Contrary to Lou Xiaoyi's expectations, his mother did not show much anger. Instead, she seemed a little tired.
"Little Yi is here. Your Aunt Caihuan went out to handle some matters, which is also the mess you left behind!
I originally wanted to wait for her to come back before telling you, but since you are here, then I won't delay!
Get up and follow me! "
Lou Xiaoyi was confused as he followed his mother into the depths of the inner courtyard.
Large mansions had their own rules. It did not mean that just because Lou Xiaoyi was the little master here, he could go everywhere. At the very least, there were a few places in his mother's inner courtyard that he could not go to. One was a small temple in the inner courtyard, and the other was his father's former study.
The original Lou Xiaoyi was very obedient and very polite. He never came to these places. He could not even finish reading the books in his own large library, so how could he have time to look for books in his father's small study? In his mind, the books here must be related to the governance of the country, and he did not have any interest in them.
Now that his soul had transmigrated, he did not have any concept in this area. He did not even have any thoughts about it. He respected his mother in this life very much, and slowly began to treat himself as a real son. However, to have him treat a person who had died nearly twenty years ago as his father and respect him from the bottom of his heart was somewhat difficult. Therefore, not coming into contact with his father was the most basic idea.
The place Lou Yaoshi brought him to was Lou Sima's small study!
Although it was called a small study, it was actually not that small. It was even larger than Lou Xiaoyi's study. The furnishings were very simple, and the windows were brightly lit. At a glance, it was clear that it was regularly cleaned. The most conspicuous thing was the few large bookshelves placed along the wall. They were filled with bamboo slips, but it was impossible to tell what the contents were.
Lou Xiaoyi looked at his mother and asked doubtfully, "Mother, this is?"
Lou Yaoshi walked in front of him and touched his face that was already taller than hers. She said dotingly,
"Little Yi has grown up! Being able to cause trouble outside means that you can take care of things!
Mother will not restrain you or punish you. Because when you grow up, you always have to pay a price. What you did not have when you were young, you can make up for it when you grow up.
You just need to remember what you promised Mother … "
Lou Xiaoyi still didn't understand. Lou Yaoshi pulled him to a bookcase and pointed at a bookcase filled with bamboo slips.
"I know that Little Yi is interested in cultivation, but I don't want you to be obsessed with it. This is not only my wish, but also your father's wish!
But when Little Yi grew up, he had his own ideas. It's better to let it go than to block it. Only now do I understand this principle. I've been trying to prevent you from coming into contact with it, but in the end, there was this farce of a treasure hunt in a cave!
How could there be any treasures outside? If there really was one, how could it be your turn? It was all a lie! It was just selling a treasure map for money!
Your father doesn't approve of cultivation, not because it's useless, but because it takes up a lot of the time of a young and promising man. When he's old, most of the time, he'll be mediocre and won't benefit the country or his family.
With his status, he's only below one person and above tens of thousands of people. He's also come into contact with countless cultivators, and among them, there are many cultivation friends. Of course, he's also accumulated a lot of cultivation methods. Some were given by others, and some were seized. They're all recorded in the bamboo slips in this bookcase!
I should have destroyed these things long ago, but I can't bear to part with your father's things. Since Little Yi wants to pursue cultivation wholeheartedly, Mother will fulfill your wish and let you see what the real cultivation world is! What real cultivation is!
When you understand, when you understand, when you know that this is just the impulse of a young man, then Little Yi will still have to return to your original self. By doing so, at least your soul won't be taken away by any treasure!
Mother and your Aunt Caihuan only have you as a child. If something happens to you, how can we live on? "
Lou Xiaoyi was moved and held his mother's hand.
"Mother, don't worry. In the future, I won't easily put myself in danger. I promise!"
Lou Yaoshi let go and left. It could be said that one of her wishes had been fulfilled. She had always hidden her husband's secret stash from her son because she was afraid that he would be addicted to it. In the end, if she let him search for it himself, who knows what kind of trouble he would find. What if he was cheated by someone? What if he practiced a shady cultivation method? What if he went down the wrong path?
If that was really the case, it would be better to tell him the proper cultivation methods. When her husband was alive, he had also said that these methods were the purest Daoist teachings. It was just that they were too difficult, too time-consuming, and not suitable for large-scale promotion!
Lou Sima did not wish for this world to become a world where everyone did not produce anything, but instead pursued an ethereal immortality. This was also the most basic concept of a scholar. If the act of cultivating the Dao was only for oneself, it could not help the people. If one only took and did not give, why should one support it?
Her husband did his best to control cultivation, but her son yearned for it. What a sin!
But no matter what, her only goal now was to not let this boy blindly wander around outside. Didn't he like cultivation? Fine, I'll give it to you! Let's see how you cultivate it! Once he had tasted the hardships and started to retreat, that would truly be the end of it.
Lou Xiaoyi watched his mother leave. He knew this heavy love. If he was the original Lou Xiaoyi, he would have directly chosen not to read it!
But he wasn't!
Although his previous life was also a world where cultivation wasn't allowed, for some reason, when he came to this place, it was as if his life existed for the sake of cultivation. This was more like a kind of obsession, an obsession that had been poisoned by the messy literature of his previous life.
He didn't immediately open the book box. Instead, he quietly considered it for a long time before laughing self-deprecatingly. Then, he would just be a mortal who was afraid of death!
He gently opened the book box. Although there were often people cleaning outside, the bamboo slips in the book box were clearly a restricted area exception. A thick layer of dust covered the bamboo slips. This was the accumulation of more than ten years. These things that could change one's life just lay there quietly, accepting the ravages of time.
He found a rag in the study room. He didn't dare to touch it with water, so he just brushed the dust off the bamboo slips one by one. He was afraid that the water would affect the preservation of the bamboo slips. But it seemed that things related to cultivation shouldn't be so fragile?
There were a total of 13 bamboo slips. En, there were also some jade slips. They were neatly arranged in front of him. Lou Xiaoyi simply sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at these treasures. His emotions surged.
He had worked hard for several months and only obtained a book that didn't even have a name. There were no tools to complement it, and he didn't dare to cultivate it.
But all of this turned out to be so simple in front of his mother. It was so simple that he didn't dare to imagine it.
Just like in his previous life, he hoped to have a house in the city as a nest. In the end, the heavens directly gave him 13 houses!
