Chapter 144: Martial Arts Classics 2 (750 more added, three consecutive releases...)
Xiaoyao wrote the technique on paper after obtaining it, and then had Chi Chi deliver it to Gu Xing. He also instructed Chi Chi to give it to her when she was alone, which was an easy task for Chi Chi with his spiritual nature.
He wondered if every book might hold a miracle, for the books in this great library had many mysterious origins and who knows what other secrets they held.
Under Xiao Yao's efforts, he really found a few, all of which were very valuable. This is indeed the Grand Imperial Library of the Great Tang Empire, where the collected books are the best of the best.
Continue on, after finding everything here, I'll head to Tianxia Diyi and make sure to find all of these secret books!!
Three months later, Ling Xing's strength surged again with the new Ming Yu Gong, causing Le You Ran to exclaim in shock. She found that she seemed to be unable to keep up with Ling Xing's pace, and at this time, she was already in the middle tier of the Emperor level, her strength far surpassing that of her peers.
But she, was actually not as good as Lonely Star, this made her a bit hard to accept, she knew that Xīao would give Lonely Star new martial skills and new insights every now and then, she felt that she had to catch up with Lonely Star, the key was still to go find Xīao.
In these three months, Leyou Yan didn't stop looking for Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao always refused to meet her, leaving her no choice but to return in low spirits. Fortunately, Gu Xing was able to share his insights with her and discuss and spar with her, allowing her strength to rapidly improve as well. This made her not too obsessed with meeting Xiao Yao; otherwise, even Ning Zhiyuan wouldn't be able to stop Leyou Yan.
On this day, after closing a book and putting it back in its original position, he let out a long sigh and said: "It's finally over, there are really many books here, no wonder it's the Great Tang Empire, being the first empire for so many years is not in vain!!"
This is the last book that Xīao Yáo read here. Because there are no other books left, and he believes that today will also be his last day here. After that, he will be transferred to Tianxia No. 1 Academy. Go and live with the academy girls.
Yes, isn't Lone Star now that academy girl?
"Carefree, there's a book here, can you help deliver it to Qingyue Palace?"
Xiaoyao was about to bid farewell when someone entrusted him with a task, which was to help deliver a book to the Qingyue Palace. It was said that someone upstairs wanted to read this book, so Xiaoyao accepted the task and headed to the Qingyue Palace.
But before that, he first had to figure out where the Qingyue Palace was. The palace had countless halls, and just mentioning one place wouldn't tell him where it was.
Fortunately, Xiao Yao had seen the design drawings and floor plans of the imperial palace in the library before, so he knew all the facilities of the imperial palace. Of course, some modifications need to be ruled out, but this does not affect his finding of Qingyue Palace.
Then, Xīao thought for a moment and found the location of Qīng Yuè Palace. He walked over with the token in his hand, which allowed him to pass through as long as he wasn't going to sensitive areas. Whenever he encountered patrolling guards, all he needed to do was show them the token.
However, it seems that this time Xiao Yao has come to a very sensitive place, but there is no one guarding the place, a very special place.
"The Qingyue Palace, it's here, but why does it look so desolate? There's even weeds growing, is this still the imperial palace?" Xiao Yao saw a scene of decline as soon as he entered the Qingyue Palace, which was completely different from the prosperity of other parts of the imperial palace.
Could this be the legendary Cold Palace?
Suddenly thought of this term, any female family members abandoned by the emperor would be locked up here. There are not only concubines here, but also princesses. Of course, if it's a wise and just ruler like Ning Zhongyan, the people in the Cold Palace must have made mistakes, most of them!
"No wonder they would give me this opportunity, usually I'm desperately delivering books to people to curry favor, and I thought, there won't be any good things given to me!!" Xiangyang thought of the Cold Palace at that moment, and already understood, it was a thankless task.
Although she was banished to the cold palace by the emperor, after all, she is also a member of the royal family and the emperor's relative. Who knows when she will turn over? This matter is very slim, but it's not impossible. Moreover, no matter what, they are still members of the royal family, and whatever they want, they should be given to them.
The people in the cold palace are not to be bullied at will, this attitude must be corrected!
It's precisely because of this that many people don't like to see those in the cold palace, as they have power and privilege but can't offer rewards, and it's useless to try to curry favor with them - the return on investment is just too uncertain.
So, all the dirty work related to the Cold Palace would be assigned to the lowest-ranking servants, and it was clear that Xiang Yao was being planned for this class of people.
"Excuse me, is anyone there? I've come to deliver some books." Xiao Yao shouted into the interior, although it was a cold palace, it wasn't somewhere that people could just enter casually, at the same time, this was also a sign of respect for others, as anyone's home wasn't something that you could just barge into.
"Who dares to give me a defeat?! I've never lost before!!" A furious voice rang out, followed by the emergence of a figure.
"Master?" The two words immediately appeared in his mind, and what happened next made him confirm these two words, and even add two more words in front of them: Unparalleled!!
The greatest master of all time!!
Xiaoyao only felt a flash of human shadow, and then a casually dressed woman appeared in front of him. She was casually dressed, not that her clothes were revealing, but rather she hadn't put much effort into dressing herself up, not even bothering to tidy up her appearance.
The sudden appearance of this woman didn't even give Xiao Yao a chance to react, or rather, he knew that reacting wouldn't be of much use anyway, so he simply observed her directly.
This is a woman who appears to be in her thirties, with a somewhat dirty appearance, and even has black stains on her face, making it impossible to see her features clearly. However, judging from the outline, she should be a beautiful woman.
Although it is said to be a cold palace, generally speaking, the facilities here should be much better than those of ordinary people. Even if ordinary people can tidy up their demeanor, at least being clean is not a problem. The woman in front of her is like this, and it seems that it is not because she is in the cold palace, but rather because of herself.
For these, Xiao Yao didn't think much and simply presented the book, saying: "This is the book you wanted!"
"A book? I don't want it, how could I possibly want this, our line of work is most taboo about this, you've sent it to the wrong place, hurry up and leave!" The woman seemed to be very disgusted after seeing the book, frowning and retreating several steps before saying those words.
Is this woman a gambler? Only gamblers would be so superstitious about books. If that's the case, then who wants this book? Is someone playing tricks on me?
"Is this the Qingyue Palace?" asked Xiao Yao.
"That's right!"
"Is there anyone else living here?" asked Xiao Yao.
"None, just me alone, no one dares to live with me because I'm a madman!!" The woman said proudly, is she proud of being a madman?
"You don't look like a madman!" Xiao Yao said with some doubt, the woman in front of him looked normal, but these things can't be seen, and it's hard to say.
"That's because you see me when I'm normal, but when I go crazy, I get really crazy!" The woman said directly, then looked at Xiao Yao, thinking that he should be afraid like a normal person.
But she was disappointed, and Xiao Yao didn't seem afraid at all. Instead, he seemed a bit excited as he said: "Oh, I see! So that's how it is! In that case, this book must be what you wanted when you went crazy. Now that I've given it to you, take a look when you go crazy!"
"...The woman was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Xiangyang would have such a reaction, but thinking about it, it's actually possible, when one goes crazy, they might like to read books and stuff."
"Alright, you put the book inside, I think it won't be long before I go mad, I've been normal for several days now, that's enough!" The woman said.
"Can you tell when and how often you go crazy?" Xiao Yao was a bit curious, this situation was quite interesting.
"I roughly know a bit, because out of the seven days, I have memories for five days and two days are blank. It's usually like this, but sometimes it takes a little longer, and the time spent being crazy is also longer!" The woman seemed to have no intention of hiding anything, speaking directly, anyway she was just a madwoman, not afraid of people knowing.
"So that's how it is. Haven't you been stimulated by something before?" Xīao asked casually, not really needing to know the answer, as others would take care of this matter anyway.
"No! It's just that sometimes I lose money and get very stimulated, today I've been in the casino for four days and four nights, and in the end, I lost everything, it's really infuriating!!"
He glanced at the woman with a carefree expression, thinking that such a woman would not go crazy unless...
"Well, I'll take my leave then!" Xiao Yao prepared to depart as quickly as possible.
"Wait, who are you?" Just as Xiao Yao was about to leave, the woman suddenly changed her tone and asked him coldly.
"...He fell silent, understanding the situation now. The woman's question of who he was wasn't intentional, but because she didn't know, as she had already changed her personality."
To put it simply, she has just undergone a transformation from being crazy to sane!
That's right, it's so coincidental, Xiaoyao put on this transformation!
"I'm here to deliver books!"
"Oh, then you can put it down and leave." The woman nodded, although her face was still a bit dirty, but it did not cover her noble demeanor. From this point of view, the woman's origin must not be simple.
Nonsense! Those who can be here are certainly not simple characters!!
