In the Wenyuan Pavilion of Tiandao Academy, a girl with long fluttering hair and only as tall as a book was lying on a thick book, with her legs crossed and her chin supported, looking at Su Yun curiously.
Su Yun devoted himself to reading. He was reading "On the Miscellaneous Uses of the Soul", which was written by none other than Saint Xue of Xue Qingfu.
Before Xue Qingfu was demoted back to Shuofang, he was the Taichang and Imperial Tutor of the Tiandao Academy, a nobleman in front of the emperor, so naturally he was extremely knowledgeable.
This was the first book Su Yun read today, and he read it very carefully. Xue Qingfu did not talk about various magical powers in "The Theory of the Miscellaneous Uses of the Soul", but explained the various uses and purposes of magical powers from all aspects, as well as the methods and techniques of use.
Su Yun watched the sandalwood incense curling up for a while, then smiled and said, "Yingying, can you play a song for me?"
The girl responded cheerfully, took out a small guqin from somewhere, placed it across her knees, and played it with her head tilted.
Su Yun could hear the sound of piano, and his mind became more active than usual. He read attentively, trying to memorize and understand the contents of the book.
After a long time, he finished reading "Yun Ling Za Yong Lun" and took out another book, which was "Tian Ren Jiao Lun" written by Qu Taichang Qu Jinshu.
"Qu Taichang is Qu Bo from Tianmen Town."
Su Yun thought of Qu Bo who always climbed up to Tianmen to carve, and said silently in his heart: "Qu Bo became the emperor's teacher and the Minister of Rites after Xue Shengren was deposed, and then was sent to Tianshiyuan to study the Tianmen Ghost Market. The emperor who sent him to Tianmen Town was the Emperor of Dongdu, an old man who dreamed of immortality..."
"On the Correspondence between Heaven and Man" talks about Qu Taichang's discovery that the primordial energy of heaven and earth has substance and form, and can be divided into various sacred things. Su Yun also made discoveries like Yinglong primordial energy, Kaiming primordial energy, and so on.
Qu Taichang's explanation was more in-depth, which was very inspiring and eye-opening for him. He even felt that the Honglu Transmutation created by Qiu Shuijing was a practice based on the "Theory of Induction between Heaven and Man"!
"No wonder Mr. Shuijing said that if I read a hundred books on each floor of Wenyuan Pavilion, I would be able to solve my problem."
Qiu Shuijing was the imperial tutor and Minister of Rites after Qu Bo, but his works were not kept in Wenyuan Pavilion.
After Su Yun finished reading the two volumes of the book, he closed his eyes to consolidate what he had learned, then stood up and walked around in the Wenyuan Pavilion to rest. The book monster Yingying immediately flew up and landed on his shoulder.
Today was the second day of the Lunar New Year, and even the emperor had to walk around the palace, pay New Year's greetings to the empress dowager, and meet with civil and military officials, and the same was true for everyone else. Therefore, apart from them, there was only one keeper of the collection in Wenyuan Pavilion.
Suddenly, the book monster Yingying flew to his forehead and sat down, with her legs hanging down and swaying. Su Yun could see her skirt when he raised his eyes, and thought to himself: "If I can kidnap Yingying..."
"Mr. Su is a little worried today." said the book monster Yingying.
"Right. I was wondering how I could defeat a Tiandao Academy member."
Su Yun hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "The scholars of Tiandao Academy are all geniuses, and their aptitude and understanding are rare in the world. My talent is not high enough, and I have only been practicing for a short time. I don't know how to defeat such a strong man. That's why I am worried."
Yingying stood up and walked down from his forehead to his nose. She turned around, bent down, looked into his eyes, and asked curiously, "Your Qi and blood cultivation, as well as your physical strength, are already among the best in the Soul Condensation Realm, but you are still lacking in magical powers and adaptability. The books you chose this time are all basic knowledge in the Soul Condensation Realm, which shows that you are aware of this and are making up for it."
Su Yun nodded.
Yingying bent down, put her little head closer, and said, "But you still don't have confidence, because you have never fought with Tiandao Academy members. You don't know how strong they are, nor do you know what they are good at."
Su Yun nodded again.
"But I know."
Yingying chuckled and said, "I know what every Tiandao Academy scholar has learned. I remember every book they have read here. I can guess most of what they have learned and understood! Every Tiandao Academy scholar has his or her own unique and special skills. As long as we know what they have learned and understood, it will be no problem to deal with them!"
Su Yun's eyes lit up and he said, "Yingying, do you know how to deal with Di Ping?"
"Emperor Ping?"
Book Monster Yingying was stunned, and quickly glanced at the Tibetan keeper in the distance, and whispered: "You want to challenge Di Ping?"
Su Yun shook his head and said, "It's not a challenge to Di Ping, but a beating of Di Ping."
He raised his palm and clenched it tightly, his five fingers snapping. "I will knock Di Ping to the ground, trample his dignity and honor under my feet, and then twist it hard and smash it to pieces!"
Book Monster Yingying was so excited that she was shaking a little, and her voice was also shaking a little: "Step on it and twist it? And you want to twist it into pieces? Do you really dare to do this? Aren't you afraid?"
Su Yun smiled and said, "What do I have to fear?"
The book monster Yingying clenched her fists in excitement, and flew around his head, making Su Yun dizzy. She said excitedly: "Defeat Di Ping? This is going to be exciting, hehe... But it's not easy! Di Ping has three teachers. The first one is Xue Taichang, the second one is Qu Taichang, and the third one is Qiu Taichang. The three of them are good at different unique skills..."
Su Yun was startled and asked in a lost voice, "Did Saint Xue also teach him?"
The book monster Yingying landed on his left shoulder, holding her pointed chin with one hand, walking back and forth, thinking: "Emperor Ping is almost a person without any weaknesses. When he was still in his mother's womb, his mother took rare and precious herbs from all over the world to strengthen his body, and the monks performed rituals, Taoists prayed for blessings, and great scholars praised righteousness to cleanse his bones and marrow. When he was born, the saints opened his wisdom for him. Was he born with more than a golden key?"
Su Yun was also shocked and murmured, "How many resources are piled on him to make him sick?"
Yingying glanced at him and said unhappily, "He is not sickly at all. He is very strong. His muscles, principles, tendons, veins, blood, fluids, heart, lungs, eyes, bones, qi, spirit, wisdom, and strength have all been cultivated to the strongest level among his peers! If we grade him according to these aspects, he will definitely get full marks in every aspect! If he hadn't coveted immortality, he wouldn't have consumed his own essence..."
When Su Yun heard her talk about muscles, principles, tendons, veins, blood, fluids, heart, lungs, eyes, bones, qi, and spirit, he couldn't help but feel moved and asked, "Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon?"
"What sixteen chapters?" Yingying suddenly became a little dazed, with a blank look in her eyes.
"I mean the Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon."
Su Yun did not notice her strange behavior and explained, "I saw the Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon in that book you have never read. It said that Zi Gelong, a scholar of the Tiandao Academy, came up with the Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon 150 years ago..."
Yingying's eyes were dull, she shook her head, and seemed to be unsteady on her feet.
Su Yun said to himself, "The Sixteen Chapters of True Dragon are divided into muscles, principles, tendons, veins, blood, fluid, heart, scales, eyes, whiskers, manes, claws, bones, and qi, which are very similar to what you just said about muscles, principles, tendons, veins, blood, fluid, heart, lungs, and eyes, so I suddenly remembered this book."
Yingying staggered and tried hard to open her eyes. There was a gleam of light in her eyes, but then it dimmed and was obscured by a black air.
"I really have such a book at home. Yingying, do you want to read it..."
Su Yun had just said this when he saw Yingying fall from his shoulder without a word. Su Yun was startled and hurried to catch her.
"My head hurts..."
The book monster Yingying muttered something, glanced at him, slowly fell into his palm, and turned into a book.
Su Yun was stunned. He saw a thick black aura in the eyes of the book monster Yingying: "Seal? Something has sealed Yingying's memory! No, no, this kind of seal should have triggering conditions. As long as a certain word is spoken, the seal will be triggered!"
He walked back and forth, thinking: "She must be sealed. As long as she hears the words "True Dragon Sixteen Chapters", the seal will be activated, making her unconscious. Her current state seems to be similar to what I heard about Qingyu Town that day..."
Just as Su Yun thought of this, he suddenly felt dizzy and had a splitting headache. He fell to his knees with a thud, and his mind went blank.
He was like a fish out of water, with his eyes wide open and gasping for breath.
After a long time, Su Yun finally came to his senses. He slowly stood up, covered in cold sweat.
"Like Yingying, I also had part of my memory sealed away!"
His mind buzzed, and his throat felt dry as sand: "It's not that I forgot my memories before the age of seven, but someone sealed my memories before the age of seven!"
Su Yun walked back and forth, his face uncertain: "Who sealed me? Who sealed Yingying? I know the meaning of the Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon, and it involves the team leader, but Qing..."
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear that he would fall into that kind of morbidity again.
"Since it is a seal, there must be a way to break the seal!"
Su Yun patted his face to circulate his blood and restore his complexion to normal. He then quietly put the book that Yingying had turned into into his arms.
He walked forward as if nothing had happened, stuffed "On the Miscellaneous Uses of the Soul" and "On the Correspondence between Heaven and Man" back to the bookshelf in Wenyuan Pavilion, then turned around and walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion.
The keeper of the collection was a white-haired old man who was sitting behind the counter, dozing off on a recliner. He said without even looking up, "Scholar, you are not allowed to take away the books in Wenyuan Pavilion."
"Disciple understands." Su Yun walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion with a smile on his face.
His pace gradually quickened as he walked towards the gate of Tiandaoyuan. His heartbeat seemed to be getting out of control and slowly became faster and faster.
Su Yun forced himself to suppress his heartbeat, smiling widely, not daring to look back to see if the Tibetan keeper had caught up with him.
The gate of Tiandao Academy was getting closer and closer, and Su Yun's footsteps were getting faster and faster. At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Brother Su Yun! You came to study on the second day of the New Year. You are really diligent."
Su Yun clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and turned around. The moment he turned around, a smile appeared on his face again: "It turns out to be Brother Diping. On the second day of the Chinese New Year, you also come to study."
"Wrong, I took some time out of my busy schedule to come to Tiandaoyuan to see if I can wait for you."
Di Ping looked like a sickly young man, with his hands behind his back, walking slowly towards him, staring at him intently, and said, "I really want to know about your progress in practicing the Chaotianque technique these days. What I want to know more is Qiu Shuijing's reaction after seeing you practicing the Chaotianque technique."
Su Yun laughed and said, "Brother Diping, how can Mr. Shuijing react?"
Di Ping said calmly: "Qiu Shuijing will definitely be very anxious after learning that you are practicing the Great Unification Method. He will not sit idly by and watch you repeat the mistakes of those dead scholars. He will definitely do his best to complete the Great Unification Method! This is how I use you to let Qiu Shuijing do things for me! Brother Yun, I wonder if my guess is right?"
Su Yun shook his head and smiled, "Brother Ping, your guess is not right at all. I am practicing the Great Unification Technique, so why should I ask Mr. Shui Jing for advice? My own wisdom alone is enough to make up for the flaws in the Great Unification Technique."
He smiled slightly: "People's wisdom is naturally different. It just so happens that my wisdom is just a little bit higher than Brother Ping's. How can you use me?"
"Really, Brother Yun?" Di Ping said with a smile.
"Yes, Brother Ping." Su Yun smiled.
The two men looked at each other and looked away. Di Ping laughed and said, "You are the first person who dares to speak to me like this. I am angry, but at the same time I am looking forward to it. I haven't felt this kind of humiliation for a long time."
Su Yun felt the book in his arms move, and his heart skipped a beat: "Yingying is about to wake up! If she wakes up at this time and sticks her head out of my arms, she will be caught red-handed..."
He stretched his body and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Ping, I want to challenge you! You and I in Tiandaoyuan will use the great unified skills to determine who is better!"
Zhaizhu: I recommend this book, "I am the Director of the Spirit Museum", it's a very good book!
