"It is better to read 10,000 books than to walk 10,000 miles. Those big characters were clearly printed on the white scroll, and they were very eye-catching.

Lu Beichen looked at the white scroll with a slight expression.

"Although the first enlightenment is the beginning of cultivation, in order to cross that threshold, you must understand the heavens and the earth. It is important to learn to perceive in books, but how can we fully appreciate the flavors of life through a piece of paper?"

There was a hint of indifference in the calm voice - the indifference after experiencing the baptism of wind and dust.

"What does the prime minister mean ......" Lu Beichen wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

He only felt that it was very reasonable, and I don't know if it was because he had read a lot of books recently, so that there were not too many dark clouds in today's conversation, but it helped him clear the layers of fog.

Unconsciously asked the prime minister, "I haven't had time to ask, what is the relationship between the lion and the prime minister?"

Originally, Lu Beichen didn't plan to ask this question, this should be some secret matter after all, and he shouldn't ask too much, but thinking that since the prime minister was willing to hand over the key to the library to him, the red lion accompanying him for many days must have been arranged by the prime minister, he felt the need to ask, especially the absurd agreement.

The expression on the Prime Minister's face was still unwavering, and his tone was still calm and calm, "He used to be my mount, and some things were too stubborn, so ......"

"So the prime minister locked him up in the library for three hundred years?"

The prime minister smiled slightly and said, "Do you think I can live to be three hundred years old?"

Lu Beichen was a little speechless.

"Looks like you already know his story. ”

The Prime Minister said, "That lion is very similar to you. ”

Lu Beichen was slightly stunned, thinking to himself, where would it be like?

"Why do you say that?" Lu Beichen said, "Actually, I think that agreement is ridiculous. ”

Lu Beichen has actually always been curious, why would the proud and domineering Red Lion be willing to make that ridiculous agreement with the prime minister?

"You should ask the lion this question. The prime minister replied.

In the past month, the Red Lion has been by his side, and Lu Beichen has certainly had countless opportunities to ask.

But he never asked.

Because he inadvertently saw life and death in the spiritual world of the lion.

In the past three hundred years, how much baptism of wind and dust the lion has gone through before it finally came to this place, I am afraid only it knows.

Lu Beichen knows too well the feeling of being bitter and can't be complained, and he also knows the reason why he can't complain, so it's naturally difficult to ask. But after seeing the prime minister today, I suddenly remembered this matter and remembered the agreement.

The cause and effect, except for the lion, I am afraid that only the prime minister knows best.

"It's an extremely persistent creature. When I escaped from the Demon Lord, I met him in a grassland. Maybe it was the friendship that was formed during those days, and after the establishment of the Ocean Palace, it found me and made that promise to me. ”

"The prime minister was once trapped in the demon clan?" Lu Beichen was a little surprised when he heard this.

The Prime Minister was silent and did not answer, the eyes that were as deep as the sea revealed a special look, and there was a trace of fluctuations on the face that was as calm as a lake in the past.

What kind of emotion is that?

Because he was worried about mentioning the lion's sad past, he didn't ask the lion questions, but instead asked the prime minister, but Lu Beichen never thought that behind the agreement, it didn't seem to be the lion's sad past, but the prime minister's matter.

Seeing the Prime Minister's sudden silence, Lu Beichen didn't ask, but lightly turned the conversation to the other protagonist, "Did the lion make that agreement?"

"That's right. The Prime Minister said calmly.

Lu Beichen felt a little sorry in his heart.

In fact, he had always felt that he couldn't understand why this prime minister had what kind of ability and courage he had made the proud immortal red lion willing to bow his head for him, and promised to protect the library with his life.

It wasn't until now that he suddenly realized that everything was misunderstood.

"I saw the scene of life and death in its spiritual world, and perhaps because of this, it came to you. It was a bit ridiculous, but now I finally understand why. ”

"Your appearance has completely put it down, so I will give you the key to the library, and of course this is also with its permission. The prime minister said slowly.

Connecting the clips he saw that day, as well as the words that the lion had said intentionally or unintentionally, and the words he had written, Lu Beichen could easily guess the ins and outs of the whole thing, although there were still some unclear places, but it did not affect his judgment at all.

He guessed that the lion should have taken the initiative to find the prime minister, took the initiative to make that agreement, and took the initiative to pay for his life, and the lion who insisted on making that agreement that day was actually to punish himself for failing to protect the other red lion well.

There is a very soft place hidden in the fur, it is a weakness, and that is how it punishes itself, if someone can insert it into that place one day, he is willing to die, and he does not want to live alone.

The death of his partner had too much impact on him, but he promised her that he would live well......

After all kinds of irrational and rational conflicts, he made such a promise. It wasn't until Lu Beichen's appearance that he completely walked out of his obsession - death is liberation, but also a kind of tempering.

Because of that sword, it really reached the brink of death, and it understood more in an instant.

Lu Beichen has experienced this situation many times, and he naturally has a lot of feelings about this experience in his heart, and he didn't speak after being silent for a long time, but just bowed lightly to the prime minister to express his gratitude.

Now all he had to do was find the lion.

In these days, if it weren't for the story and companionship of this lion, maybe he wouldn't have grown up so far.

......

......

The road from the small palace to the library is not far, but it is really far today.

The panting appearance was really a little embarrassed, but Lu Beichen still insisted on running to the library on the second floor.

That day, the lion's voice rang in my ears again.

"No matter how much I don't want you to die, I'm still going to do my duty. ”

"You're no match for me, but I really don't want you dead yet. ”

The picture from this month also reappeared in front of him, so much so that he was so grateful to the lion that he wanted to say a word to the lion.

In the library room, the lion was lying quietly in a most comfortable corner, and for more than a month, the lion often sat there, reading and writing with him.

"When I found out that you were the lion, I actually had a lot of thoughts in my heart. At first, I felt that three hundred years ago, the Immortal Red Lion did not practice according to the clan rules, and insisted on finding another path by himself, but it turned out to be what it is now. Although he can live a long life and have an immortal body, he can't cultivate a human form in eternal life, and if he is let his clan see it, will he laugh at it? ”

But then I felt that there was a great deal of courage hidden in that story. ”

"I'll learn from you, be brave!"

The lion's eyes overflowed with a hint of mockery, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious - where did he come from!

Lu Beichen looked at its eyes, and naturally could read the slight ridicule, but he didn't care.

I opened the door again and looked at the peak in the distance, and I suddenly had a lot of thoughts in my heart.
