Chapter 405 Mysterious Stone
After the trial, the people present gradually dispersed. Amon said to Xiao Meng:
"Classmate, can you help me remove the seal on my body?"
"Seven... um... it will naturally be removed in seven minutes."
Xiao Meng originally wanted to say seven hours, but when he met the "German Sparrow"-like eyes of "Zhou Mingrui", he shrank his head and changed his words to seven minutes.
Amon nodded.
Hu Qian came over, looked at Xiao Meng, moved his mouth twice, and swallowed the words back.
With a barely perceptible sigh, he said to Amon: "I promised you before that I would give you corresponding rewards based on your trial performance.
"The reward for winning one game is 500 fire energy, and if you win two games... you can be allowed to try your luck in the library and choose an item.
"Come to the library to find me in three days."
Because it takes some tricks to get the reward from the library, Hu Qian deliberately gave Amon three days to recover from his injuries.
…
In the spacious and bright room, rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged, filled with books.
Although it was not a martial arts or fighting skill, there were many records of various magical beasts and herbs. For those who did not have a master, this could be called a treasure mountain.
In the center of this sea of books, an old man with white hair and beard was slowly flipping through an ancient book.
There were slight footsteps, and a young man in ordinary linen clothes came over and greeted the old man in a gentle tone:
"Vice Dean."
"You are here." Hu Qian closed the book and looked at Amon, "Have you recovered from your injuries?"
"Some minor injuries, I have recovered a long time ago, Senior Sister Xiao Meng held back."
"Come with me." Hu Qian stood up, walked to a wall, and patted it a few times. A passage emitting dim fluorescence in the dark appeared in front of him.
Night-shining pearls were inlaid on the upper part of both sides, and the dim light was emitted by them.
Hu Qian walked in, and this little light was enough for him to see his feet clearly.
Amon followed without hesitation.
In the quiet passage, only the sound of two people's footsteps echoed. After walking for more than half an hour, a ray of light finally appeared in front of them.
Light sprinkled from the sky, and a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides appeared in front of them. In the wide open space, there was a huge building that was almost as big as the surrounding mountains.
The huge pavilion revealed a vicissitudes of life and a heavy sense of history.
A plaque with three big characters "Book Collection Pavilion" hung high above the pavilion.
Although it looked right in front of him, in Amon's perception, this pavilion was far away. A layer of space barrier blocked them, making this short distance an insurmountable natural moat.
Is this the method of Dou Zun... Interesting.
Amon raised his right hand and stroked his monocle. He saw dozens of "loopholes" of various sizes from the blocked space. If he wanted, he could invade with his "space" characteristics.
...But he will be slapped to death by the two Dou Zong masters guarding the library.
Hu Qian stopped when he brought Amon to the open space in front of the library.
"Elder Su Qian and I agree that this boy has the strength to enter the inner courtyard, and he has passed the test we set, and is qualified to go to the library to choose an item. I hope you elders will open the door."
Hu Qian spoke to the empty space in front of him, and bowed respectfully.
His words spread with the Dou Qi and echoed in the valley.
Two gray-robed men suddenly appeared in front of them. They sat cross-legged on the ground, as if they had always been there.
Amon only felt a slight fluctuation in space.
Bailie and Qianmu, the two strongest people in Canaan College, except for the dean Mang Tianchi who was unknown where he was, were at the peak of the nine-star Dou Zong.
Amon's expression was slightly condensed. These two people and Xun'er's guardian were the biggest variables in his plan.
Any intervention by anyone would cause great interference to his pursuit of the Fallen Heart Flame.
Amon didn't even have a way to evade or counterattack.
There was no other reason, the level gap was too big, so big that it was insurmountable with existing means.
Two gray-robed figures like old monks slowly raised their heads and swept their eyes over Hu Qian and Amon in turn.
Their eyes stayed on Amon for a while, and they uttered a slightly puzzled light: "Hmm?"
Amon gave them a very strange feeling. He looked like a Douling, but there seemed to be many hidden and more powerful powers hidden in his body.
However, they didn't delve into it. Canaan College has been established for so many years, and countless outstanding students have come in and out. They all have their own little secrets, and it is normal to meet a more special one occasionally.
"At such an age, he can reach the realm of Douling. He is really gifted."
An old and somewhat hoarse voice sounded from under the gray robe.
Another person said, "It's much stronger than the previous batches, so it's worth opening it for him."
The two of them formed a strange seal at the same time, and ripples appeared on the space folds that were so subtle that they were almost imperceptible to the naked eye, forming a passage.
"Okay, the space lock has been opened, let's go through it as soon as possible."
Hu Qian and Amon passed through the space channel and entered the space lock. A gray-robed man waved his right hand, and the closed door of the library slowly opened.
"The door will only be open for one hour. After one hour, you must come out regardless of whether you have obtained anything or not. The items inside are protected by energy layers. Do what you can. If you cannot break through the energy layer, then change to another one. You cannot force things that you cannot obtain." A guard reminded.
"There are students who have gone in empty-handed in the past... In addition, most of the things here are the feedback from your seniors after they have achieved success. If you can develop to a certain level in the future, you might as well come back here and leave some small things for your juniors." Another person added.
Amon replied lightly: "Definitely."
"Good luck to you." Hu Qian said with a light smile.
Amon stepped through the door, walked through the long passage, and came to an empty and spacious room.
The huge room was empty, but there was a layer of energy shield around it, with faint spatial fluctuations on it.
Although Amon could also break through these energy shields, Qianmu and Bailie, the two guards of the pavilion, might be watching, and his goal was not here, so he could not expose his own spatial characteristics in advance, so he did not mess around and waited honestly in the same place.
A subtle sound of breaking through the air came, and Amon knew that the mechanism of the library was activated. On the walls around, energy vortices emitting flowing light appeared one after another.
One by one, light balls emerged from the energy vortex on the wall, passed through the huge room at a very high speed, and disappeared into the other wall.
Amon pinched his monocle, looked up and quietly watched the light balls passing by quickly, without any movement.
These energy layers wrapped around objects are also a kind of "seal". Amon's "breaking seal" talent allows him to see through these not complicated seals and sense the objects wrapped inside.
Gongfa, fighting skills, Tianfei fruit, elixir...
Many things that are enough to cause Dou Wang and even Dou Huang to compete for in the outside world are wrapped in energy layers of different colors and fly past Amon's eyes, but he is not moved at all.
His dark eyes are deep, as mysterious as the starry sky.
There are many things that can play a role for Amon now, but their usefulness is limited, and they are not necessary. Therefore, he was more willing to continue waiting until he saw something that really interested him... Even if he ended up getting nothing because he wasted too much time, it didn't matter.
The sky was full of brilliance, and the interest in Amon's eyes gradually faded and disappeared.
He was not disappointed either. After all, most of the things inside were returned by past seniors after graduation. They were all things they no longer needed, and there were basically no truly high-end items.
Just as he was about to take a random herb and leave, a more violent energy fluctuation came.
"Huh?" Amon looked a little puzzled.
His eyes passed through the energy layer and saw the items inside... a dark stone with dark red lines on the surface.
As soon as his right foot stepped on the ground, his fighting spirit surged, and he suddenly soared into the air, passing by like an eagle with wings spread, and took the gray energy ball that caught his attention in his hand.
The fighting spirit condensed in his hand, and the flowing starlight flashed obscurely, and the energy layer was easily eliminated.
Amon put the dark stone with dark red lines on the surface in front of him and looked at it carefully. He found that it was also a layer of energy seal, but the essence of the energy was so high that it became a physical entity, looking like a special stone.
"Tsk... Interesting." After trying it, the seal-breaking ability of this Douling body could not dissolve the seal. He planned to try it with the Douhuang body after returning.
Amon thought about it and changed his mind again... Well... It's too risky. What if there is a dangerous object sealed? Let's try it with a Douwang clone.
If it doesn't work, keep it first, and it won't be too late to try again when the clone reaches the Douhuang level.
After confirming the item, Amon walked out without any reluctance.
As Amon left, the energy vortex on the wall of the huge room gradually became smaller, and disappeared with a slight "click".
Amon turned around and left without any reluctance.
Walking out of the door, the gray-robed man's sleeves moved slightly, and invisible energy filled the surroundings and swept over Amon.
Amon guessed that this should be to check whether he followed the rules and whether he only took one. He tossed the stone in his hand to indicate his harvest.
The invisible energy receded like a tide, and the gray-robed man nodded slightly to Amon, and said in a hoarse, old voice:
"Remember, don't disclose what's happening here, including us and the situation inside the library, to anyone."
Amon smiled softly: "I remember."
He bowed politely to the two people, then slowly walked down the steps and came to Hu Qian's side.
"Did you gain anything?"
"Not bad."
"That's good." Then, Hu Qian said to the two elders: "I won't disturb you two from your meditation, goodbye."
The two left the space lock through the invisible door in the space. When Amon looked back, the two gray-robed men sitting cross-legged on the ground had disappeared.
Just as suddenly as they appeared.
Ripples appeared on the folds of space again, and the door of the space lock was slowly closed. The ancient, huge mountain-like pavilion disappeared into the valley again, like a flower in a mirror or a moon in water. Although it seemed to be right in front of it, it was out of reach.
