Chapter 40: A small loss

After a while, in the Iron Qin and Bronze Sword Building, several teenagers came one after another, and at the same time, many teenagers had already left with the introductory books with a happy face.

Mo Shiping watched silently from beginning to end, and made up his mind to stay until the end.

However, Wang Fugui on the side was full of anxiety, and he wanted to rush forward to rent books several times, but was quietly pulled back by Mo Shiping.

Mo Shiping couldn't say what he thought directly, so he had to prevaricate every time, "Don't worry, wait." ”。

Unconsciously, half an hour passed, and the young man who was still staying on the first floor of the Tieqin and Bronze Sword Building of Nuoda was left with only Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui.

Han Shuangcheng looked at the two teenagers with a smile, but sighed slightly in his heart, from beginning to end, he was paying attention to these two teenagers who had not stepped forward to rent books for a long time, especially the somewhat swarthy teenager, who always looked at all this calmly, not in a hurry or impatient, as if he had completely seen through his own thoughts.

Thinking of this, Han Shuangcheng took the initiative to step forward, the enthusiastic expression on his face remained unchanged, and asked with a smile: "I don't know if the two junior brothers have waited for so long, but what doubts do you have?"

When Wang Fugui heard this, he just wanted to reply, but Mo Shiping on the side quietly pulled his sleeve. Suddenly, Wang Fugui swallowed back the words in his mouth and looked at him suspiciously.

I saw that Mo Shiping also replied with a smile: "Senior Brother Han, the two of us are indeed a little confused, I don't know that the books on the first floor of this Iron Qin and Bronze Sword Building are all books about the introduction of cultivation?"

Han Shuangcheng nodded: "Yes, the books on the entire first floor are all about the first to third realms of the martial arts realm, and they are all quite suitable for new disciples." At the same time, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes when he looked at the young man, who really didn't stay until the end for no reason.

When Wang Fugui on the side heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he was taken aback. He quickly looked around, and secretly calculated that on the first floor of this Iron Piano and Bronze Sword Building, there were thousands of books, not to mention a collection.

"So much? It's going to take more than ten years to read them all. Wang Fugui asked in disbelief.

Han Shuangcheng shook his head with a smile and explained, "You don't have to read it all. Most of the content introduced in many books is similar, and basically reading three or five books can almost understand the methods and points of cultivation in the martial arts realm. ”

"Oh, that's right. Wang Fugui responded as if he had suddenly realized.

Mo Shiping also nodded, he didn't think that this Senior Brother Han would deceive them in this kind of thing.

Immediately afterwards, Han Shuangcheng changed his words and continued to say with a smile: "However, the two junior disciples should not think that only the books on the first floor are introductory books, and the entire Iron Qin and Bronze Sword Building is the same from the first to the sixth floor. In other words, all the books in this Iron Qin Bronze Sword Building are about the martial arts realm. I guess you can understand why, right?"

When Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui heard this, they were both surprised, but they quickly understood the reason. In fact, it is very simple, when he entered the sect, Song Jiang, the head of the purple robe, had already said that the Imperial Spirit Sect was only responsible for the cultivation of one to three realms, and if it exceeded the three realms, it would go to the next sect. Then all the books in the Imperial Spirit Sect are about the martial arts realm, which is reasonable.

Mo Shiping thought for a while, and then asked, "Senior Brother Han, although the books on the first to sixth floors of the Iron Qin and Bronze Sword Building are all about the martial arts realm, there are some differences, right?"

"Exactly. Most of the books on the first floor are ordinary books that can be found everywhere in the world. The higher the floor, the more precious the books are, and the higher the points that need to be spent on rental. On the sixth floor, most of the books are from the hands of the world's most famous overhauls, and some of the books are even the only ones in the world. However, this is not to say that the higher the floor, the better the content in the books. After all, it is only a martial artist realm, and it cannot be regarded as stepping into an immortal cultivator, so even a book written by a great monk of the Breaking Sky Realm may not be as good as the understanding written by a monk who has stayed in the three realms of martial arts for decades. ”

Han Shuangcheng said this sincerely, although he also had a small abacus in his heart to earn more points, but there are also rules in the sect, and in matters related to cultivation, it is not allowed to deceive or hide secrets.

Mo Shiping nodded, agreeing with these words, as the saying goes, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, which is exactly the reason. He took out his jade slip from his arms, and asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Han, I have ninety-two points in this jade slip, I don't know how many floors I can go to rent at most?"

Han Shuangcheng laughed dumbly when he heard this, and at the same time raised an index finger and said, "It can only be rented on the first floor." The Imperial Spirit Sect has a rule that every 100 points can be used to move up to the next level. In other words, if you want to go to the second floor, you must have at least 100 points in the jade slip, and 500 points in the sixth floor. ”

"I see, thank you Senior Brother Han for informing me. Then Senior Brother Lao Han has selected two books for the two of us on the introduction to spiritual practice, preferably with specific matters. Mo Shiping lightly clenched his fists and handed the jade slip in his hand to Han Shuangcheng.

Han Shuangcheng took the jade slip with a smile, and after pondering for a while, he said: "A book of "Muscle and Bone Refining" and a book of "Herbal Introduction", the former mainly talks about the methods of cultivation in various realms of the martial arts realm, and the latter talks about which herbs to take are especially effective for the cultivation of the martial arts realm. Eighty points a month, how's that?"

"That's the best, thank you, Senior Brother Han. Mo Shiping replied with a smile.

So, Han Shuangcheng pinched the jade slip for a moment, returned it to Mo Shiping, and then pointed to the west direction with his finger, and said happily: "The second row of the tenth row takes "Small Refining of Muscles and Bones", and the sixth row of the thirteenth row takes "Herbal Introduction". Remember to return it on time after a month. ”

Mo Shiping didn't delay, he immediately turned around and went to get the two books, and after not staying long, he was ready to pull Wang Fugui away.

It's just that before leaving, Mo Shiping suddenly thought of the origin of this iron piano and bronze sword building, so he asked again: "Senior Brother Han, I don't know if the iron piano and bronze sword used in the town tower are placed on the seventh floor?"

Han Shuangcheng smiled and nodded, he was in a good mood at the moment, he originally thought that the two people who stayed until the end were not fat sheep to slaughter, but he didn't expect the process to be unexpectedly smooth.

"Yes, this is also the origin of the name of this iron piano bronze sword tower. It is said that this iron harp and bronze sword are both Lingbao-level weapons, which were placed by the head of the family himself. In addition, there are also books on the seventh floor, and they are all books about martial arts. ”

"If you want to rent books on the seventh floor, do you need to have at least six hundred points?" When it came to martial arts, Mo Shiping was a little moved, the only boxing technique he currently mastered was the Xingyi Fist taught to him by his grandfather, if he could learn more other martial arts, it would naturally be excellent, such as the strange body shape and steps made by Yuwen Cheshui at the beginning, which made Mo Shiping a little moved.

But Han Shuangcheng shook his head, and at the same time explained: "It's not six hundred, it's one thousand points, this is the rule set by the sect. Moreover, renting martial arts books on the seventh floor, no matter which one, is at least one thousand points a month. In addition, there is another way to obtain the lease right of the books on the seventh floor, and that is to complete the specific tasks of the sect. These specific tasks can be obtained at the Qiu Pavilion where the tasks are posted within the sect. ”

Mo Shiping secretly took note of these words, nodded, thanked Han Shuangcheng again, and turned to leave.

This time, the two returned to Mo Shiping's house with ease, and did not delay too long on the road.

"Why don't you rent a few more copies? I still have more than 400 points in my jade slip. As soon as Wang Fugui returned to the house, he couldn't help but ask. He wanted to ask in the Iron Qin Bronze Sword Tower before, but when he thought of Mo Shiping pulling his sleeve before, he simply kept silent, because he believed that Mo Shiping had other plans.

Mo Shiping closed the wooden door unhurriedly before replying with a smile: "Don't you see it yet, then Senior Brother Han treats all the new disciples of the sect as fat sheep and wants to slaughter them." ”

"Huh?" Wang Fugui scratched his head, he was already a person with a lively mind, after Mo Shiping said this, and then thought about it carefully, he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"Could it be that the young man who was the first to speak was in collusion with Senior Brother Han?"

Mo Shiping nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's very likely." But even if I noticed this at the time, I couldn't change anything, and in the end, I could only let Senior Brother Han stab him. ”

Wang Fugui thought about it, it was indeed like what Mo Shiping said, even if he knew it at the time, he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything. After all, the two of them are new to the Imperial Spirit Sect, and they don't know anything about the Iron Qin Bronze Sword Tower, and the two of them don't know anything about cultivation, so they have to count on Han Shuangcheng to say something or two, naturally Han Shuangcheng said how many points are how many points.

No wonder he said before that he didn't dare to be a senior brother, it seems that this is not a polite word. Thinking of this, Wang Fugui gritted his teeth and muttered.

Mo Shiping shook his head helplessly, smiled and said with relief: "It's all up to each other." Senior Brother Han can make a group of junior brothers willingly give away points, naturally his means are powerful. However, we didn't suffer too much, and used the eighty points in my jade slip to lease two books, and I also got a lot of news. What's more, the more than 400 points in your jade slip have not been lost, so we still have a lot of choices in the future. ”

Wang Fugui nodded, feeling much better, but his expression was still a little awkward, obviously he held a grudge.

Mo Shiping sat on the wooden bench, handed the "Muscle and Bone Refining" to Wang Fugui, and opened the "Collection of Herbal Medicines", ready to see if there were any herbs he had seen first.

Wang Fugui took "The Little Refinement of Muscles and Bones", but did not open it, but just spread the book on the table, looking a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Mo Shiping looked up at Wang Fugui, who had not moved for a long time, and asked with some curiosity.

I saw Wang Fugui scratching his head with an embarrassed expression, and whispered a little embarrassed: "I only know a few words." ”

When Mo Shiping heard this, he looked stunned, he really didn't expect this.

Mo Shiping was born in the market, but when he was very young, his grandfather taught him to read and write. It is precisely because of this that he ignores that teenagers like him in the world should be busy helping their families make a living, and they have no spare time to read and write, and most of them can only write their own names. And he only learned about Wang Fugui's life experience, but he didn't think about it at the moment, which made Mo Shiping feel a little guilty.

At this time, Wang Fugui naturally saw the guilt in Mo Shiping's expression, and he couldn't help but smile and sighed quietly. He is very happy to have such a friend who puts himself in the shoes of others, so he laughs. But at the same time, he also felt tired for Mo Shiping, he didn't envy such a good man, so he sighed.

Mo Shiping thought for a while, and suddenly said with a smile: "Why don't I teach you to read?"

When Wang Fugui heard this, his expression changed, and he immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said again and again: "No, no! Reading and literacy is a thing that buzzes in my brain when I hear it." ”

Seeing this, Mo Shiping raised his eyebrows, and said with a helpless smile: "So, I can only watch "Muscle and Bone Refinement" first, and then explain it to you?"

"Yes!" Wang Fugui hurriedly replied, he had planned for this, and was waiting for Mo Shiping to say this.

Mo Shiping naturally guessed Wang Fugui's innocuous thoughts, but he wouldn't break them, because he was also enjoying them.

...

At this time, a huge passenger ship from the southern regions arrived in the far north.

Northern Xinjiang is a region that is different from the Southern Regions, the Eastern Continent, and the Western Territory. Here, the people of the whole continent, men, women, and children, are all monks.

There is no other reason, behind the northern frontier, there is the demon clan that is eyeing the tiger. It can be said that the northern frontier is the first line of defense of the human race.

Eighty percent of the people on this passenger ship were monks who went to the north to sharpen their training, and the remaining two percent were traders. Therefore, the old Confucian wearing a crown and wearing an old green shirt looks a little out of place.

No one would think that Northern Xinjiang is a suitable place to do learning.

The old Confucian got off the boat slowly, and when he stepped on the ground in the northern frontier, his old face seemed to be getting older and older. He remembered the last time he set foot on the northern frontier, it was more than ten years ago, when he made a decision that surprised everyone, and chilled the hearts of many great monks.

However, to this day, the old Confucian has never regretted it, but he is a little tired.

At the same time, in the northernmost sect of Northern Xinjiang, a middle-aged man with a handsome and cold expression frowned, drew his sword without hesitation, and swung a sword qi into the air, and even Yunxia was shattered into pieces.

This sect is called Sword Sect, the man is named Yu Chengfeng, and the sword is called Dajiangdong, one of the fairyland of the human race.

A sword qi fell from the sky and smashed in front of the old Confucian student, drawing a boundary that stretched out and saw no end.

A cold voice sounded in the ears of the old Confucian student.

"Crossing the line, dying. ”

The old Confucian stopped, straightened his clothes, and continued to walk forward.

"And look at the gaze of others like a ghost fire, and laugh and act. ”

"Our generation of scholars is of great use. ”

The old Confucian did not hesitate to cross the line drawn by Yu Chengfeng.

"Boom!" A loud sound came from the northern sky, and a chilling sword aura rushed straight towards it with an undisguised murderous aura.

The old Confucian raised his head and looked at the sky, and unconsciously narrowed his eyes: "It's really dazzling." ”
