Step on the thick dust, leaving a clear footprints, the years old wooden ladder issued a low cackle, people worry that it will not collapse under the heavy pressure.
Fortunately, all the accidents didn't happen. Shen Shi followed the wooden ladder all the way up to the second floor of the library.
As you can feel when you look down, the second floor of the small building is very dark. When Shen Shi opens his eyes, he can only vaguely see that the area of the second floor seems to be smaller than that of the first floor. At the same time, in the dark shadow, there are several dark shadows standing there. The shape seems to be very similar to those bookshelves on the first floor.
It should also be a place to collect books. Shen Shi felt for a window beside him and opened it first. Suddenly, a bright light and fresh wind came to him. He narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and then looked back at the place again.
Sure enough, it's almost the same as the first floor, but on the second floor of this small building, there are only two bookshelves, and nothing else. And there are not many books on the bookshelf. At a glance, there are only about one third of the books on the bookshelf, which is much worse than the full one downstairs.
"Well?" Shen Shi was a little curious. He walked to the bookshelf and swept the old dust with his hands. Then he picked up some books and began to read them.
After reading a few books, Shen Shi found that the contents of the books here were not much different from those on the first floor. Most of the books were collected in the past when the bookshelves on the first floor were full, and the rest were received on the second floor. It was not that the books on the second floor were more precious than those on the first floor.
With this discovery, Shen Shi's curiosity has faded a lot. However, since the books are almost the same, there is no big difference between reading on the first floor and reading on the second floor. Now Shen Shi is too lazy to go downstairs. He just stands in front of the two bookshelves on the second floor and slowly turns over the books. When he sees something interesting, he pulls it out and reads it a few times. If it really aroused interest, he would just put it in his arms, which he would like to see in the future.
The breeze from the window into the building, with fresh cool, time will be in this line unconsciously quietly. Now, it seems that Shen's eyes are not real when he returns to the reading room
For a moment, there was a little loss in his heart, but soon he woke up from the inexplicable emotion, laughed a little, closed the pages in his hand, put them on the bookshelf, closed his eyes quietly for a moment, and then continued to walk behind the bookshelf.
I don't know which elder of the black phoenix demon clan collected so many books in the building. However, at least for now, Shen Shi doesn't seem to find any good books that arouse his interest in these books. Moreover, looking at all the books and classics collected in the building, there are many strange things in them, such as history, humanities, history, history and so on Geography, stories, legends, admonitions and so on are almost all there, but they are not classified, giving people a very confused feeling.
Maybe the elder of the black phoenix demon clan was just for the sake of vulgarity? Shen Shi had such a disrespectful idea in his mind. When he was chatting with the old white monkey, he once heard the old monkey demon say that although most of the ordinary demons don't read books nowadays, it was a very elegant and popular thing to collect books among those rich and powerful high-level demons in the past days. Baobuqi now also has individual admiring and recalling the demon clan in the glory era of the heaven demon king court in the past, including books and classics as a collection of elegant things.
But if you really like to collect books, how can you not take good care of them and put them in different categories? I think they are not very reliable.
Shen Shi skimmed his lips and scratched his fingers across the covers of the books on the bookshelf. Occasionally, he stopped, took out one and looked at it for a while. Then he put it back on the bookshelf and continued to look for the books. So unconsciously read two rows of shelves, and did not feel that there is any special valuable books, only the bottom shelf of the last shelf.
There are not many books here. There are only a dozen of them. In the case of no one turning them, they are all randomly placed, and the covers and pages are also very shabby. It is obvious that when they were collected here in those years, they were not very precious, and they were left here by the owner at will.
Shen Shi squatted down and didn't hold much hope. Just as before, he just flipped the books randomly.
Read one, lose one, read one, and lose another. Sure enough, there are many boring and useless miscellaneous books. I don't know how they were included in that year. I think the black phoenix demon clan who received the books has a bad eye.
In such a short time, he almost finished reading the books on the bottom shelf, and shook his head. Just as he wanted to stand up, Shen Shi suddenly saw a piece of broken paper at the end of the shelf, with some writing on it. Look at that, the paper is already dilapidated, and I don't know how many years have passed. I'm afraid the dust on it is not half an inch thick? Even most of the handwriting is blocked, only one or two words can be seen vaguely, and some words seem to be similar to "Yin and Yang".Shen Shi pauses, shakes his head and doesn't think much about it. He doesn't want to look at the dirty paper any more. Then he stands up and walks to the stairs, ready to go to the first floor to find the old white monkey.
The low sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs rang several times, and the creaking sound reverberated. But a moment later, it suddenly stopped for a while, and then the footsteps sounded again, but Shen Shi somehow came back, squatted down in front of the bookshelf, and picked up the broken paper.
Force a shake, dust instant flying, such as time in this book on the precipitation of countless time, eventually turned into countless fine dust. Through the dust, Shen Shi took the book to the light, and saw a few lines of writing on the old and worn-out paper:
Yin and Yang, the way of heaven and earth, the discipline of all things, the parents of change, the origin of life and death, and the house of gods. (Note 1).
Yin and Yang
The way of yin and Yang?
Shen Shi silently stares at the broken paper in his hand, coldly stares at the handwriting on it, and looks at the difficult and abstruse passage again and again. The light in his eyes gradually brightens up.
He thought quietly for a long time, and then began to look at the broken paper carefully, looking back and forth, but except for the text on the paper, there was no other trace on the broken paper.
Shen Shi slowly frowned and hesitated for a while. Suddenly, regardless of the dirt on the ground, he lay down on the bottom of the dusty bookshelf and searched every inch of it carefully.
Inch by inch, inch by inch, the ancient bookshelf glides quietly between his fingertips, and the dust falls quietly. When he knocks on a place by chance, the bookshelf will make a dull sound, until at a certain corner, the echo is suddenly thicker.
Shen Shi's gesture was a pause, and he knocked it several times. After confirming that the corner of the bookshelf was different, his eyes became brighter and he didn't hesitate. He began to dismantle the wooden frame directly. After several times of agitation, he finally opened a gap in the heavy wooden frame. Then, Shen Shi saw the inside of a wooden beam there, and he didn't know when it was dug out There was a deep circular ditch, where a black scroll lay quietly.
Shen Shi's heart beat fiercely, and even his breath was short. He grabbed the black scroll hidden in the dust, which had been forgotten for many years, turned around and looked at the bottom of the scroll.
Under the shadow, deep in the black, a faint touch of gold flickered by.
It is a vivid, as if across the time and never fade -
seven leaf sunflower.
At the door of the building, little black pig's ears swayed for a moment, and suddenly seemed to be a little restless.
It looked around and found that there was a quiet place around the building, not to mention a single person, not to mention any abnormal sound. Almost at the same time, a loud noise came from somewhere far away from the mansion, vaguely as if something startling had happened.
However, the little black pig was not interested in such a distant event. At this time, he turned around the door of the building and felt hungry.
There seems to be nothing to eat around here. Little black pig reluctantly wiggles his head, stays in the same place for a moment, and finally turns to walk inside the building.
The pig's hooves left a clear footprint in the dust on the ground. Little black pig soon saw that the old monkey demon was standing by a bookshelf, looking at it attentively with a book. He didn't seem to notice himself at all.
Anyway, the old man doesn't give himself anything to eat. The little black pig snorts and ignores the old white monkey. He turns around and looks for it. He doesn't see the shadow of Shen Shi, but he sees the stairs in front of him and the footprints on the stairs.
Xiao Hei ran to the second floor and took three and two steps. Although the dust here seems to be heavier than that on the first floor, which makes Xiao Hei pig feel a little uncomfortable, he soon saw Shen Shi, and immediately became happy. He hurried over and dawdled at Shen Shi's feet.
But Shen Shi's appearance at this time seems to be very strange, holding a strange style of black scroll in his hand, looking back and forth and pondering, he didn't find little black pig running to his side. However, under the perseverance of little black pig, Shen Shi finally regained his mind and took a look at little black pig.
The little black pig met the owner's eyes and grunted twice. The short and curled pig's tail also shook a few times, showing a kind of flattering appearance.
Shen Shi has been with Xiao Hei for three years. He knows the habits of Xiao Hei pig very well. At a glance, he can see that this guy is hungry again and runs to him for something to eat. If he would tease and play with Xiaohei on weekdays, but at this time, his whole mind was on the black scroll. He was not in the mood to pay attention to Xiaohei pig, so he reached to his waist and took off the sack and threw it to Xiaohei pig.
On weekdays, he would prepare some food for Xiao hei and put it in a gunny bag to hang around his waist. At the same time, because the little Ruyi ring that brought the demon world had already been damaged, some important items close to his body were also put in some cloth bags, including the magic talismans that he made on weekdays. So there were several bags hanging on his belt, but the food bag was not Sacks are easy to recognize.Little black pig was excited when he saw a bag thrown by Shen Shi. Over the years, he had been used to Shen Shi's feeding. He happily held the bag in his mouth. He just wanted to open the bag with his nose and eat it. But when he looked at the smelly dust around him, little black pig showed some disgust. He picked up the bag in his mouth and ran down the stairs Then he ran out of the building and went back to the stone steps outside the building. Then he put down the bag.
Hehe, today's bag seems to be bigger than usual. It seems that we can have a good meal!
Xiao Hei thought so in his heart, and then arched the mouth of the bag with his nose.
In the faint sound of saliva, I don't know why it doesn't have its favorite meat flavor floating out. On the contrary, a moment later, under Xiao Hei's surprised pig eyes, a warm and smooth bead with green, yellow and purple light rolled out, turned twice in front of it, and then seemed to roll down the stone steps.
Xiao Hei stretched out the pig's hoof and took the strange bead back. But his two eyes were staring at the bead. Between the flashes of light, he was in a daze for a moment.
