Chapter 109 Ancient Text from the Previous Dynasty, Senior Brother Yuantong
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Wind and Thunder Sword Sect.
The back mountain.
Half Moon Lake.
At noon, the blazing sun hangs high in the sky.
"Check-in."
[Check-in successful]
[Gained a Level 1 entry: Willow Affinity]
[Willow Affinity: After equipping this item, you can vaguely hear the willow's voice, and the surrounding willows will feel friendly towards you. You can try a simple communication with them to gain wisdom.]
What's the use of this entry?
There aren't many willow trees in the entire Wind and Thunder Sword Sect.
Pure has gained another entry that's gathering dust.
I'm just a little short of mastering the "Flying Shadow Golden Wings Technique".
Another hour passed, and Lin Zhou, who had acquired two comprehension attributes, had been diligently practicing for three days before finally mastering the basics of this lightness skill.
"The cultivation techniques within the Mountain and Sea Pavilion are incredibly demanding."
"So many cultivation techniques have limitations, so what did Ao Feng, the true disciple of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, choose?"
At this moment, Lin Zhou became somewhat curious.
Lin Zhou knows too little about this world now, only about Qingzhou Prefecture in the Chu Kingdom.
Throughout the entire Chu state, regarding the previous dynasty.
Or perhaps it's the situation in those places beyond the borders of Chu, occupied by demons—information has been completely blocked.
Speaking of which...
He obtained many ancient books from the cave of the powerful demon in the Shanhai Pass, the second demon-slaying checkpoint in the secret realm of the Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect.
However, Lin Zhou was not familiar with the ancient text above.
You need to study in order to understand it.
"Senior Brother Yuantong."
Immediately, the image of an elderly senior brother appeared in Lin Zhou's mind.
The information I knew about the previous dynasty came from this senior brother's ancient books. Although this senior brother was old, he was over a hundred years old.
However, due to issues concerning his children and grandchildren, he still teaches classical Chinese to some of his fellow disciples within the sect.
In this way, some tuition fees can be collected.
After quickly tidying up, Lin Zhou headed straight for where his senior brother Yuan Tong was.
Senior Brother Yuan Tong is the guardian of a medicinal field on the Alchemy Peak.
It's similar to what Lin Zhou is doing now.
It was precisely because he had plenty of free time, except for taking care of the herbs, that he was able to privately open a classical literature school, but very few people attended the school.
At that time, besides Lin Zhou, there was only one inner disciple from the Demon Suppression Peak.
Lin Zhou scooped up a large bluefish from Half Moon Pool. It seemed that due to the spiritual energy, the number of large bluefish in the pool had increased significantly during this period. As the spiritual energy environment improved, these large bluefish also began to reproduce rapidly.
Schools of small bluefish swam among them.
The same applies to the precious fish among them.
Everything looks promising.
In the blink of an eye, nearly half an hour had passed.
Lin Zhou then arrived at another somewhat remote medicinal field, number 36, Bingzi.
"Junior Brother Lin."
"It's been so long since you've come."
"You're too kind."
"Could this big bluefish have been caught from that Crescent Moon Lake?"
"Then I'm in for a treat tonight, senior brother. I've heard that there's spiritual energy in the Half Moon Pool, but it's been getting weaker and weaker over the years."
"This big blue carp has been imbued with some spiritual energy, so I, your senior brother, am quite fortunate to have such a delicious meal."
"Speak up. You wouldn't come here without a reason. What is it you want to say?"
The old man, dressed in a loose white robe and with white hair and beard, couldn't help but have a glint in his eyes when he saw the young Lin Zhou, especially when he stared at the big blue carp that Lin Zhou had brought.
If this big bluefish had been caught from Half Moon Lake, it could have fetched a good price if sold.
"Senior brother, do you recognize these characters?"
Lin Zhou casually picked a few words from the ancient book in the hands of the powerful demon and wrote them on the paper in front of Yuan Tong.
"what?"
"Where did you learn this classical Chinese?"
"This is demonic script."
"Very rare."
"Even your senior brother, despite having read many books, finds this demonic script extremely difficult to learn, as it has a structure that is completely opposite to our current common script."
"Even I, your senior brother, don't know much."
"But I'm alright at teaching you."
Upon seeing the words on the paper, Yuan Tong's eyes widened immediately. He leaned closer and carefully examined them several times to confirm that they were correct.
These characters are undoubtedly demonic script.
"The value of this demonic script is quite high."
"Junior brother, do you have...?"
Yuan Tong hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Lin Zhou naturally understood.
As long as you can understand this demonic script, paying some spirit stones or silver coins should be no problem.
"How about this treasure?"
Lin Zhou took out a short knife from his pocket. The surface of the knife shimmered with a faint blue light, which seemed quite extraordinary.
"The treasured sword!"
"Can!"
"Come on, junior brother, you're truly my lucky star!"
At this moment, Yuan Tong carefully took the short knife.
According to Yuan Tong's assessment, although this short sword is only the lowest grade among magical artifacts, it is still a valuable artifact.
Could it be that my junior brother has unearthed some treasure within the sect?
Yuan Tong stared at the precious short sword with intense desire.
Lin Zhou had no choice.
This short sword is now the most dilapidated of all the treasures he has collected.
Once Yuantong received the money, it immediately began to get things done.
Inside the house, he began to teach with great focus about the demon script.
In the blink of an eye.
More than a month has passed.
"Junior Brother Lin, you truly bring surprises every time you come!"
"In just one month, you were able to read that demonic script passage flawlessly, without any difficulty whatsoever."
Yuan Tong looked at the few demonic characters written by Lin Zhou, and thought that the skill of Lin Zhou was even better than his own.
Seeing this, Yuan Tong was also somewhat surprised by his junior brother's talent.
"Senior Brother Lin."
"It's been a long time."
at this time.
Outside Yuan Tong's courtyard, a burly man walked in. He looked to be in his forties and carried a dark red broadsword on his back. He exuded an aura that was not to be trifled with.
"Junior Brother Sun."
When Lin Zhou saw him, he simply greeted him calmly.
This was the ascetic who had met Lin Zhou a few times before.
Lin Zhou didn't linger. He spat the book out of the giant toad's stomach and began to read its contents.
The Great Jin Kingdom.
This book does indeed contain information about the Great Jin Kingdom.
However, most of what exists are the autobiographies, or even diaries, of those few powerful demons.
Who keeps a diary if they're a decent person?
The diary contains very little truth.
Furthermore, at the end of the book written in the demonic script, there was even a brief introduction to the State of Chu.
The Chu state described in the diary was extremely powerful.
But one thing is very clear: the royal family of Chu originally came from outside the border.
