Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu opened the ban with the jade sign and entered the alley.

There is nothing special about the alley, but it is extremely long and narrow. It can be seen that the nine libraries with unique caves inside are not ordinary pavilion buildings, and are very large in size.

Coming out of the alley, nine libraries form a patio. In the middle of the patio is a sparkling small lake. In the center of the lake is an island in the middle of the lake. There is a three-story pavilion on the island, which is symmetrical with the reflection in the lake. The sky and water are in the center. This is where the building got its name.

Qi Xuansu kept walking and walked straight towards the island in the middle of the lake.

There is an invisible bridge on the lake that cannot be seen with the naked eye. As long as you exit the alley and walk straight ahead, you can reach the bridge smoothly.

After crossing the bridge, we walked around for a while and came to the main entrance. When we looked up, we could see a plaque with the words "The best is like water", which is full of artistic conception.

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

Qi Xuansu waved the jade sign in his hand, opened the restriction, and pushed the door open.

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

There was a borrowing record not far away, and the names on it were all high-ranking and powerful people. Qi Xuansu took a look and saw that the last name was indeed Sun Hewu.

Qi Xuansu remembered something. Yao Pei said that Master Shi Dazhen was an extremely upright person who valued rules. Master Shi Dazhen had the right to go to the third floor, but he would not go in because it was not necessary. Master Shi Da is not the chief master, nor is he the assistant manager of Zixiao Palace. He has no authority to deal with prisoners, and he is not a jailer. He does not need to check the conditions of prisoners. What is he doing on the third floor? So the master in charge of the palace must not know what happened on the third floor.

Qi Xuansu was a little suspicious at that time.

Theoretically speaking, the Master Palm Palace doesn't know about this, but that's just in theory. No one can guarantee that the Master Palm Palace won't go in and take a look on a whim.

Yao Pei's answer was: "There is never anything foolproof 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. It was true that the master in charge of the palace would not go to the third floor in theory. In fact, he not only went, but also found out the whole matter.

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

In fact, Master Shi Da has already hinted at this matter.

Because the incident of "Master Heren of Jianxiu Mountain" happened when the two of them visited Tianshui Yixin Tower at night. Logically speaking, only Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei knew about it, and no third person knew about it, not even Zhang Yuelu. Know. Because this is not a glorious thing, Qi Xuansu cannot go around publicizing that he got the wrong word, and Yao Pei's temperament is not a talkative person.

As a result, Master Shi Da not only knew about this, but also asked Qi Xuansu to study harder.

So how did Master Shi Da know?

There are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that there are things like "Demon Eye" and "Photography Stone" in Tianshui Yixin Building, which recorded what happened at that time. Later, when Shi Daren checked the photos, he learned about it.

Another possibility is that Master Shi Da has already talked to Yao Pei after finding out about this matter, and Yao Pei did everything, including this matter.

Although Shi Daren had already hinted at Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu was surrounded by the emotion called "embarrassment" at the time and did not realize it. Later, Qi Xuansu took the initiative to mention Tianshui Yixinlou. Master Shi Da felt that it was impossible not to click on it. Otherwise, Qi Xuansu would have pretended that he didn't know about it. However, considering that Qi Xuansu was his own child, he finally agreed to this request, which was not very reasonable. .

In fact, the elders have a mentality. They do not resent the younger generations asking for help from them, and even like it very much, because this can not only highlight the presence of the word "elder", but also make them appear close. If they do not ask for anything from others, they will appear Alienated.

Qi Xuansu didn't get too entangled. He was an accessory in this matter. If the sky fell, it would be Yao Pei who was on top. With his current status, he would not be allowed to take the blame for Yao Pei.

Qi Xuansu means "ye did it", and the word "ye" is very important.

As for why Shi Daren didn't open the Tianshui Yixin Tower even after he had transferred Long Nu, it was probably because he had formed a dependency over the years.

It has been closed for many years, so there is no need to assign anyone to manage it, which is very trouble-free. Now reopening means a series of things. It is necessary to arrange a special Jinzi instructor or deputy assistant to be in charge of this place. It is necessary to support various guards and maintenance people, and it is necessary to establish a review mechanism to determine who can come and who cannot. Come on, it's not just a matter of opening the door, it's very troublesome.

It's better to keep things as usual, it won't affect anything anyway. Or wait until the Seventh Generation Master takes over and needs some new atmosphere, then restart it, which means a good thing.

Nothing is meritorious.

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

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

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

The second floor of Tianshui Yixin Building is not smaller than the first floor, but there are many fewer bookshelves, so it looks empty. It is conceivable that the quality of these books is still above the first floor.

In addition, there are tables and chairs placed in many window positions, but these windows are all closed. If you get close, the Tai Chi Bagua seal logo 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 is the culprit of the "Master of Jianxiu Mountain" incident. If it weren't 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 giant puppet's eyes 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 underworlds. The object is at the same level as "Emperor Shitian".

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 ancient witchcraft is recorded here, and it is also the witchcraft’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 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."
