For those high-level exercises, Tang Baihu never expected that he could succeed in practicing them.
He was more searching for some exercises that were highly practical but did not require any qualifications.
As for the secret scrolls, treasure maps and the like, these things are naturally what he needs to look for. Although the probability of them appearing is very slim, he has read so many fantasy novels and it is written like this.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
This thing is like buying a lottery ticket. Even if you know that the probability of winning is slim, you still will.
If you fail, the loss will actually be infinitely close to zero; but once you succeed, you will have no worries about food and clothing.
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Du Xiaotao. To be honest, although Du Xiaotao looked dull, he still had high hopes for this person.
Isn’t there a saying that goes like this: Fools are blessed.
Sutra Pavilion, lobby on the first floor.
This place is different from the narrow one when you first entered. It is very spacious. And there are no bookshelves, no ancient books or bamboo slips here. Instead, there are doors that look full of age.
A formation is set up on each gate. As long as you enter, the gate will emit light, and the person inside can be in another dimension. There are hundreds of exercises placed there.
Song Yuxin leaned against the wall, feeling quite bored.
She was different from others. She knew exactly what she wanted before she came in, so she found it right from the start.
But after finally entering the Sutra Pavilion once, she didn't want to leave so quickly.
Everyone is inside, how boring it would be if I went out so quickly.
She looked around, wandering around boredly.
The formation on the door is very special. As long as someone enters, it will emit light and then reject the next person who enters.
As early as the moment she entered the hall, Song Yuxin vaguely felt something was wrong, but she just couldn't tell what was wrong.
But at this time, she looked at the illuminated doors, counted them forward and backward, and frowned slightly.
"How come there are only eight?"
"Didn't you say that the top ten have all come in? Only Tang Baihu can go up to the second floor. Is there someone else wandering around in the place where he just entered?"
Song Yuxin was slightly amused and trotted towards the door.
"No……"
"No……"
Repeated but very small sounds came out one after another. Song Yuxin chuckled, stood on tiptoe, and crouched to look for it secretly.
Du Xiaotao?
What is he doing?
Song Yuxin looked at Du Xiaotao holding a book in each hand, shook it with his hands, then put it back in place, and picked up two new ones.
She froze on the spot.
It didn't matter if that was the case. The most terrifying thing was that Du Xiaotao suddenly stopped at the bottom of a shelf, his eyes flashed, and he immediately pounced on a box covered with spider webs.
Seeing his excited look, some people thought he had discovered some treasure.
He tried hard to control his emotions, took a deep breath, suppressed the turbulence in his heart, took out the box, and blew away the dust on it.
Maybe I felt it was not enough, so I wiped it several times with my hands.
Looking at it like this, it's like playing house when you were a kid.
Song Yuxin was completely confused, her little head was filled with big question marks. I couldn't tell, this big guy was so girlish, I didn't even like playing with him, and he was still playing so happily.
But this is the Sutra Pavilion, a place where countless people are squeezing and trying to get in. The high-level exercises on the first floor are limited, so if you don’t rush to grab them, you’re still hiding here playing with the box.
Brother, is your mind okay?
"Du Xiaotao! What are you doing here!" Song Yuxin couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily with her hands on her waist.
Du Xiaotao, who was cleaning the box, was startled when he heard this, and his body trembled. His hands were not steady for a moment, and the box almost fell.
He subconsciously picked it up quickly, then slowly turned around when he had the courage to do so, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person speaking was Song Yuxin.
"I was scared to death. I thought the guardian of the scriptures was coming..."
"Hmph, so you can just hide here and play if the guardian doesn't come?"
Play?
Du Xiaotao looked puzzled and said doubtfully: "Who said I was playing? I was looking for a treasure."
Song Yuxin:???
"Please, can you think twice before you lie to others? What kind of treasure can Li Neng have in the Sutra Pavilion? Even if he does, it is on the third floor. What good things can be found here? Besides, who is a good person?
Are you looking for a treasure like this?"
"Why not?" Seeing Song Yuxin refute him, Du Xiaotao was immediately unconvinced and pointed not far away: "That's how Tang Baihu found it too."
Tang Baihu? Senior brother? Competition champion?
Song Yuxin looked suspiciously in the direction Du Xiaotao pointed, and sure enough, she saw a tall figure among the densely packed bookshelves.
However, what the man is doing now is completely different from what the two of them imagined.
At this time, Tang Baihu was leaning against a bookshelf, holding a bamboo slip in his hand, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about some avenue but hit a bottleneck.
The sunlight cast a few rays of light through the window sill on the third floor, which happened to shine on Tang Baihu.
For a moment, this man seemed to have come out of an ancient painting, so beautiful.
Du Xiaotao:???
You promised to find the baby? What are you doing?
We are all from the same school, aren't you bullying an honest person?
Song Yuxin was stunned for a moment, but when she thought of what Tang Baihu did to her in the waiting area, she quickly came back to her senses.
She turned around and looked at her sweaty head, holding a dirty box in her hand, and couldn't help but laugh: "The way you look for treasures is exactly the same."
Du Xiaotao said nothing. He looked at his dirty hands and then at Tang Baihu's clean face and clothes. For a moment, he felt the danger of society in advance.
"That...thing is not what you think, please listen to my explanation..."
"No need to explain. You have nothing to explain to me, and I don't want to hear it."
"No, you believe me, you want to hear it."
"No, I said I don't want to."
"Tang Baihu was obviously a guy at the end of the crane in the outer courtyard before, but after finishing retreat, he seemed to be a completely different person. Not only did his cultivation level improve by leaps and bounds, but even the techniques he used were weird. Don't you know that you don't know anything about it?
Are you curious about the secret behind this?"
"I said, I don't...well? What did you say? Do you know the secret behind him?"
"Forget it, I don't know, you don't want to hear it anyway."
After saying that, Du Xiaotao pretended to leave. Song Yuxin saw it and didn't care how dirty he was. She grabbed his arm and said, "Hey, hey, there's something to say. Don't leave. Why are you like this?"
Hold a grudge."
While the two were talking, Tang Baihu had already moved the bamboo slips in his hands to another place.
Naturally, he didn't change places because he heard Song Yuxin and Du Xiaotao's discussion about him, but because he felt a bit cold in this place and simply wanted to change places and continue reading.
