Chapter 173: The Clues of the Beast Clan (Part I) The Third Update!
Behind the Dan Dao bookshelves, there are three bookshelves made of the most precious blood dragon wood, which are marked with the words "Dan Artifact Division", but unfortunately the bookshelves are empty.
Sun Ang smiled slightly, maybe this is the "ambition" of the Heavenly Saint Academy, but unfortunately there is no way to achieve it.
Further back, there are still a few rows of bookshelves that seem to be relatively deserted, and many places are covered with dust, except for the middle rows of bookshelves that seem to be often looked through.
When he walked over and looked at it, he understood: there were essays from his predecessors, or books on travelogues and biographies.
The most read are the books that the predecessors and powerhouses recorded their combat experiences, and the disciples probably want to learn some combat experience from them.
And those that no one cares about, of course, are travelogues and other notes.
Sun Ang thought about it, since he came, he simply finished reading them, and these books would take about a few days.
He sat down and pulled out a travelogue and read it, as a pastime.
This look was a whole day, and in the evening, he finished reading a "Taiyue" travelogue of a senior powerhouse at the peak of the Extreme Realm, put it back in the bookshelf, and pulled out an ancient book next to him.
As soon as he started this ancient book, Sun Ang felt a little different, although most of them were ancient books, but it was the first time that such an ancient book felt in his hand.
He looked down and saw that the book was very tattered, and the material from which it was made was not paper.
There was a line of words on the cover that was crooked like a ghost drawing, and Sun Ang couldn't even figure out how many words it was.
Fortunately, he is a master creator, and after careful study, he was sure. The material used in this book is a leaf called the "Tenmu beech", which is a very rare tree. Able to grow straight to a height of thousands of zhang, the trunk itself is an eighth-order material, even if it is a leaf, it is as high as a seventh-order, and it is extremely tough, even if it is an ordinary fourth-order or fifth-order divine soldier, it cannot be easily cut.
He looked at the book made of beech leaves in his hand. It seems that the book will be completely shattered if you accidentally pinch it hard: "How many years has it been?"
He looked at it cautiously. The text on the pages inside was the same as the cover, and Sun Ang couldn't read it at all. He frowned and set the book aside.
He remembered that he had heard of it before, in the era of the hundred tribes. Each thriving ethnic group has developed its own civilization. There are some races among them who like to use the leaves of the beech tree to write records.
"Could it be that it was handed down from that era?"
The Great War of the Hundred Tribes eventually destroyed the Hundred Tribes. It also buried most of the civilizations of the hundred ethnic groups, and many classics were also destroyed in the war. Regardless of the content of this classic, the historical value of itself is also very high.
Sun Ang sighed secretly and looked at the book in front of him: "It's a pity, there is a strong pressure from the outside of the demon race, and the human race is not very interested in where it came from and what it has experienced in history, and it is relaxed and lazy about these ancient books that cannot enhance their own strength." ”
This ancient book has traveled through millions of years. can only be buried in the pile of old papers, no one cares.
Sun Ang put the book aside and went to look at the others first. After spending a few days and reading all the remaining books, he walked out with this one and asked several guards at the door: "Can I take this book out, I don't know the text on it, I want to ask my uncle." ”
The tutors looked at the number of the books and immediately understood that this belonged to the "unimportant" collection, and said with a smile: "No problem, just register, you need to borrow for a few days?"
Sun Ang said while registering: "Five days." ”
......
This trip to the Heavenly Saint Martial Academy had a huge harvest, and it would take Sun Ang a few days to digest. On the third day after coming out of the Heavenly Saint Martial Academy, he sorted out the harvest this time, and then visited Qin Liben with that mysterious ancient book.
After the old man knew his intention, he took the book and looked at it, and said casually: "Oh, it's the text of the beast clan." ”
"Beast Clan?" a glimmer of hope rose in Sun Ang's heart, it was the only race in the Hundred Races Era that could be related to the current Violent Beasts.
Qin Liben said: "You wait, Uncle Shi has a beast script comparison table, I'll go find it for you, and you can translate it by yourself." ”
Not long after Qin Liben went to the study, he came out with a thin booklet and handed it to Sun Ang: "Just translate it against every word." The Orcs were ranked last in wisdom among the hundred tribes back then, and their words were also plagiarized everywhere, cobbled together, and there was no grammar - that kind of thing, the Orcs couldn't learn at all. ”
Sun Angru received the treasure, and after thanking his uncle, he hurried back to translate.
Sure enough, as Qin Liben said, when it was really translated, Sun Ang found that the words of the beast clan were extremely "rough", sometimes one word expressed several meanings, and sometimes it took seven or eight words to be put together to express a complete meaning.
And the line on the cover of this ancient book means: Beast Temple!
Born in the mountains and forests, the beasts are born close to nature and can receive various gifts from nature. Therefore, in the era of the Hundred Clans, whether it was a divine weapon or a divine object, the beast clan was not good at it, and what they were best at was to directly dig out a piece of ninth-order material and grind it into a stone axe to slash and kill the enemy.
The orcs are inherently able to find all kinds of precious materials hidden in the deep mountains and rivers, and the orc temple is used to store these precious materials.
What is recorded in this book is the name of one hundred and eight beast clan temples, and Sun Ang is greatly disappointed.
Even if they knew that the orcs were so rich back then that they could fill one hundred and eight temples with all kinds of precious materials? Millions of years have passed, and even the orcs have forgotten, can these temples still exist? Those races that have destroyed the orcs have long been looted.
But he still finished the translation of the book seriously, in addition to recording the name of the beast temple and the location of the year, this is also a list, listing the most important and precious materials in each temple.
Sun Ang completed the task, shook his head slightly, closed the book and prepared to return it.
But at the moment when the page fell back, Sun Ang seemed to see something, and he immediately picked it up again and carefully rolled up the entire book, for fear that he would accidentally destroy the ancient book.
After a certain degree of curling, each page reveals a bit of the edge of the text, and the whole book is joined together to become a map!
Sun Ang hurriedly drew it, and then translated those marks one by one, there were three place names: Cangyuan, Taiye Mountain, and Fierce Beast Ridge.
Sun Ang frowned slightly, and tucked the map into his belt.
Then, he returned the ancient book back to the Heavenly Saint Martial Academy. After returning from the Heavenly Saint Martial Academy, Sun Ang turned into a lively teahouse in Taixian City, spent a few taels of silver, and chatted casually with Dr. Tea seemingly unintentionally, and asked him if he had heard of Cangyuan.
Dr. Tea shook his head blankly.
Sun Ang was not discouraged, he changed four teahouses in one night, and finally the last one looked quite old, the shopkeeper chatted with him casually while settling accounts: "Oh, Cangyuan, the guest officer really asked the right person, no one knows about the young people now, I'm afraid the older generation is not worth much, when I was young, I followed the caravan to the north and south, and went to most of the places in Daqin, from Taixian City to the east, about three hundred miles, there is a place called Udon City, it is said that in ancient times it was called Cangyuan."
In fact, even their locals don't know if this is the case, they just infer that a huge stone tablet was once found on the mountain near them, with the words Cangyuan engraved on it. ”
Sun Ang quietly thanked the shopkeeper, continued to drink tea and eat melon seeds, and spent half an hour before checking out and leaving.
The next day, he packed up his things and just told Zhong Zhenhe that he was going out, Zhong Zhenhe saw that he was mysterious and secretive, so he agreed without asking too much.
Sun Ang got out of the inn, first found an inn and asked for a room, and after paying the room fee, he went into the room to change his clothes, disguised himself to hide people's eyes, and then waited until it was dark and quietly slipped out of the window.
He changed to an inn and rested for the night, made sure that no one was following him, and left the city early the next morning.
......
Udon City is an ordinary small city in Daqin, not on any traffic arteries, there is no special production around, the circumference of the city is more than ten miles, and there are only twenty or thirty thousand people in the city.
Such a small city, where outsiders rarely visit, makes it seem quiet and peaceful, and the inhabitants of the city live a simple life.
Sun Ang now looks like an Angzang man, he has been getting taller and taller in recent years, although he is only sixteen years old, he is already taller than the average adult.
He found an inn to live in, casually asked the shopkeeper about the customs around here, and it didn't take much effort to find out about the famous stone tablet carved with the two big characters "Cangyuan".
The shopkeeper introduced very enthusiastically: "Guest officer, if you want to play, Cangyuan is not a good place to go, although it is said that this stele was discovered at the beginning, because it is an ancient thing, it has attracted some strong people to observe, but there is only such a stele in that area, and everything else is just a deep mountain and old forest, and there is no good scenery." There is only one small village next to it, and it is not convenient to eat, drink and stay.
I recommend you to go to Xiushuiling, where the green mountains and green waters are beautiful, and there are flocks of wild birds flying by, our dignitaries in the city like to go there to play, and it is very convenient to have everything in the town over there. ”
Sun Ang's heart moved, and he asked, "Oh, when the Cangyuan Stone Tablet was discovered, there were still strong people coming?"
The shopkeeper pouted: "It's just those guys around who have no hope of improving, Shouyuan is approaching, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will come immediately." ”
Sun Ang asked, "Did you find anything?" (to be continued......)
