Lord of Deception

Learning makes me happy, learning is the rain, learning is the lighthouse...

Yu Ziqing nestled in the newly built library in Dadui, working day and night to concentrate on his studies.

The collection of books in this library was first sorted out before Dadui returned. Basically all of them are from ancient times, and many of them are classics that have been lost in today's era.

Under the influence of Lao Yang, and because Yu Ziqing had been hearing about various lost texts, he paid special attention to the matter of classics.

Even an ordinary travel journal or miscellaneous talk may be sealed and left to collect dust in a corner for thousands of years without being ignored, or one day thousands of years later, there may be a seemingly ordinary line in it. Information can play a decisive role.

In addition to the original items in the library, a copy of the library built by Lao Yang in Jinlan Mountain was also placed in the library in Dadui.

In addition, after Dadui returned, he has been actively collecting various useful and useless classics.

Non-cultivation-related classics, except for some that record the secrets of the divine dynasty, are generally very low-priced and easy to buy.

Also, after Lao Yang returned from the Immovable Continent, he also made two copies of the classics he collected there.

One is placed in Jinlan Mountain, and the other is placed in Dadui.

Yu Ziqing is sitting at the desk now, just like he used to do during the surprise training before the exam, he must be as serious as possible.

The three rows of bookshelves next to it are all classified under the general outline of Talismans and the Wonderful Scenery subcategory of the Qizi subcategory. However, they are generally not mentioned in detail and are only referred to as Wonderful Scenery Talismans.

That's a line from the book list given by Lao Yang.

According to what Lao Yang said, the most basic thing is to master all the runes under the Wonderful Scenery Talisman.

This mastery refers to knowing the basic meaning, representation, derivation, evolution process and other related things of all the runes. When it is actually used, even if you are not a proficient person, you must be particularly skilled at the stage of playing tricks.

If you were a Talisman Master, your mastery level under the Qijing Branch should be at least as good as the Talisman Masters recruited from the Talisman Masters on Jiachen City East Street.

They are not at the groundbreaking master stage, but they are still among the strongest group of people below the master stage.

The difficulty is still quite high.

If he had forced the deduction to the forty-second level in the first chapter of Dayan, Yu Ziqing would definitely have given up.

Because it was just a line in the book list, he would probably have to study and study it for twenty years if he wanted to meet the requirements, and this was actually the result of a substantial bonus to the eighth level of God Refining.

Yu Ziqing studied without sleep for seven days. He raised his head and moved his body, with a trace of trance in his eyes.

No wonder many god-refining monks, after reaching a high level, begin to learn miscellaneous subjects such as the Six Arts of Monks.

Moreover, after the ascetics enter Taoism, the proportion of cultivating gods is also very high.

This is indeed a great bonus. At least when studying, for that knowledge, it is basic standard to have a quick glance and photographic memory, so the efficiency is of course high.

Yu Ziqing also felt that the bonus in the first chapter of Dayan was much greater than the bonus after reaching the realm of refining gods. It was not only easier to remember, but also easier to understand and draw inferences.

This method is only incidental for refining gods. It can sense good and bad luck, which is also incidental. He is far from discovering its true function.

Yu Ziqing understood that this was the result of his forced deduction and pushing up his realm.

At the same level, it is definitely far inferior to those who cultivate step by step and steadily.

If you take shortcuts, there must be flaws. It just depends on whether you can find out what the flaws are and how to make up for them.

And the current learning is a way to slowly make up for the shortcomings and lay a solid foundation.

However, my body is not tired, my mind is very flexible, and I don't feel tired, but I still start to feel tired inside.

Yu Ziqing closed his eyes and immediately fell asleep as soon as his thoughts came to his mind.

Less than an hour later, Yu Ziqing woke up again, put the pile of classics on the table back on the bookshelf, and continued to read other classics in order.

Yu Ziqing forgot all about food and sleep, and worked so hard that he didn't even go out of the library.

For six months in a row, Lao Zhang came twice. Seeing Yu Ziqing's concentration, it was hard to interrupt what he wanted to say.

When the one-year period was up and Lao Zhang came again, he saw Yu Ziqing sitting there with a somewhat vacant look. He was surrounded by countless runes that were densely packed and swirling around Yu Ziqing.

When looking at it, Yu Ziqing's figure was looming in the flickering light, disappearing from time to time, and the surrounding space was distorted and transformed, changing hundreds of times in one breath.

Lao Zhang asked the library guard.

"How long has your Majesty been like this?"

"It's been three days. I don't dare to disturb you because of my humble position."

"It's okay, go down."

Lao Zhang waited for a few more hours before he saw Yu Ziqing's figure disappear again, the distortion and transformation had completely stopped, and only countless runes were still moving according to inexplicable trajectories.

All the runes, after a short pause, disappeared into the center like a swallow in the forest.

Yu Ziqing's figure also appeared again at this moment, standing there quietly.

The long table in front of him seemed to have been chewed by something, and a large piece was missing. Everything within a few feet of Yu Ziqing's body had disappeared without a trace.

Yu Ziqing took a step forward, stood up again, took out a few pages of the book list given by Lao Yang, and sighed.

"But it's too difficult. I just learned a trade after being idle and forgetting food and sleep for a year. How did Lao Yang do it?"

When he was weak enough, Yu Ziqing would just follow Lao Yang and shout that he was awesome.

When your feet really start to set foot on this road, and you look at the back of Lao Yang, you will truly understand how outrageous Lao Yang is.

No wonder even the head of Langya Academy would say that Lao Yang is outrageous.

However, with this foundation, when we expand horizontally in the future, it will be much easier and not too time-consuming.

By some estimates, within fifty years, we will definitely be able to meet the requirements mentioned by Lao Yang.

Now Yu Ziqing understands firsthand how powerful it is to reach the level of the head of the hospital in a certain way.

Every year, a large amount of money is invested in the big island to let the hospital leaders burn it. I am afraid that it is because there are projects on the big island that attract them that they can retain people.

Yu Ziqing chuckled and asked him to study big projects. He might be at the level of a niuma student, but if he was asked to start a project, he would not be sleepy.

Lao Zhang saw that Yu Zi had regained consciousness and immediately came forward to salute.

"I have met His Majesty."

"Stop being so polite in private."

"Your Majesty, there are some matters that need to be handled by Your Majesty personally."

"What happened?"

"It's not like anything big happened. It's just that everything His Majesty asked to be prepared has been prepared. The tablets His Majesty brought back need to be arranged by His Majesty himself.

Wang Fugui has also come here several times, saying that the consumption on the big island has tripled in the past two years, and His Majesty needs to make a personal decision.

Also, if you need to use the abandoned kingdoms of God that have not yet collapsed to integrate them, the best way is to seal them off.

The list of candidates has also been prepared, waiting for His Majesty's decision.

Also, the school is on the right track, and Lao Yu is doing things very safely.

Recently, some people have learned about the school and are planning to send some to the school.

Those who are not selected for the imperial fiefdom can also enter the school.

Furthermore, some details of the deal with Da Zhen were modified, and Da Zhen also came to take pictures. It was related to the super large spirit formation.

Also, Your Majesty, would you like to set a date for His Majesty’s enthronement ceremony? "

When Lao Zhang said this, he saw that Yu Ziqing's expression did not change and immediately followed.

"Also, the cabinet has been discussing for a long time recently, and they all feel that if His Majesty does not establish a queen, it is time for him to adopt a concubine.

Your Majesty will not be in court for a long time, although all the ministers in the court understand.

I also know that His Majesty is still young, so it is understandable that he will be later.

But the more prosperous the national destiny of Dadui is now, the more necessary it is for your Majesty to come to calm people's hearts..."

Lao Zhang saw Yu Ziqing frown slightly and immediately stopped the topic.

"In short, there are indeed many things that require His Majesty's personal decision. I can only disturb His Majesty's hard work."

Yu Ziqing felt dizzy after hearing this. No matter how he acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, there were indeed many things that needed him to do.

Just like the edict to enfeoff land, Dadui has learned from the past experience of the land chaos. The matter of edicting land is very cautious. Except for Emperor Dui, no one has the ability to edict it. Even if it is just a small village, the land needs to go through many layers. After high-level review and confirmation by Emperor Dui, the decision can be made in person.

Those bastards who were fished out of the mud of troubled times need Yu Ziqing to personally come forward to ensure that the beginning is correct.

"Okay, let's deal with the things first, one by one."

After walking out of the library, Yu Ziqing selected a dozen from the candidate list. After reading them in person, he wrote the edict, inspired Fu Zhao, and sent people to complete the process of sealing the edict.

I quietly walked around the school again and found that except for the strong Yin Qi, everything else was developing steadily. Lao Yu was not in a hurry to expand.

After listening to Lao Zhang's explanation, Yu Ziqing understood that ghosts have always existed, and they are not limited to ordinary people.

In fact, there is a very small chance that an ordinary mortal will turn into a ghost after death, survive his infancy, and remain sane in the end, taking the right path.

Those who can stay are either very stubborn and honest, or they come from a family of monks.

Therefore, now that the imperial court has set up a ghost school, there will naturally be more ghosts hidden there.

The daughter of this family unfortunately died young, and the son of that family died unexpectedly, and both of them turned into ghosts in the end. Could it be that their families could beat them to ashes?

Keep him at home, don't cause harm to others, and practice as a ghost. Although it's not the right path, there's nothing you can do about it. You can only drag it on.

Since Da Dui cleared up the chaos, Jia Shi4 went on a killing spree and cleared most of the land, and the country's fortunes were booming again, no ghosts dared to cause trouble.

Yu Ziqing just took a few glances and understood the situation. It was impossible for him to do it himself and monitor it personally.

"Let's leave this matter to Lao Yang and Lao Yu. I'm not even registered in the school, so let them figure it out on their own.

Since this school has been opened, it is natural that there will be no distinction between teachings. Anyone who abides by my Dadui code and has no criminal record can come.

Let the school itself consider how to do this. "

"I understand." Lao Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed to restrict the court's reach, but it also set rules.

On the court's side, the most they can do is help with the preliminary review. The court has no say in what happens next.

Lao Zhang doesn't have to worry anymore, someone has found him through a favor.

After all, it is impossible for ordinary people to find him for other things, so he can easily refuse.

But when it comes to enrolling juniors in a school, it's hard to refuse them outright and inhumanely.

Let Lao Yu handle it, he's not afraid of this kind of thing anyway, it's just right.

After Yu Ziqing dealt with this, he arranged for a bastard to fill the vacancies of the twenty-four solar terms in that season, and immediately went non-stop to meet with the people in Daquake to learn about the progress there.

The foundation of Daquake's super-large spirit transformation formation has been completed, but some subsequent things require manpower and a lot of resources that Daquake does not have.

Especially some new materials, which are by-products of daily burning of resources in Oshima Research Institute, cannot even be sold outside.

This requires Yu Ziqing to nod and make arrangements, and this requires the participation of Hungry Ghost Company.

Therefore, I met with the profiteer Hungry Ghost again, looked at the reports for the past few years, approved the resources for Da Dao, and made arrangements for the next few years.

I gave the profiteer and hungry ghost a batch of Ganlin liquid to replenish it.

After being busy with a whole set of things, Yu Ziqing was quite tired and sighed that it was better to study peacefully. The stalls were getting bigger and bigger, and it was getting more and more troublesome.

After finishing the whole process, in order not to be chased by Lao Zhang about marrying a wife and having children, Yu Ziqing took advantage of the situation and headed north, leaving Dadui and arriving at the small courtyard of Handong in the south of Jinlan Mountain.

"Brother Dong, I'm here to drink tea with you."

Before anyone arrived, Yu Ziqing shouted first.

When he landed outside the small courtyard, he saw a flash of sword light and Han Dong appeared at the door.

"Please come in."

"Where's my sister-in-law?"

"I'm feeling a little unwell, but I'm recovering."

"Hey, aren't you okay yet?"

"That's not true. In fact, it's... Yes." Han Dong was a little happy, but also a little worried.

"Yes? What's going on?" Yu Ziqing was a little shocked. Is the female slave pregnant? Han Dong is so awesome.

"I actually don't know. One day, it suddenly appeared. How about you help me take a look?"

After Han Dong finished speaking, he immediately stood up and went back to the room without waiting for Yu Ziqing's answer, and walked out while supporting the female boss who kept rolling her eyes.

Yu Ziqing just glanced at it and saw the nvba's already pregnant belly, and could even feel that life was gestating.

Yu Ziqing was shocked. His eyes were opened and he gained a lot of knowledge.

A female demon, an immortal being, could actually get pregnant.

"Be careful, don't injure the fetal air..." Han Dong warned nervously.

The female demon rolled her eyes, stamped her foot, and the ground shook. As soon as she raised her leg, Han Dong turned into a streak of light and flew backwards.

Yu Ziqing's eyelids twitched. How could the female demon's body be so prone to fetal gas...

"Sister-in-law, how long have you been here? Have you invited anyone to come and take a look?"

"It has been more than a year. I have invited Li Qiu to come and see it, and I have also invited people from the Xia family to come and see it, but they are not sure.

But I am indeed pregnant, and the vitality is growing vigorously in my body.

There was no conflict, let alone a stillbirth.

Ziyu, please help me too. "

The female demon also had a worried look on her face.

Yu Ziqing felt carefully and couldn't really detect anything wrong. Everything was very good.

I have been pregnant for more than a year, and it looks like I have just revealed my pregnancy, which is obviously not normal.

Although this matter itself is particularly wrong.

"Where haven't you been?"

"I haven't been anywhere in the past few years, and I haven't left here."

"Can you tell me about my sister-in-law's practice methods, etc.?"

"What's the inconvenience?" The female demon took out a dozen jade slips and handed them to Yu Ziqing: "Everything I have practiced is here."

Yu Ziqing looked carefully, but still couldn't find a clue and had no idea why.

Thinking of the purpose of his visit this time, Yu Ziqing looked at Han Dong who was flying back.

"I don't have a clue. I'm going back to the big island to ask someone.

Brother Dong, I came to see you this time because I have something to do with the deep sea. I want to find out more about it from you. "

"The deep sea, I don't really know much about the deep sea, but feel free to ask."

"That's it. Brother Dong, when you were practicing in the deep sea, did you notice that something was eroding you?"

After saying that, Yu Ziqing told what happened when the Black Ship Saint discovered this time.

Han Dong thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, there are, there are a lot of weird things in the deep sea.

Many of them cannot be chopped into pieces, cannot be annihilated, and are very difficult to deal with.

There are also some that will indeed erode the soul and thoughts.

However, after I cultivated to the state where the sword's heart is transparent, nothing could corrode me. "

Yu Ziqing nodded. Even the Black Ship Saints could detect the erosion. If Han Dong was eroded, it would be impossible not to feel it.

"So, has erosion ever been successful?"

"have."

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

“I had just been to the deep sea for a short time, and I encountered many things and honed my sword skills.

I can feel it being eroded, and I can stop it.

For a period of time, I became extremely murderous, almost possessed by demons.

But I have the sword in my heart and the light in my heart, so I have been persevering.

Later, when I reached the stage where the sword's heart was clear and the sword's soul was clear, I realized that I had been eroded.

That power is very strange, and it is almost impossible to expel it by ordinary means.

Therefore, after I succeeded in raising the sword, I polished myself with the sword domain and transformed myself into the sword domain before expelling it.

But it was just to expel it, not even my sword domain could annihilate it.

Later, I never encountered him again. "

After Han Dong finished speaking, he thought for a moment, stretched out a hand and put it between his eyebrows, pulled it gently, and saw the light overflowing and turning into a lightsaber.

He took out another dagger, slowly integrated the lightsaber into it, and handed it to Yu Ziqing.

"The memories and insights I once had in the deep sea are all condensed here. You can see for yourself. I think it may not be clear enough and some details may be missed."

Yu Ziqing held the dagger and felt the charm in it. It had the charm of swordsmanship, but the edge was completely restrained.

Han Dong didn't have this ability before. It seems that everyone has been making silent progress in these years.

"Okay, I'll go find someone later to ask about my sister-in-law."
