Yizhou.
In a small space.
Mickey and Bai Suxie searched for a while.
There are indeed various weapon remnants scattered on the ground, but it should be due to the age. As long as you touch them with your fingers, those weapon remnants will weather into a pile of debris.
"There are no valuable items. After too long, the steel will rot."
Bai Suxie stood up and patted the dust on his legs.
This hall is filled with the smell of decay, making it very uncomfortable to stay there for a long time.
"Then let's go inside."
Mickey went out from the side door and came to a corridor, which led to the building behind.
Generally speaking, the most important thing about a sect is not the outermost hall.
Because the main hall is generally used for discussions, the most fundamental items of the sect should be resources and techniques.
These usually build special pavilions for storage.
"Library Pavilion."
Mickey set his sights on a building behind.
She could barely recognize those three words, but she had no hope.
The Library Pavilion is a seven-story pavilion, but it is in dilapidated condition. A small part of the side has collapsed, and some of the internal structures are exposed.
Since the enemy has invaded, their targets will definitely be on those important buildings, and the Library Pavilion will definitely be a place they will not miss.
"This place is more dilapidated than the main hall."
Bai Suxie stepped into the library pavilion. There were many collapsed bookshelves inside. There were occasionally some books, but they had been corroded and shattered at a touch. Just like the main hall, there were many bones here.
Fortunately, there was no danger here. The two of them searched everywhere they could on the entire seventh floor, but there was nothing important.
"Let's go to the elixir store again. Isn't the purpose of our coming here just for the Little Xiantian Golden elixir!"
The elixir store is also not far from the library. As long as you walk along the corridor, you can see a huge building.
The overall appearance of the elixir shop is like a huge furnace. Compared with other buildings, it is relatively complete and not much is broken.
Maybe the enemy was also worried about destroying something important, so he restrained himself a little.
"It's a complete mess and there's nothing valuable in it."
Before Bai Suxie went in, she was hopeful, but after wandering around inside, she was quite disappointed.
The elixir shop is indeed large enough, and the various rooms are large and small, and it is difficult to count them all at once. You can imagine how lively it was when the sect was prosperous.
But now, all the various rooms are empty. After opening the jade bottle that I occasionally found, the elixir inside turned into a ball of paste, and the elixir was completely destroyed.
"How did the elixirs in that secret place on the island you mentioned be preserved for thousands of years?"
Mickey said in surprise.
"They have a way to preserve it. There may have been a sudden change here, so they didn't have time to deal with it accordingly. Many of the elixirs were damaged, which is a pity."
Bai Suxie sighed.
If you don't get anything this time, it means that your trip was in vain and it brought risks to yourself. Whether you can go out is a question.
"here……"
Mickey walked to a corner, and suddenly, she had a special feeling.
"There is a secret door here."
She reached out and touched the wall.
The smooth floor tiles on the ground suddenly opened a hole, revealing a hole, and what came into view was a staircase leading downwards.
"Go down there."
Mickey's spirits perked up, maybe this was where the real reward came from.
"The atmosphere here is very strange, different from outside."
Bai Suxie went down the stairs. The walls inside were inlaid with luminous pearls, making the entire space dimly blue.
"What's the difference?" Mickey asked.
"This place seems to be isolated from the outside. If items are placed in the space inside, they will not be easily damaged. It should be the effect of some kind of formation."
Bai Suxie said calmly.
"I don't understand anyway, let's go inside."
Mickey couldn't feel anything, maybe because her strength was not at the level of a master, so she was very insensitive.
This space is actually not very large. When they walked inside, Mickey was shocked.
"There's someone there."
"Not a living person."
Bai Suxie immediately became alert. When he came a little closer with his dagger in hand, he saw an old man in gray robe sitting cross-legged on a futon in front of him.
Although the robe is gray, the material is very expensive at first glance.
The old man's eyes were slightly closed, his face was rosy, and he looked lifelike, as if he was asleep.
But from the state of his facial muscles and body, it can be seen that this is not a living person, because he is not breathing.
"It scared me. I thought there was an old monster hiding in this house that has lived for thousands of years."
Mickey patted her chest.
"Immortal for a thousand years... Who knows, but the old man here must be dead, completely dead." Bai Suxie said.
"That's the scroll."
Mi Qi glanced at a pile of silk piled together near the old man's right hand, forming the shape of a scroll.
Many books in ancient times were made of this kind of silk.
Mickey touched it lightly because she was worried that this silk scroll would break like the ones outside.
When she got closer, she squeezed it gently and felt the unique smooth touch of silk.
"It's really preserved."
Mickey said in surprise.
Previously, she thought that Bai Suxie's feelings were an illusion, but now she could judge from this silk scroll that Bai Suxie's feelings were right.
She picked up the top silk book...
I don’t know eight out of ten characters.
"Mr. Bai, you better come and read it. I can't understand this book."
Mickey had to admit that she didn't learn enough ancient Chinese characters. She only knew a few common characters, but she still couldn't read them freely.
Bai Suxie took the silk scroll, read it carefully, and frowned.
"The rules for using ancient Chinese characters are very different from modern ones, but I roughly figured out what happened."
"This man, he is the elder of Yaowang Sect. He is not the highest status, but he has the heaviest burden. He shoulders a hidden mission. Once something happens to the sect, he must pass on the sect's spark."
"The Yaowang Sect is besieged by the Demon Cult. The enemy is the so-called Demon Cult. What it is specifically is not clearly stated above."
"He sealed himself here in advance. At the last moment, he wrote these words and hid the sect's most useful scrolls here. At the same time, he took poison to kill his vitality." Bai Suxie said.
"Why is this?" Mickey couldn't understand.
"The Demon Cult has the means to detect signs of life. In order to prevent this place from being exposed, he had no choice but to commit suicide..."
"In addition, the most important symbol of the sect, the Medicine King Cauldron, was also taken away by a disciple and left the sect's residence."
"The Medicine King Cauldron is the key to opening the sect's small space, and it is also the fundamental wonder of the Medicine King Sect."
Bai Suxie said.
