At this time, Gu Juan slowed down.

Anyway, there is only one last shelf left, and with his quantum reading speed, it won't take too long to finish all the dozens of books on it, so it's better to be wet with rain and dew and not miss any possible clues.

Gu Juan sighed lowly, raised his hand and pinched a large and thick scroll on the top layer.

With a little effort, he didn't twitch the book.

After a little more effort, it remained unmoved, as if it had been nailed to a bookshelf.

Interesting, is the book glued to it?

Gu Juan exhaled lightly, pinched the scroll again, and pulled it outward.

Boom!

The tremendous resistance that had existed just now disappeared in an instant under the greater force.

He pulled the book out at once, and his arm hit the bookshelf behind him because of inertia, making a muffled bang.

Although the book was pulled out, he didn't look at it.

Instead, he looked at the space behind the bookshelf through the gap he had just made on the bookshelf.

He saw an eye.

Eyes that look numb in dim light.

It is like a pool of turbid water, exuding an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

Wow......

Gu Juan was silent and looked at the eye, and suddenly exerted a force, pulling out all the books in the top row of the last shelf, and then saw the whole picture of the owner of this eye.

It was a large eye.

There were many small eyes growing densely in the sockets, and it was certain that one of them was the eyeball he had just looked at.

Gu Juan frowned slightly, a faint blue fire ignited in the depths of his eyes, and he looked at the eye composed of dense eyeballs again.

This time, the scene he saw changed.

The large eyes are gone, and they become a face that is hard to forget at first sight.

This is an old woman who looks like she could die at any moment.

She only had half a face, and the other half could be seen directly inside the flesh and bones, as well as various viscous liquids.

On half of her pale and almost transparent face, there were dense green tendons, like countless worms crawling on her face, and the two eyes were only good if they looked at Gu Juan, and the other one only had a deep black hole left, and you could even see through Bai Huahua's constantly wriggling brain.

In addition, faint traces of scales can be seen on some of the skin, reflecting colorful light in the dim light.

The corners of Gu Ju's mouth twitched, and then he looked at the terrifying face that could make children cry at night, and adults were numb and cold, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

I don't know why, maybe his brain suddenly twitched, at this moment, he suddenly remembered "Jinwu Zangjiao", such a idiom that should have been beautiful and fragrant.

Whether it was the previous time and space or this world, he could be considered to have heard more than one version of the story of the Golden House Zangjiao, but what was the matter with the one in front of him?

Ling Guifei and her father, Ling Guogong of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the father-in-law of His Majesty the Emperor, if it is said that it is well maintained, it is normal for him to think about playing with the Golden House when he is old, but what is really unacceptable is that before his old man fell ill, he had to go to the library every night to secretly have a tryst, is it the indescribable woman in front of him?

To be honest, if it were him, even if the lights were turned off and the brocade quilt was covered, it would definitely not be hard to get up, it would not be able to go in, and it would not be successful.........

"Young people......... What are you looking for? power, wealth, or mystical powers that can make people immortal?"

"As long as you serve us religiously, all this will satisfy you. ”

After a moment of silence, only half of the old woman's face spoke, and her voice sounded ethereal, but it overlapped, as if it came from a distant place, but it seemed to ring directly in her ears.

"What Ling Guogong and Miss Su are looking for, I am looking for. ”

Gu Juan had a gentle and kind smile on his face, and the hands behind his back had already lightly touched the handle of the double-edged battle axe

"Ling Guogong?" she lowered her head and thought for a moment before revealing a penetrating smile, "I remember, are you talking about the old man who is about to die, he prayed to me for the power to make people immortal, and I was kind enough to grant his wish." ”

"But, I've just met him, and I need to tell you that this man is about to die. ”

"This is what you said gave him the power to live forever?" Gu Ju's tone was still calm, and he didn't have the idea of making a move.

She grinned strangely, her voice like a night owl, echoing in this small library, "The power of immortality cannot be faked, but some people's blessings are too thin, and they cannot be blessed to enjoy the gifts of heaven and man, young man, don't you say?"

In the small room on the third floor of the study of the Lingguo Mansion, Gu Juan and the old woman who was missing half of her face looked at each other across a bookshelf.

There was no tension between the two, but they were talking very calmly.

Now the focus of the discussion was tacitly led by the two to the place about heaven and man.

They are one who wants to speak, one who wants to hear, so they hit it off, and they enter it smoothly and slippery, without the slightest hindrance.

After listening for a while, Gu Juan interjected and asked, "According to what you said, besides you, there is a guy named 貊 who has appeared nearby recently?"

"Who is it?" said the old woman's mutilated face, with a puzzled expression, "when did I mention this strange name?"

"Okay, I misheard, there's no such thing. He suppressed the slight irritation in his heart, and continued, "What I can be sure of is that you just told me about Lu and Ting, right?"

"I've never told you the names of Lu and Ting. ”

Gu Juan took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, swallowed back the sentence "grass mud horse", and tried his best to calm his tone and said, "Maybe I heard it wrong again, then let me confirm it again, your name is caracal, right?"

The old woman's face showed a hideous and terrifying smile, "My name is Hide. ”

"I'm cool!"

He let out a loud shout, and the scarlet flames burst into flames, enveloping a cold axe shadow that bloomed in an instant, enveloping the entire bookshelf and everything behind it.

Rumble!

A huge force suddenly exploded in the small third-floor library, leveling the entire three-story building to the ground in an instant.

Gu Juan fell to the ground, flew out of the mess, and landed in the center of the courtyard that seemed to be unaffected, frowning slightly, looking at the stone table a few steps away, and the figure sitting behind the stone table.

................................................

The night is like water, and the breeze is gentle.

A figure dressed in a purple robe and wearing a silver mask sat in the middle of the courtyard, with two pots of tea on the stone table in front of him, still steaming outward.

I don't know when, a very light rustle sounded.

And with this sound, the entire courtyard seemed to be isolated from the outside world for a moment, and time seemed to stop abruptly at this moment.

Swish......

Gu Juan saw a flower in front of him, and the dust that rose high after the collapse of the building behind him disappeared in an instant, and even the old woman who was cut to the ground with an axe by him disappeared, as if it was just a dream just now.

"Who the hell are you, and what is the origin of that old woman who only has half a face just now?" Gu Juan narrowed his eyes, his expression was serious and solemn, "You seem to have sealed her in that library with a formation, and you are wearing down her strength little by little, I also want to know why." ”

"Don't tell me that you two are robbing men, saying that you two are not human things, will you also stage a palace fight?"

The figure that could not be seen as a man or woman was like a dream, constantly changing shape with the blowing night wind.

It quietly listened to Gu Juan's words, and did not show any anger or anger, perhaps its expression was obscured by the silver mask and did not show it in front of Gu Juan.

"I felt the aura of the manifestation of the heavens and the earth here, so I came over to take a look. ”

An ethereal voice sounded faintly from under the silver mask, sounding equally indistinguishable from male and female.

Gu Juan was silent for a long time before he slowly exhaled a turbid breath and said, "I don't know if it's because I can't speak clearly, or if you don't have long ears, I didn't ask why you came here just now, but who are you......"

"Why can't you answer questions honestly, and why is it always so difficult to communicate with people?"
