Wenhui Pavilion.
A wisp of incense rises slowly from the incense burner with ancient animal patterns and floats among the rows of mahogany bookshelves. There are several strings of wind chimes on the beams swinging in the wind, making a tinkling sound, which further highlights the inside of the bookcase. Original elegant atmosphere.
The next moment, the atmosphere was suddenly broken by a loud noise.
"General! You lost again." Liu Yuan slapped the pawns on the chessboard, and pointed at his damn knight, "I've given you two chariots and two cannons, let me say what you want. I I really tried my best and tried my best to lose to you, but it’s still too difficult.”
Liu Yuan shook his head repeatedly, "It's really difficult for me."
"You!! I don't want to play anymore. This bastard thing called chess is so boring."
Ren Feng didn't like to play this kind of brain-intensive game, and he always lost, so he just spread the chess pieces.
Indeed, it was too shameful to be killed by a pawn.
"Don't underestimate the pawn who has crossed the river," Liu Yuan was about to explain to him the principles of playing chess, but Ren Feng blocked his ears directly, with a posture of "I won't listen, I won't listen."
At this moment, his body's true energy suddenly tightened, and even the air around him became stagnant.
"what's the situation?"
He turned his head towards the window in astonishment. What does this feel like? A high level of spiritual pressure.
Immediately, Liu Yuan, who had a lower level of cultivation, also felt that the spiritual pressure was definitely higher than that of his senior brothers, but it was not as majestic as the Pavilion Director Jingzong. Looks like an uninvited guest.
With the sound of the wind, I saw a huge lotus leaf approaching from a distance. It seemed unpleasant but it had already arrived in front of me. A well-dressed round-faced girl is sitting on it. She is Ren Xiaowen, a direct female disciple of the Fifth Peak.
"It turns out to be Junior Sister Xiaowen. We haven't seen you for a long time. Do you miss me, brother?" Ren Feng's eyes lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Liu Yuan behind him.
"Who knew you were here? If I had known you were here beforehand, I wouldn't have come." Xiaowen frowned slightly, but her good tutoring finally prevented her from having an attack. Ren Feng was famous in the family for being idle and fooling around, but she had seen it since she was a child and didn't take him too seriously.
"Junior sister is joking. I know you are embarrassed to say it. Brother, I know it's okay." Sensing the faint fragrance of junior sister, Ren Feng was like a bear seeing honey. The junior sister completely forgot about it.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm here for business." Fortunately, Xiaowen had just returned home and was in a good mood. He actually held back the attack and only released a small amount of spiritual pressure. However, Ren Feng and Ren Feng were forced to retreat continuously. .
"Huh? How did you reach the seventh level of cultivation? This progress is too slow. How can we find out how low you are in this generation?"
"Actually... it's... really."
Ren Feng couldn't help but look at Liu Yuan.
Only then did Xiao Wen notice that there was a lower Qi Refining Level 5 next to him. He was a little surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment. He couldn't help but blush.
After some introduction by Ren Feng, I found out that for this mission, I still had to ask this junior brother, who had the lowest level of cultivation, for help.
How embarrassing!
Xiaowen had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell Liu Yuan what he was looking for in detail.
"Related information about the Mandala Kingdom? I seem to have some impression."
Liu Yuan took out a bibliography and started looking through it.
"I'll look for the area that begins with the word Man..." Liu Yuan muttered to himself, while the other two were confused.
"Here it is." He took out a picture scroll, which was densely packed like a maze. "I have already marked the locations according to the first letters of the books. Please follow me."
Xiao Wen and Ren Feng followed him through the rows of wooden shelves that exuded a faint scent of books. They were a little dazzled, but Liu Yuan was like an ant returning to its nest, walking back and forth without any disorder.
"This picture is a top view of the entire Wenhui Pavilion. I divided all the books into different areas according to the book classification method according to the first letter of each book, such as A, B, C, D, etc. The word "Man" is located in the third row of Xinba District."
Listening to Liu Yuan's explanation, the two of them seemed to understand something about the initials and the book classification method. They felt that they were very powerful.
"What's going on in your head," Ren Feng lamented. "You invented that weird chess game and this classification method, but your cultivation speed is so slow. I don't know whether I should call you a genius or a crook."
"Master said that a ruler is short and an inch is long. The level of cultivation cannot represent everything. Everyone has a treasure house inside. Maybe they have potential talents that have not yet been discovered. Now it seems that what he said is true." Xiao Wen. Said calmly and seriously, these words were actually very simple, but they made Liu Yuan's heart move.
"Here it is,"
The three of them finally found the area where Manzi was located. Next, the three of them were stunned.
The entire row of Man characters are all related to the Manduo Kingdom: biographies, miscellaneous notes, various classics, storybooks, and chronicles. There are actually as many as forty or fifty copies of various books.
"You actually only have some impression?"
Ren Feng turned to ask Liu Yuan, the librarian.
"There are so many miscellaneous books in Wenhui Pavilion, how can I remember them all?"
Actually there is a reason.
The Manduo Kingdom is located in a huge area called Southern Border in the south of Vietnam. After climbing over a high mountain range, and then passing through an uninhabited area of thousands of miles of huge swamps, the territory of Southern Border is reached. There are some large and small countries scattered there, and some are even just tribes. It is said that there is also an area where demons are entrenched. Anyway, the Yue people call them Nanman.
At first, there were several average sects of cultivating immortals in Manduo Kingdom, but one of them, a medium-sized sect called Yunmenggu, gradually gained strength, merged and integrated other sects, and began to show signs of competing for hegemony in Manduo Kingdom. This is a normal thing, but it is rumored that the valley has mastered some evil arts, mostly psychedelic and bewitching spells, and it is getting more and more biased. It is said that captive monks from other sects will be used for experiments.
More and more evidence shows that Yunmeng Valley started to become stronger and bigger by relying on these evil ways.
Finally, several other large factions with a long tradition in southern Xinjiang could no longer sit still, and began to discuss a joint encirclement and suppression campaign, and roped in some friends from Vietnam for support. Finally, after several battles, they pressed Yunmeng Valley step by step, and in the final decisive battle, they entered the valley, destroyed the main altar, and slaughtered them all. Only a few remnants escaped from the southern border and disappeared from the world of immortality. . The largest force of cultivating immortals in Manduo Kingdom fell. Within a few years, the country gradually declined and was divided among several other countries, and disappeared into the dust of history.
An uncle of Lingtian Pavilion happened to be the representative figure of the Yue Kingdom participating in the decisive battle. His personal hobby was to collect some foreign books, so before the fall of the Manduo Kingdom, he brought back a large number of books, regardless of whether they were good or bad.
After many years of erosion, there are actually dozens of miscellaneous books that have ended up in Wenhui Pavilion.
"Um...junior sister, which one does your master want? I'll find it for you." Ren Feng rolled up his sleeves, and now he seemed to be the master of the bookstore.
"Um...Master just said anything related to the descendants of Manduo Kingdom is fine," Xiaowen recalled, "How about taking them all?"
"Then do you have a space storage magic weapon?" Ren Feng frowned.
"No, I didn't expect there to be so many books. I thought it was just one or two..." After all, Xiao Wen is only a fifteen-year-old new disciple, and he doesn't have such rigorous experience yet.
"Then pack it up." Liu Yuan suddenly said.
"What? What do you mean by packing?"
"I don't even know how to pack it, it's just that... right, I'm looking for a wooden box," Liu Yuan suddenly ran away, and when he came back, he had a big wooden box in his hand. "Come and do me a favor and pack it in."
So the other two teenagers stupidly followed Liu Yuan's ideas and started packing books, completely forgetting that they would borrow a storage ring from the Ren family's ancestral pavilion for a short time.
The strength of the monks in the weapon refining stage is naturally stronger than that of ordinary mortals, and Xiaowen is already in the foundation building stage. When they moved the box to the lotus leaf-shaped flying magic weapon, the lotus leaves sank slightly.
"It seems a little unstable. I'm not very good at mastering the flying magic weapon that my senior sister borrowed."
"It's easy. I'll help you and go together." Ren Feng's eyes were bright again, "I also saw the fifth peak, which opened my eyes."
"Well..." Xiao Wen looked at the aggressive Ren Feng, as if looking at a slobbering wolf. She took a half step back and turned to Liu Yuan, who was wiping his sweat. "You'd better go with me, right?" I don’t know your name yet.”
At an altitude of several hundred meters, a huge lotus leaf swayed and flew towards the distant peak. When you looked carefully, you could see that there was a man and a woman on it. The remaining space was occupied by a tall wooden box.
"Liu Yuan. Are you still used to it?"
"Don't worry." Having said that, it was his first time flying with a royal weapon. Liu Yuan was still quite uneasy while holding the big wooden box. Watching the bamboo forest and mountain peaks under his feet getting smaller, and the wind blowing in his face blowing his sleeves, Liu Yuan felt a little dizzy.
"Okay, hold on tight. We are almost reaching the main peak. Below is the outer trial valley, and the airflow may be a little unstable."
Xiaowen continued to use his kung fu to move the lotus leaves.
Suddenly, a beast roar came from the valley at his feet, spiritual pressure rushed from the valley to the sky, and the lotus leaves shook violently.
It was good that Xiaowen had a strong foundation, but Liu Yuanke almost let go, and in desperation, he used his other hand to hold the nearest thing - Xiaowen's shoulder. When the soft and fragrant shoulder touched his hand, Liu Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart, and the "Qi Shield Technique" he had practiced before was naturally activated.
"ah."
Xiaowen felt a little strange in his heart. He knew that Liu Yuan was acting subconsciously because he was unable to stand firmly, so he couldn't say anything.
Liu Yuan quickly retracted his hand and found that the other party was not angry.
"What's the name of your technique?"
"My name is..." Liu Yuan was embarrassed to say that this thin layer was also considered an air shield, so he had to make up a nonsense: "Air Film Technique."
Xiaowen thought differently, thinking that when Liu Yuan lost his balance and wanted to help her, he still remembered his rudeness and immediately activated an air film technique to block the skin-to-skin contact. This was the behavior of a gentleman.
It's a pity that his friend Ren Feng...
Making careless friends.
"It turns out to be air membrane surgery,"
Xiaowen's voice was also very low. She lowered her head and made a comment. What they didn't know was that this sentence had led Liu Yuan astray for many, many years:
"This spell... I think... is very good."
