Wuji walked into the Tianshu Tower, Yingziqing carried the lamp and waited at the door.

Mowgli stepped forward to give a salute.

Ying Ziqing stuffed the lantern into Wuji's hand. "The great master is at the top of the tower, you can go up by yourself. Pay attention to the candles, the Heavenly Book Tower is full of books, but you can't be careless. If something happens, no one can be held responsible. ”

"Has something happened to the Heavenly Book Tower?" Wuji took the lantern and asked curiously.

"Three hundred years ago, I walked through the water once. ”

Wuji nodded: "Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me." He handed over a small box, and inside was ten Guiyuan Pills, which were pulled out of Xiao Ziyue's mouth. "Senior brother's promotion is imminent, congratulations. ”

Ying Ziqing's eyes lit up, took the locket, and turned to leave. With these Guiyuan Pills, even if he can't be promoted immediately, his cultivation will be much smoother.

Guiyuan Dan is a good thing, but he gets too little from formal channels, and he doesn't have so much money to buy it. Even if the Shi family broke the formula of Guiyuan Dan, officially launched Guiyuan Dan to the market, and began to accept reservations, the price of ten gold pieces was not something he could afford.

These Guiyuan Pills given by Wuji are undoubtedly the gifts he needs the most.

Wuji carried the lantern and walked into the Tianshu Tower, and walked up step by step along the spiral staircase in the center of the hall.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the queen in the guise of a great master walked down from the tower. Seeing that there was only one Mowgli, she restored her true appearance. She also carried a lantern, and in the vague light, her face was a little dazed, and her voice was a little erratic.

"What did you say to Ying Ziqing?"

"I gave him ten Guiyuan Pills, and I didn't say anything else. ”

"It's better not to say anything. The queen turned and walked over to a bookshelf. "Anyone is suspicious until the spy is found, and he is included. ”

Mowgli responded, remembering Ying's daring words: the collapse of the empire is imminent. He originally thought it was just a drunken talk that dared to be a god, but now it seems that it may not be the case. The queen's mentality of being a soldier is likely to be a reaction to the imminent crisis.

"Your Highness......" Wuji hesitated a little. I don't know if I should tell Queen Sù what Ying dared to say. He wanted to find out how serious the crisis of the empire was, but he didn't want to betray him.

The queen turned around and looked at Mowgli. "You seem to have something to say?"

"I ...... I've heard some rumors. Wuji relayed Ying Dang's words, but did not mention Ying Dang's name. "Your Highness, is it true?"

The queen laughed silently, lifted the lantern, pulled out a book from the shelf, and handed it to Wuji.

"It's not a rumor, you dare to say it, right?" the queen sighed softly. "Mowgli, in Xianyang City. Everyone has a mask, and only you show your face, whether you are happy or angry, it is all on your face. You're a glass man. ”

"What's wrong with the glass man?" Wuji said while looking at the book in his hand: "The glass man lives a simple and pure life. If I'm pure enough, full of silicon, without a single impurity, maybe I'll be able to unlock the Book of Heaven soon. ”

"What did you say?" the queen raised her eyebrows slightly. looked at Mowgli in bewilderment.

Mowgli smacked his lips, didn't explain the overly technocratic joke, and put the book back.

The queen looked at him suspiciously. "Done?"

"I'm done. Mowgli nodded. After opening the door, he has a good memory. Basically, you can do it without forgetting. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to memorize more than 1,000 exam questions in two days that have no logic at all.

The queen blinked, said no more, and continued along the bookshelf. He took out another book, handed it to Mowgli, and then stood quietly and waited. Holding a lantern to help Mowgli illuminate.

Mowgli is neither modest nor modest, turning the book page by page, and then putting it back on the shelf.

The two cooperated tacitly, and it didn't take long for them to finish reading the information related to the Hundred Variation Pill in the third-layer Heavenly Book Tower. Among them is the ancient recipe that Ying Ziqing showed him. Judging from what he saw, Ying Ziqing should not be lying, this recipe is indeed an ancient recipe.

"Is there a clue?" the queen looked at Wuji with burning eyes.

Mowgli shook his head.

"What's next?"

Wuji thought for a while: "I want to find information about Zhang Liang, the first great master. ”

"Okay, you come with me. The queen turned around and led Mowgli upstairs. She is now the figure of the queen, but she is wearing the clothes of a great master, and she looks a little too wide and empty, which makes people feel sad inexplicably.

The two of them went up to the twenty-third floor. The queen pointed to the scrolls on the walls. "This is the divine position of the seventeen great masters of the Great Qin Empire, and I hope you can be the eighteenth great great master. ”

Wuji glanced at it, there were eighteen shrines in the hall, and there were statues of great masters in the sixteen shrines, and next to them were scrolls of books. From the point of view of the form, there is no way to write the tools used by the first great teacher and the most recent great great teacher, and there is no historical progress.

There are also two shrines empty, one should belong to the old man Yingruoyu, and the other should belong to the eighteenth great master who has not yet been produced, it may be him, or it may be another person.

"Why are there only eighteen gods?" Wuji felt a little weird. "Could it be that the empire will only have eighteen great masters?

The queen stroked the god seat that belonged to Ying Ruoyu, but now it was empty, and did not speak. It wasn't until Wuji raised her voice and asked for the second time that she woke up like a dream, and said in a panic: "I don't know, maybe, this is the fate of the empire." ”

Mowgli looked around and was skeptical of the queen's answer. This hall is the smallest hall in the Heavenly Book Tower, but it is not so much that it can only hold eighteen gods. But if the empire is destined to have only eighteen great masters, it may not be too amazing.

Although he felt suspicious, he didn't think much about it, and walked straight to the throne of the first great master Zhang Liang, and looked at Zhang Liang's statue.

Zhang Liang, as the first great power teacher, once single-handedly destroyed the empire and saved the empire, and was known as a god-like figure, but he did not look majestic. He is weak in appearance and does not even have a beard, so it is easy to be mistaken for a woman.

However, there are indeed women in the great divisions, the fourth great division Ban Zhao and the ninth great teacher Wu Cao are women, and they have been in office for a long time, Ban Zhao is 130 years old and reigns for 91 years, and Wu Cao is 164 years old and reigns for 112 years.

Wuji took out Zhang Liang's biography, flipped through it carefully, and quickly found the content with Baiyan Dan.

The Hundred Variation Pill appeared with the Book of Heaven, and it is said that it was passed on to Zhang Liang by an old man named Huang Shigong. It was after Zhang Liang took the Hundred Variety Pill that he inspired the Colorful Phoenix Life, became a great teacher of a generation, saved the empire, and single-handedly founded the Heavenly Academy.

"That's not right. Mowgli shook his head again and again. "Your Royal Highness, could this record be wrong?"

"What's the problem?" the queen walked over and stood side by side with Wuji.

"The Book of Heaven fills the entire Heavenly Book Tower, and even if it is written into words, it is not something that one or two books can contain. Huangshi Gongchuan Tianshu and Zhang Liang, did they come with dozens of carts?"

The queen was also stunned, looked at Wuji, and then looked at Zhang Liang's biography. She has read this biography countless times, but she has never thought about it.

That's right, there are so many scrolls in the sky, how did Huang Shigong pass it to Zhang Liang, with dozens of carts behind him? This may not be too funny.

Seeing that the queen didn't have any constructive opinions, Wuji simply didn't count on him, and looked at the biographies of all the great masters one by one.

He reads the book very quickly, and as soon as the book is opened, the pages are turned and then quickly closed. There is more time spent picking up books than reading them. When the queen saw it, she took the initiative to take the book off the shelf, spread it out for Wuji to read, and put the book that Wuji had finished reading back on the shelf.

Although she is a queen and wears the priestly clothes of a great master, at this moment, she looks no different from Jing Xiaoyang, just a maid waiting for Mowgli to study.

Wuji was immersed in the book, but he didn't pay attention to this. The queen realized it later, and she was a little embarrassed, but when she saw Wuji's concentration on reading, she didn't remind her. While sorting out the book, I paid attention to Mowgli.

In the blink of an eye, the night passed. Wuji read all the biographies and writings of the sixteen great masters, but still failed to find clues to the failure of the Hundred Variation Pill.

But he noticed a problem: in the thousand-year history of the empire, almost all the great masters who reigned for a long time and had a high realm were concentrated in the first five hundred years of the empire. In the past five hundred years, there have only been seven great masters, with an average reign of seventy years, and they are all over 100 years old, and without exception, they have all completed the ninth order of the Xuan Realm Great Perfection before the age of thirty.

In the next five hundred years, there was only one such great great teacher, that is, the ninth great master Wu Cao. After her, all the great masters did not live to be 100 years old, and the time to complete Dzogchen became more and more lagging behind, and the vast majority of people never achieved Dzogchen in their lifetime.

In the past 300 years, there have been seven great great teachers, and none of them have achieved the Great Perfection.

At the same time, Wuji also noticed a problem: among the seventeen great power teachers, five of them did not have the surname Ying, and in addition to Wu Meng, four appeared in the first five hundred years. After Wu Cao, every great master came from the royal family. Almost all of the great teachers who failed to achieve the Great Perfection were surnamed Ying, including the seven great teachers in the last 300 years.

Among them, the weakest realm is not the previous great master Ying Ruoyu, but his predecessor, the sixteenth great master Ying Yongshou, he reigned for thirteen years and died at the age of seventy-one, and his lifelong realm was only the third order of the Xuan Realm.

Could it be that the Heavenly Academy is getting weaker and weaker, and the empire is in crisis. Mowgli sneered secretly. This is all the fault of the monopoly of power. When the imperial power invaded the Heavenly Academy and monopolized the selection of the Great Master of the Heavenly Academy, how could the Heavenly Academy not weaken.

After listening to Wuji's analysis, the queen was not surprised at all, and there was not even a trace of emotional fluctuations.

"That's why the Great Master has high hopes for you. The queen said, "I am willing to gamble and give you a chance, and also give the empire a chance." ”-
