Early the next morning, Li Changyi came to the library of the upper courtyard.
I came not only to return books, but also to see if any new books had been received.
Hanshan Academy is one of the most prestigious Confucian academies in the central part of Gezhou in the north, with a rich collection of books.
But in the past ten years, Li Changyi, who has read nearly ten thousand volumes, has read almost all the books in the upper and lower academies.
If the academy did not receive new books, he would have to pay for them out of his own pocket, which was not a pleasant thing.
The upper courtyard library is built under a large camphor tree and is guarded by an old man.
This old man has gray hair, withered skin, and is rickety and lean. He lies on a rocking chair and smokes with a big cigarette stick in his mouth all day long. He is very unmannered, but both the deputy mountain chiefs and the mountain chief treat him very well.
It’s respect, calling him Mr. Banshan.
Li Changyi and other students naturally did not dare to neglect him.
But for some unknown reason, Mr. Banshan didn't seem to like Li Chang very much, and he had a bad look every time he came.
Fortunately, there is nothing stopping him from joining the cabinet.
When Li Guanyi arrived this time, Mr. Banshan was lying on the rocking chair and taking a nap. The sparkling smoke stick was still lying on his chest, and he was not afraid of being burned.
"Mr. Banshan!" Li Changyue greeted.
The old man didn't react at all, only the old rocking chair rocked back and forth.
Li Chaoyi was not surprised and walked directly to the library.
The smelly old man doesn't want to see him, so there are people who want to see him.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the pavilion, an almost transparent shadow floated up to greet him.
"My dear, you came today as expected. I calculated the days and you should finish reading the batch of books you borrowed last time."
Qianying was so enthusiastic that she flew directly in front of Li Qianyou's face.
This is one of the seven book spirits born in the library of the upper courtyard, and is named Haoyu.
"Sister Haoyu, it will take some time to finish reading those books. Isn't it because I miss you sisters? That's why I kept the lights on and read them all day and night."
"Hey, you still have a sweet mouth as a kid, and Xie Jiazi borrows a lot of books, so he's not as lovable as you."
Shu Ling covered her mouth and smiled softly, her delicate body trembling, almost shaking herself to death.
It took a lot of effort to stabilize the transparent figure, but I was still very happy.
"Sister Haoyu, where are the other sisters?"
"Today I am on duty. The other six sisters heard that a theater troupe has come to the town at the foot of the mountain. There is a story about Shu Ling and the Mohist ranger traveling together in the world, so they went to watch the theater together."
"Then my sister was on duty, but she was at a loss."
"It's not a bad thing, the ranger of the Mo family is not as good as my family."
After joking about it, Shuling helped Li Chaoyi return the dozens of books he borrowed last time.
"Sister Haoyu, have there been any new books in the pavilion recently?"
"some."
Shu Ling waved his delicate hand, and hundreds of newly purchased books instantly floated in front of Li Chaoyi.
Li went through the selection process and finally ordered a hundred copies.
"Young man, there are a few new volumes of secret books that are in the private collection of the pavilion master. They are not included in the pavilion. Do you want them?" Shu Ling suddenly came close to Li Chuangye's ear and asked mysteriously.
The so-called pavilion master is the lean old man lying outside.
"What secret book?" Li Changye was a little curious.
Shu Ling stretched out her slender hand, and three books appeared out of thin air in her palm.
Li Chaoyi took a closer look and found that they were "Xitian Bliss Buddha Ginseng Joyful Zen", "Changchun Taoism's Yin and Yang Cultivation Method", and "Secret Records of the Empresses of the Wei Dynasty's Invitation to Pets for Sexual Intercourse".
When you open it, you will see that there are illustrations in each book.
Hey, it turns out to be this kind of book.
"Do you want?"
Li glanced at the old man lying asleep outside.
"want!"
…
After borrowing the books, Li Changyi returned to Tingxi Garden.
I received news in the afternoon that Xie Jiashu went down the mountain to study.
The sun sets in the west and it’s evening again in a blink of an eye.
While Li Changyi was reading in the pavilion, walking on the bluestone steps leading from the lower courtyard to the upper courtyard at the foot of the mountain, was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in yellow clothes.
Walking in the Confucian academy, this girl was holding a bright silver spear and wearing a yellow dress. She looked very heroic.
On the way, she heard some gossip and frowned slightly.
Then he turned sideways and looked somewhere.
…
Maple Leaf Cottage is the dormitory for students in the upper courtyard of Hanshan Academy.
As a student at Shangshe, Guo An lived alone in a courtyard with a few friends.
In the evening, several other people either went to evening classes or went to visit the small town at the foot of the mountain. Only Guo An stayed in the room to warm up and study.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and the entire courtyard suddenly shook.
At the same time, a violent and sharp golden murderous aura swept across every corner.
Guo An reacted immediately, and in a flash, he was already in the courtyard.
I saw a large bright silver gun stuck sideways in the open space in the courtyard.
He looked up into the sky and saw a girl in yellow clothes coming through the air.
"Qiu Susu? You..."
"Guo, how dare you slander and insult my senior brother in public, I'll give you a shot!"
As the girl in Huang Shang shouted, the bright gun on the ground immediately flew up, returned to her hand, and then shot Guo An.
"You and I……"
boom!
A fierce battle broke out in Maple Leaf Cottage.
After half a cup of tea, the battle in the yard ended.
The girl in Huang Shang landed in a secluded corner and held her gun on the ground.
The originally heroic girl has become bruised and embarrassed.
"Well, I have to get rid of the bruises before going back, so as not to be seen by senior brother." The girl in Huang Shang rubbed her sore and swollen cheeks with her hands and murmured in a low voice.
After looking around to make sure no one saw it, it turned into a ray of yellow light and quickly swept across the uninhabited valley in the back mountain.
Let’s raise it for a few days first and then talk about it.
…
The courtyard where Guo An lives in Maple Leaf Cottage is already in a mess.
He himself was even more miserable. His hat had fallen somewhere, his hair was scattered, his gown was torn, and he was covered in mud. He looked like a beggar.
The face that was originally quite passable has become swollen like a pig's head, making it almost impossible to see anyone.
But the huge movement still attracted people.
A senior student who lived in the same hospital was very surprised when he came back and saw this messy and miserable scene.
"Brother Ziming, what happened?"
Ziming was Guo An's nickname. When he heard what his roommate said, he looked very embarrassed. After being silent for a while, he still told the truth.
"Is it the autumn rustling?"
"Hey, I said you had nothing to do to provoke Li Xiang. You know clearly that the three brothers and sisters are always on the same page, but you still slander him in public. Isn't this what you asked for?"
"That is to say, his second junior brother Yu Dubai has not returned from his study trip, otherwise he would definitely have to come to his door. If so, the consequences will be even more uncontrollable."
The roommate shook his head and lamented.
Guo An looked even more embarrassed and a little regretful.
