[Sword Spirit + Comprehensive Martial Arts] Bamboo Village Inn

This is not an accidental coincidence.

Chu Liuxiang said cheerfully: "I brought Huamanlou this time because I wanted to see a congratulatory gift. Someone wanted to give a pair of "Unknown Painting" that I traveled abroad during the Tang Dynasty, and then returned to the Central Plains after going around. .”

Nameless painting?Xiao Gen asked: "What's the name of the painting?"

Chu Liuxiang continued to be cheerful: "It's called "No Name Painting"."

Xiaogen: "..."

Chu Liuxiang and Hua Manlou wandered around outside for half a year, wearing nondescript clothes, ancient but a bit modern, similar to Xiao Gen's dressing style.

Gong Jiu noticed that both of them had rings on their fingers: "Rings?"

Hua Manlou raised his hand to make Gong Jiu and Xiao Gen look at it more carefully: "Is it good-looking? We just ordered it from a foreign bank the day before yesterday. I heard that this ring was designed by a designer from country Y a hundred years ago for his beloved. It took more than five years, but it was snatched away by the rival in love. The rival hid the ring until his own death, to show that I can't get anyone, and also to take away the proof of your love."

Xiao Gen understood why Chu Liuxiang had been laughing since she appeared until now, Ganqing was so happy in her heart that she couldn't stop giggling the whole time.

Every sentence of Chu Liuxiang carried his drowning smile: "This pair of rings is called 'Unrequited Love'. It means not only the love for you in this life until death, but also the meaning of desperate love. It is the designer and the rival. One's feelings for that woman."

A very meaningful pair of rings.

However, this can only show off in front of singles.

Xiao Gen expressed his displeasure, you'd better push me hard to make me happy, otherwise I can't help but burn you to death.In order to prevent himself from really burning these two loving people to death, Xiao Gen looked at Chu Liuxiang: "Put the ring aside, let's talk about the business first. I was still talking about you just now. Go, help me open the door of that building in Xia's house. "

that building?

Chu Liuxiang and Hua Manlou glanced at each other.

……

Those with well-developed limbs and simple minds are reckless. The Xia family can survive for a thousand years and become a family of one generation. Naturally, they are not reckless. To put it more appropriately, they should be tyrants or loyalists.

To put it in layman's terms, the Xia family is capable of writing and martial arts, can recite poems and books at the top, and can fight tigers at the bottom.

The Xia family's library is also very well built, the kind that combines classical and modern, east and west.

But no matter how powerful it was, in the hands of Chu Liuxiang, it instantly turned into an ordinary small building.

While operating, Chu Liuxiang instructed and explained: "This kind of door is very easy to open as long as you know the method. Insert the upper and lower keys at the same time, turn the upper key half a turn, and the lower key a quarter turn. The threaded knob in the middle of the door points to After a certain degree, the door can be opened."

Seeing that Chu Liuxiang was so proficient at opening the door, Gong Jiu asked, "How do you know how to open this door?"

It is possible for the door to be the same, but the angle of rotation of the key and the angle of rotation of the threaded button are unlikely to be the same.

Chu Liuxiang opened the door: "I saw someone opened it."

Hua Manlou added: "We came earlier than you."

I don't know what kind of alloy the door of the library is made of, and it presumably cannot be broken by ordinary martial arts.

The method of opening the door is not that complicated, so all the books displayed in the Cangshu Pavilion can be read openly.

To make people look at it aboveboard, it is also necessary to follow the normal channels.

Xiao Gen walked into the library, a little dazed.Straight ahead is another door, another door to the left, and stairs going up to the right.

Everyone looked at Chu Liuxiang to see how he continued to open the door.

Chu Liuxiang was also a little confused, she didn't expect the second door to appear so soon.

"Different rooms should contain different books. Whether it's these two doors or the door you encounter after going upstairs, the harder the door to open, the more important the things inside." Hua Manlou turned the door knocker directly in front of him.

Xiao Gen, Gong Jiu: "..."

The door opened.

Hua Manlou paused, and looked at Chu Liuxiang with a broken smile: "It seems that the books on the ground floor are all unimportant."

Chu Liuxiang shrugged: "Go ahead and take a look."

Xiaogen stepped into the door.

Martial arts families will definitely have secret books, but Xiao Gen feels that those secret books should not be placed in such an obvious building.Sure enough, the books that caught the eye after entering the door were all miscellaneous books and related collections, as well as various official books, such as white papers and blue books.

Xiaogen was a little disappointed.

After Chu Liuxiang closed the door, he began to fiddle with the door on the left.

The door on the left had a simpler lock than the main door, and it was pried open by Chu Liuxiang in two or three clicks.The Xia family's work is open and aboveboard, and I'm afraid they won't lose anything if the paper figurines come, so there isn't even an alarm in this building.

Looking at Chu Liuxiang's relaxed posture, Gong Jiu shook his head: "I really don't know whether we should praise the Xia family." This heart is really too big, and there are no defensive measures at all.

Xiao Gen glanced at the room, then turned his head to go upstairs: "I hope there's something I'm looking forward to."

On the surface, there are only four floors in the library building, and each floor has about two to three rooms, all of which are quite spacious.All the way to the top, none of the four found anything interesting.

Xiao Gen began to fantasize: "Could there be some dark room that we haven't discovered?"

Chu Liuxiang refused to accept it: "Little boss, you don't believe my level."

Xiao Gen also knows that people in this world can do anything to prevent Chu Liuxiang from stealing things.And the Xia family didn't intend to guard against anyone, so it was impossible to think so much.

But so far he hasn't found what he wants, Xiao Gen is very unhappy.

He showed his displeasure directly on his face, without expression at all.

Gong Jiu opened the room on the top floor, turned around and found Xiao Gen's face was not good-looking, and laughed inwardly.As Xiao Gen grows up, his facial features have grown. From the original delicate face to the angular handsome face, the appearance has changed so much, but the mind is more and more easy to see through.

Xiao Gen: "See what I do?"

Gong Jiu then looked into the room: "Huh? Are you interested in family history?"

family history?Xiao Gen quickened his pace and went straight into the room, and saw the family histories lined up on the bookshelf at a glance.The family history of the Xia family—the Si family can be traced back thousands of years ago. The rows of family histories, one hundred years old, are amazing.

Chu Liuxiang searched and found two books of recent years: "Which one do you want to read first, little boss?"

Xiao Gen took the latest one, only to find that it was handwritten after opening it.Gong Jiu took another book, the family history of the last century, which was printed by machine.

Hua Manlou's eyesight has not yet fully recovered, but he can still see the difference between the two: "It should be reorganized every 100 years. The latest one is less than [-] years old, so it is recorded every year by a special person."

Xiao Gen let out a "huh" and looked down.

Huamanlou was more interested in the information from thousands of years ago, so she went to find the first book.

Gong Jiu reads books very fast, skimming away the unimportant ones, before Xiao Gen reads halfway through, he has already finished reading a book, and then filters the information in his mind aside.

Xiaogen raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Gong Jiuhou, and then immersed himself in studying hard.

After Xiao Gen finished the latest book, he let out a deep breath: "Sure enough, when there are more people, there will be more things to do."

Huamanlou was the slowest reader, and Chu Liuxiang didn't dare to let Huamanlou read for a long time.Seeing that Xiao Gen and Gong Jiu had stopped, he took the book out of Hua Manlou's hand.

Hua Manlou seemed to wake up suddenly, and even the usual smile disappeared: "This book says that in the ancestor's time, there were people who achieved great martial arts and became immortals. There is also a comment from a hundred years ago that a member of the He family really In the era of the ancestors, he really became a fairy."

Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows in disbelief: "Things that happened thousands of years ago are only rumored and exaggerated."

Gong Jiu opened his eyes and touched the book in his hand: "I also mentioned in this book that the He family ranked seventh in the last hundred years, since no one became a fairy a thousand years ago, he was only one step away from stepping into it." The people in the fairy world were killed by their own wife, someone from the Chen family."

Xiao Gen answered: "I have recorded in this book the sharp struggles between the Chen family and the He family over the years. The Ke family profited from it, and the Xia family suffered heavy casualties in order to maintain neutrality. Until the Chen family's twin children lost their arms. After being dealt with, the Chen family sent the child to the Xia family, and then the struggle between the four great families began to ease."

Chu Liuxiang: "...It sounds like we are going to intervene in an extremely complicated matter."

Xiao Gen gave the book in his hand to Gong Jiu, took the book in Gong Jiu's arms, and raised the corner of his mouth: "I guess, the so-called becoming a fairy is probably turning into a dummy. That is to say, the paper man's The purpose is actually how to break through the so-called real limit.”

"Why don't you say that the purpose of the paper figurine is to become a fairy?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

"Because I have never seen a fairy." Xiao Gen said, "I would rather believe that the so-called becoming a fairy is to break through a barrier, step into another world and survive."

Gong Jiu opened the book: "Your words make me feel that life is meaningless whether it is true or not. I wanted to kill my father before, but it also means nothing. Anyway, people live to survive."

After hearing Gong Jiu's words, Hua Manlou regained his smile: "That's true. At the beginning of life, we just live for the sake of living, and later on, those emotions are the most attachments. Whether it's love, family affection, or friendship, Or the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in doing things... even the emotions generated by fighting and revenge, those are the things that make people feel that they are truly alive."

Huamanlou is always healing.

Xiao Gen saw that Huamanlou and Chu Liuxiang had started their daily dog ​​abuse again.He didn't open the book, but looked at Gong Jiu.Gong Jiu's heart should be depressive.

It seems that after Xiao Gen met Gong Jiu, except for the first fight, he had seen Gong Jiu lose his temper once, but he had never seen Gong Jiu crazy.

Gong Nine...
