Meng Yuan came out of the Douqi Palace and did not go back directly, but climbed to the top of Dongze Mountain. Sitting on the branch of a big tree, looking at the arrangement of the seven palaces, I couldn't think of anything to do with Xuanwu. Figures can be seen faintly walking around the mountain, but it is not like in the movie, where each disciple rides a rare beast.

There were no other buildings on the hill except for seven palaces and a few pavilions, and he didn't see any wild beasts along the way, and there were quite a few ordinary birds. Behind him was the endless ocean, a sight he knew well.

In the past, when he was on Earth, he always heard others say that seeing the ocean had a feeling of relaxation and joy, but at this time, he felt that this ocean was under the calm surface, and he didn't know how many murderous intentions were hidden.

Now that he has entered the Xuanwu Palace, it stands to reason that he finally has a "home", but he has no attachment to this "home", and it is not even as good as the Panda Bamboo Cave. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and it's time to take the red panda back to see its mother.

Di Yu woke up from his meditation and saw this ocean, and said guiltily: "It's all my fault for being too stupid, otherwise Xin'er wouldn't have suffered so much." ”

Meng Yuan learned from Emperor Yu's tone and said: "It's all because of Ma Xinrui (Meng Yuan's friend when he was on earth. Bad idea, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this world. I miss my mom and dad. ”

"You still have a place to be attached to, but I don't have anything now. According to the patriarch, I am the only one left in our clan. Di Yu said with emotion.

Meng Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "If you were to be in a supreme and noble position, but you were alone, happy and harmonious with your family, and lived a dull life, which one would you choose?"

"I don't know what to choose. What about you?"

"I'm going for the latter. In fact, I really don't have any big ideals, I just want to marry a wife and have children and live a stable life. Do you think that those of them who have lived for thousands of years are interesting? Xu Jinghuai is still passable, he has enjoyed everything he should enjoy, and he has no regrets when he dies. But if you are like Deng Yize, you have been a bachelor for thousands of years, and you recognize an apprentice as your son, and you almost send a white-haired person to a black-haired person. How sad you say that is!"

Di Yu suddenly smiled and said: "Then what you mean is that no matter how long you live, women are indispensable, right? If you really have the ability of the Five Peerless Heavenly Venerables to provoke so many women, you can use this body as you like, and I will never interfere." ”

"Are you afraid that we will suddenly die one day, I'm sorry for me?" Di Yu remained silent, and Meng Yuan continued, "Since it fell on you, it means that we are destined." Now that there are a lot of life and death crises, you and I are one, so what do I blame you. Since the thief has called me, then I must go and see what kind of virtue it is, and ask it why it chose me?"

The sky was cloudless, when suddenly a thunderclap exploded.

Meng Yuan snorted his mouth and said angrily: "If you see it, you can't say it." Let's go to the library!"

After Meng Yuan went down the mountain, he wanted to go directly to the library, but he was stopped by Zhong Yingxin, and he didn't explain the reason, so he pulled him away. The two of them came to a square, and the newly recruited disciples were all there.

On a high platform, there was a white-haired old man, who was the steward Elder Wang, who was explaining to the newcomers, and when he saw Meng Yuan, who was late, he was displeased and said, "I just talked about the rules of the Xuanwu Palace, can you remember them clearly?" The disciples nodded.

Elder Wang said, "There is another one that is also very important. That is, as a newcomer, you must be down-to-earth, and don't think about flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix all day long. ”

When Meng Yuan heard it, he was talking about himself. Immediately applauded and shouted, "Okay!" Finding that everyone was looking at him, he said with a puzzled expression: "Don't you think Elder Wang is speaking well?

Elder Wang scolded, "That's enough, why are you here now?"

Meng Yuan said with an aggrieved face: "I heard that your old man gathered new people and rushed to listen to the teachings, who knew that the palace master of the Douqi Palace had to die and beg me to accept me as a disciple." I wasn't happy at the time, with your old man here, what kind of thing is he, can he compare with you? I guess you can beat him with a finger of your hand, how can I worship him as a teacher. ”

During the scene, the newcomer didn't know about the Douqi Palace, and felt that Meng Yuan was slapping the horse. Zhong Yingxin couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Meng Yuan's pretending to be aggrieved. I saw that Elder Wang was trembling with anger and scolded, "Bastard!"

Meng Yuan nodded frantically and said, "You're right, I also think he's a bastard." Why don't you go to him and theorize?"

"You... You me off. ”

"Ah, are you asking me to call him? Okay, I'll go now. After saying that, he patted his ass and left.

Dong Yuqing saw this scene and said with a wry smile: "What a restless lord!"

Qiu Zhi, another deputy hall master, said: "Young and frivolous, don't we all come here like this. ”

"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and when he really comes into contact with the core disciples, I hope he can still maintain this madness. A long-haired man next to Qiu Zhi said.

After hearing this, Qiu Zhi smiled and said, "What? You lost again?" Seeing that the man didn't reply, he continued, "I'll make a bet with you, after a hundred years, you may not beat him." ”

Li Xuling said unhappily: "It's not a shame for me to lose. ”

"No, no, no, although you are my apprentice, you are you and I am. If you lose, it's because you're not good at learning, what does it have to do with me. I now regret taking you as an apprentice. After a pause, he said, "It's too uncompetitive." ”

"Master's words are wrong. Rin Dong is the descendant disciple of the hall master and the candidate for the next hall master, and it is not a shame to lose to her. Who called me just the apprentice of the deputy hall master. There was a look of remorse when he spoke, and he accentuated the three words "deputy hall master".

Dong Yuqing looked at this pair of master and apprentice, and didn't know what to say. The master is not like the master, and the apprentice is not like the apprentice.

After Meng Yuan left, he inquired about the location of the library building and went straight away.

The library building is built in the back mountain, which is clean and convenient for mortals to borrow. The architectural style is a circle at the top and at the bottom, with eight pillars at the bottom, one door and seven windows. From the second floor it is circular and has nine windows, until the fourth floor, the style is similar, only reduced in turn.

The fifth floor is closed and does not have a single window. On the sixth floor, there is a statue of a giant tortoise, and the turtle body is entrenched in a green snake, and the whole is in the shape of a basalt.

Meng Yuan came to the door of the library building, and there was a couplet on the door. Uplink: One book and one volume to know the ancient sages for thousands of years; Downlink: Three questions and three answers can solve the hearts of future generations; Horizontal criticism: Why become an immortal.

Meng Yuan looked at this couplet and complained: "Why do you want to become an immortal? If you don't want to become an immortal, why come to this library, it's just nonsense." ”

In the library building, someone seemed to hear Meng Yuan's complaints, and sighed: "Another idiot." ”

Meng Yuan entered the library building and saw many people reading. Unfolded a divine sense investigation, and found that the first floor was basically full of mortals. When his divine sense swept over a thin old man, he was bounced back, but fortunately no one else attacked him, otherwise he would have suffered.

When I walked to a bookshelf, I was about to pick up a book when a voice stopped me. Meng Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a skinny old man on crutches, and said, "May I ask why the seniors stopped the disciples from reading?"

"First time?"

Meng Yuan saw that the old man didn't open his mouth at all, but he could make a sound, which must have been some kind of ventriloquism. He responded immediately: "The disciple has just entered the Xuanwu Palace, please show the seniors." ”

"Didn't the Elder Steward tell me the rules here?" the old man asked with a blank face.

Meng Yuan thought to himself, how could Elder Li, who was in charge of things, tell him this if he looked unhappy. The current lie reported: "The disciple was summoned by the palace master of the Douqi Palace as soon as he entered the mountain gate, and he didn't have time to see the elder in charge." ”

The old man closed his eyes, opened them again after only a few breaths, and said slowly: "I already know about this matter, you go to handle the Xuanwu Order first." ”

Meng Yuan took out the jade plate that Deng Yize gave him, and the elder shook his head and said, "This is not your Xuanwu order. ”

Meng Yuan said sincerely: "Ask the seniors to solve their doubts, and the disciples will listen." ”

The old man returned to his seat and continued to close his eyes to recuperate, and after a while, a young disciple came over and explained to Meng Yuan the rules of the library.

The first floor of the library has six floors, and the first floor is a collection of secular books, including agriculture, fishing, animal husbandry, and cookbooks.

The purpose of the first layer is mainly to help mortals live a better life. At the beginning, it was free and open, but because borrowers did not value books, they began to charge fees.

There are two ways to implement it: those who enter the building can register to read for free, and borrowers need to apply for an identity card and pay the corresponding fee before they can borrow books.

However, worldly gold and silver are basically useless for cultivators, but the Xuanwu Temple will send special personnel to use this part of the expenses to help the poor or build bridges and roads.

There are very few mortals on the second layer, and the collection is the basic cultivation exercises, which are suitable for the earth immortals and below, and the cost is one red heart a day. Conditions, apply for an identity jade card and have a guarantor.

The third layer mainly collects books suitable for the cultivation of earth immortals, including exercises, formations, medical techniques, and pill techniques. Most of the books in the collection are stored in the form of jade plates, and if you want to read, you must use your divine sense to penetrate, which is also the unique way of reading for "immortals". Fortunately, the jade plate is classified according to the attributes of the exercises, which saves a lot of trouble. If you want to enter the third layer, you need to use the Xuanwu Order, and consume one kumquat every day.

The official members of the Xuanwu Hall have an exclusive Xuanwu Order, which is divided into four levels: the Hall Master Order, the Palace Master Order, the Elder Order, and the Disciple Order.

The order of the elders is further subdivided into Taishang, law enforcement, honor, steward, ordinary, etc. The role of different elder orders will be different, except for the special Supreme Elder Order, the law enforcement elder order has the most authority.

The disciple order can be subdivided into: the candidate of the hall master, the successor of the seven palaces, the elder descendant, and the official disciple. The Xuanwu Hall is not like other sects, and the outer disciples do not have a Xuanwu order.

The Xuanwu Order is both a status symbol and a key to the library. Moreover, the Xuanwu Order itself is a treasure, with the function of space storage and sound transmission for thousands of miles. In particular, the palace master order and the palace master order are rumored to be related to the ancient inheritance of the Xuanwu Palace.

It is worth mentioning that since each deputy hall master is concurrently served by the palace master of the seven palaces, there is no deputy hall master order, but there is a special mark on the palace master order.

There are not many books in the fourth floor, but they are very precious, suitable for the cultivation of immortals. Of course, there will also be some books on more advanced Danshu and formations. The cost is one pineapple per day.

The fifth layer is more unique, in short, it is a hodgepodge of remnants, from exercises to secret stories. Interestingly, these things are not something you can see if you want to, and in a word, it can be summarized as those who are destined. The cost is no longer a spirit stone, but a point. Converted into spirit stones, it is about one point for one green mang, and one green mango is about one hundred pineapples.

Originally, the fifth floor was free to enter, of course, only for the Xuanwu Order. However, since the Stealth Cheats incident, the fifth tier has started to charge. It is worth mentioning that Fang Lei's thunder recipe was obtained from it.

Later, Fang Lei did many evil things with the help of Ben Lei Jue, but this account was counted on the head of the Xuanwu Palace. Zuo Jiyuan was furious and ordered that non-hall master candidates and the descendants of the Seven Palaces were not allowed to enter the fifth layer, including the elders.

For this reason, many elders made trouble, but Zuo Jiyuan had a tough attitude, one sentence: "Disobedience - get out." As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen elders led their disciples to leave the Xuanwu Palace.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect that the heirs of the Autumn Rat Palace were greedy for the exercises, and forcibly demanded them, causing the soul to be damaged, and they went crazy. This incident happened like a slap in the face and warned everyone.

The collection of books on the fifth layer is not about selecting people for exercises, but for selecting people for exercises. Fang Lei got the thunder trick because of it, and if others forcibly ask for it, they will hurt themselves.

In desperation, Zuo Jiyuan convened all the elders to discuss countermeasures, and finally decided to implement a point system. First, it is more difficult to obtain points, so as to avoid disciples with low cultivation from being too ambitious, and secondly, it is to win people's hearts, after all, high-level exercises are what everyone wants.

The point system tells these people that if they want to do the exercises, they must first contribute to the Xuanwu Palace.
