Volume 2 Going to the Dust Chapter 75 Searching for the Book Building

Every now and then a horse-drawn carriage or a few fiery horses pass by on the straight streets.

Su Yu looked at the sidewalks on both sides of the street, and was also amazed in his heart, he didn't feel it when he first entered the city, but when he looked at it at this time, he really couldn't imagine that such an ancient street would have such an orderly scene.

The wide street is only accessible to vehicles and horses, and there are sidewalk-like passages on both sides of the street for pedestrians, and the shops are leaning against the sidewalks, making it easy for pedestrians to buy, as if the street has been divided into three parts.

What Su Yu is surprised to see is that there are buildings like pedestrian bridges on the street for pedestrians to walk.

"Compared to other cities, Ningkang City is simply two worlds!"

Su Yu looked at the girl beside him and said to the girl with some sighs.

The girl doesn't know too much, but she also thinks that the buildings in Ningkang City are much more majestic and exquisite than those in Lin'an City, that is, the statues of small beasts on the eaves are much more than those in Lin'an City, and they are more exquisite.

Seeing the girl nodding, Su Yu chuckled. Of course, Su Yu also knew that the girl didn't know her feelings, but she would still be very happy to see the girl nodding.

The rumored library building was in the center of the city, and Su Yu walked all the way towards the center of the city, and soon Su Yu could see the imperial city located in the middle of the east of the city.

The walls of the imperial city are not high, and you can see many buildings inside, and the buildings inside can only be regarded as majestic, and there is no feeling of resplendence from the outside, but the imperial city is really huge, as if it is a county town, at a glance, it is extremely spectacular.

There is a moat on the side of the imperial city, I heard that there are twelve gates in the imperial city, each gate is guarded by the imperial guard, there are many willow trees on the opposite bank of the imperial city, if in warm weather, some noble children or "literati" like to play under the trees on the other side of the imperial city, and they will not be afraid of the royal forest army standing straight on the city wall or in front of and behind the city gate.

Hualu's atmosphere is not feudal, and it is even open, as long as it does not hinder the people in the imperial city from doing things, the Imperial Forest Army will not care about these people who are jumping next to the imperial city, because the real talented scribes all go to the Daqingjiang in the southern suburbs to gather and discuss the Tao, and these people can only be regarded as nonsense and attract people's attention.

At this time, the weather is cold and freezing, and no one wants to come to the imperial city to "chant poetry", and some are just tall and upright and exquisite but not tacky pavilions and palaces.

The girl was also sitting on the wheel at this time, she only looked at her little rabbit, the demon soul was shrouded by Su Yu with a layer of vitality like a bubble, and the girl was looking at the little rabbit like a crystal ball at this time.

Su Yu was a little helpless, as soon as he turned his head, he saw an old hen floating towards him, and after casually bounced the old hen's demon soul into ashes, he continued to look at the surrounding scenery, allowing himself to remember the road in Ningkang City as much as possible.

All the way was smooth, and Su Yu soon came to the area in the center of the city, where there was a real mixture of fish and dragons, many women in luxurious cotton clothes shuttled on the roads on both sides, and there was no trace of the situation where there were only men and female servants on the streets in history. At the same time, there are also many big men who are still wearing thin linen clothes and coarse cloth in the cold and freezing.

Hualu has an open atmosphere, and some of the so-called ladies will not stay at home, but go out shopping in beautiful clothes, if it weren't for the ancient Chinese appearance of the building, Su Yu really thought that he had arrived at a shopping mall.

Su Yu looked at the sky, and was not in a hurry to find the library, but found an inn in the center of Ningkang City, and asked for a first-class room with a heavenly name.

The shopkeeper of this inn was extremely shrewd, seeing that Su Yu was not very old, but he was generous, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet Su Yu, and took Su Yu to the second floor to find the room. After finishing, he took the initiative to unload the carriage for the jujube horse and took the luggage from the carriage to the room.

Seeing that Xiao Er was so active, Su Yu, who was sitting at the table, knew that it was time to speak, so he reached out and took out a silver coin worth ten taels from his money bag, and pushed the silver coin in front of Xiao Er, who was standing at the table with a slight bow.

"Little second brother, you have worked hard, this is a reward for you. ”

Xiao Er saw that Su Yu was so happy, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, he really didn't see the wrong person, ten taels of silver, and his salary for ten days was not so much.

"Don't worry, little second brother, I want to ask you something, if I am satisfied, how about rewarding you with ten taels?"

Seeing that Xiao Er's face was relaxed and tense, Su Yu already knew that Xiao Er was a fairly smart person.

"Young master, please don't worry, as long as I know, I will definitely know everything. Xiao Er received Su Yu's ten taels of silver, and he was very happy in his heart, and Su Yu said that he could give another ten taels.

Generally, a young man like Su Yu will call him a son, and this little er directly calls Su Yu a young master, it seems that although he has a short mouth, Xiao Er still wants to eat more.

"I'm from out of town, I heard that there is a legendary place in Ningkang City, called the Library Building, saying that it is a collection of strange books in the world, and I want to go and see it, so I want to ask the second brother if you know how to go. ”

Su Yu shook his head and took out a silver coin worth ten taels from the money bag on his waist, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at Xiao Er quietly.

Who knew that Xiao Er did not answer Su Yu, but hesitated a little, and the depressed brows were tightly squeezed together, as if he wanted to tie a dead knot in the center of his eyebrows.

"Little second brother?" Su Yu saw Xiao Er's appearance like this, and he didn't know if Xiao Er wanted to start the price temporarily.

"Fifty taels for you!"

Su Yu no longer shook his head, but simply drew a fifty-face value of silver and slapped it on the table, a pair of good-looking eyes staring at Xiao Er's somewhat funny eyebrows.

"Guest officer...... That, it's not a matter of money, I don't know much about the library, I'm afraid that telling the young master won't be of much use to the young master. Xiao Er said to Su Yu with some hesitation.

This Xiao Er is indeed a smart person, knowing that a young man can buy a news for fifty taels of silver is naturally not a small person, so he does not dare to be greedy for money, after all, if there is wealth, he must have a life to spend.

Su Yu also frowned slightly: "Tell me what you know, the money is still yours." ”

After speaking, Su Yu directly pushed the silver coin in front of Xiao Er, and it was Su Yu's character to be neat and neat.

"This ...... Young master, you ......"

"Just say it, say whatever you know, and never blame you. ”

Su Yu's already very leisurely mind was brought a little impatient by Xiao Er, and the index finger of his right hand placed on the table kept clicking on the table, making a sound of knocking on the wood.

"Young master, let's put it this way! People say that the library building is in the center of Ningkang City, but you have also seen it, the central district of the city is occupied by half of the imperial city, and I have lived here for more than 20 years. ”

Xiao Er said a lot of words, feeling that his mouth was a little dry, but he didn't dare to sit in front of Su Yu and pour a cup of tea, so he could only stretch out his tongue and lick his dry lips.

The girl sitting next to Su Yu saw Xiao Er like this, and casually pushed her cup of tea in front of Xiao Er. Because it was a little hot just now, the girl hadn't drunk that cup of tea, of course, Su Yu didn't care, but seriously thought about Xiao Er's words.

Xiao Er was a little moved, but he didn't dare to move, and cautiously waited for Su Yu's reply.

"Take a sip of tea to moisten your throat first. ”

Su Yu didn't look at Xiao Er, but he also knew that Xiao Er would definitely not be easy at this time, and it was easy to have a dry mouth in this weather.

When Xiao Er heard this, his eyes were a little surprised, but he hurriedly bowed down and thanked him: "Thank you, young master." ”

"You should thank me. ”

Seeing that Xiao Er only thanked Su Yu, the girl felt a little unhappy in her heart, pursed her lips, and snorted lightly.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!"

Xiao Er heard the girl's words, and quickly turned his head to thank the girl.

"Little thing, no thanks, sit down!"

Hearing Xiao Er's thanks, the girl obviously tasted the sweetness, and said to Xiao Er with a chuckle.

Su Yu's hand was still tapping on the tabletop, and when Xiao Er saw this, he didn't know whether the stool in front of him should be sat or not.

"Sit down. ”

Su Yu's fingers stopped, raised his head slightly, and looked at Xiao Er, who was bent over, his brows were still slightly wrinkled, although he was looking at Xiao Er, the focus of his eyes was gone.

This junior has also seen a lot of people, and after seeing Su Yu's style of doing things, he also knows that Su Yu said that he can sit there, and he can also see that Su Yu is still thinking about things.

Xiao Er didn't dare to look at Su Yu after sitting down, so he only looked down at his cotton shoes and waited for Su Yu's words.

"You shouldn't be finished yet, right?" Su Yu finally finished thinking.

"Young master, that's all Xiao Er knows, but Xiao Er knows that there is one person who knows this legendary library best. ”

Xiao Er was very shrewd, he didn't say that he knew that someone was better informed than him, he only said that he knew about the library, for fear that Su Yu would feel that he had lost money by giving him sixty or two taels.

Su Yu naturally knew, and he didn't say anything, just nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"There is a small teahouse in the west of the city, in the Twelve Mile Square of Kinmen Street, and the owner of it is an old man, this old man is very powerful, he is an unfathomable master, and it is rumored that he knows where this mysterious library is. I heard that he is still a cultivator, and his personality is a little strange, I heard that he has only seen one person, and he has never mentioned the matter of this library to outsiders after that, so even if he knows a lot of things, it may not be easy for you to get any news from him, young master. ”

Xiao Er cautiously whispered to Su Yu.

Cultivators are immortals in the eyes of people in the mortal world, although the status of cultivators in Ningkang City has been much higher than that of ordinary people, but there is still a very big gap.

Xiao Er's approach is naturally because he doesn't want others to know, and talking about a cultivator behind his back can be regarded as a taboo.

Su Yu didn't speak, just nodded and waved his hand to let Xiao Er exit the room.

"It's clearly recorded in the book, it's in the center of the city, why can't you find it?"

Su Yu had always thought that such a library building, like a library, was a landmark building in Ningkang City, but when he arrived, he found that the ordinary asking for directions had actually become a detective game.

"I don't understand. ”

The girl shook her head, jumped off the stool, kicked off her shoes and socks and was about to climb to the bed, the carriage for a long time was indeed a little tired, although it was already afternoon at this time, and it was okay to take a nap.

"Little girl, you come back for me!" Su Yu also walked to the side of the bed, holding a hot towel in his hand, "I have to take a nap without washing my face or feet." ”

While speaking, Su Yu also wiped the girl's face, and the girl said vaguely: "You woke me up in the morning, you are tired, and you have to sleep." ”
