Chapter 223: The Mysterious Scroll of the Heaven-Repairing Sect

Generally speaking, if a sect has a place where books are stored, it must be an important place in the sect.

But the most mysterious Yuequ Hall seems different.

When Xu Heng and his companions arrived at the place, they felt it was extremely quiet. They went inside and took a look, and indeed, there was not even a guard there.

In the walled city built by the bookshelves, there was only the unique smell of paper, ink and wood. After flipping through a few volumes of the collection, the two of them began to understand a little bit.

It turns out that the collection of books in the Yuequ Hall, except for some common classics and Taoist books, other advanced magic, profound secrets, etc., are mostly covered by restrictions, so one can only read the outlines but cannot get a full picture.

The Taoist said earlier that the two of them could find a Taoist book they liked, and I guess it is here.

Xu Heng’s eyes swept across the bookshelf, looking for the title of a Taoist book, when Louguan Dao suddenly clapped his hands, which sounded particularly loud in this silent space.

“I know.” Lou Guandao said to himself suddenly, “The letter that Master asked me to deliver must be to the Zuixuan Temple Master, asking for the Refining Gang Method.”

“Oh?” Xu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly. He had seen the fight between Louguan Dao and the black snake before. It was not difficult to tell that he had not yet entered the stage of refining Gang. Originally, it was because his merits and achievements were not enough. So this was the reason?
It is normal for a master like Master Ge to have some deep meaning in his actions. Then, the master of Zuixuan Temple avoided meeting the visitor but asked him to find it himself. Is this a response or a rejection?
“Perhaps, it was just a test of fate… but it was fate that allowed me to get a bargain.”

Xu Heng seemed to be thinking about something, but Lou Guandao had already perked up and said to him, “Brother, I think what you and I want is different. Why don’t we separate temporarily and find our own names?”

Xu Heng came back to his senses and said, “That’s fine.”

Lou Guandao nodded, followed his gaze past the bookshelf, and soon turned into the depths of the Yuequ Hall.

Xu Heng was not in a hurry. He raised his eyes and looked at the bookshelf again. He took down a copy of “Tai Su Jing” and flipped through it. He quickly paused, but a slight smile appeared on his face.

This is a Taoist classic that he has read many times. Although it is always new, it usually does not produce any surprises.

But the annotations mixed in it are different.

A stone from another mountain can be used to polish a jade. Even for the same Taoist book, different practitioners will have different understandings. Learning from these differences will definitely help in exploring the meaning of the Taoist book.

This is something that most practitioners are unaware of, but it is a path that most people who aspire to achieve the great path must rely on.

The large number of annotations and textual research on Taoist classics, as well as the annotations by Taoist masters on unique copies, are the precious hidden heritage of a major Taoist sect.

Therefore, for Xu Heng, entering the Yuequ Hall to choose a superior magic or Taoist secrets may not be more precious than the opportunity to read these scriptures and classics.

……

Zuixuanguan is not a well-known sect, and it doesn’t seem to have many disciples. I don’t know where they collected so many books, which can be said to be all-encompassing.

Xu Heng paused and walked in front of the bookshelf, and was lost in thought until Louguan Dao found him.

Seeing his happy expression and a book in his hand, Xu Heng asked, “Brother, you must have found the method of refining the Gang?”

“That’s right.” Lou Guandao said, “Brother, you have found your ideal choice.”

Xu Heng nodded slightly. Although he preferred reading Taoist scriptures, he also knew that this Yuequ Temple was different from the Tianchi Mountain and there was no reason for him to stay there for a long time.

Therefore, when he was reading the Taoist scriptures, he also paid a little attention to a few Taoist books. Xu Heng turned around and looked for them, and soon there were two more Taoist books in his hand, one was “Ningdan Shangfa Pian” and the other was “Bu Tian Can Xuan Lu”.

Xu Heng has reached his current level of practice and is very clear about what he needs.

“The Upper Method of Condensing the Golden Elixir” is the indispensable alchemy book and magic method that he must read if he wants to embark on the path of golden elixir. As for “The Book of Bu Tian Can Xuan Lu”, it has the magical power of Bu Xuan and perfecting Taoism.

Among the several Taoist books that Xu Heng paid attention to, these two options were undoubtedly the most to his liking.

However, after thinking it over again and again, Xu Heng decided to choose “Bu Tian Shen Xuan Lu”.

Although the miraculous method of Danshu is important, there is no shortage of it in Tianchi Mountain, and some may even be more advanced. However, this “Bu Tian Can Xuan Lu” is quite peculiar, and seems to have the same effect as the most mysterious way of practice. It is worth Xu Heng’s try.

Xu Heng put the “Ningdan Shangfa Pian” back on the bookshelf, and seeing Lou Guandao waiting quietly beside him, he said, “Let’s go.”

Louguan Dao nodded and said, “We still need to ask Taoist Yanqing or that senior brother to remove the restriction of the Taoist book for us.”

Xu Heng thought about it and did not answer. He just held the “Bu Tian Can Xuan Lu” in his hand, and together with Lou Guandao, he turned around the bookshelves and went out of the Yuequ Hall.

At this time, he picked up the “Bu Tian Can Xuan Lu” again and saw flickering spots on the top, as if stardust was blown away, and it turned out that the restriction had disappeared by itself.

Lou Guandao was surprised when he saw this. He opened the book in his hand and took a few glances. He almost immersed himself in it. Then he came to his senses and said, “It seems that this Yuequ Hall is actually still in the eyes of the master.”

Xu Heng put away the Taoist book and looked around, but he didn’t see any trace of others. Then he said, “It seems that the Taoist brother in Zuixuan Temple is too lazy to see me off. You and I will go down the mountain.”

“That’s exactly what is going on.” Lou Guandao nodded in agreement. The two of them bowed to Chaoxu and then slowly walked out of Zuixuan Temple in the same direction.

They walked down the mountain path they had come from, their pace seemed to have quickened, and soon they were in front of the cliff again. This time, without waiting for someone to call them, they heard a splash in the mountain stream, and the dragon head had risen again. It glanced at the two of them and said in a thunderous voice, “You two are going down the mountain quite fast.”

“Thank you for waiting for me.” Lou Guandao stepped forward and bowed, saying, “Please give me and your younger brothers a ride.”

“Ha…” Xu Heng inexplicably felt that the dragon head seemed to be mocking him. Sure enough, the next moment, he heard it say, “It’s true that I sent you up the mountain, but I never said that I would send you down the mountain.”

“This?” Lou Guandao’s heart sank, and he asked, “Why are you in such a dilemma, Senior?”

“Embarrassing?” The Dragon Head sneered, “When has this Lord ever embarrassed you?”

Xu Heng could vaguely tell that the relationship between this “dragon” and Zuixuanguan was not what ordinary people imagined, and it was not his duty to send the two of them up the mountain.

He knew there was no need to waste time talking, so he stepped forward, bowed and asked, “Senior, if you have any requests, please just speak up.”

“You are more straightforward, young Taoist.” The Dragon Head said, “I have been in the mountains for a long time, my stomach is empty, and I have been hungry for a long time. Why don’t you help me find some?”

Lou Guandao was surprised and asked, “I wonder what you would like to eat, senior?”

“The more fairy gold and divine iron, the better. Spiritual ore and precious jade, I will accept all who come.” The dragon head laughed and said, “I’m not afraid to tell you, if you don’t feed me well, you can’t leave the mountain.”
