Su Yang looked at the passage that suddenly appeared under the statue.

"Is there such a place?"

Master Bao nodded.

"I discovered this accidentally. Just follow me."

Su Yang nodded, but he kept it in mind.

His hand seemed to be carelessly touching it.

Black spells appeared on the place he touched.

Then the black spell gradually dissipated.

With this thought in mind, he followed Mr. Bao into the secret passage.

You can't see your fingers in this deep secret passage.

Together they groped the wall on the side and groped forward.

Not long after they entered, the door closed on its own from the outside.

Master Bao explained to Su Yang.

"The door of this secret passage is like this. As long as it is opened for a period of time, it will close by itself."

Su Yang nodded.

This secret passage was quite narrow, and after walking for about ten minutes, the entire space suddenly became clear.

The whole space becomes brighter.

Su Yang looked at the surrounding environment.

This seems to be a grotto.

The surrounding rocky cliffs are covered with some strange patterns.

Those patterns seemed to be telling a story that Su Yang couldn't understand.

Master Bao said.

"I don't know when this cave was formed. It has been here for I don't know how many years."

"When did you discover it?"

Su Yang asked.

After listening to Su Yang's question.

Master Bao thought for a while.

"That must have been a long time ago. At that time, I was still..."

"Okay, stop it. Since it happened so far ago, let's not talk about it. Let's talk about what's inside."

Su Yang interrupted him.

According to his experience, sentences that begin with "a long time ago" are generally very long.

Su Yang didn't want to hear what he said from the beginning.

Master Bao curled his lips and snorted.

"You can see what you will see later. Young man, be patient."

They walked through this long grotto together, all the way down.

I don’t know how long I walked.

It seemed like it was going into the center of the earth.

Su Yang felt that the surrounding temperature was already very hot.

There are some hot feet on the ground that I step on.

"How far is it?"

Su Yang asked.

Master Bao looked forward.

"It's right in front."

Su Yang looked forward, and indeed, there was a shining place in front of him, which looked like the bottom.

They came down from that high place together.

Came into this light.

In the light, I saw an ordinary space below.

There was only a table in the middle. On the table were a green lamp, a writing brush, and an open book that looked like it had a lot of ideas.

The book is densely packed with records.

Su Yang looked at it.

"This is!"

"Do you understand what it says?"

Master Bao looked at Su Yang in disbelief. Could it be that Su Yang was also a genius in linguistics?

You must know that even I spent most of my life researching a little bit of it.

Su Yang shook his head.

"I don't understand, what is this?"

Come on, I'm happy for nothing.

Although Su Yang couldn't understand what was written on the book, he looked at the words written on it.

He always had a feeling of déjà vu.

It seems that I have seen it somewhere.

Master Bao told him.

"This notebook is not supposed to be from our world. Did you see the brush next to it?"

Su Yang nodded.

Master Bao picked up the brush and dipped it in ink on the inkstone next to it.

Then he put the brush on the book.

A magical thing happened. There was no trace of ink where I put down the pen.

Su Yang looked at this scene, and a possibility emerged in his mind.

But he didn't say it.

Instead, he was waiting for Mr. Bao’s explanation.

Master Bao said.

"I suspect that this book may be from another world, or even that it is not here. What we see is just its reflection."

That's why this pen didn't end up in this book.

"When I first saw this book, it was only half a book, but now it has more than a dozen pages."

Master Bao said while flipping through the book.

Su Yang observed it and found that there was nothing else worth looking at except this book.

So where did this tunnel come from?

Su Yang felt a little strange.

"Then do you know what's written in this book?"

I only heard Mr. Bao reply.

"The names recorded on it are all people's names. As long as they are recorded, they are either dead or dying."

This is...the Book of Life and Death?

Su Yang looked at the book in front of him and couldn't believe it.

This thing in myth actually appears in reality?

He seemed to have thought of something.

Said to Mr. Bao.

"Master Bao, can you show me this book?"

Master Bao listened, nodded, and handed the book in his hand to Su Yang.

Su Yang turned forward.

Suddenly, he saw patches of marks scratched out by pens on the book.

This...this is...

Although Su Yang couldn't understand what was written in the book.

But judging from those scratches, this should be the legendary Book of Life and Death.

"Does this have my name written on it?"

Su Yang asked.

Since Mr. Bao said that he will be the next victim.

Then your name must be on it.

Master Bao nodded.

"Yes, although your name is blurry, it can still be vaguely distinguished. When the name becomes very clear, death will not be far away."

Su Yang still has some problems.

"Then is there any other information recorded on it? For example, how he died, or something else."

"Yes. Not only is the time and method of death recorded, but if someone was killed, they can even know who the murderer was."

So detailed?

Su Yang asked.

"Then who is the murderer?"

He pointed to a line of words on the book of life and death.

"It's him, but unfortunately, no matter what method I use, I can't decipher these phrases."

His expression looked a little disappointed.

If he could understand all the words in this book, then death would become a controllable existence for him.

"It is precisely because this book records that the cause of your death is the same as the previous victims, so I think you will be the next victim. Are you satisfied with this?"

Su Yang nodded.

"Okay, then as agreed, I will tell you what I know."

Su Yang told Mr. Bao what he inferred was the murderer's method of killing.

Although Mr. Bao doesn't believe that someone can be so rampant in the imperial capital and use supernatural powers to kill people.

But it is what it is.

he said softly.

"So that's it."

Su Yang nodded.

Now that Su Yang's doubts have been resolved, they are ready to leave from here.

As they turned and left the tunnel.

The brush actually started to move on its own.

Write the next name in the book.
