Chen Fan thought over and over again and felt that the royal library must not be that simple, and there must be some mystery in it, so Chen Fan began to search the library carefully.
"Young man, what are you looking for?" As he spoke, a voice suddenly came to mind from behind Chen Fan.
"Huh?" Chen Fan was stunned, turned around and saw an old man behind him.
This old man is really too old, and even Chen Fan can't bear to look at him. He is about eighty years old, and is blind. He just leans forward slightly, which is the result of trying to hear people clearly.
a habit.
The old man had large death spots all over his face. Chen Fan had only seen such death spots on one person, and that was Li Renxian, the ancestor of the Wenjian Sect.
This means that this person has exhausted his life and his longevity has almost come to an end. At that time, Li Renxian passed away not long after experiencing the battle in the Ghost Valley.
"This senior." Chen Fan looked a little suspicious and looked at this person up and down.
With Chen Fan's eyesight, he could not see any details about this man, as if he was just an ordinary old man.
There was no trace of vitality in his body, and looking at the old man wearing black clothes and holding a broom in his hand, he should be the sweeper of the royal library.
"Dare I ask you, senior?"
"Oh, old man, I'm already too old to be considered a senior." The old man spoke feebly. As he spoke, he was struggling to sweep the floor. People were stumbling on their feet, and he said, "Old man, I,
I have served His Majesty the Royal Family for three generations, and now that I am getting older, Your Majesty rewards me to sweep the floors here and spend my remaining years peacefully."
"Hey, I'm not younger than you."
As he said that, the old man sweeping the floor slowly moved forward with a sneer, and the broom in his hand was "brushing" and "brushing" again and again.
"Huh?" Chen Fan raised his eyebrows. Although he was not suspicious, Chen Fan thought about it. This old man could serve the royal majesty for three generations. That is considered a long life. This old man probably knows about the royal family's affairs.
If you have any questions, just ask him.
"Shu Zi has something to ask." Chen Fan clasped his fists and said politely, "May I ask if the royal family built a formation at the foot of Qianlong Mountain three thousand years ago?"
"Ah?" The old man was a little confused and asked again with difficulty. Chen Fan then repeated it several times.
"Oh." The old man finally heard it clearly. He pondered for a moment, leaned on the broom, and said lightly, "I can't remember, I can't remember. Old man, I am so old, but how can I know what happened three thousand years ago?
Well, if you want to tell me, there seems to be such a formation at the foot of Qianlong Mountain."
"Oh? Senior, can you explain it in detail?"
When he heard that there seemed to be something interesting, Chen Fan's eyes lit up and he quickly continued to ask. However, the old man seemed unwilling to continue talking. He just shook his head and said, "Say? I don't remember either, old man."
"Why."
Chen Fan let out a long sigh, but the old man had already swept the floor and walked to the other side. As he walked, the old man said, "But if you want to know this, old man, I know a place to go."
"Oh? Senior, please make it clear." There was a slight fluctuation in Chen Fan's tone. The old man really knew.
"There is an underground library under the royal library. The collection of books there is relatively old. If you are interested, you can come and take a look."
After saying this, Chen Fan was immediately moved and nodded quickly, "Okay."
The old man held the broom, put down what he was doing, and headed towards the second floor. Chen Fan followed the old man up to the second floor. The old man went to a closet and fumbled around. The closet opened instantly. It turned out that inside
There is a cave. Follow this old man and walk in. The old man doesn't light a lamp. He seems to be completely accustomed to the darkness. Chen Fan is a practitioner. After a moment of movement, his eyes are "like watching fire". Looking at this darkness, there is no problem at all.
No.
Go down from the second floor, and there is a stone chamber below. Open the door of this stone chamber, which leads to the underground.
"This royal library really has another mystery."
Chen Fan's heart moved slightly.
"Furthermore, this design is also clever. Most casual people only think of finding the entrance to the underground library from the ground floor. Who would have thought that to actually go to the entrance of the underground library, you should first go to the second floor and start from the second floor.
The secret room only has this entrance when it reaches the ground floor?"
Chen Fan instantly became more curious about the underground library.
The old man stretched out his hand and groped on the wall for a while. After a while, the ground trembled slightly, and the door opened. Chen Fan had a curious look on his face and walked closer.
Countless luminous pearls lit up the four walls of this stone chamber.
"This is it." The old man put down the stone lock in his hand and threw it on the ground. He coughed a few times and walked aside to take a nap. "Old man, I'm tired. You can see for yourself."
As he said this, he started snoring loudly after a while.
Chen Fan was speechless. He just glanced at it, but then withdrew his gaze and looked forward. The place here was really not that big. Even Chen Fan was a little shocked. He didn't expect that the royal family would be under this library.
Such a large space has been built!
The space here is definitely ten times larger than the library above!
Looking around, there are densely packed bookshelves with countless books on them.
Chen Fan couldn't help but feel slightly stunned, "Unless you are a Xuanying monk who can collect thousands of books with just one thought, otherwise, if you read them one by one, even if you read a thousand lines at a glance, you will not be able to finish all the books here in a hundred years."
Well, now that we are here, let's search carefully. Chen Fan's heart is filled with passion again. In order to find the secret of the Tomb of Seven Stars, Chen Fan has put in a lot of effort. He can't waste it anymore.
.
So Chen Fan walked to these bookshelves and started to read the books one by one. The books here were all covered with dust, but they were well maintained.
Chen Fan looked at them one by one. Chen Fan was satisfied with the books on them. Sure enough, they all recorded events from a thousand years ago. After a while, Chen Fan became fascinated by them.
Anyway, there was nothing much going on in the royal family. After coming and going, Chen Fan got used to this kind of life.
After getting to know the old man well, Chen Fan brought something to the old man every day, either some chickens, ducks, roast geese, or some good wine. The old man just nodded happily.
This library was extremely empty, with no one around all year round, so Chen Fan could just read here in peace and contentment.
Read during the day, go back to practice at night, and come back the next day.
This process lasted for several months.
During this period, Chen Fan did find out a lot of secrets about the royal mausoleum, but the things recorded there were a bit unclear. However, compared to the ignorance at the beginning, Chen Fan finally knew a lot more.
"Well, what is this?" On this day, when Chen Fan opened the book he read yesterday, there was now a page in the book.
The material of this paper is a bit strange, it seems to be sheepskin, and the writing on it is a bit blurry and unreadable.
"This is..." Chen Fan couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the old man in the distance. The old man had already finished eating the roast chicken and wine, and was sitting there taking a nap again. There were chicken bones scattered on the ground, and the handles were very unimageable.
The oil rubbed on his clothes. This old man was very old, but he had a huge appetite. He would eat three chickens in one meal.
"I was looking through this book yesterday, but this parchment is sandwiched here. It seems that the old man deliberately wanted to show it to me."
Chen Fan pondered for a moment. There was no third person in the library. Chen Fan pretended not to know, so he picked up the parchment and looked at it. At this sight, Chen Fan frowned.
This is a font that is far different from contemporary ones! The font is so ancient that it can be traced back to 20,000 years ago. The writing on it now looks like symbols, completely unrecognizable, like twisted tadpoles.
Twenty thousand years ago, everything changed, including this font.
Chen Fan dares to guarantee that no one in the entire Hundred Dynasties would be able to recognize this type of font, even if they found the Kingdom of Jiang and the Ancient Land.
