A ray of light shone on the center of the roof.

Only then did I see clearly that there was a small thing there, as if it was a secret door.

"What is that?"

I was surprised to walk over and see clearly, but just took two steps and saw the abyss below, I suddenly felt so scared that my legs were weak and shrunk back. Qinghan turned around and said, "Be careful."

I also knew that I was useless, so I could only retreat and lean on the other side.

"What the hell is that? Have you seen it clearly?"

"Don't worry, let me see again."

They both held their heads and poked their heads out to see. Qinghan stretched out his arms and raised the lantern to illuminate it. Although the entire library is tower-shaped, small on the top and large on the bottom, the roof is not narrow, and it is several feet on the left and right, and that thing is still far away from us.

Wei Yang had good eyesight, so he could only look at it and said, "It seems to be a secret door."

"Door?"

"Yes, I also seemed to see the keyhole."

"where?"

"Did you see that little, black dot there?"

He pointed ahead, Qinghan held the lantern for a while, whispered "um" and looked down at the bottom, then said, "If that was a keyhole, who could open that place with the key? You can't go to the world and the earth."

At this time, I also took a little rest and moved behind him slowly. I could barely see it. There was really a small secret door there. I also saw the black dot that looked like a keyhole that Wei Yang said, which was only two fingers wide. But if it was really a keyhole, it was really unreasonable. There was nothing close to the center of the roof. Even if we stood at the end of the stairs, we were still several feet away from it.

And there is no place to stay around.

If it was really a door, how could it be possible to open a door that no one could approach?

The three of us watched there for a long time but couldn't see any of it. Instead, the candles were almost exhausted, so the three of us walked down the stairs in a hurry.

When we went out, the students at the door were still guarding us. Seeing that our lanterns were about to go out, we exchanged their lanterns for us.

I asked them, "Have you ever been to this library?"

One of the students laughed in silence: "Of course, every student in the academy has been here."

"Have you ever been to the top?"

"Uh, I don't, but a few senior brothers have been there. Because the more we get to the books above, the harder we are, and we haven't even understood the books below."

"Do you know, there is a secret door on the roof?"

The two students looked at each other and nodded: "I know, my senior brothers have said it."

"What's that for?"

"It's useless. It seems that when building the roof, in order to move things upwards, a door was opened. After the roof was built, it would naturally be sealed."

“Hasn’t it been opened?”

"Miss was joking. Who can open it if you don't get to the world or not?"

Seeing that they were also accustomed to that place, it seemed that it was not a thing worth noting. Qinghan and the others looked at each other, and did not ask much. After saying goodbye to them, they went back to their room.

Chabixing already knew that Wei Yang was coming, so he came here to say hello and arranged other rooms for him. Before leaving, I told him the news that Wei Yang brought today. He also felt a headache because Nan Zhenyi's words had been released and he would not control the people who came to participate in the discussion of Taoism. There may be many dangers lurking in it.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I can only say to my second senior brother and be more vigilant. Miss, don't go down the mountain casually these two days. You must be with you wherever you go."

I said, "I know."

He immediately turned around and wanted to leave. I grabbed him again and asked him about the secret door on the roof of the book collection loft. Chabixing was slightly stunned: "Did you see it?"

"Well, Qinghan, and Wei Yang have seen it. Where is that? What is it for?"

"I have seen that place and I want to go and have a look, but I really can't get close to it."

"You don't know what's inside?"

"The master said that it was just a door leading to the roof. It was used when the building was built, but now it has been useless and has been sealed for decades."

"Have he been there?"

"have no idea."

He said, looking down at me: "Does the lady think there is something wrong with that place?"

“…”

I was silent for a moment and shook my head: "It's nothing, I just suddenly saw that there was a secret door in that place, and I felt strange."

Chabixing glanced at me and smiled.

"There are so many such things in Xishan Academy."

"……oh?"

"But, as students of the academy, we cannot touch it casually."

I frowned slightly, and he said with a smile: "Okay, it's getting late, so Miss, let's get off sooner. Tomorrow, are you going to participate in the discussion?"

I was silent for a moment: "It depends on the situation."

"good."

He said goodbye and left, and I slowly returned to the room.

All the students of Xishan Academy knew that the secret door seemed to be the most ordinary thing, but Chabixing's words were a little meaningful-

As students of the academy, they cannot touch them casually.

Could something amazing happen after touching that place?

I slept with a heart full of doubts and gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, I got up late, and Su Su said that she couldn't bear to call me when she saw me sleeping too much.

When I woke up, I heard the drizzle outside and it was raining.

An autumn rain and a cold. Such weather is buried in the quilt. Listening to the sound of water dripping under the eaves is the most suitable for sleeping in. I can't help but want to turn over and sleep back, but when I think about so many things, I still gritted my teeth and got up.

After getting familiar with each other, Qinghan was still asleep.

He seems to be very tired lately and often forgets everything after sleeping.

However, when I walked to the bed, I found that he was not sleeping soundly. His brows frowned and his face was covered in cold sweat. He kept twisting his head uneasy, his lips kept twitching as if he was saying something. He got closer and heard him murmuring: "No, no...No, absolutely not-"

He is having a nightmare?

I hurriedly held his shoulder: "Qinghan, Qinghan, wake up."

But he seemed to be trapped in a nightmare and could not hear me at all. Big sweat flowed down his temples, and his whole body twitched even more: "No! No!"

Seeing him feeling so uncomfortable, I grabbed his shoulder hard and shouted: "Qinghan, wake up, you are having a nightmare. Qinghan!"

He sat up from the bed at once: "No!"

I was hit by him and almost fell down. I saw his eyes that were so close to me were bloodshot and red, his face was covered in sweat, and his face was full of fear.

I hurriedly reached out and held him, and stroked the other hand on his cheek, and the sweat immediately wet my hand: "What's wrong with you?"

“…”

"Have you had a nightmare?"

“…”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Hearing my voice seemed to give him some comfort. He gasped for a while before he could barely calm down and turned to look at me: "Qingying..."

"It's okay, you're having a nightmare, it's okay."

“…”

He looked at me for a while and felt my hand gently stroke his face. Then he slowly reached out and grabbed my hand, pinched it, proving that I was real, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

I asked, "What did you dream about? I was so scared?"

He looked up at me and said, "I, I dreamed that the library... was burned."

"ah?"

"What a big fire, exactly the same as Jixian Palace back then."

“…”

"I'll watch it, I can't do anything."

He was always calm and strong, but at this time I could feel the hand holding my hand trembling constantly, and even his shoulders were trembling. It is conceivable how deep the fire left him.

That was his sin, a sin that even Fu Badai could not forgive.

I felt a cramp in my heart, so I hurriedly leaned over, held him in my arms, and said softly: "It's all over, what you said is just a nightmare."

“…”

"I know you can't let go of it, but everything is over."
