Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

A moment later, Lin Yaoxie clearly heard footsteps moving, and then slowly, the door to the library opened. Standing before Lin Yaoxie was a refined and elegant scholar.

Chapter 310 The Scholar with a Cane

Lin Yaoxie observed the dilapidated state of the library, the deserted surroundings, and the tightly closed doors. He guessed that the library had probably been untouched for a long time.

So, the person who is willing to guard these ancient books in such a lonely and quiet environment for so long must be an old man who has entered his eighties or nineties, right?

However, the moment the gatekeeper of the library opened the door, Lin Yaoxie completely overturned all his previous assumptions; the gatekeeper was not an old man.

Instead, what appeared before Lin Yaoxie was a gentle and refined scholar with a smile on his face. This scholar was dressed in a white robe, and his whole person seemed to be surrounded by soft light.

Lin Yaoxie never expected that there would be such a young and pure person who was willing to give up those empty and prosperous things and willingly guard this place in solitude and freedom.

Clearly, the white-robed youth was also quite shocked when he opened the door and saw Lin Yaoxie. Perhaps it was because no one had been to this library for so long that he was so surprised.

However, although the white-robed youth was surprised, he maintained a polite smile after a brief moment of astonishment and quickly recovered, then said to Lin Yaoxie:

"I was unaware of your arrival and have failed to greet you properly. I hope you will not be angry!"

Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but chuckle. This young man didn't seem to be very old, but his words were so mature. It was a bit hard to understand.

However, Lin Yaoxie clearly didn't take these questions to heart. Instead, he laughed heartily and looked at the boy as he answered:

“You don’t need to do that. We should be considered peers! I’m just here to take a look around. I don’t have anything special to do here, and I’m hardly a distinguished guest.”

The young man simply smiled and shook his head before opening the door and letting Lin Yaoxie in. Lin Yaoxie didn't say anything more and followed him closely into the library.

However, after Lin Yaoxie entered the library, he discovered a wheelchair with two large wheels not far away, which seemed to be frequently used.

Lin Yaoxie was just about to turn around and ask the scholar in the plain white robe whose things they were when he noticed that after the scholar closed the door, a cane had suddenly appeared beside him.

Lin Yaoxie couldn't control his expression for a moment, revealing a look of great surprise as he stared at the scholar, speechless for a long time.

The scholar clearly noticed Lin Yaoxie's questioning gaze. However, he showed no dissatisfaction or unhappiness whatsoever; instead, he leaned on his cane and walked towards Lin Yaoxie.

As the scholar walked, he said to Lin Yaoxie, "You don't need to be surprised. This is an injury I had many years ago. I've almost forgotten that I even have such an injury!"

"After a while, I stopped feeling anything at all. But thinking about it carefully, this leg of mine might actually be one of the important reasons why I'm willing to stay in this library forever!"

The scholar in the plain white robe had already sat down on the wheel next to him as he spoke.

Chapter 311 Treasure Catalogue

Lin Yaoxie never expected that the dragging sounds he heard after knocking on the door were actually caused by the scholar's legs.

The scholar was dressed in a plain robe, looking completely untouched by the world, as if he were out of place. Perhaps he hadn't opened this door in a long time and was even more unaware of what the outside world was like.

Moreover, it seemed that he had been guarding this place for many years. His eyes were clear and pure, without any impurities, yet they also seemed to be the result of seeing through everything and understanding the truth after experiencing countless trials.

Lin Yaoxie honestly told himself that he couldn't see through the person in front of him. His appearance was like gentle moonlight, softly enveloping him, as if he were aloof and untouched by worldly affairs.

However, Lin Yaoxie knew that this person was definitely not an ordinary person. Otherwise, how could someone have endured such unbearable loneliness and still maintain such a calm and composed mind?

This person must have endured a great deal of untold, unbearable suffering to be willing to stay here and spend his days with these indifferent ancient books.

Moreover, from the moment the scholar opened the door, Lin Yaoxie understood that the scholar's energy was definitely not as weak as it seemed.

However, Lin Yaoxie didn't understand what he had gone through, and even if Lin Yaoxie was interested in him now, she wouldn't actually ask him.

Lin Yaoxie knew all too well that he had more important things to do now: finding Zi Yuehan as soon as possible was more important than anything else.

Lin Yaoxie watched as the scholar sat in the wheelchair, then looked up and smiled at him, a very friendly and kind expression on his face. The scholar looked at Lin Yaoxie and continued:

"Haha, look at me, I've been so busy reminiscing about these old stories, what's the point of talking about them? Really..."

"By the way, my name is Chen Feng. Ever since I was injured and my leg was ruined, I have been guarding this library and have never left. So, if you have any business here today, or if you are looking for any books, you can tell me."

"I think that with all the years of managing these libraries, I have a complete understanding of the books in them. If you want to find a particular book, just tell me and I will find it for you."

Lin Yaoxie politely said, "Thank you!" Then he looked around at the huge library in front of him. The library had two floors and seemed to contain a large number of books.

The number is countless.

However, although the library appears to be deserted on weekdays, it is still kept very clean and tidy, which shows that Chen Feng has indeed put a lot of effort into it.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yaoxie turned to Chen Feng and asked, "I want to find a book that records the most treasures of the Six Realms, preferably with pictures to help me identify them."

"I don't know, Brother Chen, do you know where such books can be found, or if there are any similar books in the library? I have some things that I want to verify, so I need to find the corresponding books to check them."

Chen Feng thought for a moment, then smiled and replied to Lin Yaoxie, "Perhaps, the Treasure Catalogue might meet your requirements."

Chapter 312 Doubts Don't Need to Be Completely Resolved

Lin Yaoxie was originally very interested in Chen Feng's experiences and the reason why his legs became like this, and originally wanted to ask him about it.

However, he suddenly remembered that his purpose in coming to the library today was to find clues and find Zi Yuehan as soon as possible.

So, Chen Feng is, after all, an insignificant outsider to them. Even if Lin Yaoxie knew the truth about Chen Feng's transformation, it would probably be of no use in finding Zi Yuehan.

Moreover, this is Chen Feng's own privacy, and he has the right to choose not to tell me. No one has any reason to know.

If Lin Yaoxie were to actually ask Chen Feng this question, he worried that his search for useful books might be hindered, which would displease Chen Feng and make him unwilling to offer his help.

Therefore, after weighing various factors, Lin Yaoxie decided to give up asking Chen Feng about his story.

After Lin Yaoxie shared his thoughts with Chen Feng, Chen Feng told him about the books he recommended. Lin Yaoxie asked in confusion:

"A catalog of treasures? You mean, this contains a record of all the treasures and pictures in the Six Realms? Whatever they may be?"

Chen Feng smiled, then looked at Lin Yaoxie and replied:

"Logically speaking, that is indeed the case. It contains most of the treasures in the Six Realms, but whether it contains them all, I am not quite sure."

"However, as far as I know, this book contains the most comprehensive introduction to the treasures. I doubt there's a more complete treasure description in this library."

"You can take a look first, and if it doesn't work out, I can help you find another one!"

Lin Yaoxie nodded, then said to Chen Feng, "Okay, then I'll trouble you to help me find this book!"

Chen Feng nodded, then turned his wheelchair around and went to the bookshelf. Lin Yaoxie, watching Chen Feng intently searching for books, finally couldn't resist asking him:

"Chen Feng, aren't you wondering why I (Aeff) came here to find this book? After all, it's been a long time since anyone has been here, right? This time, someone suddenly comes, and wants to find such an obscure book. Aren't you curious?"

To Lin Yaoxie's surprise, Chen Feng suddenly smiled, then turned to look at Lin Yaoxie and said:

"Of course I'm confused, but being confused doesn't mean I already know everything. Didn't you also seem very confused about my experience and my leg from the moment you came in?"

"But you didn't ask me, even though you were also very confused about me. You knew I wasn't what I seemed, but you still didn't ask me, did you?"

"Sometimes, having doubts and questions doesn't mean you have to know the answers. Perhaps, by always keeping this confusion and bewilderment, we can always maintain the best mindset."

"If we don't know everything about the other person, perhaps we can become better friends. It's easier to be honest with each other, don't you think?"

When Lin Yaoxie heard Chen Feng say this, he seemed to suddenly understand. He paused for a moment, smiled at Chen Feng, and then nodded slightly.

Chapter 313 Finding the Treasure Map

Lin Yaoxie never expected that Chen Feng, after spending so much time in this library, would still be able to live with such clarity. He saw everything too clearly, too thoroughly.

In Chen Feng's eyes, there was probably nothing that absolutely had to be done. When he decided to dedicate the rest of his life to this library, he had already relinquished too many of his obsessions.

Therefore, while Lin Yaoxie was unable to express his thoughts to himself and Chen Feng due to his doubts, Chen Feng had already made his life easy and simple.

Chen Feng no longer experiences significant emotional fluctuations, because to him, Lin Yaoxie is probably just someone he has interacted with during the long years of his remaining life.

Lin Yaoxie didn't understand, but Chen Feng simply didn't want to understand. Lin Yaoxie had never imagined that someone could live such a transparent and simple life.

Almost nothing else of value would disturb his peaceful state of mind. Lin Yaoxie looked at Chen Feng for a long time before finally replying:

“You’re right, any obsession will inevitably lead to suffering! It’s better if we stay like we are now, not understanding each other, but that way we can trust each other.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng smiled genuinely. Lin Yaoxie probably didn't realize that, to Chen Feng, Lin Yaoxie had already become somewhat different.

Chen Feng did not answer Lin Yaoxie's question. He continued to examine the books on the bookshelf very carefully. After a while, Chen Feng suddenly turned to look at Lin Yaoxie, holding a very old book in his hand.

Lin Yaoxie saw Chen Feng turn around and asked him in surprise:

"Found it? Is it that book? The Illustrated Compendium of Treasures?"

Chen Feng smiled and nodded with satisfaction. He then slowly pushed his wheelchair over to Lin Yaoxie and handed her the book.

Lin Yaoxie excitedly accepted the book, then hurriedly thanked him. He quickly flipped through the book and began reading it over and over again.

Lin Yaoxie examined the book very carefully, but it contained almost all the treasures in the entire Six Realms, making it extremely difficult to read.

0oo one requests flowers

Lin Yaoxie was extremely nervous, afraid of missing any useful information, since these things were all related to Zi Yuehan's safety and whereabouts.

Lin Yaoxie absolutely could not allow himself to make any mistakes, otherwise he might miss the chance to see Zi Yuehan again, which was something Lin Yaoxie absolutely could not tolerate.

00 ...

Chen Feng seemed to sense Lin Yaoxie's nervousness and comforted him, "Don't worry, these treasures have references. You can use the patterns on them to selectively examine them. This will save you a lot of time."

Lin Yaoxie then noticed what Chen Feng had said: there were pictures on every page of the book. Lin Yaoxie had been so anxious that he had forgotten to carefully examine the pages.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yaoxie glanced gratefully at Chen Feng and hurriedly said, "Thank you!"

Chapter 314 The Bottle of Frozen Souls

Lin Yaoxie hadn't expected that even though he hadn't explained his identity or the purpose of his visit to Chen Feng, Chen Feng would still help him so sincerely.

Moreover, Chen Feng's observational skills were also remarkable. He could tell from Lin Yaoxie's speed of flipping through the ancient books and his demeanor that Lin Yaoxie was extremely flustered.

This made Lin Yaoxie even more aware that Chen Feng was definitely not just a gatekeeper of the "003" library. He must have many hidden stories, and his strength must be as weak as he appeared.

However, Lin Yaoxie no longer had the energy to care about other people's affairs. He just wanted to seize every moment to find something similar to the vase in the treasure catalog and the vase in the Ghost Doctor's room.

After sensing the unusual nature of the vase, Lin Yaoxie was certain that it was an ancient treasure, extremely rare and precious.

Otherwise, what kind of cultivation method or magic in this world can absorb a person's spiritual power infinitely and still preserve the person's three souls and seven spirits intact?

This is too hard to guess. If such a technique and the person who knows it truly existed in this world, they would probably have been exterminated by the entire Six Realms long ago.

In their eyes, such techniques must be considered heretical and deviant, as absorbing other people's spiritual energy to instantly enhance oneself is something that is always despised by reputable sects.

Lin Yaoxie flipped to the bottle section and carefully examined each page. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his eyes were suddenly drawn to a vase.

The pattern, size, and shape of this vase are exactly the same as the vase in the Ghost Doctor's room, with almost no difference.

Lin Yaoxie pointed to that page and began to read it carefully.

This vase is called the Frozen Soul Vase. Legend has it that in ancient times, Taoist immortals refined various treasures in the Qiankun Furnace to create items that could enhance the cultivation techniques of their fellow cultivators.

At that time, after these immortals refined these treasures, they would scatter them in various corners of the six realms of the primordial world... and then they would quietly wait for their destined ones to discover them.

These treasures have always been very spiritual, so they will only open their protective shields and allow people to subdue them when they are facing people who have the same characteristics as them.
