Xu Ziyan lived peacefully in the following days. Xu Ziyan knew that her foundation was still very weak, so after she went to the main hall to listen to lectures every three days at the beginning of the month, she plunged into the library.
Although she can only enter the first floor of the library, there are also a lot of books on the first floor of the library. Although they are not books like secrets, they are all the most basic books for cultivation, but they are just suitable for Xu Ziyan. So Xu Ziyan buried himself in the sea of books.
Three months were spent in peace. At night, Xu Ziyan came out of the library as usual. She decided not to come to the library again from today, because she has read all the books on the first floor. She is going to retreat in her room for a while, digest all the knowledge, and integrate what she has read.
But as soon as he walked out of the library, he felt that the atmosphere was different from the past. In fact, when she came out of her room today, she felt that the atmosphere was abnormal, and when she entered the library, she found that there were almost no people in the library today. It's just that she was eager to read and didn't think much about it. But now after walking out of the library, she felt something strange again.
Looking around, I found that there were not many people on the road, even if someone passed by occasionally, they still looked nervous. Xu Ziyan didn't know, so he wanted to ask someone, but found that there was no one he knew. He shook his head and smiled wryly, thinking that since he entered the outer hall, he had spent almost all his time in the library, so naturally he didn't know many people.
He walked quickly towards his house, wanting to ask Xu Li and the others. As soon as he walked to the door of his house, he saw Xu Li, Xu Tieniu, Xu Ling, Xu Dezhi, Xu Qingxue, and a group of people standing outside his house. Hearing their own footsteps, they turned their heads to look at themselves together. After seeing clearly that it was Xu Ziyan, they ran towards Xu Ziyan one by one:
"Sister Ziyan, we still want to go to the library to find you. Brother Dezhi said that you will be back soon, so don't let us disturb you." Xu Li said while running.
"Looking for me? What's the matter?" Xu Ziyan walked towards everyone, with doubts on his face.
At this moment, Xu Ziyan suddenly heard the loud bell from a distance, and Xu Li and others on the opposite side also widened their eyes in horror. Xu Ziyan turned his head and looked at the sound coming from the bell. direction.
The bells keep coming, although Xu Ziyan doesn't know what the bells mean. But she knew that the more the bell struck, the worse things meant, she was afraid. The bell kept ringing, one after another, and the sound was very urgent.
"Hula la~~"
Countless doors opened, and countless people rushed out of the room, running towards the direction of the bell, their faces full of panic. Xu Ziyan opened his mouth wide, turned his head suddenly after a long time, looked at the people in front of him, and there was a voice in everyone's eyes:
"Something has happened!"
People like Xu Li seemed to have experienced many of these things, and it was clear from their eyes what the ringing of the bell meant. But Xu Ziyan was new to this world, so he didn't know what was going to happen. He thought in his heart that it was the army from other countries. So, he asked softly:
"What happened here?"
"It's a monster!"
"Monster?" Xu Ziyan asked puzzled.
Xu Li swallowed a mouthful of spittle, and said with some difficulty: "It's just that there is a beast tide, and it's the monsters from the vast mountains outside our central capital that rushed out."
"Beast tide?" Xu Ziyan's heart trembled, and he asked anxiously: "What's going on? Have you all experienced it?"
Xu Li and the others shook their heads together,
Moreover, Xu Li seemed to be very scared at this time, her body had already started to shake, her face was pale, and she was a little speechless. Xu Tieniu, who was next to him, said angrily:
"From our birth to the present, there has been a beast swarm, but that time, because we have not broken through to the fifth floor of the day after tomorrow, we have no chance to resist the beast swarm, so we can only stay at home. So, what is the beast swarm? We don't know what it looks like. We just know that in the last beast tide, many members of the family died."
"You mean to say that every time there is a beast tide, all disciples above the fifth floor of the day after tomorrow must go out to fight?"
"Yes, this bell is calling everyone to gather in the square."
"Let's leave quickly. If we go late, the family will think that we are cowardly and will be punished." Xu Qingxue who was next to me said anxiously.
"Then hurry up!"
Xu Ziyan turned around and ran towards the direction of the bell.
At this time, the gates of Zhongdu City were closed tightly, and the residents in the city also heard the bell. Not only the Xu family rang the bell, but the Xiao family, Wu family and the City Lord's Mansion all rang the bell.
Hearing the bell, the residents of the city rushed out of their houses one after another. These residents have lived here for generations and are no strangers to the beast tide. Older people, have been through it more than once. But everyone was still panicked, because in history, the beast tide once broke through the city of Zhongdu, and that time the entire residents of the city of Zhongdu were eaten up by monsters. Although it happened thousands of years ago, there has not been a large-scale animal swarm in the past few hundred years, but who knows when a large-scale animal swarm will occur.
Normally, the bell would not ring for a small-scale beast swarm. Since the bell was rung tonight, it meant that it was not a small-scale beast swarm, and the people in Zhongdu City would not feel panicked.
Xu Ziyan and others quickly arrived at the square where the bell rang, which was the central square in the family. It was very huge, and a high platform was built in front of the square. At this moment, Xu Haoran, the patriarch of the family, was standing on the high platform.
The crowd poured in from all directions. From the clothes on everyone, Xu Ziyan could see that not only the people from the outer hall rushed over, but also the disciples from the inner hall and the elders in the family. Xu Ziyan saw Xu Haobo, Xu Haomiao and others standing behind the patriarch Xu Haoran on the high platform.
All the elders rushed to the high platform ahead, while the disciples of the inner hall stood on the right side of the square, and the disciples of the outer hall stood on the left side of the square. Xu Ziyan stared at it, and couldn't help but be surprised by the strength of the family. There are more than 800 disciples in the inner hall, most of them are disciples of the first, second and third levels of the Qi refining period, a few are from the second level and above of the Qi refining period, and a very small part are from the Qi refining period Above the tenth floor.
Most of the disciples above the fourth level of the Qi refining period are very old disciples, even the disciples of the third level of the Qi refining period are mostly middle-aged and above, but in the third level of the Qi refining period of a group of middle-aged people Among the disciples, Xu Ziyan saw a very young man.
