Chapter 280: The Scripture Building
In the early morning of the next day, Ling Yu finished freshening up and was ready to go to Tang Ze's residence, and asked him to lead him into the Tibetan Scripture Building and read the "Ancient Tibetan Divine Formula". Just as Ling Yu was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by Wu Dao.
Wu Dao looked at Ling Yu who was about to leave, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, he crouched in Ling Yu's ear and said softly: "Xiao Yu, I heard that the scripture collection building of Shenwu Academy is the most extensive collection of books in the entire Huaxia Continent, if you can, you can see if you can 'borrow' a few books, let us also take a look!" Wu Dao said "borrow", in fact, he took out a few books, saying that the good ones are borrowed, and the bad ones are called stealing!
"Fat Wu, you're crazy! You don't know that there are saints guarding the Zangjing Building, and wanting to 'borrow' books under their noses is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth! But ...... I'll do my best!" Ling Yu listened to Wu Dao's words, a hint of a thief flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled.
When Ling Yu came to Tang Ze's residence, he found that he had been waiting for a long time. The two of them did not have any extra polite words, and went directly to the Tibetan Scripture Building. Last night, after Tang Ze and the others came back from Ling Yu's residence, they rushed to the Tibetan Scripture Building non-stop, and explained to Jing Yi that Ling Yu and the four of them had triggered the ban on the Escape Mountain. In fact, at the beginning, Jing Yi didn't approve of Ling Yu entering the Scripture Building, because the Scripture Building had the rules of the Scripture Building, and any cultivator who had not reached the Kui Star Realm was not qualified to enter. It wasn't until Tang Ze said that Wu Dao had portrayed the Great Array of Heavens and concealed everyone from approaching the Escape Mountain that Jing Yi had a hint of retreat. Because the Shenwu Academy is at the time of employing people at this time, Wu Dao is the first to look forward to Ling Yu, what they want to do is to win over, not to exclude.
In fact, the reason why Jing Yi didn't let Ling Yu enter the Tibetan Scripture Building was also for his consideration, because everyone in the world knew that there were many precious exercises hidden in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. When a cultivator enters the scripture building, it is easy to be greedy and ambitious. Practicing exercises that you can't control at all, resulting in demons, and your cultivation stops. Jing Yi had secretly spied on Ling Yu's tragedy, knowing that he would be the dragon and phoenix in the future, he was holding a heart of cherishing talents, so he didn't want Ling Yu to come into contact with the classics in it too early.
When the two came to the scripture building, Jing Yi was playing chess with Dao as usual. Dao Yi holds the black zi, Jing Yi holds the white zi, although Ling Yu does not know chess, but it can also be seen that the black zi at this time has occupied an absolute advantage.
"Hahaha, Brother Daoyi, this is the third set I lost to you today, don't play it, don't play it. Seeing that Ling Yu and the others had come to the Tibetan Scripture Building, Jing Yi smiled and waved his hand to Dao Yi and said loudly.
"Actually, the reason why I won today is not because of how superb my chess skills are, but because your heart is not quiet. You are a cultivator, and you should know better than me that if you don't have a quiet mind, everything you do will backfire. Dao stroked his white beard with one hand and laughed softly.
"Those who know me, Dao is also an old brother. Haha, these few days because of the incident in the Escape Mountain, it really makes me a little uneasy. Forget it, don't think about it, I'll arrange for Ling Xiaozi to enter the Tibetan Scripture Building first, and when his affairs are done, I'll come and learn chess skills with Brother Daoyi. After Jing Yi finished speaking, he came to Ling Yu and the others, nodded at them, and motioned for the two to follow him. Then, Jing Yi turned around and walked towards the Tibetan scripture building.
Tang Ze looked at Ling Yu, and the two followed closely and came to the front of the scripture building.
Jing Yi is the pavilion master of this generation of scripture building, and only he can open the scripture building. Because the key to the scripture building is very miraculous, it is made of energy bodies. Before each generation of pavilion owners take over, the previous generation of pavilion owners will teach the use of the key alone.
Jing Yi came to the door of the scripture building, only to see him raise his hands and gently press on the door. When Jing Yi's hands came into contact with the door, he saw his palms overflowing from the palms of the Dao blue halo, those halos flowed to the door, and then followed the pattern on the door, and finally, the whole door emitted a light blue light, like a dream. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the key to this scripture building had actually been integrated into Jing Yi's body. What is even more unimaginable is that the door of the Scripture Building is so mysterious.
With Jing Yi's movements, the door of the building made a soft "squeak". I saw that the two wooden doors were slowly opening to both sides as if they were poured with gold and stone. When the wooden door was fully opened, a desolate and simple atmosphere came out from the inside of the scripture building.
"Don't underestimate these two wooden doors, although the door of the Hidden Scripture Building is wooden, but it is an ordinary wood that can be seen in the extraordinary, it is the Wuji wood collected by the first generation of the Pavilion Master of the Shenwu Academy from the Extraterrestrial Star Domain, and its hardness is comparable to that of an immortal-level weapon. Tang Ze explained to Ling Yu.
"Xiao Tang, Ling boy, you two come in with me. After Jing Yi opened the door, he turned his head and said to Tang Ze and the others. It should not be easy to open the Scripture Building, because at this time, beads of sweat were already oozing from the tip of Jing Yi's nose.
This was Ling Yu's first time entering the Scripture Building, and when he stepped into the building, he was deeply shocked. Directly facing the gate of the Tibetan Scripture Building is a path about six feet wide, paved with bluestone, and spotless. On both sides of the road, wooden bookshelves about a foot high stand and are filled with a variety of books. And on the side of the bookshelf, there is also a piece of white paper, on which is written in a juanxiu font to say what kind of people are suitable for people to read the books here. Ling Yu followed Jing Yi forward and walked a distance of five zhang, and a flight of stairs appeared in front of him.
Jing Yi stopped at the top of the stairs, turned his head to Ling Yu and said, "Boy, if you look back, the nine rows of bookshelves in front of me are all books that Returning Yuan Realm cultivators can read, a total of nine thousand five hundred and twenty-seven. ”
Ling Yu followed Jing Yi's gaze and turned her head to sweep back, her mouth growing in surprise. Behind him stood nine rows of bookshelves, each of the same size and material, densely packed with ancient books. Moreover, when Ling Yu's gaze swept over these ancient books, he found that there was a gaze hidden in the shadows that was also watching him. He knew that someone was spying on him, but he couldn't sense where that person was. Ling Yu knew that the person who was secretly hiding should be one of the five saints guarding the scripture building.
"Don't look for it, Zhang Lao is indifferent by nature, he is just to guard the Tibetan Scripture Building, if you have no bad intentions, he will not show up. Let's go, let's go upstairs. Jing Yi seemed to know what Ling Yu was thinking, he patted Ling Yu on the shoulder and said softly.
Ling Yu and Tang Ze followed Jing Yi to the second floor, and as soon as they reached the staircase, Ling Yu smelled a faint fragrance. It is a fragrance similar to a mixture of grass and flowers, and it is refreshing to smell it.
"This is a special spice made by Senior Liu to protect books from being eaten by insects and ants, and Senior Liu is also the only female cultivator among the five saints stationed in the Tibetan Scripture Building. Jing Yi picked up an ancient book on the bookshelf and said softly.
Ling Yu raised his head and looked around at the second floor of the Hidden Scripture Building, and found that the layout here was very similar to the first floor, the only difference was that there were five rows of bookshelves here, and there was also a white piece of paper on the side of the bookshelf, which read: Kui Yuan Realm. Ling Yu guessed that this place should be all books suitable for Kuiyuan Realm cultivators. Although there are not as many ancient books as in the first layer, he roughly estimated that there should be at least more than 5,000 books.
When the three of them arrived at the third floor, they found that there were significantly fewer books than the first two floors, as there were only three rows of bookshelves. Jing Yi told Ling Yu that there were all books suitable for cultivators in the Trapped Dragon Realm to read, and there were a total of 1,365 books.
"Let's go, there's two more floors up there. Jing Yi didn't stay here too long, but glanced at it directly, then turned his head and walked upstairs. Although the books here were precious, they were not suitable for Ling Yu at this time, so Jing Yi did not explain them in detail.
When the three of them walked to the fourth floor, Ling Yu obviously felt that this place was very different from the first three floors. Not only because the cultivation of the people who are secretly guarding is more powerful, but also because the books of this fourth layer seem to have spirituality. They seem to have their own consciousness, and they exude a unique attraction in the dark, which makes people involuntarily want to touch them and look at them. Ling Yu never thought that the book would have its own consciousness. He shook his head and felt it again, only to realize that his feelings were not wrong, and those ancient books were attracting him. He bit the tip of his tongue and closed his eyes slightly, forcing himself to calm down while running a heart purification spell to ward off the distractions of books.
Jing Yi looked at Ling Yu's actions and nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He deliberately stayed here for a while, the purpose of which was to test Ling Yu. As a cultivator, in addition to the courage to move forward, you also need the will to resist temptation.
Seeing that when Ling Yu opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear and there were no distracting thoughts, Jing Yi opened his mouth and said, "The reason why the books here will tempt you is because they are all books that can only be read by Supreme Realm cultivators. Jing Yi slowly paced to the window, looked at the bright sky, and sighed softly: "Everyone in the world respects the exercises, and thinks that only the strongest exercises can create the strongest invincible. Actually, I thought so at first, but now I realize that I was wrong. There are tens of thousands of cultivators in the world, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. The true strongest people do not rely on exercises to reach the pinnacle, their true invincibility is the fearless heart, which is the foundation of a cultivator's pride in the crowd. ”
Jing Yi paused, and then said: "It is precisely because people have an almost pathological obsession with the supreme power that many cultivators have obviously not enough realm, but they still have to practice unparalleled exercises, so that they have inner demons, and their cultivation path has been cut off since then. And the reason why you feel as if these ancient books are tempting you just now is that what really tempts you is your own heart, the thirst for supreme power, and the greed that you hope to achieve overnight. There is never a shortcut to the path of cultivation......"
Ling Yu knew that this was Jing Yi reminding himself, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said gratefully: "Thank you seniors for reminding me, Ling Yu wrote it down." ”
"Hmm!" Seeing Ling Yu's sincere appearance, Jing Yi nodded with satisfaction, and with a flick of his right hand, a burst of sandalwood aroma rose up. When the fragrance was permeating, Ling Yu's restless heart gradually calmed down.
"Let's go, the "Tibetan Ancient Divine Formula" you want to see is on the last floor, there is a forbidden area, and many teachers from the academy are not qualified to enter, you kid, you can be regarded as picking it today, hahaha!" Jing Yi turned his back and quipped Ling Yu with a chuckle.
The three of them walked up to the fifth floor, which was much wider than the other four floors, and the books here were not placed on shelves, but were packed in quaint boxes, a total of ninety boxes distributed in the fifth floor. And at the back of the box, there was an old man, this old man was immortal, and his hair was white. This person Ling Yu knew, it was Qi Lao who accompanied everyone in the Sumeru space at the beginning.
"Ling Yu has seen his predecessors!" Ling Yu walked five floors, and finally saw a guardian, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said loudly.
"Well, okay, you kid actually crossed the catastrophe, I remember that when you were in the Sumeru space, you were in the Kuidou realm, and now it's actually out of the body realm, not bad, not bad!" Qi Lao looked at Ling Yu and said with a kind smile.
"Senior Jing, why do the books here have to be packed in wooden boxes?" Ling Yu asked softly as he looked at the wooden boxes placed in the shape of a ladder on the table in front of him.
"Because, every book here is an exercise that can stir up the bloody rain of China!" Jing Yi looked at the wooden box in front of him, his eyes were like electricity, and he said in a deep voice.
