Chapter 16 You are not considered among the living After
Mo Lin left, Lin Du thought of something on the way back, "Does our sect's bookstore have calligraphy?" "
Probably not." Xia Tianwu replied, "What's wrong?"
Lin Du nodded, "Nothing."
Who knew that on the second day after returning to the sect, she received a stack of books sent by the head of the sect, and the top one was the Thousand Character Classic.
Feng Chao looked at her with a kind look, "I was busy counting the winter accounts and the affairs of our sect's territory after the beginning of spring, so I was delayed. Your master probably doesn't pay attention to these. Although we are practicing Taoism, we cannot lack cultural literacy. You should learn these first. If you don't understand, you can ask me."
Lin Du was a little surprised, and then quickly thanked him.
"Thank you, Master."
"Just call me Senior Sister." Feng Chao was born as gorgeous as a lady, but she was a person who worried about everything. She was busy with all the affairs of the sect, but she still cared about Lin Du's trivial matter.
"Senior Sister." Lin Du could actually understand the book by combining the context. This was like the instinct of the descendants of the Chinese. As long as it was placed in the context, even traditional Chinese characters could be read smoothly.
Feng Chao touched Lin Du's head and then sighed, "You are too thin, or you don't eat enough."
"Study hard, our Wushang Sect has always convinced people with reason, and I admire disciples like you who are good at studying."
After saying this, she left in a hurry, "Okay, I still have to dig bamboo shoots in the back mountain, let's go."
Lin Du sat down quietly with the stack of books and then opened the Thousand Character Classic.
Only then did she realize that there was a burning formation on the Thousand Character Classic. As long as it was opened, every word on it could be automatically read out.
"The sky and the earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless.
The sun and the moon wax and wane, and the stars are lined up.
..."
Lin Du thought it was fun and read a sentence along with it. Suddenly, he noticed that a small statue on the page seemed to understand and swayed along with her movements.
As soon as she stopped, the little man frowned, "Don't be lazy, you must work hard and persevere until you finish learning. If you can't finish memorizing it, come with me to the back mountain to dig bamboo shoots."
Lin Du covered his forehead and smiled, and wanted to close the book with evil intentions.
He heard a scream, "You are the future hope of our sect, how can you give up halfway!"
"You are really the worst student I have ever taught."
"The dog heard it and replied with a bark, but you didn't say anything."
The gaps between the pages of the book became narrower and narrower, and finally the little man turned into a pleading, "Hey, don't leave yet, take a look, okay, finish reading this time first."
Lin Du opened the book again, and suddenly felt that the world of cultivation was much more interesting than he had imagined.
She stayed quietly by the window on the first floor of the sect's library, carefully reciting the Thousand Character Classic and then copying it down stroke by stroke.
Until the real person who never showed up in the library sent her a message, "It's time for dinner, go eat."
Lin Du was the only new disciple who came to the library every day, because her unreliable master was unwilling to teach her those basic things and let her read books by herself.
When Lin Du was in college, the school had a lively learning atmosphere and the library was often full. She often followed the crowd and went to the library, which was very comfortable.
This book house is not far from the back mountain of the sect, on a small hill. There is a long green brick staircase outside the gate, with verdant trees on both sides, surrounded by mist. The trees are darker than other places, like green mountains emerging from an ink painting, and the mist is a blurred ink mark.
The young man in brocade robe stepped on the leaves and landed outside the dining hall. Before she set foot inside, she already knew the recipe for today.
The bacon that was not eaten during the New Year was fried with garlic leaves, and there was also a pot of fresh and thick chicken soup. Today, there was a smell of medicinal herbs. I'm afraid it was the work of Senior Brother Jiang Liang.
She stepped into the dining hall and saw that, as expected, Xia Tianwuzheng was helping with his sleeves rolled up. Not all the new disciples had arrived yet.
"Master, the junior uncle is here."
"She's here just in time. I've prepared the elixir for her. Go get it for her."
The next moment the man's voice sounded, a young man with a smile followed, "Thank you, Master Jiang Liang, for your trouble."
In the back kitchen, a man in sandalwood narrow sleeves was swinging around with a shovel in his hand. Hearing this, he turned his head and covered his face with his hands, "Stand there and don't move!"
Lin Du's outstretched feet were hanging in the air.
"Don't come over! Don't come over." Jiang Liang turned his back to Lin Du, his voice trembling, "I'm afraid of living people."
...
Lin Du glanced at Xia Tianwu. No wonder this nephew was so quiet.
Jiang Liang, a medicine cultivator who was rumored to be able to make medicine to revive the dead and heal the bones, once said a sentence in Xia Tianwu's script.
"I can save the living dead, but if you are dead in heart, I can't save you no matter what."
Even though the plot later is that the scumbag suddenly realized that he only saved his life because Bai Yueguang saved her life, and he must save her out of responsibility, and he really loves Xia Tianwu, so he staged a series of chases to the crematorium of his wife, and even personally cut out his own golden elixir to give to Jiang Liang to make elixir to save Xia Tianwu.
Jiang Liang never forgave this scumbag who hurt his apprentice. After learning that his apprentice accepted the scumbag again, he was furious and closed himself off, never to come out again.
But Lin Du didn't expect that this senior brother, a medicine cultivator, was actually a social phobia?
Oh, it's not even a social phobia anymore, it's a severe phobia.
Xia Tianwu said in time, "Little Master, my master doesn't often see strangers. He has never seen this year's new disciple, so he is a little..."
"I understand, I understand." Lin Du silently retracted his feet, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Jiang Liang, for preparing the medicine for me. I won't come in to help for now."
"Wait a minute." A silver thread flew over diagonally. Lin Du subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the silver thread wrapped around her wrist as if it had eyes.
She was startled, and then felt the spiritual power above her penetrate into her veins like hot spring water. There was no malice, so she stood obediently.
"Let me take your pulse. Your master sent me a letter, but he can't read it as accurately as I can."
The man still stood with his back to Lin Du. He pondered for a moment, then sighed softly and turned around. He had a fair face like a handsome scholar with a short beard, but he was still as elegant as a scholar. He frowned slightly and his face looked extremely solemn.
"Weren't you afraid of living people just now?" Lin Du was originally wondering how such a medicine cultivator could cure diseases and save lives, but she didn't expect that he entered the state faster than her.
"You are not counted as a living person." Jiang Liang said succinctly.
Xia Tianwu's face changed. The master was indeed afraid of living people, but there was only one situation in which he would directly face the patients who came to seek medical treatment, that is, people who were already unconscious or dying.
She looked at Jiang Liang in surprise, "Master..., did you make a mistake because you were too far away? Or this silver thread..."
Lin Du laughed instead of getting angry, and happily walked in. It's
much better than saying that she is not a human being.
"Fifth Brother, do you think I can still be saved?"
"You are sick, seriously ill."
