Chapter Forty-Seven: The Fallen Book Palace
When Ji Yan stepped into the book hall for the first time, he even couldn't believe his eyes, the rest of the halls were tall and majestic, and the decoration inside was also very exquisite, not to mention how luxurious, but there was a kind of charm, as for the book hall - except for the main hall is still majestic, the interior decoration tables and chairs look a little old, but it is indeed spotless, obviously someone specially cleaned.
Several disciples in hospital uniforms sat at the table, some were writing hard, copying something, some were holding their heads with their hands, making a meditative shape, and in front of them, on a slightly longer chair, an old gentleman was holding an old book, looking at it seriously, and from time to time brushing his beard more than a foot long.
Ji Yan stepped forward, and before he could speak, the other party looked up at him, motioned him to go out, and then went outside the door himself.
"I know about you, and I want to practice all three arts, but I don't have anything to teach you here. The old gentleman was straightforward.
"Sir, there is something I don't know about the junior, why the book hall is like this-"
"Decline?" the old man said the two words he wanted to say when he saw that he was about to speak.
Ji Yan scratched his head embarrassedly, feeling a little rude, but his expression showed that this was indeed what he wanted to ask.
"Alas, when was the time when the book hall was also glorious, you know, the word academy, there is also a book in it. The old man seemed very melancholy. "There are some secrets involved, and I can't talk about them for the time being, maybe one day in the future you will know, but now, the path of books is extremely difficult to practice, at least as far as I know, no one can enter the Tao with this except for the sage of books. β
"Some of the seniors of the Book Hall?"
"The vast majority of them became the writers of the Han Dynasty, although they did not do much, but they did their part. β
"Sir, since there is a book and a holy path ahead, why can't we take this as our goal and swim against the current. Ji Yan asked puzzled.
"Shusheng is a variable, and his identity is mysterious, I only know that he is a person from Zhongzhou, and there was a battle with a big man in Daomen, and it seems that he finally injured the other party, which is known to the world, and no one knows his origin and cultivation method. β
"Then how do you prove that he entered the Tao with books?"
"The so-called book into the Tao, in fact, is not, the book is the carrier of the word, the word is the expression of the word, so that the person who enters the Tao, when the seal engraving characters can communicate the avenue of heaven and earth, control the direction of the vitality, even if it is a simple word, there is a shocking ability, the person who cultivates to the fullest, the word is the law. β
"It's so powerful, it's a pity that I can't practice. Ji Yan sighed.
"There was a person before, and his talent was much higher than yours, but in the end, he still sighed and gave up. β
"Even so, I still want to come and listen to him. Ji Yan bowed.
"Don't give up yet?" the old gentleman smiled: "Well, practice also pays attention to the combination of work and rest, if you are tired, come to my old man's place, there is nothing else, at least there are a lot of anecdotes to tell you." β
"Thank you, sir. β
Leaving the Book Hall, Ji Yan went straight to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, taking advantage of some free time, he needed to understand the world as quickly as possible.
Walking into it, the huge scripture pavilion is full of books, rows of bookshelves occupy most of the space, and from time to time you can see someone searching for the books you need, it should be a disciple of the academy who has no courses, because the pavilion is too big, it seems a little empty, this is only the first floor, there are eight floors above.
The first layer is only the most ordinary books, so they can be borrowed, Ji Yan decided to take them back to study at night, and then he remembered what Sun You had said, here are the immortal classics?
Came to the door with a few selected books, there was a waiter in charge of registration, and after a brief chat, Ji Yan put the books there temporarily and walked upstairs.
Nine-story pavilion, one floor is smaller than the first, Ji Yan followed the stairs, step by step, the second floor, the third floor...... When he reached the fifth floor, he was already out of breath, and he seemed to weigh a thousand pounds without taking a single step, but he didn't have the slightest idea of stopping, as if a voice had been urging him to go up.
On the seventh floor, when he came here, he was almost paralyzed to the ground, his brain was in chaos, countless voices sounded in his ears, the sound of fighting, gongs and drums, horses' hooves, and the sound of Jin Ge, as if he had come to the ancient station, and when he was about to lose his support, the Dao Sutra in his body began to run on its own, and a stream of Yuan Qi flowed to his limbs, giving him the last bit of strength, and dissolving part of the noise, he was already in a semi-comatose state at this time, and just began to walk with the instinct of his body.
On the eighth floor, he had already begun to climb with it, and the sounds around him became less and less, and finally it seemed that only a few people were left talking.
"That kid is very powerful, it's been a long time since anyone new has been here. A voice said with a hint of surprise.
"So what, if he really climbs to the ninth floor, he won't survive. An indifferent voice remembered.
"Hey, don't let him come up again, that kid made us suffer a lot more than ten years ago, and in the end even the old orphan was planted, let's go and have some fun for him. "It's a somewhat gloating voice.
In the end, several different colors of light flickered, and they surrounded Ji Yan, and through the dim light, they could see that it was a stone tablet, a futon, a tortoise shell, a pitch-black gravel, and a broken book.
Then they began to chant, and there was a light flowing from everything, turning into a chain, some binding Ji Yan himself, and some more directly, stabbing straight at Ji Yan's head.
At this moment, a black hole appeared on his body, and the brown chain that originally stabbed Ji Yan's head seemed to have touched his nemesis, and was directly absorbed, and the rest of the things saw this, and attacked the black hole together, and several chains were twisted into one, and the power was several times stronger than before.
"What the hell is this? It has such a powerful devouring power. A voice asked, puzzled.
"Whatever he is. According to the agreement, he can't be allowed to go up to the ninth layer, otherwise it will be over" Gravel eagerly said with a black glow, he had been the most ferocious before, but he was also devoured the most, but it didn't seem to affect the origin.
"No, according to the agreement, we can't kill us, otherwise that person will wipe us out. "There are opposing voices.
"Hmph, what a chance we represent, I don't believe that he dared to do something exterminating, the cause and effect are too great, he won't not understand, besides, how many years have I not seen him. β
"He's not going to die, and he's definitely going to do it. The stele had been silent until then said.
At this moment, an abrupt voice came: "You're rightββγ β
At this time, on Ji Yan's body, a sky-high sword aura directly cut off their restraints, and the entire floor was full of strong sword intent, and those few things had already fallen to the ground, as if the ministers had already knelt down to worship the emperor, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, and even trembled a little.
At this moment, the pressure on Ji Yan's body also suddenly decreased, and one of his hands slowly fell on the ground of the nine-story pavilion.
