At night, the stars fill the sky like an ocean, and the weeds blown by the night wind cause many crickets to sing. Fireflies glow faintly in the grass, adding a little light to the night. The people of this world do not have any entertainment, and the disciples have already blown out the candles and fallen asleep in order to meet the cultivation challenges of tomorrow. The Kongshang Mansion after the middle of the night is particularly quiet, and the crimson lanterns move with the wind. When the candles in all the wooden houses were extinguished, there was a small hut in the entire Kongshang Mansion that shone with a faint glow.

Charlotte sat cross-legged at the low table and quietly looked at the flickering candle in front of him, took a deep breath and blew out the candle in front of him, and the whole living area was dark, and the quiet night hid his evil smile. The shadows moved with the night, and Charlotte, dressed in a black thief's suit, walked out of the residential area in a few flashes.

After a few minutes, Charlotte sat on the wall and watched the lake and buildings in front of her. The lake with a radius of about 100 meters is as calm as a mirror, the faint glow of fireflies moves slowly and irregularly on the lotus leaves, and the crimson lanterns on the wooden bridge are reflected on the mirror-like lake, forming a beautiful scenery in the night. At the end of the lake, there is a five-story wooden building with a large three-character banner written on the door.

"Book attic. Strange, isn't the old man guarding the gate here tonight?" Charlotte muttered to herself, staring at the already dark building in front of her. It was clear that Charlotte was going to enter the attic tonight and steal the book. After years of observation, tonight's goalkeeper is the lowest in strength and the oldest at the same time. At least this old man is not pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger like other sweeping haters in the house, and by some coincidence, Xia Luo learned that this old man's actual strength was not hidden, and it was the same as his appearance. So, Charlotte, who had been planning for weeks, decided to go into the book attic tonight and steal the book.

This building treasures a lot of hard-earned books from many masters, most of which are martial arts books such as swordsmanship and cultivation, as well as rare books such as blood encyclopedia and thousand-year history books. Of course, there is no shortage of forbidden books hidden in some hidden location within the book attic. As long as you spend more or less contribution points, you can borrow books from the book attic, and under normal circumstances, you need to return them within more than a natural month, and if there are no other disciples queuing up to borrow the same book, you can renew it.

And the book that Charlotte wants to steal is a book that is completely dark, with no title, no author's name, and no year the book was written. On the first page, there is only a simple sentence written in Chinese characters: "Human nature is dark." ”

That's right, it's kanji.

The language that Charlotte learns from Confucius is actually the lingua franca of the continent, which seems to be written in an ancient oracle bone script, sometimes more elaborate and sloppy. It took Charlotte at least six or seven full years to fully master the language, and it took several times as long to learn as others.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Charlotte thinks that this book is some kind of key, after all, it is written in familiar Chinese characters rather than otherworldly characters. If you only borrow a book, you need to return it after one month, and you must not damage the book. What's more, only the first page of this black book has something written on it, and the back pages are all blank and nothing is written. Charlotte also knew very well that it was probably the owner of the book who had hidden the words in the book with some kind of secret technique. One month alone is not enough to solve the mystery, and it may take years of research. Charlotte also tried to ask the master about the origin of the book, but the master's answer was that the book was bought from a stall, and because of the unique dark shape and the words on the page that even Confucius could not read, the master finally decided to put the book in a corner of the attic.

He understands the importance of this book very well, and I am afraid that it has an inseparable relationship with his own world. The Chinese characters on the pages tempted Charlotte like a demon, and he finally decided to steal the book.

"Since the Master doesn't need it, then I will take it with difficulty. Charlotte put the black scarf over her mouth and nose, jumped off the wall and hid in the darkness, and felt in the direction of the attic.

......

After easily picking the window with a lockpick, Charlotte jumped into the attic. Charlotte has been to this place countless times in the past ten years, and even without the light of candles, she can easily move forward as if she were in her own back garden. Walking with light steps, Charlotte soon reached the fourth floor.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the black book should be around here. According to Xia Luo's memory, the first and second layers are all books on swordsmanship and mental cultivation, the third layer is some important books such as history books, and the fourth layer is placed with some strange books, of course, there are also Confucian collections such as guzheng ceramics.

The fifth floor is full of all kinds of forbidden book scrolls, and there are also many enchantments at the entrance to the fifth floor, most of which are said to be vigilant enchantments, but once the enchantment is triggered, the entire Moon Town will be awakened. So Charlotte didn't even have the heart to step into the fifth layer for half a step, and slowly searched on the fourth layer.

"Hah, here. Soon Charlotte found her target, and the pitch-black book glowed faintly in the light of the moon, and Charlotte put the book in her pocket without saying a word. Like a thief, he looked around, and when no one noticed him, he quietly went downstairs.

When he walked around a corner, the dark shadow hidden in the dark moved slightly, and then the terrifying black wind hit the back of Charlotte's head, and Charlotte, who suddenly felt bad, instantly crouched down to avoid the terrifying blow. A roaring black wind swept over his head, and Charlotte swept back with her right leg as she crouched, and the shadow jumped up and took a few steps back.

"Who is it?!" Charlotte roared, the surprise attack was not the right one. The level was pitch black, and Charlotte could hardly see the attacker's face. The attacker didn't give Charlotte time to think, so he rushed to Charlotte and swung a straight fist at Charlotte's chest.

"Pai Yun Palm!" Charlotte is footwork is full swing, easily dodging and giving the attacker a strong palm. The attacker seemed to know Charlotte's next move, and the straight fist swung out again and intercepted Charlotte's palm, the terrifying impact causing Charlotte to take a few steps back. Seeing that the situation was not good, he grabbed his hands upwards slightly, and the tiles on the ground floated as if they were levitating around Charlotte, and then he pointed at the attacker, and the tiles swept towards the attacker like meteors.

If there were bystanders at this time, they would definitely shout "impossible" in amazement, because Xia Luo, who had zero elemental affinity, was able to use the same "Stone Rapid Strike" as Gangxing, and it seemed to be one and a half times more powerful.

The attacker in the dark just smiled slightly, and said in a heavenly voice: "Not bad, but my sister hasn't played enough~" Then the attacker gently slapped his hands on the ground, and a half-meter-high stone wall jumped up, and she slammed the stone wall in mid-air with a low shout, and the strong impact caused the stone wall to fly straight in the direction of Charlotte, and blocked all the bricks on the way.

"Sister?" The moment Charlotte was distracted, the stone wall had already appeared in front of Charlotte, and he secretly said that something was wrong, so he could only cross his hands in front of his chest and defend hard. However, after the strong impact crashed into Charlotte, he couldn't stabilize his body and fell backwards at high speed. Behind Charlotte, there was a window that didn't know when it would be opened.

There was a muffled thud on the ground, and Charlotte was knocked out of the fourth floor of the attic, his figure falling into the lake with several shards of stone. The attackers, on the other hand, jumped high from the window and into the lake. After stabilizing her figure, Charlotte stood on the surface of the lake, and if there were bystanders, they would have been scared again, and only cultivators who were proficient in the water element had the ability to stand on the surface of the water. It was a matter of course for Charlotte.

At this moment, with the help of the light of the moon, Charlotte finally saw the attacker's face clearly. The snow-white white hair is scattered behind him, the braids at the end of the long hair are always carefully dressed, the posture is like a fairy descending to the earth, the white skin and delicate face are as beautiful as a doll, the cherry red lips are gently imprinted on the lips, and the bewitching red pupils look at Charlotte on the water with a smile.

Within half a second, Charlotte recognized the girl. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose upward, mobilized the strength of his whole body, and his hands were clenched up again. At this moment, the originally calm surface of the lake suddenly began to boil like boiling water, and several columns of water that transformed into dragons rose into the air, and the sound of the dragon's roar could be faintly heard.

"Well, I've wanted to use this trick a long time ago. Water Escape, Water Dragon Burst Technique!" Xia Luo pointed lightly at the girl in the air, and the roaring sound covered all sounds, and dozens of illusionary water dragons rushed into the air like crazy to bite the girl.

"Hee-hee~" At this moment, the girl showed a smile like a country and a city, even under the roar of this angry dragon, Xia Luo could still hear such a heavenly chuckle. Then, at some point, a faint-looking demon fire appeared on the girl's palm, and gently lifted the demon fire.

"Demon fire!" Xia Luo exclaimed in a low voice, this demon fire looks like red, purple, black and blue and other colors mixed together, although this fire is very subtle, but Xia Luo is quite aware of the horror of this fire. When the water dragon collided with the demon fire, it was evaporated, and a violent sound erupted, and under the mixture of fire and water, a large amount of water mist covered the entire lake, and the original bright moonlight was also covered with a gray veil. Standing in the middle of the lake, Charlotte didn't dare to move, and in the absence of vision, he could only passively set up a defensive posture and carry out the girl's attack.

Even though Charlotte knew the girl's identity, he didn't think the other party would show mercy. Sure enough, half a moment later, Charlotte felt a strong wind pressure suddenly set off behind him, and he immediately turned around and swung a straight fist. "Pai Yun Palm!" the girl snorted, and her palm slammed into Charlotte's fist, violently shaking off the water droplets and waves of the lake.

Charlotte, whose right hand was numb, immediately changed her mind and decided to fight in close combat. The palm technique, the fist technique and the leg technique are fully deployed, but it is a pity that the palms of all the girls are resolved one by one. Under several attacks, the girl grabbed the flaw and used the cloud palm again, and Xia Luo immediately swung her fist to meet the attack when she saw that the situation was not good. But on the way out of the girl's palm, she suddenly turned her claw into a palm and grabbed Charlotte's wrist.

"Hey~ American-style over-the-shoulder fall!" The girl laughed softly, grabbed Charlotte with her shoulder, and threw Charlotte's entire body with strong force, and then Charlotte was immediately thrown into the lake by the girl, and a gorgeous splash was splashed on the ground.
