Xu Zhi'an had completely woken up, but looking at Doctor Mo's expression, he didn't seem to have seen through him. After a slight thought, he calmly told his experience, telling everything about Duijin Country and his origins one by one. The only thing he could hide was What rises is the inheritance of the Heaven-Stepping Technique.
Doctor Mo was silent for a long time after hearing this. An indescribable look flashed in his eyes. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "This domain is called Dibei, and it is separated from Tiannan by the Sumeru Sea. The vastness of that sea can only be determined by human power." It’s too late, I’m afraid you won’t be able to go back.”
Xu Zhi'an's face changed slightly when he heard this, but it was difficult to accept this fact in his heart. He had thought about various possibilities, but he did not expect such a result.
Doctor Mo watched his expression change and said again: "It may not be all hopeless. After all, what I just said is only recorded in ancient books. Those ancient books are very old and may not be very accurate. Besides, I have a method that may be able to help you."
Xu Zhi'an's eyes lit up, and he raised his head to Doctor Mo in hope: "Is what Doctor Mo said true?"
Doctor Mo remained silent, then took out another thick stack of books from the bookshelf behind him, placed it on the table, and said, "The book has its own rules."
As soon as Xu Zhi'an saw this stack of books, he suddenly felt dizzy, thinking about everything last night. Although he finally entered that strange state and completely memorized "Compendium of Materia Medica", the feeling of tearing in his mind during the process of absorbing knowledge was not the same. It's a very good experience, and I feel a little scared, but if this is the only hope, I have to persevere no matter what.
Xu Zhi'an's eyes gradually became firm, but something suddenly occurred to him, and he cautiously asked Doctor Mo: "Doctor Mo, I'm ready. Your exam today can start at any time."
"No need. I can tell by looking at your complexion that you have mastered everything and can even communicate with heaven and earth. Although I don't know how you do it, maybe it's because of your extraordinary talent or various adventures, but it doesn't matter." Doctor Mo paused and looked at him. Then he looked at Xu Zhi'an and said seriously: "From today on, you are the disciple I accepted three years ago."
"Yes, Doctor Mo...Master, my disciple Xu Zhi'an pays homage to Master." Xu Zhi'an hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Doctor Mo.
Doctor Mo was neither happy nor sad, and his expression was calm, as if everything was as he expected. He calmly took out another book, put it on the top of the books on the table, and said: "This is "Dibei Zhi", you take it and study it first. What I just said comes from this book, and the other volumes also come from this book." Take them all, and come to me to get them after you have read them all.”
When Xu Zhi'an heard this, he was startled. The hill-like pile of books in front of him was not all there. He didn't know whether he was happy or sad, so he had to get up first, pick up the pile of books, and move to his room.
Doctor Mo's eyes were deep and he said calmly: "Breaking away from Taoism means that you have achieved spiritual consciousness. There are methods of absorbing qi in those books, which can help you enter the realm of qi refining. Please do it as soon as possible. Don't keep me waiting."
Xu Zhi'an's head was shaken. It turned out that Doctor Mo had already seen through it. He couldn't help but feel a little more in awe of his mysterious master. As expected, no immortal cultivator is a simple person.
Xu Zhian returned to the room and put the books on the table, but his heart could not be calm for a long time.
He took a deep breath, opened "Dibei Zhi" and started reading. The content in the book opened his eyes. It turned out that the Northern Territory was also vast, and the Bihai Village where he was now was just a drop in the ocean.
The book records that there are three big countries in the Northern Territory, each of which spans tens of thousands of miles. Although their territories are not bordering each other, they are hostile to each other, and they have been in a stalemate for countless years. There are countless empty areas between the three big countries, and there are thousands of small countries. The smallest small country is ten times the size of Duojin Kingdom, and there are also many mysterious and unknown places, which are said to be the residences of immortals.
Unfortunately, there are only a few words about the Sumeru Sea across from Tiannan, and there is not much description. It is said that this sea is so vast that it is difficult to reach the end in a lifetime. As for the Tiannan Territory, the records are even pitifully sparse. There was only one sentence: "At the end of the Sumeru Sea there is a domain called Tiannan." However, this did not discourage him, but instead strengthened his determination.
Xu Zhi'an secretly vowed to find a way back to Tiannan. No matter how difficult the journey was, he would never give up.
Just as he was immersed in the sea of books, there was a sudden knock on the door. He put down the book, opened the door and saw that it was A Niu.
He held a plate of food in his hand and said with a naive smile: "Master said that you need to study these books carefully, little senior brother, so he asked me to bring the food."
Xu Zhian took the food and put it on the table in the room, but saw A Niu squirming but not leaving, as if he had something to say to himself.
Xu Zhi'an felt moved, and asked A Niu to sit down, while he poured another cup of tea. A Niu seemed to be very nervous, the hand holding the tea cup was trembling slightly, his eyes were wandering around, and he did not dare to look directly at Xu Zhian.
Xu Zhi'an asked gently: "Aniu, what do you need me to do?"
A Niu hesitated for a moment, then finally plucked up the courage and whispered: "Little senior brother, can you...can you teach me how to read?"
Xu Zhian was stunned for a moment. He did not expect A Niu to make such a request. He looked at the honest and honest big man in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little funny, so he asked: "Didn't the master teach you?"
A Niu looked gloomy for a moment and said hesitantly: "Master only asked me to take medicine and never let me read books."
Xu Zhi'an was silent for a moment. Regarding A Niu's life experience, he had already learned during yesterday's exchange that Xu Zhi'an still admired this "junior brother" who was three years older than him and was full of enthusiasm and kindness. Now that he saw him respect him If the godly Doctor Mo treats me differently, I guess he feels disappointed in his heart.
Xu Zhi'an sighed, and then said: "Aniu, if you want to learn to read, then learn it. From today on, I will be your enlightenment master."
When A Niu heard this, he suddenly smiled and said excitedly: "Thank you, little senior brother."
Xu Zhi'an smiled slightly and began to teach A Niu how to read. He started from the most basic strokes and taught Aniu how to read and write word by word. He found that although Aniu was not very talented, he was very studious and his eyes revealed his desire for knowledge. With this attitude, literacy was just a matter of time and effort.
But soon, Xu Zhian couldn't laugh anymore, and finally understood why Doctor Mo didn't teach A Niu how to read.
During this period, A Niu would find time to learn literacy from him every day, but the final result really surprised Xu Zhian.
Every time A Niu remembered all the words on that day, he would forget them all by the next day. It has been almost a month and he was still lingering on the first few words.
All this made Xu Zhi'an feel dizzy, but every time he was about to get angry, he saw A Niu's aggrieved eyes again, and he began to feel unbearable, and then repeated this process.
