Chapter 40: Menglou's past
Chapter 40: Menglou's past
Joey is currently concocting pills according to the book given by Long Ai. He started by concocting the lvl 1 pills. Many herbs are inside these rooms, so Joey started conducting his research on concocting pills without any care.
That time, Tang Mie lien came out from the martial room. She had no interest in alchemy and weaponsmithing. So, directly enter the cultivation room. Inside the cultivation room, there are many cultivating mats here. She just sat on one of the mats and started her cultivation. The essence qi here is many times more than she ever felt before. She tried once taking the advantage of this vast essence, but she still failed. She stood up and observed the room. She saw two different arrays inside this room. Then, she started studying these two arrays while waiting for her brother.
After three days of studying, she came to figure out the two arrays. The first array is based on time law. It can manipulate the time of this room. The other array is a teleportation array. Maybe this array may be brought out of this place.
She waited for Joey for a month but Joey was still concocting pills. So, she wrote a letter and infused her qi into the teleportation array. Then, she vanished from the room.
Inside the apothecary room, Joey suddenly jumped up and laughed out loudly.
” Hu hahaha, I have refined a perfect lvl 1 pill.”
Then, he looked around the room. He saw that the room was filled with pills and a failed product. He then put all the pills inside his space ring and cleaned up the room. Then he left the room.
He doesn’t enter the weaponsmith room, instead enters the cultivation room. He found a letter inside the room.
” Zi Zi, left me a letter.” He then read the letter. It tells him that she is leaving. Also, tell him about the two arrays inside the room. What amazed him is that she wrote the letter in the dragon’s scriptures.
Afterward, he infused essence qi inside the time array. For a day outside, it will be 10 days inside the room. After that, he sat on one of the mats and started cultivating.

Inside the palace in Canon city, Menglou woke up from her dream. These days she often dreams of a strange place.
Aunt Bai quickly approached her and asked, ” Your highness, do you have another nightmare? “
Menglou stood up and said to her, ” Elder sister Bai, this time it’s different. The dream feels like a real one.”
” Your highness, can you tell me in detail? ” Aunt Bai asked with some worry.
” I need to do something to confirm my doubts,” Menglou murmured. Then, she ran out of her room.
Only Aunt Bai remained inside the room.
” After all these years, she begins to remember some of her memories. I need to quickly report this matter to my teacher.” Aunt Bai said to herself and left the room too.
Menglou is currently running in the street while remembering the dream like a flashback. The direction she approached is the forbidden zone of Canon city, the black dragon abyss. Sometimes later, she reached and stood before the entrance of the black dragon abyss. There are two royal guards standing there. Seeing that the royal consort came there.
They bowed toward her and spoke politely, ” Your highness, please go back. No one can enter this place without his majesty’s permission.”
Menglou was currently in a trance. She didn’t hear what they said to her. She continued walking inside it. The guards can’t do anything as they can’t force a consort to leave the place. So, they left guarding the place and moved toward the palace to report this matter completely.
Actually, the black dragon abyss was filled with arrays everywhere inside this place. If someone takes a wrong step inside this place then he or she will be dead for sure.
But Menglou just walked inside this place casually without activating any arrays. Then, she reached the center of the abyss. She saw a stone statue of a big black dragon. On the head of the stone statue, a crystal ball was there. On seeing the crystal ball, she heard a strong calling from it. So she approached it and touched the crystal. Then, suddenly the crystal entered her body and she fainted there. At that time, a light suddenly emitted from the stone statue and passed through the sky.
.
From somewhere inside the palace, aunt Bai is currently talking to an old man. He is none other than the father of Tang Zimo, the grandfather of Joey. His name is Tang Taizong.
” Master, she remembered some of her past memories.” Aunt Bai reports to him.
” Bai’er, don’t worry too much. She has already done too much for us. It’s her fate. Where is she now?” Taizong asked her.
” She ran toward the black dragon abyss. I have not stopped her as master ordered me before. I heard before no one could enter that place. Will she be fine?” She asked worriedly.
” For others, no one can enter that place. If I go inside that place,I may even die. But, for her, nothing will happen.” He said calmly. Then, he picks up the cup and drinks the tea inside it.
” How? Even master doesn’t dare to go inside.” She asked with some doubts.
” Bai’er, that is because she was the one who made the whole array inside that place. Or you may say she is the one who trapped that mad dragon using her own beast core.” The old man told her.
” Master, can you tell me the whole story of my sister Menglou?”
The old man nodded.
“Alright, alright. It was about 150 years ago. A black dragon suddenly appeared inside the canon city. It went berserk and started killing everyone that it saw. Then, every expert in the city came out and tried to subdue it but its strength was too much for them. I was also among these groups of experts. When we think, we will all die. Suddenly, another dragon with azure color and white stripes appeared and fought back fiercely. At last, that dragon used its dragon core to trap that black dragon and thus the black dragon abyss was formed. While that dragon turns into a small baby girl and hibernates inside the cocoon for a long time. After 120 years, a toddler came out from the abyss. I brought her up and named her Menglou.”
