Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 140 Tianshui Yixin Tower

If you ask who is the best at slaying dragons, the Taoist sect considers itself second, and no one dares to claim first place. Since the Taoist sect began to vigorously build flying boats, the demand for dragon balls has greatly increased, so the Taoist sect began a century-long dragon hunting and slaying.

Speaking of slaying dragons, there are no real dragons in the world, only Jiaolongs, and what they kill are Jiaolongs.

In the eyes of the world, Jiaolongs can call the wind and rain, can go up to the sky and into the earth, and are hundreds of feet long. How can they be hunted? But Jiaolongs in the eyes of the Taoist sect are no different from tigers and leopards in the eyes of ordinary people. Even if they are a little dangerous, how can tigers be a match for humans?

The result is that the Taoist sect has almost killed Jiaolongs to extinction. At least it is difficult to see traces of Jiaolongs in rivers, lakes and offshore. Only in the deep sea far away from the land can there be Jiaolongs.

To be fair, Jiaolongs are born extremely powerful. After adulthood, they can be comparable to pseudo-immortals, and when they reach the peak, they can be compared with immortals.

But two fists are no match for four hands. Jiaolongs do not live in groups. Facing the Taoist sect's outnumbered attack, they have almost no power to resist. By the time the dragons reacted, even if they wanted to join forces, it was too late and they could only flee to the open sea.

Under such circumstances, the Taoist sect was notorious for the dragons. Under such circumstances, there were still dragons who dared to sneak into the Taoist Wanxiang Dao Palace to learn the art of longevity. It must be said that they were really brave.

In the past hundred years, the Taoist sect began to try to imitate the dragon balls. With the existing stock of dragon balls, there was no need to hunt dragons. With the change of thought, while the descendants enjoyed the shadow of their predecessors, there were other voices. Some people even criticized the predecessors for being too cruel and advocated that the heavens should treat dragons well.

However, there were also quite a few people who disagreed. If there were no predecessors who had worked hard, there would be no Taoist sect today? Does anyone want to walk to Kunlun? What is the difference between the Taoist sect slaughtering dragons and the world killing chickens and cattle? Are dragons more noble than chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep? It is better to make a dragon suffer than to make yourself suffer. It is fine if outsiders say something, but if you are enjoying the benefits of your ancestors, you should not set up such a moral archway.

This is a more serious problem in Taoism in recent years, the trend of becoming a pure stream. Probably because there are too many Taoists in Huapu, more and more people have begun to pay attention to morality unrealistically, occupying the moral high ground and arbitrarily accusing others, and demanding others by the standards of saints, just like the pure streams of the previous dynasty.

To Qi Xuansu, the Sixth Grand Master seemed like an ancient person in a book. In fact, just like Zhang Yuelu in the legend in Qin Xiang's eyes, he was not that far away. If the Sixth Grand Master had not ascended in advance, he should still be the current Grand Master, and would not be prefixed with "Sixth Generation" by the Taoist disciples. Although there is no explicit regulation in Taoism, according to the unwritten rules, the current Grand Master is generally called "Grand Master" or "Master Master". Only the previous Grand Master is prefixed with several generations, because Taoism does not have a reign, temple, or posthumous name, so it can only be distinguished in this way.

In other words, when the Fifth Grand Master was in office, Qi Xuansu was not born yet, but when the Sixth Grand Master was in office, Qi Xuansu was already there and was sent to the Wanxiang Dao Palace, but the two had never had any intersection. After the Sixth Grand Master passed away, the various changes and shocks that occurred were too far away for Qi Xuansu, who was young and far away from the center of Yujing.

From this, we can see that the Sixth Grand Master should actually be considered a modern person, who was influenced by many emerging thoughts and believed that the dragons should be treated well and should not be slaughtered. Therefore, he spared the dragons' lives, which was more in line with the image of the "good guy" in Sun Hewu's words.

Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered something: "Now that the Grand Master of the Palace is staying in Yujing and has not returned, the old Master will take over the Wanxiang Dao Palace. In other words, the old Master can enter Tianshui Yixin Tower?"

Sun Hewu laughed: "In theory, it is true."

Qi Xuansu looked at the crystal-like wall again.

Sun He seemed to be talking to Qi Xuansu, and seemed to be muttering to himself: "Speaking of Tianshui Yixin Tower, there are still a few good books that I haven't finished reading. If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I can get them back."

The old and the young looked at each other.

"Go in and take a look?"

"What if we let the big monster go?"

"Old Shi said that Tianshui Yixin Tower has three floors in total, and the big monster was sealed on the top floor by the sixth generation of the Great Master. As long as we don't go to the top floor, we will be fine?"

"Who is Old Shi?"

"It's the Great Master of the Palace you mentioned. We have been friends for many years, otherwise he wouldn't let me take over the Wanxiang Dao Palace."

"If the Great Master of the Palace knew..."

"Just don't let him know."

"Then take a look?"

"Take a look!"

Qi Xuansu also saw that Sun Hewu had wanted to go to Tianshui Yixin Tower for a long time, but he was still struggling, as if there were two villains in his heart arguing with each other. Now he has become the last straw that broke the camel's back, giving Sun Hewu an excuse to make up his mind.

No wonder this old master couldn't be promoted to the position of assistant master. Besides being too idle, the main reason was not because of his ability or qualifications, but because he was a little out of tune. He had been studying in the study all his life, so he always had a childish mentality. It was hard for people to be completely assured if he was placed in too important a position.

Sun Hewu took out a jade token from the Xumi object, which looked like a token and a talisman.

The old man strode towards the alley closest to the two of them. The Taoist symbol of Tai Chi Bagua immediately appeared on the crystal wall blocking the entrance of the alley. The Bagua did not move, but the Yin and Yang fish slowly rotated.

Sun Hewu waved the jade token in his hand.

The Yin-Yang Pisces immediately began to rotate in the opposite direction, and the entire wall began to disintegrate, turning into a countless interweaving of light. There was already a gap, and through the gap, you can see the scene behind the wall.

After a moment, the interweaving light began to dissipate, and there was no barrier at all.

Sun Hewu was in front, and Qi Xuansu followed closely behind, walking into the alley.

There was nothing special about the alley, but it was very narrow and long. It can be seen that the nine libraries with a different world inside were not ordinary pavilions, but very large in size.

After leaving the alley, the nine libraries surrounded a patio. In the middle of the patio was a small lake that sparkled in the moonlight. 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. I think it was the Tianshui Yixin Tower mentioned by Sun Hewu.

Sun Hewu walked straight all the way to the island in the middle of the lake without stopping.

Qi Xuansu followed Sun Hewu, thinking that they would walk on the waves, but they found an invisible bridge on the lake that could not be seen by the naked eye. As long as they walked straight forward after leaving the alley, they could walk to the bridge smoothly.

After crossing the bridge, they walked around for a distance and came to the front door. Looking up, they could see a plaque with the four characters "Shangshan Ruoshui". It was written by someone unknown, but it was full of artistic conception.

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

Sun Hewu still waved the jade card in his hand and prepared to push the door in.

At this moment, a cold voice floated from behind the two: "Okay, you entered Tianshui Yixin Tower without permission, I will tell the Grand Master of the Palace."

Sun Hewu and Qi Xuansu turned around and saw Yao Pei coming to the lake along the alley they had walked when they came.

Qi Xuansu felt a little guilty and coughed lightly: "Daoyou Yao is really elusive."

"I just happened to be studying in the nearby bookstore." Yao Pei said expressionlessly.

Sun Hewu was not afraid of Yao Pei's threats at all, and waved his hand: "Yao's girl, you can just state the conditions directly. The old man will agree to what he can agree to. If the old man cannot agree to it, you can sue him to the Golden Palace, but he cannot agree to it."

Sun Hewu paused for a moment, and then said: "Besides, I am the acting palace master, which is in accordance with the rules. What is there to be afraid of?"

Yao Pei walked along the invisible bridge to the two of them and said, "Count me in."

Sun Hewu laughed and pushed the door open and walked in first.

Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei looked at each other, and no one spoke, and followed behind.

The first floor of Tianshui Yixin Building is densely packed with 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.

Sun Hewu obviously did not come here for the first time. With a clear goal, he went straight to a certain bookshelf, used the jade card in his hand to unlock the restriction on the bookshelf, took out a box of books, and was delighted after confirming that it was correct.

Not far away, there were even borrowing records from the past. All the names on them were powerful people. Sun Hewu added his own name to the record and put the book directly into the Xumi object.

Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei came in for the first time, and they were dazzled. Then Qi Xuansu also thought of a question. Sun Hewu came in to get the book, so why did he follow in? Just to see the collection of books here?

Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu looked up.

As expected, there was a dragon lurking on it, at least at the realm of pseudo-immortal cultivation. If it was let go, in the absence of the Grand Master of the Palace, I am afraid that no one in the huge Wanxiang Dao Palace would be its opponent.

Yao Pei's eyes looked directly at the staircase, where there was also a Tai Chi Bagua seal mark, emitting a faint light.

Although Yao Pei's face was expressionless, looking at this posture, it was clear that he was curious.

No, after practicing the "Taishang Wangqing Sutra", one should not be troubled by curiosity. In other words, Yao Pei had a purpose. With her well-informed information, it is impossible for her not to know what is sealed on the third floor.

At this time, Yao Pei asked softly: "Qi Daoyou, do you want to go to the third floor to see it?"

Qi Xuansu shook his head without thinking and said: "No."

Yao Pei raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, which were far less beautiful than Zhang Yuelu's, and stared at Qi Xuansu coldly.

At this moment, Yao Pei was no longer like someone who had not woken up. His eyes were still calm, but no longer stagnant, but a quiet lake.

Yao Pei was constrained by the various drawbacks of the "Taishang Wangqing Sutra", but at this time he entered a brief "awake" moment, like a three-foot-long sword out of its sheath, revealing its sharp edge.
