In the hazy state, Yaoniang felt like she was being picked up, and she instinctively struggled, but when she opened her eyes, the familiar face calmed her down.
The woman sighed softly:
"Why do you have to come back!"
"Where are you going if you don't come back?"
The man smiled.
Yaoniang felt hatred in her heart and bit Pei Liang's neck.
The man's eyes narrowed and his whole body froze.
Yaoniang's silver teeth bit down on that piece of flesh, but she couldn't bear to exert any force, and she let go angrily.
"Can you bite me again? It feels so good."
"My skin is itchy. Don't give me that playful smile."
Yaoniang was furious and pinched her again.
"Where have you been these past few days?"
Pei Liang didn't reply. After entering the room, he put the beauty in his arms on the bed.
"I am reading"
Yaoniang sat up suddenly and grabbed the man's clothes:
"Reading, what are you reading?"
"There is a library in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which contains a lot of martial arts secrets. I have been there these past few days."
Yaoniang stared at the young man's half-smiling eyes, not noticing the slightest hint of lying.
"only you"
"Um"
"I don't believe it, there's no one else?"
Yaoniang put her face close to the boy, and her eyes widened.
Seeing this world-famous face so close before my eyes.
Pei Liang's eyes were a little wandering and he swallowed secretly.
"say something!"
Yaoniang's voice suddenly rose a lot.
Pei Liang, who quietly clenched his fists, quickly kissed the woman on the lips.
Yaoniang's eyes opened even wider now, and as soon as she raised her hand, Pei Liang ran away with her head in her arms.
"Hey, I can't hit you!"
The man who was hiding far away was still feeling proud.
Yaoniang's eyes were like looking at a fool, full of ridicule and helplessness.
I had just felt something, and I just stretched out my arms to hug this man. I finally took the initiative and ran away without kissing him. Little did I know that even a fool like Pei Liang couldn't accept this good thing that came to my door.
"Get out of here quickly"
Yaoniang sighed quietly and put her hand on her forehead, out of sight and out of mind.
"Farewell!"
Pei Liang clasped his hands in his fists and left immediately.
Yaoniang suddenly lost her temper and didn't know whether to be angry or funny.
Pei Liang closed the door and took a deep breath. The temptation of this beauty was too great, and his heart was still beating fast.
Pei Liang, Pei Liang, if you can't even pass the level of womanizing, how can you talk about reaching the pinnacle of martial arts in the future? Have you forgotten your master's last words?
Pei Liang, who was secretly ashamed, shook his dizzy head and quickly pushed the shadow of Yaoniang out of his mind.
Pei Liang went out at dawn the next day. As soon as he walked out of the yard, he heard a very slight movement behind him. Judging from the sound of the person's footsteps and the length of his breathing, he must be Yaoniang.
A woman with no strength wanted to follow a master of the Golden Body Realm. Pei Liang couldn't help but have a wry smile on his lips. If you want to follow, just follow.
She was walking in the garden and was familiar with the roads, but Yaoniang was unfamiliar with the place and place, and she almost lost her a few times.
In order to take care of the feelings of the stalker, Pei Liang deliberately slowed down his pace at critical moments. Yaoniang was not stupid. Seeing the young man strolling around, she knew that she had been exposed, so she stopped hiding and followed him openly.
The two of them were tens of meters apart. When they walked past the lake, Pei Liang's figure suddenly disappeared among the rocks of the rockery.
"Hmph, you want to scare me!"
Yaoniang curled her lips and followed quickly.
This rockery is composed of more than a dozen Taihu stones, large and small. Yaoniang followed the winding path. Not long after walking, a stone door suddenly cracked on the surface of the largest stone facing her.
Pei Liang hunched over inside and waved to her.
Yaoniang got in without even thinking,
After closing the stone door, the corridor suddenly became dark.
"Where is this?" Yaoniang couldn't help but lower her voice.
"Don't you want to see the library of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Pei Liang grabbed Yaoniang's delicate hand and walked inside.
"How come this building is built underground?"
"It's quite big inside. Don't look at it. The entrance is quite casual. This is a forbidden area, and there are people specially guarding it."
"Why didn't I see anyone?"
"They are hiding in the dark. I have a token so I can take you in and out freely."
The two of them were talking as they walked. Pei Liang took out the fire seal and led the way. The corridor is very narrow and can only accommodate one person. After going down several steps, there is a relatively smooth path paved with cobblestones. At the end, there are two stone doors.
"arrive"
Pei Liang let go of Yaoniang's hand and groped around the stone walls on both sides. He heard a roar and the closed stone door slowly opened.
A green light shone through, gradually covering Yaoniang's surprised face.
After entering, there is indeed a cave. A three-story wooden building stands in a cave more than ten meters high. There are evergreen lamps hanging on the surrounding stone walls. The green color comes from the doors and windows of the wooden building, which looks a bit strange.
"Don't be afraid. The light in this library is emitted by night pearls. Because of fire prevention, no oil lamps can be lit inside."
Pei Liang introduced.
Yaoniang nodded and looked around curiously, and suddenly found a faint light coming from the top of the cave.
"what is that?"
Yaoniang pointed.
Pei Liang smiled and said: "Test you, do you know where we are now?"
"Underground," Yaoniang replied immediately.
"Where exactly is it underground?"
Yaoniang thought for a while, and the lake next to the rockery suddenly appeared in her mind. She recalled the faint smell of moisture in the corridor, and suddenly realized: "It turns out it is under the lake!"
"Yes, we dug directly to the bottom of the lake. The bright light above your head is reflected by the lake water. It's just dawn now. By noon, the sun will directly fill the cave."
Yaoniang's eyes widened when she heard Pei Liang's introduction again. This design was really breathtaking and unbelievable.
"If light can shine in, why won't the lake water come in?"
Yaoniang had questions again.
"The light opening on the top of the cave is isolated from the lake water by a thick piece of crystal. It is well sealed and does not leak!"
Pei Liang also sighed, this project is indeed a masterpiece of ingenuity.
The first floor of the library is full of bookshelves, with stacks of books neatly stacked. The pages of many books are yellowed and the covers are worn. They must be from a long time ago.
Smelling the indescribable dull smell in the air, Yaoniang frowned and quickly opened the window for ventilation.
I casually flipped through a book called "Spring and Autumn Simple Knife Jue" on the shelf next to me. The character illustrations inside were lifelike, with detailed text annotations on the posture of holding the knife and the angle of chopping.
Although Yaoniang didn't understand martial arts, she could tell that this book must be very practical in battle. After reading a few articles, she was able to make a few gestures and benefited a lot.
Compared with these simple and easy-to-understand books, there are more books stacked on the bookshelf that have profound and abstract names at first glance, such as "Shui Yin Zhu", "Zi Yin Tai Shang Kao", "Sword Xuan Jing" and so on. Yaoniang felt dizzy when she opened the book and just read the beginning. There were so many weird sentences and uncommon words that she couldn't understand at all.
It seemed that she was really not the material to learn martial arts. Yaoniang no longer had the interest to continue reading.
Pei Liang picked a large pile and sat on the floor, looking at it with gusto.
Yaoniang turned around and went up to the second floor alone.
The collection of books on this second floor is half less than that on the first floor. Many books and even some incomplete pieces of paper are kept in special boxes. I think they are all extremely precious things.
The empty shelves were also filled with some strange things, including blackened iron pieces, yellowed prayer flags, rolled sheepskins, copperware full of inscriptions, and even a stone tablet as tall as a person.
to these things. Yaoniang has no interest in them either, let alone touching them. Her eyes were attracted by an ancient painting on the wall at this moment. There was only a woman in the painting, with beautiful appearance and flying clothes, like a descending fairy walking on the waves.
Its shape is as graceful as a startling giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon, with brilliant autumn chrysanthemums and gorgeous spring pine trees. It seems like the moon is covered by light clouds, and the fluttering snow is like the flowing wind. This is what the goddess of Luoshui depicted in Cao Zijian's "Ode to the Goddess of Luo" looks like.
But how could such an ordinary-looking painting appear here? If there is anything priceless about it, Yaoniang really can't tell. Although the fine brushwork technique is excellent, it can't be said to be a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.
Yaoniang shook her head and ignored it. She was about to go to the top of the building when she suddenly saw an iron fence blocking the entrance to the stairs, with a finger-thick iron chain tied to it.
This was nothing to Pei Liang, but Yaoniang couldn't do anything without the key.
I don't know what good things are hidden on the third floor of this small building, it's so mysterious.
Pei Liang was so absorbed in reading that he didn't even notice Yao Niang's footsteps coming downstairs.
After an unknown amount of time, the man was suddenly patted on the back of his head.
"Are you stupid?"
Pei Liang didn't even raise his head, waving his hand to the woman to play.
"I don't want to disturb you, but you are really bored."
Yaoniang pouted and held the man's arm coquettishly.
"Now I know I'm bored. Who insisted on following me so early in the morning?"
Pei Liang closed the book and said helplessly.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm not worried about you!"
Yaoniang poked Pei Liang's head with her finger.
"Then I'll take you away"
"good"
Yaoniang nodded obediently,
Pei Liang smiled slightly, stood up and walked out of the library. The sunlight from the top of the cave had already penetrated and hit the ground directly, making the wooden building shine.
The smooth crystal mirror reflects the underwater waves, which is beautiful and dreamy.
“I didn’t expect this place to be so beautiful!”
Yaoniang smiled brightly and insisted that Pei Liang show her a set of sword skills before leaving.
Pei Liang didn't have a sword in his hand at the moment, so he could only excuse himself and say it would happen another day.
Yaoniang remembered that she had seen a rusty sword in the corner of the second floor, so she ran into the library again.
Pei Liang waited for a while, but Yaoniang didn't come down yet, so he was about to go in and look for her. Suddenly someone pushed open the window on the second floor. Yaoniang leaned out excitedly and called Pei Liang to come up quickly, as if she suddenly discovered something good.
