Chapter 111 The Library Cave

As soon as Ran Xiangqin left, He Xuanya asked me: "The letter you read at night should be from Daddy Qiu to the sailors, right? ”

I said, "Daddy said in the letter to me that I could read the letter to the sailors first." ”

He Xuanya said: "Did the letter say something about the drought people? ”

I said, "How do you know?"

He Xuanya smiled and said, "When I gave you a flashlight, I peeked at a paragraph, which seems to be written about the sailor's grandmother going to the temple to worship." ”

I said: "The letter wrote in detail all the process of becoming the mother of the Drought Tribe, after the disappearance of the sailor's grandmother half a year ago. ”

He Xuanya said: "Then quickly show the letter to the sailors, after reading the letter, he should be able to believe what we say." ”

I said, "I think the same thing, just to find a chance to show him when no one is around." ”

He Xuanya said: "That's easy, tomorrow morning you go to the stream at the bottom of the west slope and wait, and I will bring the sailors." ”

I said, "That's the best, it's very rare to go down the western slope." Okay, I'm going back to sleep, are you going down the mountain with me or just sleeping here?"

He Xuanya said, "I've been sleeping with Master recently. I won't go down the mountain, and now I guess all the people in my family are asleep, and no one has opened the door for me. By the way, you are the same, don't go down the mountain, sleep here. ”

I said, "There are only two side rooms on it, one for you and the fairy grandmother, and I have no place to sleep." You can't sleep on this alchemy. ”

After hearing this, He Xuanya said, "Follow me." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the cliff to the right of the seat.

Walking to the long table in the shape of a curved ruler, He Xuanya recited two mantras, and a stone door rumbled open on the cliff wall.

He Xuanya entered the stone gate, and I followed.

There was a black hole inside, and there was nothing to see, He Xuanya went straight into the darkness, and after a while, the inside lit up, it was He Xuanya who lit the candle on the candlestick seat.

The candlestick seat is a tree-shaped copper shelf supported by a teacup-thick column, the shelf is composed of dozens of copper branches extending from the main pillar, and at the top of each branch there is a tray-like candlestick, the candlestick is high in the middle and low on all sides, arranged in a staggered manner in the shape of a hill, and a dark yellow candle is inserted on each candlestick.

He Xuanya lit only three or four of them.

By candlelight, I found a large circular hole, surrounded by bookshelves that stretched from the ground up to the edge of the vaulted roof, and were filled with books.

He Xuanya looked back and saw my surprised expression, and said proudly, "This is Master's book cave. The books here are all strange books handed down from ancient times, and you can't see them anywhere else. There are also some strategies for protecting the clan in the writings of Ximu in the past dynasties. Don't move. ”

I nodded.

He Xuanya pointed behind me and said, "You'll sleep there tonight." ”

I looked back and saw a square table, a few chairs, and a small bed on the side of the hole.

He Xuanya said, "That's where Master consults ancient books, and sometimes she can stay in it for days without coming out. ”

I turned around and walked to the edge of the bed, sat on it and said, "Didn't Grandma the Fairy say this morning, let's not sneak into the library cave, she won't blame us for coming in like this, right?"

He Xuanya smiled and said, "It's okay, Master is just talking, as long as you don't touch the books on the west shelf, it's fine." Otherwise, she wouldn't have taught me the secrets of the book cave. ”

She said, gesturing to a separate bookshelf facing the entrance to the cave. Unlike the other bookshelves, this one has doors on it, turns into a bookcase, and locks it.

I listened, dispelled the doubts in my heart, and said to He Xuanya: "Then I will sleep, you can go to sleep too." ”

He Xuanya snorted, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave, and said as she walked, "I'll close the door of the cave first, and I'll come down early tomorrow morning to open the door for you." ”

After saying that, he walked out of the cave, and the door of the cave was immediately closed.

As soon as I fell asleep, I vaguely felt a strong light shining on my eyelids, and my eyes were blood-red.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a bright light peeking through the crack in the locked bookcase door, illuminating the entire library as bright as day.

I got up and walked towards the bookcase, and as soon as I was halfway there, the door of the bookcase opened, and ten thousand golden rays of light shot out from it, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

I raised my arm to cover my eyes.

At this time, I heard the voice of someone on the opposite side of the poem: "Muye Yangyang, Tanche Huanghuang, Si Fei Peng." Master Wei, Shi Weiyingyang. King Liang Biwu, wanton the big merchants, will be Qingming. ”

I lowered my arm and saw an old man with gray hair and a long white beard coming out of the bookshelf cabinet. The old man wore a hat on his head, a lily coat, and a fish basket with a leaky bottom hanging from his waist.

The old man came up to me and said, "Son, I can't bear to see you so young, but you are about to fall into the crisis of the world for thousands of years. ”

I was amazed by this situation. I asked curiously, "Grandpa, who are you?" and how did you come out of the bookcase? ”

When the old man heard this, he laughed and said, "I, I am a person who has a close relationship with you, so how can I say it, I can be regarded as your relative." I came from the bookcase because I was in a book, and I had been lying in a book for thousands of years. ”

I was even more surprised.

When the old man saw that I was puzzled, he said, "Don't worry about this yet. I'm here today to have a few things to say to you. ”

I said, "Say it." ”

The old man said, "Thousands of years ago, I was arranged by God to change the pattern of the world, and now, it is your turn again. Heaven has chosen you, but it is very difficult for you. But you can't excuse yourself, let alone retreat. No matter what you encounter in the future, you can only always remember one sentence: there is a road ahead, there will always be an abyss behind you, you can live if you move forward, and you can never recover if you retreat. ”

I asked curiously, "Can you be a little clearer about what exactly you want me to do?"

The old man said, "You will naturally know in the future, and now, you just need to remember these few words." ”

I repeated his words: "There is a road ahead, and there will always be an abyss behind you. ”

The old man stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

Then the old man took out a book from his bosom and handed it to me, saying, "You must practice this book well, and you must not neglect it, for it will be of great use in the future." ”

I took the book and saw that the cover was already yellow, and there were four words written on it: Zhuolu's Testament.

I opened "Zhuolu's Testament", and every page in it was painted with a villain, holding a sword-like weapon, making various movements, and there were small characters on the side.

Before I could read the small print on it, the light from the bookcase suddenly became stronger and stronger.

The white-haired old man gradually melted into the bright light until he was completely swallowed by the bright light.

I tried to reach for the old man, but I didn't catch anything.

I panicked and shouted, "Grandpa!"

At this moment, those bright lights suddenly converged into a knife of light, slashing at me.

I screamed and sat up from the bed, it turned out to be a dream. The light knife turned out to be the sunlight reflecting off the bookcase latch, and it fell right on my pillow.

I got up and got out of bed, and saw a round skylight at the top of the cave, facing the large hole in the cave outside, through which the sunlight came in, and through the skylight of the cave, it shone on the locked bookcase on the west side.

I walked around the library and returned to my bed, only to see a scene that made my blood gush all over my body.

There is a book next to my pillow, which is the old man who gave me "Zhuolu's Testament".

I picked up "Zhuolu's Testament" and flipped through it, and the content in it was exactly the same as in my dream.

I stood beside the bed in a daze, thinking back to the scenes in my dreams, not knowing if they were dreams or reality.

At this time, the stone door of the library cave rattled and slowly opened.

I quickly lifted my shirt, pinned the book to the waistband of my trousers, and pulled down the corner.

At the same time, He Xuanya walked in.

"How did you sleep last night? You didn't mess with your books, did you?" asked He Xuanya as soon as she came in.

I said, "As soon as you went out last night, I fell asleep." I woke up a minute ago, and I had no chance to move a book. ”

He Xuanya said, "That's good. Let's go. ”

I said, "What about Grandma Fairy?"

He Xuanya said: "Master went out early in the morning, I don't know why I went, we can just go to do our business." It's a pity that last night, I thought about the excuse of going out in the middle of the night, but it didn't come in handy. ”

As we talked, we walked out of the library hole, and I subconsciously looked down at my waist and saw that there were no flaws, so I was relieved.

He Xuanya recited the mantra and closed the stone door of the library cave, which became a part of the cliff again, and there was no secret door in the slightest.

We went up to the ground together and headed out for the western slope.

When they arrived at the western slope, He Xuanya said, "You go down to the big steamed bun-shaped stone by the stream and wait, and I'll go find the sailors." ”

After speaking, he walked towards the mountain pass on the north side of the western slope.

After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "You give me the letter, and I will show it to the sailors first, so that he can believe that there is really a letter, and he will not hesitate, and I will not have to worry about it." ”

I was about to reach for the letter on my waist, when I suddenly thought of the book "Zhuolu's Testament", so I quickly retracted my hand.

He Xuanya said, "What's wrong with you? Hurry up and get the letter!"

I swallowed for a long time, and said, "You'd better not tell the sailors about the letter first, as soon as he says that there is a letter, he shouts, and then let Uncle Shiwa or Aunt Su Zhen hear, if they keep asking questions, not only will neither of you be able to get out, but you may also be bad." ”

He Xuanya looked at me, her eyes rolled in the frame of her eyes twice, then looked at me and said, "Look at your stinginess, aren't you afraid that the letter will be lost?" Well, take good care of yourself, and be careful not to fall into the hut when you go to the toilet. ”

After saying that, he giggled and jumped away.

My face suddenly became hot, and I was worried about whether she had discovered "Zhuolu's Secret".

At this moment, I felt that the "Zhuolu Testament" on the waistband of my pants had become unusually heavy, and it was slowly falling downward, as if it was about to fall into the crotch of my pants. At the same time, I also felt uncomfortable in my waist.

I don't think I can take this book with me anymore.
