I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 132 Black Book, Bagua Lotus

Xie Yuan was shocked and stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

The [Black Book] on the panel has finally been activated?

Just because you took a look at the real Black Book?
Thinking back to the dreamy black and white lotus, Xie Yuan's expression fluctuated a little.

Is that thing the so-called Black Book?

I originally thought it would be in the form of a book page or something like that... but this looks more mysterious.

Although he only took a glance, he felt it was an eye-opener. Since coming to this world, Xie Yuan had never seen such a fantastic thing.

However, even though the [Black Book] was activated, how should it be used? This was not a technique or skill, and it was very different from usual.

As for the ability recorded on the panel, he only needs to keep practicing and he will eventually understand it.

But apart from the three words in the [Black Book], Xie Yuan was completely in the dark and had no idea how to make progress.

Is it necessary to "read" the Krishna Book constantly? But this book doesn't seem to be read.

"Is this lotus the Black Book? It's amazing. But if this thing is called a book, how do you read it?"

Xie Yuan looked at Mu Chaoyun, and asked while praising her, his attitude quite open and generous.

He thought that Mu Chaoyun would not show him the true appearance of the Black Book, but he did not expect that she, who had been so imposing just now, would become generous again and show him a look.

Even though it was just a glimpse, it was generous enough. In this case, Xie Yuan did not hide his curiosity.

Mu Chaoyun had already retracted his gaze, lowered his head slightly again, and hid his face in the hood.

Her voice was clear and cold, like a cold spring in a mountain stream. It was pleasant to the ear, yet also made the listener shudder physically and mentally:
"No one has been able to comprehend the mystery of the Black Book of Heaven. Just like you were able to comprehend sword moves with the help of some lotus petals, if you are lucky, you can comprehend it just by contemplating it, or even just getting close to it. If you don't have this fate, even if you carry it with you all the time and hold it in your arms day and night, it is just an ordinary dead object.

"Countless predecessors of our clan have already tried countless times. If you contemplate and comprehend carefully, you may gain something later, but there will also be dangers."

Mu Chaoyun asked in a vague voice:

"Do you know the origin of the Black Book?"

Xie Yuan shook his head:

"You just said that according to rumors, it is the scattered fragments of the human race's divine book? It sounds a bit mysterious..."

When he said this, he was suddenly stunned, and remembered the strange vision he saw when he first met Mu Chaoyun and received the Black Heaven Book from her.

Mu Chaoyun's black robe swayed, as if nodding:

"You should remember what you saw at that time. Well, you do have some inspiration, otherwise you wouldn't have seen these...

“Those are all true. The most unbelievable rumors sometimes don’t turn out to be groundless.

"The Heavenly Book records the principles of Heaven. It was once a treasure that enabled the ancestors of the human race to survive the competition among hundreds of races and establish their own race. After thousands of years of changes, the Heavenly Book was scattered and lost without a trace. Some of the remaining pages that recorded the martial arts were passed down, but they were burned by the Heavenly Fire and were in tatters. They are now called the Black Heavenly Book.

“Although the Black Heavenly Book is a rare treasure that records the ultimate principles of martial arts in the world, because it was created due to an accident, its records are also extremely chaotic.

“For example, this page of the Eight Trigrams Lotus records the methods of divination, transformation and concealment, as well as some methods of using weapons, and other miscellaneous arts. There is no connection between them, and there is no pattern at all.

"From the Black Book, you may comprehend the supreme secret method, or you may comprehend ordinary kung fu, or you may comprehend disordered evil kung fu and go astray. Every time the Black Book is published, it causes a great uproar and bloodshed, and is even regarded as an ominous sign by many people. It is not without reason.

"These are all the results of the exploration and summary of countless people in our clan through countless hardships. Those who are too obsessed with the Black Book and study and contemplate it every day will not have a good ending."

There was a hint of warning in Mu Chaoyun's tone, and Xie Yuan heard it clearly, and immediately said:
"It's such a secret, thank you Miss Mu for telling me generously. I am just curious and don't dare to have any improper thoughts about this treasure."

"So best."

Mu Chaoyun said softly.

Xie Yuan's mood fluctuated when he heard this, and he thought:
"The Black Book of Heaven? The Book of Heaven? This world is so wonderful. But I have traveled through time and space, and there is such a thing as the golden finger. It is normal for this world to be so wonderful."

Looking at the [Black Book: (1/100)] in front of him, he secretly speculated that he should visualize the Black Book's true form, the Eight Trigrams Lotus, in order to advance his progress and gain some understanding.

According to Mu Chaoyun, understanding this thing depends entirely on luck, but if I can observe it from time to time, I should be able to gain something steadily...

However, Mu Chaoyun was already very alert. Xie Yuan had already asked a lot of questions, so he didn't dare to reveal more thoughts for fear of being considered to have ulterior motives.

But as long as she was here, there might be a chance, and Xie Yuan was suddenly not so resistant to Mu Chaoyun's stay.

After all, since you are here, maybe you can get some unexpected gains.

"Miss Mu is from the Mu family in Beidu Mountain?"

There was silence in the room for a moment. Xie Yuan poured more tea for Mu Chaoyun and started a new conversation.

Otherwise, he always felt a little weird when the two of them sat face to face.

Mu Chaoyun's black robe moved, and he seemed to look up at him:
"Yes."

"I often go to Beidu Mountain... Hehe, Miss Mu knows that, after all, that's where she ran into me. I come from Xiaoshi Village at the foot of Beidu Mountain Range, so Miss Mu and I are neighbors, right?"

Xie Yuan made small talk and tried to get close to her.

Mu Chaoyun listened and didn't answer for a long time. Just when Xie Yuan thought that his toes were curled up because of the awkward conversation, he suddenly heard her ask:
"You heard my background from that little girl, right?"

Xie Yuan was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyebrows:
"Miss Mu, do you know that I was rescued by that lady later?"

"I roughly calculated that he must be your benefactor."

Mu Chaoyun did not give a direct answer.

Xie Yuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Miss Mu abandoned me. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet this noble man, I would have been killed by a knife." "Abandoned you..."

Mu Chaoyun repeated his words softly, and suddenly he snorted, his voice becoming even colder than an icy spring on a snowy mountain:
"That's your own fault. How could I have the obligation to save you?"

"you……"

Hearing this, Xie Yuan frowned, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

But he thought about it, took a long breath, and said in a deep voice:

"You're right."

Mu Chaoyun was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xie Yuan didn't get angry.

She secretly observed Xie Yuan under his hood and found that his expression was solemn and firm, his lips were tightly closed, and he said nothing more.

The room fell into complete silence, and the air became somewhat stagnant.

Xie Yuan sat at the tea table, sipping tea slowly with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking about; while Mu Chaoyun was still wrapped in a black robe, sitting cross-legged on the couch, motionless. If one didn't look over, one wouldn't even know there was someone here.

The two of them just sat there quietly, like two wooden sculptures.

"Bang bang!"

There was a sudden knock on the door in the quiet room.

Xie Yuan opened his eyes and looked towards the door, and heard the voice of a cheerful old man:
"Xie Yuan, are you taking a rest?"

Chief escort?
Xie Yuan stood up, walked to the door, stretched out his hand to open it, and saw Shen Longteng, a tall man with a ruddy face, standing at the door. He laughed and said:

"Xie Yuan, you really haven't slept! I knew that for a young man like you, destroying the King Kong Sect would be a piece of cake. It's a piece of cake, there's no need to sleep. Come on, pack up, today is a big day, let's go celebrate now!"

Seeing that Shen Longteng was about to pull him away, Xie Yuan took a step back and responded:
"Okay, Chief Escort, I'll come right after I change my clothes."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll wait for you!"

After saying this, Shen Longteng wanted to go in, and it seemed that he wanted to wait outside.

However, Xie Yuan had no intention of giving way and smiled politely:

"Excuse me, Chief Escort, please wait for a moment."

Then he slammed the door shut.

Shen Longteng stood outside, looking at the tightly closed door in front of him. He was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself:
"This kid is so polite that he even closed the door after changing clothes. When escorting, the guys all stood in a row to urinate, trying to see who could urinate the farthest... Could it be that the King Kong Sect has cast a shadow on him? How can you compare me with those rabbits?"

Shen Longteng felt a little uneasy, but as he was a generous person, he didn't care.

What's more, Xie Yuan is now the number one contributor to the escort agency. Not to mention asking him to wait outside, even if he is asked to be the chief escort and Shen Longteng helps him, that is not a problem.

Xie Yuan returned to the room, glanced at Mu Chaoyun, who was still lying motionless on the couch like a mannequin, and took out a set of clean clothes to change.

He was still wearing the robe he had worn when he rushed back from Yunzhou Prefecture. Even though it was a good piece of clothing sent by Situ Qin, it was stained with blood and mud after having been through so many battles. Naturally, he could not wear it to attend the celebration banquet.

Besides, I just had an unpleasant conversation with Mu Chaoyun, and if I just left, it would seem like we were arguing and angry, which is not appropriate.

Xie Yuan took a set of clean clothes, looked at Mu Chaoyun in the inner room, then looked at the figure of Shen Longteng faintly visible through the window paper at the door. After a little hesitation, he had to walk to the outside of the screen and changed his clothes quickly.

Listening to the rustling sound and looking at the looming figure dressing and taking off pants on the screen, the black robe tilted slightly and seemed to be more still, like a real sculpture.

After Xie Yuan changed his clothes and put the dirty clothes into the laundry basket, he went into the inner room and lowered his voice to the lowest level:
"Miss Mu, you should take a good rest first. I'm going out now."

Mu Chaoyun's hood shook, as if nodding.

After finishing his instructions, Xie Yuan clasped his fists, turned around to open the door, stepped out, and quickly closed the door. He said to Shen Longteng, who had a subtle expression outside the door:
"Captain Escort, are we going to the banquet now?"

"Well, go ahead. Why were you changing in the outer room just now?"

"Well...Isn't it because you don't want to keep the chief escort waiting any longer? Where are we going? Why bother you to come and call me in person?"

"Hahaha, I've already reserved Chunjianglou, the best restaurant in the county. As soon as the competition this morning is over, we have to show respect wherever we go. Chunjianglou used to be the resident restaurant of the King Kong Sect, but now we won't care about them."

Shen Longteng laughed and said:

"Xie Yuan, you are the most meritorious person in the escort agency. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"It's all thanks to everyone."

Xie Yuan was humble for a moment.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't say anything, I will help you choose. Well, I have a demon tiger bone in my warehouse. Old Chu and Old Wei have been coveting it for a long time. This time I will give it to you. And..."

As the two talked, they walked farther away. Their voices gradually faded away, and Xie Yuan's courtyard became quiet.

In the room, Mu Chaoyun slowly took off his hood, revealing a beautiful oval face.

The face was so beautiful that it didn't seem like something human should have, but her skin was so white and bloodless, and her cheeks were thin, revealing a kind of fragility that made me feel sorry for her.

But her eyes were like a lake, extremely deep, and her dark eyebrows were slightly raised, as if she was enduring something.

Mu Chaoyun glanced around the room, and then glanced at the clothes basket. He twisted his lips and whispered, "Lecher."

Then she looked ahead, her eyes blank. She stayed there for a long while before she closed her eyes, folded her arms, and curled up on the couch.

That thin figure makes people feel helpless and lonely for some reason.
