There are a total of 9981 library buildings in Gen Garden, every nine library buildings are surrounded by a circle, nine circles are set together, and the big circle is set with a small circle, so the more the library building is outside, the distance between the two is also larger, and even from the front, it is impossible to see that the library building is surrounded by a circle, and it must be overlooked from a high altitude, and the more the library building is inside, the smaller the interval is.

Qi Xuansu's library building is undoubtedly located in the innermost position, so these nine library buildings are almost next to each other, and there is only one alley left between the two sides, a total of nine, and the alleys between these buildings are sealed with spells visible to the naked eye, so that Qi Xuansu can't help but wonder, what is in the center of the nine circles? It's a pity that there is a hole in the library building, and the windows have never been opened at all, and Qi Xuansu can't see the back from the inside of the library.

On this day, Qi Xuansu, as usual, ended his routine knife practice, and after walking out of the stone room, he happened to meet Sun Hewu, who was also studying in the building, and the two went out of the library building together.

"Sun Zhenren." Qi Xuansu called the old man, stretched out his hand and pointed to the nearest alley, only to see that there was a crystalline translucent wall at the entrance of the alley that seemed to be condensed by black and white brilliance. In addition, the eighty-one library buildings themselves are a formation within a array, prohibiting all means of teleportation and flying within this range.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Why is there a formation barrier here?" ”

Sun Hewu then looked over, hesitated for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Do you want to ask what is in the middle of the Gen Garden behind the nine library buildings?" ”

Qi Xuansu nodded.

Sun Hewu sighed: "There was originally an isolated library building, independent of the eighty-one library buildings, named 'Tianshui Yixin Building', which was built by Confucianism in the Vientiane School Palace period, in which the collection of books are all solitary, rare books, and it is also a hundred schools of thought that cannot be spread outside, there are Taoism, soldiers, farmers, Yin and Yang families, vertical and horizontal families, famous families, Legalists, and the Mohist doctrine of Confucianism, which is the enemy of life and death, are all collected by the Confucian sages and hidden in it. ”

"In the past, the students in the school palace were never allowed to take half a step, even if it was sacrificial wine, they had to get permission to enter it. The rules in the library are even stricter, without the permission of the big sacrificial wine, it is not allowed to take it away, it is not allowed to copy, and even the time for viewing is limited, and the collection of books is forbidden by the Confucian sect, and the books cannot be taken off the shelves without permission. ”

Later, the Daomen rebuilt the Vientiane School Palace into the Vientiane Dao Palace, built the Upper Palace, and directly moved the library building from the lower palace to the Gen Garden, and made many improvements, opened a formation in this building, and connected the Taoist Department of Yujing. And with this 'Tianshui Yixin Building' as the center, the later eighty-one library buildings were built, forming the trend of arching and guarding. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Hewu sighed and said with regret: "It's just that something happened later, not only did the Dao Palace close this library, but even all the roads leading to this library were blocked, and no one was allowed to enter except for the Grand True Man of the Palace. Because of the haste of the incident, the collection of books in the 'Tianshui Yixin Building' has not been transferred, but it's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Qi Xuansu asked the crux of the whole thing: "Why did the Dao Palace block the 'Tianshui Yixin Tower'?" ”

"Because this is Zixiao Palace's order, Dao Palace must also obey it." Since he has started, Sun Hewu is no longer hiding.

Qi Xuansu was stunned for a moment.

Because to him, Zixiao Palace was actually a little unfamiliar. Since he returned to the Daomen, it was Jin Que who gave any orders or what decisions Jin Que made, so that the other core of the Dao Gate had been silent for a long time.

From the perspective of the Western Continent, the Eastern Continent is a dualistic structure, which means that there are two power cores, which restrain each other, cooperate with each other, and oppose each other to a certain extent. That is, after the collapse of the Confucian Great Wei Dynasty, which integrated politics and religion, politics and religion were separated, and in addition to the Daxuan Imperial Court that believed in Taoism, there was also a Daomen that directly represented the beliefs of the world. For most of the time before the Six Generations of Great Masters, the Daomen were even above the imperial court.

And inside the Daomen, it is also a dualistic system, that is, it has two centers: Zixiao Palace and Jinque.

Nominally, the Golden Gate is the highest authority of the Daomen, with thirty-six Counselors as the backbone, plus three deputy heads of the Great True Sect and an indefinite number of Pingzhang Great True Persons, but the supreme ruler of the Golden Gate is the Great Leader.

According to reason, Zixiao Palace is only the head of many Dao Palaces, and its status cannot be compared with Jinque, but the special thing about Zixiao Palace is that it is personally in charge of the Great Palm Sect. In this way, an interesting situation has been formed, Zixiao Palace is personally led by the Great Palm Sect, and Jin Que is also led by the Great Palm Sect himself, in a sense, the two are equal, just like the left and right hands of the Great Palm Sect.

At the earliest, especially in the Xuansheng era, Zixiao Palace was only the residence and study of the Great Palm Sect and the Lady of the Palm Sect, and the auxiliary in it did not have clear real power, but because of the huge prestige of the Xuansheng, Zixiao Palace, as a close minister, was able to know the thoughts and intentions of the Xuansheng, so its status during this period was extremely high, even if it was a real person, he did not dare to underestimate it, and even respectfully and flattered.

After the death of Xuan Sheng, the status of Zixiao Palace declined, and it was no different from ordinary Dao Palace. However, the three disputes intensified, and the power of the Great Palm Sect was limited by the Golden Que, and many major matters needed to be discussed by the Golden Gate. At the end of his reign, in order to centralize power, the second generation of the Great Palm Sect began to select his confidants to enter the Zixiao Palace as an assistant, adhering to the will of the Great Palm Sect to draft edicts and write edicts, so as to weaken the power of the Golden Que and transfer some of the functions of the Golden Que to the Zixiao Palace, making the Zixiao Palace increasingly powerful, although it has not yet recovered to the status of the Xuansheng era, but it has also become the head of the Dao Palace in essence.

Since then, the successive generations of the Great Palm Sect have continuously strengthened the authority of the Zixiao Palace, and when the five generations of the Great Palm Sect were in power, the Daomen used troops against the Buddhist Sect, and the Five Generations of the Great Palm Sect thought that the Golden Que procedure was too cumbersome, so they assigned a Pingzhang Dazhen and eight Counselors to enter the Zixiao Palace as an assistant, and these nine people also held the position of the nine Tang Zhangtang Zhenren, so many decisions at that time were from the Zixiao Palace, which made the power of the Zixiao Palace reach its peak, and was improved to the status of "Pingzhang World Important", and added eighteen deputy assistants under the assistant.

Because Zixiao Palace is completely under the direct control of the Great Palm Sect, it is equivalent to the private secretariat of the Great Palm Sect, and its lofty status and huge power come from the Great Palm Sect, and it cannot oppose the Great Palm Sect like Jin Que, so it is easy to bypass Jin Que, which is also the origin of the so-called Great Palm Sect.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for Jin Que to deny the various orders of Zixiao Palace.

According to the rules set by Xuan Sheng, the Golden Gate is the highest authority of the Daomen, not only can the Great Palm Sect be elected, but after the Great Council is held, as long as more than ninety percent of the members of the Golden Gate agree, they can even forcibly depose the Great Palm Sect.

In addition, Xuansheng also set the rules, the three deputy masters of the Great True Sect assisted the Great Palm Sect, and the four of them joined hands to take charge of the Dao Gate, if there was a difference of opinion between the four people, unless the three Great Masters of the Great True Person all objected, the Great Palm Sect would be the main one. In other words, as long as the three deputy head masters are in agreement, they can veto the orders of the Great Masters, and the Great Masters must have the support of one of the deputy heads of the Great Masters in order to completely implement their will.

However, considering that the Great Palm Sect was almost inevitably supported by the deputy Leader of the Great True Sect from his own faction, Xuan Sheng added another article that the major orders of the Great Palm Sect must go through the Golden Que, and as long as the number of opponents of the Golden Que exceeded twenty-four, then the Great Palm Sect's order could be vetoed.

The Xuan Sheng limited some of the power of the Great Palm Sect to prevent a certain faction from upsetting the internal balance of the Dao Sect because of the Great Palm Sect. Except for the reign of Xuan Sheng, after the other five generations of the Great Palm Sect ascended to the throne, the other two major factions would quickly form an alliance and balance the Great Palm Sect through numbers.

Of course, if it were not for the fundamental interests involved, the other two factions would not oppose for the sake of opposition, and more often they chose to obey the orders of the Great Sect. The point is that the interests of the two factions are not completely identical, and most of the time they can only agree on vetoes, but they cannot unanimously put forward their own decrees, so they are in a defensive position.

In addition, although the Great Palm Sect cannot depose the identity of the Shenzhi Zhenren, and must go through the Golden Gate to depose the Shenzhi Zhenren or the Pingzhang Dazhen, the power to appoint and dismiss the personnel of the Nine Halls and the local provincial government is still in the hands of the Great Zhangjiao.

It's just that Xuan Sheng still underestimated the ability of later people to take advantage of loopholes. The Great Palm Sect of the past dynasties used the power of appointment and dismissal of the Great Palm Sect to let the Lord of the Nine Halls concurrently serve as the assistant of Zixiao Palace, and then gave orders to the assistants of Zixiao Palace as the Grand Master of Zixiao Palace instead of the Great Palm Sect, so as to bypass the Golden Gate.

Unless Jin Que directly deposed the Great Palm Sect, he would not be able to restrict Zixiao Palace at all.

It is precisely with the support of Zixiao Palace that the Five Generations of Great Masters have the confidence to replace the three deputy masters who are not in line with their hearts, and truly monopolize power.

It wasn't until the six generations of the Great Palm Sect ascended to the position of the Great Palm Sect that under the impetus of the three deputy masters of the Great True Sect, they "set things right", and took the initiative to give up the Zixiao Palace, so that all of them served as assistants and returned to their respective positions, with Jin Que as the most important, but they were overturned by the three deputy masters of the Great True Sect with the numerical advantage of Jin Que, and the Zixiao Palace was silent.

On the other hand, if the three deputy masters of the Great True Sect, if they want to take charge of the Dao Sect, they must pass the Golden Que and promote the various resolutions of the Golden Que in the name of the rotating Great True Man, whether it is the Great True Person's Mansion, or the Wanshou Chongyang Palace, or the True Realm Courtyard, they can only realize the role of Zixiao Palace within their own Dao system, and looking at the entire Dao Palace, they cannot replace Zixiao Palace.

When the six generations of the Great Palm Sect soared and passed away, the throne of the Great Palm Sect was vacant, and Zixiao Palace directly became a plate of scattered sand, the dragons were leaderless, they were torn apart, and their status fell to the bottom of history, and Jin Que truly became a dominant family.

Therefore, for young people like Qi Xuansu, Zixiao Palace is even a little unfamiliar.

Qi Xuansu reacted immediately, and subconsciously said softly: "Which generation is the Great Sect Master?" ”
