Chapter 45: The Ghost Clan
The first day of the guided practice finally passed as the sun set under the mountain.
Su Li fought with Shi Niang a total of five times, which can be called the most of several people. followed by Li Tiancheng and Ji Zhongyang, both of whom looked like three or four times. Yue Zixuan and Liu Zifeng are both two, it is worth mentioning that Yue Zixuan's cultivation of the mind is extremely solid, which makes Qin Shuyun a little impressed, and all kinds of magic techniques are mellow and free. Liu Zifeng is inexperienced, so he was warned that he still needs to work his mental method. The method of divination cultivated by the Mandate of Heaven is completely different from that of everyone else, and it is not played.
At the end of the day, Su Li was sore and embarrassed, his face was full of bitterness, and he called it unfair. When everyone saw him like that, they were overjoyed.
......
In the evening, Liu Zifeng had dinner and returned to the room.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, but instead of immediately starting to meditate, he quietly thought about the day's events. The bull ghost summoned by Su Li didn't know what means he used to say a word to him in his head.
"Ghost boy, I'm very optimistic about you, but your Taoism is too low now. If one day you encounter something that you can't solve, remember to call my name in your heart, and call the deity a cow ghost. Today's marriage is also for the future. I was originally a demon body, and only when I completely atone for my sins can I be reincarnated. ”
Liu Zifeng thought about this sentence quietly, and couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in that mysterious place, the scene of evil ghosts driving away ghosts.
"Oni ...... What does this have to do with me?"
He pondered for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. In desperation, I got up and got dressed, and went out to the left.
After walking a distance of dozens of meters, a small building appeared in front of me, and a mottled plaque on it could vaguely see the words "Library Building". This small building is only two floors, and it is faintly lit inside, and it is quite quiet and flickering.
Liu Zifeng pushed the door in, only to see a table on the left side of the door, and a scrawny old man was leaning back on a chair and snoring. Hearing the movement at the door, his eyelids raised slightly, glanced at Liu Zifeng, and stopped paying attention to him.
Liu Zifeng stayed where he was, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to bow his hand, and when he saw that the old man didn't pay attention to his meaning, he went into the house.
This library must be some years old, and the first floor inside is an old and mottled bookshelf covered with dust. In some places, the dust was so thick that even the names of the books were not clear.
Liu Zifeng frowned and looked at the bookshelves on the left and right as he walked inside. These books are also very old, and they seem to have been put in a long time ago, and they have been placed for an unknown number of years when no one cleans them on weekdays.
Liu Zifeng casually picked up a booklet whose cover had been yellowed, and gently patted the dust on it, revealing a few words: Youzhou Tianhuanglu.
He gently opened the pages of the book, looked at it a few times, and then put it back in its place, most of which were recorded some strange things and interesting places in Youzhou. After a few more turns, he picked up a smaller, thinner book from the other side, which read: Anecdote of the Southeast Twin Witches. The book tells the story of two similar sects in the southeast of Kyushu and hundreds of miles east of Nanze, which are called the White Witch Gate and the Black Witch Gate. This book is mainly a record of some customs and practices in the witch sect, which is quite interesting.
Liu Zifeng was interested in these ancient books such as insights, but what he was looking for for was a book about the affairs of the Liu family. Putting down the scroll in his hand, after he took a big turn on the first layer, he still didn't find a clue about the Liu family.
Since there is no one here, it is most likely in the second layer. Liu Zifeng thought of this, so he raised his legs and walked over the second floor. There was no light in the black hole on the second floor, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.
When Liu Zifeng's figure disappeared into the darkness on the second floor, the old man who was snoring and sleeping on the table at the door of the first floor opened his eyes suddenly, glanced in the direction of Liu Zifeng, tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times, and then changed his posture and continued to doze.
On the second floor, it was pitch black. However, when Liu Zifeng was about to find the location of the oil lamp, the surrounding walls suddenly lit up, and the darkness was erased.
Liu Zifeng was startled, a little unclear. The slightly dim white light lit up, but it could also illuminate the things on the second floor. On the roof of the wooden structure, inlaid with six night pearls the size of a fist, Liu Zifeng looked ahead and was taken aback.
The second floor and the first floor are not much different in size, but only two bookshelves are placed in the center. The bookshelf is divided into four layers, and the whole body is crystal clear, exuding a trace of coldness. On top of it were boxes of ink-black sizes, as if absorbing all the light. Other than that, the rest of the place is empty, but it is not cleaned, as if someone is cleaning it from time to time.
Liu Zifeng glanced at it, and secretly said in his heart that the second floor of this library building is not simple. Looking around, I didn't find anything strange. As a result, there are only black boxes on the shelves, and I don't know what strange items are inside.
He walked straight to the bookshelf, on which the black boxes were neatly arranged, with a total of thirty-two black boxes on each floor, four on each floor. Each box was labeled, and Liu Zifeng looked intently at one of them, with the word "Qin" written on it.
Gently removing the black box, Liu Zifeng opened the box and saw a pile of heavy bamboo slips placed in it. Picking up one of the sections, there were some unknown characters on it, and Liu Zifeng looked at it for a long time, and could only recognize some of the handwriting. After that, I couldn't read it anymore.
Put the bamboo slips into the black box, and put the black box back in its place, Liu Zifeng carefully looked along the boxes one by one. At the end, his eyes lit up, and he found another black box at the very end of the lower level of the bookshelf on the other side, and the label on it did not have words, but depicted a clear and unusual leaf.
The leaves are small and narrow, and the veins are clearly visible, which are common willow leaves on the outside. Liu Zifeng was excited when he saw this, and hurriedly bent down to hold the box in his hand, and opened it gently like a treasure. Inside the black box, there is still a pile of cyan bamboo slips.
"The Liu family!"
Liu Zifeng forcibly pressed the excitement in his heart, took those bamboo slips in his hands, and looked at them intently. After a moment, his brow furrowed slightly, apparently reading a strange place, and he didn't know why.
"Boy, you're not doing it right. ”
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice sounded behind Liu Zifeng. Liu Zifeng was suddenly startled, couldn't help but be covered in blue light, hurriedly turned around and took two steps back, and then looked forward.
I saw that the thin old man, who was still sleeping at the door, came to him silently at some point, with his hands behind his back, his hair hanging loosely, and a pair of bright and deep eyes, looking at him quietly.
Then, with a slight wave of his hand, the old man immediately forced the blue light around Liu Zifeng's body back into his body. On the second floor of the entire library building, only the dim white light emitted by the night pearl remained.
"Former ...... Senior, why did you come up?"
Liu Zifeng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed. With a wave of his hand, this old man was able to force the Dao Light around him into his body, and he was really a great master.
With one move, the old man brought the box in Liu Zifeng's hand with the bamboo slips, and then gently closed it and put it back in its place. After that, he glanced at Liu Zifeng with drooping eyelids, and said, "Boy, it's useless for you to see this thing, what do you want to know, how about the old man tell you a story?"
Liu Zifeng was speechless, although he was a little impatient in his heart, but he also knew that this old man was very human. As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and he can only nod at this time and say: "The seniors are willing to tell, and the younger generations are naturally willing to listen." ”
When the old man saw him like this, he nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked downstairs, and he didn't know what trick he had in his hand, and all the light was extinguished.
"Come down with me. ”
A light voice sounded in Liu Zifeng's head, and the latter immediately followed the old man downstairs. When he reached the first floor, the old man turned the corner again and walked towards the darkness in the staircase. Liu Zifeng followed behind the old man, only to find that there was a secret door behind the stairs.
The secret door opened, and the inside was as bright as day, and a long corridor emerged. Every meter has a night pearl that is several times larger than the second floor, which looks extremely luxurious. Liu Zifeng was taken aback in his heart, and he was a little unclear. Could it be that there are more valuable things here?
suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed the old man's footsteps inside. After walking a short distance, I saw the old man raise his right hand and gently knock on the wall a few times, and then he heard a "boom", and a stone room appeared on the left side.
The stone chamber appears to have been hollowed out of a large boulder with its own winter. Tables, chairs, and stools, a stone bed, and several stone sculptures of beasts are all connected to the stone chamber. The old man entered the room in front of him, beckoned to Liu Zifeng, and motioned for him to come in.
After Liu Zifeng came in, he looked at everything in the stone room with some surprise, and there were all kinds of strange things on the walls of the stone room. There are scrolls, beast teeth, glowing stones, and more. What surprised him even more was that he actually saw two familiar shadows.
"Squeak!" Wow!"
A small black shadow and a snow-white abnormally big dog were running towards him happily, who else could there be if it wasn't Hei Yan and Xiao Bai. Liu Zifeng also wondered if these two guys didn't make a fuss at Falling Moon Peak in the past few days, and disappeared, but he didn't expect to come here.
Hei Yan climbed onto his shoulder familiarly, and Xiao Bai also ran to him, rubbing his head on his robe, where there was a little bit of a "mountain protection spirit beast".
The old man had already taken out something from one side of the wall, walked over to Liu Zifeng, and said, "Liu family boy, sit down!"
Liu Zifeng was shocked in his heart, and his identity was revealed by this old man's words, and at this moment, he felt that the old man was even more mysterious. Before this old man, only the old man who was a liar knew that he was a member of the Liu family, and then Qin Shuyun, the teacher. It's just that Qin Shuyun is Liu Zifeng's aunt, which is not surprising. And when the old man said it so easily, he was a little shocked.
Liu Zifeng sat down obediently, muttering with some apprehension in his heart, not knowing what the old man would say next.
