Zhou Bai suddenly turned his head, but his body didn't move. Instead, he listened to the footsteps coming from outside.
In the dark and quiet dormitory, even the slightest sound could travel a long distance and was extremely clear.
At this moment, the footsteps outside were the same. As the footsteps got closer, Zhou Bai's body also tensed up. The power of the primordial spirit spread out from his mind and covered his body.
Seeing that the footsteps were getting closer and closer, they suddenly stopped when they were almost at the door of the room.
Zhou Bai held his breath, and thoughts flashed through his mind one by one.
'Has he discovered me?'
'Who is it? Why is he here so late at night? '
'What should I do? Should I continue to wait? '
Just when Zhou Bai was extremely conflicted, a figure suddenly flashed from the door of the room.
Almost at the moment when the figure flashed, Cristina had already let out a scream, and the pink sword aura slashed over like lightning.
Whoosh!
Ah!
Seeing the sword aura slashing over, the figure screamed and almost swung his head to avoid the sword aura. Seeing that Cristina was going to control the sword aura to slash at the figure again, Zhou Bai hurriedly stopped her in his mind.
Seeing that the sword aura had stopped between his eyebrows, the bald man who suddenly flashed in front of him sighed and shook his head. "You almost scared me to death, Zhou Bai …"
Saying this, he suddenly froze. Looking at Zhou Bai who had fallen to the ground, he said, "Why did you fall to the ground …"
Zhou Bai smiled awkwardly. "You suddenly rushed out and scared me to death, and you still have the nerve to ask me?" In fact, when faced with the figure who suddenly rushed out, Cristina's first reaction was to slash out sword aura, and Zhou Bai's first reaction was to lie on the ground.
Now that he saw that the person who suddenly appeared was Jian Xing, he patted his butt and stood up. He asked curiously, "Are you okay? Why are you here? "
Cristina reminded him, "Be careful of Zhou Bai. It's too suspicious for this guy to come to such a remote abandoned building in the middle of the night!"
Zhou Bai: "Don't worry, do I need you to remind me? If my legs turn to jelly, I'll be lying on the ground in 0.1 seconds. "
Seeing this, he looked at Zhou Bai and scratched his bald head. He thought to himself, This fellow Zhou Bai … Why is he still here so late? And he was lying on the ground just now? Too suspicious. '
Jianxing chuckled and said, "I'm just here for a stroll."
Zhou Bai chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, have you recovered from your injuries after being possessed?"
Seeing Xing nodded, "Sakura didn't attack my primordial spirit. My primordial spirit was just a little weak. I'll be fine after resting for a week. As for the flesh wounds, with the help of the school's experts, they healed very quickly. Speaking of which, Zhou Bai, it's already so late. What brings you here? "
Zhou Bai thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing to hide. He directly told him about how he and Qian Wangsun came to find the magical pages, but he hid the information about the Book of Dao.
Hearing this, Jianxing nodded. "Speaking of which, I also found a lot of strange pages in Building 1, Building 2, and this Building 3."
As he spoke, Jianxing took out a stack of pages from his pocket. They were all pages of the Book of Dao, just like what Zhou Bai had found before.
The two of them calculated that they had collected a total of twenty pages.
Zhou Bai was surprised. "Why are you looking for this too?"
Jianxing pondered for a moment and simply went straight to the point. "Actually, Teacher Xing Jun asked me to come here. He said that Qian Wangsun found some strange pages here, which seemed to be the cultivation insights of a certain senior. He asked me to come over after class and find everything for him. He will … "
Saying this, he scratched his bald head a little embarrassedly. "He will treat me to a meal."
Zhou Bai nodded, expressing his deep understanding. The reason why he and Qian Wangsun had been looking for so long was to earn some points and have meat to eat.
The fish and meat in the Daoist school were expensive enough to cover half a month's living expenses.
"But … Xing Jun …" Scenes of Xing Jun's appearance flashed in Zhou Bai's mind. "Why is it him again? Last time, he was also the first to kill Sakura, and now he's the one who asked Jianxing to come over at night. Is this guy really the mastermind? "
No matter what, Jianxing's appearance saved Zhou Bai a lot of work. The two of them took a total of twenty pages of the Book of Dao and went downstairs. They arrived at Building 7, the abandoned building where Cultivator Tranquil once lived.
"Is Qian Wangsun here yet?" Zhou Bai said a little impatiently. "After all, the two of us just finished searching. We'll have to wait for a long time."
Jianxing smiled and said, "Not necessarily. As far as I know, Zhou Bai, you chose the sword illustration back then, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Jianxing said, "The names and illustrations of the nine illustrations are nine symbols, representing the nine techniques of cultivation.
You chose the sword illustration, and you're good at assassination with flying swords. I chose the saber illustration, and I'm good at cultivating martial arts. "But Qian Wangsun is different. He cultivates the bow illustration, and he's good at observation and searching. He should be faster than us."
As Jianxing expected, the two of them waited for about ten minutes before Qian Wangsun arrived at Building 7. He looked at Jianxing and Zhou Bai in surprise. "Jianxing? Why are you here? "
Zhou Bai explained, and Qian Wangsun hurriedly covered his pocket. "Then let's make this clear. We'll keep the pages we find, and we won't split them evenly."
Zhou Bai nodded. "Got it. How many did you find?"
Qian Wangsun took out his pages. Including the one he found earlier, there were a total of twenty pages.
Together with the pages that Zhou Bai and Jianxing found, the three of them found a total of forty pages.
Zhou Bai took a closer look at the contents and realized that it happened to be chapter 001 to chapter 40, which was the first half of the Book of Dao. Of course, Zhou Bai didn't show Qian Wangsun and the rest the page with the contents of the Book of Dao from chapter 1 to chapter 40. He felt that he shouldn't reveal this information now.
Looking at the harvest in front of him, Qian Wangsun said excitedly, "Not bad, not bad. I knew there would be more here. Let me see, it's almost four o 'clock now. Let's hurry to Building 7 … "
Both Jianxing and Qian Wangsun seemed to be curious about the pages they found. The two of them walked to Building 7, and Zhou Bai followed behind them.
Building 7 seemed different from the previous buildings. The outer walls looked clean, and when they opened the door, there was no dust or trash in the entire corridor.
Qian Wangsun squatted down and looked at the ground. There seemed to be a glimmer in his eyes. "Why does it feel like someone has cleaned the ground?"
"Someone cleaned it?" Jianxing asked curiously. "This place has been abandoned for so many years. Why would someone clean it?"
