Start as a Temple Spirit

Chapter 111 Leather Books

In the stone room illuminated by the sparks, the stone table and stone chairs came into Shang Liang's sight, followed by the dusty stone bed leaning against the stone wall.

Looking around, there are bookshelves made of carved stone on the stone wall, and then nothing.

The entire stone chamber is only about ten square meters, and it really has a panoramic view.

Shang Liangshan turned his gaze to the only bookshelf with something on it.

On the dusty bookshelf, there are a few leather books and a small black stone man that exudes spiritual charm.

"What is this?" The thought came to his mind, and Shang Liangshan walked over, picked up the little stone man and began to look at it.

This little black stone figure looks like a casual carving, but the spiritual charm it contains should not be underestimated.

Moreover, this spiritual charm gave Shang Liangshan a sense of familiarity.

By the way, this spiritual charm is very similar to the spiritual charm of the cube. Could it be the stone body of the cube?

No, this stone chamber must have existed for many years.

The cube was only created in recent years, and its stone body has been broken.

This is what Fangkuai told him after he was promoted to the third level. It is Fangkuai’s obsession.

"Liangshan, Liangshan..." The sound of the relics came down from above, forming an echo in the stone chamber.

"There's no danger, come in." Shang Liangshan replied.

Soon, the relic came down with a "thump thump" sound, looked around the stone chamber, and showed regret on his face. The treasure house he had been expecting was gone.

His eyes quickly locked onto the black stone figure in Shang Liangshan's hand, and he asked in confusion, "Is there something strange about this black stone sculpture?"

"This should be the stone embryo. The cube has a body." Shang Liangshan collected the little stone man and pointed to the leather books on the bookshelf and said, "Whether there are any unexpected gains depends on them."

It was not until then that Yi Tu noticed the leather book covered in dust, and his eyes lit up.

He walked forward and carefully picked up the leather book, without even shaking the ashes, and began to read it by the light of the fire. He was dumbfounded by the result.

It's not that the leather book is damaged, nor is the writing blurred, on the contrary, the writing is very clear, but with an ancient charm.

The problem lies with the ancient rhyme, because he cannot understand ancient characters.

Shang Liangshan glanced at the ancient characters, then turned around silently and walked towards the stairs, because he didn't understand the characters that looked like oracle bone script, so he left a message: "Take it back to show the Great Elder."

These words were like a guiding light. Yi Tu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

After he put away the books, he glanced unwillingly at the stone chamber and followed Shang Liangshan upstairs, with disappointment written all over his face.

"Seventh Elder, Sixth Elder." The local militiamen greeted Shang Liangshan and Yitu when they saw them walk out one after another.

"Shi Tou, take a few people with torches and clean out the stone chamber to see if you can find any antiques." Yi Tu ordered.

"Yes," said the middle-aged man with eight-pack abs, Shitou, who straightened his body and accepted the order.

When Yi Tu saw the local warriors, they all looked at the leather books in their hands. Without any explanation, they jumped onto the phantom thundercloud summoned by Shang Liangshan and roared away together.

As a result, when the two of them just flew over the village, they remembered that Yifeng had led the team out and had not returned yet. What should they do?

Then, the two men set their sights on Yang Chao, who was on the top of the rock and directing the villagers to work.

The phantom thunderclouds were floating down and were put away. Shang Liangshan walked towards the dead old patriarch who was lying in the wooden pavilion.

After Yi Tu called out to Yang Chao, he followed closely.

The old patriarch opened his eyes, looked at Shang Liang and asked, "Liang Shan, what did you and Lao Tu do?"

Just as Shang Liangshan was about to respond, Yi Tu's voice rang out first: "Don't mention it. We dug up a stone chamber and ended up finding a few books and a stone sculpture."

Yi Tu took a sip of tea, and when Yang Chao came closer, he recounted the whole process of discovering the sarcophagus and the stone chamber.

"Stone body? Can the blocks be used?" Yang Chao asked, grasping the key point.

"It should work." Shang Liangshan said uncertainly.

"Liang Shan, you have to trust your intuition." Yang Chao encouraged, then picked up the leather book and started reading.

Just one glance and he became interested. He carefully opened the ancient book and read it attentively.

"There is hope." This is what the old patriarch, Yi Tu, and Shang Liangshan are thinking.

Time passed quickly while waiting, because after Yang Chao took a few glances at the book, he closed it silently.

He said uncertainly, "The characters on this leather book are ancient characters. I don't recognize many of them, but they look like secret manuals of martial arts."

"Like a secret manual of martial arts?" The three old clan leaders were silent upon hearing this.

Because I want to ask something, but I don’t know where to start. After all, I haven’t read enough.

"I'm reading a few other books." Yang Chao said without blushing or beating his heart.

It really fits the saying, as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

As Yang Chao flipped through, no, looked through, the five leather books, they became popular.

When he picked up the last book and started reading it, his body trembled.

"What's wrong?" Shang Liangshan noticed Yang Chao's abnormality at the first moment and couldn't help but ask.

"Huh..." Yang Chao took a deep breath. Under the concerned gazes of the three people, he finally caught his breath after a while. He whispered in a trembling voice, "It's an ancient mechanical device."

"What kind of mechanical technology is this? What is it for refining?" The old patriarch straightened his body and asked with shining eyes.

"At first glance, it looks like a mechanical beast." Yang Chao replied.

"I thought it was something else, a mechanical beast. Don't you know how to refine it?" said the old patriarch disappointedly.

"No, no, no, they are different. The ancient mechanical beasts are different from the ones we have now. They are mechanical beasts that can be refined and controlled by people at different levels."

"Bang" the old patriarch and the remains jumped up on the ground upon hearing this.

"Calm down, calm down." Shang Liangshan said hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, yes, stay calm, nothing happened, put them away, put away the ancient books." The old patriarch clenched his fist and said in a low voice.

"Yeah, yeah." Yang Chao nodded and waved his hand to put away the six ancient books.

"Hu" a rough breathing sound was heard. It goes without saying that the rough breathing sound came from the old patriarch, Yi Tu, and Yang Chao.

"The stone chamber needs to be dealt with. I'll go back to the Huawai Taoist Temple first. Fang Kuai has come out of seclusion." After Shang Liangshan finished speaking, he disappeared on the spot without raising any smoke or dust.

"Lao Tu, go back and see what else is in the stone chamber. Well, tell others that these are leather books made of animal skins." The old patriarch pondered.

"What should we do with the stone chamber?" Yi Tu stood up and asked.

"Let's build a farmhouse." The old patriarch said after thinking for a while.

"Okay." Yitu nodded and turned to leave.

Sometimes deliberately covering up will attract attention, so it is better to show it openly.

“Xiao Chao, you keep these six leather books first. When Lao Feng comes back, you two can study them together. We will treat them as leather books, just animal skins.”

"I understand." Yang Chao nodded and after taking a sip of tea, he went to direct the workers to work.

The old patriarch let out a breath, drank a cup of tea, and then lay back on the stone chair, continuing to be a lazy guy. Everything as usual was the best cover-up.

In the Huawai Taoist temple, the monks who had just come out of retreat surrounded Shang Liangshan and asked for praise.
