Mo Qingcheng

Chapter 29 Spring and Autumn in the Cabinet

Lu Xiaonian hugged Hua Moyi who had passed out, hesitated a little, and entered the Huajing Pavilion.

Behind the door of Huajing Pavilion is a straight and long corridor that leads to nowhere. On both sides of the corridor, there are neatly lined up one after another rooms, unguarded, and some rooms have their doors ajar. The old bookshelves are full of books that no one cares about.

The door closed the moment he entered, and the corridor was lit with incense lamps for the first time.There was no one in the pavilion, only the smell of sesame oil and the faint sound of lamps peeling off in the air.

There is silence all around, all outside sounds are isolated by the door, and there is no noise.

If it wasn't for Hua Moyi still leaning in his arms faintly, Lu Xiaonian would almost suspect that he was buried alive in a thousand-year-old tomb.

It's too quiet here, so quiet that people can't feel empty in their hearts.

"Hmm..." The man in his arms woke up faintly, turned his head to look around the empty corridor, his eyes were blank, "Where is this?"

Lu Xiaonian held Hua Moyi's waist with both hands, and the two pressed together in a very intimate posture.The voice he answered with his head bowed lingered in Hua Moyi's ears: "Inside Huajing Pavilion."

"How did Huajing Pavilion become like this?" Hua Moyi was startled. Although he was absent-minded every time he came, but what is certain is that apart from the ancient path in front of the door, there is a mystery. In addition to preventing people from outside the royal family from invading, there is a large and quiet bookstore directly behind the door of Huajing Pavilion, where you can see books stacked everywhere and you can take it at your fingertips. Unlike what you see today, it has turned into a corridor and rooms arranged left and right.

The quaint Zangshu Pavilion now feels like a gloomy and empty cemetery.

"Did I go wrong?" Lu Xiaonian asked.

Hua Moyi's ears were itchy, and the cultivator's breath brushed against his cheeks, warm and soft, Hua Moyi couldn't help but want to raise his hand to rub his ears. "Don't talk into my son's ear..." He turned his face away a little, but he still didn't consciously lean into Lu Xiaonian's arms comfortably.

The situation in Huajing Pavilion is a bit weird, it's not suitable to be distracted in this situation, but the corners of Lu Xiaonian's mouth still curled up in a triumphant arc. ──So, the ear is the sensitive area of ​​this person?

Hua Moyi rubbed her cheeks, and continued to mutter: "My son has always had a strong sense of direction, and it is impossible to go the wrong way. Probably after coming back last time, Huajing Pavilion has undergone some expansion... Qianqiu is also different from me Just say it. It’s a little troublesome to find information now, and I don’t know how the books are classified into categories.”

Lu Xiaonian pointed to a room on the right that was ten feet away from the two of them. The doorplate of the room clearly read "Before the Era of the Flower Demon", and the doorplate of the room that was symmetrical to this room read "The King of the Era of the Flower Demon". Next to it, there are house numbers such as "The Second Generation Monarch of the Flower Demon Era", "The Unofficial History of Foreign Races", "The Empire's Conquest Book", "Flower Spirit Cultivation Special Room".

"Look, the classification is clearly done."

The Second Highness's eyes widened, he touched his nose resentfully, and coughed twice: "... Well, since you know the internal structure, hurry up and find the books you want. Let me tell you first, the books here It's full of dust, don't expect me to find it for you. I get a headache when I see books."

After talking, she realized that she was still in Lu Xiaonian's arms, Hua Moyi said angrily, "What are you doing with me, since they're all in here."

"Didn't you say that you would hold your hand all the time and never leave your side?"

"That's outside the pavilion." Hua Moyi tried to push him away, but just now all of her monster energy was used to protect Lu Xiaonian from being eroded by the monster power of the ancient path, her feet were still weak, and naturally her hands couldn't use much strength .

Lu Xiaonian held onto his hand and said, "There is always something wrong with this bookstore, you stay with me just in case."

"You are not a child who has not been weaned!"

The two chattered for a long time, Hua Moyi was exhausted, and Lu Xiaonian was stubborn and refused to let go. No matter what, he couldn't get rid of the position of interlocking fingers with Lu Xiaonian.In the end, he had no choice but to stomp his feet and grit his teeth, and was reluctantly dragged by Lu Xiaonian into the study room where "Flower Demon Era" was written.

The cultivator entered the room and looked at the books one by one on the bookshelf. With his fingertips condensed, the books flew up from mid-air and lined up, flipping through countless pages in front of his eyes.Lu Xiaonian browsed through one book at the speed of light and then changed another. In just one stick of incense, he browsed through most of the books on the shelf, and the room was also filled with dust from the pages of the book.

Hua Moyi held one hand in Lu Xiaonian's palm and couldn't escape, and he cared about his beautiful clothes, trying to avoid the book dust by dodging left and right.Reluctantly, the whole room was enveloped in the sound of rapidly turning pages and rustling dust, and he couldn't avoid it. After a while, a thin layer of dust drifted on his ice-blue long hair.

"Smelly Lu Xiaonian, bastard Lu Xiaonian, I really did something wrong with good intentions──cough cough, cough cough──can you stop being so barbaric, cough──"

"I'm sorry, I'm also thinking about the safety of both of us." After Lu Xiaonian finished speaking, he dodged into another room, naturally he didn't forget to grab Hua Moyi.

The second palace stumbled and followed him into the door, and the moment he entered the door, he was stunned: "Ah, Lu Xiaonian, can you stop being so impatient when you read a book!!!"

***************

When Hua Moyi was dragged into the tenth room, he didn't complain anymore. Anyway, he is now covered in dust all over his body, no matter how bad it is, it can't be that bad.His Highness the Second Highness squatted in the corner in despair, his palm was still tightly held by the other person who was concentrating on reading, and he never thought about struggling again.

He thought about his beautiful face, if he went out of Huajing Pavilion with this disheveled appearance, he might not even recognize him with his elder brother and Qianqiu, so he might as well stop losing that embarrassment.

Poor him, Hua Moyi, who was so suave in his first life, would fall into the hands of this little boy; the dignified second prince of the empire, who actually accompanied him in the pile of old antique books that hadn't been read in a long time, and hadn't seen the sun in a long time! !

So boring──he wants to sleep──

"Heh..." He yawned halfway, and quickly covered his mouth, a lot of dust and dust that spilled into his mouth was bitter and astringent.

Hua Moyi, who has always been the most concerned about tidiness and cleanliness, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped up, "Little boy, just read the book, can you stop the dust from dancing in the sky? Do you know that there is enough dust on Bengong's body?" Is it time to fertilize the flowers in Huawu Palace? If you continue to make trouble like this, don't blame Bengong for turning his face."

Lu Xiaonian ignored him, the tip of his index finger was shining white, and a book that was originally floating in mid-air slowly fell into his palm.This time, Lu Xiaonian did not skim through the book at a superficial speed, but let go of Hua Moyi's hand, and focused on flipping through the book while holding it.

Hua Moyi became curious, and followed to read the book, but she couldn't hold back anymore after reading it.The old gray-yellow book was obviously very old, and the strings that bound the book had all fallen off, leaving only one or two stumps to keep the book from falling apart.

It's fine if it's dirty, old and worn out, but the problem is that the book is full of strangely shaped words, and I flip through the whole book from the beginning to the end, but I don't know a single word; and Lu Xiaonian is actually concentrating on reading it, Hua Moyi is next to him "" Hey" several times, but did not disturb the cultivator from the book.

Is this a text, a picture, or some ghostly symbol?

Hua Moyi tried hard to tell the difference for a long time but couldn't tell the difference, so she gave up unwillingly, and explained to him after the little boy finished reading.Looking at Lu Xiaonian's appearance, he obviously recognized those crooked handwriting, ─ ─ hmph, I can't tell that he has a handsome and playful face, and is quite knowledgeable.Do people who practice Buddhism even have some research on foreign languages?

Now that Lu Xiaonian had let go of Hua Moyi's hand, Hua Moyi felt at ease, shook off her sore palms, moved her arms, and thought about whether she should simply slip out of the room and leave Lu Xiaonian alone .

After taking two steps, he felt that something was wrong. Just now, the backlash against Lu Xiaonian's Buddhist aura on the ancient path was surprisingly strong, causing him to consume all his demon power to protect him; He came here for the characteristics of outsiders and Buddha spirit, if he stayed away from him, he might not be able to return in time.

Thinking of this, Hua Moyi took back the steps she had just taken.He said to himself that good deeds would be done to the end and send Buddha to the west, Hua Moyi is not a man without responsibility.

Turning his eyes around, he randomly picked a book that looked brand new, at least not so much smelly and dusty, and opened it slowly.

In that room, Lu Xiaonian finally finished reading the ancient book full of flowers that Mo Yi couldn't understand word by word. He was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.This book is not so much a book as it is an ancient history written for another clan, and the writer is naturally a historian of that clan.

According to this ancient history, 2000 years ago, the dignitaries of the clan had intermarried with the flower demon royal family known as the head of a hundred flowers. The demon royal family struggles for power, and the lineage that is the descendant of the flower demon royal family has always kept a low profile and does not want to publicize the relationship between the two parties.However, the news that there were royal blood mixed among the foreigners spread to the territory of the Flower Demon Kingdom for some reason, which aroused the murderous intent of the incumbent at that time, driving the army to attack repeatedly, and the clan was disturbed by this matter.

In order to quell the war, or because of the selfishness of the leader of the clan at that time, that line was deliberately guided by the entire clan to be regarded as an ominous person.One day, the leader of the clan and the flower demon soldiers cooperated internally and externally, and wiped out a total of more than one hundred people from that bloodline, calling it the "cleaning up alien races, purifying bloodlines" operation.

The last chapter of the annals of history is lost and lost, without explaining whether the relationship between the clan and the Flower Demon Kingdom has improved after that action.But on the title page of the book, there is a line of words so small that it is almost illegible, it is a common language, and it makes a coffin conclusion for the alien race recorded in this history book.

"Cowardly and fearful of death, betraying the clansmen, keeping them useless."

Thinking about it, there should be no good results.

──Is this ancient history related to Bi Ran?Or, Bi Ran's experience is similar to what is recorded in this history book?

Contemplating putting the book back on the top of the shelf, Lu Xiaonian speculated about the possibility that Hua Qianqiu also knew these foreign languages, and that she had asked Bi Ran for verification.But he was thinking hard here alone, and it would be futile without the person to confront him, so he had to suppress his suspense for the time being, and search for the records of the Lingshan Lich first.

"Hua Moyi, let's change the room and continue to check..." Turning around while talking, I saw Hua Moyi holding a book, the Second Highness looked weird, biting his lip, looking at him from above the page , face red like a newly opened peony.

"..." Is there anything on my face.

"Lu Xiaonian, how do you transform the Buddha's aura and the demonic aura in your body?" Hua Moyi uttered this sentence from the back of the page in a daze.

"How to transform?" Lu Xiaonian, the second monk, was puzzled and didn't know why he suddenly brought up such a topic, but seeing the seriousness of the person, he had to answer truthfully, "Of course, through the practice method taught by Master himself, it will fill the whole body day after day slowly transforms into Buddha Qi."

"Using this method, how long will it take to completely fade away the evil spirit?"

"Master never predicted... He only said that if you work hard and have good luck, you will one day get rid of the conflict between the Buddha and the demon." What book is Hua Moyi reading?Why did Hua Moyi take a glance at the book every time he answered a sentence?

"Last time when you were in the corridor of the Flower Dance Palace, you lost your normal state and were in great pain. It was all due to the imbalance of the true energy of the Buddha and the demon, and the countercurrent conflict in the body. Although the method taught by your master is the right way, it is time-consuming. The days are too long, if you neglect your homework for a few days, if you are not careful, you will be in danger of going crazy."

"Well, it's..." Lu Xiaonian was surprised by Hua Moyi's familiar tone. He moved closer to him, trying to read the contents of the book in his hand, but Hua Moyi blushed and turned his hand to hide the book inside. into his arms.

Hua Moyi turned her head away from meeting his gaze, blushed slightly, and said haha: "It's getting late, it's better to check everything you want earlier, don't delay."
