Chapter 58: The Chamber of Secrets
Groove β
Suddenly woke up from the dream, Xie Lingxu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead after realizing it, and was stunned for a while......
The tragic death of the king of Shang and the gloomy face under Shen Sulong's robe are all vividly remembered......
Xie Lingxu burst into a foul mouth, got up and washed his face with cold water.
The suffocating news brought by Fang Xun in the dream has been lingering in my ears......
After drinking a cup of cold tea, Xie Lingxu attached the black iron jade bracelet on his wrist to the temple on one side, and the cold touch calmed people a lot-
I never thought about what kind of state of mind I would be in when everything around me suddenly changed one day. Xie Lingxu has always thought that the people he meets in this world are just phantoms in the illusion, which is neither real nor important. When I had it, it was plain, and it didn't hurt to lose it, but I experienced it once just now, and I realized that I am afraid that it is not the same thing, and the feeling in the dream is still lingering......
It turned out that he ...... I don't think it doesn't matter, it's not that I don't care at all......
Floating Dream Pavilion β
Xie Lingxu and Fang Xun sat in the silent Floating Dream Pavilion, and the incense lit by the latter blended with the fragrance of books in the pavilion, which made people feel very relieved inexplicably.
Xie Lingxu poured a cup of tea for his predecessors, and also poured himself a cup, put down the teapot, and Xie Lingxu gently leaned on the back of the chair.
Fang Xun: "Sister Lingxu, do you want to know how I met King You?"
Xie Lingxu: "Hmm. β
Fang Xun took a small sip of the teacup:
"When I was rescued by King You, I can't remember anything from the past, but I heard that when I was very young, the Fang family was wiped out, but I survived."
Xie Lingxu: "Who saved you?" β
Fang Xun: "Well...... my memory can vaguely remember half of his face, but it's very vague. β
Xie Lingxu: "And then?"
Fang Xun: "That person saved me, threw me in the ice and snow and left." β
Xie Lingxu smiled: "Then he might as well not save you." β
Fang Xun raised his head, feeling that the former's smile was a little blurred, he blinked vigorously, took a sip of the teacup and continued:
"I think so too. Fortunately, King You passed by on his expedition and rescued me, otherwise I would have starved to death or froze to death. β
Xie Lingxu: "Don't you remember your family at all?" β
Fang Xun: "I don't remember, anyway, in my memory, it is King You who has always contained me." β
Xie Lingxu nodded, Fang Xun looked at the former's face, felt a trance a little unreal, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Sister Lingxu, what do I think...... A little dizzy. β
Xie Lingxu: "Really? You didn't get a good night's rest last night? β
Fang Xun: "Tsk...... No, I slept well last night, maybe I got dizzy after sleeping too long. β
Xie Lingxu: "Hmm...... Drink some water, you're too tired to take care of the Trench Hall alone. β
Fang Xun's face flushed shyly, and he drank the remaining half cup of tea in front of him in one gulp......
"Sister Lingxu, don't look at the coach, he usually doesn't smile or like to talk, people don't look easy to get along with, but in fact, the coach is very good, that is, ...... Anyway, I don't know how to express it. β
Xie Lingxu nodded distractedly: "Hmm...... I know. β
Fang Xun: "However, I always feel that Sister Lingxu, you have some prejudices against the coach. β
"Huh? Do I have one? Xie Lingxu thought for a while and said, "Is it obvious? β
Fang Xun: "I think so, I can still see it." β
"Then I'll be a little more restrained in the future."
Fang Xun: "......"
"That's right...... You said I looked familiar, what the hell is going on? β
Fang Xun moved his body, feeling that his eyelids were a little heavy:
"Maybe it's my delusion, but I think it...... I ......"
Xie Lingxu: "What's wrong with you?" β
"It's kind of ...... Sleepy. β
Xie Lingxu looked puzzled: "Sleepy? β
"I'm ......" Fang Xun patted his head, feeling that the surprised look of the woman in front of him seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.
"What do I think...... I want to sleep a little - before Fang Xun could say the word "sleep", he fell down......
Fang Xun ...... Fang Xun ......"
Seeing that the young man in front of him was still asleep after being shaken by himself, Xie Lingxu sighed, feeling a little tired of pretending to be surprised, looked down at the teacup he hadn't touched, and thought: Nonsense, the sweat medicine that labor and management finally got is enough for you to sleep all day......
Xie Lingxu stood up, looked at the rows of books in front of him, and thought of the classics that Wu Laosi mentioned to him-
It just so happened that the Netherworld Army was now dispatching, Fang Xun, this kid was not wary, and directly opened the enchantment of the Yuan Hall to let himself enter and exit at will, a great opportunity, if he didn't grasp it, he would be stupid.
Xie Lingxu looked at the room full of books...... Your uncle, where do you have to start?
Then it is estimated that it can only be turned one by one. Xie Lingxu sat on the table and sighed secretly for a while......
"Sister Lingxu......"
Groove β
Xie Lingxu was stunned suddenly, and saw that Fang Xun actually sat up again-
"Sister Lingxu, how can I ......?"
"Bang-" Xie Lingxu took the short sword in his hand and knocked it the door of the former's head with the hilt of the sword.
Fang Xun fell on his back......
I'll go...... Why is this kid Fang Xun still awake? I'm taking expired sweat pills, right?
What about pouring a good bottle and having its own amnesia effect?
Xie Lingxu put Fang Xun who had fallen to the ground aside, turned his head and stared at the bookshelf in a daze-
Forget it, Xie Lingxu felt a little powerless, so let's be honest......
ββββ
ββββ
For a whole morning, Xie Lingxu rummaged through the whole morning before he found a record of jade beads from a room of classics.
Xie Lingxu slumped on the chair, his legs resting on the table in an irregular manner.
Damn, I thought that this kind of thing should be recorded in a dilapidated ancient book, so I turned over all the tattered books in the Floating Dream Pavilion twice, but who knew that the ancient books were recopied again, Xie Lingxu inadvertently saw the contents of the record when he took a small fan that was still brand new......
After reading it, I couldn't help but curse -
Xie Lingxu felt that the content of the book could be roughly summarized into two sentences.
This thing is called a jade bead, and it's awesome.
The record of this book is unknown, please check the forbidden place of the palace for details.
Xie Lingxu straightened up, thinking to himself where the hell is this forbidden place in the palace?
- I have to look up the exact location of the forbidden land in this pile of books......
Xie Lingxu on his back - why is labor and management so difficult......
It took an afternoon to find the location of the forbidden place from the collection of books, and during this time, he knocked out Fang Xun, who had come to his senses...... Three times, I had to think about how to explain to this young man in the future a few inexplicable bruises on his head......
After placing Fang Xun, Xie Lingxu walked out of the Floating Dream Pavilion, and it was not early. It may be easier to sneak into the forbidden place of the palace while it is dark, as long as the patrolling guards are not too good at using their brains, they are still seventy percent sure that they can sneak in.
Walking in the direction of the forbidden land, I didn't see a single guard blocking the way along the way, and the outside of the forbidden land was empty.
Xie Lingxu couldn't help but be a little surprised, lying in the groove - it's also a forbidden place in the palace, why doesn't there even have a guard, could it be that this place can still enter and exit at will?
Hiss...... Xie Lingxu was a little incredulous, stood in place and looked around for a moment, and there was really no one-
Forget it, no one is stopping me, so let's go inside.
Perhaps because no one had entered for a long time, there was a terrible cold air in the forbidden place, and the wind was "swishing" from nowhere, forcing Xie Lingxu to sneeze coldly.
As soon as he walked three or two, a heavy iron gate blocked the way in front of him.
Xie Lingxu stepped forward and knocked, listening to the muffled sound of the iron door, thinking that if there was no key, I would not be able to open this door at all.
Xie Lingxu touched it in his arms and took out a walnut-sized bearing.
Fortunately, I read the classics and found this key to open the forbidden land door from the drawer of the Floating Dream Pavilion, otherwise I would have to squat on the ground and take a sword to grind this door a little bit-
As soon as Xie Lingxu put on the bearing, the iron door opened automatically, and the convective air in the gate came with the old dust and sand......
- Xie Lingxu fanned his nose and walked in.
There were only a few lights in this dark rumbling place, but luckily the road was quite wide, otherwise I might have crashed into the wall.
It is recorded in the classics that the information about the jade bead was sealed in the innermost part of the forbidden place, and Xie Lingxu didn't have the heart to look at the artifacts resting in other places, and walked straight beyond the end......
A more obvious light seems to be visible in the distanceβ
Gradually, you could see some shadowy outlines, and I saw a scroll on an abrupt table in front of me. is a normal person who is not blind, and can see that it is something that records the information that Xie Lingxu is looking for.
A few meters away, Xie Lingxu suddenly stopped.
Saying...... This place is a forbidden place, impossible, no defense at all, right?
Generally speaking, the closer you are to something important, the more ambush traps will be set.
took out the tissue paper he brought from his arms, Xie Lingxu tore it into thin strips, let go and gently sprinkled it in front of him......
The thin strip of paper slowly floated downward, except for a thin strip of paper that was bent in the middle halfway down and stopped steadily in the air......
Beneath the paper is a very thin rope -
Xie Lingxu sighed secretly, thinking that it was good that he didn't step into it directly, otherwise he didn't know what strange mechanism he would touch.
It's always right to have a long heart-
Xie Lingxu raised his steps and stepped over the imperceptible rope, but the shredded paper on the rope shook a few times, and it fell down as if it suddenly had no support-
The rope is broken......
- Xie Lingxu was confused, what the is this rope?
didn't have time to think about it, as soon as the mechanism was touched, a hidden arrow shot straight in front of Xie Lingxu's eyes, and he quickly pulled out the short sword, and Xie Lingxu blocked the whistling sharp weapon without danger......
Before he could recover from his breath, a swift rain of arrows struck from all directions without stopping......
