The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Early the next morning, Tong Ying came to him with the token, and the two of them headed straight for the Sutra Pavilion at the Taiyang Tower headquarters.

"Senior, I thought about it last night. Is the request I made too excessive? Isn't it going to embarrass Mr. Tong?"

This is the truth. Although Mr. Tong is now the highest-level monk in Taiyang Tower, after all, this is a force, not a family, and the Tong family is not the only one.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it seems that he made this request yesterday too hastily. At the very least, he should have made it after meeting Mr. Tong.

"It's okay, you are not looking at inheritance or anything like that, you just want to understand the world of cultivating immortals, so why not? Although these things are also very precious and hard to see, but compared with the real inheritance, then It’s not worth mentioning anymore, so just relax!”

The two of them walked and talked, and after more than half an hour, they came to a door called "Book Pavilion".

There is an arch in front of the pavilion door, and there is a very simple stone mirror on the arch.

Xu Zhiyu raised his head and glanced at the stone mirror, thinking, it seems that this should be one of Taiyang Tower's methods, the purpose is to check the monks entering and leaving here.

Seeing Tong Ying walking in without any hesitation, he naturally followed closely.

Tong Ying seemed to have been here frequently and was already familiar with the various arrangements of the place. She turned a deaf ear to matters that seemed strange to outsiders.

After the two of them entered the pavilion, he looked up and saw an old man with gray hair and a childlike face, leaning on the futon at an angle, with his legs curled up, holding a book in one hand and a wine gourd in the other hand. It was not sealed, and it was exuding a strong aroma of wine. At the same time, he was smacking his lips, as if he was savoring the aroma of wine.

At first glance, this old man looks like a drunkard with no magic power, but if you feel it carefully, you will feel that the aura emanating from his body is unfathomable, and he is definitely the Nascent Soul Lord.

"Grandpa Qi, wake up, wake up, someone is coming!"

Tong Ying might be familiar with the old man. Seeing that he was drunk again, she walked over and shook the old man's arm, trying to wake him up.

"Okay, stop shaking it. If you shake it any more, my old bones will fall apart."

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Tong Ying, he couldn't help complaining:

"It turns out to be Xiao Ying'er. If you want to check the classics, just go in by yourself. Why are you bothering me, old man?"

When Tong Ying saw that the old man was awake, she quickly introduced Xu Zhiyu who was standing behind her:

"Grandpa Qi, it's not that I want to go in to consult the classics, but I want to take this fellow Daoist Xu in."

The old man frowned slightly when he heard this and glanced at him. His eyes paused for a moment on the token on his waist. Then he turned his head to look at Tong Ying and said angrily:

"Nonsense, how can he, an outsider, be qualified to enter the Book Pavilion of my Taiyang Tower? Take him away quickly."

"Grandpa Qi, it's not that this junior is bold, it's just that my father's consent has been obtained for this matter. This is his old man's token. Please check it."

With that said, he handed Mr. Tong's exclusive identity jade token to him. The moment he saw it, the old man Muran sat up straight, his expression no longer as lazy as before, and he took the token with respectful hands.

Afterwards, he made a simple registration for Xu Zhiyu, and then waved his hands. He was about to say something, but was washed away by a long wine burp.

"That burp."

A very strong smell of alcohol spread in the air. Naturally, Xu Zhiyu did not dare to say anything and kept standing with a bow. However, Tong Ying couldn't bear it anymore and directly pulled him towards the back of the building without saying hello.

After leaving here, what appeared in front of him was a bluestone road of varying widths.

At the other end of the road, he was connected to the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion that he had longed for.

However, there are many attics here, with the same style, but different sizes, and they store different classics. What they are going to this time is the Sutra Pavilion, which is dedicated to storing ancient history, and it is also the oldest one among them.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, my father has agreed to allow you to enter the Buddhist scripture building where ancient books and miscellaneous histories are stored to read books, and it is limited to one month. I have to attend my father's ceremony, so I will not accompany you.

But don’t worry, after the one-month period is up, I will come over in person to take you back. "

Standing in front of the Sutra Collection Pavilion, Tong Ying said goodbye to him and warned him.

"Actually, when the time is up, I will leave on my own. Senior has been very busy recently and it would be too troublesome to do so."

Xu Zhiyu knew that as the ceremony was getting closer, Tong Ying would definitely become busier and busier, so he said this, although I am grateful for your life-saving grace to your father, you can't be ignorant, right?
Tong Ying lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said:
"That's okay, but this is the important place of Taiyang Tower after all. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble for you, I will temporarily hand over my token to you. You can return it to me when the ceremony starts later."

"Thank you very much, senior." This time he did not refuse.

"Okay, then fellow Taoist, you can go in. By the way, in addition to the various historical classics that I have searched for in Taiyang Tower for hundreds of thousands of years, there are also a lot of secrets about the world of immortality, that is, about the legendary spirits. world, there are also some mentions.”

After Tong Ying finished the introduction, she took off the jade plaque from her waist and handed it to him. Then she took out her father's jade plaque and pointed it at the Scripture Depository Pavilion in front of her, shaking it slightly. Then she saw the Scripture Depository Pavilion that was originally covered by nothing. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared, and a dazzling light shield suddenly appeared, covering it entirely.

Then Tong Ying fired a spell, and then she saw a small opening suddenly opened above the light shield.

"Fellow Taoist, come in!"

"Thank you, senior!"

After saying that, he bowed his hands in a salute, and then walked into the radiant Scripture-Depository Pavilion.

However, he was also complaining in his heart, because he felt that the scale of this scripture collection pavilion was a bit small. It was no more than three stories high and covered an area of ​​just over an acre. There were only so many historical books that were hundreds of thousands of years old. It was really a bit small. .

But when he really got into it, he realized that he was wrong, very wrong. It turns out that this place is just like the storage bag, with a space array arranged. From the outside, it seems that the space is not big, but only when you enter it will you know how vast it is.

As soon as he entered it, he was stunned by the scene inside.

I saw that there were hundreds of thousands of jade slips of all kinds, large and small. The small ones were only the size of a fingernail, and the large ones were bigger than his body. In addition, there were also countless books, and there were also various books. Plant bamboo slips, animal skins, rock carvings, and all kinds of strange carriers.

He was stunned for a while, then picked up a jade slip on a nearby bookshelf and started to look at it. He found that it was recorded hundreds of thousands of years ago, when Taiyang Tower, which was still a Jindan power, had a war with another power.

He was not interested in this matter, so he put it down and picked up another piece.

What is recorded here is the battle between the two major groups of humans and demons in order to compete for Xuanzhou.

It contains detailed records of the identity and background of the high-level monks who first entered Xuanzhou, as well as information about some extremely powerful Demon Emperors who were entrenched in the Hengduan Mountains of Xuanzhou at that time.

Xu Zhiyu only heard this past incident mentioned by the God-Transforming Lord in the Secret Realm of Chixiao, and then knew nothing else about it. When he happened to meet it this time, he wanted to know more about it.

The events recorded in this jade slip were very detailed, and there were also images of the battle between humans and monsters. The battle inside made his heart surge, and also made him understand how weak he was now.

After understanding this period of history, he no longer looked at the jade slips. He always remembered the main purpose of coming here.

Then he started browsing the bookshelves like a quick glance, and found that there were various words on these bookshelves, such as sects, sects, demise of the country, and racial inheritance. This was equivalent to roughly dividing the scope, which was also convenient for people. Find.

But after looking through several jade slips, he couldn't find the information he wanted. Moreover, he found that most of the jade slips here recorded things about Xuanzhou, and there was no such weird writing at all. records.

However, he thought that the senior divination who had left behind the book had once said that the Jiu Shi Sect seemed to have this kind of written heritage. Thinking of this, he began to slowly search the bookshelf for the Jiu Shi Sect's information.

In the end, he really found a lot, but after some investigation, he found that it recorded the history of Jiushi Sect's origin, growth, and dominance, but there was no information he wanted to know.

"No way. Could it be that there are no ancient antiques like Taiyang Tower that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years? For any record of that mysterious writing, is it possible that if you want to decipher it, you can only go to the Jiushi Sect?"

Xu Zhiyu, who didn't find any clues, thought with some frustration.

But just when he looked up, he suddenly hit his forehead and realized that the Sutra Pavilion was divided into three floors. The absence of the first floor did not mean that there were no third floors. Thinking of this, he walked directly through the stairs and came to the second floor.

The jade slips and books stored here were much less than those on the first floor, only about one percent of those on the first floor, but there were still many, so he began to search the bookshelves one after another.

But this time he was disappointed again. The jade slips on this layer recorded the situation of the other nine continents except Xuanzhou.

And it's not the kind of exact records, most of them are legends, the kind that can't be verified as true or false. It seems that although Taiyang Tower is also collecting information about these places, the results are not obvious.

However, the mysterious Venerable had told him a lot about these things back in Chixiao Blessed Land, and he felt that he knew more than what was recorded here, and it was more reliable.

However, there is an exception for one continent, which is the Ancestral Continent of the human race's base camp. Regarding this place, the records on the jade slips are very detailed and the content is relatively true.

But here he also discovered a big secret, that is, the Taiyang Tower headquarters originally located in the Yue Kingdom of Xuanzhou Continent was actually just the headquarters of Xuanzhou Continent. The real headquarters of Taiyang Tower was actually located in Zuzhou.

And even the Jiushi Sect, the only Shenhua Sect in Xuanzhou, is like this. The one here in Xuanzhou is just a branch sect, and the main sect is still in Zuzhou.

Moreover, according to the records on the jade slips, among the power rankings in the entire Zuzhou, Jiu Shi Sect is considered to be at the top of the second rate, while Taiyang Tower is basically ranked at the bottom of the second rate.

It turns out that the ranking of the sects there is calculated based on the number of god-transforming monks under the sect. The Yuhua Palace, which is rumored to be ranked first, is a super power and has more than thirty god-transforming monks in its palace. .

There are nine in the Jiu Shi Sect and only two in the Taiyang Tower. No, now that Mr. Tong is included, there are three. Although they are too powerful to be seen in Xuan Continent, they are still not enough to see in Zu Continent.

Rumor has it that in that place, golden elixirs are everywhere, and the Zifu is not as good as a dog. Maybe you just meet someone on the streets of Fangshi, and he is a high-level monk.

Moreover, on this jade slip, there is also a clear description of the realms beyond the transformation of gods, which are refining the void, integrating the body, and the Mahayana.

At the same time, it is said that these realms are basically impossible to achieve in the human world where they live. Only after their cultivation reaches the Great Perfection of Divine Transformation and successfully ascends to the spiritual world, can they continue to break through the realm.

However, the jade slip also recorded a speculation, that is, among the top three superpowers in Zuzhou, there should still be some combat power in the realm of refining the void. This is why they have been able to maintain their transcendent status.

But when it comes to ascending to the spiritual world, the jade slips also record a situation, that is, in the human world they are in, no monks have been able to ascend successfully for tens of thousands of years. There are quite a few monks who have reached the realm of the Great Perfection of God Transformation, but none With one exception, all breakthroughs failed.

As for why this happened, the high-level monks from the Zuzhou Immortal Realm gathered together to discuss it more than once, but they had no clue. Some said that an accident occurred at the transmission node leading to the spiritual world, while others speculated that it was because of an accident. What accident happened in the spiritual world, but no definite conclusion was reached in the end. This situation did not change until 10,000 years ago.

At that time, there was an elder from the Ascension Palace who felt that his time was running out, so he found a random place without notifying other people in the palace, and then started to make a breakthrough, and finally succeeded in ascending.

However, the explanation given by Yuhua Palace is that the elder did not succeed because the soul lamp left by the elder in the palace went out. According to the previous experience of ascension, the soul lamp of monks who truly ascended successfully will always be on. .

However, what the facts are is not something that small forces like Taiyang Tower can know, so what is recorded is also all kinds of tragic predictions.

After reading the explanation about Zhongzhou, Xu Zhiyu couldn't help but sigh.

"Zuzhou is the most ideal training ground for monks of our generation. If you have the opportunity, you must go to this place where all the elites of the human race gather to make a living, so that you will not have any regrets."

Thinking like this, he put the jade slip back to its original place, and then continued to search for records related to the mysterious text, but still found no whereabouts.

In this way, he placed his last hope on the third floor. (End of chapter)
