Qin Yu ranked first, Yangpu was second, and Mo Yunqi was third.

If you enter the dragon pond to bathe, only the top ten can get the honor, and the top three rewards are the only copies from the royal family's library, as well as a number of gold, silver and jade silk rewards.

As the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the collection of books in its library should not be underestimated.

This made Qin Yu excited.

Before this, Qin Yu was very interested in stargazing and some Taoist spells.

As the first place in this competition, Qin Yu can choose three transcripts from them.

However, the book cannot be read by anyone else, and must be destroyed after it has been read by heart. If it spreads, this royal reward will become a life-urging charm in the blink of an eye.

As for the reward, after three days, the top three will be personally taken to the Book Hall by the people in the palace.

In Liyang City, in the Egret Academy.

Qin Yu was called to the study alone by Xia Zhixu.

In this regard, Qin Yu was not surprised, for other people, I am afraid that they have never heard of it, but for these great Confucians, they have definitely heard of it, and may even have seen it with their own eyes.

Xia Zhixu summoned him at this time, but he must have wanted to ask about the origin of Taiyin True Fire.

As for the rhetoric in this regard, on the way here, Qin Yu had already thought of the rhetoric, anyway, it was nonsense, as for believing it or not, it was Xia Zhixu's business.

Anyway, at this time, the matter of drought still can't be revealed.

It's not just the instructions of the Confucian senior, but also the fact that Qin Yu now feels a little strange about the fact that the drought was sealed back then.

The main reason is nothing more than the act of the Taiyin True Fire given by the drought shark that day.

In the face of Xia Zhixu's inquiry, Qin Yu was adamant that he had inadvertently obtained it from the vein stone after killing the demon path in Changle County.

Regarding this statement, Xia Zhixu was skeptical.

But even if he had doubts in his heart, he could only believe this statement at this time, because only this statement was convincing, otherwise, there would be no way to explain where Qin Yu got it.

The leylines of the earth were formed by the trend of mountains and rivers over thousands of years, and it is possible that there may be fires flowing in them in such a long time.

After all, there is such a thing as opportunity, which cannot be speculated on by common sense.

After asking for a long time to no avail, Xia Zhixu waved his hand and let Qin Yu leave.

No matter how this Taiyin True Fire came about, it was definitely a good thing for Egret Academy, and it was also a good thing for Xia Zhixu himself.

Looking at the back of Qin Yu leaving, Xia Zhixu's calm and waveless eyes also showed a bit of fiery, and muttered: "It seems that the old man has broken through the Great Confucianism and stepped into the general knowledge!" ”

Leaving the study, Qin Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart. At least for now, he should be skeptical of this rhetoric.

I stayed in the academy and rested for two days.

On the third day, the palace sent for it.

After Qin Yu saw the salute, he sat in the carriage with the inner eunuch and slowly drove towards the imperial city.

Outside the palace gate, Qin Yu also saw the other two who were late.

After greeting each other, they stepped into the palace gate together, walked along the corridor of Chaoyang Gate for half an hour, entered the West Garden, and then changed to a palace maid and continued to walk inside with the three of them.

The guards in the imperial city are still very strict, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and all of them are heavily armored soldiers equipped with strong crossbows.

If he was surrounded and shot by this group of people, Qin Yu would not dare to be completely sure that he would be able to leave unharmed.

After walking for another half hour, several people walked through the palace gate, passed through an atrium, and finally saw a five-story attic building.

"The three princes, in front of them is the Clerk's Pavilion, and the Holy Lord has already instructed the palace guards inside, as long as they come out, they can show the selected books."

The palace maid who led the way, after bending her knees slightly, handed the token in her hand to Qin Yu and the others.

"This is the token to go in."

Qin Yu and the three of them thanked her, and then took the token from her hand.

The three of them came to the Clerk's Pavilion, and after showing the token, the guards let a few people in.

Entering the pavilion, a few people found that there was no floor here, the books were piled up on the wall, and the plank road was built on the wall, and there was a staircase on the four corners of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and you could go along this staircase to the plank road where each floor of the book was stored.

The three of them looked up for a moment, nodded to each other, and then left to find the books they needed.

Let's not talk about what Mo Yunqi and Yangpu need for the time being.

Qin Yu had a strong sense of purpose anyway, he almost didn't reach the first floor, he took a cursory look, and found that he didn't have what he wanted, so he would immediately go to the next layer.

It wasn't until an hour had passed that he returned to the hall on the first floor with three books in his hand.

Stargazing, Taoist Formation Picture Book and Taoist Spell Annotations.

Anyway, each one is related to the Confucian scriptures.

When the other two saw the three books Qin Yu was holding, their expressions were a little strange.

This guy is crazy, a Confucian disciple, and he has three Taoist books. This is like a Buddhist family who specializes in the study of Lao Tzu Sutra, which is simply a bull's head and a horse's mouth.

If it were the same students in their own academy, the two would definitely be reprimanded. However, Qin Yu is from the White Egret Academy, so what does it matter to them.

The three of them got what they wanted, and they all left here satisfied.

Qin Yu held three books, came to the Egret Academy non-stop, locked himself in the room, and began to study carefully.

Time flickered, and seven days passed.

During this time, Qin Yu hid in his room every day, trying in vain to guess the meaning of the book.

However, these three books are memorized backwards, but it's a pity that Qin Yu looked at his IQ, except for some shallow truths that can be understood thoroughly, the rest is half-understood.

Putting the three books away, Qin Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that you still have to be taught by a famous teacher, otherwise, you won't be able to fully understand it at all."

"Maybe the next time I see Mo Qiyuan or Ning Chonghua, I can ask them for advice, maybe it can help me understand better."

Qin Yu shook his head helplessly, got up and left the room.

As soon as he walked to the door of the courtyard, he saw Zhang Miao walk in.

"Senior Brother Zhang, how can you have time to spread today, aren't you all in the study at this time on weekdays."

Qin Yu stepped forward and said hello.

"Come to you, the gate of the Longchi Underground Palace will be opened today, and the Holy Lord has already sent someone." Zhang Yu said.

"Dragon Pool?"

Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"I almost forgot, shall we leave now?"

Zhang Miao nodded and said, "The carriage is already waiting outside the door, let's go together." ”

"Okay."
