"What's going on? Why is there so much mold in this house?"
"Tsk." Cristina's mustache twitched, and she said earnestly, "Zhou Bai! This house doesn't look right. Let's not go in!! "
Zhou Bai didn't say anything. Instead, he continued walking in. As he walked, he said in his mind, "What are you afraid of? After all, the two of us have more than 300 Primordial Soul points. In addition to my defense power and your attack power, if we encounter aberrations like the old man and Sakura again, we can easily defeat them."
Zhou Bai stepped on the ground, and a squeaking sound followed. He looked down and found that the floor of this building was made of wooden flooring. Due to mold and moisture, the flooring had already warped.
Every time he stepped on it, there would be a creaking sound that spread far into the darkness.
Zhou Bai walked along with the strange sound while checking the situation in this dormitory building.
The situation in this building was different from the previous dormitory building.
Zhou Bai controlled the crystal to float into the room. He could see that the wooden bed, tables, chairs, and even the wardrobe in the dormitory room were still there. However, the interior was empty, and no one seemed to be living in it. Furthermore, they were all badly moldy, and there were dark spots of mold everywhere.
Drip.
Zhou Bai looked up and found that the roof was actually seeping water. Drops of water gathered on the roof, and finally either dripped down or slowly flowed down the wall.
"Why is there so much water?" Zhou Bai frowned. Donghua Dao School was located 1,500 meters above Donghua City. The sky and ground were all man-made buildings. Theoretically, it would not rain almost all year round.
So, where did this water come from?
Zhou Bai walked up floor by floor. The light of the crystal shone on each room, but he didn't find any other abnormalities. He looked at Cristina, who was curled up into a ball with her eyes closed, and said helplessly, "Alright, this building is a little damp, but there's no problem at all. What are you afraid of?"
Cristina said, "It's too dark here!"
Zhou Bai said, "You're a cat and you're afraid of the dark?"
As he walked back down the stairs, Zhou Bai teased Cristina in his mind. Looking at the silly cat trembling in fear, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
After exiting building number five, Zhou Bai entered building number four.
From the outside, Building Number Four was already covered in dense vines. When Zhou Bai stepped into it, he discovered that some of the walls had even cracked, revealing branches and leaves.
Zhou Bai looked at the first room he passed and found that the door was closed.
He tried to push the door, only to hear a loud bang, and the entire door was pushed to the ground.
The densely packed shadows in the room were exposed, reaching out towards Zhou Bai like thousands of hands.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Bai was slightly shocked, and the power of his primordial spirit instantly covered his whole body.
However, in the next moment, he let out a soft sigh of relief. What seemed to be thousands of hands reaching out towards him were not real hands, but countless branches and leaves that grew out from the cracks in the walls. They filled the entire room, and if the door wasn't closed, they might have already grown out.
"This is too good at growing, isn't it?"
Zhou Bai casually glanced around and didn't find anything, so he went to the next room.
He found that building number four was different from the damp building number five. The dormitory in building number five had furniture, and most of them hadn't been moved out yet.
Building number four not only had furniture, but Zhou Bai also found a lot of things like tattered bed sheets, old clothes, and even some tattered clothes racks and cups.
It felt like a lot of trash was left behind when moving.
However, this situation was even better for Zhou Bai. At least there was hope of finding clues.
Therefore, he walked into the dormitories, activated the power of his primordial spirit, and opened all kinds of drawers and clothes, looking for anything valuable.
After searching a few floors, Zhou Bai finally found a booklet in one of the dormitory's drawers.
He saw the cover of the booklet wrote:
"There's no time. They're coming.
I've hidden everything in Tao Te Ching. As long as you find him, you'll get the answer.
"Don't hate me, child."
Zhou Bai's eyes narrowed, and he flipped to the next page. It was actually the content of Tao Te Ching, from chapter 001 to chapter 40. It was complete, and Zhou Bai was stunned.
However, he casually glanced through it and didn't read it carefully. Cristina in his mind didn't see the specific content of Tao Te Ching.
"How can this be? Why is there Tao Te Ching here? Who is the person who wrote this message? Why doesn't everyone else seem to know about Tao Te Ching? "
Zhou Bai let out a long sigh and continued to flip to the back. He realized that there was a large blank space. Suddenly, a page fell. Zhou Bai's eyes lit up, and he saw the words written on it.
16: To Emptiness, Keep Silence. All things work together, and I will see them again. "Everything in the world returns to its roots …"
"This is Chapter 16 of Tao Te Ching?" Zhou Bai was shocked. He looked at the page in his hand, and his primordial spirit became restless again. There seemed to be images flashing before his eyes.
Zhou Bai quickly closed the page, and the restless feeling slowly faded.
"Tao … Te … Te … Ching …"
Zhou Bai continued to search Dormitory Building 4, and soon found more pages. Basically, every page was a chapter of Tao Te Ching, and he found a total of seven pages.
Feeling that this so-called Tao Te Ching seemed to be hiding some secret, Zhou Bai left Dormitory Building 4 and ran toward Dormitory Building 3.
Christina, on the other hand, was already curious about what was happening. "What exactly is the Tao Te Ching? This thing has been in this building for so long, didn't the school discover it? "
"I don't know," Zhou Bai said. "Anyway, let's find it first."
Stepping into Dormitory Building 3, a burnt smell rushed into Zhou Bai's nose. He opened a random room, and was slightly stunned. He then walked to the next room, and found that every room in Dormitory Building 3 was covered with bright red talismans.
The bright red characters seemed to be written with blood, and there seemed to be an inexplicable redness on them.
Zhou Bai went forward to check and found that the talismans did not seem to contain any supernatural power. They were just normal talismans.
Suddenly, Zhou Bai's eyes narrowed. He removed the talismans on the wall, and found that there seemed to be something behind them. With a thought, the power of his primordial spirit swept across the entire wall, and as the talismans were removed, a page slowly floated down from the wall.
1. Tao can be Tao, but not Tao. Name can be Tao, but not Tao. The nameless beginning of heaven and earth, the famous mother of all things …
Not only was the sentence he had written during the entrance examination written on it, but it had also completed the entire first chapter. Before Zhou Bai's primordial spirit became restless, he first put the page into his bosom.
Cristina said in surprise, "Isn't this what you wrote during the admission test? So you copied this Tao Te Ching! "
At this moment, a light click sounded outside the corridor, and it spread far and wide in the dark abandoned building. Cristina exclaimed, "Someone's here!"
