"Is this Hanlin Hall?"

"Senior Sister He, do you recognize these words?"

Senior Sister He explained that she grew up in a family that was devoted to literature and had devoted her entire lives to studying events from ancient times, so she felt somewhat familiar with these three words.

"Ancient times?"

This was not the first time Yun Changan had heard this word. When he first met the Red Fire Lion, Senior Sister He mentioned it to him.

Senior Sister He glanced at Yun Changan and said, "That's right. People called the period from 1.6 million to 800,000 years ago the ancient times. Many things in that period were different from the period we are in now, including the writing."

This Hanlin Hall was set up in every city at that time. It was specifically responsible for recording major events happening in the world at that time, as well as special events happening in the city.

So, Yun Chang'an and the eldest senior brother pushed open the stone door of the secret passage together, and everyone walked in together.

“This is a study.”

What catches the eye are many bookshelves, on which are stored books woven with Li bamboo, one roll after another is placed on the bookshelves. In the middle there is a wooden table, which is dark brown in color, with many small knives and a bamboo book on it. The small knife should be used for carving on the bamboo book. A half-unfolded bamboo book is placed on the wooden table.

Yun Chang'an followed his gaze and saw the last word on the bamboo book. Only half of the word was engraved and then there was nothing more.

Senior Sister He sat cross-legged on the chair, looking at the bamboo book for a long time, then stood up with a heavy heart.

"Senior Sister He, what's going on? What does it say?"

Senior Sister He calmed down and said, "This was recorded by a great Hanlin monk named Mo Qianbo before the city was destroyed."

The book says that in the winter of the 114,612th year of the Liuqing Ancient Emperor calendar, Emperor Liuqing entered his last years, and his imperial power was not prominent. The ancient evil forces outside the realm were strong and wanted to break through the realm and attack it. This Hualiang City is located on the edge of this realm and belongs to the border area. If the realm is broken, it must be attacked first. In the 113,327th year, the ancient emperor called on all the cultivators in the Qingyuan Realm to go to the 11 border cities to defend the border and resist the ancient evil forces outside the realm. However, millions of cultivators in the Qingyuan Realm responded to the call of Emperor Liuqing and went to these 11 cities, and there were more than 400,000 cultivators in Hualiang City.

In the 114,027th year, the boundary wall was broken, and a large number of ancient evil forces poured into Liuqing Realm. The eleven border cities fought hard for hundreds of years.

In the 114,607th year, Hualiang City suffered countless casualties. According to calculations, seven out of ten people in the city were killed or injured. With the number of people dwindling, they wanted to ask for reinforcements from the ten cities, but failed. The ancient evil forces had more than one million people and wanted to launch an attack on the city. At that time, there were more than 200,000 monks in the city, who were determined to live and die with Hualiang City.

In the spring of the 114,612th year, after more than a hundred unsuccessful sieges, the ancient evil forces formed a force of more than 700,000 people and attempted to besiege and capture Hualiang. However, at this time, the city had run out of supplies, many people were injured, and their combat power was extremely insufficient.

In the early winter of the 114,612th year, the northern city gate had been breached, more than half of the people were killed or wounded, and they were no longer able to resist...

"Then?"

Senior Sister He stopped talking abruptly, and Yun Changan asked next.

There is no record after that. It is possible that Mo Qianbo also went to the battlefield and died in the battle.

Yun Chang'an and others felt very heavy when they heard what Senior Sister He said. It turned out that such a tragic thing happened hundreds of thousands of years ago.

After a long time, everyone calmed down. The most important thing at the moment was how to deal with the anaconda.

Yun Chang'an wondered in his heart whether the war in heaven that Fairy Shichen mentioned was related to this, but he didn't dare to ask. Many people nowadays didn't know about these things. If he asked about them, he would definitely expose some of his own secrets.

"We've fought against this anaconda before. It should be dominated by water energy, and can spit out cold air from its mouth." The eldest brother analyzed the anaconda, but he didn't know why the anaconda was chasing him relentlessly.

At this time, Yun Chang'an turned his head to indicate that he didn't know, but he felt a little guilty in his heart.

Since you caused it yourself, you must solve it yourself.

"How about this, I'll lead him away, and you guys take the opportunity to escape from here."

No.

No.

Don't be stupid.

As soon as Yun Chang'an said this, three voices sounded at the same time, rejecting his proposal together.

Afterwards, Yun Changan explained, "The reason why this anaconda is chasing them is because I took its eggs away. Now that I have these dozen eggs in my hands, it will definitely chase me, so I came up with this plan."

"You can't throw your life away here."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister He, I have a way to escape from that anaconda. If we don't lure him away, the four of us will die here."

"That's too dangerous."

After repeated stalemates, Yun Changan finally convinced his senior brother and senior sister He, and they finally agreed to Yun Changan's idea.

"I'm with you."

Lin Yuaner spoke at this time.

"No, it's too dangerous for me to attract the anaconda. You can't follow me. It's safer to follow Senior Brother Gu Jin."

Lin Yuan'er and Yun Chang'an were in a stalemate, neither of them willing to give in. Senior Sister He stepped forward and persuaded, "Trust Junior Brother. He will never do anything he is not sure of."

Seeing Senior Sister He's affirmative look, Lin Yuan'er relaxed and let him lead the boa constrictor away by himself.

Then he took out the talisman given to him by the head master from the storage ring and handed it to Yun Changan. After taking the talisman from Lin Yuaner, he thanked her.

He packed up his things, said goodbye to everyone, and then left the secret room alone. He walked carefully in the dark passage with a torch in hand. After a while, he reached the exit of the secret room.

Yun Chang'an leaned over the stone and listened to the sounds outside. After a while, Yun Chang'an did not hear any movement outside. He took a deep breath, made up his mind, pushed open the stone door, looked around, and found no trace of the boa constrictor.
