The library of Shenwang Temple is very large. Even Ling Yao had never seen such a huge library in Changling Sword Gate and Shenlong Academy.
This does not mean that the library here is more outstanding than those places. Because although there is a lot of information here, many of them are records of complicated and trivial matters, or some poems and songs, anecdotes about celebrities, and gossip that are prohibited from being circulated by the Temple of the God King, and their value is not high.
Compared with quantity, the books in the library are actually more about quality.
The quality of the information here is really worrying, and even the accounts reported by some tribes are mixed in, as if they were collected here simply to prevent them from being spread, which made Ling Yao scratch his head.
However, fortunately, the qualification to enter the library is not one-time, and Ling Yao can come again at any time. Therefore, he did not force it. He just roughly confirmed the distribution of various materials in the library, and after confirming that there was what he wanted, he left here temporarily.
If he is too obsessed with a small library, the people in the Temple of the God King will definitely become suspicious.
After all, these people actually know that they are not "Rukawa people" but "outsiders" and are not subject to the cultural control of the Shenwang Temple.
If you act eager, it will not make them think that you are eager to learn. Instead, they will wonder if you joined the Temple of the God King just to get information.
He can't be too impatient.
Nan Rong and Qiu He, the guardians of the library, did not take Ling Yao's visit to the library seriously. They just thought that he could not wait to try to use the authority granted to him by the Temple of the God King to satisfy his curiosity.
So at first, the two of them would follow Ling Yao. After discovering that the other party was just watching, they quickly started to let themselves go and do their own things.
So when Ling Yao was leaving, Nan Rong and Qiu were holding a certain little book with reluctant expressions on their faces.
Ling Yao: ...Fortunately, your high priest should still be able to live for a long time, otherwise the Temple of the God King would simply perish if it were left in the hands of a brat like you.
For the subsequent dinner, Ling Yao did not miss the appointment and naturally went to Lang Yue's place for the banquet.
Although he didn't like this guy who had an affair with his master and was full of scheming, at least he had an affair with Anqi and the Naxi tribe before, and now he needed a "backer" in the Temple of the God King. , lest the Naxi tribe come to cause trouble for Gu Mingtai's death.
——After all, although he did not do it himself, even Nan Rong and Qiu knew that it was Xiao Lan Tiao. How could the people of the Naxi tribe not understand who gave the order to kill people and silence them.
What's more, the reason why Da Xikang wooed him overtly or covertly, even at the expense of his apprentice, was that it was hard to say that he didn't mean to cause trouble for Lang Yue. If he just switched sides like this, he would look too cheap.
He needs a high enough status to learn more about the inside of the Temple of the God King. Langyue is now his best entry point.
In turn, Lang Yue was even more nervous towards Ling Yao now.
Although he had regained some face through Ling Yao today, he also felt threatened by Da Xikang's attitude - although Ling Yao had verbally agreed to cooperate with him, if Da Xikang was willing to offer better terms, It’s not impossible for the other party to regret it!
He doesn't have Ling Yao's handle now, and he can't grasp the other person's preferences. He can only try his best to please the other person and leave a good impression on Ling Yao.
So for this dinner, he ordered people to prepare it extremely sumptuously and extravagantly. Even someone like Ling Yao, who had seen a lot of things in Changling Jianmen, was amazed when he saw it.
This banquet was a feast for the guests and the host. Ling Yao also met several priests on Lang Yue's side and became familiar with them.
However, although Ling Yao never concealed the fact that the ice python obeyed him in front of others, his ability was no secret in front of many people.
But after all, his identity has not been officially recognized by the God King Temple. If he lives directly in the God King Temple, there will inevitably be some rumors.
Especially since he has such a face, and the people in the God King Temple... well, it's very chaotic.
Therefore, for the sake of the majesty and reputation of both parties, Ling Yao still planned to live with the Anqi tribe first.
The Temple of the God King also gave him a notice and prepared to announce his identity to everyone after the selection of priests.
Ling Yao was also very satisfied with this result. Because he stayed alone in the den of thieves in the Shenwang Temple, he felt a little uneasy after all.
And he also needed to go out and give Qu Qianling some air.
Otherwise, this unreasonable uncle felt that he was of no use, so he left him alone in the river... How could he be reasonable?
Sigh...Why did Master leave me such a big historical problem...
With Ling Yao thinking like this, he was about to walk out of the palace complex of the God King Temple under the leadership of Nan Rong and Qiu.
"What is that sound? Is your God King Temple still haunted?"
In the quiet night, there were vague strange sounds coming from the quiet valley, like a woman's mourning or a child's cry.
Nan Rong and Qiu followed Ling Yao's gaze and glanced into the distance, then quickly retracted their gaze:
"Of course not. Under the watchful eye of the Heaven-reaching Snake Spirit, how could such evil spirits dare to wreak havoc in the Temple of the God King? It's just the wind in the valley, it's like this all year round."
Ling Yao listened carefully, trying to catch any trace.
However, the subtle sound disappeared without warning, as if it was just an illusion blended into the wind.
"Who are the people going over there?"
Ling Yao narrowed his gaze and asked again.
"The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. These are the tributes sent by various tribes to the God King Temple. There is a warehouse in the valley, not too far from here."
Nan Rong and Qiu didn't take Ling Yao's problem to heart. After all, only Ling Yao, the newcomer, didn't understand this matter. Everyone in the Temple of the God King knew it well.
"But when it comes to the sacrificial ceremony, in addition to the various tribes sending people here, the priests of the God King Temple need to prepare various matters, and your business is also involved."
"I?"
Ling Yao finally regained his attention.
"Oh, you need me to put on a show and show off your snake dance to everyone, right?"
"...You really dare to say that."
Nan Rong and Qiu didn't deny it either. Otherwise, why would the God King Temple serve Ling Yao with delicious food?
Isn't it just because of his existence that it further proves that the God King Temple is the only spokesperson for the Tongtian Snake Spirit and can stabilize the position of the God King Temple?
But this guy is too unscrupulous!
That is their Rukawa mythical beast! What dance!
It makes their sacrificial ceremony seem like a sideshow!
"This year's sacrificial ceremony is very important."
Nan Rong and Qiu rolled their eyes, feeling that they had to correct Ling Yao's attitude of not taking it seriously.
"At last year's sacrificial ceremony, the Tongtian Snake Spirit gave us an important prophecy - the disaster star of Rukawa has appeared, and the savior has also arrived!
“Although nothing big has happened yet, the prophecy will definitely come true!
"In this sacrificial ceremony, we must find the source of the disaster and find our savior! If there is any slack and this important opportunity is missed, Rukawa is likely to..."
"So you really believe in your snake spirit."
Ling Yao said something quite embarrassing again. Seeing Nan Rong and Qiu picking up their staffs and about to hit him on the head, Ling Yao quickly waved his hand:
"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong. It's true that this Lord Snake Spirit's presence in the God King Temple is too weak compared to before. I can only feel your respect, but at the level of 'faith'..."
"Compared to before? How long ago was that? I have been coming to the God King Temple for four or five years. Has it always been like this?"
"Well...I heard it from the elders in the family! This is not a secret in Rukawa, is it? Master Snake Spirit has appeared in the past, right? He has been completely silent in the past few years..."
"...You are obviously not from Rukawa. How could any of the elders in the family know about this?"
Nanrong and Qiu squinted.
"That's because you don't believe it, okay! I've always said that I'm from Rukawa!"
Ling Yao shamelessly complained loudly.
As for whether a certain brat believes it or not...slightly! You bite me!
"Master Snake Spirit is just recuperating in the past few years and wants to advance to a higher realm. Moreover, it often appeared in the past, just to show its existence and reassure the people of Ruchuan. Apart from prophecies, he will not directly interfere with us. life."
"Ah? Then what do you people in the Temple of the God King always talk about, Lord Snake Spirit is blessing you? Isn't it just deceiving people?"
"I have already said that I will not interfere directly! He will not personally fulfill everyone's wishes! Sincerity will lead to success!"
Nan Rong and Qiu were so angry that they stamped their feet.
"You'd better get out of here! I think you won't need anyone to plot against you in the Temple of the God King in the future. Just your mouth can kill you!"
Watching Ling Yao's back fade away, Nan Rong and Qiu puffed up their cheeks, snorted from their noses, turned around, and prepared to leave.
The wind in the valley whistled, like crying or moaning...
"very noisy."
Nan Rong and Qiu listened and muttered,
"They're so noisy."
…
——"Qianling, this is not good for anyone. The Sword Sect can fight within itself. But as the peak masters and the pillars of the sect, you cannot fight to the death. You don't need me to teach you this truth, right?"
——"Am I making trouble? He betrayed us! I am the only one alive to this day! Shouldn't I seek justice for my peers?"
——"The original matter has already been concluded, and it has been thirty years...give up. It's not all his fault. You have no evidence."
——"Don't be obsessed with what happened back then. This is the best outcome. You have been stuck on that thing for too many years."
——"Don't ask me to let go of the past! You know...unless I kill that hypocrite, it's impossible to untie the knot in my heart! I'll never be able to step into the True Element Realm!"
——"Haha, is your master hiding something from you? Of course, who doesn't have some secrets yet? But, I can't tell, I can't tell... Oh, it's good to keep the status quo, isn't it?"
——"Since you are so convinced, why don't you go find the 'evidence' yourself? Now you are at the peak of the Sky-Breaking Realm. As long as you don't encounter the Sky-Breaking Snake Spirit, you are still running rampant in Liuchuan? What do you want to know? , can anyone stop you?"
——"Have you made up your mind? I'm old and can't stop you anymore... Then go ahead. Maybe the truth is not what you want..."
——"The holy spring of the God King Temple is actually the essence of the earth's veins in Rukawa. The water of the holy spring can heal your injuries and may make up for the bottleneck of your cultivation caused by your heart disease."
——"Why...why?! Just because you can become your direct disciple, are you going to kill so many people? Qiu Tianming! You vicious hypocrite!"
——"Everyone wants to go to Rukawa to practice? What a pity, I have to practice in seclusion and can't go with you. It seems to be very dangerous there, so you should be careful."
——"Senior Sister Qianling! You are here too!"
Qu Qianling woke up from the bed to the cry of the boy in her dream.
"Huh...huh...what a bad luck. I've been thinking about this too much lately, and I actually dreamed about that bastard."
She couldn't help but spat, and touched her slightly moist face.
"I can't even see clearly...tsk."
The mountain wind in the valley swayed the moon shadow, gradually pulling her thoughts away.
As long as she finds out everything that happened that year and finds the evidence...
She must personally drive that bastard Qiu Tianming out of the school!
Suddenly, she lifted the quilt, picked up the sword in her hand, and threw it towards the door:
"who?!"
A certain salted fish who knocked on the door for a long time without getting a response and then pushed the door in, saw that the Red Sun Sword was inserted into the wall an inch away from his throat. He swallowed and couldn't help shouting:
"Master, Master, Master, Master, Master! Spare me!! It was a small mistake!!!"
Qu Qianling also knew that she had just been immersed in thinking and ignored Ling Yao's knock on the door, but she still glanced at Ling Yao, who was too much, speechlessly, and smoothed her hair:
"You're back from the Temple of the God King? What's the progress?"
Ling Yao also knew that he might not have come at the right time, so he could only bite the bullet and give a brief report on his situation today.
Qu Qianling also listened casually and waved him away:
"The books in the library cannot be taken out. Just find the relevant ones and mark them first, and I will look at them myself!"
Ling Yao: ...The boss's operation is different. If he can't be provoked, he can slip away.
