Zhou Rufei, a merchant, walked into the only bookstore in Sixiang Town with a heavy load: Sansheng Study. Zhang Busheng, the old shopkeeper with a goatee, is an old pedant, he has no energy to be a private school gentleman when he is old, he opened a bookstore in the town, chatting to get by, looking at Zhou Rufei's heavy object that bent the flat shoulder, Zhang Busheng, who has a straight face all the year round, showed a little smile.

"Mr. Zhang, I have prepared all the books you wanted. Zhou Rufei is a merchant, accept the commission of the store in the town, buy goods outside, make some hard money, this trip Zhang Busheng's commission, he really tired enough, ran a lot of places, before Zhang Busheng's books were ready, but thinking of Zhang Busheng's generous remuneration, Zhou Rufei also showed a satisfied smile.

Zhang Busheng put down the teapot in his hand and said, "Zhishu, take it all apart and put it up." ”

Song Zhishu, Zhang Busheng's little scholar, is clever, and when he heard the words, he immediately cleverly opened the package, turned out a book with the fragrance of ink, compared them with the list one by one, and spent a cup of tea to complete the inventory.

Song Zhishu handed the list to Zhang Busheng with both hands and said, "Master, the original list of books is not bad, in good condition, but there are twenty-one more old books." ”

"Oh!" Zhang Busheng glanced at Zhou Rufei.

Zhou Rufei immediately said nervously: "Mr. Zhang, when passing by Bozhou Mansion, a broken Xiucai sells books for a living, and the books are all in Xiucai's house, that is, the last few books are left, and they are sold cheaply, only one gold, I thought that the collection of books in Xiucai's house must be good, so I bought it, if you don't like it, I can keep it and sell it myself." ”

Zhang Busheng came to the pile of old books and doubled, are some ordinary old books in general quality, only a pale yellow thick book attracted Zhang Busheng's attention, pick it up and take a look, it turned out to be a book of animal skins, animal skin is as thick as nails, the whole animal skin is folded up, open it is several meters long, the whole illustration and dense small words, the illustrations are lifelike, there are strange beasts and sacred mountains, these are the strange beasts that appeared in ancient legends, no one in the world has ever seen them, the dense small characters, this ancient inscription Zhang Busheng has never seen, naturally it is unrecognizable。

Zhang Busheng quietly put together the animal skin book and said: "Your gold is worth it, those old books are not worth a few dollars, what is valuable is this animal skin book, the words in it are all ancient inscriptions, our Sixiang Town, only Liu Nianhan and Su Tong know this ancient inscription, and they also like to collect such books, but Mr. Liu is about to travel far away, you sell this book to Su Tong, presumably Su Tong will not be stingy." ”

Scholars do business is not as good as the businessman, Zhang Busheng truthfully informed Zhou Rufei of the value of the animal skin book, Zhou Rufei is well versed in the way of businessmen, and the future cooperation with Zhang Busheng is a long-term cooperation, can not covet the immediate interests, Zhou Rufei said: "I accept Mr. Zhang's commission, this thing should be Mr. first, all up to Mr. to decide." ”

Zhang Busheng nodded, and then said to Song Zhishu: "Give Zhou Shanglang two more gold." ”

After counting the books and settling the accounts, Zhou Rufei carried the empty load and left Zhang Busheng's bookstore happily. Zhang Busheng personally selected a few books and handed them to Song Zhishu along with the animal skin book, and said, "Good life wrap up, wait for Su Tong to come and pick it up." ”

There were no customers in Sansheng Bookstore at this time, Song Zhishu shook his head and read while observing the flow of people in front of the door, Su Tong entered Sansheng Bookstore, Song Zhishu always felt a little familiar, since he got the method of stone tablets, Su Tong's temperament has changed dramatically.

Looking at the puzzled Song Zhishu, Su Tong smiled and said, "Zhishu, have all the books I ordered here?" Books are the best reading materials to understand the world, so Su Tong often orders books at Sansheng Bookstore.

Song Zhishu's eyes lit up and said, "It's Brother Tong, here, the books are here." Song Zhishu said as he took out the book and said, "This time our bookstore received another ancient book, and the words in it are all ancient inscriptions. ”

Ancient Books! Ancient Inscriptions!

Su Tong's eyes flashed and said, "Bring it to me and take a look." "Su Tong followed Liu Nianhan to learn ancient inscriptions, and the most important thing is to read ancient books to understand the past history of this world.

Song Zhishu handed the pale yellow animal skin book to Su Tong, as soon as he touched the animal skin book, Su Tong had a strange feeling, the animal skin book Su Tong had collected a lot, but there was never a animal skin book that would convey a warm jade-like feeling, slowly opened the animal skin book, and four slightly larger ancient inscriptions came into view: the lamp was immeasurable, and next to the ancient inscription was a Buddha statue.

Su Tong's heart shook violently, this kind of ancient inscription, in the earth's time and space, is the Chinese character Xiao Seal, is the pre-Qin script, Su Tong has studied calligraphy since childhood, has carefully studied for a period of time, naturally recognized this kind of writing, suddenly saw this kind of pre-Qin script, Su Tong seems to have an illusion, as if he has returned to the earth's time and space.

In the earth's time and space, the ancient Buddha of the lamp is also called the light of the Buddha, the light of the light, its disciple is Shakyamuni, the ancient Buddha of the lamp is noble, and the Buddha, Maitreya Buddha and one of the three major masters of Buddhism, among which the Buddha of the Buddha is the Buddha of this life, is the present Buddha, the Buddha of the lamp is the past, for the past Buddha, Maitreya is the future, for the future Buddha.

If the Buddha statue in this beast skin book is really the ancient Buddha of the burning lamp, and the pre-Qin script, then Su Tong almost concluded that either there was a visitor from the earth, or there was some kind of connection between this world and the earth's time and space. This is a shocking secret for Su Tong.

Su Tong's hands trembled a little, and he continued to open the animal skin book, which was filled with illustrations and small seal characters one by one, this was not the time to look closely, Su Tong closed the animal skin book and said: "I want this book!"

Su Tong didn't have time to ask the price, he gave Song Zhishu some silver coins, wrapped the book and hurried away, his heart was so chaotic, he thought of his relatives who were far away on the earth, if there was some kind of connection between this world and the earth's time and space, it meant that he could return to the earth and see his relatives who were separated by a time and space.

Suddenly, Su Tong was extremely eager to become strong and pursue this secret.

Su Tong, who was in a state of turmoil, originally wanted to buy some goods, but when he touched the animal skin book in his arms, he changed his attention in an instant, and went back to Xiaojia Village first.

Su Tong didn't want his whereabouts to be discovered, so he was going to go west, climb over a big mountain, go down the river for one hundred and twenty miles, and then cross the river and cross a few mountains to Xiaojia Village, such a route is the most secret, Su Tong doesn't want to be found to be from Xiaojia Village.

Such a choice is undoubtedly safer, but the disadvantage is that the mountain road is more difficult to walk, if it weren't for Su Tong's familiarity with the Cangmang Mountains, I'm afraid that he would have been lost in this primeval forest without walking many miles.
