Chapter 150: 10,000 Years Ago
Unspeakably excited and happy, the moment Wang Lin entered the Scripture Pavilion, he was deeply attracted by the many books here. I can't say why, but he just loves these scriptures.
Maybe it's because they've been in exile all these years, and even the basic literacy is carried out in the Wumeng Su family and Su Luolan and Su Mingde's siblings.
Although Wang Lin knows a lot of words now, he still likes these scriptures. The truth of being a human being can be learned by rolling in the red dust, but history and other knowledge do not mean that you will be able to understand it after a long life.
After that visit, Wang Lin became obsessed with reading. Even every time he eats, he is brought to him by Goun, for which he is still embarrassed. But as Wu En came more often, the two of them became more familiar, and that's it. Sometimes when Goun and he read a book together, he rushes ahead of Goun to fetch food for two.
Wang Ling doesn't have to eat, but he also likes to read. His way of reading is different from Wang Lin's, Wang Lin takes down several books he likes together, and then finds a table and chair to read. And Wang Ling flies to climb on whichever book he likes, and it won't take long to finish reading one, which is ten times faster than Wang Lin.
The scriptures they like are also different, Wang Lin is not interested in all kinds of martial arts, and he is not very interested in Buddhism. His favorites are books that describe history.
However, Wang Ling likes Buddhist books the most, and sometimes Wang Lin has not seen him for a long time, and when he comes to look for him, he can be seen falling asleep on the bookshelf.
Although not every day people come to read the book, someone comes to clean it every day. A few days later, Wang Lin took on the task of cleaning the Scripture Pavilion. He was embarrassed about his life of doing nothing here, and to be a man, he had to give and get, and he understood this truth as early as when he was seven or eight years old.
Wang Lin focuses on understanding the history of 10,000 years ago when reading books, but there are very few books about 10,000 years ago here. There is only one book "The Advent of the Demons" that says that the demons came to this world almost 10,000 years ago.
As soon as the demons descended, it was like endless locusts passing through the farmer's field, and everything that was alive between heaven and earth was devoured. Humanity could not resist by all means, and after that battle, the human race was reduced by more than half. Since then, mankind has fallen into an existential crisis.
According to the book, the world was peaceful and prosperous, and there was a lot of etiquette and morality between people. In addition, at that time, all the places inhabited by the human race were governed by the state, and even if wars broke out occasionally, Buddhist cultivators never participated.
But now it's different, only the middle ground between the Buddha Domain and the Dao Domain can maintain the country, and the rest of the country is divided into huge cities like a wasteland. Moreover, there is a sect guarding the edge of every large or small city, and even in those places where there can be a prosperous country, there is a sect guarding it secretly.
The reason for this is that there are too many dangers around the human race now, and it is a disaster that will destroy the city and destroy people if you are not careful! Among them, the demon race that is all over the boundless realm and the demon race that has been sealed for a long time but constantly overflows the demon qi is the biggest threat.
"The Advent of the Demon Race" uses very little ink to introduce that most of the demon clans at that time were in the demon domain, although there is no harmony between the demons, but it has not reached the point where either you die or I live.
But I don't know what happened later, which led to the appearance of the demon clan now dominating the world and the demon clan hiding the crisis.
"Senior Brother Wuen, do you know where there is an introduction about 10,000 years ago? I have read a lot, but I don't know the details of the events at that time, and I always have the feeling of seeing flowers in a fog. Wang Lin asked unsatisfactorily, and Wu En, who was also looking at the scriptures on the side.
"There are only a few books about the records of that time, and they are only about the living environment of human beings and the distribution of political power 10,000 years ago. If you want to know the exact thing, you can ask the master or preside over them. "Wu En didn't care.
In the past, he had been curious about these historical events, but he had never done so. Ten thousand years ago, where is it so easy to trace.
"If they say they've told me a long time ago, I'd better look for it myself. Remembering that every time he asked Wuyan before and didn't tell himself, Wang Lin smiled bitterly. The path of knowledge is as difficult to walk as the path of cultivation.
As he spoke, Wang Lin put away the books on the table, and planned to go to the sea of books to find what he wanted to know.
"Senior Brother Wang, there are no books about the origin of the demon clan ten thousand years ago and the demon clan spreading all over the world in a short period of time. Wang Lin thought that Wu En wanted to let himself not waste his efforts, but Wu En sighed lightly and continued: "But here is an introduction to the classification of demons, I don't know how long it has been here, but everyone who comes here has more or less understood it, but I don't know if you can see it?"
Wang Lin's eyes widened, and he urged: "Senior Brother Wuen, why didn't you take it out earlier." Now the demon race and the demon race are the two major disasters of our human race, and it is incumbent on everyone to know themselves and their opponents. ”
"You won't feel that way when you read it, the book is in the drawer of the table in the middle, you go and take it out, and I'll show you the Dharma Protector. Wu En put down the scriptures in his hand and said solemnly to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin doesn't know much about Wu'en's caution, isn't it just a book, and it's not a monster, why do you need to be like this.
But when Wang Lin went to open the table drawer, he knew that he was wrong. First of all, there was a yellow talisman suppressed outside the drawer, and the talisman was still flashing from time to time.
Wang Lin opened the drawer, and in the drawer was a jade book, each page was very thick, and it looked like a dozen pages roughly.
On the jade book, a large "demon" character is written on the iron painting silver hook, and there are special runes outside the book outlining a complex pattern, showing the appearance of a Buddha, and there is a golden light circulating between these runes. Between the pages of the book, a trace of black gas emitted from time to time, and then it was stopped by the golden brilliance on the writing, and pressed back into the page again.
Wang Lin stretched out his hand to take out the jade book, and could feel that there was a lot of terrifying aura surrounding him. He took a deep breath and could clearly feel the sound of his heart beating.
Wang Lin brought the jade book back, and Wu En took out a piece of talisman paper and pasted it on Wang Lin's body. Then he slowly opened the first page of the jade book under the gaze of Wu En.
"Nine thousand years ago, the demon clan suddenly descended on the heavens and the earth, bringing a heavy disaster to my boundless creatures with the power of destroying the heavens and the earth. Although they were temporarily sealed at great cost, they will one day make a comeback.
In order to let the future generations not know much about this great calamity of heaven and earth, I specially made this jade book. Take the corpse of the Nine Demon Clan, and seal it into the jade, with a knowable introduction, hoping to help future generations fight this calamity. ”
In the book, the voice of the middle-aged monk with a bald head and big ears and a light in the back of his head sounded into Wang Lin's mind, making Wang Lin feel like he was facing a monk who was teaching him.
