With a soft sound, the library door that had been sealed for hundreds of years was slowly opened.
Ji Yuan was the first to step through the gate, holding a Yang Qi lighting talisman in his hand. If there was the slightest sign of trouble, he would punch it out without hesitation.
It's just that although the talisman has not been activated yet, it still exudes a faint yang energy, which can make the yin energy around the body and ghosts with insufficient moral conduct retreat.
As soon as he entered the library, Ji Yuan realized that his preparations were somewhat unnecessary. The awe-inspiring righteousness contained in the building was much stronger than it looked from the outside.
In such a rich and thick aura, even a being with magic power who transforms from a ghost into a ghost cultivator cannot withstand it.
It's okay to stay here for a short time, but once you stay here for a long time, at the very least, your cultivation level will fall and you will become a ghost again.
"There shouldn't be any ghosts hiding here, but it's better to be careful."
Ji Yuan looked around and said softly to Song He beside him: "Although I don't know why there is a library that breeds awe-inspiring aura in a place where ghosts are entrenched, but this may be the key to whether we can escape safely."
The two looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly, as if he understood the meaning of the other's words.
They came to the middle of the library and lit several oil lamps and candlesticks on the desk with the flint they brought with them. Then they each held the fire and wandered among the bookshelves on the first floor.
The stern man and the girl stood by the desk and watched their actions, with confusion in their eyes. However, after pondering for a while, they also held up a candlestick in a decent manner and started wandering around.
“The collection of books here is really rich!”
As soon as he came to a bookshelf, the little Taoist priest couldn't help but sigh.
Wherever he looked, there were countless Taoist collections, none of which were the versions that can be found everywhere on the market, but were truly written by Taoist masters.
Just the collection of items on a bookshelf is already priceless. Ordinary Taoists don't even dare to hope for it, because just one of these books is worth dozens of taels of silver.
There are so many Taoist treasures, including originals and orphans. It is no wonder that they can breed such a strong aura of aura. Ji Yuan almost couldn't help but want to move them all back.
Sighing softly, he suppressed the desire in his heart and started searching here seriously.
After just walking around, neither Ji Yuan nor Song He found what they were looking for.
"What exactly are you looking for?"
The stern man asked with a frown.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan glanced at him and said absently: "Look for the details of the owner of the mansion here, such as autobiography, family tree, local chronicles and the like."
Generally, those who can build a mansion will write an autobiography for themselves. As for family trees, local chronicles, etc., they are must-haves for every wealthy family.
It's a pity that besides Taoist classics, there are no other books here, which makes Ji Yuan a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, there are still two floors above."
Song He laughed and pointed to the stairs aside.
The little Taoist priest sighed, cheered up, and climbed up the stairs to the second floor.
The furnishings here are similar to those on the first floor. Except for a desk in the middle, there are sandalwood bookshelves all around.
But compared to the one below, there are not many books on the bookshelves here.
"Elephant Armor Technique...Qingfeng Sword Technique...Water Fire Stick...Eternal Spring Sutra..."
With a casual glance, Ji Yuan couldn't help but whisper: "The collection here is actually all martial arts and martial arts!"
As soon as these words came out, the stern man's expression changed, and he immediately walked to a bookshelf in a few steps. With the faint light of the candlestick in his hand, his eyes scanned the books carefully.
After a while, he walked around the second floor with a shocked face, and found that the collection on this floor was all martial arts and Taoist cultivation techniques. Although the grade was not high, the value far exceeded
Daozang on the first floor.
Any martial arts or practice method can cause a fight in the outside world. This is not only due to its own value, but also because it represents a path to practice.
"Opportunity! This is a real opportunity!"
The stern man looked excited. It was difficult to maintain the indifference on his face, and his eyes were extremely hot.
Although the number of books here is not as good as that of Tao Zang on the first floor, there are at least thirty or forty books of various martial arts and techniques. If sold, it would be enough to earn an amount that ordinary monks would be hard-pressed to accumulate in their lifetime.
of wealth.
Even if he contributes it to his own sect, he can rely on this contribution to become the direct disciple of the sect. From then on, he will not have to worry about the resources for cultivation, and his status will undergo earth-shaking changes.
"If I were you, I would never touch these things."
However, at this moment, Ji Yuan poured cold water on him: "This place has existed for hundreds of years, and the materials of these exercises are ordinary. If they were not blessed by the strong aura, they would have turned into ashes over the years. You
If you touch it now, you can only get a ball of air."
The cold man didn't believe it, so he reached out to touch a copy of the 'Three Turns of Qing Yang Kung Fu'. As a result, the moment his fingertips touched it, the entire Kung Fu technique suddenly turned into powder, and the awe-inspiring energy in the entire library also dissipated.
.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan shook his head expressionlessly, then turned around and walked to the third floor, ignoring the stern man with a gloomy face.
On the third floor of the library, there are no longer Taoist canons or exercises, but a dazzling array of various treasures.
There are clean white jade plates, corals as red as blood, various kinds of jewelery, and a large number of calligraphy and paintings.
Every treasure here can no longer be measured by ordinary silver coins. Even valuable gold is not qualified to be placed here for collection.
His eyes swept over each treasure, but Ji Yuan remained unmoved. His heart remained unchanged and he had no intention of being moved at all.
It's not that he regards money as dirt, but he knows deep down at this moment that except for his wealth and life, everything is just an external possession.
If you can't leave here alive, what's the point of having a mountain of gold and silver?
After reciting "Infinite Heavenly Lord" several times, the little Taoist priest tried his best not to look at the treasures around him, lest he lose control and have some inappropriate thoughts.
He walked through the dazzling shelves of treasures and finally came to a desk. In addition to the exquisite Four Treasures of the Study, there was also a thick family tree on it.
It's just that the place where the last name should have been written is completely blank at this time, and a little ink can be faintly seen, which is dissipating at an extremely slow speed.
Ji Yuan frowned when he saw this, and immediately thought of the ancestral hall where sin had obscured the name of his ancestors. At this time, the situation in this family tree was somewhat similar. Under the erosion of sin, the vitality of this family was dissipating.
If you wait until all the energy is gone, then even if there are descendants who are still alive, they will inevitably encounter unexpected disasters, and the root of the inheritance will be truly cut off.
"found it?"
Song He came behind him and his eyes fell on a family tree in front of him.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan nodded lightly. After confirming that the material of this family tree was extraordinary and that no trace of its appearance had been left behind over hundreds of years, he reached out and carefully opened the first page. This chapter has been completed!
