Dragon's Origin

"This advance showing is just for our people, no outsiders. Abbot, bring along those who need recuperation." Wang Sheng explained the purpose of his advance showing: "It's meant to make things easier for our own people. This is the perfect place for them to recuperate."

The Great Abbot had broken through thanks to the Grandmaster Concert, so his feelings were deeper than anyone else's. Wang Sheng didn't need to emphasize the benefits; he understood them himself.

"Oh, right, I gave the Emperor some face and let the royal family add a hundred people." Wang Sheng didn't forget to mention the royal family to the Great Abbot: "There are about six hundred women in the palace, a hundred guards, and the rest are from our Old Gentleman Temple."

Saying there were only two hundred, the actual number, including the guards, far exceeded that.

"It should be done. We should give enough respect on their territory." The Great Abbot was skilled in dealing with people, understanding human relationships better than ordinary people. Hearing this, he simply nodded slightly, not at all dissatisfied that Wang Sheng had given the spots that should have belonged to the Old Gentleman Temple to the Emperor.

"Let's go to the Sutra Depository." Knowing that Wang Sheng wanted to know about the scrolls, the Great Abbot didn't delay, stood up, and said to Wang Sheng. The two headed straight for the Sutra Depository.

"You guys are really daring." After Old Ancestor Lingxu returned, he must have told the Great Abbot about the scrolls, so on the way, the Great Abbot sighed to Wang Sheng, "They were passed down from their ancestors, and they spent more than a year digging them out. You just pointed out a place and dared to ask for 25% of them. That's really risky!"

"I just didn't want to haggle with them anymore." Wang Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "If I haggled more, I could have gotten 30%. But you can't be too greedy. We took the best things, so we should leave them some of the miscellaneous stuff."

Lingxu Old Ancestor had already said that the hairpin and long sword would be mentioned to the Great Abbot. But it was limited to the Great Abbot, so Wang Sheng wasn't surprised that the Great Abbot knew about it.

When that group of Qing generation old Taoists rushed back to the Old Gentleman Temple overnight, the Great Abbot was shocked, thinking something had happened to the base in the Thousand Despair Land.

As a result, the old Taoists took out the storage rings they were carrying, and the Great Abbot was immediately dumbfounded after looking at a few. These things were simply too hot to handle!

After asking carefully, he learned the details. The Great Abbot was full of admiration for this. Wang Sheng and Lingxu Old Ancestor had actually dug out 25% of the good stuff from the ancestral treasures of those two families. Not to mention the gold and other things, just those scrolls were enough to make the Great Abbot overjoyed.

The Great Abbot only glanced at the storage rings containing gold, fur, jewelry, and weapons at first, and later he didn't even bother to look at them. He directly asked someone to send them to the Changsheng Public Mansion the next day and give them to Mei'er. As for the scrolls, the Great Abbot personally organized a group of Qing generation old Taoists, sealed off the Sutra Depository, and properly handled them one by one.

After all, they were five hundred years old, and they had been placed in the core inner circle of the Thousand Despair Land for so many years. He didn't know if the materials would be affected, or if there would be any strange changes after opening them. Therefore, the Great Abbot also went all out, found a group of quick-handed old Taoists, took one out of the storage ring, opened it, and immediately copied it. No matter what changes occurred, he would record the contents first.

No matter what was inside, even if it was a ledger, those old Taoists quickly recorded it stroke by stroke. Others might think that holding a ledger was useless, but how could the Great Abbot, who had managed the Old Gentleman Temple for many years, not know how many things that others didn't know could be recorded in the ledger?

This should be the ledger of the Lin family, the number one expert in the world back then. He could definitely find some records that hadn't been passed down from back then. It was simply a peerless treasure.

Even ordinary ledgers were like this, not to mention the secret manuals recording martial arts. Even if it wasn't suitable for the people of the Old Gentleman Temple to cultivate, they would record it first.

According to several old Taoists, the most powerful techniques might have been chosen by the Shi family or the Gan family. But it didn't matter. Every family's cultivation techniques had a context. It was impossible to start cultivating the most powerful techniques right away. Just like the Old Gentleman Temple, the orthodox cultivation was practiced all the way up, and finally it was the Taoist Canon Heart Method. Even if they couldn't learn the Taoist Canon Heart Method, they could still learn some of the mysteries of Taoist techniques by studying the preceding consistent techniques.

The Lin family's secret manuals would be the same. The contents of each scroll were rewritten, and even if there were pictures, they would be redrawn.

When Wang Sheng and Lingxu Old Taoist were playing with Da Xue in the inner circle of the Thousand Despair Land, the Old Gentleman Temple was heavily guarded. A group of white-bearded old Taoists were copying books day and night.

Fortunately, these scrolls, even after being placed for five hundred years, even after being熏陶 for five hundred years in the inner circle of the Thousand Despair Land, didn't undergo any strange changes, and didn't turn into flying ash after opening. But even so, the Great Abbot didn't dare to relax at all, and only felt relieved after copying them all.

"All of them have been rewritten, and the original scrolls have been sealed in the storage ring." The Great Abbot personally led Wang Sheng. No one would stop these two from entering. They went directly into the Sutra Depository and went up to the second floor.

"You're here?" Wang Sheng could already hear the heartbeat and breathing of Lingxu Old Taoist from afar. After coming up, the old Taoist raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Sheng, greeted him, and then continued to bury himself in the pile of scrolls.

"I'm here!" Wang Sheng was not polite either, sat down opposite the old Taoist, and reached out to take out three bottles of Wuliangye.

The old Taoist shook his arm, and a bottle of Wuliangye arrived in his hand. He opened the lid, and poured it directly into his mouth. The Great Abbot next to him was very refined. While calmly sitting at the table, he also took out two wine glasses.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

In front of the Great Abbot, Wang Sheng certainly couldn't learn from the old Taoist's appearance. He poured two glasses with the Great Abbot and slowly sipped. The Great Abbot had already drunk fine wine under Wang Sheng's initial inspiration. Now he would not actively drink, but if Wang Sheng and the old Taoist wanted to drink, he would casually accompany them for a few cups.

"For so many years, you only look best when you're drinking." The old Taoist was actually very satisfied with the Great Abbot in his heart, but he was never forgiving. In the old Taoist's view, drinking, a rebellious thing, was the true expression of seeing through the world and learning the essence of Taoism.

"Duke wants to know the situation of these scrolls." After drinking a few cups with the two, the Great Abbot said Wang Sheng's intention with a smile.

"What Duke? Elder!" The old Taoist was very dissatisfied with the Great Abbot's title for Wang Sheng. After correcting him, he took out a thread-bound paper booklet and threw it in front of Wang Sheng: "These are the catalogs they have compiled. Take a look first, and then find the originals if you are interested."
