Kyushu · Endless Nagato

Chapter 31
An Xingmian looked up at the sky, "You know, I've always been a good-tempered person. The only few times I lost my temper in my life, they were almost always directed at you. But you know, every time I try to chase I'm leaving you, not because I hate you, but as a man, let people secretly protect me twelve times a day, I always feel like I haven't grown up yet, and I'm still a weak child, which hurts my self-esteem. But, listen After you agreed to the conditions you promised Xu Mizi, I understand a little bit, it's not because I'm too weak to protect myself, but because..."

He lowered his head and looked directly into Feng Qiuke's eyes again, "It's just because, to you, or some people behind you, I am too important, just like the emperor, I have to be protected by countless people. "

Feng Qiuke was shocked, and An Xingmian became more and more aggressive: "Do you still remember what happened when you went to my friend Bai Qianyun to find me? In fact, the probability of that mechanism being activated by him is probably no higher than One ten-thousandth, right? That’s probably because he accidentally slipped his hand... And today you did almost the same thing again, the difference is that you didn’t have to pay the price last time, but this time, you owed it to you for many years. Your old opponent bowed his head. You are such a proud person, I never thought that one day you would admit defeat, why?"

This series of questions left Feng Qiuke speechless.An Xingmian has a gentle temperament and doesn't like to persecute others like this, but once this suspicion arises, it will take root in her heart, and she really can't complain.

"Sorry, I don't like this, but I don't like being kept in the dark even more," he concluded.

Feng Qiuke let out a long sigh, with a very sad look on his face.He turned around, as if he didn't dare to look at An Xingmian, and he said after a long time: "I can only say sorry. I am more tired and upset than you on such a day, but I have no choice. All in all , take care of yourself, even if it’s not for the so-called secret, your life is always your own.”

He paused, and then said: "Xu Mizi is sinister and vicious, and his only advantage is probably to keep his promise. If you must ask about Nagato's matter to the end, then you should ask him."

This was quite a surprise for An Xingmian: "Why didn't you stop me?"

"Probably because of the guilt of cheating you," Feng Qiuke mobilized his mental power, and a blue arc flashed on his back, which was a sign that he had condensed his wings, "so even if there is trouble, even if it is to provoke Dong Lu I have to bear the emperor's troubles."

A dazzling blue light flashed, and then disappeared, replaced by a pair of wide white wings, shining with the white light of a pure-blood feathered man.Feng Qiuke flew up, and soon flew out of An Xingmian's sight.

An Xingmian watched Feng Qiuke fly away, and sighed softly.He has realized that he must be related to some huge secrets and involved in some very important matters, but Feng Qiuke keeps his mouth shut, and he can't beat Feng Qiuke to extract a confession—not to mention he can't beat him .Now I can only temporarily put this question aside, and first solve the answer I have been looking for: the truth about the emperor's pursuit of Nagato.

He collected himself, and went back to Xue Huaiqing first: "How about it, Xu Mizi is over there now, should you ask first or should I?"

"Go and ask first," Xue Huaiqing said, "he only promised to answer your question, but he didn't promise to answer mine. Moreover, for a person with a weird temper like him, if he thinks of me because of me Master, maybe you will feel restless or even get angry, then you will miss your business."

"Then thank you." An Xingmian nodded and walked towards Xu Mizi.Xu Mizi received Feng Qiuke's promise, and he seemed to be in a good mood, with a smug smile on his lips, and he spoke very briskly: "Boy, what do you want to ask? While I'm in a good mood, hurry up and ask."

"I want to ask my predecessors about a past event that happened 23 years ago, to be precise, the winter of Shengde's 20th year." An Xingmian said.

The smile on Xumizi's face disappeared in an instant, and a fierce hostility emerged from his eyes, as if he had completely changed himself.He narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "The winter of Shengde's 20th year... No wonder I think your spiritual power is a bit special. You are a long-door monk and you came here for the Tianzang sect, right?"

An Xingmian nodded calmly.Xu Mizi hummed, then suddenly stretched out his right hand, bent his five fingers, and grabbed An Xingmian's throat violently.This grasping move is sharp and fast, even compared with the first-class warriors in the Eastern Continent, it is not inferior. It can be seen that Xu Mizi can become the No.1 among the corpse dancers in the world, not only because of the corpse dance technique.An Xingmian thought even more, before Feng Qiuke said that his sneak attack would definitely not be able to do anything to Xu Mizi, it was really not a lie.Just looking at his shot, he may not be able to win.

But he turned his heart to one side, neither dodging, avoiding, nor blocking, but raised his head slightly, as if intending to expose the vital point of his throat.Xu Mizi's nails were almost touching An Xingmian's Adam's apple, but he stopped abruptly. His right hand hung in mid-air for a long time, and finally retracted slowly.

"What do you want to do, avenge those long disciple monks?" Xumizi said coldly, "Although I promise not to kill you, the premise is that you don't do anything to offend me. If you want to take revenge, you can Don't blame me for tearing you into pieces... No, your material is quite good, and you can make a very good secret technique type corpse servant."

Sure enough, this old monster has been used to being alone all his life, as long as he thinks of something that makes him happy, he will immediately forget everything else.At this time, his eyes began to look up and down An Xingmian, probably evaluating An Xingmian's "material", just like a brothel procuress choosing a new girl.

An Xingmian couldn't help laughing, and quickly replied: "No, in fact, although I am a long-door monk, I am not from Tianzangzong, let alone to avenge them. I don't even know what enmity they have with you. Woolen cloth."

Xumizi frowned, seeing that An Xingmian was not lying, "Then why did you ask me?"

"Because as far as I know, you are the last person who saw those long-door monks 23 years ago. I hope you can know a little about their secrets. This is almost my only hope." An Xingmian knew, A person like Xumizi who has eyes above the top hates others to lie to him the most, so he didn't hide anything, and explained in detail all the reasons why the emperor arrested the long-door monk in the whole territory.Xu Mizi's face softened a little after listening.

"It turned out to be for the secret kept by the Tianzangzong. I can tell you that," he smiled contemptuously, "It's just a bunch of old fools. But what they did was indeed a big deal, even I I don’t have the willpower to do things. Although I laugh at them, but at the same time, I also admire them.”

An Xingmian was stunned.He didn't expect that from the mouth of the proud Xu Mizi, he could say such words as "even I don't have the willpower to do it" and "I admire them".Judging from this, the secret of Tianzangzong may really be a shocking big secret. Even if this matter is not linked to Nagato's survival, his heart is still full of enthusiasm.

"But you are very lucky," Xumizi said, "If it wasn't for an extreme coincidence, even if I killed them, I wouldn't know their secrets at all. Your hard work in finding me might be the result of your efforts." What's more, I didn't know at the time that there was another fish that slipped through the net, so I only killed 29 people. If you killed all [-] people together, you wouldn't meet that person."

"I've always been lucky." An Xingmian smiled slightly, "Please tell me the truth."

Xu Mizi frowned slightly: "Accordingly, I can't tell you, because I have promised them to keep this secret. I have always been a person who keeps my promise. But now that Nagato is in trouble, I will tell you. It should be regarded as a big favor to them. Besides, you are also a long-door monk, um, let me think about it..."

An Xingmian didn't urge her, and waited quietly. Finally, Xu Mizi laughed loudly: "Actually, over the years, my subordinates have killed people without counting. The only people I can admire a little bit are probably those people. If they I’m still alive, so I’ll definitely save Nagato at all cost. Just for this, I’ve decided to tell you the truth, it’s a bit of compensation for them.”

"You really have a good time." An Xingmian also smiled, but in his heart he liked Xu Mizi's directness and straightforwardness, without any sloppy gestures.

"The truth, let's start with a legend...Have you heard of Longyuan Pavilion?" Xu Mizi asked.

"Longyuan Pavilion? Of course I've heard of it, who hasn't?" An Xingmian was taken aback again, not understanding the meaning of Xu Mizi's question.How could what Nagato did have anything to do with Longyuan Pavilion?

The three words Longyuan Pavilion represent the most mysterious existence on the mainland of Kyushu.It is a library, the largest and oldest library in Kyushu, but no one has ever entered it, and no one has even known where it is.In those ancient legends, Longyuan Pavilion was created by a dragon, but this is also not confirmed.

For thousands of years, all kinds of bizarre legends surrounding Longyuan Pavilion are too numerous to enumerate, and some people continue to claim that they have found Longyuan Pavilion, but such declarations have been proved to be nothing but false lies in the end.But what is also strange is that although no one has ever been able to produce evidence of the existence of Longyuan Pavilion, people have always believed in its authenticity.People firmly believe that all the books, all the knowledge and all the wisdom of Kyushu from ancient times to the present are hidden in Longyuan Pavilion, just like a vast ocean.People firmly believe that all unsolvable mysteries can be explained in Longyuan Pavilion.People firmly believe that there are hidden Longyuan Pavilion Xiuji everywhere in the land of Kyushu. They diligently collect every bit of knowledge and bring it back to Longyuan Pavilion.People firmly believe that the elders in Longyuan Pavilion are the smartest people in the world, able to see through the past and future of Kyushu.

Nagato himself also has a wealth of knowledge, but the process of collecting knowledge is arduous. For example, in order to obtain a useful ancient prescription, it may be necessary to travel all over Wanzhou, so An Xingmian sometimes thinks of Longyuan Pavilion, and also I'm a little envious, but that's all. After all, people can't pin their hopes on illusory legends.But now, Xu Mizi brought up Longyuan Pavilion alone, what is the reason?

"You have heard of Longyuan Pavilion, and you probably still yearn for Longyuan Pavilion, but after all, Longyuan Pavilion only exists in legends, and it cannot be seen or touched," Xumizi said, "But the Nagato of Tianzangzong Monk, since thousands of years ago, he has been secretly working on a colossal project—an unbelievably huge project.”

"...What kind of project?" An Xingmian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling as if she was enveloped in a tragic and distant atmosphere.

Xu Mizi's face showed a rare trace of respect, although the respect was still mixed with sarcasm: "They collected all the books of all ages, dug deep underground holes, buried books in them, and tried to build a world that belongs to the world and belongs to the world. Nagato’s own Ryuen Pavilion. There are dozens of such caves in Kyushu, roughly every few decades to 100 years are classified as an era, and each cave stores the treasures of an entire era. History and knowledge are priceless."

"If I'm not mistaken, this time they got into trouble, it probably started from these book caves."
