Hidden books: 32

  Qiu Qiu was not as reckless and foolish as Da Bai, she didn't rush in without understanding what this place was.

  First of all, this place is too beautiful, but it's also too abrupt and strange. There isn't such a place in Xiuyuan Mountain, and Qiuqiu calculated the time, she entered the cave for at most one or two hours, outside the cave it should still be daytime, yet here the sky is hanging with a moon.

  Dabai ran a few steps, saw Qiūqiū hadn't moved, and could only run back with a gloomy face.

  "You're not afraid of being eaten by wolves either, just keep running."

  Qiuqiu picked it up from the ground and pinched the big white rabbit's ear.

  But she could understand Da Bai's feelings.

  Although Da Bai has a spiritual nature, it is still a rabbit and a pet. Seeing such a beautiful and quiet place, the spirit is still so strong, it can't help but be excited.

  If the spiritual energy outside was like a faint wisp of smoke, then the spiritual energy here was dense and rich, as if it had been steeped in water. Standing at the edge, Autumn felt all the pores on her body open up at once, as if she wanted to absorb all the spiritual energy that permeated this place.

  This feeling is too comfortable, just like in the depths of winter when you're about to freeze stiff and suddenly jump into a hot spring, from head to toe it's so pleasant and relaxing.

  But Qiuqiu became even more vigilant and took another step back.

  Until she retreated into the stone cave, all of the spiritual energy suddenly couldn't be felt anymore.

  Qiu Qiu stretched out her hand, but the spiritual energy was like an invisible barrier that blocked it, not even a bit of it leaked over.

  Too unbelievable.

  Qiu Qiu had an urge to step back in and cultivate properly here. But her rationality still held her footsteps back.

  This place is not Xiuyuan Mountain, that's for sure. But why is it so close to Xiuyuan Mountain? What exactly is this place?

  Qiuqiu used a great deal of willpower and hugged Dawei as they walked back and forth.

  She was also wondering why Da Bai had hollowed out and connected all the large and small caves here, but it had never been to this place?

  This place is obviously an independent, closed special space.

  Qiuqiu kept thinking about this problem all the way back home.

  The second day before dawn, Autumn ran to the main peak.

  Not looking for people, but going to look for books.

  Although there are many books on Lianhua Peak, most of them are in Yu Shui's true place. Once Yu Shui closes the door, no one can take out these books except Jingyue.

  But the main peak is different, the main peak's collection of books is more abundant, Qiuqiu has never seen it, but Jingfei told her that those books filled a three-story tall library, all the books collected by the generations of disciples of the Lishui Sword Sect are placed there. According to Jingfei, even if you want to read through all those books, it may take decades or even hundreds of years to accomplish.

  Qiu Qiu couldn't understand what was going on with that sudden appearance of a different dimension, but she thought maybe those books could provide some inspiration.

  The library is not open to everyone, Qiuqiu first went to find the master who was in charge of taking care of the library. The master was very easy-going and didn't put on any airs. After Qiuqiu reported her identity, he readily gave his permission.

  "I heard that Master Yu Xia has a disciple living in Lianhua Peak, and it's actually you." Qiuqiu was still shorter than the waist of an average person, so this senior brother had to use a bowing posture to speak face-to-face with her.

  "Hello, senior brother."

  "No need for politeness, both Master and Big Brother have instructed me to take good care of you. What book are you looking for?"

  Qiu Qiu didn't know if reading the book about finding a strange place would offend any taboos, she just said she wanted to take a casual look.

  "Then go ahead, but many of the books inside can't be taken out. If you find a good book that you like, I can help you copy it."

  "Thank you, senior brother."

  "You're welcome." This senior brother was indeed a bookworm, with a gentle and affable demeanor: "Last time you wanted to come, I might not have had the time, but as soon as the previous exam ended, my place became a mess, just take a look, don't worry about anything."

  Qiu Qiu noticed the emphasis in his words.

  Recently there was an exam at school, so many people came to study?

  Isn't this the same as exams in later generations? In universities, when there are exams every day, many people still study in the corridors after lights out in their dorms. At most, a corridor is packed with students cramming for key points on both sides.

  Originally, people who practice Taoist meditation are almost the same, they all resort to Buddhist practices when they are about to die.

  While Qiuqiu happened to have arrived at the right time, it was probably just after the exam and during the rare window period when the disciples who had just finished the examination would not come to the library for a while.

  Qiu Qiu turned a corner and entered the gate of the library.

  She stood there with her mouth half open, and the whole person was stunned.

  This is hardly a building in front of me.

  This is obviously an ocean of books.

  The library and the wisdom platform are the same, and no one knows their actual size. They are not just limited to the area visible from the outside. Row upon row of bookshelves are filled with books, and there are not only paper books, but also bamboo carvings, silk fabrics, and even materials that autumn doesn't know about. The shelves are packed tightly, and one can't see the end at a glance.

  Fortunately, these books are numerous and categorized. Qiuqiu walked among the tall bookshelves that reached the ceiling, looking at the labels on top. These labels were probably quite old too, Qiuqiu couldn't tell exactly how old they were, but was certain they were much older than herself.

  "Ah," she stopped in her tracks.

  The back rows of bookshelves are all about strange realms and spaces.

  It will take her one and a half years to find them all.

  It's really inconvenient in this era, why isn't there an intelligent search system?

  Even without a search function, and even if the content is simple, can't the title be more reliable? Look at this one, it's called "You Chun Ji". Autumn thinks it's ridiculous. People who understand know that this is a book about traveling through strange lands, but people who don't understand think it's about brothels. What's with this one? "Chuan Yun Lang Yue"? Does this look like a book title to you? It looks more like the name of a sword technique.

  Qiu Qiu resignedly sat down and began to slowly flip through book after book.

  It's undeniable that these books can be placed in the library, which means they have value worth preserving and storing. Take "You Chun Ji" for example, Autumn really misunderstood the title of this book. "You Chun Ji" is a note written by someone named You Chun who experienced a strange world. The record is very detailed, from discovering this strange world to finally escaping, as long as conditions permit, this person will write down what he saw and heard at that time, and if there's anything that can't be recorded, it will be supplemented later.

  This method is really good, although it's a bit of trouble, but even the best memory can't be relied upon at times. After a long time, memories may gradually fade away or become distorted in one's mind.

  It's really valuable, it's just not very referential for Qiuqiu.

  She gave up on this one and went to flip through the next one.

  I spent the whole day at the dental hospital yesterday, and I felt like the drilling sound of the dentist's drill was not on my teeth, but on my brain... After coming back, my head was empty and I completely forgot what I wanted to write. I couldn't write anything no matter how hard I tried. Sorry everyone. But yesterday was the last treatment, so this kind of situation shouldn't happen again in the future.

  I'll update more tomorrow.
