Early in the morning, he encountered two situations, one cold and one warm, which made Chen Tianhong's heart extremely complicated. In the end, I still feel that "there are many good people", and the haze in my heart has been released a little, but I can't completely let go.

Walking on the wide avenue leading from southeast to northwest, there are many pavilions in the areas on both sides, and sparse figures are moving. Chen Tianhong didn't understand why there were so few people, and he didn't know who to ask in an unfamiliar environment, so he had to go to the study hall.

At this time, a young man stood at the door early, looking up at the thirty-six peaks of the gods towering into the clouds, as if he was a little distracted. The young man was of plain appearance, in his early thirties, with a scarf and hair, of medium stature, wearing a light blue robe with a round neck, and a long sword stuck diagonally on his back.

Seeing Chen Tianhong approaching, the young man took the initiative to speak: "Are you the senior brother of 'Chongming'?"

"Uh......" Chen Tianhong was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "My name is Chen Tianhong." My master asked me to come to the study hall to do things. I thought to myself: Why would someone call me "Senior Brother"? Is there something wrong there?

"My name is Ding Xian, and I am a disciple who works in the study hall. Today, on the order of Elder Mingzhu, I specially waited for my senior brother to come over. The young man beckoned, "Senior brother, enter the hall and say." ”

"Oh!"

Chen Tianhong answered, followed Ding Xian into the study hall, and came to a desk. There are three things on the desk, an oval green jade, a cube of white jade, and a set of four treasures of the study.

Ding Xian explained: "Qingyu is called 'holy talisman', which is only used within the sect, and is mainly used to record a disciple's contribution to the sect. The white jade is called 'Tianfu', which is common in the Shenzhou continent and is the 'transaction voucher' between individuals and merchants. The four treasures of the study room are necessary for the senior brother to walk in the study hall. ”

Ding Xian roughly explained, Chen Tianhong only understood the role of the four treasures of the study, and the other two did not understand. For a while, I was a little dumbfounded, and I was a little dazed.

Seeing this, Ding Xian said patiently: "If there is something that Senior Brother doesn't understand, please feel free to ask." Senior brother, I will know everything, and I will say everything. ”

Chen Tianhong said: "I don't understand the 'holy rune' and the 'heavenly rune'. Please tell me more about it. ”

Ding Xian nodded and explained in detail.

Since the establishment of the Nine Sages, the cultivation realm has created the "Three Runes", namely the "Dragon Runes", "Holy Runes", and "Heavenly Runes".

The Dragon Talisman is a record of an individual's contribution to the Shenzhou Continent. The way to obtain its contribution points is mainly from natural disasters or wars, and it has obtained achievements or merits that are recognized by the world and the nine major sects. There are only fourteen of these talismans, one for each of the nine major sects, and it has become a token of the sect leader early on. The other five were originally owned by the five powerful cultivators who followed the Nine Saints five thousand years ago, but since the death of the five Terran Gu Sages and Immortals, the whereabouts of the five dragon talismans are unknown.

The holy talisman is slightly similar to the dragon talisman, but it is only used within the major sects, and is specially used to record the contribution value of the disciples of the sect. The most important source of contribution points is to receive the sect task and complete it within the specified time limit, you will get the corresponding number of contribution points. Other special contributions, if any, can also be obtained after being evaluated by the elders. Contribution points can also be exchanged for corresponding spiritual resources. Other uses, such as lighting at night, keeping warm in winter, and cooling in summer, are just a few of the wonders.

Tianfu, a kind of "transaction voucher" commonly used in the Shenzhou Continent, is the only token between an individual and an organization. It is mainly used to store money. For example, a person worth 100,000 taels of silver cannot carry 100,000 taels of silver with him, but he has the need to use them at any time. Therefore, as long as this person's celestial talisman records 100,000 taels of silver, he can exchange it at any shop. As for the connections between shops and shops, and between shops and denominations, they are already established and do not need to be paid attention to.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ding Xian!" Chen Tianhong was grateful, his face calm.

"Senior Brother has just completed the retreat task of his own disciples, which is equivalent to starting his cultivation career in the sect. Presumably, there are many things that are not well understood. However, we cultivators, whether it is Taoism or knowledge, have always been able to accumulate bit by bit day after day, year after year, and there is really no shortcut to it.

Gu Xianyun: There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea.

I believe that in less than three or five years, the senior brother will be a peerless talent full of wealth, and his prestige will be shocking. ”

"There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea. Chen Tianhong silently wrote down this sentence, feeling that what Ding Xian said was very reasonable, but he always had another learning goal, and said: "Senior Brother Ding, can there be a book for identifying spiritual materials in the library?"

"Yes!" Ding Xian was slightly surprised, but seemed to quickly understand, "The 'Treasure of Materia Medica' is the common crystallization of the wisdom of the sages of the human race, and it is not unique to a certain person or sect. In the sect, there are only the 'study halls' and the three major alchemy halls that have a complete collection of Materia Medica. It's just that only the books in the library are open to the public. However, since the founding of the sect, the patriarch has set the rule of 'preaching the Tao with strength'. Therefore, if you want to read a book, you must have enough contribution value on the holy talisman. ”

"How much contribution value do you need to read this book?" Chen Tianhong finally understood, and said in his heart: It turns out that the difficulty of cultivating is ten thousand times more than the hard life in the mortal realm.

"Every three contribution points can be viewed once, and each time is limited to one hour. Ding Xian paused and said, "However, Senior Brother is a personal disciple, so he can get an extra hour of time. ”

"Can you transcribe it?"

"Yes. Ding Xian smiled and said, "Two hours of time are at your disposal." "When I speak, I can't finish my words.

In fact, in the near future, Chen Tianhong will soon understand. In this world where cultivating true power is respected, not many people spend a lot of time studying. There are very few people who can do everything.

"Senior brother, please follow me!" Ding Xian took Chen Tianhong to a small library and said, "This is Senior Brother's Book Pavilion." The task of the study hall is mainly to transcrib. In the future, if there is a task issued to the senior brother in the study hall, the original that needs to be copied will be placed here and various requirements will be indicated. Senior brother only needs to complete it as required. Therefore, the senior brother should come to his library from time to time. ”

Chen Tianhong agreed and wrote them down one by one in his heart.

The two returned to the main hall, and after Chen Tianhong put away the three things, Ding Xian took him out of the study hall, pointed to two optimus primes, one black and one white, and said: "These two pillars are called 'Hongjun Pillar', one yin and one yang, which means 'one yin and one yang for the way', which was set up by the ancestor of the Yuan Emperor himself. Five thousand years ago, when the patriarch of the Yuan Emperor set up these two pillars here, he used these two pillars as a basis to pass down the oracle of 'establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for all generations'. ”

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. Chen Tianhong silently remembered it in his heart.

Ding Xian smiled and said, "Senior brother, let's go for a walk together." ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ding!"

Along the way, Ding Xian told Chen Tianhong about the organizational structure of the Xiuzhen Giant Sect's Sealing Temple, as well as the rules of light or darkness.

* * *

Since the founding of the Shrine Temple, it has formed a core structure with the three major halls of "Yuqing Palace", "Shangqing Palace" and "Taiqing Palace" as the highest level, and it is also the absolute core where one door is located. The three halls mean the independent inheritance of the three veins.

The Yuqing Hall is the head of the Nine Saints and the descendant of the founding patriarch of the Fengshen Temple, "Yuan Huang". The two veins of Shangqing and Taiqing were established by the two ancestors of Emperor Yuan's right-hand man, "Tong Xuanzi" and "Tai Xuanzi". The two ancestors are also the ancient sages of the human race second only to the Nine Sages.

The ancestor of "Tong Xuanzi" is rumored to have magical powers, and he is still above the ancestor of the Yuan Emperor. Because it is in the beast together, just like the beast god descends to earth, invincible, so it is called the "beast god", "beast emperor" and other gods by the world. The Shangqing Palace, the inheritance is profound, and the internal strength is unfathomable. The "Instrument Hall", "Beast Hall" and "Treasure Hall", which the sect relies on the most, are all in charge of this lineage.

The ancestor of "Taixuanzi", it is rumored that his wisdom is above the nine saints, and throughout his life, he is the most proficient in the "Dan Dao". The three volumes of "Heaven, Earth, and Man" of the "Dan Sutra" have evolved and inherited the three veins of "Dantang", "Baicaotang" and "Baiyuntang". Therefore, the "Taiqing Palace", which is completely in charge of the pill of the Sealing Temple, is enough to stand tall with the inheritance of the other two veins.

The Yuqing Hall handed down by the ancestor of the Yuan Emperor is mainly in charge of the three major halls of "Book Hall", "Array Hall" and "Shutang". If you only look at the halls they are in charge of, there is no doubt that the Shangqing Hall is the strongest, and the Taiqing Hall is the second. However, the Yuqing Hall has always been an important position, and no one can shake it.

In the long river of more than 5,000 years, to this day, the Fengshen Temple has been passed down to the seventeenth generation of the Sect Leader Shengwu Zhenjun. Among the seventeen masters, two from the Taiqing and Shangqing two lineages, and the remaining thirteen people are from the Yuqing lineage.

Naturally, there is a root cause for this. And the root cause of this is well known. The six "heavenly guards" belonging to the Fengshen Temple are all under the control of the Yuqing Palace, and this power has never been left behind. Therefore, as strong as the Shangqing Palace, it can only be suppressed steadily.

In the long years of inheritance, in addition to the organizational structure of the "three major halls and nine halls" where the core of the sect is located, large and small hall forces have been formed. For example, the "Eternal Life Hall", "Dazaiyuan", and "Star Picking Palace" located in the "Earthquake Realm", and the "Tianluo Hall", "Zhaotian Palace", and "Chongyang Palace" located in the "Xun Realm" all have Jindan Realm elders in charge, and their internal strength is second only to the existence of the Nine Great Halls.

There are also large and small gangs of power that exist on the peaks, and some of them should not be underestimated. For example, the "Guangming Peak", "Wuyue Peak" and "Shenmu Cliff" located in the west of the Thousand Realms Plateau, and the "Jinting Peak", "Lingxu Peak", "Danxia Peak" located in the south of the Thousand Realms Plateau, and so on.

As the saying goes: where there are people, there is fighting, and where there is fighting, there are rivers and lakes. But none of this matters, the important thing is that everyone follows the "law of the jungle". Survival of the fittest, the principle of nature.

* * *

A sect with endless heritage, its inheritance is like a magnificent picture. Even if it is the tip of its iceberg, it is enough to write thousands of volumes of text.

Ding Xian's seemingly understated explanation has been very clear and clear to bring Chen Tianhong to the beginning. Chen Tianhong also found a problem, it seems that only in the north where he is located, there are no powerful gangs. However, he didn't ask, just silently remembered it.

As they spoke, the two unconsciously came to the black pillar.

Standing under the pillar of heaven, all the spirits of heaven and earth are as small as ants, which makes people feel compassionate. The avenue of cultivation is like the vastness of the universe, which is inexhaustible. In the short life of a monk, wanting to get a glimpse of the mystery of immortality in heaven and earth is indeed no different from the difficulty of ascending to heaven.

The pillars are surrounded by square-shaped light curtains of the same size, from low to high colors are white, green, blue, purple, red, orange, and black, and the color light curtains slowly rotate and spread out in a circular shape, forming a pyramid-shaped arrangement, like a rainbow stacking. The very center of each small light curtain square is a little different from the bright spot of the light curtain, like a lit lamp. Write up to seven small characters on the block, starting with the red light curtain, up to four words.

And in the red area, on a certain piece of light curtain, there are two words written impressively: gold mantis!

From the beginning, Chen Tianhong has been staring at the light curtain and has never looked away. Ding Xianquan on the side looked at it in his eyes, just smiled and said nothing. But when he saw Chen Tianhong's face twitching slightly, he was a little unbearable.

"The difficulty of the seven-color mission is naturally very different. If you use the simplest and most brutal method to divide it, it is probably that the Kaiyuan Realm monks can complete the green tasks at most, the Divine Artistic Conception monks can complete the purple tasks at most, and the other three-color tasks cannot be the Jindan Realm monks.

It's just that the Jindan Realm monk is already in the form of a strong monk, and he has a large number of followers. Some of the spiritual material resources used by the cultivation of Jindan Realm cultivators are worshipped by people. Therefore, no Jindan Realm monk would easily leave his cave mansion to complete these tasks.

Of course, there are also people who are lucky enough to have unexpected gains. ”

"How do I get the task?" Ding Xian had already said about this, but in fact, when it was close, Chen Tianhong found that people could not get close to those light curtains, so he asked.

Ding Xian said: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, only high-level monks in the Kaiyuan Realm can receive these tasks. Because the premise of receiving the task is that the realm can reach the 'exorcism'. ”

"What is 'Driving Away'?" Chen Tianhong inadvertently imitated some of the dialogues in the book, and asked half-confusedly, "Is it the kind of way that Senior Brother can fly with a sword?"

"That's right!" Ding Xian said, "Senior Brother is a personal disciple of the True Monarch of the Sect, and he must have obtained the most profound 'Imperial Sword' technique. There are not many people in the sect who dare to get an axe. ”

When he spoke, he had no intention of looking at Chen Tianhong. Chen Tianhong happened to be staring at him as well. Although he couldn't be completely sure, Dan Ding's insincere words still made Chen Tianhong hear clearly.

Chen Tianhong knew that he didn't have the strength and ability, so he went to ask for the interest of "gold mantis", so he dispelled the redundant thoughts. Looking at the sky, I thought about returning to the cave, it was probably getting dark. So I decided to return earlier.

"Thank you, senior brother, for mentioning it!"

"Senior Brother Chongming's words are serious, I am just acting on the orders of Elder Mingzhu! Today, it is not early, and Senior Brother is still some distance away from returning to the Cave Mansion. It's better to return early. Ding Xian paused, felt that something was wrong with his words, and added: "Although the core area of the sect is safe, it is difficult to ensure complete security. There are a lot of incidents of monsters hurting people every year. Therefore, senior brother must not be careless. ”

Chen Tianhong nodded, saluted Ding Xian, then turned to leave, and said in his heart: "It turns out that Senior Brother Ding treated me like this, but he was just acting on orders. If he doesn't obey the order, will he treat me like the fat man who knocked me out of the Dantang this morning?"

Somehow, Chen Tianhong had strange feelings about the two "acting orders" that Ding Xian repeatedly emphasized. Fortunately, at least in his heart now, he is extremely grateful to Ding Xian.

The foal quietly follows to the side.

When passing by Dantang, Chen Tianhong involuntarily stopped and looked at Dantang. His heart fluctuated slightly, but there was not much hatred. He was just thinking: his identity as a disciple of the True Monarch in charge of the sect has weight in front of whom, and no weight in front of whom.

After a long time, a young man walked out of Dantang, who was the same person who was talking to Chen Tianhong in the morning.

Chen Tianhong saw someone coming out, so he moved his steps and walked towards the mountain road to the north. Inadvertently, his fists clenched, and his bones made a crisp sound. However, there was no anger in his heart.

By the time one man and one horse came to the mountain road, it was already dark. Chen Tianhong was in a hurry, and trotted and ran. About the middle of the mountain road, a huge figure quietly appeared in the mountain on the right, like a moving gray cloud, enveloping Chen Tianhong and the foal.

The gray cloud gently swept over the mountain road, and then turned into a dark void and swam towards the back of the Jiuyang Mountain Range. And the men and horses who were hurrying on the mountain road were gone.
