Chapter 14: The Bookworm's Past

"Have you eaten the Tao Te Ching?" Zhou Kun was stunned when he heard this, he knew very well the status of the Tao Te Ching, whether on the earth or in this world.

"Yes, this book was written by an ancient sage riding a green ox, and his name is very good for the taste of this seat, called Lao Tzu. The bookworm clicked his mouth a few times after speaking, and seemed to be still savoring.

"......" Zhou Kun was speechless, even Zhou Wen Wang Jichang existed in this world, and the existence of Lao Tzu and others no longer surprised Zhou Kun, he had a little bold guess in his heart, what may have happened on this continent, and even the "Hundred Schools of Thought" may have been staged in this world.

"It is said that this book is still the highest classic of Taoism, and Yin Xi, the chief disciple of Lao Tzu, once chased and killed this seat everywhere, and this time this seat saw that he was not angry with two mouthfuls of old blood. The bookworm found it very relieving.

Zhou Kun doesn't know much about the character Yin Xi, and only vaguely remembers that this person was mentioned in the "Historical Records", and it was recorded that Yin Xi stopped Lao Tzu at Hangu Pass and forcibly left his "Tao Te Ching" story.

Although there is some controversy about Yin Xi in history, I didn't expect it to really exist in this world.

"Why is Yin Xi chasing you everywhere?" asked Zhou Kun.

"This seat has only eaten dozens of books from his collection, and this person wants to accept this seat as a favor, which is really wishful thinking. The bookworm inadvertently revealed the origin.

Zhou Kun was surprised: "Are you raised by Yin Xi?"

"Fart, I'm pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. When I was a child, I passed by the Taoist house, and saw the fragrance of books in the Taoist temple, but I didn't think that I was captured alive by this person as soon as I got close...... Phew, it's a sneak attack on this seat while this seat is distracted. "The bookworm is still very angry when he talks about that time.

The later things were no different from what Zhou Kun guessed, he felt that at least seventy percent of the words of this insect were false, but some of the people and things mentioned in it may be true.

After the bookworm had eaten and drunk enough, he collected countless treasure books in the view, and escaped with the small flag.

Later, Yin Xi found that after chasing him everywhere, the bookworm was powerless to mention it with Yin Xi's power, but he relied on the small flag and shuttled around, and on the way, he was so frustrated that he fled back to the Taoist temple and stole the Taoist supreme ancient book "Tao Te Ching", which was the precious book of sages left in the Taoist temple after Lao Tzu rode away on a green ox.

After the bookworm stole the book of the sages, he crossed millions of miles with a small flag and came to the Dongsheng Academy, which was another scourge, hiding in the library pavilion, but he did not even let go of the word "book" on the plaque, until he swallowed the "Tao Te Ching", fell into a deep sleep, and slept for thousands of years, until Zhou Kun arrived.

Thinking that the things involved were too long, Zhou Kun felt that it would take a long time to explore the history of this place, and what he was most concerned about at the moment was his hidden book.

After completing the stage of introducing the book into the body, he found that the whole body had entered a mysterious state, which was unprecedented.

He closed his eyes and meditated, and found that his brain was abundant, and if he pressed further, even his divine consciousness was born automatically.

He didn't stop, he continued to feel his body, and saw that there were runes flowing in the meridian acupoints in his body, and then looked closely, it was actually the text in "Zhou Yi", and Zhou Kun was unconsciously immersed in it.

At this moment, outside the inner courtyard wall of Dongsheng Academy, a teenager was secretly hiding in the corner, quietly handing over something with another teenager.

After a while, the two seemed to reach a consensus and left separately, and one of them walked straight to the gate of the inner courtyard, only to see that the person disappeared in an instant.

"The inner courtyard is really enviable. When the other person saw him enter the inner courtyard, his expression was full of envy, and finally he sighed and left, and walked to the outer courtyard.

After a stick of incense, in a large mansion in the inner courtyard.

"How? Has the Kong family started?" A woman with a dusty temperament was sitting in front of the bookcase, fiddling with a brush in her hand, if Zhou Kun was here, she would be immediately recognized, she was An Xin.

Sure enough, Kong Xiuwen's clan brother was enraged and sent someone to the inner courtyard to inquire about Zhou Kun's news. An Ruyun was holding a book in his hand, his eyebrows were shining, and it seemed that someone had passed on a message to him.

"I finally ran into Zhou Yi and Kong Xiuwen are in retreat, this time I thought that it would be easy for Zhou Kun to break the book position this week, but I never thought that it was a lack of qualifications, and it was impossible to step into my realm in this life, and a perfect plan dissipated like this. An Xin shook her head with some regret.

"Sometimes success or failure often depends on the details. The peerless Tianjiao Zhou Yi's younger brother is not qualified enough and failed to break the book, which is really hard to imagine, but it is still found in front of you and me.

Fortunately, I had envisioned this outcome, so I made another plan. After An Ruyun finished speaking, the corners of her mouth raised, she closed the book in her hand, and the brilliance of her eyebrows gradually dimmed.

"Haha, wonderful, wonderful...... It is worthy of the East Sage Zhuge , An Ruyun. At this time, a hearty laugh came from outside the door, and I saw a burly young man dressed in a martial robe walk out, with a long sword hanging from his waist.

If this kind of dress is in the outer courtyard, it is normal.

But in the inner courtyard, they are already an outlier, but An Xin's sister and brother were not surprised to see this person.

On the contrary, An Ruyun smiled faintly and replied: "Brother Wu has won the award, has the rumor been spread?"

"It's even smoother than expected, the Kong family is really all nerds except for Kong Xiuwen, and they are easily fooled. Presumably, it won't be long before the rumor reaches the outer court. The burly young man said.

An Ruyun nodded after listening, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "That's fine, it's time to watch the show next." ”

"Brother An's hand is beautiful, after the matter is completed, presumably Bai Gongzi's side will definitely be promoted. The burly young man said.

"Heh, Brother Wu also contributed a lot. By the way, I heard that Bai Gongzi has a younger sister, and he also went up the mountain to join the academy a few days ago, why didn't he see him?" An Ruyun asked.

"Bai Gongzi really values this clan sister and accepts her to the Hanlin Academy to observe and practice. ”

"What, it's just the first time I came, and I was connected to the Hanlin Academy. An Ruyun's expression was surprised when she heard this.

"That's right, if this happens, maybe we have a chance. The burly young man said with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

An Xin didn't say anything, glanced at the long sword on the burly young man's waist, frowned slightly, raised the brush in his hand, and drew on the white paper of the bookcase.

"Brother Wu, are you still practicing sword moves recently? I don't know if I can gain anything?" An Xin was still drawing on paper, but his voice was clear, like a fairy sound.

"Fairy An has been lifted, but there is still nothing to be found. That's it for today, and I still need to practice diligently, so I'll take my leave first. The burly young man responded with a smile, and then clenched his fists to show that he was ahead.

An Ruyun looked at the burly young man with a smile, and it was not until he was sure that he was leaving that the smile on his face gradually retracted.

"This person has insisted on dual cultivation of civil and military affairs for many years, but he has found nothing, why is he still so persistent?" An Xin felt very puzzled, and she couldn't see through this person.

"It is rumored that there is a family inheritance that is a dual cultivation of civil and military, but that is unlikely, this family has long since died out in the long river of history. "An Ruyun said.

"You're talking about...... Soldiers?" An Xin said in surprise when she heard this.

"Well, it's a pity that it's gone. ”

......

On the other side, Zhou Kun slowly withdrew from the state of concentration, he observed himself for a long time, and found that each rune walked on the big and small Zhou Tian, nourishing the meridians and acupuncture points in the body little by little, but he couldn't understand the mystery.

Eventually, he opened his eyes and wanted to ask the bookworm.

He found the bookworm lying in front of him, looking at him with big eyes.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Kun wondered.

"It's okay, did you notice a big change in your body? Boy, don't be too happy, this is just the beginning. After speaking, the bookworm crawled to his shoulder and continued: "Introducing books into the body has just stepped into the threshold, and next, you will spend a long time and patience to create your own natal book. ”
