Chapter XXVII
finally survived the vacation, and Zhong Hou couldn't wait to come to the library of Situ's family.
On the way to the library building, Zhong Hou really saw for the first time that the Situ family was heavily guarded, which could be described as three steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry. He went through at least ten or more times to verify his identity before he came to the door of the library.
Although the formalities were cumbersome, the process went smoothly, and after one last verification of identity and handing in the special token for the reward, I finally got the opportunity to stay in the library for a day.
There are only two floors in the library.
That's right, the small Situ family is not in the cultivation world at all, and it is impossible to have too many books.
Most of the books placed on the first floor are miscellaneous, including classical scholarship, biographies, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy and geography, literary works, business, medicine, general knowledge, etc., which are mainly used to help the children of the family get rid of illiteracy and improve their personal quality and knowledge, which is not helpful for cultivation at all.
The other few are the secrets of acquired cultivation, but they are only inferior.
The middle and top grades are placed on the second floor.
As for the few masterpieces that the Situ family has left, except for a limited number of people, no one knows where to put them.
Zhong Hou's reward did not qualify for the second tier.
Of course, Zhong Hou's goal is only the first layer.
He wanted to take this opportunity to have an in-depth understanding of the outside world, including the history of this world, including the general situation of the major sects and forces, including a detailed introduction to cultivators and the cultivation world.
Some things have been roughly mentioned in Zhou Bo's story, but they are only superficial and not too deep. Moreover, Zhong Hou was still young at the time, and he had not yet come into contact with the cultivation world, so he just listened to many things and didn't pay attention to them at all.
Therefore, if Zhong Hou wants to become stronger and want to take revenge, these basic information must be mastered.
But in the end, Zhong Hou was not satisfied.
The Situ family is only a small family in a remote corner, and the collection is very limited, and Zhong Hou only found a small part of the answers he wants to know from the books.
Anyang City is a small border town within the territory of Half Moon Mountain Villa.
The cultivation realm is divided into innate and acquired, and Half Moon Mountain Villa is a veritable cultivation sect, and all the official disciples in the sect are innate realms. Countless people want to enter the Half Moon Mountain Villa to cultivate, become a powerful cultivator, and become an immortal who is high in the eyes of ordinary people.
However, Half Moon Mountain Villa is very strict in accepting disciples, and a small family like the Situ family is not even qualified to participate in the selection.
If it weren't for a few acquired cultivation secrets, if it weren't for the remoteness of Anyang City, it would be impossible for the Situ family to become the soil emperor here.
The day after tomorrow is divided into one to nine layers, and any acquired cultivation secret can be cultivated to the consummation of the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow. The secret recipe is divided into four grades: lower, middle, upper, and peerless, and the level of grade determines the speed of cultivation and the subtlety of the moves.
There is no doubt that "Long Fist", as a secret of the acquired gem, can only help Zhong Hou cultivate to the ninth level of perfection the day after tomorrow, and it is impossible to go further.
Knowing this information, Zhong Hou frowned secretly, and his determination to leave Situ's house to go out for training was even firmer.
His enemy does not need to be doubted, he must be a congenital powerhouse, and staying in the Situ family, he can't even break through the congenital, how can he talk about revenge in the future.
In addition to this, Zhong Hou also saw an introduction to brute beasts.
Beasts are divided into beasts, brute beasts, and demon beasts.
Beasts are just ordinary brutes, and they are of the same rank as ordinary humans, and can be hunted by ordinary hunters.
Brute beasts correspond to the acquired nature of human beings, and although they do not know how to cultivate, their strength will increase with age.
Demon beasts correspond to the innate nature of human beings, have the consciousness of active cultivation, and can even open spiritual intelligence.
The brute beasts are divided into the initial stage, corresponding to the first, second, and third layers of humans. In the middle stage, it corresponds to the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers of human beings. In the later stage, it corresponds to the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers of human beings.
As for how to divide the demon beasts, there is no record in the books of the Situ family.
Brute beasts are accustomed to living in groups, and it is impossible for the acquired realm to hunt alone, so in the process of hunting brute beasts, they are dispatched in the form of team combat.
The result is often either the destruction of brute beasts or the destruction of human beings, which is dangerous and abnormal.
There are thousands of types of brute beasts, and there are even more types of demon beasts, and what is recorded in the Situ family's information is only a drop in the ocean. Despite this, Zhong Hou wants to read all the records recorded in the information, and it is basically impossible to do it for a year and a half.
Zhong Hou looked at it a little and put the information down.
After walking around again, there was no record related to the cultivation world and innate cultivators, Zhong Hou was very disappointed in his heart, but there was no way.
Zhong Hou was bored wandering around the library.
Everything that can be known is known, and there is no more information here, and Zhong Hou is not interested in other messy books. And only half a day has passed, and there is still half a day to go, so it seems a bit of a waste to leave like this, and I don't know what to do if I don't leave.
At this moment, Zhong Hou inadvertently walked to the bookshelf where geography books were placed.
Driven by curiosity, Zhong Hou decided to see where he lived in the mainland.
Although the maps covered millions of square kilometers in the books, less than one-tenth of them were marked.
There are signs including some cities, towns, villages, Songshan mountains, hills and lakes, where there are monsters, brute beasts and so on.
As for the unmarked part, it is either a forbidden place for human beings, these places are full of dangers, not to mention the Situ family, even the strongest people in the mainland dare not set foot easily.
Either it is the territory of a certain sect or a certain force, and the information of one's own territory is naturally impossible to flow out easily, let alone recorded in the books of the little Situ family.
Anyway, in a word, the places that the Situ family has not set foot in, and the books sold on the market are not recorded, all belong to the unknown area on the map of the Situ family.
There are no publishing houses or printing companies in this world, and the books in this world are basically written by countless ancestors over countless years.
The Situ family has a limited background, and it is not easy to leave so many classics.
In order to facilitate the future outing experience, and to be idle, Zhong Hou decided to memorize all the known parts of the map.
It wasn't until the bonus time was over that Zhong Hou finally confirmed that he was not mistaken, and then put down the book and turned to leave.
Not long after Zhong Hou stepped out of the library, a group of about twenty people, the youngest was only twelve or thirteen, and the oldest was only eighteen or nineteen.
At first, he thought that the other party was just passing by, and Zhong Hou didn't want to conflict with the other party, so he gave way to the aisle, ready to pass by the crowd.
"You, stop. The leader was about eighteen or nineteen, dressed in fancy clothes, and a young man with an arrogant demeanor pointed at Zhong Hou and shouted.
Hearing this, Zhong Hou was still a little dazed, and a little naïve and looked around. Finding that there seemed to be no one else here except himself, he pointed to his nose and asked, "You called me?"
"Nonsense, didn't I call you a dog?" The young man in Chinese clothes looked at Zhong Hou with a little contempt, as if there was not a person standing in front of him, but a dog.
When the other companions heard this, they immediately burst out laughing.
