Chapter 4: The Library Pavilion
"Today's Dawu Dynasty was founded by Wu Gaozu Yuan Taishan, inherited to the sixteenth generation, has been 1,100 years, when Gaozu founded the country, the mainland princes were powerful, in order to reduce the sword and soldier trouble, the princes promised the princes the princes, the princes saw that the martial country was powerful, and they did not want to fight the front, so they bowed their heads and called the ministers, and the world finally had to be unified......"
In the bright school, the gentleman in a gray shirt told the history of the founding of Dawu in a low voice, and hundreds of students also listened carefully, and the students who could enter Nanming College were born even if they were not geniuses, and they came to listen to the lectures voluntarily, so naturally there was no reason to desert in class.
A thousand years ago was a troubled era, the heroes were divided, the war was raging, the war did not know how many starvations but also made a hero come into being, it was an era of bright stars, but also an era of strong people, but the iron army that could push the city swept across the continent, hundreds of Tianxing powerhouses beyond the mundane fought to the landslide, and even the legendary Void Realm powerhouse was said to have appeared...... Mr. Wen, who lectures on history, is not only knowledgeable, but also has a romantic style in his lectures, vividly and without tampering with the history itself, telling the story of the next group of teenagers who are sometimes excited, fantasizing that they are incarnated as the strong men of the past to dominate the world, and sometimes they are full of righteous indignation, and they want to do the right thing for the heavens, killing all the traitors and demons who were rampant during that year, and the bold even dreamed of being emperors.
"This is the process of the founding of Dawu, if you still have any doubts, you can also ask me, anyway, my study is full of people on weekdays, and I need to make up for some popularity!" After a class, Mr. Wen touched the goat's beard: "At this point, the ancient history of our Qinghe Continent has also been told, and I will talk about the Falling God Continent in the next class, I don't know if you are interested?"
"Mr. Wen, I heard that the ancient sword god of the Falling God Continent is the strongest in the world through the ages, but is it true?" a student immediately got up and asked excitedly, and this question obviously aroused the interest of most students, their goal is to become the strongest, the strongest in ancient and modern times? That is the pinnacle of their dreams!
"There have been many strong men in all dynasties, and those who stand at the top of the world have unpredictable abilities, but they have never really fought each other, who can determine which one is the strongest?" Mr. Wen sighed leisurely: "But even if that sword god is not the strongest, he must be among the strongest, and he will shock the world with his own strength, making the Falling God Continent take his name, but this influence is incomparable to other peerless powerhouses in history." ”
"Because of this, there are many legends involving that sword god, such as the reason why the sword god is so powerful actually involves another mysterious space...... I've been researching for many years trying to separate the false from the true, and it's a little small, and since you're so curious, I'll talk about it in the next class. Mr. Wen laughed.
After answering a few more questions, Mr. Wen walked out of the school, but many students did not come back from their excitement, and they were very excited to discuss the history and legend of the founding of the former Emperor Wu and even the peerless sword god.
"This Mr. Wen is eloquent!" Ling Qingyun's side, a slightly thin young man sighed.
Although there are hundreds of students in this history class, Nanming Academy enrolls thousands of students every year, from the lower grades to the higher grades, there are nine sessions, and there are 10,000 repeaters.
"Indeed, being led by Mr. Wen's eloquence, it is really like going back to the past and being with the predecessors. Ling Qingyun thought so, before coming to Nanming Academy, he had also attended the school in the city, and he was also very knowledgeable, not erudite, but he also knew the reading and literacy and even the rough geographical history, but listening to this Mr. Wen said it was completely different from what the school teacher had said, so that he really traveled through time and space, it can be seen how clever Mr. Wen is, and he can easily move people's heartstrings with just his tongue.
"I really envy those famous generals, sweeping across the northern border, pointing at Chifeng, tsk! It's a pity that my ability to talk on paper is too far behind my predecessors. The boy sighed.
"You have not been good at practicing since you were a child, but you are good at the art of war, and when you reach the realm of forgetting to sleep and eat, you will always succeed in studying so far. Ling Qingyun patted him on the shoulder: "When the time comes, when I, Ling Yue City, need your advice, don't shirk!"
"That's nature, what kind of friendship do you and I have! What's more, without your help, I, Liu Chong, wouldn't have been able to enter this Nanming Academy at all!" Liu Chong regained his vigor slightly, as if he had really become a famous general who strategized and won thousands of miles away.
"I'm helping you, is it just to force you to die?" Ling Qingyun said unhappily with a straight face.
"You are naturally not this kind of person, but if you don't repay your kindness, is this my style?" Liu Chong also looked solemn and said seriously.
Maintaining such a serious expression, the two teenagers looked at each other for a moment, but they both smiled and touched their fists tacitly: "What's the difference between us brothers? Whether we come to Nanming together or not, we will fight side by side in this life, life and death together!"
"Where are you going in the afternoon?" Ling Qingyun asked.
"Go to the Iron Guard Pavilion and discuss the art of war. Liu Chong clenched his fists: "I also know that Nanming Dabi has the art of war, although the weight is far less than the strength competition, if you can earn a point, it is also to win glory and profit for the class." ”
"Then you have to work harder, although there are not many people who practice the art of war, but it is three times the same, and only the top three can score. Ling Qingyun said solemnly.
"Don't worry, I'm a game, even if I can't win the top three, it's understandable, but the burden on your shoulders is too heavy, but you have to practice swords when you go back?"
A month later, the Nanming University Competition is an annual event of Nanming College, from the lower years to the higher years, the best students compete at many levels, not only to motivate students to improve, but also related to the glory of all classes, and Ling Qingyun is the candidate to represent Class B in the Nanming Competition.
Although the contest of Nanming Dabi is not only personal strength, but also includes many aspects such as literary talent, art of war, alchemy, equestrian, music and rhythm, etc., the contest of personal strength on the Qinghe Continent, where cultivators are respected, is undoubtedly the most important and most attention-grabbing, and if you can perform prominently in it, you will undoubtedly be able to stand out in this talented Nanming Academy, and at the same time, you will also win the glory of the winner on behalf of your class.
For a competitive teenager, the sense of accomplishment of winning the crown at such a grand event is extremely strong, but on the contrary, once defeated, setbacks can also be overwhelming.
"No, I'll go to the Library. Ling Qingyun shook his head.
"Still going to read books?" Liu Chong's eyes showed a bit of confusion, as a playmate since childhood, of course he knew that Ling Qingyun's two hobbies were sword practice and reading, after reading all his own collections, he also read their books when he visited various large households, because of his superb swordsmanship and strength among his peers, no one could treat him as a nerd.
As one of the strongest colleges in the mainland, Nanming College has an incomparably rich collection of books, but in less than a month from Nanming University, do you still have the leisure to read books? Even if you are familiar with your friends, Liu Chong is still slightly puzzled.
"You're confident?"
"How can a cultivator not be confident? It's just that Nanming Academy gathers thousands of heavenly pride in hundreds of states, but it is not very sure to say that it is not very sure. Ling Qingyun shook his head: "That's why I went to the Library Pavilion." ”
"There is a golden house in the book, Yan Ruyu in the book, and a million soldiers in the book, but I don't think it will work in a month. "Naturally, all kinds of exercises and martial arts that are carriers for books can indeed improve their strength, but how can they sharpen their knives in battle?
"I naturally understand the importance of this Dabi. Ling Qingyun's words made Liu Chong sigh, and before he knew it, the two of them had reached a fork in the road, and their goals were different, so they parted here, and Ling Qingyun went straight to the library pavilion.
The library of Nanming College is called the Book Pavilion, but it is like a solemn palace, its size has thousands of square meters, five floors high, it is the largest library building in these states, the first to the third floor can be read at will, and the fourth and fifth floors are much smaller than the first three floors, and the collection of books is much more precious, it belongs to the field of senior students, teachers, and even a few people.
Ling Qingyun entered the library pavilion and went straight to the third floor, and walked around the astronomy and geography, literature and poetry and other areas with ease, came to the exercises, picked out a yellowed ancient book and stood under the bookshelf to study it, although the bookkeeper on the side was not surprised when he saw this, but he also muttered to himself: "This Ling Qingyun is so fond of studying exercises, and after reading all the high-level exercises, he began to ponder the middle-level exercises? How old is he, does he still want to learn from the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought and create his own exercises?"
Although the book manager was puzzled, he did not interfere with Ling Qingyun's actions in the slightest, all the books on the third layer of the students can read freely, as long as they are not destroyed, and they can be taken away and copied without permission, as for whether the teenager will go crazy because of this? That is also what the teacher needs to pay attention to, any student who can come here is a dragon and phoenix among people, and should also have the responsibility to control himself!
The bookkeeper's doubts would not have the slightest impact on Ling Qingyun's reading, at this time he was studying a book called "Wolf Tooth Jue" Jinxing middle-level martial arts exercises, its characteristics are fierce and ferocious, killing one thousand enemies and self-inflicting eight hundred, although the attack power is still better than the ordinary high-level exercises, but it will damage one's own body in long-term battles, and often only the dead soldiers will practice this kind of exercise.
"Although this exercise is at the intermediate level, there is still a wild wolf mantra in addition to the way it operates, and the creator is quite ferocious, and he also wants to raise some unfathomable masters!" Ling Qingyun sighed silently while reading, as if he had seen a crazy posture waving his claws on the battlefield, even if he was covered in bruises, he was still fighting bloodily, the so-called exercises were actually nothing more than the operation of the human body's strength, but it also implied the creator's ideological will, for example, this wolf tooth recipe was fierce and ruthless, and the author was also a master who did not want to die, and later people in the cultivation process would also be affected by the true qi flow caused by this exercise, and the meridians would be damaged and gradually become manic, so they would be affected by the exercises.
Ling Qingyun's cultivation method is the Ling family's ancestral top-level exercise "Haoran Wind and Thunder Formula", which is far more powerful than the wolf's tooth technique, and it is more helpful for cultivators to absorb the Haoran Qi between heaven and earth, far more than manic and ferocious to help cultivation, but Ling Qingyun is still very serious about the operation of the wolf's tooth recipe and the essence of its connotation silently, and it naturally constitutes a picture of the human body in front of him, its meridians, blood vessels, bone marrow, Dantian, every place that can contain power is flickering, and with the operation of the red gold power to form a certain mysterious pattern, like a claw hook, and like a wolf's teeth, trance-like can see the bloody hideous appearance, the ferocity of the wolf's tooth recipe is completely demonstrated here.
Looking at the red gold wolf fang, Ling Qingyun's eyes flashed slightly, but another human figure gradually converged in front of him, compared to the wolf tooth cultivator, this person's whole body was flowing with countless extremely powerful golden light, countless sharp golden lights seemed to converge into a golden sword, the sword pointed at the sky, and the edge was unparalleled!
If the bearer of the red golden wolf's tooth is a bloodthirsty and fearless dead soldier, then the bearer of the golden sword is a proud swordsman who fights the sword world, with stronger strength and bearing than the dead soldier, but the paths between them are completely different, not to mention-for-tat, but it is also difficult to coexist.
But an astonishing scene appeared, accompanied by two pictures of the human body completely presented, these two very different cultivation practice analysis drawings are constantly closing the distance, and finally contact, and fused together, the fierce wolf teeth and the Haoran golden sword are hostile to each other, naturally do not hesitate to start a fight, together with the human body power under each other's command is also a fierce battle, for a time turned over the river and the sea, the sky is dark, and the human body meridians that have become the battlefield of the two major conflict forces are distorted, the viscera is displaced, the body is bruised, and the face is also blurred and changed again and again, but the battle is finally over, the human body figure is gradually healed, and its appearance is the previous swordsman, but there is a little more fierce and evil between the eyebrows。
Ling Qingyun put the wolf tooth recipe back on the bookshelf and exhaled lightly, the bloodshot in his eyes gradually receded, and then, he lowered his head.
At some point, a book appeared in his palm, a wordless book.
