There was no leisurely Zen like a winding path leading to a secluded place, nor was there the ethereal immortal feeling of entering Chu Mountain. There were a few ordinary houses in the ordinary forest. They looked no different from the houses of ordinary people.
Ji Yun slowly walked out of the courtyard and looked around.""It seems that Senior Nan Gong already knows about our future.”
Xing Hun and Great Si Ming nodded. Although there was no one in sight, the gate of the courtyard was wide open. There was a simple stable beside the courtyard, and a container that looked like a manger was filled with hay for the horses. Looking at the amount, it was almost enough to feed three horses.
The three of them tied up their horses, and Ji Yun led the two of them straight into the fenced courtyard.
It was a very simple courtyard, or rather, it could not be considered a courtyard because other than some dry firewood in the corner, there was nothing else in the courtyard.
"I am Ji Yun, a disciple of the Yin-Yang School. I am here to see Senior Nan Gong.”Ji Yun walked to the front of the main house and bowed. Although the door was closed, Ji Yun could already sense that Chu Nan Gong was in the main house.
"Yin-Yang School disciple Xing Hun (Great Si Ming) is here to see Senior Nan Gong.”Xing Hun and the other two hurriedly bowed.
However, there was no response from the three of them. No, there was also an echo. It was Chu Nan Gong's soft snoring that entered the three people's ears.
Xing Hun's face was filled with awkwardness, and he was immediately slandering Chu Nan in his heart.'You knew we were coming, yet you still took a nap. Aren't you doing this on purpose?' However, as the Young Master, Ji Yun hadn't stood up yet, so the two of them naturally couldn't stand up first.
Was Chu Nan Gong pretending to be asleep? Neither Xing Hun nor Ji Yun knew. Although the three of them were all experts of the current era, they could hear Chu Nan Gong's breathing and heartbeat. The slow and long breathing did indeed sound like that of a normal person sleeping. But was Chu Nan Gong a normal person?
Ji Yun wasn't unhappy about it. There were countless stories about this sort of thing in history. According to Ji Yun's knowledge, Duke Chu Nan was indeed an old man with a strange personality. It was within his expectations that he would test Chu Nan. However, knowing was one thing. Ji Yun would not foolishly wait forever.
Ten breaths later, Ji Yun stood up and slowly walked up the stairs. Under the astonished gazes of Xing Hun and Great Si Ming, he gently pushed open the door and walked in.
"This…?" Great Si Ming stood up and exchanged a glance with Xing Hun. They were both stunned as they saw a question in each other's eyes. When did Young Master become so…rude? Moreover, the other party was Chu Nan Gong!
But now that Ji Yun had already pushed the door open and entered, the two could only brace themselves and enter the room.
It was a small room with simple furnishings. In the middle of the room, there was a yellow sandalwood stove. Light smoke lingered around it, and the fragrance curled up. The two of them immediately felt relaxed and happy. There was a simple partition on the left side of the room, and there was a bed inside. At this moment, Chu Nan was resting on the bed with his back facing the two of them. On the right side of the room, there were several bookshelves placed against the wall. The shelves were filled with rolls of bamboo scrolls, and in front of the bookshelves was a table.
Ji Yun was standing in front of a table, looking at a rather peculiar scroll in his hand. His expression was uncertain.
Xing Hun and the other man walked behind Ji Yun with light steps. As Ji Yun's back was facing them, they did not notice the change in his expression.
"Young lord, isn't this a little inappropriate?”Great Si Ming asked Ji Yun nervously.
"It's fine. Senior Nan Gong wouldn't mind this.”Hearing Great Si Ming's question, Ji Yun calmed down and said lightly," Hearing Ji Yun's words, Great Si Ming didn't say anything else. He could only stand behind Ji Yun with Xing Hun. However, the two of them felt uneasy.
Ji Yun didn't feel anything wrong and sat down. He placed his hands on the table and tapped the table with his left hand, but he did not let go of the book in his right hand. Just as Great Si Ming and the others had thought, he was definitely not a rude person. The reason he did this and said this was naturally because he was confident that Chu Nan Gong would not blame him.
There was no doubt that Chu Nan Gong already knew that they would come, but he was deliberately testing them. As far as Ji Yun knew, Chu Nan Gong was not an old-fashioned person. Compared to the old scholars of this era, he was a maverick. His interaction with Jing Tianming in the anime in his previous life was the best proof. When he entered the room and saw the book on the table, he was even more certain that everything, including his direct entry into the room, was within Chu Nan's expectations.
What kind of book was this that could make Ji Yun so moved?
In fact, it was not strange. Ordinary people would not feel anything when they saw this book, but if one were to mention its name, it was likely that anyone who had some knowledge would be like Ji Yun, or even worse.
This was because this book was the legendary Book of God, and it was called the " Yellow Stone Heavenly Book "!
In Ji Yun's previous life, there was no record of the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book. It was made up in the anime The Legend of Qin. In the fourth episode of The Legend of Qin, it appeared for the first time and was given to the main character, Jing Tianming, by Chu Nan.
At that time, many people had made guesses about this book. Because the process of Jing Tianming obtaining this book was similar to the process of Zhang Liang being given a book by Duke Huang Shi in history, it was said that this "Heavenly Book of Huang Shi" was the famous military work "Three Lue"(also known as "Plain Book") in Chinese history. This was a book that combined the excellent ideas of various schools of thought and explained the principles of governing the country and using troops from a political strategy.
However, although the Three Strategy was famous, it was included in the must-read book of military martial arts, the Seven Books of Martial Arts, during the Yuanfeng period of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, it was still inferior to the Huangshi Heavenly Book. In the end, Zhang Liang revealed its origin. Its origin could be said to be exceptionally shocking.
It was said that the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book was not written by an ordinary person. Its first owner was one of the ancestors of China, the first ancestor of humanity, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.
In ancient times, the God of War, Chiyou, harmed the common people, and the common people suffered. Xuanyuan led his people to fight against Chiyou on this land. However, the Chiyou Clan was born to be good at fighting, and Xuanyuan Clan was no match for them. They were surrounded by Chiyou and his 81 brothers and were in a desperate situation. At this critical moment, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan was moved by the heavens and received their help. The Nine Heavenly Maiden bestowed the Heavenly Book to Emperor Huang Xuanyuan. After Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan obtained the Heavenly Book, he comprehended the secrets in it and obtained a magical power. Finally, he managed to turn the tide and defeat Chi You and his 81 brothers. Peace and vitality were restored to the earth.
And this Heavenly Book was thus named the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book. Yellow represented the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. Stone is earth, and Xuanyuan's virtue is earth.
Later, at the end of the Shang Dynasty, Jiang Ziya, who assisted King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, in destroying the Shang Dynasty, was the second owner of the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book. Jiang Ziya knew astronomy and geography, and he was good at arranging troops and formations. He was also proficient in Qimen and Dun Jia because he comprehended the Tomes of Arcane on Mount Qi. Because of this, the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book was also known as the Book of Taigong.
The two owners were both peerless talents who had been able to go through heaven and earth. This book naturally became a true Heavenly Book, the Book of God. Legend had it that through it, mortals in the world were qualified to peek into the unfathomable secrets of the heavens. By comprehending it, mortals would be able to obtain magical power to turn the wheel of the era that determined the fate of the world.
However, this Heavenly Book would disappear during times of peace. When the world was in chaos, this Heavenly Book would appear again. Therefore, most people only knew his name, but had never seen him in person.
Even so, there were countless people in the world who spent their entire lives searching for this rare book, hoping to obtain the power to control the world through it.
After arriving in this world, Ji Yun learned more secrets of this world through the Yin-Yang School. He knew more about the extraordinariness of the Yellowstone Heavenly Book, and he also understood the meaning behind this book and its great use. Among the countless people who were looking for this book, there were supreme beings in all fields, such as the first emperor of Huaxia, Ying Zheng, who was about to unify the Central Plains, and the mysterious and powerful Yin-Yang School's BOSS, Eastern Emperor Taiyi...
Ji Yun knew the plot, so he knew that the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book was in Chu Nan Gong's hands. One of the important reasons he came this time was to have a look at this rare book.
However, he did not expect that Chu Nan Gong would actually place this Heavenly Book that everyone in the world desired on a few tables! Although there were not many people in the world who knew about this book, and even fewer people had the ability to steal or snatch this book from Chu Nan's public house, this was too casual. This was Ji Yun's initial thought. When he saw this scene just now, he really couldn't remain calm, which was why his expression was so ugly.
However, after calming down and thinking about it, Ji Yun had a guess." Chu Nan Gong knew that I would come, so he did pretend to sleep on purpose. He was sure that I wouldn't wait outside and would come in directly." Then he must have done all of this on purpose, deliberately placing this book on the most conspicuous table. But…"
"Even if Chu Nan had predicted all of this, including his own actions, it can be explained by foresight. But we have never met before, so how did he know that I was interested in the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book? What makes you so sure that I can recognize this Heavenly Book?”
Ji Yun knew a little about Chu Nan Gong before this. This old man had an extremely powerful " foresight " ability. Compared to the Moon Goddess, who needed to observe the stars or people's faces to divine their fate, Ji Yun didn't know what his " foresight " ability relied on, but it was undoubtedly stronger. However, he had never thought that this kind of power had far exceeded Ji Yun's imagination. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was heaven-defying.
"Is it really right to look for Chu Nan Gong this time?”
For a moment, Ji Yun felt an indescribable panic. His back was already drenched in cold sweat, and his right hand that was holding the book unconsciously tightened.
Xing Hun and Great Si Ming only realized that something was wrong when they heard the " gurgling " sound coming from the tightly clenched scroll. They looked at Ji Yun's right hand that was holding the scroll and realized that his fingers were slightly pale. How could the two of them know what had happened? They could only call out to Young Master uneasily.
"I'm fine." Ji Yun let out a heavy breath." All of you, find a place to sit down first. It will probably be a while before Senior Nan Gong wakes up."”
After saying that, Ji Yun put the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book on a few tables and closed his eyes to rest.
Since you're here, you should take it easy. He had to face what should happen.
