Su Wen, who was originally scheduled to only learn the characters of the demon and demon clans today, immediately decided that he might as well stay in the library for some more time after discovering that this task was so much easier than he imagined.

Walking to the bookshelf with all kinds of war documents, Su Wen was a little excited and a little stunned.

Bai Jianqiu and Lu Sanjiao have emphasized to him more than once that the study of war literature is not so simple, because it does not rely on simple memorization, but understanding.

Just like since Su Wen learned "Minus the Word Magnolia" from the mysterious mouth, although he has helped him through the difficulties of life and death countless times, even now, he can only inspire the power of one-twelfth of this battle word.

At the beginning, in the city lord's mansion, between the word mysterious man, he almost put Yin Wuxian, who had the position of attendant, to death, how terrifying was his combat power?

And today's Su Wen is still far from that realm, not only because of the gap between the two scholars, but also because of the difference in the depth of the two people's perception of this battle word.

But even so, being able to master a large number of war texts is definitely only good for Su Wen.

If you don't have enough understanding, you can rely on the accumulation of time and the experience of actual combat experience, but if you haven't even seen the war text, how can you talk about understanding?

After settling down, Su Wen took a deep breath and pulled out the first scroll in this column of bookshelves.

It was slowly unfolded, and the sword light and sword shadow fell into Su Wen's eyes.

The battle texts here have all been concealed by people to kill the meaning of killing, and they will not be as concrete as the killing wolf painted by Bai Jianqiu, so Su Wen was not injured by the sword in the painting. But Rao was like this, and he still felt that the moment the scroll opened, his mind vibrated violently.

The fighting spirit is strong!

I only looked at the time of counting the breath. After Su Wen made sure that he had memorized every detail of the entire painting, he immediately closed the scroll, and suddenly felt that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

"It seems that this war text is not only not so easy to learn, but also not so good-looking!"

With a gentle breath of turbidity, Su Wen quickly cleaned up his mood and put the album back in its place, without wasting time to rest and breathe. Then he picked up the second war document again.

There are many types of war texts collected in the library of the academy, including the most common war poems and battle words, as well as special war flowers and battle talismans. Of course, what Su Wen chooses to watch is closely related to his position.

What surprised him the most was the only way to play chess. Say. Falling stars.

When he encountered Xu Yu and others in the suburbs of Huizhou that day, Zuo Ling's skill in using chess pieces as hidden weapons impressed Su Wen, and now he has a more intuitive understanding of the deep meaning.

However, it is a pity that among them, there is no inclusion of the stars used by Zuo Ling at that time.

It is no wonder that there are very few people who defend the country and practice chess, as a patriotic academy. The collection of chess and war texts here is relatively rare compared to others. It's also a reasonable thing.

Although there were some regrets, Su Wen was not too frustrated, after all, something is better than nothing, and at the same time, Su Wen also secretly decided that if there was some time left in the future, he would still have to choose two chess books on the first floor to take a look.

After settling down, Su Wen solemnly turned the first page of "Falling Stars".

......

When Su Wen was reciting the methods of various texts and Taoist war texts in the library pavilion, Su Yu carried the pine flower cake and a pot of herbal tea that Su Wen had prepared for her, walked out of the house, and came to the medicine garden outside.

In the medicine garden, Hetu was still diligently tending to the small seedlings, looking extremely focused, as if this was the most important thing in his life.

Because of his focus on medicinal herbs, Hetu is not interested in anything else, such as the old man who has been standing by the garden for a long time.

From beginning to end, Hetu never cast a wisp of light at the old man, or even if he inadvertently discovered the old man's existence, he chose to turn a blind eye.

In Hetu's eyes, there is nothing more important than watering herbs to remove insects.

Fortunately, the old man did not step on any of the seedlings at the edge of the garden, nor did he break the fence between the medicine gardens, he just stood so quietly under the scorching sun, looking up at the dormitory of the Baicao Temple.

Maybe there are many people in the entire Hongming Academy who have heard of the old man's name, but very few have actually seen him in person, so Hetu doesn't know who this old man is.

He didn't even know that the old man had set his sights on the Hundred Herbs Courtyard as early as the morning a day ago, of course, at that time, what he was concerned about was not the herbs in the medicine garden, but the ordinary dormitory outside the garden.

Ever since he saw it, the old man could no longer erase the qiē from his eyes.

So he spent a whole day and a night thinking about whether he wanted to come, whether he wanted to meet the man in the dormitory of the Hundred Herbs.

Spending so much time just thinking about such a trivial matter is an incredible thing for an old man. In other words, time is so precious and scarce for the old man, it is really understandable that he is willing to waste it on this matter.

But fortunately, the old man still came after all, so the wasted day and night can be regarded as having some explanation.

The old man came to Baicao Courtyard more than an hour ago, and at that time, he had already seen Su Yu who was carrying a pine flower cake in his hand and rushed back to the courtyard gate.

After only hesitating for a moment, the old man did not come forward to talk to her, but chose to stand in the garden from a distance and watch her.

If things continue like this, no one knows how much time it will take the old man to make up his mind and take the first step from the garden.

Fortunately, when the old man looked at the dormitory building that belonged to Baicao Courtyard in the distance, Su Yu also saw him in front of the wooden window.

Seeing the old man standing in the scorching sun for so long, the little girl couldn't help but feel pity, thinking that this old man was too pitiful to stand in the sun like this, I don't know if it will be heat stroke?

Worried in his heart, Su Yu didn't think too much about it, so he walked to the front of the medicine garden with pine cake and cold water.

Because she couldn't speak, and it was difficult to gesture with things in her hands, she could only lift the pine cake and teapot in front of the old man a little awkwardly.

Walking closer, Su Yu saw that the old man was wearing a thin green shirt, which was covered with all kinds of stains and dust, and he didn't know how long he hadn't changed and washed, and the old man's white hair and beard were messily knotted together, like a beggar on the street, but in the academy, how could there be a beggar?

So this person can only be regarded as a bad old man at best.

The old man was a little stunned by the sudden pine cake and kettle in front of him, but he reacted quickly, squeezed out a smile that he thought was very kind as much as he could, wiped his hands on the dirty green shirt, and then took the food and water from Su Yu's hands.

Seeing this, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then with doubts on his face, he raised his hand and gestured, "Who are you?"

The old man was stunned again, because before this, he didn't know that Su Yu was a mute, and at this moment, his heart suddenly felt pity, so he also made some hurried gestures, and pointed in the direction where he came.

Su Yu didn't laugh at the old man's wolf bèi, but was a little sad, she thought that this old man was also a mute like herself.

Moreover, he is a dumb man with more hands and feet than himself.

"It's a bit pitiful. Su Yu thought so in his heart.

Perhaps it was holding something in his hand, which was extremely inconvenient for the old man's movements, so he simply put the pine cake and the kettle at his feet, then stretched out his finger and pointed to the ground, flapped his hands twice as if he were making wings, and finally pointed to his nose, as if to introduce himself.

Su Yu was at a loss for this, and even frowned lightly inadvertently, because the pine flower cake was bought for her by Su Wen.

However, out of sympathy for the old man, Su Yu still tried not to express her unhappiness on her face, she just shook her head, indicating that she couldn't understand the old man's meaning.

The next moment, however, the old man spoke: "It's too hard to play dumb riddles like this, can you hear the voice? Or, can you read lips?"

At this moment, Su Yu's pity for the old man in Su Yu's heart was immediately shattered, and the little girl's thin eyebrows finally wrinkled unabashedly, she thought that her kindness was teased by the old man, so she bent down and picked up the pine flower cake from the ground, bowed down to the old man, and turned to leave.

The old man was suddenly confused by Su Yu's actions, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Well, why did you leave? Could it be that she can't hear the sound? This is a bit troublesome......

Just when the old man regretted in his heart, Su Yu had already walked a long way, and the old man suddenly came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "Don't go, eh, wait!"

The next moment, the old man slapped his head, remembering that the little girl was not only mute, but also deaf, so he quickly picked up the kettle at his feet and quickly chased after him.

At this moment, Su Yu was still glad that he had not wasted the pine cake that Su Wen bought for him, and saw that the old man was like a gust of wind, and instantly stopped in front of him.

As a white-haired old man, the other party ran all the way, and his face was not red or panting, which also made Su Yu a little surprised.

But after the surprise, there was a hint of caution.

Although Su Yu knew that there would be no people like liars and traffickers in the academy, so she would give food and water to the old man without vigilance just now, but now seeing that the other party was actually entangled in vain, with a slight obscene smile on her face, Su Yu suddenly became full of vigilance.

Who is he, and what does he want to do?

The old man didn't notice the change in the expression on Su Yu's face, he just tried to show his smile more kindly, and said while gesturing: "What, I don't know if you're interested in the tea ceremony?" (to be continued......)
