Chapter 3802: Analyzing Text
"Xiao Ya, I'm going out. You can stay here, or you can go out for a walk, but you must remember the places I mentioned. They are forbidden areas in Dawn Villa."
Before leaving, Xiao Yi warned Xiao Ya that she was waiting for Yingluo. Yingluo promised her yesterday that she would take her out to enjoy flowers today.
"Don't worry, brother, you go and do your business, I'm an adult now."
Xiao Yi folded the paper. The third elder's residence was on the other side. It would take twenty minutes to walk there.
There are three wooden houses that have been built. The yard is surrounded by a fence and there are several trees planted inside. This is the residence of the third elder.
Apart from this word, Xiao Yi can't think of any other words to describe it.
"Third Elder."
Standing in the yard, Xiao Yi shouted, but there was no movement in the room. After shouting a few times, the situation was still the same.
So Xiao Yi used the power of his soul to investigate. The third elder was not in the room, and he was curious about where the old man went early in the morning.
He happened to see a servant cleaning up fallen leaves. Xiao Yi inquired and learned that the three elders did not come back all night last night.
I heard that I went to the Library Pavilion. As for where the person is now, the servants don’t know. After learning the news, Xiao Yi went there in person.
The library of Dawn Villa is located on the mountainside of a mountain. It contains many classics that record what happened here for hundreds of years, as well as anecdotes that happened in other places.
Yesterday, Xiao Yi and the third elder said that the only hope to rescue Suzaku was to find Hongmeng Qi. This Hongmeng Qi had never been heard of by the third elder before.
So he planned to read through the books in the library again. Maybe there would be some sporadic records in them, and maybe he could find some clues.
The third elder never closed his eyes all night long, lighting a dim oil lamp. All this was for his apprentice. He never regarded Suzaku as an outsider, but as his apprentice, and even more so as his granddaughter.
As long as he can save Suzaku, it doesn't matter even if he has to sacrifice his old bones. Suzaku is only in his twenties, and his life should not stop here.
Xiao Yi came outside the library, and the smell of sandalwood came. This library can be said to be the ancestor of Dawn Villa, where their hard work has been integrated.
It is built in such a place to prevent moisture and the books inside will not be damaged. Every time you enter the library, you need to change into the clothes here before entering. Keep it clean and don't make any noise.
Xiao Yi put on a set of cyan robes. It was the first time he wore such clothes. He was a little uncomfortable. He held the hem in one hand and crossed the threshold and entered.
Following the breath, I came to a desk. I saw the third elder sitting on a chair. The desk in front of him was filled with books one after another. Some of them had been read and placed aside. .
The third elder held his forehead with one hand, and an oil lamp burned to the end. When it went out, a wisp of green smoke came out. Xiao Yi stood here, unable to bear to wake up the third elder.
After not sleeping a wink all night, the third elder was a little exhausted, but he could still sense someone approaching. He sat up with support and saw Xiao Yi in front of him.
"Oh... Xiao Yi, it's you who are here. Do you have anything to do with me?"
The third elder's cloudy old eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. Although he was very tired, he was still holding on and continued to read the books in his hands.
"I went to your residence and my servant said you didn't go back all night. Could it be that you stayed here and read all night?"
"Yeah, I can't keep up with my energy as I get older. I thought I could read all the books in this library without sleeping for seven days in a row, but now I can't. I get sleepy after a long time."
Xiao Yi thought to himself, you don't even know how old you are. You will be over a hundred years old soon. There are not many old people with such spirit.
"Yesterday you told me that the only thing that can save Suzaku is to find the Qi of Hongmeng. I think there are many things recorded in the library, and maybe I can find some clues from them."
The third elder explained his intention and read the book all night, but still couldn't find any clues, not even the four Hongmeng Qi.
It is conceivable that the third elder thought highly of Suzaku. Xiao Yi wanted to persuade him to do everything according to his ability and it was important to take care of his body.
If it were him, he might be like the third elder, but he didn't say much. He took out the paper he had prepared from his arms and said to the third elder.
"I saw a few strange words in one place, and I didn't recognize any of them. I thought that because of your profound knowledge, you might be able to figure out what was written on them."
"Oh? Let me take a look."
Xiao Yi handed the paper to the third elder. The third elder took a look at it and immediately frowned.
The above was copied by Xiao Yi himself, but every stroke was very clear. Seeing these words, the third elder seemed to have thought of something.
"these are……"
He stood up and walked into the bookshelf behind him. If he remembered correctly, there was a book on the bookshelf behind him, and he had seen such words.
Searching according to my own memory, I found a yellowed book in the corner of the bookshelf. This book didn't even have a cover and had a few incomplete places.
"I found it. In this book, I saw the same words as what you wrote."
The third elder took the book to the desk and looked through it one by one to compare. Xiao Yi took a look and found that what the third elder said was right.
Some of the words were very similar to what he had copied. The third elder carefully read the content above. At the bottom of the book, there would be translated text, introducing the content word by word.
"This book records a war that broke out a thousand years ago. According to what is written above, the meaning of these words on the paper you gave me should be like this."
The third elder picked up a brush and wrote a few words on the paper. These words were originally marked place names, but they were disrupted by Xiao Yi.
"So these words mean that I have checked a lot of information, but I couldn't find the records of these words."
"The one who used these words should be a small country. This small country was destroyed by a war in the war years, so there will be no records about them in history in the future."
Fortunately, there is such a book in the Dawn Villa, which records the war that broke out that year and the existence of these words.
"Thank you, third elder, it turns out that I have found a place left over from history."
