As soon as he stepped onto the first step of the four-story staircase, a voice came from behind Gu Xiaotian: "No one has come to this fourth floor for a long time. Whose award have you received?"
Gu Xiaotian turned his head hurriedly and saw that the old man with the goatee was still dozing off and his eyes had not been opened, but there was no one else except him. 1
The old man with the goatee closed his eyes and suddenly pointed his hand at Gu Xiaotian, "I'm asking you a question!"
Gu Xiaotian was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands and said, "Senior, I am Gu Xiaotian. I am here to look for Duan Peng."
The old man with the goatee suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the cushion, trotted out from behind the table, and looked at the young man in front of him.
Suddenly, the old man with the goatee stretched out a palm, and Gu Xiaotian instinctively raised his arm.
For Gu Xiaotian, this palm was not as powerful as a mosquito bite, and he didn't understand what kind of madness this old man with a goatee had.
The old man with the goatee said with a smile: "It seems that you are really Gu Xiaotian. I have heard about your natural hegemony for a long time, but I was surprised when I saw it today."
After all, it was in Taibai. Gu Xiaotian couldn't get angry at an elder, so he smiled and replied: "Senior, can I go up to Duan Peng now?"
The old man with the goatee walked back again, sat down on the mat, and waved his hand, "Go, that kid is here. As for which horn Gada he is hiding in, you can go find it yourself. You really can't yell." After that, he closed his eyes again, moved his head up and down, and fell asleep quickly.
Gu Xiaotian secretly said: "It's weird old man." Then he continued to go up.
When it arrived, Gu Xiaocai reacted, and all the previous doubts disappeared.
He originally thought that there would be a large collection of books in the Library Pavilion, but when he walked up to the fourth floor, there were only a few books, and he didn't even see a decent bookshelf.
He also wondered that instead of calling it the Library, it would be more appropriate to call it a small commodity market.
But there is something special about this place. The tall bookshelves take up the whole place, leaving only an aisle for walking, and the bookshelves are filled with books.
Gu Xiaotian walked straight along the aisle and turned two more corners along the way before he discovered Duan Peng.
Duan Peng was sitting in front of a chess table at this time, holding a chess book in his hand. After reading for a long time, he took out a chess piece from the chess box and slowly placed it on it. Then, he stared at the chessboard on the chess table for a long time, then picked up the brush beside the chess table, wrote something on the chess score, and moved the chess piece away.
Gu Xiaotian couldn't bear to disturb Duan Peng who was so focused, so he quietly walked around behind Duan Peng and quietly watched Duan Peng lay out the chess records.
This swing lasts for two hours.
Gu Xiaotian was still somewhat interested in watching it. Although he was not very good at Go, he still knew a little bit about it. But this chess record was obviously not something he could understand with his chess skills, so when Duan Peng made many moves that did not follow the corners on the chess record, but instead pursued external positions, and lost several moves, he was a little confused. .
Gu Xiaotian rubbed his sore eyes, and his arm accidentally hit the window behind him, making a muffled sound.
Duan Peng also heard the sound, slowly put down the chess book, turned his head and saw Gu Xiaotian behind him.
Gu Xiaotian scratched his head in embarrassment and said hello awkwardly.
Duan Peng didn't care. He smiled and got up and went to pour a cup of hot tea for Gu Xiaotian and put it next to the chess table. "You drink the tea first. The chess game is almost over."
Gu Xiaotian held up the hot tea and drank a few sips as if nothing had happened.
He didn't plan to continue reading this chess game, he could only wait until Duan Peng finished playing.
After a while, Duan Peng put away the chess record and silently placed all the chess pieces in the chess house. 1
Gu Xiaotian helped them clean up and asked, "Have you finished reading "Murong Jiazi Lu"?"
Duan Peng's hand paused, then he picked up the chess book and said, "There are too many in that book that I can't understand. After thinking about it, I probably can't really calm down my heart, so I'll read the chess book first and let my mind wander. Be calmer."
Gu Xiaotian said oh and didn't ask any more questions.
After clearing the chessboard, Duan Peng asked: "It's so boring to stay on Wuhen Cliff. Come to this library to find me for some fun?"
Gu Xiaotian did have this intention and nodded without hiding it from Duan Peng.
Duan Peng
He stood up, rummaged around on the bookshelf, and put the chess record back, "Then you should go find Shengjie. You came to me but you came to the wrong person. Tell me your true purpose."
In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that any fun-seeking was just talk. Even if Gu Xiaotian was being stupid, he knew who to look for when looking for fun.
Gu Xiaotian was no longer hiding anything and asked: "Duan Peng, do you know those senior brothers and sisters who go down to work?"
In Taibai, the term "going down the mountain to do things" is relatively general.
Among this group of people who go down to work, there are those who help the common people to defeat the mountain bandits. The martial arts realm of those mountain bandits is just at the beginning, and their strength is only in the early stages of the strong and advantageous realm. This is something that ordinary disciples can handle. Of course, By helping with these things, they can obtain some resources that will help their cultivation.
Another group of top elite disciples did something different. They went down the mountain to attack the All Martial Arts Association.
Although the Quanwuhui is still hiding in Tibet, there are very few clues about the traces of the Quanwuhui, and the information known is only the statistics compiled by the Tiandi Alliance thirteen years ago.
Not only did they attack the All-Martial Arts Association, they also went to find the All-Martial Arts Association's home base.
Duan Peng sat down, patted his sleeves and said, "It's natural to know if you know. I think what you should be asking is also the group of people who went to attack the All Martial Arts Association?"
Gu Xiaotian looked directly at Duan Peng and gave a thumbs up, "Nothing can escape your Duan Peng's eyes. In this world, you say you are the second person in the world who understands my thoughts. No one dares to claim that." First."
Duan Peng took a few sips of hot tea and said, "Stop saying these polite words. You want to know where these people are going to attack the All-Martial Arts Association, right?"
Gu Xiaotian nodded like a chicken.
However, Duan Peng frowned, and then said: "It is not so much a crusade against the All Martial Arts Association, but a search for the All Martial Arts Association. Take my Yubaofeng as an example, since the search for traces of the All Martial Arts Association, there have been fourteen people The disciples who swept the pavilion went down the mountain, but only four came back."
"All dead?!" Gu Xiaotian said in surprise.
Duan Peng glanced at Gu Xiaotian's face and said, "I don't know if he is dead or not, but he has lost all traces."
Among them, it was claimed that he died at the foot of the mountain. For this reason, a special hero's grave was set up in Taibai Mountain, where these missing disciples were naturally buried.
But the news from the highest-level disciples of Gu Taibai was that some of these people did die in battle, but some others were recruited by the All-Martial Arts Association.
In order to stabilize the whole of Taibai, all the disciples who declared to the outside world died heroically.
Gu Xiaotian is not a confused person, he can naturally understand what Duan Peng means.
The two changed the subject and chatted for a long time until the sun went down.
In this library, Duan Peng was actually served by someone when he ate. But Duan Peng has been staying in the library attic since he came back from Ouju Haishan. Gu Xiaotian rarely came here today, and Duan Peng also took this opportunity to go outside for a walk.
The two of them walked towards the stairs and saw the old man with the goatee taking a nap on the cushion.
Gu Xiaotian whispered: "Where does this old man come from? He slapped me when I came up just now. It wasn't painful or itchy."
Duan Peng replied: "This is the Pavilion Master of the Library Pavilion, Hu Jishu. I slapped you because he must also want to know your natural hegemony strength."
Then, Duan Peng raised the corners of his mouth.
It was rare for Gu Xiaotian to see Duan Peng smiling mysteriously like this, and he immediately didn't understand.
The two of them walked out of the library pavilion and went to the main hall of Yubaofeng.
In the main hall of Yubaofeng, Meng Jingshi was playing with a crystal ball. Judging from his expression, he knew that this crystal ball must be very precious.
Duan Peng slowly stepped into the hall. Meng Jingshi suddenly hid the crystal ball behind him as if he was facing a formidable enemy. It wasn't until he saw that the person coming was Duan Peng that he relaxed slightly and took out the crystal ball from his back again to play with.
Gu Xiaotian watched outside for a while, then slowly entered the main hall. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Master Meng, please excuse me."
Peak Master Meng was so frightened when he heard Gu Xiaotian's voice that the crystal ball almost fell out of his hand and shattered into pieces.
Fortunately, Meng Jingshi had a steady hand and was able to keep the crystal ball intact.
This is the old man Meng Jingshi
With his character, any good treasures he has are always hidden and tucked away. He cannot let outsiders see them. He can only treat his apprentices better.
Gu Xiaotian was also very curious about Meng Jingshi's crystal ball, so he smiled and said, "Master Meng, is this crystal ball expensive?"
Meng Jingshi waved his hand and said perfunctorily: "No, these are just gadgets bought from the market down the mountain. They are worthless."
Gu Xiaotian is also a good person. He immediately said "Oh?" and then said flatteringly: "Then this crystal ball is not worth a lot of money. Can Master Meng do a favor and give it to my master when I go back?"
Gu Xiaotian has another purpose for coming to Yubaofeng this time. Since he entered Taibai, he has never given any good things to his master. This time when he came to Yubaofeng, he adhered to the principle of not stealing away. He was somewhat interested in taking a few treasures back from Yubaofeng and finding an opportunity to give them to Yun Hanxing and Ye Wuhen, and to teach them more. Two moves of his own.
The purpose is also very simple, so that my strength can improve quickly.
Naturally, he also wanted to share some of his efforts with his senior sister and senior brother.
What's more, he still has an appointment with Murong Yunmiao, and coupled with his hatred for Bai Jing, he will definitely avenge Li Mu!
To put it more closely, the Spring Festival is almost here, and Gu Xiaotian wants to take advantage of it to secretly practice a few moves before going home.
He didn't forget Peng Wen's words, "See you in Kyoto."
Going home for the holidays this time will inevitably lead to a bloody storm.
Meng Jingshi coughed loudly a few times. He didn't expect that Gu Xiaotian would not follow the routine, and he was a little embarrassed.
Logically speaking, Gu Xiaotian is indeed worthy of being called Senior Brother Gu to other disciples.
But to Meng Jingshi, Gu Xiaotian is just a junior. If he really doesn't want to give it away to him, is it possible that he can still snatch it away?
But that's where the difficulty lies. Gu Xiaotian's master is Ye Wuhen, who is the head of Taibai. In addition, Yun Hanxing also likes Gu Xiaotian very much, so he is half of Gu Xiaotian's master. No matter who these two people are, if Gu Xiaotian dares to go and complain, with Yun Hanxing's brute strength, he really dares to kill Yubaofeng to rob them.
But this crystal ball is a treasure, and it is full of true energy.
Not only can it improve your own vitality, but if you put it on your chest while sleeping, it can also help clear your meridians and heal some of the internal injuries that have been left behind.
Meng Jingshi was now riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he had no choice but to turn his attention to Duan Peng.
Duan Peng understood immediately, smiled and came to the rescue: "Xiaotian, this crystal ball is my master's treasure. Why don't you have dinner and I will take you to the treasure pavilion to choose a few pieces. You better not think about this crystal ball." ,how?"
Gu Xiaotian smiled and nodded, no matter what it was, as long as it was a treasure.
He doesn't pick.
