Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty Seven

The space behind the 'door' is neither big nor small, it is about the same size as the living room of a 100-square-meter house. .: . To describe a room of this size as a "library" is really a bit too much.

What's more, what came oncoming was not bookshelves and bookcases full of scriptures and calligraphy volumes, but a broken wooden box placed in the center of the room, and a 'door' on the opposite wall. There is a plaque hanging on the 'door', with the words "Book of Classics and Calligraphy" written squarely on it.

Seeing the 'door' and the plaque on the 'door', Ning Tao was in a bad mood. According to the "urinary" and "nature" of the Tiankeng Clinic, there must be scripture volume three, scripture volume four... scripture volume N behind the scripture volume library, right?

When will this go on?

Ning Tao suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Zeng Ruxian, the fairy Meixiang, and Chen Pingdao, the Tiangou Taoist. Who could stand being cheated like this by the Tiankeng clinic!

But no matter what, after opening the 'door', there is no regret 'medicine' to take. Ning Tao resisted the urge to set the clinic on fire, and walked towards the broken wooden box with heavy steps.

Fortunately, there was no lock on the wooden box. If the lock is locked, there will be a consultation fee for unlocking it. Ning Tao said that he might not be mad.

The box was only the size of a suitcase, and the wood was dusty and unpainted. It looked like a rotten box that had been left in the wilderness for several years, with cracks and dents everywhere.

Ning Tao suspected that as long as he patted it with a little force, the box would shatter and rot into pieces of wood. He carefully grasped the lid of the box and lifted it up gently. That is, when he lifted it, he was immediately startled. This rotten wooden box was extremely heavy, and the box lid alone weighed at least several tens of kilograms!

When the lid of the box was lifted, Ning Tao, who was full of excitement, felt as if someone had poured cold water on his head, and his heart went cold.

Inside the box was a messy thread-bound book with badly frayed edges and the words "Rune Book" written on the dirty cover. There is also a scroll of animal skin, which is very rough, and there are even many black hairs stuck to the animal skin. Whether it's a thread-bound book or an animal skin scroll, they all look like inferior props from domestic fairy tales.

Ning Tao endured the strong sense of gap in his heart, reached out and picked up the "Rune Handbook", and opened the cover.

The first page drew a primitive man without clothes, skinny and small as a 'chicken'.

Ning Tao was dumbfounded, and couldn't help cursing, "Your mother!"

The title of the book is "Rune Handbook", why are you drawing a primitive man? You can paint as long as you paint, why can't you paint a leaf to hide your ugliness? If you insist on drawing that thing, you can draw it bigger!

But just when Ning Tao was swearing,

The primitive man on the first page suddenly moved and stood with his arms and legs outstretched. A dozen runes and related notes suddenly appeared in the blank space next to it.

One of the runes, which is almost the same as the primitive man's posture, has this description: males belong to yang, which is the sun, representing light and destruction. Pronounced "嗤" in the original rune library, it is often used to draw combat symbols that enhance strength...

The following rune graphics are different, but they are all similar. It is not difficult to see the evolution process of this rune. Under each rune, there are detailed notes, how to pronounce it, and what kind of talisman it is used in, etc., which are very detailed.

Seeing this, Ning Tao's mouth was also tightly shut, and he stopped swearing. What he lacks most is the knowledge of runes. This "Runes Handbook" is equivalent to a reference book, which can guide him into the 'door'!

Primitives are constantly changing poses, as are runes and annotations.

For a while, Ning Tao turned to the second page.

On the second page, a primitive 'woman' was drawn, also without clothes, and the artistry was horrible. However, although the painting is terrible, the content is also broad and profound, which makes Ning Tao infinitely useful.

For example, in the lying down position of the original "female", the first rune with a similar figure has such an annotation: "female" belongs to "yin", which is for the moon, representing darkness and life. In the original rune library, it is pronounced as "um", and it is often used to draw "Yin" magic symbols...

On the third page, a stone is drawn, and the stone generates a large number of runes.

The fourth page draws a tree, which in turn spawns a whole bunch of runes.

The fifth page draws a river, and the river spawns a lot of runes.

On the sixth page, a piece of metal is drawn, and a large number of runes are derived from the metal.

On the seventh page, a flame is drawn, and a large number of runes are derived from the flame.

A total of seven pages, men and women, and then gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Although Ning Tao was in contact with it for the first time, he could also understand that this rune manual covered 'yin', yang and the five elements, and the runes in the cultivation world evolved from 'yin', yang and the five elements. As long as he masters the above knowledge, there will be no runes in this world that he doesn't know! Even if it is a talisman drawn by a primitive cultivator tens of thousands of years ago, he can read it!

"Huh! There is one more page?" When Ning Tao turned to the seventh page, there was a cover page at the back, but after he stroked it, he found that there was another page stuck on the seventh page.

Ning Tao carefully separated the two sheets of book paper that were glued together, and there was indeed an eighth page.

On the eighth page, there is a drawing of a magic talisman, and related notes: Pulling out the talisman, the material is a piece of spiritual paper, three inches long and two inches wide, drawn with rat blood mixed with incense ash and supplemented by spiritual power. This talisman can pull out acne, viruses, congestion, and arrows, and has the effects of analgesia, calming the nerves, relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation. When in use, stuff it into a bamboo jar and light it with a spiritual fire.

this……

your mother!

Ning Tao's magic talisman is useless for ordinary practitioners. He finally got an exclusive magic talisman that he can draw and use, but he didn't expect it to be a cupping talisman.

What he wants in his heart is the kind of powerful magic talisman that can turn into a lightning bolt when thrown out, and split the enemy into a fireball, or the kind of invisibility that can be pasted on the forehead so that no one can see him symbol. No matter how bad it is, it should be the type of 'Yin' Valley Town Spirit Talisman used by Tang Zixian. Once pasted, it can hide one's spiritual strength and even change one's appearance, so no one familiar with it can recognize it. However, what was placed in front of him was just a cupping talisman.

Ning Tao was depressed for a long time before he said a word, "Well, I am a practitioner of cultivation, and it is only right for me to 'spend' 5,000 consultation fees to buy a cupping talisman. I will change the clinic to Ning's later. Tuina parlor, I specialize in cupping for people, okay?"

His soliloquy echoed in the empty scripture and calligraphy library, and it was just his soliloquy.

Ning Tao put the "Rune Manual" back into the wooden box, and picked up the animal skin scroll. Although he knew the nature of urine in the Tiankeng Clinic and expected that the things on the animal skin scroll would not be good, he still couldn't help being curious and a little excited.

What will be on the scroll of animal skins?

Ning Tao carefully opened the animal skin scroll, and a piece of animal skin one foot wide and two feet long appeared in front of him immediately, and then he froze.

The three words "Your Sutra" are written on the animal skin scroll, just these three words, and then there is a large blank.

"Your scriptures? Does this mean...my scriptures?" Ning Tao said to himself, feeling depressed and strange.

When Ning Tao said "your sutra", the animal skin scroll did not respond at all, but after he said the three words "my sutra", new content suddenly appeared on the animal skin scroll.

Ning Tao read it out, "I was breathing in the womb, and I heard the voice of the Great Dao."

when!

Just after reading this sentence, a bell rang in Ning Tao's mind. The voice seemed to come from the distant starry sky where the distance cannot be calculated, it was distant and mysterious. At this moment, his whole mind became quiet, and he entered a state of not being happy with things nor sad with himself.

Ning Tao then read the second sentence, "When heaven and earth gave birth to me, my parents left me."

Isn't this about his own life?

He is a born middleman between good and evil, and his parents were doomed to leave him as soon as he was born.

Sadness welled up in his heart, and two tears rolled down from his eyes.

Strangely, when he was weeping sadly, no new content appeared on the animal skin scroll.

Ning Tao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and re-read the first sentence, "I was breathing in the womb, and I heard the sound of the Great Dao."

when!

The bell of the Great Dao rang, and Ning Tao's body and mind calmed down again, neither happy with things nor sad with himself. Then, he read the second sentence, "When heaven and earth gave birth to me, my parents left me."

The voices and smiles of his father and mother came out of his mind uncontrollably, and he fell into sadness again, tears rolled down again.

This time also failed.

After repeated several times, Ning Tao still failed. He was surprised, "This scripture is so difficult to read in just two sentences. How difficult should it be to read it to the end?"

After several attempts, Ning Tao gave up. He picked up the "Rune Manual" and "Your Sutra", and then came to the "door" of the scripture and calligraphy volume library on the front wall. Reach out and push.

The "door" of the library of the scriptures and calligraphy volumes remains motionless.

Ning Tao then opened the bamboo slips of the account book, and it really reminded him that he needed 10,000 good and evil consultation fees to open it.

Ning Tao smiled wryly, "Why don't you grab the 10,000 consultation fee?"

No one responded.

Ning Tao turned around and walked towards the first warehouse 'door', thinking to himself, "Next time I save up to 5,000 consultation funds, I will open the warehouse 'door' of the medicine equipment warehouse. Let's see how far you can fool me!"

That's what he said, but he still knew in his heart that the "Rune Manual" and "Your Sutra" he got were treasures that were very useful to him. Needless to say the function of the "Rune Manual", he is very clear about its usefulness, but "Your Sutra" confuses him. No matter how hard he tried, he could only read two sentences, and nothing new appeared. The sentence "When heaven and earth gave birth to me, my parents left me" seems to be a hurdle to pass, and it will make me sad no matter how I read it.

But just when he was thinking about this sentence in his heart, sadness came to his heart like a 'tide'. Ning Tao was suddenly surprised, and then he said silently in his heart, "I was breathing in the womb, and I heard the voice of the Great Dao."

when!

The bell of the avenue rang in his mind, and he was calm again.

"Is this because I carried "Your Sutra" with me?" Ning Tao analyzed in his heart, then he turned back and put "Your Sutra" back into the tattered wooden box, and then quit the scripture calligraphy Juan Ku read the second sentence silently in his heart, "When heaven and earth gave birth to me, my parents left me."

Sad from the heart, Ning Tao couldn't help crying again.

Then, he stood there without moving for a long time.

Is there a smooth and smooth road to cultivating the Tao?
