Chapter 17: [Hidden Intent]

Closing the ancient book in his hand, Xiao Yehan rubbed his sore eyes and sighed softly. It was the fourteenth book he had read, and he knew almost half of the things on the continent, but he still hadn't looked up any information about the leaves.

The scripture building where Xiao Yehan is at this moment is already very different from the fairyland. The bookshelves here are three feet high, all made of Xuanshui rosewood, which is enough to last for thousands of years. As far as the eye can see, there are endless rows and rows of bookshelves. There is a faint mist between the bookshelves, and when you pick up a book, it is like walking in the clouds.

Although this place is called the Scripture Building, there is no roof. He is sitting in the corner of the top floor of the Tibetan Scripture Building at the moment, looking up, the bright moon and stars, vividly, and then looking to the side, the infinite scenery outside is in full view. There are many strange trees and fairy grasses on the upper floor of the scriptures, and now it is the flowering period of an unknown red flower, at a glance, such as the bleak clouds. As for the sea of flowers and the forest of books, there are occasional unknown spirit birds and birds flying by, so I won't mention it more.

"It seems that I can't find any relevant information when I'm outside......" silently calculated, he was a little helpless, everything depends on strength, the better you are, the greater the authority to enjoy. Like here, on the first floor of the Shizang Building, although the book was enough for ordinary academy enlightenment, he didn't find the information he wanted at all.

Of course, he wouldn't know what was going on in the depths of the Eternal Forest, and only the dean was qualified to read the ancient scriptures that recorded all this, but he thought that his authority was not enough, and he was trying to find a way to go up to the second layer.

After passing through the long corridor, we came to the end of this floor, and in front of me was an open space of two or three hundred square meters, and in front of it was a black door without any decoration, decorated with two simple brass knockers, contrary to the convention that everything here is richly decorated. What's even more surprising is that he held the door in a daze, and he didn't find the entrance to the second floor for a long time.

"Isn't it taking the stairs?"

"Don't look for it, boy!!"

Just when he was at a loss, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded, Xiao Yehan was startled, and he looked around but didn't see half of the person.

"No need to look for it, Ben-sama is here!!"

Suddenly a flickering image appeared on the mirror-black door, and a distorted human face emerged from a leaping fire. With the appearance of the human face, an inexplicable pressure violently pressed him firmly to the ground, unable to move.

"I won't let a junior like you break into the big library without permission!!" The image glared at Xiao Yehan with a murderous face, "If you want to come in, you can come in by yourself!!"

Suddenly, Xiao Yehan's weight seemed to have increased tenfold in the air, and it took all his strength to move his little fingertips, so he could only lie on the ground helplessly, looking at the high-spirited image.

The air seemed to burn in an instant, and with the smell of boiling heat, the surrounding walls and floors all disappeared, turning into a charred black circle surrounded by pillars of fire, leaving only the gate still intact.

Xiao Yehan was stunned, looking like he didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, the golden leaf hidden in his body seemed to sense something and trembled slightly.

In an instant, the space shattered like a mirror, and his head was slightly dizzy, and he returned to the original space.

With a creak, the black door suddenly opened, and the flame-like image split into two halves, and the sound never made a sound again, as if it had seen a ghost.

"Inexplicable...... Xiao didn't care so much, and walked directly inside.

The space inside is surprisingly small compared to the first floor, only about 1,000 square meters, but the grade here is much higher than the outside at a glance.

A paperweight-like statue on the desk suddenly moved, turned into a little black demon, and flew to Xiao Yehan's side with its wings flapped.

Xiao Yehan looked at this little guy strangely, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and pointed casually like a book on the shelf.

The little devil who squeaked, glanced at his gesture, immediately flapped his black wings and disappeared into the sea of bookshelves with a metallic sound.

Xiao Yehan sat on the stiff wooden chair, and couldn't help complaining in his heart why he didn't even give a cushion. The sound of a metallic sound ringed in his ears again, and the little devil was already carrying a book on the table.

The cowhide cover was covered with scratches and dust, and the red was as deep as clotted blood. There is no other decoration in the whole book, except that the corners of the book are wrapped in blackened silver ornaments, and the title of the book is written on the cover in words that Xiao Yehan can't understand.

As soon as his fingers touched the book, a faint heat passed straight from the book, Xiao Yehan couldn't help but immediately retract his hand, and then carefully flipped through the book. The yellowed writing has worn out on all four corners, and the handwriting has become a little blurry.

The light of the day, how can you know the depth of the night?

We are the children of darkness, the people of the moon gods.

Our people travel between heaven and earth with the wings of blood, and the power of blood reigns over foreign peoples.

Freely travel through the gap in time until the night of Brahma fire.

People of the Blood, Cain

Flipping through the cover, a neat but imposing handwriting came into view, the people of the blood clan? There are also blood clans here? Why have I never heard of it before.

Although he was a little puzzled, he slowly opened the book and began to read it carefully.

At first, he could still understand it, but the more complicated the font became, he was almost a little difficult to understand, but looking at the book, it seemed to introduce the blood clan, just understand it a little, he threw the book back, and said to the little devil: "The book about the introduction of treasure soldiers, and what happened in the Eternal Forest!"

He flipped through it casually, and soon caught a glimpse of the water of life, which was taken from the holy spring of life in the ancient holy land, and each drop had the effect of healing and washing the marrow, and it was worth it at first glance...... Xiao Yehan almost fell to the ground, this was calculated according to drops, like ordinary students who were bankrupt and could only afford one or two drops...... And at that time, Green gave himself a bottle!

It was rare to get a little excited, Xiao Yehan looked at it again, the strange talk in it was all surprising to Xiao Yehan, all kinds of magical things filled his mind, how amazing was his memory?

Time and space, at this moment, seem to have returned to distant antiquity, the glory of heroes, epic chapters, and magnificent stories are all expressed by an old voice in the tone of legends.

Having gathered enough information, he got up and left.

Shortly after he left, an old man appeared like a ghost, and almost no one knew how he appeared. He looked like an ordinary old man, his hair, beard, and eyebrows were gray. He wore a loose robe, with a hooked nose and round eyes, and his cloudy eyes were tired of waking up. At first glance, he seemed to be no different from those old people who sat in the sunset and enjoyed the afterglow, but if you looked closely, you would feel a shock and dizziness, because the space where he was standing was trembling slightly at an unimaginable speed.

"The current students are very diligent, and there are students in the scripture building so early......"

He plucked his eyes and gently wiped them with a tissue, and suddenly there was a sigh.

The furrow on his forehead wrinkled, and he looked at it with some doubts, "Has anyone been here?" Who else has permission to come to this place besides me? strange thing......"

Walking out of the attic, Xiao Yehan felt a confusion in his mind, and was still immersed in endless legends, he had a feeling of sitting in front of a great sage, listening to this great sage tell ancient and distant legends, and suddenly felt a soft delicate body on his body crash into his arms, and then he heard a coquettish voice.

He woke up in an instant, and for a moment he only felt a coldness!

I was affected by my emotions and perceptions, and I didn't realize until I bumped into someone, and if I had been in the wilderness, I wouldn't have known how many times I would have died. And that kind of vertigo...... It's like the discomfort of the difference in space when you go from one space to another.

Listening to the cry of pain, it was so glutinous and soft that he couldn't help but look down at the girl, who was about fourteen years old, wearing a long black dress and a white hair ornament with lace on her head. The hair was slightly messy, and a pair of eyebrows were twisted together because of the pain, and they were frowning at Xiao Yehan with a pair of dark and flexible eyes.

"Sorry......" Xiao Yehan stepped forward to help her up, but when she approached, she felt a dark fragrance like musk and orchid surging at the end of her nose, and when she breathed hard, she didn't feel it, and her heart was relieved, and the fragrance lingered again, like a fairy sound from the secret realm in the dark night.

"It's okay......" She stood up, looking at him curiously. "You...... How did you come so early? Are you a freshman?"

"Yes!"

She was surprised for a moment, then smiled brightly, "Hello, my name is Xin'er, are you here to prepare for the freshman competition that will start soon?"

"Huh?" he suddenly remembered that today was the competition of those freshmen, and just as he wanted to say something, the girl had already taken the lead: "Definitely, I stayed here all night, just to learn more about the opponent's move treasures, and it will be easier to crack it when the time comes." Saying that, he knocked his head with some annoyance, "Well, but the harvest is really not much, anyway, the game will start soon, let's go over together......" After speaking, he pulled him up and ran out without waiting for Xiao Yehan to say anything.

Xiao Yehan's face under the cloak was a little strange, but he let her pull it, and he always felt that there was a shadow lingering in his heart, no matter what he thought, it was useless, and then his afterglow glanced at the back, and in an instant, he only felt a coldness surging all over his body, and his whole body couldn't help but freeze.

The black gate through which he had entered had disappeared and was replaced by a spiraling staircase......
