Chapter 253: Bloodstained 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, with a winding staircase that rises

sequentially 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 that "bloom" 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 cast

part of the building’s light into the ground, making the corridor on the

bottom seven floors faintly identifiable.

When anyone enters the library for the first time, they will have the illusion

of being in a huge chimney, and they will be amazed by the ingenious design.

It is not the first time Ning Qianshi has come to this place.

But even if he came again a hundred times, he still felt that the scene in

front of him was an excellent beauty.

It is a pity that the tranquility here today will be slightly broken.

"Bring people in."

"Here."

The guards pushed a few five-flowered people 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 immortality that the Luo family got from Taizu Ning must be returned to

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 Patriarch 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 seat of Patriarch purely by blood.

At Ning Qianshi's gesture, the guards pulled out the cloth strips from their

mouths.

"Cough, cough--" Luo Heng coughed fiercely. He was over 60, and this was the

first such insult. After finally calming his breath, he looked angrily at the

man next to the second prince, "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

aristocratic family divides the world's agitated people into six and seizes

them as their own. This has hindered the prospects of the alchemist and the

progress of the technique. To break this kind of separation, the aristocratic

family must die. What's more, there are many people like you who lie on the

body and enjoy the great benefits they bring... Honestly speaking, for the

children in the Luo family, You are the real outsiders."

"Nonsense!" Luo Heng's face flushed, "This is the honor given to the Luo

Family by His Majesty Taizu. Which round will be slandered by you! What's

more, for so many years, the Luo Family has been observing the agreement with

the Privy Council. Whether it’s sending people to participate in the

scholarship test, or training them to become alchemists...Which one did the

Luo family never do?"

"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, a considerable

number of people still regard themselves as Luo family members. Even today's

Luo concubine women will consider Luo family members in trouble. The gains and

losses are the first consideration. Am I right, Luo Wuji?"

"It's true, Your Highness." Luo Wuji lowered his head and replied.

"You see, even the concubines are like this, not to mention the other Luo

family 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, no Is it

also 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 sentimentalists will choose to stand on my

side."

"The royal family is included?" Luo Heng sneered.

"The Ning family is also included." Ning Qianshi answered calmly.

Luo Heng was stunned. He stared at the second prince for a long time before

spitting out two words, "Madman."

"I just looked farther than you." Ning Qianshi was unmoved, "How, has your

mind changed? Where is the fairy technique, I don't want to repeat it a second

time."

"Xianshu... is in this library." Luo Heng took a breath and said in a low

voice.

"Secret door? Or dark room? Where is the key?"

"If there is nothing, it is openly placed in the book pavilion."

Ning Qianshi’s expression grew colder, "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 a senior like

Ning Wuji, it takes decades. Can't find it either?"

"So you haven't given up on searching for it?" Luo Heng's gaze fell on the

former disciple.

"Why didn't you teach the immortal arts to me," Luo Wuji responded to the

Patriarch's question for the first time, "Why can't I do a good job?"

"You... indeed brought 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 am just

an ordinary person, so how can I be qualified to comment? It's not suitable

for one person to acquire immortality. 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 always been placed in

accordance with the ancestral instruction. The book itself is for people to

see. If it is locked and dusted somewhere, it is a violation. The original

intention for the establishment of Cangshu Pavilion.” Luo Heng smiled, “As

long as you have the ability to read, even the newly joined Luo family

disciples can see Xianshu.”

"Enough." Ning Qianshi interrupted impatiently, "I don't have the time to

listen to your nonsense, this is your own choice~www.mtlnovel.com~ He waved

his hand, and immediately a guard dragged him towards him. Go to the patio.

"Let go of me, what are you going to do? Second uncle-save me!"

The guard ignored his struggle and kicked him directly from the first floor.

"what------!"

The height of the seventh underground floor was nearly six feet, and only two

muffled sounds were heard, and the call stopped abruptly.

"You--" Luo Heng stared angrily.

Ning Qianshi stood up and walked to the side of the patio to look 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 watch your family

because of one He died with a magic technique that he couldn't 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 going 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 late.

In this way, Luo Heng passed Ning Qianshi's side and plunged straight into the

underground book pavilion.

Luo Wuji closed his eyes, not wanting to witness the scene 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 Guo. As long as they don't return to Daqi, they don't need to

pursue it." Ning Qianshi stared at the silent underground courtyard. Pay

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 will only ask you, understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness." The guard respectfully walked out of the library.
