Luo Jing's expression was somewhat speechless.
Looking at the old horse twitching and gradually moving still on the official road, he found that he seemed to have done something stupid.
He had never raised a horse before and didn't know how to feed one.
Anyway, when the old horse is hungry, it will stop and eat the grass on the roadside, and when it is thirsty, it will go to the river to drink water.
As for resting... When the horse stopped to eat grass and drink water, Luo Jing did not urge it.
Lao Ma waited until the other party had finished eating and drinking before continuing on his way, thinking that the other party had already rested.
Unexpectedly, the old horse died of exhaustion.
At this moment, he realized that he was a cultivator and did not need to rest, but this horse did not.
He almost took it for granted that he didn't need to eat or rest for long periods of time, forgetting that ordinary animals didn't have his vigorous energy.
Looking at the skinny horse's corpse on the official road, Luo Jing covered his forehead speechlessly, realizing his own stupidity.
And that luxurious carriage happened to pass by Luo Jing at this moment.
Luo Jing was no longer wary of this carriage and confirmed that the other party was indeed just a passerby.
Although it was a bit strange to meet each other again, they were not of the same kind, so Luo Jing had no intention of provoking the other party.
But at this moment, the carriage stopped beside Luo Jing.
Then the window curtain was lifted, and a frail young man with a slightly pale face smiled and said.
"Friend, do you need help?"
The other party actually took the initiative to talk...
Luo Jing looked at the nobleman in the carriage in surprise. He didn't expect that such a big shot would take the initiative to talk to him.
But Luo Jing's motto in life is to stay away from trouble.
And big people often represent trouble.
After all, the higher the level, the more terrifying things you provoke.
So Luo Jing politely declined the other party's kindness.
The nobleman didn't care. It seemed like he was just asking casually. After Luo Jing refused, the carriage continued on its way.
Luo Jing was left alone on the official road, looking worriedly at the corpse of an old horse.
Only after they walked away did Manager Ning ask curiously.
"Second Young Master, do you recognize this man's origin?"
Why would the Second Young Master want to talk to someone of unknown origin for no reason
Lu Yu smiled and shook his head, saying: "I didn't recognize him, but my intuition tells me that we may meet again in the future."
For some reason, when he saw the dusty young merchant, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart and couldn't help but want to help.
Staying away from trouble is Lu Yu's life motto, and he never takes the initiative to cause trouble.
Manager Ning was curious, but Lu Yu actually didn't know why he wanted to speak.
But he didn't explain, so Manager Ning naturally didn't ask any more questions. The carriage continued to move silently on the official road and headed towards Haiyan City.
Luo Jing, who was left on the official road, watched the carriage go away, sighed, dragged the old horse's body to the side of the road, dug a hole and buried the body in it.
I can only walk on foot tonight.
The next day, after arriving at a county town called Zhining, Luo Jing bought another horse.
This horse was much younger and stronger, making Luo Jing's pace much faster.
On the eighth day of the eleventh lunar month, riding on a half-dead horse, Luo Jing finally saw the gate of Haiyan City.
He was feeling slightly excited.
It’s finally here…
Haiyan City, Heavenly Book Pavilion.
Of course, the most important thing is... Qingxuan!
Since they met on the night of September 17, Luo Jing no longer felt Qingxuan's call.
The couple did not see each other again throughout October.
It's already the eighth day of the eleventh month, and I still haven't been able to meet Qingxuan.
Such a separation made Luo Jing feel a little uncomfortable and tormented.
He didn't feel it when they could see each other every night, but now that the contact has been cut off and they can no longer meet in their dreams, Luo Jing realized how unbearable the feeling of loneliness is.
He also confirmed one thing.
It turns out that it wasn't that he wanted to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband in his previous life, but that he couldn't leave Qingxuan...
It's so painful after just a few days of separation. What if I can't renew my past relationship with Qingxuan... Luo Jing doesn't even dare to think about it.
When did I start to care so much about Qingxuan
Obviously there shouldn't be much affection between the two of them...
Luo Jing, who had never been in love, couldn't understand.
Could this be the legendary love
Fortunately, he has already made an agreement with Qingxuan. It won’t be long before Qingxuan comes to Haiyan City to meet him, right
For some psychological reason, Luo Jing even took a detour before entering the city.
Coming from the northwest, he originally saw the north gate of Haiyan City. But Luo Jing went around to the east gate and entered Haiyan City from the east gate.
Of course, Luo Jing did not see Qingxuan at the east gate of Haiyan City.
According to their original plan, Luo Jing should arrive in Haiyan City at the end of November, and Qingxuan would then come down the mountain to Haiyan City to meet Luo Jing.
It is only the eighth day of the eleventh month, and I will probably have to wait for a while before I can meet Qingxuan.
Luo Jing rode into the city on a horse and went straight to the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
There was no need to ask for directions, because the tall building of the Book Pavilion was the most conspicuous place in the city.
The Heavenly Book Pavilion, which is a hundred feet high, stands above the earth like a skyscraper and can be seen clearly even from far away outside the city.
The city wall of Haiyan City is ten feet high, which is already majestic.
But compared to the Heavenly Book Pavilion in the city, it is extremely small.
Luo Jing soon arrived at the legendary Heavenly Book Pavilion and saw the huge building that was said to house all the books in the world.
It was like a tower reaching straight into the sky. The straight tower a hundred feet high was quite rare even in the city full of tall buildings in Luo Jing's previous life.
Not to mention this world where buildings are generally only two or three stories high.
Standing on the huge square below the Heavenly Book Pavilion and looking up at the huge tower in front, I couldn't help feeling insignificant.
"A letter of recommendation from Monk Canglan?"
The scholar from the Heavenly Book Pavilion who received Luo Jing was quite surprised.
After he took the letter of recommendation, he did not open it, but took Luo Jing directly into the gate of the Heavenly Book Pavilion.
Soon, the authenticity of the recommendation letter was confirmed, and Luo Jing got a job as a handyman in the Heavenly Book Pavilion after receiving the scholar's concerned inquiries.
He was responsible for cleaning the area from the thirteenth to the nineteenth floors, with a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, which was considered a very prestigious job.
As for Jiang Muyun mentioned by Ji Canghu, Luo Jing did not see him. He said that he had left the city for important matters.
Of course, even if the other party is in the Heavenly Book Pavilion, it is still questionable whether Luo Jing is qualified to meet him.
After all, this kind of big shot is not from the same world as Luo Jing.
Luo Jing came to the Heavenly Book Pavilion not to seek refuge.
After confirming that he could read most of the books in the Heavenly Book Pavilion on his own, Luo Jing was satisfied.
In fact, the books in the Tianshu Pavilion are basically open to everyone, and anyone is qualified to come to the Tianshu Pavilion to read books.
Of course, you can only look at it and cannot take it away.
If there really is someone who is gifted and can embark on the path of cultivation just by reading books, he will surely be recruited and trained by the court.
