It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 552

"Landscape Sutra..."

After the Master said these three words, the hall was clearly divided into two factions. The expressions of Song Hanzhi and the others in the academy became very ugly, as if their beloved woman was snatched by a bandit and lived there for another year and a half.

However, a master of all corners and lakes like Ma Meng is at a loss: What is Shanshui Jing, what is it?

Cheng Dalei also belongs to the Jianghu faction, and this is the first time he has heard the three words Shanshuijing.

And Liu Fa Cai had obviously never heard of these three words. Chu Yunsheng was also in the hall at the moment, Cheng Dalei waved at him, Chu Yunsheng came over obediently.

"Shanshuijing...what?"

Chu Yunshengguo is worthy of being a literate person, and slowly said: "The academy collects books from all over the world, and he also writes books and biography. The academy once sent disciples to investigate the geography of the empire's mountains and rivers. It took ten years before and after, and hundreds of disciples were dispatched to become one. Local geography. One hundred and eight cities in the thirteen states of the empire are all included in this book of landscapes.”

"Yo, it's just a map. If you lose it, you should lose it." Liu Facai said disdainfully.

There were not a few people on the field who had the same idea as Liu Facai, and many Jianghu people had relaxed expressions.

"What am I doing, it turns out to be a map, so it shouldn't matter."

"Think about how many books are in the academy, but they stole a map. It seems that these thieves have no vision."

...

There was no expression on the master's face, and he sat still. It was difficult for Song Hanzhi and others to hide their impatience: they really couldn't communicate with this group of illiterate Jianghu people.

Cheng Dalei did not join forces with this group of Jianghu people this time, and he still understood the importance of Shanshuijing. He is a person who attaches great importance to maps. If he can grasp the geography of the empire in advance, and know where the cavalry is suitable for charging, where is suitable for guarding, and where to ambush and set traps, then the odds of winning before a battle are more than half.

The key is to look at the level of detail in this Classic of Mountains and Rivers produced by the academy.

So here comes the question. The academy has worked hard to figure out what the purpose of this book is.

"That..." Cheng Dalei asked first, "Is there a copy?"

The Master sighed: "After the Book of Mountains and Rivers was written, it has been kept in the library. Because this book is extremely important, even in the academy, only a few people are qualified to read this book."

"Then..." Cheng Dalei asked again, "Is there any original data?"

"On the day the book was completed, all the collected materials were destroyed by my own hands."

"So, the person who wrote the book, shouldn't he also kill him?" Cheng Dalei.

"Uh..." The master had to focus on Cheng Dalei. This kid broke the casserole and asked to the end. He was obviously very interested in the Classic of Mountains and Rivers. What would happen if there was a copy, would you steal it again.

It wasn't that Cheng Dalei didn't have this plan. He had already made up his mind to visit the library at night today. What if the master lied, to be honest, he didn't trust the character of a scholar very much.

After a while, another person walked into the hall, and he was Zhang Liu, the gatekeeper of the academy. Back then, he was also a giant thief in the academy, and he was not afraid of the tyrants he was doing.

"Zhang Liu had a hand with the thief last night. Zhang Liu, tell me, what kind of skill does the thief have?" Master.

Zhang Liu stood up straight, with an expression that no one was looking at. He opened his mouth and said, "The leader is a big man in a black robe. I didn't see his appearance clearly, but his kung fu is very open, and he focuses on strong attacks. He doesn't look like an empire."

This speculation is exactly the same as Cheng Dalei's guess. According to Zhang Liu, there are several possibilities at present. One is that the masters of various princes do not use their own skills in order to hide their identity; Many are either foreign merchants or robbers entrenched at sea. The third possibility is that the opponent may be the Rong.

"One more thing. I played against them last night, and I should have injured one of them." Zhang Liudao.

"Really?" Song Hanzhi's eyes lit up.

Zhang Liu was not very willing to pay attention to him, and snorted coldly: "I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can escape under my ghost chaser."

Zhang Liu has always been like this, and Song Hanzhi didn't care. He said: "Last night, the city gate was closed. Because of this incident, the city gate has not been opened yet, and the thieves are still injured. It is very likely that they have not left Langya City."

The Master nodded: "I want to apologize to all of you, because the Shanshui Jing is very important. If it falls into the hands of foreigners, there will be endless troubles. Therefore, before the thieves are found, the entry and exit of Langya City will be blocked. You must stay in Langya City for a long time. For a few days, of course, everything needed will be taken care of by my academy."

"Okay, it should be like this." Cheng Dalei said loudly: "Being able to listen to the teachings of the sage in the academy is a blessing that we can't ask for, everyone is saying it is not."

Everyone looked at him, thinking that this baby is a joke.

Who doesn't know that Master's words mean house arrest. To put it more deeply, it is related to the book stealing incident. Even if you don't personally participate, you can't say that you will collude inside and outside.

Everyone hypocritically promised and said something like "yes, yes", but they felt a little unhappy in their hearts.

Cheng Dalei was willing to stay in Langya City in his heart. He was not interested in helping the academy catch thieves, but he was extremely interested in the Shanshuijing. This Shanshui Jing is also very useful to Toad City.

Of course, Cheng Dalei didn't forget another thing. After the people in the hall dispersed, he caught Song Hanzhi.

"Mr. Song, may I ask, are the people from the Hua family here?"

"They arrived this morning, and are temporarily arranged to live in the back mountain. Is Mr. Ou going to see them now?"

"No, no, if something like this happens, let's wait for a while."

Cheng Dalei hadn't figured out how to meet the people of the Hua family. He couldn't say a word by himself. This is something to think about.

Anyway, now that the city gate is closed, they can't leave. After the book theft is resolved, it will not be too late to resolve the matter of the Hua family.

Today, the entire Langya City is blocked, and entry and exit are prohibited. Not only the city gate, but also the wharf where the merchants came and went was blocked. That is, in Langya City, the academy had such power.

Inside the city, in a deserted righteous village, several men in black appeared.

One of them was lying on the coffin board, the clothes on the back were separated by a knife, and there was black silt on the vest, which looked terrible.

The big man in black robe asked with a cold face, "How is her condition?"

"The tenderness penetrates into the heart, and there is nothing to see from the outside, but the internal organs are seriously injured. If you want to save her, the only way is to open the knife and release the blood." The subordinate replied.

"Then why don't you start?"

"None of us... have the ability to do that."
