——————————————————————
Anyone who is qualified to hang around here and can barely understand a few martial arts books and gain some knowledge is very good. As for those who can read a lot of books on the ninth floor and understand everything, they are all geniuses among geniuses. After going out,
They are all legendary figures in the continent, extremely powerful men like the Great Mage Gray.
Therefore, it is very rare for an ordinary college to set foot on the ninth floor of the library.
The behavior of this ordinary student was also very strange. He would just flip through the cover of each book and quickly put it back to its original place.
This uninvited guest was naturally Gu Yao. He walked from the first to the eighth floors but did not see this ancient martial arts book, so he went to the ninth floor.
However, after walking around on the ninth floor, there was still nothing gained. Gu Yao was greatly disappointed. Even the library of the Holy Academy couldn't find any ancient literary and military scriptures. So where can there be any on the mainland?
Come to think of it, the Luo Empire reformed writing more than three thousand years ago. After a long time, most of the ancient civil and military classics have probably been lost, tattered, or become the prey of moths.
"rustle……"
A slight sound interrupted Gu Yao's thoughts, and then he saw an old man coming next to him. He was cleaning the library with a broom. Although almost no one stepped on it and the ground was very clean, he was still meticulous.
The old man's beard and hair are all white, he is at least eighty or ninety years old, but his face is red and he is full of energy. Perhaps thanks to the water and soil of the Holy Land, people here are generally healthy and live longer, and they still do not show signs of decline even in their sixties.
state.
Gu Yao's heart moved and he walked over and said, "Old man?"
The old man stopped what he was doing and raised his head: "This classmate, are you calling me?"
Gu Yao nodded and said, "Yes."
"Is there a problem?"
"Um, old man, have you been working here for a long time?"
"Of course!" the old man replied immediately.
Perhaps cleaning all day long was a boring job, and it was rare for someone to strike up a conversation with him. He did not appear unhappy because his work was interrupted. On the contrary, he looked very happy. He clasped his fingers and said, "Let me calculate, it seems to be sixty-two years and zero."
Three months plus nineteen days.”
"Oh, your memory is really good!" Gu Yao was a little impressed. Only a dedicated person could remember it so clearly. He continued to ask: "Then you should be very familiar with the ninth floor."
"Haha, of course. I have to clean and organize these classics once a week. I know them very well."
"This is really great. Well, by the way, do you know if there are ancient Chinese books on the ninth floor?"
"Ancient Chinese and Martial Arts?" The old man looked a little surprised: "I have been doing cleaning work on the ninth floor of the college for more than sixty years. When I ask students about ancient Chinese and martial arts, you are still the fifth, haha."
Gu Yao said anxiously: "So, is it there or not?"
The old man stroked his beard and did not answer directly: "Classmate, what do you need ancient Chinese classics for? You must know that they have been eliminated long ago. If it is for study, I think modern Chinese classics will be more suitable."
"This is because I am very interested in ancient history. There are endless great men among our ancestors. They have done countless things that have shaken the past and made us admire today. I want to know more about them."
The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "Is that so?"
Of course this is just Gu Yao's lie, but it cannot be revealed.
"Yes," he almost begged: "Uncle, if there are ancient Chinese books, please tell me where they are."
"No!" the old man replied simply and neatly. Just when Gu Yao showed a disappointed look, he added: "At least not here."
At least?
Gu Yao was shocked: "What do you mean..."
"The books displayed here are all modern Chinese classics after the reform, but..." the old man changed his tone at this point, pointed to the top and said: "There are quite a few up there."
Gu Yao said in astonishment: "Isn't there only nine floors in the library? The top should be the roof?"
It's really strange that the academy puts the martial arts canon on the roof of the building.
The old man quickly solved Gu Yao's confusion: "No, there is another half floor, which is a storage room for miscellaneous materials. It is specially used to store discarded books. There are ancient Chinese classics you need."
Gu Yao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Old man, can you take me to see it?"
"Of course it's no problem," the old man said with a hearty smile: "It's a good thing to know more about history. Today's young people think about cultivation all day long. No one cares about history. How can they forget the past? It's so outrageous...
"
After fussing around, he took Gu Yao to the terrace behind the ninth floor. There was an iron door here, even the big lock was rusty, and it seemed that it had not been opened for a long time.
The old man took out a bunch of keys from his arms, found one of them and inserted it in, but he couldn't open it after twisting it several times.
The old man frowned: "Oh, what should I do? It seems that it can't be opened. There has always been something wrong with this lock, and now it seems to be broken."
"Let me try it."
"you?"
"If I have more strength, maybe I can open it?"
"Classmate, you don't need strength to open a lock." The old man handed the key to Gu Yao anyway, and warned: "Be careful. If you force it, the key will be broken inside. That would be really bad."
no solution anymore."
"Yes, I will pay attention." Gu Yao responded perfunctorily. He was a thief, and it was not easy to open the lock, even if he didn't have a key.
This old man is obviously just an ordinary person who is not familiar with martial arts. Gu Yao is not worried that the identity of the thief will be revealed in front of him, but he always has to show off. After pretending to poke it with the key a few times, the inside of the lock is indeed a bit rusty.
However, this small problem obviously didn't bother him. After fiddling with it for a while, he heard a crisp "click" sound and the big lock opened.
The old man gave a thumbs up: "Classmate, you'd better do it, I'm old."
"No, you are still very tough. It would be great if I can still be as energetic as you when I reach this age." Gu Yao lost no time in flattering him.
Flattery is something that everyone loves to eat, regardless of gender or age. When the old man heard this, his face almost blossomed, and he looked like he was more than ten years younger: "Come, I will take you up to have a look."
