Volume 1 Wen Dao Qianqing Chapter 26 Painstaking Reading
A few months later, the inner hall of the Void Pole Palace. A haggard-faced man sat in a mountain of books, muttering words.
There are still one or two thin books on the shelves, and the books on the floor are scattered, wrinkled, and, most surprisingly, wet...... Li Qingchen couldn't remember how long he had been reading, and he had been filled with a sense of urgency since he learned from Lei Bingruo that Master had gone to Yunyou and was about to return to the mountain.
Although Li Qingchen was desperately eager to get out of this inner hall, looking at the books on the shelves, he was powerless to give up the little struggle in his heart.
"Just let me die......" When Li Qingchen shouted this sentence a few months ago, he was just in time for Mo Ru to deliver the meal, so Li Qingchen was nagged fiercely for a morning.
It wasn't until Li Qingchen knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and swore in the name of his father Li Yunshan that he would finish the things that the master had explained, that Mo Ru was satisfied with the food box and Shi Shiran returned to Zizhu Palace.
At this time, Mo Ru was no better than when she first went up the mountain, and three months ago, the palace master of Zizhu Palace held a grand ceremony for the return of her eldest disciple. The elders on Qianqing Mountain all participated in the ceremony, including the second elder Lin Zeyan, who woke up from a serious injury.
Although Mo Ru was not as good as other junior sisters, she had a gentle and supple personality, and she became the most popular senior sister in Zizhu Palace in a short time.
Therefore, in the next few months, Li Qingchen only read and read books desperately, and even learned to recite in some places. To Li Qingchen's surprise, every time he went to the Sword Pavilion and came back, he would find that his reading speed would become faster, and then he simply stayed in the inner hall during the day, and passed through the wall at night to read in the Sword Pavilion.
In the first month, he made rapid progress, he read all the books on the entire shelf, he was ecstatic, and every night he would call Ji Yao and Lihuo out to chat for a while, and then read the books. However, the good times did not last long, and strange things happened.
Li Qingchen not only can't read books, but once he touches the book, he will have a headache.
No, he had to go to the Sword Pavilion at night to watch. During the day, he rested in the inner hall, and when Mo Ru or Lei Bing were to come, he would sit in front of the pile of books and pretend to be reading.
It wasn't until one night, when Li Qingchen was about to go to the Sword Pavilion again, that he found that the second bookshelf was full, as if it had never been touched by him. At that time, there was only about a month left before the day when Master returned to the mountain.
"Big cold face, it's over, I may not be able to get out of this Void Pole Palace, the books on the second bookshelf are too evil, I was good before, why do I suddenly have a headache when I touch it?" Li Qingchen lay on the ground in the Sword Pavilion Cave and said sullenly.
"It's not that you are in a hurry to use the aura of the Sword Pavilion to read?I have advised you, you read the book slowly, three years and five years, how good is it to finish reading and leaving the palace...... You have to behave in front of your master, who is to blame?" Ji Yao floated in the air at this time, with a thick mockery in his tone.
"I know it's wrong, how did I know that I was absorbing the aura of the Sword Pavilion...... With a cold face, are you really helpless?" Li Qingchen turned his head and looked at Ji Yao pitifully.
"What can I do......?
Just when one person and one spirit were depressed, a fiery red python head came out and turned into a young man in red.
"Hey, Brother Qingchen, you weren't even studying, what were you doing lying on the ground? Didn't you say you would finish reading before your master came back?"
"Xiao Li, where have you been these days? We searched all over the Sword Pavilion, but we couldn't find you. Li Qingchen jumped up, touched Lihuo's head, and did not answer my words about Lihuo, but asked with concern.
"yes, where have you been?" hmm, but the cultivation has increased a little......" Ji Yao looked at it for a long time, and said slightly.
Lihuo lowered his head embarrassedly: "Let you worry, I was actually bored here, so I walked around Qianqing Mountain, somehow, I got lost, and then I smelled the fragrance, and I fainted there...... When I woke up, I hurried back. ”
"You ......" Li Qingchen was speechless, he couldn't wait to knock on Lihuo's head at this time to see what was inside, and he could increase his cultivation after sleeping, was this reasonable?
"Sleep, you said you smelled the scent, what is it?" asked Ji Yao.
"I can't say it either, it's kind of like the smell of the meat you roasted that night, but with a little floral aroma...... I can't tell. Lihuo pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"Talker, you're saved!" said with certainty.
"Huh?
"Yes, this is a kind of flower that Xiao Li said, called Dragon Incense, this kind of incense can transform aura and increase the cultivation of demons. Ji Yao paused and said: "Although you are not a demon, at least you can transform the aura, so that you don't have a headache, maybe there will be unexpected effects." ”
"With this baby, don't you say it earlier, Xiaoli, can you still find that place?" asked Li Qingchen.
Lihuo shook his head, he didn't know how he came back just now, and now it was too difficult for him to go back and find it.
"It's okay, you stay here for a while, I'll go with Xiaoli to find it. With that, he floated towards the cave wall.
Lihuo looked at Li Qingchen and said, "Brother Qingchen, wait for us to come back......"
"Okay, you guys go, I, Li Qingchen, will hand over my life to you two. Li Qingchen waved his hand and continued to lie down.
After an unknown time, when Li Qingchen's saliva flowed all over the book cover without reservation, he was woken up.
Li Qingchen tried hard to open his hazy eyes and wiped the corners of his mouth before he could see what Lihuo was holding in his hand.
"This is the dragon incense, you can eat it directly. Ji Yao said.
"Good. Li Qingchen was also neat, picked up the dragon incense and stuffed it into his mouth, he chewed for a while, and a painful expression appeared on his face. He swallowed it with difficulty, and before he had time to pick up the mountain spring water handed over from the fire, he said: "Da Leng face, what kind of dragon incense is this, why is it so smelly, didn't you say incense?!"
"Brother Qingchen, it's very fragrant......" Lihuo argued in a low voice.
"It's very fragrant, Xiaoli, you won't be spoiled by the cold face, this is obviously a smelly smell, like a latrine...... Li Qingchen said bitterly, he wanted to vomit at this time, but he heard a faint voice:
"This dragon incense itself is not something that can be eaten directly by humans, and this thing can only exert its greatest effect in the demon clan. Letting you take it is just a measure of rights and interests, and you don't know if you don't get cheap......" Ji Yao said coldly, ignoring Li Qingchen's painful and pitiful expression.
"Hah...... Haha, you said it earlier, big cold face, don't be angry......" Li Qing hurriedly ran to Ji Yao's side, pretending to beat his back and pinch his shoulders, and kept flattering.
"Hmph. "Don't look over your head and ignore Li Qingchen.
"Okay, okay, it's me who is wrong, look at the embarrassment from the fire, I know that you must have encountered some difficulties, I shouldn't blame you, Da Leng face, just forgive me this time......" Li Qingchen gradually felt that his body was full of strength at this time, and he was busy apologizing to Ji Yao.
"Okay, okay, this time it's mainly by leaving the fire, otherwise, you will be hurt to death by this Sword Pavilion aura!" Ji Yao waved his hand and motioned for Li Qingchen to hurry up and study, don't waste time.
Li Qingchen also hurriedly picked up the book, and it was really amazing, it really didn't hurt, and he felt that his physical strength was sufficient, and his eyes were much sharper than before.
"Thank you, really, I, Li Qingchen, have a friend like you, I am really fortunate to have three lives. Li Qingchen said slowly.
"Brother Qingchen, you keep talking about friends, what is a friend?" asked Lihuo with a dirty little face.
Li Qingchen touched Lihuo's head with one hand, and said: "A friend is the person who will pay for you no matter what, and the person you are willing to treat like this." I can't say too many characteristics, in short, just like you, like the second baby!"
"Oh......" Lihuo lowered his head, thought, and only responded in a low voice.
"Don't pretend to understand, don't hurry up and read your books, don't forget, there's a full bookshelf outside. Ji Yao reminded.
"Okay, okay, I know, Da Leng Face, you are talking more and more now......" Li Qingchen muttered as he picked up "The Essentials of Demon Extermination" and watched it.
Since that night, Li Qingchen has never entered the Sword Pavilion again, he took the Dragon Riding Incense, although the pain at that time was indescribable, he did benefit a lot. He sat in the inner sanctum, opened a book he had read, and could clearly show the scene he was reading, and then the fragment he needed.
The books in the second bookshelf gradually decreased, including the very thick "Four Words of Heavenly Machines", which he quickly finished. Although there are many things, Li Qingchen still doesn't understand, but he has indeed improved, opening a book every day like a habit, reading a book like a habit, and unconsciously a month of time is about to pass.
Although he learned the method of resting, he also had the dragon incense. But reading every day and night, Li Qingchen's face gradually became haggard, sometimes, when Mo Ru came to deliver food, he would be distressed to persuade Li Qingchen, telling him not to be in a hurry, reading is not an overnight thing, don't hurt the foundation of cultivation because of this.
Li Qingchen just smiled and didn't answer. Because the more he reads, the more he understands the meaning of the Word.
If you promise someone something, even if it is to pay for your life, you must achieve it.
If you decide to do something, you can't look ahead and look backwards.
If you keep looking for reasons to escape from the unknown, the terrible fear, the result can only be harm.
A month's time is really over today, Li Qingchen has just finished eating the meal sent by Mo Ru, recovering some of his complexion, watching Mo Ru gradually leave the Void Pole Palace, he is about to finish reading the last bit of the book, and then rest for a while.
He suddenly heard a thick bell from the mountain, and he knew that this was a signal for Master to return to the mountain, and he knew that this was also a sign that he was going to gather people to talk about things.
It seems that I can't sleep this night. Li Qingchen thought to himself.
