The next morning, Chen Guang, who was in good health, was dancing in the courtyard with a long gun in his hand. He felt a faint gaze on him, and then glanced at the green onion leaves on the ground. He put away the gun unnaturally.
"I'll help you plant it later."
"Let Wu Jingzhong." Xia Yi's voice came from outside the courtyard, "I don't raise idle people."
"Teacher, you are back."
"Old Master." Wu Jing quickly lowered his head.
Xia Yi waved his hand to signal him to go down.
Chen Guangze said again: "Teacher, last night... did Han Chuanzhong send someone here?"
"Are you worried?" Xia Yi shook his head and sighed: "It's a thousand times more troublesome than that."
Seeing that Chen Guang wanted to ask more questions, Xia Yi said first, "It has nothing to do with you. Just practice your spear with peace of mind, break and then stand up again, and gather Tianji Star and Tianquan Star as soon as possible. Only then will you be able to help the teacher."
"yes."
Xia Yi went back to the house and lay down on the bed.
'After searching all night, I couldn't find anyone suspected of being the Rat Demon God's Fire Light. I hope those two people were just accidentally contaminated with something left by the demon clan, otherwise... Lieyang City may be facing a huge disaster.
'
Although he was thinking this in his heart, Xia Yi knew that this was just a luxurious wish, and 90% of it was done by the rat demon god who was in a similar state to Zhou Lizhu!
Among the demon gods, the rat demon god has the weakest individual combat power, but when it comes to the degree of difficulty, the degree of hatred of human beings, and the degree of desire to kill, the rat demon god's firepower is definitely among the top three!
Closing his eyes, scenes of the past flashed before his eyes. Xia Yi would never forget a major event he witnessed that year - a small human town fell under the siege of the demon race. When he and his companions rushed to the rescue, there was no one left in the small town.
The demon clan, the tens of thousands of people in the small town, are mostly alive.
It's just that those people have big rat fangs and are rushing towards them crazily.
After that time, Xia Yi developed soap, and the skin on his hands was almost washed off, but he still felt uncomfortable.
Thinking about it now, he still felt that the blood in his hands had not been washed away, causing him to toss and turn.
I don't know how long it took before he fell into sleep.
…
When I got up again, it was already noon.
After lunch, Xia Yi went out again.
After walking around the streets and alleys for a few times, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Xia Yi couldn't say he felt at ease, let alone relieved. After searching, he entered a study called "Guhuai Bookstore".
As the name suggests, in front of the study, there stands a huge locust tree that is as old as Xia Yi.
The study is not big, and there is a young man sitting behind a small counter opposite the door.
He must be a hired help. The young man doesn't look like the shopkeeper. He is wearing a thin cotton coat with a little oil on the front. His hair looks like it hasn't been washed for a few days. It's not long, but it still has some hair.
When I ordered the roll, my face looked extremely clean, with a bit of a creamy texture.
He was the only one in the study, holding a book in his hand and nodding his head drowsily. The sound of Xia Yi entering the room woke him up. He looked up and quickly stretched out his hand.
"Old man, please come in. Do you want to buy a book or borrow a book? What kind of books do you need?"
"History-related books, buy or borrow them, it depends on how much I need the books you have here." Xia Yi said.
"Oh, if you go inside, the penultimate bookshelf on the left at the end contains historical books."
He greeted warmly, "Do you have any other more precise needs?"
Xia Yi looked inside and saw two rows of bookshelves against the white walls on both sides, six on the left and five on the right. The bookshelves were full of books.
Although the study is not big, it does have a lot of books. It seems that there are thousands of books, and at first glance, there are not many duplicates.
After thinking for a while, he added: "I am somewhat interested in the demon clan of the past. Are there any books about this subject?"
"Of course, your request can be more detailed. Do you want to know about the dark ages of the human race before the First Emperor, or about the human race's monster-killing heroes after the First Emperor, or after Overlord Xiang Yu?"
Before the First Emperor, in this era, is there anyone who knows more than me? Xia Yi smiled and said: "I want to know the history related to the battle between Overlord Xiang Yu and the 12 demon gods. Can you find it?"
"That's it." The young man smiled knowingly, walked in quickly, and picked out two thin books on the bookshelf he mentioned before.
"I guess you have some doubts about Overlord Xiang Yu's record of killing 12 demon gods with one manpower? These two books are some analyzes of it by later generations." The young man said: "If you buy it, you need to pay me 230 Wen. If you rent it, you need to pay me 230 Wen."
...You need to give me a deposit of 300 yuan, and 30 yuan will be deducted per day."
"I have a suggestion here. I have read both books. If I tell you about the contents, it will only take ten minutes. It will be better than your hard work to read. I will only charge you 40 articles."
"The extra 10 yuan is your hard work fee?"
Xia Yi smiled: "I know how to do business. If I rent them, these two books only have twenty or thirty pages. I finished reading them in half an hour."
The young man smiled shyly, with a dimple on the left side of his face, "Earn some money."
"Interesting, what's your name?"
On the contrary, Xia Yi felt that this young man had some business acumen, "Are you sure that the content I want is only available in these two books? Aren't you afraid of omissions?"
"My surname is Renjian." The young man replied: "Don't worry, old man, there will be no omissions. I am just like you, and I am also interested in historical books. I have read all the historical books in the study.
pass."
Xia Yi was startled, looked at the more than a hundred historical books, and praised: "Read them all? That's amazing, you said... your surname is Ren?"
"Humans, people from the human race, are relatively rare. In ancient times, there was a vassal family with the surname Shang. Maybe it was my ancestor?"
Xia Yi revealed his surprise. He actually knew and had contact with the vassals of the big family named Shang and had the surname Xiao. This was considered very unpopular knowledge.
It seems that the young man did not brag.
He clicked on two books.
"Tell me."
"Okay, you sit down." Renjian politely offered him a chair, stood in front of the counter, put down one of the books, and said:
"This book is a more accepted guess by future generations about the war."
"Speaking of the First Emperor, when he was over 150 years old, he was keen on the holy souls and holy medicines that extend life. He wanted to live forever and enjoy eternal youth. Records at that time are that His Majesty the First Emperor did gain something and may become the first human being to live over 500 years old.
King."
"However, shortly after the battle between Overlord Xiang Yu and the 12 demon gods, the First Emperor died suddenly at the age of 217, so everyone suspected that the First Emperor provided unknown help in that battle!"
Xia Yi was silent and slapped his forehead.
Stupid, stupid, there is the First Emperor and Xiang Yu, so he subconsciously thought that the First Emperor was dead when Xiang Yu became king, but there was only a hundred years between the two. For the king of the Holy Soul Continent, a hundred years was not enough.
It wasn't that long at all, the two of them were active at the same time!
There is some truth to this speculation.
"Where's the other one?" Xia Yi said.
"The other one slightly tarnishes the reputation of the First Emperor, and is not sold in some studies." Human World continued: "Let's talk about the First Emperor, who was worried that the Overlord Xiang Yu would threaten his rule, and colluded with the demon clan to harm the Overlord!"
"According to unofficial records, the First Emperor met with the monkey demon Shenwu many times in private, and the words were conclusive, so the 12 demon gods were able to form an formation to trap the Overlord."
"How could we know that the Overlord was so powerful that he could fight against 12 demon gods alone without being defeated? After both sides were defeated, the First Emperor led all his powerful men to secretly attack and kill both sides at the same time! But that one
During the war, the First Emperor was also severely wounded by the counterattack of the demon gods and overlords, and died soon after."
Xia Yi closed her eyes and thought for a long time.
Also...there is some truth.
After writing out 50 Wen on the counter, Xia Yi smiled and said, "You're good young man. You saved me a lot of time. The extra money is yours."
Ren Shi quickly thanked him and sent Xia Yi off to the study. He counted out 20 articles and put them in a drawer. He then put the 30 articles into his pocket and picked up the scroll.
Xia Yi, who had just left the study, twitched his ears and turned around in a funny way: Renting a book is actually 20 cents a day? It's interesting that I, an old businessman, was actually made an extra 20 cents by a young man.
As a result, when he turned around, Xia Yi stood there in a daze, seeing Renjian holding a book in his hands, his hands quickly flipping through the pages of the book, almost every three seconds. It was not like he was reading, but like he was checking for omissions.
An extremely weak wave of holy soul came.
