Chapter 16 Shanyuan Library Pavilion

In the Taoist Academy.

The three Taoist boys who were waiting were bored. They chatted with each other and whispered:

"How long will it take for the test? If you haven't come out after work, isn't it a waste of time for us to go today?"

"That guy didn't lie just now? Has he really stepped into the path?"

The Taoist boys were chatting, very curious about the things behind the lobby, and wanted to go over to have a look again, but they didn't dare, for fear of offending others.

To their surprise, they didn't struggle for long, and there were footsteps coming from the depths of the lobby.

The Taoist boys looked up and found that it was Yu Lie and Si Yuyan who came out. They were all surprised: "How long has it been? You don't even have a hundred breaths of effort."

Involuntarily, various guesses arose in the hearts of the three Taoist boys:
"Could it be that the man is lying, is he trying to get away with it? Or he just gave up the test..."

But at the next moment, several Taoist boys were keenly aware that the expression of the old Taoist was quite different from when he just entered.

Before entering, the old Taoist had an extremely bored look on his face, and looked down on everyone in the hall, but now the old Taoist has a smile on his face, with a lot of folds, shaped like an old chrysanthemum.

A word emerged in the hearts of several Taoist boys: "Fawning!"

Their eyes moved away from the old Taoist body and placed on Yu Lie's body, and their eyes were dazed.

They all understood that Yu Lie must have done something terrible in the hall, which made the old man change his attitude!

On the other side, the old dead fish eye followed Yu Lie's footsteps and said with a smile:
"How? The Taoist robes in the Taoist Academy are all bought by me as an old Taoist. I will never cut corners. Can you wear it properly?"

Yu Lie touched the newly changed robe, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The Taoist Academy is quite generous to the promoted Taoist boy, and has prepared brand new Taoist robes in advance.The robe was also different from the last Taoist robe, which was all gray. The robe of the lower Taoist boy was embroidered with two silver lines, showing that the wearer had already transformed into a second person.

"Okay." Yu Lie said reservedly to the old Taoist: "Thank you for your care, fellow daoist."

The dead fish eye old man hurriedly said again: "By the way, please come with me, fellow daoist, and I will give you the title plate of Dan Fang."

After finishing speaking, the old dead fish eye came to the back of the counter where the visitors were received, bowed his body, pouted his buttocks, and searched for a long time.

He took out a wooden box, and then took out a dark green bronze medal from it.

The old Taoist took it with both hands and presented it to Yu Lie.

When Yu Lie saw the sign, a smile appeared on his face. He smiled and gave the old Taoist a nod, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist. Today is a good fate, and the poor Taoist will remember it."

When the dead fish eye old Taoist heard it, the smile on his face became even brighter, and he said politely: "Where is it! We are all friends. If fellow Taoists are free, just come and drink tea with the old Taoist."

"There is a teahouse on the West Street. The old Taoist often goes there to taste and have fun. Fellow Taoists can also find me when the time comes."

The whole process of the conversation between the two was seen by the three Taoist boys next to them.

The three Taoist boys were stunned for a moment, especially when they stared at the dark green bronze medal in Yu Lie's hand, their eyes were straight!

It turned out that it was right behind the hall, after Yu Lie passed the four checkpoints in one go, in order to apologize and please Yu Lie, the dead fish eye old man took the initiative to inform Yu Lie of his name, and also took out some positions at the bottom of the box , free for the remaining columns to choose from.

Yu Lie was pleasantly surprised by this, and he was not polite to the other party. He directly chose a position in the alchemy room, communicated his name with the other party, and recorded the other party's help.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Yu Lie still needed to go to Zangshu Pavilion to get the exercises, so he didn't stay long.

He asked the old Taoist if there were any other procedures that needed to be done, and after getting a negative reply, he bowed to each other to say goodbye, and walked calmly outside the Daoluyuan.

Until the figure of Yu Lie disappeared at the door, the eyes of the three Xiaodao boys lined up were still in a daze.

One of them muttered: "Didn't you just say that you can't buy the position of Dan Fang if you have money... Why don't you even need money now."

Siyuyan old Taoist still had a smile on his face. When he heard the discussion of the Taoist boys in the hall, he restrained his smile and put on a businesslike numbness:

"Tell me if there is something to do, if there is nothing to do, the old man will get off work."

When the three Taoist boys heard this, they quickly woke up from their mutterings. They stood in front of the stage, becoming cautious again, and looked flatteringly at the old Taoist on the stage.

The old Taoist hummed softly while dismissing these Taoist boys:
"Cultivation is not only about fighting and killing, but also about people's understanding of the world. As an old Taoist, I am weak and weak, but I can still stay in this Dao Luyuan because of this kind of heart."

"Second and third sons, there is no harm in forming more good relationships."

When the Taoist boys heard this, they nodded quickly, not daring to refute.

It's just that they saw the changes in the old Taoist's arrogance and respect, and they felt like a fire was burning in their hearts, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

Several people wished they could replace Yu Lie, so that the old Taoist could also flatter them and offer them benefits!

………………

Yu Lie left the Taoist Academy and hurried all the way to Zangshu Pavilion.

The sky was getting darker and darker. He didn't expect that Daoluyuan's party would go well, so he planned to make persistent efforts and go to the Library Pavilion to get the exercises, so as not to come back tomorrow.

Because when night falls, the Library Pavilion will be closed in time, and those who violate the rules and trespassers will be killed!

Not long after, Yu Lie came to a stone building.

Although the Zangshu Pavilion is called an attic, its entire body is made of stone, and it is not an ordinary black stone. There is a mercury-like silver glow on the surface, and a formation may be arranged.

In front of the stone building, there are two crane-shaped stone sculptures with long legs and long necks, full of fine teeth.

There are five floors in Zangshu Pavilion. Although Yu Lie has never been to this place, he is quite familiar with it.

Among them, the first three layers are placed with the lower, middle, and upper three grades of exercises, all of which are Daoyin techniques for cultivating in the realm of Taoists; the fourth layer is for cultivation exercises in the realm of Taoists; It is said that the spells of Taoist officials are the private library of the master of Heishui.

The Lord of Heishui, that is, the mayor of Heishui Town, he opened up the whole town, and is currently the only resident seventh-rank Taoist official in Heishui Town.

When Yu Lie came to the stone building, a ball of fire appeared in his eyes.

Compared with a lucrative position, the following cultivation method will undoubtedly excite the cultivators more, because although the former is important, it is a way to survive, but the latter is more important, it is the foundation of life!
Yu Lie didn't delay, he took out the talisman money he had just fished out in the Daoluyuan from his pocket, cupped his hands at the crane-shaped stone sculpture in front of the stone building, and offered a talisman money.

The motionless crane-shaped stone sculpture slowly twisted its neck and looked at Yu Lie.

In Yu Lie's blink of an eye, the red talisman money in his hand disappeared, and he didn't even react.

The stone crane on the opposite side held the talisman money in its mouth, and as soon as the bird's beak was cut, it easily bit the talisman money into pieces and swallowed it into its stomach.

Looking at this scene, Yu Lie was stunned for a while, and took a breath of cool air.

If Shi He had just pecked at his head, no matter whether he was not afraid of swords or could resist oil and fire in Daoluyuan, he would have his brains cracked and his brains sucked.

So Yu Lie bowed slightly again, and the sense of pride that had just risen in his heart disappeared without a trace.

Although he has completed the transformation like a wolf and a tiger, and his foundation is so solid that it is impressive, he is still just a little Taoist boy, and he is still in the lower ranks, not even the middle ranks or the upper ranks.

Just a stone sculpture at the gate in front of the bookstore can easily kill him.

Yu Lie's expression froze, he grabbed the remaining talisman money in his hand, and walked quickly to the attic, feeling both horrified and hot in his heart.

In the building, there is a Daoshu technique that can make him stronger again!
