Zhou was taken back to the outer gate by a lineage disciple, and only arrived at the outer gate after half a day. After arriving at the Zhengyang Sect, Zhou Shi did not enter the water and rice, and asked the lineage disciples who sent him, "Senior brother, where are all these outer disciples eating?"

The lineage disciple replied, "The outer gate is a vast area, and I don't know much about the area where Keqing lives. After you get the nameplate of the guest secretary, the inner disciple who manages the guest will give you a detailed introduction. ”

Seeing that this inheritance disciple was quite cold, Zhou followed silently, not talking to him.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, he arrived at a two-story building, and the lineage disciple brought him in.

When two yawning disciples saw someone coming, they immediately opened the register and sat upright, and one of them cleared his throat.

The disdain on the face of the inheritance disciple who brought Zhou was undisguised, and he brought Zhou Chu to the two of them, "The new guest Qing, the two junior disciples are on the record. ”

"Naturally, naturally. Senior brother, rest assured, it is our duty to record the identity of the guest. The disciple who cleared his throat accosted.

"I'm still going to retreat and impact the Yuan Infant Realm, so I'll leave first. Without waiting for anyone to talk, he walked out. When he walked to the main gate, he paused slightly, and said to the two disciples who were in charge of registration, "This is the head of the sect who personally ordered the guest secretary, don't be embarrassed." ”

How transparent his thoughts were around, he immediately understood that this registry office was by no means a good one, and looked at the distant inheritance disciples, and felt a little more grateful in his heart.

Sure enough, the disciple in charge of registration listened to what the lineage disciple said, and immediately became depressed again. Speech became soft, "Name?"

"Around. ”

"Subject?"

"Nope. ”

The registered disciples wrote "Exiles" on the registration book. The next question was a little less contemptuous, "Xiuwei?"

"No, there isn't. ”

"Monk. "After the registered disciple wrote down the cultivation of the Zhou Division, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the Zhou Division confidently, so that he thought that the person who had no background and no cultivation was actually the head of the hand-picked guest. If it weren't for the noble status of the inheritance disciple, he would not have believed it if he was killed, and he would only accumulate virtue in his previous life.

The registered disciple took a nameplate, recorded the information of the Zhou Division, handed it to the Zhou Division, and said routinely, "This nameplate is put away, and you can enter and exit the outer door with the nameplate." The man also went on to say: "It stands to reason that our brother has worked hard to register, and the guest has to give something, but you are a homeless person, so forget it." ”

It turned out to be a request for benefits. Zhou Chu understood the greasy nature of this registration office, and he didn't care, and took out the fifty taels of gold sent by Fusu, "The two senior brothers have worked hard, and a little bit of meaning is not respectful." ”

When they saw Zhou Chu stretching out his hand into his arms, the two registered disciples were still full of anticipation, but when Zhou Chu handed over the gold, they didn't reach out to take it, "Senior brother, keep it." Keqing has more places to spend money. ”

Zhou Chu snorted coldly, put the gold in his arms, and left the registry directly.

After leaving the registration office, I looked around at the paths that led in all directions, not knowing where to go, and the hunger in my stomach came at an inopportune time.

"This junior brother stayed. ”

Turning around, he saw that it was the one who spoke less among the registered disciples.

Zhou Chu was disdainful in his heart, but he still said respectfully, "Senior brother, is there something wrong?"

"You hold the nameplate in your hand, and you can see the map of the outer gate with a slight movement of your mind, and the red area is not to be visited. The blue dot is the teleportation circle of the sect, but it requires more spirit stones to use, and only the 'standing bookcase' is not used to use spirit stones. After introducing the use of the Keqing nameplate, the visitor did not stop, but continued, "In the past hundred years, the Keqing Office has become a place where people from all over the world are not suitable for cultivation and get the identity of Zhengyangmen people. Fifty taels of gold is barely enough to survive in the East Market for a few days, and the junior and junior disciples can go to the 'Standing Bookcase', where there is a free meal supply, and they can also consult the classics of condensation practice, and reach the fifth level of condensation or pass the disciple test to be promoted to an outer disciple. ”

After saying this, the registered disciple left in a hurry, he pointed around because of a momentary kindness, but he really didn't want to waste too much time here.

Zhou Shi thanked the back of the registered disciple in an inaudible voice.

After seeing the registered disciples enter the registration office, they took out the nameplate from the surrounding area, checked the teleportation circle closest to the registration office, and walked to that place, the summer was scorching, and the stomach around was hungry and unbearable, and the big drops of sweat rolled down, and when they walked to the teleportation formation, their clothes were soaked with sweat.

The standing bookcase is a nine-story octagonal tower, the tower body is built with black rectangular boulders, and the whole tower looks simple and solemn. At the top of the tower, a man in his forties is meditating cross-legged, exuding bursts of spiritual pressure, indicating the protective power of the octagonal tower.

In fact, the standing bookcase is already located in the center of the inner door, which is the most important place for the Zhengyang faction to eliminate the sky city. The Zhengyang Sect's cultivation classics from Condensation Qi to Tianzun are all stored in the tower, and there is a powerful guard who has stepped into the Dao realm all the year round.

Zhou Zhi didn't care about other feelings at this time, staggered into the tower, and asked an old man with white hair, "Uncle, where can I eat?"

"No noise is allowed in the tower. The old man glared around, "The old man is a deacon at this level, you should call me Lord Deacon." It's past noon, and the next supply will be until unitary time. ”

"Alas. Zhou sighed helplessly, so he had to find a nearby place to sit down and wait for the next meal, he really couldn't walk.

In saying that this tower, the diameter of the outside is only more than ten meters, but there are a hundred zhang square circle inside, densely filled with bookcases, and the name of "standing bookcase" is well deserved.

There are tables and chairs in the space in front of the bookcase, much like a large library on Earth, where countless disciples consult and study various classics.

"Wow. Lying on the table, he looked up and saw the deacon knocking on his table, "Go to bed and go back to your dwelling." "The deacon was very angry with the circumstance.

Zhou reluctantly walked to the nearest bookcase, pulled out a book and returned to his seat to sit, turned a page at random, and began to stare at the book in a daze.

"You read a page for two quarters of an hour. The deacon kept his eyes on Zhou.

I didn't raise my eyelids everywhere, "I'm thinking." ”

The deacon was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "You still have to think about this kind of condensation period?"

"If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die." Zhou Shi blurted out.

The deacon raised his hand and stroked his beard and repeated slowly: "If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die." Boulevard. ”

For a moment he couldn't figure out the situation around him, and the deacon didn't bother him, but paid more attention to the place where he sits, and turned around from time to time.

Zhou had to turn a page every three or five quarters of an hour, and then continue to be in a daze.

Finally got through to the unitary time, Zhou saw the disciples with all kinds of delicacies from the front rushing in, a plate of delicacies passed in front of Zhou Chu, every time Zhou couldn't say his name, but every aroma attracted the index finger, and secretly thought in his heart: The treatment of scholars is very good, after all, it is the future of the sect.

The disciples took the food and walked straight through the hall, walked to the other side of the tower, and went up to the second floor. Then another group of disciples entered, and the food served was still full of color and flavor, but the intuition around was a little bit better than the previous batch, and this group of disciples also went up to the second floor. In this way, every time I walked into the tower, there were more disciples than the last time, but the quality of the food was getting worse and worse, and then it was ordinary roast chicken, sea fish, beef, etc., but these also went up to the second floor.

It wasn't until the eighth batch of disciples who sent food that they didn't go up to the second floor, and the food was also coarse grains in large barrels, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Show me a bunch of delicacies first, and then let us eat coarse grains, damn mentally retarded." ”

Disdainful, grabbed the food and was not ambiguous at all, took a bowl of porridge with his left hand, took a piece of sweet potato with his right hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and then grabbed another piece.

When the deacon saw this scene, he immediately understood what Zhou Di was thinking before, obviously he was too hungry to see it, and he was going to drive Zhou out if he didn't get angry. But when I thought of the sentence that contains the Tao like 'learning without thinking, and thinking without learning will perish' come out of Zhou's mouth, I still endured it.

Two quarters of an hour later, the disciples who had delivered the food left one by one. What made Zhou Shi the most angry was that the first batch of food delivered was taken out untouched.

After putting the books back on the bookshelf, the deacon swaggered away from the main entrance, and when he saw this, the deacon decided that Zhou was here to eat and drink, and his beard was cocked.

Zhou Di did not go far, but took out a cigarette and a lighter at the door of the tower and lit a cigarette, a puff of smoke came out of his mouth, Zhou Chu's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the distance of the standing bookcase, Han Dumo, the disciple who received them first, was standing there, and when he saw Zhou Chu, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and walked towards Zhou. Zhou Shi took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, reluctantly stepped on the remaining half, and turned back to the tower. The deacon stopped him directly, "Why are you doing it again, you don't serve supper." ”

Zhou knew that the deacon was angry, he didn't look at anything all afternoon, he just ran to eat a meal, and he was not annoyed, he just thought the deacon was interesting. Bowing down is a bow, "If the disciple comes to consult the cultivation classics, please ask the deacon for guidance, the classics in the early stage of condensation." ”

When the deacon heard this, he took a deep breath and resisted the urge to beat him around. The classics that Zhou took before were used to condense the Great Perfection to impact the foundation, and when he saw Zhou said the words containing the Great Dao, it was still the Zongmen Tianjiao to impact the foundation, and at this time, Zhou was not angry when he wanted to condense the classics in the early stage.

As a deacon, his duty is to maintain order on the first floor of the bookcase, and it is not good to drive out the disciples who are going to practice, and he also knows that Zhou Zhi was hungry before, so he had to do it. With a wave of his hand, a scroll of the book flew from a distance and fell into his hand.

The deacon handed the book in his hand to Zhou, "Let's practice well." ”

Zhou took the heavy classics, and was depressed, obviously there are books, why don't you give me a roll of bamboo slips. He didn't dare to ask for a change of books, for fear that the deacon would be really angry and drive him out, so he found a place to sit down and unfolded the bamboo slips.

The four big characters of "Purple Air Comes from the East" came into Zhou's eyes.
