This is an extremely sad day, there was a magnitude 7 earthquake in Ya'an, China, first of all, let us pray for the blessings of all living in Ya'an!

"Hahaha!"

Xu Dong laughed, "Can I steal the treasure? You can't even find your so-called treasure, I, Liu Baoyu, can take your treasure...... Treasure Thief ...... It's hilarious!"

Qian Xiaoyuan saw that he was talking in knots, and expected that this Liu Baoyu was also a bright head, and he didn't see much ability, so he put the sword into the sheath with "poof!".

After dinner, Qian Xiaoyuan brought Xu Dong soup for a bath, and after that, she arranged a place for him to stay.

"Although my inner room is large, you and I are different from men and women, so I have to wronged you to live in my study,"

Qian Xiaoyuan smiled again and said, "Smelling the fragrance of books and sleeping will help you improve your intelligence, maybe a genius who has experienced the world will be born from my humble study!"

She held a tall green lantern in her hand and led Xu Dong into the study.

Xu Dong took a look, this study room was large, but it was very empty, and he didn't see the sandalwood bookshelves he imagined, let alone the shelves full of ancient books.

In the middle is a large case, on which are placed the four treasures of the study, and there is a bookstand about two feet long and five feet wide, and a bamboo is neatly placed in the corner of the table.

Fortunately, when he was a Confucian scholar in his previous life, he studied history and knew that before Cai Lun invented papermaking, the ancients engraved words on tortoise shells and bamboo slips, otherwise he would not know the goods and recognize this pile of bamboo slips as firewood.

He said in his heart that this Lechuan man had really read the sage books since ancient times.

Qian Xiaoyuan spread two mattresses on the desk and gave him a thick pillow.

"You rest early tonight, and you'll have to practice early tomorrow morning!"

After Qian Xiaoyuan went out, Xu Dong was very excited, and he didn't feel sleepy at all, after all, he was the first time he came to the Giant Valley, and a curiosity dragged him, and he looked through the pile of bamboo slips.

He untied the first bundle of bamboo slips, unfolded the pieces of bamboo slips on the table, and then lit up the green lantern, revealing the handwriting on the bamboo slips.

"The legend says: The river is out of the map, Luo is out of the book, and the sage is the same, and it is said: Heaven and earth are two, heaven and earth are three, earth is four, heaven is five, earth is six, heaven is seven, earth is eight, heaven is nine and earth is ten. ”

"The number of days is five, the number of the earth is five, and the five are in harmony with each other. The number of days is twenty and there are five, and the number of the earth is thirty, and the number of heaven and earth is fifty and five. ”

"The number of this river map is also, Luo Shugai takes the turtle elephant, so its number, wear nine shoes one, left three right seven, two four for the shoulder, six or eight for the foot.

The rest of the bamboo slips are books such as "The Art of War", "I Ching", "Guiguzi", and "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing".

These bamboo slips are clean on the outside, but the words engraved on the inside are dirty, as if they have not been turned over for a long time.

He thought that Qian Xiaoyuan didn't read these simple books, but only cleaned them regularly, so she couldn't be the owner of these books, but only its custodian.

So where did these brief books come from? Why are they in Qian Xiaoyuan's study? He can only get the answer by asking Qian Xiaoyuan herself.

A wave of fatigue hit him, and he didn't take off his clothes, but lay down on the desk, pulled the mattress and covered it haphazardly, and soon fell asleep.

In order to break into the Sichuan Lord's Mansion to find the Xuantie Piece, in the next few days, Xu Dong practiced the Overlord Gong diligently, in preparation for the next round of rank tests.

Lechuan's large attrition during the war, coupled with the low fertility rate due to the effect of the magnetic field, caused the population in Sichuan to be relatively thin, so it accepted immigrants without restrictions.

According to the relevant regulations of Lechuan, whether it is a native or an immigrant, the value of a person is determined by the rank of the person who practices the martial arts, and only those with a high rank may be valued.

Xu Dong wants to get close to the core institution of Lechuan, in addition to passing the political examination, he also has to practice to the eighth stage or above, which is obviously not too easy.

In between the exercises, Xu Dong and Qian Xiaoyuan talked, "You haven't told me yet, what kind of official system is Lechuan?"

After getting along for two days together, and seeing Xu Dong practicing so hard, Qian Xiaoyuan no longer suspected that he was a spy.

"Lechuan is a theocratic system, the head of Sichuan is the head of the current Nanming Sect, his real name is not known, only his religious name is Xizhu, and most people call him Xizhu Imam. ”

"The autonomous army in Sichuan is called the Giant Corps, and the Imam of Xizhu is the head of the Corps, and there are three commanders under the head of the Corps. ”

"The chief manager's name is Xu Ming, who is the head of the Northern Sect, and the second person in Sichuan who is only lower than Xizhu, by the way, his ancestor is Xu Jin, who founded the monkey-shaped Alien Skill. ”

"The second general manager is called Sun Song, who is the second eldest of the Southern Ming Sect and is in charge of the daily teaching affairs of the Southern Ming Sect, and the third general manager is the second eldest of the Northern Ming Sect, named Hong Qingyun. ”

"Speaking of the title of 'Holy Aunt', it is a rank lower than that of the three governors, assisting the three governors in handling affairs. ”

"There are a total of three holy aunts, two of the three holy aunts in the Southern Ming Sect: the great holy aunt Zhou Yun and the second holy aunt me, and one from the Northern Shejiao sect: the third holy aunt Wu Xiaomei. ”

"These three holy aunts are the ones with the highest number of skills among the women in Sichuan, and people privately call us the 'Three Demons'. ’”

This is another day to test the skills of the people of Sichuan, and there are tests like this twice a month.

Xu Dong followed Qian Xiaoyuan to the test station, which was set up in a hall on the outskirts of the Sichuan Lord's Mansion.

Seeing the Sichuan Lord's Mansion for the first time, Xu Dong was very surprised, and when he looked at it, this Sichuan Lord's Mansion seemed to be not much smaller than the Chunyang Palace, with red walls and golden roofs, and Zhumen and blue columns, and its momentum was no worse than the Chunyang Palace.

Looking at it again, the sergeants guarding the Sichuan Lord's Mansion are tall and mighty, and the number of people is also arranged, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, which is even more heavily guarded than the Luotuo Palace.

One of the sergeants glared at him and yelled, "What are you looking at? Why don't you get in line?"

He hurriedly gathered in the crowd that came to the test, and there was a female officer with a black face who was maintaining order, "All lined up, all lined up, don't stand crooked!"

The test began immediately, and a tall, thin female officer brought a man inside.

Qian Xiaoyuan whispered to him that the female official with a black face was the Great Sage Gu Zhou Yun, and the female official who came out to call was the Third Sage Gu Wu Xiaomei, saying that she was busy entering the main hall to be a monitoring officer.

Finally, it was Xu Dong's turn to test, and he was led by the three holy aunts and little sisters, and walked through the long corridor into the main hall.

The tester was an old-fashioned copper compass, and the corners of Xu Dong's mouth inadvertently showed a smile, and he didn't say a word, pressing his hand on the compass.

The hands on the compass turned, one, two, three, four...... Eight, nine, the hands stop between the ninth and tenth scales.

Qian Xiaoyuan was stunned, staring at the compass for a while, then staring at him for a while, and stammering, "You ......"

Obviously, even Qian Xiaoyuan couldn't believe that Xu Dong could reach the skill of nine and a half stages after only two days of practice.

When the chief examiner read the information and learned that this person named Liu Baoyu had only practiced the Overlord Gong for two days, he pointed at him with his finger, "What kind of demon method have you learned, and you can get the compass ...... Broken?"

Xu Dong said, "You mean I broke the roulette?"

"You must have broken the roulette, otherwise with your skills that you have practiced for two days, how can you measure the fifth level of the ninth stage?"

When the chief examiner said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense, and the four guards who were guarding the four corners of the hall wearing protective soft armor and long knives across their waists held the hilts of their hands.
