Chapter 171: The Pavilion of the Scriptures
"No matter what, thank you, Elder Ma!"
Standing in front of an unfamiliar hall, Lu You still stopped, hugged his fists and thanked Ma Shiyu, although he was not afraid of things, but he didn't want to cause trouble, Ma Shiyu could be said to have resolved this crisis for himself.
Although there is a contradiction between the two people, and the contradiction is just a few days ago, he still has a clear grievance, a grudge is a grudge, but a grudge is a grudge.
Ma Shiyu seems to be the kind of elder with a relatively low status, otherwise, when he beats him, it is impossible for Elder Zhao Lin not to defend him, but to correct him and let him deal with it.
"Forget it, I also have something wrong, you don't have to thank me, I can make up for the disrespect I gave you last time!" Ma Shiyu waved his hand with a wry smile, not paying much attention to Lu You's thanks.
He was very afraid that Lu You would beat him again, with his strength, he was really not Lu You's opponent, let alone teach Lu You something, he only helped Lu You through the crisis this time, and it was up to Lu You to cultivate or something in the future.
"No matter what you say, you have helped me through this crisis, so I still have to thank Elder Ma, and I will also say sorry to you!" Lu You clenched his fists and continued to laugh.
Lu You's continuous apologies made Ma Shiyu's face even more excited, and he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, it's easy to say, since this is the case, let's write off the previous grievances." ”
"That's exactly what I mean!" Lu You smiled faintly, thinking the same thing.
"By the way, Lu You, I am now your superficial ordination elder, so I need to send you some cultivation resources in the future, but my status is relatively low, so it is difficult to get any good cultivation resources, I need to talk to you about this" Ma Shiyu thought of something and hurriedly spoke.
Hearing this, Lu You nodded and smiled: "It's nothing, I won't care!"
"The second point is that cultivating in the Ghost Spirit Gate, especially in the City Lord's Mansion in our Xiling City, requires exercises as a foundation, so if you want to improve your strength and combat ability, you still need to go to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion!"
Ma Shiyu spoke again, and told Lu You everything he knew without hesitation, so that when Lu You heard this, his face changed slightly, and his eyes were a little surprised, so he asked, "What is that place?"
"It is the place where the exercises of the City Lord's Mansion of Xiling City are collected, all the exercises are in it, if you want to practice the exercises, you must go to the Scripture Pavilion!" Ma Shiyu continued to speak, his face a little serious.
Hearing this, Lu You's face showed a little expectation and curiosity, Lu You was a little interested in this Scripture Pavilion, and if he went to take a look, it would be no big deal.
"But"
"But?" Lu You suddenly heard what Ma Shiyu said, which made Lu You realize that there must be something difficult about this Scripture Pavilion in the eyes of Ma Shiyu, otherwise he would not be able to say two words.
"Well, there is an unwritten rule in the Scripture Pavilion, that is, you have to make sure that you succeed in your studies in the Scripture Pavilion, if you fail to learn after entering, not only will you be punished, but even I, an elder, will be punished with you. ”
"So you have to think about it, can you achieve something in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, if you can learn anything, you can go!" Ma Shiyu's face was full of caution, after all, if Lu You couldn't learn anything, he would also be punished.
His status is too low, although he is an elder, but he usually records a document, cleans up the rags, and is an elder who deals with miscellaneous matters.
Otherwise, if Lu You beat him, he would not have been treated differently by other disciples and elders.
And he was a little self-defeating, so he became fat like this bird, and he was also a handsome guy before.
"I'm sure I can learn a lot, so Elder Ma doesn't have to worry!" Lu You nodded solemnly, which could be regarded as clearly telling Ma Shiyu what he thought.
Hearing this, Ma Shiyu also clenched his fists, his face was firm, and he made some kind of decision.
"Okay, since that's the case, why don't I accompany you once, if you can't beat it, you'll be beaten, anyway, I've been beaten a lot of times, hehe!"
This was said very lightly, like a joke, but Lu You felt guilty inexplicably, as if he had beaten a hard-working elder.
Of course, before this, he didn't know that Ma Shiyu's living environment was like this, and he looked down on newcomers with his mouth, so he must have something to hate even if he was a poor person.
"Then let's go!" Lu You said, taking the lead in leaving the front of the hall, but was stopped by Ma Shiyu behind him with a wry smile: "Here"
"Uh!" Lu You turned around, smiled bitterly, and hurriedly followed behind Ma Shiyu.
In about a quarter of an hour, the two men walked through most of the square, walked through countless corridors and stone bridges, and finally came to a pavilion.
The architectural style of this pavilion is very magnificent, and there is a white colossus statue on top of this 100-meter-high pavilion, which carves a man, a mighty man, holding a ruler and a book in his right hand.
And under this pavilion, there are carved beasts all around, on the left is the green dragon, and on the right is the white tiger, and the front and back are naturally the red bird and the Xuanwu.
Next to the statues of these four kinds of sacred beasts, there are stone screens carved from white marble, which seem to give people a sense of extraordinary momentum, so the disciples who came here are all in awe of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and even more so of the person at the top of the pavilion.
"Elder Ma, who is the statue on the top of the pavilion?" Lu You would definitely ask, so Ma Shiyu had already prepared the answer, and after seeing Lu You's question, he quickly replied: "That is the first city lord of Xiling City, the city lord of Xiling Laughter, it is the realm of the legendary Heavenly Extreme Dao!"
"After his death, the later city lord carved a stone statue in his image, mixed with the spirit of Xiling Xiao, and created this statue, which has been worshiped by countless disciples and elders of the Ghost Spirit Sect for so many years!"
"It is said that no one can get close to this statue of Xi Lingxiao, but it is rumored that if you get close to the statue of Xi Lingxiao, you can successfully become a candidate for the city lord!"
"And you can also get the treasure book left by Xi Lingxiao back then, which can be regarded as Xi Lingxiao's inheritance!" When Ma Shiyu said this, his face was full of expectation and yearning, how much he hoped that he could become the heir of Xi Lingxiao.
Of course, this is just a whimsical joke, and neither his qualifications nor his status can be achieved.
But in the past hundreds of years, no one has been able to enter the vicinity of the statue, and the few people closest to the statue are now all high-level people in Xiling City without exception.
"Let's go in!" Lu You lost much interest, since it was a previous legend, it couldn't be taken seriously, it was a waste of time.
Lu You was the first to walk into the Scripture Pavilion, followed by Ma Shiyu.
This scripture pavilion is very vast, when you enter the first floor, the surrounding space is full of bookshelves, and the bookshelves are filled with countless exercise books, and there are some secret methods and the like.
But such a large space on this floor has been filled with disciples, and there is almost no place to put your feet, Lu You glanced at the stairs that led to the second floor, and he was about to go up to the second floor.
"Hey, what are you going to do?" Ma Shiyu was quick to grab, and hurriedly grabbed Lu You and asked Lu You.
"Go to the second floor, there are too many people here!" Lu You said with a blank look on his face, looking at Ma Shiyu a little puzzled.
Ma Shiyu's face was bitter, and he shook his head and said, "Are you sure you can understand the exercises on the second floor? This floor is full of fourth-level exercises, and the second floor is all exercises above the third level!"
"You'd better take a look at this fourth-level exercise!" Ma Shiyu was afraid that if Lu You couldn't learn the essence after he went up, then he would be unlucky.
After Lu You listened to his words, he immediately realized that the exercises here were divided into levels, and the fourth level should be the lowest, and the third level and above was relatively high.
I just don't know how many levels of my Fuxi exercises are, with Fuxi being such an awesome human emperor, this exercise must be at least one level, Lu You thought silently.
However, he is still confident in his talents, and it is not too difficult for him to understand the Fuxi exercises, let alone understand them.
"Don't worry, I'm confident, hehe!" Lu You smiled coldly at Ma Shiyu, patted the latter on the shoulder, and then ran to the second floor.
Ma Shiyu followed closely behind, for fear that Lu You would cause trouble.
