Mysterious World Tour

Tan Mo did not doubt the richness of Tianlong Temple's collection of books.

Because on the way to Tianlong Temple, Tan Mo saw with his own eyes that there were a lot of fields to the east of the foothills of Tianlong Temple. As for those fields, when Zhang Mang asked someone for directions, Tan Mo learned that they all belonged to Tianlong Temple!

Those who cultivated the fields just rented the fields from Tianlong Temple. After working hard for a year, their necks were sunburned and their legs and feet were cracked by the cold. In the end, 80% of the food they received fell into the pockets of the monks of Tianlong Temple, leaving 20%. , it is very necessary to pay a tax of 15%, and only with that little bit of 50% can farmers work in the fields.

It was just that little, and of course it couldn't support a family, so Tianlong Temple specially distributed usury money to those tenants, and they returned nine times out of ten.

In such a world where war was in chaos and the government was in disarray, the families near Tianlong Temple, even the tenants of Tianlong Temple, all borrowed usury from Tianlong Temple.

Borrowing loan sharks to survive the month is almost like drinking poison to quench your thirst.

That also made it normal for the area near Tenryuji Temple to sell children and daughters at the end of the year when the monks from Tenryuji Temple came to ask for debts. But because there are so many people selling their sons and daughters, the price has been suppressed again and again. Many people come from far away to get the cheap contract of selling their bodies there.

Therefore, for such a prosperous Tianlong Temple, how can it not have a rich collection of books outside the temple?

The Sutra Library of Tianlong Temple is undoubtedly heavily guarded, with many monks patrolling it. These are all warrior monks from Tianlong Temple, with strong physiques. If you don’t chant sutras, you will practice martial arts. Eating meat, drinking alcohol, and killing people with knives created the evil spirit of Ye Changzi.

If you want to ask for debt, you need someone with legs, and this group of monks is the guarantee that Tianlong Temple will succeed in asking for debt every year.

Those monks are all very skilled in martial arts. Although they are not at the master level, they all have good legs. For Tan Mo, they are of no avail.

He walked in openly.

The Buddhist scripture building has five floors, like a pagoda.

There was no one in the Sutra Collection Building at this time. Bu Nao Tan Mo noticed a strong smell of liquid ink on the first floor. He walked over and took a look. There was some well-ground ink and a book spread out beside it. On the left side of the book There are words on one side, but there are no words on the right side. On one side, there is a scripture. Could it be that someone copied the book here before?

Tan Mo then went to the second floor. The layout on the second floor was similar to the first floor, with two rows of bookshelves holding some scriptures.

There are people on that floor.

No two old monks. Leaning against the window, I was drinking tea and laughing, thinking about whether I was responsible for the monk who was guarding the Buddhist scripture building outside.

Those scriptures were bigger than Tan Mo. Tan Mo wanted to move the scriptures from the bookshelf to the east, but he would have to make a lot of noise. He was afraid of disturbing the two old monks, so Tan Mo walked along the stairs. Arrived on the third floor.

When he opened the door and took a look, Tan Mo was stunned.

But the third floor was empty. Not to mention the scriptures, there were no bookshelves or anything. Tan Mo couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that Tianlong Temple, which occupies a lot of property, has a two-story collection of books?

He climbed up the stairs and reached the fourth floor.

Before reaching the fourth floor, Tan Mo smelled the strange smell of liquid sedge.

Not bad.

However, the smell of liquid bean is very fishy, ​​and some sand and dust have been added to it, which makes it smell quite weird.

I stretched my legs to push the door open, only to find that the door on the fourth floor was locked.

Bu Nao couldn't help but Tan Mo. After sneaking in, Tan Mo found that although there were no books on the fourth floor of the scripture library, there were a lot of things.

Densely hung on the four walls.

The corpses of frogs, snakes, finches, and lizards were processed, dried, strung together with ropes, and hung on the wall.

The strange smell that Tan Mo smelled was a mixture of the smell of corpses of living creatures.

"The Sutra Library in Tianlong Temple doesn't look right." Tan Mo frowned slightly. No matter how he looked at it at that time, he felt that the statues of the library on the first and second floors were hiding people's eyes.

Especially on the third floor, no one has put anything there. It’s like telling people who enter that the third floor is empty, so don’t bother going any further.

Tan Mo looked at the corpses of those creatures and felt something in his heart.

Common dried snake + some wild ginseng, after stewed, the success rate of nourishing the body is +100%.

"There's nothing wrong with those things..." Tan Mo was surprised. He suspected that the corpses of those creatures were all highly poisonous. They were dried and stored in order to make some unique poisons. But after looking at the success rate, he realized that I found that he thought too much.

Tan Mo looked towards the stairs.

There is good lighting on the first and second floors of the Tibetan Sutra Building, but starting from the third floor, the only light source is the stairwell connected to the east floor.

The light on the second floor was no longer noticeable on the fourth floor.

The stairway leading to the fifth floor was dim. Although it wasn't too dark, you couldn't see clearly unless you took a closer look.

Tan Mo felt that the fifth floor might contain the secret of Tianlong Temple.

And he loves to pry into their little secrets.

Therefore, Tan Mo walked directly along the stairs to Zai.

Anyway, he was wearing painted skin at that time, and no one was practicing in Tianlong Temple. What was he afraid of?

The fifth floor was also locked.

Tan Mo repeated his old trick, trying to use the Wine Sword Immortal Ban to grind the lock into pieces. However, as soon as he moved his legs, he saw a green-faced and fanged evil spirit emerging from the crack in the door.

Holding a mace on his leg, the evil ghost cursed: "Where did you come from, a Taoist who doesn't know what's good and what's good, and doesn't know the mantra of my grandpa, the national master?"

After the evil spirit finished cursing, he was stunned.

He opened his eyes wide and looked left and right, but saw nothing.

"Strange!" The evil ghost muttered, turned his head, and went back the way he came, and went back through the crack in the door.

Tan Mo was at the door at that time. When the evil ghost appeared, he was scared, but then he realized that the evil ghost was not very skilled and could not see through his painted skin.

So, Tan Mo continued to grind the door lock with the sword of wine.

With the evil ghost guarding, there must be some treasure on the fifth floor!

After a while, the evil ghost with a mace in his leg and a green face and fangs rushed out again, cursing and looking around Dongdu, and stood in front of the door for a long time before going back.

Seeing that the evil ghost had gone back, Tan Mo stretched his legs and pinched his fingers, and continued to grind the lock with the sword of wine.

"I'm so angry!" Cursing, the evil ghost rushed out again, picked up the mace and swung it around.

Tan Mo tried to dodge.

The evil ghost didn't move his legs before, so Tan Mo thought that the evil ghost was not very powerful. But when he moved his legs, he found that the evil ghost was quite powerful and was actually stronger than him.

This made Tan Mo back off.

If the evil ghost was not as powerful as him, then he would rely on his painted skin to make a big fuss. But if the evil ghost was stronger than him, then it would be another story...

Tan Mo was thinking whether to run away immediately, anyway, his original intention was to borrow some books to read. At that moment, the door lock suddenly clicked, broke into two pieces, and then fell to the ground.

Then, the door opened.
