Because I have become good friends with my sister, Teacher Xiao often finds excuses to go to my house. Of course, now it is no longer a home visit, but a sisterhood relationship with my sister. I can naturally see her purpose, and my sister is not stupid, and it is not easy to be deceived by her. But she is my class teacher after all, and she is indeed knowledgeable, and she has a lot of common topics with my sister.
A few days later, Mr. Xiao came to our house. After chatting with my sister for a while, he took out a few copies of ancient books from his bag.
"Sister Lin, you are an expert in the study of ancient writings. Please help me to see what the contents of a few fragments of my father's collection are." Teacher Xiao pretended to be very casual.
But my sister was stunned after only one glance. She raised her head and looked at me, "Jingyang, come and have a look. Is the ancient book that your teacher Xiao brought with you similar to the ancient book in the ruins?"
I walked over to see, where is the similarity, it is clearly. And I can be sure that this is the copy of the training books that were lost in the last ruins. It's kind of like a scrapbook. But how can it escape my eyes.
"It seems so. I remember that the text in the ruins is also so squiggly. By the way, sister, don't you have copies of the ancient books in the ruins? Check it out and you can tell it apart?" I Naturally, you have to act as if you don't understand the content at all.
My sister hurried into the room, took out a stack of documents, and compared it, "It's true. Look, although I don't know what this word means, it should be exactly the same as this word. Bai Fan, your family's How did you get this fragment? The items in this ruin have never been found anywhere else. I didn’t expect you to have them in your home.”
"Ah, is it? I don't know either. It was collected by my dad. I don't know how he got it. It's not a cultural relic, right? Should I go back and have my dad turn it over to the Cultural Relics Bureau?" Teacher Xiao pretended It's really like, if my sister and I didn't know her details long ago, I'm afraid we would have been deceived by her appearance.
"There's no need for that. Now many people have collections of ancient books in their homes. Who can determine whether they are cultural relics? We can't take all ancient things into the state." My sister said casually. Our sister and brother's acting skills are incomparable to Teacher Xiao.
Teacher Xiao should have known at that time that we had seen through her identity, or that she had become suspicious of our sister and brother.
"Sister Lin, are you really unable to read the text on it?" Teacher Xiao asked tentatively.
"I really don't understand. To tell you the truth, I have been studying these words for a long time. It seems that it has no connection with our civilization. In this way, it is equivalent to that we have no historical background. Studying a completely unfamiliar civilization is completely different from our study of ancient characters. Our study of ancient characters, such as oracle bone inscriptions, all have a certain historical background, and our modern characters and cultural heritage are also related to ancient characters. This is The basis for our ability to study ancient scripts. But even in this case, the meaning of some ancient scripts has not been deciphered by us. Now, this civilization seems to have no connection with our civilization, and it is too much to try to decipher their scripts. It's hard." My sister shook her head with a wry smile.
Sister Xiao's excuse is really beyond doubt.
"Ah? So that's the case. No wonder my dad asked a lot of people with these scraps, but no one could recognize them. It seems really complicated." Teacher Xiao took the scraps. The copy of ' is put back into the package. It can also be seen that Teacher Xiao attaches great importance to these pieces of paper.
"Bai Fan. I'm sorry. I didn't help you." My sister said apologetically.
"It's okay, Sister Lin, it's not that you didn't help." Teacher Xiao said with a smile. After that, I chatted with my sister about some unimportant things.
Although, I couldn't find anything from my sister. After a while, Teacher Xiao still often came to my house. The relationship with her sister also seems to have not changed at all. On the contrary, there is a feeling that the friendship between gentlemen is as fresh as water. Without purpose, the relationship seems to have become more indifferent.
But I think this may be Teacher Xiao's most advanced performance mode. I never let go of my guard against Teacher Xiao.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao opened the bright window to us at home and spoke brightly.
"Sister Lin, Huang Jingyang, we've known each other for so long. I know you've always been on guard against me. In fact, we all know that we are different from ordinary people, and Li Wan and Liu Wei, we are all like-minded people. There is absolutely no need for you to be so wary of me. I know that you can understand the scraps I brought that day. But you should have some kind of apprehension about me. So, be wary of me all the time. It is understandable. But there is no need for it. The cultivators in modern society are different from those in ancient times. It is impossible for me to do anything out of the ordinary for the sake of cultivating the Tao. Besides, Sister Lin, your cultivation is higher than mine. You don't need to worry at all."
"Actually, you don't need to break it. You didn't break it. Maybe we can continue to be friends. But, you made it clear today, maybe we won't even be friends in the future." Sister smiled bitterly.
"Why can't we be friends? Is it because I know your identities? Don't you also know my identity? I'm not a bad person." Teacher Xiao showed a somewhat incomprehensible look.
I just sat silently at first, and when I heard this, I finally spoke up. "Then can you tell me why the ancient books in the ruins ran into your hands? You know, people died in that ruins."
"It turned out to be because of this. Have you been suspecting that we stole those books from the ruins? Actually, this is the case. There was a man named Li Shengming in the ruins who cut off a hand for flipping the books with his sword qi on his back. , at that time one of my senior brother Kang Qinghao, who was a criminal police officer in the ruins, rushed to the scene immediately. As a result, when he arrived there, he found that the classics had been stolen. This case was quickly solved by senior brother Kang. Because at that time, it was very important. , Several people from our division rushed to the scene. They assisted Senior Brother Kang in attacking those who stole the books. All the books that were stolen were also recovered. By the way, you and Sister Lin have also been there. Do you still remember Li Shengming who broke his hand, and Lv Zhiqing, the leader of the archaeological team?" Teacher Xiao looked up at me and asked.
"Remember, Li Shengming is against me everywhere, and he deserves to break a hand. Don't tell me that the two of them stole the books." Naturally, I wouldn't believe it, because these two people were just ordinary people.
"How could they possibly move those books? They are just two ordinary people." Teacher Xiao shook his head.
"Oh?" I was very confused. Originally thought that Teacher Xiao was going to blame them for stealing the classics.
"But it really has something to do with the two of them. They are the inner ghosts in the archaeological team. They originally wanted to steal those books by themselves. But they didn't expect that there were formations on those books. As a result, stealing chickens can't lose rice. Li Shengming The classics were not stolen, and a hand was lost in vain. But Li Shengming and Lu Zhiqing were not reconciled. So they notified a powerful character. This person is the head of the Tianyin Sect, named Cui Shenlin. He cracked those formations, Take away the classics. Brother Kang quickly solved the case. He followed the vines and found Cui Shenlin. However, Cui Shenlin was also very cunning. Under the siege of several brothers, Jin Chan escaped and escaped. Fortunately, those stolen classics We were chased back."
A person mentioned by Teacher Xiao. Surprised me. "Cui Shenlin?"
"What? You know this person too?" Teacher Xiao was also a little surprised.
"It's more than just knowing." I began to believe Mr. Xiao's words.
Sister frowned, "Could it be that Cui Chenlin also followed us to the ruins?"
"What? Did you also have a holiday with the Tianyin Sect?" Teacher Xiao's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. He should think that since they are the enemy of the enemy, then the two sides have a common point of interest.
"It's true that there are festivals. But what does it have to do with you?" I wouldn't relax my guard against Teacher Xiao just because of the Tianyin Sect. Teacher Xiao said that she has many brothers and sisters. So, from this point of view, Teacher Xiao is not a simple sect. But why have I never heard of such a big sect. Yang Zhenghai once mentioned to me some things about the cultivating world, but he had never heard of such a large sect.
Teacher Xiao was stunned. She did not expect that I would still be so wary of her. "Huang Jingyang, if I have any intentions against you, can I still endure it until now? Wouldn't it be easier to control you directly?"
"Control it? Why don't you try it?" My face turned cold, and I released my aura unreservedly.
"Ah!" Teacher Xiao exclaimed and took a few steps back with a horrified look on his face.
"You dare say you want to control us?" I smiled contemptuously.
"Huang Jingyang, you are really not simple. I have been unable to see your cultivation base, I thought you had some secret method to hide your cultivation base. I didn't expect your cultivation base to be so high. Even so, you still have to understand , There is heaven outside the sky. There are people outside people. Do you think that there is no one in this world with a higher cultivation level than you?" Teacher Xiao said calmly.
"If I attack you, will you be able to hold on until your help arrives? If I hide, even if your help arrives, what can I do with me? I believe that you and your senior brothers should not be able to bear me. Let's get revenge? Teacher Xiao. Let's open the window and say something bright." I sneered and said threateningly.
"Huang Jingyang, don't get me wrong. I don't have any ill will towards you. I'm actually not from any sect, and now, there is no such a big sect. I'm actually a member of the Dao League. The current Dao League should be considered semi-official. Association. The people who join the Dao League are all young monks from various sects. Of course, the council of the Dao League is all top experts from various sects. Although there are not many people who are higher than you, they are definitely Yes. Do you want to be the enemy of the cultivators all over the world?" Teacher Xiao stared at me without blinking.
"Humph! If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If they offend me, I will destroy them!" I also looked at Teacher Xiao coldly.
Seeing that the two of us were deadlocked, my sister said quickly, "Jingyang, let's listen to what Teacher Xiao has to say first."
As soon as I lost my momentum, Teacher Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and the pretty face was already covered with beads of sweat.
"Huang Jingyang, in fact, I didn't have any hostility towards you at all. That's right, I want to test whether you can decipher those books by getting closer to you. However, I don't have any hostility at all. The cultivators of the past are completely different. After all, everyone can’t just cultivate the Dao, but also have a life. After all, no one can live forever through cultivation. The Yin God masters of our Dao League are only two or three hundred years of life. No matter how long it is, I have never heard of it. Even those masters of the yin and gods, I have never heard of it. I heard from the ancestors that modern people have no way to become immortals. Because the passage to the fairyland was as long as a thousand years ago. It's closed."
Some of what Teacher Xiao said surprised me, "Immortal world?"
"Yes. It is said that the vitality of the immortal world is extremely pure and rich, and cultivation there is much faster than our cultivation on Earth." Teacher Xiao continued.
When I heard it, I felt that this place seemed to be talking about a dream. Looking back at my sister, she seems to be similar to me.
"Don't go too far. What's going on with Daomeng?" I interrupted Teacher Xiao.
"The Dao League is actually a more official association. It is mainly used to restrain us cultivators. After all, cultivators are still more dangerous than ordinary people. The official will not allow such a group of such dangerous people to be unaffected. Control. Therefore, all sects and sects are invited together to establish such a cultivator association to restrain cultivators. Sometimes, some official tasks will be released. Of course, so far, the number of cultivators registered in the Dao League Not many. After all, the cultivators are very secretive, and it is not so easy to count the cultivators completely." Teacher Xiao explained the situation of the Dao League. After all, the Dao League is composed of some sects of cultivators.
"In my hometown, there was a case of a ghost king who escaped from the ghost world and came out to hurt people. Why didn't I see your Dao League send someone to take care of it?" I suddenly remembered something. The last incident at Bajiao Mountain should be regarded as a major event. At that time, the official should have released the task in the Dao League.
"Where is your hometown?" Teacher Xiao asked.
"Qiushan County, Southwest Province," I replied.
"This is really a mission. But the characters who can deal with the ghost king are at least monks in the Yin God stage. There are not many Dao Leagues in total. These old guys don't like doing thankless things. In fact, everyone joined the Taoist League. , I just want to get a convenient status in the world, not to contribute to the country. Who would want to go to such a dangerous thing? Even if there is someone willing to go, they can't deal with the ghost king. Later, I heard that the ghost king was driven out by the cultivators I'm going back. This matter is over like this." Teacher Xiao said.
"Ah?" I didn't expect the Dao League to be such an organization. (.)
