Chapter 456: Bookstore
Di Renjie walked on this street, this kind of more purposeful investigation, he didn't dare to ask others at will, in his opinion, this is a risky behavior, in addition, if you ask others, I'm afraid that all you know is some very basic information, so there is no need for this.
After a while, he saw an old bookstore, with very few people coming in and out, and he had always been interested in these bookstores, and every time he went to a place, he would select a large number of books and read them to understand the world.
It's just that he already knows the general things now, so there's no need to buy as aggressively as he did at the beginning, but if he comes across some books he likes, he will still buy them.
"Go in and take a look. ”
Di Renjie stepped into this bookstore, this bookstore is not big, and there are not a few people in it, but the collection of books is extremely rich, there is an old scholar reading books on the side of the bookstore, Di Renjie found that this old man has no cultivation, generally speaking, this Wang Xia School is not a cultivator can not come in, why can this person come in?
There were doubts, but Di Renjie would definitely not take the liberty to ask, and maybe this person was a little different, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, but walked around in this bookstore.
What surprised him was that none of the books here were ordinary books, they were all books that were only useful to cultivators, and most of them were related to the exercises of cultivation, or some analysis, such as the analysis of fire exercises, and so on.
However, Di Renjie has no interest in these things, and he has also seen the analysis and evolution of some formation methods, etc., and he flipped through them casually, there is nothing surprising, they are all some experiences written by some formation families, which are of no use to Di Renjie now.
He has an extraordinary talent in the way of formation, according to the eagle demon who taught him the way of formation, Di Renjie's talent in the way of formation is rare in the world, and the eagle demon spent decades of hard work on research, which was surpassed by Di Renjie's few years of study, which only a genius can do, and it will not even be an ordinary genius.
Because of this, Di Renjie didn't need to spend too much time studying the way of the formation after he came out.
And the records made by the formation families in these books, he has long experienced them, and even casually flipped through them for a while, and found many mistakes and omissions, misleading people's children.
However, for ordinary formation cultivators, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages, and in addition, Di Renjie is not proud, maybe he made a mistake? These things that need to be verified, he doesn't have time for the time being.
At this time, a pile of books caught his attention, this pile of books was placed in a corner, which was rather messy, but Di Renjie noticed that the names of some of these books were some names related to various county towns, such as one was "Guangyuan Terroir", and there was also "Shannan Anecdotes", which seemed to be some rather boring books.
However, what Di Renjie wants to read now are these boring books, those books that record the deeds of this Shannan Kingdom.
He flipped through it, and then found a book called "The Record of the Holy Land Vajra", in fact, there are also "The Record of the General of the Holy Land", "The Record of the Marshal of the Holy Land", etc., which record the deeds and backgrounds of those marshals, King Kong, generals, and so on since the achievement of the four holy lands of Shannan Kingdom.
The Four Holy Lands have one saint, two protectors, three demon heavens, four generalissimos, eight King Kongs, and sixteen generals, and Di Renjie remembered that Nalan Huang, who had the Dust Realm, was the son of Xiong King Kong Nalan Yuan, one of the eight King Kongs of the Eastern Holy Land.
After seeing this King Kong Lu, Di Renjie even flipped through it with great interest, and the old scholar raised his head slightly, feeling strange, because the books there were some of the most ordinary books, but I didn't expect anyone to be so interested in reading them.
But this was a matter of being human, and the old pedant took one look at it and continued to read his book.
Di Renjie also had time at the moment, and he was not in a hurry to turn all the way to Nalan Yuan, so he started from the beginning.
"It turns out that this holy land King Kong has also changed a lot, these are relatively old, I wonder if it will be recorded in some of the current holy land King Kong?"
Di Renjie was puzzled, but after flipping through it for a while, he saw some records of the Holy Land King Kong today, it seems that this book is still updated according to current events, and yes, the guy who publishes this book will definitely make a lot of money, after all, everyone is interested in these powers.
Despite Di Renjie's knowledge that those people don't dare to scribble, even if everyone is popularizing science, and these powerful people also need these people to help promote their reputation, and they have mutual benefits.
"Nalan Yuan, here, good guy, I have actually lived for eight hundred years, I'm afraid this must be the innate realm, right?" Di Renjie didn't know how long each realm could live, he only knew that every time he broke through a realm, he would be able to greatly increase his lifespan, but if there was a problem in his cultivation, it would also shorten his lifespan, so everyone's lifespan was different, some people looked at the cultivation as strong, but maybe he used his own lifespan to improve, such a person, the lifespan will be very short.
However, generally speaking, there are still some references, for example, it is no problem to reach the Qi Qi Realm and generally live to be one hundred and fifty years old, and in the case of the Weichi Realm, it is generally two hundred years old, but some may also be three hundred years old, and if you sit in the Zhao Realm, you will generally start at the age of three hundred, but some will also live to be four hundred years old, and the Qingxi Realm is five hundred years old, and so on, generally breaking through a big realm, the life span will be added to one hundred or two hundred years old.
And those who can live for a thousand years are basically the strength of the innate realm, and this Nalan Yuan is already a person from eight hundred years ago.
"The Heavenly Dragon Dynasty collapsed more than five hundred years ago, so if you say that, this person may still be one of the people who destroyed the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty back then. ”
The Tianlong Dynasty, which had been maintained for thousands of years, disappeared more than five hundred years ago, and Di Renjie had known this for a long time, and the fall of the Tianlong Dynasty was closely related to Shannan Kingdom, and this person could be one of the eight King Kongs of the Eastern Holy Land today, presumably it would not be too bad back then.
"The eight King Kongs of the Eastern Holy Land have only changed three, one of them is Xiong King Kong, Xiong King Kong before Nalan Yuan is called Nalan Yu, the same surname is Nalan, it seems that it is related to Nalan Yuan, it is estimated that it is ......"
Di Renjie guessed while looking at it, but there is a detailed record later, this Nalan Miao is Nalan Yuan's father, but Xiong Jingang's position was inherited by his own son, of course, Di Renjie knew that this was not an inheritance, but a need to fight. Beautiful
There is no possibility of inheritance in these positions, and if one is retired, then the position will be fought over by many people below.
"Here it is said that Nalan Chao died more than 100 years ago, and Xiong Jingang's position was taken by Nalan Yuan more than 300 years ago. ”
That's what I said here, but Di Renjie also felt that this was quite reliable, otherwise, there was no need for Nalan Yu, as a father, to retreat early, and he could continue to occupy this position.
Of course, these Vajra positions will also be challenged by some people, but the challengers cannot only be forced, they must make corresponding contributions to the Shannan Kingdom, and only the trust of the Shannan royal family and the recognition of some strong people in the Holy Land can challenge these unique positions, which are more demanding, and there have always been relatively few such people.
When Nalan Yuan won this position, he didn't face many opponents, and in the end he won.
"It's been in this position for more than three hundred years, and now that his son is also in the dust realm, it is estimated that according to the style of this Nalan family, his son should continue to sit down, and Nalan Huang will take over the position of Xiong Jingang. ”
For one reason, Nalan Yuan is already more than 800 years old, and Di Renjie knows that there are some iron laws of cultivation in this world, such as when he is a thousand years old, even if he has a big breakthrough in the realm, he may not be able to survive, this is called 'Thousand Years of Time Drawbacks', even if he is extremely talented, he will experience life and death at the threshold of a thousand years old, and most of them will die, and only a few people will be able to survive and break through this 'Thousand Years of Time Drawbacks'.
Although I don't know why there is this 'millennium time drawback', this thing has become an iron law for cultivators, and many people want to explore it, but in fact, they can't find out why it came about, just like the sunrise and sunset, it is an eternal law, the law of heaven and earth.
Of course, after a long period of practice, there are also many practitioners who have discovered a way to break through this 'millennium time drawback', although the success rate is not high, but compared to before, there are still some people who have broken through this boundary through these methods and practiced farther away.
"This Nalan Yuan must have been thinking about his future affairs, and this position, it is understandable to want to leave it to his son, in addition, due to the inheritance of several generations, I am afraid that the Shannan royal family also trusts this family very much, and most of this position will be inherited by Nalan Huang. ”
Di Renjie learned that one of the basic conditions for becoming a holy land King Kong is that it is necessary to achieve the Great Perfection of the Hechen Realm, you know, stepping on another realm is a rare innate realm character in the world, and every time you get to the back, the more difficult it is to break through, like the Hechen Realm, breaking through one layer, as little as decades, more than hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years, that is normal.
Afterwards, Di Renjie continued to flip through the pages, wanting to see what records were made about this Nalan Huang.
However, there is very little pen and ink, and most of the records are about his father Nalan Yuan, after all, this book is called "Holy Land King Kong Record", which has little to do with Nalan Huang, however, Di Renjie also learned from it that this Nalan Huang is a person with extraordinary talent when he is a child, and he is said to be more talented than his father and grandfather, so now he is only in his early fifties, and he is already a strong man in the Dust Realm, this kind of talent, even if it is placed in the entire Three Kingdoms, it is definitely a top talent.
"This person has a master who is from an overseas immortal mountain, which is also a factor in his rise. "Di Renjie doesn't know much about overseas immortal mountains, he only knows that those are powerful existences, after all, people who want to cross the vast sea across the country will not be simple, there is the territory of the kraken, and only the strong can break through.
"Generally speaking, these characters in the overseas immortal mountains have the appearance of an innate realm in their cultivation, and it is normal for Nalan Huang to have such a character as a master, and it is normal to have the current cultivation. ”
Subsequently, Di Renjie continued to flip through the book, and after reading it, he read some other books about the big names in the Holy Land Organization, although such books could not be recorded in too much detail, but they also had a preliminary understanding.
There is no record of the 'one saint' in the Holy Land, and even the two protectors are only a passing mention, and the Three Demon Heavens have said it, but there is no specific description, and there is only a more detailed record of the four generalissimos.
Even so, compared to the information Di Renjie wanted to know, these were some very ordinary, and the people who recorded and published them obviously did not dare to describe these powers too clearly.
In the process of flipping through the book, Di Renjie found that the old scholar had looked at himself several times, in fact, it was unreasonable to read books like him, after all, he could read a book casually, so how could others do business?
However, this old pedant was not annoyed, he just glanced at Di Renjie a few more times, of course, Di Renjie felt guilty, so he bought more than a dozen books in this bookstore, spending a total of more than 30 taels of silver, which is not expensive.
Therefore, Di Renjie was particularly curious about why a bookstore like this could exist in the Wangxia Academy.
"Old gentleman, it stands to reason that the rent here must not be cheap, right? If you sell books, how much can you sell to pay the rent?" Di Renjie was interested.
The old pedant said, "I don't have to pay. ”
Di Renjie was surprised, but he felt that there might be something behind it that he couldn't understand, after all, it was a bit unusual for this old pedant to be able to open a shop in this place without any cultivation, and now the old pedant said that he didn't have to pay money, that was normal, as for the things behind it, Di Renjie didn't think to know more.
However, when approaching this old pedant, he noticed that this person's hands were full of calluses, which was not something that ordinary old pedants could have, because they were traces of cultivation, and it was not ordinary cultivation.
Di Renjie is not a person who has not seen hard practice, but the cocoons that are born are not as good as this old pedant, he guessed that this person must have been a master in the past, but he lost his cultivation for some reason, so he opened a shop here, and it is estimated that there is some relationship with this Wangxia Academy behind it.
Just like Xiong Yun, although his cultivation is gone, the Sanyin Divine Mansion is still helpful to him, after all, these Xuanmen institutions are not impersonal places, plus Xiong Yun still has its usefulness, and he can't do things like fighting and killing outside, so some things in the Divine Mansion can still be handled.
After leaving this bookstore, Di Renjie wandered around the street again, and something caught his attention.
