Cypress Boat Floating

The sky gradually brightened. A scarlet sun broke through the pink clouds and slowly climbed up from the horizon. A red light supported it with all its strength. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves shattered the red light. The tranquility was unaware of the sudden arrival of the horse's hoof, and it still tirelessly performed its duty.

On the road, two horses were carrying two people galloping forward. The sunrise in early summer was so beautiful, but the travelers passing by had no intention of watching it, leaving only this ignorant sun looking at them.

"Master, the territory of Tianshu Hall is not far ahead." The man on the horse behind said as he chased the man in front, his voice slightly tired.

"Speed ​​up." The man in front had bruises all over his eyes, and his eye sockets were full of red veins, but he was unwilling to stop and rest. If Ye Jianqing saw this scene at this time, he would probably only exclaim, this person turned out to be the meticulous Lu Zhixing!

The two continued to move forward in silence.

Sigh...

The two men stopped moving forward, as a high mountain in front blocked their way. Lu Zhixing sat upright on the horse, looking up. The mountain was towering into the clouds, and only some traces of buildings could be vaguely seen at the foot of the mountain. There was no gate blocking the foot of the mountain, and no one was on duty, but there was a stone tablet with the three words "Tianshu Hall" written on it.

"Master, is this Tianshu Hall?" Standing behind Lu Zhixing was Cheng Ran, whom he always kept with him.

This time, Lu Zhixing pretended to be sick and asked for leave to come to Tianshu Hall to inquire about the matter of the shrine. He didn't tell anyone and naturally didn't bring anyone with him. He only brought Cheng Ran with him. The two of them dressed up secretly before coming out.

When the emperor questioned them in the palace that day, the prince's answers always made him feel strange. He suddenly suspected that the prince had something to do with the Shrine. In addition, Lu Ci Qiu came to him that day and said that the Shrine was related to the martial arts world. If he wanted to know everything about the martial arts world, he could only come to Tianshu Hall to know. So he took a leave of absence and disguised himself to come out to investigate.

Tianshu Hall was built at the highest point of Qixing Mountain. It was famous for its mechanical engineering. There were many talented craftsmen in the hall, and each of them was a genius. However, Tianshu Hall had rules. The Yanshi in the hall were not allowed to use the mechanical engineering for evil purposes, and were not allowed to take the mechanisms forged in Tianshu Hall to sell outside without permission.

Everyone knows that Tianshu Hall's mechanical skills are invincible, but they have forgotten one thing, that is, in addition to mechanical skills, Tianshu Hall also used various mechanisms to collect a lot of information for themselves. Although they have not entered the world of martial arts, they know everything about it.

Lu Zhixing knew this, so he rushed from the capital to Lu and went to Tianshu Hall in person to find out the truth.

"Tianshu Hall is built on the top of Qixing Mountain." Lu Zhixing lowered his head and pinched the back of his neck. He had not rested for a whole day and night and had been on the road the whole time. He was really a little tired.

Lu Zhixing got off his horse and walked to the side of the stone tablet. According to what was said in the file, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the word "天" (sky) three times, on the word "竖" (shorthand) five times, and on the word "堂" (hall) once.

"Master, what do you mean?" Cheng Ran was quite curious when he saw Lu Zhixing's actions. Why was he knocking on the stone tablet for no reason? Could there be some secret on this stone tablet?

"You don't understand this. If you want to enter the Tianshu Hall, you need a boy from the Tianshu Hall to lead the way. Otherwise, we can't get up there just by our strength." Lu Zhixing withdrew his hand, stepped back three steps and stood still.

Cheng Ran looked up at the mountain. "Given the height of this mountain, it won't be a problem to walk up for an hour or two."

"This is just what you saw. There are people in Tianshu Hall who are good at using Qimen Dunjia. If you rely on yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to get up until next year. I'm afraid you will get lost in the mountains and starve to death."

As soon as Lu Zhixing finished speaking, the stone tablet suddenly cracked open, and with a bang, it broke into two pieces, revealing a dark passage in the middle.

Just as Cheng Ran was about to look out, he heard a burst of shouting coming from inside. Cheng Ran quickly stood in front of Lu Zhixing and stretched out his hand to block his body to prevent any thieves from doing anything bad to his master.

Lu Zhixing pushed his hand away and pulled him to stand behind him.

A little boy slid out of the stone tablet with a cotton pad under his butt. There was a small ring on both sides of the cotton pad for the user to grab with both hands to avoid falling.

The child grabbed the cotton pad with both hands, and when he was about to fall to the ground, he jumped and stood steadily on the spot. Seeing this, Lu Zhixing had to praise him, "His lower body is very stable."

The stone tablet automatically shrank after the child came out. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice there was a crack in the middle of the stone tablet.

After the little boy stood firm, he jumped and walked in front of Lu Zhixing. Maybe it was because he was too excited when he just slid down, or maybe it was because he hadn't seen a stranger for a long time. His face was flushed due to his excitement, but the little boy didn't care. When he saw Lu Zhixing, he didn't greet him and looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Who is coming?" The child's voice was unexpectedly mature, not as childish as a child.

Lu Zhixing saluted and said hello: "Junior Lu Zhixing, I come to ask Tianshu Hall a question."

Although Cheng Ran didn't know why his master was so respectful to a little boy, he also bowed and greeted him, not daring to slack off.

"Lu Zhixing..." The little boy frowned when he heard the name and circled around Lu Zhixing a few times. Lu Zhixing didn't get angry, but stood up straight and looked at him.

"Why are the people from the Lu family here?"

"I have something to ask." Lu Zhixing had a perfect, impeccable standard smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, the little boy wrinkled his nose and said unhappily, "Your smile is too ugly and fake, stop smiling. Since you want to ask something, have you prepared anything?"

"Yes." Lu Zhixing took out a book wrapped in cloth from his luggage and presented it to the little boy. "I heard that Tianshu Hall has been looking for this unique book, and I just happened to collect it by chance. If Tianshu Hall can give me what I want to know, then this unique book will belong to Tianshu Hall."

The little boy watched Lu Zhixing carefully lift the cloth layer by layer, and inside lay a rare book. This rare book was the "Ultimate Book of Magic" that he had been searching for for a long time in Tianshu Hall. The little boy was ecstatic, and just when he was about to reach out and take the rare book in his hands, the rare book was taken away in front of him.

"Senior, what I just said..." Lu Zhixing took the unique copy back and looked at the little boy in embarrassment.

Seeing the unique copy he had been looking for was right in front of him, but he couldn't touch it, the little boy was heartbroken. His face showed a variety of expressions, sometimes embarrassed, sometimes heartbroken, and sometimes looking at Lu Zhixing cruelly.

Lu Zhixing put away the solitary copy and stood there looking at the undisguised expression on the boy's face. He could even see from the boy's eyes that he wanted to kill and rob, but he knew that this man would not do that. On the one hand, the other party knew his identity, and on the other hand, the rules of Tianshu Hall would not let him do that.

Moreover, they just wanted a piece of information, so there was no loss for them. By exchanging such a rare book for a piece of information, Tianshu Hall could be said to have made a profit.

"How do I know whether your rare copy is real or fake?" The little boy grinned at Lu Zhixing.

"You can believe it or not, senior, but there is only one copy of this rare book in the world. It's just a piece of news. If you want to check, I have plenty of ways to do it, but this rare book will never appear in front of you again." Lu Zhixing said with a hint of harshness.

The people of Tianshu Hall have always been reluctant to let others know that they have news about people in the martial arts world. They only trade in mechas, but never in news.

After all, they were still worried that if they let others know what kind of information they had, the people in the martial arts world would gather together to attack them. After all, no one wanted their secrets to be known by others.

"How do you know this password? How do you know that the information you want is here?" The little boy glanced at him and ran to sit on the stone tablet angrily. His main idea was to keep a distance from Lu Zhixing and not get too close to people with this kind of heart.

"Senior, do you think this is a suitable place to talk?" Lu Zhixing looked around. Although this was the territory of Tianshu Hall and few people would watch here, the question he wanted to ask was very important. He felt a little uneasy saying it here.

The little boy looked behind him. He naturally knew this truth. He jumped down from the stone tablet impatiently, left a word "Follow me in", and turned to walk up the mountain.

The two men followed the little boy up the mountain, but the little boy was cautious and didn't care whether the two men could keep up with him. He turned around and walked to another place, and stopped at a pavilion.

"It's very convenient to talk here. Tell me what you want to ask and how do you know it." The little boy sat on the stone chair in the pavilion.

"My master is Ye Honghai, the famous god of war today. General Ye had dealings with Tianshu Hall when he was young. He told me that it was he who taught me the code." Lu Zhixing told me everything without hiding anything.

"You are General Ye's apprentice? How come I didn't know?" Upon hearing Ye Honghai's name, the boy who was originally nonchalant suddenly became serious.

“It has never been mentioned to anyone.”

"General Ye was kind to our Tianshu Hall when he was young. We promised that if General Ye encounters trouble in the future, we will repay the favor. Now that you are his disciple, it is reasonable for you to come to our Tianshu Hall. Okay, then what news are you looking for?" The little fairy changed her tone and said, "But let's make it clear first, your unique copy must also belong to me."

"Of course." Lu Zhixing said as he took out the unique copy and handed it to Tianshu Tang. Now that he had received the promise from Tianshu Tang, there was no need for him to use the unique copy to threaten the other party.

"What I want to investigate is the God's House."
