A life of clearness

Chapter 17 The Book of Everything

After finishing the instructions, Yan Shuang seemed to be very busy indeed, so he returned to the boat and left in a hurry.

As for Cheng Ke, Rong Qing didn't dare to look at him any more. She lowered her head and said, "I will go back to my room first. I dare not neglect the things that the adults have told me to do."

Cheng Ke didn't say anything more. He glanced at her with an ambiguous look and said, "Just do your best."

Compared to Rong Qing completing the task on time or even ahead of schedule, and killing the other party boringly, he was more looking forward to how she would collapse as the deadline got closer.

She would kneel down and beg him with tears streaming down her face, right?
Cheng Ke smiled and walked away.

Completely different from Yan Shuang's flying, he leaped across the mountains with a few steps, which was even more powerful than the most brilliant Qinggong in the secular world.

Being bullied by a Qigong practitioner. Rong Qing smiled bitterly.

The strong dominate the weak, which has always been the most important principle in the cultivation world. This is also true in the secular world.

The preferential treatment that she had been enjoying for a long time made her unable to see her own position clearly.

“There is no one in this world who is always strong and can guarantee that he will never fall.” He muttered to himself.

The so-called defeating the strong with the weak depends on luck, and "weakness" is not absolute.

No... there are exceptions, Rong Qing thought back.

In fact, there are some people, she just looks at their backs and never thinks that there will be a day when she will surpass them.

The monks who follow the ruthless path in the snow-capped mountains of the Arctic eliminate the "human" part of themselves and pursue the ultimate harmony with the way of heaven.

"We can't get along." Because the gap between us is so big, we don't fit in among the group of big guys.

Rong Qing held her stomach, it hurt again.

While Cheng Ke was away, she went to the side room to take a look at Master Guo.

"Sir." Zhong Xiu pulled Rong Qing's sleeve.

After she helped Master Guo in, she immediately put him on the bed.

At this moment, Master Guo's eyes were tightly closed and his face was pale. Although his hair had been tidied, his messy gray hair still clearly appeared at the corner of his forehead.

Rong Qing leaned over and looked at Master Guo, who usually discussed with her with full energy, lying on the bed with weak breathing. Her heart ached.

"Did you wake up during this time?"

"No." Zhong Xiu shook his head.

Rong Qing touched Master Guo's hand, and the veins bulged under the dry skin.

She can't even take a pulse!
"Someone will definitely come to rescue us." Rong Qing held Zhong Xiu's hand.

The firm tone made me wonder whether he was trying to convince the other person or himself.

"Will she be okay?" Zhong Xiu was completely afraid of these immortal methods.

She asked in a low voice in Rong Qing's ear, not daring to tell her daughter's name.

"She is our chance." Rong Qing held Zhong Xiu's hand tightly, not caring that both of their palms were already wet.

When she followed the controlled Master Guo into the screen, she noticed that Jia Jia was hiding very sensitively, but the person controlling Master Guo was unaware of it. So he deliberately pretended that there was no Jia Jia to talk to.

I originally thought that the puppet control technique was not advanced enough, but now it seems that it is because Cheng Ke’s cultivation is too low.

With a cultivation level that is not even at the foundation building stage, she can remotely control puppets and can separate her spiritual energy to use magic tools... She prefers to call them props, so she must be very talented. At least when Rong Qing was in the Qi training stage, she couldn't guarantee that she could do better than Cheng Ke.

She and Master Guo left the city before curfew and have not returned yet. The palace must have heard the news. Suicheng is so close to these monks, but it has suffered little from them. I think there must be at least one monk from Jingguo staying in Suicheng, which is why Cheng Ke was cautious in his actions in Suicheng today.

As long as the cultivators from Jingguo find the bookstore, they can find Jiajia. Zhongxiu and Jiajia are mother and daughter, and they are connected by blood. In addition to other types of tracking methods, the cultivators here may also know the blood traction technique, and then they can accurately find the location of the three of them.

Rong Qing followed this line of thought and even she felt comforted.

I'm not trying to please Zhong Xiu, but if you think this way, it is indeed feasible.

Now the only way is to delay time.

Can we really have three days? Rong Qing took a deep breath and looked at Master Guo who was still unconscious. Can Master Guo still hold on until then?

"Xiu Niang."

"Ah."

"Take care of the Master first, and see if there is anything to eat or use in this courtyard. If there is nothing, go to the kitchen. Mainly water, feed a little every hour." Rong Qing emphasized, "If the Master wakes up, or has any fever, you must come to me. Immediately, understand?"

"I know, sir." Zhong Xiu has always been very strong, "Sir, you have to take care of yourself too."

Rong Qing nodded perfunctorily.

She was in a state of disgrace. Even if she was useful to these monks now, she would not be treated well. She simply ignored these external things.

She touched the blood scab on her forehead, which was still clinging to some broken hair and hardened into small pieces. Even if Zhong Xiu didn't say anything, she could feel it.

"Ah"

Suppressing the resentment and anger in her heart, Rong Qing turned around and returned to the room assigned to her.

Even if it was just for show, she should be there. There was only a simple small table in the room. This was not a study, and many of the utensils could not be replaced.

After looking around the small suite in the house and finding nothing, Rong Qing could only make do with this small table.

The contents of the bookcase were very complete, and even when the carriage fell to the ground, the contents were not damaged.

Without having time to feel bad about the wear and tear on the corners of the box, Rong Qing quickly set up the temporary desk and moved a stool to increase the length.

As for the so-called "Book of Everything", Rong Qing was a little puzzled based on his knowledge over the past eight hundred years.

Without a doubt, it was a magical instrument. But was it just to be given to her?

She is now a mortal without any spiritual energy.

There was nothing on the cover, but as she turned to the second page, she saw on the left side the words "Everything can be found, and every word can be clearly defined."

And the right side... is blank like the cover.

They gave her the magic weapon so easily without saying anything, unless they thought it was so simple that there was no need to say anything.

Rong Qing probed: "Yehuzhou Chronicle".

Soon, a long list of directories appeared on the blank page on the right.

Looking at the densely packed volumes, she subconsciously touched the paper and swiped it upwards.

no response.

"..."

Well, even Rong Qing herself was stunned by this subconscious action that had not appeared for a long time.

When she came to her senses, she thought of a possibility, and even her stomach didn't hurt anymore.

If this product can be mass-produced, wouldn't she be rich?
This surprise lasted less than three breaths.

Was it because she didn't pay much attention to the news about various special instruments? She really had no impression of this thing at all.

Even in the consensus of the cultivation community, the most basic magical tools must be infused with spiritual power before they can be used.

There was confusion and vigilance in Rong Qing's eyes as she gazed at the Book of All Things.

The technique of storing images is not difficult in the cultivation world. The function of retrieval can also be replaced by prohibitions. To give a simple example, even a new disciple who has just practiced Qi can trigger the reaction of the entry jade slip with a very small amount of spiritual power in his body, connect his spiritual consciousness, and read the large amount of image and text information in the jade slip. This reading speed is extremely fast, and with the improvement of cultivation and the breakthrough of realm, the upper limit of its ability is rising. As for the ability of high-level cultivators to receive and process information, mortals can't imagine it at all.

Rong Qing had never heard of news that a mortal could use a magical weapon so easily.

Rong Qing picked up one of the papers and tried to call out its name.

Sure enough, the words on the page faded and new words gradually appeared. It was indeed the correct content.

Just "Next page?"

It seemed that it did not understand, and jumped to a new directory based on the pronunciation of what Rong Qing said.

This is a bit silly, Rong Qing thought to herself.

Normally, she would have the time to play around, but at this moment, she just wanted to quickly research various functions...

"Sir." There was a knock on the door.

?

I just figured out how to turn to the next page. It turns out to be an inhumane operation to turn to the previous page and then turn back.

"What's wrong?" Rong Qing hurried to open the door, "Master, is he awake?"

"No." Zhong Xiu was visibly panicked. "We can't get out."

She simply pulled Rong Qing out.

The rain had stopped. Although we were in the mountains, there was no sound of any animals, and it was eerily quiet.

He pulled Rong Qing all the way to the gate of the courtyard.

"Here." She motioned Rong Qing to reach out and touch the air in front of her.

Seeing this action, Rong Qing already understood half of it.

really!

She reached out her hand, but was only halfway there when she was blocked by an invisible object.

At the same time, I got feedback that my palms were tingling.

"Oh no." Dejected.

This feeling... this restriction can actually connect to the owner of the restriction.

As far as Rong Qing knew, there were thousands of restrictions that prevented people from leaving. If she could "see", she wouldn't have touched it.

Whether it's Yan Shuang who seems to be good-tempered, or Cheng Ke who clearly shows his disgust, she doesn't want to see them!
