Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 165: Sitianjian Library
Although Lin Qianxing didn't say it, he was still upset about the fact that he had escaped from Kyoto several times.
So, he still wanted to go back and take a look.
Moreover, if he wanted to go back openly, he could not sneak into Wuding City as a wanted criminal or a thief.
So, the next day Lin Qianxing sent a message to Yan Zhu to inform him that he wanted to go to the Imperial Observatory to read the classics.
Yan Zhu expressed his welcome, but he was temporarily unable to accompany him in person due to some matters, so he could only let his disciple Rong Hao accompany Lin Qianxing to the Sitianjian to read the classics.
Lin Qianxing didn't care about this. It was just a matter of attitude. It didn't matter who accompanied him.
So when Lin Qianxing arrived outside Wuding City, he saw the boy named Rong Hao who had been waiting for a long time.
"Rong Hao greets the senior." Rong Hao said politely to Lin Qianxing.
"Let's go, take me to the Sitianjian." Lin Qianxing nodded.
"Please follow me, senior." Rong Hao said.
Soon, Rong Hao led the way and took Lin Qianxing to sit in the carriage beside them and entered Wuding City.
Entering the city again, Lin Qianxing's thoughts were somewhat complicated. He was accidentally involved in the struggle in the palace. Because of those two exquisite jade courages, he was hunted down all the way and had to eat wind and drink dew.
In the end, he was filled with resentment, and after completing the game "Changchun Gong", he had the idea of taking his anger out on the people of Dayu Kingdom.
Now that I think about it carefully, it was fortunate that I still had some bottom line at that time, and I was intimidated by the powerful people in the palace who had supernatural powers, so I did not commit such a terrible crime.
Otherwise, even if he is not dead now, his character would probably have changed drastically and he would have embarked on the path of evil cultivation.
If a person completely loses his humanity and bottom line, it would be a very sad and terrible thing.
"Ronghao, why is the city wall of Kyoto sixty feet high? I remember that the highest city walls of other cities are only twenty feet high." Suddenly, Lin Qianxing asked.
If the city wall had been shorter, he would have been able to jump out directly with his lightness skills, and would not have been stopped by a copper catcher and had two gold bars thrown at him.
Just now, when he swept his divine sense around, he was unable to see through the situation inside the city wall and was directly blocked, so he was a little curious now.
"This was built when the country was founded. Inside the immortal stone bricks used to build the city wall, there is a 'Xuanqing Earth-Suppressing Array'. Once activated, it can transform into a barrier that covers the entire Kyoto. Even dozens of powerful people in the realm of magical powers cannot easily break through it. However, it has lacked maintenance over the years, and now the Dayu Kingdom has no Yuan Crystals to consume the array, so it has not been activated for thousands of years." Rong Hao said.
Hearing this, Lin Qianxing finally understood what was going on.
No wonder the city wall is so tall.
The people who first began to guard against were not ordinary people, but cultivators in the realm of supernatural powers and strange beasts.
Unfortunately, with the great changes in heaven and earth, the vitality of heaven and earth is gone, and this great formation has become a decoration. Only the sixty-foot-high city wall remains, which looks a bit out of place.
You can’t stop a powerful being with this wall, and a weak being doesn’t need such a high wall.
However, now that spiritual inspiration has revived and the vitality of heaven and earth is becoming increasingly dense, I am afraid that it won’t be long before many Yuanjing veins will appear in Dayu. By then, this great formation may be able to be restarted.
The heritage of an ancient country with thousands of years of history cannot be underestimated after all!
Lin Qianxing suppressed the arrogance and contempt in his heart.
In any case, it's always a good thing to be humble and low-key. It can save you trouble and make it easier to communicate with others.
At this time, as the carriage moved forward, a patrolling team of detectives from the Anti-Evil Division passed by.
One of the bronze constables saw Lin Qianxing looking at the scenery of Kyoto from behind the curtain of the carriage and stopped in his tracks.
"Boss? What's wrong?" asked a police officer nearby.
"That's the carriage of the Director of the Imperial Observatory, right?" the copper policeman asked in doubt.
"That's right. It's the symbol of the Imperial Observatory. Yan Jianzheng doesn't like pomp and circumstance, and only rides a green-scaled horse when traveling. This is not uncommon. I don't know which expert is inside that deserves Yan Jianzheng to use his own carriage to pick him up." Another detective said.
The copper police officer was silent, then suddenly said, "I remembered something happened at home. You guys finish your patrol mission, and I'll invite you to a banquet at Baihua Tower later."
…
The other side.
The carriage that Lin Qianxing was riding in gradually drove towards the interior of the imperial city.
At this time, the eyes of many forces in the entire Wuding City fell on this carriage.
In other words, it was on Lin Qianxing's body.
A powerful person in the realm of supernatural powers with unknown origins now seems to have accepted the recruitment of the Imperial Observatory and the Monster Catching Department.
If the other party is determined to develop, the next one will most likely be another upstart from Dayu Kingdom.
Moreover, he does not need to rely on anyone, his own strength is his greatest support.
The three words "realm of supernatural powers" are enough to explain everything.
With this strength alone, he could be a prince who could be granted land by the Dayu Kingdom . Even the current emperor could only be on equal terms with him, and as a fellow Taoist and distinguished guest, he could not be called his subject.
Of course, for those who are in the realm of supernatural powers, they may not care.
After all, the Dayu Kingdom today is no longer the same as the Dayu Kingdom three thousand years ago.
These princes and nobles are well-informed, but the current situation is still unclear. Most of them are still waiting and watching, preparing to see the attitude of the royal family before deciding whether to increase their investment.
What is Li Xi doing at this time?
He feeds the fish in the back garden.
The golden carp that survived in Xuanru Temple seemed quite healthy and intelligent after being fed by him.
Li Xi dropped two Yuan Crystals, and the carp swallowed them directly with its mouth opened. Then it kept circling on the spot, wagging its tail to thank him.
"You are smarter and know what to do to get everything you want. Sometimes I think, why not just let you be the crown prince? It's better than those fools I gave birth to. No, they may not be my children. How can an ordinary woman give birth to a powerful Taoist heir?" Li Xi murmured to himself.
The eunuch beside him looked at Li Xi with his eyes and nose, as if he heard nothing. He just stood there beside Li Xi with a small basin full of Yuan Jing, like a human shelf for storing items.
…
"Is this the library of the Imperial Observatory?" Lin Qianxing murmured in shock.
He had magnified his imagination as much as possible, but he was still shocked by the scene before him.
From the outside, this library looks like a magnificent tower. Although it is built quite exquisitely, it did not surprise Lin Qianxing too much.
However, when Lin Qianxing stepped inside, he was completely shocked.
The space inside is much larger than the outside, almost as wide as five football fields, and this does not include the height.
Among them, countless classics are protected in the formation and placed in different categories on layers of bookshelves suspended in the air.
When Lin Qianxing wanted to read a certain part of the classics, he only needed to use the reading order to enter the keywords to search, and he could directly summon the projection in front of him through the formation to read it.
Yes, it's projection.
This is a setting made to protect the classics.
The classics in here are basically unique copies and have unique value. It is not possible to read them directly, so they can only be temporarily viewed through the projection formed by the formation.
There are many advantages to doing this. The most direct one is that it does not damage the books, and it can accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people reading the same book.
Of course, it is not easy to enter the library in the Sitianjian. After all, a lot of heaven and earth energy is consumed to maintain this formation. If it were not for the protection of knowledge, this formation would have been closed long ago.
According to Rong Hao, their internal staff would need to consume ten contribution points to read the book for a quarter of an hour, and some specific knowledge required additional payment to read.
Contribution points are a kind of integral currency in the internal system of Sitianjian. These ten contribution points can be converted into one hundred ordinary fasting pills.
However, Lin Qianxing is Yan Zhu's guest, and now that his spiritual power has been revived, this library can barely be maintained even without replenishing Yuan Crystals, so Lin Qianxing can browse here at will, and there is no restriction on the level of the books he reads.
Stay as long as you want.
Lin Qianxing said hello to Ronghao and asked him to go read a book. Then he took out the reading order and started searching for keywords to read the books inside.
What he wanted to see most was things about cultivation. Apart from the "True Art of Qi Training" that he obtained at the beginning, his knowledge of the way of practicing Qi only included the "Soul Gathering Spell" in the world of "The Spell Master".
The former stops at the foundation-building stage, while the latter only cultivates the sea of consciousness and completely follows the path of quantified spell power, which is not systematic and comprehensive.
Therefore, Lin Qianxing wanted to know the practice situation of Qi training and the specific practice system of the cultivators in this world.
Input magic power into the reading order, and it will directly project an input interface with a blue background.
Lin Qianxing's eyes flickered as he saw countless mysterious and intricate Dao patterns. The designs were so ingenious that Lin Qianxing couldn't figure it out for a while, and he couldn't help but marvel at them.
This made him miss the mobile phone he used in his previous life. If this thing continued to develop, it would probably be similar.
However, he did not concentrate on studying the token, but directly entered the keyword "Qi training" by hand.
Then, Lin Qianxing saw rows of book titles appearing on the projection screen above the reading order.
Lin Qianxing can select a book by sliding, and then directly communicate with the formation to generate a projection to read it.
He tapped his fingers lightly, and books were quickly projected around him.
Then Lin Qianxing searched for books related to the realm of cultivation. Soon, he had hundreds of non-physical projection books that were completely generated by light.
Of course, this does not affect reading, and they are basically of low quality. Even a Qigong practitioner who does not cultivate the physical body at the beginning can hold them in his hands and read them for a long time.
Lin Qianxing slid his fingers, scanned with his mind and read quickly. Hundreds of books were flipped through by him almost at the same time.
After scanning, all the information can be recorded in your mind.
Rule-level life is no longer the same as ordinary people in every aspect.
When it comes to receiving information, Lin Qianxing's speed is hundreds or even tens of thousands times faster than that of an ordinary person.
The gap is so huge that it is hard to imagine for ordinary people who can't even remember everything they see.
Soon, Lin Qianxing finished reading all the books, and he had a basic understanding of Qi training and the realm divisions of the cultivators in this world.
