Chapter 66: The Demon Book Appears
The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, Long Wushuang let out a sigh of relief, Bao Ruichun was afraid that he would be discovered, he was even more afraid that he would be discovered, once exposed, he would harm others and himself, and the head of his childhood friend would probably have to move, and what else to talk about to win His Majesty's favor.
He put his mind down, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, he eagerly asked the magic bead, "Magic bead, do you feel it?"
Orb: "You're so whimsical, how can you be everywhere." ”
When Long Wushuang heard this, he was disappointed: "Is there really not, according to the clues, there must be one in the palace." ”
Orb: "Where the hell did you get the clue?"
Long Wushuang asked the immortal talisman again: "Immortal talisman, is there one?"
Xianfu also gave him a disappointed answer: "No, wake up and go out, don't hurt your friends." ”
Long Wushuang was extremely disappointed, if the Yu family had the wings of Qingluan, it should logically fall into the royal family, if the palace did not have it, then where would it be, forget it, let's leave quickly: "Demon bead, wake me up." ”
As the magic bead exerted force in his body, as if it really knocked on his head, he woke up, and the whole sleep time was very short, as if he had taken a nap.
He crawled out from under the bed, tidied up his clothes, listened to the movement, picked up the lantern, opened the door, flashed out, walked a few steps, and when he reached the road outside, he realized that his lantern was extinguished, and he had no fire, so he had to make a lantern without a lamp, and in the darkness he remembered the way he had just entered, and groped all the way through.
But the walls of the palace seemed to be near, but it was far away, and there were rockeries here, gardens there, and winding water and small bridges, and he had forgotten how he had just come, and as he was walking, he was confronted by a group of patrolling guards, and one of the leaders stopped him: "Hey, what are you doing when the black light is blind and the fire is not lit?"
He pretended to rub his nose and covered half of his face: "It's blown out by the wind, it's okay, I can see it." ”
The leader didn't let him go: "Stand up, why are you alone?"
Long Wushuang: "I have a stomachache and went to a thatched house, and everyone has gone away after coming out, so I'm going to chase them now." ”
The leader looked at him carefully: "Why haven't I seen you, which detachment?"
Long Wushuang was a little impatient, and simply pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger: "Why do you have so many problems, are you responsible for delaying the patrol", he ignored him and walked away.
The leader was stunned, watched him walk away, and asked his companion, "Who is this kid, why are you so arrogant?"
Some people thought he was familiar: "How do I think I've seen him somewhere?"
The leader: "Forget it, forget it, let's go, go back and settle accounts with him, dog, so arrogant." ”
After Long Wushuang got rid of the patrol guards, he walked forward, but from time to time he always encountered various teams of guards, he was afraid that he would be recognized and cause unnecessary trouble, so when he saw them, he took a detour to dodge, and as a result, he didn't get out of the palace for a long time, but walked deeper and deeper, although he was far away from the harem, but he was also far away from the palace wall.
As I was walking, there was a tall building in front of me, with lanterns hanging high, and above the gate there was a plaque with three vigorous characters on it: Library Building.
He frowned, how did he get to the library, how could he get out, looked left and right, was measuring which way to go, but a patrol team came from front and back, coming towards him with lanterns.
He quickly dodged, jumped into the corridor of the library, gently pushed open a door, and hid inside. Originally, he just wanted to wait for the gang to leave before going out, but who knew that the two teams of patrol guards actually walked straight to the door of the library building and stopped, lined up, the lanterns were bright, and they didn't leave.
He was puzzled, there were a few more people in front of the library, one of them was the eldest prince Qi Yu, he took the two of them to push open the door in the middle of the library, walked in, circled around the rows of bookshelves a few times, and finally didn't know where to find a box, opened, took out a few pages, and listened to him say: "Master, these are the pages." ”
One of them took the pages, sat down, looked at them in the light for a while, and asked, "Where did these pages come from, Your Highness?"
The eldest prince Qi Yu: "When I searched the Yu family's property a few days ago, I found such a box in a secret room, there were only a few pages in it, the text was very strange, but it was neatly written, Yu Huaide used such a beautiful box to preserve them, so I thought it must be a precious document, but I couldn't read it, so I asked the master to come and try it." ”
The master read all the pages back and forth, but he didn't see anything famous, he handed a few pages to another person next to him: "Sir, I am lonely and unheard, I don't know anything, what does Mr. think?"
The gentleman in his mouth is the head of the royal family and the prince of the country, and he is also the Taishan Beidou-level figure in the literary circle of the drum country today, he took the pages and glanced at them: "I am proficient in a variety of languages of various ethnic groups, but I have never seen such a strange thing, in my opinion, this is not a text, but more like a symbol." ”
The eldest prince Qi Yu: "Symbols, what symbols?"
The gentleman: "Has Your Highness ever heard of the Magic Codex?"
Qi Yu and the master were taken aback, and his face suddenly became serious: "Mr. said it was the Demon Codex?"
Mr. Na: "I'm just a little skeptical, the legend "Magic Book" is an incomprehensible book of heaven, composed of various symbols, but I haven't seen it specifically, and it remains to be further researched and interpreted in the future." ”
Next door to them, Long Wushuang heard their conversation clearly, when he heard the words "Demon Book", he was no longer calm, the demon blood in his body was boiling, and he wanted to rush out and grab it immediately, but he held it down, if he came by force and alarmed the palace guards, he was afraid that it would cause a bloody battle, which would not be conducive to his own access to the treasure book of the Demon Dao Supreme.
Next door, the eldest prince took the pages and looked at them again and again for a while: "Forget it, let's seal it for the time being, and I'll ask Mr. to study it later." ”
Long Wushuang hid next door, heard them get up, packed up the box, and then several people went out of the door of the library building, and the guards all withdrew, he breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly pulled the door out, dodged to the middle door, opened the door, and hid in.
But after the man was gone, there was no light in the house, and the light was not enough just because of the few lanterns hanging on the cornice outside, so he reluctantly searched for a while, remembering the movement of the eldest prince just now, and judging where he had put the box.
But after looking around, there were only books on the rows of bookshelves, where did the boxes come from, could it be that there were places like secret doors and so on? He carefully investigated one place after another, looking for possible mechanisms, until he found Dongfang Lubai, the sky was about to dawn, and he did not find the slightest clue, and his heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
But at this time, it was useless to be in a hurry, he shrank in a corner and tried to calm himself down, this supreme treasure of the demon world, it is impossible to find, since he has the opportunity to obtain, he can't give up no matter what, he must find it, he must find it!
He waited until dawn, when the light in the room was very sufficient, and then he got up again, and while listening to the movement outside the door, he started a new round of search again.
But when he rummaged through the bookshelf, he still couldn't find any mechanism dark room, he was a little confused, according to the previous movements of the eldest prince, it seemed that he took out the box very easily, it should be in the place where he could easily get it, is there anything else he has to ignore?
His gaze swept over and over again in the room, and finally focused on the desk, and all the other places were carefully searched, but he never found this empty desk, which would not be hidden under the desk, right?
He walked to the desk and sat down, touched the table, and suddenly leaned down, and his eyes swept over, only to find that there was a small handle in the corner of the table. He grabbed the handle and pulled it lightly, and there was a hidden drawer slowly protruding, he quickly got up, and when he reached the front of the drawer, there was indeed a beautiful box inside, only five inches square.
His heart jumped wildly, it should be it, he hurriedly took out the box, opened the lid, there were a few pages in it, he excitedly took out the paper and looked at it for a while, it was indeed like what the master said, this strange text I don't recognize at all, yes, it must be it, but whether it is the "Magic Book" or not, no matter, take it away first, and then ask the magic bead again.
He put a few pages back in the box, hugged it, went to the door, and secretly looked out, the library is usually a place for members of the royal family to come to read books, although no one came at this time, but it was dawn outside, how could he get out of this palace? He looked back at the inside of the library again, if someone came in, I am afraid it would be difficult to hide.
After hesitating, he still quietly went out with the box, wearing the clothes of the palace guards, trying to see if he could get out in the dark, anyway, he got the pages, even if he didn't come in vain, it was really a big deal to kill out.
