Chapter 18: Mystery
Heavenly Array Strange Gate.
Xiao Ruyi returned to her residence and looked down at her grizzled appearance, as if her eyes were about to erupt with fire.
Hiss β
Xiao Ruyi clutched her stomach, and the pain was like fire.
The two teacups on the table were slapped away by Xiao Ruyi and smashed on the ground.
"Damn!"
It seemed that the movement was a little louder, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then there was a knock at the door, "Knock knock!
Xiao Ruyi suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath and said, "Come in." β
The door opened, and in walked a young man of seventeen or eighteen, who looked so ordinary, that he might not even be recognizable if he was thrown into the crowd. The man made a gesture to Xiao Ruyi, and then saw Xiao Ruyi's appearance covered in soil, and couldn't help asking.
"Senior brother. What's wrong with you, brother?"
Xiao Ruyi nodded, which was considered a return gift, but did not answer.
The young man's eyes rolled, and he was quite indignant, "Who is not long-sighted who dares to provoke you, senior brother, is it really too long?" Please tell me, junior brother, I will definitely help you avenge!"
Xiao Ruyi looked at the young man with a righteous face, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "I don't know the name of that person, but--the strength is quite strong, at least the peak of the Wang Realm, Senior Brother Yu, I want to know how you want to avenge me?
The young man's name is Yu Mang, he is the youngest son of the sect master of the Heavenly Array Qimen, he has average cultivation talent, but he is good at intrigue and trickery, he is ruthless and vicious, and he can be regarded as a character who is not easy to mess with in the Heavenly Array Mansion City.
Yu Mang's face changed instantly, he coughed twice, and then returned to his smiling appearance, "Where, Senior Brother Xiao said that he was laughing - since this is the case, Senior Brother Xiao will have a good rest, Senior Brother I will not bother and leave." β
Xiao Ruyi also smiled, "Don't send it." β
Squeak - bang!
The wooden door was closed again, and after Yu Mang walked out a few steps, he glanced back at the door again, "Wait, as soon as the advanced exam is over, it will be your death date!"
And Xiao Ruyi in the room sighed softly, "Yu Mang is here, I'm afraid it's not a good thing!" And the resentment in his heart towards Xue Zichen's kick has become a little light, after all, Xiao Ruyi is not a narrow-minded person.
"If I can still meet you, I would like to ask you for advice, no matter who you are!" Xiao Ruyi clenched his fists and muttered to himself.
After finishing speaking, he got up, picked up all the pieces of the teacup and threw them away, and Xiao Ruyi went into the bedroom to change clothes.
Anyway, the container for the inscription of the phantom array still needs to be found.
After a day and a night of trekking, Xue Zichen and the three of them finally arrived at their destination in the morning, covering the Heavenly City, and the Heavenly Machine Pavilion was deep in the city.
The three-zhang wide stone steps swayed up, looking at it as far as the eye could see, Xue Zichen raised his eyes and looked at it for a few seconds, this Tianji Pavilion is quite majestic, and it is worthy of the name of the first pavilion in the world.
The three of them stepped on the stone steps to climb up, and although the stone steps were steep, they were not strenuous for them. At the end of the stone steps there is a quaint stone gate, which is surrounded by a faint mist, making this stone gate even more mysterious.
According to the rules of Tianji Pavilion, if you want to enter this place, you need to ring the bronze bell next to the stone door three times, and no one is exempt.
Xue Zichen gave Qiu Shaowen a look, Qiu Shaowen nodded knowingly, and then went to ring the bell. The bell rang far away, and after about half a cup of tea, the stone door was opened, and a man in a gray robe with a slanted collar came out, probably in his thirties, who seemed to be a butler or something.
The man arched his hand to Xue Zichen and the others, Xue Zichen returned the salute, and took out a letter from his jacket pocket, "The three of us were ordered to come to your pavilion today, and I have something important to ask your pavilion master." β
The gray-robed man took the letter and looked at its cover, his body trembled, and he hurriedly returned it again, making a gesture, "Everyone, please." β
The housekeeper led Xue Zichen and a few people through the scattered pavilions and corridors, and finally came to the main hall. The housekeeper walked in first, and it seemed that he had gone in to report.
After a while, there were a few hearty laughter in the main hall, and an old man with a white beard and a white brow walked out on crutches.
"Hahahaha! I can't imagine that there is such a young man in the mortal realm, it can really be described as a terrible afterlife!
It seems that this is the mysterious Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, and Xue Zichen and the three of them all bowed their hands, "Meet the Pavilion Master." β
"Okay, okay! The old man stroked his white beard, and was quite happy, and invited the three into the temple.
Although the hall is spacious, it is not luxurious at all.
The old man sat on the main seat and glanced at Xue Zichen and the others, "I don't know how many people are coming, what's the matter?"
Xue Zichen handed the letter over, "The Qi Alliance Lord ordered me to come later, but it is related to what happened in the past few days. β
The old man stroked his white beard, took the letter and looked at it, and his face gradually became serious. After a while, he spoke.
"Well, then you can come with the old man. β
The old man was on crutches and led Xue Zichen and a few people to the south, and there was a six-story pavilion in the south, which was a library building. It contains a variety of books that have been handed down from the Three Realms for thousands of years, but not all of them are available, and many have been annihilated with history.
The four of them went straight to the top floor, and the old man walked straight to the deepest bookshelf, his cane tapping rhythmically on the gray slate floor.
Whew!Whew!Whew!
Soon, there was the sound of flipping books, and Xue Zichen and the three of them stood aside with bated breath, not daring to disturb the extremely focused old man in front of them.
The old man opened his mouth as he flipped through the book.
"Looking through the historical books, for almost tens of thousands of years, there has never been a record of the revival of aura, strange!"
Xue Zichen was stunned for a moment and thought for a moment, "What about the immortals? β
The old man flipped through the ancient books, looked at them without blinking, and after a long time, shook his head, "No." β
Xue Zichen exhaled, "Things are getting more and more complicated. β
The atmosphere of the library on the sixth floor suddenly fell silent, and the old man sighed and said faintly, "Since the development of my human race, I am still ignorant of the things of the ancient times, and there is no way to do it. β
Xue Zichen looked at the ancient book in the old man's hand in a daze, and said after a while, "But this matter is so serious, it is impossible that there is no record in the bookββ"
The old man pondered, and suddenly there was a glint in his eyes, "Perhapsβit involves some secrets, and it is not known to the world at that time. β
Xue Zichen nodded in agreement, but at the same time, the stones in his heart pressed even more, and many things were always around him like a mist, wanting to grasp and explore, but it was elusive.
The four of them left the library building, and Xue Zichen didn't stay any longer, and after saying goodbye to the old pavilion master, he went down the mountain. The old man was extremely polite, and asked them to say hello to the leader of Qi Tianhe's alliance on his behalf, and Xue Zichen happily agreed.
Walking down the stone steps, Qiu Shaowen couldn't hold back his words just now, and then said, "Actually, we don't have to be too discouraged at all, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth!"
Qiu Shaowen is such a person, many times he is very arrogant, and he looks like he doesn't care, but he actually understands it better than anyone else.
Xue Zichen nodded, "That's right, but after all, it's better to prevent trouble before it happens, and no one can say what will happen in the future, the revival of the aura of the Three Realms, whether this is good or bad for us." Besides, there are two races of demons before and after who are eyeing our human race, and I am afraid that our situation will become more and more dangerous. β
As he spoke, Xue Zichen suddenly felt something, took out the jade pendant from his pocket, and saw the jade pendant flickering with a faint red light, and an extremely strange feeling was transmitted to his heart through the palm of his hand, Xue Zichen frowned, and he felt as if something in his body was about to break out.
Above the nine heavens, a thick dark cloud blocked the sun, and the whole heaven and earth seemed to dim a little.
