Chapter 18 Thousands of Two EldersIn the valley, until Hu Qian's voice faded away, the two gray-robed old men sitting cross-legged at the door did not respond at all, and remained silent like two stone sculptures. Seeing that his words received no response, Hu Qian did not speak again, but kept his fists clasped together and waited quietly there. Behind Hu Qian, Xiao Yun and others saw this scene, looked at each other, and had to bow and clasp their fists like Hu Qian, waiting for the gray-robed old man's response. After all, with Hu Qian's status in the outer courtyard of Canaan College, few people could be more noble than him. However, now in this mysterious library, Hu Qian appeared so respectful and polite, which was enough to show the horror of the elder guarding the library. The silent atmosphere lasted in the valley for nearly ten minutes before the two gray-robed old men who had been sitting cross-legged at the door of the library moved slightly. Immediately, two old men in gray robes raised their heads. Their eyes, eroded by time, looked at everyone, sweeping over Hu Qian and the others one by one, and finally stopping at Xiao Yun. Their gray robes trembled slightly, and a surprised old voice rang out, "Such a young kid actually has the cultivation of a great fighting master?" An old voice was heard, echoing in the silent valley, and clearly reaching the ears of Xiao Yun and others. "There is still the breath of beast fire on his body. It seems that the little kid is not only a great fighting master, but also a high-level alchemist. Am I right?" A gray-robed figure stared at Xiao Yun and said in a hoarse voice. Hearing that the gray-robed figure actually left Hu Qian's response behind and asked Xiao Yun a question, the others in the valley were startled, and then turned to look at Xiao Yun with envy. From Hu Qian's respectful attitude towards the two old men just now, it was not difficult to guess the terrifying strength of the gray-robed old men, and Xiao Yun could arouse a little interest in the two powerful old men. This treatment made the other four secretly envious. Although Xiao Yun was not expecting the question from the elders, he quickly reacted and bowed to the elders, saying, "I am Xiao Yun, and I am honored to meet you two seniors. You are right. I am not even ten years old today, but I am not only at the level of a seven-star great fighting master, but also a third-grade alchemist."
call! A powerful aura burst out from the two old men and spread in all directions. Xiao Yun and the others had no time to react and were about to be injured by the powerful aura. Fortunately, Hu Qian acted in time and also released aura to help Xiao Yun and the others resist. Hearing Xiao Yun's answer, the gray-robed figure was so shocked that he couldn't keep his composure and leaked out his aura, "At such a young age, he has such talent. It seems that a true dragon will appear in our Northwest Continent. Perhaps in a few decades, he will be able to reach the level of the dean..." A subtle voice was transmitted between the two old men. Xiao Yun and others who were far away could not hear the old man's muttering at all. Only Hu Qian, who had the strength of a peak Dou Huang, heard some of the words. "Little kid, do you have a master?" "Reporting to the two elders, I am the disciple of Huo Lie, the head of the Alchemy Department of the Outer Court." "Huo Lie, that kid, he really got a good disciple, what a pity, what a pity..." The two gray-robed old men sighed repeatedly, not knowing whether they were sighing that they had not met Xiao Yun earlier, or sighing that Xiao Yun had become Elder Huo's disciple. "It's the time and fate. With the little kid Xiao Yun here, Hu Qian, it seems that the top five this year are much stronger than in previous years." Hearing the old man's words, Hu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "In this case, please ask the two elders to unlock the space lock." In the attic, the two elders slowly stretched out two pairs of dry eagle-claw-like hands from their sleeves, and then slowly formed hand seals one by one. Xiao Yun and others could clearly feel that two powerful spatial fluctuations were constantly coming out from their palms, like waves. The invisible spatial fluctuations gradually dissipated, and suddenly, the space in front of Xiao Yun and others kept shaking, and a circle of ripples appeared like the surface of water. After a moment, the ripples stopped, and a spatial portal was slowly torn open from the space by an invisible big hand. "Come with me. Don't touch this space door. The energy contained in it will tear you apart in an instant, and even I can't save you." Seeing this door, Hu Qian gave instructions to the people behind him, and then walked in first. Xiao Yun and others hesitated for a moment, and then hurriedly followed Hu Qian in carefully. As soon as he stepped out of the door, Xiao Yun found that the scenery in front of him became much brighter, and even the previously blurry library became clearly visible. Obviously, they had entered the space lock. "Thank you very much, both elders." Standing outside the library, Hu Qian smiled and clasped his fists to the gray-robed figure. "It's my duty. No need to thank me." One of the old men responded, then lowered his head as before and ignored everyone. "Okay, now you can go in on your own." Hu Qian turned around and looked at Xiao Yun and the others, "Remember, in the library, no matter what you need, you can't force it. Everything depends on luck and strength. Because the surface of the things inside has a layer of energy membrane. If your hands can easily pass through the energy layer, then you can take the things inside." "If you can't get through the energy layer, don't use brute force. With your strength, you can't do anything about it. Instead, you will be injured by the energy. Every year, people enter the library, but many return empty-handed. No matter how many things you can take out, you can only take one out. If you are too greedy, you may end up with nothing." Hearing this, Xiao Yun and the others nodded repeatedly, indicating that they had remembered Hu Qian's advice, and then slowly walked towards the library. After walking along the bluestone stairs for a while, Xiao Yun and the others arrived at the gate of the library. They looked up at the ancient plaque. A feeling of desolation spread from the plaque, lingering in everyone's hearts for a long time. “Ahem..., go in. The door will only be open for half an hour. After half an hour, no matter whether you have obtained anything or not, you must come out immediately.” On the left side of the five people, an old man in a gray robe fluttered his sleeves slightly, and then the door that was originally tightly closed slowly opened with a creaking sound, revealing the dark passage inside. Xiao Yun, the leader, kept his mind focused, took a deep breath, and was the first to step into the library. The other four people hurriedly followed Xiao Yun and entered the library together.
After all five people entered the library, the open door slowly closed with a creaking sound. Looking at the door that was closed again, Hu Qian exhaled lightly, "I hope Xiaoyun won't be too ambitious and try to get what he needs." (End of this chapter)
