Chapter 389 Tower
Qingfeng wasn't quite clear about the matter either: "I don't know the specifics of what happened. I only remember Mingqing scolding Afeng's father for being stingy, for taking back things he gave away. Afeng retorted that the book wasn't given away by her father, but that Mingqing's father had taken it by mistake."
At this point, she smiled helplessly, "We were young then, and the two of us had our own versions of events, neither willing to back down, and we almost got into a fight. Later, both sets of parents got involved, and we still don't know who ended up with the book."
Meng Qingyin asked curiously, "What book is it that's worth them fighting over?"
Qingfeng shook his head: "I don't know either, but it should be a very interesting book, right?"
"Why do you say that?" Meng Qingyin asked.
“Because A-Feng is also very interested in that book,” Qingfeng explained with a smile, “and she’s the kind of person who gets sleepy as soon as she sees a book. If even she’s interested in that book, it must be a very interesting one.”
Meng Qingyin had a sudden thought, deciding to ask Qin Feng what kind of book it was when dawn broke.
If possible, perhaps we can find that book, which might evoke some warm memories of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Qingfeng continued speaking.
Children are temperamental and forgetful.
The two later reconciled, putting the matter behind them, and became inseparable.
Actually, back then Qin Feng and Ming Qing were closer, and she didn't know Ming Qing as well as Qin Feng did.
"Perhaps you can ask Afeng tomorrow. She knows more about the Ming and Qing dynasties than I do, and she might be able to give you some inspiration," Qingfeng said with some regret.
"It's alright, you've already helped me a lot," Meng Qingyin said. "It's getting late, you should go and get some rest too."
Qingfeng stood up: "Master, you should rest early too. Good night."
...
The first thing Meng Qingyin did after waking up the next morning was to send a message to Qin Feng, asking about the story of that book.
Qin Feng: "What book?"
Mengmeng: "It's that book that sparked your childhood war with the Ming and Qing dynasties."
Qin Feng: "...Qingfeng even told you this? Actually, it's nothing. I was too young and ignorant back then."
Mengmeng: "So what is that book? Who has it now?"
Qin Feng: "It was burned down long ago."
Meng Qingyin was startled and quickly asked what had happened.
Qin Feng: "It's quite a coincidence. After my father got that book back, one day he accidentally started a fire while cooking. Although the fire was quickly extinguished, the study, which was closest to the kitchen, was also affected. That book was burned. Just that one book was burned. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Meng Qingyin lowered her eyes. Was it really a coincidence?
Why were all the other books fine, but that one was burned?
Logically speaking, once a fire starts, flammable materials like books should be burned in a very short time.
But only one book was burned?
This matter is too strange.
Mengmeng: "Do you still remember the name and contents of that book?"
Qin Feng: "How would I remember that? I just flipped through it casually, and my dad saw it and scolded me with a dark face. I can't remember the contents at all, but I do remember the name of the book very well: 'The Tower'."
tower?
Meng Qingyin immediately thought of the Tower of Babel.
Is the content of that book related to the Tower of Babel?
Unfortunately, the book has now been burned, and the person who read it has passed away.
She has no way of knowing the contents of the book anymore.
No! Meng Qingyin thought of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Ming and Qing dynasty people must have read this book too!
How much did she watch?
Where did this book come from?
Perhaps, that book is the key.
Mengmeng: "Could you tell me in more detail what happened back then? About this book."
Qin Feng noticed Meng Qingyin's interest in the book and asked, "What's wrong with the book? What are your thoughts?"
Mengmeng: "I suspect that book is the clue that connects your father to the Ming and Qing dynasties."
Qin Feng's father, Qin Zheng, once asked his master to help him forge the Three-Pointed Blade, and even swore that there would be alien life in the future, and the Demon Tower would be the key to survival, as if he had really seen that day come.
But how did he find out?
Then there's Ming and Qing, who are obsessed with clearing the tower, possibly to retrieve the three-pointed sword that Qin Zheng left behind in the tower.
What was her purpose in taking the three-pointed knife?
All of this may be related to the book called "The Tower".
That's why she wanted to learn more about the details of the book.
Qin Feng tried hard to recall and actually remembered something: "Right, this book was brought back by my dad and the others when they went out. He looked a little off the day they came back. But I was still very young then and I didn't notice his unusual behavior."
Meng Qingyin pressed further: "What exactly is wrong?"
Qin Feng: "I can't really explain it. It was like he was in despair. That day, he hugged me and my mother and cried. He cried very sadly. But he returned to normal the next day. When he found out that Uncle Ming had accidentally taken the book, he went to get it back."
Qin Feng: "Why was he crying? And why was he so desperate?"
Meng Qingyin thought for a moment and had a guess in her mind: "Perhaps he saw a terrible scene in the book, and the key to change things is the Three-Pointed Blade, but because the Three-Pointed Blade has absorbed a lot of demonic energy, anyone who comes into contact with it..."
That would probably be a dead end.
Perhaps Qin Feng's father wanted to save everyone, but in the end, he still died from demonic energy.
Qin Feng: "Then what about Ming Qing? Why did she take the three-pointed knife? Could it be that her goal is the same as my father's, to save everyone? But if she really had such a goal, why didn't she tell us in the first place?"
Mengmeng: "I think you should ask the Ming and Qing dynasties about this."
No one knows what the Ming and Qing dynasties were really thinking.
Qin Feng: "Tonight I'll go with you guys to guard outside the Demon Tower. I'm going to get to the bottom of this today."
Meng Qingyin replied with "okay," and their chat ended there.
Nobody was in the mood to grind the tower today, so Meng Qingyin practiced her sword skills in the car.
As darkness fell, the group arrived at the entrance of the Tower of Babel.
Before long, the girl in the black robe appeared.
As planned, Lu Cheng, Zhang Yan, Tang Mian, and the elderly man acted as the vanguard, surrounding the group. Meng Qingyin, Chen Leying, and Qin Jiu seized the three-pointed knife from different directions.
Fei Qiu applied a buff to them.
The moment Lu Cheng and the other three surrounded them, Meng Qingyin seized the opportunity to unleash [Swift as the Wind], rushing towards the Three-Pointed Blade like the wind.
But the girl in black didn't move at all this time. Lu Lucheng and the other three who were at the forefront were thrown backwards at a distance of three meters from her.
The first four to attack failed, and Meng Qingyin and the other two, having lost their cover, were unsurprisingly knocked away.
They thought they could take advantage of the lull in the Ming and Qing forces' attack on the vanguard to seize back the Three-Pointed Swords.
Unexpectedly, the Ming and Qing dynasties disrupted their plans without them having to lift a finger.
"If there's a next time, I won't show any mercy."
Leaving behind these words, the girl in black robes walked into the magic tower.
