Chapter 156: Secret Treasure

Lietuo Country, National Library.

The entire library is made of sandstone and alloy, and the environment inside is very dark, and the only place where the light is lit is a few small windows.

Because the library was built so old, there was no electricity in the whole library, only a gray candlestick with some kerosene lamps that could be lit for a light source.

Led by the librarian, Xiao Nan entered the library.

The books stored on the shelves look very old, and the documents are not recorded on modern paper, but on ancient parchment.

"Most of the library rooms above are picture books. Among them, there are most records about dragon beasts. ”

The librarian enthusiastically introduced Xiao Nan.

"Drake?"

Xiao Nan raised her eyebrows, she didn't know what a dragon beast was.

The librarian smiled: "The dragon beast is the dragon beast, it is a very ancient creature, but then their clan became extinct on the earth, so not many people know about it now." ”

Xiao Nan nodded, didn't ask anything, she went straight to the point and said:

"Take me directly to the destination, Orochimaru should have told your king in advance."

"Yes, please come with me. Speaking of which, no one has been there for a long time, but I didn't expect that there are still people who are interested in ancient knowledge. It's hard enough just to decipher the text above, let alone understand it. ”

The librarian said with emotion.

As he spoke, he led Xiao Nan to his destination.

It was deep inside the National Library, and there was a large door blocking the way inside.

"The things you asked for are right in the back, the last time Orochimaru came here, he stayed for a long time before he went out. Is ancient material really that fascinating? ”

The librarian shook his head helplessly, then took a key from his pocket and opened the door.

The road to the interior was opened, and it was a staircase that led to the ground.

The librarian took the kerosene lamp in his hand and walked down the dimly lit steps, Xiao Nan following behind.

Soon, I came to the flat ground and to the underground space of the library.

It is also a library, but the space is very small, and the cobweb-covered shelves are filled with a large number of parchment and scroll records.

The ground also accumulated a thick layer of dust, but it looked like the footprints of someone walking.

Xiao Nan knew that it was the traces left by Orochimaru's past coming.

Coming into contact with the rulers of this country gave Xiao Nan the feeling that they completely ignored the knowledge of ancient times and did not value it very much.

Rather than studying these ancient texts, which are useless to the state, it is better to try to obtain the water source for survival, which is the top priority of the state.

On the contrary, the ancient texts that were discarded by the king and his ministers were instead sacred things that Orochimaru had been striving for.

The same thing, in the hands of different people, will present both valuable and worthless.

"Okay, this is where the things that Mr. Orochimaru needs, if you want to take them, just take them all, anyway, it doesn't do much to put them here, they are all old antique books that no one understands."

The librarian said unconcernedly.

"Then it's disrespectful."

Xiao Nan said.

"Then, I'll leave first, please take your time."

After saying that, the librarian ignored Xiao Nan and stepped up the steps to leave the basement.

After the librarian left, Xiao Nan took out the space scroll used to seal the items from the ninja bag.

This kind of mothballing scroll is very expensive in the world, because it cannot store living things, but it can store materials very much, and many ninja villages will use it in times of war.

This time, in order to take away the ancient documents of the Lietuo Kingdom, it was specially taken out and used by Xiao Nan.

There are not many books in the basement, and it took about ten minutes for Xiao Nan to pack up more than half of the books inside.

Just as I was packing up the books on the next shelf, suddenly a book fell from that shelf, splashing a little dust.

Xiao Nan walked over and dusted off the cover, which was dark blue, and the material of the cover was a little rough, as if it had been smeared with powder from rocks. On the dark blue cover, four fonts are engraved with gold leaf.

This font is just very similar to contemporary script, but Xiao Nan knows that this is an ancient script from thousands of years ago. With Xiao Nan's knowledge, it is not enough to decipher what the name of this book is.

However, out of curiosity, Xiao Nan still opened one of the pages.

This is a picture book.

On the first page, there is an ink painting of several tanuki of different sizes, playing on the beach.

Immediately after, Xiao Nan turned the next page, and it was the cat staring at the kerosene lamp.

Tanuki? Cat?

Xiao Nan's face was strange.

According to Orochimaru, the books in this basement are all very precious materials and documents, and there are even many forbidden books.

But the picture book in her hand seems to be just a very ordinary picture book, and it is also a so-called important information?

"That's 'celestial mapping.'"

Just when Xiao Nan felt strange in his heart, Orochimaru's unique hoarse voice sounded behind him.

Xiao Nan turned around.

"Are you done with your business?"

"Yes, for the rest, you just need to ask your subordinates to transport the things back to the base of Yinyin Village."

Orochimaru nodded.

Xiao Nan looked at the picture book in his hand and asked, "You said the name of this book is 'Celestial Mapping'?" ”

"That's right, this book is in this basement, and it's a so-called banned book."

"Forbidden books?"

Xiao Nan exclaimed in surprise.

No matter how you look at it, it's just a very ordinary picture book.

"You'll find out if you keep flipping."

Orochimaru smiled mysteriously, it was obvious that he had already read this picture book.

Xiao Nan pressed the doubts in his heart and continued to turn the page.

The third page is about a turtle climbing a rocky mountain.

The fourth page is a monkey drawing on the ground with a tree branch.

Tanuki, cats, turtles, monkeys, are just animals in nature.

Is this a book about animals?

It's not possible, though.

Since Orochimaru said that this book is a banned book, it means that this is not just a simple introduction to animals.

Don't...... Xiao Nan's mind flashed with inspiration, and he thought of something.

"How's that, guessed?"

Orochimaru asked with a smile.

"These animals...... It's a tailed beast! ”

Xiao Nan's expression suddenly became serious.

One tail is a large tanuki.

The second tail is a cat.

The three tails are three tailed turtles.

The four tails are a monkey.

The content of this drawing is very cleverly linked to the tailed beast.

If this is a coincidence, Xiao Nan does not believe it at all.

Xiao Nan continued to turn the pages of the book, and as she expected, the content of the book was related to the tailed beast.

The fifth page is a seahorse swimming in the sea, which is a five-tailed one.

On the sixth page, the frogs and slugs crawling in the swamp are six-tailed.

The seventh page is the trunk of a tree, on which there is a group of beetles, representing the identity of the Seven Tails.

The eighth page is a cow peeking into the contents of the pot, representing the eight tails.

The ninth page is an orange bonfire, much like the nine tails of the nine-tailed demon fox, so it can be concluded that this is the back of the nine-tails.

Page 10 depicts a towering giant born from the earth.

"It's ...... Ten Tails? ”

This towering giant, with its terrifying face, resembles an Outer Dao Golem, but it is more powerful and hideous than the Outer Dao Golem.

Just from the drawing, you can see that the Ten Tails bring a strong oppressive force.

In addition to that, there are two pages left.

Xiao Nan quickly opened the last two pages.

The final content is also shown, with pages 11 and 12 respectively of a shepherd looking up at the stars and an old man on crutches.

"The characters on the last two pages are Tatar, an astronomer from the Lietuo Kingdom thousands of years ago, and the Six Dao Immortals. It is said that this astronomer, Tatar, was a friend of the Six Dao Immortals when they traveled to the country of Lietuo. ”

Orochimaru explained.

"I see. Ten tailed beasts, six immortals, and friends of six immortals...... So what is the meaning of this book? ”

Xiao Nan asked puzzled.

In Xiao Nan's view, this book is more like a witness to the friendship between the Six Realms Immortals and the astronomer Tatar.

Orochimaru said with a smile: "It is said that the Six Dao Immortals once had a strange disease, and after he came to the Lietuo Kingdom, he got acquainted with the astronomer Tatar and cured the strange disease on his body. ”

"Strange disease? Do immortals get sick too? ”

Xiao Nan was surprised.

"The Six Dao Immortals are already dead, so it's not a big deal if they get sick."

Orochimaru said indifferently.

Xiao Nan's face was stunned.

"It seems so."

Indeed, as Orochimaru said, immortals will die, and it is not a big deal to get sick.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, immortals should be omnipotent beings and will not be tormented by so-called diseases.

"Not only that, there is an ancient game called 'Swinging Stars' circulating in the territory of the Lietuo Kingdom."

As he spoke, Orochimaru took out a box of cards, which were divided into twelve types, each with a total of five cards, for a total of sixty cards.

The pattern on each card paper is exactly the same as one of the drawings on one of the pages of the Celestial Chart.

"Of course, it doesn't matter what the rules of the game are, but according to the people of the country of Lietuo, the twelve different flower cards in the 'Swing Star' represent the constellations from January to December, and also correspond to the zodiac signs of the month. It is said that as long as you can unlock the secret of the "Celestial Map", you can obtain the secret treasure of the Lietuo Kingdom. And this secret treasure is the thing left by the six immortals, and it is also a treasure that cures the strange diseases of the six immortals. ”

"So, have you solved the secret?"

"Not long ago, I thought about it for a long time, and finally solved it, the main purpose of coming to the Lietuo Kingdom this time is also to take away this secret treasure. However, that secret treasure was split in half by the six immortals, and we could only take one of them. As for the second ...... To be honest, although I know where it was placed by the Six Dao Immortals, I can't get it with my ability. ”

Orochimaru had a rare look of helplessness on his face.

"What's that treasure?"

"A meteorite that fell from the sky contained a wonderful substance called 'polar particles', which the six immortals divided into two parts and sealed them in two containers. One of the 'polar particles' container is placed in the kingdom of Retus. Pack up the books here, and we're going to go and get half of the 'polar particles' now. ”

Orochimaru replied.

Xiao Nan nodded, she didn't know what those 'polar particle' substances were, but the things that could be saved by the Six Dao Immortals were definitely not mortal.

If you get that item, you might be able to help Nagato.

After packing up all the books in the basement, Xiao Nan followed Orochimaru to a mountainous area.

In the center of the mountains, there is a pear-shaped lake that quietly reflects the light of the sky.

Looking at this lake, Xiao Nan had the illusion that the land under his feet was the sky.

"This lake ......"

"This is a lake formed by rain after the meteorite landed, and it is called 'Six Lakes' in this country, which is the first name of the Six Dao Immortals, who split the meteorites that fell from the sky here thousands of years ago."

Splitting a meteorite falling from the sky, not to mention the size of the meteorite, but according to the gravitational acceleration of the meteorite falling from the sky, it is definitely not something that humans can do.

Even if a ninja uses ninjutsu, they will be smashed by the impact of the meteorite.

Xiao Nan has a more intuitive feeling of the power of the legendary Six Dao Immortals.

"I also learned from the mouth of the king of the Lietuo Kingdom that the Six Dao Immortals once left a diary in the Lietuo Kingdom. The diary mentions two locations where the 'polar particles' matter is stored, one of which is named 'The Sky That Falls on the Earth'. ”

Orochimaru stared at the lake that reflected the sky.

"Showing the sky on the surface of the lake is indeed the 'sky on the earth', and half of the polar particles are placed in the lake, right?"

Xiao Nan looked at the lake as beautiful as the sky and reacted.

Orochimaru nodded.

"So how do you get the treasure? It will take a lot of time to drain the water. Also, I'm not very good at water escape ninjutsu. ”

Xiao Nan looked at the water volume of this lake, and it was not easy to drain it.

The ghost shark in the Xiao organization, who is good at water escape, is not here. With her and Orochimaru's strength, draining the water of a lake is no easy task.

Orochimaru shook his head and said, "The Six Dao Immortals store things, and they won't let people get their hands on them so easily. Moreover, he is the leader of the Ninja Sect, and he naturally uses the sealing technique, even if the lake water is drained, it is impossible to obtain this half of the polar particles. There are a total of 12 drawings in "Celestial Mapping", which are exactly the same as the 12 kinds of flower cards on the traditional game of "Swinging Stars" in the country of Lietuo. There are 12 kinds of flower cards, which are divided into two categories: star cards and earth cards. This is 'The Sky on Earth', which corresponds to the six Earth tiles. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I said at the beginning, the twelve charts of the Celestial Map correspond to the twelve months, and the twelve constellations corresponding to the months, and the Indian form of the ninja is also the zodiac. The Six Immortals are really kind to ninjas. ”

Orochimaru laughed.

"You mean, the seal that was unsealed was hidden in the ninja's seal?"

Xiao Nan understood.

As a ninja, she naturally knows the importance of the seal to a ninja.

The basic Indian style of ninja is divided into 12 types: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai.

The twelve constellations of December corresponding to the "Celestial Map" are exactly the same number.

"Yes. In the game of Lietuo country to swing the stars, the earth cards are divided into six types, and in the order of the size of the earth cards, these are the six cards. ”

Orochimaru took out six cards representing 'earth' among the stars.

Cat staring at kerosene lamp outlook.

Orange bonfire.

Tanuki frolicking on the beach.

Frogs and slugs crawling in swamps.

A turtle climbing a rocky mountain.

and the old man on crutches at the end.

The patterns of these represent the two tails, the nine tails, the first tail, the six tails, the three tails, and finally the six immortals. By combining the constellations of these earth cards with the ninja's 12 seals in order, it is easy to deduce the order of the desealing. ”

The Celestial Chart constellations are arranged by month.

The second tail is February, Pisces.

The Nine-Tails is September, Libra.

One tail is January, Aquarius.

The Six Tails is June, Cancer.

The Three Tails is March, Aries.

The six immortals correspond to December, Capricorn.

Therefore, as long as the above months are compared with the order of the 12 zodiac signs, the six Indian forms of Chou, Shen, Zi, Si, Yin, and Hai can be extracted.

"The last time I came here, I didn't solve the secret, so after I went back, I meditated and gradually learned the secret. Because no one would have thought that the method of unsealing has always been hidden in the folk games of the Lietuo Kingdom. ”

It is precisely because it is placed on the bright side that it has been ignored.

Orochimaru had to complain about the bad taste of the six immortals, this is the so-called black under the lamp.

Because the Six Dao Immortals put everything on the bright side, and even turned it into a folk game, without hiding, it is even easier for people to ignore.

After deducing all the Indian sequences, Orochimaru didn't talk nonsense, and began to seal on the surface of the lake in the order of Chou, Shen, Zi, Si, Yin, and Hai.

I saw that the surface of the pear-shaped lake was suddenly pulled by some mysterious force and began to fluctuate, and the sky on the lake disappeared and became as smooth as a mirror.

Soon, a dazzling pillar of light erupted from the bottom of the lake, and a bamboo tube with a charm attached to the surface floated quietly in the pillar of light, exuding a mysterious aura.

Seeing the bamboo tube, the corners of Orochimaru's mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a satisfied smile.

Sure enough, my guess was correct. In this way, this thing belongs to us. ”

With excitement, Orochimaru was about to step forward to take the bamboo tube.

Suddenly, there was a spatial distortion on the surface of the lake, and a hand quickly poked out of the spiral-shaped air and quickly reached for the bamboo tube, trying to snatch it away.

Orochimaru and Xiao Nan's faces suddenly changed.

"Shulker Serpent Hand!"

Without hesitation, Orochimaru's arm reached forward, and several stout snakes flew out of the cuffs, opened their mouths, revealing sharp fangs, and bit at the palm, preventing the mysterious man from snatching the bamboo tube.

"Fire Escape: Storm Dance!"

At the moment when several big snakes slaughtered them, in the distorted space, a spiral fire tornado was generated, and several big snakes were suddenly scorched by the flames and fell down weakly.

On the surface of the lake, the figure of Obito mysteriously appeared, holding the bamboo tube firmly in his hand.

The moment the bamboo tube was taken out, the dazzling pillars of light that erupted from the bottom of the lake disappeared with it.

"I'm really sorry, compared to the predecessor of Orochimaru, it seems that I am the real person who is destined for this treasure. Two of you, there will be a period later. ”

I didn't want to entangle with Orochimaru and Xiao Nan, and after the things were in hand, Obito immediately used the space-time pupil technique to prepare to retreat.

"Don't want to go! Leave things behind! ”

The white pieces scattered in the air, folded into sharp paper shurikens, and flew like lightning towards Obito's body.

However, all the paper shurikens passed through Obito's body and did not inflict any injuries on him.

Obito smiled at the two of them, and didn't stop for long, and the pupil power was released from the writing wheel's eye, and the twisted space of the body disappeared.

And it was too late for Orochimaru and Xiao Nan to step forward to stop it.

Obito's elusive way of moving caught them off guard, and when they wanted to chase it, Obito had already left one step in advance, and the two could only stare at the spot with big eyes.

His eyes ...... And that face, it seems to be the Uchiha student from Watergate......"

Orochimaru's face was grim, as if he remembered something.

"It's Uchiha Obito! During the Third Ninja War, he was rescued by Chiba Shiraishi, and he was one of the few masters of the Uchiha clan who awakened the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye. It is also one of the hidden trump cards in the country of ghosts. The last time we fought with the Land of Wind, they didn't show up. Even Konoha didn't know that there was a second Uchiha clan in the country of ghosts who awakened the kaleidoscope writing wheel. ”

Xiao Nan's face also turned cold, and he told the identity of the other party.

The Uchiha Obito, who has mastered the time-space pupil technique, is undoubtedly a headache existence.

This kind of headache is not Obito's frontal combat power, but the effect of the time-space pupil technique, for people who don't have space-time ninjutsu, Obito is inherently invincible. In other words, Obito can use the characteristics of Hitomi Jutsu to firmly contain strong enemies that are much stronger than his own frontal ability.

Orochimaru came over slightly, and then stretched out his tongue and licked it at the edge of his mouth, with an excited look in his eyes.

"In other words, is that a brand new pair of kaleidoscope writing wheels? I thought that only Itachi and Ruri Uchiha had Kaleidoscope Sharingan in Awakening. The Uchiha clan is getting more and more interesting. ”

"Yes, the ninjas of this clan are indeed elite. In contrast, the Hyuga clan seems to have only Hyuga Ayane's strength is very outstanding. In the future, it would be better to be careful with the Uchiha Obito, his pupil technique is too weird. ”

"Even I didn't realize it, it was indeed a very powerful space-time pupil technique. is more excellent than the time and space ninjutsu of the water gate, and it is worthy of being a master and apprentice. ”

Orochimaru nodded in agreement, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was calculating in his heart.

"What now? The thing was taken by the Uchiha Obito. I remember you said that the Six Dao Immortals split the polar particles in the meteorite into two halves, where is the other half? Let's go and take the other half of the polar particles. ”

Xiao Nan said.

Since the secret treasure of the Lietuo Kingdom has been snatched, he can only go to find the other half of the secret treasure polar particles.

Orochimaru glanced at Xiao Nan, spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Let's talk about this matter later, I suspect that the stinky boy hasn't left yet." It wouldn't be nice if he overheard. ”

Different from the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Water Gate, the space-time pupil technique possessed by Obito is obviously more weird than the Flying Thunder God's technique in terms of ability.

Xiao Nan was silent after hearing this, and his mood was inexplicably a little unhappy.

Although he traveled to the Lietuo Kingdom this time and obtained a large number of documents and materials from the Lietuo Kingdom, the secret treasures left by the Six Dao Immortals were snatched away by the Uchiha Obito.

That thing will definitely fall into the hands of Chiba Shiraishi at that time, which is the last thing Xiao Nan wants to see.
