Chapter 25: Ascending the Xuantai and Ascending to the Heavenly Road
Duanmuqi explained with a smile: "This road is called 'Dengxuantai', also known as 'Tongtian Road', which was built by our Xuanzong Patriarch 'Great Xuantian God' himself. ”
"It is said that the ancestor wanted to 'ascend to the Xuan and ask the question, and fight with the sky', so he built this road and entertained himself. This road contains the power of heaven, and the pressure can be described as 'the sky is overloaded', and it is difficult for those who are not strong in heart to step into it. ”
"From ancient times to the present, except for Master Zu who walked the whole journey alone, the highest others are only more than 1,000 steps. ”
"It has been tens of thousands of years since the ancestor ascended, and this road is still undiminished, young man, don't try it lightly. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jiechen became more and more curious about the bluestone path, and continued to ask, "Why?"
"Without the permission of the head of the sect or the lord of the twelfth floor, stepping into the 'Dengxuan Platform' at will will cost you your head!" Duanmuqi reminded: "However, every time there is a martial arts competition, there are rules for ascending to the Xuan. ”
"Dengxuantai can't test talent, but it can see how tenacious a person's perseverance is, how far he goes, it has nothing to do with cultivation, talent or anything, what is related to it is perseverance, the stronger the perseverance, the farther he goes. ”
"The ancestor himself said that the power of heaven is unpredictable, everything is in awe, and the road to heaven is difficult to move, but if you impress the heavens with the heart of the rock, don't say that ten thousand steps to ascend to the Xuantai is one hundred thousand steps, one million steps, and it is also easy. ”
But tens of thousands of years have passed, but no one has ever been able to understand the words of Master Zu, and no one has been able to climb more than 1,500 steps. ”
Duanmuqi said with some embarrassment.
Xiao Jiechen asked curiously, "Has Elder Duanmu ever been on board?"
Duanmuqi nodded.
"How many steps do you climb?"
"Less than 100 steps. Duanmuqi said with some embarrassment.
"However, the landlord has climbed 1,200 steps, which is only thirteen steps less than our real people, so the sect believes that the owner of the building is the second most resolute person in the entire Xuanzong in addition to the real people in charge. ”
Xiao Jiechen nodded slightly, and then asked again: "Has Zhao Qiuyang ever boarded?"
As soon as he heard this name, Duanmuqi's face changed slightly, and he didn't seem to want to mention it, but seeing that Xiao Jiechen was very curious, he nodded and said, "Zhao Qiuyang's record is...... One thousand one hundred and eighty-nine steps. ”
"One thousand one hundred and eighty-nine steps?" Xiao Jiechen frowned: "Only eleven steps less than the third uncle?"
"That's right. Duanmuqi said with an ugly face: "Although the landlord has always been very disgusted with Zhao Qiuyang, I have to admit that this son is so talented and has a strong heart, which is rare in the world! This record of his is the third in the whole sect, crushing many elders and even the landlord, and he is the first person of the younger generation of Xuanzong!"
Speaking of this, it seemed that in order to take care of Xiao Juechen's face, Duanmuqi said again: "But now it's okay, there is a young son, and it is not certain who will be the first person in the future." ”
"Elder Duanmu has an overreputation. Xiao Juechen smiled slightly, disapproving.
Next, the two walked in the direction of Yuehua Tower.
In his heart, Situ Lang said lightly: "Young master, according to the old minister's humble opinion, if the young master ascends the 'road to heaven', he will definitely be able to surpass everyone!"
"Oh, why?" Xiao Juechen wondered.
"Young Master, don't forget, you are the chosen son, in short, the heir of the Heavenly Dao in the world. Situ Lang said reasonably: "For ordinary people, the power of heaven is unpredictable, but if you change to a young master, it will be completely different." ”
"You mean, as the Son of Heaven, no matter how strong Tianwei is, he won't embarrass me?" Xiao Jiechen understood what Situ Lang meant.
"That's right. Situ Lang nodded.
"Since that's the case, then I'm going to give Zhao Qiuyang a dismissal. A playful smile crossed the corner of Xiao Juechen's mouth.
After a while, Xiao Jiechen and Duanmuqi came to the Yuehua Tower located on the main peak.
It is a tower-shaped wooden building, and it seems to be made entirely of fine sandalwood.
Flying eaves carved window, exquisite workmanship, flowing cloud pattern, meticulous, even after 10,000 years of long years, still sturdy and strong, elegant and chic, like a rare treasure, standing on the top of the top of ten thousand zhang.
Xiao Jiechen glanced at it a few times, and then looked towards the other palaces and pavilions around him.
Duanmuqi opened his mouth to tell Xiao Jiechen about the origin of other buildings.
Except for the Yuehua Building.
At the top of Xuantian Peak, there are many majestic and majestic buildings, with different styles.
For example, the most important Xuantian Hall in the entire Xuantian Peak.
The Xuantian Palace, located in the middle of the Xuantian Peak, is the operation center of the entire Xuanzong Sect, the first power authority, and the real person in charge of the sect lives here, commanding the overall situation, full of a sense of domineering.
On the left and right sides of the Xuantian Palace, they are (left) the Sun Building, the Yuehua Building, the Chengying Building, the Tianbao Building, the Instrument Building, and the Danyi Building.
(Right) Fa Xing Building, Wan Gong Building, Fu Array Building, Karakuri Building, Approach Building, and Secular Building.
The twelfth floor of Xuanzong, just like the architectural style, is different.
Sunny Tower, the first authority under the Xuantian Palace.
Yuehua Building, the second authority under the Xuantian Palace.
Chengying Building, an organization specializing in dirty work, is responsible for calming the chaos and cleaning up the aftermath of the sect, which is a great weapon for Xuanzong.
And Tianbao Building, Maker Building, Danyi Building, Faxing Building, Wangong Building, Fu Array Building, Karakuri Building, Approach Building, etc., as the name suggests, is the meaning of the name.
Tianbaolou is the whole heritage of Xuanzong, all the treasures, weapons, and pills are all collected here.
The Arsenal Building is responsible for the manufacture of weapons, hidden weapons, and so on.
Dan Medical Building is responsible for alchemy and medical treatment.
Fa Xinglou is in charge of the punishment of the sect, and his authority is not high, but it cannot be ignored.
Wangong Building, including the world's exercises.
Fu Array Building makes talismans and arranges formations.
Karakuri belongs to the branch of the Mohist school, and as early as the beginning of its establishment, it was merged into Xuanzong and specialized in organs.
The Sando Building is a place where 'the approach leads to heaven and retreats', and strictly speaking, it is not an organization.
As for the secular building, it is a little different.
Because it is a great tool for Xuanzong to connect with the world, and is in charge of Xuanzong's inheritance and wealth in the world.
After figuring out the role of the twelfth floor of Xuanzong, Xiao Jiechen couldn't help but sigh: "The division of labor is clear, the responsibilities are clear, and it is worthy of being the first sect in the world!"
After a pause, he was a little puzzled: "It's just...... Why can't you even see a single figure?"
Duanmu Qi smiled and replied: "This is the main peak, only the real person in charge of the sect, the landlord, and some elders of the inner sect are qualified to stay here, and others can't easily set foot in it." ”
"I see. Xiao Jiechen nodded.
"Young boy, please come in, I'll take you to see the landlord. Duanmuqi urged.
Next, Xiao Jiechen retracted his gaze and followed Duanmuqi into Yuehua Tower.
Yuehua Building.
Elegant appearance.
The same goes for Inside.
There are many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and there are more than 1,000 ancient books on both sides.
gave Xiao Juechen the impression that it was like the office of some old cadres in his previous life.
However, because it is ancient, it does not look old-fashioned, but has an elegant bookish atmosphere.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a black and silver robe sat behind the desk, reading a yellowed and wrinkled ancient scroll.
