Chapter 869

~7 min read 1,360 words

In the main hall, Wei Yuan put down the history book in his hand and got up to go to the bookshelf at the entrance of the hall, seemingly to change a book to read. When he walked to the hall entrance, he saw that girl again, as expected.

From Wei Yuan's current angle, he could see most of the long corridor; the girl still walked out from the side corridor, and according to past practice, she should turn left and walk away from the direction of the main hall. But this time it was not; the girl turned right and walked directly toward the main hall.

Wei Yuan seemed a bit hesitant, but his footsteps remained unchanged, and he came to the bookshelf as usual, put the history book in his hand on it, then picked and chose, and picked up a particularly thick book.

Wei Yuan suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, suddenly turned his head, turned his whole head one hundred and eighty degrees, and looked behind him.

The girl did not walk away, nor did she watch at the hall entrance, but walked into the main hall and walked quickly toward him!

Wei Yuan turned around instantly, blocking the thick history book in front of him, just in time to block the dagger the girl stabbed!

With a muffled 'pop', the dagger pierced through most of the book, still a little bit away from piercing through.

Both of them lowered their heads at the same time; the girl looked at her dagger, and Wei Yuan looked at his history book, both having a re-evaluation of the other. The girl didn't say a word, reached out and wiped the dagger, and a luster of intertwined dark gray and bright white suddenly appeared on the blade.

Wei Yuan was greatly shocked and spoke for the first time: "What are you doing?"

"So, you can speak." The girl's voice sounded a bit strangely stiff, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time.

When she discovered that this Wei Yuan in front of her could actually speak, her momentum instantly soared, and the dagger in her hand turned into a long sword, while the sword body became elusive.

Wei Yuan was shocked and shouted: "What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"

"Finally... found you." The girl slashed with her sword, but Wei Yuan changed like a water bubble, the scene in front of her changed, and she actually appeared at the entrance of the main hall again, not knowing by what means she had been sent out of the main hall.

The girl rushed into the main hall again, only feeling that countless bookshelves in front of her were moving rapidly, the path ahead constantly changing, actually turning into a huge maze. She took a step forward and just rushed into a changing path, and in an instant, her eyes blurred, and she appeared at the entrance of the main hall again.

The girl frowned slightly and looked up at the main hall. She suddenly swung a thousand-zhang sword light and slashed directly at the main hall! The main hall also vanished like fireworks, revealing its original form.

At this time, the main hall was completely covered with black twisted vines, and small dark blue flowers were blooming on the vines. Only a small part of the main hall was barely exposed, not covered by vines. Looking from afar, the main hall at this time seemed to be the nest of some monster, eerie and terrifying.

The girl slashed at the black vines with another sword, and countless vines turned into ashes under the gray-white light, but in the blink of an eye, they grew wildly again, recovering as before.

She slashed several swords in a row, and the vines were annihilated and reborn, with no sign of disappearing at all. When the vines dissipated, the main hall revealed was already riddled with holes, continuously spraying groups of black energy from the damaged holes. In the black energy, countless vines were born again, and in an instant, the main hall returned to its original state.

Wei Yuan's voice came from the hall: "This hall has already been refined; whatever you do now is useless. If you are willing to let me out, perhaps I will consider letting you go."

The girl sneered, her figure flashed, and she rushed into the nest-like main hall again.

The next moment, she was teleported out of the hall because she took the wrong path. But her figure flashed, and she rushed into the hall again. Repeating this for a short while, the girl had already rushed into the hall hundreds of times, exploring a small area at the entrance of the hall in one breath, already close to the first layer of bookshelves.

Wei Yuan in the hall was quite shocked, his face showing solemnity, and the speed of the path changing in the hall also accelerated instantly; the layout of the hall would change every time the girl rushed in dozens of times. Only then could she barely be blocked outside the first layer of bookshelves, thus falling into a stalemate.

Although Wei Yuan didn't know what means the girl could use to hurt him, the moment he thought of the girl almost piercing the history book, he had a feeling of hair standing on end.

He instinctively felt that he must never let the girl touch him. Not only that, he had to find a way to kill her, otherwise, being blocked by her at the door, he couldn't do anything.

"It seems I have to use some means from here." This Wei Yuan looked at the bookshelves one by one.

A moment later, he returned to his original position, his face extremely ugly. In such a large main hall, there were nine large rows of bookshelves in total, and what was on them were all history books! What is the use of history books at this time?

Could it be that if he found something at random, carved the eight characters 'Received from Heaven, longevity and prosperity' on it, and handed it to the girl, the girl would treat him as her master?

Even if he thought with his butt, he knew this was impossible...?

Wei Yuan suddenly had a particularly strange feeling, as if thinking with his butt would really have a different result? But how could he have such a strange idea; is that how a butt is used?

Wei Yuan only felt that his brain was a bit chaotic at the moment; normally, the gaze from beyond the heavens had disappeared, and it should be his turn to be the master of this world. But what about the girl outside the door; is she a guard specifically placed by that terrifying gaze?

What should he do now?

This Wei Yuan was actually a bit at a loss; he knew nothing about the outside of the main hall, and he knew nothing about the means he could learn and use. The room full of history books were all things that 'cut through the Spring and Autumn period', and the author wouldn't even write one extra word.

For example, 'raising a pole to revolt'; what is a pole, how is it made, why raise it, none of it was explained clearly.

Or for example, 'the great army went on an expedition, returned in three years, beheaded eight thousand'. What did they use to behead, what equipment did the great army use, how were these equipments produced, how many people are in a great army to be called great, where did the people come from... none of it was said either.

Wei Yuan pondered, and suddenly had an idea: could it be that the people who wrote history books in the past were too poor, with limited paper and pens, so they were stingy with words?

He still wouldn't give up, walked to a bookshelf, intending to flip through it again to see if there were any other gains. But as soon as he took a step, his foot kicked something, and he almost fell.
