Chapter 42: The Study
Taixuan Mountain, Nameless Pavilion.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, wandering in the world of books, there is anger, joy, contemplation, sadness, and indifference. Dugu Hexuan was immersed in it, unable to release the volume, writing hard, and not wanting to return. The snoring in my ears is still so rhythmic.
"It's time for dinner again!" Dou Ciyou sighed, wiped the corners of his mouth, sleepy-eyed, and muttered to himself in a daze.
"Who are you?" he was astonished when he saw the man who was concentrating on writing, and suddenly cried out.
"Senior Brother Dou, are you awake?" Dugu Hexuan said calmly, "Please ask Senior Brother to calculate my salary for me." Plus, there's not much paper and ink, so I can rest in the afternoon!"
"Oh! It turned out to be Senior Brother Xinghe! Hehe, yes, I persevered for three hours!" Dou Ciyou quickly came to his senses, slapped his palms a few times, spat a few times, and said, "Let me take a look, Senior Brother......"
A quick flip book sounded!
"Oh my God! five hundred?"
"Hehe, I haven't written for a long time, and I'm a little rusty, at least write three hundred less. ”
Dou Ciyou was dumbfounded and said, "Who are you, so low-key and ruthless?"
"Hmm, a man who lacks spirit stones!"
Dou Ciyou's eyes only rolled, and he suddenly asked with a serious face: "Senior Brother Xinghe, how long do you estimate it will take to finish transcribing this room of books?"
"If you don't sleep all night, up to seven or eight days. If you are free, one month is enough. After all, there is just over a month before the Dan meeting, and I just have something to do. ”
"No, it must be done in seven days!" Dou Ciyou said solemnly, "In this way, I will add two more spirit stones to each serving." How about we do this work in seven days?"
"So urgent?" Dugu Hexuan put away the scroll in his hand and asked, "Senior brother doesn't seem to be a person in a hurry!"
"That's more sorrow than heart death! That's despair of life! Now, I see hope, and I just want to go crazy!" When Dou Ciyou said, he was very sad and said miserably: "Little junior brother, do you understand?"
Dugu Hexuan said: "Understood! However, I still have to feed the pigs, and so on!"
Dou Ciyou stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the jade plate, tell me your house, and I'll do it for you!"
"Really out of sight?"
"If I don't grasp your life-saving straw, my life will slowly wear away here!"
Dou Ciyou said very sincerely, from the bottom of his heart. Dugu Hexuan pondered for a moment, nodded, and handed the jade plate to him, explaining the location of his house. Continue to organize the books and start transcribing. Dou Ciyou loaded all the transcribed books and left quickly, his breath almost roaring, it was a desire for rebirth.
Dugu Hexuan sighed and said in his heart: Compared to the time when I was forced to write and draw with poison, what can this be?
An hour later, Dou Ciyou came back scolding, and when he saw Dugu Hexuan, he smiled all over his face and said, "Senior brother, your little red pig is more fierce than the little black wolf." I've taught you a lesson. ”
"Haha! In these years, the world is declining, and wolves are not as good as pigs!" Dugu Hexuan put away the scrolls, and waited for Dou Ciyou to set up the wine and food, and the two of them ate big.
During this period, the two of them chatted for a while. After eating, Dou Ciyou paid the spirit stone, Dugu Hexuan continued to transcribe, and he continued to teach the pig. During the interval of pig training, he prepared a scroll of paper and ink for Dugu Hexuan, and sorted out the books that had been written. Dou Ciyou is very knowledgeable, no matter how noisy he is, he will not disturb Dugu Hexuan.
So, Dou Ciyou was like a cunning landlord, staring at slave labor, and Dugu Hexuan was like an honest slave, writing for seven days and seven nights. Just as the last volume was being written, a desolate cry rang out, moving the heavens and the earth. Dugu Hexuan, who was crying, was a little unbearable.
"Dead old ghost, this time, I see what else you can say?" Dou Ciyou choked up and said, "Old man, it's finally come to this day." Choke ......"
Dugu Hexuan said: "Senior brother, now is the time for the intersection of Haizi, if you cry like this, will it alarm the elders of Taixuan Sect?"
In the past seven days, in addition to our eleven living creatures, have you ever seen a fly, mosquito, or the like?" Dou Ciyou took Dugu Hexuan's hand and said, "Little junior brother, I don't thank you for the grace of recreation." When I have dealt with the major events of my life, I will come to thank you again. If there is a place for me in the future, just ask. ”
"It's a trivial matter! I also want to thank Senior Brother for giving me the opportunity to find out how to feel!" Dugu Hexuan asked, "Senior Brother, after this thing is done, is there any similar work?"
Dou Ciyou burst into tears and laughed, and said: "Are you really stupid or fake stupid? The ancients said: 'Only ugly people read and write'. Look at those personal disciples and children of the family, who is willing to do these things?"
Dugu Hexuan sneered and said, "Uh! Does your sect have a library? Do you allow foreign disciples to enter and read?"
Dou Ciyou said while collecting the book: "Don't mention the book, if you mention it again, I will vomit." Tomorrow afternoon, wait for my news. After a pause, he specially advised: "Don't forget to take your bad beast away!"
Dugu Hexuan said: "I think my senior brother is quite in love with this pig, or else, a thousand spirit stones ......."
"Get out of ......" Dou Ciyou said a series of rolls, and after he cleaned up, the two of them went out of the hall together and walked to the platform. Dou Ciyou gave a few commands, and then trotted away. Dugu Hexuan saw that there was no one on the platform, and it was very quiet, standing in the red, orange, and blue glass aperture, looking into the distance.
The sea was foggy. The Milky Way in the sky is dazzling.
For a long time, the relationship is born from the heart, and the soul is moved. Dugu Hexuan felt that the galaxy was shining and crumbling, so he stretched out his right hand to sense the power of the stars. In a moment, the sky and the galaxy are ethereal and undercurrent, like a waterfall, falling straight into the sea and floating in the palm of your hand. The palm of the palm can accommodate Qiankun, and the galaxy continues to increase, gradually becoming a "howling dragon". Suddenly, the galaxy surged, the heavens and the earth suddenly brightened, and a bunch of stars cast a solid dragon body.
Dugu Hexuan urged the mysterious spell, for a long time, the true dragon looked at the moon, shocking the sky, and the palm of the hand was like a black hole in the sky, firmly controlling the true dragon. Suddenly, the real dragon swung its tail and plunged into the palm of its hand, like entering the sea, and soon disappeared in the palm of its hand. Immediately, the power of the stars also dissipated, and the galaxy dimmed.
Dugu Hexuan felt a cold breath enter his body, broke through all obstacles, and directly merged into the Dantian Jade Mansion. The Dantian Jade Mansion couldn't withstand the powerful impact, and it actually caused the mysterious thing in the dantian to rebound, and the cold breath rebounded fifty percent. Under the refining of the magic spell, this fifty is divided into four, scattered into the spiritual aperture, etc. The whole person shuddered slightly, was pleasantly surprised, and felt a little stupid.
The sea breeze blows, and the waves rise. The moonlit night in the sea is even more secluded.
Dugu Hexuan smiled softly, strode towards Danqing Dao, and said to himself: "The secret of the Dugu family's sword dao magic is actually to pay attention to a 'creation environment'. ”
It was night, Dugu Hexuan abandoned distracting thoughts and fell asleep peacefully.
In a sweet dream, I was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.
Dugu Hexuan stretched his waist, yawned, got out of bed slowly, and opened the door to welcome guests. It was none other than Dou Ciyou. Dou Ciyou was wearing a light red and light purple robe, which was the unique costume of the disciples of the Taixuan Dan Sect, holding a high-grade spirit sword, faintly with a momentum of coming out. After entering the door, Dugu Hexuan's salary was paid first.
Dou Ciyou raised his eyebrows and said, "After a busy morning, I finally got this thing done." Although he is the fifth disciple of the dead old ghost, he has finally become a personal disciple. ”
Dugu Hexuan smiled, naturally knowing the reason.
Dou Ciyou continued: "Recently, we have been in retreat to transcribe books, and we don't know anything about what is happening outside. Earlier, listening to my fourth senior brother talk about it, it was quite exciting. For example, a junior disciple of the Tongtian Sword Sect fell in love with a senior sister of the Origin Sword Sect at first sight, and that senior sister had already secretly agreed to others, and now, it was lively. Also, Nangong Rongxuan of Taihua Peak of the Yuan Shi Sword Sect, I don't know what shit luck he touched, and he actually obtained a four-grade clam bead on the 'Red Goose Island'. Let's go, I'll take you to the library. In the future, I'm afraid I won't have so much time to take you to play. ”
"Thank you, brother!"
After Dugu Hexuan simply cleaned up, the two went out together.
Dou Ciyou continued to nag: "Recently, the Supreme Elders of the various factions will come to Taixuan Mountain one after another. The most surprising thing is that the Immortal Alliance, which has never participated in the Dan Society, also announced in a high-profile manner this time that it will send its juniors to participate in the Dan Hui competition. The day is coming. ”
Dugu Hexuan said: "Isn't it just a Danhui, how can it alarm a character like Elder Taishang?"
"Childish!" Dou Ciyou shook his head and said, "According to my uncle, when you came, the huge wave that you didn't know for any reason attracted the attention of all factions. Now there are rumors that the huge wave is not something that the five sea Jiao can send out at all, but that there is a more powerful mysterious force that manipulates the scene. ”
"So that's the case! Then it's not strange!" Dugu Hexuan said lightly: "It's not the right time, why don't you see a person?"
"Before dawn, they all went to sea to the islands to look for opportunities. It's like you, like a nerd. Dou Ciyou said in a deep voice: "It's okay to go out for a walk and see, the outside world is more exciting." Don't spend all day reading and writing, that's what the most unproductive people do. ”
As they spoke, the two crossed the platform and met the sparse disciples of Taixuanzong, and no one greeted Dou Ciyou. Continue through several intersecting avenues into the corner of the Kan district and come to a large hall. The plaque reads "Heavenly Book Palace", and the palace is extremely magnificent. Walking into the hall and entering the hall, three young people were chatting in a low voice. When the three of them saw Dou Ciyou's dress, they only frowned.
Dou Ciyou had a superior posture and ordered: "This is the Xinghe junior disciple of the Yuan Shi Sword Sect, you should entertain him and take him to the open study hall to read." Spirit stone, put it on my account. ”
A handsome young man hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, Senior Brother Dou, congratulations on finally becoming a disciple of the lineage......!
"Don't talk nonsense, just get things done. Dou Ciyou waved his hand to interrupt the man's speech, and said to Dugu Hexuan: "Senior Brother Xinghe, I want to go to serve the master left and right, so it is inconvenient to accompany me more." ”
Dugu Hexuan said sincerely: "Thank you, Senior Brother Dou!"
After Dou Ciyou left, the three of them respectfully took Dugu Hexuan to the study. One of them said, "There are a total of 12,000 of these books, Senior Brother Xinghe, you can read them as you like." You are a good friend of your own disciple, so you naturally don't have to worry about the matter of the spirit stone. ”
"Thank you, three senior brothers!" After Dugu Hexuan saluted, the three of them also left with a smile.
Dugu Hexuan looked from the beginning to the house, one by one, scrolls and volumes, some of them were fine, and some of them were rough. By about the time of the end, Dugu Hexuan had already read everything. After observing the study hall for a while, he shook his head and walked out of the study hall quickly. At this time, only the handsome young man was guarding here.
"Senior brother, how many spirit stones do you get in total?"
"Two hundred!"
"So expensive?"
"It's more expensive, so the study hall is always deserted. However, Senior Brother Dou Ciyou instructed that Senior Brother did not have to deliver it in person, and left on his own. ”
Dugu Hexuan put down the two hundred spirit stones, quickly left the study hall, and strode towards Danqing Valley. At this time, there were still not many pedestrians on the road, all of them were inner disciples of Taixuanzong, and Dugu Hexuan didn't have the heart to find out. As soon as he entered the Tiangang area, someone in the shadows suddenly said, "You just came back?"
"Hey, Senior Brother Dou, are you waiting for me here?"
