Chapter 323: Lights on Earth and Stars in Heaven(1/2)
It was almost getting dark, so Qiu Ji got off the sedan chair, holding a brocade box in his hands, and walked hurriedly to the treasury.
After the guard outside the first door verified his identity, he took a few steps closer and walked into the inner room. He began to apologize from afar: "Master Jiang, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long! I was in the palace asking for orders and documents. It took a lot of time to get here!"
He is one of the eight eunuchs who are in charge of rituals, and his status in the palace is not inferior to that of the other eight eunuchs. Only in this way can he be qualified to get the keys to the treasury.
Although there is no comparison with the eunuch Han Ling, he is also a relatively high-ranking figure among the internal officials.
I apologized as soon as I met you, and explained the reason for my late arrival in a few words, which is very typical of my handling style.
Logically speaking, the internal official system has nothing to do with external officials, and there is no need for him to be so polite to a fourth-grade Qingpai. However, the title of "The Prodigy of the Country" is hard to say, and he may reach any position in the future. .
The treasury guard guarding the gate was not surprised at all, and he only kept his thoughts deep in his heart.
Jiang Wang withdrew from the contemplation of the art of the fire realm. He was no longer anxious about waiting all afternoon, and smiled: "It doesn't matter. I know that some rules take a lot of time to follow."
The internal official who appeared in front of him was a little thin, but had gentle features and a rosy complexion. He must have good cultivation, and his status in the palace would not be much worse.
Jiang Wang did not look rudely up and down, but after one glance, he looked calmly into his eyes.
“It would be great if you can understand!” Qiu Ji smiled and said: “Then let’s go in now without delaying your practice.”
“Please go first.” Jiang Wang said politely.
Speaking of which, Qiu Ji has seen a lot of high-ranking officials and famous people, but it is still rare to find someone like Jiang Wang who is neither arrogant nor impetuous.
He could see that the other person had to be gentle not because of his lack of background. On the contrary, he had a firm self-confidence, as if he was ready to face everything at any time, so he could be so calm.
As the eunuch Bingbi, who is the Supervisor of Ceremonies, he has many opportunities to go out of the palace to do things. Among the people he has met, there are also people who came from a poor background but became famous in one fell swoop. They often want to prove themselves more than the others, and they especially cannot bear to be treated indifferently.
Jiang Qingyang is really different.
But these thoughts were only in Church's mind.
After Qiuji arrived here, he took out the seal and verified his identity. Only then could the second door of the treasury be opened. However, he didn't see the doorkeeper, and he didn't know where he was hiding it.
Following Qiuji, after entering, you will see an iron wall with various unnamed strange beasts embossed on it. There are alleys and corners on both sides.
They were walking on the left.
What Qiuji held in the brocade box was half of the imperial seal. The other half, in the hands of the guardian of the "Shuku", needed to be mobilized with the help of the writing issued by the Supervisor of Ceremonies. This was also what Qiuji said, "requesting orders and requesting documents is a waste of time."
A lot of time" reasons.
Jiang Wang followed the eunuch Bingbi and let him deal with various inspections.
In short, it was a confusing and tedious walk around, and finally we arrived at the corresponding art library door.
After the seals of Qiu Ji and the guardian of the warehouse were matched, the door of the warehouse was slowly opened.
It is not as tall or grand as imagined.
There are only rows of stone shelves, displaying books of various sizes and materials. Of course, there are also some jade inscriptions, jade slips, bamboo slips and the like.
Categorized into categories and arranged neatly one by one.
There is no dust. The collections here are regularly maintained, replaced, and supplemented, and the large and small protective arrays here are enough to ensure that they will last for a long time.
“This is where the magic library of the Neifu realm is located.” Qiu Ji introduced: “You can choose from among them.”
The guardian of this magic library was wrapped in armor, and could not see anything except a pair of eyes. He did not speak, and just followed Qiu Ji and Jiang Wang silently. It seemed that he was just supervising.
It is good to have any choice, but there are so many choices that it can be confusing...
Jiang Wang looked around for a while, but didn't see the type of secret technique he wanted.
Qiu Ji stood aside and suddenly smiled and said: "Before I came here, I had a little understanding of the magic here. If Lord Jiang believes in me, you might as well tell me your request."
"This couldn't be better! I trust my father-in-law." Of course, Jiang Wang had no reason to refuse, and immediately said sincerely: "I want a pupil technique."
Qiu Ji smiled, and without hesitation for a breath, he walked forward and walked to the twenty-seventh row of bookshelves before he stopped and said, "These are all eye skills at the inner level."
Jiang Wang came over and took a look. Sure enough, on this row of stone bookshelves, there were all kinds of secret books on eye skills.
Whether it is a book or a jade sign, it is naturally not allowed to read it directly. For many practitioners, if they have read it, they have learned it.
However, next to each pupil technique, there is a wooden plaque, which roughly records the origin and approximate effect of the secret technique.
For example, the bamboo slip in front of Jiang Wang has the inscription on the wooden tablet: "Obtained by attacking Yang, the Yang family's Burning Blood Red Eyes Neifu Chapter, the technique of attacking."
What a wonderful fate...
Jiang Wang participated in the Battle to Destroy Yang and was awarded a title for his military service. Now in the treasury of Qi State, he saw the secret book of eye skills of the Yang Dynasty royal family. It seems that there is a kind of entanglement in the dark.
Of course, this pupil technique did not suit his liking.
The Yangguo royal family's secret skills are definitely not weak. However, Jiang Wang's priority now is the pupil technique similar to Li Longchuan's Zhuwei magical power, in order to complement the voice-hearing immortal state and complete the "knowledge" part.
But with so many secret techniques, I look at them one by one, but I don’t know when they were…
Jiang Wang sighed in his heart and searched silently with his eyes.
Qiu Ji, who was observing his words, smiled again and said: "What type of eye surgery does Lord Jiang need, or if you have any more specific requirements, you might as well tell me. I know a little bit about this place."
Jiang Wang did not reject this kind offer. He had already thought about his needs in his mind and said directly: "I need pupil skills to strengthen my insight ability. Under this category, priority will be given to pupil skills with greater potential."
The requirement to have potential is naturally to prepare for the deduction of the Taoist stage. Although Jiang Wang has never learned the pupil technique, the pupil technique at the inner palace level may not be of much help to his current strength.
So he thought further.
For the Taoist stage to deduce secret skills to a higher level, it also requires that the secret skills themselves have a certain potential. Low-level Tao skills such as swallowing poisonous stings will reach their peak after deducing to swallowing poisonous flowers. No matter how much power is consumed, it cannot be improved.
, the potential only goes so far.
This time Church thought for a moment, then took three steps forward and clicked on the third row of the bookshelf on the left, "This door."
He walked forward for more than ten steps and clicked on the fourth row of the bookshelf on the right, "This door."
Take another two steps forward and point diagonally at the top of the bookshelf on the right, "This door."
Finally he stopped and said with a smile: "These three doors all meet your requirements. Considering the potential, it is best to choose the second door."
Jiang Wang followed them one by one and felt that the three eye skills introduced by him were indeed very good and met his requirements.
Otherwise, with so many internal officials, Qiu Ji could be one of the eight eunuchs with pens in charge of the ceremony!
How does this mean he has some knowledge? He simply knows all the secrets in the inner realm's magic arsenal.
With his status and age, it is impossible for him to learn all the secret arts in the entire inner palace arsenal. So he probably just memorized the brief information on the wooden plaques.
Perhaps the only value of doing this is to show kindness to someone at this time.
There are eight eunuchs in the Kesi Lijian and eight eunuchs in the palace, all of whom are qualified to go out of the palace to do things. Even if the emperor wants to reward someone, he may not be the one to lead the way.
It is precisely because this matter is so expensive and difficult to get a favor that it just shows Church's intentions. He has done so well in this kind of thing, so what about other things?
Jiang Wang admired in his heart and thanked him on his face.
These secret techniques cannot be read now. At best, they can only be compared with a brief introduction. From this point of view, the second pupil technique recommended by Church is indeed the one with the most potential.
Since you have accepted Qiuji's recommendation, it would seem very distrustful to look around again. Jiang Wang would naturally not do this.
So after looking at the wooden sign for the second pupil skill, he turned his head and prepared to announce his choice to the guardian of the skill library.
At this moment, Qiu Ji suddenly said: "Master Jiang, I have an opinion. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"
Jiang Wang was also very polite: "It's my honor that my father-in-law is willing to make some suggestions. Please tell me."
Qiu Ji rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "I personally think that the most valuable pupil technique in this library at present should be the one behind me... but it may not meet your requirements."
“Eunuch Qiu introduced it, I must take a look.” Jiang Wang said and walked over.
From the beginning to the end, the guardian of the library did not say a word. He stopped like a sculpture cast here and did not interfere in any way with Jiang Wang's choice.
Churchi smiled and turned away half-way.
And Jiang Wang followed his gaze and saw a fiery red bead placed on a stone tray.
This red pearl is smooth and round, with a bright and uniform color, and is extremely beautiful.
The wooden sign next to it reads: "One of the scattered inheritances of the Yang Kingdom, the Eyes of Qianyang. The Inner Palace Chapter."
As for the effect, the description is also very simple.
“Soul attack.”
Just these four characters.
These four words immediately made Jiang Wang’s eyes light up.
You can participate in the secrets of the soul attack in the inner government. Jiang Wang so far, only Wang Changji has seen it!
He himself has developed the Divine Soul Hidden Snake, but it is basically only effective in exploring the inner palace. In real life and death fights, it rarely plays any role. Most of it is used by Jiang Wang to attract the opponent's attention.
In other words, as a killing technique involving the divine soul, the Divine Soul Concealing Snake is simply unqualified.
Jiang Wang took a deep breath. At this moment, of course he had already judged the value, any insights, observations... and put them all aside.
Compared to the Soul Killing Technique, the Insight Eye Technique at the inner government level really has no comparative value.
Furthermore, Jiang Wang's soul power is far superior to that of fellow monks, but he has always been unable to fully exert it, which is perfect for this technique!
“Does it have a complete inheritance in the treasury?” Jiang Wang asked directly.
Qiuji smiled and said: "There is also a Wailou chapter. As for the chapter after the arrival of the gods, it has been lost...Whether it is in terms of potential or effect, it is the best pupil technique in the current arsenal of techniques."
To be continued...
