Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 226

There are really "books" in the library of Yuntai Peak. There are bamboo slips, cloth and silk, and silk.This is easy to understand, Taoists all emphasize that the Dharma should not be passed on lightly, and they pay the most attention to their own inheritance. Compared with those old and stubborn, Lou Guan Taoist Master who taught the Dharma to the casual cultivators can be regarded as "very enlightened".

But this is not to say that Taoism monopolizes knowledge and cherishes itself.In fact, only housekeeping skills and practice skills are the secrets of the inner sect, but the inheritance of knowledge of the traditional five arts of alchemy, refining, divination, array, and spells, the various sects often communicate with each other and jointly deduce of.

After all, if each sect speaks its own way according to its own skills, and there is no unified academic 'standard' to distinguish the good from the bad, how can we judge who is the winner of the Taoism when competing for the Xuannv Tianshu?

Yes, the Xuanmen Tianshu Conference is an academic seminar, not the world's number one martial arts conference. If everyone fought with swords and swords to grab books by force, wouldn't everyone in Xuanmen commit suicide long ago?
Beichen Sword Sect has never used force to snatch books, and even in a sense, the Jiuyin Mountain lineage, as the responsibility of the Xuanmen's force, was originally responsible for protecting the heavenly books and the order of the Xuanmen.Just because the most capable sword sect guards the heavenly book, the Taoist sects can abandon the idea of ​​stealing books, and everyone sits down on Jiuyin Mountain to discuss Taoism.

This is the source of the grievance that the God Lord broke the rules and snatched the heavenly book, and Beichen Jianzong must take the book back.

In short, it originated from the Dao Discussion Conference for the Xuannv Tianshu. After the popularization and promotion of Taoism, it has become the tradition of Taoism today. Unified Examination.

The unified examination sponsored by the Nine Great Taoists is divided into three levels: high-level, master, and grand master.Participants must at least be in the realm of real people, and those who pass the exam will be given the title officially certified by Taoism.For example, those who have passed the advanced test of alchemy can be called alchemists, those who have passed the master test can be called alchemists, and those who have passed the master test can be called alchemy masters.Only those who have the qualifications of a master can participate in the discussion of the Heavenly Book.And in the Heavenly Book Discussion Conference, the winner who surpasses all heroes in skill and can comprehend the Heavenly Book is the so-called great master.

Generally speaking, the life pursuit of every orthodox Taoist disciple is first to comprehend the heavenly scriptures, to become a great master, and then to become the head of the sect.

Therefore, the unified examination of Taoism has always been the most important thing. Even starting from the selection of inner disciples from the outer sect, each sect of Taoism also holds its own "high school entrance examination". Basic knowledge, you can only get started after passing the high school entrance examination.

For a top school like Emei, one Golden Elixir alone is not enough. They even have to pass three of the five subjects in Emei's internal high school entrance examination before they can be accepted as inner disciples. Moreover, Emei's high school entrance examination is notoriously difficult, and many of them are masters. Write the questions by yourself, some masters are stricter, and even have to pass five exams before accepting apprentices.But even so, there are still as many Jindan monks who apply for Emei in the outer sect as crucian carp crossing the river, after all, the number one sect of Taoism.

Similarly, to become a core disciple of Taoism, it is not enough to achieve Yuanying alone, and at least one of the five arts college entrance examinations must pass the high-level one.Moreover, some top sects have their own indicators. For example, Emei's preaching disciples generally have to pass three high-level exams before they can enter the room. Those who are candidates for training as masters have the lowest standard of 'cultivating all five arts'.

And if the five arts are not cultivated, then even if you are a Nascent Soul, you can only be an elder of the outer sect Keqing, and you will not be able to participate in the core management of the sect, and you will not be able to learn some of the top secrets of the inner sect. I realized that it is far from being qualified to read the heavenly scriptures.Just like some people, that jellyfish head, ahem, right?

Keke pull away and pull back.

Yuntai Peak Library Pavilion contains a large amount of basic knowledge of the five arts, which is specially for monks of various sects of Taoism to study. There are also various latest versions of the question bank for monks who are preparing for the unified examination. After all, they will definitely not be able to keep up behind closed doors In this era, even the most stubborn and conservative old man has to visit Zangshu Pavilion from time to time to keep up with the most cutting-edge technology of Wuyi.

The main task of these boys in Yuntai Peak is to copy and transcribe the daily academic research and experimental reports of this master or that master, and store them in the Library Pavilion for the monks of various sects of Taoism to borrow and study.Some popular papers have a lot of borrowers, and if they have been borrowed for decades, it is necessary to extract a few extra copies.Copying such a biography of the Five Arts Classics also requires matching knowledge, so Yuntai Peak can only be done by formal boys, and apprentices like Jiagui first copy some simple geographical figures, and encyclopedias of spirit beasts and herbs. of.

"How the hell can I live here..." Li Fan looked at the dazzling array of books and his eyes were dazzled.

"The primordial spirit should not be out of the body for too long, real person, you can go and see for yourself, and register and borrow the ones you like in the yellow book next to the shelf, which is the same as in the treasury, the books will be sent directly to your treasury, go back Just take it from the storage jade." Jia Gui first dug out his private work and registered it for Li Fan.

"Where do you look at these Beichen Jianzong's private affairs... Huh?" Li Fan took a white prostitute, only to turn over two pages, but found that his hand passed directly through the book, and the book returned to its original position .

Jia Gui squinted at Li Fan, "Oh, I almost forgot, there are forbidden books in this library, you can only read the catalog, and you will have to spend money later. This is also to avoid being stolen and damaged. After all, some people Excellent aptitude, ten lines at a glance, photographic memory, just looking at it but not borrowing..."

I wipe!Are there so many whores?There are corresponding mechanisms!Too much cough cough cough!

I have to say that the upper echelons of the Nine Daxuanmen still have their own way. Although the various factions are not convinced and compete with each other, they will be linked together by the existence of Yuntaifeng's collection of books and the bank, and they can work together to fight against each other when necessary. Enemy, safeguarding the interests of the Taoist collective is really not to be underestimated.

Li Fan walked up and down the bookshelves, but he was not in a hurry to choose books to borrow. After all, Xuantian Tiedan had already pointed out his path of practice very clearly. There are many other distractions, mainly to find Du Xia.Du Xia, the tool spirit, is probably in the refining tool collection area.

Sure enough, Li Fan quickly sensed the other party's existence. At this time, Du Xia was no longer the maid she met Li Fan at the beginning, but turned her spirit body into an old-fashioned disguise, but this kind of disguise could not be hidden from Li Fan's upgrade. Those who have been in contact with the mind-observing and discerning mind can feel it immediately through the mind-observing method.

But Du Xia is not alone now, she is walking out with a scholar whose face is covered by a layer of mist.That scholar has the Nascent Soul Realm, so he should not be a sheep born.And judging from the other party's demeanor and demeanor, as well as the appearance of Du Xia in the transformation stage, walking behind him with her head bowed like a real maid, I'm afraid this is a high-ranking member of the family, and there seem to be ghosts around him Beings like spirits are protected by invisibility.

Li Fan's heart tightened, knowing that the other party was probably from the Tai Tuo's side, and through the method of mental observation, he also vaguely felt that he had met this person somewhere before, but for some reason he couldn't remember it.She didn't say anything, pretended not to recognize Du Xia, brushed past them, and swaggered towards the library area.

Unexpectedly, after Du Xia and the scholar passed by Li Fan, they stopped in their tracks.As if looking back at him.

Li Fan pretended to be studying the borrowed classics on the bookshelf, fully alert in his heart.It's a bit troublesome. When he went to rescue the sheep on the flower boat, he used the appearance of Li Yaoshi. Du Xia must have recognized him now.Could it be that this guy wants to take advantage of Tai Tu's subordinates here to kill people with a knife?
He really doesn't have enough combat experience in Yuanshen state. If he uses his hands, he is not sure how powerful those moves are, not to mention that there are hundreds of guards in the Central Guard Army. It's better to fight and go, and find a way to escape back to Xinglin to revive...

"Isn't this Li Daoyou?"

Li Fan's hand that was stretching towards the shelf froze.

But it was not Du Xia who spoke, but the scribe, and the other party only made a single sound, which Li Fan also recognized.

It was that gloomy guy who came to snatch the princess that day and peeped in the dark!
"It's you..." Li Fan squinted his eyes and turned back slowly, looking at the four silhouettes looming beside the scribe, and if Du Xia was added, the number would be five, and the five were at least the spirits of the transformation stage!Wow, is this the strength of the Tai Tuo family!Can't afford to provoke...

Fortunately, the scribe didn't just wave his hand and "beat him!" Instead, he cupped his hands at Li Fan, "North Star Sword Sect Li Pharmacist, right? It's a pleasure to meet you."

Li Fan frowned, what do you mean?This guy looks like this... Do you want to talk?
The scribe waved his hand, "I'll catch up with this fellow Daoist Li."

As a result, Du Xia and the other artifact spirits all dispersed, guarding the surroundings so that no one could approach them.

What's also strange to Li Fan is that Du Xia also acted as if she didn't recognize her. What's going on...

"Well, Beichen Sword Sect, Nanhai Epiphyllum Island, Luofeng Immortal Palace, Li Daoyou has many disguises, I don't know which one is your real body?" The scribe is quite confident, since he saw it in the dark Li Fan is so powerful that he dared to push back the guards and talk face-to-face like this, it seems that he has something to rely on.

Li Fan said coldly, "You have reported me so many heels, why don't you also report your own family, so that everyone can call each other?"

The scribe smiled, "It's easy to say, under Zhang Chongyang, there are thousands of households under the command of the Central Guard Army."

Li Fan also laughed, "A thousand households under the command of the Central Guard Army have so many Huashen serving them?"

Zhang Chongyang chuckled, "It's just four or five artifacts. If Li Daoyou intends to join my imperial guards, why would you be reluctant?"

"Hehe," Li Fan smiled, and then he couldn't laugh anymore because the other party seemed to be serious, "Zhang Qianhu is recruiting me?"

Zhang Chongyang also nodded earnestly, "I've met a lot of people. There are not many people in this world who have the ability of Li Daoyou. A sharp sword like yours should not be hidden among the people. It is a shame to fight for a mere one hundred thousand gold. Since you want to If you want to make money with your skills, wouldn't it be better for Mingzhu to serve the hero who is willing to bid?"

Li Fan was speechless for a while, and looked at the other party suspiciously, "Aren't you really avenging your dead soldiers?"

Zhang Chongyang smiled and said, "Brother Li also said that since they are dead men who sacrificed their lives, why should we avenge them? I always think that everyone has a price, as long as the price is enough, everyone can serve for others. Not afraid of death. Don't you think so?"

Li Fan thought for a while, and suddenly understood, "Those people under Qianhu were originally useful, so let me kill them all. Now you have no one under your command, right?"

He said so directly, Zhang Chongyang couldn't help but froze for a moment, but he said calmly, "That's right. Brother Li has seen it thoroughly. Now I do have an urgent matter, and I need a good sword to do it, but I don't have so many in a hurry." The available manpower is transferred to Xun Kingdom, I wonder if Brother Li can help me."

Li Fan understood, "So that's how it is. I sent myself to your territory. You didn't kill me immediately because I was still useful to you. If I don't agree, it's useless. You can't kill me any more." Late, isn't it?"

Zhang Chongyang was noncommittal, "You don't need to be so vigilant, Li Daoyou, listen to my mission and reward, maybe you will agree?"

Li Fan couldn't help laughing, "I doubt you can offer any reward that is worthy of my heart. It's fine, anyway, if you don't listen to it, you have to listen to it. Tell me and stop ink staining."

So Zhang Chongyang stroked his beard, thought for a while and said, "It's very simple, it's Li Daoyou's old job. I want you to tie someone up for me. Lord Xun, Sun Zhonghu."

"...You asked me to go into Huju City and assassinate the tiger?" Li Fan rolled his eyes, "Are you kidding me? Come on, let's go straight to the fight."

But Zhang Chongyang was obviously not joking, and continued, "Coincidentally, I heard that three days later, the Lord of Xun Kingdom will go out to hunt tigers. This is the time for Brother Li to act. Bind Lord Xun and hand it over to my people, and your mission will be completed."

Li Fan frowned, "...do you want to save Lord Xun? Just tell him there is a mutiny and it's over? Why bother to tie him up..."

Zhang Chongyang chuckled, "No matter what is planned in this world, there will always be variables, but if I am the one who assassinates, the one who rescues, and the one who kidnaps. Then everything is under control , are you ready? In short, as long as this matter is done, I can give you three rewards, and you can choose one of them."

Then he raised his index finger, "First, Captain of the Honored Cavalry, Captain of the Forbidden Army, choose five magical treasures of the God Realm, and reward them with a reward of [-] yuan."

Before Li Fan was shocked, Zhang Chongyang raised his second finger, "Secondly, Sanyuan issued an order to announce to the world that he would pardon the Immortal Luo Feng's army and avenge the injustice of the Immortal King Luo Feng."

Li Fan's open jaw closed, and his brows furrowed.

Then Zhang Chongyang raised his third finger, "Thirdly, the Taifu Mansion personally came forward to help fellow Taoists revive the Beichen Sword Sect."

Li Fan thought for a while, "Okay, I agree...do you believe it?"

Zhang Chongyang smiled, raised his hands and said, "Why don't you believe me, I will send the detailed arrangement to the treasury of fellow Taoists, and you can check it yourself after you come back to life. Of course, you can also report to the official with the actual evidence, and see Lord Xun, would you like to reward you with one hundred thousand dollars? But my reward is also clearly stated to you, and it is tied to the person Sun Zhonghu handed it to me. You can choose one of the three rewards just mentioned.

By the way, I have to remind you that the lord of a country cannot assassinate at will without some preparation. You don't have the karma to assassinate a tiger, and you will only get yourself into trouble if you do it rashly.Although it is alive or dead, it is the same for me. "

He turned around and took two steps, then turned his head and smiled at Li Fan, "Brother Li, I appreciate your sword skills, but if you want to get something, you can't just talk about it without practicing it.

You have the ability to be famous all over the world. If you can seize the opportunity, make some achievements, and show your real skills, maybe I can recommend you to the Taifu.Hehehe, hehehehe..."

With a sullen face, Li Fan let the guy who hides his head and shows his tail laugh sullenly, and left with his five bodyguards and hundreds of immortal palace gods who had secretly gathered around the Zangshu Pavilion just now.

Is this girl really just a thousand households...
