After Zhou Qiuyu and others left, Hua Changxi quickly took down the wooden sign.
This time, the wooden sign changed a little, and the sword pattern on it became clearer.
When the Dan Fire was lit, the sword pattern appeared; when giving a lecture in the Qihuang Hall, the sword pattern deepened.
Hua Changxi looked at the four more patterns on the stone wall. The pictures were very straightforward. At first glance, they were the four-process diagnostic diagrams of looking, smelling, asking and palpating.
"It seems that Qihuang Hall is really a place for lectures."
Hua Changxi looked at the sword pattern on the wooden sign: "But what is the use of this sword pattern?"
Although she was still confused about the function of the wooden sign, after confirming that Qihuang Hall was a place for lectures and preaching, it pointed her in the direction of further exploration.
Hall No. 9 is the place where "looking, listening, asking and feeling" are explained. What about the other halls?
Hua Changxi walked out of the yard quickly. When he passed the stone pillar at the gate, he saw a silver-white sword pattern emerging under the word "Jiu".
"This is."
Looking at the sword patterns on the stone pillar, Hua Changxi widened his eyes. He was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up.
She unlocked the function of Qihuang Hall No. 9, so this sword pattern is a mark?
Since it has been marked, does that mean Hall 9 is her lecture hall?
Thinking of this, Hua Changxi looked towards the Qihuang Hall next door with an extremely burning gaze.
The Medical Department hides many secrets. Although she is confused now and doesn't understand many things, it doesn't matter. She can occupy the territory first.
She couldn't get involved in the Ninth Street pharmacy, but she could occupy the nine Qihuang clinics in the Miscellaneous Services Hall first.
Hua Changxi walked to the No. 8 Qihuang Hall with some anxiety. When passing the stone pillar, he found that the wooden sign did not flash.
"What's going on?"
When she entered and exited the No. 8 Qihuang Clinic before, the wooden sign was clearly flashing.
Hua Changxi quickly went to the No. 7 Qihuang Clinic again, but the wooden sign still did not flash.
"The sword mark is on Hall 9. Does that mean the wooden sign is useless for other halls?"
If that is the case, then Hua Changxi knows the purpose of this wooden sign.
This is the key to enter and exit Qihuangguan!
Hua Changxi thought of the row of wooden signs hanging on the wall of the old courtyard in the square, and an urge arose in his heart to take all the wooden signs for himself.
The moment this thought arose, the black flame below the inner elixir in the Dantian Qi Sea that Hua Changxi had not noticed suddenly grew a little bigger.
Hua Changxi didn't know that the black flame was getting bigger. At this moment, she had only one feeling: the desire to possess all the wooden signs was getting stronger and stronger.
Hua Changxi always follows his heart when doing things. Since the idea in his heart is so strong, he will do it.
So Hua Changxi really went to the old courtyard in the square.
When Hua Changxi arrived at the square, it was already getting dark. Looking at the open gate of the old courtyard, she walked in.
Gu Xing heard the noise, opened his eyes, and was a little surprised to see that it was Hua Changxi.
Seeing him coming, Hua Changxi quickly smiled and greeted him: "Old man, have you had dinner?"
Gu Xing was stunned for a moment. In order to prevent his body from further deteriorating, he had not eaten a normal meal for a long time. He had been taking fasting pills. He was a little uncomfortable with being greeted like this. He laughed and said, "I have eaten. How about you?"
Hua Changxi glanced at the empty yard and didn't see any cooking utensils: "I ate too." As he said that, he walked to the stone table in the yard and waved his hand. A pile of spiritual fruits appeared on the stone table.
"These fruits taste good to me, so I brought them here especially for you to try."
Gu Xing looked at the spiritual fruits on the stone table, his eyes flashing. Although they were only first-level spiritual fruits, they were of many kinds and could not be collected in a small area. It seemed that this girl had occupied some territory.
Smelling the fragrant spiritual fruit, Gu Xing was actually a little greedy. He stood up with his cane, walked to the stone table, picked up one and started eating: "It's delicious. Thank you for thinking of me."
Hua Changxi smiled and waved her hand: "You're welcome. If you like it, I'll give it to you in the future."
Gu Xing noticed that Hua Changxi's eyes kept glancing at the wooden sign. Although he was a little confused, he didn't ask and just sat at the stone table to eat fruit.
Seeing that he was enjoying his meal, Hua Changxi asked with a smile, "Senior, what is the use of the wooden sign?"
Gu Xing smiled at her and shook his head: "I am just a gatekeeper."
Seeing that he didn't reveal anything, Hua Changxi continued to ask: "You have lived for such an old age, you must know much more than me, just tell me."
Gu Xing looked at her and said, "Girl, you have to find opportunities on your own. Don't think of taking shortcuts. If I really know something, would it be your turn to ask?"
Hua Changxi still didn't quite believe that he really didn't know anything: "You've been guarding this yard the whole time, how is it possible that you don't know anything?"
Gu Xing said again: "I am just a gatekeeper, responsible for guarding the door."
Seeing his reaction, Hua Changxi knew she couldn't ask anything more: "Old man, I really like those wooden signs hanging on the wall. I'll go get a few more."
Without waiting for Gu Xing's response, Hua Changxi walked towards the wall.
When Gu Xing saw this, he was about to say that each person could only get one wooden plaque, but before he could say anything, he saw Hua Changxi take out another wooden plaque. He was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
Seeing that Hua Changxi still wanted to take the wooden sign, he shouted anxiously: "Girl, don't be greedy."
This time, Hua Changxi did not take down the wooden sign.
Hua Changxi took the first two wooden plaques effortlessly, but when it came to the third one, the plaque felt as heavy as a mountain.
“Why can’t I take it off?”
Gu Xing walked up to her with his cane, looked at the wooden sign she had just taken out, was silent for a moment, then looked at Hua Changxi: "Where is the wooden sign you took out yesterday? Show it to me."
The wooden plaque he got yesterday now has a sword pattern on it. Hua Changxi didn't want to take it out: "I'm not wearing it."
Gu Xing looked at her: "You can't chew it no matter how long you are greedy."
Hua Changxi looked at him disapprovingly: "The wooden sign is hung here for people to take, isn't it? I took the wooden sign based on my ability, how can I be greedy?"
This made Gu Xing stunned. He was silent for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but girl."
Gu Xing pointed at the wooden sign in Hua Changxi's hand: "Although the wooden sign is light, it still has weight."
Seeing that he was being evasive, Hua Changxi said directly, "Old man, I'm not very smart. Can you explain it more clearly? Is there any price I have to pay for taking this wooden sign?"
Gu Xing: "I have never owned a wooden sign, so I don't know the benefits or disadvantages of wooden signs."
Hua Changxi looked at him: "Do you think I believe what you said?"
Gu Xing was surprised by Hua Changxi's straightforward reaction, and then smiled: "Girl, people should have more trust in each other."
Hua Changxi laughed: "Old man, it's getting late, you should go to bed early. I'll be back first."
Watching Hua Changxi walk away, Gu Xing looked at the eight remaining wooden signs on the wall with a confused look on his face: "Can't each person only take one? How come that girl can take two?"
Gu Xing sighed. With the change of dynasties, many things of the Gu family were lost, and the ancient books that were preserved were not complete. When they came into his hands, there were even fewer things left.
His knowledge of the Dan Temple was really not much more than that of others.
