I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

"Wait a moment."

Lu Tiao stopped him.

Taoist Heming's things are 100% contaminated with foreign contamination.

If it were opened here, it wouldn't matter if Lu stumbled over it. Others would definitely be eroded by the pollution on the spot, and might grow a third hand or a fourth leg.

So Lu Tan directly pressed Du Ming's hand.

"Have you ever heard the rumor that you should not read books found in the wild?"

Lu Tan looked at the others, and finally his eyes fell on He Chong.

"Yes, yes, some things are full of curses. We'd better not open them rashly..."

He Chong hurriedly agreed with Lu Tan's words.

"Indeed, I have traveled around the world for many years, and I know that some things are better not known."

Shi Buwen glanced at the booklet with a little fear, but had no intention of opening it and browsing.

As for the blind man Zhang, he is blind to begin with and cannot see the content of the text at all.

Lu Tan probably knew why these two people could live for so long.

Still somewhat self-aware!

After Du Ming heard what a few people said, he suppressed the idea of ​​reading.

"I have learned some ancient book interpretation before, why don't you let me check this book first?"

Lu Tan suggested again.

"Didn't you just say not to read?"

Tang Que blurted out, a little strange.

"You can check it without opening it."

Lu Tan took the thread-bound book from Du Ming and opened the [Real Vision] for a brief browse.

In this case, Lu Jian could clearly see the contents of the first few pages.

[I often hear that it is not people who diligently seek knowledge, but those who know who diligently seek knowledge from others. However, I know its fallacy. Those who know it do not seek others, but actually go out and drive them away. Those who are profound and ruthless are like an eagle chasing a rabbit]

After a passage that Lu Tran was very familiar with, describing the pursuit of foreign knowledge by humans, Lu Tiao saw the table of contents.

This "He Ming Nine Chapters Secret Scripture" has a total of ten chapters. Excluding the general introductory chapters, the remaining nine chapters each correspond to some spells and corresponding knowledge.

For example, resurrecting the dead, the Immortal Sand Resurrection System that makes the corpses walk, the ritual of turning oneself into a half-ghoul by devouring corpses, the method of controlling imps, or some kind of foreign monster, and the attempt to travel through foreign lands, etc.

This knowledge is commonplace for Lu Tiao. He visually inspected that there may be only a few chapters in the main text that can make him feel dizzy, while most of them are without any fluctuations.

But for people in Jiuzhuan, every chapter is accompanied by contaminated knowledge, and every page will torture their sanity. Let alone finishing this book, I estimate that after reading the first chapter, these people here will He fell into madness and wanted to dig out his own eyes.

Then here comes the problem.

Who put this volume here?

If there had been no Lu Trip, then Du Ming and the others would have definitely opened the book after finding it, read its contents, become contaminated by the knowledge, and become madmen. They might even try the contents, perform forbidden rituals, and finally summon Come up with something amazing.

This is worth thinking about.

As we all know, foreign scenes are frozen in the past and a page in history. However, the "Nine Chapters of the Crane's Cry" is not a product of this world. It comes from the abandoned capital. Its appearance must mean that there are visitors from the abandoned capital. Have been here before, or at least the chosen ones from foreign lands have been here before.

What is his purpose?

If it was the Deep Sea or the Fog City, or there were hostile foreign visitors like Twilight City, Lu Tiao could easily understand that they wanted to destroy this place.

But the Abandoned Capital is theoretically a foreign land on the same front as this world, and the people in the Abandoned Capital have no reason to harm people in this world.

Lu Tan looked at the thread-bound book carefully and decided that he would open it if he had the chance and look at the contents carefully.

Even if he took ten thousand steps back, Lu Jian could take it back and sell it, which would make the best use of it.

"Did you find anything?"

On the side, Du Ming asked.

"This book is not of this world."

Lu Tan said pretentiously.

"It's not from this world? Could it be from the fairy world?"

Du Ming was a little curious.

"Are you sure you don't recognize the name Heming?"

Lu Tan asked everyone again.

Everyone shook their heads.

"This is a monk who practiced forbidden magic and became a monster. The records he left behind are quite dangerous. If you read them rashly, you may become one of those irrational monsters. We don't want to change. Be like this thing."

Lu Tan pointed at the statue.

Everyone was silent.

"Could it be that boy Dai Yuanyang?"

In the silence, He Chong suddenly said.

"He has been in contact with foreigners. Maybe he brought something from there. He wants to use this thing to make us kill each other, and finally reap the benefits for himself?"

Hearing this, Master Qi looked around.

"Where's Dai Yuanyang?"

"He went into the guest room and never came out."

Shi Buwen pointed to the occupied room.

"Let's go find him."

He Chong didn't know whether he was afraid of Lu Kan or whether he really disliked Dai Yuanyang, so he walked over there with Du Ming and Qi Ye and left the Taoist temple.

Tang Que and Shi Buwen were left behind.

The three of them looked at each other.

"You two, I want to take a look at the first few pages of this book now. Do you mind?"

Lu Tan spoke openly and honestly.

"Random, ancient books of unknown origin, Mr. Shi is not interested."

Shi Buwen left with his hands behind his hands, as if he really didn't care what was in the book.

Tang Que looked at Lu Tiao with interest, his eyes urging him.

"You should hurry up and take a look. If there's anything good to watch, sister and I can watch it with you."

Lu Tan only responded with a smile, and then opened the "Nine Chapters of Crane's Ming Secret Scripture".

As soon as he saw the text, Lu Tiao felt as if there were ants crawling over his eyes, itching.

He read the content quickly, and every time he read a word, he felt that the ants were biting his eyeballs, and the pain spread. Anyone else would have been unable to bear it, and abandoned the book and left.

Lu Jian was trying to understand the content above.

The text inside was somewhat normal at first. It was Taoist Heming's views on all things, including his views on knowledge, pollution, foreign lands, etc.

Later, when he recorded the process of his seeking the truth, it was already obscure and unclear. The same words were repeated many times, or some plots were skipped directly, as if there was no logic.

Fortunately, Lu Tan followed the thinking of a mentally ill patient and carefully analyzed Taoist Heming's thoughts, and got some useful information from them.

What particularly surprised Lu Tan was that Taoist Heming's knowledge of seeking Taoism did not come from his own insights, but from an ancient manuscript he obtained.

The book originally only had seven chapters. After learning and understanding it, Taoist Heming copied it, added and corrected it, and added his own understanding to create this "Heming Nine Chapters Secret Sutra".

The title of that book can no longer be verified. In this entire book, only its author is recorded.

Xuanjun.
