Chapter 527: When I meet the guardian, I become a ghost
"What an interesting teammate!" I thought.
I found that the aura of a superior person in my body became more and more, and I became more and more accustomed to my new identity as the uncle of the junior master of Qitian Academy.
When facing people in the academy, although he still cannot be as natural and calm as Yan Yuan, he is not as embarrassed as he was at the beginning.
Sure enough, it is easy for a person to adapt to the surrounding environment.
No matter how unwilling you are to grow, everything around you will invisibly force you to grow.
And this growth is not only reflected in cultivation and combat power, but also in the maturity of mind, the stability of personality and the formation of charm!
We left the library very quickly. With the help of the teleportation circle between the floors, we reached the lobby on the first floor in just a blink of an eye.
When passing by the door, I finally met the old man guarding the library that Ling Jiu had mentioned before.
I don’t know if he had already exited me, or if he realized that I didn’t enter normally through him. In short, when he saw me, he nodded to me with a kind smile, and then fell back into meditation with his eyes closed.
After my short observation, I found that he was completely indifferent to the occasional disciples who came to consult the classics, and allowed those disciples to freely pass through a light curtain in front of him.
At this time, brilliance will flash on the surface of the tokens on those disciples, and their information registration and other tasks will be completed automatically.
Vaguely, I feel that his more important role here is to intimidate, so that no matter how unruly the disciples are, they can follow the rules of the library.
As for those tedious "little things", the magic circle in the library will naturally take care of them.
And the look he looked at me actually happened when I passed the light curtain. It was obvious that he seemed to be meditating in seclusion, but in fact he was supervising everything in the library.
"I just don't know if he knew that I broke into the library from the bottom of the magic circle!" I thought bitterly in my heart.
Although the answer is destined to be unknowable, I still assume that he knows it. Who makes everything around him look so orderly?
"Wow, little uncle, I really didn't expect Elder Ghost to smile at you! This is the first time in so many years that I have seen him take the initiative to talk to someone."
Unexpectedly, as soon as we walked out of the library, Ling Jiu's hind legs acted as if he had met me for the first time, and he surrounded me and said with surprise and joy.
After this short time together, he has figured out my way of doing things, and with his sunny and outgoing personality, he has naturally become familiar with me.
At least, he thinks I think so too, and he really does.
I didn't pay much attention to him. While he was speaking, what came to my mind was the figure of the old man guarding the door of the library.
Book Ghost, this was his title before coming to Qitian Academy. He got the name because he was obsessed with reading all his life, and finally became a Taoist through books, becoming like "human beings are not human, ghosts are not ghosts" in the eyes of outsiders.
Although the book ghost is not impressive in appearance, his cultivation is quite powerful. In addition, he has studied a lot and has learned all kinds of unpredictable and strange techniques. He also has a very high attainment in formations, making him very difficult to deal with.
When he took refuge in the newly built Qitian Academy, he was noticed by the Supreme Elder at first sight and was directly assigned the important task of guarding the library.
During the construction and improvement of the library's magic circle, Book Ghost played a great role and put forward many very useful suggestions, all of which were adopted by the Supreme Elder.
It can be said that he really regards the library as his own home!
And all this information naturally appeared in my mind after Ling Jiu called out "Ghost Elder".
It’s as if they are my memories, and I have known Book Ghost for a long time and know him very well!
After realizing this, I stopped and was almost hit by Ling Jiu who was following closely behind.
"What's wrong with my uncle?" he asked eagerly, feeling very embarrassed.
"It's okay, let's keep walking!" I kept walking and responded, but my thoughts were not here at all.
I didn't expect that after being initiated by Master Hai with the help of knowledge, I would have such an experience. It was really miraculous.
The slight gaffe just now is just something I am not familiar with yet. I believe this phenomenon will become more and more common in the future.
Who made me have a lot of common sense about Qitian Academy and the entire world of immortality stored in my mind?
Most of them came from the library, and were finally poured directly into my mind by Master Hai with the help of Confucianism, and became part of my memory.
But now I am very embarrassed to find that it is not easy to use them directly. All knowledge seems to need a just right opportunity to be triggered and finally remembered by me.
Just like the book ghost just now, I had been face to face with him before this, and was greeted by him with a "rare" smile.
But even then, he is still a stranger in my eyes, because I have never seen him before, and I have no memory of him in my mind.
If Ling Jiu hadn't called out his name after coming out, I wouldn't have remembered anything about him!
I don’t know if this is a drawback of Master Hai’s memory initiation method, or is this phenomenon just an episode in the memory absorption process?
Unfortunately, Master Hai has fallen into a deep sleep again. If we want to know the answer, we may have to wait until he wakes up next time!
With these thoughts in mind, Ling Jiu and I hurried towards the mission square.
Although Dewey had said before that the library was right next to Mission Square, how could it be so easy to take the distance in Qitian Academy seriously?
In this paradise that folds a large amount of space, whatever you see may not be true.
That is to say, I walked on the "highway" when I came here, and finally ran into the formation space of the library, so I didn't feel how far away I was.
But it's different now. The distance is too short to activate the "highway", but it still requires Ling Jiu and I to use it for a long time.
You must know that we are what mortals call "immortals"!
So I believe everyone knows how long this distance is.
On the way to the mission square, I was able to respond to all kinds of greetings very naturally, as if my mentality had grown a lot all of a sudden.
As we get closer and closer to the mission square, we can obviously find that more and more disciples are encountered along the way.
Suddenly, after I took a new step, a giant monument piercing the sky appeared in front of me without any warning.
What is it if it’s not a mission stele?
It is so high that every time you raise your eyes a little higher, you can see the white clouds circling around the stone monument, like white vines. (To be continued)
