The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Daozu is Cthulhu Chapter 226 Library Pavilion

The library in Yuntai Peak is really full of books; there are bamboo slips, cloth and silk, and the most common ones are paper books, but there is not even a single jade slip that teaches martial arts. . This is easy to understand. Those in the Xuanmen lineage emphasize that the Dharma should not be passed on lightly, and they pay the most attention to their own inheritance. Compared with those old stubborns, the master of Lou Guan Taoist Temple is considered to be 'very enlightened' in imparting the Dharma to various sects of casual cultivators.

But this does not mean that Taoism has a monopoly on knowledge and only cherishes it. In fact, only the special skills and cultivation techniques are secretly passed down by the inner sect, but the knowledge and inheritance of the traditional five arts such as alchemy, weapon refining, divination, formations, and spells are often communicated with each other and jointly performed by various sects. of.

After all, if each sect makes its own claims based on its own practice, and there is no unified academic 'standard' that can distinguish the good from the bad, how can we determine who is the winner of the Tao discussion when competing for the Xuannv Heavenly Book?

Yes, Xuanmen's Heavenly Book Conference is an academic seminar, not the world's best martial arts conference. If everyone were to fight with swords and grab books with ceremony, wouldn't it mean that all the people in Xuanmen would have committed suicide long ago?

Beichen Sword Sect has never relied on force to snatch books. In a sense, the Jiuyin Mountain lineage, as the force responsible for Xuanmen, originally had the important task of guarding the Book of Heaven and the order of Xuanmen. Just because the most capable swordsman guarded the Heavenly Book, the Xuanmen sects could give up the idea of ​​robbing books and stealing books, and everyone sat down at Jiuyin Mountain to discuss the Tao.

This was the source of the grudges that led to the God Master breaking the rules and snatching the Heavenly Book, and Beichen Sword Sect must take the book back.

In short, it originated from the Dao discussion conference for the Xuannv Heavenly Book. After the popularization and promotion of Xuanmen, it has become the tradition of Xuanmen today. The favorite of the elders and the most feared of the disciples is the "Unified Examination of the Comprehensive Five Arts of Xuanmen", referred to as , unified examination.

The unified examination sponsored by the Nine Daomen is divided into three levels: high-level, master, and grandmaster. Participants must at least be in the realm of real people, and those who pass the exam will receive the title officially certified by Taoism on their ultimatum. For example, those who have passed the advanced alchemy exam can be called alchemists, those who have passed the master exam can be called alchemists, and those who have passed the master exam can be called alchemists. Only those who have reached the qualifications of a master can participate in the discussion of the Book of Heaven. In the Heavenly Book Discussion Conference, the winner who surpasses the other heroes in skills and can comprehend the Heavenly Book is the so-called Grand Master.

Generally speaking, the life pursuit of every serious Taoist disciple is to first understand the heavenly book and become a great master, and then to become a master or something.

Therefore, the Taoist sect's unified examination has always been a top priority. Even starting from the selection of inner sect disciples from the outer sect, each Taoist sect has its own "high school entrance examination"; qualifications and cultivation alone are not enough, you must have the qualifications. You must have matching basic knowledge and pass the high school entrance examination to get started.

For a top sect like Emei, just one golden elixir is not enough. They even have to pass three of the five internal high school entrance examinations in Emei before they can be accepted as inner sect disciples. Moreover, Emei's high school entrance examination is also notoriously difficult, and many of them are masters. Make up your own questions. Some masters are more strict and even require you to pass five exams before accepting a disciple. But even so, there are still as many golden elixir monks who apply for the Emei examination as crucian carp crossing the river. After all, it is the largest sect of Xuanmen.

Similarly, to become a core disciple of Xuanmen, it is not enough to achieve Nascent Soul. You must also pass the college entrance examination of at least one of the five arts to reach a high level. Moreover, some top sects have their own indicators. For example, the disciples of Emei's teachings generally need to pass high-level examinations in three subjects before they can enter the sect. Those who are trained as candidates for the head, "cultivate all five arts"; these are the lowest standards. .

And if the Five Arts are not cultivated, then even if you are Yuanying, in the state of becoming a god, you can only be an elder of the outer sect, unable to participate in the core management of the sect, and you can also learn some of the top secret techniques of the inner sect. No, if you want to read the Book of Heaven, you are far from qualified. Just like some people, that jellyfish head, ahem, right.

Ahem, pull it away and bring it back.

The Yuntai Peak Library contains a large amount of basic knowledge of the Five Arts, specifically for monks from various Taoist sects to study, as well as various latest versions of question banks for monks preparing for the unified examination. After all, working behind closed doors will definitely not keep up. In this era, even the most stubborn and conservative old man has to visit the library from time to time to keep up with the most cutting-edge technology of the five arts.

The main task of these boys at Yuntai Peak is to excerpt, copy and preserve the daily academic research and experimental reports of this master and that master, and store them in the library for monks from various Taoist sects to borrow and study. Some popular papers are borrowed by many people and last for decades, so you will need to make a few extra copies. Copying the Five Arts Classics also requires corresponding knowledge, so only formal boys in Yuntai Peak can do this. As for apprentices like Jiagui, they first copy some simple geographical records, and encyclopedias of spiritual beasts and herbs. of.

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

"The soul cannot be out of the body for too long. You can read it yourself, real person. If you like it, register it in the yellow book next to the shelf. It is the same as in the treasury. The books will be sent directly to your treasury. Let's go back. Just take it from the storage jade." Jiagui first dug out his personal information and registered it for Li Fan.

"Where do you read these private affairs of the Beichen Sword Sect... Huh?" Li Fan picked up a book and turned two pages, only to find that his hand passed directly through the book and the book returned to its original position. .

Jiagui squinted at Li Fan, "Oh, I almost forgot. There are restrictions in this library. You can only look at the catalog, and you will have to spend money later. This is to avoid being stolen and damaged. After all, there are some people who cheat. He has excellent qualifications, he can read ten lines at a time, he has a photographic memory, and he can't borrow anything just by looking at it..."

I wipe it! Are there so many guys who are prostitutes for free? There are corresponding mechanisms! It's too much, cough cough cough!

It has to be said that the upper echelons of the Nine Mysterious Sects are pretty good at it. Although the factions are not convinced by each other and compete with each other, they are connected by the existence of Yuntai Peak's collection of books and the bank, and they can work together to deal with it when necessary. Enemies, safeguarding the collective interests of Xuanmen, cannot be underestimated.

Li Fan walked around the bookshelf, but was not in a hurry to choose books to borrow. After all, Xuantian Tiedan had already pointed out his cultivation path very clearly. He had to learn arithmetic for a hundred years first, so there was no need to read it this time. There are too many other distractions, mainly for Du Xia. Du Xia, the weapon spirit, is most likely in the weapon refining and book collection area.

Sure enough, Li Fan soon sensed the existence of the other party. At this time, Du Xia did not look like the maid she had met Li Fan before. Instead, she turned her spirit body into a disguise of an old woman. However, this disguise could not hide Li Fan's upgraded appearance. He who knows the art of heart observation and discernment, and has already been in contact with the soul, can feel it right away through the method of heart observation.

But Du Xia is not alone now. She is walking out with a scholar whose face is shrouded in a layer of mist. That scholar has the realm of Nascent Soul, so he should not be born as a sheep. And judging from the other party's demeanor and demeanor, as well as the way Du Xia, who is in the transformation stage, walks behind him with her head bowed like a real maid, I am afraid that this is a member of a high-ranking family, and there seem to be ghost weapons around him Beings like spirits are invisible and protected.

Li Fan's heart tightened, knowing that the other person was probably from Taifu's side, and through the method of mental observation, he vaguely felt that he had met this person somewhere before, but for some reason he couldn't remember it. She didn't say anything, pretending not to recognize Du Xia, passed them by, and walked to the library area in a swagger.

Unexpectedly, Du Xia and the scholar stopped after passing by Li Fan. He seemed to be turning around to look at him.

Li Fan pretended to study the classics on the bookshelf and borrowed books, feeling fully alert. It's a bit troublesome. When he went to save Yang Sheng on the flower boat, he used the appearance of Li Yaoshi. Du Xia must have recognized it now. Could it be that this guy wants to take advantage of Taifu's men here to ****?

He does not have enough fighting experience in the state of Yuan Shen. If he uses his hands, he is not sure how powerful those moves will be. Moreover, there are hundreds of guards in the Central Guard Army. Xuanmen will also take action against him if things go wrong. It’s better to fight and run away, find a way to escape back to Xinglin and resurrect...

"Isn't this Fellow Daoist Li?"

Li Fan's hand that was reaching for the shelf froze.

But it was not Du Xia who spoke, but the scribe, and the other person only made one sound, and Li Fan heard it.

It was the sinister guy who came to rob the princess that day and peeped in the dark!

"It's you..." Li Fan narrowed his eyes and slowly turned back, looking at the four silhouettes that were vaguely silhouetted beside the scribe. If you add Du Xia's words, there would be five, and the five should be at least the spirit of the gods! Wow, is this the strength of the Taifu family! Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend...

Fortunately, the scribe didn't directly wave his hand and said, "Kill him!" Instead, he raised his hand to Li Fan and said, "Beichen Sword Sect Li Yaoshi? Nice to meet you, right?"

Li Fan frowned, what do you mean? This guy is like this...does he want to talk?

The scribe waved his hand and said, "I am catching up with this fellow Taoist Li."

So all the artifact spirits, including Du Xia, dispersed and guarded the surroundings to prevent others from approaching.

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

"Well, there are so many disguises for Beichen Sword Sect, Nanhai Epiphyllum Island, Luo Feng Immortal Palace, and fellow Daoist Li. I wonder which one is your true identity?" The scribe is quite confident, since he saw it while hiding in the dark. Li Fan is so powerful that he dares to reject the guards and talk face to face like this. It seems that he has something to rely on.

Li Fan said coldly, "You have given me so many followers, why not also give me a family name so that everyone can call each other."

The scribe smiled and said, "It's easy to say. I am Zhang Chongyang, who has 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 transformed gods to serve them?"

Zhang Chongyang laughed and said, "It's just four or five artifacts. If Fellow Daoist Li intends to join our Imperial Guard, why would he be reluctant to part with it?"

"Haha," Li Fan smiled, but then he stopped laughing because the other party seemed to be serious, "Is Zhang Qianhu recruiting me?"

Zhang Chongyang also nodded seriously, "I've met a lot of people. Not many people in this world have the ability of fellow Taoist Li. A sharp sword like yours shouldn't be hidden among the people. Fighting for a mere 100,000 gold is really an inferiority complex. Since you want to If you want to make money based on your ability, wouldn't it be better if the pearl is given to the British master who is willing to pay the price?"

Li Fan was speechless for a moment and looked at the other person suspiciously, "Are you really not avenging your dead soldiers?"

Zhang Chongyang smiled and said, "Brother Li also said, since you are a dead soldier who sacrificed your life, why do you need to avenge them? I have always felt that everyone has a price, and as long as the price is enough, everyone can serve for others. Brave and unafraid of death. Don’t you think so?"

Li Fan thought about it and suddenly understood, "Those people under Qian Hu were useful, so I asked me to kill them all. Now you have no one to do anything, right?"

He said it so directly that Zhang Chongyang couldn't help but stiffen 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 that much in a hurry. The available manpower will be transferred to the Xun Kingdom, I wonder if Brother Li can help me."

Li Fan understood, "I see, I sent myself to your territory. You didn't kill me right away because I can still be useful to you. If I don't agree, it will be useless. You can't kill me anymore." Late, isn't it?"

Zhang Chongyang was noncommittal, "You don't need to be so cautious, fellow Daoist Li. Listen to my mission and the reward. Maybe you will agree?"

Li Fan couldn't help but laugh, "I doubt you can offer any reward worthy of my heart. Okay, you have to listen anyway. Just tell me and stop inking."

So Zhang Chongyang stroked his beard, made some calculations and said, "It's very simple. This is Li Daoyou's specialty. I would like to ask you to kidnap someone for me. The leader of the Xun Kingdom, Sun Zhonghu."

"...You want me to go into the Tiger City and stab the tiger?" Li Fan rolled his eyes, "Are you kidding me? Well, let's just start the fight."

But Zhang Chongyang was obviously not joking, and continued, "What a coincidence, I heard that in three days, the leader of the Sunda Kingdom will go out to hunt tigers. At that time, someone will take the opportunity to rebel and assassinate him. What a coincidence, the monks of the Sunda Kingdom will also be killed. This is the time for Brother Li to take action. If you tie up the leader of the Xun Kingdom and hand him over to my people, your mission will be completed."

Li Fan frowned, "...You want to save the leader of the Xun Kingdom? Just tell him that there is a mutiny and that's the end of it? Why tie him up..."

Zhang Chongyang chuckled, "No matter what you plan in this world, there will always be variables, but if my people are the ones who assassinate the driver, my people are the ones who rescue the driver, and my people are the ones who kidnap the driver, then everything is under control." , are you prepared? In short, as long as this thing is done, I can give you three rewards, one of which you can choose. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "

Then he raised his index finger and said, "One, the Captain of the Honored Cavalry, the Colonel of the Imperial Guards, who can choose five magic weapons of the Transformation Realm and get a reward of 100 million yuan."

Before Li Fan could be shocked, Zhang Chongyang raised his second finger and said, "Secondly, Sanyuan issued an order to tell the world that he would pardon the Luo Feng Immortal Army and redress the injustice for the Immortal King Luo Feng's lineage."

Li Fan closed his open jaw and frowned.

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 agreed... Do you believe it?"

Zhang Chongyang smiled, put his hands behind his back and said, "If you don't believe me, I will send the detailed arrangements to the Taoist friend's library. You can check it yourself after you come back to life. Of course, you can also report it to the official with the actual evidence and take a look. Is the Lord of the Xun Kingdom willing to reward you with a hundred thousand yuan? However, my reward is also clearly stated to you. I have tied up the person Sun Zhonghu handed over to me. You can choose any one of the three rewards just mentioned.

By the way, I have to remind you that the leader of a country cannot assassinate someone without some preparation. You don’t have the cause and effect to assassinate a tiger. If you do it rashly, you will only get into trouble. No matter whether they are alive or dead, they all work the same for me. "

He turned around and took two steps, then turned back and smiled at Li Fan, "Brother Li, I admire your sword skills very much, but if you want to get something, you can't just talk without practicing."

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

Li Fan had a sullen face, letting the hidden guy laugh sadly, and left with his five divine guards and the hundreds of Immortal Palace generals who had just secretly gathered around the library pavilion.

Is this girl really just a thousand households...
