Chapter 212 Second Floor

Qi Xuansu opened the ban with a jade token and entered the alley.

The alley was nothing special, but it was extremely narrow and long. It was obvious that the nine libraries inside were not ordinary pavilions, but were very large.

Coming out of the alley, the nine libraries formed a patio. In the middle of the patio was a sparkling lake. In the middle of the lake was an island in the middle of the lake. On the island was a three-story pavilion, which was symmetrical with the reflection in the lake. This is how Tianshui Yixinlou got its name.

Qi Xuansu walked straight all the way to the island in the middle of the lake without stopping.

There was an invisible bridge on the lake that could not be seen by the naked eye. As long as you walked straight forward after leaving the alley, you could walk to the bridge smoothly.

After crossing the bridge, you walked around for a distance and came to the front door. You could see a plaque with the four characters "Shangshan Ruoshui" on it, which was full of artistic conception.

The door under the plaque was closed, and the Taoist logo of Tai Chi Bagua also appeared.

Qi Xuansu waved the jade token in his hand, opened the ban, and pushed the door open.

The first floor of Tianshui Yixin Building is full of bookshelves, with various books arranged in different categories, all packed in book boxes. People who come here for the first time will inevitably be overwhelmed.

There is also a borrowing record not far away. All the names on it are powerful people. Qi Xuansu took a look and found that the last name was indeed Sun Hewu.

Qi Xuansu remembered one thing. Yao Pei said that Shi Dazhenren was a very upright person who valued rules. Shi Dazhenren had the right to go to the third floor, but he would not go in because it was not necessary. Shi Dazhenren was not the chief master, nor the assistant of Zixiao Palace. He had no right to deal with prisoners, let alone a jailer. He did not need to check the condition of prisoners. What was he going to do on the third floor? So the chief master must not know what happened on the third floor.

Qi Xuansu was a little suspicious at the time.

In theory, the chief master did not know about this, but it was only in theory. No one could guarantee that the chief master would not go in and take a look on a whim.

Yao Pei's answer was: "There is nothing infallible in this world. As long as you are 70% or 80% sure, it is enough."

Now it seems that Qi Xuansu's worries at that time were not unreasonable. The Grand Master of the Palace really would not go to the third floor in theory. In fact, he not only went there, but also investigated the whole thing thoroughly.

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu suddenly came to his senses.

In fact, the Grand Master Shi had hinted at this matter a long time ago.

Because the "Master Heren of Jianxiu Mountain" incident happened when the two of them visited Tianshui Yixin Tower at night, according to reason, only Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei knew about it, and no third person knew about it, not even Zhang Yuelu. Because this is not a glorious thing, Qi Xuansu can't spread everywhere that he recognized the wrong word, and Yao Pei's temperament is not a talkative person.

As a result, the Grand Master Shi not only knew about this matter, but also asked Qi Xuansu to strengthen his study.

So how did the Grand Master Shi know it?

There are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that there are things like "Demon Eye" and "Photo Stone" in Tianshui Yixin Tower, which recorded what happened at that time. Later, when Shi Dazhenren checked the photos, he knew about this matter.

Another possibility is that after Shi Dazhenren found out about this matter, he had talked to Yao Pei, and Yao Pei confessed everything, including this matter.

Although Shi Dazhenren had hinted to Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu was surrounded by the emotion called "embarrassment" at that time and did not realize it. Later, Qi Xuansu took the initiative to mention Tianshui Yixin Tower again. Shi Dazhenren felt that he had to point it out, otherwise Qi Xuansu would think he didn't know about it. However, considering that Qi Xuansu was his own child, he finally agreed to this not very reasonable request.

In fact, the elders have a mentality. They don't dislike the younger generations asking them for help, and even like it very much, because this can not only show the presence of the word "elder", but also appear close. If you don't ask for help in everything, it will appear distant.

Qi Xuansu didn't get too entangled. He was an accomplice in this matter. If the sky really fell, it was Yao Pei who was on top. With his current status and position, he would not let Yao Pei take the blame.

Qi Xuansu did it too, and the word "also" is very important.

As for why Master Shi did not open Tianshui Yixin Tower even though he had moved the dragon girl away, it was probably because they had become dependent on it over the years.

It has been sealed for many years, so there is no need to send people to manage it, which is very labor-saving. Now reopening it means a series of things, such as arranging a special golden and purple teacher or a deputy assistant to be in charge of it, matching various guards and maintenance personnel, and establishing a review mechanism. Who can come and who can't come, it's not just opening the door and it's done, it's very troublesome.

It's better to keep everything as it is, anyway, it won't affect anything. Or wait until the seventh generation of the headmaster takes office and needs some new atmosphere, and then reopen it, which is also a good meaning.

No mistakes are merits.

Qi Xuansu calmed down and looked at the bookshelves one by one.

The books here have been classified according to the various schools of thought, so it is not troublesome to check them. You don't have to read every book, just look at the nameplate on the bookshelf.

Soon, Qi Xuansu looked through all the bookshelves on the first floor. There was nothing related to ancient witchcraft, so he had to go to the second floor.

The second floor of Tianshui Yixin Building was not smaller than the first floor, but there were fewer bookshelves, so it looked empty. It can be imagined that the quality of these books was even better than the first floor.

In addition, there were tables and chairs placed near many windows, but these windows were all closed. If you get close, the seal mark of Tai Chi Bagua will also appear.

In addition, there is a huge figure here, about more than ten feet tall, with the top of his head almost touching the roof of the building. It is made of gold and iron. Its appearance is somewhat similar to the Lingguan armor. The enlarged spiritual organ.

The Taoist sect calls it a mechanism puppet. It is a model of cooperation between Tianjitang and Huashengtang before they were separated. It not only uses the mechanism technique, but also has the blessing of the divine power of the talisman, because the diamond is indestructible, invulnerable to water and fire, and has great strength. Infinite reasons, its combat power is comparable to that of heavenly beings, and because of its large size, it can be equipped with Taoist imitation dragon balls, and can even be connected with formations and earth energy. Its battery life is far better than that of Lingguan. In addition to being expensive, it has almost Obvious shortcomings.

Some places have been closed for many years. If a living person is allowed in, they will be driven crazy. However, this kind of place is very important, and people must be sent.

Generally, those who are willing to do it are not strong enough in the realm, and those who are in the realm of sufficient cultivation are not willing to do it. Because the spirit officer needs to replenish his divine power, he must often change defense shifts, so these puppets that can usually sleep to save consumption come into use. land.

For example, the Tianshui Yixin Building at this time has been closed for many years, and all the Taoist spiritual officers originally stationed here have been evacuated. However, the Wanxiang Taoist Palace still made a last-ditch defense, that is, a puppet of a mechanism was placed here to replace the original spiritual officers.

After Qi Xuansu arrived on the second floor, the machine puppet immediately noticed and locked onto Qi Xuansu, his eyes flashing red.

Of course Qi Xuansu remembered this guy and was not panicked.

It was the culprit of the "Master of Jianxiu Mountain" incident. If it hadn't been for it, Yao Pei would not have taken out the seal of "Master of Jianxiu Mountain". If Yao Pei had not taken out the seal, then Qi Xuansu would not have read it wrong. To the point of making a joke.

Now not only Yao Pei knows, but also Shi Daren and Zhang Yuelu.

In other words, Zhang Yuelu was kind and would never laugh at Qi Xuansu. If it were Xiao Yin, her big mouth would soon be known to half of the Taoist government in Borneo.

Fortunately, Xiao Yin didn't know, otherwise Qi Xuansu really didn't know where to put his old face, and how to discipline Xiao Yin.

The huge puppet was only on alert, but not in a hostile state. It made a dull voice: "Dear second-grade Taiyi Taoist Priest, please leave the second floor immediately, otherwise I will use force to expel you. I repeat, please leave the second floor."

Qi Xuansu just stretched out his hand, and a mountain logo appeared in his palm, like a talisman.

This mountain is Jianxiu Mountain.

The flashing red light in the eyes of the giant puppet suddenly dimmed and turned into two green lights, and the voice became gentle: "Class C authority has been confirmed. Dear second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest, I wish you a happy reading."

The giant puppet turned and left.

At first, the Earth Master took back the A-level authority, but still gave Qi Xuansu a C-level authority. This puppet obviously came from Jianxiushan, which is the scope covered by the C-level authority. Don't think that the C-level authority is very low. Above that are the three major yin The object is at the same level as "Emperor Shakti".

Qi Xuansu began to check the books on the second floor. This time he was not disappointed. He found the bookshelf labeled "Ancient Witch Cult" in the northeast corner.

But here are only tortoise shells and bamboo slips, which are really "only copies". Fortunately, the library probably considered that some people were not good enough to read these oracle bone inscriptions directly, so they still placed corresponding translations. However, these translations are more than 800 years old and are very precious.

Qi Xuansu opened a book.

The origin of the ancient witchcraft religion is recorded here, and it is also the witchcraft religion’s own statement. The eleven great shamans are essentially subordinates of the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven is the ancient human emperor. The so-called witchcraft religion is actually more like a part of the imperial court, similar to The combination of Qin Tian Jian, Si Li Jian, Imperial Hospital, and Ministry of Rites was equivalent to half of the cabinet and half of the inner court.

Of course, there was no court statement at that time, so it was just a metaphor.

The ten witches of Lingshan have three main responsibilities, one is divination, one is offering sacrifices, and the other is curing diseases and saving lives.

The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs.

The ten witches of Lingshan were responsible for the sacrifices, so the ten witches of Lingshan had a very high status and great power at that time. Wu Yang is similar to the personal secretary of the Emperor of Heaven, and often carries out the orders of the Emperor of Heaven independently.

To put it bluntly, the Emperor of Heaven is compared to the Heavenly Master. The ancient witch religion is the Shangqing Palace. Wu Xian is equivalent to the real person in charge of the Shangqing Palace and is the chief secretary. The other nine great witches are equivalent to the assistants of the Shangqing Palace and are managed by Wu Xian. Wu Yang is similar to Tang Jiaohua. He is the personal secretary of the Celestial Master. Although his status is not as good as the chief secretary, he spends the longest time with the Celestial Master and is the closest to the Celestial Master. He is the person who can influence the Celestial Master the most.

Qi Xuansu concluded: "The eleven secretaries of the Emperor of Heaven."
