"By the way, if I want to enter the research institute, will it be troublesome?" Gu Xiaoxian suddenly asked an unrelated question, she was still thinking about returning to Earth.

"No, if you are interested, after you enter the Tianji Pavilion, you can go to the research institute at any time, and there are many cultivators like you in the research institute. Du Jing gave a very positive answer.

"There are monks in the research institute?" Gu Xiaoxian was not calm, what should the monks do in the research institute?

"Oh, I forgot, you don't know yet. In fact, there are many new things in the institute that have been researched together with the cultivators, just like my matching gun, which is engraved with Taoist formations. ”

"So, is it amazing...... Gu Xiaoxian was a little puzzled, what kind of operation is this?

"You really should have come to the gathering place earlier, you don't know, those people in the institute are all geniuses. Seeing Gu Xiaoxian's reaction, Du Jing said even more vigorously.

"Really? Then I'm going to have to see it. Gu Xiaoxian felt that she was one step closer to her goal, and she had to enter the research institute.

The military off-road drove in the city, and the road was unimpeded, and there was no trouble with traffic jams everywhere before the catastrophe, and the car quickly drove to the entrance of Area A.

As Du Jing said, Area A is very well guarded, guarded by armed soldiers, infrared scanning, and only through identity verification can you enter Area A.

Du Jing stopped for inspection, and after showing his documents, he explained Gu Xiaoxian's identity to the other party.

Gu Xiaoxian also took out her temporary ID card, and the other party still had some hesitation after scanning it, after all, she had not encountered such a situation for many years.

Du Jing seemed to know that he would encounter such a problem, he took out a long jade plaque again, and after the other party saw the jade plaque, his face changed slightly, and then he didn't say anything more, and let him go directly.

"What is that jade plate? Is Qingyi's predecessor's ID card different from ours?" After the car passed through the gate, Gu Xiaoxian still asked the doubts in his heart, why did the guard let him go when he saw the jade plate, is the jade plate very special?

"This is not an ID card, the monks guarding the city gate will have a piece, similar to a customs clearance token. ”

"Oh, that's no wonder. Gu Xiaoxian knew it at the moment.

"The front is the research institute, the Chinese-style building on the left is the Tianji Pavilion, the one on the right is the ** building, and the rest are military camps. Du Jing continued to act as a guide.

Gu Xiaoxian felt that he was entering a military base, with ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and heavy armor could be seen everywhere, and this was the core area of the entire gathering place.

"Let's go directly to Tianji Pavilion, your friend should already be waiting for you. Du Jing drove towards the direction where Tianji Pavilion was located.

"Okay. ”

The military off-road stopped in front of the gate of Tianji Pavilion, and sure enough, Ding Meng was already waiting at the door with Xiao Ding Ning, and when he saw Gu Xiaoxian getting out of the car, he greeted him.

"Sister Xiaoxian. ”

"Has your mission been delivered?" Gu Xiaoxian also asked with a smile.

"Well, it's already good. Ding Meng nodded.

"We can buy a lot of instant noodles. Xiao Ding Ning spread his hands out, made a big gesture, and happily added.

"Thank you, Xiao Ning. Gu Xiaoxian gently rubbed Xiao Ding Ning's head, and her heart was warm.

At this time, Du Jing also parked the car and walked over, "Let's go in first, and help Ms. Gu register in the register." ”

"Good. ”

The group entered the Tianji Pavilion, and the architectural style here was not the ancient style imagined by Gu Xiaoxian, but a very modern office building pattern. The only difference is that the walls are full of runes, and in some places there are ritual vessels.

The spiritual energy in the Tianji Pavilion is sufficient, and in such a world where demonic energy lingers, it is already very rare to be able to do this.

Ding Meng introduced to Gu Xiaoxian as she walked, "The hall on the first floor is the place where the tasks are released, and the big electronic screen has various tasks on it, with different difficulties and different remunerations. Most of the tasks are officially released by the Tianji Pavilion and the Research Institute, and of course some are released in the name of individuals, but this is relatively rare. ”

"The second floor is the Fang Market, you can trade with spirit stones, you can also barter, there are not many people in ordinary times, and Tianji Pavilion also provides consignment services. ”

"The rooms on the third floor are all engraved with the Spirit Gathering Formation, which can be rented to practice retreat. ”

Ding Meng introduced the main purpose of this floor to Gu Xiaoxian every time she went up, and finally she pointed to the stairs leading to the fourth floor and said: "The fourth floor is where we are going, saying that it is the Library Pavilion, but in fact, there are not many books, but Elder Mu Yang usually goes there, he is responsible for managing all the affairs of the Tianji Pavilion, we are going to find him." ”

"What about Xiang Ran's seniors you are talking about?" Gu Xiaoxian said curiously.

"Senior Xiang has been in retreat on the fifth floor all year round, and he usually doesn't ask about these things. Ding Meng explained.

"Oh. Gu Xiaoxian nodded, it seems that she can't see this big man.

A few people stepped up the stairs, and the fourth floor was an open space, not divided into offices, like a real library.

This is the so-called library of books, and like the library, it is also full of shelves and is also divided into areas. But most of them are just ordinary books, plus there are new scientific research books in the institute, but there are few that are really related to Taoism.

There was a large table on the left hand side of the stairs, and an old man was sitting at the table, holding a pen in his hand, writing something, and he didn't seem to care about the arrival of several people.

"Elder Mu Yang. Ding Meng stepped forward and gave a deep salute, looking extremely solemn, Du Jing also saluted a standard military salute, and even Xiao Ding Ning saluted decently.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxian naturally didn't dare to slack off, and also bowed deeply. If you don't rush anything else, just rush this old man's cultivation in infancy, and Gu Xiaoxian will also be respectful to him.

The old man was not in a hurry, he finished writing the last word of the pen, and then he raised his head, he looked at the people in front of him, and finally his eyes fell on Gu Xiaoxian's body.

"This is a bit of a face-to-face for Xiaoyou. There was a slight confusion in the old man's tone, but it didn't make people feel uncomfortable.

This old man gave people the feeling that he was more like a scholar than a cultivator, and Gu Xiaoxian directly associated him with the image of a wise old man in his mind.

"Junior Gu Xiaoxian, you only came to the gathering place today, so you haven't seen the junior before. Gu Xiaoxian replied respectfully.

Elder Mu Yang nodded and said, "I don't know what you are looking for?"

At this time, Du Jing stepped forward in a timely manner, first presented the long jade plate of Qingyi, and then explained to Elder Mu Yang that Gu Xiaoxian was going to join the Tianji Pavilion and needed to handle the matter of entering the book.

"Since he is a person who likes Qingyi, the old man doesn't ask anymore. After hearing the cause and effect of the matter, Elder Mu Yang took out a jade slip.

This jade slip has a rhyme, and at a glance, you can know that it is not an ordinary thing.

"Gu Xiaoxian, is it?" Elder Mu Yang used his divine thought as a knife, confirmed it again, and prepared to engrave Gu Xiaoxian's name into the jade slip.

"Yes. ”

"Water Spirit Root?" Elder Mu Yang asked again.

"Yes. ”

"What are you good at?"

"Healing. Gu Xiaoxian thought about it seriously for a while, and finally said affirmatively.
