Shen Gurong lay down for a while, then lifted up his white hair, stood up and walked out slowly.

He should think about how a person should go to the library in Lirenfeng.

Just as I was thinking about it, I came out of Zhibai Hall and saw Mu Ban standing under a mulberry tree not far away holding a stack of paper. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Shen Gurong raised his eyebrows and walked in slowly.

Mu Ban saw him coming and nodded slightly: "Master."

Shen Gurong said: "What are you doing here?"

Mu Ban lowered his head and said respectfully: "We will wait for Master to return to Fanjiangju together."

Shen Gurong was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Mu Ban to wait for him.

Shen Gurong thought for a moment and roughly guessed that the young protagonist was trying to repay his kindness for saving him before. He gave a short laugh and said lightly: "Before returning to Fanjiangju, I have to go to the library. You can do whatever you want. Let me go together."

Mu Ban had never seen Shen Gurong smile before, so he looked up in shock when he heard the sound. When he met Shen Gurong's gentle and respectful eyes, he was suddenly stunned.

Shen Gurong saw Mu Ban suddenly sluggish and tilted his head slightly: "Huh? What?"

Mu Ban suddenly came to his senses and immediately lowered his head: "Yes."

Shen Gurong firmly grasped the pastoral signpost, as if grasping hope.

He was about to ask Mu Ban to lead the way, but Mu Ban took the initiative to lead him half a step ahead.

Shen Gurong nodded and looked at Xiao Mu's black hair, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

This kid has clear grudges.

The library is located in Jiuchun Mountain, not far from Fanjiangju.

The two walked across the rope bridge and walked slowly down the mountain steps.

Both sides of the mountain steps are lined with lush, towering trees, which block out the sun and cool breeze. After a short walk, you arrive at the library at Liren Peak.

The elder of the library was basking in the sun in front of the library. When he saw Shen Gurong approaching, he almost fell off the soft couch. He immediately got up in a hurry and saluted: "I have met the Holy Lord."

Shen Gurong was almost used to all the timid attitudes towards him, and nodded: "I'm here to find a book."

The elder hurriedly opened the carved wooden door of the library and welcomed the two people in.

According to legend, Lirenfeng Library has the largest collection of books in the entire Three Realms and Kyushu. Even the imperial family of Jingzhou once sent people to borrow original books. However, Xi Guxing did not want to be involved with the mortal world, so he would not borrow any books from the library. Send people away.

Shen Gurong walked among the rows of bookshelves. The library was divided into classics and history, and the four floors of the library were all filled with books.

The elder held the mermaid candle and led the way: "What book does the Holy Lord want?"

Shen Gurong said: "Kun Map."

"The Map of Kun is on the fourth floor." The elder led him up the wooden steps. There were very few people coming to the library, and the surrounding area was filled with the damp smell of wood. "The Master just updated the Map of Kun of Kyushu three years ago. There are only a few of them in the Three Realms. Cities, villages and towns are all there.”

Shen Gurong nodded, turned his head and glanced at Mu Ban, who was following silently behind him, and said, "Is there any book you want to borrow?"

Mu Ban was silently climbing the stairs. He didn't expect that Shen Gurong would ask him. He was stunned and was about to shake his head. Suddenly he seemed to remember something and nodded stiffly.

Shen Gurong said: "Then you go, you don't have to accompany me."

Mu Ban: "Yes."

Shen Gurong followed the elder and continued upstairs.

Soon, the two went to the fourth floor.

The fourth floor was empty, with only real books placed on the four walls, and an illusory map placed in the center.

The elder said: "Holy Lord, this is the map of Kunyu."

This was the first time that Shen Gurong saw such a map that could float in the air. This map of Kunming seemed to scale the vast world on a piece of paper. It contained mountains, rivers, and densely packed towns and cities. You could still vaguely hear it from a distance. The sound of the gurgling river.

Shen Gurong was amazed when he saw it.

The elder rarely saw this reclusive sage. Seeing that he was interested in the map of Kun, he quickly asked: "Which city does the sage want to find?"

Shen Gurong thought for a while and said, "Can you know about any city?"

"Exactly." The elder said, "It has been a thousand years since we left the Human Peak, but all the cities that have existed within a thousand years have been recorded."

Shen Gurong unconsciously rubbed the wooden bead on his wrist, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Have you ever returned to the city of Lucheng in the past thousand years?"

The elder bowed slightly: "Holy Lord, wait a moment."

He walked to the books beside the wall, rummaged through them for a moment, and said, "Holy Lord, there is no such city in the Three Realms."

Shen Gurong: "Are you sure?"

The elder nodded: "Exactly."

Shen Gurong breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Okay, I understand."

Shen Fengxue is only over a hundred years old. He has not "returned to Luocheng" in this world for thousands of years, which shows that he has truly traveled through the fictional book.

"Does the Holy Lord need anything else?"

Shen Gurong shook his head: "Thank you very much."

The elder was startled, nodded quickly and said he didn't dare.

After Shen Gurong went downstairs, Mu Ban was already waiting at the door with the books he wanted to borrow.

"What book did you borrow?"

Mu Ban showed him a yellow book in his hand, with two large characters written on it - "Ask the Heart".

Shen Gurong didn't think much and left with Mu Ban.

On the way back to Fanjiangju, Mu Ban remained silent, and Shen Gurong was impatient of loneliness. This opportunity would naturally change Mu Ban's impression of him as a "beast".

He casually started talking: "Where is Yu Xinghe?"

Mu banished him and replied: "He lives in the residence of the outer disciples and goes back after morning classes."

Shen Gurong turned to look at him: "Outer disciple?"

Mu Ban froze and said in a low voice: "I... Tong Xinghe was afraid that staying at Jiuchun Mountain would disturb the Master, so he moved to Changying Mountain without authorization. I hope Master will punish me."

Shen Gurong thought to himself, for Shen Fengxue, a cannibal with good intentions who does bad things, it is only normal for you to move away to stay away from trouble.

Xi Guxing had said this before. At that time, Shen Gurong thought that these two gangsters were staying with Lisuo at the residence of the inner sect disciples, so he didn't pay attention.

If Shen Fengxue is an entry disciple and lives in another sect and is an outer disciple, what will the other disciples think of these two people?

"No problem." Shen Gurong said, "Just let Yu Xinghe move back as soon as possible."

Mu Ban's face turned pale.

Although he didn't know why he suddenly heard Shen Gurong's inner thoughts, he always felt that it was extremely impolite to pry into other people's hearts without permission. Unless he had to use his spiritual power, he would rarely take the initiative to pry into Shen Gurong's consciousness.

But now, Mu Ban's heart trembled slightly, and he suddenly had an uncontrollable desire to pry into what Shen Gurong was thinking.

Being able to control the consciousness of the person who is most threatening to him is almost a twisted temptation for the young Mu Ban.

It feels like there are two little people, one black and one white, fighting with each other in my heart.

"Don't pry into other people's consciousness at will."

"Before, Shen Fengxue was able to invade my sea of ​​consciousness at will. Why can't I look at his in turn?"

"Master will beat me to death if he knows."

"It was him who injected spiritual power into my Dantian. If you want to blame it, it's also his own fault."

Mu Ban pressed his forehead with a headache. In the end, he was still too young and worried that Shen Gurong would be harmful to Yu Xinghe, so he still couldn't control himself to use the spiritual power in his body again.

Shen Gurong thought to himself: "It would be great to come back and live there. If I come back here, I can make dumplings every day."

"Yu Xinghe still has a good temper. He can be hugged and rubbed when he is asked. Unlike this little brat, he can't even be hugged."

Mu Xiaozi: "..."

Shen Gurong seemed to be obsessed with tossing Mu for relegation. Even though Yu Xinghe happily acted stupid in front of him every day, Shen Gurong didn't even look at him.

This time, Shen Gurong suddenly asked Yu Xinghe to come back. Mu Ban thought he was having some bad idea, but he didn't expect to hear these words.

Shen Gurong: "When will Mu Ban be willing to let me hold him?"

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban stumbled, his foot sprained, and he fell directly to the bottom of the three flights of stairs.

Shen Gurong was startled, and instinctively stretched out his hand to pull Mu Ban into his arms.

Mu Ban was still in shock and looked at him in astonishment.

Shen Gurong hugged him tightly and lowered his eyes slightly.

"Hey, this kid looks cold, but he's quite soft when you hold him."

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban's face turned slightly green.

Shen Gurong sat him down on the steps, with one knee on the stone steps below. Regardless of Mu Ban's weak struggle, he held Mu Ban's calf and gently squeezed Mu Ban's ankle.
