Chapter 20: Deacons of the Cabinet
The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is the place where Yuanguan puts books and jade slips, in which there are countless books and Janes since the establishment of Yuanguan, and it is also the place where countless disciples in Yuanguan learn spells, but although this is a place where people learn spells and other knowledge, there are usually very few people who come here, because those disciples usually leave after the spell is appended, and rarely stay here, and some people have never come here except for stepping in to change the exercises, and even more have never been here。 Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoFor them, the quest hall and those holy places of cultivation are the places they yearn for the most, and the spells and common sense here can be taken away as long as they are copied, and nothing will hinder them. Of course, the real lineages and those extremely important lineages in the Yuanguan are not placed here, which directly causes this place to be not too important for Pu Neng's disciples, and for important disciples, this is Ji Zhu, which is also an important reason why few people don't come here all day long.
Today, there is an extra belt gourd here, dressed in a dark cyan Taoist uniform-Wei Wen. Under the leadership of Xu Qi, Wei Wen completed the entire ceremony and oath to join Yuanmen, obtained Yuanguan's Taoist uniform and identity token, and then found a place to live not far from here, and then took him here to report before Xu Qi left. And Wei Wen is on his first day of work today. This was also the beginning of his first day in the meta-view. As for the residence, he didn't go in except for recognizing a door, but stayed here directly when he followed Xu Qi here.
"Uncle Wei, there are more than 13 million books here, including more than 10,000 books on exercises and spells, and 12.9 million books on miscellaneous records of other kinds of experience. There are nine floors in the entire scripture pavilion, the first layer is all kinds of miscellaneous books, the second layer is the experience of the predecessors, the third layer is all kinds of exercises, of which the third layer is the exercises of the Qi training period, the fourth layer is the exercises of the foundation building period, the fifth layer is the exercises of the Jindan period, the sixth layer is the exercises of the Yuan Infant Period, the seventh layer is the exercises of the Transformation Period, the eighth layer is the exercises above the Transformation Period, and the ninth layer is the place where the elders who guard the Pavilion practice and live. Li Yiming, a small Taoist priest who is responsible for the management of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, said that he is just a mortal, responsible for the daily management here, after all, a monk like Wei Wen is mainly based on cultivation every day, even if he comes here to hang a deacon, he is not responsible for the daily management here, but only plays a supplementary role, and discovers some things that mortals can't find. It can be said that this is a rather idle job, under normal circumstances, only those cultivators who have no hope of promotion and have little longevity, and who have no relatives outside the temple, will come here to hang a position, and then die here. Obviously, in Ming Fengzi's eyes, Wei Wen is such a person, after all, for a pseudo-spiritual root person, building a foundation is their highest achievement.
"Nine floors, in that case, what level can I go up to which layer under normal circumstances?" Wei Wen asked, he still had to ask a little more about these things at first, so it would be good.
"Under normal circumstances, monks in the training period can go up to the level of books in the foundation building period, monks in the foundation building period can go up to the layer of the Jindan stage, and so on, this is also to give them a clear direction, otherwise many seniors will not be able to advance because they do not have the next level of exercises. Li Yiming said.
"Oh! indeed, how can someone like us get to that level?" asked Waven.
When he heard this, Li Yiming handed a sign to Wei Wen, the brand was made of a metal that Wei Wen had not seen, which was different from his identity token, the front of the token was the word Yuanguan, and the reverse side was the three words of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and below the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion there were four words of Deacon Wei Wen. Wei Wen really wondered when this thing was made, it looked very quaint, but he knew that it had just been made, and this contradictory feeling really gave him a sense of novelty.
"Uncle Wei, this is the token of your Scripture Pavilion, you have the right to enter any layer of the Scripture Pavilion, as for whether you can read the jade slips or the contents of the books, it depends on your chance. Li Yiming said respectfully after withdrawing his hand.
"Can I enter any floor?" Wei Wen asked with some strange questions, after all, his cultivation is not high, although he is a deacon, but if any layer can be entered, then his authority is too high?
"Hehe, don't be surprised, Uncle Shi has spell prohibitions on each layer, and if we want to manage it, each layer always has to be checked every other day, and when you reach more than three layers, you need Uncle Shi to use your divine sense to check, if you can't go in, how can you check it? Of course, Uncle Shi can only consult the content of the first few pages of the book, and if you really want to learn that exercise, you can also open it directly to learn, of course, this is the chance, some uncles only open one exercise in their life, and some uncles open dozens of exercises, this is really not clear, can only be described by chance. Li Yiming explained, of course, as for why this is the case, he doesn't know at all, and the other deacons don't know, only the Supreme Elder who lives on the ninth layer knows, it all depends on his mood, originally, most of the prohibitions here are issued by predecessors, and some are under him, but whether it is the former or the latter, the overall control is in his hands, and he can show it to whoever he wants.
"Oh, are those exercises for the disciples to read for free?" asked Wei Wen.
"Of course not, if you read it for free, where would anyone cherish these things? Different levels of jade slips require different spirit stones to learn. Of course, that's the case for other disciples, and for the people of our Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, in addition to the exercises above the third level, we can read every book and watch every piece of jade at any time, which is our task and our welfare. Li Yiming said with a smile. Hearing this, Wei Wen thought about it, if the people in charge of these things in the entire Scripture Pavilion can't even look at them, who can know what is in it, what there are, whether there are any problems such as damage, etc.
"It's just that in this way, how can we keep it secret?" Wei Wen asked in surprise, you must know that the things here have set off a bloody storm in the immortal cultivation world, and this kind of management is too child's play.
"Haha, don't worry about it, uncle, in fact, you can only check to the seventh layer, and the eighth layer is generally inspected by the Supreme Elder, of course, if any senior uncle gets the weight of the Supreme Elder, he can also check it on his behalf. And the other exercises below this are not very nice words, and the real core lineage of our Yuanguan is not contained in this scripture pavilion, but is placed in another place, and the inheritance here is only our general exercises and those collected from the outside world. Li Yiming explained.
"I see!" Wei Wen sighed, it seems that each sect in the Immortal Cultivation Realm has its own unique place, and these places allow them to directly gain a foothold in the entire Cultivation Realm, otherwise they will definitely be eliminated.
For more than an hour, Li Yiming was explaining to Wei Wen the layout of the entire Scripture Pavilion and the common sense of the entire Yuanguan.
At this time, very few people came to the Scripture Pavilion to borrow books, but only three or two people.
"Thank you nephew, if my nephew doesn't have anything else, then I want to go in and take a walk by myself, take a look, I don't know if it's okay?" Wei Wen sighed, it's better to listen than to watch, some things still have to be really seen to know their true face, and you can't hear why.
"Uncle Shi casually-! Uncle Shi casually-!" Hearing Wei Wen's words, Li Yiming hurriedly stepped out of the way, made a hand gesture of invitation, and let Wei Wen walk in directly.
After listening to Li Yiming's introduction for nearly an hour, Wei Wen had a simple understanding of the entire Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but when he walked directly inside through the prohibition, he was still taken aback by this place, this place is not very big from the outside, but once inside, it is very vast, which makes Wei Wen really have some doubts about his ability to judge space. Fortunately, he had already had a preliminary understanding of the endless methods of cultivators, and the surprise in his heart gradually subsided for a while.
This place is very large, there is a hall in the middle, the top is covered with dotted light sources, like glowstones, illuminating the whole hall brightly, and the luminosity is just right, not dark and not too bright, the center of the hall is full of tables and chairs, row by row, there are only three people watching the book, and one person put a jade slip directly on his forehead, thinking that this is what Xu Qi said to him to use his divine sense to learn, which is more convenient. Rows of books on three sides of the hall were placed on huge bookshelves, and as for the legendary Jade Jane, it should be somewhere else, so Wei Wen didn't see it for a while. Wei Wen settled down and quickly walked towards the bookshelves, starting his journey to find books. Wei Wen looked at essays, travelogues, farming, medical treatment, and so on on one shelf after another, and finally he found what he was looking for in a corner - wine.
There weren't many books on wine in the whole book, but they also filled the two-compartment shelves, which made Wei Wen suddenly feel that he didn't need to make this trip. He took out a copy of "The Origin and Making of Wine" from the bookshelf and began to read it with relish.
On the ninth floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, at this time, the Taishang Elder stationed in Yuanguan suddenly opened his eyes and muttered, "Another newcomer? Judging from the fact that he is not very old, how could he come to this broken place?"
Although the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is the place where the exercises of the entire Yuanguan are inherited, and it is also one of the most important places in the entire sect, the oil and water here are far from being compared with other places, not to mention anything else, once a certain disciple gets the exercises he needs from here, then unless he needs it, he will generally not step here again. Of course, if these exercises are placed in the realm of cultivating immortals, then there will inevitably be no less disputes caused. So this is a place for the elderly, there are really no people like Wei Wen who came in their early twenties, only this one and no one else, and the others are people who are dying here and waiting for their lives. In this way, it is difficult for that Taishang not to care about everyone who comes to work here, the place is too big, and there are too few people!
"Well, this thing is simply not doing business, and it doesn't want to make progress at a young age, it's really Confucianism that can't be taught!"
Watching Wei Wen look at these books that had nothing to do with cultivation, this Supreme Elder couldn't help but laugh and cry, and finally a new blood came, but he was still a person who didn't do his job, how could he be embarrassed?
"Hmm, "One Hundred and Eight Brews of Immortal Wine"? Wei Wen read books very quickly, after all, he is also a cultivator now, and his memory has increased a lot.
Wei Wen held the book in one hand, directly used one of the fingers to keep turning the book, took out the gourd from his waist with the other hand, bit off the stopper, and then used the tip of his right finger to pick up the clothes, spit the stopper directly into it, and as soon as he looked up, he drank it directly with a sip of wine.
"Well, this kind of drunken immortal brew uses one hundred and thirty-five kinds of spirit fruits to be combined together and sealed for fermentation, and after being placed for another seven or forty-nine days, it can be taken out and drunk, if you want to have a better effect, you need to leave it for a long time. Well, this is going to be obtained, but where did all the elixir come from? Wei Wen said as he sipped his wine. Consciously and unconsciously, he got drunk directly after a while, and then he lay down next to the bookshelf and fell asleep. Snoring and fighting directly, fortunately, this place is relatively large, and there are few people, so except for Li Yiming and the Taishang Elder who was observing, no one really found him, after all, most of those disciples came here to learn the exercises, those are above the third layer, and there are not many people staying in this layer, and even fewer are in this corner.
In addition to the normal occasional inspection in the whole previous month, Wei Wen did not go up more than three floors, but found all the recipes and methods of winemaking in Yuanguan here on the entire first floor, in order to obtain these things, he even inspected the knowledge of every spiritual fruit, elixir, and spiritual object, and made all the information of spiritual fruits, elixirs, and spiritual objects clear, and made all the processes clear, and the taboos of the wine were also clear. It can be said that this wine was the main food for his future survival. Of course, while figuring out these things, Wei Wen also figured out the direction of his future cultivation.
In the practice of the whole world, regardless of the type of race, all those who practice can be divided into seven kinds of immortals, gods, Buddhas, demons, demons and monsters, the so-called immortals are mainly human beings and demons, the mana of this main practice, when it is a little higher, it can be called immortal power, this is the mainstream of human practice, most of the practitioners in the Yuan Concept are also immortal cultivators, and it is precisely because of the immortal heavy mana, so they are only effective for those who have spiritual roots, which greatly limits the number of immortal cultivators and cultivation, the better the spiritual root in the early stage, the faster the practice, but once they reach the time of the transformation of the gods, then they must return to the five elements of the spiritual root, only the five elements are complete to be promotedAt that time, they would use other treasures instead of spiritual roots to achieve the complete five elements and advance to the level of refining the void, which can be said to be the most paradoxical place for immortal cultivators. The so-called gods are based on the practice of ancient times, this kind of practice is usually based on the practice of divine arts, they pay more attention to the practice of the body, in most cases the whole person as a whole universe, in the body of the various points to form a small space, there are living things and dead things, and the main source of power of the cultivators is these called small universes, and finally all the small universes are combined to become their kingdom of God, and the belief of the creatures in the kingdom of God has become a major source of their power。 Cultivating Buddhas is similar to cultivating the gods, except that they do not cultivate the small universe, but focus on the spirit, and regard the body as a treasure to achieve the goal of becoming a Buddha. Demon is the collective name of demon beast demon cultivation. There are two kinds of demons, one is a natural demon, such as a heavenly demon, an earth demon, a yin demon, and so on, and the other is a human cultivator who imitates the practice of demons to practice, and finally directly becomes a demon. Oni are ghosts that are formed by the soul of a creature after it dies. Strange is a general term for other incredible things other than the six kinds of immortals, gods, Buddhas, demons and demons in the previous ones.
