Chapter 608: There Is a Lunatic on the Mountain of Books

Prince Jiang also saw that Xiang Chen didn't like him. He thought, anyway, the situation is unclear, Ba Qing's attitude is ambiguous, and it's not easy for him to go to the door to snatch her. There are still several days to go, so why not go to find Shu Kuangtu first?

This time, he saw another "earth" tripod on the rooftop of Yunding, and he was more convinced that there were at least eight of them, and they had a great history.

Especially those ancient characters related to the tripod really tickled his heart.

Shu Kuangtu lived in Bazhong Shushan, which was not too far from here. If it went smoothly, it would take four or five days to go back and forth. If he took Xiaobai, it would naturally be faster.

So he made up his mind to go first.

When Xiang Chen heard that his "good brother" was going to Bazhong for a tour, he agreed without thinking, and sent him away with a sedan chair with music and music.

He was always so unpopular, and Master Jiang was also very speechless.

He was unhappy and directly rejected Ying Wuming's request to stay and learn from him.

In fact, Jiang Fan originally planned to keep Ying Wuming, after all, Yin Yue was so happy that she didn't let Ying Wuming go out for the past two days. Although he didn't know how the couple fought, Jiang Fan didn't want to be a bad guy.

But Xiang Chen's attempt to keep Ying Wuming reminded Jiang Fan that he couldn't keep him, otherwise it would be troublesome if he was exposed.

Jiang Fan didn't ride Xiaobai either, as this kind of world's rapid hidden points might be useful.

He left Ding Shaoan, Lu Hanting and others to make some arrangements. Jiang Fan drove a light carriage and only took Ying Wuming and Yaoguang on the road.

Ying Wuming drove the carriage, and Yaoguang sat in the carriage drunkenly and told Mr. Jiang about the book mountain.

To be honest, Jiang Fan really didn't know much about this book maniac, one of the four best in Nanchu. Not to mention him, there were probably few people in the world who knew him.

The main reason was that this person almost never went down the mountain, and there were only two people who had met him.

"...This book maniac..." The sloppy scholar shook his head: "He is not easy to get along with. His temperament is changeable and unpredictable. Sometimes he is as gentle as water, sometimes he is as hot as fire, sometimes he is free and unrestrained, sometimes he is sarcastic, just like the weather in June, changing at any time."

Jiang Fan was quite surprised: "You really deserve to be called Bai Xiaosheng, you know a lot."

The sloppy scholar lowered his eyelids: "Well...well...Bai Xiaosheng, I know more than others..."

"Then you tell me, what is the origin of the book maniac?"

The sloppy scholar burped, thought about it for a while, and then said to Jiang Fan: "Speaking of this person, he is quite famous. You already know her old man, who is the contemporary Tianshi of Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao."

Jiang Fan nodded. Of course he knew this. Not only did he know this, but he also knew that she was Gu Qingshan's mother.

Thinking about it, it's no wonder that Gu Shusheng also practiced the Book Sword Dao.

So he asked: "Her father is a heavenly master, where is her son?"

"That little bastard... who knows about that kid, what do you care about her son?"

Afterwards, after his introduction, Jiang Fan understood. When Zhang Lao Tianshi was young, he was born in Shushan and loved to practice calligraphy. As a result, when he was copying a Taoist scripture, he found that he had another love.

So, he simply threw away his pen and entered the Taoist sect.

And the old Tianshi had no children, so he passed Shushan to his only daughter, Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan had a few big fights with him because of this, and even went to Longhu Mountain, but the old Tianshi was as determined as iron and never returned home. So from then on, he changed his name to Zhang Kuang.

And this person is just a book madman. Since the Tianshi left home, she finally showed her book madness completely. Since then, she has closed Shushan, accompanied by tens of thousands of books in Shushan, writing and splashing ink all day long, living alone in seclusion.

Jiang Fan was curious. If so, where did this poor Gu Qingshan come from?

The sloppy scholar was particularly impatient with his question: "I say, why are you so concerned about her private life? I don't know where she got a son from."

Jiang Fan's attitude towards him was strange. Why did he get upset whenever this matter was mentioned?

"I say, what on earth are you going to do in Shushan?"

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and took out a rubbing from his arms: "I heard that Shushan is one of the three places with the most books in the world, and there must be a lot of ancient books. I just want her to help me look at this kind of text."

The sloppy scholar took it and looked at it with some curiosity: "... This... This seems to be a text that is older than the Phoenix Dynasty..."

Jiang Fan was stunned: "Do you recognize it?"

The sloppy scholar shook his head: "I have heard of it, but I can't understand it. This kind of text was born in ancient times and was engraved on bells and tripods for worshiping heaven and earth, so it was called bell and tripod inscriptions by later generations. It is estimated that no more than two or three people can recognize it so far."

Jiang Fan knew the difficulty. In order to identify this kind of text, he compared and referenced countless ancient books, but still didn't recognize a few. You have to know that he was a professional liberal arts student in his previous life. "Do you think Zhang Kuang can know him?"

The sloppy scholar frowned: "It's hard to say... That shrew... That shrewish woman has a strange temper, but there are many ancient books in her home, so she might know."

Jiang Fan said: "From what you said, the book madman has a changeable personality and is afraid of not being able to meet people."

The sloppy scholar snorted: "Nine times out of ten, I advise you to be prepared to be rejected. In the past twenty years, I haven't heard of anyone who can get on the Book Mountain."

Jiang Fan laughed: "If it doesn't work, break in."

The sloppy scholar glanced at him: "What do you think the Book Mountain is? There is not only one book madman, but also three hundred book guards, plus a father of Zhang Laodao. Let alone other things, this old monster was in the holy realm half a century ago. Are you so bold?"

Ah? Jiang Fan was slightly surprised. The old Taoist priest is good enough, and he still has a father?

The sloppy scholar said: "Not to mention that the entire Book Mountain is a big formation. Once it is activated, even the Great Sage will not be able to escape the doom. How can you two get through it?"

Jiang Fan couldn't help laughing dryly: "I was just joking... uh... no, aren't we three?"

The sloppy scholar waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm not a human being. I don't plan to go up and offend that woman. If you want to go, you go."

Jiang Fan looked at him a little strangely: "You guy... not quite right..."

The sloppy scholar muttered a few words and took a few sips of wine with the wine gourd.

"I advise you to think about how to knock on the door. In addition, after you go up, don't do two things. First, don't mention Zhang Laodao. Second, if you are lucky enough to go up, don't move any grass or trees, and be careful not to move the books."

After that, he leaned against the carriage with the wine gourd and fell asleep.

Jiang Fan looked at him, squinting his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Two days later, he came to the foot of the Book Mountain.

The scene in front of him was very unexpected. This Book Mountain was not only extremely steep, but also high and densely forested, with overgrown weeds, and there was no way up the mountain.

Only two words were engraved on a large stone at the foot of the mountain that had experienced countless vicissitudes of life and wind and rain - Book Mountain.

Logically, this should be the mountain gate, but unfortunately there was no road.

Jiang Fan was very puzzled. It was said that this situation was not difficult for warriors like him and Ying Wuming, but you couldn't fly up the mountain, it seemed a bit disrespectful.

The sloppy scholar went to find a place to sleep with the gourd in his arms. Before leaving, he just told them not to barge in. You can knock on the door by hitting the stone with metal seven times.

But whether they were allowed to go up the mountain was another matter.
