Lin Dujiao looked up at the ridiculously high top of the tower, his face full of reverence and pride, "This is the Patriarch Tower, and you are in the tower." Thirty-seven generations of patriarchs, more than 136,700 years of time, the names of all the Taoist priests above the Nine Great Dao Sect who are above the Divine Dao Fruit are recorded here. ”
Those remaining disciples already knew the Patriarch Pagoda very well and scattered everywhere to think about the Patriarch, and this year's new disciples gathered around the Dujiao and listened to him introduce the treasures of Pangshan Daotong Zhenshan.
"The Patriarch Pagoda is the only magic weapon that can determine the inheritance of the Nine Great Dao Systems, and everyone will come here to worship the Patriarch and determine the inheritance before formally learning the Dao Law, regardless of the north and south. ”
"Everyone?" asked Shen Hao in the crowd.
"Everyone, starting next month, you will have the opportunity to meet other Dao disciples. ”
"The entire Cultivation God Peak is the Ancestor Tower, right?" asked Mu Feihuang, who was stunned.
"That's right, the Cultivation God Peak is hollow, and it houses the Ancestor Tower. ”
"But I heard that the courtyard of Lao Zufeng is the place where the tower is erected. Xin Youtao interjected.
"It is the body of the Patriarch Pagoda that is stored in the courtyard, guarded by the Grandmaster and the Seat himself, and it is very small, no more than nine inches high, here is the only doppelganger of the Patriarch Tower, except that it is ten million times larger, there is no difference. ”
The new disciples exclaimed again, unable to believe that a small nine-inch tower could transform into such a large clone.
"Empty your mind later, just like you usually practice thinking, don't control your feet, it will lead you to find your own inheritance. ”
The new disciples immediately dispersed, sat down in pieces according to the room number, and condensed their fortunes, leaving only Xiao Qiu alone - he had not yet learned the method of "contemplating".
Lin Dujiao stepped forward and said, "Follow me." ”
As soon as he took a few steps, Xiaoqiu saw Shen Ji get up from the ground, moving in one direction as if sleepwalking, and only stopped when he almost touched the tower wall, then looked up and stared ahead.
Xiao Qiu followed Shen Ji's gaze, and there was nothing on the wall of the tower.
"The Patriarch Tower is not what you imagined. Lin Dujiao came to a stop.
"Well, it's big, and it's flat, there's no looping climbing steps, and you can't see how many floors there are. "There is an old tower in Yelin Town that has been abandoned for many years, and Xiaoqiu often goes to play with it and knows what the inside of the tower looks like.
"The Patriarch Tower has two floors, this is the inner floor, and the stairs and everything are on the outer floor. Lin Dujiao raised his head and squinted slightly at the tower wall, again, Xiao Qiu saw nothing.
"This area is the ancestral inheritance of the Forbidden Secret Sect, I can see the sixteenth generation of the ancestor, and it will not work any further, the master said that I may make progress in another fifty years. ”
"Master, you mean Zuo Liuying?"
Lin Dujiao laughed twice, and did not reprimand the disciple for calling the master's name, "Have you ever thought about which subject you want to enter in the future?"
"Five Elements Branch, I want to learn to slay demons and eliminate demons!" Xiao Qiu replied immediately.
"Then we should go this way. ”
While the two were talking, the new disciples had already gone to their own inheritance area, and there were more of the Five Elements Sect, either sitting or standing, all looking up obsessively.
"What do you see?" Lin Sa asked.
Xiaoqiu calmed down and watched intently, there was still nothing on the wall, no words, no patterns, and he couldn't even tell whether the material of the wall was gold or stone, "I...... Can not see. ”
"Hehe, it may be because the Five Elements Sect is not suitable for you, or it may be because you haven't learned the right way to save thoughts. ”
"When I crossed the Liubao Jian just now, it didn't make an appraisal of me, is it also because I didn't learn to store thoughts?" This question had been lingering in Xiao Qiu's heart for a while, and finally brought it up.
"Well, it should be like this, you have thought about it for a month, and as soon as you came to Yangshen Peak, you caught up with Sizu Day, I have never encountered this kind of thing. Lin Dujiao replied casually, as if he didn't think it was a serious problem, "Come, let's move on, although thinking is the most important way to communicate with the ancestor, but there are exceptions, you go everywhere and calm down and give it a try." ”
Lin Dujiao took Xiaoqiu around the tower, and briefly introduced one or two sentences in every area, "Discipline Department, the most prosperous subject, you can see the most disciples guarding here - be careful, don't touch people; Pill Medicine Department, if you can make friends with these future alchemists, it will be of great help to your future cultivation; Honglu Department, more than half of the materials for making zuò magic tools come from the hands of disciples of this department; Mirror Department, everyone wants to have a divine mirror that looks at the four directions, but unfortunately there are very few disciples who are willing to enter this department......"
Lin Dujiao introduced a circle, and finally returned to the area of the Forbidden Secret Section, where there were three more disciples, two sitting, one standing, looking at the top of the wall stupidly, and Xiao Qiu had not seen any Wentu so far.
"Fangfang?" Xiaoqiu whispered in surprise.
Fang Fang was standing there trying to tilt her head, and she didn't hear anyone call her.
"Well, she has found her inheritance, and she is thinking about her ancestor, and she can't hear you. Alas, the Forbidden Secret Section has been confiscating newcomers for several years. ”
"I don't want her to go to the Forbidden Secret Division. Xiaoqiu blurted out that it was too late to take it back.
"Why?" asked Lin Dujiao with a smile.
Xiao Qiu didn't know how to answer, so Lin Dujiao said for him: "Because people in the Forbidden Secret Department are easy to fall into demons, more than half of the disciples will eventually go crazy. ”
"That's what I've heard. Xiaoqiu said in a low voice, this is what Zhang Lingsheng told them when he first entered the hall.
Lin Dujiao patted Xiaoqiu's shoulder, "You should think so, aren't there still half of the people who aren't crazy?" He laughed a few times and continued: "Inheritance is not the only one, nor is it necessary, if you don't want to, you can completely ignore the reminder of the Patriarch Tower and choose the subject you like." ”
Xiaoqiu nodded, and decided to find a chance to have a good talk with Fang Fang, whether she will become crazy in the future is secondary, she is also from Yelin Town, and entering the forbidden secret department where Zuo Liuying is seated is tantamount to throwing herself into a net.
"There's an area you don't seem to have introduced. Xiao Qiu pointed to a place he had just passed, next to the Forbidden Secret Department, and then the Lamp and Candle Department.
Lin Dujiao was silent for a while, as if he was reluctant to answer this question, and finally spoke, without a smile on his face, "It is an unknown subject, it has been interrupted for many years, and there is no disciple of this subject in today's world. ”
Lin Dujiao smiled on his face, "Go around by yourself, don't think too much, even if you can't find the inheritance, it doesn't matter, this kind of thing happens from time to time." ”
The Metropolitan Sect raised its head, immersed in the inheritance of the Forbidden Secret Sect.
Xiaoqiu walked around her sturdy body and walked to Fangfang's side, her expression had both the seriousness of reading books and a certain indescribable intoxication, as if she saw profound and beautiful words, and was reluctant to look away, even for a moment.
Xiaoqiu didn't bother her, she walked around the circular tower alone, the precept department was really the most prosperous, Daliang Shen Xiuming and several other Yelin Town teenagers sat on the ground and looked up, there were many people in the area of the Five Elements Department, Shen Hao was standing here, and the seriousness and persistence on his face was something he had never had in Mr. Qin's school.
Xiao Qiu stayed for a while, he wanted to become a Five Elements Mage, but the Five Elements Division didn't take a fancy to him, and the ancestors of all generations refused to show him.
He had no choice but to move on, stopping in each area for a while, listening to the introduction of Dujiao before, and he could get rid of his thoughts and try to "think" again.
With each additional area, Xiaoqiu's disappointment increased, and he stayed for a while in the chanting department that he was least interested in, but he still couldn't see any unusual scenes.
Lin Dujiao said that there were times when he couldn't find the inheritance, but among the hundreds of people in the tower, only Xiaoqiu was still strolling around, and the others were all parked in the area of a certain department, staring at the wall without blinking.
Xiaoqiu went around the second circle and returned to the area of the forbidden secret department, Fang Fang and the other three disciples were still looking up, but Lin Dujiao was gone.
Xiao Qiu was extremely frustrated, and simply walked to the area of the nameless subject, muttering to himself: "No matter what the specific cultivation of this subject is, it is time to accept a disciple after being interrupted for so many years." Patriarch, my name is Mu Xingqiu, and I want to go to the Five Elements Department the most, but the patriarch over there doesn't seem to like me very much......"
He closed his eyes, meditated for a moment, and opened his eyes to see that there was still nothing on the wall, although he guessed that the result would be like this, Xiaoqiu still sighed.
"What's wrong?" Fang Fang asked beside him, she had just finished thinking about it, and saw Xiaoqiu standing nearby, so she walked over.
"I can't see anything. ”
"Don't worry, it may be because you haven't learned the art of thinking yet. ”
"Lin Dujiao also said the same, is it difficult to think about it?"
"It's not hard at all, you empty your mind and then focus on something. ”
"What do you think?"
"Anything, it's just a means to wait until you can concentrate your thoughts, and then turn to the ancestors. ”
"What does the patriarch of the Forbidden Mystic Section look like?"
"There are everything, men, women and children, there are their figures and names, and there are some small prints, probably records of deeds, and I can't see it clearly. I also saw Zuo Liuying. ”
"Him?"
"Well, on the wall, he is not an ancestor, but because of his profound Taoism, he can leave his name under the thirty-seventh generation of patriarchs, and he looks really young. ”
"He's hundreds of years old, and he's very sinister. ”
Fang Fang pursed her lips and laughed, "You should practice thinking about it, some people can learn it right away." ”
Xiao Qiu closed his eyes and emptied his thoughts that he could do lightly, and then it was a bit difficult to concentrate on one thing, there were many things worth thinking about, but it was not necessary to think about them.
"Don't be deliberate, think about the first thing that comes to your mind. Fangfang's voice came, and Xiaoqiu's mind immediately appeared Fangfang covering her mouth and smiling.
The ancestor had not arrived for a long time, Fangfang's appearance was becoming more and more distorted, Xiaoqiu could no longer concentrate her thoughts, and opened her eyes suddenly, "It's really a little ......"
He opened his mouth wide in surprise and swallowed the word "difficult" back, and there were glittering pictures and texts on the wall in front of him.
Xiao Qiu turned around in a circle, slowly raised his head, no matter how high the wall was, as long as he looked at it, the picture and text of that piece became extremely clear, as if in front of him.
Xiao Qiu looked higher and higher, and even saw the twelve patriarchs of the third generation, and his gaze could not reach it if he went up.
Xiao Qiu was just about to tell Fang Fang about the strange sight she had seen, when the light that filled the walls gradually dissipated, leaving only one line, a lonely, intermittent line, from beginning to end, no more than twenty-nine people in all.
What surprised Xiaoqiu the most was that starting from a certain ancestor of the third generation, these twenty-nine people were all women, all of them were very young, but they all had a smile on their faces, as if they were extremely unhappy in life, and they were still depressed after death, and the words near the graphics were blurred.
"Surely mistaken, Fangfang, this should be your inheritance. Xiaoqiu took a step back and hit a bouncy belly.
Lin Dujiao didn't know when he came back, and he was looking down at Xiao Qiu, his expression was unprecedentedly strict, "The Ancestor Tower can't be mistaken, but you must not choose this subject." ”
