Chapter 299: Being alone in a room

Views:

The weather follows people's wishes. It comes with a favorable wind and goes with a favorable wind. Not only does the favorable wind fly fast, it is not as cold as the headwind.

Even though it was not as cold as the headwind, flying in winter was still very freezing. Yuan Anning lost too much blood and looked pale. It might be that it was his first time riding a bird and he was a little dizzy. His eyes were closed tightly and he was wrapped tightly in a blanket. not talking.

For fear of the wind direction changing, we didn't stop on the way. It was northwest wind when we arrived, and south wind when we returned. It took longer than when we arrived. It took a total of three hours and we reached the peak where the stone chamber is located in the late afternoon.

Yuan Anning was a little dizzy and staggered when he got off Master Ba's back. Nanfeng hurriedly reached out to help him, "Are you okay?"

Yuan Anning shook his head, "Where is this?"

"It used to be called Sun Mountain, but I don't know what it's called now." Nanfeng said casually.

Yuan Anning looked at the surrounding scenery, "What are you doing here? What is behind this stone gate?"

"Have you ever heard of the Book of Heaven?" Nan Feng pressed the gate button.

The stone door opened slowly, and Master Ba squeezed in without waiting for the stone door to open completely. Don't think that birds and beasts with feathers and fur are not afraid of the cold. After flying for three hours, it was frozen.

"Book of Heaven?" Yuan Anning looked sideways at Nanfeng.

Although Yuan Anning asked rhetorically, judging from her expression, she should know about the Heavenly Book. Although the Heavenly Book is not found in the world, there are legends about the Heavenly Book in the world. Anyone in the world knows about the Heavenly Book, or at least has heard of this kind of thing.

"The Book of Heaven is inside." Nanfeng tried to help Yuan Anning enter the stone chamber.

Yuan Anning did not go in immediately, but pointed to the collapse of the mountain on the south side, "What's going on?"

"I'm not sure. Let's go in first. The door will close soon." Nanfeng helped Yuan Anning into the stone room.

As soon as you enter, the stone door will automatically close. It is bright outside and the stone room is dark. Even if you have spiritual energy cultivation, it will take time to adapt to the darkness.

When he could see things around him clearly, Nanfeng helped Yuan Anning to the corner and spread a blanket on her, "Come on, let's take a rest first."

Yuan Anning sat down and looked up at Nanfeng. It was obvious that she was waiting for him to explain the reason. Now that the two of them had arrived at the end of the field, she had to know something, otherwise she wouldn't even know what she was doing here.

Nan Feng was very concerned about Yuan An Ning for two reasons. First, Yuan An Ning was injured and needed to be taken care of. Secondly, Yuan Anning is an outsider, here to help, and cannot be as practical as instructing Zhuge Chanjuan.

Being polite sometimes does not necessarily mean being polite, it may also mean being biased. He has complete trust in Zhuge Chanjuan and Nanfeng, but he only has 70% trust in Yuan Anning. This 70% trust comes from the recognition of Yuan Anning's character. Yuan Anning is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and a person who knows how to repay his kindness cannot do any bad things. As for the 30% distrust, it came from his lack of understanding of Yuan Anning. The two had only met each other a few times and had no in-depth communication.

How much trust you have means telling the truth. However, Nan Feng was not in a hurry to tell the truth. Instead, he sat next to Yuan An Ning and asked, "How much do you know about the Book of Heaven?"

Yuan Anning shook his head, "My understanding of the Heavenly Book is limited to rumors in the world. I only know that the Heavenly Book is the originator of the current Taoism and martial arts. By studying the Heavenly Book in detail, one can understand mysterious martial arts and spells, and even achieve Taoism and ascend."

Nanfeng nodded, "What else?"

Yuan Anning added, "The Heavenly Book seems to be divided into several volumes and scattered in various places. Even if it is found, it is not complete."

Nanfeng nodded again. When Long Yunzi held the Yuqing Dharma Conference in Chang'an, his banner was to invite heroes from all walks of life to read the fragments of the Book of Heaven. Yuan Anning lived in Chang'an, so he had naturally heard of this.

Yuan Anning finished speaking and looked directly at Nanfeng, waiting for him to answer.

Nanfeng thought for a while and said, "The Book of Heaven is all-encompassing and contains mysteries. It is the origin of cultivation and the general outline of all laws. The Book of Heaven has nine volumes in total. The last time it appeared was in the Zhou Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. At that time, three religions sent out three Famous Taoists each hold a volume and live in seclusion to study it, and most of the spells used by the three sects today were derived from their research. This is where one of the Taoists lives in seclusion, and the book he holds should be inside."

At this point, Nanfeng stopped and waited for Yuan Anning to ask. The reason why he didn't mention the tortoise shell and only talked about the Heavenly Book was because he didn't fully trust Yuan Anning. Trust actually has levels. His trust in Yuan Anning was relative trust. , completely trusting a person without any reason is not candid, that is stupid.

Yuan Anning did not ask questions immediately, and Nanfeng did not continue to talk. There must be many things Yuan Anning wanted to know. At this time, he should consider what should be asked and what should not be asked.

After pondering, Yuan Anning asked, "Are you sure this is the place where one of the nine Taoists lived in seclusion?"

Nanfeng nodded, "It's 90% possible."

Yuan Anning asked again, "Are you sure that the Heavenly Book he held back then is still deep in the cave?"

Nanfeng nodded again, "For some unknown reason, those nine volumes of heavenly books were left in seclusion by those Taoists. They were not damaged when they were alive, and they were not taken away when they ascended on a crane."

"Why didn't Miss Zhuge and Master Ji go with you?" Yuan Anning asked again.

Nanfeng replied, "The clues of the Heavenly Book were leaked not long ago, and people from all over the world, including the three sects, swarmed in. Now the nine volumes of the Heavenly Book have been divided up by everyone. Our cultivation is too weak to compete with others. Grab it, since they couldn't grab it, they went back first. I was unwilling to give in, so I walked around again, and I didn't expect that I really picked up some wisdom."

Yuan Anning smiled and said, "You are not picking up people's teeth. They are clearly picking up your teeth."

"Huh?" Nanfeng tilted his head and looked at Yuan Anning.

Yuan Anning said calmly, "When you gave me Gongshu Yaoshu that day, you once said that you would need my help one day. It can be seen that by then you already knew where the Heavenly Book was hidden, and even guessed that you needed to crack the mechanism. Just because The time has come and I have no ability to take it away. If I guessed correctly, most of the Heavenly Book has been taken away by you."

Nanfeng was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Yuan Anning to be so careful. Since she had already guessed the truth, it would be unethical to lie and deceive. However, the matter was of great importance and she couldn't admit it in person, so she could only say haha. "Haha, I think so."

"Am I right?" Yuan Anning asked.

"Are you also interested in the Book of Heaven?" Nanfeng asked back.

"I am the enemy of my country and my family, and I need help." Yuan Anning was honest.

"It seems that you still owe me a favor." Nanfeng said with a smile. It is the nature of a young man to be naughty and playful, but when it comes to important matters, you cannot be vague. You must not give the tortoise shell to anyone, even if the other person is a beautiful woman.

"If you ask this, I will answer this. I don't want to lie to you." Yuan Anning slowly shook his head.

When Yuan Anning said this, Nanfeng felt embarrassed, "Haha, although I am a beggar, I am very generous. Let's do this. I will give you a roll when the matter is completed."

"Nanfeng, thank you." Yuan Anning thanked her solemnly.

"You're welcome." Nanfeng waved his hand. For the same thing, you will have different feelings from different standpoints. If you only stand from your own perspective, you will feel that Yuan Anning is greedy, but when you change your position, you will feel greedy. , Yuan Anning's performance is completely reasonable. As Yuan Anning said herself, she urgently needs help, and the Book of Heaven can indeed give her great help. In fact, the two of them are in the same situation, and they both need strong help. To do something very difficult.

"I can't thank you enough for your kindness." Yuan Anning said seriously.

"You're really welcome. I like to hear the truth. If you don't lie to me, you deserve a reward." Nanfeng said with a smile. As the saying goes, you are not afraid of true villains, you are afraid of hypocrites. Telling the truth and asking for things is better than wanting to pay back. Heng Heng Hao is much more candid than coy.

"You haven't told me yet, is my previous guess correct?" Yuan Anning asked.

"What's your guess?" Nanfeng took out the water bag from his bag. The water bag was so frozen that he couldn't drink it.

"Have you got most of the Heavenly Book?" Yuan Anning asked. After saying this, he hurriedly explained, "I have no other ideas, I'm just curious."

The Book of Heaven is a legendary divine object. It is reasonable for Yuan Anning to be curious. If she is not curious, she is just pretending. However, Nanfeng is not prepared to tell the truth to her, so he can only pretend to be a follower, "I am not interested in it." You’re still curious, just let me touch a few and I’ll tell you.”

"Okay." Yuan Anning was very calm.

"Haha, I won't be fooled by you. I won't touch it, and I won't tell you either." Nanfeng laughed.

"I also believe that you will not go beyond etiquette, so I dare to accept you." Yuan Anning smiled.

"Go, go, don't wear such a high hat on me." Nanfeng was a little embarrassed. He was not a gentleman. He took the opportunity to touch one last night and took a few glances. However, it was just curiosity, and he felt that it was more fun. .

Nanfeng didn't say anything, and Yuan Anning didn't ask any more questions. She was injured, so she moved her body slightly and leaned against the stone wall behind.

Nanfeng knocked on the water bag and heard the sound of it freezing. "The water is frozen. I'll go out and get some snow and come back."

Yuan Anning nodded.

Nan Feng leaned over and put down the water bag, stood up and activated the mechanism. When Ba Ye saw him opening the door, he looked up at him. Nan Feng didn't react at all. Ba Ye was not sure if he was leaving, so he followed him out.

There was snow outside. Nanfeng wiped his hands with the snow first, then took two snowballs and opened the door.

"I feel sorry for you. You are injured. You should drink some hot water." Nanfeng handed over a snowball.

"I'm not that delicate." Yuan Anning took the snowball and passed it over.

Nan Feng ate the snowball and did not talk to Yuan An Ning again. He had deliberately taken Ba Ye out earlier to give Yuan An Ning some time to see if she would secretly look through his baggage. In fact, he had bent his body before. When he put down the water bag, he had memorized the details of the folds of the baggage. When he came back, he found that Yuan Anning had not touched his baggage.

As the saying goes, you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. He has already remembered Tian Yuanzi's teachings deeply in his heart. The first two of the three teachings are the most truthful words. If you follow them in any situation, you will benefit a lot. It is impossible to only focus on the last one. One thing is wrong. You must look at women soberly and never be driven by instinct to deceive yourself.

While eating the snowball, Nan Feng took two pancakes and put them in his arms. When they were thawed, he handed one to Yuan An Ning. Although he tested Yuan An Ning, it did not affect his careful care and he never regretted his promise to Yuan An Ning. Tranquility is a heavenly book, and happiness comes from sharing, but the premise of sharing is that the person has good intentions towards you. If you have ulterior motives, let alone the heavenly book, you will not give a single copper coin.

Yuan Anning didn't have much appetite. After eating a little, he put away the pancake and asked, "Where is the Luoshu River Picture?"

"On that stone table." Nanfeng nuzzled at the stone table.

"Let's take a look..."
