Chapter 693: The Library, the Mysterious Old Slave!

Library.

This is a majestic three-story building with a very distinctive structure. It is supported by 24 independent wooden columns. It is a square building with an elevated bottom and a suspended lower floor. Directly from the bottom to the top of the pavilion.

Ning Fan stood for a long time, looking at the door of the attic, his eyes gradually became dark, and for a while, thousands of thoughts appeared in his mind.

Can you solve the mystery in your heart here?

"Crunch!"

Before he could step inside, he saw an old man with a ruddy complexion and gray temples walking out, holding a broom in his hand. After seeing Ning Fan with slightly cloudy eyes, he looked stunned, as if he was very surprised. Someone is visiting!

"Old slave, I have met the noble man!"

"Your Excellency?"

"Haha!" The old man squinted his eyes and smiled, but his eyes were looking at Ning Fan. After a long time, he said softly: "Looking at the attic, you are here to check ancient books or do you have other errands?"

"walk around!"

Ning Fan did not underestimate the seemingly frail old man in front of him, and even the image of a sweeping monk appeared in his mind involuntarily, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

"oh!"

"You can do as you please."

After the old man finished speaking, he went about cleaning the dust around the attic. Ning Fan stepped in and looked up, his expression a bit shocked.

This library is suspended in the air, with a pillar reaching the top, and smart bookshelves on all sides. There is a wooden hinge in front of each bookshelf, which seems to be able to control the bookshelves hanging on the wall.

"What an ingenious mechanism!"

Although Ning Fan had obtained the inheritance book of Mohist organ skills, he was also shocked at this moment in this small scripture library.

There are at least hundreds of mechanisms in this small three-story building.

"Why does such an exquisite Buddhist scripture pavilion have such a low presence in the palace?"

"In fact, even when I was studying in the Imperial College a few years ago, I didn't hear anyone mention it?"

"It's getting more and more interesting!"

Ning Fan looked at the wooden sign in front of the bookshelf, and came to the bookshelf of ancient books. He gently twisted the knob, and saw the bookshelf on the wall creaking softly. Four thin wires suspended a bookshelf and slowly lowered to it. First floor.

The books on the bookshelf are spotless, and they are obviously maintained by someone on a daily basis.

Ning Fan saw an ancient book called "Da Xia Ji" at a glance. After opening it, from the establishment of the Xia Dynasty to the conquest of the barbarians, the expedition to the Western Regions and even the coming of all nations, everything was detailed and clear one by one. The time was unknown. As sleep passed, the old man returned to the attic at some point.

For an hour and a half, Ning Fan briefly read the seven hundred years of the Great Xia Dynasty, but when he turned to the last page, it suddenly stopped!

The last few pages of the book appear to have been torn out...

"interesting!"

"It seems that someone knew in advance that I was coming to the library, and it seems that... this book was specially prepared for me."

"Emperor Dog, you hide so deeply!"

Ning Fan murmured silently, but his heart was suddenly shocked. He thought that Dayu was now under his control, but in the short quarter of an hour when he went from the palace to the palace, someone knew about it in advance and arranged it All is well.

Holding "Da Xia Ji" in his hands again, Ning Fan observed it carefully, his fingertips touching the debris between the lines, and his expression became condensed.

Just torn it off?

"Old man!"

Ning Fan shouted lowly, but suddenly heard a long voice from behind: "The old slave is here."

"Fuck!"

"You don't make any sound when you walk?"

"His Highness was too focused on reading and didn't notice the old slave for a moment."

"Um?"

Ning Fan's expression became playful, and he said with a smile: "Do you know the identity of this king?"

"Guessed it."

"hehe!"

Ning Fan handed the book to the old man with a smile, and said calmly: "Who tore off these last few pages, and where are they now?"

The old man read through "Da Xia Ji", slowly put it on the bookshelf, and said with a smile: "It was the old man who tore it off. I just went to go out and found toilet paper, so I just looked for it." Several pages were torn out of the book.”

"You are so brave, do you dare to destroy the ancient books in the library like this?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will chop off your head?"

The old man smiled unsteadily and said: "Your Highness, please calm down. I know that my crime deserves death, and I am willing to use this token to avoid death!"

As he spoke, he handed a bronze medal to Ning Fan and walked towards the Scripture Depository Pavilion with a broom in hand!

"This is……"

"The death-avoidance talisman issued by Taizu?"

"good!"

Ning Fan looked shocked, looked at the old man's busy figure, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Who asked you to tear up these pages of ancient books? Why did Daxia die?"

"It doesn't matter who the old slave is. As for tearing off these pages of the ancient book, it is natural that the content in the book is not suitable for His Highness to know at the moment. This is the old slave's own decision!"

"As for why Daxia died, you will know when His Highness opens the secret of Daxia!"

"Um?"

"Do you also know Daxia's secrets?"

The old slave squinted his eyes and smiled, and said softly: "Recently, the Great Xia Secret Hidden has been making a fuss in the capital, and the old slave has heard about it."

"Your Highness, what you should know will be known sooner or later."

"The world has changed and the world is in chaos. I just don't know if we, the Central Plains, can avoid a catastrophe this time."

"Zhongyuan?"

Ning Fan's eyes were full of confusion, but he saw the old slave leaving with a chuckle. Walking out of the library, Ning Fan took away some martial arts secrets. Although most of them were useless to him, he could still pass them on to the Jinyiwei.

"My Lord!"

"Where are we going next?"

"Let's go back to the mansion!"

Ning Fan did not find any valuable clues in the library, but one thing is certain, Emperor Yu should also know something.

As for whether the old slave in the library is Emperor Yu's man, he is not sure.

"E Lai, summon Feng Xiao and Kong Ming to discuss matters."

"Yes!"

Ning Fan sat in the center of the hall, silently opened the system, with a bit of deep thought in his eyes.

"My Lord!"

Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang arrived together. Seeing Ning Fan with a serious face, Zhuge Liang spoke first: "Your Highness, are you worried about the secret treasures of Daxia?"

"Yes!"

Ning Fan nodded slightly and pondered: "Kong Ming, the person behind this is still unclear, but it was caused by Tianji Pavilion, and the center of the storm is in Dayu. If I don't find out clearly, I can't feel at ease!"

"Your Highness, think about it, what is the purpose of this person behind the scenes making the news of Daxia's secret treasures public?"

"What kind of things will happen? If it goes like this, even if you can't guess the person behind the scenes, you can infer it!"

"Oh?"
