Ten Years in Daocheng

It gradually disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness again, only the fish flickered faintly.

"Brother Xincha," Xu Liujun's voice came through the deep water, as if singing. "Did you ever feel that the night sky is quiet and cool, like water?"

Bai Xincha thought about it carefully, it really is.Then he asked: "So you put this feeling in your dream, right?"

Xu Liujun turned his head happily: "That's right! You are so smart!"

Bai Xincha felt a little embarrassed.

Part40

It is impossible to judge the time in a dream.Bai Xincha only felt that after they swam for a long time, they finally felt the solidity of the earth again under their feet.It looked like a pretty big yard all around.The yard is very clean and empty, paved with old bluestone bricks and surrounded by high blue brick walls.In the center stood a small building about the same height as Daoyun Pavilion. It had two floors in total, and the windows on the upper floor shone with orange light.

Xu Liujun gently opened the door with one hand.There are no lights on the first floor, so it is dark.Bai Xincha could only vaguely see two chairs and a small table by the light coming from the second floor.Before he could see clearly, Xu Liujun led him up the stairs excitedly.The stairs groaned unbearably, and it hadn't been repaired for many years.

Bai Xincha stayed in the dark for too long, when he suddenly saw the light, his eyes couldn't control the tears.Before he slowed down to check his surroundings, Xu Liujun said loudly: "I'm back!"

Bai Xincha was very strange: "Who are you talking to?" Before he finished asking a sentence, thousands of surprised voices broke out in the room, shouting in unison:

"Liu Jun, you're back!"

Bai Xincha was really frightened.It's enough to hold a few people here, but if there are really so many people crowded together, they have to be crushed one by one.Could it be that this is actually the entrance of another mustard seed?He forcefully opened his tearful eyes—the small attic was empty, and a few lamps hanging on one side of the wall shone brightly on the densely packed bookshelves on the other side.There is only a gap between the bookshelves for one person to pass through, and the bookshelves are full of large and small books.

"Who is talking?" Bai Xincha took advantage of the temporary silence of the group of voices, and carefully asked Xu Liujun's ear.

Xu Liujun turned his head to the side and was about to answer, but a sharp voice interrupted him: "Liu Jun, Liu Jun! Look at me, look at me!"

Bai Xincha followed the direction where the voice came from.But where is the shadow of someone?Seeing him like this, Xu Liujun grinned happily, led him past two rows of bookshelves, and tiptoed to pull out a thick and large book.

"Where have you been?" The high-pitched thin voice sounded again, "You've only seen me halfway, and the best part hasn't arrived yet. They all laughed at me and said I was unattractive!"

Bai Xincha's eyes widened - this book is actually talking?And seems to be... angry?

Xu Liujun replied with a good temper: "I'm really sorry, I went to the Daocheng School. But look, this is a good friend I know, Senior Brother Xincha."

He lifted the book up and brought it close to Bai Xincha's face.Bai Xincha didn't have enough brains, and didn't know how to react for a while, so she froze in place.

The book let out a "hum", then fell silent, and seemed to start to sulk.Bai Xincha caught a glimpse of "Spell Variations and Derived Spells" written on the spine of this book, and vaguely remembered that there was also such a copy in the library of the Daocheng School, but no one read it at all, and it was placed on the top shelf of the bookshelf , it is estimated that it is now covered with dust.

Perhaps Xu Liujun was really angry when he saw "Spell Variations and Their Derived Spells", so he comforted him more patiently: "I wanted to take you to Daocheng, but the master refused. I will read you after I come back." , okay?"

As soon as these words came out, more voices chirped and chirped in.

"Liu Jun, why don't you take me there? You've seen me three times. Am I not as good as it?"

"I've been watched five times, what did I say? "Spell Variants and Derived Spells" is squeamish!"

"Enough of you, are you trying to get angry? I'm still brand new!"

More books joined the discussion, and Bai Xincha could no longer hear what they were saying.At this time, a deep and deep voice came from the bookshelf directly opposite: "Stop arguing!"

As soon as Bai Xincha looked up, he found the source of the voice.It was the "Fuyuan" that he was all too familiar with, and it was dropped on his feet just a few days ago.

Part41

The book "Fu Yuan" seems to be very effective in speaking, and now everyone stopped clamoring.The small space fell silent.Xu Liujun said gratefully to it: "Thank you very much."

"You?" Bai Xincha captured this key word very sensitively.

"Yes," Xu Liujun said earnestly, "This book belongs to Master, who is much older than me."

"Oh——" Bai Xincha was familiar with everything here, so he took out this "Fu Yuan".The tome said proudly: "Here comes another good boy who loves to read. I have recorded the principles of spells in the world, and many books here use me as a reference."

Xu Liujun immediately continued cheerfully: "Yes, in addition to the "Spell Variations and Derived Spells" that quoted you, there are also "Daily Spells", "Offensive Spells and Their Defenses", "Spells and Spells" Yujian", "A new edition of Talismans and Yujian"..." He counted all the treasures, and coaxed "Fu Yuan" very happily.

Bai Xincha laughed, lowered her head and opened the heavy book, feeling that Xu Liujun like this was very cute.

Because "Fu Yuan" is too old and has been flipped through too many times, the pages of the book have turned yellow and are badly worn.But Xu Liujun should have paid great attention to protection and done some processing, so the book does not have curled corners or folded pages.Bai Xincha flipped through it a few times, and found that almost every page had scribbled annotations in tiny handwriting.He read a few sentences and felt very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Did you write it?" Bai Xincha asked Xu Liujun.

The latter shook his head: "It wasn't me, it was written by Master."

"Xie Wei'an?" Bai Xincha frowned and read it carefully, feeling even more familiar.He bit his lip and thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through his mind:

"'Senior brother's spell'! I guessed it right, the booklet in Daoyun Pavilion's "Fuyuan" records the spell that Xie Wei'an created himself!"

The notes in front of me and the contents of the booklet in my memory gradually overlapped.He flipped back quickly again, and suddenly a very old piece of paper fell out of nowhere.Bai Xincha picked it up, glanced at it and was even more surprised.

The lowercase letters on it are exactly the same as the font on the 'Senior Brother's Charm'!

Bai Xincha never expected such an important discovery in Xu Liujun's dream, so he hurriedly read the words on the piece of paper by the light.

Brother An:

I know you always read "Fuyuan" and you will see this note sooner or later.I've looked for you many times, but you didn't listen to me.The transfiguration spell last time almost caused a catastrophe, and now your forgotten spell is even more likely to cause irreversible damage to people!But I think we can always find a way to crack it, so you must not use it before that!

Brother is regular

"Regular?" A thunderous thunder exploded in Bai Xincha's mind.

Master?

Part42

Bai Xincha suddenly turned to look at Xu Liujun.The latter's eyes dodged for a moment, and Bai Xincha noticed it.

"Junior Liu Jun, have you read this note?"

"No! I didn't..."

Bai Xincha thought about it for a while before he discovered the loophole: "If you haven't seen it, how could it appear in your dream? This can't be something you imagined out of thin air, right?"

Xu Liujun pursed his lips and lowered his head, silent.

Bai Xincha suddenly felt that everything had a breakthrough: "The forgetting spell was created by Master Xie, and my master recorded in his notes that it can be solved with blood. But when Xie Wei'an cast the spell on me that day, you told me Blood was smeared on the talisman! How do you know how to break this talisman? You already knew that my master and your master are brothers, right?"

Xu Liujun was silent for a long time.

Seeing him in a difficult situation, Bai Xincha also realized that she was too impatient, and suddenly she couldn't bear it: "Junior Liu Jun, if you don't want to speak up, don't speak up, I won't force you."

Xu Liujun raised his head, full of guilt: "Brother Xincha, that day you were injured by Master for taking me to see Hantan. I am really sorry for you."

Bai Xincha shook his head to comfort him: "It's okay, do you think I'm alright? I haven't thanked you for saving me yet."

Hearing what he said, Xu Liujun became even more uneasy. After struggling for a while, he said, "I don't want to hide it from you. I already knew that Master and Master Yang are brothers. In fact, Master Yang will come...to see me every year. He was afraid that I would be lonely, so he always brought me a lot of books. I saw this note a long time ago, so I asked him when he was a year old. I didn't expect him to tell the solution all at once. Me, and taught me how to write spells..."

"My master visits you every year? Are you relatives?" Bai Xincha was curious.

"No, no..." Xu Liujun showed a very embarrassed look.

"Then don't ask!" Bai Xincha waved his hands generously, and changed the subject thoughtfully: "Are all the books here given to you by my master?"

Xu Liujun felt relieved: "Master Yang's books are all here!" He picked up Bai Xincha and walked a few steps, pointing to a row of bookshelves and said, "This is the book collection pavilion of the Shaoyang School, so the other books are master's books. stay here."

"Oh?" Bai Xincha was very interested in the book that Master gave to Junior Brother Liu Jun, touching the book
