Chapter 16 The Great Hall of Heaven
The number of people in Dugu Yangming and his entourage on Buzhou Mountain was as many as 360 people, creating a "scene" that the sect had never had. For a while, because the sect was not prepared, it had to be postponed for two days before arranging everyone in a valley that had not been used for a long time. Because this valley was opened up into 12 mountain roads, each of which was marked by 12 earthly branches, it was named Meridian Valley.
Judging from the mountainous area alone, the Meridian Valley is very large. But looking down on Buzhou Mountain, it is only like a piece of scale armor on the body of a giant dragon, which is extremely small. Although it is one of the last valleys on Buzhou Mountain, it is still ten million times better than the best location on Kaizheng Island.
On each mountain road in the Meridian Valley, there are fifty caves. Under the arrangement of the sect, the three hundred and sixty people were still relatively loosely divided into various caves. Judging from the distribution of the cave mansion, the elders in the sect seem to trust the ethics of the disciples of the sect very much, and do not avoid the obscurity of men and women, and arbitrarily separate. Among them, there is also the meaning of letting everyone take care of the valley.
In other words, Dugu Yangming took the lead in walking towards the stone road in the valley of the Chen character. After walking for a short time, he came to a stone gate and skillfully opened the stone door. After a moment's hesitation, he stepped into the cave.
Glancing at it, I saw that in the cave, the seven caves were distributed in a fan-shaped shape according to the mountain, from the middle to the two sides in turn, and the cave gradually became smaller. The largest, apparently master bedroom in the middle, contains a jade-like locker and a stone bed. In a cave to the right of the master bedroom, there are several bare stone platforms, which should be prepared for alchemy, refining, etc. In the two caves on both sides, the ground is soft and the cave walls are rough and uneven, which should be prepared for spiritual cultivation, and the disciples of the sect can plant some spiritual flowers and spiritual trees at will.
A long sigh: "This is really too simple!
Dugu Yangming didn't bother to take a closer look at the other caves, walked straight to the master bedroom, came to the locker, took out five low-level Ruyi magic weapons from his arms, and carefully put them on the top floor. He also took out a delicate cage, which was divided into three parts, the larger one in the middle, a pair of twin brothers on the right, and a bird's egg on the left.
After staring at it for a long time, he said to himself: "This egg seems to have begun to crack under the effect of this magic weapon beast cage. The twin brothers and the little guy who looks like a dragon and not a dragon don't grow at all, I don't know why! Damn, don't worry about this for now, have a good rest, and go to the Tianqi Temple tomorrow!"
For a 10,000-year-old giant sect like the True Martial Palace, the foundation of the sect was chosen on a spiritual vein, and relying only on this spiritual vein, it could cope with any period when there was a shortage of spiritual materials for cultivation. Therefore, for the disciples who can enter the Ning Yuan Realm and go up to Zhou Mountain, the first reward given by the sect can be regarded as extremely generous.
The rewards are mainly a second-order Taoism, a middle-level Ruyi instrument, and ancient books in the library, and you can choose two of them within the optional range. In addition to these three most important things, there are also daily utensils such as a set of clothes and tea sets for inner disciples, and some will also be provided.
Tianqi Hall is the only hall where the study hall is located, but it is also the largest hall on Buzhou Mountain. In the hall, except for the first floor, which is a bookstand made of pure jade, the second to ninth floors are all Ruyi spaces made of supreme divine power. It is also one of the nine schools that can be compared to the three palaces in terms of book collection.
The location of this hall, standing in the main hall nearly ten zhang to see, seems to be built on a bow-shaped mountain raised by Buzhou Mountain, and further away to look at it, but it seems to be inlaid in a spring of Buzhou Mountain. Moreover, among the twelve halls under the jurisdiction of the seven halls, the hall farthest from Zhenwutai is the one that is the farthest away. Therefore, it seems to be very quiet, and it is really a place of books made in heaven.
Before the time came, more than 300 people were already waiting here, and all of them were slightly nervous, revealing extremely excited expressions.
After the senior brothers and sisters of the sect opened the door of the hall, they rushed in and received their share of the reward. All the time is naturally spent on choosing the Dao. The second-order Dao method, if you talk about the price, is worth five hundred and sixty spirit crystals. This amount is indeed a lot of money for a monk who has just entered the Ning Yuan Realm from the Qi Refining Realm. Of course, people with special origins like Dugu Yangming are not painful.
When choosing a Dao Method, someone said, "It's not easy to cultivate a second-order Dao Method, so naturally it's mainly attacking." The Thunder Dao Technique is too difficult to cultivate, so I still choose a Gold Technique. Come on, it's the 'golden arrow withering'. Someone responded: "This is good, I want to choose this too!"
Someone said, "When hunting demon beasts, the number of misses is often more than the number of hits, and it would be good if you chose a defensive method!" Someone responded, "Then this 'Absolute Earth Domain' is suitable for you!"
Everyone was gossiping and talking endlessly, and some people went forward to consult their fellow brothers and sisters to help them make a decision. As the discussion gradually weakened, there were fewer and fewer people in the Tianqi Palace. After these men left the main hall, they walked straight down a narrow mountain stairway. Because this ladder is connected to the most important Zhenwutai in the sect. Standing on the Zhenwu platform, the magnificent scenery of the sea can be seen at a glance.
It was almost noon, and there was a young man wearing clothes backwards, walking towards the Tianqi Hall with a big grin, leisurely and leisurely. When I entered the hall, there were only seven people, who were still pondering the Dao method repeatedly, so they said loudly: "These people, who are greedy for small and cheap, are all very fast! This is a great misfortune for the sect!"
A woman on the counter said "yo" and said, "Dugu Yangming, why did you come? It seems that it is not a rare reward from the sect!"
Dugu Yangming pursed his lips, "This is really not a secret from this senior sister, I really mean something! Such a big sect, not to mention the bad position for us, but also reward this little thing." If this gets out, I really don't know what other people will think of us. After a pause, he added, "I'm here today mainly to buy something." I don't know, this hall is complete?"
A sharp-faced man said: "As long as the junior brother's spirit crystals are enough, there is everything in this hall." ”
"That's great! It shows that a few of you still have some ability to do things!"
If Xu Huaiyuan hadn't said hello to these people and talked like Dugu Yangming, it would have set off another storm. When he himself talks nonsense, he always chokes others for a while before he stops.
After Dugu Yangming put away his copy, he picked up a thick booklet, and after turning a few pages, he asked loudly: "Why does this only have a table of contents and an abstract? Are you cheating again?"
Which woman smiled "hehe", and said in response to the question: "Dugu Yangming, you directly put away the reward I prepared for you, and don't check or check? If it is leaked, we will not admit it if you get out of this palace!"
"Don't hide it from Senior Sister, I never think that what others take the initiative to send will be a good thing. Hey, by the way, can you tell me why this second-order Dao Fa booklet is just a catalog?"
The sharp-faced man said, "Senior Brother Dugu, this time, it has always been like this." Second, the sect also does this in order to prevent some people who have never forgotten it. He would have only had to say the first sentence. Obviously, he also knew that this boy who was not afraid of heaven and earth, so the latter sentence was deliberately said to Dugu Yangming.
Dugu Yang looked at it carefully for a while, and muttered: "If you want to pick an offensive Dao method, in the Ning Yuan Realm, there are one or two second-order ones, which are enough to cultivate." After deciding, he said to his senior sister: "Senior sister, I choose this 'Celei Slaughter Immortal Technique'." I still want to buy a third-order Dao method, I don't know if it's possible?"
At this time, because everyone else had already left, the eight people on the counter had already approached each other. When everyone heard the Dao method chosen by Dugu Yangming, they were all surprised.
A melon-seed-faced, slightly chubby senior sister shook her head and said, "Senior Brother Dugu, although you are extremely talented, I am afraid that there is something wrong with this Dao method you choose!"
Dugu Yangming asked very respectfully, "May I ask Senior Sister, why?"
"'Celestial Slaughter Immortal Technique' is at the end of the catalog, and the cultivation is extremely complicated, not to mention, it is the only one with a sevenfold realm among the hundreds of second-order Dao methods. Once cultivated, you generally have to cultivate to the Yuan Dan realm, and you may reach the sixth or seventh level. ”
"Oh, Senior Sister, why didn't you say anything in this booklet? Hearing you say that, doesn't it mean that no one has ever cultivated this second-order Dao method?"
A middle-aged man with a beard took over and said, "Yes, there is, and besides, which master is the only one who has cultivated to the seventh level. The sect once wanted to classify this Dao method as a sixth-order Dao method, but after the suggestion of this master, he thought that it could still be classified as a second-order Dao method. If there are really people in the sect who can continue to cultivate to the great attainment, they will also benefit a lot. ”
"May I ask this senior brother, who cultivates this Dao method, but is the True Dragon Master Ancestor?"
The faces of the eight people changed drastically, and the bearded man exclaimed: "How do you know? A hairy boy who has not dried up and has just gone to Zhou Mountain actually knows the True Dragon Master Ancestor, and also knows the Dao method cultivated by his old man?"
"Damn, how can you scold people with a goatee? Fucking you, at such an old age, you are only a middle-level Taoist in the Ning Yuan Realm, and you are angry! When the True Dragon Master Ancestor fought with the Earth Demon, I was the one who swept the formation for the Master Ancestor. At that time, maybe you were making out with a senior sister, and what qualifications did you have to say this to me? I won't ask you, and you won't answer my questions. Hmph!"
Dugu Yangming didn't care about Hua Huzi's feelings, turned his head to the face of the melon seed and said, "Senior sister, I will choose this second-order Dao method! In addition, can you explain a little about the third-order Dao method I just asked." ”
The girl with a melon seed face said: "Senior Sister Ning, you can help Senior Brother Dugu get the recipe book of the 'Celei Slaughtering Immortal Technique'." Senior Brother Dugu, in fact, before reaching the peak of the Ning Yuan Realm, he could only cultivate the second-order Dao method, which was enough to run rampant in Hongmeng. This third-order Dao method, although it is in the early stage of the Ning Yuan Realm, can be comprehended and cultivated. But in general, the requirements for the spiritual power of the monks are too high, and there are also high requirements for the degree of arrogance of the **. If you are not careful, it will definitely backfire, and you will miss the future of cultivation. I advise you to think again, think again!"
"Thank you Senior Sister for your teachings! It's just that I made up my mind early to pay attention, and while I have a little spirit crystal, I will buy a third-order Dao method first. Please also ask the senior sister to be fulfilled!" When Dugu Yangming said this, everyone was stunned, and they realized that Dugu Yangming acted as a person who only occupied the word "reason", and they couldn't help but admire it in their hearts.
"Oh yes!"
Flower Beard pushed a relatively thin booklet down the glass counter to Dugu Yangming's eyes. Dugu Yinyang glanced at him, picked up the booklet very respectfully, and after carefully flipping through a few pages, he raised his head and asked, "Senior sister, why doesn't this preview album of the third-order Dao method even have a brief summary?
"Dugu Yangming, why do you think people so badly? The eight of us, who belong to the Eight Great Halls, have come to the Tianqi Hall to preside over this matter at the behest of the Sect Elder Jun! This Senior Brother Diao Shao of the Shutang is directly in charge of the Dao Law Booklet. How can you be so vexatious!"
Dugu Yangming chuckled a few times with a grin, and arched his hand and said, "Senior Brother Diao, there were many rudeness in my words just now, please forgive me!" After a pause, he said, "Senior Brother Diao, can you explain to me the precautions of the third-order Dao method?"
Diao Shao glared at him and said calmly: "The third-order Dao method, in fact, is only in terms of power, and it is much more powerful than the second-order Dao method. If you really want to talk about the complexity of cultivation, there is not much difference. The third-order Dao method of this sect focuses on attack and light defense, so you can consider it from this aspect. ”
Dugu Yang Ming saw that what this person said, it seemed that there was no falsehood, and after thinking about it for a while, he read it more carefully. Xin Dao: "If it is really as he said, then in the Condensing Yuan Realm stage, it is enough to only need to cultivate the second-order Dao method well! Moreover, I have already chosen an offensive Dao method, should I consider a defensive Dao method?"
For a long time, the eight senior brothers and sisters of the same sect have become a little impatient. Dugu Yangming was also difficult to make a decision for a while, and suddenly felt that he was indeed a little reckless, and said secretly: "Since it is difficult to choose, then I will only choose the last Dao method just like just now." ”
"Smack, smack, smack!"
Dugu Yangming slapped his forehead three times, and said decisively: "Senior Brother Diao, I choose the Dao method of 'Four Elephant Dragon Armor'!" After speaking, he counted 1,800 spirit crystals from his Ruyi necklace.
Diao Shao handed over a booklet of more than thirty pages, put away the spirit crystals, and said, "Senior Brother Dugu, the way of cultivation is the most jealous of greed. As the saying goes: 'If you are greedy, you will not chew it, and if you want to be fast, you will not be able to achieve it'. You're going to have to worry about it!"
"Thank you for your teachings, keep it in mind!"
Subsequently, Dugu Yangming spent another four hundred spirit crystals to purchase some daily necessities from a senior sister in the treasure hall. Only then did he leave with a swagger, and when he left the door of the main hall, he turned around and asked, "May I ask, the Beast King Palace, how to move?"
