Out of the Mountain Chapter 7 An Ancient Book of No Name
After sighing for a while, Xiang An calmed down, and Wada Xiaoliu carefully started to clean up the mess on the floor. Fortunately, Taiyi Sect's books were all made of fine silk paper for sealing and fine rice paper for the inside.
The books were scattered all over the floor, but few of them were damaged. The two of them tidied them up from noon to before dinner, until their stomachs started to scream with hunger, and they had only tidied up less than half of them.
"Xiao Liu, stop cleaning up. Let's go eat first. We can clean up after eating," Xiang An greeted.
"Huh!" Tian Xiaoliu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "If you don't tell me, I'm not hungry yet. I'm exhausted. Let's go quickly. The kitchen will be closed soon."
The afternoon's busy work together made Xiang An full of gratitude to Tian Xiaoliu, "Brother Xiaoliu, I still have some meat. If you don't mind it, you can come to my place. Let's eat some food and drink some wine to relieve ourselves."
Relieve fatigue."
"Okay, okay," although Tian Xiaoliu entered Taiyi Sect earlier than Xiang An, he was still only seventeen or eighteen years old. In this Jiyang Mountain, drinking was the only way to relieve his boredom.
The two locked the door on the third floor and walked towards Xiang An's residence. Xiang An's residence is in the backyard of the library. It has a private courtyard and is very comfortable. Because when Shen Cheng was a manager before, he disliked the remoteness of this place.
, he didn’t move here, but it was a bargain for Xiang An. Xiang An took out the remaining food and wine from the last treat from the cupboard door, and tore them up casually, "Brother Xiaoliu, you're welcome, we are all brothers, come to me
Fill it up for you." Then he poured a large bowl for himself and Tian Xiaoliu, "Brother Xiaoliu, thank you for your help today. I'm not very good at talking, so I respect you."
After saying that, he raised his head and drank a big bowl.
"I'm polite to the manager. This is my duty. You're too polite." After saying that, he frowned and drank the wine in the bowl twice. Tian Xiaoliu had obviously never done such a big bowl before.
When drinking with other students, I always drink from small cups one by one. With such a big bowl, it is obviously a bit excessive.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables", but Xiang An obviously likes to drink like this. He left a chicken leg and handed it to Tian Xiaoliu, and then lay back on the chair. He didn't have the demeanor of a cultivator at all, but looked like a
It was like working a part-time job in the countryside, receiving wages, and having a wild time drinking on the ridge with a few other workers.
Tian Xiaoliu was a little restrained at first, but seeing Xiang An's appearance, he put down his guard and started eating and drinking freely.
"Brother Xiaoliu, don't tell me that I was very dissatisfied with your performance at the gate that day. Why were you so fierce? It's amazing to guard the Taiyi gate. Do you have to punish yourself with a drink?" Xiang An said drunkenly.
.
"Hehehehe, I deserve to be punished. It's not my fault. In this thousand-mile radius, no one wants to join the Taiyi Sect. Even if they don't have enough qualifications to practice, they can find a job.
It's better than planting two acres of thin fields at the foot of the mountain. The way you were dressed that day was similar to the country people who usually come to Taiyi Gate to try their luck. Who would have known that you have such a status?" Tian Xiaoliu said while chewing chicken in his mouth.
.
"Really? Is Taiyi Sect so popular?" Xiang An asked doubtfully.
"No, you are lucky enough to have a good master, so you easily entered Taiyimen. As soon as you came here, you became the steward of this library, and you live in this private courtyard. Of course I think it's quite easy." Tian Xiao
Liu Wei said with envy, "You are a full man, but you don't know that a hungry man is hungry."
"
Is that so? Yes, when I was in the village, I heard Uncle Niu from the former village often say that everyone in the Taiyi Sect has great magic power and is a chivalrous and righteous person."
"That's right, this Taiyi Sect is the leader of the righteous path in the world!" Tian Xiaoliu said proudly.
"Hey, Xiaoliu, how did you get into Taiyi Gate?"
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I was picked up by the boss. That year there was a drought at home. I had no father or mother since I was a child. I lived in my aunt's house, but my aunt's house didn't have any food left. I heard people say that Taiyi
Men had enough to eat and drink, so he walked towards the south alone. There was no dry food along the way and he fainted from hunger. He was kindly rescued by the leader who was out on business." Tian Xiaoliu said gratefully, "If it weren't for the leader, I'm afraid
He starved to death on the road."
"Really? Then you are really lucky." Tian Xiaoliu's experience made Xiang An couldn't help but feel the same way, "I also had no father or mother since I was a child. I was adopted by my master when I could remember. Let's have another bowl.
"
"Fuck!" Tian Xiaoliu seemed to have adapted to this way of drinking, and drank it all in one gulp, "Brother Xiang, you are supposedly a disciple of Elder Punishment. Why don't you practice on the Great Sky Peak during the day, but instead you are in the library every day?
."
"Hey~~~ I'm not a disciple of the Taiyi Sect. I didn't pass the test of the two big pillars, and my master is a punishment elder and can't accept disciples." Xiang An said angrily, "I'm also very surprised. Obviously
One pillar is all lit up, but I don’t know why the other one doesn’t react at all. I have no choice but to arrange for me to go to the library to take care of things. The master is too busy recently and has no time to teach me how to practice." He said to Xiang An.
He sighed and took a sip of wine.
Tian Xiaoliu pouted, obviously disdainful of the sentence that the punishment elders could not accept disciples, but when he heard Xiang An's situation in the Soul-Exploring Hall, he couldn't help but ask, "Really?" Tian Xiaoliu said unexpectedly, "Where are you?
One root is lit, which one is not lit?"
"The dragon's penis is fully lit. I heard from Junior Brother Zhou that it is nine feet high. The master also said that he has never seen nine feet high, but Fengzhu didn't react at all. You think it's irritating or not."
"Ah? Then your situation is the same as mine. I also have a dragon pillar!"
"Have you also gone to the Soul-Exploring Hall for testing?"
"The master asked me to test it out. I'm not as powerful as you. Long Ying is six feet tall, and Feng Ying has no light at all. The master said that Long Yingliang is so tall, so he asked me to try practicing at Datian Peak."
Tian Xiaoliu felt as if he had met a confidant, "I don't know if I am a dull person as they say. I can't understand the techniques at all. I don't feel anything about the luck that surrounds me and penetrates the world."
"and after?"
"Later, I came down from the Great Sky Peak and found a job as a gatekeeper inside the gate. Because of this, I almost became the laughing stock of the entire Taiyi Sect." Tian Xiaoliu said sadly, not knowing why.
Because he failed in cultivation, or because he became a laughing stock.
"I don't know what's going on. My junior sister is a six-foot phoenix shadow, but the dragon shadow is also bright. But it's not surprising. My junior sister is so smart, she should be better than me." Xiang An murmured.
.
The more the two of them talked, the more they talked, and they felt as if they had met each other late. They drank while talking, and after a while, the two small jars of wine were finished by the two of them.
"Xiao Liu, you don't know that I used to work in the fields in our Bacao Village. When the farming season came, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xie
They all rushed to let me work in the fields."
"I'm not worse than you," Tian Xiaoliu said drunkenly, "Hiccup~ I used to be in our village, and one person could cut three acres of wheat a day, and all the wages were paid in cash."
"Stop bragging, you cut three acres in one day. Although I have never cut wheat, the most I can cut in rice is two acres in one day. You can cut three acres with your small body." Xiang An obviously felt that Tian Xiao
Six is bragging.
"How can it be blowing? Why don't you believe this person?" Tian Xiaoliu spoke in dialect in a hurry, "You haven't cut wheat before and you don't know. I cut it in front and others tied it in the back. It's so powerful.
"Oh, if you don't believe me, go to our village and ask around. One year, half of Mr. Wang's 100 acres of land was harvested by me alone."
"Can one count one hundred acres of land as a master?" Xiang An said unconvinced, "In our village, Mr. Xie has one hundred acres of land, so he is considered a master. With your one hundred acres in our village, you are just a rich household."
level."
"One hundred acres of land, why do you still look down on it? How many acres do you have? If I had one hundred acres of land, I would go back a long time ago. Think about it, and my life would be beautiful. I would build three big tile-roofed houses."
, Let people talk about a marriage, what kind of life will it be?" Tian Xiaoliu said with great interest.
Xiang An nodded, "If you have a harvest of one hundred acres of land, you will be extremely rich." Obviously Xiang An also deeply agrees with Tian Xiaoliu's dream. Before coming to Taiyimen, he also dreamed of being able to bring three people together.
The thatched cottage was renovated into three large tile-roofed houses. If he could marry his junior sister again, Xiang An couldn't help but be crazy...
I don't know how long it took, but Xiang An slipped off the stool, which happened to wake him up. Xiang An's head was groggy. He went to the water urn "Gugu" and drank two ladles of cold water before he woke up. He wanted to go to bed, but he saw
Tian Xiaoliu had climbed onto his bed at some point and was fast asleep. Xiang An shook his head, opened the door, and walked outside the house, ready to blow in the air and sober up. The night was just right in the yard, and Xiang An looked at the yard.
He suddenly remembered the days when he and his junior sister caught fireflies together in the countryside. He took out a sachet from his arms. On the light pink sachet, there were two butterflies and the word Ming embroidered on it. "Junior sister"
I haven't been here for three days. I don't know what happened. Maybe I am practicing some advanced skills and I can't get away." Xiang An thought.
Xiang An was sitting in the yard. He wanted to sober up, but he didn't expect that the more he sat, the more awake he became. So he simply grabbed a firefly and wrapped it in a handkerchief, and walked towards the library, preparing to tidy up the third floor of the library.
, although no one usually comes to borrow books on the third floor, but I am still in charge of the library, so it is better to recover as soon as possible.
Xiang An went all the way to the third floor, opened the door, and started to go inside. He lifted up the rows of bookshelves, climbed up the escalator, and moved the books to the bookshelves that had not fallen over, starting from top to bottom.
He began to place them according to the numbers. But after all, he had just woken up from drunkenness, and sitting on the two-foot-high escalator still made him feel a little dizzy. When he stood up from the escalator and was about to get off, when he picked up a few more books, his eyes
But he caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a book at the top of the bookshelf. Xiang An reached for it, only to see that the book only contained more than ten thin sheets of paper, with no cover and no number.
"Huh? That's weird, who put the book on this?" Xiang An was confused. If he hadn't happened to be standing at the top of the book ladder, he wouldn't have been able to see this book. Besides, the ancient books of Taiyi Sect are in the cabinet.
