No one answered, but Du Bai believed that the owner of the place, the Zelkova Tree Spirit, had heard him.

Because the whole attic is her essence, these books are all knowledge that is transformed from herself.

Sure enough, with the sound of something crawling, two slender branches extended from above, winding around to hand him a yellowed drawing.

When he took it, the branch quickly retracted.

Du Bai was not surprised, after all, in the past two days, he remembered something he was interested in, so he directly asked the other party to take it to him, and he was used to it.

He spread out the map, only to find that it was much larger than he had imagined, almost as tall as an adult in length and width, so he had to put it on the ground and look at it slowly.

This map is not drawn with a ghost town as the center, but the location of the ghost town is carefully marked on the map, about the northwest corner of the map, and it is really not easy to find unless it is specially marked.

On top of that, what really catches the eye on the map is that as soon as you open the map, you can see dozens of thumb-sized black dots scattered around the entire map. It's like the person being painted deliberately scribbling it, sloppily, trying to cover something that shouldn't be seen.

And there is no pattern in it, or a mountain stream or a seaside, it is elusive, but the closer you get to the center of the map, the denser the black dot becomes.

Looking at it, the nearest black spot is only a hundred miles away from the ghost town, which is a very close distance for a ghost that can fly.

"What are these black dots?" Du Bai asked suspiciously.

Soon, a note was handed to him by a branch.

"The place where you can't speak, where you can't read."

Du Bai was curious in his heart, but he didn't get any results when he asked again.

This map was not drawn by the Zelkova Spirit, but was stumbled upon during her travels. It's just that she vaguely knows that the location represented by those black spots is unusual, and even once she has the intention to investigate, she will inexplicably give birth to a huge terror, and she knows that she is not strong enough to continue to explore.

Du Bai felt a little regretful in his heart, guessing that maybe the strength of his predecessor would know some clues, but unfortunately all his memories had been lost, and naturally there was no way to know.

Putting aside this somewhat superfluous curiosity for the time being, he turned his gaze back to the rest of the map and began to search for the location of Qiyuanyang City.

But it's much harder to find than you think.

Fortunately, there is also a mark of the country here, and he quickly found the Holy Dynasty, but he was stunned to find that the Holy Dynasty, which was quite powerful in the scholar's impression, represented only a palm-sized piece on this map, and at a glance, the territory of several countries next to it was much larger than it.

"Liao...... Kuang ......"

His gaze slowly swept over these few countries that only existed in history, and there was some doubt in his eyes.

In his impression, the territory of the Holy Dynasty was very vast, and there were only a few small subject countries around, where were these countries that were more powerful than the Holy Dynasty?

It's just that he realized that something was wrong.

This map was dating back a long time before the beech tree spirit was found, and the depictions were naturally a little different from what they are today.

A conservative estimate should be about 300 years.

According to the historical records of the Holy Dynasty, about 300 years ago, there was a Ming monarch who was both civil and military, and he was obscure for decades, and in one fell swoop, he defeated the surrounding countries that would invade the territory of the Holy Dynasty from time to time, and was widely incorporated into the territory, and the scenery was unique for a while.

As a result, many countries on the map have been lost to the dust of history.

With the bottom in his heart, Du Bai also had a plan when he looked at this map, and according to his memory, he could deduce that the Yuanyang City that appeared was probably in the border area of the Holy Dynasty on this map.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but thank the king back then for expanding his territory, otherwise he would have to suffer from other countries' soldiers and horses from time to time, Yuanyang City would definitely not gradually prosper, and there would be no current Su family and himself.

The ghost town on the map happened to be within the range of another country that had perished, and although it should be within the range of the Holy Dynasty now, it was also three inches away from Yuanyang City. It seems that it is not far, but in fact, Wangshan ran a dead horse, and when the transportation was not convenient in ancient times, perhaps ordinary people might not be able to go so far in their lifetime.

At present, it seems that if the two bodies want to meet, I don't know what year and month it will take.

With a slight regret in his heart, he finally asked the last question: "Do you have a record of the methods of human monks here?" ”

This is also what he needs most at present, and it is also an important foundation for his scholarly body to survive in this era when there is no distinction between people and ghosts.

It's just a pity that the beech tree spirit didn't give him a satisfactory answer.

He only learned that there was no so-called immortal cultivation sect in this world, and there was no clear realm division like in the novels of his previous life, and naturally there was no cultivation method subdivided into each meridian - of course, there would definitely be some previous records passed down as secret books, but that was not a big road item that could be collected by their demons.

To put it simply, the cultivation here seems to be more mysterious.

Mortals can become holy once they have an epiphany, and the world can be at ease, and ascetics who have gone through hardships for a hundred years may end up being nothing but an empty one, turning into a piece of loess in the world.

Here, knights who have practiced swordsmanship for decades can also kill demons with a sword, and monks who have attained the Tao may not have seen the Bodhisattva who has been enshrined for a lifetime. The Tao is wonderful.

Comparatively speaking, demons seem to be cultivating more easily. After they have the opportunity to become demons, they can naturally absorb the aura of heaven and earth for their own use, and over time, the longer they live with the same race, the stronger they become.

So all in all, the beech tree spirit didn't know much about the cultivation path of human beings.

But at the end, a note suddenly came.

"There are all kinds of Taoism in the world, but for us demons, the scholars who have studied the saints and humanities for decades, and are weak but righteous. If you really care about the great Confucianism of the world, even we and other monsters also have respect and dare not hurt at will. ”

When Du Bai saw these words, he was slightly stunned, but he couldn't help but think of the young man he saw at Liu's house that night emitting a faint white light.

"Righteousness? Is that righteousness? ”

He asked again how to cultivate righteousness, and the beech tree spirit just said:

"Study, establish your heart, and establish morality."

This is obviously too vague.

Is it just reading and writing that you can cultivate righteousness? Isn't the righteousness of those scholars rotten streets! But he didn't feel any trace of righteousness in his previous body.

The real key is probably still in this heart and morality. It's just that these secrets still need to be thought about by him, and he can't rush them for a while.

After calming down, he turned his attention to the other books on the shelf.

The attic is divided into three floors, the first floor is a collection of various human classics, including various versions of the Four Books and the Five Classics, the second floor is a variety of secret anecdotes in the world of ghosts, and the last floor, which is also the least number of books, is the record of truly practical magic tricks and magic patterns.

The third floor is also where Du Bai has been lingering most of the past few days.

Although it is expected that it will take a short time to read all the books here, he has learned a lot of knowledge that can be used for him, thanks to the abundance of books here.
