Open the door.
"I'm back!" Gu Qing Shan said.
"You're back? Quickly go to the kitchen and cook "Li Qiu Yu's voice came.
"Is that something you should say to greet someone?"
Gu Qing Shan grumbled and went to the kitchen, only to see that all the ingredients had already been bought and were neatly arranged on the chopping board.
"Let me help you"
A girl came into the kitchen. It was Zhao Qiong.
"Ah? Senior Zhao? "Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"I came to discuss something with your sister, but it was a bit late, so she asked me to stay for dinner" Zhao Qiong said with a slightly flushed expression.
Gu Qing Shan looked outside the window.
It was already getting dark.
"Then help me wash these ingredients, I'll take care of the rest"
"Alright"
The two of them began to work.
While cutting the ingredients, Gu Qing Shan glanced at Zhao Qiong.
She was very focused on washing the ingredients, then went to arrange the utensils.
This girl … should be fine.
Gu Qing Shan turned her gaze away and started cooking.
A few dozen minutes later.
A table full of sumptuous dishes was ready.
"Li San Lang, someone like you will definitely be very popular when you grow up" Zhao Qiong commented.
Li Qiu Yu yawned, came out of her bedroom, and glanced at the table.
"Ah? Why are there so many dishes today? "she asked in surprise.
"I'm in a good mood today" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Li Qiu Yu picked up the utensils and began to taste the dishes.
"Hm, this one is good, this one is also good — — - they're all very good. San Lang, listen carefully, from now on, you have to make this many dishes for lunch"
Gu Qing Shan muttered: "In the long run, I don't want to become a pig farmer …"
"Li Qiu Shan, say that again!"
…
After finishing their meal, the three of them sat together to drink tea.
"San Lang, why are you in a good mood today?" Zhao Qiong asked.
"My cultivation has improved, I feel like I'm about to receive a new inheritance from spirit linking" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Zhao Qiong and Li Qiu Yu both appeared surprised.
"That fast?" Li Qiu Yu couldn't help but ask.
Gu Qing Shan asked, "Is this considered fast?"
"Very fast, very few people could be as fast as you, how impressive" Zhao Qiong praised.
Gu Qing Shan's heart tightened, but she smiled and said, "Right, Big Sister Qiu Yu, I have a question for you."
Seeing his pleading expression, Li Qiu Yu scoffed, "Ask away."
"When I performed the spirit linking, you were watching over me — — did I fall asleep right away?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Li Qiu Yu thought for a bit and said, "At the time, you glanced at me, then fell asleep."
"Big sis Qiu Yu, I don't even remember looking at you" Gu Qing Shan said.
Li Qiu Yu casually said: "That's nothing, sometimes people will subconsciously do a few small things, but they might not remember it"
Gu Qing Shan didn't dwell on this issue anymore.
He turned to Zhao Qiong and asked: "Big sis Zhao, I heard from my history teacher that there were many void monsters that infiltrated the great tomb, is that true?"
This was common knowledge, so Zhao Qiong didn't mind it and nodded: "Yes, at the time, the great tomb had only just appeared and spat out quite a few rare treasures, causing powerful entities from all 10 worlds to rush into the tomb"
Li Qiu Yu took a sip of tea and casually cut in: "What's there to ask about that? Even we could only slowly study the tomb's outer perimeter, but they dared to directly charge in, there's no need to say what happened to them"
Gu Qing Shan muttered to herself: "After that time, no one had ever dared to arbitrarily enter the great tomb again"
Li Qiu Yu shook her head: "You're wrong. As long as there are benefits, there will always be people who don't believe in them. From the past until now, every few dozen years, or even a few hundred years, there would always be people who didn't even notify us and charged in without permission"
"No one should be able to come out, right?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Of course not" Li Qiu Yu smiled.
Zhao Qiong corrected her: "There were a few who were especially lucky, perhaps because they didn't go too deep inside and managed to come out alive — — but those were extremely rare, and even if they did come out, they would already be on the verge of death"
"Then they must have been caught by us" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"No, we don't dare to touch them, because we don't know if they brought out some sort of unimaginable Apocalypse, so we usually hope that they can leave the Tomb of Myriad Beasts as soon as possible" Li Qiu Yu replied.
After saying that, she tapped Gu Qing Shan's head and said: "You little brat, why are you asking so many questions? It's better for you to quickly raise your spirit linking level, once your strength reaches a certain level, you'll naturally be able to learn a lot of things "
"Ouch, be gentle" Gu Qing Shan exclaimed in pain and dejectedly said: "I'm only 13 years old, when will I be able to learn even more secrets?"
Seeing him being hit on the head by his sister and showing a wronged expression, Zhao Qiong's heart softened.
She stroked Gu Qing Shan's head and gently told him: "In another two years, after you graduate from the Study Lodge, you'll be able to go to the Book Vault to read some basic information — — - we have a few records regarding the entities that trespassed into the great tomb, you can take a look at them yourself"
"Big sis Zhao Qiong is the best" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Li Qiu Yu glared at him and said: "Have you finished your tea? If you're done, then go cultivate! "
Gu Qing Shan stood up, greeted Zhao Qiong, and returned to his bedroom.
As soon as the door closed, he could still hear the two girls talking.
"This child, seriously — — -"
"It's nothing, we were also curious about these things back then, weren't we?"
Gu Qing Shan stood behind the door for a while, replaying their conversation just now in his mind.
Is my spirit linking really fast?
He silently thought, then walked up to his bed and sat down.
I have a few thoughts, a few guesses, but no proof.
The truth is hidden within the endless fog, if I want to approach it bit by bit, I can't go in the wrong direction.
Direction …
Gu Qing Shan sat there, silently waiting.
Outside the window, the shroud of night slowly deepened.
Finally, he heard Zhao Qiong and Li Qiu Yu saying their goodbyes.
The door closed.
Li Qiu Yu came back, washed up, and returned to her bedroom.
Gu Qing Shan waited for a while longer until it was midnight before he left his room and went straight to Li Qiu Yu's bedroom.
He opened the door and went in.
Only to see Li Qiu Yu sleeping soundly on the bed.
Gu Qing Shan stared at her.
Li Qiu Yu didn't notice this at all.
Shannu's voice came: "Gongzi, if you just stand there, what if she wakes up?"
"She won't wake up" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Did gongzi do something to the food?"
"It's actually a type of spirit cooking treatment, it's able to replenish her blood essence, calm her mind, and make her full of vigor, but only after a good night's sleep" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Three flying swords appeared from the void of space behind his back.
「 If she won't wake up, then — – what are we going to do? 」 the Earth sword asked.
"What do you think gongzi is going to do?" Shannu asked in return.
The Earth sword replied: 「 Take a guess 」
Shannu wasn't fooled and asked Gu Qing Shan right away: "Gongzi, what do we do now?"
Gu Qing Shan took out a formation plate and began to arrange it.
"She's currently in a deep sleep, so she doesn't have any strong defensive capabilities. I'll arrange several layers of formations for her so that if something happens to her, I'll be able to know in time"
As he spoke, he set up dozens of defensive formations around the bed.
Li Qiu Yu was still in a deep sleep, completely unaware of this.
"Gongzi wants to go out?" Shannu guessed.
"Yes, we're going to the Bookkeeping Room to check if there were any void monsters that managed to escape from the great tomb" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"That place must be heavily guarded" Shannu commented.
「 As long as you graduate from the Study Lodge, you'll be able to openly enter without any risk 」 the Earth sword replied.
"I can't wait" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"How about using [Night Cruiser]?" Shannu suggested.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything.
He returned to his room, opened the window, and leapt out.
Halfway there, he had already transformed into a large orange cat and lightly landed on the ground.
[Ghostly Shadow of Night], activate!
Using the jade gourd pendant Adorable's [Spotless Jade] ability, the orange cat quickly ran through the streets without being noticed by any of the patrolling guards.
The orange cat quickly made his way to the Bookkeeping Room.
The Bookkeeping Room was a black pagoda-shaped structure that stood straight at the center of the city.
It was already quite late at night, so there weren't many people in the Bookkeeping Room, but there were still quite a few guards stationed here.
After all, the Bookkeeping Room contained too many mysteries and secrets, which were the most valuable things to the people of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
The orange cat silently observed for a while, then circled around to the back of the Bookkeeping Room and quickly found an air vent.
However, this place was filled with bone fragments, which meant that a Bone Master had already arranged an airtight defense here.
"Meow — –"
The orange cat lightly called out.
The Six Paths Great Mountain sword abruptly appeared from the void of space and abruptly stabbed towards the air vent.
All techniques, all Laws, were destroyed by this single stab.
The orange cat rushed in like a bolt of lightning.
At the same time.
"Who goes there!?"
A series of shouts resounded.
Eight guards descended from above, landing near the air vent.
They looked around but couldn't find anything.
All the bone fragments were perfectly intact.
Just now, the technique on the bone fragments was activated, then abruptly disappeared.
The guards hurriedly contacted the Bone Master on duty inside the Bookkeeping Room.
The Bone Master came over to take a look, then led the guards to search for traces bit by bit.
Nothing.
How strange!
In the end, the Bone Master concluded that something like a leaf blown by the wind had accidentally triggered the bone fragments and caused this result.
Because something like this had happened before, this result was acceptable.
Everyone then dispersed.
At another location.
Gu Qing Shan entered the Bookkeeping Room and began to search floor by floor.
Now that he had understood the basic situation of this civilization, he wasn't completely at a loss when searching for books.
Very quickly, he confirmed that the information he was looking for was on the lowest floor.
— — after all, any newcomer who graduated from the Study Lodge would be able to check these secrets, so this place wasn't particularly heavily guarded.
At this point, the Bone Master on duty had already returned to his position and was currently checking the most important secrets on the highest floor of the tower, so he didn't have time to pay attention to this place.
The Bookkeeping Room was dark and silent.
An orange cat that couldn't be noticed by anyone was slowly pacing around the neatly arranged bone fragments.
[Otherworld monster death records and relevant information]
The orange cat stopped in front of this sign.
It began to fiddle with the only long piece of bone.
— — -this place only contained the most basic secrets, so there was only one related bone fragment.
The orange cat was a bit disappointed, but since he was already here …
Like a person, he crouched down on the ground and carefully read the bone fragment.
All of a sudden.
He seemed to have noticed something as the slowly swaying tail behind him suddenly froze in mid-air.
Written in the language of the Tomb of Myriad Beasts, a piece of information was recorded on the bone fragment:
[Naturally, a few extremely fortunate void monsters managed to escape from the great tomb, but their numbers are extremely low]
[The following is the list of survivors]
[…]
[Fifth, Abyssal monster, Soul Shrieker]
