C16 Excuse

"The first time I came, I only stayed for three minutes." I was only five years old when I was young. How could I be in such a boring place? "

"Being young is no excuse." The Fourth Elder shouted into the room, "Lil 'Ye!"

A small figure emerged from the dense forest of bookshelves, holding a black unknown book that was thicker and bigger than the Xinhua dictionary. Fourth Grandpa, what business do you have with me? " Lil 'Ye stood properly, her chubby little face looked very nervous.

The Fourth Elder walked in front of Lil 'Ye and gently stroked Lil' Ye's head, "What are you reading?" Show me. "

He reached out and took the book from Ye Zichen, then casually flipped through it, "< Beginner's Magic >, do you want to become a mage?"

"Yes, I want to become a powerful mage like Sister Qin." With that, Ye Zichen looked at Yu Qin, who could not move at all, with fiery eyes.

Yu Qin's face instantly turned red. Li Mu, who was standing at the side, resisted the urge to laugh out loud. He didn't expect that Lil 'Ye would actually set Yu Qin as a target. Mislead a disciple!

"Then what are you going to do?" The Fourth Elder handed the book back to Lil 'Ye.

"I want to finish reading all the books on magic in the library." Lil 'Ye retracted the burning gaze of hope and held the book in her arms.

"Not a bad idea. Go back and take a look." The Fourth Elder could tell that Lil 'Ye was very afraid of him, so he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Did you see that? How old is Lil 'Ye?" He also knows how to read more, how to learn more, and what about you? "Sigh …" The Fourth Elder let out a heavy sigh.

Actually, there were no teachers in the village. Each person could only have one master in their entire life, and most of the masters were very busy, busy farming and hunting … There was not much time to teach his disciples. Thus, the library became the best place for the young disciples to go. There were many books and it was quiet. The most important thing was that the Fourth Elder was here. If they were lucky, the Fourth Elder would come over to give guidance. This was a rare opportunity.

"Not counting the first time, I've come here twice!" Yu Qin had decided to go all out. She would absolutely not lose face in front of Brother Lan.

"The second time I came and stole three Moonlight Pearls." The Fourth Elder pointed at the wall about ten meters away and said slowly.

Actually, Li Mu had long since noticed that place. The surrounding walls had a type of pearl that emitted a gentle white light. A row of beads were arranged neatly on the wall, but one was missing and three were missing. Yu Qin had taken them away.

"My lamp broke that time, and I only borrowed a few to use them. You don't have to be so stingy!" Yu Qin said, "Didn't I give it back to you in a few days?"

"Although it's returned, that bead …" Seeing Yu Qin's murderous gaze, the fourth elder had no choice but to stop the discussion about the bead, "Then let's talk about the third time. I remember that the third time you came here to look for a book." But didn't I say, there are no such books here, and if you don't believe me, you can just flip through them all over the place. "

Just a moment ago, the Fourth Elder was still praising this place as the best library. Unexpectedly, there were still books that he couldn't find. If it wasn't that strong, then it was just a weak place.

Yu Qin suddenly thought of a past that she couldn't bear to look back to, and her expression instantly fell, "Don't say it! "Damned old man, if you tell me about that, I'll burn you down!"

Although Li Mu was very curious, he could see that Yu Qin's words were serious. He obediently stopped and tried to suppress the gossiping in his body.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore. It's normal for young people to be interested in that sort of thing. " The fourth elder returned to his seat and said, "You should first take little Lan to familiarize yourself with the environment here."

"You can read any book here, but you can't intentionally damage it. You can't take it out, you can't make a ruckus here!" Yu Qin walked as she introduced the rules. Soon, she arrived at a rather special place. Li Mu suspected that this was a children's reading area. If not, there wouldn't be so many children here. They were all children, no more than ten years old.

"There are a lot of books on enlightenment here. There are at least a hundred thousand cultivation methods on spirit energy alone, but most of them are about the same. I suggest you practice this one." Yu Qin walked past the kids and took out a two-finger-thick grey sheepskin scroll from the bookshelf against the wall. "Catch it!"

Yu Qin didn't care whether Li Mu was ready or not. She casually threw the sheepskin scroll away as if she was throwing a fruit casually, as if she didn't care at all.

"What?" Li Mu was looking around and didn't notice Yu Qin's movements. Just as she turned around, she saw an unknown object rapidly growing bigger. Soon, she felt a sharp pain in her nose and tears and snot couldn't help but spurt out.

Li Mu knelt on the ground and rubbed his red nose as he shouted to Yu Qin who was in mid air, "What!? "I'm in so much pain, did you do it on purpose? How did you manage to smash my nose?"

"Stop arguing! The library is not allowed to make a ruckus. " Yu Qin turned her head and said in a low voice.

The children at the side sized up the insensible Li Mu with a disdainful gaze.

Li Mu's face turned completely red. Being looked down upon by a group of children that were not even ten years old, his world completely collapsed.

He continued to squat on the ground, his face full of frustration as he drew circles, "I didn't do it on purpose, I was wrong, alright? Can you not look at me like that? "

Lil 'Ye hurriedly picked up the grey scroll and presented it to Li Mu like it was a treasure, "Big brother Lan, don't be sad. It's normal for you to not understand the rules when you just arrived. The technique big sister Yu Qin chose was indeed very good. Here, take it. "

Seeing Lil 'Ye's fervent gaze, Li Mu was very touched. She reached out to grab the sheepskin scroll, "Lil' Ye is still the best. Big brother will give you something nice to eat when we get back."

Lil 'Ye smiled, "Don't regret it, lying is just a puppy."

Li Mu sat cross-legged and carefully unfolded the sheepskin scroll. "Don't worry, your Big Brother Lan has a lot of credibility. I won't lie to you."

When Li Mu saw the item on the sheepskin scroll, he was completely dumbfounded. "Yu Qin, this …"

Yu Qin put the book back in its original place and slowly landed in front of Li Mu. "What happened?"

"What are the words on this thing?" Looking at those words, Li Mu felt very puzzled and excited.

Yu Qin patted the back of her head, and suddenly realized something. "I forgot, this is written in ancient language. Normal people wouldn't understand it. Let me find a book written in modern Chinese for you!"

"I don't think so. I should be able to understand it." On the goatskin scroll, two big Chinese characters, Spirit Gathering, caught Li Mu's heart.

"It's good that you can read it, you can do it yourself. I'll go find some good books to read." Yu Qin dashingly left Li Mu behind and leisurely flew towards the depths of the library.

"Concentrate your mind and forget about all sorts of things." "To use one's heart to comprehend, to use one's body to gather spirit …" He looked at the silver square character on the sheepskin scroll seriously. He recognized each of the words, but when they were combined together, Li Mu was completely broken. What and what was this? It was even harder to understand than text.

Li Mu raised his head and scanned his surroundings. He noticed that the children were gathered in groups of twos and threes. A few of them had crossed their legs and emitted a faint glow. They were probably cultivating.

Li Mu scratched his head in frustration, at a loss of what to do. Ye Zichen walked over to Lil 'Ye with a smile, "My dear Lil' Ye, how does one cultivate?" Fortunately, Li Mu wasn't afraid of losing face and knew how to ask. An average person wouldn't be able to bring down their pride and ask a five-year-old for guidance.

Lil 'Ye looked up, and her big, watery eyes were filled with confusion, "Isn't it written in the book?"

"I don't understand." Li Mu gave a straightforward answer.

"You don't know the words?" Lil 'Ye's little head really could not understand why people could not understand something so simple.

"I recognize every word, but when they're mixed together, I don't understand it at all." Li Mu felt helpless. Who could understand such a chaotic thing!?

Lil 'Ye closed the book in her hands, sighed lightly, and said in an experienced manner, "Young people these days! "If you don't understand these things, bring a book."

Lil 'Ye picked up the sheepskin scroll and slowly unfolded it, then she sighed.

Li Mu picked up Lil 'Ye and found a corner where there was no one to sit at, "Dear Teacher Lil' Ye, may I ask how I can start?" Hearing Li Mu call her a teacher, Lil 'Ye was so happy that her mouth could not even close, "Then let's begin."

"First, you have to arrange yourself in a suitable position, just like me, with your legs crossed and your body straightened, with your hands on your knees, facing forward, and your eyes lightly closed." Lil 'Ye gestured a posture similar to a Chinese Taoist meditating. She closed her eyes, and gradually, traces of faint red streams of air appeared beside Lil' Ye. At this moment, Lil 'Ye stopped talking.

Li Mu was stupefied. He didn't expect it to be this way. After a while, Li Mu thought of what Lil 'Ye had yet to say.

Li Mu hesitated on whether to wake up Lil 'Ye. Just as the words were about to leave his mouth, Fourth Elder's duck voice rang in his ears, "Don't touch Lil' Ye, he just entered the peephole. The so-called peephole is to carefully feel the spirit energy around one's body, to feel their happiness, anger, and sorrow, and to integrate with them, to obtain their recognition, and to build up a friendship with them. The most important thing is to treat them as friends. "

Li Mu turned around but didn't see Fourth Elder. However, these words weren't meant for Li Mu alone. Many children were lost in thought. Soon, a little girl put down her book and sat cross-legged to cultivate. Slowly, a faint green light began to emerge from her body.

Soon, all the children were in a state of cultivation. Their bodies began to show different colors and depths of fog or air currents.

Li Mu sat at the side and watched eagerly. She took a deep breath and leaned against the wall, imitating Lil 'Ye and began to meditate.

The Fourth Elder was sitting at a distant cave entrance, reading an old book. A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Spiritual force!" Spiritual force! Where are you? This little brother truly wants to come under your tutelage. Please grant me unparalleled power. In the next life, I'll be able to do whatever I want with my life. " Li Mu was unable to calm down as he leaned against the wall to meditate. His mind was filled with wild thoughts and wild thoughts.

After a short moment, Li Mu fell asleep ….

"Children, it is already dark, time to go home. But remember to say goodbye to your friend. " The Fourth Elder's voice resounded in the children's minds. The children reluctantly ended their training, and they began to excitedly discuss with their companions.
