Taiping Inn

Xia Song wisely did not step forward, but stood there, not daring to go anywhere. Then he watched the old man finish scanning a few books, and just waved his sleeves casually, and the books flew back to their original positions, exactly the same.

Xia Song kept reciting "The Master does not talk about strange things", but he felt a little weak. The saints do not talk about strange things, but it does not mean that there are no strange things. Didn't he encounter it today?

The old man walked slowly forward and passed by Xia Song without doing anything to him, or even looking at him more. This made Xia Song feel relieved, and at the same time, he also felt the calmness and composure of the old man, which made Xia Song doubt his own judgment. Did he guess wrong? This old man was not an outsider, but a Confucian master who came from other academies.

He turned and looked at the old man, and saw that as the old man walked, books kept flying out of the bookshelf and unfolded by themselves, and books kept closing by themselves and flying back to their original positions on the bookshelf.

Xia Song felt that this was not like reading a book, but looking for a book.

At this moment, the old man had left the first floor and went up to the second floor. Xia Song was shocked, and he didn't know where he got the courage from. He followed the old man's footsteps and went up to the second floor. But after reaching the second floor, he could not see the old man. He only saw countless books flying from the bookshelf, hanging without falling, and the sound of turning pages continued. At this time, the scene seemed to be many invisible people turning books together, which frightened Xia Song so much that his liver and gallbladder were about to burst, his legs were weak, and he had to hold the wall to barely stand.

In this, not only are there prohibitions on various books, but also on the bookshelves and the whole itself. The old man's actions finally alarmed the masters in the Wanxiang Academy. A clear voice came from outside, saying, "A distinguished guest has arrived. I am sorry for not welcoming you."

Then the old man's voice finally sounded from behind the heavy bookshelves, "I don't deserve to be your distinguished guest. I am just visiting the old place again."

The moment the old man spoke, the flying books closed at the same time and then fell back onto the bookshelf.

Xia Song knew that the masters in the academy had arrived, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Then he heard someone outside the building chanting a line of poetry, "The Yellow Crane's Broken Rock, have old friends been here? The old rivers and mountains are all new sorrows. I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry them with wine, but it's not like the time when I was young." With each sentence he said, his voice got closer. Just after he finished saying the three words "not like", he was already outside the first floor. When he said the three words "youthful travel", he was already on the second floor and said to the old man behind the bookshelf: "Ning Qi from the Wanxiang Academy has met Mr. Li."

Xia Song was shocked that it was Ning Dajiu who came in person. Then he thought quickly in his mind, but he couldn't remember any great scholar in the world with the surname Li who could make Ning Dajiu so respectful.

After the words fell, the old man did not completely walk out from behind the bookshelf, but only revealed half of his face, looked at Ning Qi, and said: "Mr. Li, Mr. is Mr., why add the word 'old', do you think I am old, or is there another Mr. Li in the world?"

Faced with such a rhetorical question, Ning Qi replied: "The immortals are still infants at the age of 100, so why talk about the word 'old'. But now in the world, in addition to you, your disciples are also worthy of the word 'Mr.', to distinguish them, they are called 'Mr. Li' and 'Mr. Li' according to their age."

The person who came was not someone else, but Li Daoxu. Li Daoxu had studied in the Wanxiang Academy, so he was so familiar with this place. Just now he said that he was not a guest, but a revisit to the old place, which was also the reason. And the words that Ning Qi responded to were that things have changed, and they are not the same as they used to be, and they cannot be generalized.

After Li Daoxu glanced at Ning Qi, he retracted his gaze and hid behind the bookshelf, but his voice still came from behind the bookshelf, "There is no need to do this. Nowadays, people call Mr. Li Mr. Qingping. These two words are very wonderful. Once the world is clear, it will be peaceful. Only then can it be Qingping."

Ning Qi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, you are a great man of the time, and your status is noble. Why do you do such a petty theft?"

Li Daoxu was not angry, but asked: "How is it a petty theft?"

Ning Qi said: "Come uninvited is an uninvited guest, and take without permission is called stealing!"

As soon as Ning Qi finished speaking, he felt a strong wind coming towards him, and he was startled. However, since the moment he went up to the second floor just now, he has been extra careful, so although he was startled, he did not panic. He used the "Righteousness Song Jue" and gently flicked his sleeves to dissolve this force, but he still took a few steps back. He felt a dull pain in his chest and abdomen between breaths, and then he realized how powerful Li Daoxu was.

Just now, when Li Daoxu made his move, there was no sign, not even any ripples of Qi. The breeze did not move, the dust did not rise, there was no sound, no trace, and it was obvious that Li Daoxu's cultivation had reached the invisible state of returning to the original state, which was called "no form". Ning Qi's light flick of his sleeves seemed to be an understatement, but in fact, he had used his life's cultivation. When he swept out his sleeves, the dust moved with it, and the wind from his sleeves was generated. There was a visible shadow and a trace to be found, which was called "appearance", that is, "appearance". In the end, "no phase" versus "appearance", Ning Qi still lost. Ning Qi had to sigh that although there was only a difference of one realm, if he fought alone, it would be a world of difference.

After Ning Qi stopped and resolved this move, he heard Li Daoxu's voice coming, "I once visited the Wanxiang Academy to study, but the Wanxiang Academy has not removed me from the list. He also allowed me to be here as the high priest. Reading a lot of books, I am here today, what is an uninvited guest? I once left a book here, and I came here today to retrieve my own things, what is a stealing act? If you are not speaking properly, I will touch you, To teach you a lesson, if you don’t repent, don’t blame Li for pointing at you with a three-foot green breeze."

When Xia Song heard this, he realized that this person had studied at the Wanxiang Academy and was also a senior in the Academy. However, when he heard this person's tone, he did not take Ning Dajiu seriously at all, and even pointed a sword at him. Ning Dasheng wine. Xia Song didn't know the sinisterness of the two fighting just now, but saw Ning Qi wave his sleeves and then take a few steps back, and he was not dead. At this time, he thought that Ning Dajiu would be furious, but he never thought that Ning Dajiu He was not angry at all, and his tone was very polite, "Since that's the case, I was wrong. I apologize to Mr. Li. Mr. Li, did he find the old thing back then?"

Until this time, Xia Song finally realized that Mr. Li must be a big man who was extremely difficult to mess with. Finally, he couldn't hold on and sat on the ground.

Ning Qi suddenly looked back at him and said in a stern tone: "Go out!"

"Yes, yes." Xia Song responded quickly, but felt that the more anxious he was, the less strength he had, and he couldn't stand up at all. Seeing this, Ning Qi couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and then waved his sleeves at him.

Xia Song felt dizzy. When he was down to earth, he found that he was already hiding.

It was not until this time that Li Daoxu walked out from behind the bookshelf, empty-handed, and said to Ning Qi, "That book was taken away."

Ning Qi frowned even deeper. He didn't think this was a lie that Li Daoxu made up on purpose. With Li Daoxu's identity, he wouldn't act so despicable. He just felt that the book in Li Daoxu's mouth must be extremely unlucky. It is vulgar and has a profound meaning. Otherwise, Li Daoxu would not have left this book here for no reason. He couldn't help but ask, "I dare to ask Mr. Li, what kind of book is this book? Although this book is strict, there are still people who can come here to borrow the collection of books. Perhaps it is borrowed by someone."

Li Daoxu said lightly: "It is a collection of poems written by a saint who is aware of his heart, including the sanctuary "Rebirth of Revelation".

Ning Qi knew "Rebirth" naturally, which was a sanctuary written by the sage of Xinxue back then. It was just a collection of poems, which was nothing, but the sage of Xinxue himself wrote it, which was very precious and of great significance. Ning Qi never expected that Li Daoxu would leave such a thing in the hiding place, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Li Daoxu didn't urge him, but just stood with his hands behind his back.

After a while, Ning Qicai said, "Maybe it was borrowed by someone. I immediately asked someone to find all the borrowing records and I will definitely give Mr. Li an explanation."

Li Daoxu said with a blank expression: "No need, I probably already know who took it away. If you don't want it back, you don't have to ask for it. Since someone likes it, I'll just send it to him."

Ning Qi only felt that Li Daoxu's words had a deep meaning, but he couldn't think of what the specific meaning was.

At this moment, another voice sounded outside the building, "Mr. Li used that collection of poems as bait, but I don't know which big fish Mr. Li wanted to catch? I'm afraid that this little girl in the Vientiane Academy The small pond cannot accommodate the big fish that Mr. Li wants to catch."

After the words came, another white-haired old scholar came to the second floor, which was Sikong Daoxuan among the three great priests.

Li Daoxu glanced at Sikong Daoxun, "It's still Brother Sikong who knows that I understand me, but this language is too early."

Sikong Daoxuan smiled slightly and asked, "The day of the Daomen Gate Conference is set before and after the Peony Flower Festival, and the location is chosen in the Longmen Mansion. Mr. Li, as one of the three masters, is he here to enjoy the flowers? If you are here to enjoy the flowers, why don’t you see the other two masters?”

Li Daoxu smiled faintly and answered the question, "No matter how good the flowers in Longmen Mansion are, they are not as beautiful as the flowers in the Wanxiang Academy. I heard that there are a hundred flower clubs in the Wanxiang Academy, which is ten times or a hundred times better than the flowers in the Longmen Mansion. I wonder if I can see it?”

Sikong Daoxuan and Ning Qi's faces changed.

Li Daoxu smiled and said, "Can you block me just the Wanxiang Academy? I wonder where all the hermits are? I wonder where other high priests are? Why don't you invite them all out and enjoy the flowers with me? How about it?"

After the words came to an end, Li Daoxu had disappeared.

Sikong Daoxuan and Ning Qi looked at each other, their faces were very heavy.

Now that Li Daoxu has arrived, will Zhang Jingxiu and Qin Qing still be far away? When the three earthly immortals arrive together, I am afraid that the Wanxiang Academy will be worried about overthrow.
