Chapter 8 This is how the world was
Not long after, Mu Heng followed Luo Yunjin to the Daozang Palace, looking at the Daozang Hall with the smell of books, a strong literary and artistic atmosphere rushed to his face, and Mu Heng had a feeling of coming to the university library in his previous life. Xueba has a natural sense of belonging to the library, and this is the starting point of his own spiritual path.
Holding Ye Qingyin's jade plate, Mu Heng smoothly entered the Daozang Palace, and the hall keeper at the door just looked at him strangely.
With Luo Yunjin as a qualified guide, Mu Heng quickly understood the situation of the Daozang Palace.
This Tibetan hall is divided into five floors, and the lowest level contains books from the Xiuzhen world, involving astronomy and geography, humanities and history, etc.;
The second to fifth floors are stored from top to bottom respectively in the four levels of cultivation exercises of heaven, earth, Xuan and Huang, as well as the cultivation experience of the ancestors, which are no longer paper books, there are jade talismans, divine thoughts, and gold inscriptions, and there are many types, and so on.
The strangeness of this world made Mu Heng have a heavy psychological burden in his heart, which was an instinctive fear of the unknown.
"Let's understand the most basic knowledge first, at least know what the world is like." After making up his mind, Mu Heng selected more than a dozen geography books from the bookshelf. I found a table and chair, and began to study.
Luo Yunjin, who was standing next to him, watched Mu Heng stand still for a long time, and quickly picked up a few books from the mortal world on the first floor, and wondered in his heart: What is so good about the books in the mortal world, is the exercise upstairs so devoid of new gravity?
"Yunjin girl, I wonder if there is any pen and paper here?" The high school geography teacher taught me not to read without pen and ink, and I couldn't read without taking some notes. Good habits developed in previous lives can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of reading.
"Oh yes, you wait." After a while, I didn't know where to copy the four treasures of the study and put them on the table in a regular manner.
Mu Heng looked at the long brush, and was speechless in his heart: I forgot that this is not modern, and there is no hard pen yet. I didn't learn calligraphy in my previous life, so it didn't work well with a brush. Forget it, just make do with it, and just go back and make charcoal.
Luo Yunjin saw that Mu Heng's expression was strange, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he was embarrassed to stare at others, so he also moved to the bookshelf on the side, took the book casually, and read it.
Mu Heng opened the book and began to study. At this moment, it was as if I had returned to my college days, and I spent my days in the library every day except for classes, which was stable and fulfilling.
From the book, Mu Heng learned that the environment here is not much different from that on the earth. Mu Heng knew that this was the way it should be, because the environment that could be suitable for human survival was very harsh. The climate, season, gravitational acceleration, and nitrogen and oxygen content in the air are also similar to the earth, and Mu Heng can feel that he does not feel that his steps have become lighter or heavier here, and there is not much difference when he breathes.
From another book, Mu Heng learned that in addition to the human race, there are also sea tribes, witch races, demon races, and corpse soul tribes in this world, and human beings are like the protagonists of this world, occupying the most central area of the entire world, called the Central Plains.
The Sea Clan lives in the Sea of Miracles to the east of the Terrans, the Corpse Soul Clan is located in the Xuanji Ice Domain on the north side of the Central Plains, the Demon Clan occupies the Hundred Broken Mountains on the west side of the Central Plains, and the remaining wild wilderness on the south side is the gathering place of the Wu Clan.
According to the introduction in the book, Mu Heng roughly drew a map of the distribution of forces on paper. "The races in this world are really strange, the human race here is not like the human race on the earth, it has an absolute dominance, and it is inevitable that the races will not be at peace with each other."
Huge differences in values, worldviews, trends in interests, and other contradictions can stimulate struggles between races.
Unlike Mu Heng, who was buried in the ocean of knowledge, Luo Yunjin, who was holding a book in his hand not far away, did not have a mind on the book, and a curiosity was all poured into Mu Heng.
Luo Yunjin had a lot of messy thoughts in his heart: I didn't pay attention just now, he said that his senior sister brought him back, who is he? Why a man? He came to my Yuqing Xingzhai to do something, and the sect does not accept male disciples.
And this person is so strange, he doesn't read the cultivation exercises, but he takes the books of the mortal world so seriously!
One after another, doubts were like kittens in her heart, tickling her heart.
However, watching Mu Heng concentrate on studying the books in his hand, occasionally writing and drawing on the paper, and frowning from time to time, Luo Yunjin could clearly feel his concentration.
Although he was unkempt, the robe on his body didn't fit very well: "Hey, why does this robe look so familiar, isn't this the previous robe of the senior sister?" Luo Yunjin's mind flashed the figure from a long time ago, as if he had discovered a new continent, and discovered the secret of his senior sister and him.
In her cognition, the senior sister has never been interested in men, and even ordinary men can't get a word from the senior sister. And the man in front of him called Mu Heng was wearing the robe of his senior sister and swaggering through the market.
"I must find out, but I can't let him coax my senior sister." Luo Yunjin, who had made up her mind, quickly buried her face in the book, as if she was wary of Mu Heng discovering what she was thinking.
Mu Heng changed another book, mainly to introduce the cultivation of the human world. I have already learned from Ye Qingyin that in addition to the Yuqing Xingzhai where I am located, there are also two other righteous sects, namely the Shangqing Sect and the Taiqing Dao Palace.
Looking at the names of the three righteous sects, Mu Heng will always think of the Sanqing Daoist in his previous life, maybe there is a saying about Sanqing in different worlds, but the form of expression is different.
However, these three gates should theoretically be an alliance, but don't fight all year round like the god list.
In addition to the righteous path, the human race's cultivation forces inevitably also have the existence of the Demon Dao, and this demon sect called the Infinite Demon Cloud Sect is the only demon sect in this world.
The right path and the devil's path are incompatible. The Demon Sect can still live well under the pressure of the three righteous path sects, or it is huge in power and superior in strength. Either the hearts of the three sects are not aligned, each has its own thoughts, and cannot gather strength.
The Three Sects and the Demon Sect are the pinnacle of the strength of the human world, and they are also the pinnacle of power. The history of the human race is not as developed as that of human civilization on the earth, and under the influence of cultivation, the splendor of the human culture is far less than that of the earth.
I have to say that human civilization needs motivation if it wants to move forward, and the human beings in the Xiuzhen world are too well protected, and the pace of social progress is very slow.
The recorded history has been nearly 10,000 years, which is much longer than the duration of our Chinese civilization, but unfortunately it is not a level in terms of quality.
Sensing that the ink on the tip of the pen had faded, Mu Heng raised his eyes and found that Luo Yunjin had been leaning against the desk for some time, and the movements in his hands were obviously helping him polish the ink.
Next to the beauty chair table, show your hands and knead green cakes. This scene is deeply imprinted on Mu Heng's heart, and the ancients said that red sleeves add fragrance, nothing more than that.
Mu Heng, who is in a foreign country, is like a rootless duckweed, only feeling a little warmth, he can weaken his fear of this unknown world a lot.
"Thank you!"
Not only was he thinking about how to explore the secrets of Mu Heng and his senior sister, but he was also curious about what Mu Heng was studying, and he didn't even know when he was so close to him. I just noticed the inkstone that was about to dry, and unconsciously helped him sharpen the ink.
The face with a gentle smile at the source of this thank you is not very handsome, but it is also not lacking in fortitude and tenderness, and Luo Yunjin's heart is beating straight when he sees it.
"It's so late, I have to go back." Mu Heng looked up and saw that it was getting late outside the window, so he waited for tomorrow to continue.
I had a meal before going out in the morning, and I was only interested in studying, and I was a little hungry by this time. However, if you carefully experience this feeling of hunger, it is not very obvious, and the rice in the bamboo basket must not be ordinary, and it is more anti-hunger.
"That's leaving?" Luo Yunjin didn't react for a while.
"Well, I have to go back to cooking and eating, by the way, can you trouble the girl." Mu Heng explained a little, thinking that he didn't know the way back.
"What's the matter?" Luo Yunjin also wanted to follow him, trying to dig out his relationship with the Holy Maiden.
"Can you trouble the girl to send me back, I don't know the way."
"No problem, where do you live?" This happened to follow Luo Yunjin's wishes, so he readily agreed.
"I don't know the specifics, it's just that there is only one bamboo building and that peak." Mu Heng could only describe the general situation of the bamboo building, hoping that she knew where it was, otherwise she would have to go to Ye Qingyin.
"Bamboo Building? That's Master's Bamboo Tower, where do you live? Luo Yunjin was taken aback by Mu Heng's description, the senior sister actually gave the bamboo building to this man to live in, and the relationship between the two seemed to be closer than she guessed.
"Your master?" Mu Heng was also surprised, wasn't that Ye Qingyin's master, how could she become Luo Yunjin's master again, no wonder she called Senior Sister Ye Qingyin, she thought that the sect was commensurate with her sisters, and it turned out to be her own senior sister.
"Well, Senior Brother Mu Heng come with me, and we'll talk as we go." Luo Yunjin felt that the relationship between Mu Heng and his senior sister was not ordinary, and he didn't seem to regard Mu Heng as an outsider, and when he saw that he seemed to be older than himself, he called him a senior brother.
Mu Heng and Luo Yunjin walked back to the bamboo building together, and they also remembered the route they had taken, otherwise they would not be able to find their way to the Daozang Hall tomorrow.
The exchange on the road also made Mu Heng understand that Ye Qingyin and Luo Yunjin have a very good relationship, and the master of the two of them is the protector of Yuqing Xingzhai.
"Senior Sister Yunjin, have you been on this mountain since you were a child?"
"No, I have been an orphan since I was a child, and when I was six years old, I was brought to the mountain by my master, and my master and sister are my closest people." Luo Yunjin exuded a little sadness.
Mu Heng saw that she remembered the sad thing, and he also regretted asking her this question, and comforted: "Senior Sister Yunjin, you are happy, at least you still have Master and Senior Sister, the most miserable person in the world is in front of you now." ”
"Senior brother, your comfort is really special, others comfort me and say that I still have master, sister, and friends, but you say that you are worse than me, so I don't believe you." Luo Yunjin stuck out his little tongue and said with a coquettish smile.
"Haha, don't believe it. However, I am experiencing something that some people dare not think of in their lifetimes, and even if I die now, I have the capital to brag. It's a little miserable, it doesn't matter. Mu Heng thought about the experience of the past two days, helpless and exciting, and ambivalent.
