It's shocking when you look at it from a distance, and you're amazed when you look at it up close.
Until Pei Wende and Mei Ji, led by Ling Xiaozi, walked into this huge building complex little by little.
They then realized that what they had just seen was just a drop in the bucket here.
In this huge building complex covering an area of more than a hundred miles, the interior can actually be subdivided into eight formations: heaven, earth, wind, cloud, dragon, tiger, bird and snake.
Each of these eight formations contains nine pagodas, sixteen main halls, fifty or twenty side halls, and many statues of gods and Buddhas.
Each formation has different formations based on different terrains, forming different environments.
Or swamp, or mountain forest, or desert, or countryside...
When you first enter it, you will be confused by its complex formations and changes, which is simply more terrifying than breaking into a maze.
Because these formations imply killing methods, and combined with those ruthless and desireless puppets, they can almost withstand an encirclement and suppression force that is more than a hundred times larger.
The most important thing is that these eight formations are not static, they can even consciously identify and target practitioners who break into them.
If a demon breaks into it, the Free Buddhist Pagoda will shock...
If orthodox practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism break into it, the stone statues of gods and Buddhas will naturally come out to stop them...
Even if left-field practitioners who follow their own paths come here, there are countless illusions, killing formations, and celestial phenomena waiting for them. There will always be one suitable for them.
[If we hadn’t known it in advance, who would have dared to believe that this would be the real ‘Qintian Prison’? 】
After walking for who knows how long, Pei Wende finally entered the true core of this building complex and thought to himself.
However, Pei Wende did not think too much about this issue, because they had already broken through the eight major formations on the periphery and arrived at the true core of the building complex.
This is an area of no more than ten miles, but the various buildings present an extremely regular and circular structure.
And in the center of this circle, the nine-story exquisite pagoda that can be seen from a distance stands tall and looks particularly eye-catching.
Besides, he didn't know if it was Pei Wende's illusion. He felt that ever since he stepped into this ring, an inexplicable sense of voyeurism had filled his heart.
Different from the "censorship" prying of the Babel Mirror, this kind of prying is more secretive.
If Pei Wende hadn't been so confident in his intuition, he wouldn't have been able to detect this vague prying eyes.

"We're here! The books in the tower are the 'Qin Tian Shu'."
When the three of them walked step by step to the door of the pagoda, Ling Xiaozi suddenly stopped and pointed at the nine-story exquisite pagoda in front of him.
"Are those 'Qin Tian Shu'?"
Opening his eyes in surprise, Pei Wende looked at the almost countless bamboo slips of books in the pagoda and almost rolled his eyes.
Because with just one glance, Pei Wende was sure that there were so many books that even if he could read at a glance, he would definitely not be able to finish them all if he didn't stay in the attic for a year or two.
This alone is only the first floor of the nine-story exquisite pagoda.
If the remaining 80% were the same number of books, Pei Wende felt that it would be impossible to find the clues he wanted without spending the last ten or eight years.
"That's natural. You can find any information recorded in writing here."
When he said this, Ling Xiaozi's voice suddenly paused.
"Of course, if you can tell me what you're looking for, maybe I can help you find it."
At this point, even people like Mei Ji who were not interested in Qin Tian's book could hear clues from Ling Xiaozi's words.
"Does your Qin Tian Prison have something similar to a catalog or an index?"
Although Meiji did not follow Huiji when she came to look through Qintian's documents several times before, she remembered that it did not take long for the other party to find the information she wanted.
"The number of books here is increasing every day, and the contents of the collection are changing all the time. How can there be something like an index?"
With a disdainful smile, Ling Xiaozi expressed his contempt for Mei Ji's ignorance.
“But just because there is no index, it doesn’t mean that you can’t quickly search for information.”
"On each floor of this pagoda, there are the 'shadows' of more than a dozen seniors who have long since passed away. They are constantly flipping through the various books inside, recording the changes in the content and number of the books."
"So as long as you tell me what you are looking for, I can ask them to quickly help you find what you are looking for."
Hearing what Ling Xiaozi said, Pei Wende noticed that there were actually many dark shadows inside the Linglong Pagoda.
But compared to the black dolls who were still active outside, the black shadows inside the pagoda almost stood motionless, as hard to detect as real shadows.
[Is this the ancient version of 'human flesh search engine'? 】
Rolling his eyes calmly, Pei Wende didn't completely believe Ling Xiaozi's words.
After all, the other party's uncooperative attitude was very obvious from the beginning.
If it weren't for Hui Ji's secret order, it would have been impossible for Ling Xiaozi, who studied under the Five Color Taoist Master, to lead the way for him.
Therefore, Pei Wende remained highly skeptical of what the other party said, whether it was true or false.
"I'm looking for children who were born near Chang'an in the past two years..."
"The gender should be a boy. He has a certain talent for cultivation. He may have joined a certain Taoist sect in Zhongnan Mountain."
After a brief silence, Pei Wende suddenly turned his hand, and a large Prajna ghost mask with a ferocious face and wide eyes appeared in his hand.
"If necessary, there is still a ray of vitality in this mask that can be used as a reference."
Seventeen years ago, Gui Gushen was severely injured by Xuan Jue and died, but before she died, she tore off a piece of his flesh and blood and retained the vitality in it.
In addition, after Gui Gu's spirit disappeared, her resentment continued to communicate with the dragon veins in the underground world, and collected a lot of information suspected to be related to Xuan Jue.
This information is processed in the form of information without any sorting or filtering.
It wasn't until Pei Wende refined the resentment of Gui Gushen into a Prajna ghost mask that he could actively filter the information in it by wearing the mask.
This was the last clue Gui Gushen left for Pei Wende, a clue that would allow him to quickly find Xuan Jue's reincarnation.
In fact, if he had not met Mei Ji, Pei Wende would have planned to search the whole of Chang'an with the help of the remaining vitality in the mask after visiting Hui Ji to find Xuan Jue's reincarnation.
But after accidentally learning about the existence of the "Qin Tian Book", Pei Wende naturally chose this more convenient way to find it.
[Reincarnated soul boy? 】
After listening to Pei Wende's story, it was Ling Xiaozi's turn to be silent this time.
As a Taoist practitioner, and having personally experienced the "spirit boy case" more than 20 years ago, he certainly knew what Pei Wende was looking for.
Ling Xiaozi now only hopes that Pei Wende's actions will not set off another "auspicious soul boy incident" that will affect the entire Chang'an and lead to the emperor's fall.
Because today's Tang Dynasty can no longer withstand the torment of the second emperor seeking immortality.
