Since he wanted to sit on the rooftop, Zhang Jian could only temporarily put aside the compilation of "The Complete Book of Da Qian".
In response, Emperor Jingwu issued an imperial edict to retain his official position.
In fact, the compilation of "Daqian Quanshu" is still in the middle stage.
Zhang Jian just recently compiled the mid-term catalog for "The Complete Book of Da Qian".
The later editing work has not yet begun!
The Da Qian Quanshu is compiled from nearly 3,000 kinds of ancient books, with a total of more than 60,000 volumes and more than 20,000 volumes. The total number of words may be nearly one billion. It cannot be completed in a short time.
Even though Zhang Jian participated in the compilation.
Of course, this is also Zhang Jian's intention to hide his clumsiness, otherwise he alone can withstand the combined efforts of thousands of ordinary people, with full power, it can be completed in several years.
But that speed is too exaggerated, and it doesn't show what it can do.
Some things are obviously either done quickly or with competence.
But the 'efforts' need to be visible to Emperor Jingwu and the world.
In addition, hundreds or thousands of editors participated, and Zhang Jian could not forcefully compare all their contributions.
…
The overall view of Dongshen Temple is on the side of the Imperial City. Walking all the way from Yujing Gate, you will see a majestic and magnificent palace.
With such a magnificent building, it is inevitable that a word will not come to mind.
The white jade capital in the sky has five cities on the twelfth floor.
This sentence was not only written by Zhang Jian in his previous life, but also mentioned here, but only in the world of spiritual practice.
In order to inherit the foundation of Yuan Shen, one must travel through the Yin Shen and pass the test of the Five Cities.
The overall view of the Cave God Temple is modeled after a heavenly divine tower in the divine city.
In front of the main hall, there was already a graceful figure waiting in front of the hall.
Seeing Zhang Jian slightly bowing his head, he asked.
"Is this person here Zhang, the Bachelor of Arts and Sports?"
"The girl is...?"
Zhang Jian's eyes fell on the girl in front of him. This was a girl wearing a green dress with a long sword on her back. She had a beautiful face, but her expression looked stern.
"He Ying, who is a disciple of Master Jingming, has met Academician Zhang!"
The girl named He Ying raised her hands and said.
"He Ying was ordered to welcome Academician Zhang here and lead him to the rooftop to stay!"
"Girl, lead the way!"
Zhang Jian nodded.
The third generation of Dongshen Temple is the He generation, and there are actually many capable people in the He generation. The He baby in front of him looks like he has been under the disciple of Taoist Jingming not long ago, and has not yet completed the fortune-telling and foundation building.
But to be able to stand here and come to greet Zhang Jian is obviously a special status.
He Ying led the way and introduced to Zhang Jian the taboos in each hall and temple of Dongshen Temple. She walked lightly and just walked quickly in front.
Zhang Jian was looking around from behind, and in his spiritual eyes he could see various phenomena gathering in the Cave God Temple.
Boundless luck is coming.
Several of the main halls contain the Qi of the Great Qian's national destiny, and there are obviously other mysteries inside.
There are many immortal cultivators, but most of them have not yet grown up. A few of them keep their Qi secret, but they are hiding in the dark.
"The Dongshen Temple does not have a strong power on the surface. Only the ancestors of the Dongshen Cult have proved the soul. According to the truth, the Dongshen Sect has monopolized the national destiny of Daqian for hundreds of years. It should not be the only one with this kind of atmosphere. Is it because of the Dongshen Cult? The patriarch only gets the benefits, and the others don’t even get to drink the soup?”
Zhang Jian thought to himself.
If so, how powerful would the Cave God Cult Ancestor be?
"Or maybe the Cave God Temple is hiding its clumsiness, and what kind of strength is hidden in the dark?!"
Zhang Jian was not sure for a while.
Zhang Jian's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he was quickly attracted by a huge Taoist platform.
This is an ancient Taoist platform.
The Taoist platform seems to be standing on the ground, with a height of more than ten feet. It stands side by side with the Qin Tiantai and another strange altar building deep in the palace, and seems to be equally tall.
It seems like you can pluck the stars with one hand through this place.
At this moment, Zhang Jian was able to realize the true meaning of the word "Guan Tian".
Stand here, observe the way of heaven, and follow the path of heaven.
"This seems to be a magic weapon?"
At this time, Zhang Jian also noticed an invisible Taoist charm surrounding the rooftop viewing platform.
He Ying looked at the rooftop viewing platform in front of him, his face became much more solemn, and he said softly at the same time.
"Xueshi Zhang, your residence is arranged on the Observation Terrace, which has always been the residence of the Master. The Master likes to study Taoism here very much. This terrace has other mysteries. Rumor has it that it is the place where great powers from ancient times came to enlightenment. It contains the divine power of ancient powerful beings and possesses many mysteries. Academician Zhang is a great sage in this world, so I think he will gain something in the future!"
Zhang Jian's expression didn't move when he heard this, and He Ying said again.
"In addition, Master is worried that you, bachelor, are not used to living here, so we have specifically ordered that part of the sutra tower on the Observation Tower can also be opened to you!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian sighed: "The Imperial Master is a true gentleman!"
There was a smile on He Ying's beautiful face, he raised his head and said.
"My master is naturally a sincere gentleman!"
She seemed to have great admiration for Taoist Jingming.
Zhang Jian had to admit this. So many benefits were given away for free. Even if it was him who contributed, it would still be too much.
However, Zhang Jian will reserve these words for now.
What kind of person Jingming Taoist is cannot be determined by just a few contacts.
Immediately, He Ying pointed to the viewing square road in front of the viewing platform.
"Although Guantiantai is usually the place of practice for two generations of temple masters, there are often disciples of Dongshen Temple around. Elders are practicing nearby, or studying the Dharma. Sir, if you see it, you don't need to pay attention!"
At this time, there is another futon in the square. At this time, there are many Dongshen Temple disciples on the futon, focusing their eyes on the observation platform, as if they are meditating.
"But there is one place where the bachelor needs to be extra careful!"
He Ying took Zhang Jian to the center of the Tiantian Terrace, and he noticed that there was another strange altar on the Tiantian Terrace.
There is also a small and exquisite pagoda on the altar.
"Demon Suppression Tower!"
The Zhang family saw several ancient runes manifested on this exquisite stone tower.
In this small tower, Zhang Jian seemed to see boundless demonic energy lingering inside.
This is obviously a space-type magic weapon with many demons imprisoned inside.
However, what Zhang Jian didn't understand was why the leader of the Dongshen Cult was so unnecessary and couldn't just destroy these monsters directly. It would be too troublesome to imprison them.
He Ying looked at the small tower and said to Zhang Jian.
"This is the place. The demons imprisoned in this demon-suppressing tower are some demons who have made serious mistakes, but have not reached the most terrible situation. The ancestor is compassionate and is not willing to kill them all, but gives them a glimmer of hope. Let them meditate on their mistakes in the Demon Suppression Tower and wait for forgiveness!
However, in recent years, instead of meditating on their mistakes, some demons have become extremely vicious. Bachelors need to be careful and don’t listen to their nonsense, be careful not to be deceived! "
Zhang Jian nodded when he heard this.
After the introduction, He Ying asked Zhang Jian and learned that Zhang Jian had no other requests. He bowed and left the rooftop viewing platform.
Zhang Jian stood on the ten-foot-high observation platform. The strong wind around him seemed to be blocked by the invisible forbidden laws around the observation platform. He looked down and saw that there were many temples and monasteries around the Cave God Temple. Chu, not to mention the imperial city in the distance.
On the other side is the Dagan forbidden area.
"Daqian Dongling!"
Zhang Jian looked around, as if he could see the boundless dragon and tiger energy oscillating, with a majestic dragon shadow winding inside, and the dragon scales were thick.
Seemingly noticing Zhang Jian's gaze, deep within the boundless dragon-tiger aura, there was an invisible gaze sweeping towards the direction of the rooftop viewing platform. When he saw it was the rooftop viewing platform, he immediately withdrew his gaze.
This glance was extremely obscure, but it shocked Zhang Jian's heart.
That is a being whose conduct is unfathomable.
"It seems there is another secret behind Da Gan!"
Zhang Jian thought to himself.
This is not beyond Zhang Jian's expectation. Looking at the relationship between Daqian and Dongshen Temple, we know that if one party is strong against the other, it will never be so harmonious.
…
At this time, on the outskirts of Haojing City, Taoist Jingming was dressed in cave god robes. He was accompanied by a purple-gold dharma sedan. The people carrying the sedan were blue-robed warriors with open chests and lotus crowns on their heads. There were four others behind him. An elderly Taoist priest accompanied him.
Two Yin Shen Realm elders, Dong Zhen and Dong Xuan, were standing beside them. The other two had strange omens appearing around their bodies, either with towering horns or rosy faces. They looked like they were of different origins.
Taoist Jingming was looking in the direction of the viewing platform at this time, with a slight sigh in his eyes. Taoist Dongzhen next to him frowned and couldn't help saying.
"Senior nephew Jingming, are you really confident that you can hand over the viewing platform to that little champion Zhang?"
"If someone does something while you and I are away from the capital, I'm afraid that little number one scholar Zhang may not be able to do anything!"
Taoist Dongzhen has some difficulty understanding this.
Where is the Guan Tiantai? It is the hinterland of the Dongshen Cult. It is usually the place where the masters of the Dongshen Cult can live. Although it is only symbolic and not one of the most important forbidden places, outsiders are not allowed to live there.
Not to mention leaving the Demon Suppression Tower to such an outsider to guard it.
Taoist Jingming said calmly.
"Uncle Second Master, the overall situation in Haojing City has never been in the hands of us and the Dongshen Guan from the beginning to the end. Naturally, I have no expectations for Mr. Zhang's survival!"
"Then you still..."
Taoist Dongzhen frowned tightly.
"The reason why I let Mr. Zhang enter the Observation Terrace is not because our Cave God Temple needs much effort from Mr. Zhang, but just to create an opportunity, an opportunity to further forge a good relationship with Mr. Zhang. If Mr. Zhang can enter the Observation Terrace, If you realize any mysteries of heaven and earth in Taichung, it must be because of the kindness of our Cave God Temple!"
"Uncle Dongzhen, do you think it's worth it if all I have done can lead to such a profound bond with such a scholar who has embarked on the path of becoming a sage?"
Taoist Dongzhen was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly became a little silent.
Is it worth it? Of course it's great value.
Zhang Jian has great righteousness. Even if he cannot become an ancient sage like the Jade Sage in the future, it is still worth taking a step back to become a sub-sage or a Confucian master.
After the death of such beings, whether they are reincarnated and introduced into the Taoist lineage of the Immortal Family, or fall into the underworld and become gods, relying on their huge heritage and the power of mind to understand the world and see through the essence of all things, it is easy to become a soul. Avenue.
This is the minimum.
Maybe he can even step into the realm of a great real person, or even a real king.
At this time, Taoist Dongzhen sighed softly in his heart. He finally understood why the leader of Dongshen valued Taoist Jingming so much and let a 'sincere gentleman' like Taoist Jingming take charge before leaving.
"What a sincere gentleman, this is so wise as to be foolish!"
Taoist Dongzhen was also convinced at this time.
…
In front of the rooftop viewing platform, Zhang Jian was sitting cross-legged on the futon in the center. Several large cauldrons around him had already been lit with Ningshen incense by He Ying.
That is not an ordinary Ning Shen Xiang, but the Ning Shen Xiang that can assist the cultivation of Yin Shen realm monks. There are also several special forbidden methods activated around it, which can enhance the concentration of spiritual energy in the void.
"..."
Looking at this change, Zhang Jian could only sigh from the bottom of his heart that Dongshen Temple was really a generous effort.
At this time, deep in the Dantian of his body, six vortexes were rotating in the golden elixir spring, and the golden elixir energy was harmonious and full.
That is the characteristic of the late Jindan period.
After two years of hard training, Zhang Jian never stopped. Instead, he perfected the elixir energy and recently reached the late stage of the golden elixir.
And on the full golden elixir, countless Dao marks can be seen at this time, and the lines are withered, making this golden elixir exude a deep and ancient Taoist charm, as if it was nurtured by the Dao.
The nourishment of these Dao marks also makes the texture of the golden elixir become extremely heavy, like a mountain.
This is a very scary vision.
He has comprehended so many principles of heaven and earth, and speaking about them is enough to make other practitioners’ eyes drop.
At this time, Zhang Jian's numerous skills, including the five-shaped Sheji King Cauldron, the Nine Heavens Riding Wind and Thunder Control Technique, the Chaos Star Technique, the Soul Purifying Technique, and the Holy Virtue Cleansing Sword Technique, have all set foot in Yinshen. series.
Nourished by the abundant golden elixir energy, the natal magic weapon Dragon Yin Sword and the Qianyuan Golden Cauldron also stepped into the magic weapon realm.
In this state, he actually has the foundation to break the elixir and transform into a god.
But Zhang Jian has higher requirements for himself.
He hopes to be able to integrate the many principles of heaven and earth he has comprehended before the Yin Shen realm, and form a kind of natal magic, which will become an unparalleled foundation for him to climb the road to immortality.
Entering the rooftop viewing platform in front of him gave him this special opportunity.
There is an ethereal and special Taoist charm on this Tiantian terrace. If he can understand it, it will be of great help to his practice.
Zhang Jian was burning the awe-inspiring fire in his body at this time. When all the distracting thoughts in his spiritual thoughts completely disappeared, it was like a dense and ethereal Taoist rhyme fell on the path of observing the sky.
Or the sun and moon appeared strangely, or the five elements rotated, and the stars shone... there were all kinds of strange signs. From the various strange signs, he understood some special laws of heaven and earth.
Invisibly, there seemed to be a layer of substantive Dao Rhythm of Heaven and Earth permeating behind him.
This layer of heaven and earth charm reveals a perfect and flawless charm with a solid golden nature.
This change lasted for several days, and then Zhang Jian was awakened by a burst of thunder.
He frowned slightly, stood up from the futon, and seemed to appear on the periphery of the rooftop in one step.
In his eyes, he saw many Taoists from the Dongshen Tao lineage practicing in the square below.
It seems that someone habitually chooses the place to practice in front of the rooftop viewing platform.
I don’t know if the purpose is to show off, or maybe it’s just to show off your diligence and talent in front of the cave master or the seniors.
But at this time, all kinds of training methods fell into Zhang Jian's eyes, but they were a bit strange.
"Is this an aboveboard peek?"
At this time, Zhang Jian just glanced at it and suddenly felt that part of the cave god's thunder method was seen through by him.
