Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 78: The Immortal in the Book, the Old Senior
Wang Chen remembered that when he first entered this strange space, a golden light flashed by. At that time, he thought it was the light caused by the space transformation.
Later, when he was walking through the black fog, he saw the flash more than once.
"But if that weird flash..."
"Is it a book?"
As if in response to his doubt, a streak of light cut through the darkness and flashed past his eyes.
Almost subconsciously, Wang Chen pointed his finger.
Xiao Yao couldn't help but fly out and knocked something the size of an earthen bowl to the ground.
"Ouch, it hurts so much." An old voice came from Xiaoyao's hand, breaking the silence.
"What the hell is this thing that can actually talk?"
Because his feet were also unable to move, and the stream of light moved a long distance in an instant, Wang Chen had no choice but to lie down and stretch his hands as far as he could before he could grab something. However, the thing actually struggled violently in his palms as if it had life.
Wang Chen put the thing in front of his eyes and saw that it was a little old man with white hair and a cane. There was a golden halo flowing around him. Looking closely, those halos turned out to be swirling and floating words.
"Let me go quickly."
The little old man kept struggling.
"Who are you?" Wang Chen was puzzled. "Could this old man be a book? How should I read this book?"
"The immortal in the book, old senior." said the old man proudly.
"The immortal in the book?"
Wang Chen looked at the old man inexplicably.
"Is it possible that the book has become a spirit?"
This space is very strange. Even the copy of "Guangyuan Tongjian" in his hand can be heard chanting from the writing. So it is not surprising that some of the better books can be cultivated into spirits.
It's just that a book demon calls himself a god, which is really... a bit vain.
"Senior, are you able to answer a few questions for me?" Wang Chen asked tentatively.
"Tell me about your problem." The immortal in the book nodded lightly, looking like a master.
Wang Chen was overjoyed. He didn't expect that this arrogant book demon could be so easy to talk to.
It is true that knowledge determines cultivation.
"Please, senior, tell me about the ins and outs of the Six Paths Sword inheritance, its hidden mysteries, flaws, and other related information. The more complete the better."
He did not directly ask about the issue that concerned him the most, which was why his cultivation level could not improve at all. Instead, he started with the Six Paths Sword, which was more targeted and easier to find the answer to, and first explored the background of this book demon.
You have to know that there are many kinds of books. If this book monster with a hint of vulgarity is some kind of sad and gentle romance book, or some other kind of human book like Mei, then it would be a waste of time to get entangled with him here.
"Oh, so you're asking about the Six Paths Sword."
The old man nodded and said:
"I just want to hear your question, I don't intend to answer it."
"Let me go immediately!"
collapse!
A vein popped up on Wang Chen's forehead.
"There is such a despicable book demon?"
However, although it is a bit cheap, it does not have much malice. Otherwise, if it makes up nonsense or tampers with the key points of the problem, and people believe it to be true, it will be a big problem.
What's more, the Six Paths Sword was just a test. What he wanted to find more was the answer to how to improve his cultivation level. There couldn't be any mistakes on this issue, otherwise he would go insane at best, or die on the spot at worst.
Thinking about it this way, Wang Chen felt that books that had not turned into book monsters were more reliable. At least they had no intentions, just like the Guangyuan Tongjian in his hand.
"Sometimes too much is as bad as too little." He sighed inwardly.
The immortal in the book was originally waiting to admire Wang Chen's angry face, but he looked around blankly and saw that Wang Chen had actually loosened his hand that was tightly holding his, and just sat down cross-legged, opened the "Guangyuan Tongjianlu" in his hand , and began to read it attentively.
The bizarre fighting scenes and the magnificent historical background in the book turned into a faint light, illuminating Wang Chen's focused outline.
Mixed with the darkness that had lasted for who knows how many years, the book demon inexplicably felt a sense of abandonment and loneliness.
It was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly, turned into a flash of light and disappeared into the darkness.
Five days passed unknowingly, and one third of "Guangyuan Tongjianlu" had been read. Wang Chen learned about many secrets of the cultivation world and the overlapping and replacement of sects, generations of geniuses and powerful people, and many major events that happened long ago.
But at the same time, he discovered that there were many small nodes in this book that did not fit perfectly, and he had not seen any relevant content about the Six Paths Sword.
Normally speaking, with Chen Shushu's strength, it was already a fluke for him to catch a book as fast as a bird. Even this guy knew the legend of the Six Paths Sword, so why didn't he discover it?
“Is it because the book is too detailed and thick?”
Thinking back to the time when that turtle-like book was only as thick as a thumb and could be read through in two days, Wang Chen suddenly understood the reason.
If time is infinite, with Xiaoyao's magical powers, Wang Chen can be said to be the best person in this area.
But the key point is that his original intention was not to read the whole book, but to solve the difficult problems of cultivation. Thinking of this, he felt a little anxious.
Because he absolutely could not tolerate that his cultivation had not made any progress, especially since the magic here was even better than what Chen Shushu described.
"In your book, there are 1,802 errors and 3,617 omissions."
Just as I was feeling anxious, an old yet unstable voice suddenly appeared in my ears.
Wang Chen looked up with a confused look on his face, only to see the book demon floating three inches above his head with its hands behind its back.
"Hmph." The Book Fairy sneered in his heart. During these five days, he secretly observed Wang Chen in the mist of space, and saw that he had been reading the Guangyuan Tongjianlu, a book for his younger generation that he disdained, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
“I’m so angry!”
"That kid not only didn't get angry, but let me go directly. Now he is ignoring me like this..."
"It's like I'm pretending to know something and I've been seen through!"
In the black fog, where Wang Chen couldn't see, it paced angrily for five days in a row. The more it thought about it, the angrier it got, and finally it floated back.
"It's fate that we met. Since you look pretty good, I'll give you a chance. If you can tell me a question that I don't know the answer to, I'll answer all your questions!"
The book demon's beard moves without wind.
This sentence contains two mysteries.
The first level is that the immortal old man in your book knows everything in this world and can answer all your questions.
The second level... I just want you to know this, that's enough, and then I won't tell you anything else, so as to make you mad.
Looking at the book demon with an immortal look and golden characters all over his body, Wang Chen said without hesitation:
"What do men have that women don't, brothers have sisters that don't, monks have eunuchs that don't?"
The immortal aura was instantly broken, and the immortal in the book opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth:
"You little doll!"
He paced back and forth in rage, pointing at Wang Chen with a trembling hand as he walked.
"you you you!"
"You are disgracing yourself!"
"There's no way I could save you." He was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"Where's the answer? Old senior, please don't waste your time if you can't tell me." Wang Chen raised the Guangyuan Tongjianlu in his hand.
"I!"
"Do you think I dare not say it?!"
"I'll tell you right now."
"That's it, that's it..."
Wang Chen secretly laughed. He didn't expect that such a despicable book demon was actually a conservative old antique.
"yes.....***!"
"I never want to see you again!" The book demon felt that the pride and honor that had permeated his entire life with the fragrance of books had been completely tarnished today.
After saying this, he turned into a beam of golden light and shot out.
"Wrong, it's the beard."
Wang Chen's faint answer came from behind.
Xiaoyao watched the book demon, as straight as a stream of light, pause in the air.
"What are you thinking about? I never thought of that answer. The old senior's thoughts are really...something." Wang Chen murmured with his eyes narrowed.
Upon hearing this, the book demon fell straight .
