Chapter 46: Zi Lin's Noon at Fangcaolou
Stepping onto the 701st floor of Wentian Pavilion, Elder Mingzong finally slowed down and began to rummage through the classics on the bookshelves.
While he was rummaging around, he lightly stamped his feet. There were rules in Wentian Pavilion. Once you entered, you must not use any exercises. This rule was preserved when Wentian Pavilion was built, and even the sect leaders of all generations must abide by it.
No, it depends entirely on the strength of the body to climb so high. No matter how high Elder Mingzong's cultivation is, he still can't bear it at his age. Now his legs are sore and numb, making him very uncomfortable.
In order to make it easier to search after entering Wentian Pavilion, the books in the pavilion have been classified, and the bookshelf pallets on which each book is placed are engraved with a brief introduction. Elder Ming Zong looked through them one by one, but did not find what he wanted.
So he walked to the stairs and continued going up.
Fangcao Xiaoge, Zheng Qiu, Grandpa and Yunyou had dinner together. Of course, Grandpa and Yunyou ate normal rice, while Zheng Qiu still ate herbs.
After eating so much ambrosia, he has gradually become accustomed to the bitter taste of the herbs, but putting the herbs with rice, meat, and vegetables on the same table still makes him unable to take off his chopsticks.
Zheng Qiu picked up the herbs in the bowl and stared at the food on the table eagerly, stretching his neck. When grandpa saw him like this, he quickly put some vegetables into the rice bowl, and then took all the dishes on the table into the kitchen.
.
Yunyou shrugged and sighed: "Zheng Qiu, it's not that I won't feed you. You have to learn the exercises and now you have to get through this." After saying that, she took the rice bowl into her arms, moved her wheelchair and hid in the room.
Go and eat.
Zheng Qiu felt depressed, blaming himself for not being able to resist the temptation. He finally had time to eat together, but was disturbed by him. He picked up a chopstick full of herbs and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it hard, and lost his breath.
to these herbs.
The next day, Zheng Qiu came to Fangcao Tower as usual. He shouted here and there, but he never heard the master's answer.
Hey, where did the master go? He climbed up the dry cloud ladder and looked for it layer by layer, from top to bottom, but there was no sign of the master. Strangely, the master didn't say there would be no class today. Could it be?
Something happened temporarily.
Zheng Qiu didn't dare to leave. He was afraid that if he left with his front leg, the master would come, so he sat on the steps in front of the gate of Fangcao Building, took out his chopsticks and practiced folding with his fingers.
The sun gradually moved closer to the center of the sky. When Zheng Qiu wanted to leave the steps and go into the building to hide from the sun, the sound of flying lights was heard in the sky. He looked up and saw a faint blue stream of light, not the master.
The strange thing is that this stream of light turned around and flew directly towards Fangcao Tower instead of passing by.
Phew, the stream of light fell at the gate. Before Zheng Qiu could see clearly who was in the light, he felt his hair blowing by his ears, and then a wave of air hit his face. Zheng Qiu had already eaten up such a sudden wave of air.
More than once, he hurriedly fell to the ground and rolled behind the door panel as fast as he could.
With a crash, the air wave hit the air and rushed directly into the hall, flying the tea seat inside and smashing it against the wall. Seeing that the tables and chairs were smashed into pieces of wood, Zheng Qiu stuck out his tongue, and he knew without guessing that this move
It must be the girl who threw him the cloud charm.
What's that girl's name? It seems that the master calls her Zi Lin.
While Zheng Qiu was still reminiscing, he noticed that his back collar was grabbed, and then a huge force came and dragged him out from behind the door panel.
"Come out! Why are you hiding?" Mingkong Zilin dragged Zheng Qiu to the middle of the hall like a rag doll, "I didn't expect you to actually come here. Where is old man Mingzong?"
"Uh...uh..."
"Uh-huh, what are you talking about?" Mingkong Zilin shook Zheng Qiu and found that he rolled his eyes and kept grabbing his neck.
She took a closer look and saw that it was she who was holding on to her collar, strangling her to the point of losing her strength. Mingkong Zilin was startled and quickly let go of her hand.
With a thud, Zheng Qiu collapsed on the ground like a salted fish, gasping for air with his mouth open.
Mingkong Zilin raised her foot and kicked Zheng Qiu with the toe of her shoe: "Hey, hello? Don't scare people! Hey!"
Huh, hoh, Zheng Qiu finally breathed in the fresh air, gasped dozens of times, and his flushed face finally returned to normal. He slowly sat up and looked up at the person standing, and it turned out to be that girl.
"Where's old man Mingzong? Could it be that he couldn't grow the medicine as well as you and ran away on his own?"
Zheng Qiu sat on the ground and kept shrinking back, and stammered in reply: "Master, master is not here, and I, I don't know, where he has gone."
Only then did Mingkong Zilin see the blue clouds embroidered on Zheng Qiu's clothes: "Old man Mingzong actually accepted you as his apprentice! This is really strange."
Then she giggled loudly: "Hahaha, old man Mingzong is so stupid. He is so stupid to accept a disciple with no cultivation at all. Hahaha, the master is stupid, so stupid."
"You, you can't say that to master, master..."
Mingkong Zilin suddenly stopped smiling and approached Zheng Qiu with her hands on her hips: "No, what? Do you have any objections?"
Just as Zheng Qiu was about to stand up, he sat down on the ground again with a snap. He shrank his head and said, "No, no, no objection."
"Humph, I can't even measure you."
Mingkong Zilin looked around inside Fangcao Building, then turned and walked out of the building: "When old man Mingzong comes back, tell him that senior sister Mingkong Zilin came to see him."
"Senior sister?"
"You brat, don't you want to call me senior sister?" Mingkong Zilin turned around, as if she wanted to walk back into the building.
Zheng Qiu waved her hands hurriedly: "Think, think, senior sister, senior sister Mingkong Zilin!"
"That's right! Just follow your idiot master."
Zheng Qiu hid behind the door panel and secretly poked his head out to look at the sky outside the building. The faint blue light streaked into the distance and disappeared among the mountains. Phew, he let out a long breath and finally left. Zi Lin in the bright sky
It's really scary, my life was almost in her hands just now.
Looking back at the hall, Zheng Qiu frowned. The tables and chairs were scattered everywhere, and the teapots and water cups were also broken. When the master came back and saw this situation, he would definitely lose his temper. Thinking of this, Zheng Qiu found a
I only made a cloth bag, squatted on the ground to clean up the debris, and swept the hall clean.
In Wentian Pavilion, Elder Mingzong was still looking for the information he wanted. He had climbed to the 893rd floor, which was a floor he had never reached before.
Since ascending to the 850th floor, he found that the layout of the floor had changed. It was no longer the arrangement of four large bookshelves, but individual wooden shelves. The wooden shelves were not only filled with books.
Inscribed stone tablets, patterned animal skins, and even broken ribbons appeared.
There was a thick layer of dust on the ground and wooden frames, and a rotten smell floated in the air, giving people an eerie feeling.
Elder Ming Zong raised the lampstand and looked at each item one by one. Every time he looked at one item, he took out a piece of white jade from his arms and knocked it gently on the wooden frame.
After wandering around for a long time, Elder Mingzong still didn't find what he wanted, but it also opened his eyes. There are many materials here from hundreds and thousands of years ago, and he benefited a lot just by reading them.
There is none here, so we can only go further up.
