Fangzhou County Magistrate's urgent cry for help attracted passers-by on the street. Everyone gathered together and pointed at everything in front of them.
"Alas, another poor person who is about to disappear."
"It seems to be the county magistrate of Fangzhou, right? After his last daughter disappeared, I'm afraid it will be his turn soon. He should also be the last local magistrate in our Chaoge City. If he is gone, the history of this world will be over.
Forgotten."
"If a person has no place to come from, where will he return to? People in the world will eventually forget the world..."
"Why don't we? The frequency of Taoist disciples coming is getting less and less, and we can't escape this fate after all..."
Voices came from the side one by one, carrying sighs, reluctance, and a deep sense of sympathy for each other.
Luo Anan and Li Danqing listened to everyone's words, and their hearts moved, remembering Shi Ziju's reasoning at the dinner table.
Are these inhuman and ghostly things in front of me really the souls of books?
The two of them couldn't help but have such thoughts in their hearts at this moment, but before they had time to think about it, the pleading voice of the Fangzhou County Magistrate came again.
"Master Cheng! Please! Save my child! She is the only one I have!"
Cheng Taoist? When the pedestrians who gathered here heard this, their expressions suddenly changed and they looked at Luo Anan.
"She is the Taoist?"
"Isn't it true that Ye Pang is the only one left?"
"Is there a new Taoist disciple appearing?"
Everyone was talking and looking at Luo Anan with eager eyes.
Although Luo Anan was calm-tempered, he was a little overwhelmed when faced with such a warm gaze.
"I... what should I do to save her... I don't know what a Taoist is, and I have never had that so-called nectar..." Luo An'an frowned and looked at Fangzhou County Magistrate, saying this.
Fangzhou Junzhi was stunned and looked up at Luo An'an. The will-o'-the-wisp flashed deep in his eyes, as if he was not sure whether what Luo An'an said was true or false.
"Didn't you go to Ye Pang? As the successor, he should have told you everything!" Fangzhou County Chronicle asked in astonishment.
"Huh?" Li Danqing frowned when he heard this and said: "I have seen it before, but he doesn't seem to know what the so-called Taoist disciples are. Instead, he thinks that we are some kind of demon accomplices, and he almost killed me.
He and An An were killed."
"How is it possible?" After hearing this, the Fangzhou County Magistrate suddenly looked incredulous. He stared at Li Danqing with wide eyes and said in astonishment: "How could Mr. Chengdao not know who he is? Then why would he still do it?
Occasionally he appears here and brings us nectar. Even if the quantity becomes less and less every day, at least he should know about it..."
Li Danqing didn't have the time to pay attention to Fangzhou County Magistrate's questions. He simply said straight to the point: "I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think. Since you have all identified that my family An'an is the preacher of Nalaoshizi, why not tell you what you know?"
Tell us one by one so that we can help
you!"
As soon as these words came out, the living dead people around looked at each other and seemed a little hesitant.
"You must not be human!" Seeing their appearance, Li Danqing couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. At that time, he said sternly. He felt something was wrong when he said this, so he quickly changed his words: "I mean you all should
It’s a book spirit, right?”
"I don't know why you exist here, and I don't understand why I can come here."
"But what I can tell you is... Chaoge City has long ceased to exist! The Great Shang you call has long been destroyed. The name of the world has been changed a hundred years ago. Today, the world's surname is Ji! The country is named Wuyang!
"
"What!?"
"How could this be?"
Everyone who heard this suddenly burst into exclamations of surprise, and the expressions on their faces became extremely astonished at this moment.
"Dashang has been destroyed? Then why can we still exist in Chaoge City?"
"That's right! Why did the records in the Chronicles of Mountains and Rivers stay in the Great Shang Dynasty and were not written down later?"
"But if you think about it carefully, no new scholar has come here in the past hundred years! Could it be that the new dynasty's literature has declined so much? No more literary saint has been born?"
"Literary Saint? What is that?" Li Danqing captured some key information from the horrified words of the crowd. He turned his head and looked at a guy in the crowd who was wearing a gray gown and had a skull face with a horn beard on his chin.
asked in a deep voice.
"You are not a book spirit, so you should be a human being! You said that the Wuyang Dynasty has been in power for hundreds of years, so how can it be that you have never seen a literary sage?" The man was obviously also surprised by Li Danqing's doubts.
Shi asked rhetorically.
"What is a Literary Sage? I have never heard of it, how could I ever see it?" Li Danqing replied angrily.
The skeleton with horns and beard looked at Li Danqing seriously for a while, as if to determine whether what Li Danqing said was true or false. After a long time, he said: "I see that the qi around you is condensed and the qi and blood are strong. Come to think of it.
He is a person who cultivates martial arts. This literary saint is like a martial lord to martial arts. Although he cannot be as physically strong as a martial lord, he can break mountains and rivers, but with a breath of awe in his chest, he can enlighten the spirits of heaven and earth.
It is easy to change the universe, move mountains and reclaim seas, but even if we fight against Lord Wu, the outcome of victory and defeat is indescribable."
"How can you achieve this by just studying? Is it really like what Shi Ziju said, everything in the world can be solved by shortcuts?" Li Danqing was confused by what he heard, and he was somewhat doubtful about this in his heart.
But Li Danqing did not say this, but looked at the horned skeleton and shook his head seriously: "If what you said is true, I have never seen such a existence, Wu Yang
In the hundreds of years since the dynasty was established, there have been hundreds of military monarchs, but the so-called literary sages, let alone rare ones, I have never heard of..."
Li Danqing's answer made everyone around him exclaim again.
"How is it possible that in a hundred years there has not been a literary saint born?"
"This boy must be ignorant!"
"That's right! It's impossible for Wen Dao to survive even withering.
It’s fallen to this point!”
Li Danqing listened to the words of everyone around him, but he didn't feel much anger at their embrace. He just couldn't help but sighed in his heart: After all, this book spirit is just like human beings, and he can't accept it when he faces it.
When faced with a fact, the first reaction is always to find a way to refuse to accept such a fact...
The bearded skeleton was the first to react. He saluted Li Danqing and asked with a trembling voice: "If what I said...if it is true, then what are the scholars in Wuyang world doing now?"
What? Why hasn’t a book spirit been born in so many years? Has the decline reached this point?"
"There are some scholars, but most of them are chosen by those with poor martial arts talents. It is almost the end for ordinary people to learn to read and write sentences. At most, they can read some books such as "Wu Yang Tong Jian", "Nine Chapters of Ming Li" and "Jiu Zhang Ming Li".
"Qian Kun" and other famous classics, only a few people who are interested in this way will specialize in this matter. Although there are some talented people everywhere who like to recite poems and write poems, they are only a minority. For most ordinary people, practicing martial arts is the right way.
." Li Danqing said seriously.
""Wu Yang Tong Jian", "Nine Chapters of Ming Li", "Qian Kun"? What kind of books are these? Why have we never heard of them? If they are classics, we should also have their book spirits here?" Yang Jiao
The bearded skull looked confused, the will-o'-the-wisps in his eyes were dancing, and he looked vaguely uneasy.
"You don't even know, how can I know?" Facing this question, Li Danqing helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said.
He then looked sideways at Fangzhou County Zhi, who was holding a small skeleton named Lan County Zhi, who was crying with tears, and said: "This little guy doesn't seem to be able to hold on any longer. I think you should tell us how to save him first."
She is the most important thing."
"Well, as long as I can be of any help, I will do so without any hesitation." Luo Anan on the side also stepped forward and said with a sincere look on his face.
"Since you are the inheritor of Taoism, you naturally have the spiritual essence of my cultural heritage in your body. As long as you are willing to use your mind to inspire it, you will be able to stimulate the nectar we need. But according to my wishes, the external cultural world is weak now, and I
Judging from the fact that this girl also has strong energy and blood in her body, she probably has little specialization in literature and art, but although the nectar she can stimulate is not much, it should be enough to save Xiao Lan." Yang Jiao Xu said.
"But I still don't understand what to do?" Luo Anan said to herself in some trouble.
"It's okay. Let us help you." After Yang Jiaoxu said this, the expressions of the pedestrians gathered around him all darkened. The terrifying green will-o'-the-wisps in their eyes suddenly changed at this moment, and the next moment they turned into green fire.
It turned into a golden light. I don't know if it was Li Danqing's illusion. Under that light, Li Danqing suddenly felt that the appearance of the skeletons in front of him became sacred...
And thin golden rays of light also surged out of their bodies at this time, gathered together, hovered in mid-air, and then rushed towards Luo Anan's body.
At that moment, Luo Anan's body trembled, and she let out a soft groan, and then an equally bright golden light suddenly burst out of her body at this moment!
