"Senior, please!" The old fox led the way and brought Zhou Tong to a cave in the south of the secluded valley.
The cave was big and wide, it was obviously the residence of the foxes. After walking in, it was like entering a palace hall.
There were many small holes on the walls of the cave, and countless oil lamps were lit in the small holes.
The materials of these oil lamps were not simple. When they burned, there was no smoke or any pungent smell. Instead, there was a kind of fragrance. Furthermore, the light of the oil lamps was very bright. When the wind blew, the flames did not sway.
On the four sides of the cave, there were all kinds of wooden bookshelves. The bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books. There were handwritten books, woodcut books, lithographs, rubbing books and so on. There were all kinds of books.
Around the walls, other than the ten huge bookshelves, there were also countless yellowed books in the corners.
A conservative estimate of the number of books in this stone room was as many as 100,000.
Seeing Zhou Tong looking at the books, the old fox who was leading the way was faintly proud. His beard was curling up and down.
Zhou Tong felt that it was funny. This old fox had simply learned all the habits of humans.
When many big families showed off their books to others, they probably felt the same way!
Zhou Tong immediately walked towards the books and casually picked up a few books to read. Most of the books were books about Buddhist scriptures. They were all brought out by the foxes after the Great Zen Temple was destroyed.
As expected, when the old fox saw Zhou Tong flipping through the books, he began to explain the origins of these books.
"Sigh, it's a pity that the thousand-year-old temple was burned to the ground because it contacted the remnants of the previous dynasty to rebel." Speaking of the ending of the Great Zen Temple, the old fox was somewhat emotional.
The Great Zen Temple was a thousand-year-old temple. It occupied a large area and was extremely prosperous. It was said that the little monks who came to offer incense to the Buddha and Bodhisattva every day had to ride a horse.
At the same time, this temple was also a martial arts holy land, a cultivation holy land, and a wealth holy land.
"It's hard to say if it was a rebellion, but the Great Qian Dynasty was truly greedy for the wealth and martial arts of the Great Zen Temple." Zhou Tong shook his head. Basically, no capable monarch would tolerate such a place that had accumulated so much wealth, especially a temple that didn't need to pay taxes.
"Senior, you are wise!" The old fox's eyes lit up as he nodded in agreement.
"There are many books here. Can I stay here for a few more days?" Zhou Tong turned his head to look at the old fox and asked.
"Senior, please feel free to read here. I will take care of all your tea and food!" The old cunning fox was very attentive. "As long as you can spare some time to give us some pointers, it will be fine."
Based on Zhou Tong's previous words, the old fox could basically confirm that Zhou Tong was at least somewhat knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to say such words.
Their Pure Fox Clan had always secretly learned the etiquette and language of the Human Race, but they rarely interacted with the Human Race. Now that there was such a person who was willing to live here and communicate with them for a while, he was more than happy to do so.
"My knowledge is limited. There are many things that I have not learned. I am afraid that I will have to disappoint you!" Zhou Tong shook his head.
Regarding the knowledge and principles of this world, he actually didn't know much. Because ever since he came to this world, he had only obtained the memories of the disciples of the Essence Temple. What he knew was basically his own knowledge.
Although many things were similar in terms of basic principles, some of the principles of Shrouding the Heavens World could actually be used in this Sun God World.
But before he truly understood the principles and knowledge of this world, Zhou Tong wasn't willing to say anything more.
"There is no end to learning. There is a saying, 'A clear understanding of worldly affairs is knowledge, and human experience is literature'. Senior, you have traversed mountains and ridges. Just your life experience alone is far from what we wild foxes can compare to. "The old fox said.
"Life experience … That also depends on what kind of experience it is. If I have any experience, there is no harm in teaching you." After pondering for a while, Zhou Tong agreed, "Don't call me 'senior'. I'm not that old. Just call me Zhou Tong!"
As Zhou Tong spoke, his eyes continued to stare at the books on the bookshelf.
"Alright, then you can read slowly here!"
"This old man is going to teach those children. If there's anything you need, just let me know." When the old fox saw that Zhou Tong was flipping through the books again, he nodded his head and said one last time. After that, he went out to greet the other little foxes.
After the old cunning fox left, Zhou Tong quickly turned his gaze to the bookshelf in the middle of the room. His gaze was focused on the two huge books — Martial Scripture and Dao Scripture.
Both books were large volumes, each with dozens of thick volumes.
"The 'Past Amitabha Sutra' should be in the gaps of the Martial Scriptures!" Zhou Tong pondered for a moment before he started reading the two scriptures.
The 'Martial Scripture' and the 'Dao Scripture' were classics compiled by collecting books from all over the world at the beginning of the Great Qian Dynasty. However, not long after this book was compiled, it was immediately treated as a forbidden book by the Great Qian Dynasty. At the same time, the 'Martial Scripture' and the 'Dao Scripture' that were spread among the people were collected and burned together. Anyone who was found to have secretly kept these books was severely punished.
However, the 'Martial Scripture' and the 'Dao Scripture' of the Great Qian Dynasty had many places deleted. Moreover, the things recorded in them were mostly crude.
However, there were many things that Zhou Tong needed. When he came to this world, he only had the 'Mara Hammer'. The rest of his knowledge about martial arts and Taoist magic arts was obtained from the disciples of the Essence Spirit Temple. He needed some other general knowledge about martial arts to supplement his knowledge. Even if the 'Martial Scripture' and the 'Dao Scripture' only talked about the basics, it would do.
After flipping through the two scriptures, the first chapter of this book talked about the principles of martial arts and Taoist magic arts — Crossing the Sea.
The human world was a big sea of bitterness. The human body was the boat that crossed the sea, and the soul was the person in the boat. Martial arts was to cultivate the body so that it could carry people across the sea. Taoist magic arts were to cultivate the soul. When the time came, even if the body decayed, the person in the boat could swim by himself or even change to another boat.
Zhou Tong read very quickly. After he finished reading the two scriptures, he suddenly had a new understanding of the martial arts and Taoist magic arts of this world.
"Martial arts is not much different from what I thought. There is also no method that I really need to open the Aperture acupoints. However, in terms of Taoist magic arts, I have a real comprehensive and systematic understanding!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.
He did know some realms of Taoist magic arts from the original text. However, the original text did not clearly state how to cultivate in all aspects. Therefore, Zhou Tong only knew a general idea. He did not understand the real most basic things at all.
However, the 'Dao Scripture' allowed Zhou Tong to have a comprehensive understanding and understanding of Taoist magic arts. He knew many of its mysteries.
"Of course, the biggest gain is still this!" Zhou Tong held an extremely thin, dark golden, silk-like thing in his hand. It was the 'Sutra of the Past Amitabha' hidden in the gaps of the 'Martial Scripture'.
