Qin Xiao was a little surprised and said with a smile: "Aunt Ying is not afraid that I have ulterior motives?"
"With your current level of cultivation, you may not be able to appreciate those martial arts records." Suzaku said calmly: "At most, it's just the icing on the cake." Without any nonsense, he went out and waved to a Tianzhai disciple.
After giving a few instructions, he returned to the palace and said to Qin Xiao, "Follow me!"
Qin Xiao was actually quite curious about the library. After all, it was certainly not a simple place that masters from various sects flocked to.
But he also knew that Suzaku's willingness to take him to the library must have been moved by his words, and he had indeed developed a desire to return the martial arts records of various sects.
Following Suzaku, he passed through the middle hall and went straight to a small courtyard on the east side of the apse.
It is extremely quiet here, with firewood piled in the courtyard and a well.
Qin Xiao had known before that although the Tianshi Palace was grand, not everyone from the Tianzhai disciples could enter.
This is the residence of Dao Zun. In addition to Dao Zun's disciples, only the disciples who serve Dao Zun on weekdays can enter. Most of the time, Tianzhai disciples live in other places on the island. If this time it is not an attack by various factions,
On the island, the Tianzhai disciples had to retreat to the Tianshi Palace, otherwise there would be many disciples in this sect who had never even entered the Tianshi Palace.
Qin Xiao was a little surprised when he entered the courtyard, wondering if the library was in this courtyard?
However, he saw that Zhuque had slowly walked to the well. Qin Xiao was even more confused. Before he thought about it, he saw that Zhuque showed his figure and jumped down from the mouth of the well.
Qin Xiao's expression suddenly changed, he stretched out his hand and almost screamed, but it was too late to hold him back at this moment.
He rushed forward and got close to the mouth of the well. At this time, it was already dark and he could clearly see that this was a dry well. The crystal was very deep, but there was no well water in it.
It's natural when you think about it.
This is the highest point on the island. Drill a well at the top. If you can get water, there will be ghosts.
What surprised him was that Suzaku had obviously jumped into the dry well, but when he looked down from a high position and looked inside, there was no trace of Suzaku. At this moment, Suzaku had disappeared.
There was deathly silence all around the courtyard.
Qin Xiao frowned, but at this time he also understood that Suzaku was definitely not a magician and could fly to the sky and escape from the earth. Her disappearance in the dry well only proved that there was something wrong under the dry well.
After thinking about it for a while, he didn't hesitate much. He took a deep breath and jumped into the well. As he fell, he put his fingers on the wall of the well from time to time to slow down the speed of his fall. When he was almost at the bottom of the well, he reached out and hooked
There was a protruding rock on the wall of the well, and then it fell lightly to the bottom of the well.
Once you put your feet firmly on the ground, you will immediately understand why Suzaku disappeared.
I saw a cave about three feet high on the well wall in front of me. It was pitch black inside. There is no doubt that after Suzaku fell to the bottom of the well, he either quickly opened the cave's mechanism, or the cave itself was
It was opened, and Suzaku naturally walked directly into the cave.
Looking down from the top of the well, you can't see the cave at all, so you would naturally mistakenly think that the Suzaku disappeared out of thin air.
He did not hesitate, thinking that Suzaku went in first. Even if there was a trap inside, Suzaku would definitely rule it out in advance. If there was really a danger, Suzaku would definitely tell him that he would immediately enter the cave and just take two steps.
There was a "sudden" sound, and a stone door quickly closed at the entrance of the cave.
Qin Xiao thought that it was not an ordinary place after all. When he came in, he didn't find the stone door. It was designed to be very secretive. "Follow me!" Suzaku's voice came from the front. Naturally, she sealed the stone door with a mechanism.
It's just that it's extremely dark inside. The entrance to the cave is sealed by a stone door, and it's even more difficult to see inside. Although Qin Xiao's eyesight is amazing, he can't see anything clearly in this situation. But when he walked forward, he could only see something.
It felt extremely smooth under my feet, as if I were stepping on a stone slab. I knew that this underground passage must have been artificially constructed and repaired.
However, the road was sloping downwards. It was clearly downhill. After walking about twenty steps, I almost hit the rock wall. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and had one hand in front, so I stopped in time.
"Aunt Ying, where are you?" Qin Xiao couldn't help shouting softly: "I can't see anything."
Suzaku's voice sounded from the side: "Come here. This tunnel has a long road and twists and turns. It took a lot of effort to build it back then. There are many mechanisms in it. If a stranger breaks in, they will all be lost."
If you are careful, the mechanism will be triggered and you will definitely die. I will close the mechanism in front to prevent you from accidentally touching it."
"I'm like a blind man now, I can't see anything." Qin Xiao said: "You walk quietly, and it's hard for me to even follow you."
While he was talking, he had already followed the voice and walked to Suzaku.
It was fine when he first came in, but after walking for a short distance, he felt that the tunnel was extremely cool and chilly. At this time, he approached Suzaku. Although there was no physical contact, in this cool tunnel, he still felt
You can feel the warmth on Suzaku's body.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and happened to touch a soft ball. He couldn't help but scratch it with his hands. A familiar feeling appeared. Before he could speak, Suzaku said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry." Qin Xiaoyi reluctantly took back his hand. He didn't expect that his shot was so accurate. He apologized and said, "I accidentally touched it."
Suzaku said angrily: "Follow me."
"How about I hold the corner of your clothes?" Qin Xiao suggested, "I'm afraid of getting lost."
"With your cleverness, even if you are buried in a grave, you can still find a place to crawl out." Zhuque said: "You have already cultivated to the Great Heaven Realm, and you will not be lost when I follow you."
She did not delay and continued to move forward, pausing for a moment every time she walked. Qin Xiao knew that she was clearing traps and knew that Suzaku must be very familiar with this tunnel. In such a dark environment, he was able to
I feel like I know where the agency is.
It seems that the library is at the end of this tunnel.
With such a long tunnel excavated inside the mountain and numerous mechanisms set up, it seems that Tao Zun is indeed very important to the library.
I just walked for more than half an hour and still didn't reach the end.
"Aunt Ying, is the library in the tunnel?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask.
After walking for a long time, Suzaku didn't say anything and seemed very deserted.
"No need to ask any more questions, we'll know when we get there."
After walking for another stick of incense, he vaguely heard the sound of water. Qin Xiao was wondering, but suddenly he heard a "quacking" sound, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Qin Xiao looked carefully, but it was Suzaku walking in front.
, is opening a stone door.
Qin Xiao stepped forward and walked out of the stone gate first, but the sound of water became clearer. Looking up, he saw a mountain wall not far ahead, and a waterfall pouring down from the mountain.
When I jumped into the dry well, it was just dawn. After walking in the tunnel for half a day, it was already dark.
The light of the morning sun shines on the waterfall, which is dazzlingly white. Under the waterfall, there is a ditch that winds downwards. There are jagged rocks on the left and right sides. The water of the waterfall flows down the mountain along the ditch, gurgling like a stream.
The fragmented rocks in the ditch are extremely smooth due to being washed by the water of the waterfall over many years.
However, the surrounding area is full of peach trees, and there are several small wooden houses beside the peach grove.
The scenery is beautiful and pleasant, like a paradise.
When he turned around, Suzaku was already standing beside him, and the stone door had been closed. He could only see the incomparable rock wall and no sign of the stone door.
Qin Xiao originally thought that the end of the tunnel was the library, but he didn't want to just walk to a strange place.
"This is Peach Blossom Stream." Zhuque explained: "It connects Peach Blossom Stream and Tianshi Temple. In the tunnel, there is a secret stone chamber. If you don't open it, you can't find it. You just passed by the stone chamber, but you didn't open it, so you can see
No, Master has been in seclusion in an underground stone chamber for the past twenty years. Only I can enter and exit freely. The others don’t know the mechanisms in the tunnel, and they have never been in it. They don’t even know that there is a tunnel connecting Taohua Stream and the sky.
Master’s Palace.”
As she spoke, she took a step forward, her figure was like a light cloud, and jumped onto a rock.
Qin Xiao looked at the small wooden house next to the peach forest and then at the waterfall, and suddenly thought of something.
On the way to Penglai Island, Qin Xiao and Zhuque practiced dual cultivation for the last time under a waterfall. Qin Xiao still remembered that Zhuque said that her residence on Penglai Island was beside a waterfall. At this time
I have understood that, if nothing else, this Peach Blossom Stream is the residence of Suzaku.
He looked around, and although the scenery was beautiful and every part could be painted, he couldn't tell where the library was.
Suzaku said he wanted to take him to see the library, but he brought him to her residence. Could it be that the library was in Peach Blossom Stream?
Seeing that Zhuque did not go towards the cabins, but instead headed towards the waterfall, Qin Xiao followed him and wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, he held back. After all, since Zhuque said he wanted to take him to see the library, it would definitely not be possible.
You will make mistakes, and if you ask yourself, you will appear impatient.
"Is this Aunt Ying's residence?" Qin Xiao asked: "I remember you said that your residence on the island is right next to the waterfall, and you have to listen to the sound of the waterfall to fall asleep."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Suzaku's mouth, and he said: "Do you still remember? Before the Tianshi Palace was built, the Master lived in Peach Blossom Stream, and it was in this Peach Blossom Stream that he became a great master. Later, the Master moved to the Tianshi Palace.
You gave me Peach Blossom Stream to live in." He raised his hand and pointed at the waterfall, "That's the shadow curtain I told you about!"
Qin Xiao remembered that Zhuque had mentioned that this waterfall was called Shadow Curtain, and it was Zhuque who named it himself.
When we reached the edge of the waterfall, the waterfall poured down and formed a stream.
Qin Xiao was wondering why Suzaku brought him to this place, but suddenly he saw Suzaku take a step forward and lunge towards the waterfall like a sharp arrow. To his surprise, Suzaku's figure had already passed through the shadow curtain,
Submerged in it.
For just a moment, Qin Xiao suddenly thought of the waterfall he had seen on Xiling Changling.
At that time, he was imprisoned by a giant ape on the mountain. At that time, he also encountered a waterfall. The giant ape threw himself into the waterfall. After his body passed through the waterfall, he discovered that there was a cave behind the waterfall.
Now it seems that there must be something fishy behind this shadow curtain.
Thinking of this, he didn't think too much, and the two rose and fell to the huge rock very close to the waterfall where Suzaku was standing. He put a little more force on his step, stretched out his body, and passed through the waterfall like a sharp arrow.
As expected, we discovered that there was actually a cave behind the waterfall.
