Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 246: Blood-stained Book Pavilion
Youzhou, Luo Family Mansion.
The gate of Cangshu Pavilion was pushed open with a bang, and the second prince Ning Qianshi stepped over the threshold and led the crowd into this hall known as the treasure of the Luo family.
Above him is a three-story loft. The winding staircase rises gradually along the wall, with a patio in the center, leading to the seventh floor underground. Lifting your head slightly, you can see rows of towering bookshelves, "blooming" around the patio. In order to avoid fire, there is no candle in the wooden building. The house is supported by beams and columns. Various windows are opened on all sides to ensure that the outside light can shine into the attic without any obstruction.
But this is not the most commendable place.
Around the upper patio, there are still many bright bronze mirrors—they throw part of the light inside the building into the ground, making the corridor on the bottom seven floors also faintly discernible.
When anyone enters the library for the first time, they will have the illusion of being in a huge chimney, and at the same time will be amazed by the ingenious design.
Ning Qianshi is not the first time to come to this place.
But even if he came again a hundred times, he still felt that the scene in front of him was a wonderful sight.
It's a pity that the tranquility here today will be slightly broken.
"Bring people in."
"Here."
The guards pushed a few people with five big ties into the house, and escorted them to kneel behind the second prince.
"This is not only the treasure of the Luo family, but also the treasure of my Daqi. To be honest, I don't want to be rough here." Ning Qianshi sighed, "But the magic that the Luo family got from Taizu Ning is still It has to be accepted by the Privy Council. This is your last chance, hand it over, I can let you make a living."
He turned and looked at the bound person—the other party was Luo Heng, the current owner of the Luo family, and several main managers. Without exception, they are all ordinary people who can't be angry, and they can sit in the position of the head of the house purely by blood.
At Ning Qianshi's gesture, the guards pulled out the strips of cloth from their mouths.
"Cough cough, cough--" Luo Heng coughed violently. He was over 60 years old, and this was the first such insult. After finally calming his breath, he looked at the man next to the second prince angrily, "Luo Wuji, I treat you very well, why do you want to help outsiders deal with the Luo family!?"
Luo Wuji tilted his head slightly and did not answer.
"I'll answer for him." Ning Qianshi squatted down in front of him, "The family divided the world's sensationalists into six and took them as their own. This has hindered the prospects and spells of the alchemist. Progress. In order to break this separation, the aristocratic family must die. What's more, there are many people like you who cling to the agitated and enjoy the great benefits they bring... Honestly speaking, to the children taken by the Luo family In terms of it, you are the real outsiders."
"A bunch of nonsense!" Luo Heng's face flushed, "This is the honor given to the Luo Family by His Majesty Taizu. Which round will be criticized by you! What's more, for so many years, the Luo Family has been observing the law with the Privy Council. It is agreed that whether it is sending people to participate in the scholarship test, or training them to become alchemists...Which one hasn't the Luo family ever done it?"
"It's a pity that these alchemists have the surname Luo." Ning Qianshi shook his head, "Even after entering the Privy Council and the army, quite a few people still regard themselves as Luo family members. Even today's Concubine Luo will be in trouble. Putting the Luo family's gains and losses in the first place, am I right, Luo Wuji?"
"It's true, Your Highness." Luo endless bowed his head and replied.
"Look, even the concubines are like this, not to mention the other Luo family's children-besides these six great families are all the same, is the Privy Council still the alchemist's Privy Council?"
"..." The old man was silent for a long while before he said solemnly, "This is the law of the world, how can it be changed by your will? Even if there is no Luo family, there will be other families... You can stand here Isn’t it because of the title of the Ning family?"
"This situation will not last forever. It is precisely because I intend to change this that other Luo family agitated people will choose to stand on my side."
"The royal family is included?" Luo Heng sniffed.
"The Ning family is also included." Ning Qianshi replied calmly.
Luo Heng was stunned. He stared at the second prince for a long time before spitting out two words, "Madman."
"I just see farther than you." Ning Qianshi was unmoved, "How, have your thoughts changed? Where is the fairy technique, I don't want to repeat it a second time."
"Xianshu... is in this book collection pavilion." Luo Heng gasped for two breaths and whispered.
"Secret door? Or dark room? Where is the key?"
"If there is nothing, it will be placed in the book pavilion publicly."
Ning Qianshi’s expression turned cold, "Then let all the Luo family’s children look through it? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child! Don’t tell me that Xianshu is placed on a certain column of bookshelves, but even seniors like Ning Wuji cost Haven't found it in decades?"
"So you haven't given up looking for it?" Luo Heng's gaze fell on the former disciple.
"Why didn't you teach immortality to me," Luo Wuji responded to the Patriarch's question for the first time, "Why can't I do a good job?"
"You... did bring out many outstanding disciples for the Luo family. Unfortunately, it is not up to me to decide whether or not I can learn immortality." Luo Heng shook his head, "As His Royal Highness said, I'm just a common man, so why? It is qualified to evaluate whether a person is suitable for acquiring fairy magic. In fact, many generations of disciples of the Luo family have not seen it."
"You mean—don’t you know where it is?"
"Yes, I only know that it is in this library, and it has been placed in accordance with the meaning of the ancestors. The book itself is for people to see, if it is tightly locked, it is dusted somewhere. That would violate the original intention of Zangshu Pavilion." Luo Heng smiled, "As long as he has the ability to read, even the newly joined Luo family disciples can see Xianshu."
"Enough." Ning Qianshi interrupted impatiently, "I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, this is the way you choose~IndoMTL.com~ He waved his hand, and immediately there was a guard dragging a person. Go to the patio.
"Let me go, what are you going to do? Second uncle—help me!"
The guard ignored his struggle and kicked him directly from the floor.
"Ah——————!"
The height of the seventh underground floor was nearly six feet, and only two muffled noises were heard, and the call stopped abruptly.
"You--" Luo Heng glared.
Ning Qianshi stood up, walked to the side of the patio and looked down, "This place shouldn’t have been stained with blood, but you gave me no choice. There are four others. You can continue to be tight-lipped and look at your own The family died because of an immortal book that was impossible to use at all."
Luo Heng gritted his teeth for a moment, and suddenly took a deep breath.
Just when he thought that the other party was about to confess, the Luo Family Patriarch suddenly rushed towards the courtyard close at hand, even if the guard wanted to catch him, he was a little too late.
In this way, Luo Heng passed Ning Qianshi's side and fell straight into the underground book pavilion.
Luo Wuji closed his eyes, not wanting to see the sight in front of him again.
"It seems he really doesn't know." The second prince frowned.
"His Royal Highness, what should I do with the rest?" the guard asked.
"Send to Xu Country. As long as they don’t return to Daqi, they don’t need to pursue it." Ning Qianshi stared at the silent underground courtyard. Search it again, paying special attention to the places where there may be hidden cells or secret rooms. Even if he is buried three feet in the ground, I will find Xianshu."
"Here!"
"Right," before the guard was about to leave, he stopped the crowd again, "be careful and cautious when searching, and don't damage the book. If one is missing, I'm the only one who asks, do you understand? ?"
"Yes, my lord." The guard respectfully walked out of the library.
