Chapter 496 – The name that is written in the corner of the scroll
Chapter 496 – The name that is written in the corner of the scroll
During his time in Yunfu, he lived extremely happily.
The Southern Imperial City was always full of deception, like a shadow in the earthly world. But here is really like a big green mountain, facing the light and wind, without any haze. There is no concealment or deception.
So he didn't plan to hide his father's name until that day he went to the Cloud Library to read.
In the Cloud Series Book Pavilion, there are only two small floors, but there is also an unwritten rule - if you have not read the entire scroll on the first floor, you cannot enter the cultivator's scroll on the second floor.
The volume of the first layer is mediocre. Some are travelogues, diaries, some are dramas, novels, and some are like the "Mainland Tree Planting Illustrated" and "Classic of Mountains and Seas", all of which are illustrated books.
And Xu Yan and Jin Qianji also had to look at the volume on the first floor with Xiao Zhu because of this rule.
Then Xu Yan saw a small print on the last page of a volume.
"Fan Yun Mansion belongs, be sure to look for the man named Xu Tian, and then tie him to the Cloud Cong Book Pavilion and kneel on the ground to admit his mistake. 」
Then he saw another paragraph from the small note at the end of the last page of another volume: "Xu Tian, that bastard, how could he do this!"
"Xu Tian, I hate you!"
There were too many small bets, and Xu Yan quietly shed a drop of sweat from the smooth bald head.
Then he went to ask Master Zhuo what was going on with these small notes, and Master Zhuo sighed, and then said in a nonchalant tone, "I heard that it was written by one of the pavilion keepers of the Cloud Series Book Pavilion. 」
"It's impossible to know exactly what happened. Probably only the lord of the mansion knows, right? It's just that that's the code of every generation of cabinet keepers. As he spoke, he pointed to the [Hun Tianzhu] at the top of the Cloud Series Book Pavilion: "Every day, in addition to monitoring the movements on the mainland, the pavilion guards also need to find the person named Xu Tian. It can be said that it is the daily homework of the cabinet keepers. 」
Xu Yan snorted, as if he was careless, and said, "How do I find it? Is there a portrait of him? I want to see it too." 」
Zhuoguan shook his head: "There is no portrait. 」
Xu Yan's heart was slightly relaxed, but the next moment he tensed up again: "Only a wisp of his divine sense tracks. 」
"I really don't know what kind of hatred that generation of pavilion guards has with him, and such a big battle has brought him a ray of divine sense. It is said that Xu Tian somehow sneaked into the Cloud Cong Book Pavilion and stole all the scrolls on the first floor inside. Now you see that every scroll is copied back by hand by the generation of pavilion guards with their own unforgettable memories. 」
"It took me thirty years to get those scrolls back. It is said that every time he copied a scroll, he felt that hatred, and only then wrote a small note in the corner of the last page. 」
Xu Yan was dumbfounded, and then remembered the year he had studied in the courtyard of a remote village in the south of the city. Those volumes are hidden......
Stealing books from Yunfu!?
For some reason, Xu Yan thought of something terrible.
Those scrolls were stolen from the Cloud Library?
There was no specific pretense on his face, because he was really shocked. And Zhuoguan didn't think it was anything special, anyway, who he told this allusion to, their expressions were similar to Xu Yan's.
"So, with that wisp of consciousness, did you succeed in finding him?"
Zhuo Guan shrugged: "I haven't succeeded, anyway, hundreds of years have passed, so it's not certain that Xu Tian may be dead." If it weren't for the fact that it was the iron law of every generation of cabinet keepers, I would have wanted to give up looking for this dead man every day. 」
Xu Yan snorted and never spoke again.
Because he knew very well that his father was not dead.
............
Because of this, he was speechless when Song Zhixuan asked. Because he didn't know how Yun Fu would react when he learned that he was the son of Xu Tian. Maybe it was really as Xu Tian said, and he was cut into eighteen pieces!?
Song Zhixuan saw that Xu Yan was silent, and he didn't ask, "Let's get down to business. If you use fire to enter the pattern, when the other five palaces break through, you will naturally be able to enter the pattern with fire. Heavenly fire is the most fire in the world, if the level of flame you use to enter the pattern is too low, it will definitely be swallowed by the heavenly fire, and there will be problems at that time. 」
Xu Yan nodded, he had dealt with the Heavenly Fire since he was born, and naturally knew how violent and domineering the Heavenly Fire in the Heart Palace was: "Is it only by that wisp of residual fire?"
Song Zhixuan nodded and said, "Although that wisp of residual fire is very weak, I can feel that the level in it is not low, I think I can give it a try." Anyway, if you can get it, it's a kind of chance. 」
Xu Yan smiled bitterly: "Okay, but it's far to the west, so I don't know what year or month it will take to rush over like this. 」
Song Zhixuan's face showed a smile that seemed to be not a smile: "Senior brother, although your [Floating Cloud] has become a great achievement, your realm is too weak to travel long distances. On this long trip, the third junior brother will accompany you. With the strength of the third junior brother, he probably won't encounter too many dangers. 」
Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then became excited: "It depends on the temperament of the third senior brother!?"
Xu Shichang has a gentle and optimistic personality, and has a bit of a pure heart. But because of this, he is also easily deceived in all kinds. To put it simply – it's unreliable!
Song Zhixuan's face was straight: "Little Senior Brother, why do you think of your Third Senior Brother like this? Originally, I planned to take the two of you to the West to look for opportunities when the Sixth Senior Brother was about to break through. But now that something has happened to the sixth junior brother, I naturally have to stay here and guard him. And the third junior brother has a share in stealing fish with you, so naturally you should also bear the responsibility. 」
He waved his hand, as if he had made up his mind, "So be it, tomorrow morning, you will be ready to leave for the West." 」
............
The next day, Xu Yan rubbed his eyes.
Although meditation instead of sleep is the best and fastest way to practice, Xu Yan still can't completely give up sleep. After all, sleep is the real way to relax and rest, so he still goes to sleep a few days a week.
He walked to a stone platform, rubbed his sleepy eyes with his left hand, and pressed his right hand on a dark stone platform.
The stone platform is dark and inconspicuous, but when Xu Yan's texture falls on the stone platform, with Xu Yan's palm landing point as the center, red lines spread outward. Finally, a fiery red pattern took shape, a simple fiery sun pattern.
Xu Yan saw that the stone table pattern was formed, so he put a metal jar on the pattern. The jar was filled with water, and under the heat of the scorching sun, the water in the jar gradually boiled. Seeing this, Xu Yan nodded with satisfaction, sprinkled some tea leaves casually, and went to freshen up.
After a long time, when Xu Yan came out, he picked up the metal jar and drank tea.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Xu, I'm here. 」
"Little junior brother, and me. 」
A voice is naturally Lan Mingxin, and the other with unconcealable excitement is Xu Shichang.
