436Chapter 436: The Mystery of the Phoenix Spirit [1]
****
"Alright, you all go out, I'll rest here tonight." Chongkui waved his hand, asked Qingtong and them to leave, and blew the lamp and lay down.
This is the guest room in the courtyard, and his bed is occupied by Tan Jiu, so he naturally has to find another place.
Fortunately, the heavy house is big enough to not worry about the place to live.
After the life outside gradually decreased, Chongkui got up, changed into a black night clothes, and sneaked out.
At today's banquet in the Prime Minister's mansion, Chongfeng was happy and allowed all the guests to rest for a day, they may go home separately, or they may have already rested.
Chongkui remembers that when he came that day, several people he met talked about Feng Ling and Black Jade, and Chongfeng asked them to look for these things, there must be some record.
Chongkui soon arrived at the guest house, which was usually inhabited by doormen and was not well guarded, and was full of pavilions with books and large stacks of bamboo slips and scrolls.
Walking past from room to room, without any defense, what she was looking for couldn't be here!
Finally, there was a faint figure walking in front of him, and Chongkui paused for a moment and found that it was not a master, but just an ordinary guard in the house.
Chongfeng's matter was very secretive, and no one knew what Feng Ling and Black Jade were, so he didn't know what he was looking for at all, so the tight defense would arouse suspicion.
It just so happens that it's a headache to deal with the masters.
"It's so cold, it's going to be winter."
"Yes, it's been cold lately, I'm afraid it will be very cold this winter, change the fire tonight, go drink some wine."
"Yes, it's useless to guard this broken academy."
The guards also chatted loosely, without a sense of vigilance.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the window was blown open with a 'bang' and hit the wall.
Several of the guards were startled and turned their heads away, and the windows were slowly swaying.
"Did anything go in just now?"
"How is it possible, it's the wind! How can there be such a speed? ”
"Also, it's all worthless broken books, who would be interested?"
One of the guards walked up, pulled the window over and closed it, and went back to talking.
And they don't know that there are really people in this world who come and go like ghosts.
Chongkui was already standing in the house at this moment.
It was pitch black all around, and she couldn't see anything, so she was covered by bookshelves, and Chongkui quietly pulled out a thumb-sized pearl of the night, which was buckled from the bronze mirror in her room.
The light of the night pearl is very soft, and the faint blue light can only illuminate the large area of the palm, and it will not attract the attention of the outside.
She used the pearl of the night to shine through the bamboo slips on the bookshelf, scroll by scroll, some ancient texts were recorded in parchment rolls and linen, and some of them were old and decayed, and they had to be carefully touched.
Finally, I saw a few familiar old words on a piece of parchment.
Chongkui hurriedly took it down and carefully identified it, these words are not common now, it seems that they have a history of thousands of years, the surface is blurred, and the handwriting is a little unclear.
But the above words are vaguely recognizable, relatively simple, and no matter how the font evolves, it seems that it will not change too much.
For example, the word 'nine', such as the word 'phoenix', seems to have the appearance of a bird in it.
The obscure ancient text is completely incomprehensible, but it is a long list, and it should be important information.
