178. Chapter Fourteen: Someone Comes at Midnight

I still remember when I entered the hall in the hidden ancient city, I received a letter from a flying pigeon. The letter once told about an unknown history, and there were incidents of demon books and gods in this history that were proposed and burning books and burying scholars.

The letter said that when Qin Shihuang burned books and buried scholars, a group of people entered the Kunlun Mountains from Zhamalong to escape, and disappeared without a trace from then on.

When Zhu Yuanzhang led the Ming army to carry the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Shun of Yuan was desperate to escape to the Inner Mongolia realm and passed through Zhamalong Phoenix Mountain, he heard the legend about the magic book god map, and then sent his army from Zhamalong Phoenix Mountain to enter the Kunlun Mountain realm, thus finding the so-called magic book god map.

What everyone did not expect was that the army actually found the hidden ancient city, but they did not bring out the Magic Book God Picture, but fought with the people in the ancient city, almost completely wiped out the army. The fleeing people were also isolated from the world and no longer paid attention to the military's killing, but this did not mean that the news of the Magic Book God Picture would disappear forever.

People in the ancient city also expected this and set up four levels, including the Valley of Life, the Tomb of the Old Man, the Sick and the Dead, and the Killing Forest, on the road to the ancient city. People have indeed been to that place over the years, but they all died tragically on the way. Only we happened to enter the hidden ancient city by chance and also obtained the Magic Book God Picture!

It is precisely because of the magic book and god picture that we have caused one after another to kill, and we have no choice but to hide here.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt fear.

Will everything that happened to me be related to the Magic Book God Picture?

"The magic book is a treasure to anyone, but we should not worry about this at all." Finally, Jiang Bo said: "The magic book and the magic picture were mentioned in the battle between Huangdi and Chiyou. Whether it is true or false, it can be seen that the magic picture is better than the magic book. At the beginning, we did not take away the magic book, but only the magic picture. Now it is also a correct choice."

I took my mind back and asked Jiang Bo: Is there no news about the God Picture?

"The God Picture is quite mysterious. The first master of the God Picture is Huangdi. When Huangdi got the God Picture, no one knew what he had understood from it, but he could easily deal with Chiyou and even executed him. Therefore, the God Picture must be more powerful than the Magic Book. As for what secrets are hidden in the God Picture, I still don't know yet. There are still several books I haven't finished reading, so I will look for it after dinner to see if there are any other clues." Jiang Bo said.

I had nothing to ask, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

"By the way." Jiang Bo seemed to suddenly think of something, took out a thread-bound book from his arms and handed it to me and said: There are some simple magic and other things. Take it back and take it to see, you are still too weak now. If you are alone, it is easy to be plotted against. I will teach you a little more skill when you have time.

I took it and flipped it around casually, and found that the things inside were a bit difficult to understand, so I could only wait until I finished my meal before taking a closer look.

After dinner, Lan Xiaoqi cleaned the dishes and wanted to continue to play with Changsheng, Jiang Bo went to the house to study ancient books, but I took out the thread-bound book that Jiang Bo gave me and started reading it carefully.

There are two names called "Shu Lu" written on the cover of the thread-bound book. I have never heard of these two names, and they are handwritten. They should have been written by Jiang Bo himself. When I turned on the first page, they recorded some simple basic content, such as what a ghost is, and the method of preventing ghosts and dispersing yin energy, etc.

Not only that, there are also many records about the use of Taoist weapons, including the Yin-Yang ruler, peach wood sword, compass, money sword, and some talisman drawing methods and key points for drawing talismans.

Anyway, this book "Theory of Art" contains everything, including evil, witchcraft, and Taoism, and the words on it are written in a fountain pen. I think it is very likely that this was written by Jiang Bo himself, and the contents in it are very likely that they are all things he knows.

I am not interested in evil and witchcraft, so I only read some Taoist things. Of course, this is just a look and understand. It is definitely impossible to learn it. I am not a genius, so I can’t do anything at first glance.

We are now in the runaway stage and cannot go anywhere, so we can only stay at my house for the time being. In addition, there is no news about my parents. The man and woman who captured my parents were definitely profitable. What we have to do now is to wait quietly.

All afternoon I spent studying "Theory of Art" in the house. Fang Xiang and Lan Xiaoqi played with Changsheng in the yard. Jiang Bo, like me, had been studying ancient books.

When I was having dinner in the evening, I asked Jiang Bo if there was any content about the God Picture. Jiang Bo shook his head and said depressedly that there were too few secrets about the God Picture and had not been found yet. If there were no other two books left, it would be impossible to find them.

After dinner, Jiang Bo continued to look for the secrets about the divine map, and I arranged for their place to live.

I have four rooms in my house. My parents' room was for Lan Xiaoqi and Changsheng to live there. The room I used to live in was for Jiang Bolai to live there. I wanted to sleep in the main room, but I slept in the side room on the left side of the yard. The room used to live by my grandfather, and my grandfather has been empty since he passed away. It has not come in handy until now.

After dark, everyone went back to their rooms to prepare for rest. I lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. My mind was full of things about the Magic Book and my parents.

Also, I don’t know how Wu Niang is doing. After leaving the Ancient City of Hidden World, we have never known where Wu Niang has gone. We said we were going to find Lan Xiaoqi and I, but I don’t know if we were to find it. Even if we find it, we may not be able to find where we are now.

I sighed, and I looked at the night outside the window with my arm pillow and felt a sense of melancholy.

After struggling around in bed for several hours, I was not sleepy at all.

In desperation, I took out a cigarette and lit it. I opened the door and walked into the yard, and started smoking alone.

The three rooms in the main hall were turned off. I thought Jiang Bo and the others were asleep. Sitting on the stone bench in the yard, I looked at the night sky, guessing in my heart what secrets would be hidden in the divine picture.

I didn't think of it in the end, but instead saw something flying towards me in the night sky.

I frowned and stared at the thing for a while, and found that it was a bird, but the bird's eyes were green.

There is a moon tonight. Under the bright moon, I vaguely discovered that the bird seemed to be an owl?

It wasn't very strange to see the owl at night, and it was still in the forest. Just when I thought of the owl I saw in the ghost road last time, my legs couldn't help but tremble.

Then, I found something was wrong. The owl actually flew towards me!

I was startled, took a cigarette in my mouth and took a look around, picked up a wooden stick from the side and held it in my hand, looking at the owl vigilantly.

The owl flew to the wall of my yard and stood at the corner, looking at me.

Just by this, I finally found the problem.

The owl's eyes are green, and there is no problem with her body. The problem lies with the owl's head!

This owl is exactly the same as the owl I saw in the ghost road last time, almost the same one!

Just when I couldn't help but want to call Jiang Bo and the others out, the owl suddenly moved. It flapped its wings and flew to the stone table in the yard, staring at me with two green eyes.

The stone table was made by my father himself and placed in the yard for chess. Now the table is less than three meters away from me, which means that the distance between me and the owl is less than three meters.

I squirmed at the Adam's apple and held back my shouting, feeling something was wrong with this human-faced eagle.

At this moment, the human-faced eagle's wings suddenly moved. It patted its chest and abdomen with its wings, and then pointed to the distance, as if it was going to express something.

I didn't understand it a little, and quietly looked at the human-faced eagle.

Seeing that I was not moving, the human-faced eagle patted its chest and abdomen with its wings and pointed to the distance. Finally, it flapped its wings and flew around in the air, and then landed on the stone table.

I really wanted to understand a little, so I put down the stone stick in my hand and whispered: What do you mean is to let me follow you?

The human-faced eagle could understand what I said, and nodded suddenly, meaning that it was that.

I have seen this human-faced eagle when it was able to understand human nature on the ghost road. Now, seeing it like this, I can be more sure of this.

I pondered for a moment and thought to myself that it was definitely not a coincidence that the human-faced eagle on the ghost road appeared here. Maybe there were other secrets hidden behind me. No matter what, I followed it out first. If I really found something wrong, I would evacuate. When I came to Dawu Village, it proved that I was going home. If I really wanted to hide at my house, I might not be able to find me.

Thinking of this, I whispered to the human-faced eagle: Wait for me for a while, I'll go change my clothes.

The human-faced eagle stood on the stone table without moving.

I went back to the room and put on my clothes and tied my sword to my calves. Then I left the room and tiptoed to open the door and walked out.

The human-faced eagle hovered not far above my head, pointing me at the road.

Not long after I walked out with the human-faced eagle, I found something was wrong. My home was at the end of the village, and behind it was a mountain, and behind it was a forest. There was a stream flowing outside the woods. When I was a child, I often called a few friends to go there to play in the water, but as I grew older, I hadn't been there for a long time.

And the place where the human-faced eagle took me to at this time was.

I didn't say anything and followed the man-faced eagle forward.

I have walked a lot before bypassing the small path of the mountain behind, and I am considered familiar with it.

After bypassing the mountain, the human-faced eagle shuttled back and forth in the woods. I was afraid that I would not be able to keep up with the human-faced eagle, so I quickly accelerated my pace. I ran, and it flew, and it was many times faster than me. When I left the woods, I could no longer see the shadow of the human-faced eagle.

I spitted a mouthful of saliva and thought to myself that this human-faced eagle is really not a thing, and it will be gone if it leads me here.

I didn't know what the purpose of this human-faced eagle was. I pulled out the saber from my calf and walked forward carefully.

Waiting to walk to the stream, my pupils suddenly shrank and I suddenly saw two figures.

The two of them were standing next to the stream at this time, looking at the stream flowing slowly in the stream with their backs to me.
