"Are books so precious in this day and age?"
After walking around Ji's Xifu City, Qi Heng found that there were very few places selling books in the entire city, and they were very expensive.
"We have to find some books."
The shops selling books in Xifu City completely treat books as luxury goods, with exquisite packaging, gorgeous appearance, and... high prices.
It's rare and expensive, which really doesn't meet Qi Heng's requirements.
"The Ji family is a big family, and they must have a lot of books! I'm afraid we have no choice but to take advantage of them."
The reason why I need books is embarrassing to say.
Because... Qi Heng is illiterate!
Whether it is the "Hunyuan Supreme" or the "Earth Black Stone Boxer", the memories of these two lives do not recognize the words of the current era.
Even the exercises given to Heishang Gang before were still images of spiritual thoughts, not words.
It’s unreasonable that such a dignified person is illiterate.
"With the power of my soul now, I can see ten lines at a glance and have a photographic memory. It's all simple. So, if I find Ji, I think Ji Lie will help me with this."
When he was in Dongyun Mountain, Qi Heng let Ji Lie and the Black Armored Army go. Now that he made such a small request, Ji Lie would definitely agree.
Thinking of this, Qi Heng turned around and walked towards the Ji family compound.
It is said that it is the Ji Family Courtyard, but it is actually equivalent to an inner city with a very vast area.
"Stop whoever comes!"
Qi Heng walked to the gate of Ji's inner city, where a group of black-armored soldiers guarded the gate. Seeing Qi Heng coming, he quickly stopped.
"This young master, I don't know what the purpose of coming here is."
I saw Qi Heng dressed in an exquisite black gold robe, with big flowing sleeves, and an extraordinary bearing. He did not look like someone from an ordinary tribe. The sergeant guarding the door did not dare to neglect and asked quickly.
"Tell Ji Lie that an old friend from Dongyun Mountain is visiting!"
Qi Heng flicked his robe sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back, looking aloof. With this gesture, the sergeant no longer dared to neglect.
"Please wait a moment, young master. I will immediately inform the second master to come and greet you."
A sergeant who seemed to be the leader bowed and saluted, turned around and ran into the gate to report to Ji Lie.
"An old friend of Dongyun Mountain?"
Hearing the report, Ji Lie was shocked and thought of the terrifying young man who blew up Temuzan with a wave of his hand and wiped out three thousand troops with one blow.
"Is it him? What does he want to do when he comes to our Ji Mansion?"
There were some doubts in his heart, but Ji Lie still remembered Qi Heng's words, "I also have some connections with your Ji family."
"Since we have a connection, we can't neglect it."
His strength is terrifying and he has a great connection, so he really can’t be offended. Ji Lie quickly got up and hurried to the gate.
"It's indeed him."
Seeing Qi Heng standing outside the door with his hands behind his back, Ji Lie felt as if he was seeing a towering mountain, with a faint momentum that was so majestic that it made people feel heart-stopping.
"It turns out it's your Excellency who has arrived. Ji Lie missed the greeting from afar. I hope you'll forgive me!"
Feeling Qi Heng's aura, Ji Lie became more cautious and bowed to Qi Heng and saluted, "Your Excellency, please come inside."
Welcoming Qi Heng into the inner city of the Ji family, Ji Lie asked Qi Heng, "Your Excellency, you are here this time. Is there anything you can do for me?"
"I'm a newbie here, so I'm not very familiar with the situation here. I heard that Ji's collection of books is numerous, so I came here to borrow a book or two."
Qi Heng turned to glance at Ji Lie and smiled, "By the way, I don't know much about the writing here. It would be better if someone who is literate can give me some pointers."
"Well… "
When Ji Lie heard this, he was speechless. You can't read, so why are you reading
However, he could only mutter these words in his mind and did not dare to say them in person.
"It's just a trivial matter, I'll do it for you."
In Ji Lie's view, Qi Heng had an air of dignity and extraordinary conversation, and was definitely not a bumpkin from an ordinary small tribe. Of extraordinary origin, but illiterate... unless they come from overseas.
The Great Xia Dynasty dominated the world and was popular all over the world. However, in the overseas islands, there are still some places where the Bactrian script is not widely used.
Ji Lie had some guesses about Qi Heng's origins, and Ji Lie had doubts again. Since you are from overseas, why are you related to my Ji family
Unable to understand and unable to ask directly, Ji Lie could only take Qi Heng to the library and arranged several literate maids to serve Qi Heng in his studies.
"Hongxiu Tianxiang studies at night. Ji Lie has arranged it well."
The four maids served the guests very attentively, adding tea and water, lighting lamps and cutting candles. Qi Heng was very satisfied with this.
It would be too depressing if an old man came to teach him how to read.
Read and read, understand the meaning of each word, and with Qi Heng's soul cultivation, he solved the problem of "literacy" in two hours.
"Thank you for your help!"
The literacy problem was solved, Qi Heng ignored the resentment in the eyes of several maids and waved them away.
I picked up various books in Ji's library, let go of my mind, and read ten lines at a time. I spent one night reading all Ji's books.
"Daxia Dynasty, Antan County, Wanjian City, Ji Clan's West Mansion? Well, I definitely don't know about this place."
In ancient times, the Origin Continent was shattered and turned into an endless world in the Hongmeng void. This Great Xia Dynasty must be one of the endless worlds.
"Sorry for disturbing you this time."
Early the next morning, Qi Heng said goodbye to Ji Lie.
"No, no! It's a trivial matter, sir, you're so polite."
This terrifying figure of unknown origin was leaving, and Ji Lie breathed a sigh of relief. Such a character is not easy to deal with. It would be best to just read the book and get rid of it.
After saying goodbye and leaving, Qi Heng quickly walked out of Ji's inner city.
"Huh?"
After walking out of Ji's inner city and rushing back to the "Black Mountain Workshop" along the street, a cloud of mist suddenly floated through the air.
Looking up at the clouds, Qi Heng frowned, "A great demon in the Xiantian realm? Has it come to Ji's Xifu City? Apparently, the target is Ji's?"
A great demon with perfect innate nature wants to attack the Ji family's Western Mansion? There are quite a few people in the Xiantian realm in Ji's West Mansion. Is this a sign of death if you knock on your door like this
"Roar… "
On a stone mountain in the inner city of Ji Mansion, in a black iron castle, the roar of a monster on its deathbed suddenly rang out.
"Huh? This voice... that red snake?"
Hearing this roar, Qi Heng discovered that the sound was exactly the same as that of the big red snake that was slapped away by him.
"Roar… "
In the passing cloud, a crazy and furious roar sounded.
"Boom" a loud noise.
A giant black snake that was more than a hundred feet long swooped down from the clouds, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air, followed by waves of roars.
This giant snake has a pair of huge wings, its whole body is covered with pitch-black scales, and there is a row of huge bone spurs on its back. It is ferocious, terrifying and ferocious.
"Child! My child! Humanity, pay for my son's life!"
The giant snake roared wildly, and then swooped down sharply. A huge snake tail struck hard at the black castle on the stone mountain.
"Boom!"
Debris was scattered and dust was flying.
The black stone castle was suddenly collapsed.
"Ah! Ning'er!"
"You evil beast, you are seeking death!"
At this moment, angry roars rang out from Ji's inner city.
