Chapter 434: Inheriting the Secret Knowledge of the Saints
When he was about to get closer, Lin Du realized that this was actually a building.
The trunk of this tree is extremely tall. The setting sun in the morning shines through the lush branches and leaves. The moment the light and shadow fall on the trunk, natural patterns are formed, just like... runes.
Tiangong Building, where everything is made of nature.
People watched from a distance and could only see that Lin Du did not enter the Tiangong Tower, but just stayed under the tree, holding a booklet, and no one knew what he was writing.
"Sister...what do you think, can Master Lin Du do it?" the head of the Feng family asked in a low voice.
Feng Yi crossed her arms and said, "I don't know, but I have to try."
People suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Because Lin Du didn't enter Tiangong Tower for a long time, he just kept writing something with a pen in his hand.
As time passed, the sun gradually rose to its zenith, and then set in the west.
The Feng family went from being nervous and expectant to gradually losing interest and falling into a daze.
The elders were able to hold back at first, but after the moon came out, they finally could not hold back any longer.
"Do you still want to watch? Or wait until the people leave before coming back."
Everyone thought about it and agreed that it made sense, then turned around and went back to their homes.
Only Feng Yi remained where he was.
When the head of the Feng family came back after finishing his work, he found his sister still standing there.
"Sister, are you still going to stay? You've been standing here for a whole day. I thought you had taken root here."
Feng Yi turned around and gave him a cold look, "Now that they've all left, someone has to watch over us."
The head of the Feng family touched his head embarrassedly and said, "You are watching over this."
He admitted his mistake, "I was wrong, sister, would you like some snacks? They're from the Qilin Pavilion on Fengyu Street. They're fresh out of the oven. Hey, they're still hot. You brought them to me every time you came home when you were a kid."
"That's because it's on the way, and we don't want to go home empty-handed." Feng Yi was still standing.
The next moment, Feng Ji started to get a stool and a tea table, and then brought out the brewed tea, "Please."
Feng Yi then sat down leisurely and drank tea.
"Sister, what is Lin Du doing? Others have gone in, but they just didn't get the answer right. But Lin Du has never gone in."
Feng Yi was sitting there, drinking tea in a dignified and elegant manner, turning a deaf ear to everything being said.
Feng Ji was already used to it, so he found a small stool, sat next to Feng Yi, and took out another pack of snacks that were not in the carved food box - he should save money and spend money, and eat it himself, so he didn't need a high-end take-away box, and could just wrap it in oil paper.
The two of them stayed like this for the whole night, but Lin Du was always in the center of the lake.
After a day and a night, Feng Ji woke up from a nap and found that Lin Du had disappeared. He suddenly lost all his sleepiness. His eyes widened with fear and he patted Feng Yi hard, "Sister! She's gone!!!"
"Did Lin Du run away?!"
Feng Yi reluctantly gave way, "She didn't run away, she just went in."
Feng Ji was stunned for a moment, "How long have you been in there?"
"A quarter of an hour."
Feng Ji stood up in fear, and Xiao Ma Zha fell to the ground. "A quarter of an hour? That's a record!"
It takes an ordinary person just the time to get out after taking a sip of tea and tasting its flavor.
Feng Yi lowered her eyes and calmly knocked on the tea table. "Make some tea."
Feng Ji was delighted, "Hey!"
A quarter of an hour ago, Lin Du drew down all the symbols projected by sunlight and moonlight, and found that she was right.
Although she did not have a wide range of knowledge on runes, she was familiar with history books and basic books on runes, and had been baptized by divine runes, so she was particularly sensitive to these lights and shadows.
Runes come from nature, and each complete rune actually requires an energy loop, just like a formation.
From the moment he saw the Tiangong Building, Lin Du, who was familiar with the subject, had already understood the purpose of this building.
Especially when she discovered that new rune lights and shadows would appear after a fixed time interval, her guess had a basis.
So Lin Du recorded all the changing runes one by one until the next day.
The next morning, at the moment she came yesterday, the first rune she recorded arrived as expected.
Lin Du's conjecture became a reality.
Tiangong Tower is truly a work of art.
So Lin Du put away his notes, raised his hand and followed Feng Yi's instructions on how to enter the Tiangong Tower, opened the ban, and entered the Tiangong Tower.
As soon as he entered, Lin Du found that he was inside a tree. The feeling was very similar to when he slept in a tree house with the demon tribe, but also a little different.
Because the spiritual rhythm of heaven and earth in this building is straight and unobstructed.
It turns out that the tree is not a tree, but a building.
The next moment, Lin Du received a test.
"Please draw a rune that can call upon the most fierce and sinister energy."
Lin Du quickly picked up his pen and drew the rune after noon.
Noon is when the yang energy between heaven and earth is at its strongest. After that, yin energy will begin to be produced. That trace of yin energy that appears at noon is naturally the most ferocious.
In ordinary talisman books, this is called ghost evil spirit.
I passed this level smoothly.
The next questions became more and more tricky. Lin Du thought carefully and realized that the time interval between each rune was exactly the time interval between each small grid when the first sundial appeared.
Time, yin and yang, seasons, heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire... Connect the origins of these and the records in ancient calendars, and guess the runes that are most likely to appear at the time related to the topic.
Time passed little by little, and before Lin Du knew it, he had felt his consciousness exhausted and replenished.
Finally, this is no longer a problem.
"Why did you come here to take the ancient god's inheritance? If you get the inheritance, how will you pass it on?"
Lin Du stood up and thought about it. Feng Yi’s insistence was not that she could not enter the Tiangong Tower, but that… no one could inherit the ancient god’s talisman skills and the inheritance had been broken.
She thought of her senior brothers and sisters who taught her. She was not their apprentice, but what they taught her were their best skills.
She thought of her master Yan Ye who had worked with her to reverse her fate that day. What was passed down from master to disciple was a unique skill and a character.
"We should inherit the lost knowledge of the ancient sages." Lin Du raised his head, "and pass it on to all those who can understand and want this inheritance."
She once made regular donations to remote educational projects in modern times, and once stood on the loess, hoping to "help the world if she succeeds."
There is no discrimination in education, and the torch is passed on from generation to generation to carry on the lost knowledge.
She didn't know the answer, whether she would lose this opportunity in this world that emphasizes the relationship between master and apprentice and the inheritance of door valves, but this was her own answer.
A long, long time ago, when Lin Du was still eating at a hundred-family restaurant, she once saw a passerby showing off that he had found an unexpected martial arts book at a street stall. But later, she saw that the man failed in practicing the martial arts and became possessed, and it turned out that the martial arts book was a fake.
She thought it would be great if everyone could receive correct teachings.
Later, Lin Du really encountered compulsory education. It turned out that when he went to university, books were still very expensive.
She thought that at least those who needed it and could understand it could learn the professional knowledge they desired.
This is the inheritance that Feng Yi wants to see, the inheritance that the Feng family and many talisman masters want to see, so this inheritance should be seen by these people.
She will come up with a better and broader solution and pass it on.
She heard the sound of a rushing water.
The sound came from all directions, but there was no trace of water.
Outside the Tiangong Tower, the teacup between Feng Yi and Feng Ji began to vibrate with a creaking sound, making a crisp porcelain sound.
They both looked up at the same time and found that the water in the lake was slowly receding.
Or in other words... the roots of the big tree Tiangonglou are absorbing water.
The lake water level continued to drop, and the Tiangong Tower slowly began to take on its jade-like luster.
Feng Ji breathed rapidly, "Sister..."
This time it was Feng Yi's turn to have shaking hands, "Is this... done?"
"It's done!!! It's done! Someone! Someone has opened the inheritance!!" Feng Ji shouted loudly, his face full of joy.
"It was Lin Du who started the inheritance." Feng Yi stood up straight and smiled proudly, "I knew she could do it."
The ancient gods' inheritance in Tiangong Tower is the most primitive talismans, the most primitive paintings, and even the most primitive and powerful words.
"Sister...why are you trembling?"
Feng Yi lowered her eyes and realized that her hands were trembling slightly under her wide sleeves. This time she did not maintain her dignity and defend herself.
She lowered her head and smiled, "Nothing, just because I'm happy."
So this is what it feels like to have your wish fulfilled.
The backflow of lake water is not a one-day thing, and the absorption and inheritance of water is also not a one-day job.
But Lin Du never imagined that this Tiangong Building actually held small tests and graduation exams.
She didn't even know how many days had passed. Every day when her consciousness was full, she would start learning and passing on the teachings. When her consciousness was no longer there, she would close her eyes and meditate to absorb spiritual energy.
The whole building was in a suspended state, but she did not need to use her spiritual power to maintain it. There was a strong spiritual aura, very similar to the scent of lake water, but no water vapor could be found.
While Lin Du was studying hard, he finally found the reason.
It turns out that the talisman technique is so advanced that one talisman can turn water into water and attract spirits.
The runes she had recorded previously were the basic runes of this inheritance.
It is even simpler than their formations. Although it consumes more of one's own spiritual power and consciousness, and has requirements on realm and physical endurance, it is indeed faster to use.
Because drawing a talisman consumed all his spiritual energy, Lin Du was forced to practice all the way from the middle stage of Qianyuan Realm to the great perfection of Qianyuan Realm.
Fortunately, there was plenty of spiritual energy in the building, enough for her to concentrate on absorbing it and practicing.
After she had finished her final exams and thoroughly learned the inheritance, she came out and found herself standing in the middle of a big pit with only tree roots under her feet.
She was silent for a moment. "Who drank up the water? Chu Guanmeng, was it you?"
Chu Guanmeng bared his teeth and said, "You are slandering Lai as a good person!"
Lin Du held down the fur ball that wanted to come out, "It took seventeen years. The spell method is much more difficult to master than the formation method."
"Really? But there are people who learned formations until they were over fifty years old and only then got the top spot in formations. In just seventeen years, he has learned the entire ancient god's legacy. It's much faster than I thought." A familiar female voice sounded.
Lin Du straightened his back reflexively, "Seventh Senior Sister!"
