Chapter 5, Tibetan Heart Pavilion
After leaving the residence of the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Mo looked back at the purple courtyard, and a faint sarcasm flashed through his eyes.
But he didn't say anything. He turned around and his expression returned to normal, and then quickly walked towards the place where the family's Zangxin Pavilion was.
The Xiao family's Heart Pavilion is located in the middle courtyard of the Xiao Mansion. It is located in the center of the Xiao Mansion and is a place that is more important than the residence of the clan leader. Because there are countless secrets of mind cultivation collected by the powerful men of the Xiao family over the past hundreds of years and various rare treasures.
These secrets of mind cultivation and rare treasures are the foundation of a family's inheritance, so the prevention is the most tight. Most people do not have the opportunity to enter without explicit orders.
Even if the elders of the family have a certain opportunity, in addition to some specific opportunities, if they want to enter Zangxin Pavilion to read secret books or exchange treasures, they need to make considerable achievements or pay a certain price.
The fragrant wood technique that Xiao Mo wanted, as well as high-quality practices such as the Sun and Moon Bright Sutra, were all included.
Not long after leaving the backyard, Xiao Mo came to a huge white marble square.
In a corner of the square, a five-story black building stands, which looks inconspicuous. Compared with the many high-rise buildings of the Xiao family, it is not worth mentioning, but there is a clan who is at the peak of the Qiwu Realm, which shows the family's attention.
Obviously, this is the family’s Zangxin Pavilion.
Xiao Mo slowed down and waited for a while. Sure enough, not long after, the footsteps sounded behind him, and the Xiao family deacon chased after him.
After seeing Xiao Mo, he accelerated his pace several times again, and finally chased behind Xiao Mo. Even though his cultivation level had reached the fifth level of Xiaoyao Realm, he still couldn't help but feel a little angry after running for a short period of time, which made his face a little red.
As soon as he arrived in front of Xiao Mo, he couldn't help but shouted angrily at Xiao Mo: "Why are you running so fast? Zangxin Pavilion won't run away, so I'll trot all the way."
Xiao Mo glanced at him lightly and said nothing.
For some reason, the difference in realms was clearly 100,000 miles apart, so it was supposed that Deacon Xiao had an absolute advantage in front of Xiao Mo. But when Xiao Mo glanced at his eyes, he felt like he was soaked in ice and snow, and he shivered inexplicably, which made his momentum weaker in an instant.
"Hell."
He muttered in a low voice, not believing that he would be frightened by a half-orched body that had just entered the fourth level of meditation. He thought it was an illusion. After saying that, he stretched his left hand reluctantly, and a black token that looked like iron but not iron, like gold but not gold appeared in his palm, and handed it to Xiao Mo.
"Give it, this is the token given to you by the patriarch. Without this token, you will not be able to enter even if you get here."
"Um."
Xiao Mo nodded lightly, reached out to take it, and his eyes fell on the token.
I saw that the surface was embroidered with a golden silk pattern, the front was engraved with a word "因" and the back was engraved with a word "因". It was the token of the Xiao family's entrance to the heart pavilion.
He looked at the Xiao family deacon deeply. Xiao Mo stared at his face for a moment, and then said, "Thank you."
After saying that, he ignored the Xiao family deacon, walked straight past him, walked to the black pavilion, raised the token with his left hand, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Mo, a son of the Xiao family, please go to Zangxin Pavilion to see with the permission of the patriarch!"
In the dark, several gazes suddenly shot over and landed on the black token. After several mental consciousnesses were shot, an old and low voice sounded: "The token is correct, enter!"
With the sound of words and amid the "crunch", the closed black iron gate slowly opened, revealing a passage for one person to walk.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo's heartbeat accelerated slightly. Although he knew that he would be able to enter with the token, this was his first and perhaps the last time he stepped into the Xiao family's heart pavilion, so he had to be excited and nervous.
This is all the books of mind cultivation collected by the Xiao family for hundreds of years, as well as a large number of rare treasures, and it is also the key to Xiao Mo's official opening of the door to mind cultivation.
He suppressed his mood, his face became calm again, and he couldn't see what he was thinking, so he raised his steps and slowly stepped into it.
When Xiao Mo's thin figure stepped into it without hesitation, the black iron gate behind him slowly closed again, leaving only the door with envy, but had to wait bored by the Xiao family deacon who was waiting for Xiao Mo to get out of the house.
This is the task assigned to him by the patriarch Xiao Baiqi. In tonight, no matter where Xiao Mo goes, he must follow him closely and not give him the chance to leave alone.
This is the mission that the patriarch secretly gave him. Of course, it is said to be protection in the name of the name, but secretly it is to monitor him and not to escape, so he must follow him.
As for entering the family's Zangxin Pavilion, even he, a second-level deacon, only had one chance. Now, this boy who is only in the fourth level of meditation can enter it in advance, which naturally makes him envious.
Fortunately, he also received the promise from the patriarch. If the difference today is correct, three days later, he would be allowed to enter the Zangxin Pavilion and choose a secret book at will within the second floor. So after envying, he would just sneer.
"You just be crazy. After tomorrow, there will be no Xiao Mo in the world."
After saying that, he couldn't help but stand there and sneer.
He is the confidant of the leader of the Xiao family. He knows very well about the fact that Xiao Shenjian sneaked into Bai Xinqiu, the second young master of the Bai family, robbed Ziyang Qixincao, and mistakenly caused him to die seriously. Naturally, he knows that Xiao Mo is the scapegoat found by the leader Xiao Baiqi.
However, this matter cannot be said to anyone, and he can only keep silent. But for Xiao Mo, who may die at the hands of the Bai family tomorrow, he naturally does not need any respect and pity, and even sympathy.
His next task was to guard Xiao Mo and let him not have any problems tonight. As long as the Xiao family successfully sent someone to the Bai family tomorrow, it would be a great contribution to him.
As for whether Xiao Mo died or lived or not, what does it have to do with him?
...
Xiao Mo entered Zangxin Pavilion, and the light around him suddenly became dark.
Before he could even look at the arrangements around the Zangxin Pavilion, a low and dumb voice suddenly came from the depths of the darkness: "Boy, the second-level Zangxin Order in your hand is a special token, which can be viewed at the first to second floor for an hour, and go to Qizhen Hall to choose a low-level soul treasure that is no more than the third level. Your time is limited, so take it seriously!"
"Um?"
Xiao Mo suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards the depths of the darkness.
However, there were black faunas and there was no trace of sound. He immediately understood that the elder of the family guarding Zangxin Pavilion was warning him, so he didn't take it seriously. He smiled coldly, raised his steps slightly, and walked inside.
Under your feet is a slightly shimmering golden passage, boundless, as if formed by a formation. The innermost part of the passage is the real importance of Zangxin Pavilion and the place where various secrets are collected, which are divided into five layers.
The first layer is a virtual level lower-grade secret book, the second layer is a virtual level middle-grade secret book, and the third layer is a virtual level upper-grade secret book.
As for the higher fourth and fifth levels, there are respectively placed at the peak virtual level and the lower spiritual level secrets.
But there are not many secret books in the entire Xiao family that can reach this level. There are only four or five books at the peak of the virtual level, and there is only one lower-level spiritual level, which is the Xiao family's clan-controlling technique "Hundred Refining Cloud Hand", which is an attack-type secret technique.
Xiao Baiqi, the leader of the Xiao family, practiced the Bailian Cloud Hand, which had reached the level of great success.
There are only three secret books for the four major families in Yangcheng, one of which is the attack-type secret technique of the Xiao family, "Hundred Refining Cloud Hand", the second is the Wang family's "Thunder Xuanfeng Jue", which belongs to the mind method, and the third is the Bai family's Yinliuwai secret book, which belongs to an extremely rare body-type secret book.
The Li family among the four families does not have a spiritual secret, so they have the lowest status in the entire Yangcheng. However, their patriarch has a rare three-orches spiritual sword heart and has cultivated the peak "Zhen Xuan Sword Technique" of their family to the level of fire perfection. Therefore, in terms of strength, it is not inferior to the other three major families at all.
The Heart Saint Continent, the practice techniques and various secret techniques are divided into the fourth level of the Void Spirit Tao. The Void Level is the lowest level, belonging to the public first-class level, and basically there are many families with a little reputation, while the Spirit Level belongs to the upper-middle level secret level. Only families with a certain status can own one or two books. It is impossible to cover everything.
As for the secrets at the Taoist level or above, only the academies at the state level or above can have them, and mortals cannot touch them at all.
The Taoist level is the true level. The true level secret book has already involved the mystery of the heart. There are not many books in the entire Heart Saint Continent, all of which are mastered by the masters of the Nine Domain and the heads of the top academic palaces. You can imagine how powerful and noble they are.
Xiao Mo came here this time with a very clear goal. He was not qualified to enter the third level of Zangxin Pavilion and could only read it on the first and second level. Therefore, the first step was to memorize the two high-level skills that entered the state of meditation, the low-level "Fragrant Wood Practice" of the virtual level and the medium-level "Sun and Moon Bright Sutra" before talking about it.
If he has the opportunity, he can still have a little more time left. He will look at other attack or defense secret techniques. This is also the capital he must rely on to protect himself after today.
As for Qizhen Hall, it was a surprise. Unexpectedly, the token given to him by the leader of the Xiao family was extraordinary, and the ordinary Heart-Secret Order was not qualified to go to Qizhen Hall to select treasures.
However, thinking that this might be just the last bit of pity from the head of the Xiao family to him, it would be better to say that he would pay attention to it on purpose, but in fact, it would make him let go of his guard. Xiao Mo couldn't help but smiled coldly, and didn't take it to heart.
"You just take it for me. Just for this little favor, I really want me to die for you. That's a fool."
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo did not stop anymore and was unwilling to waste time. He just casually looked at the layout of the first floor, then took a step forward and walked directly towards the middle secret recipe of the mind method.
The entire Xiao Family Collection Heart Pavilion is about 80 feet square, not big. There are three bookshelfs in total, with attack-type secret techniques on the left, defense-type on the right, and heart-type in the middle.
There are six practice techniques in the Xiao family's low-level cultivation level. Three of them are practice techniques in the Xiaoyao Realm, two are in the same world realm, and only one is the basic practice technique in the state of meditation, that is, Xiangmu Gong.
Xiao Mo just casually searched through it and found the inconspicuous light green secret book from the six secret books. This is the low-level virtual cultivation method he needed, Xiangmu Technique.
The highest level of Xiangmu Technique can only be practiced to the Great Perfection of Entry into Samadhi. There is no explanation for how to break through to the Xiaoyao Realm. No wonder it is ranked at the lowest level of the virtual level. However, this technique has its own special features.
The difference between it and the song of the Great Way of Entering Meditation is that it does not focus on understanding from the mind, but goes deeper from the mind, but instead takes a different approach and emphasizes the use of external objects to enter higher-level meditation, so it is considered a quick-forming practice of entering the state of meditation.
Xiao Mo immediately opened the first page and started to recite silently.
Fortunately, this secret book does not have many words. After all, it is just a superficial technique to enter the state of meditation. Xiao Mo is a soul from later generations and understands it very quickly. In just one stick of incense, he memorizes it almost exactly.
After writing it down, Xiao Mo closed his eyes and quickly reviewed it in his mind. He confirmed that there were no mistakes. He turned around and walked up to the second floor of Zangxin Pavilion without hesitation.
Next to it, he didn't even look at those practice techniques in the Xiaoyao Realm, even the virtual-level low-level attack secret techniques and defense secret techniques on both sides.
In the depths of the darkness, the clan elder who had previously made a reminder exclaimed slightly in surprise. It was obvious that he had never seen such a boy.
After entering the Zangxin Pavilion, the first step of the other family disciples often looked at the attack and defense secrets, and finally picked up the mental method. Unexpectedly, this young man did the opposite, only looking at the mental method, and didn't care about those fancy attacks and defense secret techniques. After reading the mental method, he went straight to the second level without looking back.
“This is interesting.”
The old man murmured, but he didn't pay much attention.
As the elder of the family clan guarding the Zangxin Pavilion, he could not interfere with the right of disciples entering the Pavilion to choose secret books, and at most he could give advice and advice.
If others didn't listen, he thought it was too much. So when he saw Xiao Mo go up to the second floor, he was a little surprised. Then he ignored it and practiced his own skills on his own.
Guarding Zangxin Pavilion is a chore, but it is also the most suitable place for practice.
Because there is basically no one disturbing me here, I can truly see my true heart, so that I can only discover my inner strength as soon as possible.
ps: First update, thank you to the ordinary magician for the reward of 100 red envelopes, the snake-killer, Fan Shaosong, who is smart like me, thank you!
