At night, when the gate of Langya City was about to close, a group of three people appeared at the gate.
Li Waner held her bamboo stick in her hand and looked up at the city gate in front of her with a longing expression on her face.
"This is Langya City, the home of poetry, ritual and music, and the place where morality is imbued. There is a Ten Thousand Volumes Academy in the city, and Master Meng is even known as the best scholar in the world."
Afraid that Li Mochou would not understand, she introduced her to Li Mochou like this. But Li Mochou knew at a glance that he was a non-student. Moreover, Li Mochou was deceived by a scholar back then, and she had been hurt for the rest of her life. So she treated the scholar
The feelings are very complicated.
Uh... Mainly because I don't know what complicated way to kill them.
"Okay, okay, after walking all the way, we will go into the city to find a hotel and have a good rest. If we don't go in, the city gate will be closed." Li Mochou said angrily.
The old man in a wide black robe had already stepped into Langya City step by step with a wooden staff, leaving Li Waner behind.
Almost as soon as they entered the city, the city gate defenders were preparing to close the city gate. Because of the demon-slaying conference, many people from the three sects and nine streams of Langya City came. The security in the city suddenly became tense. If they closed the city gate early, they could
Save yourself some trouble.
Snapped!
Just as the city gate was about to close, a big hand clasped on the city gate. The defenders were stunned and saw a big face outside the city gate.
He had a square mouth, wide eyes, and rough skin, especially his eyes, which stared directly at the defenders.
Living in Langya City, it is impossible that they have not seen the world. They have seen countless overseas businessmen from foreign lands, bohemian students, and top-notch brothel singers. After a long time, they have become accustomed to it.
But the look in his eyes was still a bit frightening. The defenders were stunned for a moment, but did not stop them. They opened the city gates slightly and let the group of people enter the city.
There were seven people in the group, headed by a man in black robes, and behind him was a woman wrapped in a cloak, with dark skin but bright eyes.
The other five people are also weird and ferocious, as if if you say a few words to him, the other person will open his huge mouth and swallow your head.
When Li Waner and the other three entered the city, they couldn't find an inn to stay. Recently, Langya City was overcrowded, and all the inns were full. However, it was nothing to Li Waner to eat and sleep in the open air along the way. The three of them were there.
Sleeping under the eaves of the long street, Li Mochou bought sesame cakes and meat from street shops.
Li Waner shared some with the old man in black robe. The old man chewed the sesame seed cakes and smiled slowly.
This was the first time the man in black robe showed such an expression along the way. It wasn't that he was indifferent and liked to pretend to be a superior person.
It is true that he is too old, and it is difficult for him to be energetic about certain things. If he were young, he would show his masculine charm to beautiful women like Li Mochou or Li Waner. But at this age, with the passing of time,
As time goes by, facing the colorful world, I feel not only powerless but also careless.
Li Waner and Li Mochou were sitting in a corner, and Li Mochou was chewing half of a sesame seed cake.
"I heard someone say when I was shopping just now that there will be a demon-slaying convention on Wanjuan Mountain tomorrow. The demon to be killed is that one."
"Yeah." Li Waner instantly realized who Li Mochou was talking about: "Isn't he in the west? Why did he come to the East China Sea?"
"This...I can't guess." Li Mochou sighed: "Do you think he came here specifically to find you?"
Li Waner was stunned for a moment. After much deliberation, this speculation was the most likely. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Cheng Dalei had to travel all the way from Liangzhou to Donghai.
"Why bother with this, why bother with this."
Li Mochou: "Let me advise you. It is easy to get priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a lover. Since he is so sincere, you should not pretend to look away. This major event in the world is not something that women like you and I can participate in."
Li Waner fell silent. She was now squatting on the street, enduring the long wind in the autumn night, gnawing on the hard sesame cakes, but her heart suddenly felt warm.
At this moment, Cheng Dalei was staying in the warm room specially arranged by the academy, hugging the warm quilt and sleeping soundly.
Meng Xuanqing was sitting a little further away from the two of them, and his ears pricked up at this moment. He was also quite curious about this kind of thing. Even if he was really an expert, who said that an expert could not engage in gossip?
Heart.
"Tomorrow's Demon Suppression Conference, I'm afraid there will be many masters in Donghai. If he is in Langya City now, the situation will be dangerous." Li Mochou.
"Yes." Li Waner was surprised: "We should tell him the news as soon as possible and ask him to leave the East China Sea as soon as possible."
"Alas, we don't know where he is now. Maybe he is thousands of miles away from here, maybe he is in Langya City..."
"If he is really in Langya City, what should we do?" Li Waner asked worriedly.
Meng Xuanqing listened with open ears. He had heard about the Demon-Suppressing Conference along the way. He was naturally very clear about who the Demon-Subduing Conference was going to target. As he listened, his heart suddenly twitched, and his eyes
It fell on Li Waner and the other two.
"I wonder where you two come from?"
"Liangzhou, what's wrong?" Li Waner asked deliberately.
Before Li Mochou could stop her, Li Waner had already spoken. She looked at Meng Xuanqing and saw that the old man had lowered his head and muttered something.
"Liangzhou, Liangzhou..." A strange sneer suddenly appeared on Meng Xuanqing's face.
…
It's late at night, white clouds surround the mountain peaks, and the waves are endless.
Qian Guanyu felt a little aggrieved. He suffered a lot at Cheng Dalei's place during the day, and was later fined by the academy to go to the back mountain to guard the collection of books.
This may not be without the master's good intentions. A young man who succeeds in his ambition will inevitably be arrogant and lack patience. There is a library in the academy with thousands of books. Many scholars in the empire can't even touch the door of the library. But Qian Guanyu can.
Living here, you can freely read the wisdom left by the masters of the past.
If he can calm down and study for a few years, and get rid of his exaggeration, he may not have a place in the empire in the future. After all, he is still young and has a bright future.
But it was obvious that Qian Guanyu still couldn't understand this. He wandered around the bookshelves boredly, thinking about how to intercede with his master to avoid this punishment.
At this time, I accidentally glanced out of the window and saw several black figures going up the mountain along the side peaks, very fast and as strong as apes.
Judging from this posture, they are heading towards the Sutra Library.
There are thousands of books in the building. Some people want to come here to study, and some want to come here to steal books. This kind of thing has not happened before.
Wow ya ya.
Qian Guanyu was overjoyed. If he could catch this wave of book thieves, wouldn't it be a great contribution to the academy? He would not only be exempted from the current punishment, but also regain the lost face.
