Chapter 18 The Library Cabinet
The library of Huofu is built by a tall tower, with a total of five floors, and the appearance is very simple, but it gives people a long-term atmosphere.
Under the tower sat a dozing young man, who seemed to be only in his twenties, holding a book of secret methods that he was reading, the scroll had been flipped through more than a dozen pages, and it was engraved with dense words.
"Wake up Xing Qing, we have to enter the library pavilion. Xiaohui shook the sleepy young man named Xing Qing, but Xing Qing didn't seem to have any reaction and was still asleep.
Xiao Chen was anxious now, seeing that the exercises were close at hand, he didn't bother to think about it so much, and besides, there didn't seem to be any other guards in front of the door except for the young man, so he decided to go in first, after all, he also had a jade pendant in his hand, and it was not hard to break into the library pavilion.
After deciding, he walked quickly to the library pavilion, just as one foot stepped into the tower, a beam of white light exploded in front of his eyes, he was shocked, and immediately jumped back to avoid the fatal blow, and simply reacted in time enough, otherwise it is estimated that he would be killed by this blow.
Xiao Chen was puzzled, and it was strange to say, where did the white light come from, in addition to himself and Xiaohui, there were only the young people who were sleeping, how could there be an extra white light for no reason?
"Sister Xiaohui, is there still a mechanism in this library pavilion?" Xiao Chen asked suspiciously.
"Xiaohui has lived in the mansion for decades, and has never heard of a mechanism in the library. Xiaohui was also very confused for a while, although she rarely came to the library on weekdays, but she had never heard of the library having an organ.
"Isn't that young man making trouble?" Xiao Chen looked at the young man, but the young man had not changed as before, and he couldn't help but think that he was thinking too much, but even so, no matter what was blocking him, he had to enter the library to get the exercises today.
Xiao Chen was very careful when he re-entered the library this time, and he couldn't help but have a drop of sweat on his face, for fear that he would be prepared when the white light appeared again.
As expected, this time the white light appeared out of thin air again, Xiao Chen felt the slight aura on the white light, predicted the location to explode in advance, and propped his palms on the ground to stand upside down, avoiding the white light.
As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he found that there were two auras locked behind him, and his palm immediately turned, and the whole person was shaken out by the aftermath of the explosion, and he took several steps back when he landed.
Xiao Chen gasped, looked at Xing Qing with flashing eyes and said, "Sure enough, you are making trouble!"
"How is it possible, isn't Xing Qing dozing? How could it be him?" Xiao Hui felt very strange, and she didn't know where Xiao Chen came to her conclusion, so she insisted that it was the white light released by Xing Qing who was sleeping.
"Do you still plan to continue pretending to be a ghost?" From the white light just now, although only a trace of spiritual energy flashed, he was still caught by Xiao Chen, and at the moment of the explosion, he found that Xing Qing's body actually exuded the same aura as the white light, although he insisted that Xing Qing must be doing it.
Xiao Chen saw that Xing Qing still didn't move after he finished speaking, so he punched out, wanting Xing Qing to be sober and sober.
When the fist was swung out, Xing Qing finally moved, although his eyes were still closed, he stretched out his palm to catch Xiao Chen's fist, and a burst of white light spread out from his palm, forcing Xiao Chen back to his original position.
This time, Xiao Chen was not so comfortable, the white light hit his body, making him feel a thump in his chest and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Xiao Gongzi!" Xiao Hui's face changed greatly, and she rushed over to support Xiao Chen, and took out a pill from a small turquoise bottle for Xiao Chen to take.
"I can resist hard, and it seems that I am not incompetent. Xing Qing stood up from the stool, opened his eyes and closed the book in his hand, leaning his hands behind his back, his eyes glaring at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's punch just now made Xing Qing unable to grasp it, and he actually felt the existence of a trace of aura from the punch, but after thinking about it carefully, it was unlikely that such a young child would have a soul cultivation so he dispelled this idea.
Although he was hit by a blow, Xiao Chen also felt the rapid flow of aura in his body to heal the wound, and the punch he had just made was also a sign that the aura was about to overflow.
"Little ghost, do you know that trespassing in the library is a capital crime?" Xing Qing's palms protruded aura, seeing that Xiaohui cared about Xiao Chen, and he had admiration for Xiaohui, the hostility towards Xiao Chen at this moment was very great.
"Xing Qing, what are you doing!" Xiao Hui stared at Xing Qing angrily, he didn't expect Xing Qing to actually give Xiao Chen such a heavy hand.
"Xiaohui, why are you still talking to him...... , he trespassed on the library pavilion, and Huo Fu strictly ordered all those who trespassed on the library pavilion, and those who resisted the order were sentenced to death. Xing Qing hates Xiao Chen more and more, Xiaohui is gentle and virtuous on weekdays, and she won't yell at herself even if she doesn't do anything, but today she yelled at herself for Xiao Chen.
"What is it called trespassing in the library pavilion, Xiao Gongzi is a disciple of the master, and he has a jade pendant token given by the master himself, there is no such thing as trespassing, if Xiao Gongzi has anything to do, I will ignore you in the future!" Xiao Hui said angrily.
"I ......" Xing Qing felt aggrieved for a while, he didn't know that Xiao Chen was Huo Laowei's disciple, and he was just fulfilling the duty of guarding the library pavilion.
"Forget Sister Xiaohui, it's not to blame Brother Xing, I didn't tell me to enter the library before, it was my fault first, and Brother Xing just did his duty. Xiao Chen thought that he would have to go in and out of the library often in the future, if the relationship with Xing Qing was stiff, it would not be of any benefit to him, even if he was really dissatisfied with Xing Qing's way of doing things, but he didn't have much to say at the moment.
"Yes, yes, Brother Xiao is right. Xing Qing hurriedly responded.
"Hmph, Xiao Gongzi, let's ignore him, let's go in. Xiao Hui didn't want to pay attention to Xing Qing at all, and helped Xiao Chen to walk towards the library pavilion.
Xiaohui's indifference made Xing Qing feel very helpless, obviously he didn't receive a notice, why did Huo Lao have an extra disciple out of thin air?
Not long after Xiao Chen entered the Library Pavilion, a guard hurriedly ran over to find Xing Qing and said, "Brother Xing! Master has an order, Xiao Chen will be his disciple in the future, and he must not be stopped from entering the Library Pavilion." ”
"You didn't say it earlier!" Xing Qing was almost stunned on the ground, if the guards came over earlier, he wouldn't have been able to get Xiaohui, then he wouldn't have felt disgusted with himself.
On the first floor of the Library Pavilion, Xiao Chen was attracted by all kinds of soul cultivation exercises, and he suddenly felt that this place was like heaven, which couldn't help but make him say "Knowledge is power".
"I have to say that the library pavilion is really big, and it took more than half an hour to find the scroll of condensation exercises from the small corners of a pile of books. Xiao Chen took the scroll and patted off the dust covered on it, and the book leaked out of its original appearance after a while, and the words "Xuan Soul Condensation" written on the cover attracted him to turn the first page immediately.
