Lu Mingshu lay on the bed and didn't fall asleep until late at night.
The moonlight was shining brightly outside, and a ray of light just shone on her window through the small hole that attracted the light from the sky.
She thought over and over again, what should she do. The advantage of staying here is that you can not be disturbed. The disadvantage is that having a master is almost the same as not having a master. If she goes to the House of Commons, she can practice martial arts, but no one will take care of her.
It sounds like she has no other choice. If she wants to practice martial arts, she can only go to the House of Commons. However, she was afraid that she would not think carefully and make the wrong choice.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, she sat up in a daze.
It was dark inside, but surprisingly bright outside.
Lu Mingshu got out of bed and opened the door.
The cave, which was once dark in the past, is now filled with light.
She was attracted by the light and walked over step by step.
Unknowingly, I went deeper and deeper.
Inside the cave, stone paths criss-cross, densely packed like spider webs. But she seemed to have a goal, without hesitation.
Walk through stone paths, through stone halls, and finally stop at the hollowed out mountainside.
The empty mountainside is wider than the largest square of Jiuyao Palace, and there are no decorations around it, only a skeleton sitting on the stone platform in the middle.
This skeleton sits on a stone platform in a cross-legged posture. The body is empty, nothing is there, the palms of the two hands are stacked together, and there is something on it, which is shining faintly.
Lu Mingshu stretched out his hand, and the thing flew in front of her.
This object is square, with six sides in total, and is a cube with sharp edges and corners. Amazingly, it is composed of many identical square wooden blocks. Each row is nine, each column is nine, a total of 9981 small squares on one side. Each small square is engraved with concise patterns, these patterns include mountains and waters, animals and plants, as well as graphics with unclear meanings. The pattern is also filled with colors, Lu Mingshu counted, there are six colors in total, they are red, yellow, blue, green, black, and white.
She reached out and touched it lightly, but found that these small squares could be twisted. The side made up of eighty-one small squares, whether it is horizontal or vertical, the outer layer or the middle, can all be twisted. Every time you turn it, the combination of small squares on each side will change.
Now, these small squares are messy in color and mixed together, looking very messy.
Looking at it, Lu Mingshu suddenly thought, six sides, six colors, can it be turned into one side and one color
She thought so and did so. It's just that each side has ninety-nine and eighty-one pieces, and every time you turn it, it will cause a chain change. It's so difficult to put all the six sides into a uniform color!
After turning around in a daze for a while, the colors became more chaotic.
Lu Mingshu stopped his hands and looked over carefully.
If this side is turned, the two small squares will be consistent, but the other one will be taken away, and then turned into another color... She thought about it step by step, and her thoughts extended all the way.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, but Lu Mingshu didn't realize at all that she knew neither hunger nor thirst, and all her attention was on this wooden cube.
No, too many...
By the way, it can be divided into several areas and then reset. There are a total of eight pieces visible on three sides, which are easy to arrange. There are also two sides visible...
The thinking is a little bit clearer.
In the stone house next door, Liu Jizhen slept until midnight and suddenly woke up inexplicably.
Although his meridians were broken and he was half useless, but he studied hard in the early years and his master's intuition is still there.
Not knowing where his intuition came from, Liu Jizhen thought about it, got out of bed and put on his clothes.
Pushing open the door of the stone house, the cave is very bright today. The moonlight of the full moon shines in through the holes in the top of the head, shining brightly in the room.
Liu Jizhen was used to this scene.
This Tongtian Pavilion is not an ordinary place, it was built by the founder of Jiuyao Palace in the early years. That patriarch was a very talented person, and he was one of the five great masters back then, famous all over the world.
It's just that this Song Patriarch, who didn't know what stimulated him, ignored everything in his later years and concentrated his efforts to hollow out this side peak and build this Tongtian Pavilion to collect books from all over the world. After that, I never went out again, and just sat here.
What's even weirder is that he left a will, did not move the body, and did not need to be buried. He only closed the place where he usually studied and enlightened, and used it as a tomb.
For this reason, the previous generations of disciples regarded Tongtian Pavilion as an important place of the sect, and the head of the courtyard was concurrently held by the head. The guardians and elders all wanted to enter Tongtian Pavilion to see the place where the ancestors learned enlightenment.
In their thinking, Song Zushi was the most accomplished person in Jiuyao Palace, and he must have his reasons for acting like this. Maybe, there is some secret to become a peerless master hidden in Tongtian Pavilion.
Unfortunately, from generation to generation, they have not discovered any secrets. This Tongtian Pavilion is really a collection of books. Although it has a rich collection of books, there are many rare and unique books, but what use are these things to their warriors? Even if there are some secret books, useful ones have been copied out, and what are left are either remnants or waste products that have been verified to be useless.
Over time, this Tongtian Pavilion has been abandoned, and even the head of the courtyard is no longer set up, and only people are guarding it - after all, this place is the resting place of the ancestors, so we need a gravekeeper, right
Before the meridians were exhausted, because Liu Jizhen didn't want to take over as the head, the elders of the sect negotiated and gave him the position of head of the Jingyi Academy. Although the matter of receiving rewards and punishments in Jingyiyuan is light, it is a first-class and important position. After he abolished his meridians, it was impossible for him to take up this position again, but it didn't sound good to leave the position like this, so someone had an idea and picked out this Tongtian Pavilion Master who was submerged in the dust.
Liu Ji is really a very serious person, especially after the meridians were abolished, his temper became even more weird. Since he was allowed to be the head of the Tongtian Pavilion, he came to the Tongtian Pavilion to sit in charge—although there is nothing good about it.
He exiled himself, and the opponents were overjoyed. Seeing that he was stubborn, those from the same faction stopped persuading him after a few times. Everyone is very busy, so it would be good to take care of them in terms of past relationships, and there is really no need to spend more time on a useless Liu Jizhen.
Liu Jizhen pushed open the door next door and found that his nominal apprentice was not in the room.
He frowned.
In the middle of the night, he had already closed the stone gate of the cave, so she couldn't get out.
I searched the two rows of stone houses on the left and right, but I didn't see her figure.
Liu Jizhen frowned even tighter, but he could only look deep into the cave.
Tongtian Pavilion was built so huge that it looked like an underground palace. Holding a torch, Liu Jizhen walked along the main road and searched for it.
Half an hour later, he stood in front of the tomb, his expression changed drastically.
The door of the tomb was opened!
The gate of this tomb has never been opened since the patriarch drove the crane. Even the tomb door was closed by the patriarch himself.
He took a deep breath and stepped into the tomb.
Then, he saw the empty tomb room, beside the stone platform where the patriarch was sitting, Lu Mingshu collapsed there.
