Volume 1 The Chaos of the Peaceful Seas Chapter 34 There Are Mountains Beyond the Mountains
Pinghai Town School has always been filled with a refreshing fragrance of books. The location of the school is also intended to avoid trouble and give students a clean place.
Today, the school was still silent, and when I heard on Lingjiang Road, it turned out that Mr. Su had given the students a few days off. The reason is very simple, just because there are a lot of outsiders in the town these days, in order to prevent the children from getting involved in unnecessary trouble, let them rest at home.
Ling Jiang held the blue book and hesitated at the door of the school for a while, then plucked up the courage to walk in.
Su Qiuhe was still sitting quietly at the lectern reading a book, although Ling Jiang barely made a loud sound, but the moment he entered the school, Su Qiuhe was still aware of it.
"You're here. Su Qiuhe looked at Ling Jiang with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Sue. When Ling Jiang crossed the stone bridge, he couldn't help but find that there was an obvious scratch left on the stone bridge, which he hadn't noticed when he came two days ago.
"Sit down. Mr. Su pointed to a desk and asked Ling Jiang to sit down.
Ling Jiang was a little hesitant, but he still sat down honestly, he always felt that Mr. Su seemed to know in advance that he would come to the academy.
"Mr. Su......" Ling Jiang was just about to start, but Su Qiuhe shook his head.
He paused, then said, "How do I read the book I gave you?"
When Ling Jiang heard this, he immediately said embarrassedly, "The student has roughly flipped through some of them, and he doesn't understand them very well. ”
"Hmm. What Ling Jiang didn't expect was that Su Qiuhe nodded very gently, "Although you can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." But there are some books that you can't read without leaving home. For example, if you want to read this "Mountains and Rivers", it is absolutely impossible to read it, at least in Pinghai Town. ”
"Sir, what do you mean ......" Ling Jiang seemed to have some eyebrows.
"Let me ask you, have you ever known the world outside the town?" asked Su Qiuhe.
Ling Jiang shook his head.
"Then do you know how wide the sea is and how high it is in the nine heavens?" Su Qiuhe then asked.
Ling Jiang still shook his head, but replied, "The sea is boundless, and no one knows its end." ”
"It's just the book. Su Qiuhe said calmly, "In "Getaway", there is a fish in the North Underworld, whose name is Kun, and it turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south. The Southern Hades, the Heavenly Pond also. ”
Ling Jiang sat quietly and listened to Su Qiuhe finish reading this article, he seemed to have read it in his impression, but now he can only remember a rough idea.
"The so-called Kunpeng and the Southern Heavenly Pond are all mentioned in the book, have anyone ever seen them?" "The world is very big, not just one or two words can be described, and the knowledge learned from the book must be seen with your own eyes to understand the true meaning. ”
This question made Ling Jiang confused, Mr. Su is right, there is a golden house in the book, but who can guarantee that what is said in the book is true?
"Uncle Nine should have told you something before leaving, right?" asked Su Qiuhe.
His question immediately interrupted Ling Jiang's train of thought, and he suddenly came back to his senses, his face a little flustered.
"You don't have to be nervous. Su Qiuhe smiled, "You are the only descendant of the Ling family, if Uncle Nine wants to leave, he will naturally have some advice." As for what he said to you, you don't really need to take it personally. Although this is for your own good, the situation in the world is changing, and the chess game is undecided. ”
Su Qiuhe paused for a while, looked at Ling Jiang and asked seriously, "I said this, do you understand?"
Ling Jiang shook his head. Although I understand some of them, it is difficult to understand the true meaning of the whole sentence in a series.
Su Qiuhe said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, after you leave the town in the future and see the world outside, you will know what I mean by these words today." ”
Ling Jiang didn't know what to say, so he had to nod his head.
The academy was silent for a while, as if to let Ling Jiang think carefully about what Su Qiuhe said.
I don't know how long it took for Su Qiuhe to speak, "You came to me this time for the book in your hand, right?"
Ling Jiang had a look of surprise on his face, and he couldn't help but doubt Mr. Su's identity in his heart. Or has Mr. Su been secretly sending people to keep an eye on him?
No matter how much Ling Jiang thought about it, he couldn't come up with a reason.
"Huh. Su Qiuhe smiled, "Since I have already given this book to you, it is up to you to decide how to choose." In fact, you don't need to be too entangled, you can sell if you want to sell, and keep if you don't want to sell. ”
However, someone paid sixty taels for this book. Ling Jiang muttered in a low voice.
"Then how much do you think this book should be worth?" asked Su Qiuhe next.
Ling Jiang pondered for a moment and said honestly, "This is a book given by Mr. and is worth a thousand gold. But if you ask the price alone, I don't think it will be worth sixty taels. ”
"Now that you have the answer in your heart, why are you still hesitating?" asked Su Qiuhe.
Ling Jiang actually knew very well that what he was hesitating about was not this book, but the sky-high price of sixty taels. For now, sixty taels can change the lives of him and Ya'er for most of their lives. If this book was not given to him by Su Qiuhe, he would not hesitate to sell it, just like selling a book that day.
"You remember. Su Qiuhe said in a deep voice, "It is not others who can influence you, but yourself." I've talked a little too much today, so let's stop here. ”
When Ling Jiang heard this, he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully to Su Qiuhe.
"That's right. Su Qiuhe said, "Today is Xiaoxiao's eighteenth birthday, how about bringing Ya'er to the house for dinner tonight." ”
"This ......" Ling Jiang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's still not good, I still have guests at home, it's not very convenient." ”
"Well, you can go back. Mr. Su said.
Ling Jiang said goodbye to Su Qiuhe, let go of the burden in his heart, and left the school.
Although he didn't understand a lot of what Mr. Su said today, he could hear a sentence or two.
He vaguely felt that Mr. Su seemed to be suggesting that he should leave the town and go outside to experience the world. Moreover, he questioned what Uncle Ling Jiu said.
Uncle Ling Jiu originally wanted him to take Su Xiaoxiao to Chang'an with him, but now that he heard Mr. Su say this, he didn't seem to want him to do so.
"What did Uncle Ling Jiu ask me to go to Chang'an for?" Ling Jiang thought in his heart.
"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun...... Is there really a Kun in the North Styls? It really turned into a Peng bird and flew up nine thousand miles to migrate to the South Stygian Heavenly Pool?" Ling Jiang looked in the direction of the sea and muttered this sentence in a low voice.
If Kunpeng really exists, I'm afraid that just a feather can cover the sky of the entire Pinghai Town, right? Perhaps, even the weight of a feather can crush the town into nothingness.
