As Xiao Yao's roar rushed out, the flame on the torch in his hand also shook violently, and the stone room shook for a while, like a ghost flying, plus the majestic mountains and rivers and the long-lasting "grass" that echoed in the stone room, this place was suddenly enveloped by Xiao Yao's powerful aura.

At this time, Xiao Yao's face was hideous, his face was full of expressions of wanting to kill, and his eyes were even more angry as if he was about to erupt flames. He held a torch in his left hand and a scripture book in his right hand, and without looking at it twice, his steel teeth were even more gritting and gurgling. It is said that judging from Xiao Yao's mental cultivation, there should not be anything that can make him so angry, but now that the matter has come to this, it is not deliberately acted out by him. Xiao Yao took the cheats in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and suddenly, he grabbed it with his five fingers, and instantly crumpled the book into a large paper ball and threw it on the ground. In the afterglow of the torches, a clump of wet and yellow, rotten and blurred on the pages, lay quietly on the ground. It turned out that just now Xiao Yao was full of hope and had worked hard to find what he was looking for, but it turned out to be such a pile of damp rotten waste, so that he lost control of his mind for a while, so that he roared out of shape. The humidity on this Taihu Lake is extremely heavy, although the Langhuan Jade Cave is dug underground, it can be said to be isolated from the world, but above it is a stream that has flowed for more than 100 years, and the surrounding area is a vast lake. In such an environment, it is not in the way of the books in the cave for a month or two, but after a long time, everything in the lake and the world changes, but the cave is as quiet as ever, but everything in this world cannot escape the laws set by the Creator. The humidity in the lake soaked over the years, and finally all the books in the cave rotted and could no longer be read.
Although Xiao Yao was extremely angry in his heart, he soon controlled his mood again, because he also understood that Bi moisture was seeping inward, and things like paper were going to get wet. At that time, Mantuo Villa also had a special maid responsible for regularly drying the collection of books and cleaning the jade cave so that it would not be damp and rotten, but since Wang Yuyan followed Duan Yu away to Dali, the people of Mantuo Villa withered, and the remaining maids and servants also went their own way. In this way, the books in the cave are naturally no longer cared for. A hundred years have passed, but this kind of thing is providential, not man-made. As the saying goes, providence makes people, I'm afraid that's what it means. After figuring this out, Xiao Yao quickly accepted it calmly, adjusted his feelings, and no longer complained about others. Thinking that it was not easy for him to come here, Xiao Yao had a fluke in his heart, and looked around to see if there were other books that were not completely rotten. There are seventeen rows of bookshelves in Langhuan Jade Cave, each bookshelf is divided into five grids, and there are more than ten books in each grid, and there are four or five books in the few, but the few are obviously because of the incomplete collection, such as the two stunts of the beggar gang "Dog Stick Method" and "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon", which are marked as "Beggar Gang" on the bookshelf, and there is not even a ball of waste paper. Xiao Yao turned around the seventeen rows of bookshelves one by one, and touched each book on it with his hands, opened it and took a look, but the power of time was too strong, each book was equally yellowed and old, and the pages were like cicada wings, and the better ones could still be picked up and put in their hands, but most of them were broken when they were touched, and they couldn't even be opened. After Xiao Yao turned around, he searched around the dark compartment of the bookshelf, the gaps in the surrounding walls, and the desk drawer placed on the side, but he still found nothing, and finally had to walk out of the legendary Langhuan Jade Cave in despair.
Walking down the island and returning to the boat, the fisherman saw that Xiao Yao's face was not good, and he wanted to ask if it was because of the "ghost suppression" that went wrong, but after thinking about it for a while, he still endured it. He wanted to go home, but Xiao Yao didn't agree, but he never dared to, but if he didn't dock, where to go at this time, Xiao Yao didn't make it clear. After hesitating like this for a while, the fisherman still had the courage to ask, "Official, shall we dock at this time?"
Xiao Yao really wanted to just leave like this, what swallow dock to join the village, and Shi Shui Pavilion, all of them no longer pay attention, but after weighing it, he still can't really be ruthless. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Eliminate all evil." Do you know where else there are 'ghost islands' like this around here?"
The fisherman thought for a moment, and then said, "Yes, there is another one." The official has great powers, eliminating harm for the people, and the small fishermen who live here are grateful for the great grace of the official. He bowed three times, looked in the right direction, and rowed away.
The boat was walking in the water, Xiao Yao didn't know the direction, and after about half an hour, the boat had arrived at a reed pond. The fisherman walked through the grass, and after a while, a large area of ruins hidden in the depths of the reed pond gradually appeared in front of Xiao Yao's eyes. Looking at the reeds that are more than one person tall here, even Xiao Yao had to sigh at the depth of this Shenhezhuang. After approaching Zhuangzi, he still asked the fisherman to wait in the reed pond, while he went ashore alone, looking for traces of the "Returning the Water Pavilion" in the ruins of Shenhezhuang. Because of his previous experience, and the fact that it was noon at this time, the sun was in the sky, and everything in the surroundings could be seen very clearly, and after a while, Xiao Yao found the secret. Surprisingly, this is also Shi Water Pavilion is worthy of its name, and the word "Water Pavilion" is well deserved. It turned out that this water pavilion was built in the water, which was to hollow out a large area of the bottom of the lake that was already located under shallow water, and then inlay pieces of crystals that had been assembled by unknown means. In this way, it is equivalent to building a transparent crystal house at the bottom of the lake, and this is not only extremely hidden, but also has the effect of defending against foreign enemies. When someone who doesn't know the inside story visits Sanhezhuang by boat, who will notice that there is a transparent room made of crystal on the roof of the lake where the boat is traveling?
It's just that although this room is ingenious and extremely capable of decorating and building civil engineering, it is precisely because of this that the collection of books inside is even more severely damaged. For more than 100 years, even though the crystal and stone inlays were closely connected, they could not withstand the lake water penetrating a little bit. At this time, the calf-high lake water had been accumulated in this water pavilion, and if it weren't for the huge space of the water pavilion, I am afraid that it would have been completely submerged.
Xiao Yao knew that there was no need to expect any surviving books to be able to read them, so he didn't even look at them, and directly found other things that might be hidden in those cracks and drawers. There were no tables, chairs, or benches, and there were no gaps in the natural rocks around it, so he searched the shelves one by one. When touching one of the bookshelves, Xiao Yao suddenly felt different, and when he touched it with his fingers, he realized that one side of the shelf seemed to be protruding, and the protruding part showed flat lines. Sensing this, he immediately lowered his head and examined it carefully. Because the crystal roof above his head allowed light to pass through the lake, Xiao Yao studied it for a while, and suddenly found that this was a dark grid on the bookshelf. After seeing this, Xiao Yao's heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately found the switch and opened the dark grid. As the dark grid gently opened, a golden object slowly appeared in front of Xiao Yao's eyes!
