The weather was already very cold, and after they entered the tomb, a gust of cold air hit them in the face. The inside of the tomb was even more eerie. Xiaoke took out a searchlight and shone it on the path in front of them.
Skybolt pig had lived here for hundreds and thousands of years, and he was very familiar with the environment here. With Skybolt pig leading the way, they didn't have to worry about any danger.
In fact, when Lin Yi went back from here last time, he didn't encounter any danger. Although there were hidden weapons on this path, they were all attracted by the rain and sparks. These were all one-time use mechanisms, and they wouldn't have any effect after being used.
So very quickly, the three of them arrived at the life and death door. Although the inside of the tomb was eerie, it was smooth. Boss Bai was very excited. He knew that it was Lin Yi and Xiaoke's second time here, but he didn't expect it to be this smooth.
"Now, where should we go?" Boss Bai asked excitedly.
"This is the death door, it's where Zhang Liju's coffin was, and it's also where Skybolt pig used to live. There's nothing inside, but this is where Zhang Liju used to store his belongings. My Fuxi Needles and qi gathering pellets were all found here." Lin Yi said, "Let's go find the stuff first, and then pay our respects to Master Zhang. What do you think?"
"Alright, I'll listen to you!" Boss Bai wanted to pay his respects to Master Zhang first, but he knew that Lin Yi was worried about his constitution, and so he wanted to find the book on constitution first. In terms of seniority, Lin Yi was Zhang Liju's disciple, and Boss Bai was a disciple of many generations. Although Lin Yi respected him as his master, Boss Bai didn't dare to ask too much of Lin Yi.
"Then let's go and have a look!" Lin Yi said as he walked forward with Boss Bai to the bookshelf they had been to before! He then said to Boss Bai, "Master Bai. Take a look and see if there's anything on it. "
Lin Yi took a quick glance at the bookshelf and didn't see Zhang Liju's medical notes, but he didn't know if there was a record of Zhang Liju's strange happenings. Lin Yi didn't have any recollection of such a book.
Boss Bai nodded and searched carefully on the bookshelf. From the beginning to the end, he did not let go of the titles on the spines of every book. There weren't many books on it. It wouldn't take Boss Bai much time to read them from the beginning to the end. After reading them, Boss Bai shook his head and said, "No …"
"Oh, then let's go to the showroom again!" Lin Yi didn't have much hope. He just wanted to start from the beginning.
Just as they were about to leave, Xiaoke exclaimed, "Eh?!"
"What's wrong? Xiaoke? "Lin Yi turned around and looked at Xiaoke.
"Someone touched this bookshelf!" Xiaoke pointed at one of the books at the bottom of the shelf. He said.
"What? Someone touched it? "Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine! Although Lin Yi was a practitioner and wasn't afraid of ghosts, he couldn't say that it didn't exist. However, it couldn't be said that this thing didn't exist. Otherwise, where did the damn thing in the jade come from?
"Yes!" Xiaoke said solemnly, "This bookshelf probably hasn't been touched for thousands of years, so there's a layer of dust on the spines. But look, below this book …"
Lin Yi and Boss Bai bent down at the same time. They looked at the book Xiaoke was pointing at, and as expected, on the empty wooden shelf in front of the book, there was a mark of someone moving it. There was a mark of someone moving it. Because there was a layer of dust everywhere, only the front of this book had a vertical groove. Someone must have pulled out the dust from the front of this webpage recently and removed it …
Seeing this, Boss Bai didn't feel anything, but Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine! This tomb … Did someone else come here?!
When they first came here, no matter if it was Xiaoke, Old Hei, or Yu Huoxing, none of them touched the books. Yu Huoxing checked the names on the books carefully, but didn't touch them. Lin Yi remembered this clearly, but now, there was a book here that had been moved …
From the marks, this book had been put back no more than three months ago. This could be seen from the markings on it, so it couldn't be from the last time they came. The only explanation was that someone else came in, took this book, and put it back!
But what was the purpose of doing this?
Xiaoke's breathing quickened as well. The few people who knew about this were all captured and sentenced to death. She and the male thief definitely didn't come back. Could it be Yu Huoxing or the female thief?
Lin Yi thought of Yu Huoxing as well, but this person was as cowardly as a mouse. There was no reason for him to come back alone. Plus, everything was taken last time, so what was the point of him coming back?
Plus, Lin Yi heard that Yu Huoxing was under house arrest by the hidden House Yu. Even if he wanted to come out, there was no chance …
"Whatever, let's see what this book is first." Lin Yi said.
Xiaoke took the book out, and Lin Yi kept an eye on the jade. Luckily, there was no movement, which meant that there was no danger. Lin Yi was most afraid that this book was a trap set up by someone else to lure people in.
This was a book written by a wandering doctor, but when Lin Yi flipped to the first page, he realized that something was different! This book was indeed a record of strange stories of wandering doctors, but the empty space in the book was filled with handwriting, all of it in tiny handwriting. It was the same handwriting as the one in Zhang Liju's elixir refiner's notes. Evidently, this was written by Zhang Liju as well!
"This is it, this is the Record of Strange Tales of the Patriarch! Bai Boss looked at the book in Lin Yi's hands excitedly and pointed at the words on it, "Master Zhang added on to someone else's Records of Strange Happenings, giving his own unique insights, and the problem of a refiner's physique was mentioned in this Records of Strange Happenings at the very beginning. It's normal for Master Zhang Liju to add to it after reading it."
