Chapter Ninety-Eight: Nankang Academy
"Goo, goo!"
Li Yichen, who was sitting in the martial arts hall, did not wake up from the world of "Taiyi Five Elements Swordsmanship" until his stomach protested.
Raising his head, Li Yichen first looked around, and the people around him who were looking through the cheats didn't know when they had left, and now the entire martial arts hall seemed quiet, and only Li Yichen was still staying here.
Seeing that there was no one around, Li Yichen raised his head and looked at the distant sky through the window. In the sky, the sun was already high in the middle of the sky at this time, and now it was ready to rush home.
"It's lunchtime, no wonder there's no one here, so everyone goes back to eat. ”
Seeing that it was noon, it would already be lunch time in Tangjiang Town. At this time, Li Yichen was already sitting at home with his grandmother and Li Xinyuan around the dining table eating lunch.
"It's all going to eat, and it looks like I'm going to have to find a place to get something to eat. ”
Standing up, Li Yichen touched his slightly deflated stomach with his hand, as if comforting it, and said to himself.
"At this time, Li Xinyuan should have returned home and eaten with her grandmother, right? I forgot to tell Li Xinyuan that I came to the martial arts hall today, this Li Xinyuan couldn't find me just now, and when she sees me later, she will definitely call me again." ”
After walking out of the martial arts hall, Li Yichen walked on the big playground of the academy, at this time, the students in the academy had already gone to eat, and it was already difficult to find a figure everywhere.
At the thought of forgetting to tell Li Xinyuan, so that she couldn't find her to go home for dinner, Li Yichen couldn't help but feel that he would have to face her complaints after seeing her sister later.
"When I go back at this time, when I get home, the family will definitely finish eating, so I'll just stop by and eat nearby. ”
Seeing that the time was not early, and Li Yichen was still going to go to the library in the afternoon, so he decided not to go back, and directly dealt with it casually near the academy.
Out of the gate of the college, on the street at the entrance of the college, there are more than a dozen small restaurants open at a glance, the doors of these small restaurants are not very large, and there are seven or eight small tables in the hall inside. The main business of these small restaurants is the students of the academy or the farmers who come to the town to catch the market.
"Man, serve me two side dishes, and then bring me a bowl of rice. ”
Li Yichen casually found a small shop that looked relatively clean from the outside, and after sitting down after entering, he urged the guys in the store loudly.
"Come on!"
As soon as Li Yichen's words fell, a chubby middle-aged man ran out from the back of the hall, with a Maitreya Buddha-like smile on his round face. The man responded to Li Yichen while running
In a small shop like this, the guy usually has a shopkeeper who personally serves as a part-time person. Needless to say, the middle-aged man who ran out of the back of the hall must be the shopkeeper of this small restaurant.
"Little brother, what do you need to come?"
The middle-aged man trotted over, stood at Li Yichen's table and stopped, bowed his head and asked with a smile.
"Just bring me two dishes to eat a little bit and then bring me a bowl of rice. ”
The taste of the whole Tangjiang Town is still a bit heavy, all the dishes are mainly salty and spicy, and a request like Li Yichen is not a requirement for the restaurants in the town.
"Wait, you'll be right away!"
After hearing Li Yichen's request, the fat shopkeeper went directly into the kitchen to arrange for Li Yichen.
is the so-called half-sized child, eating poor old man, or the taste in this store is really in line with Li Yichen's taste, I saw that he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand with satisfaction after eating the whole three bowls of rice.
After settling the account, Li Yichen touched his round stomach with his hand and walked slowly towards the academy.
At this time, there were already people walking around in the academy, and these were all students who returned to the academy after going home to eat.
"I don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway, and there's nowhere to go, so I might as well go to the library early to read the books." ”
When I walked to the playground, I saw that the classmates who passed me on the playground were pointing at me behind my back. Li Yichen thought about it, there was nowhere to go, it was better to go directly to the library.
The library is not far from the martial arts hall, and it is also a small courtyard with a separate courtyard, and a small three-story building is located in this courtyard.
Approaching the courtyard door, Li Yichen tapped a few times with his hand.
"Hello, teacher, I want to go into the library to look up some books. This is Dean Lu's edict. ”
After the courtyard door was opened, after seeing the head poking out from behind the door, Li Yichen hurriedly handed over the note written by Lu Gang.
The guard of this library was a lean old man, with a full head of white hair, a pair of cloudy eyes, a hooked nose, and few teeth left in his mouth, even the remaining two were yellow.
After the old man took the note handed over by Li Yichen with his right hand like a chicken claw, he came to his eyes and looked at it carefully, returned the note to Li Yichen, and then opened the courtyard door a little and motioned for Li Yichen to go in directly.
The collection of books in the library of Tangjiang Academy is relatively miscellaneous, such as the subset of classics and history, the hundred schools of thought, the biographies of characters, myths and legends, it can be said that in addition to the books of cultivation, there are one or two books collected here, so although this library is also a three-story small building like the martial arts museum, it covers a much larger area than the martial arts museum.
After walking into the small building, Li Yichen was startled by what he saw, the hall with a length and width of nearly twenty meters was neatly filled with long bookshelves, the bookshelves were about two meters high, and the top floor would definitely not be able to reach if he didn't borrow a ladder, and the distance between each bookrack was only enough to accommodate two people side by side, and each bookcase was densely packed with books.
"If there are so many books on all three floors, when do I have to see them?"
Li Yichen, who was completely unprepared for this, also felt a little at a loss, the collection of books here was beyond Li Yichen's imagination, and he felt a little at a loss at this time.
"Luckily, all the books here are organized into separate categories. ”
After approaching the bookshelves, Li Yichen found that there was a small piece of paper pasted on each row of each shelf, and the paper piece of paper indicated which category the row of books belonged to.
"I don't know if I can find some clues from history, and see if the ancients have ever met someone as angry as me. ”
Although Li Yichen had long planned to go to the library to look for some information to see if he could find books that described the true qi in his body in detail, he would really see these thousands of books, and there was no good way for a while, so he could only check it from the history books first.
"A Brief History of Tianyun Continent, let's start with this one. ”
Walking to the bookshelf with history written on it, Li Yichen took out a thick book, and saw that it was a brief introduction to the history of the entire Tianyun Continent. Li Yichen thought about it, and it was better to start with this book, which should be an outline of all history books first.
The slightly larger open space in the library is occupied by bookshelves, so there is not a single table to be found in the entire library.
Li Yichen stood in front of the bookshelf, leaned back against the bookshelf, held the "A Brief History of the Tianyun Continent" on his chest with his left hand, and began to flip through it.
At the beginning of the book, it is introduced that originally there was chaos between the heaven and the earth, and there were no creatures in the whole world, but later a great god named Pangu used his hands to open this chaotic world, and since then the whole world has this heaven and earth.
"Oh, how did heaven and earth come from, and where did all these things come from?"
Seeing this, Li Yichen knew the origin of heaven and earth, but after knowing the answer to a question, a new question arose. With this question, Li Yichen lowered his head and continued to look down.
"Are these so-called yin and yang qi these two true qi in my body?"
After seeing Pangu open the world and die, the body exuded yin and yang qi, and then from this yin and yang qi to breed all things, Li Yichen's heart opened the word yin and yang slightly, and he was thinking about whether the yin and yang qi were the two true qi in his body.
In order to find this answer, Li Yichen quickly flipped through the book "A Brief History of the Mainland", and this thick book was quickly read by Li Yichen, but after reading the last word of the book, Li Yichen did not find a specific description of the yin and yang, and everything involved was a brush.
"The Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. ”
"Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, and gossip performs all things. ”
"One yin and one yang is the way. ”
One by one, Li Yichen went through some books on history, feng shui, fate, alchemy, and alchemy. In these books, Li Yichen found that the words Yin and Yang were all recorded, but they were all written in the Spring and Autumn Period, without describing them in detail, but the description of the five elements was focused on almost every book, as if there was a fault in the history of the entire Tianyun Continent in ancient times, and all the information about the word Yin and Yang was wiped out in the long river of history, and what we know now is just some hearsay.
Until the sun had set and there were already thousands of lights outside, Li Yichen still didn't find the answer he wanted, so he had no choice but to leave the library and go home.
Every morning, I studied various cultivation secrets in the martial arts hall, and in the afternoon, I stayed in the library to read various subsets of scriptures and histories, hundreds of schools of thought, character biographies, myths and legends, etc., and a month passed in a blink of an eye. During this period of time, although he had not found a specific description of the two qi of yin and yang in the library, Li Yichen still had eight points of certainty in his heart, affirming that the true qi in his body was the two qi of yin and yang.
On this morning, Li Yichen accompanied Li Xinyuan to the college as usual.
Before arriving at the academy, far away, Li Yichen found that today's academy was a little different from usual, the tall courtyard gate was decorated magnificently at this time, and there were flowers and red silk hanging on the horizontal plaque.
"Is there anything happy in the academy today?"
Li Yichen, who had been staying in the Martial Arts Hall and the Library during this time, could be said to have been deaf to what was going on outside the window, and when he saw the current situation of the academy, he didn't know what it was because of it, so he turned his head to Li Xinyuan and asked.
"Brother, what have you been doing all this time? This is the academy exchange meeting tomorrow, and today other colleges are coming over one after another. Don't you even know that?"
After hearing Li Yichen's question, Li Xinyuan stared at Li Yichen like a monster, the college has been busy for this exchange conference in the past few days, and his brother didn't know at all.
Hearing Li Xinyuan's answer, Li Yichen touched his head a little embarrassed, he had been flipping through books all this time, and he really didn't care about other things.
"Look, it seems to be from Nankang Academy. ”
Just when Li Yichen didn't know how to answer Li Xinyuan's question, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in front of him.
Following the sound, Li Yichen found that a large group of people were slowly walking towards Tangjiang College on horseback.
"Brother, from Nankang Academy, let's go up and have a look. ”
As soon as she heard that it was Nankang College coming, Li Xinyuan didn't care to ask her brother what he was doing during this time, so she pulled his sleeve and ran forward. (To be continued.) )
