Chapter 286: Earth Dragon Turning Over
"Recently, I've been a bit confused about the cultivation of arts, so I'm just taking a look."
Seeing Old Man Wu ask, fearing that he would be suspicious, Meng Fan simply answered, and casually flipped through a dozen more books before calling it quits.
"It wouldn't hurt to look around more, the more subtle books are on the upper floors." Old man Wu raised his head and glanced upstairs, "The third to sixth floors require inner disciple status to enter, and the collection of books is naturally better than here, while the seventh to eighth floors require core disciple status to enter, and the books are naturally even better, little friend Meng, you need to step up your game!"
"The path of cultivation, a carrot, can't be rushed." Meng Fan laughed and asked carelessly, "So what's put on the ninth floor?"
"The ninth floor ……" Old man Wu shook his head and whispered, "I don't know about the ninth floor, only the Goddess of Mercy can go in."
Seeing that old man Wu didn't say, he thought that there must be some secret inside, Meng Fan also no longer asked, just quietly left a heart, maybe the Soul Born Dan that he wanted to get was up there, he must secretly go up and explore it when he had the chance.
"Let alone the ninth floor, even if it's above the third floor, old man I can't go up there." Old man Wu laughed mockingly, "The third floor and above, all have specialized guardians, the old man is just responsible for the acreage below the third floor."
"Oh." Meng Fan's heart sank, he had thought that through his relationship with Old Man Wu, even if he didn't advance to the Inner Sect, he should have the opportunity to go up and sneakily view some of them, but now it seems there is no chance.
"Promoting to the Inner Sect …… seems to be included in the plan."
With that, an imperceptible smile appeared on Meng Fan's complexion, and after chatting with Old Man Wu for a few sentences, he took his leave, and in the days after that, he came to the Scripture Building a few times under the same pretext, and in addition to drinking tea and chatting with Old Man Wu, he read pretty much all of the books on the first floor and the second floor, and on the third floor, he couldn't get up there, but there were the occasional Inner Sect Disciple that went up there, but they just couldn't see the guardian inside, which gave a mysterious feeling.
This night, the night was penetrating, the sky was dotted with stars, and a crescent moon hung in the night sky, clear and cold.
"The first half of the night is spent digesting those Heart Dharma Dao Scriptures, and the second half of the night is spent cultivating and exhaling to enhance your strength."
Archmage Zimu's threat was like a sword hanging over his heart, giving Meng Fan incomparable motivation, those books on the first and second floors, there were Taoist Mind Techniques as well as classic Taoist writings, which were very beneficial to cultivation, lately, he was incomparably diligent, his cultivation and insights were incomparable, and his realm had already been cultivated to the late stage of the fourth level of Spirit Condensation, and he was only a hair's breadth away from a Great Perfection.
Once he breaks through to the fifth level of Spirit Condensation and jumps through the Dragon Gate, his strength will rise to a new level, and then he will step into a new world, possessing the qualifications to move towards the Earth Xuan Mai realm.
He secretly speculated that with the miraculousness of the Heavenly Dipper Destroying God Dao Scripture, as long as he broke through to the seventh level of Spirit Condensation, he shouldn't be in too much of a lousy situation when he met Archmage Zimu again.
"Rumble!"
Just as he was digesting the Dao Arts Heart Technique he had peeked at in his mind, there was a sudden muffled sound coming from the ground, and the vibrations kept on going, as if something was blowing up in the mountain, and then someone ran into the courtyard, vaguely saying that there was an earthquake.
To be on the safe side, Meng Fan also stepped out of the room, although with his realm he wasn't afraid of the house collapsing, but it would not be good if he was smashed inside and got dusty.
"Senior Brother Meng, you have also come out."
Seeing Meng Fan come out, some of the disciples started to greet Meng Fan, since the deacon of the Merit Building was pulled down except for the last mission incident, the outer disciples changed their name to Meng Fan and called him Senior Brother, a situation that was not common in the past. Meng Fan casually greeted the crowd in a gentle manner.
"This is already the second time." A disciple lit a cigarette, spreading his hair in a bun, not like a Taoist priest, but like a rock singer now, "Does Senior Brother Meng want to smoke one?" With those words, he handed one over to Meng Fan.
Meng Fan took the cigarette and lit it up, feeling the vibration of the soles of his feet fading away, and casually asked, "The second time? When was the first time?"
"The first time was the landslide that time, I can't believe it's come a second time, some elders said that this is the earth dragon turning over, I'm afraid there's a calamity in Huyang City this year." That Taoist priest took a deep breath of smoke, the winter wind poured into his collar and he shrunk his neck.
Meng Fan happened to have just finished reading the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which has a record of the Earth Dragon, saying that there are many types of dragons, and the Earth Dragon is one of them, as the saying goes, "The Heavenly Dragon spits out mist, and the Earth Dragon turns over. The Dragon of the Sky spits out mist, the Dragon of the Earth turns over. The Dragon of the Sky frolics, the Dragon of the Earth molts."
The earth dragon turning over actually refers to earthquakes, but it is a relative myth.
More coincidentally, he also found a book of "Earth Dragon Rolling Over" on the second floor of the scripture hall, only that he hadn't learned it yet, and if it could reach the level of shaking the mountain, then it would be very powerful.
"Rumble!"
Chatting with that disciple, suddenly another burst of vibration came, and then faintly heard the sound of rocks rolling down, it should be a cave-in somewhere on the mountain.
"All disciples quickly return to their rooms, no going out!"
"All disciples quickly return to their rooms, not to go out!"
Not long after, a burst of warning sounds came from the distance, and there were messy footsteps ringing out, running towards the outside of the Taoist temple.
The disciple who was smoking looked into the distance and said in a low voice, "The core disciples are out, I'm afraid something has happened, it couldn't be that place from last time that slipped again, right?"
After that disciple finished speaking as if to himself, he hurriedly left for his room, things came to a strange end, Meng Fan frowned, swept a few eyes through the crowd, and also went back to his room.
The outside was suddenly quiet and no longer vibrated.
"I'm afraid there's some secret in here?"
Meng Fan subconsciously felt that this matter wasn't simple, otherwise he wouldn't have let the disciples not be allowed to go out, which was equivalent to a curfew, and even more so because he was an undercover identity, and with this kind of anomaly, he had to poke around a bit.
"But not being able to go out, I'm sure the outside is heavily guarded again ……"
Meng Fan paced back and forth in his room, constantly thinking of ways, the Dream Dao Technique could only Divine Travel four meters away at this time, obviously there was no way to use it, after thinking for a moment, his bright eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of strange divine color to him, and he softly murmured, "Give it a try, maybe it's possible."
"Come out!"
With a wave of his hand, Meng Fan took out a tattered paper man from within the Qiankun Pendant space, which had been destroyed by Archmage Zimu, but the material was still usable, Meng Fan quickly disassembled the paper man, and with his fingers fluttering around, he quickly staked out a palm-sized rat.
The mouse was black in color, alive and vivid, and it was dark at this time, so it wasn't easy to be noticed when put outside.
"Little mouse, don't let me down!"
This is Meng Fan's first time to tie something other than a paper man, full of anticipation to the paper man pointing the brow blood, after the divine mind is connected, running the Royal Spirit Technique, the little mouse will be released ……
