Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 305 Kneel down and apologize!

"It's just one hundred and thirty years' salary, I'll make it up to you as your disciple."

"We are a wealthy family in Qianji Pavilion. If you need money, just take it directly. If it's not enough, I will ask Lily to borrow it."

"By the way, if I do something bad next time, I will never mention your name. I will blame it all on Lao Wang."

After being turned over, Zhang Ze begged for mercy from his master.

Looking at his grinning apprentice, Li Guanqi suddenly lost his temper. He snorted coldly, "You, huh? I'm not old enough to need your support."

"Yes, yes, as the saying goes, if you want to reach for the moon, a pear tree overshadows a crabapple tree. Three hundred and eighty-one is the time to make a breakthrough, you."

Before Zhang Ze could finish his words, he was hit with a stick again.

"Stop making fun of your master with jokes. Are your ears okay?" Li Guanqi put Zhang Ze on the ground and asked him to stand properly.

"Alright, alright, Master Li from the Beast Taming Sect has brought the beast back to life." Zhang Ze showed off his new bracelet.

"Then what else do you have to do?" Old Li was a little curious when he thought of Zhang Ze's anxious look just now.

"It's about the Jade Book Tower." Seeing his master asking, Zhang Ze told his master about the Jade Book Tower.

"You should know about this." Seeing his master's expression without any surprise, Zhang Ze asked.

"Of course we know. Yu Shu Lou told us about this after Bai Tao and the others passed the 50th floor."

Old Li picked up Zhang Ze again and said, "Forget it, you can ask for the details yourself. I'll go with you."

Li Guanqi thought about it and felt that he should keep an eye on this kid to prevent him from causing any more trouble.

Over at the Jade Book Tower.

Zhang Ze hasn't been to this place for a long time, and it looks different now.

The tower is surrounded by lush vegetation, the first-floor tower base is covered with moss, and some yellow-brown parasol mushrooms grow beside the stone steps. The scenery looks ancient.

Zhang Ze couldn't help but step forward and touch the mushroom, sighing that Yu Shu Lou could now change its skin.

"Don't move." A cold male voice came from beside Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze looked back and saw a Thousand Machine Puppet dressed as the boss of Hongzhong walking out of the Jade Book Tower.

"Yushulou?" Zhang Ze asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it's me." Yu Shulou nodded and greeted Lao Li first, then looked at Zhang Ze.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Zhang Ze asked, pointing at the red spots on Yu Shulou's face.

"I found these in the Qianji Pavilion warehouse. Lily told me they were called role-playing games, or maybe even divine masks or something like that. I thought they were interesting, so I borrowed them all."

After saying that, Yu Shulou waved his hand, and the red on his face turned into nine cakes. His red clothes disappeared, replaced by a black jacket.

After changing into another set of clothes, Yu Shulou pointed at the place where Zhang Ze's hand had been touching and said, "Don't touch that?"

"Did you grow this?" Zhang Ze stood up and took his hand away from the mushroom.

Yu Shulou, "No, I don't let you touch it because it's what Maomao peed out. That thing is dog urine moss."

Zhang Ze, “.”

After pretending nothing had happened, Zhang Ze and Li Guanqi were let into the building.

A lot of chairs and furniture were added to the empty hall on the first floor. In the southeast corner of the hall, a large number of Thousand Machine Puppets for Yu Shu Lou cosplay were arranged in several rows, looking like burial figurines.

Around the pillar in the center of the hall that reaches the top, there is also a circle of magical instruments and a bunch of things similar to teleportation arrays.

I don't know if it was a scheme set up by Yu Shu Lou itself or by some mentally ill person.

Now the first floor hall of the Jade Book Tower is the same as the main tomb chamber.

"No one usually comes here, so I only have some light tea. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality."

After asking Zhang Ze and Lao Li to sit down, Yu Shu Lou (Ma Gang Version) looked at Zhang Ze, "I roughly know why you're here. I've heard about Dong Qi and the Hundred Demon Sect from Sect Master Tang, but I'm sorry, I can't help you."

"I really don't know anything about the Human Emperor Flag, and I don't have any memory of it.

“I also have no recollection of why I was buried in the mountains of Jingzhou after the East-West War.

"As for the secret of the hundred floors, look at this."

As soon as Yu Shulou finished speaking, the walls around the hall lit up.

Then the spiritual energy gathered, and complex drawings, as well as a large number of formations and texts that looked very professional and related to refining techniques appeared around Zhang Ze and Lao Li.

"Oh~"

The master and the disciple both expressed great admiration at the same time, and pretended to watch carefully.

Of course, I didn’t understand anything.

Although both father and son were hopelessly illiterate in the art of refining weapons, with the explanation from Yu Shu Lou, this matter was actually not difficult to understand.

As a very special magical instrument, the Jade Book Tower had extremely important political significance during the Eastern Qi Dynasty.

It was the last stage of the Dongqi imperial examination. It tested the disciples of the Dongqi emperor and represented the majesty of the royal family.

Therefore, the most important thing for the Jade Book Tower is not how powerful it is, but whether it is safe and reliable enough.

After all, if one or two of the empire's future prides and royal nobles died on such a festive day as the palace examination, not only would the emperor lose face, but the people involved would also have to play a game of Nine Clans Elimination.

In order to prevent the emperor from being repeatedly slapped in the face and the situation where a large number of high-ranking officials of the empire would be forced to leave their families every few decades, the Yu Shu Lou adopted a special design method.

It has separated software and hardware, and multiple insurances.

The hardware is the Jade Book Tower, and the software is the big pillar in the middle.

That big pillar, which is the core part of the illusion, can only be controlled by the emperor, and no one else has the right to change or operate it.

The authority of the Jade Book Tower as a spirit object is also determined by the emperor himself.

Unless the emperor himself gets sick with the plague, this method will fundamentally eliminate the possibility of conspirators causing trouble.

The Jade Book Tower is not only an operating system and computer chassis, it also serves as insurance for monks.

If some kind of accident really happens, such as someone attacks the Jade Book Tower from the outside, causing structural damage to the Jade Book Tower.

All the costs will be borne by the spirit of the Jade Book Tower. He will do his best to ensure the safety of the cultivators inside and send them out of the illusion safely.

This is its underlying logic as an artifact spirit.

At the same time, when the illusion is implanted, the Jade Book Tower itself has a safety.

That is, when the illusion in the Jade Book Tower is dangerous, this magical weapon will become ineffective and cannot be activated until the problem of the illusion is resolved by the emperor himself.

With this design, even the emperor himself cannot implant an illusion that could harm the souls of the monks.

Yu Shulou pointed to the pillar in the middle of the hall and said, "Theoretically, if you want, you can build a second or third Yu Shulou, but the core of the illusion is only one, and that is this pillar.

"I don't have the design drawings and refining steps for this pillar, nor do I know how it works. I can only confirm that there is nothing wrong with the illusion here, otherwise I wouldn't be talking to you here.

"His Majesty, I mean the Emperor, he modified my powers. After the 50th level, I can only perform two operations: protect and escape. The rest are all the illusions running on their own.

"I don't know why he did this. So even if the secret hidden in it is really important, you can only explore it on your own.

"Feel sorry."

After listening to Yu Shulou's explanation, Zhang Ze asked another question.

"What kind of person was the last emperor of Dongqi?"

People today don't have a very good opinion of this emperor who started the war and destroyed Middle-earth.

Without mentioning the historical books of the six sects, let’s just talk about the few eyewitnesses of that time. In their fragmented memories, they don’t have a high opinion of that emperor, just like a blind man touching an elephant.

Chen Qianhu's uncle described him as a madman.

Xiaoxuan's evaluation of the stone girl is that she is a pervert who created and imprisoned the stone beauty.

The giant turtle Zhuluo said that he was a quiet child. But when he arrived at the Jade Book Tower, his answer changed.

Yu Shulou glanced at Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze was the first person to ask him this question since he woke up.

Yu Shulou thought for a while and then spoke.

"I don't remember clearly, but your majesty... he is a good man."

Yu Shu Lou's answer doesn't make sense.

Because no matter how capable an emperor is, as long as he is an emperor, he should not be a good person.

But Yu Shulou spoke very seriously.

After this answer was given, the spiritual energy in the Jade Book Tower began to rhythmically move slowly, and soon became as turbulent as the sea.

If the spirit of the weapon could dream, then he would have returned to the former divine capital of Baiyujing, to the Baiyujing where white dew formed on the jade steps and peach blossoms filled the divine capital.

But now, Baiyujing has become a deadly place in Zhongzhou.

"Sorry, I was distracted. Is there anything else?" The spiritual energy in the Jade Book Tower calmed down.

"Can you take me and my master to the 50th floor to have a look? I hope it won't be a problem." Zhang Ze asked.

"No problem, please follow me."

The space in the Jade Book Tower is not as expected. The space on the 50th floor is very large, but there is only a clear spring in the empty hall.

I don’t know where the water comes from, nor do I know where it goes.

"After the 50th floor, which floor you go to is completely random. You should know this. Walk into the water and you will reach the Jade Book Illusionary Realm beyond the 50th floor."

Looking at the clear spring in front of him, Zhang Ze pulled his master's sleeve and said, "Master, let me ask you something. Is there any magic in this world that can play with time at will?"

Li Guanqi thought for a moment and said, "It depends on where you are coming from. If you take people as the anchor point..."

Old Li was like the reincarnation of Einstein, talking a lot to Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze nodded as if he understood.

"I see, but what I'm asking is whether there is anyone who can wash his hands and feet in the river of time, swim freely, and move freely between the past and the future."

"Bullshit! Read less of those idiotic stories written by Wang Buyu in the future. Forget about the River of Time. Even if it exists, it's a method above the Mahayana stage, or even higher."

Zhang Ze scratched his head and looked at Wang Qingquan in thought.

"Master, what did your ancestors do?" Zhang Ze asked again.

"Why do you have so many questions? My great-grandfather was a tinsmith, and I don't know anything about the time before that. What's wrong?" Li Guanqi said.

"Didn't I want to go in and take a look? The logic of entering the illusion after the fifty levels is probably related to bloodline or family. If your ancestors are noble, wouldn't they be able to take your apprentice to fly?" Zhang Ze rubbed his fingers and looked at his master.

"Why don't you ask yourself, aren't you destined to be one?" Li Guanqi joked.

"Master, you're joking. My family doesn't even have a genealogy tree. Besides, who in our Sword Sect dares to call themselves the Man of Destiny?"

Zhang Ze had already heard from his junior sister about the quarrel between the Sword Sect's ancestor and the legendary man of destiny in a dream.

Although it has nothing to do with him, but he is obviously making himself uncomfortable by saying the words "destiny" all the time.

Just as these two masters and apprentices, who had clean backgrounds and lived in poverty for three generations, were about to go in and take a look, someone lurked up from behind.

It’s a little earth fairy.

He came to take revenge on Zhang Ze.

Because this little thing drew a turtle on the face of Zhang Ze's statue, it not only cleaned the statue yesterday, but also cleaned the pedestrian street for the whole day.

Although he didn't feel tired, he still felt it was a great shame and humiliation.

How could the great ant crusher, the creator and destroyer of insects, do such trivial things as cleaning the streets!
He learned from his mistakes and started a new round of planning.

Zhang Ze wanted to take revenge, and he had to draw the turtle because that was all he could do now.

After his last escape, Qianji Pavilion tightened its supervision over him, and talismans, magical instruments, knives, swords, and other items were completely isolated from him.

So after Xiao Dixianer thought about it carefully, he realized that he might have drawn the turtle in the wrong place.

The square is too arrogant. Although painting there makes me feel better, it is not concealed enough.

So, this time he found an empty alley, ran to the end of it and drew Zhang Ze and Little Turtle on the wall.

Unfortunately, however, the little earth fairy's wish was not fulfilled and his revenge attempt failed again.

Because it wasn't an alley, it was a racetrack.

A famous competitive event in Qianji Town, a dedicated track for the first round of preliminaries for the wheelchair race.

When Xiao Dixian was about to use the painting skills he had learned throughout his life to press Zhang Ze's face on the turtle, the wall in front of him where he was painting collapsed.

Led by the lame Wuqing, one of the four famous detectives of Qianji Town, a group of wheelchair freaks broke through the stone wall that served as an obstacle and ran over the face of the little earth immortal.

No one slowed down or gave way.

Some people knew the little earth fairy and knew that it was too hard to break. Moreover, since it was always naughty and always causing trouble, they felt no pressure to hit it.

As for those who didn't know me, when they saw that others didn't avoid me, they ran over me too. They just thought that these squeaking ants and my little thing were part of the game.

Just grind it.

If you crush it beautifully, you might even get extra points.

After being run over in various ways by a group of wheelchair-bound freaks, the little earth fairy pulled off the small wooden barrel on her head, ran home crying to the Jade Book Tower with her hair covered in green oil paint.

The education of the little earth fairy was handed over to the Jade Book Tower from a very early stage.

As for educational outcomes
There are still some.

At least the little Earth Fairy knows to go home to the Jade Book Tower when she's being bullied, instead of secretly smearing feces in people's drinking glasses.
As soon as the little earth immortal came back, he saw that the door of the Jade Book Tower was wide open, and the Thousand Machine Puppet controlled by the Jade Book Tower today was nowhere to be seen.

Because he had lived in the Jade Book Tower for some time, he walked up the stairs and teleportation arrays with ease, hoping to find the Jade Book Tower to judge the case for him.

After he climbed to the 50th floor for the first time, panting, the little earth fairy suddenly cheered up because he saw Zhang Ze.

All of a sudden, new and old hatreds surged into his heart. He rummaged through his overalls, trying to pull out a knife, but only pulled out a charcoal pencil.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly discovered a clear spring in front of Zhang Ze. Although he didn't know where the spring water came from, the little earth immortal already had an idea.

That is to push Zhang Ze down and make him get soaked.

As for how he could avoid being discovered and whether he had the strength to push Zhang Ze, these two things were not within the scope of Xiao Dixianer's consideration.

After making up his mind, he stuck his butt out and crawled towards Zhang Ze stealthily.

Although he thought he was very secretive, he was actually discovered by Zhang Ze, Yu Shulou, and Li Guanqi as soon as he reached the 50th floor.

It's just that no one is bothered to pay attention to him.

The little earth fairy, who was still immersed in his own great plan, was unaware of this and continued to sneak around in plain sight.

He crawled all the way behind Zhang Ze, jumped up with a shout, and slammed into Zhang Ze's calf hard.

"Kneel down! Apologize to me!" Little Earth Fairy shouted.

Then, the little earth fairy's surprise attack naturally failed.

Zhang Ze gently lifted his leg, and the little fairy flew past his crotch, then fell into the spring with a splash.

No splash.

But a door appeared.

A door to the illusion leading directly to the 100th floor appeared.

After sucking in the little earth immortal who hadn't figured out what was going on, the door began to fade, and Zhang Ze chased in without thinking.

When Li Guanqi saw Zhang Ze go in, he also went in the moment the door disappeared.
