Sword knocks the door of heaven

Chapter 11 The Book Thief

"Mr. Big, are you going back?"

The white-haired old man wanted to reprimand the young man who didn't read well, but was stopped by a middle-aged man who was walking towards him.

"It's Ji Zhen, why do you have time to visit this dilapidated library?"

The middle-aged man had a good face, but the old man still had a straight face.

"Mr. Big has really discouraged me. These days, Yunxiao has been accepting new ideas, and many new disciples have arrived. I am also a manager after all, so there are more things to do."

"Looking at you, Yunxiaoguan has recruited a lot of good seedlings this time."

"There is a good student with high-grade immortal veins and a flexible mind. I have already asked him to read "Yunxiao Naling Jing". He has read two chapters in one month, and his aptitude is not bad."

"Read two chapters in January?" The white-haired old man's eyes lit up, and then he squinted and smiled: "Ji Zhen, you have found a treasure, you must buy a good meal."

"Bring it!"

The middle-aged man patted a big gourd on his waist.

The white-haired old man, who was so bored and wanted to go downstairs, turned around and followed the middle-aged man upstairs without saying a word, even forgetting to reprimand Li Yunsheng.

Li Yunsheng didn't notice the episode here at all, and kept his head buried in the book until the sun went down.

His method of reading books is still the same as before. First, he scans the book roughly, writes down the contents of the book one by one, and then goes home to "chew slowly". He is not rich like he was in his hometown, borrowing books is too expensive, and it is not allowed to watch the time slowly here, so this is the only way.

However, his "blush" was a bit unnecessary, because throughout the ages, there were not many people who read books like this to him.

"Your name is Li Yunsheng?"

Just as Li Yunsheng was stuffing a book he had just finished reading on the shelf, a boy with a long face walked up to him.

"Yes."

Although the young man was unfamiliar, Li Yunsheng still nodded.

Strangely, after hearing Li Yunsheng's answer, the boy sneered and left.

Puzzled, Li Yunsheng looked at the back of the boy leaving, tilted his head in confusion, and finally shook his head.During these days, because of his "bright Dao Xin" and the thousand-year-old flowering locust tree, there were quite a few people who came to Baiyun to watch him, but seeing Li Yunsheng's ordinary appearance, most of them were either disappointed or disappointed. He returned with a sneer, but Li Yunsheng didn't take it to heart, a few senior brothers lost their temper with Yang Wanli, and once the third senior brother Li Changgeng took a pole and stood at the foot of the mountain to drive away the crowd who came to watch the theater , The number of people who came later gradually decreased.

"Then Senior Sister Chuchu, did you go out with Second Senior Brother?"

Seeing that the person sitting at the front desk at the door was replaced by a gentle young man, and Li Lan was nowhere to be seen, Li Yunsheng wondered in his heart.

Without thinking too much, he borrowed the "Legend of Monster Slaying" for Li Changgeng, refunded the deposit for reading the book, and prepared to walk out the door.

""Woooo...Wow!

But before he walked ten steps away from the gate, a big white dog rushed out from nowhere and rushed towards Li Yunsheng fiercely.

Before Li Yunsheng could react, he was thrown to the ground viciously by the vicious dog.

"Okay, Xiaobai, bring him here.

Just as the fangs of the giant dog were about to bite Li Yunsheng's neck, the gentle man sitting at the counter at the door put down the bookkeeping pen in his hand and yelled at the big white dog. Biting and dragging Li Yunsheng into the building again.

"Get up, book thief, Xiaobai won't really hurt you."

The gentle man glanced at Li Yunsheng with some disgust.

"The book thief?"

The disgraced Li Yunsheng glanced at the big dog in front of him with lingering fear, and looked at the gentle man in surprise.

"If you hadn't stolen the book from the building, Xiaobai wouldn't have bitten you, bring it!"

The gentle man stretched out his hand towards Li Yunsheng.

"Book? What book? I only borrowed one copy of "Legend of Demon Slaying""

Li Yunsheng handed the borrowed book in his hand to the gentlemanly man.

"I really don't cry without seeing the coffin."

The gentle man snorted again, then went straight to Li Yunsheng, reached out his hand to his waist, and took out a booklet.

"what is this?"

Seeing the booklet in the man's hand, Li Yunsheng was stunned. He was very sure that he did not take it by himself.He quickly thought of the boy who had just asked himself if his name was "Li Yunsheng". The only possibility he could think of was that this person put the book on him, but what Li Yunsheng couldn't figure out was: why would he do this?
"What's the matter, noisy."

At this time, some disciples who were reading books on the first floor gathered together, and even the white-haired old man and the middle-aged man who had been drinking upstairs came down.

"Tell the two masters and uncles that this wild boy who doesn't know where he came from actually dared to steal books in the Yellow Crane Tower, and was caught by Xiaobai."

Seeing these two gentlemen, the expression of the gentle man immediately became extremely courteous.

"It's you?" The white-haired old man recognized Li Yunsheng, who was the disciple he saw when he went downstairs and didn't read seriously.

"No wonder you lost a book just now, so you were looking for a book to start with!"

"Mr. Big knows this kid?"

The middle-aged man looked at Li Yunsheng with interest and said.

"Hmph, just before I met you, I saw this kid keep taking books from the bookshelf. He is not a serious reader at all."

Li Yunsheng didn't know why the old man in front of him, but after hearing what the old man said, he immediately understood that his way of reading books would indeed look like this in the eyes of outsiders, but he couldn't explain it.

Li Yunsheng, who couldn't refute for a while, could only remain silent.

"Come, come, let me see which book you picked after so long. If you have a good eye, I can consider having someone break your arm at that time."

I don't know if it was because of drinking some wine that the white-haired old man actually became playful.

"It's Yunyangzi's "Baixi Thatched Cottage Notes"."

The gentle man handed it to the white-haired old man respectfully.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at stealing. This is an orphan and should be able to exchange a hundred catties of immortal food."

The old man sneered at Li Yunsheng.

"I've also read Yunyangzi's notebook. He's very talented and bearing an extraordinary spirit. If it's a single copy, it's really worth the price. The books on this floor are not worth as much as those here. The kid has a good eye."

The middle-aged man on the side didn't know whether he was sincerely applauding or ironic.

These books in the Yellow Crane Tower are usually kept in the building, but if they are taken out, even in this Qinglian Immortal Mansion, each book is expensive.

"This broken book is worth a hundred catties of immortal food?? If I really wanted to steal it, I wouldn't steal this one either."

Li Yunsheng really doesn't know what is an orphan or not, but he happened to read this book today, and he didn't think it was a good book, on the contrary, he was very disgusted.

"The tone is arrogant, tell me, why is this book broken?"

The white-haired old man sneered.

"Yeah, it's the first time I've heard someone dare to say that about Yunyangzi's book. I don't know if you are really ignorant or have some knowledge?"

The middle-aged man was also laughing aside.

With all the stolen goods in front of them, they are not in a hurry to deal with Li Yunsheng.

"I really don't know if this "Notes of the Baixi Thatched Cottage" is an isolated copy, but after reading it, I found that it is nothing more than a flattery to the Dao of Heaven from beginning to end, such as the 'Conservation of Destiny' theory on page No.20..."

I don’t know if it’s because I read too many books today, but the more Li Yunsheng talked, the more excited he became. Not only did he use the content of this "Notes of Baixi Caotang" itself, but he also cited many books he read today as evidence. My own opinion, narrated with clear logic, does not seem to be something that can be uttered from the mouth of a teenager.

The white-haired old man and the middle-aged man looked at each other, and the two of them seemed to be completely drunk at this time.

"Then if you wanted to steal, which one would you steal?"

The middle-aged man first glanced at the white-haired old man, then stared at Li Yunsheng and said.

"Although I haven't read all the books on this floor, the most valuable book I think should be the "Yuxuzi Shuoxuanweijing". This book is a bit strange. It reads like I was listening to Yu Xuzi's drunken gibberish. It took me a long time to read it, but after I read it, I realized that the drunken gibberish at the beginning of the article was really word-for-word. What I admire most is Yuxuzi. Xuzi's attitude towards Tiandao, I read thousands of articles on this floor, but most of them are just flattery to Tiandao, only this one is different, the first chapter scolds Tiandao, the middle part argues with Tiandao, and the latter part says that although Obscure, but it can be seen that Yu Xuzi has found a way to live with the heaven, even..."

Speaking of this, Li Yunsheng did not continue, but raised his head to look at the white-haired old man and the middle-aged man, "Yu Xuzi is really a great seeker of Taoism. He should be the only true person among the many monks who wrote books on this floor."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, he saw the white-haired old man raised his head and laughed loudly like Hong Zhong.

"You go."

The middle-aged man also smiled and waved to Li Yunsheng.

……

"The two senior uncles, I still don't understand. The book is on him. Just because of his nonsense, the two senior uncles let him go without punishment. In the future, I am afraid that they will open a prison for other senior brothers." Bad head."

Looking at Li Yunsheng's leaving back, the gentle man asked with a puzzled frown.

"Didn't you realize that he just memorized "Baixi Thatched Cottage Notes" almost verbatim? Why would he steal it if he could memorize it?"

The middle-aged man glared at the gentle man with hatred.

"Oh, I actually forgot to ask which blessed land that little baby is a disciple of."

The white-haired old man slapped his head and said.

"It's a newly recruited disciple of Baiyun Temple, named Li Yunsheng."

This time, the gentle man reacted quickly.

"White Cloud Temple?!"

"Could it be the legendary disciple who possesses a clear mind?"

The middle-aged man suddenly remembered the strife incident that had been raging a few days ago.

"It shouldn't be wrong."

"That is to say, this little baby, today is the first time to come to the Yellow Crane Tower?"

"In one day, not only did you read most of the books on the first floor, but you still memorized them all in your head?"

The white-haired old man and the middle-aged man looked at each other again.

"However, it is said that this little baby's celestial vein is a rootless celestial vein...it's a pity."

"But letting him stay in Baiyunguan and do farm work with a group of peasants is really wasteful."

The white-haired old man suddenly developed a love for talents.

"This is said to be what that person meant, and there is no rooted celestial vein. Baiyun Temple may be the best place to go. Even if he can't practice, two catties of celestial food per month is enough to prolong his life by a year." The middle-aged man looked at him. The white-haired old man said, "However, the lifespan of six years is nothing more than a passing cloud to those of us cultivators. Even if you can break the way of heaven, the way of heaven can make time kill you easily."

"Alas...it's a pity to lose a good seedling."

The white-haired old man let out a long sigh, and then the two went upstairs again.
