"I don't know, but there are various theories. Many people said that it was due to the conflict with your cousin in Fulin Tower. Hou Xiao was seriously injured at that time, and it was difficult to treat him when he returned. He eventually died.
"The man said, lowering his voice, "It's better to keep a distance between your work and that cousin, so as not to cause harm to others."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and left in a hurry.
Zhang Ju's expression was uncertain. He stood there and thought for a while. Then he suddenly sighed, changed his mind, turned around and ran towards Dongguan Palace, deciding to tell Chen Cuo the news as soon as possible.
But at the entrance of the palace, he was stopped by two guards.
"Without an order to go up to the peak, no one else is allowed to enter easily."
Zhang Ju revealed his identity and said, "I am the author of the Publishing House."
The guard still shook his head and said: "You can't enter without orders."
Zhang Ju also showed his identity as a cousin of the Marquis of Linru County, but the two guards still refused to let him pass.
In desperation, Zhang Ju retreated and asked the two guards to go in to report the news, while he wandered outside the palace.
But the guard who went in to deliver the message didn't come out for a long time, which made people a little anxious while waiting.
Finally, he couldn't wait any longer and stepped forward to ask again.
The guard was also a little embarrassed, so he said: "In fact, during the past three days, the Marquis of Linru County often retreats to meditate and copy books by hand, saying that it is easier to memorize. Whenever he does this, there is a school clerk standing by to stop him, so it is easy to
It’s hard to get in touch, otherwise it wouldn’t be so complicated to send a message.”
Zhang Ju frowned, his face full of confusion.
Do you have to go into seclusion to read a book? It’s just seclusion, why is the schoolmaster still standing in the way?
No matter what he said, the guard would not let go.
"May I ask if the Marquis of Linru County is inside?"
At this moment, a clear voice came from behind Zhang Ju.
He looked for the sound and saw a young man wearing a gray cloak walking towards him step by step.
When the guard saw this man, he immediately raised his hands and greeted him: "I've seen Mr. Shen. You are inside."
"Okay, I just happened to go over and meet him, and tell him the news by the way." The man said and walked straight towards the Dongguan Palace. When he passed by Zhang Ju, he stopped and saluted him.
Zhang Ju was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly came to his senses when others walked in.
"Who is this man? How could he get in?" Although the man looked familiar, Zhang Ju couldn't help but go over and argue.
The guard explained: "The man just now has an order from Shangfeng, which allows him to enter and exit Dongguan Palace."
Zhang Ju was very angry and asked, "Who is he?"
"That is the young master of the Shen family, Shen Zunli." The guards were full of family treasures.
As soon as he heard the name, Zhang Ju understood.
The nominal mother of Shen Zunli was the daughter of Emperor Gaozu, Princess Mu of Kuaiji.
Princess Mu of Kuaiji married into the Shen family and became the wife of Shen Junli. She had a son and a daughter. When her son died in infancy, she adopted the son of Shen Junli's younger brother. This is Shen Zunli.
Strictly speaking, Shen Zunli was barely a relative of the emperor, so he was naturally different from Zhang Ju.
After a few words, Zhang Ju died down, and the guard who sent the message finally returned.
"The Lord was copying just now, so it took some time. He told you not to worry, he will go back later."
Zhang Ju was about to ask again, but suddenly someone came over to report that someone from the Prince of Nankang's Palace was here.
But this person was not looking for Chen Cuo, but Zhang Ju, saying that Chen's mother called him urgently.
"The old lady wants to see me?" Thinking of the news just now, Zhang Ju had already made a guess, but he didn't understand why he called him alone without asking his cousin. But the man was urging him, so he didn't dare to delay.
"I also ask you two to inform the prince that the palace has summoned you, so I have to go there first." After saying this, Zhang Ju did not delay and left in a hurry.
In the room, Chen Cuo put down the book in his hand, recalling the news that the guard had just brought, and his mind gradually became clearer.
"As soon as I returned to the city, King An Cheng made some moves. Hou Andu would naturally not be idle. Then Hou Xiao fought with me. Although he was seriously injured and his fist power was broken, at most his cultivation level was
It will be completely destroyed, leaving the root of the disease, and not causing death. Now that this news is coming out, there must be some planning and layout."
He recalled that when he arrived at Dongshan Luju, Qiu Yuzi specifically asked Fairy Peach Blossom to warn Hou Andu.
"Kunlun's reputation can intimidate people, but it cannot calm them down. If Hou Xiao's death is not a way to turn light into darkness, it should be an excuse for him to use the secular court to make trouble. But it is not an opportunity for me, but this matter has an impact.
Without the joy of reading, I am really restless.”
Thinking like this, he glanced at the books on the table in front of him.
This table is very long, with many volumes on it, some thick, some thin, but most of them are placed on the edge. There is only one thin book and a stack of thick volumes placed in front of Chen Cuo.
Next to him were several baskets containing many manuscripts, all in brand new ink. They were all copied by Chen Cuo in his own handwriting over the course of three days. He said he wanted to take them back together and read them carefully at home.
"In three days, I went through all the books. Only this one, "Nine Songs", and this one, "New Odes of Yutai", have the strongest light of human thoughts. One is the thought of praying and worshiping gods, and the other is mostly
Men and women love love!"
As he spoke, Chen Cuo slowly calmed down his breathing.
During these three days, when he was transcribing, he would take advantage of the breathing method to absorb a little bit of the brilliance of human thoughts.
It is not easy to absorb these human chants wrapped around the book, but with the combined force of breathing techniques and ghost facial makeup, I can still absorb them to a certain extent.
"Unlike "Nine Songs", "New Odes of Yutai" is an authentic work, and as a collection of poems, it mainly contains palace-style poems, that is, erotic poems about boudoir love, mixed with human thoughts and desires, and it is not difficult to understand
, after sorting it out, you can quickly condense the seal characters for people to read."
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. He turned around and saw a handsome young man wearing a big cloak. He walked in calmly. As his sleeves were swinging, there was a sense of freedom and ease on his face.
Even more smiling
"The people of the Southern Dynasties are indeed unique in their characters." Chen Cuo did not take his eyes back. He noticed unusual ripples in this person.
Not an ordinary person!
Just as he was thinking about it, as soon as the visitor raised his hand, a strong heat wave suddenly came roaring towards him!
The whole person rose into the sky and slapped him with one palm!
"Are you trying to show me off? There's no beginning or end to it. You don't even explain your origins and identity, so you just attack! However, it just happened to let me try out some of the skills I've learned in the past three days."
As soon as the thought fell, the Taoist in his heart suddenly sat upright, moved his whole body, waved his hand, and surging thoughts rushed out. In the blink of an eye, they were connected with the Taoist thoughts around him, and they shook suddenly!
People’s thoughts resonate!
At this moment, everyone in the entire book collection place was using Guanghui for his use!
Buzz!
The young man opposite was shocked all over and was pressed down by a strong force!
Many of his offensives collapsed in an instant, and he was about to reach Chen Cuo. He was pressed to the ground across a table, his whole body creaking, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.
Chen Cuo looked at the visitor and asked: "There are books everywhere here, many of which are original and only copies. Are you not afraid of damaging the collection by making such a sudden move?"
He sat up straight.
"Tell me, if you can come in, your status must be extraordinary."
Chen Cuo looked at the person coming, and his senses expanded, covering the entire outer hall of the East View. He noticed that Bao Gan and others in the corner of the pavilion were carefully observing the movements here, but did not come to stop them.
"Sure enough, he is a worthy scholar despite his great reputation." The man was pressed to the ground and struggled a few times but did not break free. He showed no signs of embarrassment. He smiled slightly, flicked his sleeves, and a surge of will enveloped him. He was actually following the thoughts of others.
Break free from the oppression and stand up again.
"Oh? What kind of method is this? It's not incense and human thoughts, but a breath of energy that directly breaks away from the constraints of human thoughts." Chen Cuo was quite curious.
"It's nothing. I have learned some skills through studying and cultivating my energy. The ordinary incense and thoughts, evil spirits and evil spirits can't hurt me." After the young master got up, he dusted himself off and raised his hands to Chen Cuogong, "
I've been to Shen Zunli and met the king."
"Shen Zunli?" Chen Cuo's heart moved, and related memories emerged, "The son of Zuo Min Shangshu family?"
The man raised his hand and said yes, and then said: "I learned about the prince from the mouth of King Ancheng, so I am willing to come to visit, and at the same time I want to test the skills of the prince."
"Are you here to test me? Or are you here to test me?" Chen Cuo couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "It's really boring to test me, why not explain your purpose? Is it related to Hou Xiao's death?"
"I still need to ask for advice..." Shen Zunli looked calm, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes. When he raised his hand, his energy instantly rose, and he faintly occupied one side. The books on the bookshelves actually trembled slightly.
Suddenly, a vast artistic conception condensed on his body, with the faint shadow of the towering Mount Tai!
"The Collection of Classics and History..." Chen Cuo glanced around and recognized the categories of several bookshelves, "It's a bit interesting, but if you come to me to convey a message, just tell it honestly, why do you need to be so fancy? After all, you are a young man...
…”
Shen Zunli's age was much older than Chen Cuo's current physical body, but if you include his mental age, he was indeed much younger.
After Chen Cuo finished speaking, the Taoist in his heart sat cross-legged, the ghost face in his hands shook, and his wild thoughts showed a little, countless information surged out, the light and shadow appeared all over his body, and ripples spread out.
"If you were outside, you might be able to hold on for a while with your weird tricks, but in this place where books are stored..." Chen Cuo shook his head and sat still, breathing heavily and swinging his sleeves.
call!
The breeze blows.
A book on the bookshelf turns without any wind.
.
.
"This is?"
In that house, the black and white old men opened their eyes at the same time, showing surprise.
"When will he be able to influence the thoughts of the books outside the door?"
.
.
"No, my awe-inspiring aura..." Shen Zunli's expression suddenly changed, and the overwhelming power in his body suddenly collapsed, and then he looked at the open books in the room with a look of surprise.
Then, a little thought fell, and the contents of countless books came out in droves!
not good!
Shen Zunli was startled when he heard Chen Cuo's words——
"There are thousands of chestnuts in the book, there are houses of gold in the book, there are many chariots and horses in the book, there are faces like jade in the book..."
He reluctantly opened his eyes and saw endless light and shadow.
"You are in the sea of books, so why go back empty-handed? I will lead the way for you, and you will enjoy boundless joy when you enter the sea of books!"
