Chapter 179: Inside the Library (Part II)
……
The library, the twelfth floor, the director's office, was dim.
A boxy white screen is the only light source in the entire room.
"Hey! Did you find out? But what's the use of discovering 'it' special? The principal won't let you rookies come into contact with the 'axis' too early. A high-backed boss chair spun around, a slender leg dangling playfully in the air, and then suddenly tilted and rested on the black wood desk, cocking a very chic Erlang leg, "However, the fact that you can find the special features of 'it' is enough to prove your potential." Well, five people have sensed it, which is not bad. Back then, it was me, Xiao Ming, and the stinky monkey who sensed it. However, induction is induction, but how much you can comprehend depends on your respective understanding. ”
"Ahh It's boring, do I want to surprise you guys a little? Headmaster, are you okay? ”
"Can't do it? Okay, okay. It's boring. I said, Headmaster, what do you mean by keeping me here? Don't you know it's really boring to stay in this school? You're really going to suffocate me, aren't you? Let's talk about letting me 'go out' around? Do I promise to come back on time? ”
"Okay! You're ruthless! You want to suffocate me? I'm not going to let you get away with it. Hehe, I'm looking for a 'toy' on my own...... Quack ......"
……
"Warning: Elite class students Yin Kuang, Li Shuangmu, Bei Dao, Wang Ning, Tan Shengge, the five of you have approached the warning area, please leave quickly, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
"Warning: Elite class students Yin Kuang, Li Shuangmu, Bei Dao, Wang Ning, Tan Shengge, the five of you have approached the warning area, please leave quickly, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
Two warnings were issued in succession, which shows the anger of the principal.
Yin, Li, Bei, Wang, and Tan hurriedly paused, and then after ignoring each other, they retreated away from the white pillar in the center of the hall. The other students who were busy searching the bookshelves also paused again, looked east and west in surprise, and finally unconsciously aimed their eyes at the white pillar.
Obviously, combined with the previous principal's warning, it is not difficult to understand that this white pillar is the "staircase" leading to the second floor of the library.
"What are you doing in a daze?" Zhu Tong suddenly shouted fiercely. Some of the boys and girls in Class 1236 took action again. In addition, the group of people who took the boy in Tsing Yi also continued what they had just done after receiving instructions from the boy in Tsing Yi. It is clear that the 1236 class is not monolithic.
The 1207 class is relatively disciplined, Tan Shengge beckoned, and everyone was busy again.
Yin Kuang ignored them, but looked at Li Shuangmu and said, "Did you find anything?" ”
"It's weird," Li Shuangmu touched her chin, her bright eyes roaming up and down the white pillar, and said, "Have you noticed that all the arrangements here are centered on that pillar." ”
"Hmm. And it's located right in the center. ”
"Not bad. In addition, I feel as if everything here is supported by this pillar. Also," Li Shuangmu raised his head and pointed to the regular triangle pattern on the ceiling, and said, "This huge figure is also very strange. I can't say what it is. ”
Yin Kuang raised his head and stared at the regular triangle pattern on the top, and said, "It seems to be...... By the way, have you ever played with drills? ”
"Drills? I've never heard of it. ”
Yin Kuang laughed dryly and said, "It's a carpenter's tool used to drill holes." Wrap two ropes around the drill shaft, and then by moving another cane attached to the rope, pull the cane back and forth to make the rope turn, so that the drill shaft turns, and then you can make a hole. I've used this tool before. This pillar, along with the three ropes that are wound around the pillar, resembles a drill. Of course, the drill is driven by two ropes, and here are three. ”
"And then?"
"Then I wondered if this totem pillar was telling us that the whole white pillar was powered by three entwined ropes that made the pillar rotate. Although the pillar looks stationary to the naked eye, if you look along the three bodies, you will see that the pillar is slowly turning......"
Li Shuangmu listened, and hurriedly looked at the three rope-like lines that protruded from the white pillar, and looked at it quietly for a while, "Sure enough, the pillar is shakingly turning." It's like ...... A bearing? ”
"I think so too. Or I can boldly guess that it is this axis that supports the entire library. That's why the headmaster forbade us to approach. ”
"But......" Li Shuangmu looked around and said, "And if according to what you said, it is the pillar that supports the entire library, but this library is obviously oblique, but it can be ......"
Yin Kuang shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." Or, we enter another space, like our dorm room. Or, we're now standing on an inclined plane, only because everything around us is oblique, so we also think we're standing on flat ground. You tell me? ”
"Makes sense."
"Also, I can't figure out why the headmaster used it as a passage to the second floor, if it is possible that this pillar is the pillar that supports the library? Don't you think that's weird? ”
Li Shuangmu frowned, then let go and said, "Don't think about these questions." Let's not forget that we only have less than an hour to spare. Yin Kuang listened and said, "That's right." By the way, what book did you find? ”
Li Shuangmu held up a roll of bamboo slips that looked quite ancient, and said, "Qionghua School Sword Casting Technique!" I'd like to see if there's a way to get out of the sword rust. Check it out, you might be able to find some way to awaken the dragon's soul. ”
Yin Kuang smiled, nodded, and looked at the white pillar where the two of them hugged together, and plunged into a row of bookshelves.
A few minutes later, Yin Kuang pushed a cart of various information carriers to the reading area where 1237 gathered. At this time, Li Shuangmu, Tang Rouyu, Qian Qianqian, Bai Lu and others had already looked through them, quite immersed in hard reading, hungry and thirsty.
Tang Rouyu saw Yin Kuang coming over, so she said, "Yin Kuang, take a look at this." Maybe it will help you. As she spoke, Tang Rouyu picked up a piece of tortoise shell, gently put it on Yin Kuang's trolley, and said, "This is a record of dragon souls." However, hieroglyphs are used. Can you read it? Yin Kuang said: "Hmm." I've been prepared. I spent a lot of learning points to redeem various language skills, and hieroglyphic mastery was one of them. Thank you, Don Beauty. ”
"Why be polite?" Tang Rouyu smiled, then lowered her head again, one hand against her forehead, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, her slender jade fingers moved gently on a roll of bamboo slips, her red lips shook, as if she was chattering, and seemed to be thinking about something.
When Yin Kuang saw it, he couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, he suddenly felt that Tang Rouyu at this time had a temperament that attracted him very much, and he couldn't say or describe it, but on the contrary, it was this picture of a beauty bowing her head and savoring the scroll, which made Yin Kuang a little distracted. As if sensing Yin Kuang's gaze, Tang Rouyu suddenly raised her head, met Yin Kuang's gaze, was stunned, and said, "Is there anything else?" ”
Yin Kuang instinctively wanted to dodge at first, but suddenly thought of something, his slightly trembling gaze froze again, and he looked at Tang Rouyu without hesitation, and said, "It's nothing." It's just, I think...... The way you read the book just now is quite good. After finishing speaking, Yin Kuang only felt a burst of relaxation, and even his somewhat stiff smile softened and became natural.
"Huh?" When Tang Rouyu heard this, she let out a light "ah", but her vision was a little evasive, and a slight flush climbed up her cheeks. But in the end, it was Tang Rouyu, and after a slight gaffe, she calmed down, smiled charmingly, and said with her head bowed: "Really? Thank you. ”
"Huh." Yin Kuang smiled and pushed the trolley past Tang Rouyu. After crossing Tang Rou's words, Yin Kuang exhaled and murmured softly, "It feels good...... The voice was so soft that even Yin Kuang himself didn't hear it clearly.
After Yin Kuang walked over, Tang Rouyu, who lowered her head, raised her head, looked at Yin Kuang, and couldn't help biting her delicate lower lip, "This guy ......" The voice was also very low, barely able to hear it clearly. With a snort, he lowered his head again and began to think.
After sitting down, Yin Kuang gently and gently took off one information carrier after another from the trolley and placed it on the table. From left to right, there is a tortoise shell handed over to him by Tang Rouyu, an ancient bamboo slip, a brocade silk with exquisite patterns, a withered yellow thread-bound ancient book, a thick leather notebook, and a piece of crystal clear glass-like PAD. There were only a few of them, and Yin Kuang didn't take more. He knew that in such a short period of time, if he was greedy, he would end up with nothing.
Yin Kuang first picked up the tortoise shell that Tang Rouyu handed over to him, rubbed it gently, feeling that there was even residual fragrance and residual warmth on it, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but soon he came back to his senses, scolded himself secretly, and stared at the words on the tortoise shell.
However, he gradually frowned, and his face showed horror:
"Tu ...... Dragon...... Draw out...... Soul!? ”
