I learned skills in a different world

The unknown old man asked in a hoarse voice: "Why, master, before this, I still have a doubt. I wonder if master can answer it for me?"

"Amitabha, nameless benefactor, please ask."

"Kung Fu secrets and other things usually have copies and backups. Even if they are stolen, you should try your best to conceal the news of the leaks. So why is your temple searching for secrets with great fanfare?"

Everyone present nodded. This was also their doubt. When they heard this, they all looked at Abbot Yuan.

Faced with everyone's suspicions, why the abbot was not angry at all, "You don't know something. The lost secret book of Guiyuan is not an ordinary copy, but was written by Patriarch Xuyun who created the Guiyuan technique in the past. Every word in this book contains countless mysteries. A disciple of this temple once had an epiphany directly after reading this secret book. Once he broke through and became a half-step master, it was not just a simple technique."

"So that's it. I just said that I always felt that there was something wrong with the Secret Search Conference..."

"It's actually the handwriting of Patriarch Xuyun. I really want to see it with my own eyes."

The unknown old man didn't know whether he believed it or not, "That's it. Master, what are the clues? The earlier we know, the earlier we can find the secret book."

After all, the abbot was the abbot of a temple and a master at the master level. Although he was kind-hearted, these people in the world did not dare to urge him directly. Therefore, after the unknown old man made a start, they began to whisper in low voices.

"I wonder what the clue is?"

"It has been several months since the secret book was stolen. Even if there were any footprints, they would be gone long ago."

As if he heard everyone's whispers, Abbot He said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, we have already described the entire scene when the secret book was lost."

After saying that, several monks filed out holding trays with a painting on them.

The monks placed the scrolls in front of everyone one by one.

The content above seems to be a scripture pavilion, which should be the place where the secret book of Guiyuan Kung Fu was lost.

Shen Fangshi picked up a picture scroll in front of him, and with a quick glance, he could see the depth of the painter's skills.

If you look carefully, you will see that the table patterns, scripture titles, carved beams and painted pillars, and painted brackets are all detailed in the painting.

There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

"What can be seen in this painting?"

"Yes, isn't it just a scripture library?"

For a time, everyone started talking.

Li Dan frowned when he saw Shen Fang, "Mr. Chu, have you discovered anything?"

When Li Tan asked, Yuan Dieyin and others next to him also pricked up their ears to listen.

"Here." Li Dan looked down and saw Shen Fangshi's slender fingers landing on a window sill in the painting.

Li Tan and others took a closer look and saw a faint footprint there.

...What can this tell? How tall is the thief?

Just then, I heard Yu He's voice again, "My disciples in the temple have measured the size of these footprints. They are one foot. Based on this size, the temple infers that the thief should be a woman or a man of short stature." 1

But there are so many people of the same height in the world, how is it possible to find the thief in the huge crowd?

Shen Fangshi said: "There is more than one footprint."

Li Tan and others took a closer look, and Li Tan was a little in disbelief, "Could it be that the darker shadows in this painting are also footprints?" These shadows really don't look like footprints and can easily be ignored.

Lan Yi scratched his head, "I thought it was because the painter accidentally stroked too hard."

Huang Suling asked doubtfully: "But what's the use of knowing this?"

Wen Chengliang explained on the side, "In addition to the size of his feet, we can also guess his movement skills from the distance and distribution between the footprints."

Then, he pointed at the footprints, "The Sutra Pavilion seems to be cleaned every day, so it is inevitable to leave footprints, but these footprints are very shallow, and the secret book can be stolen under the nose of the master. It can be seen that this People are good at both Qinggong and breath-holding skills."

Li Dan quickly asked: "Can you tell what kind of movement it is?"

"These few steps are clearly false and true. The front legs are false and the hind legs are true. They are common false steps, so nothing can be seen from this aspect." Shen Fangshi explained.

Before Li Tan could get confused, Shen Fangshi continued: "From these footprints, we can see that this movement moves from left to right, ups and downs, and seems to be the movement of a wandering dragon."

Yuan Dieyin was surprised at the side, "Wandering Dragon Movement Technique? Isn't that the famous movement technique of Thousand-Handed Thieves?"

"If it's really the Thousand-Handed Thief, his height is right!" Huang Suling's voice was slightly excited.

Shen Fangshi frowned, could it really be the Thousand-Handed Thief? He didn't say anything. There was something strange about this matter. Can you get a clue so easily? Then why did Guangji Temple keep saying it couldn’t be found? Shen Fangshi didn't believe that the huge Guangji Temple didn't notice such an obvious thing.

Apparently they were not the only ones to discover this, as someone had already asked about it.

"Master Abbot, we can see from these footprints that the person who stole the secret book used the Youlong Shenfa, and the movement used by the Thousand-Hand Thief is this. All these clearly point to the Thousand-Hand Thief. Didn’t your temple notice it at all?”

Abbot Why laughed and said, "Because the clues are unclear, it is not like Thousand Hands Stealing Donor's previous behavior. This temple is also worried that someone is deliberately framed. For the sake of Thousand Hands Stealing Donor's innocence, we do not dare to make a conclusion, but we have been searching for a long time." , still no result.”

Others were a little confused, "Why, abbot, the size of the footprints and the movement skills point to the Thousand-Handed Thief, so what happens next? Are there any other clues?"

"Don't worry, everyone. I'm just showing you the painting because I want to show you what it looked like just after losing the secret book. I will take you to the Hidden Gold Pavilion to see it later."

"It's just that the Sutra-Depository Pavilion is a secret place of the temple and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. If it weren't for this special incident, I would not open the Sutra-Depository Pavilion. Please don't go to other places then."

When everyone saw that they could finally enter the Cangjin Pavilion, they naturally agreed.

Perhaps because he was afraid of destroying the clues, as soon as he opened the door, Shen Fangshi saw a layer of dust falling everywhere in the room. It seemed that it had not been cleaned for a long time.

This time, Monk Faxiu led the way, "Amitabha, in order to avoid damaging the sutra pavilion, all donors are asked to enter in order."

Shen Fangshi and the others waited for a while, and then came out after some people entered before stepping inside.

Some of the people who came out found nothing, while others seemed to have found some clues.

The footprints in the Sutra Pavilion had already been covered by a layer of dust, and immediately after everyone entered, there were some messy footprints.

Li Tan held his breath, fearing that he would be choked by the dust. "Logically speaking, it has only been a month since we have not taken care of it. Why is there so much dust? There is not much sand here."

Several other people also looked at the room carefully.
