"Brother Lin, take care!"

Zhang Baoyi sent Lin Yuan out of the door with a smile on his face, attracting many strange looks from passers-by.

It seemed that he was surprised that Zhang, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, who was known for his bad temper, would be so... respectful to a strange boy.

You know.

Even if he was the son of the county magistrate, he couldn't be treated like this. At most, he would be more polite when talking.

Zhang Baoyi turned a deaf ear to the strange looks around him.

These people know nothing!

A warrior at the ninth level of the blood exchange realm, let alone a small branch hall leader, even the branch leader had to be polite.

What's more, Lin Yuan was only sixteen years old!

Sixteen years old! !

What was his cultivation level when he was sixteen?

Zhang Baoyi thought carefully and it seemed to be the third level of the skin refining realm.....

And he is already thirty years old this year, and he is still at the fourth level of blood exchange. If nothing unexpected happens, the end of this life will be the real Gang realm.

But what about Lin Yuan?

Real Gang is just the beginning for him.

"Come on, prepare the car, I want to see the branch leader!" Zhang Baoyi suddenly shouted. "Boss, your injury..." A confidant beside him said worriedly. "It's just a minor injury." Zhang Baoyi waved his hand indifferently. He only broke three ribs, which was indeed a minor injury for a blood exchange warrior like him. It's obvious. Lin Yuan was very measured in his attack. Otherwise, it would not be just a simple broken rib. Young, talented, strong, decisive but able to distinguish the importance of the important... As long as such a person does not die halfway, it is almost certain that he will enter the top level of the Giant Whale Gang headquarters in the future! "Boss, the car is here!" Soon, a carriage stopped outside the door. Zhang Baoyi strode into the carriage, sat down with a big horse and a golden knife, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" Although he told Lin Yuan that it would be tomorrow, he planned to deal with the matter now, and when Lin Yuan came tomorrow, he would directly hand over! Highlight a positive and reliable person! *********

After leaving the Giant Whale Gang, Lin Yuan went straight to the largest bookstore in the city.

Similar to the library in the previous life, you can read directly in the store, but the difference is that it costs money here, three coins per hour, which is quite cheap.

It would be much more expensive to buy books directly.

Although it is an era where martial arts are respected, there are still many scholars in the world.

The Dali Dynasty has implemented the imperial examination system since its founding, which is also a way for ordinary people without martial arts qualifications to turn over.

Lin Yuan is a scholar.

His father's expectation for him is to be able to pass the imperial examination... If he had not passed away suddenly, Lin Yuan would probably have prepared for the provincial examination this year if he had developed according to the normal trajectory.

After all, no one has stipulated that scholars cannot practice martial arts.

"Xiao Yuan is here?"

The owner of the bookstore is an old man with a strong scholarly temperament, with white hair and beard. He once ran a private school and is quite knowledgeable.

"Well, find a few books to read."

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded. He is a frequent visitor here.

He put three cents on the table and was about to walk in when he suddenly stopped: "Mr. Yue, do we have any books here that record the origin of Black Mountain City?"

"The county annals?"

Mr. Yue frowned his gray eyebrows, "This thing is generally not allowed to be read, only in the county government."

"It's not a county annals, it's just folklore and legends."

"Oh, that's right. Not many people like to read this kind of books, I put them in the innermost corner of the east, go find them."

After Lin Yuan nodded in thanks, he walked to the place the bookstore owner said.

The books were neatly arranged on the bookshelf and wiped very clean.

It can be seen that the owner usually cherishes them.

Lin Yuan glanced over and randomly took out a book called "Black Mountain Anecdotes" and began to read quietly.

Time passed bit by bit.

Lin Yuan's reading speed is not slow. He quickly finished reading more than a dozen books, all of which are various strange stories.

One of them also recorded the legend of the Mountain God Temple.

He said it very logically, and he must have really seen the tiger monster and was lucky enough not to die.

But most of them are made-up stories, far-fetched, and there is no logic at all.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he finally saw his target.

This is a book called "Xu Jianke's Travels". The author is Xu Jianke, and his real name is unknown. He should be a warrior who likes to travel around.

The writing is easy to understand, and the whole book is written in plain language.

One of the titles on the catalog page is written with four big characters "Black Mountain Old Demon".

Quickly turn to the corresponding page.

Lin Yuan read it word by word, and sure enough, he saw a paragraph that read:

'....It happened to be a thunderstorm, and I accidentally broke into a cave. I saw a stone bed, stone table, and stone bench inside. Obviously, someone had lived here, but now it has been abandoned. ’

'I was tired and sleepy, and fell asleep in a daze. ’

'In the middle of the night, I was awakened by the urge to urinate. The thunderstorm outside had not stopped, so I had to urinate in the cave. ’

'Suddenly, a flash of lightning illuminated the cave, and I was surprised to find that there were several lines of small characters engraved on the cave wall, so I took a torch to observe carefully. ’

‘Unfortunately, most of the writing is blurred and can only be recognized in a few words, all of which are ancient texts. ’

‘Fortunately, I am well-informed and can barely understand the content. ’

‘It turns out that the legendary [Black Mountain Old Demon] here really exists. It was once a mountain god that protected the people, and the entire Black Mountain Range was transformed by its body! ’

‘Oh my God! Then how big is its... no, how big is its body? ’

‘I suppressed my fear and read the recognizable text. I also learned its former honorific name...’

Lin Yuan exhaled lightly and slowly turned the page.

Then...

Huh?

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The place where the honorific name should have been written was actually scratched away by someone, leaving a small empty space!

Oh my God!

Lin Yuan almost swore on the spot. Who the hell is so uncultured?

At this moment

A puzzled voice suddenly sounded from behind:

"Hey, who tore this off?"

Lin Yuan was so absorbed in reading that he didn't notice when the bookstore owner stood behind him, frowning his gray eyebrows.

"Xiao Yuan, wait a moment."

Mr. Yue took the book from Lin Yuan with a little apology.

He walked to the table tremblingly, skillfully cut off a small piece of paper, and carefully pasted it to the gap.

After carefully drying it, he picked up the pen next to him.

Lin Yuan walked over slowly, stood behind, and looked at the few words carefully added by Mr. Yue, and subconsciously read them softly in his heart.

"Big... dark... black... respected..."
