Seeing the man's sudden change of attitude and turning away after seeing the note, everyone present was a little surprised.
Although the people on the island are very polite to outsiders who come to visit, they obviously don't believe that there are any books outside that do not exist on Nanyang Island.
Therefore, in terms of books, reviewers are still very proud in their hearts.
But I didn't expect that just after seeing the note written by Ji Qinglin, I immediately became serious and nervous, and went back to report.
Chi Ye whispered:
"Mr. Zhang, what did you write to him?"
Ji Qinglin shrugged and said:
"Nothing, some books I've read."
"That's it? Just the books you've read? Do they take it that seriously?"
Ji Qinglin made a silent gesture and said:
"Don't worry, let's see what the result is first."
Upon seeing this, Nangong Qianfeng was also a little curious about Zhang Mazi, who was hired by Yuye.
It was really unbelievable that a swordsman who was wandering around could be surprised by the books he had read in Nanyang Island where there was a book sage. I secretly guessed that this person might not be as simple as he seemed.
Yu Ye, Chi Ye and Jiang Chen all looked at the master with suspicious expressions, wondering how many more tricks the master had hidden?
It seems that not only is he different in terms of cultivation, but also reading books is different. I am afraid that those pornographic books he usually reads are just a disguise or a pastime.
Or are you just learning it for them to use?
Of course, what Ji Qinglin wrote was the title of some books from the old era where he lived.
This was also the revelation given to him by Corpse Hero Yan Tong.
He was able to find old-era books from the tombs and successfully landed on the island, and established such friendly relations with the people here.
This shows that books from the old era are also quite scarce in Nanyang Island.
Of course, this move of his is a bit risky. After all, he has read so many books from the old era, and the island owner may very well doubt his identity.
If he was a book addict, he might actually let himself stay and complete the books he hadn't read.
But compared with those, landing on the island is more important.
Moreover, these guys completely treat the people who sent the books as tourists. If they want to seek medical advice, they may not get an answer.
In this case, why not just say that you have read so many books and show your value first, so that the other party will help save your life.
Although it is risky, it is currently the wisest choice.
The only thing that's not very safe is that I don't have a ready-made book on hand. I don't know if the island owner can believe it based on his sharp tongue.
Just as he was thinking about it, the man reviewing the book came back with a new note.
He handed the note to Ji Qinglin mysteriously and said:
"Please answer the questions above. We need to verify after you answer them."
Ji Qinglin was happy when he opened the note.
There are two short questions written above, which are about two of the old-era books I have read before.
First, what is the ending of "Alive"?
Second, who is the commander of ETO in "Three Body"?
Of course, it is not a problem for those who have read the book. Ji Qinglin is glad that the other party only asked these two questions and did not let himself write these two books silently.
"The rich man who had everyone around him dead bought an old cow that was going to be killed; Ye Wenjie."
Anyone who passes this note into their hands will probably not understand what it means.
Ji Qinglin handed the note back, and the man took it away again, and ran back after a while.
"Okay, I haven't asked you yet what to call me?"
"Zhang Mazi."
"Mr. Zhang, I have reported the situation on your side in Sinking Shuyuan. The island owner said that you can take your friends to the island, but you are not allowed to run around and you must follow the arrangements and instructions."
"No problem, thank you very much."
Everyone else present also widened their eyes when they heard this. They had been nervous all night to land on the island, but Zhang Mazi was able to do it with just a note? This is really surprising.
Nangong Qianfeng said in confusion:
"Mr. Zhang's wide range of reading is really impressive."
"It's just good luck."
Uncle Mo smiled and said:
"I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to buy a ticket and visit Nanyang Island in my lifetime. It's a shame that I didn't come!"
Ji Qinglin also took back the "Mini Picture Book of Yin-Yang Cultivation Postures".
Now that the tickets have been secured, there is no need to lose another book. This book was taken away by Nangong Qianfeng before he finished it.
However, Ji Qinglin still pretended to take it back and handed it back to Nangong Qianfeng and said:
"Miss Qianfeng, your book."
"It belongs to Ji Qinglin! Just leave it to Yuye."
Shen Shuyuan handed the tourist badges to Ji Qinglin and others, one for each person.
Anyway, they agreed that these people should go in together, so the coal boss also had a piece of cake hanging around his neck.
After exiting the VIP room, pass by the promenade and take the bus at the back into the city.
When passing by the corridor, there was a long queue of people waiting for review. They were all surprised when they saw that seven or eight people had passed.
"What's going on? Is this a donation to a library?"
"A tomb robber, right? I heard there are old books in the tomb."
"Damn it, how many fucking tombs did this guy have to rob?"
Uncle Mo simply arranged for the merchant ships to dock at the port after unloading their cargo.
After getting on the bus, Shen Shuyuan acted as a tour guide and said enthusiastically:
"I will accompany you on the rest of your trip. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."
Ji Qinglin pushed up his mask and asked:
"Why does Nanyang Island adopt this special method of exchanging books for tickets?"
"Because the island owner originally used this island as a tomb for books. Since it is a tomb, naturally he didn't want to make it too lively. However, later on, the owner of the island gradually took in some people who fled from all sides, and those who came with them There were also disasters, and many people disguised themselves as refugees and came to the island to take revenge.
In order to cut off this cause and effect, the island owner stipulated that people who land on the island are not allowed to leave the island, and outsiders are not allowed to come up to cause trouble. Everyone else who wants to go to the island will bring a risk to the book grave on the island. Therefore, the island owner also needs everyone in Songdao to contribute to this book grave, and this is why the rule of exchanging books for tickets was introduced. "
Yu Ye asked:
"Is it because you, the island owner, spent so much effort building a book grave because you love books?"
"Not only does he love books, the island owner also leaves these books for future generations. In fact, we also have many electronic versions, but the island owner feels that the paper version should be handed down to the future."
"So, your island owner is really well-organized. Is he really the legendary book sage Zhang Huaisu?"
"Exactly, we are about to enter the city ahead. Most of the people in this city come from outside to live in seclusion, so naturally we don't want too many outsiders to come in and disturb us."
Although the city is not as prosperous as Bangkok, it is quite well built. There are not many people on the road, and the streets look quite comfortable, giving it a feeling of a modern paradise.
Chiye said curiously:
"Since there is less contact with outsiders, where does the money on the island come from?"
"It's just that there is no human contact, the Internet is still connected, and there are still a lot of talents who come to the island to escape from the world. Making money by relying on the resources of Nanyang Island is not a problem. Aren't you Sihai Business a good trading partner?"
After chatting for a while, Ji Qinglin asked the real question:
"Our trip is not only for visiting, but also to ask for help from the Master of the Book Saint Island."
Because Nangong Qianfeng was also in the car, Ji Qinglin did not explain the specific situation clearly.
"You can talk to the island owner if you have anything to do. Except for the island owner related to the book who is more paranoid, the other island owners are still easy to talk to."
The car kept moving forward, passing through the ring-shaped city circle that was still relatively prosperous. Overall, it looked similar to the deserted streets of Xindong Street.
A circular giant sequoia forest appeared in the back and front. This huge green belt seemed to isolate the inside and outside.
Inside, there are more than a dozen tall light cyan buildings arranged in a shape similar to Stonehenge. The buildings are brightly lit and the bookshelves inside can be seen.
This was the first time Ji Qinglin had seen a library of this size. Even in the old days, he had never seen such an exaggerated one.
Uncle Mo looked around and smiled:
"This place is really nice. If you are someone who likes tranquility and loves books, there is no better place to retire here and live your life."
Shen Shuyuan replied:
"Sir, that's what you said, but if you want to go to the island to live in seclusion, you need to submit it for review in advance. The second island owner will review it."
"Is there another island owner on your island?"
"Yes, because the island owner is too lazy to take care of things other than books."
The bus continued forward until it reached the center of "Stonehenge". Here stood a huge stone monument with the inscription "Book Tomb" in cursive script. Behind it was a slightly smaller building with the overall shape of an open book.
Shen Shuyuan got out of the car and hesitated:
"This is it, but the island owner doesn't accept guests easily, there are so many of you."
Nangong Qianfeng had no interest in this calligrapher and suggested:
"Yu Ye, you guys go ahead, we'll wait for you inside."
"Okay, then later on, Senior Sister, Chi Ye and Mr. Zhang, the four of us will go in to visit."
Shen Shuyuan opened the door and said:
"Then please four of you to come with me. Several other friends will take a seat in the building. There are some unique books collected here. If you are interested, you can browse at will."
After saying that, he led the way and led Ji Qinglin and the four of them down the stairs from the panel area towards the underground.
Entering the empty cubicle on the second floor of the basement, you can vaguely see an intellectual woman wearing black-rimmed glasses sitting behind the desk. Her long hair is tied back by a wooden hairpin, her chin is lightly resting on her palm, and she is turning a page with her other hand. Book, if it weren't for the black and white Taoist robe Ji Qinglin was wearing, he would have thought he was sitting there with a teacher.
It is very different from Ji Qinglin's imagination of the book sage Zhang Huaisu with golden light all over his body.
"Island owner, Mr. Zhang has already been invited."
The woman in Taoist robes stood up, pushed up her glasses and looked up:
"Oh? Really? There are several others here, I don't know which one is Zhang."
Halfway through the words, the intellectual woman in Taoist robes was stunned when she looked at Ji Qinglin who was wearing a mask.
"Old Shen, you have nothing to do here. Go greet the guests outside."
"yes!"
As soon as Shen Shuyuan left, the Taoist-robed woman smiled and asked:
"Sir, do you still remember me?"
Before the confused Ji Qinglin could reply, Chi Ye behind him whispered:
"It's over, it's over, don't be Master's apprentice again, right? Senior sister, your position is about to be lost."
Thank you for your reading and support! (Ji Qinglin: Is the Book Sage a fan of the Three-Body Problem? It’s easy to handle!)
