Chapter 116: Enter Tianlu Pavilion
The old witch once wanted to take Yue'er as an apprentice, but the little princess was not happy to live or die, so she insisted on worshipping the gentleman Hou Daochen as a teacher. The old witch was so angry about this that she almost found Daochen to duel. However, she did not give up the idea of taking the little princess as an apprentice, and every time she saw her, she always had to "know it with affection and move it with reason". The little princess was scared, and every time she came to the Strange Ability Mansion, she sneaked around.
After listening to Ouyang Nana's words, Wang Xiao laughed wildly, he didn't expect that this evil little witch would also be scared and deflated, it was a strange news.
The corners of Ouyang Nana's mouth also showed a faint smile, which could make an indifferent woman like her smile, and it was conceivable that the little devil must be "notorious" in the imperial capital.
One day, Daochen suddenly returned with a serious injury, and the cultivation world of the imperial capital was in an uproar. Wang Xiao was also surprised, he had seen the peerless cultivation of this martial arts master's skill that was close to the Dao.
Dao Chen did see the legendary Qilin in the mountain range, and countless cultivators frantically rushed towards the Qilin, and everyone wanted to tame the divine beast. Even those who knew that they were hopeless stepped forward one after another, wanting to add fuel to the fire and kill the divine beast, so that they could get a scale and a half claw to go back to refining medicine.
Dao Chen watched coldly, he knew that the power of the divine beast was definitely not something that ordinary people could deal with, and a holy snake that failed to transform into a dragon had already stretched him to the limit, not to mention this legendary divine beast. Sure enough, as he expected, the Qilin Divine Beast did not panic in the face of the siege of hundreds of people, it opened its mouth and spat out a large area of flames, the temperature of the flames was terrifyingly high, and the first batch of people just rushed up, and they were burned to ashes.
Daochen wanted to leave, but the Qilin was staring at him, and the divine beast could also sense those strong people in the crowd. For these intruders who broke into the ancient cave and woke it up, it was deeply hostile, and it stepped on the flames and rushed towards Dao Chen as soon as possible.
The battle between Dao Chen and the Divine Beast was extremely tragic, and countless people who came for the Qilin were tragically killed by the pond fish, or pierced through their bodies by the sword qi that rushed to the sky, or burned to ashes by the surging flames, and countless people died. In the end, Zhuge was defeated by the wind, was seriously injured and escaped, and escaped from the Luofeng Mountain Range in great danger.
Only 12 out of 10 people managed to escape from danger, and this incident caused an uproar in the Wei Kingdom, and more cultivators with advanced cultivation broke into the mountain range and wanted to tame the Qilin as a mount. Especially those knights of the Divine Gate, after hearing about this, their interest in the Qilin was far greater than that of other brute beasts, and dozens of powerful knights set off from various countries to rush towards the mountain range.
Daochen only briefly said this matter, but the danger in it can be imagined, that battle must be much more fierce than the battle with the giant snake.
Duan Yue'er was extremely dissatisfied with this matter, puffed out her mouth, and muttered: "I haven't seen such a good show, it's a pity, it's a pity that the old man is difficult to be ugly, I didn't actually see his stinky appearance with my own eyes." Alas!"
After Daochen came back to explain some things, he left in a hurry, hiding to heal his wounds, if he heard the complaint of the baby apprentice, he would definitely spit out another mouthful of blood in anger.
After that, the Qilin incident boiled over the continent for more than a month, and countless cultivators returned with feathers, until the Qilin disappeared from the mountain range, and the matter came to an end.
Wang Xiao can leave calmly at any time, but at this time he is not in a hurry, in addition to receiving "treatment" every day, he devotes himself to learning the common script of the mainland.
Time flies, two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and his skills still show no signs of "recovery". But for the writing commonly used in the mainland today, he has already mastered it very well, which surprised Ouyang Nana, he didn't expect him to have such a talent in writing.
Wang Xiao frantically read all kinds of history books, official history, wild history...... He flipped it all over.
His heart throbbed whenever he thought of the relics of the gods, he had been sent from that ancient land of gods and demons, he was very concerned about its past, and he was eager to know all its secrets. Wang Xiao had an unusually strong feeling that the earth-shattering secret that was unknown 10,000 years ago had not been annihilated in history, and sooner or later it would be revealed.
He tried in vain to find clues of historical facts 10,000 years ago in the history books, but he was disappointed that all kinds of historical materials were limited to major events in 5,000 years, and could not be traced back to 10,000 years ago.
Ouyang Nana was surprised that he was so interested in history, and couldn't help but ask: "Why does Wang Gongzi have a soft spot for history, there are so many poems and lyrics in the Strange Ability Mansion, why have I never seen you read it?"
Wang Xiao smiled awkwardly and said, "This...... Although the poetry has a far-reaching artistic conception and cultivates people's sentiments, I still feel that history is more intriguing and makes people feel the tremor of their hearts. In the past, I was illiterate, I had never read any books, and I never knew that the mainland had such a magnificent past, the rise and fall of a powerful empire, and the prosperity and decline of an excellent nation...... 5,000 years of ups and downs, 5,000 years of splendid glory...... It's emotional, it's shocking!"
A strange look flashed in Ouyang Nana's eyes, and she smiled: "Chen Gongzi has a lot of emotion, it seems that he has gained a lot!"
Wang Xiao was ashamed for a while, but he didn't expect him to talk nonsense for a while, and actually said something that seemed to have gained something.
"You have only been literate for two months, and you have been able to read through the history of the mainland, which is really admirable!" Ouyang Nana praised with a smile on her face.
Wang Xiao saw that Ouyang Nana was in a good mood at this time, and he said what he had already calculated in his heart: "Miss Ouyang, I have read all the history books in the Strange Ability Mansion, can you let me go to the classic room of the palace with you to have a look?"
Ouyang Nana glanced at him in surprise and said, "Are you really so interested in history?" The classic room of the palace is very strictly guarded, and I was able to enter because I was good friends with the two princesses, if I brought another person, I am afraid it will be difficult." However, you can give it a try, if you can get Princess Yu to accompany you, things may be easier. ”
Speaking of the little devil, Wang Xiao had a headache, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, I'm still reading poetry in Qishi Mansion." ”
"It's okay, I'll go find the Moon Princess tomorrow. ”
"No, no...... I resolutely didn't read it, and after reading so much history, I had a headache. ”
"Hehe......" Although Ouyang Nana is usually not as cold as frost, she rarely shows a smile, and her flower-like smile at this moment is particularly moving, like rippling spring water, which makes people's hearts ripple.
Wang Xiao lost his mind for a while, and Ouyang Nana's next words interrupted his reverie.
"Don't worry, I will never go to find the Moon Princess, even if I want to find Her Royal Highness the Princess Man, the Moon Princess is notoriously difficult, I don't want to make trouble for myself. ”
Wang Xiaogan laughed and said, "I didn't expect Her Royal Highness the little princess to be famous, I thought I would have a headache for her." ”
At night, Wang Xiao lay on the bed and recalled the experience of the past two months, everything was like a drama, he actually became a hidden person in the Wei State. The biggest gain for him in these two months was that he learned the common script of the mainland here, and he completely integrated with this society.
The next day, Ouyang Nana had a smile on her face and said to Wang Xiao: "Princess Man has already greeted the management of the classic room, and after I will do acupuncture for you for a while, you can go with me." ”
Wang Xiao was overjoyed, and after the acupuncture was completed, he followed Ouyang Nana out of the Strange Ability Mansion. More than a dozen warriors were guarding around a luxurious carriage, Nalan Ruoshui beckoned him to get on the carriage together, Chen Nan thanked him, smelled the intoxicating fragrance along the way, and soon came to the imperial city.
The forbidden place of the imperial palace, civil officials get off the sedan chair, military attaches get off the horse, and no one can enjoy special treatment except for the royal family. In the palace, the palace towers, high and low, spectacular and majestic. Chen Nan followed Nalan Ruoshui to turn left and right in the palace, and came to the outside of a magnificent hall.
The person in charge here was a Hanlin scholar who was about forty years old, and since Duan Man had informed him in advance, he didn't say much.
The classics in the hall are like mountains, but they are scattered, row by row, column by column, stacked neatly.
Wang Xiao skipped poetry, stars, and medicine in the ocean-like library...... I went straight to the door of the library marked Historiography. Looking at the collection of nearly 10,000 books inside, he was dizzy for a while, how many books could he finish reading in years and months, this is too much.
He patiently searched for the sea of books, he only read the first page of each book, and if the content was the history of nearly 5,000 years, he would be "sent home".
In the following days, Wang Xiao and Ouyang Nana went back and forth between the Strange Ability Mansion and the Royal Classics Room every day, and he was boring to read the history books every day.
One day, Wang Xiao casually took out a book from the shelf, opened it and saw that it was a modern font, he didn't think about it, so he put it in its place. But the words "Cultivation Level" on the cover caught his attention, and he took his hand back halfway through.
