Chapter 32 – Mistakes in the Confusion

“To secretly harm?” Gu QIanxue glanced at those people.

The three people who bent their heads low down to discuss amongst themselves found Gu Qianxue’s line of sight and quickly pretended to act nonchalant.

Gu Qianxue frowned slightly, “To forgive these few rats also cannot figure it out as they cannot catch the moth.”

Yu Lian nodded her head, though her eyes were still very much alert and wary.

Gu Qianxue found that, books on the first floor were basically just about chinese history, culture and politics, then raised her head and eyes to look at the second floor, it is assumed that library at the Haolan Academy is not good as is the one of the modern library, and has a classification of various books.

Unfortunately, there is no such classification index as a modern library.

Fortunately at Haolan College, there were many children at the school, some of whom they were in sky-blue uniforms, standing beside the bookshelves and waiting to serve their guests. Others come and go while reading in the lounge area, and with one eye, the children can be summoned; Of course, there are also some schoolboys who act as waiters serving tea and water for guests.

Just at this point, a schoolboy comes from the side, “Miss, do you have any needs?”

Gu Qianxue’s eyes began to look a little lower: “This little brother, might I ask where are the books on medicine at, in this Haolan Academy?”

“On the fifth floor, please come with me.” He said so and took a step forward in leading the way.

Just as she was about to go up the stairs, Gu Qianxue suddenly stopped, and told Yu Lian and Yu Cui, “You should not understand these medical books, you should stay on the first floor to read history books, you should seriously look, and take the examination tonight. If there is no clue, don’t say that this young miss would really cut your salary.”

In order to get the two to take it seriously, Gu Qianxue was serious and showed no sign of joking.

Both were terrified, nodding like a melee, and immediately ran to look for a book, when Gu QIanxue turned around- she secretly smiled at the sight and followed the boy to the fifth floor.

After chatting with the schoolboy guiding the way, Gu Qianxue learned that the first floor, the second floor and the third floor are all historical Chinese books, in other words, they are all books that can be used for the examination of the imperial civil service examinations, and have a lot of visitors, so they are placed on the first floor and the second floor for easy borrowing.

On the fourth and fifth floors, there are books on tools. There are also books on construction, agriculture and medicine and so on.

In Nanyue County, the children of all families were proud of being an official, and naturally they would not learn from the workers, farmers, and forestry doctors, but the children of poor families who really learned the workers, farmers, and forestry doctors could not afford to pay for the first time, so there were very few people who would visit on the fourth and fifth floors.

When the two reached the fourth floor, some people called for the schoolboy, who had not finished his work guiding the way yet, but could only apologize for leaving first, and replaced another schoolboy to lead the way.

Ever since she stepped on the fourth floor, Gu Qianxue’s eyes were attracted by the books that surrounded like walls around her, and she has vowed that it would be great to come here and read books whenever she has time.

“We’ve arrived, Miss Gu.” The schoolboy said.

Gu Qianxue nodded and turned back to see two tiny, black wooden doors. The wooden door is emblazoned with relief, like a venomous beast, and it is so beautiful that it blows a thread of cool air from the inside of the door, and the cool air carries a certain aroma.

The aroma is refreshing, and is neither like a dragon-mouth masculine nor as tender as a flower. The scent enters through the nose and travels through the veins of the body, so that people can’t help but sniff deeply.

The moment Gu Qianxue’s entire person just entered past the entrance, the black door was then automatically closed.

There was a feeling of waking up suddenly and being in danger.

Looking around, Gu Qianxue discovered that the area was covered with screens, stacked on top of each other, and that there was a scent between the screens.

Looking up, it’s the ceiling, but it’s a moment of smoke, and nothing else can be seen.

When Gu Qianxue turned back to the door, she found that the beautiful wooden door of the pure black sculptor had disappeared, and there was nothing but smoke.

Did I cross again?

This was the first thought in Gu Qianxue’s mind.

But when she saw the unchanged screen, she rejected the idea inside her mind, and she should still be in the room before her.

Except for the faintly visible screen, it was covered by smoke, which seemed to be getting thicker and thicker.

That’s weird.

Gu Qianxue was holding a medicine box in her hand, standing on the spot and thinking carefully with her eyes in mind.

She has long been afraid to think about things in the usual way, and when that happens, her worldview has been upended. Today, she has to jump out of her old inner circle and try to think differently.

“The Battle Array?”

Two(three) words, she spit them out of her mouth. The place remained the same, and the scenery around it changed, as if it were to stop her from moving forward and as if she were trapped in place.

She really didn’t think of any other reason than the method.

She doesn’t know that even in modern times, the magic of the array is being passed on to the gods.

Looking around, Gu Qianxue can be sure that no matter how big the Haolan Academy was, it would not be limitless at this time, and the screen and the thick fog were just a barrier to eyes, so if you wanted to go out, you just had to keep your eyes closed and work hard. When you close your eyes, you’re not fooled by the blindfold, and you would want to go out.

Thinking about this, Gu Qianxue closed her eyes, turned around, imagined that the black wooden door would be behind her, and walked away with her legs lifted. When she reached for touch with the door, she felt empty and opened her eyes with horror.

Where’s the door?

She was sure that when she entered the door and found something was wrong, she didn’t move a step, why couldn’t she reach the door? Can’t the gate just disappear? Can’t run.

Suddenly, Gu Qianxue realized something, squatting on the floor, reaching for the floor.

Yes, it’s indoors, covered by smoke, even if people don’t move but the floor moves, the result is the same.

She’s really stuck here.

Thinking about this, Gu Qianxue slowly sat on the floor because she was prepared to be trapped, first of all, to save her physical strength, never to use her physical strength, and so on to help. It’s like being trapped in an elevator.

She didn’t worry about being trapped here. First, Su would help her get a medical book, and she would find her after she got it. She only went to Haolan College, but there was no record of Haolan College. Then Su would try to find her.

Second, Yu Lian and Yu Cui will seek and find for her, and if they don’t find her, they will certainly find her here sooner or later.

When people are short of water, they can stock up for five to seven days, and she has to give Shopkeeper Su or Yu Lian and Yu Cui. Instead of wasting physical strength in this inexplicable array, she should try her best to hold on for a period of time.

Of course, if there’s a voice around her, she’ll try to help.

She decided to open the medicine box she was carrying, check for the drugs she had in it, and when and what to use to keep her life.

After she did as she had planned, Gu Qianxue breathed slowly, and then calmed down, and she vacantly spoke to the air in the atmosphere around her, “Is there anyone there? It’s my fault that I broke into the treasure house by accident. I came here to borrow books from Haolan Academy. It’s no surprise. If you can hear my voice, please give me a response. Thanks.”
