When everyone climbed to the Shenhe Peak, it was already noon on the second day.
According to legend, when Tianxuan Mountain was founded, there were only three divine peaks, each led by three sword ancestors. Later, as they grew larger, the next four divine peaks evolved, for a total of seven divine peaks.
Kamigawa Peak was one of the three peaks when the clan was established.
Therefore, compared to other peaks, Kamigawa Peak is much taller.
They climbed the peak yesterday. When they were on the mountainside, they arranged several rooms at the residence of the inner disciples and repaired them all night. They climbed to Shenhe Peak again early this morning.
This process took another half a day.
"Why do you think these big sects have to put themselves on the mountain? They go up and down for several days. If something really happens, when it spreads all over Tianxuan Mountain, everyone who happened will probably be cold. Many days.”
Just after reaching the top of Shenhe Peak, Meng Ziliang muttered angrily.
Compared to Chu Qingxiao and others who had some level of cultivation, for Meng Ziliang who had no cultivation at all, this mountain climbing trip indeed seemed particularly torturous.
Faced with Meng Ziliang's slander, Meng Jin glared at him and said, "Do you think everyone in Tianxuan Mountain is as helpless as you?"
Chu Zhaozhao also explained: "Each divine peak has elders who are responsible for transmitting messages, and their cultivation level is beyond the six realms. For us, it will take a day or two to climb the mountain, but for them, it will take a long time." Less than half a day, as short as one or two hours."
"What's more, there is a Hanging Mirror Bell in Tianxuan Peak. If something big happens, the headmaster will order someone to ring the Hanging Mirror Bell. The sound is enough to spread from Tianxuan Peak to the entire Tianxuan Mountain, and even Even Tianxuan City can hear it really clearly."
When Song Qingqing heard this, he also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and sarcastically said: "You don't even have any common sense, and you still want to be the leader of swordsmanship?"
Meng Ziliang didn't care about the sarcasm in Song Qingqing's words. He just turned to look at Song Qingqing with a normal expression, blinked and asked seriously: "But if the mountain gate is not placed on this mountain, wouldn't it be so troublesome? What’s up?”
This question made Song Qingqing stunned, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
"Placing the sect in a place far away from people is a way for some sects to concentrate on their cultivation without being disturbed by the trivial matters of the world."
At this moment, a voice that seemed familiar to everyone came from behind.
Everyone looked back and saw Mu Nanshan, dressed in red, walking slowly at this moment. His arrival silenced everyone who had been arguing just now.
Tu Yuanzhen looked respectful and saluted towards Mu Nanshan.
Mu Nanshan continued: "But for most sects, being aloof is also a means of maintaining the sect."
"Having the disciples respect you and fear you is conducive to the internal stability of the sect, and the aloof attitude is also conducive to making outsiders yearn for the sect."
"The world is afraid of the strong, but also admires the strong. Making use of these two psychology is a required course for the stable operation of a sect or even a world."
When Meng Ziliang heard these words, he carefully chewed on the profound meaning, and then muttered: "It sounds like a method of treating others like cattle and sheep."
"Just like a shepherd can scare an entire flock of sheep with just one sheepdog..."
"In fact, it is not the power that scares cattle and sheep, but the fear in their hearts."
Meng Ziliang said this, and Meng Jin next to him heard the words and his heart skipped a beat. On weekdays, they just said bad things about Tianxuan Mountain in private, but the person in front of them was the peak master of Shenhe Peak. In front of others, For scolding someone's mother, this Sheppard's main reason was that he had a bad temper. He killed his own brother on the spot. I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration.
Thinking of this, Meng Jin quickly reached out and pinched her brother's waist.
Meng Ziliang's face suddenly turned pale, and his words stopped abruptly.
At this time, everyone realized the abruptness of Meng Ziliang's words, and they all became nervous and looked at Mu Nanshan.
Even Song Qingqing, who had just had a conflict with Meng Ziliang because of this, couldn't help but feel secretly worried about Meng Ziliang in his heart.
When Mu Nanshan heard this, he was silent for a while, and then he smiled and said, "Doesn't that just treat people as fools?"
"It's just that no one is a fool. Now the tens of thousands of people are willing to be fools in Tianxuan Mountain because it is profitable. When one day there is no profit, who is the fool and who is the smart person? That’s not necessarily the case.”
What Mu Nanshan said was very serious, and there was indeed some truth to it.
It's just that these words, coming from the mouth of a peak master, seem a bit out of place.
"It is said that the peak master of Shenhe Peak has a bone in the back of his head. It seems that this is true." At this time, Song Qingqing whispered behind Chu Qingxiao.
Chu Qingxiao rolled his eyes when he heard this, but did not pay attention to the other party. Instead, he took a step forward and saluted towards Mu Nanshan: "Junior Chu Qingxiao, I have met Master Mu Peak."
Mu Nanshan glanced at Chu Qingxiao, but did not respond to the other party's salute. He just nodded lightly, then glanced at Tu Yuanzhen beside him, and said: "Since the people have arrived, let's take them to the library, everyone." One book, let them choose it, no matter it is good or bad, once they choose it, they cannot change it.”
"After the selection, send them down the mountain. Don't stay on Shenhe Peak for too long. Finances at Shenhe Peak have been tight recently. If you stay one more day, you will have to prepare an extra meal."
"We can save whatever we can now."
Chu Qingxiao: "..."
…
"Is this the library at Kamigawa Peak?"
"It is indeed the largest library in the whole summer, besides Linyuan Palace and Wuwang Temple." Song Qingqing couldn't help but sigh as he walked into the library and looked at the door that was out of sight.
When Chu Qingxiao heard this, he also nodded. Looking at the dense collection of books in front of him, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
"Everyone, the library is divided into nine floors. It contains books on spiritual practice, swordsmanship and swordsmanship, as well as various historical materials and Confucian texts, and even anecdotes from hereditary sects."
“The higher you go, the more precious the books included are.”
“But remember, rarity is relative to its rarity, not its usefulness.”
"In other words, it is not that the collection at the top is more beneficial to your practice. Sometimes the one that suits you is the best. So you'd better not aim too high and find the technique or sword technique that suits you. The most important thing." Tu Yuanzhen's voice sounded at this time.
Although Tu Yuan Town has a reputation for being evil, his attitude toward everyone along the way, especially Chu Qingxiao, was actually quite kind. After hearing his reminder, Chu Qingxiao naturally hurriedly turned to him and thanked him: "Thank you, senior, for your advice. We would like to express our sincere gratitude." I remember what my senior said."
Tu Yuanzhen nodded when he heard this and didn't say much. At this moment, he turned around and walked out of the library, slowly closing the door of the library.
The library suddenly fell into silence.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, the expressions on their faces were somewhat excited, but besides being excited, they were also a little confused.
After all, the collection of books on the first floor alone seemed to be tens of thousands in size and of various types.
Just like it is difficult for a person to pick out the most valuable treasure from a mountain of gold and silver.
It is not an easy task to choose your favorite books from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ancient books.
"Let's take a look separately first. If we find something we think is good, we will write down the names and exchange them with each other. After all, the opportunity is rare. We still have to try our best to find the right technique for us." Chu Qingxiao also saw everyone's confusion. At this time, he made a suggestion.
Everyone didn't have a particularly good idea for a while. After hearing Chu Qingxiao's words, they all nodded in agreement, which was regarded as agreeing with the other party's proposal.
…
Tu Yuanzhen slowly walked out of the door of the library.
Outside the door, Mu Nanshan was standing there, seemingly waiting for him.
Tu Yuanzhen walked up to Mu Nanshan and saluted him.
Then he looked at his peak master, who had been away for more than ten years, and opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.
Mu Nanshan stared down at him, as if he could see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Just ask whatever you want. Why have you become so nagging after not seeing you for more than ten years?"
Tu Yuanzhen was scolded by Mu Nanshan, but there was no look of anger on his face. Instead, he looked at Mu Nanshan and asked, "Does the Peak Master know the relationship between that young man and Zhao Nianshuang?"
After Mu Nanshan thought for a while, he said, "I heard Lu Sandao say, what's wrong?"
Tu Yuanzhen's expression suddenly changed slightly: "But Peak Master Zhao and his age..."
"He is from Wuling City." Mu Nanshan made it clear immediately.
"Wuling City?" Tu Yuanzhen's expression became increasingly weird, "But wasn't that place long ago..."
"The world is full of wonders." Mu Nanshan added, obviously without going into detail.
Tu Yuanzhen knew what was going on. He put aside his curiosity and asked another question: "But since he is from Qingque Peak, why does the peak master prefer him so much?"
"Preference?" Mu Nanshan was stunned when he heard this. He blinked, looked at Tu Yuanzhen and asked, "Do I have a preference for him?"
Tu Yuanzhen smiled: "If opening the ninth floor of the library for him is just to repay his kindness, then the peak master did not give him a set time to enter the library this time."
"If he could think of this, even though he only asked them to leave with one book, if he was smart enough to memorize the contents of those books, it would not be as simple as one or two books, not to mention, this There were as many as six people who entered at this time..."
"In the past, even for me, when I entered the Library Pavilion, the Peak Master only gave me two days. The longest time, when the Headmaster entered the Pavilion, was only seven days. Peak Master, do you think this is not a preference? "
Hearing this, Mu Nanshan pondered for a while, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
"It would be too obvious if we didn't add a deadline."
"If the old man, the headmaster, finds out, he will probably come to visit us again."
"As the peak master of Shenhe Peak, we really have to level the water..."
Tu Yuanzhen frowned, and although he was puzzled in his heart, he still asked: "How much time are you prepared to give them, the Peak Master?"
Mu Nanshan lowered his head again and muttered: "They don't look too stupid. I guess they should be able to memorize those things in four or five days..."
"Forget it, if it's just some elm-headed people, it would be more reliable to give it a few more days, then..."
"A month."
Tu Yuanzhen: "..."
