In the past few days, most of the students in the academy have gradually discovered that there is a new secretary in the library, named Xuanji.
It is said that the original Secretary Yu, because he felt that the world was very big, had the idea of going out to see it, and did not want to be trapped in a corner anymore, so he resigned and left.
Some people felt it was a pity, but more people were secretly happy.
There is no way, mainly because the new Secretary Xuan is so temperamental, like a person who came out of ink paintings.
Her speaking voice is also very gentle and pleasant, and as long as you briefly describe to her what kind of book you want, she can quickly help you find it even if you don't know the title.
So all of a sudden, many more students came to the library to borrow books.
Some people even clearly don't want to read a book, but they still use the excuse of looking for a book to have a few words with Secretary Xuan.
Unfortunately, they soon discovered that although Secretary Xuan was gentle, he was not easy to get close to.
The questions she answered were basically limited to books. If anyone wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about her life story, she would refuse them without exception. No one who wanted to ask her out to eat or watch a movie had ever succeeded.
No, there are exceptions. For example, the guy named Lu Jing seems to be very familiar with her, and I don't know if they have known each other before.
Anyway, every time Lu Jing comes to the library, Xuanji will temporarily put down what she is doing and take the initiative to say hello to Lu Jing, and sometimes the two of them will have lunch together.
Although he only ate the food from the food box that Lu Jing brought and did not leave the library, he still made many people envious.
Later, Xia Huai also joined in.
Naturally, the girl had heard some rumors about Lu Jing and Secretary Xuan during this period, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
It happened that she was also sent here by the Huang Prison to help organize the book collection, so she used this excuse to come to the library and wanted to meet Secretary Xuan.
However, Xia Huai did not come with Lu Jing at the beginning, but chose a time when Lu Jing was not around.
She herself couldn't tell why she did this. She only vaguely felt that her behavior was a bit like running outside someone's house before a big battle and using the courtyard wall to spy on the enemy.
Therefore, Xia Huai was quite uneasy and a little wary when he went there, but after meeting Xuanji and getting along with her for a while, the previous wariness and wariness quickly disappeared.
Xia Huai even forgot the purpose of coming here. He just chatted with Xuanji enthusiastically about the story books he had read, and then talked about some of the most popular poetry collections nowadays.
The girl was born into a family of officials and had read a lot of poems and articles. However, after Naihe joined the Xijian Pavilion, most of the people around her were obsessed with martial arts, so it was not easy to find someone with whom she shared a common language.
When it comes to the academy, it's a similar situation, except that everyone's obsession has changed from martial arts to secret power. The only one who doesn't practice secret power, Lu Jing, doesn't seem to be too interested in poetry and articles.
Therefore, it was rare for Xia Huai to meet someone with whom she could chat so well. Her impression of Xuanji became much better and she was already thinking about inviting her to hang out in the bookstore.
Before leaving, Xuanji also gave her a book. Xia Huai looked through it and found that it was a love story from the previous dynasty, telling the story of a pair of martial arts knights who fought together to the end of the world.
Xia Huai seemed to have thought of something after receiving the script, and her face turned red.
Xuanji on the other side suddenly took off the deerskin glove on her right hand, revealing the empty wrist underneath.
"Sister Xuan, you..." Xia Huai let out a soft cry, but soon her eyes were attracted by the ink color on Xuanji's wrist.
Xuanji smiled slightly, but she already put on the glove again, "This is a secret between us, please don't tell others."
"Are you the person in the book?" Xia Huai quickly responded.
She has also heard about the function of the strange thing in the library. It is said that it can not only help people who come to the library to borrow books quickly get the books they want, but can also make the characters in the books come alive.
Xia Huai just didn't expect that the Xuanji in front of her actually came from the book.
During the time the two of them got together, she could not feel anything strange about Xuanji. In fact, if the latter did not take off the glove, she would not associate Xuanji with the person in the book at all.
Because Xuanji gave her the feeling that she was a living person.
Xuanji nodded, "Young Master Guo took a fancy to my photographic memory, so he asked me to manage the library. Oh, by the way, Mr. Lu also knows about this because he was there that day."
"No...no, that's not what I meant." Xia Huai stammered.
"I didn't say anything, I just told you by the way." Xuanji smiled.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Xia Huai did feel relieved when he heard Xuanji's words.
Then Xuanji said again, "You can come with him next time."
"Um...Okay." The girl responded softly.
So the storm subsided into silence before it even started to stir up.
Lu Jing, who was the center of attention, didn't even feel anything unusual until Xia Huai came to him and asked him to go to the library to sort out the books. Lu Jing simply agreed without thinking much about it.
Then, while the three of them were chatting, Xia Huai talked about the progress of the secret power cultivation of the students in the academy.
It has been almost two months since the academy started classes. Except for Lu Jing, all the freshmen of this class have crossed the threshold of secret power cultivation and begun to build their foundation.
The so-called foundation building means building a foundation.
Different from those cultivators that Lu Jing had seen before, the speed of foundation building practice in the academy is exactly the same from person to person. From the day when foundation building begins, it will take hundreds of days to complete the foundation building.
However, the effects of foundation building are not the same, and can even be said to be vastly different.
Generally speaking, this is a bit like a twelve-minute run. The time is set, but how far you can run in the end depends on each person's talent and qualifications.
For those who build the foundation well, most of their future practice will be smooth. However, if the foundation is not strong enough, it is conceivable that it will be very difficult to build a building upwards.
Therefore, everyone in the academy now attaches great importance to foundation building. Many people not only complete their daily homework on time, but are also working hard to find elixirs and methods that can help build foundation.
Of course, Lu Jing, an outsider, didn't know these things. He didn't even know what foundation building was, and he didn't want to know. He just heard Xia Huai talk about foundation building, and he suddenly became interested.
"You said... if the Dao foundation is damaged when building the foundation, it will completely ruin the practice?"
