Chapter 4 Book Building

After getting up for breakfast, Lin Xin went to the library to read a book as usual.

The outside world is very big, and in Lin Xin's heart, he is very eager to go out and have a look, and it would be even better if he could find his parents. Because when he came to Shangguan's house, he was still young. Memories of before arriving here are blurry.

Although the past is a foggy flower, not very clear, but the separation in the escape, the mother's tears at the time of parting. made Lin Xin sad and sad in his heart, and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time when he arrived at Shangguan's house.

Over the years, staying in Shangguan's house, the head of the family, Shangguan Lan, has already regarded him as his son. Lin Xin could also feel their affection for licking, so he was grateful to the Shangguan family in his heart.

The children of the Shangguan family have an absolutely relaxed and happy childhood. I don't have much homework, and I don't have to do much other than my daily reading. But when it comes to the coming-of-age ceremony, it will be a sea change. You must be familiar with all the economic and trade matters in your home, and at the same time, your practice is extremely demanding. Although the coming-of-age ceremony is near, these young people do not know it. Because, the coming-of-age ceremony is a group of children of similar age, not a definite age.

Lin Xin's most interesting thing is to read books in the library and play in the back mountain. For a child, novelty always has a strange magic that makes them yearn for it. The Shangguan family has a large collection of books, including business, etiquette, self-cultivation, and poetry. There are also many strange essays, different aspirations, anecdotes, and miscellaneous discussions on practice. Most of the classes on weekdays are among the former, and I don't want Lin Xin to like the strange 'obscene' skills in the back more.

It's still early, and there are very few people in the bookstore. The Shangguan family has a large number of people, and so are the descendants. There is its own school, and there is also a building with a collection of books. They are all members of their own clan who come here.

Lin Xin has long been very familiar with the library, and in Shizuka Garden, there are mostly common ordinary books, and what you read and learn is textual things. There are no books here, but there are many strange things, swords, antiques, jewelry...... The Shangguan family collected all kinds of things outside, even the map of the Southern Regions, the remains of fierce beasts, and other things.

Lin Xin entered the Jingxiang Garden and skillfully walked to the study in the west side of the courtyard, where he had saved his unfinished books a few days ago.

"The Tantric Records of the Northern Regions" is a book of essays written by a person called the self-named "Three Unknowns", which records a secret sect called the Wuhuang Sect in the Northern Regions. At first, when Lin Xin saw the name of the person who wrote the book, he laughed and hurt his stomach, and he didn't know? Is this a person's name? Definitely not. This person must have written it on purpose, but it's a bit too cheesy.

I only saw this book a few days ago, and it talks about some of the secret history of the Wuhuang faction. Lin Xin was already curious about this, and originally planned to read it in one go, but he didn't want to go wrong halfway, so he came to continue reading it today. I gradually understood that this secret history of the Witch Emperor Sect was actually a hodgepodge of "Northern Regions Tantric Records". After reading it, Lin Xin was still unsatisfied, and went to look for other volumes, not wanting to gain nothing.

"I knew you were here. Just as Lin Xin was about to look for other books, Shangguan Minghao's hehey voice suddenly came from the door, "Lin Xin, every time you are so early, in our family, you are the most diligent." ”

"Minghao, you came just in time. Before Shangguan Minghao came over and patted him on the shoulder, Lin Xin couldn't wait to pull his sleeve and asked, "You don't have a lot of time in the study, do you know the book "Northern Regions Tantric Records"?"

Shangguan Minghao looked curious, "What kind of book is this?" Is it a book in our library? Why don't I know? You let me see it. After a few questions, Lin Xin was suddenly disappointed.

"Well, that's the book. Lin Xin gave Shangguan Minghao a look and pointed to the book on the table.

Ming Hao picked up the book and said he didn't know it while reading: "I really haven't seen this before, I don't usually read this kind of book." Flipping through a few pages, Shangguan Minghao became even more affirmative.

"Three don't know?" he suddenly wondered, "Lin Xin, what is San Don't know?" Shangguan Minghao pointed to the three words under the title of the book.

Hehe, facing Shangguan Minghao's question, Lin Xin laughed in his heart. If you don't read the book carefully, you may not be able to guess that Sandon't know is the pen name of the writer. It is reasonable to make Shangguan Minghao have such an expression.

Holding back a smile, Lin Xin explained: "This should be the author's name." ”

"Names? Shangguan Minghao still looked puzzled. But he said: "Lin Xin, what are you doing with this book? These books are all romance stories, and they can't be taken seriously." ”

"I don't know if it's a romance story, anyway, it's a story about the Northern Regions...... "The Northern Regions, a place outside the Southern Regions, in the north of the Southern Regions, have a broader area. From the beginning of being sensible, the Northern Regions seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to Lin Xin. Because Lin Xin knew that his parents had escaped from the Northern Regions.

"Lin Xin, don't care too much. When you grow up, you'll definitely go to the North. When the time comes, will I go with you?" Between the two friends, Shangguan Minghao understood the reason why Lin Xin was concerned about the Northern Regions.

"Lin Xin, do you know that these Heavenly Sisters are coming back?" Looking at Lin Xin's expression, Shangguan Minghao wisely changed the topic.

"Cher is back, how do you know?"

"When I went back last night, my mother told me. She went to her grandfather's house for a few days, and she didn't know why she came back so soon. This mother didn't mention it. Behind it was Shangguan Minghao's self-talk.

Thinking of Xue'er, a playmate together, Lin Xin's heart moved slightly. Although Xue'er is a woman, she is very compatible with him, and she is very close on weekdays.

"Minghao, I have something to ask you. Lin Xin's words changed.

"What's the matter?" Shangguan Minghao said.

"Do you know about the coming-of-age ceremony of the Shangguan family? I recently heard that the Shangguan family is going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, do you know?" Lin Xin heard someone talk about it a few days ago.

"Isn't this a coming-of-age ceremony! Isn't it a ceremony of our Shangguan family? It's for us......" Shangguan Minghao explained to Lin Xin for a while, and said at the end: "By the way, it stands to reason that the coming-of-age ceremony of our generation is not far away." Lin Xin, where did you hear about this?"

"A few days ago, I heard people in the backyard talk about building a platform or something. ”

"Ahh That's for sure. Shangguan Minghao suddenly said: "I'll just say, the family must be busy with this again." No wonder I heard my father talk about setting up a stage in the back mountain, so that's the case. ”

"Minghao, what is like this?" Lin Xin is an old man, but he has not yet reached the age of dancing spoons. And it has only been a few years since he came to Shangguan's house, and many Shangguan's family affairs are not very clear.

"My Shangguan house is built on the mountain, and the north is Zhongling Mountain. Shangguan Minghao stared at Lin Xin and said.

"Well, I know that. ”

"My Shangguan family calls the mountain range behind the back mountain, which is different from what outsiders say. Shangguan Minghao continued to explain.

"I've heard this before. ”

"Although the back mountain is a part of Zhongling Mountain, it is not as good as what if. He just happened to be next to Zhongling Mountain. So it's a mountain of my Shangguan family, and outsiders are not allowed to enter it. Shangguan Minghao stared at Lin Xin.

"Of course, the Shangguan family has such strength. ”

"Then the mountain has the secret of my Shangguan family. Shangguan Minghao suddenly approached Lin Xin, and his voice became low. After speaking, he also glanced out the door from time to time.

"Well, each family should have its own secrets. Lin Xin was not so curious as to take the initiative to inquire about other people's secrets. And most importantly, he understood that Shangguan Minghao would take the initiative to say it.

Sure enough, he didn't hear Lin Xin's voice of inquiry, but Shangguan Minghao hurriedly said: "Do you want to know? I told you, don't tell my father and mother." You know, I treat you as your best friend. ”

"Uh, Minghao. Since this is your family's secret, you better not tell me. ”

Shangguan Minghao's voice became louder: "How can this work? We are good friends, and there is no secret that cannot be said." He paused suddenly, "It's just that the elders and uncles don't allow us to talk about these things." ”

Lin Xin was amused in his heart, although Ming Hao was two years older than me, he was more than two years younger than me in terms of dealing with people. I deliberately teased him just now, and he was completely revealed.

"Well, you told me, and I won't tell anyone else. Lin Xin said to Shangguan Minghao seriously.

"Hmm. That's fine. Shangguan Minghao turned around and looked out at the door, seeing that there was no one on the left and right, and quietly ran to the left and right sides to push the door shut.

"In the back mountain of our Shangguan family, the most important secret of our family is hidden. I heard that there is a white cloud cave there, which contains our powerful magic weapons, as well as many rare treasures, and it seems that there are elixirs. Shangguan Minghao said cautiously, as if he was afraid that others would hear it.

"Aren't there also in these hundred mountain buildings?"

"It's different, the things in Baishanlou are all ordinary things, and the ones in Baiyun Cave in Houshan are real treasures. ”

"So we play in the back mountains on weekdays, why don't we see Baiyun Cave?" Lin Xin and others spend a lot of time playing in the back mountains on weekdays, and they don't see any caves anywhere, and they are puzzled.

"This can't be compared, we are in the back mountain on weekdays, such as the Wild Villa Pavilion and the waterfall, and the Baiyun Cave has to be on the top of the mountain. There are clan masters guarding there, and it seems that the three elders are also practicing in the cave. And we can't go there. "Shangguan Minghao has a lot of insight from his parents' conversations.

"Then what does Houshan have to do with the coming-of-age ceremony?"
