From the outside, the Ascending Heaven Pavilion was just an ordinary small attic, and it didn't even seem to be able to accommodate the dozens of people present.

But when everyone entered the attic gate, they found that their eyes suddenly opened up.

The interior of the small attic, which used to look like no more than an inch, was extremely spacious, and the first floor alone shone on the top of the pearls in a range of hundreds of feet, and the part in the dim light could not be seen.

For those who have been to the Heavenly Pavilion, this is not surprising, and they all understand that this is the effect of the Heavenly Pavilion's supreme treasure 'Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains'.

"A space of its own, hidden inside?"

The enchanting concubine of the Northern Qi Princess's mission sat on the gorgeous carving, pretending to be surprised and covering her red lips, looking at this Heavenly Pavilion with interest.

"Is this the country?"

"Sure enough, it is a supreme treasure that surpasses the Heavenly Treasure."

Most of the cultivators in Chonghua City were also coming to the Heavenly Pavilion for the first time, and they were also amazed by this legendary treasure.

After Lin Lan floated into the gate of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion on the sedan chair, he glanced around, and the sedan chair under him became slightly smaller at this time, otherwise the sedan chariot was too wide and he would not be able to enter the gate of the Ascending Pavilion.

This hall-like spacious space is divided by a beaded curtain, and the left and right ends seem to have no end in sight, and a screen partition can be seen inside the bead curtain.

"You've been waiting for a long time."

At this time, a beautiful woman wearing a Taoist robe came out from behind the screen, her temperament was as clear as a spring, wearing a black gold crown, a large-sleeved Taoist robe, and a brocade green feather skirt inside.

"Qi Daoyou." The palace master of the Taiyi Palace smiled and said, "You are the one who presides over the opening of the pavilion this time?" ”

"Zhang Daoyou." The beautiful Kun Xiu bowed slightly, and said, "Naturally, I came to open the pavilion to meet guests on the order of the pavilion master. ”

Immediately, she looked at Xuanyue Zhenren again, and said with a light smile: "I have admired Xuanyue Zhenren's name for a long time, and when I saw it today, Xuanyue Zhenren is really worthy of his reputation, and such a person who is about to soar is actually willing to come to my Heavenly Pavilion as a guest, which is really brilliant." ”

Characters on the verge of soaring?

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Xuanyue Zhenren in surprise, and there was more awe in their eyes.

Many people didn't know this Xuanyue Zhenren before, and they could only see that his status was not inferior to that of the Taiyi Palace Palace, and he was obviously a land immortal of the Dao Sect, but he didn't expect that he was about to soar?

This means......

This Xuanyue Zhenren has already cultivated a system of Heavenly Law to a consummate state, as long as he passes the test of the Heavenly Palace, he can soar, rank in the immortal class, and live forever.

is also a land immortal, and the difference is also very large.

Lin Lan was also a little surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Xuanyue Zhenren.

However, this is also reasonable, after all, the Demon Heavenly Master said that he was expected to ascend back then, and it was normal for his master to ascend soon.

"I know you, Qi Rushui."

Xuanyue Zhenren said lightly: "You went to Taiqing Palace back then, but I was in retreat at that time. ”

"If a real person is practicing in retreat, how dare the younger generation disturb him?" The beautiful Kun Xiu 'Qi Rushui' said with a smile: "The younger generation has not yet started to practice, and Xuanyue Zhenren is already a famous senior master in the world." ”

Xuanyue Zhenren shook his head slightly and said, "I have some questions I want to ask your pavilion before ascending, please start presiding." ”

Qi Rushui smiled and nodded, then looked at everyone, and said: "The pavilion master has an order, this time the pavilion can be opened to meet guests, five guests can be accepted, as the previous rules, as long as you can go up to the second floor, you can become my guest secretary of the Heavenly Pavilion, as long as you can go up to the third floor, you are qualified to become my Heavenly Pavilion 'guest secretary'." ”

The crowd responded silently.

None of this is a secret, it belongs to the well-known things at the top.

Only by becoming a guest secretary can you be eligible to trade with the Ascending Pavilion and purchase intelligence on the day of the opening of the pavilion.

If the status is high enough, the strength is strong enough, and the approval of the pavilion master, you can become the enshrinement of the Heavenly Pavilion, and the advantage is that you can trade and buy information at any time.

Including the personal guards of the pavilion master, they are also selected from the offerings.

And the 'Shangke Qing' means that the owner of the Heavenly Pavilion has to treat the important guests with respect, and the simplest advantage is that as long as the information of the person number is not transmitted, it is free, and it can even be 'credit'.

However, there is only one Shangke Qing in the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, and he is still a master of the Taoist Sect.

"Then, please come with me to the first floor."

Qi Rushui whispered, then turned around and walked behind the screen.

Everyone immediately bypassed the screen, only to find that behind the screen was an open door, inside which a bright and elegant hall could be seen, although it was also quite spacious, but with a piece of screen connected from end to end like a long snake, along the vertical partition, the entire hall was divided into more than a dozen corridors.

Through the screens and the crowd, I couldn't see Qi Rushui, I only heard her speak:

"You can disperse on your own."

After the dozens of people present dispersed in the long corridor separated by screens, the screens in front of everyone began to rotate slowly, dividing everyone into a small space that was blocked on three sides, and could only be circumvented from behind.

Immediately, Qi Rushui's voice sounded in the hall.

"My Heavenly Pavilion is a place to do business, and the Pavilion Master only likes to communicate with valuable and intelligent people, so ...... If you want to get this guest position, I will only test two points when I ascend to the Heavenly Pavilion, one is wisdom, and the other is value. ”

As he spoke, he saw white pieces of paper fly out of the air above the screen and fall into the hands of everyone who was obscured by the screen.

Lin Lan also saw two pieces of white paper fly in front of him.

After he caught it casually, he looked at the two rectangular pieces of white paper, although judging from the paper, it belonged to the high-quality paper invented by Tang Tianyuan, but it was just the most ordinary mortal thing.

"Each of you has two pieces of paper in your hands."

Qi Rushui's voice sounded in the hall: "One blank piece of paper is used to test your wisdom, and the other blank paper is used to let you write down the value of the treasure you are willing to pay." ”

She paused and said, "The Pavilion Master's test of your wisdom is a very simple question, you listen. ”

There was silence in the hall, and everyone in the screen immediately listened carefully.

"As the saying goes, if you climb high and look far away, if you climb to the sky, you can overlook the four seas and eight wildernesses.

"And after the pavilion master ascended to the sky to observe the world, he already knew the structure of heaven and earth.

"The pavilion master once said that although the heaven and the earth are large, their structure can be expressed only on a piece of paper.

"Excuse me...... How can there be only one side of a piece of paper? ”

After Qi Rushui asked this question, he paused, and then said:

"When you stick incense, please use one of the pieces of paper in your hands to express the structure of heaven and earth, do not damage the paper, as long as it is expressed, I will know it immediately and notify it.

"Then you can use another piece of paper to write the value you are willing to pay, whether it is a treasure, a secret, or a service to the Heavenly Pavilion, as long as you are willing to pay the value of the treasure, in the eyes of the Pavilion Master, you can become my guest in the Heavenly Pavilion.

"So...... Let's go. ”

Immediately, I saw a stick of sandalwood that lit up the fire, which had already floated into the air, enough for everyone to see clearly.

Everyone immediately began to think quietly.

There is no need to consider the value of the treasure you are willing to pay, and you have naturally thought about it before you come.

The difficult thing is the question of the pavilion master, the test of wisdom, in fact, it is also a secret of heaven and earth to the guests present, but the premise is to be able to guess the correct answer.

It's easy to say, but for those who don't understand, they will never understand.

The structure of heaven and earth?

Can you express it on a piece of paper?

A piece of paper that can only have one face?

Soon, after trying it a few times, most people looked at the paper in their hands and not only began to get confused.

A piece of paper must have two sides, how can there be only one side to a piece of paper?

Some people tried to put the paper on the ground, leaving only one side exposed, or rolling the paper up, but after trying several times, Qi Rushui did not notice, which was obviously wrong.

Cultivation is basically just a transformation in life, and there are many practitioners who have a bad memory, and there are very few exercises that have an impact on memory, thinking, and state of mind, let alone wisdom.

"One piece of paper, one side?"

Lin Lan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the long strip of paper in his hand, and couldn't help but think thoughtfully, "This...... Is it the fabric of this world? ”

He twisted the long strip of paper in half a turn, and then connected the two ends.

A Möbius strip was made.

At this moment—

"Mr. Lin Lan of Chonghua Academy, congratulations on your correct answer, please write down the value of the treasure you are willing to pay."

Qi Rushui's voice also sounded in the hall almost at the same time.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

So fast?

It's only been a few breaths, and I actually thought of the answer?

Or is this Lin Lan originally aware of the answer?

I have long known the structure of heaven and earth, so I can answer so quickly at this time?

Many people couldn't help but feel a little itchy and wanted to know what the answer was, but the screens separated on three sides also had the effect of shielding and probing, and everyone couldn't know how Lin Lan did it.

Besides, no one dared to cheat in front of the all-knowing Heavenly Pavilion Master.

"Really."

Lin Lan shook his head slightly, if he hadn't thought about other questions for a few seconds, he would have been able to complete it the moment he got the paper.

This topology seems to be very simple, but it is indeed a bit beyond the logic of normal people's thinking, if you don't know the answer, you have to think for a while.

The Möbius Strip, is the fabric of this world?

Although the world cannot be a flat two-dimensional like paper, if it is a similar theory, it must be...... There is no edge in this world?

He thought that this world might be a living planet in the same universe as the earth, or some other parallel world to the earth.

But...... That pavilion master can be called omniscient, so he can't even misunderstand the structure of a planet in space, right?

If it is really a borderless world structure similar to the Möbius Belt, then I am afraid it is not a planet in the universe......

Moreover, he observed the stars in the sky, and it is true that they are not the same as the stars seen on the earth, because ...... The stars are moving.

At this time—

"Master Empty Dust of the Buddha Sect, congratulations on your correct answer, please write down the value of the treasure you are willing to pay."

Qi Rushui's voice sounded in the hall again.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Lan's mouth, and he said secretly: "The little monk of the empty dust is quite fast, does he already know the structure of this world?" Or is it because of cleverness? ”

He and Kongchen are also quite friendly.

After all, Kongchen had saved people with him, and also helped him recite the mantra for Qiao Baiyue's remnant soul, which consumed a lot of mana to stabilize Qiao Baiyue's remnant soul and re-enter reincarnation.

He can be regarded as owing Kong Chen a favor, and sometimes he will have some contacts, so naturally he has a friendship.

Soon, Qi Rushui's voice sounded in the hall again: "Hengzhi Monk of the Buddha Sect, congratulations on your correct answer, please write down the value you are willing to pay." ”

Lin Lan looked at the other piece of paper and began to think about how much the treasure was worth.

The value that you are willing to pay, the greater you are, the more sure you are.

Before coming, the old national teacher also inquired and asked him to write down that the treasure that he could pay was a treasure of destruction.

The value of the Heavenly Treasure is naturally extremely precious, and there are not many people in the whole sect, mainly the relics of the Seven Saints and the first generation of national teachers, according to the old national teacher's estimate, as long as he passes the level of wisdom, plus the value of the Heavenly Treasure, he should be able to become a guest.

But......

Renzong had already helped him too much, and Lin Lan didn't want the old national teacher to pay such a big price again.

Moreover, he has a more secure approach.

"Although the Heavenly Treasure is precious, there are still some in the world, the Seven Saints have also broken the Robbery, and there are also the Heavenly Treasures, but even the Seven Saints don't know the secret, the value should be very high......

Lin Lan immediately used the pen as a finger pen and wrote a line of words on the paper.

……

Soon, the time for a stick of incense passed.

A total of seventeen people answered.

The two land immortals of the Taoist Sect, the two human arhats of the Buddha Sect, the concubine of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Ji Shouzun of the Pure Tiantai, these six high-level cultivators have long stood at the peak of cultivation, and they look at heaven and earth from different angles.

The remaining twelve people, except for Lin Lan and Kong Chen, turned out to be five people from the Taoist Sect.

Taoism blends heaven and earth, comprehends nature, and has a better understanding of heaven and earth.

The other five people, two are Buddhist practitioners, one is the patrol envoy of the Dayu Town Qiansi, one is the master of the Wen Hall of the Offering Palace, and one is the Nine Emperor Princes of Dayu.

The crown prince and King Xuan failed to answer this question, but I didn't expect the Nine Emperor Princes, who have always been silent, to answer it?

"It's time."

The next moment, the paper in everyone's hands turned into powder and fell on its own, including the paper with the gift written on it.

The screens used for partitions also disappeared out of thin air with the slight fluctuations in the space.

The crowd gathered in the hall again.

Qi Rushui stood in front of everyone and said, "There are a total of seventeen people who have passed the test of the pavilion master, and at this time, the pavilion master already knows the value of the treasures you are willing to pay, and now I will go and ask the pavilion master to elect five guest secretaries." ”

She paused, and then said: "However, the other twelve can pass the test, and I will not let you wait for the Heavenly Pavilion to come in vain, if there is anything you want to ask, you can prepare a question, and I will convey it to the Pavilion Master, if you are willing to pay the price, I can relay the answer." ”

After that, Qi Rushui turned around from the stairs and went upstairs.

Lin Lan calmly sat on the sedan chair, which was as small and delicate as a seat, thinking thoughtfully, even if he couldn't become a guest secretary, the price he paid should be enough for this pavilion master to inform him of his death.
