The librarian's face was covered with dust, but he didn't care at all, he didn't know how much ash he had eaten with the gold coins, and even the teeth that he showed when he laughed were like mud. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he promised Chu Tianyin on his lips, all he could see was the shining gold coin in his hand!

Chu Tianyin had long been accustomed to his appearance, and even ignored his dirty appearance, walked back again, put down the six books, and said lightly: "Old guy, this is what you said yourself." ”

"Of course, when did I break my promise?" the old man was still immersed in the joy in his heart, but after saying this, he suddenly seemed to calm down, looked at Chu Tianyin and stretched out a hand at the same time, and said solemnly: "Oh, add one more, 'I can do my best', you put forward such a big condition as letting me kill the king!"

Chu Tianyin smiled: "Knowing me for so many years, do you think I'm the kind of person who is excessive?"

"It's not. The librarian blurted out, but after a pause, he added, "But who knows, I have to leave a way for myself, right?"

Chu Tianyin didn't continue to argue with him on this meaningless topic, but pondered for a while, and suddenly said in a very steady tone: "Old guy, in fact, you have helped me a lot before, and I don't have any excessive requirements, I just want to know some things that you didn't want to tell me before, do you think you can agree to my conditions?"

The old man's whole body suddenly became serious: "What do you mean? I have to listen first." ”

"You're still so cunning. Chu Tianyin shrugged: "I always want to hear if it's beneficial to you first." ”

The old man looked innocent: "I'm just protecting myself, and people who can live to my age always have to learn this." ”

Chu Tianyin's eyes flickered slightly: "Is the south really that dangerous?"

"Is this your problem?" The old man simply looked at Chu Tianyin with one hand on his cheek: "Then I can finish paying off your favor after I finish speaking." ”

"It's just one of them. The corners of Chu Tianyin's mouth hooked up a sly smile.

The old man blurted out without thinking about it: "It's very dangerous." ”

Chu Tianyin looked at him a little helplessly: "Your answer is too perfunctory. ”

"Then you'll have to let me know how many questions you have, right? You can't finish asking me a whole bunch of questions, and then tell me to keep asking them when you remember. The old man said confidently: "I don't want to become your servant for life because of a gold coin." ”

"Cunning or you cunning. Chu Tianyin smiled: "Okay, it's just ten, this number is already very clear." ”

The old man lowered his head and thought about it, and grinned: "Deal." ”

Chu Tianyin didn't continue to talk nonsense, and asked directly: "First, you told me that the transparent stone I picked up was a test stone, but why didn't you tell me the specific test star rating?"

"There's no point in telling you, can you cultivate?" the old man looked innocent: "It's okay to let you know what it is." ”

"You're still perfunctory to me. Chu Tianyin's face showed a little annoyance.

Seeing this, the old man immediately shook his head solemnly: "This is really not, that's what I thought at the time, you know, I'm very lazy, too lazy to explain anything to others." ”

The annoyance on Chu Tianyin's face disappeared suddenly, and he sighed: "That's right, otherwise you wouldn't have been sent to a place like the library where birds don't." ”

The old man didn't dwell too much on this topic: "There are nine more." ”

Chu Tianyin nodded: "Second, since you think it doesn't make sense to tell me these things about cultivation, then why did you tell me the age limit for the academy's admissions in the first place, and ...... You also told me about the current pattern of the academy, I heard that you have been transferred to the north for almost half your life, and you still know so much about the south today?"

The old man was silent for a moment, and did not answer Chu Tianyin directly, but said first: "These are two questions. ”

Chu Tianyin didn't think about it, and immediately said, "Okay." ”

"I know the South now because my son is still in the South, and every time he comes to see me, he tells me about things that I don't interest in, even if I don't want to hear it. ”

The old guy looked helpless: "As for why you told you about the age limit for admissions in those colleges......"

At this, he suddenly fell silent.

Chu Tianyin's eyes staring at him were full of anticipation...... He has dealt with this old man for so many years, and he only has the impression of being "cunning", refusing to reveal any useful information, and no matter what he asks, he will always give himself a difficult answer.

"After all, the kingdom has agreed to your village chief's enrollment request, although I am a southerner, I have lived in the north for so many years, and I have some feelings, I don't want to see the northerners lose face. The old man looked helpless: "By the way, did the teachers from those academies come? Did they just take a child with them in the end? I have long advised you to let your village chief give up, why bother, northerners are not suitable for cultivation!"

Again, this perfunctory answer...... Chu Tianyin was already disappointed in him.

Anyway, when I gave him the gold coin, I didn't expect him to help him, so I didn't answer him, and asked directly: "The next question is still the same topic just now, is the south dangerous?"

The old man didn't care that Chu Tianyin didn't answer himself, and said directly: "It depends on what kind of person you are, if you are an aggressive and ruthless person, it will be very dangerous for you, if it is the opposite, then you are even more dangerous, southerners are not as easy-going and friendly as northerners, in their hearts, strength is everything, you have no strength and only be bullied, there is no humanity there...... I still like the North!"

Although the answer was already very detailed compared to the previous answer, in fact, he still said a bunch of things that were not nutritious, and the only thing that was nutritious was to tell Chu Tianyin that the southerners were very powerful, which was still the subjective opinion of him, an old man.

Chu Tianyin rolled his eyes, picked up the book and turned around to leave: "There are still five questions to ask you later, thank you for explaining the concept of cultivation to me back then...... Oh, by the way, I was the only one left in our village, and the rest were all recruited. ”

The old man originally looked careless, but when he heard this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then seemed to be talking to himself: "Why do everyone think about cultivation? What's so good about this harmful thing? Isn't it good to live a peaceful life without anyone else disturbing you?"

There were only the two of them in the quiet library, and even though his voice was very small, it was still captured by Chu Tianyin.

Chu Tianyin stopped and said, "It's good, but people always have to pursue something, what is the difference between not dreaming and salted fish?"

The old man tilted his head disappreciatively.

Chu Tianyin's words were not finished: "The premise of your peace and security is that no one is looking for you to do anything and bullying you, in fact, isn't cultivation just to make yourself stronger so that you will not be bullied?"

This time, the old man answered, he poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and lay back down: "There have always been people who can bully you, and the stronger you become, the stronger people will bully you." ”

"All things are negative yin and embrace yang. Chu Tianyin's voice was very calm: "Everything in the world has good aspects, and naturally there are bad aspects, and the position is the same everywhere." ”

The old man who had just lay down was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This is like a summary sentence in a book, which book?"

"I Ching. Chu Tianyin's voice fell, and the sound of the door closing sounded in the library.

The old man got up and asked, "Hey, wait, what kind of book is this, why haven't I read it?"

Chu Tianyin had already left, and no one outside answered, the old man seemed to want to stand up and get rid of the chase, but he didn't know why, after a pause, he shook his head helplessly, grabbed the wine bag and poured a sip of wine fiercely, and lay down again.

......

As soon as he got out of the library, Chu Tianyin couldn't wait to open one of the books and read it, he didn't have much foundation in architecture, but if he wanted to design houses for the villagers, he naturally needed some sufficient foundation.

He walked while looking down at a book without feeling any worries, no one walked on this road except him, so he didn't have to worry about bumping into people, and he had been reading like this all year round, and the surrounding buildings had long been aware of it, and he didn't have to worry about hitting something.

Even though it was close to dusk, it couldn't affect Chu Tianyin's heart of reading books.

In this way, Chu Tianyin was also immersed in the ocean of knowledge while hurrying back, and he didn't know how long he had been walking, when suddenly a crisp voice interrupted his contemplation.

"Big brother...... I'm going to eat!"

Chu Tianyin turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a little girl dressed in plain clothes with rustic braids, but her facial features were very delicate, staring at her with a pair of big watery eyes.

The little girl was only the tip of Chu Tianyin's nose, her restrained movements seemed a little stiff, she looked like she wanted to get close to Chu Tianyin but felt scared, hiding behind a big tree and watching secretly with half of her body exposed.

When she saw Chu Tianyin looking at her, she shrank her neck in fright.

Chu Tianyin's expressionless face suddenly showed a little smile, he didn't approach the girl directly, but smiled at her and said, "Li Miaowen, long time no see." ”

As soon as she heard Chu Tianyin call out her name, the little girl's eyes immediately lit up, she no longer had the scared look she had before, she jumped out from behind the big tree excitedly, and smiled cleanly...... A flower.

But Chu Tianyin frowned slightly, and suddenly approached her quickly, staring closely at the handful of grass still with dirt in her hand......

The next moment, I saw the little girl smirking and stuffing the mud-stained grass into her mouth, and she looked excited while stuffing it: "It's delicious! I want to eat!!"
