Di Renjie still had a high fever, was confused and kept chanting "brother". Cao An therefore asked Li Miao to cook two more medicines. However, as soon as Li Miao left, a gust of wind blew open the door and scattered the old papers and books in the room. One of the albums with ghost patterns caught Cao An's attention. She recalled that Li Miao had described how Zhou Li claimed to have opened his heavenly eyes during his lifetime and could see innocent disasters and ghosts of wasted death.

When Cao An was flipping through the album, she felt like there were eyes staring at her, and she felt a chill in her back. Suddenly the door opened slightly, and the sandalwood that Di Renjie had entrusted Li Miao to deliver to Cui Haoran appeared out of thin air. Cao An relied on his memory to search all the way, and was almost discovered by the disciples in the hall, and broke into the hidden underground palace in panic.

The corridor of the underground palace was winding and winding. Cao An followed the candlelight to the end, pushed open the stone door, and saw a huge palace in front of him. Directly in front are various statues of gods and Buddhas, and opposite is the altar for worship. Just when Cao An was confused, Li Miao suddenly appeared and explained the whole story to her.

It turns out that Chaoyun Library was a Taoist temple in its early years, also named Chaoyun. Coincidentally, the current situation was turbulent. In addition to Taoist priests, the temple also took in many civilians and scholars. However, one night, a group of bandits broke into the Taoist temple and carried out a brutal massacre in search of the unnecessary treasure. At this point, Chaoyun Temple was completely abandoned and dilapidated, becoming a haunted house.

It was not until later that Cui Haoran came here by chance, renovated Chaoyun Temple, and placed the remains of the dead in the underground palace. Li Miao told Cao An that the underground palace was built to appease and worship the souls of the dead. He also believed that there were gods, Buddhas and ghosts in the world, so he believed that what Di Renjie saw was not an illusion. It was most likely the condensed anger of the dead and the scene was formed due to his own obsession. Cao An was frightened after hearing this and did not dare to stay in the underground palace for a long time.

When Di Renjie woke up, the sky was slightly bright, and Cao An was nowhere to be seen in the room. When he went out to search, he encountered several disciples who looked panicked, carrying the corpse and walking forward quickly. They shouted several times before they stopped. Cao An and Li Miao came from the side, and Di Renjie asked about the situation. Li Miao did not respond, but asked Cao An to explain the situation to Di Renjie.

Cao An described to Di Renjie Zhou Li's abnormal behavior before jumping off the building, including the man's footprints she found. Di Renjie learned that Sandalwood appeared at the door for no reason. Thinking of the child in white he saw when he was in a coma, he felt that there was a secret hidden in Chaoyun Library. However, Cao An was worried that the solar eclipse mentioned by Li Miao would arouse the ferocity of the dead souls and interfere with Di Renjie's mind. He persuaded Di Renjie not to delve into the matter, thinking that it might be caused by his obsession.

As soon as these words came out, both of them thought of Di Ying. Di Renjie insisted that the dead would not interfere with the living, so he spoke out of anger and mocked Cao An for forgetting Black Flame, but he would never let the other party interfere with him. Before Cao An could speak, Li Miao had already boiled the medicine and delivered it. Di Renjie silently took the medicine bowl and ignored Cao An.

After Cao An fell asleep, Di Renjie searched for clues in Chaoyun Library. He first visited Cui Haoran and found that there was no one in the room, but the huge tung oil jar next to it was extremely conspicuous. Since the disciples were patrolling nearby, Di Renjie was unable to investigate in depth. He could only go to the underground palace to look for clues according to Cao An's description. He saw a boy in white who turned around and looked like his brother. He then collapsed to the ground. , passed out.

At the same time, Cao An was awakened by the sound of broken earthen jars. He followed the sound and found that the medicine jar had been knocked to the ground and a small wooden sword was left beside the bookshelf. Li Miao asked his disciples to help Di Renjie back to the room. When he saw the overturned medicine jar, his expression was gloomy and unclear. Di Renjie was muttering about the wooden sword in his coma. Cao An quickly picked up the wooden sword and looked at it carefully. He noticed that there was a word "Wei" on it, and he instantly thought of the other half of the word that was blurred in Zhou Li's palm.
