Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Savage Girl
Opening the slightly rusty door lock, the three of them pushed the door and walked into this small courtyard exclusive to Cloud City.
The rooms inside are not small, everything is not bad, except for some dust, there are no overgrown weeds in the courtyard, it seems that the martial arts academy will also send someone to clean it up regularly.
Dao Yuan is a person with a slight habit of cleanliness, seeing this situation, he still frowned slightly, and saw that there was a well with moss on the edge of the courtyard, he rolled up his sleeves, took a bucket of water, and began to scrub the room carefully.
Lei Luo looked at Hu Lie and said, "Bang mallet, don't be stunned, let's do it, you are upstairs, I am downstairs." ”
It wasn't until nearly midday that the three of them cleaned up the entire courtyard and made it spotless.
This busy work made Lei Luo sweat profusely and his mouth dry, he wiped the dust on his face and said, "Why is this thing more tiring than cultivation!"
Hu Lie's head was also slightly sweaty, and he looked at him and said, "You guy, you must rarely do this kind of thing, otherwise how can you be so virtuous!"
"Damn, of course I haven't done it! I don't even have a home, where do I get all this work!" Lei Luo sat on the chair, leaned back and tilted his head: "Stick mallet, go get some water to wash." ”
Hu Lie glared: "You won't go yourself?"
"I'll go if you want to, all that nonsense. ”
"Do you have itchy skin? Why don't I loosen your muscles?"
"Damn, do you want to fight?
“......”
The two were arguing, and Dao Yuan came in with two buckets of water, frowning and said, "With this kung fu, the bath is finished!"
When the two of them heard this, they stopped their mouths stupidly, but glared at each other fiercely, saying that they were giving face to Daoyuan, not convincing you.
......
......
After lunch, Dao Yuan asked a cultivator where the Ming Library Pavilion was located, and walked straight over.
The library pavilion is a separate wooden building, divided into upper, middle and lower three floors, each floor has more than a dozen huge rooms, the books in it are as vast as a sea of smoke, as numerous as the stars, are neatly stacked on the shelves, clearly marked by categories, these books are thin and thick, large and small, there are cultivation cheats, there are biographies, there are customs, there are sect introductions, there are herbal records...... In short, it is the astronomy, download geography, everything in the sky and the earth, and it is all the collections of the First Martial Arts Academy since ancient times.
Dao Yuan stood at the door, looking at the rows of bookshelves nearly three meters high, and was a little dazed for a while.
Soon, his eyes began to turn, searching carefully for something, and when he landed somewhere, his heart moved, and he strode over, and on the second floor of the bookshelf on the left, he took out an old book called "The Atlas of the World" and looked through it.
Outside the door, Hu Lie said to Lei Luo: "Dao Yuan doesn't seem to be looking at the cultivation cheats, what is he looking for?"
Lei Luo sighed: "Boss, he was adopted by his master since he was a child, and he doesn't know who his parents are, and now he is here, on the one hand, to fulfill the last wish of the master of the sea courtyard, and on the other hand, to find his own background. And the only clue he has now is the pattern on a piece of jade beside him, I think, he is looking for the clue of this pattern, and then find out his background. ”
"That's ...... so"
Lei Luo touched him with his arm and whispered, "Bang mallet, you go, I'll wait outside." ”
"What, Dao Yuan is looking for clues, and you're not going to help?"
Lei Luo said with a bitter face: "This ...... I...... I don't seem to know many words......"
"Cut, if you don't know, you don't know, what is it! I look at you like a big straw bag!" Hu Lie rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.
Lei Luo's face turned red, and he shouted in a suppressed voice: "You are not a straw bag, then you go and help the boss find it!"
"This ......" Hu Lie immediately changed his expression, and locked a pair of thick eyebrows: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's really not interested in these things since I was a child, but there is no way, I was forced to study by my family for a few years, and it seems that I have sequelae, and now I have a headache and want to vomit when I see the book......"
"And you just said me?"
"Who made you talk about me before!"
"I rely on ......"
After staring at it for a long time, Lei Luo suddenly deflated and said, "Forget it, neither of us can help, or ...... Let's not go in!"
"Well, I've known you for so long, and this sentence is still pleasing to the ear!, but ......" Hu Lie glanced at Dao Yuan: "Isn't it a bit unrighteous for us to do this?"
"It's not unrighteous, but it's very unrighteous!" Lei Luo touched his chin: "But it's not me, it's you!"
"Why?"
Lei Luo said proudly: "I didn't go because I didn't have much literacy, it's a matter of ability." And if you don't go, it's the reason for your attitude, although the result is the same, but in fact, there is a world of difference! The boss kindly brought you into the martial arts academy, you can help him but you don't help, you say, isn't it very unrighteous......
"You stinky boy, you can justify yourself with strong words......"
"What I'm saying is the truth!"
Dao Yuan heard the voices of the two, raised his head and smiled: "There are too many books here, and there are so few clues, if you want to find it, it is not a matter of a day or two, you don't have to worry about me, take Jin'er around." ”
“...... Okay, boss, you look for it slowly, and the two of us go and see what the situation is here, so we can have a clear understanding of this place. ”
Leaving the Library Pavilion, the two of them circled around the martial arts courtyard.
To say that this martial arts academy is called the first, it really lives up to its name, not to mention anything else, but it covers a vast area, which is not comparable to any other martial arts academy. Hu Lie made a rough estimate, just adding up to all the houses here, I am afraid that there can be nearly 10,000 people, not including those secret rooms, warehouses, warehouses, utility rooms, etc.
Although the place is large, there are also many restrictions, and many places are guarded by special personnel and are forbidden to enter. The two of them were quite curious at first, but soon became a little uneasy.
After turning around for a while, Lei Luo proposed: "Bang mallet, let's go out for a walk, and buy some food by the way." ”
Hu Lie said: "There is food and drink here, everything is available, are you still not satisfied?"
"Things are good, but the chef can't!" Lei Luo recalled the taste of the meal just now, and grinned, "It's far worse than the outside!"
Hu Lie couldn't resist him, so he had to say, "Then let's go and go back quickly." ”
......
......
For a whole afternoon, Dao Yuan didn't take a step out of the library pavilion, flipping through all kinds of books that might have clues, but unfortunately, he still found nothing. However, he was not discouraged, the years of reading books in the mountains had already honed his patience, and it was nothing compared to this mere afternoon.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he was about to get up and leave, but as soon as he walked to the door, he saw a young girl rushing towards him.
This girl is about twenty-eight years old, and she is slim and beautiful. The black and shiny green silk cascades down to the waist like a waterfall, fluttering gracefully, and the light can be seen. On the delicate face of melon seeds, the eyebrows are like a crescent moon, the mouth is like a cherry, and the eyes are smart and flowing, which is very charming. With a bright yellow brocade gauze skirt, it adds a sense of wealth and brightness.
At this time, she was looking at Dao Yuan, who was a little stunned, with a hint of anger.
"You don't have eyes when you walk?"
"This ...... It's obviously a girl, you're running too fast, if I hadn't dodged in time......"
The girl raised her eyebrows and interrupted him: "This girl said that it was your fault that it was your fault, a big man, he didn't even dare to admit his mistake?"
Dao Yuan sighed in his heart: This girl is so good-looking, why is she so arrogant and domineering, it seems that it should be the eldest lady of a family, who has been pampered and willful since she was a child, or she is right, it is true that competing with a daughter's family for such a trivial matter is indeed not like a man.
"Well, it's mine, no, girl, please. Dao Yuan bowed slightly, made a gesture, and turned to leave.
"Stop!"
