Han and Xiao didn't know what was going on under the stone steps, so they didn't dare to act rashly. After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no movement inside, they walked down the stone steps cautiously.As soon as I went there, I saw the unnamed spiritual tablet placed on the altar.

"There are so many spiritual positions." Xiao Fengling wondered in a low voice, "Why are there no names on them, whose are they all?"

"Since they are enshrined in the Qingping Sect, they should be members of the Qingping Sect." Han Tiexin looked from left to right, and said, "There seem to be hundreds of these spirit seats, and none of them have names. If the disciples of the Qingping Sect Why don't you engrave your name on the spirit seat?"

Xiao Fengling frowned and said, "I've never heard of such a large number of deaths and injuries in the sect. So whose are these spiritual seats?"

"There is a secret path ahead." Han Tiexin pointed to a small path behind the mourning hall, "Tang Xiao and Meng Liang should have left along this path. Let's follow to see."

The two of them walked in the dark again for a while, and the eyes gradually brightened up. Han Tiexin hid in the darkness of the secret passage, and saw clearly that the secret room in front of him was full of rows of neatly arranged bookshelves. They were all filled with books, and they asked in a low voice, "Is this the Qingping Sect's Library Pavilion?"

Xiao Fengling didn't answer his question right away, but stared at the bookshelves carefully for a while, and answered firmly: "This is not Zangshu Pavilion."

"What? No?" Han Tiexin was very surprised by Xiao Fengling's answer. The Qingping Sect is a sect in the Jianghu sect, and it's not the home of some literati. The books of the whole teaching can be put together in one room, and this place is neither a collection of books. How could there be such a room full of books?What Xiao Fengling said next made Han Tiexin feel even more strange.

"Although this is not Zangshu Pavilion, the layout is exactly the same as Zangshu Pavilion."

"What? You mean...the so-called Zangshu Pavilion is used by Qingping Sect to confuse those who have ill intentions on Qingping's martial arts teaching?"

"I don't know about this." Xiao Fengling shook her head and said, "I have been teaching in Qingping all these years, and I never knew that there was such a secret path in the mountain, let alone such a room leading to it."

Meng Liang looked around, his eyes flickered, his Adam's apple was moving up and down, and he asked knowingly, "What... is this place?"

Tang Xiao didn't poke him, but replied flatly: "Cangshu Pavilion."

"This is the Library Pavilion?" Meng Liang pretended to be surprised, while a pair of mouse eyes kept looking up and down in the room, as if trying to find something.

"Are you looking for this?" Tang Xiao walked to a bookshelf with familiarity, opened a hidden compartment on the bookshelf, took out a booklet from a wooden box, and handed it to Meng Liang. On Huang's cover, there are four words Xuanwu Sword Art written impressively.

"This is the basalt sword formula master created based on Bai Zhuxing's sword formula, and it is the essence of his lifelong martial arts." Tang Xiao said.

Meng Liang said to Tang Xiao before that he only paid attention to his status in the world, and didn't care whether martial arts were invincible at all. In fact, he was telling the truth. For him, martial arts was just a stepping stone for him to make profits, not his lifelong pursuit, but people always They are greedy, since they have the ability to get something, how can they just watch it flow through the fingers.

Meng Liang grabbed the sword formula in Tang Xiao's hand, and impatiently began to read it. He only felt that the sword moves in the book were very strange, very different from the usual moves in the Central Plains martial arts, and the inner strength and mentality were even more weird and unpredictable. , but people have a kind of magic to keep reading after reading it.

But after flipping through a few pages, Meng Liang took a cautious look at Tang Xiao, forced himself to close the sword formula, handed it back to him, and said with a half-smile, "Nephew, what do you mean by this? How can you show the treasure taught by Qingping to an outsider like me casually."

Seeing that he was not fooled, Tang Xiao put away the sword formula calmly, and said apologetically, "It was I who made a mistake, and I hope my master will not be offended."

"Hey~~ where?" Meng Liangpi said with a smile, "After we leave this library, where are we going next?"

Tang Xiaodao: "We came in through the secret way, and we were not noticed by the disciples of the teaching, but the Zangshu Pavilion is heavily guarded. If we go out now, we will definitely be caught by the guarding disciples."

"What should we do?" Meng Liang asked anxiously, "According to what you said, we can't leave here?"

"Uncle, why panic." Tang Xiao said with a half-smile, "You asked me to bring you here to avoid the Huashan faction's pursuit, and now we are hiding in the Qingping Sect's Library Pavilion. There is no order from the leader here. No one is allowed to enter, and you also know that Xiao Fengling is dead, even if they choose a leader they trust, they probably don't have time to run away now, so no one can find us, wouldn't it just fulfill your original intention? "

"You!" Meng Liang didn't expect that he would lead his army here, and he was about to turn back through the secret passage with his sleeves thrown. He took two steps but stopped. He saw Tang Xiao sitting on the floor in the library pavilion calmly, from He took out a book with an unknown name from the bookshelf and flipped through it casually. He didn't intend to stop him at all. This kind of freedom of coming and going made Meng Liang feel uneasy. It was Tang Xiao who had been leading the way in front of him. If he went back alone, it was hard to say whether the road would be as peaceful as before.

When Meng Liang was in a dilemma, Xiao Fengling who was hiding in the secret passage suddenly sniffed vigorously, and whispered to Han Tiexin next to him: "Have you smelled it? There is a smell here."

Han Tiexin asked, "What's the smell?"

"I can't tell. It's like the fragrance of flowers, and it's also like the incense coils used to repel insects." Xiao Fengling replied, "But no matter what the smell is, such a sudden appearance must have something to do with Tang Xiao."

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. It seems that Tang Xiao wants to attack Meng Liang, so we don't want to be implicated by staying here." Han Tiexin pulled Xiao Fengling's sleeve and said softly, "Just seeing how Tang Xiao is not afraid of Meng Liang's escape, I don't know Is there a trap on the way back?"

Xiao Fengling said: "I have carefully observed along the way. The mechanism in the secret path was indeed made by my teacher, so I don't think there is any mechanism on the way back. And Tang Xiao is so confident, most likely because of Meng Liang's suspicion to bluff him."

Meng Liang's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he stared fiercely at Tang Xiao, who was slowly flipping through the book. Tang Xiao seemed to understand that he was wary of him, closed the book and said with a smile: "Uncle, I am completely useless in martial arts. You are still worried that it will be bad for you? Even if I really have the courage, I don’t have the ability, right? Here, my life can be said to be in your hands. If you want to kill, I will There is really no chance of escaping at all, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Hearing what he said, Meng Liang felt that it made sense. After all, at such a short distance, no matter what tricks Tang Xiao played, he was sure to kill him. Tang Xiao was a smart person, so naturally he would not risk his life for the sake of killing someone. Buying at a loss.

Tang Xiaoshi, who seemed to be reading a book, had been secretly observing the slight changes in Meng Liang's expression. Seeing his loose expression, he continued, "Don't worry, uncle, you are afraid of death, and so am I. It's best for us to hide here." It's safe."

Meng Liang asked: "Then shall we hide here all the time?"

"Of course not." Tang Xiao pointed to a gap in the corner of the wall and said, "When the sun shines in through this gap, it's the time when Qingping teaches the daily exercises. At that time, there were no guards outside the library. We Then you can go out."

Meng Liang dubiously listened to Tang Xiao's words, hesitated for a moment and sat next to Tang Xiao, stretched out his hand to touch a few big acupuncture points all over his body, and said coldly, "Don't try to play tricks!" Willingly took the Xuanwu Sword Art again, and continued to read.
