Ye Xiaochuan returned to Qiming Mountain, and the news was immediately passed back by the spies placed around Qiming Mountain by various factions.
After receiving the news, the various factions were actually not surprised.
After all, Ye Xiaochuan had already let the word out and set off for the Sea of Forgetfulness on February 1st.
Tomorrow is February 1st.
Ye Xiaochuan will definitely return to Qiming Mountain within the next two days.
Guan Shaoqin had just come out of the empty library, and then Yang Ling'er came forward to report that Ye Xiaochuan had appeared in Qiming Mountain.
Guan Shaoqin can't hear the words Ye Xiaochuan now.
Guan Shaoqin looked at the sky and saw that it was not yet noon, and murmured: "He is really fast."
Yang Ling'er looked puzzled and said, "Master, what did you say?"
Guan Shaoqin shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Regarding Ye Xiaochuan's appearance at Tianshan Piaomiao Pavilion last night and the emptying of the nine-story library, it is top secret.
Now that Ye Xiaochuan has taken away the Xuanhuo Order, the inheritance of the Xuanhuo Order must be stopped in his hands, and he cannot tell the next master of Piaomiao Pavilion.
Now that the evidence of the Xuanhuo Order is no longer in the Piaomiao Pavilion, from now on the Piaomiao Pavilion can openly and honestly regard itself as righteous, and no longer have to live in fear all day long.
Therefore, Guan Shaoqin did not intend to tell Yang Ling'er what happened last night.
The secrets about the Xuanhuo Order will be completely buried with the death of her and Shen Congjun.
The two masters and apprentices walked side by side towards Guan Shaoqin's residence. On the way, Yang Ling'er said very puzzledly: "We have sent many elders and disciples to investigate the theft of books, but there are no clues at all. Master, Master Shen, uncle has been collecting books."
Is there a retreat on the ninth floor of the building? Who can take her?
Under the eyes of the old man, millions of books were emptied overnight." Guan Shaoqin said: "Those books are not cultivation methods. If they are lost, they are lost. Send an announcement saying that Baichuan Palace was stolen last night and lost.
A batch of ancient books is enough, and then a group of disciples can be sent out to pursue it with great fanfare.
.”
Guan Shaoqin knew that there were now hundreds of thousands of cultivators from various righteous sects stationed around Piaomiao Pavilion, and this matter could not be hidden.
Instead of letting people from other sects guess, it is better to announce the matter openly and then send dozens of female disciples of Piaomiao Pavilion to go out and investigate for a period of time with great fanfare, and the matter can be concluded.
Yang Ling'er was very smart. She knew immediately that her master must have known the inside story about the theft of the library last night.
Sending people out to search is just a pretense. Those millions of books will definitely not be found.
She is not as open-minded as Guan Shaoqin.
Although the millions of lost books have no true method of cultivation, they are endless cultural treasures and are the hard work accumulated by Piaomiao Pavilion for more than three thousand years.
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and civilization will definitely be destroyed under the catastrophe. At this time, books, as an important inheritance medium of civilization, have become prominent.
After this catastrophe, Piaomiao Pavilion still doesn’t know how many more years it will take to collect so many books.
But Guan Shaoqin refused to explain the reason, and Yang Ling'er didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The master and apprentice came to Guan Shaoqin's study, and Guan Shaoqin asked Yang Ling'er to close the door.
Then, she walked to a bookshelf and reached out to turn some mechanism.
The front bookshelf is harmoniously divided into two parts from the middle, and slowly slides to both sides, revealing a smooth and flat wall.
Guan Shaoqin raised his fingers in the air, and a Tai Chi Bagua diagram was printed on the wall.
The Tai Chi diagram rotates slowly, and the lines of different lengths with various hexagrams on it are also flowing.
Guan Shaoqin stretched out his hands and moved the hexagrams quickly.
Soon, the seal on the Tai Chi Bagua diagram was unlocked, and the flat wall began to twist like water waves. After a while, the wall seemed to have really formed a water curtain.
This scene made Yang Ling'er grin from ear to ear in surprise.
She knew that this water curtain was a door.
She had been in and out of her mentor's study for decades, but she never knew there was a secret room behind the bookshelf.
Guan Shaoqin looked back at the shocked Yang Ling'er and said: "This is the residence of the past masters of Piaomiao Pavilion, so naturally there are some unknown secrets.
You are the future master of Piaomiao Pavilion, there are some things that I should let you know, please come in with me."
Guan Shaoqin took the first step and passed through the water curtain, and his figure was instantly swallowed by the water curtain.
Yang Ling'er hesitated for a moment and then followed.
Behind the water curtain is a square, circular stone chamber. It is not huge, but it is quite tall. Looking up, it is at least three feet high.
On one side of the stone room, there is a five-foot-high stone platform. On the stone platform is a white jade statue of a young woman.
Yang Ling'er thought it was the jade statue of Fairy Piaomiao, the first generation founder of Piaomiao Pavilion, but when she walked in and took a look, the appearance of the jade statue was very different from the widely circulated portrait of Fairy Piaomiao.
There are many portraits or statues of the Patriarch Empress circulated in Piaomiao Pavilion. She is a beautiful and graceful woman with an oval face and a red mole between her eyebrows.
However, the jade statue in front of me has a round face and big eyes, so it is definitely not the jade statue of an ethereal fairy.
Following Guan Shaoqin up the stone platform and in front of the jade statue, Yang Ling'er saw a round jade platform stepping on the foot of the jade statue.
The jade platform is very strange. It is not round or in the shape of a lotus, but in the shape of a ball of flame.
Seeing the shape of this jade platform, Yang Ling'er felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Only the Demonic Cult of the Western Regions in the world uses flame as its totem.
When she saw the flaming jade platform at the foot of the jade statue, she couldn't help but have some bad thoughts in her heart.
She asked: "Master, whose statue is this? Why is it enshrined in this secret room?"
Guan Shaoqin looked at this life-size and lifelike jade statue and said lightly: "This is the jade carving of our ancestor when she was young."
Yang Ling'er asked in confusion: "Is she the Patriarch? Why are they different from the portraits and statues enshrined in the pavilion..."
Guan Shaoqin said: "People are subject to change. Our ancestor empress looked like this when she was young. It was only when she got older that her appearance changed a little."
Yang Ling'er is not a fool. She can change her appearance. How could she even change her face shape and facial features?
The jade sculpture in front of me looks exactly like the ancestor empress she is familiar with.
In this regard, Guan Shaoqin did not explain any more.
She said: "Below the jade statue of the Patriarch, there is a hidden compartment. Ling'er, go and take out the things in the hidden compartment."
Yang Ling'er came to the jade statue with full of doubts, and soon discovered that there was indeed a hidden compartment on the flame jade platform.
She opened a corner of the flame, revealing a small hole, and reached out to take out an object wrapped in yellow brocade.
Yang Ling'er came over and said, "Master, is this the thing?"
Guan Shaoqin nodded slightly, took it, and opened the yellow brocade cloth.
Wrapped inside is a dark yellow jade medal, which is irregular in shape and about the size of an adult man's palm.
There are two words clearly engraved on the jade plaque: Chiyang.
When Yang Ling'er saw this, her pretty face suddenly changed and she said: "Master, is this... the most precious treasure of our Piaomiao Pavilion, Chiyang?" Guan Shaoqin nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is Chiyang. There is only one like this in the world.
