Chen Shiyi, accompanied by Yue Ning'an, walked to the mountain behind Genyue.

The early summer nights have gradually become long, and a full moon hangs overhead, emitting a cold glow and sprinkling silver on the ground. The trees on the mountain are verdant, obscuring all the scenery, and on such a night, it seems particularly lonely and desolate.

Following the sound of the gurgling stream, turning the stone bridge plank road next to the mountain stream, Yue Ning'an stopped: "It's here." ”

Chen Shiyi raised his eyes and looked, there is a mountain gate archway in the middle of the valley, behind the archway is a huge sinkhole, looming in the night, the sinkhole is surrounded by railings, it seems to exude a starry, eerie light, as if it will open its mouth at any time to devour everything in front of it.

"This is the Library?"

The young man looked at Yue Ning'an suspiciously.

"If you have to look closer, you can't really see it here."

Yue Ning'an led the young man to walk forward, and when he passed the archway of the mountain gate, he saw that the archway was engraved with five big characters: Tieqin Bronze Sword Tower.

Walking to the edge of the sinkhole, Chen Shiyi looked down against the railing.

I saw that this sinkhole is dozens of zhang deep, all around is the attic house that is built along the mountain wall and hangs in the air, carved railings and painted buildings, row upon row, connected with the corridor plank road whole, intricately intertwined, extends down from a high place, and some attics are still lit up.

At the bottom of the sinkhole, a palace-like courtyard with two high floors in front and back, connected by the hall, is entrenched in the center in the shape of an I-shape, and the front hall is brightly lit and the figures are building.

Yue Ning'an took Chen Shiyi down the trestle to the bottom, came to the front of the hall and pushed the door in, looking at the other party's somewhat struggling appearance, the young man suddenly found that in addition to the wooden furniture, the whole palace was actually cast in bronze, and it was completely integrated; The copper pillars, copper beams and copper bricks on the ground are all carved with complex runes and patterns.

The young man couldn't help but be stunned: such a luxurious and huge project can only be completed with the strength of the whole country.

Entering the main hall, the first thing that catches your eye is a huge notice wall, about two zhang high, the width accounts for almost seventy percent of the main hall, which marks the whole map of the territory of the dynasty, and even the surrounding countries are also, there are hundreds of wooden signs hanging on the map, there are handymen standing on the movable stairs, at the request of the steward and the viewer, keep hanging the wooden signs with a pole and under the fork.

In front of the notice wall, a circle of counters is enclosed in a concave shape, including the handymen who do the work, and the colleagues who are watching outside.

In the side hall, through the window lattice, you can see someone sitting at the desk under the lamp.

It's just that this place doesn't look like a library of books, but like the lobby of a tea shop and tavern, especially the counter, which is similar to the place where the shopkeeper stays, that is, the wooden sign is not a dish.

As if seeing Chen Shiyi's doubts, Yue Ningan opened his mouth and introduced:

"This library pavilion, also known as the Iron Qin Bronze Sword Tower, was originally a damaged magic weapon in the previous dynasties, and after being restored by the imperial court, it was used to collect the world's practice exercises. During this period, all kinds of exercises and weapons left over from the past dynasties have been collected, and they are as vast as a sea of smoke......"

……

After a few moments, the boy finally understood the rules.

Chongli Division belongs, there are only four ways to choose the practice method when entering the cabinet, and if one of them is satisfied, you can choose any applicable exercise to observe it:

If the newcomer is recommended by the officer, he can choose it once; The lower four realms are promoted to the middle four realms, and you can choose them once; In the triennial internal competition of the Yamen, the top three in each realm can be selected once.

For the rest, merit will be exchanged for entry qualifications, especially the blades and top-level exercises hidden in the building, which can only be exchanged for merit.

The wooden sign on the notice wall in the main hall is the various cases reported by the local branches and requesting the support of the Yamen headquarters. After accumulating a certain amount, you can re-enter the library.

Therefore, even at the beginning of the lanterns, there are many colleagues here looking for tasks that suit them, as long as they get merit, they can not only exchange for the things they like, but also get promoted and make a fortune, which is really a good balance between public and private.

It's just that the better the thing, the higher the merit required, and there are several collections, and it is said that ordinary school captains may not be able to exchange them for twenty years of accumulation.

The young man couldn't help but say in a speech: "Do you also have the cultivation exercises of the Upper Four Realms?" How much merit does that take, isn't it impossible to change it in a lifetime? ”

Yue Ning'an's expression was a little strange, and he pointed to the top of his head and said: "You don't need to change the exercises of the Upper Four Realms, it's on the cliff, and you can copy it casually." ”

"Huh?" Chen Shiyi didn't understand.

"There is no complete Upper Four Realms exercises, at most there is only a prelude, and it is impossible to cultivate at all. In the past, there were people who went to look through it, but later, no one went. Yue Ning'an seemed to be a little emotional, looked around and said: "Even so, many of the exercises of the Middle Four Realms and the remnants of the Upper Four Realms here are also exchanged for blood by countless predecessors in the secular world. ”

"Why is that?"

"Mountain Gate!"

Yue Ning'an helped the young man go through the formalities, and reminded him: "The outline of the exercises is in those attics on the mountain wall, and if you choose the one you like, you can come to the main hall to exchange for the original; The original copy must be copied on the spot and must not be taken out. I'll lead you here, and then you can choose for yourself. ”

Just as he was about to say goodbye, he remembered something that was more important to the young man: "The yamen is in charge of the rice, but don't miss the meal, the bell will ring." If you miss the meal and eat a small stove in the library, it will make you feel distressed to death. ”

……

Meanwhile.

In the retreat house of the Yamen of the Chongli Division, Qi Wuya was reporting to Father-in-law Yu about all the things that happened during the process of accompanying the young man into Beijing.

Father-in-law Yu rubbed the four jieji jade wrenches on his thumb and groaned: "You mean, Chen Shiyi went to the bottom of the sea in two months, and entered the desire to seize in more than six months?" And you haven't taught any body forging cultivation methods? ”

"Yes, except for seeing that in the process of fighting with Yue Ning'an, his subordinates actually stole the Dream Shattering Knife to the beginning of a god, which is rare in the high world, so he pushed the boat down the river and left twenty-one sword intent in his body to help him, and his subordinates did not dare to teach anything else. Even his subordinates thought that Chen Shiyi's cultivation method was a secret technique taught by your father-in-law, so he didn't ask in detail in case there was any obstacle. How do you know that your father-in-law ......"

"This official is because of his special qualifications, and he plans to wait until he returns to Beijing to discuss it carefully with Lord Si Zheng, so he did not pass on his cultivation method. Unexpectedly, he was able to cultivate to the realm of seizing desire, and even defeated Qi Diao in one move. Could it be that there really be people in this world who are born to know? "Father-in-law Yu is full of doubts and can't get the essentials.

"But ......," Qi Wuya wanted to say and stopped.

"It's nothing, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"Chen Shiyi's body is indeed different from ordinary people, and it is very strange that his subordinates have investigated the veins of this young man's body."

"Oh, how?"

"Ordinary people's cultivation is nothing more than corresponding to the seven acupoints, first cultivating the seven chakras in the body, and then absorbing the aura of heaven and earth in the meridians in the body, and then connecting the seven chakras from the three veins, repeating the cycle, and finally converging in the mortal acupoints outside the body, and then the three flowers gather at the top, and the four realms are consummated.

But Chen Shiyi didn't seem to have three veins in his body...... It can't be said that there are none, but there are too many meridians, and his subordinates can't find out where his three veins are; What's even more strange is that he obviously has the strength of the Desire Snatching Realm, but there is no obvious Desire Snatching Wheel in his body, and even his subordinates have not found the Submarine Snatcher. ”

"Impossible! Before entering Yushan, the miscellaneous family, together with the imperial doctor, used various methods to diagnose this child's body, and it was the same as ordinary people! Except for the birth of the fetus itself, the slow beating of the heart, and the ability to breathe with skin, at most, the recovery from the injury is beyond imagination, and there is nothing else special...... And then there's the ability to eat some ......."

"Then my father-in-law once said that he was shackled?"

"The congenital body of the fetus, the blood veins run slowly, and it takes external forces to open the shackles from time to time to help its meridians be smooth, which is common sense, and it is nothing. What's more, for thousands of years, I have never heard of cultivation without the three chakras and seven chakras! Unless he's not human! ”

Father-in-law Yu pondered for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason, so he had to explain to Qi Wuya: "This matter needs to be kept silent, and it must not be spread outside!" ”

"Yes! Subordinates understand! ”

……

In the Iron Piano and Bronze Sword Building, Chen Shiyi was strolling floor by floor.

It's really a lot of volume.

The young man looked at the attic one by one, there were many bookshelves inside, and there were all kinds of ancient books and classics for all kinds of practice, although they were all brief outlines, but he also saw that the young man was fascinated, and he lit the lamp and candle, and plunged in, ignoring the bell that was quietly ringing outside.

It wasn't until the aroma of the rice rose that the boy realized that it had already passed the meal, and his hungry chest was pressed against his back, and he couldn't calm down to find the exercises.

Gritted his teeth and called Xiaozao, two dishes and one soup, twenty steamed buns, vegan food, and asked Chen Shiyi and two taels of silver, so distressed that the young man licked the plate clean, and only made a bottom.

"How, this small stove in the Iron Piano and Bronze Sword Building tastes good."

Chen Shiyi turned his head when he heard the voice, and at some point, there was an old man in sackcloth standing behind him with a white beard and thin hair, looking at him with a smile.

Seeing that an elder asked, the young man stood up and said honestly: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's a little too expensive, well, it's too expensive." ”

"Small stove, there is a special person to serve, and the stove is alone, and it is also the meaning of being expensive."

"I don't dare to miss the meal tomorrow......" the young man said with deep reflection.

"You're new here, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Did you find an exercise that works?"

"Not yet, it's too much, I can't see it for a while."

"Don't be in a hurry, look for it slowly. It's late today, come back tomorrow. Give this lantern to you, take it, and next time those in charge will have to collect the money. ”

After the old man in Mai finished speaking, he reached out and patted the young man's shoulder with a smile.

"Thank you, old man."

Chen Shiyi said goodbye to the old man, carried the lantern, and went up along the plank road, in the direction of the time of coming, and went back to the courtyard.

The old man squinted and watched the figure of the young man gradually disappear, then he turned around, passed through the hall from the front hall, and walked to the apse, Lord Si Zheng and Gonggong Yu were present, and they were talking with a rickety old man who looked like a cook, and when they saw the old man in Mai coming back, the two stood up.

The old man in Mai waved his hand and said to Si Zheng and Father-in-law Yu, "It's a good little doll." Although it is true that there are no obvious three veins and seven chakras, it is full of qi and blood, full of vitality, and it will never be a monster and ghost; Moreover, in its corresponding acupoint, where the seven wheels should have been cultivated, the clouds and mountains were shrouded in mist, and several clouds of spiritual energy were gathered, perhaps, this is the form of the spiritual wheel that has not been recorded in the world is still unknown, and take a look. The things in this world are not known in the first place, and there are one or two strange ones. ”

"Master Xie Mo!"

"No thanks, no thanks. When people are older, they have eaten more for dinner, so they just take this opportunity to wander around and eliminate their appetite. The little doll is very interesting, and the old man will talk to him again tomorrow. And ......"

The old man in Mai looked at Si Zheng and said with a smile: "This son seems to have something to do with your sect." ”
