As the voice fell, the murals and reliefs in the room began to shake violently. Lu Zhaozhao looked around and saw that the strange beasts on the wall began to wriggle, as if they were trying to break through the wall's confinement and rush towards her.

Will these things rush out? If they really rush out, can I deal with so many strange beasts?

For a moment, countless thoughts emerged in her mind.

The wall was shaking more and more violently, and it looked like the thing inside was about to come out. Lu Zhaozhao summoned Niye and was about to draw her sword when she accidentally glanced at a shadow under the long lamp at the innermost part and stopped.

Is it dark under the lamp?

She pretended to be on the defensive and gradually approached the shadow. Niye extended his sword a foot from the scabbard, and the cold light shone on her face, reflecting her tense expression.

When the distance was less than ten feet, the shadow suddenly shook.

It was discovered!

Without time to think, Lu Zhaozhao made a quick decision and drew his sword to stab.

Niye was once the sword used by the ancestor of the Jiangning Lu family who had achieved enlightenment. When the sword was unsheathed, the blade shone and could not be detected in the dark. It was a deadly weapon. For more than a hundred years, only the original owner, Lu Zhaozhao, had wielded this sword.

While reading the book, Lu Zhaozhao once complained that this sword is invisible in the dark, but dazzling in the light. When the sword is drawn, the edge is sharp and can kill people with one blow. Isn't it just like this vicious female supporting role!

But when she actually picked up the sword, she realized how sharp it was.

In a moment, the tip of the sword, with a sharp sword energy, pointed to that corner.

A black shadow rolled out at an extremely fast speed, and the sword energy instantly split the long lamp behind him into two sections.

Without the concealing shadow of the long lamp, the dark shadow revealed its true appearance.

It's a young man.

Lu Zhaozhao pointed his sword at him and looked him up and down.

The light and shadow danced, casting a shadow on his face. His eyebrows were long and willow-like, and his eyes were bright, just like a jade mountain shining on people. However, his lips were pale, and his face had a faint color of illness, a sickly white.

However, no matter how Lu Zhaozhao used his spiritual sense to check, he could not sense any cultivation from this person.

Is he just a mortal?

Lu Zhaozhao suddenly remembered the sentence mentioned briefly in the book: "A young man in the city got this opportunity and built his foundation in one step." Could it be referring to the person in front of him?

She was a little unsure, but she didn't dare to put away her sword easily.

When the stalemate reached a critical juncture, the man suddenly covered his mouth with his fist and started coughing violently.

After a long time, he finally caught his breath and slowly looked up at Lu Zhaozhao.

"Don't worry, fairy. I'm just a mortal and can't hurt you."

Like the sound of a ringing pendant, it is a very pleasant sound.

But Lu Zhaozhao still held the sword, and said coldly: "A mere mortal? I don't believe it. You were able to break through the maze in the forest, and you were able to conceal your presence here, and even I didn't notice it for a moment. This is not something a mere mortal can do. And these shaking murals and reliefs are also your work, right?"

Lu Zhaozhao pointed it out directly, and he didn't feel guilty at all. He waved his hands a few times, and the relief actually stopped. This made Lu Zhaozhao more alert.

The boy opposite tilted his head, somewhat puzzled: "I've already made them all stop."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Zhaozhao quietly.

Lu Zhaozhao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. She paused, put down the sword, but did not put it back into the scabbard.

"How did you get in?" The maze outside showed no signs of being damaged, and she didn't understand how this person got in.

"Come in? Where to?" The young man looked at Lu Zhaozhao with a puzzled look.

An absurd thought emerged in Lu Zhaozhao's mind. She asked uncertainly, "Are you the person in the painting on the jade steps in front?"

But the boy just shook his head.

"Then who are you?" Lu Zhaozhao was a little curious.

"I don't know. I've been here since I opened my eyes." The young man spoke with a puzzled look on his face. As he spoke, he took out a wooden sign with some symbolic something engraved on it.

Lu Zhaozhao took it and listened as he continued, "They said the two characters are Wen Sheng. Since this thing is hanging on my body, it should be my name! They also said..."

"Wait!" Lu Zhaozhao interrupted him, "Who are they?"

"They are them. Didn't you see them just now?" Wen Sheng replied. He didn't understand why this person in front of him, who was as beautiful as a fairy, always asked strange questions and said strange words, just like now, she was staring at them in a daze again.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, a thousand horses were running through Lu Zhaozhao's heart.

"Damn, what did he just say? He communicated with the mural! Is there such a person in the book?" Lu Zhaozhao was a little overwhelmed. Ever since she transmigrated into the book, she pretended to be calm every day. That was because she had read the book and knew the plot. But it was less than a month, how could a bug outside the plot appear?

She took two deep breaths and encouraged herself in her heart: "It's okay, it's okay. Maybe he will stay here forever just like what is written in the book. This is not a bug."

The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Her eyes gradually became firmer, and she resolutely turned around to face the boy who was not described in detail in the book.

"Um, my name is Lu Zhaozhao, nice to meet you." After saying that, she extended her hand towards him.

The young man was bewildered by her sudden action. At her signal, he reached out his hand in confusion.

Lu Zhaozhao grabbed it.

Looking closely, he actually looks very much in line with Lu Zhaozhao's aesthetic. The boy has a clear mind, is not aggressive at all, and his eyes are full of curiosity about the things in the world.

With a sudden thought, Lu Zhaozhao asked, "Have you been staying here all this time and never gone out?"

The young man nodded and continued in a clear voice, "I can't push the door open, but many people have opened it from the outside like you. But as soon as they come in, they attack them. They say everyone is mean, but you're different. You don't attack them, and you're beautiful, just like the fairies in the storybooks they talk about."

Lu Zhaozhao was amused by his words. If these words were said by someone else, she might think they were contrived, but the young man in front of her looked almost the same as her, with sincerity in his eyes, which only made her feel amused.

Lu Zhaozhao then asked: "What about those people who came in before?"

"They brought me into the painting!" Wen Sheng said casually.

Lu Zhaozhao hid her smile, and looked at the mural with a bit more awe and worry in her eyes. She pointed at the platform in the distance and asked, "What's in there?"

Wen Sheng looked in the direction she pointed, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. "They said it was a terrible thing, and that a madman covered in blood had put it there."

A madman covered in blood?

Lu Zhaozhao immediately understood.

The owner of this place was once damaged by the inner demon, and although he found a way to suppress it, it seems to have failed. The secret book is probably in that box.

Lu Zhaozhao walked forward again and reached out to take it, but was stopped by Wen Sheng.

"What are you going to do?" Wen Sheng hurriedly stopped him.

Lu Zhaozhao's hands kept moving, "It's just what you see."

Wen Sheng got anxious and yelled, "I won't let you touch me!"

After saying that, he reached out to grab Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao easily shook off his hand and reached straight for the box. Wen Sheng couldn't stop her and also tried to grab the box.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaozhao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and deliberately paused for a moment before touching the box. Wen Sheng quickly took out the box and ran away quickly.

But before he could run two steps, he realized that the thing in his hand was gone. He turned around and saw Lu Zhaozhao looking at the box with a playful look on his face. He looked up and smiled at him: "Thank you for helping me take it out."
