Chapter 28: Can’t monks sleep?



The two came to the side hall and were once again shocked by the almost overwhelming number of books.

Shi Liuli found an empty corner, took out a book from the bookshelf and read it for a while. Immediately, it was as if mosquito coils were swirling in his eyes.

Luo Yan also found a book and read it for a while. He felt that the author's writing was very interesting - although a little crazy.

The author claims that the reason why the Guixu Array looks different every time it is observed is because it is actually three-dimensional, not two-dimensional.

Every time the monks made an observation, what they recorded was only "a certain section" of this three-dimensional object...

Luo Yan quickly flipped to the back and found that the author was just guessing and had no evidence to support his point of view, so he immediately lost interest.

It seems that among these more than 100,000 books, there are probably not many that are truly useful.

He went to the window of the side hall again and looked out.

The Guixu Formation is a large formation located in the central courtyard. Looking down from the top, it is exactly the center of Guixu.

Everyone who looked out of the side hall window could see the extremely complex and gorgeous formation on the ground, which looked like a work of art woven with silver threads, exquisite and yet natural.

What was even more strange was that the formation was constantly changing, becoming more and more complicated and indescribable...

"Do you understand?" Miss Shi's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, interrupting Luo Yan's thoughts that were almost immersed in it.

"Well, it's quite interesting." Luo Yan said perfunctorily.

"You're lying." Shi Liuli curled her lips and continued to stare at him.

Junior brother has been staring at the formation for a quarter of an hour just now, how could it be that it is just “a little interesting”?

She looked around carefully again and found that everyone was still minding their own business and no one was paying attention to them.

Since he couldn't understand the book and there was no entertainment around, Shi Liuli could only sit next to Luo Yan, staring motionlessly at the Guixu Formation outside the window.

Luo Yan came to the bookshelf and started searching quickly.

Possessing the gift of understanding a thousand things from a single glance, no matter which book he picks up, he can roughly understand what it is about just by quickly scanning a few pages.

Therefore, most of the books that were full of subjective conjectures and assumptions were ruthlessly glanced over by him.

Only those books on formations that were truly meaningful would be kept in his hands, and he would read them carefully page by page.

Although the speed of this careful reading was a bit fast - he stayed on each page for about two seconds before turning the page, the expression on Luo Yan's face was extremely serious.

The monks around him did not pay any attention to him.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Yan was suddenly woken up by Miss Shi again.

"How do you see it?" Shi Liuli asked.

"The books here are really great!" Luo Yan said with great joy, "There are several hand talks by formation masters. I've heard Master mention them before..."

"Okay, okay." Shi Liuli looked around fearfully, then quickly pushed Luo Yan out.

When the two passed by the main hall again, they saw Zhunmangjun sitting on the throne, holding a piece of wood in his hand, which he casually carved into the shape of a crude treasure ship with a carving knife.

Then he threw it out casually, and saw the treasure ship escape from the water film, quickly becoming bigger and bigger, and floating quickly upwards.

Luo Yan: ...

Shi Liuli: ...

So the Sanyu Treasure Ship that brought us in was made by you!

"We have to bring in more people." Noticing the complicated looks of the two, Zhunmang Jun turned around and smiled handsomely, "Otherwise, the speed at which the monks in Guixu commit suicide is much faster than the speed at which new people are added."

"May I ask Lord Zhunmang, why the treasure ship is not affected by the big ravine and can float freely?" Luo Yan asked seriously.

"I don't know either." Zhunmang Jun said frankly, "Maybe it has something to do with the materials. These woods... have been piled up on the Guixu formation in the central courtyard for a long time. Maybe they are imbued with the power of the formation? That's why they can't sink in the ravine like Guixu itself?"

Luo Yan listened thoughtfully and asked:

"Can I go to the central courtyard and look at the timber?"

"Please do as you wish." Zhunmang Jun said with a smile, "But be careful not to block the sight of the monks behind the surrounding windows."

"If you block their observation of the Guixu formation, they might... become a little irritable."

"Of course, in Guixu, no one is allowed to attack each other. I will stop it."

"Thank you." Luo Yan bowed slightly.

When they returned to the room again, Shi Liuli suddenly relaxed, lying on the stone bed and stretching.

"Phew, I'm so bored." She covered her mouth and yawned. "Every day is so hard to endure. I finally understand why those monks were driven crazy. One hundred thousand years...how did they survive?"

"Sister, if you feel bored, you can sleep in your room tomorrow." Luo Yan suggested sincerely.

His tone was quite sincere, but Kunlun Mirror did not remove the illusion this time, so Miss Shi compared this temperament with the previous one, and immediately felt something was wrong, and said aggrievedly:

"Are you dissatisfied with my being in your way?"

Luo Yan:?

"No, how could that be?" Seeing that Miss Shi was about to burst into tears again, Luo Yan could only sigh in his heart and quickly comforted her, "I feel more at ease with my senior sister by my side."

"You are a liar!" Shi Liuli cried.

"I didn't lie..."

"You were buried in a book the whole day and didn't even look at me!"

Why do I feel like my girlfriend is throwing a tantrum and making unreasonable demands, trying to attract her boyfriend's attention?

Luo Yan suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said patiently:

"Senior sister, you are overthinking. I have actually been watching you the whole time."

"real?"

"Of course it's true. It's truer than sincerity. If you don't believe me, look into my eyes." Luo Yan opened his eyes shamelessly.

Shi Liuli gathered up her temper and stared at him "fiercely" for a few seconds. Suddenly, she remembered something and retreated with a red face.

"There's not even any bedding here. How are we going to sleep tonight?" she said, changing the subject.

"Sleeping?" Luo Yan was immediately surprised when he heard this. "Sister, why do you still have the habit of sleeping? Don't we cultivators just need to meditate and enter a state of concentration?"

"I like to sleep, what do you care about me?" Shi Liuli glared at him for a few seconds, then quickly became sad, "The bed I usually sleep on has several layers of soft bedding... I can't get used to sleeping on such a hard stone bed."

"But senior sister, I really didn't bring any bedding." Luo Yan said in embarrassment.

I can't ask Ajing to teleport me out, buy me and bring me back, right?

Even without considering the risk of exposing the secret, A Jing would probably not tolerate such unreasonable requests from Miss Shi.

Shi Liuli also thought for a moment, and suddenly said:

"Are you going to meditate all night?"

"Really?" Luo Yan said in confusion. Which cultivator doesn't meditate at night?

"Then I'll sleep on your lap." Shi Liuli said arrogantly, not giving Luo Yan a chance to refuse, and directly rested his head on his cross-legged lap.

Luo Yan: ...

Forget it, let her be.

The next morning, Miss Shi had a stiff neck.
