The Imperial Palace, the Pavilion of the Scriptures.

Lin Xiaoyi walked softly and slowly, on her side, Gu Dan did not seem to have any sense of crampedness, and her curious eyes couldn't help but look at this vast sea of books.

The bookcases made of the finest wood here are like huge waves stacked on top of each other, and the waves are one after another of books and bamboo slips, with no end in sight.

The wealth and knowledge of the world have been converging here for more than two hundred years, and finally condensed into this vast sea of books with no end in sight.

Even if you exhaust the life of ordinary people, it is difficult to take a cursory look at this vast sea of classics and the hard work of countless generations.

The faint scent of ink fills the tip of the nose, and the quiet book will not make any sound, only the corner of the scorched yellow of the years, across the river of time, is greeting future generations.

Walking into the great wave of knowledge, it is inevitable that people feel the passage of time and the insignificance of individuals, and how many people can leave a book and a half, or even simply leave a name?

The royal power and wealth, personal honor and disgrace, fame and fortune are mixed, and among these classics, they are all like the past.

Parasitic mayflies in the heavens and the earth, a drop in the sea, nothing more than this.

"It's a good place."

Even Gu Dan, who has a lot of opinions about this era, can't help but nod slightly and praise that these classics are well protected here.

"Good place, come early."

A chorus sounded from a distance, and in the blink of an eye, footsteps came not far in front of him.

An old man with a white beard and a thin body stood in front of him.

Gu Dan looked at him carefully.

Judging from the appearance alone, it is not at all clear that this is a martial arts master who has survived three generations of emperors, but is more like an old farmer who has suffered in the countryside for many years.

His face was wrinkled, like furrows stacked on top of each other, old age spots had taken up half of his cheeks, his eyes were yellow and fading, lacking a vitality and spirituality, and his rough skin was the color of sorghum that had been trampled a few times after being exposed to the sun, with an almost muddy yellow.

Even the white hair and white beard are not the white color of the moon that the big moon reveres, on the contrary, it is a gray and white color that has no strength left after the oil runs out and the lamp is dry, and the rough hair falls down indifferently, and some even knotted, like the free-growing vines in the mountains and fields are intertwined with each other, which is neither beautiful nor beautiful.

Gu Dan looked at him, and he was also looking at Gu Dan, the youngest martial arts master in history, incredibly young as far as he knew.

Judging from the appearance alone, Gu Dan's appearance is even younger than his age, the martial arts master plus the medical master, properly maintained, and the aging is very slow, and the age of thirty or forty years old is placed in the group of martial arts masters, it can be said that it is not true.

The eyebrows are upright, the instrument is lofty, handsome and extraordinary, and the ink-colored eyes are calm and powerful, although they are not obvious, but they reveal the power that makes people feel stable. The supple black hair is draped down, thick black like night, full of youthful vitality and vitality, and the back is straight, although there is no heart of Lingyun, it has the meaning of Lingyun.

The sturdy body only needs to be decorated with a plain green robe, and what is buried is the power that seems to be a temporary volcano silence.

One old and one strong, all are grandmasters.

It's better than that, standing in front of each other's eyes always makes people feel too real and cause discomfort.

A look of surprise appeared in Gu Dan's eyes, he didn't expect the Grandmaster in the Great Moon Palace to be like this.

"Let the little friend smile, the old man is too old, and he neglects to take care of it, and he doesn't dare to go out to see people on weekdays, and he doesn't care about his worldly appearance for a long time."

Ji Lao sensed Gu Dan's surprise, half self-harm, half teasingly said.

Such an opening statement is neither too formal, nor aggressive, with a bit of old disrespect and a world-penetrating mentality, not to mention that it makes people feel like a spring breeze, at least not to raise hostility.

It is said that one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, but in the face of the burden of coming to his territory, Ji Lao can be said to be very face-saving, and he has no wild appearance when he said that he would accept him as a disciple that day.

The Grandmaster must not be disgraced!

It's okay to mention it behind your back before, if you really want to say that kind of thing to your face, I'm afraid that you will have to distinguish the winner and loser, and it's really not necessary.

"The old-timers are free and wanton, and they are no longer bound by the rules, which is admirable."

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Ji Lao gives face like this, and Gu Dan has never belittled him, he is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of his tongue, and he can talk calmly, that's the best.

Ji Lao waved his hand, signaling Lin Xiaoyi to leave first, then turned around and exposed his back to Gu Dan without any psychological burden, and said casually: "Let's go together?" ”

"Yes."

Gu Dan was fearless, and nodded in agreement.

The two of them walked slowly in the jungle of books in rows after rows, and one by one the secret books that were of great value in the outside world, and even those that might have been lost, crossed in front of them.

There are books with a strong ink fragrance that were printed not long ago, ancient and simple bamboo slips with inscriptions, dense small characters written on palm-sized jade, and even crude stone tablets that have been worn away by the wind and sun

Walking here is like walking in the long river of time, thousands of books silently engrave the appearance of the years, leaving traces of the existence of predecessors.

"What did Xiaoyou see?"

Ji Lao, who was walking in front, suddenly asked.

"Books." Gu Dan said.

Ji Lao asked again, "Only books?" ”

"Aren't books enough?" Gu Dan replied again.

Ji Lao's pace slowed down a lot again, and he picked up a jade plate from the bookshelf, on which hundreds of small characters were carved, and he said: "Xiaoyou is not sincere enough. ”

"Isn't it honest enough, or is it not what you want to hear?" Gu Dan asked rhetorically.

"Hana is not as honest as we are all sincere, Xiaoyou has seen so many books, is it really only books?" Ji Lao's shriveled fingers swiped over the smooth handwriting of the jade plate, and asked again.

"Isn't this a book?"

Gu Dan looked around, "Gather the countless collections of books in the world, but put them on a show." Win the hearts of tens of millions of people with the heart of one person, and take the privacy of tens of millions of people with the selfishness of one person, but refuse to make the best use of it, what can you do in vain? Is it possible that I should praise his majesty and strategy, and take the world's books into the private library? ”

"Oh?"

Ji Lao's eyes lit up, Gu Dan's answer made him very interested, put down the jade plate in his hand, and said with some excitement: "Different people come here, and they always have different opinions. I've seen Zhuangyuanlang, I've seen the grandson of the Dragon Emperor, I've seen the emperors before I ascended the throne, and even other martial arts masters.

Different people come here with different feelings. Either shocked by the richness of the collection, or shocked by the subtlety of the classics, or like the tranquility of this place, which is independent from the outside and unstained with dust. Only Xiaoyou said this opinion for the first time, which is refreshing. ”

He continued to walk forward, "according to the opinions of different people, it is enough to see the expectations and ideals in their hearts. Xiaoyou feels that his library can't make the best use of things, so he should have the heart to work hard all day. Why is the past dull and almost inactive? In addition to curing diseases and saving people, there is nothing worth paying attention to! ”

A martial arts master appeared under the eyes of the imperial capital, and it was a martial arts master with traces, and the information about Gu Dan had already gathered to him, and all the details that could be found were about to be turned over.

However, from that information, it was completely impossible to see what such a young martial arts master was thinking in his heart.

Even in addition to the fact that there was a major event that happened to the former Emperor Cidan, if it wasn't for the implication of Moqiu killing the emperor, I don't know how long it would have been hidden.

I've seen something unique, but I've never seen anything so unique!

It's a puppet mud tire, after more than ten years of wind and rain, it's time to make some movement, right?

It's really hard to guess, it's hard to guess!

"All day? How long does it take to restructure? The Taizu of the founding of the Great Moon did not come from suffering. More than two hundred years later, could he have imagined that his children and grandchildren had brought Otsuki to such a place? Gu Dan said expressionlessly and mercilessly.

That's not true. Is there anything in this world that is immortal and immortal? The same is true of a country. The pine tree will eventually decay for a thousand years, and the hibiscus flower will be proud of itself for a day! ”

Ji Lao returned to his recliner and found a comfortable position to lie down, "Xiaoyou is so young, how can he be more twilight than my thoughts as a bad old man?" ”

Gu Dan did not continue to answer.

Because he really can live forever.

For the time that ordinary people can't cross at all, coming to him is nothing.

So much so that he can't think like an ordinary person with a lot of questions.

I didn't have the ability before, and it was good to be able to sweep the snow in front of the door, so where could I manage the frost on the tiles of others? Now that he has the strength, he is not without a heart that is ready to move.

But he knew that all his efforts would inevitably lead to a dead end in the end, and the torture of sober cognition and reality would eventually make it difficult for people to be happy and unable to make up their minds.

In addition, there is indeed an immortal law in this world, and the immortals don't care about it, he is nosy, I'm afraid he doesn't know how to write dead words!

What really made him feel uneasy, and even never moved, was not the imperial power that was regarded as a piece of ruin, but the immortal who was always hidden, but there were traces left.

He has a big secret in his body, and if he doesn't understand the reason behind it, everything must be safe, even if he can't see it, he doesn't have to rush for a while.

These hidden worries are not known to outsiders, even if they confide a little, I am afraid that they will say that he is worried about the sky, so why talk about it.

It's just that being pestered and asked back and forth like this makes people unhappy after all, so Gu Dan also asked: "The old-timers have gone through three dynasties, and I have watched Dayue step by step into the quagmire and is about to collapse, and I don't know how to feel?" ”

Faced with this tricky question, Ji Lao said with an unchanged face: "I'm already old, and these are no longer things I need to care about." Future generations can't walk their own way, do you want me to keep supporting me? I'm more than 100 years old now, and I'm about to die. These problems will be left to future generations to solve by themselves. ”

"I don't know, what are the old-timers still concerned about at the age when they are dying?"

Gu Dan looked at him, the two seemed to have switched roles, and now it was his turn to ask questions one after another.

"I don't care about the world anymore, and there is only one problem that still bothers me." Ji Lao raised his head, and the eyes that were inevitably a little stunned because of the dimness of the yellow actually burst out with a light that was enough to make people look sideways, "In this world, above the grandmaster, is there an innate realm?" ”

Gu Dan was slightly stunned.

Unexpectedly, he was at this age, and he was still thinking about these things.

"Before you came here, there should have been another martial arts master in the palace who was young and strong enough to guard the Great Moon for decades. But some time ago, in that stinging rain, he died. ”

Ji Lao said to himself, "Back then, I led him here as if I led you. At that time, he said that what he saw was a power that was overwhelming, an incomparable power. If you can't command the world, can An Neng gather a collection of books that can be read inexhaustibly in this life? ”

"A Grandmaster is dead?"

Gu Dan didn't know the news, no grandmaster was a cabbage, enough to dominate the side, how could he die in obscurity and quietly?

"On that rainy night, he tried to attack the realm above the grandmaster, and died in front of me." Ji Lao didn't have any hidden thoughts at all, and said directly, "The old man died miserably, his heart was broken, his internal organs were burned, and even his blood dried up in the end." ”

"Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"

Gu Dan seemed to understand why Ji Lao had to see him, and even wanted to take him as an apprentice.

"Because you're young, very young. Far younger than any martial arts master! "Ji Lao's eyes are blazing, where is there still half a point of old age?

Staring at Gu Dan's gaze was like looking at a treasure that was unparalleled in the world, and he said conclusively: "If there really is a realm above the Grandmaster in this world, the person who is most likely to reach it is you!" ”

Show one’s true colors in the end!

The initial temptation has ended, the bait has been thrown, and Ji Lao finally said his true plan.

It's true that a grandmaster doesn't need to worship another grandmaster, but what if it's for another higher realm?

"I've also heard the story of the martial arts innate, but it's in the script."

Gu Dan stared at the extremely excited Ji Lao, and said after considering his words: "If you just want to talk about this matter when you see me, then forget it!" ”

He is alive and well, he has only been a martial arts master for less than a year, and he is far from the point where he can't think about death!

Even if you really have that kind of realm, you should slowly polish yourself, and it will come naturally, so what's the hurry?

"Don't say no so early."

Ji Lao seemed to have guessed Gu Dan's reaction a long time ago, and said without hesitation: "I have enough evidence here!" ”
