Chapter 011 - The Book Thief

　　"Mr. Big, are you going back?" 　　The white-haired old man was about to go forward and reprimand the scion who wasn't reading properly for a few moments, but he was stopped by a middle-aged man walking on his way. 　　"It's Ji Zhen ah, why do you have the time to wander into this shitty book building." 　　The middle-aged man was full of good colors, but the old man still had a stern face. 　　"Eldest sir has tormented me, these days, the Cloud View is accepting new students, there are quite a few new disciples, I'm at least a steward, so there are more things to do." 　　"Look at you, this time Cloudy Sky View recruited quite a few good seedlings, right?" 　　"There is a disciple who is good, upper grade immortal vein, and his brain is also flexible, I've already got him reading the Cloud Sky Nascent Soul Scripture, he read two chapters in January, his qualifications are not bad." 　　"Read two chapters in January?" The white-haired old man's eyes lit up, then narrowed his eyes and laughed: "Ji Zhen you've picked up a treasure, you must treat yourself to a good drink." 　　"Bring it!" 　　The middle-aged man patted a large gourd on his waist. 　　The white-haired old man who had been idly bored and wanted to go downstairs, without saying a word turned around and followed the middle-aged man up the stairs, even the matter of reprimanding Li Yunsheng was forgotten. 　　Li Yunsheng didn't notice this side of the episode in the slightest, and kept burying his head in his book until the sun sank in the west. 　　His method of reading books is still the same as before, first roughly sweep once, the content of the book one by one to write down, and then go home to "chew slowly", although this method makes him feel a little red, but now in the immortal mansion of the same time as in his hometown when he is not rich, borrowing books is too expensive, here slowly read time is not allowed, so there is only this method. But now in the Immortal Mansion, he is as poor as he was back home, borrowing books is too expensive. 　　However, his "blush" was a bit redundant, because throughout the ages, there were not many people who read books to him like this. 　　"Your name is Li Yunsheng?" 　　Just as Li Yunsheng stuffed the book he had just finished in his hand into the bookshelf, a long-faced teenager walked up to him. 　　"Yes." 　　Although the teenager looked unfamiliar, Li Yunsheng still nodded. 　　Strangely, after hearing Li Yunsheng's answer, the teenager sneered and left. 　　The puzzled Li Yunsheng looked at the teenager's departing back, cocked his head with a puzzled face, and finally shook his head. These days, because of his "bright heart" and that blossoming millennium acacia tree's sake, specially to come to the White Cloud Temple to see him there are a few sets of people, but see Li Yunsheng ordinary appearance, most of them are either disappointment, or ridicule and return, Li Yunsheng did not put into mind, a few brothers and Yang Wanli was angry, and once the third elder brother! Li Changgeng then took a flat stick and stood at the foot of the mountain to dispersed the group of people who came to see the show, after that the people who came gradually less. 　　"That Chu Chu senior sister, is she out with second senior brother?" 　　Seeing that the person sitting at the front desk at the entrance had been replaced by a gentle youth, and there was no sign of Li Ran, Li Yunsheng was curious in his heart. 　　He didn't think too much about it, he helped Li Changgeng borrow the book "Demon Chopper Legend", returned the deposit for reading the book and then prepared to walk through the gate and walked out. 　　""Wooo ...... woof! 　　But before he could walk out of the gate ten paces away, a big white dog rushed out from somewhere and pounced ferociously towards Li Yunsheng. 　　Before Li Yunsheng could react he had already been ferociously pounced on the ground by the vicious dog. 　　"That'll do, Little White, bring him here." 　　Just as the giant dog's fangs were about to bite into Li Yunsheng's neck, the svelte man sitting at the counter at the doorway put down the pen in his hand that was keeping the books and shouted at the big white dog, not realizing that it looked like it understood the human language as it tore into Li Yunsheng dragging him back into the building. 　　"Get up, book thief, Little White won't really hurt you." 　　The svelte man glanced at Li Yunsheng with some disgust. 　　"Book thief?" 　　The gray-headed Li Yunsheng glanced at the big dog in front of him with palpitations, and looked at that Sven man in surprise. 　　"If you didn't steal the books out of the building, Little White wouldn't have bitten you, bring it!" 　　The Sven man reached out towards Li Yunsheng. 　　"Book? What book? I've only borrowed a copy of the Demon Chopper's Tale." 　　Li Yunsheng handed the borrowed book in his hand to the man facing Sven. 　　"You really don't see the coffin." 　　That Sven man snorted coldly again before walking straight towards Li Yunsheng, reaching around his waist and pulling out a pamphlet. 　　"What is this?" 　　Seeing that pamphlet in the man's hand, Li Yunsheng was stunned, he could be very sure that it was not something he had taken. He quickly thought of the teenager who had just asked if his name was "Li Yunsheng", the only possibility he could think of was that this man had put this book on him, but what Li Yunsheng couldn't figure out at all was: why would he do that? 　　"What's the matter, making a lot of noise." 　　At this time some of the disciples on the first floor who were originally reading books came over, even the white-haired old man and the middle-aged man who were originally drinking upstairs walked down. 　　"Report to the two senior uncle, this do not know where to come wild boy actually dared to steal books in the Yellow Crane Building, was Xiaobai caught a square." 　　Seeing these two men the expression of the gentle man immediately became exceptionally respectful. 　　"It's you?" The white-haired old man recognized Li Yunsheng, the very same disciple he had seen not reading seriously when he had come downstairs earlier. 　　"No wonder you just read one book and lost one, so you were looking for a book to lay your hands on!" 　　"Mr. Big knows this kid?" 　　The middle-aged man looked at Li Yunsheng with interest and said. 　　"Hmph, just before I met you, I saw this kid keep taking books up and down from the bookshelf, not a serious reader at all." 　　Li Yunsheng did not know why this old man in front of him, but listening to the old man so said instantly understand, the way he reads books if it falls in the eyes of outsiders is indeed this kind of appearance, but he has a bias is not good to explain. 　　A time can not argue Li Yunsheng only silence. 　　"Come come come, let me see which book you finally picked to start after picking for so long, if your vision is good, I can then consider letting someone break one less of your arms." 　　I don't know if it's because he drank some wine, this white-haired old man actually got playful. 　　"It's Yun Yangzi's Notes on the White Stream Cao Tang." 　　The svelte man respectfully handed it to the white-haired old man. 　　"I didn't expect you to be quite good at stealing, this is the lone book should be able to be exchanged for a hundred or ten pounds of immortal grain." 　　The old man sneered at Li Yunsheng. 　　"Yun Yangzi this note I have also read, talented and extraordinary temperament, if it is an orphaned book it is indeed worth this price, there are indeed not many books on this floor that are worth more than this side, the little friend is quite discerning." 　　The middle-aged man on the side did not know whether to sincerely praise or irony. 　　These books in the Yellow Crane Building, placed in the building unusual, but if it is taken out, even in this Green Lotus Immortal Mansion every book is also expensive. 　　"This broken book is worth a hundred pounds of immortal grain? If I really want to steal it, I won't steal this one either." 　　What orphaned book is not orphaned Li Yunsheng really did not know, but this book he happened to read today, and did not think it was a good book, on the contrary, it was also very disgusting. 　　"The tone is arrogant, you and say, how is this book broken?" 　　The white-haired old man sneered. 　　"Yes, this is the first time I've heard someone dare to talk about Yun Yangzi's book like this, I wonder if you're really ignorant or have some insight?" 　　The middle-aged man was also laughing from the sidelines. 　　With all the stolen goods in front of them, they were in no hurry to dispose of Li Yunsheng. 　　"I really don't know if this 'Baixi Cao Tang Notebook' is a lone book or not, but I read it down and found that it is nothing but fawning over this Heavenly Dao from beginning to end, such as that 'Heavenly Fate Conservation' theory on the twentieth page ...... " 　　I don't know if it's because I've read too many books today, the more Li Yunsheng speaks, the more excited he gets, he doesn't just take the content of this Baixi Cao Tang Notebook itself, he also cites many of the books he's read today to corroborate his own views, and narrates them with a clear logic that doesn't seem to be something that can be uttered out of the mouth of a teenager at all. 　　The white-haired old man and the middle-aged man exchanged a glance, the two looked like they were already drunk at this point. 　　"Then if you were to steal, which book would you steal?" 　　The middle-aged man first glanced at the white-haired old man before staring at Li Yunsheng. 　　"The books on this floor, although I haven't read all of them, but if I say that I think the most valuable book, it should be that book 'Jade Void Zi Speaks of the Xuan Wei Miao Jing', this book is a bit strange, the opening chapter reads like listening to this Jade Void Zi's drunken gibberish, and I spent a long time to read it in, but when I read it in, I realized that the opening chapter of those drunken gibberish is really the word, the most thing that makes me The most admirable thing is that the Jade Void Zi treats the Heavenly Dao's courage, I look at this floor of a thousand books of articles, in fact, most of them are just words of flattery to the Heavenly Dao, only this one is different, the beginning of the curse of the Heavenly Dao, in the middle of the article and the Heavenly Dao refutation, the latter part of the article, although implicit, but it can be seen that the Jade Void Zi has already found a way to coexist with the Heavenly Dao, and even ...... " 　　Speaking here Li Yunsheng did not continue, but raised his head to look at the white-haired old man with the middle-aged man, "Jade Void Zi is truly a marvelous seeker of the Dao, he should be the only real person amongst the many cultivators who have authored books on this floor." 　　"Hahahahaha ......" 　　Li Yunsheng had just finished speaking when he saw the white-haired old man with a voice like a bell tilting his head and laughing. 　　"You go." 　　The middle-aged man also laughed and waved his hand at Li Yunsheng. 　　...... 　　"Two senior uncles, I still don't understand, the book is on him, just based on his one seat of nonsense, the two senior uncles let him go without any punishment, in the future, I'm afraid that it will only be a bad start for the other senior brothers." 　　The man facing Sven looked at Li Yunsheng's back as he left, frowning in disbelief as he asked. 　　"Can't you see that he just almost memorized the Baixi Cao Tang Notes word for word? If he can memorize it, why would he steal it?" 　　The middle-aged man hated the iron and glared at the man facing Sven. 　　"Oops, I actually forgot to ask that little doll which blessed land he is a disciple of." 　　The white-haired old man slapped his head and said. 　　"It's a newly accepted disciple of the White Cloud View, called Li Yunsheng." 　　This time the man facing Sven responded quickly. 　　"White Cloud Guan?!" 　　"Can't it be that it's that disciple who is rumored to possess a Tong Ming Dao heart?" 　　The middle-aged man suddenly remembered the row over disciples that had made a lot of noise the other day. 　　"It shouldn't be wrong." 　　"In other words, this little doll, today is the first time he came to Yellow Crane Tower?" 　　"Within a day, he read most of the books on the first floor, not to mention that he memorized all of them in his head?" 　　The white-haired old man and the middle-aged man once again looked at each other. 　　"But it is said that this little doll Immortal Vein is a rootless Immortal Vein ...... pity." 　　"But letting him stay in the White Cloud Temple and do farm work with a bunch of crop farmers is such a waste." 　　The white-haired old man suddenly developed a love for talent. 　　"This is said to be the meaning of that person, and with no rooted immortal veins, the White Cloud Temple might be the best place to return to, even if he can't cultivate, the two pounds and eight measures of immortal food per month is enough to prolong his life by a thousand years." The middle-aged man looked at the white-haired old man, "But a life span of one armor, for us cultivators is nothing more than a passing cloud, even if you can break through the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao can make time easily erase you." 　　"Alas ...... pity a good seedling." 　　The white-haired old man let out a long sigh, and then the two of them went up the stairs again.
