Chapter 051: Ancient Books Contain Strange Beasts
After doing all this, Jiuxiao took the three of them away.
Yang Zengyue vaguely heard a sigh.
Like those auspicious beasts.
She glanced back.
The candles had gone out, and in the darkness, the eyes of the auspicious beasts shone brightly.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the center of the wasteland, illuminating the surroundings.
The eyes of the auspicious beast on the stone tablet began to turn strangely.
Then, an extremely complex circular pattern appeared in the middle of the wasteland. The pattern included plants, animals, auspicious clouds, mountains, and rivers, as if it were a map.
Yang Zengyue doesn't recognize this picture.
But she guessed that was the formation that her master had mentioned, and she was about to poke Chen Jiaer on the back to make her look back.
However, the light dimmed and disappeared in an instant.
That pattern is gone too.
Within a second, the wasteland returned to peace.
Despite the strong light, Master, Jiaer and Shi Rongchuan didn't even look back.
They didn't notice.
Yang Zengyue was surprised.
She memorized the pattern firmly in her mind, intending to draw it out when she returned to the ground, and see if there was any record of the formation in the books in Xingyun Temple.
She could sense the powerful force emanating from the pattern; her own strength was nothing compared to this power.
Yang Zengyue suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Although she was the strongest in the end times, that was without knowing the secret of the underground palace of Xingyun Temple.
In the end, no one got all the things of Xingyun Temple, which means that those people did not learn the secret methods of Xingyun Temple.
The master took it away when he left.
Also, the underground palace has not been opened.
Because the person who took the things from Xingyun Temple did not have the things that she and her master had taken when they came in yesterday.
In other words, the master destroyed the key to the underground palace in the end.
On the way back to the ground, Yang Zengyue kept thinking about this question.
What will the world be like in the future? What will Zhongwei become after her death?
What kind of changes will happen to the world after you come back?
Everything suddenly became unknown.
Apart from the fact that the end of the world will definitely come, she is certain that everything else will likely move in a new direction with the opening of the underground palace.
The four of them returned to the ground as quickly as possible. Jiuxiao restored everything to its original position and asked Yang Zengyue to take out the keys to various directions. Then, he handed all the keys to Zengyue.
Jiuxiao said: "This key is only safe in your hands now."
There is a place for hiding things in the moon.
Jiuxiao discovered it.
But he didn't ask.
He knew that his old bones could no longer keep the secret of the underground palace.
Now that those families know that Shi Rongchuan has left Nanyuan, it is estimated that there will be uneasy days to come.
Both he and Sogetsu had to be prepared.
Yang Zengyue took the key solemnly: "Master, don't worry, no one can get the key from me anymore."
Even death comes.
Yang Zengyue always keeps her word.
She now knew very well that the secret of the underground palace would inevitably cause a huge stir.
The Nanyuan families have been eyeing this place for a long time, and they will not let it go.
At present, these families are very powerful and have strong financial resources. If they send people here to rob, there will definitely be a tough battle.
And they can only fight alone.
It is now early July. Jiuxiao estimates in his mind that the second group of people will arrive at Sikunshan in mid-July.
Before that, he had to let Shi Rongchuan return to Nanyuan to find out the situation in Nanyuan.
After returning to the main hall of Xingyun Temple, Shi Rongchuan remained silent. What he had seen in the past two days exceeded his previous understanding of cultivation.
Could it be that these things hidden in the underground palace of Xingyun Temple are really related to the illusory "immortals"?
He still felt it was too outrageous.
Jiuxiao now believes the authenticity of the things Qianyuan left for him.
It was mainly the return of Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer that made him believe that there really was a mysterious power in this world.
This temple, which the Shi family has spent thousands of years guarding, is likely to usher in a new era.
Leaving Rongchuan alone in the room, Jiuxiao went to the room where Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer were resting.
Seeing the master coming, Yang Zengyue opened the box she had brought up.
There are several ancient books in the box that look like they have seen the passage of time.
The ancient books were very well preserved, and Yang Zengyue opened them one by one.
She found that the top one introduced weapons; she guessed that the second one was a martial arts secret book, because it contained moves and gestures, but she couldn't understand it at all; as for the third one, it was an animal atlas, and the animals drawn on it made Yang Zengyue feel as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head, making her feel cold from head to toe.
Jiuxiao noticed that her expression was not right, so he asked her what was wrong.
"Master, Jiaer and I were still fighting with this kind of animals before we woke up." Yang Zengyue pursed his lips tightly, pointing to the picture of one of the animals, his heart beating wildly.
Jiuxiao looked at the animal she was pointing at. Next to it was a line of text they could understand, which indicated the animal's appearance, diet, and strength level.
"Is this the only one?" Jiuxiao frowned, feeling that this world was a little mysterious.
"No, more than that."
Yang Zengyue quickly flipped through the book and found that she and Chen Jiaer had fought against at least hundreds of animals recorded in the book.
Half of the book records ferocious beasts, and the other half are the carvings of auspicious beasts they saw on the stone tablets, incense burners, and pools in the desolate areas of the underground palace.
Judging from the textual description, these auspicious beasts can restrain these ferocious beasts.
But why did Yang Zengyue and his companions never encounter any auspicious beasts in their previous lives?
Since the evil beast appeared, why didn’t the auspicious beast appear?
Yang Zengyue vaguely felt that this was a very important issue.
Furthermore, this book contains not only animals, but also strange plants and some giant insects, but Yang Zengyue had never encountered these in her previous life, otherwise she would have memories of them.
Jiuxiao couldn't figure out the reason behind this. "Put the book away. After you go down the mountain, take some time to memorize all of this."
He planned to make a fake of these things and put it here, hide the real one in another place, and then destroy the entrance to the underground palace and open it when the time was right.
Yang Zengyue nodded: "Yes. Master, in the inheritance left by our ancestors, is there any record of the underground palace in the Guanzhi?"
Yang Zengyue was very confused, as this book about animals seemed to be a prophecy for the future.
Jiuxiao didn't have Guanzhi on him, "Yes, I'll tell you in detail when I get home."
There are two books of records of Xingyun Temple. One is ordinary records, and the other is records that stopped a thousand years ago and have never been updated since then.
He usually wouldn't look at the unupdated Guanzhi because Master Qianyuan told him that it was useless.
Unless the shackles are broken.
He had read it once before, and it was just ordinary records. The front part also mentioned the origin of Xingyun Temple, and some introductions to mountains and rivers. It looked more like a geographical record.
