Zuo Shisan was full of curiosity about the old man in the cave in the back mountain of the Dragon Tiger Sect. Who was he and why he could know things about the fourth realm and even see through problems with his own body at a glance.
However, since Lu Yu didn't intend to tell him, Zuo Shisan didn't ask again.
Zuo Shisan remembered what the old man said about October. Now that October is still more than a month away, Zuo Shisan knew exactly what he should do now.
Become stronger and restore yourself to your peak cultivation level at all costs. Otherwise, even if they really find the entrance to the fourth realm, Zuo Shisan will not be able to save An Rushuang from the hands of the black-robed man.
The three of them returned to Lu Yu's residence, and Lu Yu asked Zuo Shisan and Shang Yunsu to go somewhere with her.
Zuo Shisan was absent-minded all day. His thoughts were all on An Rushuang, and he was always worried about her safety.
Lu Yu also noticed it, so he said to Zuo Shisan on the road:
"Thirteen, this place I take you to may be able to find out the true identity of the man in black robe who took An Rushuang away to the fourth realm!"
Lu Yu's words instantly brought Zuo Shisan back from his thoughts.
There are two safest places in the Dragon and Tiger Sect. The first is the residence of the sect leader, and the second is the library.
The Library Pavilion contains various ancient books and secret techniques that the Dragon and Tiger Sect has preserved and collected for thousands of years. Not only is it heavily guarded, but it also has mechanisms and formations. Normally, only real people of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, as well as elders and sect leaders can enter.
.
Lu Yu led Zuo Shisan and Shang Yunsu to the door of the library quickly. Lu Yu stopped. She turned back to look at Shang Yunsu and said:
"Miss, the Library Pavilion is an important place of our Dragon and Tiger Sect. You are not a disciple of our Dragon and Tiger Sect. According to the rules, you cannot enter."
After hearing this, Shang Yunsu immediately said:
"Master Lu, you are right. I completely understand. I will wait for you outside."
Lu Yu nodded and took out a yellow token from his body. A colorful light appeared on the token, and then the transparent barrier in front of them disappeared completely.
Zuo Shisan followed Lu Yu and walked into this library that he had never been to before.
The entire library was divided into two floors. Lu Yu walked directly to one of the bookshelves, searched nearby for a while, and pulled out one of the ancient books.
Lu Yu put the ancient books on the table, rummaged through them and said to Zuo Shisan:
"At the very beginning, when my junior brother Qingfeng Taoist Master accepted you as his disciple, I knew that you were followed by a ghost wife with thousands of years of Taoism, so at the beginning I also secretly investigated your ghost wife An
Rushuang’s bottom line and true identity. In the twenty years from Tang Wude to Tang Zhenguan, I searched for all the officials with the surname An who had records in history, and finally found the record of An Rushuang’s father and her family.
material."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Zuo Shisan immediately understood what Lu Yu meant:
"From this information, maybe we can find out the relationship between the black-robed man and Rushuang?"
Lu Yu nodded:
"Yes, I infer that An Rushuang was suddenly found and taken away at this time, and that he was taken to the fourth realm. It is most likely that it was done by someone who had met her or was even very familiar with her. He has been hiding in
Waiting for the opportunity in secret, and you lose all your cultivation, it is the perfect opportunity for him to show up and take An Rushuang away forcibly!"
Lu Yu said, finally finding the record about An Rushuang's father in this ancient book.
Zuo Shisan also looked carefully at the ancient books.
The pages of the book are yellowing, and black spots appear on them, no matter how good the storage conditions are.
On the right side of the ancient book, black calligraphy is written clearly:
"Tang Guan, an official of the fourth rank, Zhongshu Shilang, only had one daughter named Rushuang. In the twelfth year of Tang Zhenguan, he was demoted to a regular servant, and his official rank was lower than the fifth rank..."
The writing below became blurred and difficult to read.
Zuo Shisan glanced at these completely unclear handwritings and continued to read:
"In July of the 20th year of Zhenguan, Lou Duanping, a servant of the Tang Dynasty, died mysteriously. All the bones and flesh in his body were missing, leaving only a skin and a bloody head. The place of death was Lou Duanping's residence. The doors and windows were locked. There was no trace of death.
There are no traces, the tables and chairs in the house are not damaged at all..."
Seeing this, Zuo Shisan's heart trembled, and he immediately locked onto the name "Lou Duanping"!
"Is he the one who took An Rushuang away?!"
Lu Yu nodded:
"It is very possible that he died a thousand years ago, but his soul went to the fourth realm... Perhaps from that time, this servant of the Tang family has been eyeing An Rushuang, the rich lady, so
One month after An Rushuang's death, he learned some kind of evil technique to separate his soul from his body, thus achieving his goal of going to the fourth world."
"Thousands of years ago, there was a war between the three realms. This fourth realm existed for thousands of years. Maybe some people in the Tang Dynasty yearned for that place. It was said that if you go to the fourth realm, you can gain eternal life and even make the dead come back to life."
After Zuo Shisan listened to what Lu Yu said, he wanted to continue turning down the page, but found that the next page was blurry, and he couldn't make out any words recorded clearly.
"There are only so many clues at my disposal. At that time, I just wanted to investigate the authenticity of what An Rushuang said and confirm whether she was lying. I kept Lou Duanping in my heart. I didn't expect that his mysterious death was
In order to go to the fourth realm smoothly."
"Master Lu, then... what should I do now?" Zuo Shisan asked.
"To become stronger, no matter what the price, you must restore or even surpass your peak cultivation and abilities. Only in this way can you have the strength to rescue An Rushuang from the fourth realm." Lu Yu said and stretched out.
He patted Zuo Shisan on the shoulder and said:
"You can only rely on yourself for all this. No one can help you."
…
After Monk Yunsu, the thirteenth monk on the left, left the Longhu Sect, he suddenly remembered that Qiu Shasha had spoken to him, and he would go to the address she left at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to find her.
So Zuo Shisan quickly took out the note Qiu Shasha gave him. The address on it only had four words: "Sichuan Opera outside the city."
At 7:30 in the morning, Zuo Shisan arrived alone at the "Outside the City Sichuan Opera" on the outskirts of Dongdian City. This was an old house. The yard looked very big from the outside. Zuo Shisan saw that the door was open, so he walked in.
.
As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw two young guys in white clothes doing handstands against the wall.
After they saw someone walking in from the door, they quickly turned over and stood up from the wall:
"Who are you looking for?" One of the tall, fair-skinned young men asked looking at Thirteen from the left.
"I'm here to see Qiu Shasha." Zuo Shisan said.
"Oh, I'm looking for Senior Sister. You wait here and I'll call her over." The young man said and ran quickly behind.
The remaining young man kept looking at Zuo Shisan, walked over with a smile and asked:
"Brother, when you told me, were you our senior sister's boyfriend??"
Zuo Shisan was stunned when he heard this sentence. What is this...
He didn't understand Qiu Shasha's purpose of letting him come here early in the morning. He didn't know when Qiu Shasha became the senior sister of a young Sichuan opera actor. He didn't understand why the young man in front of him thought he was Qiu Shasha's boyfriend.
