9. The second five-ring-level secret
The second day of September.
In the early morning of this day, Lin Yue suddenly found that 'Su Ziqiu' had a fever.
"So hot?"
Lin Yue sat on the edge of the bed and probed the temperature of her forehead with his fingertips, and his tentacles were hot.
According to the experience of previous lives, it is at least 40 degrees or more.
And Su Ziqiu was fine, but his cheeks were red, his wheezing was more obvious, and his body was a little weaker.
"You have a fever."
Lin Yue withdrew his palm, looked at Su Ziqiu calmly, and proposed, "Why don't I put you in ice water and soak you for two days?" ”
Su Ziqiu's tongue was paralyzed, he couldn't speak, he could only stare at him with resentment.
"Still, why do you suddenly have a high fever?"
Lin Yue looked at her body and frowned slightly.
He wasn't worried about Su Ziqiu's body, nor did he care if she was sick or well.
After all, Su Ziqiu has been eating bone powder for more than two months in a row, if it were ordinary people, it would have softened into a mess of mud, and Su Ziqiu obviously has never cultivated, but he relies on the hidden bloodline and miracles, and it is nothing to carry it for so long.
If he fed bone meal for a few fewer days, I am afraid that Su Ziqiu would have recovered as before.
What Lin Yue cared about was, why did Su Ziqiu suddenly have a high fever?
This cannot be caused by an infected wound.
Because the wound on Su Ziqiu's chest that penetrated her lungs was made by him more than two months ago, and her self-healing ability was much stronger than ordinary people, he had to re-tear the wound regularly to prevent her from healing on her own.
But all this time, Su Ziqiu has never had a fever.
What's going on today?
"Do you know anything?"
Lin Yue slowly narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Ziqiu.
And Su Ziqiu just glared at him angrily as always, his eyes full of hatred.
Lin Yue ignored Su Ziqiu's gaze, and stretched out his hand to probe all over her body, and found that her whole body was hot, as if she had been roasted by a stove, as if the blood in her whole body was boiling.
Blood?
"Isn't it ......"
A thought suddenly flashed in Lin Yue's heart, his eyes changed slightly, and he said softly: "It is rumored that once the royal bloodline of the Xia Hong clan awakens, it is possible to awaken the innate supernatural powers, have you begun to awaken the bloodline?" ”
Regarding the innate supernatural powers, he also knew something from a second-level secret.
In addition to the lucky one out of hundreds of millions of people like him, once the bloodline of the Dayong royal family awakens, it is also possible to awaken the innate supernatural powers.
And the prince, as the flesh and blood of His Majesty the God Emperor, once the bloodline awakens, he will inevitably awaken the innate supernatural powers!
This is also the peculiarity of the heirs of the God Emperor.
"It seems that this is the awakening of the bloodline."
Lin Yue looked at Su Zichu, narrowed his eyes and said, "If you drain your blood, will you still awaken your bloodline?" ”
Su Ziqiu couldn't speak, but even if she could speak, she would probably only say nonsense like "then you kill me" or "whatever you want".
However, Lin Yue would not really do this.
If too much blood is bed, it may cause her to really die, and then he will die.
"I'm starting to wonder, what will your innate supernatural powers be?"
Lin Yue smiled, then picked up the small bowl with vegetable porridge next to him, and in front of Su Ziqiu's eyes, after pouring bone powder and soul-trapping water into the bowl, he stirred it a few times at will, then pinched her cheek and began to pour her vegetable porridge mixed with medicine.
"In order to celebrate the awakening of your bloodline, I will pour you double the soul water and bone powder today, and it will be my gift." He said with a grin.
Su Ziqiu didn't pay attention to him, just tried his best to swallow the gruel in the bowl.
After a while, she fell into a soft sleep.
Lin Yue put down the empty bowl in his hand, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
He could see that Su Ziqiu wanted to live, so every time she knew that there was medicine in the porridge, she still tried her best to swallow it.
To stay alive.
Perhaps, she also knew that one day she would usher in the awakening of the bloodline, and then awaken the innate supernatural powers.
At that time, it will be her chance to escape and ascend to heaven.
Innate supernatural powers are innate abilities, and no one knows what kind of abilities their innate supernatural powers will be.
If Su Ziqiu really awakened some kind of special innate supernatural ability and happened to be able to deal with the current situation, then he would be in trouble.
When the time comes, there are only two options: kill her, or give up her and run for your life.
With the help of the strange treasure obtained from the five-ringing-level secret, he was actually somewhat sure of it just by escaping for his life.
But Lin Yue was unwilling to hide like a mouse, and he wasn't sure how long he could escape.
Not to mention......
Tu Lao Dao is still under the control of Baili Fengzhi, and if it is possible, he still wants to save Tu Lao Dao and escape together.
With Tu Lao Dao taking care of him, maybe it will be easier to escape.
"It's a ...... trouble"
Lin Yue took a deep breath and glanced at Su Ziqiu with a frown, only to feel that it was extremely tricky.
I can't think of a solution to my current predicament.
It seems to be a dead end that there is no solution.
"It takes a certain amount of time for the royal bloodline to awaken, and the purer the bloodline, the longer it will take."
Lin Yue recalled a classic book of the world's chronicles that he had read a few days ago, and in addition to human geography, the book also recorded a little information about the awakening of the bloodline of the Xia Hong clan.
Although the Xia Hong clan strictly controls the inheritance of the bloodline, after thousands of years of reproduction, under the spread of branches, there are now many people with the blood of the Xia Hong clan, almost all of whom are powerful people with extremely high status in Jingzhou.
The time experienced by Xia Hong's bloodline awakening varies, and the longest is nine days.
If there are many generations between him and His Majesty the Divine Emperor, and the royal bloodline is thin, then the time for the bloodline to awaken is very short, maybe only a few hours or even shorter.
And the prince's bloodline is the purest, and the bloodline awakening time is the longest nine days.
"Within nine days, a decision must be made."
Lin Yue took a deep breath, glanced coldly at the sleeping Su Ziqiu, and then turned around and went out.
Anyway, keep trying.
Therefore, he did not give up his intention to continue to go to the Taoist Academy to read books, and to learn more knowledge, so that the secrets he obtained in the future could involve more and more comprehensive secrets.
It's a pity......
In the past half a month, although the frequency of his receiving secrets is quite high, he has obtained more than a dozen secrets in a row, but all of them are only first-level secrets without exception.
For his current situation, it didn't help at all.
However, he could only wait silently.
There is no other way.
……
Today, for the awakening of Su Ziqiu's bloodline, Lin Yue delayed some time, and when he arrived at the Dao Academy, it was almost time.
After entering the gate of the Taoist Academy, I happened to see several people walking towards me.
The person at the head of them was a young man, wearing a royal blue brocade robe and holding a folding fan in his hand, and it was the third son of the county guard, Xu Mingli.
Lin Yue pretended not to see the other party, and walked towards him expressionlessly, ready to pass by.
"Lin Yue."
Xu Mingli said, "I heard that you have been reading books in the bookstore recently? Why didn't I see you go to the prison to see Daoist Tu? ”
Lin Yue stopped and looked at Xu Mingli.
Obviously, Xu Mingli's words were a test of Daoist Tu's current situation.
This is already the second time.
"I didn't expect Xu Gongzi to care so much about Tu Laodao?"
Lin Yue showed a smile and said, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival last month, Xu Gongzi specially went to give Tu Laodao a fine wine, it seems that Tu Laodao's true identity was already known at that time, right?" Could it be that the person who exposed Tu Daochang to the commander of Baili was Xu Gongzi? ”
Xu Mingli frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Yes, it is this son, how are you doing?" ”
"I just want to thank Xu Gongzi." Lin Yue smiled brightly and said: "This time, thanks to Xu Gongzi's revelation to the Baili Commander, that Tu Lao Dao could not escape, and was arrested and imprisoned by the Baili Commander. ”
"Thank me?"
Xu Mingli couldn't help but be stunned.
He only knew that Tu Daochang was ambushed and arrested by Baili Fengzhi and his guards on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and was imprisoned, but the specific situation is not clear.
Just listening to my father, it seems that Tu Daochang is still in prison.
He was also a little worried.
If Baili Fengzhi finally found out that Daoist Tu was innocent and let him go, wouldn't his Xu family, as the cause of the misfortune of the master Tu Daochang, have made a feud with Daoist Tu?
So he wanted to test it from Lin Yue to see if Lin Yue knew about Tu Daochang's situation.
After all, in the entire Taoist Academy, only Lin Yue and Daochang Tu had a good relationship.
But I didn't expect that Lin Yue actually came to thank him?
"Yes, I am really grateful to Mr. Xu."
Lin Yue bowed his hand quite sincerely, but there was a bit of indescribable weirdness on his lips, his eyes stared at Xu Mingli, and he said word by word: "If you have the opportunity, you should repay Xu Gongzi's great kindness in your decision." ”
He still remembered that he and Lao Dao had turned against each other now, so he could only act like this.
Whatever you say, you just know it in your heart.
“…… No need. ”
Xu Mingli looked at Lin Yue's eyes and barely squeezed out a smile.
For some reason, he inexplicably felt a little hairy in his heart, and always felt that there was a chill hidden behind Lin Yue's seemingly sincere words.
"Yes." Lin Yue said seriously: "Xu Gongzi, rest assured, I will never forget you in the next future." ”
After speaking, he smiled and arched his hand and said, "Xu Gongzi walks slowly, and he will go first." ”
Xu Mingli could only smile reluctantly.
The rest of the people were also confused, what did Lin Yue do to thank Xu Mingli?
Lin Yue immediately stepped across the threshold of the courtyard and walked into the courtyard.
Before I arrived at the bookstore, I saw several lay disciples of the Taoist Academy walking towards me.
These people used to be acquaintances with him, and they belonged to the same small circle in the Taoist Academy, and their relationship was not bad, and they often chatted with laughter.
But at this time, these people came to meet them, but they just glanced at Lin Yue, and passed by directly, as if they didn't see him, and completely regarded him as air.
Lin Yue also passed by, but the corners of his lips flashed with a hint of sarcasm.
Although he didn't care about losing so many so-called 'friends', the change in his affection was inevitably too fast.
Recently, there has been a news circulating in the Taoist courtyard -
The deputy palm seal Tu Daochang, was arrested by the commander of the Northwest Pass, Baili Fengzhi, and put in prison, which is said to be related to the disappearance of the son of Xia Lie, and may be executed one day.
Daoist Tu was already not welcomed in the Taoist Academy, and when he was imprisoned at this time, naturally no one sympathized, but many people secretly applauded.
Even Lin Yue, the only lay disciple who had a good relationship with Dao Chang, also became the object of everyone's chat, as if he had anything to do with him, he would be implicated.
Naturally, this is the situation we are in.
"That's good, too."
Lin Yue walked into the Taoist library with a faint smile, picked up a book that he hadn't finished reading yesterday, sat down and began to read it quietly.
He didn't belong to this world in the first place, so he only traveled here for a year, or a year of memory awakening in his previous life.
In this world, he always has a sense of loneliness, and only Tu Laodao can have a little heart-to-heart.
Now he has become the object of everyone's snub, but he has also fallen quiet.
It just so happened that no one disturbed him reading.
The library of the Taoist Academy was deserted, and very few people came to read these books that had little effect, and everyone seemed to have the heart to stay away from Lin Yue, so he was the only one in the library at this time.
There was silence in the bookstore, only the sound of Lin Yue's flipping books remained.
Time passed quietly.
Lin Yue almost forgot to sleep and eat to flip through the seemingly useless classics, almost the sun and the moon, until the sky was dark, and the room was a little unclear, he didn't react.
"I'll come back to this one after reading it."
Lin Yue glanced at the "Theory of River Mapping" in his hand, thought for a while, and prepared to light an oil lamp and look at it for a while.
That's when —
"Bell!"
A high-pitched bell rang in his head.
At the same time, everything in front of me was instantly still, and the faint sound of insects outside the study room also disappeared completely, and everything was silent, only the majestic sound of the bell echoed.
"Today's coming."
Lin Yue didn't react, just listened silently.
The secrets of the past half a month, without exception, have been a ringing level, which makes him anxious and helpless.
He didn't know what level of secrecy he needed to solve his current predicament.
But when it comes to such a major event that shakes the world as the heir of the God Emperor, it is expected to help his secret, which must be of a very high level.
It's useless to make a mere sound.
"Bell!"
There was another high-pitched and grand ringing of the bell and the ringing, and a trace of anticipation suddenly surged in Lin Yue's heart.
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
"Bell!"
Listening to the sound of a majestic bell ringing continuously, Lin Yue couldn't help but be a little stunned, and his heart was even more surprised.
It wasn't until five bells rang in a row that it stopped completely.
"It's the secret of the Five Rings!"
After Lin Yue counted the number of times the bell rang, he was immediately overjoyed.
After he came to this world, the first secret he obtained from the innate supernatural power was the Eight Rings level.
But this secret has no effect on him at all, and it also makes him a little frightened, for fear of accidentally leaking his mouth, and he dare not reveal a little bit to the outside world.
In addition, the highest level is a five-ring-level secret, which allowed him to obtain an extremely strange treasure on the mysterious corpse in a hidden cave.
And the other secrets of the lower levels did not help him in his current predicament.
But now he heard the bell ring five times in a row again!
Lin Yue couldn't help but feel excited in his heart, and hurriedly listened carefully, for fear that there would be some mistakes and omissions.
The next moment, only to hear an illusory whisper sounded in his head, whispering to him—
"You know what? In the cave where you get the strange treasure 'All Living Beings', the stone wall at the end of the cave is actually a secret door, and inside the door is a cave, but only the original owner of the cave can open the cave by tapping the nine directions of the stone wall with his bare hands in turn with the Luo Shu number of the nine palace gossip. ”
When the whisper died down, everything was back to normal.
In the sound of insects chirping in the autumn night, Lin Yue held the scroll in his hand, stood in place in a daze, and muttered: "It turns out that the cave is ...... Is it a cave? ”
At this moment, great hope and expectation suddenly arose in his heart.
Although he didn't know what was in that cave, he found such a precious treasure as the 'appearance of all beings' just in front of the door of the cave.
If you can get in, maybe you can really find a glimmer of hope......
"Gotta be, I have to find a way to get in."
Lin Yue's eyes suddenly became fierce, and there was incomparable desire and determination hidden in it.
