Among the many fourth-generation disciples of the Lichen Sect, Zhou Yu is undoubtedly a legendary figure. Although Yu Ci had arrived in the mountain not long ago, he still heard about this senior brother's deeds from different channels, the most classic of which was the origin of the three scars on his face.
It is said that these three scars are from when Zhou Yu was young and frivolous, he met a Buxu monk from the Northern Demon Sect when he was walking down the mountain. At that time, Zhou Yu had just entered the realm of Dan Huan. Naturally, he was no match for him, and he was used almost by others. The humiliating way left three scars on his face. Zhou Yu fled back with his life, already dying.
Many people in the mountain sect thought that Zhou Yu would inevitably fail, but they didn’t expect that in just ten years, Zhou Yu would break into the Arctic Demon Sect alone and lurk for two years, successfully killing the Demon Sect monk who had humiliated him. And in that battle, he broke through and successfully ascended to the Buxu realm, shocking the world.
Zhou Yu became famous in the first battle. Logically speaking, these marks of shame should be washed away from his face. Skin and flesh wounds do not put any pressure on monks. There are dozens or hundreds of ways to eliminate scars, but Zhou Yu and others He had a different idea. He intentionally left three scars on his face to remind himself at all times that he would no longer be arrogant and coquettish in his practice. His personality became calm and quiet, and he was valued by the elders of the sect.
It was only after Yu Ci moved into Wanfa Jingshe that he understood the temper of this senior brother. However, he became more and more confused about why this senior senior brother was prejudiced against him. After returning, Yu Ci was not worried that Zhou Yu was deliberately making things difficult for him, but felt that it would be difficult to correct his impression after having a "misunderstanding" with such a powerful person.
With Zhou Yu's status, it was naturally impossible for him to deal with Yu Ci in public, either with good intentions or with bad intentions. He just glanced here, then turned back and continued to listen to Lan Ke Pavilion. Debate between two monks.
Even so, none of the monks on Qiping Peak are extremely sensitive to Qi movements. Zhou Yu is one of the most outstanding among the four generations of disciples on the peak. Every move he makes falls behind others. In his eyes, the instant eye contact with Yu Ci could not be hidden. After he turned his head, several more eyes from different directions turned around Yu Ci, all looking a little curious.
Yu Ci chuckled inwardly, and regardless of anything else, he stood up and prepared to descend the peak according to the previous plan. After taking only two steps, darkness fell over his head again. When he looked up, he saw a big bird flying in the sky above Qiping Peak. Its wingspan was more than three feet long, and its feathers were all green. In the sunlight, There seems to be a layer of light cyan halo underneath, which is very eye-catching.
Yu Ci recognized this as a very popular flying mount in the Lichen Sect. It was called Tianqingniao. Legend has it that it was the descendant of the fairy bird Qingluan. If calculated based on the good deeds of the Zhenzheng Department, it was worth a lot of money. Anyone who can travel on this kind of mount must have some status in the mountain gate. Yu Ci thought that there should be a monk coming to participate in the debate conference, so he didn't pay attention and continued to walk down the mountain.
But before they had gone far, someone called from behind: "Is this Junior Brother Yu Ciyu down there?"
Yu Ci looked back in shock. That day the bluebird had already fluttered its long wings and came down, and stopped steadily in an open space. A man jumped down from it. He was tall and thin, with a very elegant appearance. When he shouted, many people on the mountain peak jumped out. Everyone looked away, and Yu Ci keenly discovered that some people here had a slightly bigger reaction.
The visitor has a good identity!
Yu Ci quickly made a judgment, but he didn't say anything special. He just asked curiously: "I am Yu Ci. What is your name for this senior brother?"
The visitor smiled slightly and said in a very friendly manner: "I am Zhao Fu from the Academic Department. I am here to run errands for the teacher. I would like to invite Junior Brother Yu to meet me at Lingxiao Pavilion."
After a pause, he added: "Junior Sister Meng is also there."
Yu Ci could not find a reason to refuse Zhao Fu's invitation, so he readily agreed, and at Zhao Fu's invitation, he boarded the back of the Azure Bird and went back the way he had come.
Before leaving, he looked down at the peak and saw that half of the more than a hundred people were looking this way, including Senior Brother Zhou Yu.
************
Yu Ci had already passed Lingxiao Pavilion on the way to Qibing Peak, but had not actually been inside. This time, he took the Azure Bird and landed directly on the seventh floor platform of Lingxiao Pavilion. Peering in through the crack in the door, Yu Ci only saw rows of bookshelves, as well as those books and scriptures of inestimable value.
There are twenty-seven floors in Lingxiao Pavilion. Each floor stores hundreds of thousands of books. These books are of varying degrees of rarity. They are either recorded on jade slips, or written on special paper or silk. They are classified into categories and arranged in rows. Neatly arranged for the disciples to read. Except for the important place on the twenty-seventh floor, most of the books here have no reading restrictions. Therefore, they are extremely popular. They are borrowed and borrowed very frequently, which naturally requires specialized personnel to manage and guide them.
What Yu Ci met this time was such an old man who was responsible for managing the access of books.
Of course, this identity was introduced by the old man himself, and whether it was Zhao Fu who picked him up or Meng Wei who had been waiting here early, they were very respectful to the old man and called him "Mr. Zhu", but they No mention of seniority.
Although this old Mr. Zhu asked Zhao Fu to pick up Yu Ci, when Yu Ci walked up to him, he still had something to do, which was to number several newly added books to the cabinet. He narrowed his eyes and did it. He was very serious. Apart from greeting Yu Ci at the beginning, he only responded with a couple of "ums" to Yu Ci.
Zhao Fu also said goodbye after sending Yu Ci, while Meng Wei had a meticulous character. Seeing that Mr. Zhu seemed a little indifferent, he reminded him in his ear, but the response was still "Yeah" God knows if this old man with silver hair and wrinkles on his face heard it.
In desperation, Meng Wei smiled bitterly at Yu Ci, but Yu Ci's eyes lit up.
"Sister Meng, your injury is better?"
Since the rumors spread, Yu Ci has not seen Mengwei for nearly ten days. When they met now, he immediately found that the complexion of the female cultivator was quite different from before, and it had changed for the better, especially the bright eyes. The inner light shows that the Qi within the body has gathered on a large scale.
"I have benefited a lot from my junior brother."
Mengwei smiled slightly and thanked Yu Ci again. Then he took out the red gauze that had been borrowed for half a month, folded it neatly, and handed it back to Yu Ci.
Yu Ci reached out to take it and asked at the same time: "Sister, have you finished transcribing it?"
"More than just copying, didn't the little guy see the scroll in my hand?"
Mr. Zhu finally finished the work at hand and interrupted. He was holding a long silk roll that had just been **** in his hand. He had a very strange look on his face: "I have already entered the Dharma door you sent me. Filed in the pavilion, ready to be placed on the 27th floor. Do you have any objections?"
Yu Ci was stunned. Then he realized that Mengwei had told the sect the "secret" of Hongsha. Of course, this had been expected by Yu Ci. He really wanted to know what the sect knew about Hongsha's secret. , how is the evaluation?
Yu Ci has two pieces of this type of red gauze just returned to Yu Ci. One is the "Bailing Huamangsha" left by Chu Yan. Yu Ci pocketed this gauze after killing Chu Yan, Fulong and others. The other thing was acquired earlier, when he got it from Nan Songzi on the mountain road at Zhixin Guanwai. This piece of red gauze was sacrificed and refined into an evil weapon in the early years. Later, Gan Shizhen erased the traces of the evil method and restored it to its original state.
The one lent to Mengwei was the one he got from Nan Songzi.
"It should be filed in the pavilion, but the twenty-seventh floor?" Yu Ci was very surprised. Is this treasure so valuable that it ranks alongside the sect's practice secrets?
Mr. Zhu narrowed his eyes - this was probably the old man's habit, and said slowly and calmly: "My own value is not that high, but I am going the wrong way and taking shortcuts. Young people may not be able to control it after seeing it. There is no place safer than the twenty-seventh floor."
Yu Ci was not surprised at all by what Mr. Zhu said. As the owner of the two pieces of red gauze, he had considerable knowledge of the methods recorded with unique patterns on them, and he also agreed with the old man's words.
The God-killing Thorn, which is known as "indestructible to all things", is a peerless "hidden weapon" that takes tens to hundreds of years to warm and cultivate. Normally, it may not be seen once in hundreds of years, but if it can be seen in just a few years, It took months or even days to produce, and it was like cow hair flying all over the sky. Thinking about that scene makes people feel chilly.
But the two pieces of red gauze in Yu Ci’s hands are talking about this kind of thing!

Embarrassed, half an hour late, I paused, covered my face and left.
