"Where did the people go?"

Halfway up the mountainside near the Siguo Cliff in Huashan, Liu Xing was looking around. ▲∴, more than ten minutes ago, the six masters and apprentices of Fengmanlou hurriedly escaped, and Liu Xing chased after breaking the iron door, but found that the other party had disappeared.

It was the middle of the night, and the light on the mountain was dim, so it was not easy to find.

"There's a cave. ”

Skimming through a grove of trees, Liu Xing found a cave on the north side of Siguo Cliff, and there were footprints outside the mouth of the cave, which showed that there were people nearby.

"Could it be that this is a windy lair?"

Liu Xing walked into the cave.

There was a white fire in the depths of the cave, Liu Xing approached quickly, and after a while, a spacious hall came into view, and in the corner of the hall there was a black iron cage, and several people were imprisoned in the iron cage, including men and women, old and young.

If you look closely, the person imprisoned in the iron cage is the top ten writers of the novel competition!

Among them, including Ouyang Wen, Wu Guoqian and others.

At this time, these writers are gathering together to discuss the topic of how to create forbidden books. In order to save their lives, each of them has created several novels with the theme of overthrowing the Reading Alliance.

Apart from these writers, there were no other people in the cave.

Liu Xing stepped forward and asked a few questions, and found that these writers also did not know the whereabouts of Feng Manlou.

"This brother, we are writers imprisoned here by Feng Manlou, and he forced us to write forbidden books, and if we didn't write well, he would kill us. Ouyang Wen pleaded with Liu Xing, "Can you find a way to save us out?"

Wu Guoqian sighed and said: "Ouyang Wen, don't be whimsical, this iron cage only has a key to Feng Manlou." How could this little brother be able to open it?"

Hearing this, several writers in the iron cage all looked solemn. I know that this iron cage is comparable to death row, and it is difficult to fly with wings......

Bang!

Then. A sharp sound suddenly sounded, and a sword qi shot out, and the entire iron cage trembled violently.

Bang Dang!

Metal falls to the ground.

The writers looked back and were surprised to find that the iron lock of the iron cage had been cut off!

"Why is the iron lock broken?" Wu Guoqian looked puzzled, looked around, and found that the middle-aged man (Liu Xing) just now had disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone realized that the iron lock was probably broken by the middle-aged man.

"What kind of person is this middle-aged man, who can even open the iron lock?"

"Maybe it's the hidden master in the forbidden book area!"

……

After leaving the cave, Liu Xing continued to track Feng Manlou and the others near Siguo Cliff.

Meanwhile. As the leader of the SWAT team, he mobilized more than 400 SWAT teams to arrive in Huashan and prepared to conduct a carpet search of the entire mountain.

The search lasted from midnight to early morning, and the SWAT team searched almost every location in Huashan.

Disappointingly, in the end, Feng Manlou was not found.

He is like the world has evaporated.

Liu Xing suspected that there might be a secret passage or secret room in Huashan, so he ordered the SWAT team to stay at the foot of Huashan Mountain and monitor it 24 hours a day.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the search was still not progressing, and Liu Xing decided to go to Blackwood Cliff first. Give Hua Yingxue the poison that is cold and icy.

……

Huashan, underground secret room.

"Luckily we were fast, and if we were too late, we would have died. "The wind is full of real estate sitting on the floor. His face was pale, and there was a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

After being hit by "Six Veins Divine Sword", Feng Manlou has no worries about his life for the time being. But he was already seriously injured.

"Lao Feng, who is this anonymous writer. Martial arts are actually higher than you?" the old bookworm asked puzzledly, "The Feng family's 'Dugu Nine Swords' is unparalleled in the world. How could you lose to an unknown writer?"

Feng Manlou let out a long sigh: "I originally thought that "Dugu Nine Swords" would be able to stand alone in the world, but I didn't expect that there were people outside the world, and there was a sky outside the sky. Fortunately, I didn't go up to Blackwood Cliff in the first place, otherwise I would have been captured by him. It's just that I still can't figure out what the origin of this unknown writer is, and how martial arts can be so terrifying?"

Old Bookworm B said: "It is said that a mysterious man named the Black Shadow Man has recently appeared in Tianhai City, who is elusive and omnipotent. Could this unknown writer be the Shadow Man?"

"If it's really the Shadow Man, things will be in trouble. No one knows his identity so far, and we don't even know who he is, so we can't guard against it!" the old bookworm speculated, "The black shadow man appeared in the forbidden book area, I'm afraid he came for the book tomb of Heimu Cliff and the Wordless Book of Heaven, right?"

"The Dark Shadow Man has already passed the ninth level of the palace, and the "Wordless Book of Heaven" is estimated to have been taken by him. With our current strength, we are not his opponent at all, and the matter of "Wordless Book from Heaven" can only be discussed in the long run. After a pause, the wind filled the corridor, "In three days, the door of the forbidden book area will be opened, let's discuss how to escape first." ”

Everyone nodded.

……

Blackwood Bluff.

In the secret room, Liu Xing picked up Hua Yingxue, who was unconscious on the bed, and asked her to take a white pill, which was the antidote to Han Bingsan.

The antidote was immediate.

A few minutes later, most of the cold ice dispersion toxicity was dissipated, and in the haze, Hua Yingxue woke up.

"Why am I here?" Hua Yingxue looked around suspiciously, "What's going on?"

"You've been poisoned and you've been in a coma for over a week. ”

"More than a week?" Hua Yingxue was startled, moved her hands and feet, and realized that her limbs seemed to be a little stiff, thinking of something, "You saved me?"

Liu Xing said: "If you want to thank me, help me do one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

". ”

"?" Hua Yingxue willow bent her eyebrows.

Liu Xing explained: "Let's play a song with the piano and flute ensemble and close the sound absorbing wall. ”

Hua Yingxue suddenly realized and asked, "The sound-absorbing wall is open?"

"Let's go, I'll show you there. ”

"Hmm. ”

Hua Yingxue got out of bed, left the secret room with Liu Xing, and came to the ninth floor of the palace, only to see a white crystal palace appear in front of her.

"This ...... Is it a book coffin?" Hua Yingxue's eyes showed surprise, she didn't expect the book coffin to be so big, and looked at the light screen. He asked, "This coffin can't be opened, can it?"

"There is no password. Of course it can't be opened. In order to fight for this coffin, quite a few people have died. Liu Xing said. "Now that the sound absorbing wall is open, I'm afraid more people will be eager to try it. In order to avoid further disputes, we are now closing the sound absorbing wall. ”

Hua Yingxue nodded slightly.

The sound absorbing wall is built according to the melodic structure of "Smiling Proud Jianghu Song", and when the score is played out in an ensemble from beginning to end, the sound absorbing wall will be opened. If you play the score upside down from end to end again, the sound bar will turn off again.

Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue came to the pavilion on the eighth floor of the palace, one sat in front of the guqin, and the other picked up the jade flute, ready to play a song "Smiling Proud Jianghu Song" with the piano flute.

This time they're going to play the piece backwards.

It is very difficult to play the score backwards. It requires a secondary conversion of the score. Fortunately, Hua Yingxue has a solid foundation in music, and after practicing a few times, she can basically play proficiently.

So, the two began to play the piano and flute ensemble.

The sound of the piano is strange and weird, the sound of Xiao is elegant and quiet, and the sound of the piano flute is high and low, looming, complementing each other, and it is natural. The fit is seamless.

As the music of the piano and flute wafted through the garden, the sound absorbing wall vibrated slightly, closing little by little.

Zheng!

When the music ends. The sound-absorbing wall has been restored to its original state, closed again, and the coffin is once again enclosed in jade.

There is a large collection of books in the coffin. But Liu Xing couldn't take these books with him at all. He had already scanned a few of the novels he needed into his computer, as well as the others. Can only continue to exist in the forbidden book zone.

Liu Xing removed his hands from the guqin and looked at Hua Yingxue opposite. saw Hua Yingxue, a pair of eyes as beautiful as stars also staring at him.

The moment their eyes met, Hua Yingxue hurriedly said goodbye to her little face, and her cheeks flushed slightly like cherries.

Because of the novel "The Piano King of the Black Shadow Man", Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue have indirectly completed a love that transcends time and space, and the two have long been in love and have a heart.

Just now, when they played "Smiling Proud Jianghu Song" in the piano and flute ensemble, they both sensed each other's hearts.

There was silence in the pavilion in the garden.

Both of them were silent, making silent exchanges.

"It's time for me to go. After a while, Liu Xing took the lead in speaking.

Hearing this, Hua Yingxue's eyebrows frowned slightly, she already understood something, her soft gaze fell on Liu Xing, hesitated for a while, and asked softly, "Will we meet again in the future?"

Liu Xing said: "Do you want to meet again?"

Hua Yingxue asked again: "Is my opinion valid?"

Liu Xing said: "You can try." ”

The thin cherry lips pursed, and after a while, Hua Yingxue said seriously: "If I can, I hope I will have the opportunity to learn piano skills from you in the future." ”

Liu Xingdao: "Your piano skills are already very good. ”

"But ......," Hua Yingxue said, "compared to you, it's far behind." ”

Liu Xing praised: "You are a very self-aware girl. ”

"......," Hua Yingxue asked in a low voice, "You think I'm stupid too, don't you?"

Liu Xingdao: "A woman's intelligence and beauty are often inversely proportional, and it is normal for you to be stupid." ”

Hua Yingxue covered her mouth and smiled.

Liu Xing reminded: "In three days, the novel contest will be over, the door of the forbidden book area will be opened, and at that time, you will leave directly by train." ”

Hua Yingxue frowned: "However, I am now a wanted criminal by the police......"

"It doesn't matter. Liu Xing said, "You just do what I say." ”

Hua Yingxue was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly: "Well, I understand." ”。

"I have to go, goodbye. After speaking, Liu Xing turned around and left.

Hua Yingxue wanted to stop him in her heart, but she couldn't open her mouth, she just silently watched Liu Xing leave until his figure disappeared from sight.

When Liu Xing walked away, Hua Yingxue was still in the pavilion, staring at the guqin on the stone table alone in a daze......

……

In the next three days, Liu Xing changed back to the identity of the captain of the SWAT team and continued to hunt down Feng Manlou in the forbidden book area.

It's just that in the end, nothing was found, and Feng Manlou never showed up again.

Three days passed, and the month-long novel contest finals officially ended, and Liu Xing changed back to Fu Changding's identity and prepared to leave the forbidden book area.

He originally thought about continuing to stay in the forbidden book area to find Feng Manlou, but the exit of the forbidden book area is rarely opened several times a year, if he misses this opportunity. If you want to leave the forbidden zone, you may have to wait a few months, if not longer.

After weighing it again. Liu Xing decided to leave the forbidden book area first.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Xing came to the exit of the forbidden book area. The people who traveled with him were nine writers such as Hua Yingxue, Ouyang Wen, and Wu Guoqian.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the door to the exit in front slowly opened, and after a while, a black train came out and stopped in front of everyone.

Immediately afterward, more than a hundred police officers in black uniforms descended from the black train, holding black laser guns in their hands, guarding the exit.

This group of black-clad policemen is the highest-level police force in the Reading Alliance-the Book Police Force!

The Book Police Unit is responsible for only the most secret, important, and dangerous missions of the Reading Alliance. Usually rarely shows up. It's not often that the book police team appears in the forbidden book zone today.

"Your race in the forbidden book zone is over, all get on board. "In the book police team, a middle-aged policeman with a grim look walked over, he was the captain of the book police team.

Ten writers, including Liu Xing, Hua Yingxue, Ouyang Wen, and Wu Guoqian, took the black train.

Soon after, the train started, drove into the tunnel, and headed for Tianhai City at full speed.

Halfway through, Ouyang Wen, Wu Guoqian and others in the carriage were all worried. They have become wanted criminals in the forbidden book zone, and they have written some banned books against the Reading Alliance, and I don't know what the Reading Alliance will do with them.

In the midst of uneasiness, the train successfully arrived in Tianhai City.

Get out of the car. Ten writers, including Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue, were immediately taken to the dean's office of the Yufeng Novel Academy and met with Du Hefeng, the dean of the School of Fiction.

Liu Xing met Du Hefeng for the first time, but he was no stranger to Du Hefeng. In the "Secret Archives of Important Figures in the Chinese State" compiled by Jin Santong. There is detailed information about Du Hefeng.

"Congratulations on your successful completion of the finals of the Forbidden Books Zone. "When we meet. Dean Du Hefeng congratulated with a smile.

The writers were a little confused, so Wu Guoqian said, "Dean Du." We are involved in criminal activities in the forbidden area, all out of desperation......"

Du Hefeng seemed to know what he wanted to say, suppressed his gesture, and interrupted: "I know all about your affairs in the forbidden book area. Rest assured, the Reading Alliance will not hold you accountable. What you encountered in the forbidden book area was originally a plot of the forbidden book area planned by the Reading Alliance in advance. ”

"Plot?" everyone was stunned.

"Yes. Du Hefeng said, "The Forbidden Book Zone, like other areas in Story City, has a specific plot, and you have only completed the plot of the Forbidden Book Zone this month. This plot is the ultimate test for you, not only to test your creative ability, but also to test your true heart. Overall, everyone is doing very well. ”

After listening, everyone was still a little confused, could it be that the experience of the forbidden book area was all made up in advance?

How is this possible?

Hua Yingxue asked: "Dean Du, my sister was poisoned, and I was forced to enter the forbidden book area to participate in the finals, is this also fake?"

Du Hefeng smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, your sister Hua Qingxue's poison has been resolved, her body has already recovered, and you will be able to see her in a while." ”

"Really?" Hua Yingxue was a little incredulous.

"In short, your experience in the Forbidden Books Zone is just a unique storytelling experience. Du Hefeng said, "As for the novels you wrote in the forbidden book zone, they have been sent to the jury of the novel competition, and they will evaluate these novels, and your specific ranking will be announced next week." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Ouyang Wen said: "Dean Du, the novels we write are all banned books, do you also want to be selected?"

Du Hefeng smiled: "Of course." These forbidden books were written by you in the face of life and death, they are the best expression of your creative ability, and they will directly determine your ranking in the finals. ”

After Du Hefeng finished explaining the forbidden book area, ten writers, including Liu Xing, Hua Yingxue, Ouyang Wen, and Wu Guoqian, left the dean's office and walked around the campus.

From this moment on, the Joyful Cup Novel Contest has come to an end.

It's just that there are still a lot of questions in everyone's hearts: Is what happened in the forbidden book area really just a pre-arranged plot? Is it true that there was an explosion in the dungeon in the forbidden book area and some people died?

"Either way, we escaped. Wu Guoqian said happily, "The experience of this forbidden book area is really thrilling, and I almost lost my life." ”

"It's surprising that the finals went in this way. One writer said, "Then again, the final ranking of this year's novel contest is based on the forbidden books we wrote, who do you think will win the championship?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"I think Wu Guoqian's "Against the Current" is good and promising. Another writer said.

Wu Guoqian waved his hand: "My "Countercurrent" was criticized by Feng Manlou miserably, and it was unbearable, but I think Ouyang Wen's "Changing Heaven" has a good chance to win the championship. ”

Ouyang Wen shook his head: "Feng Manlou said that the "Changing Heaven" I wrote is rubbish, how can I win the championship?" After a pause, he reminded, "Have you forgotten a forbidden book?"

"You mean ......"

"108 Heroes"!" Ouyang Wen said, "This forbidden book is said to be very satisfied with the nine old bookworms such as Feng Manlou, if nothing else, "108 Heroes" should become the dark horse of this novel contest and win the championship in one fell swoop. It's just that who wrote this "108 Heroes"?"

The writers looked at each other......
