Chapter 64: The Old Man Who Sweeps the Floor

The library is located in a hidden spot in the mountains behind the miscellaneous area, and there is only an overgrown path leading there, which cannot be found unless you look closely. In such a barren and populated land, Wang Yanzhen doubted that someone would bring him food, but fortunately, he had Yanhuang Zaohuading to exchange for food, so he didn't have to worry about this problem.

Walking along the overgrown path less than 100 steps, suddenly opened, the green mountains and green trees, the flowers and willows were green, and the barrenness just now formed a sharp contrast, just looking at the scenery is pleasing to the eye. Walking up the mountain road, until the summit saw a two-story building with a width of six rooms, hidden in the woods at the top of the peak, it is no wonder that it has not been found.

The floor in front of the library building is clean, and there is not a trace of fallen leaves. The north and south windows of the building are open for air circulation, which can be ventilated and mildew-proof. If it is a library building with cultivation exercises hidden in the outer door, there will definitely be a large array of protection, which is like there is not even a lock here, and because of the long construction age, there are traces of corrosion on the walls and columns, Wang Yan went up and pushed it, it is very strong, it seems that there is no tofu scum project in the Kowloon Continent.

"Young man, why are you here?" a voice suddenly appeared in his ear.

"I'll you!" Wang Yan jumped away suddenly, and when he looked back, it turned out to be an old man in shabby clothes, with gray hair, skinny bones, and a withered face.

"Who are you, why did you sneak up behind me?" Wang Yan asked subconsciously.

"I'm a sweeper here. The old man's hands resembling dry wood were holding a broom.

No wonder the ground in front of the library building is so clean, and it turns out that there are still people who clean it regularly.

Wang Yan came back to his senses and said, "I was arranged by Steward Wang to live in the library building temporarily, and I will be here for a long time in the future." ”

The old man did not doubt the truth of Wang Yan's words, and continued to sweep his ground.

"Girl, why didn't you remind me that someone was there just now?"

"Uncle, this person does not pose the slightest threat, so he is naturally not within the monitoring range of the super satellite. ”

"No, this old man is obviously an unfathomable sweeping monk!" Wang Yan began to make up his mind again, "Generally, in a more important place like the library building, there is often a master in charge, and it is the most inconspicuous existence. ”

"Uncle, you've read too many martial arts novels!"

Woo~~Woo~~Ah~~Ah~~~

Wang Yan only felt a flock of crows flying overhead.

"Old man, how long have you been cleaning the library?" Wang Yan asked with a smile, taking the old man's broom and helping him sweep the floor.

The old man was also idle, as if recalling: "How long has it been..... Is it sixty years, or eighty?"

"I've been wiping it for so long!" Wang Yan couldn't help but burst into foul language, after so many years of sweeping work, he hadn't been able to turn positive, either he was a hidden master, or he was a desperate person who was completely waiting for death.

"Uncle, according to the detection, no strong man's breath was found on him. ”

"With your current technological strength, you can detect the strength of the other party?"

The girl replied, "The Heaven and Earth audio-visual system we have installed has recorded the actions of many old men, and he has not done anything unusual at all except sweeping the floor. ”

"Could it really be that I'm thinking too much?" Wang Yan himself was a little unsure, "Is it possible for the old man to discover the existence of the Heaven and Earth Audiovisual System?"

"This is absolutely impossible, the video and audio acquisition device of the Heaven and Earth Audiovisual System is originally a technological product, and it will not cause any spiritual power fluctuations, and the main search method of the Kowloon Continent is divine consciousness, and it cannot be detected without spiritual power fluctuations. Moreover, our devices are perfectly attached to the surrounding objects, and cannot be detected unless they are violently destroyed. ”

The formation of the Tiandi audio-visual system is to provide map materials for the online game "Kowloon Continent", and the second is to facilitate Wang Yan's escape and do the corresponding monitoring work. Now that this system has begun to steal information from the people and things around it, it is not difficult to imagine that it will be a pervasive intelligence network in the future.

"Old man, have you been living in the library all along?" Wang Yan asked, it was a miracle that an old miscellaneous disciple like the old man could survive to this day, and the intrigue and disputes between the miscellaneous disciples were also very tragic.

"Yes, I've been living here since I was tasked with cleaning the library. "The old sweeper seems to have not spoken to anyone for a long time, and his speech is very slow, as if he is stuck in a memory.

Wang Yan was very puzzled, and then asked: "Then who prepared your food for so many years, and you don't seem to have been to the canteen in the miscellaneous area." ”

This is a lie to him, after all, Wang Yan has only been in the miscellaneous service area for two days, and he doesn't even know where the eating place in the miscellaneous service area is, how can he know that the old man who sweeps the floor has not been to the canteen.

"There is a vegetable garden that I have developed in the back mountain, which is completely self-sufficient, and from time to time there are miscellaneous disciples who send living materials, and I can get by. The old sweeper explained, in a very sincere tone.

Wang Yan couldn't judge the truth of the old man's words, but he felt that something was wrong, and even Steward Wang didn't tell him about the existence of this sweeping old man, either he thought the old man was dead, or the old man was lying. However, it has nothing to do with him what the old man's purpose is in the library, as long as it doesn't interfere with himself.

"Old man, Steward Wang sent me to clean the library, and you can retire in the future!" Wang Yan said with a little arrogance.

Wang Yan didn't care whether what the old sweeper said was true or not, according to the consistent style of being timid and afraid of death, he directly regarded him as an imaginary enemy, and the safest way to deal with the old sweeper was to drive him away directly and let him go to Wang to reason. Anyway, now he is pretending to be the rich second generation of a big family.

"Decayed.... Old man, where else can I go if I leave the library?" the old man said and sobbed, it was really desolate.

Once Wang Yan, who has a black belly, identifies as an imaginary enemy, where will he pay attention to the old man's pity. In his opinion, the old man is a master of disguise, and he may kill him at any time. Although this speculation is unfounded, there is nothing wrong with caution.

The more the old man cried, the more fierce he became, from sobbing to crying, at his age he was completely out of touch with society, and he could still live in the library, and after going out, I was afraid that even eating would be a problem.

When Wang Yan saw this situation, he couldn't be ruthless even if he was black, after all, he had lived in the era of peace on earth for so many years, and he still had compassion.

"Old man, otherwise, in the future, you will be responsible for cleaning the library and my food!" Wang Yan still said arrogantly, "Anyway, I am also the manager of this library, and I will give you a way to live if you look pitiful." ”

He just wants to create the image of a gentleman in front of the sweeping old man, and paralyzing the imaginary enemy is also his usual trick.

"Thank you, thank you, my lord" The old man who swept the floor seemed to have found a support, and thanked Wang Yan repeatedly.

Wang Yan also pretended to enjoy it very much, and said, "Work hard under me in the future, I will not treat you badly." ”

The old man was submissive, and his performance was flattered, which was very natural, and even Wang Yan himself doubted his guesses.

"Old man, this is for you. Wang Yan took out a super book and gave it to him, "As my follower, how can you not have this thing?"

The old man was stunned, took the superbook and asked, "My lord, this is .......?"

Wang Yan said in an arrogant tone: "This is called a superbook, it is a rare thing in the Nine Dragons Continent, it can not only play games, but also trade with other netizens, there are many benefits, you can figure it out slowly!"

The old man was puzzled.

"Uncle, why did you give him the superbook, didn't you suspect that there was something wrong with him?"

Wang Yan smiled confidently and said: "It's not a doubt but an affirmation, generally a down-and-out person like him must first be grateful to me when he receives something from me, rather than asking what this thing is." ”

"Since Uncle found out that he had a problem, why did he give him the Superbook?"

"Hehe!" Wang Yan smiled evilly, "Isn't giving him a super book equivalent to planting a time bomb next to him?"

"....." The girl suddenly felt that the world was so dark.

Wang Yan ignored the old man's doubts, and then asked, "Old man, take me to the place where I live." ”

"Yes, sir. Please come with me!" the old man quickly gave up his doubts about Superbook and respectfully motioned for Wang Yan to follow him.

With the help of the super satellite, Wang Yan had already known where the library was staying, and asking this question was just a test of the old man.

"By the way, old man, what's your name?" asked Wang Yan pretending to be careless.

The old man's footsteps paused slightly, and then he whispered: "Back to my lord, the old man is called Xiang Wentian, and the adult can call me Old Man Xiang." ”

"Old man Xiang, the person who gave you the name wants you to become a literate person with a good family!" Wang Yan teased, "I didn't expect you to choose the path of cultivation." ”

He said this very rudely, and wanted to test the old man's reaction.

Old man Xiang didn't seem to find Wang Yan's intentions, and echoed: "Maybe, who knows?"

Wang Yan didn't say much, but in his heart, he felt more and more that this old man was not simple.

Soon the two of them went to a side room on the west side of the library building, which was the place to stay, it was very clean, and it seemed that Old Man Xiang was cleaning it every day. The inside is very spacious, and the layout is the same as the residence of the disciples in the miscellaneous service area, the difference is that there is only one person living here, Old Man Xiang, and there will be one more Wang Yan in the future.

After looking at the beds, Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Old man Xiang, the accommodation environment here is much better than the miscellaneous area, no wonder you like to stay here." ”

Old man Xiang did not respond to Wang Yan.

"Old man Xiang, you have been in the library for so many years, tell me about the situation of the library, by the way, are there any hidden martial arts secrets or something. Wang Yan observed Old Man Xiang's expression as he spoke.

Old man Xiang's expression was very calm, and he said unhurriedly: "The old man has never found any martial arts secrets in the library for so many years, but there are a lot of books on the mainland, such as geography and miscellaneous records, and cultural customs. ”

I guess I guessed wrong again, Old Man Xiang is hiding here not to collect books, Wang Yan said secretly in his heart.

Old man Xiang continued: "The library has a total collection of 136,923 volumes, including 33,215 volumes of geographical miscellaneous records, 17,325 volumes of sectarian miscellaneous records, 29,500 volumes of humanities and customs, 13,758 volumes of the official history of the Kowloon Mainland, 39,700 volumes of wild history, and 3,445 volumes of strange miscellaneous stories. ”

"Let me you, old man Xiang, are you a supercomputer, can you memorize so many books!" Wang Yan exclaimed.

Old man Xiang couldn't help but say ashamedly: "I count the books every day when I have nothing to do, and after a long time, I remember the number of books, but the content is rarely read. ”

"I'll rub it, you're awesome!" Wang Yan complained powerlessly.
