The place where books are stored is often the most important place for a sect.
Because what the collection of books represents is inheritance, and if a sect wants to prosper for a long time, it must pay attention to inheritance. Only by having talents from generation to generation can the sect always maintain its most powerful position.
Therefore, when Venerable Yu Qi said in a calm tone that he allowed Ouyang Ming to enter the place where the books were collected, even he wondered whether he had failed.
However, the words of this venerable lord were soon fulfilled.
After Venerable Yu Qi and the old ape left, an acquaintance came to Ouyang Ming. It was Bai Zhiyi who admired his blacksmithing skills very much.
Judging from appearance alone, Bai Zhiyi seems to be much older than Venerable Yu Qi. But as a practitioner, one's age cannot be simply judged based on appearance.
After receiving the order from Lord Yu Qi, Bai Zhiyi was startled for a moment, and then there was a trace of envy in his eyes, and he said to Ouyang Ming: "Xiao Ou, you are so lucky to be able to get His Majesty’s approval.” He was amazed and said, “As far as I know, Your Majesty has never spoken for anyone before.”
Ouyang Ming was slightly startled, and felt quite strange in his heart. Venerable Yu Qi really looked at him differently.
Bai Zhiyi smiled and said: "Xiao Ou, I have arranged the place to live. Do you want to rest now, or..."
Ouyang Ming said without hesitation: "I want to go to the place where the books are stored and see them."
He came to the spiritual world from the lower world, although he has already met many people and learned a lot. However, he has never really studied systematically. Now that he has this rare opportunity, he is naturally unwilling to miss it.
Bai Zhiyi seemed to have guessed his plan a long time ago, and led him to a certain mountain peak with a smile.
There are many strong men stationed on this mountain road, and there are many hidden sentries on guard posts.
Although Ouyang Ming was embarrassed to release his mental consciousness to explore carefully, even with a rough calculation, he knew that the number of strong people gathered here was comparable to that of a nest of lizards.
Obviously, this is the real center of the Beast King Sect, otherwise it would be impossible for so many strong men to appear.
Along the way, Bai Zhiyi was an old face, and no one came forward to question him. However, it was different with Ouyang Ming. This young man definitely had a strange face, especially when passing by Ming Gang on the mountainside, several sharp eyes flickered on Ouyang Ming, as if they wanted to see through him. .
First, a middle-aged man came slowly. Although his steps were not big, they were firm and powerful, as if every step revealed strong self-confidence.
After seeing Bai Zhiyi, a smile appeared on his resolute face and he said, "Brother Bai, long time no see."
Bai Zhiyi laughed and said, "Brother Shui, it's your turn to be on duty this month."
The middle-aged man gave a bitter smile and said: "Hey, it's the most boring thing to be stationed here. I don't believe that anyone dares to invade our Beast King Sect." There was a strong confidence in his voice, and he felt very confident about being a member of the Beast King Sect. The disciple felt strong pride.
Bai Zhiyi nodded slightly and said, "That's right." He paused and then said, "I want to enter the library, please let me go."
The middle-aged man looked slightly startled and said, "Brother Bai, you didn't have any problems in the past, but this little brother is..." He looked at Ouyang Ming behind Bai Zhiyi, and said suspiciously: "You should know the rules. , strangers cannot be allowed into the library.”
Bai Zhiyi laughed dumbly and said: "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you." He explained: "This is Ouyang Ming, and His Holiness gave him permission to enter and leave the Sutra Pavilion and allowed him to learn the sect's knowledge. All secrets.”
"What?" The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Ouyang Ming with a hint of confusion.
Ouyang Ming reached out and took out something, which was the jade token given by Venerable Yu Qi.
Bai Zhiyi chuckled and said: "Xiao Ou, this is Shui Wenliang, a high-level spiritual person who is quite famous in the sect." He smiled and said: "If you come to the library often in the future, you should also get to know him. ”
Ouyang Ming responded and said, "I've met Brother Shui."
Shui Wenliang's eyes swept over the jade plaque, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
As a high-level spiritual master of the Beast King Sect, he naturally recognized the origin of this jade pendant. And he knew even more that with this thing in hand, Ouyang Ming was qualified to enter and exit even those key places, not to mention the place where books were stored.
However, this boy is clearly not a disciple of the sect, so why would the Lord give him such convenience
Since he had the jade pendant as proof, Shui Wenliang naturally did not dare to interfere and personally took them to the mountain and sent them to the library.
Bai Zhiyi gently stroked his long beard and asked, "Xiao Ou, what do you want to see?"
Ouyang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "I want to see the art of forging."
"Okay." Bai Zhiyi was not polite and took him directly to an attic. Pointing to the densely packed books on it, he said, "Here are all the books related to blacksmithing in the sect." He paused. He looked at Ouyang Ming thoughtfully and said, "I can only take you here. Whatever you need, you can see for yourself. How much you can learn from it depends on your own opportunities."
Although he was optimistic about Ouyang Ming, this boy was not a disciple of the sect after all. Although he had the permission of His Holiness, he could enter the library to study. But if he were to personally guide it, it would be inappropriate.
Ouyang Ming nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, senior."
Being able to receive such courtesy was beyond his expectation. How could he dare to ask for anything else
Bai Zhiyi confessed, turned and left.
After leaving the library, Shui Wenliang immediately came up to him and said, "Brother Bai, who is that person? Why is he so respected?"
Bai Zhiyi pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Shui, you should know the meaning of this jade pendant."
Shui Wenliang smiled bitterly and said: "Who in the sect doesn't know this? This jade pendant is equivalent to the venerable Lord's personal visit."
"That's it." Bai Zhiyi chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, this young man is not an ordinary person, and he has not joined any sect."
Shui Wen's conscience moved slightly and he said in surprise: "Are you saying that in order to attract him to join, His Majesty gave him the jade pendant and allowed him to do things easily?"
"Yes." Bai Zhiyi said solemnly: "If we can't let him understand the power of our Beast King Sect, how can he be tempted?"
Shui Wenliang looked disapproving. The Beast King Sect was one of the nine human sects in Danzhou, and it also had stronger backers in the spiritual world. Such a sect has an irresistible attraction for those casual cultivators.
When he thought about it, as long as the sect revealed a little bit of information, the casual cultivators who wanted to join would definitely be able to line up from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
No matter how talented that young man is, he cannot be worthy of such treatment by His Holiness.
Bai Zhiyi shook his head gently and said, "Brother Shui, I know you don't believe it, but His Majesty's jade pendant can't be fake, right?" For the sake of His Majesty, you should also be careful about this matter. Haha, if you mess up His Majesty's affairs, you should know what the consequences will be."
Shui Wenliang's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said: "Brother Bai, don't worry, I will never miss your business."
Bai Zhiyi was right. Regardless of Ou Yangming's origins, since His Holiness valued him so much, he had no room for objection. Moreover, holding the jade pendant of His Holiness means that His Majesty is here in person. If he dares to be disrespectful, the consequences will never be something he can bear.
However, when he turned to look at the library, the high-level spiritual master was still full of doubts.
Could it be that this young man is the illegitimate son of His Holiness
※※※※
Ouyang Ming looked at the boxes of books, his eyes faintly glowing with joy.
He glanced down the catalog one by one, and within a moment he had already selected three books. Take out the book, put it on the table in the attic and read quietly.
There are also rules in the library pavilion. As long as the sect disciples pay a certain price, they can enter and watch. However, the books here can only be read here, but cannot be taken out of the library.
At this time, there was not only Ouyang Ming in this side hall, but also several sect blacksmiths.
When they first saw Bai Zhiyi, they all stood up and saluted solemnly. After Bai Zhiyi left, they cast suspicious eyes on Ouyang Ming.
Because they really couldn't figure out who this young man was, he actually wanted Bai Zhiyi to accompany him here.
You know, among all the blacksmiths of the Beast King Sect, Bai Zhiyi's status and strength can be ranked among the top five. Even the sect leader is polite when facing him, without any trace of anger. Negligent.
Although their eyes did not always follow Ouyang Ming, they were quite concerned about the books he chose.
However, when they saw these books, their faces showed incredible surprise. Because the books Ouyang Ming chose were the most basic books on blacksmithing.
The contents of these books are not complicated. They can only be said to be the basics of the basics. A large part of them can even be found in ordinary human bookstores.
A young man who was personally accompanied by Bai Zhiyi was actually reading these ordinary books. This was far from what they expected.
After they left the library, they immediately spread the word.
Not surprisingly, Bai Zhiyi also received this news. When he learned about Ouyang Ming's choice, a look of satisfaction appeared on his lips.
Although this little guy has a strong forging talent, he is able to forge high-quality magic weapons without systematic study. But even so, he never had the slightest bit of pride. Once he had the chance, he would learn from scratch.
Such a character is even rarer than his talent.
Such a person will surely become a great person in the future.
