Volume 1 Reading Road Chapter 62 A Boy Meets a Boy
It was windy in the early morning, the morning sun had not risen, and the sky was a little drowsy.
Dark clouds piled up in the headlight of the island in the middle of the river, carrying chills and thunder, hiding a rain.
It seems like it could fall at any moment.
The air became a little thin and oppressive.
It was as heavy as Tang Qing's mood.
He barely slept all night, and he had a lot of thoughts, hiding a lot of the young man's thoughts.
Before dawn he got up and stood at the window looking out at the dark sky outside, not knowing what he was thinking.
The emotion on his face was very light, and the look in his eyes was as usual, and he couldn't see superfluous thoughts.
Later, the entire Heaven and Earth Divine Courtyard began to get busy, and the voices began to be noisy, and the teachers and students continued their previous classes, which seemed to be no different from usual.
The monks of various sects in the outside world also visited under the guidance of the protΓ©gΓ©s arranged by the seminary, and only a very few chose to stay in the room to continue to rest or meditate, making final preparations for tomorrow's battle for the Xuanwu List.
Tang Qing also went out, and after breakfast, he followed the crowd, they first went to the beast control house, and saw the cold and cold air shrouded in the periphery of the strange palace, listening to the roar of fierce beasts from time to time in the beast control room, and the smell of blood in the air, he frowned a little uncomfortably.
Many people in the same group wanted to go to the inside of the Beast Control Zhai to see what fierce beasts were held in this cage, which is known as the most terrifying prison in the Divine Courtyard, some people walked in with great interest, but some people shook their heads and did not dare to go, and chose to leave.
Tang Qing also left, but not because he was afraid, but because he was not interested at all.
In addition, he does have a slight cleanliness habit, and the place where a group of beasts is locked up, even if someone cleans it day and night, it should not be clean.
So he calmly moved forward and followed the rest of the crowd to the monastery halls.
The Heaven and Earth Divine Academy is famous for its teachings, and the practitioners of those temples live in seclusion on the shores of Jiangxin Lake all the year round, although they are famous, they have never revealed their identities to the outside world, so they seem even more mysterious.
Now that those human monks have the opportunity to come into contact with those mysterious teachings face-to-face, they naturally will not miss this good opportunity to ask questions and solve their doubts, and they will compete forward one by one, surrounding all the teaching institutes and schools.
Tang Qing silently retreated.
There was a scholar in the Tang Kingdom.
There is a Master in the world.
Both were his teachers.
Where does he still need to ask the teachings of the Heaven and Earth Divine Academy?
Standing quietly outside the crowd for a moment, Tang Qing suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the sky, the clouds gathered, and the dark shadows above the sky became thicker and thicker.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, continued along the streets of the temple, and began to walk alone.
Walking through the pavilions and courtyards, through the street corners and alleys, he finally came to the library of the Heaven and Earth Seminary.
This was the end of his journey.
It is also the root of his coming to the Heaven and Earth Divine Courtyard to seek a creation.
Saints all come from books, this is a sentence once said by the scholar of the Tang Kingdom.
Even after such a long time, after practicing and cultivating in the human continent, traveling thousands of times, and experiencing a lot, Tang Qing still remembers this sentence and believes it deeply.
The outer perimeter of the library building is a blue-brown old building, without too many edges and decorations, plain and simple, like a vertical tower, with a total of seven floors, each floor is almost as large as a teaching institute, and the number of books in it can be imagined how terrifying.
Tang Qing raised his head slightly, and looked at the top of the library building against the cold wind, separating the clouds and the sky, the blue-brown building seemed to have entered the clouds, such a high library building, not to mention reading the books inside, it was a little difficult to climb to the top.
Tang Qing looked at it like this for a long time, and the look in his eyes became a little solemn.
There's a lot to look forward to deep in the pupils.
His gaze was as hard as he could see through the mist.
It was the door on the seventh floor of the library.
Almost all the subtle knowledge, texts, scores, tricks, and scriptures in the world are in the middle.
Countless people yearn for it.
Tang Qing is naturally no exception.
He couldn't take his eyes off it, his palms were placed straight at his waist, and his mind shook slightly.
It's like being immersed in it.
It wasn't until the door on the first floor of the library building suddenly opened that Tang Qing's mind suddenly tightened, and he finally withdrew his eyes, and then looked at the door on the first floor.
Out of that door came a white-clothed young man, as big as Tang Qing, but the aura on his body was too bloody and cold, with a maturity and slaughter that did not belong to this age at all.
He looked at the boy, and the boy was looking at him.
At the moment of passing by, Tang Qing suddenly turned around and asked the young man's back that had just turned: "Hello, how do you go in the direction of the Xuanwu List?"
The young man in white stopped indifferently, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.
It seems that he didn't expect that there would be peers in this Heaven and Earth Divine Courtyard who dared to take the initiative to ask him.
He turned around, stared at Tang Qing and asked, "Are you talking to me?"
Tang Qing was even more surprised, he looked at the empty streets around the library building, and said, "There seems to be no one else here." β
The young man in white said, "Do you know who I am?"
Tang Qing asked, "Haven't asked for advice yet?"
"I'm Zhuo Xingchen. β
The young man in white raised his head calmly, with a natural pride, and said, "I have never seen you in the seminary, so you should be a monk from outside. Even if it is someone from the outside, since he has come to participate in the Xuanwu List, there is no reason not to find out the opponents in the Divine Academy, especially an opponent like me. β
Tang Qing was stunned, he looked at Zhuo Xingchen's slightly raised head, as well as the pride and conceit engraved in his bones, and was a little speechless.
There was a wind blowing from the sky, bringing a deep chill.
Tang Qing shrank his hand a little chillingly, I don't know if it was because of the weather or Zhuo Xingchen's words.
He was silent for a while, staring at Zhuo Xingchen's chin for a long time, probably thinking that if he didn't speak, the other party's head might not be put down.
So he stood up straight, spoke slowly, and repeated his question again, only this time he added a polite salutation, as well as a simple polite word: "Hello, Brother Zhuo, it's nice to meet you, how do you go in the direction of the Xuanwu Bang?"
Zhuo Xingchen didn't lower his head, his eyes looked at the sky, and he felt speechless.
That's right, the other party is indeed a very speechless teenager.
At the same time, he also felt that he was very shameless.
In those days of the past, no one dared to give themselves such a face.
But when there was really this day, Zhuo Xingchen was a little sad to find that he had no way to take the other party.
Kill him?
He just asked for directions, and judging by his appearance and outfit, it was obvious that he was a monk from outside, even if he was the best at fighting in the beast control and the most combative boy, he would not kill people from the outside world in the temple before the Xuanwu list began.
Naturally, he didn't care, but he was afraid that it would have a big impact on the reputation of the seminary.
Zhuo Xingchen regretted a little that he came to the library early in the morning to visit Bai Yexing, who was seriously injured in bed, otherwise he would not have met the speechless young man in front of him.
It's just that he still stood proudly in place, his expression was cold, his eyes were sharp, and it took a long time to raise his right hand and point in one direction, and then he quickly put away his right hand, covering his left hand, and said coolly: "After tomorrow, you will see the first place on the list under the Five Realms, which is my Zhuo Xingchen's name." At that time, I will come back to you again, do you know who I am. β
Zhuo Xingchen has always been proud, but today, in front of an eccentric young man who has never met and only has a second-realm cultivation, he exerted his pride to the extreme.
Soon, however, all the pride in his face faded into an incredulous expression.
Because Tang Qing suddenly took a step back, just arched his hand lightly to himself, and then turned around silently and walked along the somewhat damp street outside the library.
As he was leaving, he could be heard saying, "Excuse me." β
Tang Qing left, calm and indifferent, the short sword was tied to his waist, and with the sound of footsteps, his back quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
Zhuo Xingchen finally lowered his head, still a little incredulous as he watched the young figure fade away until it disappeared.
He could feel that the calm in the eyes of the strange boy and the indifference to his identity were not deliberate, he really had never heard his name.
Zhuo Xingchen even doubted that even if he knew who he was and understood his own heart and methods, he was afraid that his attitude towards himself would not change in any way.
He regretted not asking for the other person's name.
In fact, he didn't have this habit at all.
Looking at the entire continent, at the same age, who is qualified to let him take the initiative to ask?
The cold wind is coming, and a drizzle is already falling.
Zhuo Xingchen adjusted the white robe on his body, and the emotions in his eyes quickly converged and returned to indifference.
He looked in the direction of the Xuanwu List, and suddenly laughed at himself.
Why would he care so much about the attitude of a young man who only has the cultivation of the second realm.
If nothing else, in tomorrow's battle for the Xuanwu list, the other party may not even have the qualifications to fight with him.
He looked up, a cold, bloodthirsty smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
Then he left with a bad breath all over his body.
After he returned to the Beast Control Zhai, some of the outside monks who went in to visit did not leave, they saw the indifferent Zhuo Xingchen, felt the extremely murderous and bloody aura on his body, and knew that he was very difficult to provoke, especially with a belly of anger.
Soon, the remaining monks from the outside world left with some fear.
Not long after they left, in the cage deep in the beast control fast, the roar of those beasts suddenly rose out, and it was clearer than before.
Li Qingshan, the master of the Beast Zhai, stood in the attic on the first floor outside the cage, watching his fiercest students fight hand-to-hand with those brutal beasts, and the boundless murderous aura poured out, making people daunting.
Li Qingshan nodded with satisfaction, smiled and said to himself: "That sneering smile from the yellow sand of the Northern Desert is nothing more than that." β
