From the decoration of the pavilion, it could be understood that the sect greatly valued it in the past. Unfortunately, because of the ominous aura, the sect had to forsake it.
The Ghost Pavilion was not large in size, but it was very detailed; it could be praised as it was beautifully refined. However, the current pavilion was covered in dust and spider webs, as well as wild grass and weeds. Even the wild squirrels and birds considered this place their home.
Entering the pavilion, stepping onto the floor made out of ten thousand year old Jade Pine caused a creaking sound. In the midst of the atmosphere inside, a coward would be scared shitless; especially since there were sounds of bats scurrying rampantly, increasing the evil atmosphere.
“This place used to be an important ground of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, but unfortunately, it is completely deserted and ruined now.”
Protector Mo nostalgically said.
It was not just Protector Mo reminiscing, even Li Qi Ye’s heart was sighing softly. That year, on the long winding road of the Dao, before Immortal Emperor Min Ren carried the Heaven’s Will and his sweeping of the nine heavens and ten earths, inside this pavilion, Li Qi Ye used to teach the zither Dao to little Min Ren!
Regarding this story, when he was still the Dark Crow, he used to tease Min Ren for his worthlessness at playing the zither. If he had to become a zither performer for his livelihood, Li Qi Ye was afraid that he would starve to death.
Back in those days, Min Ren regarding Li Qi Ye’s ridicule, he also couldn’t do anything besides bursting into loud laughter.
Without Li Qi Ye’s command, Protector Mo and Nan Huai Ren busily cleaned the inside and outside of the Ghost Pavilion. After they were finished, the pavilion seemed a lot brighter, the dark atmosphere was partly swept away; however, even then, the pavilion still felt quite sinister.
After preparing all the daily essentials for Li Qi Ye, they reported back to Li Qi Ye.
After seeing the preparations from the two, Li Qi Ye gently nodded his head; he finally said:
“This is fine, however, I will sleep in the grand hall; there is no need to prepare a room specially for me. Also, Huai Ren, go bring me a zither.”
“Zither? What do you need a zither here for?”
Hearing Li Qi Ye’s words, Nan Huai Ren was surprised. Normally, very few cultivators would elegantly play the harp and watch the moon.
Li Qi Ye smilingly said:
“Over here used to be the Zither Pavilion with extremely beautiful sceneries. At night, to be able to enjoy the moon and play the zither, how wonderful is this matter?”
“Uhh…”
Nan Huai Ren couldn’t endure and gently whispered:
“Big brother, this place is the Ghost Pavilion. At night, there will be ghostly matters… Yo-you, you are still in the mood to play the zither?”
“Smelly brat, don’t ruin my mood; hurry up and go!”
Li Qi Ye, a thirteen year old boy, called Nan Huai Ren a brat, seemingly like an old grandpa, but Nan Huai Ren happily smiled and ran away.
At the moment when the two, master and disciple, were arranging matters, Li Shuang Yan also followed and especially observed this Ghost Pavilion. She carefully analyzed it, without letting go of a single detail.
Li Shuang Yan currently watched the four large pillars inside the grand hall, and she was in a daze. The four large pillars were made from ten thousand year old Jade Pine. After countless years of baptism, they were without any sign of deterioration. On top of that, each of these pillars were densely packed with veined patterns. Actually, not only the four pillars were covered with these patterns, the entire Zither Pavilion was covered in these patterns, but the pattern’s colors were very faint. If one did not focus, it was essentially difficult to see.
Li Shuang Yan, a genius with a Saint Fate Palace and Emperor Physique – no matter where she went, she would be the heaven’s proud daughter. As she watched these patterns, she immediately felt that they were extraordinary. A genius like her was meticulously analyzing, wanting to see through the mysterious truths inside. However, during her observation, she found that these patterns were not Dao runewords or magical incantations. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that there was a mystery indescribable by words inside.
“Do you see anything special?”
Li Qi Ye went next to her, and he comfortably smiled at Li Shuang Yan who was observing the patterns.
