The Supreme One
Chapter 58: Library Reputation Achieved
But now that he knew the truth, Sheng Wuya no longer had much resentment towards Liu Qingmei.
Of course, in addition to this, I also admire Xia Xian for being able to chat with such a madman.
No matter why she went crazy, she was crazy after all and extremely dangerous, so it was better for ordinary people to stay away from her.
He was also very curious about Xia Xian's rhetoric. How could he convince such a closed-minded person?
Xia Xian simply said this and advised:
"If you are not sure of your survival, it is better not to try, or you will be beaten to pieces and I will have to collect your body."
"What are you thinking? I will definitely beat him down with my strength and then reason with him!"
As Sheng Wuya was looking at Xia Xian who was practicing, he suddenly thought of what Xia Xian had said before and felt that it made sense to apply it here.
"Reading is for the sake of truth, and cultivating strength is for the sake of making people listen to me!"
Xia Xian, who was practicing, rolled his eyes at him.
With his current mastery of physical training techniques, it would be no problem for him to slack off a little while practicing.
After finishing his training, Xia Xian came to the library again.
As usual, Xia Xian walked down the stairs, one platform at a time.
When I passed the platform that I visited yesterday, I indeed saw that familiar figure.
"Sister Qingmei, have you been reading here all night?"
Xia Xian glanced at the books around her. Although the order of the books was no different from the order he had arranged them yesterday, he could clearly see some subtle signs of movement.
"Yeah, there's nowhere to go anyway, so I'll just read a book here."
Although monks still need to sleep and rest, the time they need to rest is greatly reduced compared to ordinary people.
As long as they are not doing anything particularly strenuous like fighting, a single night's sleep is enough to keep them full of energy for a very long time.
Liu Qingmei replied in a soft voice. Although they had only known each other for one day, she felt like she and Xia Xian had been friends for many years.
When facing Xia Xianshi, he was not too restrained. While talking, he curiously placed his hand on the pile of books around him. After gently rotating it for most of a circle, he stopped on the last book he had read.
"Xiao Xian, how on earth do you read a book? I spent the whole night reading and only read this little bit."
Liu Qingmei was curious, her watery eyes blinked, and she was very confused.
She is a cultivator, and a spiritual practitioner who is about to reach the stage of divinity. Compared with a mortal like Xia Xian, her strength is not just a little bit stronger.
With the speed at which her brain works, she could only read less than one-tenth of the books on this platform in one night.
But when she was in seclusion yesterday, she clearly felt that Xia Xian only spent one day to finish reading all the books.
Of course, reading a book does not mean simply memorizing the contents of the book.
If she simply memorized the book in her head, as a spiritual practitioner, she had many methods that could greatly improve the speed of memory.
However, as descendants of a library, they obviously do not stop at writing down the contents of a book after reading it.
To truly read and understand the content of the book, the latter part of understanding the content of the book is the most critical part and also the most energy-consuming part.
Only by analyzing and understanding word by word, point by point, and understanding the insights and thoughts of the author, can we truly absorb the wisdom of these authors.
Even her master, the owner of this library, read books carefully, bit by bit, unlike Xia Xian.
It's like a ruthless book-turning machine. Once a book is in your hand, you will flip through it non-stop until you finish reading it.
Of course, they also know that there are many ordinary people in this world who are extremely talented and are born with the ability to remember everything they see.
I have no doubt that Xia Xian can memorize all the books he reads, but does reading them mean he understands them?
The owner of the library, Bai Mulin, once had the same doubts as his apprentice Liu Qingmei, but it was obvious that they were both convinced by the answer Xia Xian handed in.
The answer sheet is naturally the pile of books that Xia Xian spent some time sorting out after he finished reading the books.
Through the arrangement of these piles of books, it is obvious that there is a certain pattern.
In addition, Xia Xian pasted a piece of paper on each pile of books, recording the approximate content of each pile.
As long as they looked at these sorted piles of books, they would naturally be able to see that Xia Xian truly understood the contents of these books.
Only in this way can these books be organized in an orderly manner.
Such terrifying reading efficiency shocked them deeply, and made them have no doubt about how smoothly Xia Xian would be able to walk on the path of spiritual practice in the future.
Such learning and comprehension abilities can be ranked among the top even among the geniuses recorded in the entire history of Heliu.
Xia Xian didn't think much about Liu Qingmei's question, and just answered casually: "Just use your eyes to see."
Hearing Xia Xian's joking words, Liu Qingmei couldn't help but walk up to Xia Xian and tapped his head with a chuckle.
"You little guy, I'm asking you seriously."
Xia Xian chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, it's actually very simple. Books are something that you will naturally read faster if you read more.
And to be honest, most of these books are nonsense, and reading them is a waste of my time and energy."
Xia Xian shook his head in dissatisfaction, picked up a book beside him, and opened a page at random. It was full of nonsense and he couldn't extract any useful information.
Hearing Xia Xian's words, Liu Qingmei couldn't help but frown and glared at him.
It seems that this little guy really likes reading, but at such a young age, he does not have enough respect and awe for those who write books and contribute to the accumulation of knowledge for mankind.
But come to think of it, apart from the people in their library who think so, no one else really cares about it.
In this regard, Liu Qingmei couldn't help but give a lecture: "Xiao Xian, you can't look down on those who write books.
Although most of them may not be as high as your future realm, they are all part of my humanity.
Their wisdom is constantly accumulated and it is the light of wisdom that will shine forever for our human race.
No matter how high your cultivation level is in the future, you will never be able to surpass the wisdom accumulated by these predecessors over countless years.
Just like you now, although you are smart and sensible at a young age, aren’t you also learning the wisdom of your predecessors and using it to improve yourself?
We can’t be the heartless people who eat with the bowl in hand and curse when we put it down.”
Although Xia Xian is not very old now, education should start from children.
Only if we shape the correct personality for him now can he become an upright person in the future.
But after hearing her words, Xia Xian didn't react much.
Not to mention that I feel disgusted by these sermons, I don't even feel much like I agree with them.
To be honest, there is no one in this world who respects life and human rights more than him.
After all, he is a person who has been influenced by the red ideology to the core, and no one understands the concept of equality for all better than him.
But in this world, although he had not seen much with his own eyes, based on what was said in these books, it was common for some monks to fight and easily affect thousands of ordinary people or weak people.
And those so-called good people won’t care much about it, and even the relatives of those affected can only bear the bad luck voluntarily.
Unless there is a bigger backer to exert pressure, it will still be a struggle for power rather than a struggle between good and evil.
Only those who have harmed the harmony of nature, killed too many innocent people, or even practiced evil methods and used the lives of their fellow tribesmen as resources for their practice will be excluded and hunted down.
Yes, people of the same ethnic group.
If you use aliens as cultivation resources, even if those aliens are sentient beings with souls, they should just be treated as normal in this world.
Even Xia Xian had seen many examples in some ancient travel notes that showed that humans were a very popular resource among some alien races!
So Fang Ming didn't care much about Liu Qingmei's words.
He just took a normal view of the wisdom passed down by these so-called predecessors, neither looking up to them nor looking down on them.
If we have to admire someone, it should be the person who promoted and passed down this process of recording and collecting the wisdom of human beings throughout the ages. They are more worthy of admiration.
Those who accomplish great things that ordinary people cannot accomplish are truly worthy of others' admiration and respect.
People who write books to pass on their wisdom are just an ordinary part of it.
Those predecessors were like that, and so was he. There was no distinction between them.
Just treat it with a normal mind.
So Xia Xian just casually echoed: "Yeah, of course, of course, thank them."
Listening to Xia Xian's words, Liu Qingmei sighed helplessly. She could naturally hear the casualness in Xia Xian's tone.
But she didn't say anything more. After all, teaching a person is not a matter of one or two days.
There is still a lot of time in the future, so she will teach slowly. It takes patience to teach someone. Saying too much at one time will be annoying and will make people more likely to dislike you. She still likes and admires Xia Xian very much.
After the two chatted for a while, Xia Xian said goodbye and left to go downstairs to read a book first.
Above, watching Xia Xian gradually walking down, Liu Qingmei turned around and looked up at the sky.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Qingmei's figure had already arrived in the owner's study on the rooftop.
Looking at the library owner who was sitting at the desk in front of her, seemingly reading a book seriously, Liu Qingmei said nothing, but just stood there quietly, looking at him.
The museum owner quietly and slowly flipped through the book in front of him, page by page, but finally he could no longer bear the death gaze of his eldest disciple.
"Alright, alright, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. You are so old and still treat me like this."
Bai Mulin raised his head helplessly and looked at Liu Qingmei beside him, with a smile and kindness flashing in his eyes.
It can be said that he raised his eldest disciple by himself. She is not only his disciple, but also his daughter.
Finally, her master took the initiative to speak and gained the upper hand in the first round. Only then did Liu Qingmei reveal a genuine smile.
Coming to Bai Mulin, he gently massaged his shoulders and said, "Master, it's been a while since we last met. I miss you so much."
Only with Baimulin could Liu Qingmei completely let down her guard and act like a daughter in front of his teacher and father.
"Okay, okay, I miss you. I miss you bothering me again!"
As an elder, he is often so tough-talking, but he couldn't help but put a smile on his usually serious face.
The two of them talked like this for a few more sentences, smoothing over the slight sense of strangeness that existed between the master and disciple, and then they got down to business.
"Master, what's going on with that little brother down there?"
The Sheng family is a big family. She could smell it from a long distance away, so it was definitely not Sheng Wuya.
Bai Mulin also knew what he meant, so he simply told him the whole story of Xia Xian's arrival from beginning to end.
After saying that, he shook his head and laughed, "This little guy is really brave. He is not afraid of being chopped alive. But I did misunderstand him. But now that such a long time has passed, I can see that he is a person who loves reading."
"If that's the case, then Master, how long will you observe him before accepting him as your disciple? I have long wanted such a lovely junior brother."
"Don't worry, Junior Brother, don't you have..."
Before Bai Mulin could finish his words, Liu Qingmei interrupted him and frowned on her round little face, revealing a look of dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, Master, don't tell me about that little bastard. I get angry just thinking about him!"
Bai Mulin just laughed after hearing this, and didn't really care about this little friction between his disciples.
On the contrary, if you watch it from time to time, you can have some fun and adjust your mood.
Speaking of Fang Ming, Liu Qingmei just vented her emotions to him, and only after venting them did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Back to the topic, Liu Qingmei asked Bai Mulin, who was drinking tea leisurely, in confusion: "Master, when are you going to accept Xiao Xian as your apprentice?"
To this question, Bai Mulin could only reply: "No hurry, no hurry."
"Oh, Master, how can I not be anxious! There are so few people like Xiao Xian who are so compatible with our heritage! If I don't hurry up, Xiao Xian will run away!"
Xia Xian's future will definitely not be limited to this mere city and clan. He may have to leave at any time. Or even if he becomes more powerful and goes straight to higher education after graduating from school, it will be too late for him!
But Bai Mulin remained calm and drank his tea calmly, with a gleam in his eyes. It was obvious that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.
When he met someone like Xia Xian who met all the requirements of inheritance, he was really tempted to take him as his disciple.
But their lineage usually can only accept three people, and this is the last one.
In the future, this library will need to be passed on. He can no longer count on Liu Qingmei and Fang Ming, so he can only bet on the last person.
So even though Xia Xian is very qualified and excellent in all aspects, compared to Xia Xian who is even more outstanding, he still wants a safer choice.
