Chapter 213
"As long as you cooperate obediently, I will not make things difficult for you." Liu Xing said.

Hua Yingxue looked at the long sword and scimitar in his hand, and frowned slightly: "What exactly do you want?"

Liu Xing said bluntly: "It's very simple, you take off your clothes quickly."

"Take off your clothes?" Hua Yingxue's face changed suddenly, and she subconsciously put her hands on her chest, "Don't think that if you save my life, you can mess around!"

Liu Xing said: "It is for your own good to let you take off your clothes. You are now a wanted criminal in the restricted area, and the police are arresting you. Can you do it without changing your clothes?"

Speaking of this, Liu Xing picked up a brown coat he had just stolen, threw it over, and said, "Hurry up and take off your clothes, and put on this new set of clothes."
Hua Yingxue was startled, realizing that she had misunderstood Liu Xing again.

"The clothes seem to be worn by men, right?" Hua Yingxue looked at the brown coat and found it was a tiger fur coat.

"I can't find any women's clothing nearby, so you'll have to settle for it." Liu Xing explained.
Hua Yingxue didn't say anything more, stood up and walked to the grass beside her, and changed her clothes carefully.

3 minute later.

When she came out again, Hua Yingxue was already wearing a brown tiger fur coat. This was the first time she was wearing men's clothes, so it was somewhat awkward.

Liu Xing glanced at Hua Yingxue's body, the rough lines of the tiger skin coat were incompatible with Hua Yingxue's soft and beautiful figure, especially her thin and tender melon-seeded face, which could not conceal her essence of being a woman at all.

"Looks like I need to put on some makeup for you."

"What makeup?"

"Pretend you to be a man."

"..."
In order to prevent Hua Yingxue from moving around, Liu Xing touched her acupuncture points, and then began to paint and paint on her face, putting on fake beards, drawing eyebrows, and smearing black oil.

"All right."

After tossing for a few minutes, Liu Xing unlocked Hua Yingxue's acupuncture points, and then handed her a mirror.

"Ah!" Seeing herself in the mirror, Hua Yingxue was shocked.

In the mirror, I saw a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a little dark skin, and a mustache, just like a man.

"How...how did I become like this?" Hua Yingxue couldn't believe it, she didn't expect Liu Xing's makeup skills to be so superb.

"Basically no one can recognize you as Hua Yingxue from your appearance now." Liu Xing reminded, "However, your voice is a flaw, so try to speak as little as possible."

Hua Yingxue nodded, remembering something, and said: "Thank you for helping me, but I still have to go to the library in the dungeon. Only by getting the forbidden book in the library can I save my sister..."
"I just went to the library in the forbidden book area, and the forbidden book is already in my hand." Liu Xing took out two books from his arms, one was "Dugu Nine Swords" and the other was "Sunflower Reading" Technique".

The people from Alcatraz sent people to sneak into the forbidden book area this time, one of the purposes was to find the forbidden books in the forbidden library.Now it seems that the forbidden books they are looking for are probably "Dugu Nine Swords" and "Sunflower Reading Technique".

"Have you found all the forbidden books?" Hua Yingxue immediately suggested with a happy face, "Let's hurry to the Riyue Peak north of the forbidden books area."

"What are you going to do at Sun Moon Peak?"

"People from the Golden Gun Organization told me that as long as you get the forbidden book, you should immediately go to a mountain called Sun Moon Peak in the north of the forbidden book area. After arriving, someone will take us out of the forbidden book area."

The forbidden book area is completely enclosed, and people inside cannot get out at all.There was an explosion in the dungeon in the forbidden book area last night. The police are already looking for Hua Yingxue, Ouyang Wen, Wu Guoqian and others. Now it is even more difficult to leave the forbidden book area.
"Does Riyue Peak have a secret way out of the forbidden book area?"

"Should be, we'll set off right away."
After discussing, Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue packed up, left the woods by the coast together, and headed north.

The forbidden-book area is a vast island, and the dungeon is just a castle on the east coast of the island.Outside of the dungeon, there are many towns, and many people live in the towns.
Passing through the woods, a quaint small town appeared in front of it.

The small town looks like an ancient town. There are many old shops on both sides of the street. Walking on the bluestone road, you can see red bricks and green tiles, pavilions and cornices, and horse-drawn carriages pass by from time to time. Liu Xing can't help but feel a sense of The illusion of time travel to ancient times.

However, the people in the ancient town wear modern clothes and speak modern languages.

Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue were walking on the ancient street. The street was very lively and there were many tourists, but the tourists here seemed a little weird.

Some tourists are wearing weird clothes, some tourists are playing performance art on the street, and some tourists are running naked...

Liu Xing inquired and learned that most of the tourists in this small town are prisoners in the forbidden book area.

Most of the prisoners in the forbidden book area are scholars who like to read forbidden books. The thinking of these people is somewhat different from that of ordinary people.Simply put, these people's psychology is somewhat abnormal or distorted.

Perverted scholars who are seriously ill will be imprisoned in dungeons.And some perverted scholars whose condition has improved have the opportunity to go out to the town outside the dungeon to play, which is equivalent to letting go.

After learning this information, Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue avoided the tourists on the street, they didn't want to deal with this group of perverted scholars.

Except that the tourists are a bit perverted, the ancient street is quite pleasing to the eye. It is like an ancient commercial street, with all kinds of shops: restaurants, inns, gambling houses, and brothels... …

If it wasn't for the mission, Liu Xing really wanted to take a stroll.

After walking on the ancient street for more than ten minutes, Liu Xing suddenly stopped in his tracks because there was a special storefront on the left side of the ancient street that attracted his attention.

This is a two-storey storefront. A 5-meter-high flagpole is erected at the entrance of the store. A large blue flag is flying on the top of the pole. A lion with teeth and claws is embroidered on it, which is particularly eye-catching.

On the vermilion lacquer gate of the shop, two copper nails the size of teacups gleamed with golden light, and a plaque was hung on the gate, with four gold lacquer characters written on it - Fuwei Bookstore!

"Fuwei Bookstore?"

Seeing these four words, Liu Xing immediately thought of another place name: Fuwei Escort Bureau.

Fuwei Escort Bureau is a sect in the martial arts novel "Swordsman", created by Lin Pingzhi's great-grandfather Lin Yuantu, once relied on the 72-way "evil warding off swordsmanship" to shock the world.

"Is there any connection between this Fuwei Bookstore and the Fuwei Escort Bureau in "Swordsman"?"

Liu Xing thought to himself that the reason why he had such a strange association was mainly because the ancient town in front of him was a bit strange. If modern tourists were replaced by ancient people, it would almost be a world of martial arts.

In the forbidden book library of the dungeon, Liu Xing discovered "Sunflower Treasure" and "Dugu Nine Swords". All signs indicate that the island in this forbidden book area seems to have a subtle relationship with "Swordsman".
"Where is this ancient town?"

Out of curiosity, Liu Xing decided to enter Fuwei Bookstore to have a look.

Fuwei Bookstore is like an ancient bookstore, where guests can not only eat and sleep, but also study here.

Walking into the first floor of Fuwei Bookstore, you can see a bald old man telling a book in the center of the hall. More than 100 tourists gathered around, drinking wine and listening to the bald old man telling stories.

Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue came to a table in the corner and sat down.

As soon as the two of them were seated, the bald old man in the lobby began to speak.

"Last time we said that there was a big explosion in the dungeon in the forbidden book area, and a big hole was blown out in the dungeon bathroom."

The bald old man stroked his long white beard and said with a smile, "I believe everyone here already knows this news, but I'm afraid not many people know the inside story of the explosion, right? I'll tell you about it today." Let me tell you the story of the dungeon in the Forbidden Book Area. A long time ago, this dungeon actually had a very nice name, 'Meizhuang Dungeon'..."

"Meizhuang Dungeon?" Liu Xing's heart moved slightly. Meizhuang Dungeon is a place name in "Swordsman".

"What Meizhuang dungeon? I've never heard of it! Old man, are you talking nonsense?" A customer booed.

The bald old man smiled and said: "It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it, because it was hundreds of years ago. At that time, Meizhuang was located on the edge of the West Lake, and there was a dungeon in the village that went straight to the bottom of the West Lake. This dungeon is now the dungeon in the Forbidden Book Area..."

"Old man, don't talk nonsense!" Another customer interrupted, "There is flat ground around the dungeon, how can there be any West Lake?"

The bald old man smiled slightly: "Hundreds of years ago, the West Lake existed, but it was buried and turned into flat land. The location of the West Lake is in the toilet where the explosion occurred in the dungeon. Back then, someone buried a large amount of explosives in the In West Lake, the explosion in the dungeon last night was caused by the explosives in West Lake."

Hearing this, many customers immediately became interested, and one customer asked again: "Why are so many explosives buried in the West Lake?"

"It's a long story. It is said that there is a secret passage under the West Lake, and there is a secret library at the end of the secret passage." The bald old man introduced, "In the library, there is a peerless book of reading skills, called It's called "Sunflower Treasure"..."

""Sunflower Treasure"? What is it, I seem to have never heard of it." A customer complained again, "Old man, you made it up, right? The name Sunflower Treasure is too frustrating, why not call it Chrysanthemum Treasure!"

As soon as this remark came out, it caused a lot of laughter from the surrounding customers.

The bald old man didn't care, and continued to say with a smile, ""Sunflower Treasure" is a wonderful book. It was compiled by a eunuch in the palace. The book introduces an ancient and modern reading technique called Sunflower Reading skills. This kind of reading skills can realize the "integration of human and book" and reach the highest state of ecstasy. Whoever learns the "Sunflower Treasure" will definitely become No. 1 in the world! In order to compete for this "Sunflower Treasure", the ban-book There was a bloody battle in the district that year, countless capable men and strangers killed each other, blood flowed like a river, it was too horrible to look at."

After a pause, the bald old man took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and continued, "At that time, there were rumors that the "Sunflower Treasure" was hidden in Fuwei Bookstore, so Fuwei Bookstore became the target of crusade by people from all walks of life. Because Fuwei Bookstore never handed over the "Sunflower Treasure Book", it was finally destroyed. All 37 members of the Fuwei Bookstore family died tragically. Only one young man survived. No one knows the name of this surviving man First name, I only know that his surname is Lin."

"My surname is Lin?" A customer rolled his eyes, "Isn't it the same surname as Xiaoyao Ke, the book king? Old man, you don't mean to say that the "Sunflower Treasure" was taken away by Lin Xiaoyao, the book king?"
The bald old man didn't answer, and continued: "After Fuwei Bookstore was wiped out, in order to avoid similar disputes, someone buried the "Sunflower Treasure" in the dungeon of Meizhuang in West Lake, and filled it with a lot of explosives. Who If you dare to dig the dungeon, you will be blown to pieces. Since then, "Sunflower Treasure" has disappeared from the world, and the forbidden area has returned to peace. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed. What happened that year These things have long been lost in the long river of history, and no one knows."

After a pause, the bald old man smiled and said, "Until last night, there was another disturbance in the peaceful world. The explosives buried at the bottom of the West Lake were ignited, and a big explosion occurred in the dungeon. Now the Jianghu! The so-called 'mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings', a more bloody Jianghu catastrophe has come!"

Hearing this, the faces of many people in the hall suddenly became a little dignified. The story told by the bald old man was so realistic that they couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

A customer asked: "Old man, are you making these up?"

The bald old man smiled: "If you pretend to be true, then it's true. When you pretend to be false, it's also true. After the explosion in the dungeon, an old bookworm successfully escaped from prison. The name of this old bookworm is 'Fengmanlou'. This Feng Manlou is no ordinary person."

"Fengmanlou? Who is he?" Many customers were curious at the same time.

"Okay, that's all for today. If you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next chapter." The bald old man waved to everyone, then got up and left.

"Crap! The key point is missing! Old man, I'm not as deceitful as you!"

"It's too shameful, isn't it keeping me awake tonight?"

"Sister, broken chapter dog!"

……

Amidst a series of complaints, the guests left one after another, and many of them were still discussing the topic of "Sunflower Treasure" and the dungeon of Meizhuang.

"There's something wrong with this bald old man!"

Liu Xing frowned slightly. The story the bald old man just told was obviously related to the martial arts novel "Swordsman". Could this old man have read "Swordsman"?
In order to find out, Liu Xing decided to ask the bald old man face to face.

The bald old man is a special speaker of Fuwei Bookstore, and he usually lives in Fuwei Bookstore, so Liu Xing made a temporary decision to stay overnight in the bookstore with Hua Yingxue.
……

In the evening, Fuwei Bookstore.

In the first-class guest room on the second floor, the bald old man was sitting at the desk, concentrating on reading a novel with a blue cover.

Whoosh!
At this time, a black shadow flew into the room, and flashed past the bald old man's eyes like lightning.

"who?"

The bald old man shouted loudly, and just as he finished speaking, he saw a man in black already standing in the guest room, holding a novel with a blue cover in his hand.

The bald old man looked down, only to realize that the novel in his hand had disappeared.

"Who are you?" asked the bald old man.

Liu Xing ignored it, and glanced at the novel with the blue cover in his hand, only to see four words printed on the cover - "Swordsman".
