Chapter 332 - Searching for entrances
He's also a senior brother, so he's much more low-profile, so he can do things without hesitation. With the deep trust of the Sect Leader Ling, he becomes the trusted aide of the Sect Leader Ling, and can take care of some private affairs. " With that said, Ning Zhong walked over to Lao Denuo's side and praised him by patting his shoulder.
Hearing these words, Lu Da immediately turned towards Lao Denuo and cupped his fist and said with a respectful expression: "Lady Ning says that disciple should indeed learn more from Senior Brother Lao Denuo, and strive to become someone that Sect Leader Ling can trust and think highly of as soon as possible."
When Lao Denuo, who was at the side saw this scene, a gentle smile appeared on his face, but his heart was extremely embarrassed and helpless. Because in reality, it was not as beautiful as the two of them had imagined.
If not for the fact that his own small life was still in Ling Xiao's hands, how could Lao Denuo still arrogantly stand on the surface like this.
However, after seeing Ling Xiao's terrifying strength, Lao Denuo had been comforting himself. With Ling Xiao's ability, perhaps he could live a little longer by choosing a Huashan Mountain.
"Alright, let's not talk any more nonsense. Get ready to work." Because of Ling Xiao's instructions, Ning Zhong was extremely attentive to his words. Upon entering the Compendium Pavilion, he immediately began searching.
Very quickly, Ning Zhongze rummaged through the boxes, shelves, and piles of ancient books that were covered in dust and exuded a musty smell.
Although the Huashan Mountain Sect's Book Collection Vault contained a lot of books, there were only a dozen or so books that fit Ling Xiao's appetite. Because he did not want the recent history written, he spent a lot of time searching for all of the books.
After going through the list of books, Ning Zhong let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Alright, since there are so many, send them to Sect Leader Ling immediately. Remember, don't let anyone else see one of them, this matter, only the three of us know, it is also Sect Leader Ling's order.
Upon hearing these words, Lu Da and Lao Denuo looked at each other, then nodded their heads and said: "Don't worry, Lady Ning will definitely deliver it in secret and safely."
If not for Ling Xiao's order, Ning Zhong would never have allowed so many precious ancient books to leave the library so easily. One must know that these ancient books that were recorded down in the records of the creation times of the Huashan Mountain Sect were all priceless treasures that could not be copied, and if they were to disappear, they would have completely disappeared from the face of the earth.
It was only when Ling Xiao personally came to Ning Zhongze that he received such treatment.
After all, if there was any mistake with these ancient books that could not be rewritten, they would become the sinner of the Huashan Mountain Sect throughout the ages.
Under the escort of Lu Da and Lao Denuo, these dozens of ancient books that recorded the founding period of the Huashan Mountain Sect safely arrived at Ling Xiao's residence without anyone knowing.
"Thank you for your hard work, both of you." Ling Xiao looked at the book which was placed on the table and spewed out a lot of dust, and said while nodding his head in satisfaction.
"Sect Leader Ling, this is what we should do." Lu Da and Lao Denuo cupped their fists and said.
Tomorrow or at this time, come and get it. It's the same as always, don't let anyone see you. If I'm not here, you guys can come in and get it yourselves. Ling Xiao waved his hand and said.
Seeing Ling Xiao pick up a book and begin to read, ignoring the two of them, Lu Da and Lao Denuo bowed to him, then obediently left.
After the door was closed, the entire room immediately became quiet, only the sound of Ling Xiao focused on reading the books could be heard.
These books did indeed have records about the creation of the Huashan Mountain, but they were all records about what happened after the establishment of the hilum, and what Ling Xiao needed was the description of the creation of the hilum.
Ling Xiao knew that the first thing recorded should be the oldest book, so he chose to flip through the most worn-out book, but there was still nothing.
Just as he was about to finish flipping through it, Ling Xiao stopped what he was doing and started observing it carefully.
It was a picture. Although it was a little blurry, Ling Xiao determined that it was a map, and it was a single page, not the page of the book. It seemed like someone had torn it off and placed it inside the book.
However, it was not surprising. These books happened a long time ago, so who would specially come out to read them?
Even if Ning Zhong Liu said that someone would usually be in charge of writing these ancient books, the few books that Ling Xiao needed, just simply flipped through a few pages, were all dust and a musty smell that assaulted their noses. The paper had turned yellow as if someone had just pissed on it, so it was obvious that no one had flipped through it.
It was also thanks to the fact that no one was looking through it, so this remnant page was luckily kept within the book's layer.
Closing his eyes, Ling Xiao began to imagine the structure of the Huashan Mountain in his mind. Although Ling Xiao had not been in this world for very long, he had already wandered around the entire Huashan Mountain.
What Ling Xiao needed to do now was to decompose the paths on the Huashan Mountain and correspond to the diagrams on the remnant page.
Even if the original structure of the Huashan Mountain was really written on this fragment of the page, but after so many years, the Huashan Mountain Sect was also constantly evolving and revising.
However, the main path would definitely not change, otherwise, the entire appearance of the Huashan Mountain would change greatly.
After a long while, Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes and revealed a slight smile.
Sure enough, this fragmented page was the map that Ling Xiao wanted. On it was indeed the newly created blueprint of the Huashan Mountain Sect, and it was even a design.
After matching up to the main roads of the old and the new, Ling Xiao looked at the remnant page again and found something different.
In the end, Ling Xiao's focused gaze stopped at a side street and continued there for a very long time.
Because Ling Xiao was researching at a peculiar place, he faintly noticed that the side street lines were different from the other lines on the remnant page. However, because it had been a long time, the remnant page had already turned yellow and lost color, so Ling Xiao was not able to immediately confirm it.
But after a long comparison, Ling Xiao confirmed that this side street's line was indeed different from the others. It was just this one, and from the looks of it, this was the entrance to the mysterious cave that Ling Xiao wanted to find.
As for who added this side street, it was unknown, but Ling Xiao knew that the person who drew this side road, should be someone from Huashan Mountain, but in the end, he had left Huashan Mountain.
But no matter what, Ling Xiao had finally found it.
