14. Fragments of the Book of Heaven?
"Kyushu Baiwenlu"? Looks good, take it. ”
"Five Thousand Years from Summer"? Wait, has it been so long since the Xia Immortal Dynasty was established? ”
"The History of the Daogui Sword Sect? Hiss...... How does it sound like a bandit start? Forget it, let's watch it together. ”
"What do you have to say about the two ways of righteousness and demons"? Well, it's not something that can't be reviewed, right? ”
……
In the library building, Su Mu wandered around every corner, and whenever he passed by a row of bookshelves, Su Mu would have a lot of heavy and dusty books in his hands, most of which were about telling the history of the world and various anecdotes.
The sun outside the building is really good, and the smell of books lingers in the building.
The library building is nine floors high, and the treasures of the books in the building are increasing layer by layer, and I heard that the nine floors of the library building even have the "Sword Sutra" at the level of Zhenzong.
Although Su Mu has already seen it, it is fake, Daogui Sword Sect is spreading the news to go fishing, it depends on which fool is fooled.
As the lowest layer, most of the collections here are all kinds of folk books, wild history records, solo records and the like, and its collection is wide, all over the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism!
This kind of book is meaningless to the Tao, so most of the disciples came to the library building to read it without reading it, and only went up to the upper level, which just gave Su Mu a clean reading environment.
Su Mu held a thick stack of books, found a corner with light at random, and was not afraid of getting dirty, so he sat in the light, took out a copy casually, and read it leisurely.
Looking around to see if there was anyone, Su Mu directly swept it with his divine thoughts, and used the fluctuating speed reading method, and he could memorize the content of a book in his mind with one breath.
However, at the time of tea, most of the books that were stacked on the left side of the Su curtain at the beginning, which were fully one person high, had moved to the right side at this time.
"Huh? The book ...... How is it only the first half? ”
When Su Mu read the last book, he unexpectedly found that this book that recorded the history of the human race and the demon race in the ancient barbarian era was only the first half, and it happened to be broken at the moment when the saint and the Dao ancestor appeared.
"Damn, why are there all out of chapter dogs here? Someday with a sword in hand......"
Su Mu, who was enjoying watching it, got up scolding, and was about to go to the bookshelf to find out if there was any of the lower half of the book.
But why does the history of the book only mention the Nine Realms of Confucianism and Taoism? What about Buddhism? It stands to reason that there shouldn't be a monk who is born to point to the heavens and the earth and is arrogant and infinite? Su Mu wondered as he searched.
According to the history he now knows, Buddhism and Taoism seem to be just a flash in the pan in this world, although there are extremely brilliant moments, and at the peak they can compete with Confucianism and Taoism, but now there are no Buddhism and Taoism sects in the righteous path, only the demon path seems to still have some joy-Zen inheritance.
However, it is not that the Buddha Tao has disappeared, but there are indeed not many Buddhist cultivators, and now they are all cultivating their own ways, practicing in secluded and uninhabited places.
"Confucianism is in the court, Taoism is in the opposition, and Buddhism is in decline?" Su Mu's fingertips swiped over a book catalogue and muttered to himself.
Confucianism, which is as famous as Taoism, is now attached to the Lixia Immortal Dynasty and develops with the luck of the human race and the national fortune of the Immortal Dynasty.
The sects of the righteous path are wandering outside the mountains, taking the cave heaven and blessed land as the sect, and it takes several or even more than ten years to open the mountain gate to recruit disciples.
However, these are all things that Su Mu learned by the way, and Su Mu's main concern is actually "whether there are other Ninth Realm overhauls in this world".
The good news is: no, he is indeed the ceiling.
The bad news is that the old silver coins may be hidden in a pile under the ceiling, such as Su Mu.
"Forget it, let's stay for a while, anyway, I've been cultivating for ten years, and I don't care about this time." Su Mu smiled with relief.
He likes swordsmanship, and now that he is a sword immortal, he has seen too few swords, so if he has the opportunity, he really wants to see the sword cultivation in the world, is it as romantic as he imagined?
"Well, I found it!"
Su Mu happily found the lower half of the book from the bottom and most remote corner of the shelf.
The book was pulled out and shaken slightly, and the accumulated dust flew like a fairy in the light.
"The saint has fallen, the Dao Ancestor Immortal is hidden, and the Spring and Autumn Period is over?"
As soon as he opened a few pages, Su Mu's brows furrowed slightly.
There is no doubt that the Confucian sage who has educated the world is the ninth realm, but what kind of situation can make the ninth realm saint fall?
If even a saint is going to be robbed, what about him?
Su Mu flipped through a few pages in succession, but found that the description of the death of the saint in the whole book was vague, only mentioning that after the death of the saint, the demon clan who had been fighting with the human race for thousands of years actually took the initiative to retreat, and until now they are surviving in the wild mountains, and there is occasional friction with the Xia Immortal Dynasty, which was established for thousands of years.
But in general, the well water on both sides is still in a state where the river water does not interfere with the river water.
"Huh?"
When Su Mu finished reading the whole book thoroughly and was about to stuff the book back into the corner, his expression moved.
Su Mu raised his head and met a pair of old eyes.
The old man in sackcloth stood with his back lit, his body was like a dead tree, his face was withered, his hands were tucked in his sleeves, and he appeared not far from Su Mu at some point, looking very difficult to touch.
The old man first glanced at Su Mu, and then his gaze fell on the book in Su Mu's hand.
"How?"
The old man spoke, his voice unexpectedly cold, faintly like wind and snow.
"It's not bad, it's very interesting, and it should be a good bedtime book for children." Su Mu put the books in his hand back one by one, and said how he felt after reading.
Su Mu was not surprised by the appearance of the old man, although he didn't know who the old man was, but since he got the first volume of this Spring and Autumn Hidden Record, he noticed that the old man's eyes were secretly watching him.
It wasn't until he finished reading the upper and lower volumes that the old man appeared at the right time.
"That's it?" A hint of disappointment flashed in the old man's eyes.
He thought that Su Mu could choose these two books because of some special discovery, but he didn't expect that he was really just reading books?
"Or else?" Su Mu asked rhetorically.
The old man in Mai was silent for a moment, then turned around and prepared to leave: "If you just study, you should be more serious, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”
It seems that he still overestimates this young man who can ring the bell of conscience and trigger the enlightenment of thousands of people, but he doesn't mind giving the boy a reminder.
But just as the old man was about to leave, the young man's clear voice suddenly sounded from behind:
"Windfall? Do you mean the half of the sword book hidden between the lines? ”
The old man turned around sharply and looked at Su Mu in disbelief!
Su Mu didn't hurry to put all the books on the shelves, then he clapped his hands and grinned sideways at the old man.
No one can pretend to be in front of him, no one!
"You...... Do you see that? ”
There was some excitement in the old man's cold voice.
Unexpectedly, in the face of the old man's question, Su Mu shook his head.
"What do you mean?" The old man frowned.
"You don't know?" Su Mu seemed a little surprised.
Hearing Su Mu's questioning, the old man was not angry, but just shook his head regretfully: "I only know that there is half of the sword book in the book, but no matter how I look at it, I can't see the slightest mystery." ”
The old man could recite the contents of the book upside down, so he put this book that was useless to him in the library building.
Today, I also noticed that this book was turned over, and I accidentally found that the person who turned it was still this Su curtain who stirred up the storm as soon as he entered the door, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in the old man's heart.
"Because this sword code is not what I can see."
Su Mu shrugged, and then quipped: "The person who wrote this book should be the author of the sword book, he fused the sword intent into the pen and ink, that is, to write the book, but also to teach the sword, and at the same time to sway the spirit in his heart, so just look at it with his eyes and definitely can't see anything, you have to be attentive!" ”
"Intentions?" The old man muttered to himself, his expression thoughtful.
That is to say, no matter how he has read this book for more than ten years, it is only superficial, thinking that the sword fairy is using calligraphy to perform swordsmanship, but in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, just need to understand it with his heart?
But the old man then shook his head again and denied this: "Not quite right, the word heart is simple to say, but it is also the most difficult in the world." ”
"Intentions" is just two words, but it is the simplest and most difficult thing in the world to do.
"It's the old man who is shallow!" The old man let out a long sigh, and no longer had any doubts about Su Mu's talent.
"Do you really believe it?"
Looking at the contemplative old man, Su Mu was stunned for a moment, and then scratched his cheeks in embarrassment.
What's that, he just saw that someone wanted to pretend to be forced in front of him, so he was a little unhappy, but he didn't expect to really fool people and be lame.
What a "heartfelt understanding" is just made up.
The author of this book did integrate half of the sword book with his own sword intent into pen and ink, and the reason why the old man couldn't notice it was very simple-
The realm is not enough!
The old man is at most the peak of the Law Phase, a half-step Daojun, and the master of the sword intent in this book, Su Mu is conservatively estimated to be the peak of a Dao Monarch, plus that person's means are exquisite, the average Dao Monarch is estimated to be undetectable, and as an old man in the Law Realm realm, it is really normal to feel helpless.
The old man who originally wanted to pretend to be a master looked a little embarrassed at this time when he faced Su Mu, who held the key to his promotion to Daojun.
Could it be that he was a peak cultivator of the Dharma Phase Realm and wanted to ask a rookie disciple who had just started for two or three days?
However, the old man figured it out in an instant, as long as he can be promoted to Daojun, face counts as a ball!
"The old man buried the head of the Sword Peak Peak, Sun Jianque, and there is a reluctant request, and I also ask the little friend to agree." The eldest grandson Jianque looked solemn, flicked his sleeves lightly, and said loudly to Su Muzuo.
It was only after a stick of incense that Su Mu left the library in the eyes of the eldest grandson Jianque.
Even if it is a complete sword canon, it is only dispensable for Su Mu, only for reference, not to mention half of it.
Unless the owner of that sword book appears, Su Mu may still be a little interested.
Therefore, Su Mu did not have any pity for telling the old man about this sword codex, after all, he also knew a lot of things from the old man.
And the most critical ......
The corners of Su Mu's mouth were hooked, and he chuckled and took out a piece of dim yellow mutilated paper from his arms.
"The sword book is just a cover-up, this thing is the real treasure in this book." Su Mu looked at the fragment in his hand with strange eyes.
Even if he used his Sword Immortal Divine Mind to probe this fragment, he just didn't react like a mud cow entering the sea.
But although Su Mu doesn't know this thing, he has it!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Heavenly Book Fragment]"
