Luo Li, originally the youngest family head of an ancient clan in the 21st century and the most talented alchemist, died one day and transmigrated into the body of the good-for-nothing eldest young...
Chapter 462 Parade Log
Luo Li nodded in agreement and shrugged, "But everything is just speculation. We still don't know where this secret realm came from. Maybe it has nothing to do with the War of the Gods."
She looked at the spotless white jade floor. Could the collaboration between Tianyu Palace and Cangyanhai be related to the underground city in this secret realm?
Akino swallowed and said, "Then I still hope it's the first two possibilities."
Mu Ze glanced at him and put his arm around his shoulders. "You said that, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't have survived until now, right? Relax."
Qiu Ye looked at Mu Ze with an expression of agreement, "Brother Mu, what you said makes a lot of sense! Relax, relax."
Luo Li looked at the two funny guys helplessly and continued walking forward. After reaching a small square, she paused, looked around and said, "Let's take a look around first."
"good!"
They were divided into teams of three, with each team entering a large building to investigate, and then gathering in the square after one stick of incense.
Luo Li, An Shuxue and Song Wanbai were in the same team. The three of them went straight into a large building in the east of the square.
When she reached the door, Luo Li reached out and pushed it gently. The door opened in response. She glanced sideways and said, "The door is not locked. Let's go in and take a look."
An Shuxue and Bei Mingyu looked at each other and nodded in response, "Okay."
Luo Li was the first to enter. A ray of soft light shone through the gaps in the glazed tiles on the roof. It should be the eternal candle on the second floor.
Dust dances lightly in the beam of light, adding a sense of mystery and time to this quiet space.
The interior furnishings are simple and quaint. Beside the carved wooden table, there seems to still be the sound of laughter from the past after meals, but now, there is only an empty table.
An Shuxue followed lightly, her eyes drawn to the several ink paintings hanging on the wall. The landscapes depicted in them were profound, as if they could transport one's mind to a misty wonderland. Unconsciously, she reached out, her fingertips lightly brushing the frame, but she didn't touch the painting.
Song Wanbai curiously walked around to the bookshelf on the side. The bookshelf was neatly arranged with ancient books that looked as neat as new, and each volume exuded a faint scent of ink.
He casually pulled out a book with the words "Ancient Formation Illustrated Book" written in ancient Chinese on the cover. He gently flipped it open and saw the intricate patterns and text. His eyes lit up, "There's actually an ancient book on formations!"
Luo Li nodded, "Maybe they didn't have time to take it away."
She looked at the bookshelf. "If I remember correctly, no matter how precious an ancient book is, it's worth a thousand points, right?"
An Shuxue nodded, "That's right."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "It seems that the top-ranked academies should have found this underground city earlier than us."
Luo Li's words reminded the two of them of a night when the points of Zesili Imperial College rose very regularly.
Song Wanbai nodded, "If that's the case, there should be more than one city here."
Luo Li nodded at the bookshelf and said, "Put it away first."
Song Wanbai nodded and waved his hand, and the ancient books on the bookshelf were collected into the space ring.
The three of them walked further inside and came to a long corridor.
A woody aroma mixed with a faint floral scent wafted towards me, and candlelight shone through the half-open window lattice, sprinkling mottled light on the floor of the corridor.
Although there are eternal candles, there are only a few of them, and the night pearls inside are not bright either, so the corridor appears very dim.
Luo Li held a night-shining pearl that she had just taken out of her sleeve. The soft light dispelled the darkness around her and illuminated the winding corridor in front of her.
On both sides of the corridor are neatly arranged bookshelves that are still as clean as new. However, the ancient books and scrolls are not arranged neatly like the bookshelves in the lobby outside. Instead, they are a bit messy.
There were even a few books that fell to the ground, as if someone wanted to take these ancient books away but didn't have time.
An Shuxue walked by quietly, occasionally squatting down to see the handwriting on the cover of the ancient book. Then she turned back and asked Song Wanbai in a low voice whether she should take the book away.
Song Wanbai was a cautious person. He held a slender dagger in his hand and moved forward slowly, occasionally touching the ground with the tip of the dagger to prevent hidden mechanisms.
Luo Li stood beside a bookshelf. After confirming that there were no traps around, she squatted down and picked up a wooden box.
She stood up, tilted her head as she looked at the wooden box in her hand, then reached out and opened the box.
There was nothing else in the box except a few booklets.
She placed the wooden box on the bookshelf beside her, took out a booklet, and carefully opened the first page.
After seeing the words clearly, he paused slightly, "Parade log?"
Luo Li's voice immediately attracted An Shuxue and Song Wanbai, who stood up and walked over. "What did you find?"
Luo Li shook the booklet in her hand. "It should be the owner's experience of traveling on the mainland. I wonder if there is any information about this place."
"There should be some." The two nodded, lost interest a little, and turned back to classifying ancient books.
Luo Li was a little curious, but...
She patted the booklet and whispered, "It is indeed wrong to rashly read other people's diaries, Senior, I wonder if you would be willing."
After hearing this, An Shuxue turned around and smiled, "A senior who can write a parade log must be a generous person. Besides, we just want to see if there is any information here."
Luo Li nodded, "If there is no information about this place, I won't read it anymore."
After all, it would not be good if other people's privacy was involved.
She patted the booklet and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm the only one reading it."
After saying that, she turned the pages directly to the second page.
Luo Li gently opened the second page of the booklet. The paper was slightly yellow and the edges were slightly rough. It must have been read frequently by someone, and there was a scent of ink and brush.
The light from the night pearl shone through Luo Li's profile, scattering mottled patterns on the paper.
However, there was no diary on the second page. Instead, someone had drawn a picture with ink and a few lines of words written below in vigorous and powerful handwriting.
In the painting, a young man in a green shirt and holding a long sword comes to life on the paper. He stands on the top of a towering mountain, overlooking the rolling sea of clouds, with an unruly and free-spirited look between his brows.
The emotions expressed in the words made Luo Li feel as if she could hear the wind whistling through the valley and feel the unique heroism and loneliness.
Unconsciously, she whispered, "Sword pointed to the heavens, heart toward freedom. This life is not burdened by fame or fortune, but seeks to put an end to all injustice in the world with one sword."
An Shuxue and Song Wanbai looked over at the same time and sighed, "Although I don't know the name of this senior, his state of mind is truly admirable."
Luo Li curled her lips and smiled, "To have such a building in the center of such a large city, this senior must have been a man of both fame and fortune many years ago."
An Shuxue and Song Wanbai were stunned. "That's right."
