Chapter 640: Document Room
Li Changxiao flicked his finger, and a flame ignited at his fingertips, illuminating the surroundings. The two had entered once before, but Zhao Qing was ill at that time, and Li Changxiao did not divert his attention to pay attention to the environment in the hall.
Now I came back to look at the hall with the help of the flames. It was already in ruins, with rotten wooden pillars tottering and bronze cauldrons covered with rust...
Zhao Qing said self-deprecatingly, "I am a burden now." Li Chang smiled and replied, "A heavy burden indeed." Zhao Qing also smiled. As they talked, they walked deeper into the cave, and first came to a hall with ninety-nine night-shining pearls hanging high above and various beautiful objects carved from jade below.
Li Changxiao then complained: "Your ancestor really knows how to enjoy himself. Each of the night-shining pearls above was taken from the Endless Sea. Each one is so precious that it can be exchanged for dozens of stars."
Zhao Qing was also annoyed and said: "I'll tell you secretly, there are thirteen pearls on it, and I took them away. When the East China Sea Night Pearl appeared in the world, I, Mu Shu, Mu Qi, Mu Hua, and dozens of Mu Mansion disciples went together to cooperate in picking the pearls in the sea."
Li Chang laughed and said, "So Immortal Mu showed his power?" Zhao Qing said softly, "Of course, as soon as I pointed, they all dared not speak, and I told Shu, Qi, and Hua to pick them up quickly. In fact, I couldn't bear it at the time and couldn't use my spiritual energy, but I still pretended to be calm and confronted them."
Thinking of that experience, Zhao Qing also found it interesting. However, Mu Qin at that time looked murderous, but in fact, he had already run out of energy. Li Chang laughed and said, "Who said that Immortal Mu would not be cunning? Next time I hear him, I will help you beat him up. He is clearly very cunning."
Zhao Qingshen agreed and said, "I am naturally cunning, but I am used to killing people and I am too lazy to beat around the bush. However, if someone says something bad about me, don't get involved. You should focus on your own cultivation and ignore them. Anyway, I can't hear it and I won't get angry."
What Zhao Qingshi didn't know was that at this moment, the person who was carrying her on his back felt that she was the least likely to tact. Although she looked fierce, she was also dazed. If she was really cunning, she shouldn't have believed Li Changxiao's lies.
But her words made Li Changxiao not know whether to laugh or cry. He asked, "I'll get those thirteen night-shining pearls for you." Zhao Qing stretched out her hand, pointed and said, "This one, this one, and that one..."
Li Changxiao waved his hand, and one by one, the night pearls fell from above into his hand. He pointed a finger and the night pearl regained its light. He pinched it gently again, and the night pearl shrank to the size of a grape, which was quite lovely. The soft halo was so refreshing that one could not bear to sink into it just by looking at it.
This type of sea pearls does not have much practical effect, but they can be used as the most expensive type of ornaments, which shows that they are excellent in appearance. If they are radiant with spirit, the beads can be even more gorgeous, which is beyond description. Unfortunately, they are ultimately lonely. Now, holding them in my hands, no matter how I look at them, they are just shining beads. Although they are beautiful, they lack meaning.
He blew out a breath of fresh air, strung the thirteen together, and casually handed them to Zhao Qing, saying, "Play with them as you like." Zhao Qing was surprised and said, "What a miraculous method. In terms of killing power, you may not be as good as me at my peak, but in terms of transformation, you have surpassed me."
Li Chang smiled and said, "This is 'fate'. If I can achieve great success, there is nothing I can't do. I can go against the laws of nature and overturn the world. But there is still a very long way to go. I don't know when it will happen. But I'm not in a hurry at all."
Zhao Qing was surprised when he heard this. He lay on Li Changxiao's back and thought to himself, "I really want to see your future, but I can't."
After passing through the hall, there was a library at the back, and Zhao Qing offered to stop and take a look. Li Changxiao put her down, and the two of them browsed in the library.
Zhao Qing took down a book, flipped through it for a while, and said, "Although the ancestor was trapped in the Heart-Searching Dao, he was involved in all the affairs of the Mu Mansion. Although I have never met the ancestor Mu, I have used the jade slips and the sound transmission technique to talk to him a few times."
"This should be the document room of Patriarch Mu, where important events of the Mu Mansion are recorded. I am still a little curious."
Li Changxiao nodded. Not only was Zhao Qing curious, he was also curious. He flipped through the files one after another and found a record of tasks over the years. The purpose of the tasks and the people who carried them out were all recorded in the book.
There was one thing that aroused Li Changxiao's curiosity. Over the years, the Mu Mansion would often send some people to investigate the Xiao Family in the Red Domain. Could it be that the Mu Mansion also had a connection with the Xiao Family?
He asked, "Does the Mu Mansion have any connection with the Xiao Family in the Red Domain?" Zhao Qing replied, "I don't know much, but I was once ordered to go to the Xiao Family to set up a fight. I beat up many members of the Xiao Family, and they all hated me. I never went there again."
Li Changxiao's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, as expected of the notorious Fairy Mu, her style of doing things is fierce. Seeing Li Changxiao's strange expression, Zhao Qing explained seriously: "I went to fight because of what the Mu family thought. I have no grudges against the Xiao family, so I naturally won't go and provoke them for no reason."
Zhao Qing came over, leaned against Li Changxiao, and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask this question?" Li Changxiao said, "I found that the Mu Mansion would assign some tasks every few years, and it was somewhat related to the Xiao family. So I suspected that the two major forces were closely related."
Zhao Qing asked, "I see, so they sent me to fight. I'm afraid the relationship between the two families is probably bad." Li Changxiao shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm afraid the intention is not to fight, but to spy. Ancestor Mu has been spreading various tasks to find out about the Xiao family, but he didn't directly issue the task of 'spying on the Xiao family'. Instead, he broke the spying tasks into pieces and distributed them to each disciple of the Mu Mansion."
Zhao Qing understood, "The Xiao family has been reduced to human medicine, and the Mu Mansion is involved with the Xiao family, so you want to investigate this and see if you can find anything else?"
Li Changxiao bowed and joked, "It seems that Immortal Zhao is indeed smart." Zhao Qing was embarrassed, but forced himself to suppress it and said, "I don't have any cultivation, so I can only use my brain, otherwise you will look down on me." This sentence was actually a joke, but the expression when he said it was quite vivid.
Zhao Qing said seriously: "What do you want to check? I can help you. Before I started practicing Taoism, I could read hundreds of books every day and remember everything I read. I should still be able to do it now."
Li Chang smiled and said, "I don't know what to look for specifically yet. In this case, we will record this place and look through it one by one. I think there should be some gains. Maybe we can directly know where your Dao fruit is hidden." He originally intended to use his spiritual sense to sweep it, but Zhao Qing had already said this, and he really didn't want to disappoint the other party's kindness. Moreover, looking with the naked eye, one can better perceive the hidden mysteries, so it is not a delay.
Zhao Qing felt inexplicably happy when he heard this, and nodded heavily: "Okay."
The two of them divided the area and started browsing from the beginning, and time passed quietly.
(I was too busy during the day, so I went home and slept until midnight before getting up to write. (??︹??))
