Chapter 156 The Mysterious Ancient Book Reappears
The moonlight shines on them, illuminating their determined faces. They know that the road ahead is still long, but they will work together to continue writing their own legend.
In the ancient dynasty, peaceful days continued. One day, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were reading classics in the palace's library as usual, looking for more inspiration for cultural integration and innovation.
When Gu Qianning gently brushed away the dust on a dusty ancient book, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The yellowed pages and ancient text made her realize that this seemed to be inextricably linked to the mysterious ancient book they had come into contact with before.
She quickly called Chu Mohan over, and the two of them carefully examined the book they had discovered by accident.
"Mo Han, look, the handwriting and the pattern are so similar to the mysterious ancient book we saw before!" Gu Qianning's voice was full of excitement and nervousness.
Chu Mohan's eyes were fixed on the book, his expression focused, "Indeed, it seems that there must be important clues hidden in it."
They carefully turned the pages, and each line of ancient text seemed to tell a forgotten history. The book recorded deeper secrets about time magic, including some spells and rituals that they had never known.
As they read deeper, their faces became more solemn. It turned out that time magic was not just about traveling through time and space, it also contained a huge power that could change the course of history. But if this power was abused, it would bring unimaginable disasters.
"Qian Ning, we must treat these clues with caution." Chu Mohan frowned, looking worried.
Gu Qianning nodded, "I understand, but if we can use this knowledge correctly, perhaps we can bring greater benefits to the dynasty."
However, they did not know that the appearance of this ancient book was not accidental. Deep in the palace, pairs of jealous and greedy eyes had already been staring at them.
Those ministers with ulterior motives coveted the power of time magic and attempted to take it for themselves in order to realize their own ambitions.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan knew that they had to protect the ancient books and the secrets contained therein while preventing these clues from falling into the hands of bad people. So they decided to secretly transfer the ancient books to a safe place.
On a quiet night, they quietly left the palace with the ancient books. Along the way, they avoided patrolling soldiers and secret surveillance and came to a remote temple outside the city.
The abbot of the temple is a highly respected monk. He has known Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan for a long time and has complete faith in their character and mission.
"Master, please take good care of this ancient book." Gu Qianning solemnly handed the ancient book to the host.
The abbot clasped his hands together and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I will do my best to protect you."
However, their actions still aroused some people's suspicion. Rumors spread in the palace that Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan had stolen the national treasure and intended to rebel.
When the emperor heard about this, he was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan fell into an unprecedented predicament.
Facing the emperor's questioning, they argued and explained the reasons, but the emperor was deceived by the slander of the treacherous people and found it difficult to believe them for a while.
"Your Majesty, please believe us. This ancient book is related to the future of the dynasty and the safety of the world." Chu Mohan spoke earnestly.
The emperor remained silent and fell into deep thought.
At this moment, those ministers who coveted the power of time magic took the opportunity to add insult to injury and accused Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan of harboring evil intentions.
Gu Qianning was extremely anxious. "Your Majesty, we are loyal to the dynasty and have no other intentions."
At this critical moment, a loyal minister who had received favors from Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan stood up and spoke for them. He explained to the emperor the contributions the two had made to the dynasty and the sinister intentions of those ministers.
The emperor was finally persuaded and decided to give Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan a chance to prove their innocence and retrieve the ancient books.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were filled with gratitude and immediately set out to investigate the whereabouts of the ancient books. After a series of investigations, they finally discovered the conspiracy of the ministers.
It turned out that they planned to use the power of time magic in ancient books to falsify history and make themselves the masters of the dynasty.
Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan decided to stop the ministers before they could implement their plan. They worked closely with the loyal ministers and developed a careful plan.
On a dark and windy night, they led a team of loyal soldiers to raid the secret stronghold of the ministers. After a fierce battle, they successfully took back the ancient books and captured all the ministers who had evil intentions.
When they returned to the palace with the ancient books, the emperor praised them highly for their loyalty and bravery.
"I almost blamed you wrongly. From now on, I will trust you more." The emperor said with emotion.
