Chapter 103
Li An’s residence is not big, a simple house, but it is clean.
Especially three of the rooms are study rooms!
It is full of books Ang Lee bought from various sources.
Astronomy and geography, snakes, insects, birds and animals, alchemy, talisman and medicine… everything is there.
Moreover, although these books are very clean, they all look a bit worn out, obviously they have been carefully read.
Song Mingzhang picked up one or two books at random and looked through them carefully, only to see that Li Anjun made notes and sketches on the key points in the book.
These miscellaneous books are actually not important things for practitioners, the most important function is to increase knowledge!
But from Li An’s notes, Song Mingzhang could imagine that when Li An read it at his desk, his heart must be really immersed in the book, trickling slowly and never leaving the distance!
He put down the book in his hand, and then picked it up from other places casually.
But every book is the same!
Full of comments, notes.
“They are all superficial books, Zuo Wen’s shallow knowledge makes Master Song laugh…”
Li An spoke.
But in his heart, he was like a student who had done his homework extremely solidly. Facing the teacher’s inspection, he naturally didn’t panic at all.
In the past five years, while he has been concentrating on cultivation, he has indeed regarded reading as his main occupation!
Li An had reached the realm of alchemy in his previous life and had seen higher-level scenery. It can be said that his knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary people. Therefore, he can naturally read deeply and read different things.
Moreover, ever since his Lingtai was connected to the branch of the Life Seed, he has the ability of photographic memory.
This is why five years ago, he was able to finish reading both “Debate the Alchemy Essentials” and “Knowing the Grass Jue” in three days.
“Little friend reads profoundly, which makes the old man admire!”
Song Mingzhang opened his mouth, but even though he liked Li An more and more in his heart, he still smiled and said:
“Fellow Daoist Zuo, in this “On Formation”, your comment: ‘The formation is not the essence, the law is its outline’, it is difficult for the old man to understand…”
Exam!
Li Ang didn’t think about it: “This should be the discussion on the seventh page of No. 20. In fact, there is an explanation on the fifth page of No. 30…”
Song Mingzhang was surprised, turned to page 35, and it was exactly as Li An said.
He couldn’t help but nodded, completely relieved.
Li An is a person who really loves books and can read!
Moreover, the other party knows how to be grateful!
It was only three days of borrowing the book, but I could remember it in my heart, even after four or five years, I never forgot it.
This kind of gratitude is so rare in this intriguing world of cultivating immortals.
The thought in his heart became stronger and stronger, but he deliberately said: “Your Daoist Zuo really loves books, it’s just that these books… can’t help but feel sorry for You Daoist Zuo’s talent.”
“It’s all too shallow!”
He criticized without hesitation: “Most of the contents of these books are just generalizations. If you want to learn more advanced knowledge, you can’t rely on these books.”
Li An’s expression was also greatly moved, and he was heartbroken: “What the senior said is absolutely true!”
“In the past few years, Zuo Wen has suffered exactly like this. Every time the books circulated on the market are wrong and incomplete, the younger generation suffers from the disadvantages…”
Song Mingzhang smiled slightly, stroked his beard, Zuo Wen was such a book lover, it was really too easy for him to handle Zuo Wen, and continued: “There are three thousand books in the old man’s library, all of which are high-quality goods. Even if “Knowing the Grass Jue” and “Debate the Alchemy Essentials” are just ordinary books…”
Li Anxin yearned for it, and moved his mind: “Master Song… Will Zuo be lucky enough to come and see it?”
Cai Chao next to him couldn’t help but said: “The study is Master Song’s heart and soul… His old man has devoted his whole life to it. If he wants to study, fellow Taoist Zuo should be a disciple!”
There was also a smile in his eyes, he was deliberately mentioning Li An!
Cai Chao has already seen Song Mingzhang’s love for Li An.
Now he would like to point out Li An by the way. If Li An can successfully learn from Song Mingzhang, then he will have a good relationship in the future.
Song Mingzhang’s original intention was exactly the same. When Cai Chao said it, he was also quite happy. It would be best to let Cai Chao say it from the side.
But when he thought about it again, he felt something was wrong!
Li An is…too indifferent!
In the past five years, the other party only had side contact with him once, and never took the initiative to meet him. Song Mingzhang understood after thinking about it. In fact, this is just the conceit and etiquette of scholars.
The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between gentlemen should also be equal.
It can be seen that although Li An lives in a humble room, he is unwilling to be influenced by his secular status while studying.
Thinking of this, he felt that he should treat Li An slowly instead of hastily, so he said: “I can see Xiaoyou Zuo today, if I have a close friend, no matter these hypocrisy, just follow me—”
If it is someone else, the disciple’s gift is unavoidable.
Etiquette, to put it bluntly, is actually a kind of constraint.
But he feels that there is no need to have such constraints on Li An, because Li An knows gratitude and is not an ungrateful person.
Cai Chao was suddenly surprised. The implication of Song Mingzhang’s words was that he treated Li An’s peers.
To be favored by Song Mingzhang is already very rare, but to be able to receive such an honor… Li An is really No.1.
Li An couldn’t help being extremely grateful, “Senior is so kind… This junior will never forget it!”
In fact, if it is really necessary, he can accept the gift of being a disciple, and he will take the initiative to do it.
Although he used to be a master of alchemy, Li An has long given up that indifferent dignity, and will not be proud of his former status.
Because it’s useless!
To Li An, those things are also nothingness. Only the Dao of Longevity and continuous improvement are the most important.
Of course, Li An is also quite satisfied with this kind of treatment now.
His accumulation and waiting for the past five years was finally not wasted.
Immediately, Li An got into Song Mingzhang’s carriage and headed towards Song Mingzhang’s residence.
Cai Chao stood at the intersection and watched the two of them off.
“From today onwards, this unknown scholar on Anle Street, I am afraid that he will go straight to Qingyun…”
He couldn’t help feeling emotional.
……
Song Mingzhang lives in “Taihua Street”.
Taihua Street is next to “Wuyang Street”, but it is a “third-order” spirit vein area.
However, the spiritual vein here is also relatively weak.
He has a single-family courtyard. According to Li An’s knowledge, this single-family courtyard is extremely expensive.
It belongs to the private property of Zhenbao Pavilion, even if it is a treasure appraiser, it needs to work in the pavilion for more than ten years to get it, and once you leave Zhenbao Pavilion, this small courtyard will be taken back.
Song Mingzhang worked for Zhenbao Pavilion all his life, and his life expectancy was nearly three hundred years old. He didn’t have much time to live, so he didn’t worry about this issue.
The two talked all the way, almost all about books, and the more they talked, the happier they were.
Get out of the carriage and enter the courtyard.
The servant boy opened the door, Song Mingzhang led Li An in, entered the living room, and a maid served tea.
“Where’s An Ning? Let her come out to meet guests.”
Song Mingzhang waved his hand, and the servant girl left immediately.
Not long after, a girl in a green dress, Shi Shiran, came over. She was graceful and graceful, but she was wearing a veil, covering half of her face.
But even so, the remaining exposed half of the face still has many pitted and festering marks!
“An Ning, this is Mr. Zuo Wen who saved you from suffering,”
Song Mingzhang spoke.
Song Anning saluted Li An and said, “Thank you Mr. Zuo for saving your life!”
Li An hurriedly said: “Miss An Ning, please, don’t be too polite!”
After seeing the ceremony, Song Anning left without stopping.
“Come on, little friend, I’ll show you around my study.”
Song Mingzhang spoke directly, and the two immediately entered the study.
The study is far more spacious and bright than Li An’s simple study rooms. There are some calligraphy and paintings of famous masters hanging on the walls, and there are maids in the study who take care of them carefully. Therefore, a light scent of sandalwood comes from the study, which makes one’s heart calm down instantly. .
Li An stood where he was, with envy in his eyes.
“If you don’t dislike it, how about staying in the humble house?”
Song Mingzhang spoke at the right time, and said leisurely: “Study hard here for three to five years, and you will definitely gain more by then!”
Li An hesitated for a while, but finally saluted, and said, “How lucky is Zuo Wen to be loved so much by senior!”
“Respect, it is better to obey!”
He agreed.
