Chapter 104 Qiankun Mirror
The figure nodded and smiled, but soon disappeared without a trace. His name was Xuan Yue, and he was the former chief priest of the Imperial College. He usually lived in seclusion and rarely showed up.
"Do you know that the secret of the Imperial College Library is related to the fate of the Western Wei Dynasty?" Xuan Yue said in a serious tone.
Lin Xuan and Liu Yun looked at each other and both realized the seriousness of the matter. They lowered their heads and waited for Xuan Yue to continue.
Xuan Yue looked at them and sighed softly: "Back then, in order to protect the country, the ancestors of the Western Wei Dynasty specially set up a library in the Imperial College to select talents from all over the world. However, there is a shocking secret hidden in the library. Once it is leaked, the Western Wei Dynasty will fall into endless wars."
Hearing this, Lin Xuan and Liu Yun widened their eyes and looked at Xuan Yue in disbelief. They knew that this secret was related to the safety of Western Wei and must be kept secret.
"Master, how can we uncover this secret?" Liu Yun asked impatiently.
Xuan Yue smiled slightly, looked into Liu Yun's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You only need to look for clues in the library, and you will naturally find the answer. But remember, this process is full of dangers, you must be mentally prepared."
Lin Xuan and Liu Yun responded in unison: "Disciple obeys your command!"
Xuan Yue nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave. Under the moonlight, his figure gradually disappeared into the dense forest.
Lin Xuan and Liu Yun looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They knew that from now on, they had a heavy responsibility to uncover the secret of the library and protect the peace of the Western Wei Dynasty.
In the night, the two walked into the library carefully. Inside the library, the dim candlelight shone on the ancient walls, reflecting mysterious runes. They walked along the corridor and suddenly found a rune on the wall that was particularly eye-catching.
Lin Xuan pointed at the rune and said in surprise: "Brother, look, is this rune related to the secret that Master mentioned?"
Liu Yun observed it carefully and nodded, "Yes, this rune should be the key to unlocking the secret. Let's try to see if we can trigger any mechanism."
As he spoke, Liu Yun stretched out his finger and gently touched the rune. Suddenly, there was a slight vibration, and the wall around the rune slowly moved away, revealing a dark room.
The two walked into the dark room excitedly, and saw a stone table inside, which was piled with various ancient books. They flipped through these ancient books, trying to find clues to unlock the secret.
At this time, Lin Xuan suddenly found that the rune on the cover of an ancient book was exactly the same as the mysterious rune. He couldn't wait to open the ancient book, and saw that it recorded in detail the origin and development of the secret of the library.
It turns out that the secret of the library lies in a magical treasure called "Qiankun Mirror". This mirror can see into people's hearts and predict the future. It is a national treasure left by ancestors. However, the Qiankun Mirror is coveted by an evil force, which attempts to use it to tamper with history and control the fate of the Western Wei Dynasty.
After reading the ancient books, Lin Xuan and Liu Yun became more determined to uncover the secret.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the dark room. The two immediately hid the ancient books and prepared to deal with the upcoming enemy.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a figure appeared at the door of the dark room. Under the moonlight, the man's eyes were cold, and there was an evil smile on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Lin Xuan and Liu Yun and sneered: "Do you think you can stop me by finding the Qiankun Mirror?"
Lin Xuan and Liu Yun clenched their fists and looked at the newcomer with firm eyes.
The atmosphere in the dark room suddenly became tense. Lin Xuan and Liu Yun looked at each other and saw the determination and resoluteness in each other's eyes. They knew that this battle was inevitable.
The man stepped into the dark room, and the moonlight shone through the door onto his face, making him look even more ferocious. His name was Zhao Tianqing, and he was a notorious treasure thief in the martial arts world. Zhao Tianqing glanced at Lin Xuan and Liu Yun, and taunted, "You two youngsters, dare to block my way?"
Lin Xuan straightened his back and said sternly, "Zhao Tianqing, you have used all means to kill innocent people in order to obtain the Qiankun Mirror. Today, we will stop your evil deeds even if it costs our lives!"
Liu Yun followed suit and said, "That's right, we will never let you succeed!"
Zhao Tianqing laughed wildly, his expression becoming more ferocious: "Okay, okay, since you are so stubborn, I will let you see my methods!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Tianqing flashed and instantly appeared in front of Lin Xuan and Liu Yun. He thrust the sword in his hand, the sword light flashed, carrying a cold murderous aura.
Lin Xuan and Liu Yun were prepared and quickly dodged. The three of them instantly engaged in a fierce battle, with swords flashing and sword shadows flying. The ancient books in the dark room were stirred by the sword energy, fluttering like a feast of ancient books.
Zhao Tianqing's swordsmanship was fierce, and every strike of his sword went straight to the vital points of Lin Xuan and Liu Yun. Lin Xuan and Liu Yun repeatedly turned danger into safety with their exquisite swordsmanship and tacit cooperation.
During the battle, Liu Yun noticed the flaw in Zhao Tianqing's swordsmanship. He whispered to Lin Xuan, "Brother Lin, although his swordsmanship is fierce, there is a flaw in his moves. As long as we seize this opportunity, we can defeat him!"
Lin Xuan nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Okay, let's work together and win with one strike!"
At this moment, Zhao Tianqing's sword force suddenly changed and became more fierce. He looked at Lin Xuan and Liu Yun with a sneer on his face, as if he had already secured victory.
Lin Xuan and Liu Yun were under increasing pressure, but they still gritted their teeth and fought hard. At this moment, Liu Yun suddenly found an opportunity, and he jumped up instantly, with the long sword in his hand going straight for Zhao Tianqing's throat.
Zhao Tianqing was shocked when he saw Liu Yun's sharp sword, and quickly retreated. However, Lin Xuan had already anticipated his retreat, and grabbed Liu Yun, sending him into Zhao Tianqing's retreat.
Zhao Tianqing had nowhere to hide, and Liu Yun's sword pierced his throat. He stared with his eyes wide open, unable to believe that he had been defeated by these two young men. He let out a scream, and his body fell to the ground.
Lin Xuan and Liu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not let down their guard. They knew that Zhao Tianqing was not alone, and his accomplices might still be nearby.
As expected, just as they were about to leave the dark room, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them. This was a middle-aged man. He looked at Lin Xuan and Liu Yun, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "How dare you kill my brother?"
Lin Xuan and Liu Yun immediately became nervous. They knew that the battle was far from over.
The middle-aged man sneered and pointed the sword in his hand at them: "Since you dare to kill my brother, be prepared to pay the price with your life!"
Lin Xuan and Liu Yun clenched their fists and looked at the middle-aged man with firm eyes.
The sword light flashed and the sword shadows flew.
After a fierce battle, Lin Xuan and Liu Yun finally defeated the middle-aged man.
