Upon hearing Ji Yuan's request, the City God and his subordinate officers looked at each other, somewhat confused.
"This... Mr. Ji, what do you want these for?"
"Of course it is for reference and practice! I am also a person seeking immortality, but I have no way to rely on. I hope that the City God can help me. Ji Yuan will remember this kindness!"
This time is different from the last time in Ning'an County. Even though it was an accidental help, Ji Yuan really helped a lot that time.
This time it was just a snake spirit with shallow skills, and there was even a little misunderstanding between the two parties at the beginning. However, those who can become the City God are all people of great virtue and talent in their lifetime, and they have accumulated merits and virtues, so they still have this kind of magnanimity after they have apologized sincerely.
Ji Yuan has done all the work he can and has been as sincere as possible. In the final analysis, he has helped a little, but whether it can succeed depends on the other party. If not, he will not force it.
The City God of Suiyuan County and his subordinates were somewhat confused. This request was certainly not excessive. It was just to refer to some unimportant classics. However, they had preconceived notions of placing Ji Yuan in a high position, so they were naturally a little puzzled by the request.
"Could it be that this person really lacks these spells?"
Although the idea seemed a little absurd, Ji Yuan's request could indeed be met.
The City God of Suiyuan County looked at Ji Yuan carefully for a while, and Ji Yuan did not avoid his gaze. His already lifeless eyes were as quiet as an ancient well.
"Okay, we will do our best to fulfill Mr. Ji's request. This county does not have any profound immortal books, but we do have one volume each of the old miscellaneous books "Heterodox Biography" and "Tongming Ce", which we will give to Mr. Ji!"
The Outer Dao Biography? The Clear Strategies
This was obviously the term that made Ji Yuan gradually become excited. Although he didn't know what it was, at least it was not the small fire control technique and small water avoidance technique that he already had.
Every place benefits from it, but also suffers from it. Especially the City God of a place that relies heavily on incense and offerings will seldom step out of his jurisdiction. Even if he has cultivated to a certain level, his strength will decrease a lot if he leaves his jurisdiction. If he is at a low level, his strength will be greatly reduced.
For remote small counties like Ning'an Suiyuan, which are relatively isolated, it is already a pleasant surprise to have such a harvest.
Just when Ji Yuan thought that he needed to follow the City God of Suiyuan County and his entourage back to Suiyuan County, the City God actually took out two thick books from his sleeves, which made Ji Yuan stunned. Why did he carry these with him
"I happen to have the Outer Dao Biography and the Clear and Bright Strategy with me, and I occasionally use them to relieve my boredom. Although they are not expensive, they are rare nowadays. I will give them to Mr. Ji today!"
The City God handed the book to Ji Yuan, and he quickly came back to his senses and took it with both hands. The book felt slightly cool to the touch, and Ji Yuan found that he could actually see the two titles "The Biography of the Outer Dao" and "The Strategy of Tongming" on the blue background outside the book. He suddenly felt that this book should not be an ordinary thing.
"Thank you, Lord City God, for the gift of the book!"
Ask Jiyuan how he feels now
Thinking back to the high school days in my previous life, online novels had just become popular, and there were many pirated and super thick A4-page books, each of which was amazing. Ji Yuan now feels the same as when he was bored and got a new thick novel, excited and happy!
While expressing his gratitude, he couldn't help but begin to flip through the Outer Dao Biography. However, as soon as he opened it, he found that the slightly yellowed paper was completely blank, without a single word on it.
The books I read before, even if they looked blurry, at least had words on them. What’s the situation now? Is it a book without words
After paying close attention, he saw changes on the book. The words gradually became clearer, allowing Ji Yuan to read the contents clearly. He happened to see a line of small words: Among the spirits and monsters in the water, the unpredictable ones are dragons and sea monsters. The evil ones flood hundreds of miles, and the good ones make clouds and rain...
Ji Yuan couldn't help but smile with joy, then suddenly realized that this was not the time to read, so he hurriedly picked up the book and thanked the City God of Suiyuan County again.
"Thank you, Lord City God, for the gift of the book. It is exactly what I need. Thank you again!"
"Well, as long as you like it, I wish you a happy journey. See you someday. Goodbye!"
After saying this, the City God of Suiyuan County bowed. Just as Ji Yuan hurriedly returned the greeting, the City God used his earthly body to mobilize his magical powers and moved away with his subordinate underworld officials.
Ji Yuan was really confused. Although he tried to hide it, he still noticed the subtle changes in the City God's mood. The main reason was that he left a little abruptly. What happened? What happened? Weren't they quite harmonious just now? He didn't even know the name of this City God of Suiyuan County.
The breeze blew gently, ruffling Ji Yuan's sleeves and hair. He scratched his head in confusion.
"Uh... Could it be that the City God actually likes these two books?"
Since I can't figure it out, I'll just give up on it. To be honest, I can't bear to ask him to go back and return the book. At worst, I can just give him something else in return later.
With this thought in mind, Ji Yuan turned to the first page after the cover of the Outer Path Biography.
There are words visible on the first page: The Biography of Heretics is also a book created by nature. Those with profound spiritual insights can read it at a glance, those who understand the mysteries can read it in meditation, those with wisdom and fate can occasionally see the words, but vulgar and ordinary people have no chance to see it.
Ji Yuan’s mouth twitched. It was a misunderstanding. It was really a misunderstanding… I must be that kind of wise person, or there was something wrong with my eyes!
There is really no way to wash away this guilt. I guess the City God of Suiyuan County still thinks he was just playing a trick on someone and left with great magnanimity.
"I'll explain it to you next time. Now... we can't stay here for long!"
He clearly had done nothing wrong, but for some reason he felt guilty. Ji Yuan used his spiritual energy to make the wind come out of his feet, and once again turned into a green shadow and flew out of Suiyuan County and went away into the distance.
When Ji Yuan was escaping, the body of the City God of Suiyuan County reappeared behind a distant mound, frowning and looking thoughtful.
'Who on earth is this Ji Yuan? Is he really ignorant of the Book of Heaven?'
. . .
People feel happy when good things happen. Even though there were some minor misunderstandings in Suiyuan County before, once they left Suiyuan, Jiyuan was more relaxed and only felt happy.
He no longer walked and rested, but ran for dozens of miles in one breath, and only slowed down when he was exhausted. He even deliberately ran to a more remote place, subconsciously wanting to find a quiet place to read a book.
The southern part of Jizhou is mostly hilly, with mounds, slopes, small hills and small cliffs common.
There is a rock and soil slope in the distance, about four or five meters high and more than ten meters long, with gentle slopes on both sides and the highest in the middle. The side facing the edge of the mountain is a large rock wall that is slightly tilted outwards.
Perhaps it is the magic of nature. The rock wall is naturally concave, with a large lentil-shaped hole. It is only a few feet deep, but more than 50 feet long, and slightly lower than the height of an ordinary person.
“Hahaha…what a great place!”
Ji Yuan laughed loudly, sped up again, and rushed forward impatiently.
When we got to the bottom of the rock wall, we looked up and saw that due to the angle of inclination, this place should provide good shelter from the rain.
He walked to the front end of the winding cave wall on the north side, swung his sleeves vigorously, and the strong wind pressure immediately swept away all the dust and gravel on the ground and rocks.
Putting the umbrella aside and using the bag as a pillow underneath, Ji Yuan lay down on the ground casually and took out a copy of "The Biography of the Heretics" which he had been holding in his arms.
I was immediately fascinated by the book. Some of the content in the book overlapped with what I had learned from previous conversations with the City God Song and the bamboo slips he gave me, but most of them were new. Even if I already knew something, the book provided more details or led to some interesting stories.
Ji Yuan had already figured it out. This was not a serious secret method of immortality, but it was interesting, very interesting, the kind that one couldn't put the book down!
The sky changed from light to dark, and from black to white. Unknowingly, a whole day and night had passed. However, Ji Yuan was still full of energy. At the moment of rising sun, he activated the Heaven and Earth Transformation to absorb spiritual energy. However, he still did not take his eyes off the Outer Path.
The text on each page of the book is not large, but the content is very rich. In some places, even a modern writer needs to carefully ponder to understand what the author wanted to express. It seems that the author wrote it very casually. Many places are interesting when read repeatedly from different angles.
Because of his experiences in his previous life, Ji Yuan has an extremely rich imagination. Even if some stories are only a short paragraph, because of their vivid descriptions and some small but magical illustrations that can be displayed when he concentrates, Ji Yuan is willing to spend a long time to fill in a complete story in his mind.
Ji Yuan read so much that he forgot to eat and sleep. When he was really hungry, he just took a few dates from his bag to satisfy his hunger and quench his thirst. When he felt sleepy, he just took a nap. He was actually in good spirits, but his body suffered. After a few days, he was covered in dust and dirt and looked very dirty.
"Boom..."
Thunder sounded in the sky, interrupting Ji Yuan's thoughts as he was immersed in the book. He looked into the distance with something in his mind, and saw that dark clouds had blocked the sun.
I happened to see the saying that dragons and snakes bring rain and help bring good harvests, and I was inspired to blurt out this quote.
"A good rain for Grain in Ear!"
