Chapter 375: Library Pavilion, Ascending the Tower
Jiang Chen saw the two of them standing side by side, and an indescribable feeling flooded in his heart.
"Chen Gongzi, you go and choose a book first, I'll go over in a while." Lin Xi looked at Jiang Chen intently and said.
Chen Yu swept back and forth on the faces of the two of them suspiciously, revealing a thoughtful expression, and didn't ask much, nodded and walked away.
Lin Xi and Jiang Chen's eyes were glued together for a while, and suspicion flashed in Xiao Lingmeng's eyes, she caught the expressions on the faces of these two people, thinking to herself that the playboy had also attacked the eldest lady of the Lin family?
"You ......" Lin Xi's lips trembled, and the words came to his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... I'm a little ......"
Her heart fluctuated, and it was hard to put into words. If it was really that person, she thought that she would never see each other again in her life, but she didn't expect to meet again here.
Compared to Lin Xi, although Jiang Chen also had mixed feelings in his heart, the expression on his face was much calmer. He secretly thought that since Lin Xi already had another person by his side, his existence would be even more unnecessary.
Xiao Ling dreamed that she was so excited that she couldn't speak, and even more suspected that these two people had a leg.
Lin Xi was still in the period of Ai Ai, and Xiao Lingmeng couldn't help but ask, "Miss Lin, do you know him?" ”
Lin Xi was taken aback, and then he noticed that there was another girl beside Jiang Chen, and he also knew that it was Xiao Lingmeng, who was the eldest prince of He who was pursuing and couldn't get it. Just now on the road, I heard Xiao Lingmeng's gossip, saying that she had fallen in love with her cousin, could it be the person in front of her?
Lin Xi's heart was astringent, and he didn't know what it was like to be in an instant. She suddenly changed to another kind of expectation, preferring that the person in front of her was not the one she imagined.
Based on this mood, she was finally able to say a complete sentence fluently: "I...... Have we seen this before? ”
Jiang Chen shook his head.
Lin Xi's mood was low and relieved. She bowed slightly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it turned out that I recognized the wrong person, I'm really embarrassed." ”
"It's okay." Jiang Chen deliberately lowered his voice and replied in a hoarse and dull voice.
This is not at all like his usual voice, Xiao Lingmeng next to him heard it in his ears, and his suspicion became even heavier.
Lin Xi nodded, showed a smile, and then said goodbye.
Jiang Chen looked at her slender back and recalled Lin Xi's smile, transparent and fragile, which always made Jiang Chen feel that smile was very reluctant, like a bubble, which burst when poked.
After standing silent for a moment, Xiao Lingmeng suddenly asked, "Do you know each other?" ”
"I don't know."
"Really?" Xiao Lingmeng tilted his head with an expression of obvious disbelief.
Jiang Chen said lightly: "With her beauty, if she meets the Cherished Playboy, can she still be as safe and sound as she is now?" ”
"Also to ......" Xiao Lingmeng's suspicions did not disappear, but he didn't ask anymore.
Walking into the inner room, there are rows of books neatly placed on the shelves.
Seeing the vast sea of books, Jiang Chen felt a burst of excitement in his heart, stepped forward in three or two steps, glanced at the bookshelves in the first row, and the excitement quickly cooled - Xiao Lingmeng didn't lie, most of the books placed in the pavilion on this floor were stalls, and some were weird talks, geographical chronicles, medical books, biographies, etc., which had nothing to do with what he wanted.
After a while, Jiang Chen walked around the pavilion and didn't find anything of value at all. He deliberately took a few steps closer to the staircase leading to the second floor, but was forced back by two guards with cold eyes.
"I'm not wrong, there's nothing you want here!" Xiao Lingmeng followed behind him and whispered.
"Hmm."
"Even if there were really one or two good books, they must have been borrowed a long time ago, you must have died of this heart."
"Hmm."
"So we'll go back now?"
"Don't rush, turn around."
Jiang Chen didn't show a disappointed expression on his face, because he was already mentally prepared for this.
He walked from bookcase to bookcase, his eyes wandering through the books, stopping occasionally to pick up a book and pretend to flip through it, but in fact to look at the architecture and prepare for his next visit.
He casually opened the page of the book in his hand, leaned against the shelf, closed his eyes slightly, showed a thoughtful expression, and secretly unfolded his thoughts, slowly extending to the staircase, to the second floor, and even higher.
From low to high, the layout of the library gradually unfolded in his mind-
There were four or five guards guarding the second floor, but none of them were very advanced, and a little attention could avoid their eyes and ears.
There is only one person on the third floor, who breathes a long breath and has a deep vein, and is a master with sharp ears and eyes, so he needs to deal with it carefully.
There are three people on the fourth floor, and the cultivation is even more profound. But they seem to be immersed in reading and practicing separately, and with a little caution, they may be easier to cope with than the third level.
Fifth Floor ...... Due to the distance, Jiang Chen was worried about alarming the prohibition and the like, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and carefully explored the divine thoughts, so that he could faintly detect a vague aura. This is a real master! You have to play up the spirit of twelve, supplemented by spatial supernatural powers, to have any hope of passing under his nose!
6th Floor ......
Jiang Chen's arm was suddenly shaken, and Xiao Lingmeng's voice sounded: "What are you looking at, why are you asleep?" ”
The "......" divine thought was instantly withdrawn, and Jiang Chen's eyebrows were slightly swollen due to the contraction being too violent.
He rubbed Yin Tang, raised his eyelids and said, "I'm thinking!" It's a shame to learn without thinking, you know? ”
"What book makes you think so deeply?" Xiao Lingmeng looked down, "It's all missing pages, which ghost who lacks virtue tore this page!" ”
She recognized the title of the book and read it word by word: "Lin, Tai, Jun, Secret History?" ”
At this time, I already vaguely felt that something was wrong, five hundred years ago, the Lin family was in full swing, led by the heroine Lin Taijun, who suppressed the royal family, Lin Taijun was undoubtedly the first person in the world at that time, and even had the title of "empress". Some of her glamorous and charming love history is naturally widely spread in the market.
Helpless and curious, Xiao Lingmeng tilted his head, leaned over and read a few more lines, and after looking closely, he couldn't help blushing and heartbeating, his pink cheeks were flushed, and he hurriedly looked away, and said angrily: "You think about these all day long?" ”
Jiang Chen looked down, coughed dryly, and said, "I took it wrong." "Quickly close the book and put it back in its place.
Xiao Ling dreamed that he was still looking around, so he urged: "Are you okay?" I'm going to listen to Mr. Xu's lecture in a while, or I'll come back next time! ”
"What class? Can I sit in on the hearing? ”
"No, you can't! Mr. Xu doesn't like ungifted students, and he hates strangers who are an eyesore. ”
"Sounds like a self-righteous old guy. Hmph, I'm too lazy to see him. Where are we going to sleep tonight? ”
"What?"
"Where are we sleeping tonight?"
"Where do we sleep?" Xiao Lingmeng bit the first two words.
Jiang Chen nodded as a matter of course: "If you sleep in your boudoir, you will be embarrassed if you are seen by the servants, it is best to go to your library, where the environment is also clean." ”
"You want to sleep with me?" Xiao Lingmeng's willow eyebrows were upside down.
"Of course, or I'm sleeping on the streets?"
'This disciple ......' Xiao Lingmeng showed an anxious and angry expression, didn't this guy say that he wouldn't do anything to me?
Jiang Chen looked at the series of changes in expression on her face, and only smiled lightly when she was almost out of shape: "Teasing you!" Just clean up my room. ”
A big stone fell in Xiao Lingmeng's heart, but his anger was even stronger, so he stomped his foot angrily, turned his head and left.
"You go to the class first, I'll look for you later, and we'll go back together in the evening." Jiang Chen shouted at her back.
Xiao Lingmeng's figure was stunned, he turned around, and said with an ugly face: "Did you apply a tracking potion to me?" ”
Jiang Chen thought for a moment before he understood her concern, and couldn't help but shake his head: "If you want to find an outstanding beauty like you, do you still need to track down the potion?" ”
Xiao Lingmeng took a deep look at him and turned around to leave.
After Xiao Lingmeng left, Jiang Chen began to climb the stairs. Consciously or unconsciously, he approached the stairs.
The path to the second level is simple.
Jiang Chen waited for a while, and then a student stepped forward with a waist card. While the two guards looked down to check his identity badge, Jiang Chen stepped on the bookshelf, volleyed a little, his body floated as if it had no weight, and quietly swept over their heads, and then stepped on the wall in mid-air, turned halfway, and shot into the railing of the second layer like a wisp of smoke.
To go up one level, you have to go through a long corridor to the staircase opposite.
The second layer is guarded by four or five elite warriors, their eyes are sharp, and their patrol routes are carefully designed, and it is difficult to find the blind spots in the line of sight in a short time.
Jiang Chen definitely didn't have the patience to spend half a day on this layer with a few miscellaneous soldiers, waiting for them to relax.
If there is no opportunity, it will be created.
He hid in the shadows under the railing, looked inside for a moment, and behind him came the footsteps of the student on the first floor, getting closer and closer.
"Wow, wow, wow......"
Messing around behind this man?
Jiang Chen glanced back, and this thought was immediately extinguished.
The student was so thin that if he wanted to hide behind his figure, he would have to bend down, bend down, and shrink his limbs, which would be really troublesome. Jiang Chen didn't mean that he couldn't do it, but he didn't want to suffer this grievance.
Come on, do it yourself!
When the skinny student climbed to the second floor and walked into the corridor, Jiang Chen also made a move at this time.
He held a pebble in his hand and flicked it gently. The stones made a graceful arc and shot out with drifters.
From the staircase to the other end of the corridor, invisible ripples ripple in the space, connecting into a string!
All movement was converged at the junction of the Void Fulcrum, not even a trace of wind was raised, until the end was reached, there was only an imperceptible sound - a stone hitting the mouth of a vase on the bookcase.
Jiang Chen had an excellent grasp of the strength, and the vase staggered, wanting to fall on the bookcase, and rolled half a circle, and it was about to slide to the edge of the table.
Several guards had already discovered this scene, but they all felt that the vase should eventually stand stable and should not fall. They are good at martial arts, and they are all confident in their vision.
They guessed right.
If the table is larger, the vase should be able to stand up again after shaking it for another half a circle.
It's a pity that the table wasn't big enough. The vase will eventually fall.
The faces of several of the guards changed in an instant. The vase was worth a lot of money.
One of the nearest guards hurried over to stop it. He ran so fast that he almost hit his head against the wall. Another guard also came running from the opposite side, and the two of them were in a hurry, and finally caught the precious and fragile thing and placed it in its place.
The embarrassed appearance of the two made several companions laugh.
But they were all vigilant warriors, and when they came back to their senses, they realized the strangeness of the whole incident.
"Was the wind blowing just now?"
"The windows are closed, where is the wind?"
"If there is no wind, how can a vase fall for no reason?"
When they were talking, Jiang Chen had already walked through the corridor and ascended the stairs on the third floor.
"I have a feeling that there was a gust of wind just now."
"I feel it too, the cold ...... behind my back"
Several guards looked at the closed window lattice, and they couldn't help but become suspicious.
At this time, Jiang Chen had already rushed up the stairs and came to a quiet room.
There is only one person at this level, and the figure should be an old man, who is holding a book and dancing with his hands, and has words in his mouth. Jiang Chen didn't want to alarm him, so he observed it from a distance, guessing that this person at least had Xuangang's cultivation, so he became more and more cautious.
While the old man staggered and turned his back, Jiang Chen flashed into a bookshelf and tiptoed forward.
Separated by three bookshelves, he paid attention to the old man's breath, waiting for him to hum to the left, and then slowly moved. It took a long time to insert it behind the second shelf.
"Come out, the old man smells you!" The old man said suddenly.
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, Ben Shaoxia's light steps, magic-like light skills, and unpredictable breathing method were actually discovered? Is this old guy's perception so keen?
"Tsk! It smells so good! The old man snorted and walked over quickly, "Could it be a female thief?" ”
Jiang Chen only thought at this time that he had been by Xiao Lingmeng's side for most of the day, and naturally he was also stained with a little body fragrance from her. However, this fragrance is faint and indistinct, even Jiang Chen himself didn't pay attention to it, this old man can actually smell it with a sniff, and his sense of smell seems to be far beyond ordinary people!
Since he was discovered, Jiang Chen simply walked out by himself and said to the old man: "Senior, your nose is simply smarter than a dog!" ”
"The little guy is really rude, can the dog's nose compare to me?" He scratched his shoulders and said, "You came here with such a scent, did you just get along with a girl?" Tsk, I rushed over to steal books without taking a break, and young people are quite studious nowadays......"
Jiang Chen said: "For the sake of me being so studious, can you think that you didn't see me, senior?" ”
The old man shook his gray hair: "No, if you see it, you see it, how can you treat it as if you didn't see it?" ”
He stared at Jiang Chen, looked at him like a cargo for a long time, touched the white beard on his chin and said, "However, no one has dared to sneak in for a long time, and you are also a bold one." In this way, let the old man try your catties, as long as you can pass under my hands, I will let you go to the next floor! ”
Jiang Chen thought to himself that this old man's brain was not normal, if I passed under your hands, do I still need you to let it go?
Thinking like this, he was not slow at his feet, and a smile appeared on his face: "Seniors have to talk about it." ”
