Chapter 117: The Book Building Bat
The meditation building is built on a majestic cliff face, the dark building is suspended in the air, and the surrounding fog is shrouded in fog, which is extremely strange and strange in the dim night.
Qianji hurriedly took Lin Niang out of the encirclement, avoiding the pursuit of the palace guards, and a cloud of mist rose under her feet, borrowing the strength of a long silk, and rushed into the two vermilion gates of the palace of the meditation building.
Immediately after a white-clothed shadow flashed, Yue Hengtang hugged Zi Ning tightly, his figure flickered a few ups and downs, and the two appeared in the main hall of the library building.
Looking at it slightly, I saw rows of bookshelves densely overlapped, filled with a deep and dark mist.
"The Emperor?" Chihime shouted cautiously as she hid behind a bookshelf. Seeing that it was really them who came, he finally let go of his hanging heart.
Yue Hengtang hurriedly raised his sleeves and threw out two soft night pearls upward, and the white light slowly rose, shining on the beams and pillars of the empty palace.
Qianji wiped the sweat on her head, it was really thrilling in the dormitory just now, if it weren't for Yue Hengtang's appearance, she would probably die under the Pingjiayue Immortal Law today. Finally breathing a sigh of relief, she walked out from behind the bookshelf with a stumbling and tired step. Lin Niang followed her tremblingly, her face was full of nervousness and horror, she stumbled twice, and stepped forward to hug Zi Ning at once.
The hall was very cold, and a layer of white ice flowers formed on the densely carved windows, and the breath in the mouth condensed into a ball of white gas. Yue Hengtang looked around a few times, and said in a deep voice: "This library is where the relics of the Hair Dove Kingdom are located, not far from the Zunhua Palace, if the Emperor of the Hair Dove meets the Heavenly Demon Messenger, it is easiest to hide people's eyes and ears here." ”
He exuded the breath of the dantian to probe, and found that the breath here was very messy, indicating that there were often outsiders coming and going. When I looked up, I saw a long table on the bluestone floor, and a grim black bat ink drawing hung on the wall behind it, which was the mark of the Heavenly Demon Clan.
At this time, Qianji spoke: "When the emperor meets with the Heavenly Demon Envoy, he will inevitably hide it from the empress, and it is impossible to blatantly come in from the outside. Glancing at the stacked bookshelves around him, he added, "Maybe there's a secret passage in and out of this library." ”
The library building is built according to the cliff, with a high ceiling in the air, which is very deep and magnificent, and the fog is swirling, as if it cannot touch the distance of the edge. Several people stood in the center of the hall, looking up, and their figures were even smaller compared to the height of the entire hall.
The last time Zi Ning and Mo Yikui sneaked in, the two of them were lying on the beams and pillars on the top of the hall, and they felt like they were hiding in the clouds.
It's just that at that time, she didn't understand anything, and she had a fear of heights, and she only thought about eating. At this time, I came to the library again, but it was no longer human. Looking back, I suddenly remember the past, as if it had just happened yesterday.
Zi Ning couldn't help but miss Mo Yikui, and she didn't know where she and Huan Ling had gone now, they had been separated for so long, and they were very worried about them.
No matter what happens, being with friends and loved ones is the most important thing. Zi Ning's heart was gloomy, she grabbed Lin Niang's hand tightly, and said, "Ah Niang, this time we will leave the development of the dove country and never come back, will you go to Kunlun with me?"
Lin Niang's lips trembled, the expression on her pale face was complicated, she wanted to speak and stopped, and her eyes revealed a thoughtful brilliance.
Zi Ning snuggled up to her, not noticing the strangeness in her eyes. Yue Hengtang and Qianji used their divine senses to probe around, and they scanned the entire hall, but they didn't find a secret passage.
The roof of the hall was blurred, and the divine sense could not sweep through, as if there was something like a defensive shield. But even if there is a secret passage, it is impossible to be on the top of the main hall. Yue Hengtang's divine consciousness paused for a moment, and slowly retracted it.
Seeing that she couldn't find a way to leave, Qianji couldn't help but be a little worried, thought for a moment, and said: "Emperor Jue, we people are leaving the Dove Kingdom together, the goal is too obvious, why don't you go with Zi Ning first, and I will hide in the palace with Lin Niang for a while, and find an opportunity to escape secretly in the future?"
She has lived in the palace for more than ten years, and she is very familiar with various palaces, and she should not have a big problem hiding with Lin Niang for a while.
As soon as her voice fell, Zi Ning said anxiously: "No, we can't leave yet, Tong'er wants to marry to Xiqi Kingdom, and we have to save her first." She couldn't watch Princess Tong jump into the fire pit, if she didn't save her, she would definitely be sad for the rest of her life.
Qianji's eyes darkened, shook her head and sighed: "The princess insists on marrying, I'm afraid no one can change this matter." She raised her eyes and looked at Zi Ning, hesitated for a while, and said, "Actually, the princess married to Xiqi Kingdom for the sake of ...... In order to save the son of Tanglin. He was imprisoned by the Heavenly Demons, and the key was in the hands of Emperor Pingjia. ”
"Donglin?" Yue Hengtang's face changed greatly, and he said urgently: "Han Yingbai kept saying that Tanglin had an accident in Penglai, is it all true. Penglai has a large sect array, thousands of disciples, and Tanglin's own skills and spells are strong, how can he be imprisoned?"
They hurried to Penglai to determine whether Tanglin was safe. Yue Hengtang was very puzzled, with the rank of the Divine Monarch of Dongling, Ping Jia and Emperor Hair Dove were not his opponents at all, how could they fall into the net of the Heavenly Demon?
Qianji sighed deeply, shook her head and said, "I don't know about this matter, after the princess returned to the Dove Kingdom from Penglai, she lost her temper and quarreled with the emperor. Now I heard that Penglai Wonderland has been completely wiped out, most of the disciples have been imprisoned, and some have been martyred. ”
Yue Hengtang listened, and was silent for a long time, and his mood was extremely heavy. Zi Ning grabbed his arm and asked worriedly, "The Heavenly Demon captured Tanglin, will it kill him?"
Yue Hengtang frowned, and said: "Tanglin is the inheritor of Penglai, guarding the treasure of Penglai for tens of thousands of years, as long as he refuses to open his mouth for a day and confides the secret of the treasure, the heavenly demon will not poison him." In other words, we still have a chance to save him. It's just that in this way, Tanglin doesn't know how much suffering he has to suffer. ”
The light and shadow of the night pearl floated in the sky, and suddenly a strange sound of "creaking" came from the top of the temple. The four of them were stunned, and hurriedly held their breath and listened, the sound was like countless claws scratching the tiles, and it made people's hearts numb.
"There's something on it. Chihime said nervously, staring at the top of the hall.
Zi Ning shuddered, shrunk her neck, and hurriedly looked up at the top of the hall, the hazy gray mist and the black rosewood bookshelf blended together, looking deep and mysterious in the faint light. If you look closely at the top of the bookshelf, it seems that there is something entrenched, but from such a distance, you can't see it clearly at all.
I was puzzled in my heart, and suddenly I heard a "bang" sound from outside the window lattice, and a black image fell like hailstone, flapping its wings and fluttering on the window. All kinds of shrill cries came and went, and in an instant all the panes were covered with black shadows.
Yue Hengtang raised his eyebrows and shouted, "It's a poisonous bat!" Before the words fell, a bat had already pierced through the window screen, and its black and ugly body squeezed in from the pane, making a sharp "squeak" sound.
Zi Ning's scalp suddenly went numb, and his brain became excited, and he hurriedly raised his hand upward, pointed to a mass of things coiled on top of the bookshelf, and shouted, "The one on it is also a bat!"
As soon as it was too late, she pulled out a purple lightsaber from the blue jade bracelet and slashed at the bat's wings that swooped at them.
The Zixuan Sword let out a cheerful sound, and Lin Niang stood beside Zi Ning, looking at the Zixuan Sword in her hand in surprise, her cloudy eyes widened, and she glowed with a strange brilliance.
Black bats kept squeezing in from the window, and the ten-fingered spirit sword of Yuehengtang flashed, cutting the bats into two sections. The corpse fell from mid-air to the ground, and soon the bluestone slab floor was covered with blood, and the remains of half a bat were everywhere, crawling on the ground and twisting their wings, leaving behind trails of disgusting slime.
Zi Ning looked at these poisonous bats in front of her, they looked like mice, black and ugly, so disgusting that she almost vomited. The screams of "squeak" did not stop, and the entire hall was filled with blood, black shadows, and a strange atmosphere.
They also don't know how many bats they killed, and their bodies fell all over the ground.
Suddenly, a night pearl on the top of the temple shattered, and then a huge black shadow appeared, and its wings flew and swooped down, and in the blink of an eye, it fell in front of them, and it was an incomparably huge flower-winged bat.
The giant bat was more than two people tall, and its fat and stout body stood in front of them, its wings stretched out from side to side, its jet-black wing membrane with patches and patterns, and its sharp claws stretched out in front of them, like a high black wall.
Zi Ning only felt a chill on her neck, and cold sweat ran down her sideburns. She had never seen such a big bat, and looking at its long black hair and thief eyebrows, she couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.
The Zixuan Sword clenched in her hand trembled slightly, and whispered, "Such an ugly bat, it can't be a Heavenly Demon, right?" This is already the limit of her patience, and she really can't imagine what it would look like if the Heavenly Demon was more disgusting than this bat.
At this moment, I finally understood why the battle between the immortal clan and the heavenly demon was imperative, and there was absolutely no possibility of compromise. Even if all the people in the Immortal Dao Realm were killed in battle, they couldn't bear to be the ruler of such an ugly bat, and it was unbearable to bow down to a big bat that looked like a mouse.
Thinking of this, Zi Ning couldn't help but sympathize with Emperor Fa Dove, he loyally recognized the bat as his master and was willing to serve, how much courage and dedication it would take.
I was thinking about it in my head, but I saw that the big bat was enraged by her words and pounced on it with its fangs.
Zi Ning hurriedly raised his hand to protect his head, his mouth was unrelenting, and shouted: "I'm not wrong at all, you just look ugly, and you still don't admit it!" The footsteps hurriedly stepped back, swinging the Zixuan Sword to resist.
The Moon Hengtang Ten-Fingered Spirit Sword had already shot out, fighting with the huge bat in an instant. Qianji snorted, raised his head and shouted, "Absolute Emperor, there are two more on it!"
I saw two more black shadows spread their wings and swooped down, immediately surrounding the Moon Hengtang in the middle. The three bats had hideous faces, and the thief's eyes glowed with dark green glow, staring at him tightly, with very strange expressions, and looking up from time to time.
Yue Hengtang suddenly realized that these three bats were the guardians of the library building, and they had been entrenched on the top of the hall just now, and there was a defensive cover there, could it be that there was some unknown secret hidden for these three bats to guard?
Zi Ning's mouth opened wide, staring at the two big bats flying again, not knowing what to do. These three ugly guys are like three black towers, their thick wing membranes spread, and there is a sense of oppression that covers the sky and the sun. They stared at Yuehengtang, not moving, not knowing what the hell they were thinking.
Suddenly, the three bats "squeaked" a few times, as if communicating with each other, and then stretched out their claws at the same time, flapping their wings and rushing towards Yuehengtang.
A white-clothed shadow and three black bats fought together, and Yue Hengtang "swished" and slashed out the spirit sword, cutting a bat that was rapidly approaching him into two. The bat "squeaked" and screamed, and suddenly the two bodies shook, and in a blink of an eye, they turned into two bats.
"Doppelganger Technique!" Yue Hengtang was startled, and hurriedly shot out a ball of true qi and quickly retreated. At this moment, he finally understood why the Heavenly Demon was difficult to deal with and slashed endlessly, obviously these huge poisonous bats had already refined the Formation Technique, unless they were destroyed into ashes in an instant, otherwise they would only kill more and more with their swords.
There was also a steady stream of bats flying outside the window, Zi Ning's face became pale, fortunately, these smaller bats were not high, and they hadn't learned the doppelganger technique, otherwise they would have been buried in the library tonight.
Bats eat meat, right? She trembled all over, and if she couldn't escape, she would be eaten by bats and turned into a pile of feces.
At this time, Chihime tied a copper incense burner with a long silk and pulled it in her hand as a weapon. I saw her soar into the air, shouted, and exerted her true energy, "Dangdangdang" shot down the bats that flew in from the window one by one.
Zi Ning saw the copper furnace smash into the bat, and in the blink of an eye, his head was flattened, and blood burst out in mid-air, like a broken watermelon. She suddenly felt that her brain hurt, it was not worth it for these bats, why bother, rushed in one after another, just to wait for the copper furnace to smash her head?
The sound of fighting and screaming in the main hall was constantly deaf, and the echoes of the emptiness resounded on the floor of the temple. Zi Ning held a sword to protect Lin Niang's side, staring around nervously, her eyes barely enough. At one moment, half a bat swooped down on it, another moment there were claws scratching her feet below, and in the blink of an eye, two black shadows rushed left and right.
She pulled Lin Niang back and forth to dodge, was chased by big and small bats, hid around the bookshelf, and turned around from time to time to make up for a sword, stabbing out a few blood holes.
A burst of screams irritated her eardrums, Zi Ning herself felt that the killing was too heavy, and the bats were ugly, but they were also animals, and it was too cruel to kill like this.
There was only one night pearl left in the main hall, the light was extremely dim, and for a while the dark shadows flew around, and Yue Hengtang shouted while fighting: "This bat blood is poisonous, you all have to be careful to avoid it!"
Hearing that the bat blood was poisonous, Zi Ning was stunned, and hurriedly raised her sleeves to cover her face, and quickly pulled Lin Niang away from the dead bat corpses. She avoided for a while, seeing that there was nowhere to hide, and the ground was full of bats, so she looked up and looked up, only the bookshelf was safe for the time being.
These shelves are embedded in the stone cliffs, and the thousand-year-old rosewood is unusually strong, and on top of them are steadily placed rolls of bamboo slips and silk silks, layered on top of each other, much like a vertical staircase.
Zi Ning used her mind to drive her Zixuan Sword to always protect Lin Niang's left and right to prevent bats from approaching and sneaking attack. She herself couldn't wait, tucked the corners of her skirt into her belt, used her hands and feet together, and crawled to the bookshelf.
She was very good at climbing trees earlier, and after practicing for many days, she was even more dexterous, and soon climbed to a bookshelf in the middle of the cliff.
Lying on the shelf, he bent down and stretched out his hand to pull Lin Niang down, "A-Niang, hurry up." Bat blood flowed all over the ground, and after a few more delays, Lin Niang's feet had no place to stand.
Lin Niang pulled her hand, her face turned pale, and she trembled and climbed up. Zi Ning clenched her teeth, hooked her feet to the edge of the bookshelf, and pulled her upwards with both hands.
Seeing that Lin Niang was pulled to the bookshelf beside her, there was a strange crisp sound, and the corner of the bookshelf suddenly broke, and in an instant, layers of red sandalwood shelves fell down. Zi Ning suddenly lost her balance and fell head-down, and a bookshelf behind her fell after her, looking like she was about to smash her under the shelf.
"Zining!" Yue Hengtang didn't have time to turn around to save her, and shouted anxiously. Suddenly, a wind-like shadow flashed over, caught Zi Ning in mid-air, made a spin, and pulled Lin Niang again, and flew to the top of the bookshelf high in an instant.
All the changes were completed in an instant, Zi Ning only felt dizzy, and before she could see what was going on, she heard a chirping voice shouting in her ear: "Xi'er, Xi'er, I really miss you, see you again, it's so good, it's so good-"
As soon as she turned her head, she saw Bai Qiu's little head rubbing against her shoulder, and kept coquettish with her. Then I heard Qi Song's voice: "Fortunately, you moved the bookshelf and rescued me and Baiqiu from the seal." As he spoke, his body had already leaped out to assist Yuehengtang in dealing with those huge bats.
Baiqiu twisted Zi Ning's clothes with his little paws, shook his head, and said, "Xi'er, go and help me save my brother." "Raising his paw to the top of the temple," my brother was on it, frozen in an ice block, bound with iron chains. The small body immediately curled up in a ball, its paws hugging each other, mimicking the appearance of being trapped.
Zi Ning was taken aback, who is Bai Qiu's brother, isn't that Tanglin?
It turned out that Tanglin had been caught in the country of the hair dove, and just as he was about to speak, the white ball cooed again: "There is also a man in red clothes, frozen in another ice cube." ”
"The man in red?" Zi Ning muttered, "Who? it can't be Jiansu!" A heart exploded, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "Jiansu is still alive?"
Jiansu's death made her never let go, and when she suddenly heard the person in red, the first thing that came to mind was Jiansu. There was a churning fluctuation in her heart, if she didn't die, it would be really good.
At this time, I heard Qi Song's voice from afar, and shouted: "It's Tanglin Gongzi and Yuzun, they are frozen by the Heavenly Demon." ”
Qi Song's figure flew quickly, followed by a white-clothed shadow in Yue Hengtang, "We have temporarily applied a fixed trick to fix those bats, we can't stay here for a long time, we must rescue them as soon as possible." ”
As he spoke, the two of them flew one after the other, and jumped onto the pillars on the top of the temple. Yue Hengtang casually shot out a night pearl, and the shining light flashed past, sweeping away the darkness on the top of the palace.
Zi Ning and Lin Niang couldn't fly spells, and they were pulled up by Qianji with a long silk.
The whole person lay on the beam, Zi Ning stretched his neck to take a look, and saw two square transparent ice mounds suspended in the air, each with a figure inside, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. One is wrapped in green clothes, and the other is dazzling in red robes, it is Tanglin and Jiansu.
