Chapter 44 Emergency Order from the Temple of Divine Script
Chapter 44 Emergency Order from the Temple of Divine Script
Some people were excitedly whispering among themselves: "As expected of the white, six-petaled flower of literary talent, I think this new divine script is indeed easier and faster than the previous ones."
That is.
After working for an hour, Wang Yan, who was a little tired, was stopped by Steward Qiu, who urged him and Huo Erdan to hurry up and go to the Temple of Learning.
"Senior Brother Qiu repeatedly instructed you two to practice writing the character '神' (divine) more; an hour's work on the chores will suffice!"
also!
After dinner, Wang Yan received a message from Steward Xiong: "Junior Brother Wang, I really wanted you to come, but Senior Brother Qiu from the Divine Script Hall repeatedly instructed that if you have time, you should practice writing the character 'divine' more in the Divine Script Hall!"
Uh... okay!
Wang Yan reluctantly showed Huo Erdan this passage, and then they went to the Temple of the God of Learning together.
The next day, when Wang Yan saw Zhao Mingtong again outside the Xi Shen Temple, this proud elder looked at him strangely, no longer mocking him, and just silently queued up.
"He must have received the news."
The few Level 3 Spirit Sprouts who used to enjoy gossiping and had elders in the inner sect all remained silent at this moment.
As a result, the atmosphere in the queue was rather somber.
Wang Yan thought to himself, silently continuing towards his goal.
For the next five days, Wang Yan and Huo Erdan traveled back and forth between the Xi Shen Temple and the paper-cutting field.
He became more and more skilled at condensing paper, and his profound energy became more and more refined.
Strangely, Jiang Linyue did not contact Zheng again.
"I'm afraid she's too busy with missions for both Renyi Peak and Danding Peak, so I don't need to bother her."
……
On the morning of the sixth day, on the second floor of the Divine Hall.
With bloodshot eyes, Deng Jianghui looked solemnly at Master Qin, who was busy handling sect affairs: "Master, I am about to go to Flying Eagle Mountain. Please temporarily transfer Wang Yan here to think of new divine scripts."
"He is indeed a bit arrogant and has a temper, but he was not timid at all when he went on the mission with Lin Yue this time. He was able to cooperate closely with Li Sizhu. He is courageous, loyal and capable. He is a good prospect."
Master Qin, whose handsome face was etched with exhaustion, paused, put down his pen, and looked up at Deng Jianghui with surprise in his bloodshot eyes: "Should we bring him here?"
Deng Jianghui earnestly advised, "As you know, I tried for several years before, but I couldn't get the divine script on that solidified paper to be even slightly better. But he did it. I think his efficiency in thinking about new divine script is indeed better than mine."
Grandmaster Qin frowned again: "He's only a level two spiritual sprout..."
"Grandmaster, these are special times, and some things can be handled specially." Deng Jianghui sighed softly, his eyes pleading. "Ningzhi doesn't need him, but if he wants to create a new divine script, it will save us a lot of trouble!"
After exchanging a moment's glance with Deng Jianghui, Master Qin said helplessly, "Alright, let me think about it some more. You can go now!"
"yes!"
……
That afternoon at noon, just as Wang Yan returned to his thatched hut to rest, he saw Huo Erdan, who had returned earlier, solemnly handing him two taels of silver.
"Di Nan and Senior Brother Qiao left not long ago, saying they were going on a long trip. The contribution points for this mission will be calculated when they return. They also gave me four taels of silver, and this is half of yours."
"I asked them if they went with Senior Sister Jiang. Senior Brother Qiao said that Senior Sister Jiang had taken on a new mission and left five days ago with the senior brother of Renyi Peak. She said she would come back to find you after the mission was over."
Five days ago, that was the second day after the Level 1 mobilization order!
Wang Yan silently accepted the silver coins and put them into his storage bracelet.
But just as he entered the house to wash up, Steward Qiu suddenly shouted from outside.
"Wang Yan, Master Qin of Shenwen Peak just issued an emergency transfer order, requiring you to go to Shenwen Hall for a few days immediately."
Wang Yan was taken aback.
Emergency mobilization order?
The first-level mobilization order from a few days ago flashed through my mind.
"They only transferred me, but not Erdan?"
"No tune!"
Fine!
Wang Yan bid farewell to Huo Erdan apologetically and hurried away with Steward Qiu.
Halfway there, Steward Qiu suddenly whispered, "Wang Yan, the new divine characters can also be written at the Divine Inscription Hall. If they don't tell you to come back, just stay there and don't come back!"
Seeing Wang Yan looking at him in surprise, Butler Qiu gently patted his shoulder: "Grandmaster Qin is sending you here at this time, it must be to have you come up with new divine runes. Other divine runes are fine, but you must not touch divine runes related to time. Your cultivation is too shallow, you won't be able to withstand it."
Wang Yan was slightly taken aback, then quickly replied, "Thank you, I'll remember."
For the rest of the journey, Butler Qiu was clearly in a hurry and didn't speak to him again.
So, a quarter of an hour later, Wang Yan followed Steward Qiu into the Divine Inscription Hall.
Qiu Xuankuang was still sitting in front of the screen on the first floor, his brows furrowed, writing something on the stone table.
Five days later, Qiu Xuankuang's eyes were bloodshot and he even had dark circles under his eyes, as if he had been working hard all night. His already many wrinkles became more obvious, and he looked very haggard.
Of the nine houses with the character "神" (shen, meaning god/god), six are occupied.
The inner sect cultivators standing outside the other three rooms all had stronger qi and blood than the two guards outside the hall.
But they all had furrowed brows, looking troubled, helpless, and exhausted, as if they had encountered a super problem.
Wang Yan's gaze swept quickly over their inner robes.
Since there is no embroidered three-legged cauldron, it does not belong to Dan Ding Peak.
It doesn't have a double-handled iron hammer, nor is it from Fire Refining Peak.
The symbol of Zhanfeng is crossed longswords, which these people do not possess.
The logo of Baicaofeng is a clover, and there is none.
"There are no special patterns embroidered on them, and they're all wearing inner sect uniforms, and they're all men... So they're all from Shenwen Peak?"
"The Divine Inscription Hall is where the sect gathers to apply for new combinations of the character 'divine'. The inner disciples of Divine Inscription Peak are all gathered here, and they urgently summoned me and Erdan here as well..."
Wang Yan had some guesses in his mind, but still didn't say anything.
Upon seeing Wang Yan enter, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of these cultivators. They continued to move their lips slightly, but their voices were noticeably softer.
However, "Hearing from All Directions" still clearly transmitted their words to Wang Yan's ears.
"Are you thinking of a new combination?"
"Yes, but only those with a cultivation level of Condensation Realm or above can use it. If you don't meet Ancestor Qin's requirements, you can't solve the problem of Flying Eagle Mountain."
"But Flying Eagle Mountain keeps pressing us! If we can't come up with a solution today, I'm afraid the sect will suffer a major blow!"
"Alas, who could have imagined! Two of the three at the Solidifying Yuan Realm have died, and eight of the thirteen at the Condensing Yuan Realm have perished. Now, at Flying Eagle Mountain, only the young disciples at the Profound Breaking and Profound Movement Realms are barely holding on. If we can't come up with powerful combat and medical techniques that even the Profound Movement Realm disciples can use, all of those disciples will perish! More than a hundred lives!"
In this last voice, there was a suppressed indignation and a faint sorrow that was hard to hide.
Two people died in the Solidifying Yuan Realm? Eight people died in the Condensing Yuan Realm?
Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
"Damn... these battle losses are probably not much different from the great battle more than four hundred years ago!"
"My intuition was right. The sect is currently engaged in a major external war, and the key to war is logistics. That's why the three inner sects, which are supporting the sect, are lowering their requirements to recruit disciples from the outer sect due to a shortage of personnel."
"Currently, the higher-ups have misjudged the situation on the Flying Eagle Mountain battlefield, resulting in a severe defeat. They have had to send out a large number of reinforcements and supplies, and even junior disciples like Di Nan, a Xuan Dong Realm disciple, and Lin Yue, have been dispatched!"
"Lin Yue is a medical cultivator, so she'll go first with the senior disciple from Renyi Peak. Huolian Peak will be in charge of equipment and can also fight, so they'll be the second group to bring supplies and provide support!"
"Grandmaster Qin's urgent summons of me and Huo Erdan couldn't possibly be to send us into a fight. It's more likely for a new divine script combination!"
