Chapter two hundred and seventy first life and death
Bai Shu sighed helplessly, walked over the second box and walked back. The moment Bai Shu left, the box automatically returned to its original state, waiting for the next opening.
At this moment, Bai Shu suddenly realized something. He stopped and carefully looked at the arrangement of these boxes.
If the seventh level of the Xiaoshu Pavilion was set up by Master Taixu himself, then the things in it should also be left by Master Taixu, just like that bamboo slip.
The character of the killing is obviously not the Taoist method left by the ancestor Taixu. It does not belong to one of the six great talismans of Taixu Temple. This is a talisman created by later generations.
This means that this second box is not prepared for the killing characters.
But now the killing character is placed there, what is the original thing in the box? Where did you go?
With these questions in mind, Bai Shu opened the third box in the small book pavilion.
There was a sword lying in the third box. What Bai Shu felt most unbelievable was that he had seen this sword with his own eyes.
It was a sword made of paper, with a head and a tail, and a guard. It was exactly the same as the sword that the Sword Sect leader folded out of paper when he was in the Sword Sect when he was in the Sword Sect. However, the sword that the Sect leader at that time was white paper, and the paper sword lying in the box now had a slightly reddish color.
Otherwise, Bai Shu would even think that the paper sword that turned into powder under the extreme obstacle of his enhanced version of the Thousand Sword Formation that day did not drift away with the wind, but was taken to the small book pavilion and put it on.
It also has something to do with the Sword Sect. Whether it is the two sword-washing pools that are far away, the Taixu Houyuan, the sword moves like the Zhongtian sword technique in the Sword Sect, or the paper sword that has appeared in the Sword Sect and Taixu at the same time, it all means that Taixu Temple and Dongluo Sword Sect have a close connection.
What did Taixu’s ancestor go to the Sword Sect to find his grandfather’s mother-in-law? What kind of bet did the two make? Where did Taixu’s ancestor go after building the sword washing pool? Why did the grandfather’s ancestor disappear with Taixu’s ancestor? Did she finally go to Xiansheng Island?
No one can give Bai Shu the answer, and Bai Shu doesn't think he can finally reveal this secret.
There has been only Xiaobai in the world who has survived since that era. She doesn’t know it, and Bai Shu is even more unlikely to know it.
But Bai Shu still remembers the power of the sect leader's paper sword. It has no spiritual power. Just paper with the sword intent of the Sword Sect can pierce Bai Shu's enhanced version of the Xuji barrier under the blessing of the Three Daoshan characters.
Not to mention that the sect leader must have shown mercy to Bai Shu. Bai Shu still has no clue about this kind of attack without spiritual energy but simply relying on sword intent. However, the paper sword that the sect leader folded out is so similar to the one lying in the small book pavilion, which makes sense.
Maybe next time Bai Shu goes to the Sword Sect, he can ask the sect leader about this matter, but now Bai Shu is alone, so he naturally wants to study it himself first.
Bai Shu took out the slightly red paper sword from the box and placed it in his palm. He looked at it carefully, but soon Bai Shu discovered that there was nothing unusual about this paper sword except for the hard paper.
Bai Shu thought of taking it back and showing it to Ye Taoling. With Ye Taoling's understanding of swordsmanship, maybe she could see something or she would know.
The owner and the blind mother-in-law only told Bai Shu not to touch the bamboo slips, without any other explanation, so Bai Shu carefully put the paper sword into his arms and took it for himself.
After the third box, there were countless boxes, but the box behind it was surrounded by a trace of lilac silk threads, tangled like lightning, protecting the boxes from being opened.
Bai Shu walked back for a long distance. These neatly arranged boxes seemed endless, but only the first three could be opened.
The seventh floor of the small book pavilion is so tightly guarded that it is impossible for these boxes to hold some irrelevant things, at least they are things as precious as the killing characters and cannot be easily touched by ordinary disciples.
Bai Shu couldn't imagine the value of the things that were stored in the countless unopened boxes behind, but Bai Shu knew that he had been in the Xiaoshu Pavilion for a long enough time.
The killing character line was engraved in Bai Shu's heart. At the same time, Bai Shu also harvested a sword made of paper and guessed some things. The harvest this time had far exceeded Bai Shu's expectations.
Leaving the seventh floor of the Xiaoshu Pavilion, Bai Shu met someone unexpectedly when he went downstairs.
Wu Shaobai was wearing a white dress, like the first time he went up the mountain, carrying luggage, like a wandering child from home, but he seemed like a handsome young man in a turbid world, with a heroic spirit.
When Bai Shu ran into Wu Shaobai, he was stuffing a book into the bookshelf of the small book pavilion. When Wu Shaobai saw Bai Shu, he was extremely surprised.
Bai Shu asked Wu Shaobai with some dissatisfaction: "You are going to run down the mountain without saying a word. Are we worried about you?"
Wu Shaobai has always been cold, but at this moment, facing Bai Shu's questioning, a hint of shame flashed across his face.
After all, Bai Shu and others treated him well, so it was really inappropriate to leave without saying goodbye.
Wu Shaobai apologized: "I went out for a while and left a letter to you, but I didn't expect to meet you here."
Bai Shu shook his head and sighed, "Are you here to return the heaven to hide?"
Wu Shaobai nodded slightly and looked at each other with Bai Shu, adding a bit of bitterness to his smile.
Xiaoshuge is the place where the friendship between the two began. Bai Shu didn't want this place to witness the breakdown of their friendship again.
Because you never know what will happen in the future. Some people have just separated and reunited, while some people have separated and may not have a chance to reunite in their lives. Bai Shu felt this way when he looked at Wu Shaobai at this moment.
Bai Shu wanted to speak a few times, but when he finally spoke, he just said: "At least you have to tell me where you are going and when you will return!"
Only with your destination and return date can you be guaranteed a little, at least you know where to find him and when should you find him.
Wu Shaobai hesitated: "I'm not sure, I won't stay in one place for too long. I'm going to find an answer."
Bai Shu naturally didn't understand, so he could only guess: "You won't go to find those strange spirits." In Bai Shu's heart, Leng Shanshan must have left a deep impression on Wu Shaobai. Wu Shaobai wanted to take revenge.
"Not necessarily. If you encounter it, you will definitely seek justice." Wu Shaobai seemed not to take this matter to heart.
"Then what answer are you going to find?"
Wu Shaobai frowned and said, "I can't explain it clearly, but I can tell you that it is related to Tianzang, maybe I won't die."
Bai Shu was silent for a long time. Thinking of what the blind mother-in-law said, he knew that the only thing he could do was to support every decision Wu Shaobai made. So Bai Shu patted Wu Shaobai on the shoulder and said, "Then go, I'm in the temple, and I will naturally take care of Xu Muling."
After Bai Shu said that, he took out a few painted talismans from his arms and handed them to Wu Shaobai. There was even a killing character among them, which was painted by Bai Shu using advanced talisman materials prepared by Chang Yue for him.
"You can use it by stimulating spiritual power. If you take me with me, I'll feel more at ease." Bai Shu said.
Wu Shaobai did not hesitate and took it over and put it away. He looked at Bai Shu deeply, turned around and walked down.
Bai Shu grabbed Wu Shaobai's arm and said seriously: "We must be back, right?"
Wu Shaobai nodded and said, "I will definitely come back, regardless of life or death."
Bai Shu laughed and scolded Wu Shaobai and punched him in the chest, saying, "You can only live. If you die, don't come back!"
Wu Shaobai tightened his luggage and said without looking back: "Okay!"
His tone was as casual as promised to meet his friend later, but his back was so lonely. Sometimes Bai Shu admired Wu Shaobai very much because Wu Shaobai chose to bear all the problems alone, and he chose to bear it himself.
Bai Shu himself often has times of being fragile, and in some situations, Bai Shu would show his fragile side to others, such as when he told Dong Seling what he asked him pitifully in front of the sect leader, whether he wanted Ling Wener to accompany him for the rest of his life, was he too greedy?
But Wu Shaobai doesn't know. He can only say whether it is life or death or only say a good word, that is destined. He will be more difficult than ordinary people.
Chen Ci left, Wu Shaobai also left, and the two men who knew Bai Shu the best in Taixu Temple left one after another. Bai Shu knew that he would eventually leave Taixu Temple one day.
The moon has a shortage, and people have a separation, which is something that cannot be changed. But Bai Shu doesn't want to end up. These familiar people leave themselves one by one, and it will be difficult to return to the previous relationship.
But being unwilling is one thing, but actually another. Bai Shu always feels that he will not have a good ending, and the people around him will be more or less affected due to his own reasons.
But when you open the bow, you don’t turn back, and you can’t return to the world when you die. As time goes by, everything will have an answer.
When Bai Shu went down to the first floor of the small book pavilion, he found that the blind mother-in-law was still sitting there, still not resting, and the distant eastern sky outside the door had already faintly revealed the white belly of the fish.
Bai Shu said apologetically: "Mother-in-law, I'm so sorry that you didn't have a rest all night."
The blind mother-in-law waved her hand and said, "For me, there is no difference between night and day, so naturally there is no need to rest. The small book Pavilion closed at night to let you children rest."
Bai Shu didn't care whether her mother-in-law could see her or not, so she bowed to her and showed respect.
Before leaving, Bai Shu asked again: "Mother-in-law, do you know about the matter of the Cang Reincarnation Pavilion?"
The blind mother-in-law said: "Entering reincarnation is not a smart decision."
Bai Shu smiled and said, "I must be a smart person either."
