Chapter Fifty-Three: Lanyue Pavilion
Lanyue Pavilion is located in the western suburbs of Kaifeng City, which is the largest library in the city and even in the entire Ming Dynasty, and is regarded as a holy place by countless readers. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but on the rivers and lakes, this is also the biggest source of information, and many unknown secrets have been collected in the secret pavilion of Lanyue Pavilion.
Xiaodao, Wanwan, Tang Tian and Yin Yang walked into the gate of Lanyue Pavilion, here is like a city within a city, there is a big road in the entrance, on both sides of the avenue as always, or sitting, or standing many people in the rivers and lakes, some of them are fierce and evil, some of them have haggard faces, and there is a pretty lady who looks like a person holding a one-armed man who is dying and crying silently. They cast their eyes on the knives as they passed, these knives were used to it, and these people either came here to look for clues, or came here to pay for people.
At the end of the avenue is the guide reception, there is a small building, there are four guide receptionists on the first floor, and on the top of the building stand several masked men in black, all carrying swords in their hands. There is a road on the left and right, and there is a gate on each side, if it is an ordinary literati, it will be led to the right, where the sea of books is vast, and there are guest rooms, as long as you bring enough silver to live for a year and a half, no one will care about you. The road on the left is where the Jianghu people want to find the secret, and generally people who are not specially introduced cannot enter immediately, and they will be stopped at the guide, and they will wait obediently like those in front.
The knife on the right door has been in when it was boring, and the book has never been read, but the steamed buns of the boss who grew up inside are very delicious, and the door on the left is what it looks like, and the knife doesn't know, because they can't get in, and the result is the same, if you want to hire someone, you can do it yourself, if you want to get the news, what is better than the news in the Lanyue Pavilion.
The knife and the others were already familiar with the guide, and they didn't even need the emblem to lead them forward. They did not go to the left or to the right, but continued to move forward around the small building where the guide was, the front was getting narrower and narrower, and the darker and darker they went, only there was a faint light ahead, and at the end there was a long staircase down, the walls on both sides were only the distance between the three of them, and the ashes of the torch burning above fell down to make Wanwan very uncomfortable, and the knives had already prepared to put the hood of the cloak from the back to the head.
After several staircase turns, the knife has come to the ground, the surrounding is no longer a repaired brick wall, but a damp rock wall, from time to time there will be a little drop of water from above, down to the bottom, all around is lit by torches, there is a river in front, a simple wharf was built next to the river, there are two small boats docked there, and there is a simple hut next to the wharf, then another person came out of it, after seeing this person, the guide stopped, signaled the four of them to pass, and returned the same way。
Several people on the whole road, including the guide, did not say a word, except for the sound of running water, the sound of water dripping from the top of the cave, and the sound of their footsteps, there was no other sound, this road is not allowed to speak, this is the rule of Lanyue Pavilion. Don't look at this place so quiet, I don't know how many people lurk in the surrounding darkness, if it is an outsider who trespasses without knowing the reason, I am afraid that he will die on the spot.
The knife men got into a small boat, and a boatman followed him on board, and when he loosened the rope, the boat went down the current. Every time I go back to Lanyue Pavilion, there is only this road, although the knife does not know the specific location of Lanyue Pavilion, but it is certain that Lanyue Pavilion must be in the mountains west of Kaifeng City.
The boat drifted along the water for about half an hour, and the front gradually brightened, and they were about to leave the underground cave, when a bright light flashed, and their eyes were closed, and then they slowly opened again, and they had come to the waterway outside the cave. The waterway was very narrow, but it was only one or two feet wide, and the water began to rush up, and the boatman held the oars to the left and the other to maintain the direction of the hull, and grabbed the arm of the knife with both nervous hands. The knife is accustomed to holding the hand of Wanwan, while leisurely looking up at the sky, the stone walls on both sides of the waterway are dozens of zhang high, every time the knife always has a conflict and wants to play the dragon step up, but the moss on both sides is all over, and you can see that the rock wall is slippery with your hand, and this idea is immediately dispelled.
After about half an hour, the flow of water eased. The waterway was getting wider and wider, and the location of another pier could already be seen in front of us, where three or four small boats were already docked.
The boat slowly approached and stopped, and in front of them was a large tidal flat, and two masked men in black had already come to them, and the four of them jumped lightly and jumped ashore. The two men glanced at them and motioned for them to move on.
The four of them nodded slightly to the two men in black and continued to move forward, this is a huge rock cave, there are two small caves in front of them that are as high as one person, one of the holes is written with silver paint above the moon, and the other is written with gold paint above the stars. Knife never understood the difference between the two gates and why they were designed this way, because he walked through both the left and right sides, and both doors could eventually walk towards the Lanyue Pavilion.
Knife was still going to take the right path this time, and he walked in the forefront, bowing his head and penetrating the doorway of the stars. After passing through the hole, after walking a short distance between the cliffs, the eyes suddenly opened, a green mountain emerged in front of you, a stone staircase mountain road winds upward, the eaves of the Lanyue Pavilion can already be seen, at the top of the mountain, two giant logs are crossed, and a big house is supported on the cliff. After passing through the big house, you will reach the Valley of the Moon Scar, where the Lanyue Pavilion is located.
Xiaodao looked at Wanwan: "I'm finally back, every time I go back to Lanyue Pavilion, I'm so entangled." ”
"It's uncomfortable. Tang Tian quipped on the side.
"If you want him to stop talking for a long time, you either knock him unconscious, or you have to come back with him. Yin Yang didn't let go of the knife.
"Alright, let's go up quickly, you can see that there are only a few boats parked outside, and we are probably the last to come back. The knife lightly slammed Yin Yang's chest.
"Let's go, let's go, let's not keep refuting his face in front of Wanwan, otherwise we may not even be able to be friends. Tang Tian still lost a wave of knives in the end.
"You talk, I'll go first. Wanwan glanced at Tang Tian and walked up alone.
The remaining three didn't say anything more, and followed Wanwan up the mountain road.
"Who should I be, it turned out to be a few of you, who came back so late, don't you really take the pavilion stabbing sword seriously?" When I was halfway up the mountain, a person suddenly jumped out of the mountain.
Xiaodao looked at it, it turned out to be Han Haishan, the twenty-fourth place on the heavenly list, and another person fell down with him, Su Wan'er, who was twenty-seventh on the heavenly list.
Facing Han Haishan, Xiao Dao's disgust suddenly rose, this person has been on a par with him since the time of the list. When he was on a mission in a group of two, he was also competing everywhere, and when he saw that he was under siege and didn't want to help, he would have plotted one or two from time to time, if it weren't for the big knife life, I'm afraid he would have confessed a few years ago. Su Wan, who followed him, looked delicate and lovely, but for some reason she was always inseparable from Han Haishan, and she really didn't understand what she liked about this person.
Xiaodao said disdainfully: "Aren't you the same, you only came back at this time." ”
"Lao Tzu has been back a long time ago, and he will bump into you when he comes out to breathe. ”
"Oh, you still have blood stains on the sides of your robe, the cuffs are torn, and the mud marks on your boots are clearly dry and wet, so you look like you're back a long time ago?" Wanwan said unceremoniously.
"Little girl, the eyes are quite powerful, but unfortunately it's useless, you'll know when the pavilion stabs the sword. ”
"Know what?"
"Hmph, although I just came back, I already know that the order of the Pavilion Stabbing Sword has been released, why don't you hurry up and take a look?"
Xiaodao and Tang Tian and the others looked at each other, and their hearts were shocked, even if they returned a few days late, even so, there was still half a month before the period of the pavilion stabbing sword, how could they release the list so quickly this time?
Almost at the same time, several of them thought of what the Pavilion Master said at that time, if they could survive, they would be able to enter the Star Pavilion, it seemed that the Pavilion Master had already arranged these things.
