Chapter Seventy-Eight: Night Exploration of the Book Pavilion
Running out of the alley quickly, Liu Yi came to the back of the library.
Leaning against the wall and looking up, you can see the cornices on the first floor.
He removed the hemp rope that was wound around his body, and in his right hand held the tip with a hook with a hook that he had changed from a rake, which he had bent in an arc with a stone in the afternoon, to make it easier to grasp.
The left hand grabbed the back section to keep balance, and the right hand shook the hemp rope vigorously, and threw it out violently with full strength after more than a dozen rounds.
The hook flew towards the corner of the cornice, but with a "poof," the hook deflected off the corner and landed on the ground.
The first time he didn't hit the target, Liu Yi took back the hemp rope and did it again.
After the second failure, he had basically grasped the strength and direction, and the third time he threw out a crisp "click," and the hook finally stuck on the cornice.
Liu Yi was happy in his heart, but he didn't forget to glance around, and when he saw that no one was passing by, he was ready to climb up.
After pulling the hemp rope vigorously with both hands to confirm that it was strong, he grasped the rope with both hands and slowly climbed up with his feet against the wall.
By the moonlight he could barely see the direction he was heading, and soon he reached the top of the first floor.
Removing the hook and retracting the twine, he did not continue upward, but sat down and gasped, this time the action was not as easy as he thought.
His hands were a little sore, and he didn't know if it was because the injury was not healed, or if it took too much strength to climb up.
However, he would not give up, and after breathing steadily, he shook his arm and continued to climb up.
In the same way, the rope hook got stuck on the warped corner, and this time he succeeded in using it only once.
The distance from the second floor to the third floor was not far, and he didn't climb long, and then he climbed to the top of the spire in one breath.
At last he reached the top of the library, and after retrieving his tools, he sat down and looked down at the top of the room.
He still had to take a breather, after all, climbing two floors in a row still consumed a lot of physical strength.
Also look down to see if anyone is nearby, after all, high places are the easiest places to be noticed.
Seeing that there was a firelight moving not far away, Liu Yi saw that there was a disciple patrolling the night, but the direction was not coming from this side, so he didn't worry anymore.
But just in case, he also stood up and hurried to finish this matter, in case someone found out, it would be troublesome.
Turning around and looking back, the spire was a square shape, and beyond that was the top of the tower, which was sharp and thin.
Liu Yi looked at the extra fourth layer in front of him, and estimated that it was only a few feet long and wide, and the place was too small to fit anything.
But if you only put one book, that's more than enough.
He approached and checked, and it was sealed tightly with wooden planks, and he couldn't see the situation inside.
What should I do?
Liu Yi couldn't make up his mind for a while, if he smashed it directly, he was afraid that he would be discovered, but he was unwilling to climb for so long and not see inside.
Suddenly thinking that he still had tools, he had an idea, and used the hook on the front of the hemp rope to pry open the plank, and after reading it, he could smash it back so that he could not be noticed.
He gripped his claws and inserted it into the end of the plank, priddling it outward.
"Crunch, crunch," after a moment of knocking, the plank finally loosened, and when he put down his hook, he broke the plank with both hands.
Liu Yi gently put the wooden board aside, and he looked through the gap in the wooden plank.
Behind the planks was pitch black, and he couldn't see inside.
He touched the edge of the door frame, but luckily he wasn't very strong, and he could get into it with his side.
But he also had to prepare, fortunately, he prepared a hand in advance, and took out the fire fold from his arms to blow it up.
Holding the fire fold in front of him, he stepped cautiously through the gap in the plank.
His feet fell to the ground, and his heart was much more steady, and he raised the fire fold to illuminate the place where he was now.
As seen from the outside, the room was very small, and a single fire broke the room to illuminate the room.
The room was not large and had an unobstructed view, and Liu Yi only had a table in front of him, and a wooden box was placed on it.
The wooden box was not locked, Liu Yi walked over, he hesitated, what was inside, was it something he wanted to see.
If it is the Yin and Yang Qi Formula, what should he do, is it to take it?
To open or not to open, he has no certainty in his heart.
But now that he's here, he wants to take a look at it anyway, to see what's inside.
Placing the fire fold on the wooden table, he slowly opened the wooden box with both hands.
There was a book lying quietly in the box, and there were four big characters on it written on it!
Liu Yi was stunned in place, his mind was blank, the power of this exercise was deeply imprinted in his mind, and it was now at his fingertips.
He still didn't move, he didn't open the book, because the history of the Tai Chi Sect had already written that more than a dozen people, including elders, had all died violently, and would he be able to cultivate successfully?
There was a great struggle within him.
On the one hand, there is a desire for great strength, and on the other hand, there is a fear of death.
Time is ticking, little by little.
He didn't know how long he had been standing, his heart was beating violently because of the struggle, and cold sweat was dripping from his face.
Originally, this was not the complex emotions that he should have as a teenager, but the experience during this time made him have to think more and worry more.
"Just take a look, just look at a page and it should be fine. ”
The voice in his heart kept recalling, and his hand slowly opened the book.
Because the fate written in the history of Taiji Sect was too terrifying, Liu Yi was still a little frightened.
But when I opened the first page, there were not many words on it, and I saw that it said, "Everything in heaven and earth is divided into yin and yang, people are cold when yin is prosperous, and hot when yang is prosperous, and yin and yang are in harmony with all things." ”
With just these few words, Liu Yi looked at it with some doubts, he had heard of this sentence and had a general understanding.
There are similarities in Tai Chi taught by the Master, but there is nothing to be seen in these words.
He slammed the book shut, and after just reading a page, he felt like he had exhausted all his strength.
After closing the book, he left the room, covered the wooden planks to cover up the marks, and then climbed down the book with a hook and rope and walked back to his room.
In an alley not far away, under the shadow of the root of the wall, two figures took in Liu Yi's movements.
"It seems that he didn't take the exercises. ”
"Well, this kid is still very cautious, but I'm sure he'll come back. ”
"I'm still a little worried that you chose him to practice this exercise!"
"He is the most suitable, the requirements for cultivation are too strict, but when I saw his performance at the competition, I knew that he was very suitable. ”
"But he hasn't been here for long, and if his cultivation is not successful, then ....... ”
"I owe the lives of his parents, and I owe the lives of all the people in his village, although he was very quiet and obedient during this time, I felt that there was a backlog in his heart, he would not want to stay in the sect all the time to grow up, I had to do my best to help him. ”
"Whatever you want, junior brother, just don't do stupid things!"
"Ever since the man in black appeared, I have felt that this world is no longer peaceful, and if he succeeds in cultivating, it will also be beneficial to the sect. ”
"I hope so....... ”
After a brief conversation, the two disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
On the second day, Liu Yi still woke up early, although he acted late last night, his spirit was still good.
He was still haunted by the Yin Yang Qi recipe in his heart, but he didn't see anything at all after reading a page.
After breakfast, the master took him to the locust tree.
Skylark said, "Your body has fully recovered, and you can start cultivating." ”
Liu Yi said with excitement on his face: "Great, Master, it's only been two days that I feel like I'm not used to it if I don't practice." ”
"Hahaha, let's play a set of Tai Chi as a teacher to see if you are rusty. ”
"Hmm!" Liu Yi nodded heavily and moved slowly.
One move and one style are continuous, and there is no sense of jerkiness.
Watching Liu Yi finish beating the lark, he said: "Okay, sure enough, you are not rusty, your moves are already proficient, but the response to the fight is still a little worse, Dong Yan, this kid is very good, you can practice with him more." ”
"Master's guidance is right, and I feel that too, when dealing with Zhang Dabao, I feel that I still have too many shortcomings. ”
"Don't be discouraged and take your time, you're no worse than others. ”
Liu Yi nodded, he had never been discouraged.
The lark didn't sit down anymore, he stood up and said: "You cultivate, go to work for the teacher, by the way, the Tongluo Pill will personally guide you to take it, don't eat it yourself, there is a way to eat this pill." ”
Liu Yi bowed and said, "Don't worry, Master." ”
Master seems to be very busy all the time, although he doesn't know what Master is busy with, but he has also heard Uncle Qi say that many things in the sect are handled by the master and the head of the sect.
Looking at Master's distant figure, he felt guilty in his heart, because just now he wanted to tell Master what he had done last night, but he hesitated and didn't say it.
Because he made a decision, he was going to copy the Yin and Yang Qi Technique, he was going to practice this exercise, he wanted to become strong.
It's not a whim, he's been thinking about it for a long time, and taking his time is not what he wants.
After thinking about it, he walked towards Tianqian Courtyard.
