In front of the ancient library.
Zhang Shenwu and Mo Ziyun came step by step.
"Um?"
The old man sitting next to the library gate put down his teacup, looked at the two of them in confusion, and said, "What day is today? You two little kids actually came to me? Why? Are there not many things in the sect?
?”
When the two heard the sound, they both smiled bitterly and stepped forward to hold their fists together.
"Greetings to the Emperor Elder."
"Don't be too polite. I'm no longer an elder, now I'm just an old man in the door." The man waved his hand and then said indifferently: "How about you, are you here to pick up the books? Or come to inspect?"
"Inspection." Zhang Shenwu hurriedly said.
The elders must learn the soul technique here, and they must defeat the trial like their disciples before they can take it.
However, the elders have a privilege, that is, they can enter and inspect. If they inspect, they can also read internal books or even learn, but they cannot take away the soul book. Each elder has a certain number of inspection opportunities every month.
Hearing Zhang Shenwu's words, the old man didn't say anything. He took out a token from his waist and threw it to the two of them. He said, "Where is going to the area you want to go to, just go by yourself."
"Thank you, elder."
The two of them clasped their fists, turned and took the token and walked inside.
Soon, rumble.
The door opened and the two hurriedly stepped into it.
Seeing the two of them in such anxious steps, the old man frowned, but didn't think much about it.
In fact, he doesn't like this so-called inspection very much.
Although this inspection provided convenience to the elders, it seemed that they could access a large number of ancient soul techniques and increase their strength, but in fact it also had a lot of harm.
First of all, inspections cannot take away the soul book, which means that these elders only practice with words and memory. In this way, it is difficult for them to practice the soul arts in the soul book. Secondly, if they inspect, they can read it.
Any books in the library will become more complicated if they come into contact with them.
As the saying goes, it is not beneficial to the soul.
The old man shook his head repeatedly, took a sip of tea, and continued to sit cross-legged with his eyes closed.
However, it didn't take long.
Boom!
The door was pushed open roughly from the inside.
Then the two figures rushed out directly, looking at the old man with sweat and eyes full of fear.
The old man looked sideways and saw that these two people were Zhang Shenwu and Mo Ziyun who had not been in for a long time.
Seeing the extremely pale faces of the two, the old man was surprised.
"What's wrong with you?"
The old man asked in surprise.
"Elder... Something happened..." Mo Ziyun's lips were trembling and her voice was trembling.
"What happened?"
The old man suddenly stood up from the chair and shouted in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"
"The library... was stolen!" Zhang Shenwu shouted hoarsely.
"impossible!!"
The old man almost roared, staring at the two of them coldly.
Dong!
The two of them suddenly sank, and an invisible pressure came to their bodies, and they were both a little unstable.
The old man seemed to realize that he had lost his composure and immediately restrained his anger, but his expression was still very serious.
"What do you mean? How can the library be stolen? Old man, I have been sitting here, day and night. Who can steal books from under my nose from the library? Or are you doubting my ability?"
The old man questioned sternly.
Zhang Shenwu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Mo Ziyun hurriedly said, "Elder, you...you will know if you go in and take a look..."
The old man's face was gloomy, he snorted coldly, and immediately turned around and headed towards the insider of the gate.
Zhang Shenwu and Mo Ziyun also followed immediately.
As soon as the three of them entered, they came to the fourth area of ​​the library, but they saw...
The bookshelf in the entire fourth area are empty... there is no soul book.
The old man's face turned pale immediately, and the man rushed over quickly, and his old hand trembled on every bookshelves. After a moment, the man was like a statue, as stupid as a wooden chicken.
"This is...what's going on? What's going on..."
He whispered.
There are more than ten bookshelfs in the entire area...and there is not a single book?
"We don't know either..." Mo Ziyun whispered.
The old man looked in a daze, and at one point he didn't believe what he saw.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and rushed towards the third and second areas.
However... everything is like a glance at the fourth area, and the bookshelf in the third area and the second area were all emptied, and no soul book was left behind.
Clean... not even a little gray...
The old man instantly collapsed on the ground, and he seemed to be in a state of dismay.
"At present, only the first area is still intact." Zhang Shenwu took a deep breath and whispered: "Elder, what's going on?"
"You ask me...who should I ask?" the old man said weakly.
"Have you been stationed at the gate during this period?" Mo Ziyun asked.
"Of course." The old man stared at Mo Ziyun and gritted his teeth and said, "The words of the palace master are as thunderous as the old man would rather die than guard the hall, so how could he leave his post without hesitation? It's just... what happened today, how should the old man go to the dead palace?
The Lord explains..."
Speaking of this, the old man sighed repeatedly, as if he had grown old for countless years.
The two of them naturally knew who the dead palace master was mentioned by the old man.
They looked at each other, and only saw Zhang Shenwu wandering for a while, then they said carefully: "Elder, maybe this was not stolen!"
"Um?"
The old man suddenly looked up at him: "What do you mean? Do you know where these souls are going?"
I think so, these two people suddenly appeared here for no reason, and they must have come inexplicably.
For a moment, the old man's expression became sober, and his eyes looked at the two of them were particularly hot.
"Maybe...know something..." Zhang Shenwu hesitated for a moment and said, "Dare you ask the elder, who has come to the library recently?"
The old man thought for a while, suddenly thought of something, immediately rushed to the gate, took out a simple token from the coffee table, and then injected his soul energy. The token instantly rippled with brilliant light, waiting for the halo to dissipate.
Later, the old man looked up and said, "A while ago, there was indeed a disciple who came from the Soul Martial Arts Hall, named Bai Ye!"
"It's him!"
Mo Ziyun suddenly said.
"he?"
The old man frowned: "What do you mean is that the books here are all stolen by this man named Bai Ye?"
"Maybe...it's not stealing..."
Mo Ziyun said carefully.
"If it's not stealing, then there are other ways?" the old man snorted: "I don't care about that much. Bai Ye is so bold! Even the books from the ancient library dare to steal? Come over quickly and call that Bai Ye over immediately!
He was ordered to exchange his soul book immediately. As for the punishment for him, he would do it according to the rules of the sect! Otherwise, I will definitely want him to look good!"
The old man's voice was heavy and his anger could not be suppressed.
Both of them looked embarrassed.
"This... Elder, I think Bai Ye is not so bold yet..."
"Then tell me how these soul books disappeared out of thin air? Do you think he has challenged all the trials of these soul books and then taken away this book, right?"
The old man said indignantly.
But after this, the old man trembled all over and suddenly seemed to notice something. Suddenly, the person disappeared and froze in place, as if he had been lit by someone.
"Elder?"
Mo Ziyun and Zhang Shenwu both called out curiously.
But... the old man didn't react at all.
What's going on?
The two were confused.
However, at this moment, the old man suddenly rushed over like crazy, ran to the bookshelf in the fourth area, took out the token and pressed it on the magic circle on the ground, and recited a few words silently.
Rumble...
Then he saw that the ground in the area suddenly made a rumbling sound, and then the entire earth suddenly cracked, and a large number of mechanism magic arrays below were exposed in the eyes of the three people.
I saw that there were vivid statues standing in the magic circle below. All of these statues stood on the array pattern, complementing the magic circle, exquisite and exquisite, and it was by no means the work of ordinary people.
But at this time, these statues... were either split in half or turned into a pile of rotten stones, and almost none of them could be complete.
"What?"
The two were shocked.
The old man also had a pale face and his pupils were trembling.
He hurried to the third and second areas and opened the magic circle below the area.
The result was as he saw.
All the statues of the organs were broken.
"This...this is..." Zhang Shenwu said with a trembling voice.
"These are trial mechanisms related to Soul Challenge. These mechanisms... have been fought by people. It seems... the truth has been revealed!"
The old man took a deep breath, but his eyes were extremely uneasy: "The old man still remembers that he stayed in the library called Bai Ye for a whole week... You know, ordinary disciples only last half an hour at most... He stayed
After so long, the old man thought he had obtained more soul books, so he asked the boy how many books he had obtained. The boy stretched out three fingers and didn't say anything. The old man subconsciously thought he had obtained three soul books. Now he reads
Come on... the old man was wrong. This guy... took away the soul book from three areas!"
The two of them were so shocked that their bodies trembled wildly and their scalp became numb.
"So... Bai Ye has completed all the trials in the three areas?"
Mo Ziyunqiu's eyes swelled up, her red lips were no longer bloody. She stared at the broken formation below and said.
She couldn't accept such crazy things at all.
"It's probably like this..." Zhang Shenwu breathed a turbid breath and turned to Mo Ziyun and said, "It seems that our guess is true... Go back... This matter needs to be reported immediately.
Lord of the Palace.”
"good..."
Mo Ziyun nodded slightly, but her face was still very pale.
However, at this moment, the old man there suddenly let out a low voice.
"Where is this disciple now?"
Both of them were shocked when they heard the sound.
"The elder asked what he did?" Zhang Shenwu asked.
Chapter completed!
