A mortal’s journey to becoming an immortal begins by becoming the food for monsters and beasts.

Fu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the Hidden Scripture Pavilion in front of him.

It's just that the life experienced in the illusion is too real, and now he suddenly returned to the real world, and this huge psychological gap suddenly made Fu Sheng's mood fluctuate greatly.

Fu Sheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sat down cross-legged and worked hard to adjust his state of mind, and after a cup of tea, Fu Sheng was finally able to barely overcome the mood fluctuations caused by this huge gap.

However, although Fu Sheng had already adjusted his state of mind at this time, the huge difference between the pastoral life of suddenly seeing Nanshan leisurely under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums to the world of immortals and demons still made it difficult for Fu Sheng to adapt for a while.

Fu Sheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, looking at the Hidden Scripture Pavilion in front of him with a solemn and serious face.

After a while, Fu Sheng smiled and gave a deep bow to the Scripture Pavilion.

After such an experience in his state of mind, Fu Sheng only felt that his state of mind had been consolidated a lot.

Especially recently, Fu Sheng doesn't know how to get it, he always feels a headache inexplicably, and after this mental experience, only the inexplicable headache has been relieved a lot.

"Although the essence of your phantom array is to block the invasion of foreign enemies, you have made me go through the life I have ever dreamed of living anyway.

A world of cultivating immortals who don't need to live with fear and care.

To be able to live the life I want in peace.

Although your purpose was to kill me, you still helped me realize my little dream anyway, thank you. Fu Sheng muttered in a barely audible voice.

At this moment, Fu Sheng cut off the fate of the dust, and the life he experienced in the illusion allowed Fu Sheng to pursue the road of immortality he longed for without regrets.

In Fu Sheng's view, this kind of plain life is really a life that is difficult to hope for.

Whether it is the nest of the beast where humans have become pig-like beasts, or the world of cultivating immortals now.

You need to live your life carefully, and you have to be on guard against unknown dangers at all times.

The plain life like water in the fantasy world is really precious. Although life seems to be as plain as water, its real preciousness is also his plain water.

After expressing his inner feelings, Fu Sheng once again returned to the Fu Sheng who maintained absolute calm all the time.

Slowly pushing open the door that had been sealed for thousands of years, a smell of decay and obsolescence suddenly came to my face.

Fu Sheng walked in vigilantly, only to find that this Hidden Scripture Pavilion had no other means of defense except for the layer of illusions arranged outside to block external enemies.

Fu Sheng did not let his guard down because of this, but continued to maintain his careful Xi and slowly walked inside.

As if sensing Fu Sheng's arrival, the many candlesticks in the Scripture Pavilion suddenly spontaneously ignited without wind, and suddenly illuminated the somewhat dim hall of the Scripture Pavilion, and Fu Sheng also had a panoramic view of the scene in the hall on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

The hall on the first floor of this scripture pavilion is very tall, and the height of the floor has reached an astonishing five zhang.

Every once in a short distance there was a thick pillar erected there for support, but these thick pillars that were originally painted red could not escape the baptism of time, and these support columns, which were supposed to be vermilion and bright, have now become dull, and it is difficult to even find that these pillars are a deep dark red unless you look closely.

The hall on the first floor is extremely spacious, with a length of sixty or seventy zhang each, but although it is very large, it is filled with countless bookshelves, each of which is filled with all kinds of precious books.

Continuing inward, a time-honored table appeared in front of me.

Behind the long table stood two huge bookshelves that were four feet high, each densely packed with all kinds of books, whether in paper editions or scrolls of bamboo slips.

These books have all been blessed with magic, so that they have not been worn away into powder during these tens of thousands of years.

Underneath these books, there are more than a dozen jade slips placed on the bookshelf at a height about the same height as a person.

Fu Sheng first carefully observed the surroundings and made sure that there was no hidden formation mechanism, then he reached out and took a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it.

A sudden look appeared on Fu Sheng's face at a glance, Fu Sheng put the book back in its place, and then took out a book again and flipped through it, this time Fu Sheng's face showed a definite look.

"It seems that these should be the catalogues of the many books in this scripture pavilion.

But come to think of it, this scripture pavilion claims to have a collection of eight million volumes, although I don't know if these eight million volumes are true or false, but since I dare to claim that there are so many books, then I think even if there are not eight million, at least it should be above one million.

If this is the case, it would be a needle in a haystack to find a specific book from it, and it will be much easier to find the table of contents on these shelves.

Fu Sheng put the jade slips in his hand back in place, and then began to check the more than ten jade slips again! As Fu Sheng expected, the contents on these jade slips were exactly the same as the contents of the many paper books and bamboo slips on the bookshelf.

It seems that this is a jade slip that was specially reproduced for more convenient reference, after all, whether it is in terms of the carrying capacity of the text or the preservation time of the content, this jade slip is far more than the paper version of the book and the bamboo slip.

Even though these books and bamboo slips are blessed with spells, they cannot be compared to jade slips in terms of the amount of stored content and storage time.

Presumably, it is not only the catalog of the many books in this Scripture Pavilion, Fu Sheng believes that the many classics, exercises, and secret techniques in the Scripture Pavilion will also be backed up by jade slips.

This not only reduces the possibility of accidents, but also greatly extends the duration of its inheritance and reduces its footprint.

Thinking like this, Fu Sheng slapped his head and secretly scolded himself, "It's really stupid, thinking about these things here."

The time for the two pothos to build the foundation was only three days, but now half a day has passed.

This scripture pavilion claims to have a collection of eight million books, if you don't hurry up, won't you really want to go deep into Baoshan and return empty-handed?"

So Fu Sheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took more than ten jade slips in front of him, and probed his divine sense into them one by one and began to check them.

The main purpose of Fu Sheng is naturally the exercises and many secret techniques that have been passed down for many years in the Vajra Zen Temple.

Even if it is because he has not practiced Buddhism, many secret techniques of leveling the mind cannot be performed, but there are commonalities in the secret arts, and they will also improve themselves a lot under mutual confirmation and reference.

And even if you can't cultivate yourself, it's a good choice whether you take it out and exchange it, or if you read it by yourself to increase your knowledge.

But at first glance, Fu Sheng was a little dumbfounded.

These jade slips only record the names of the books in the collection and their locations, but you must know that the eight million volumes of books in this Scripture Pavilion are not all exercises and anecdotes, otherwise wouldn't it be too amazing? Most of

the eight million books in this Scripture Pavilion are actually just ordinary Buddhist scriptures or medical techniques in mortal countries.

Although he has a wide range of knowledge, he can afford to hide everything in all schools, but these things are actually not very helpful to Fu Sheng.

But think about it, for monks, what kind of help will mortal Buddhist scriptures have?

But Fu Sheng also knows that checking the catalog is the fastest way for him, if he really doesn't look at the catalog and goes to look through the shelves one by one, not to mention that it is only ten days of trial in this Vajra Zen Temple, even if it takes ten years, he may not be able to read it all.

It would be nonsense to sweep all of these books and put them all in your own storage bag.

Not to mention Fu Sheng's storage bags for these eight million volumes, even if Fu Sheng is given dozens of storage bags, whether they can fit them is a matter of two words.

Therefore, Fu Sheng could only patiently read the jade slip of the book catalog in his hand quickly.

Soon, Fu Sheng relied on his amazing memory to clearly remember the locations of the books that were suspected of being exercises and secret techniques among the more than ten books, and there were hundreds of them.

Soon Fu Sheng discovered the strangeness in it.

The contents of the books recorded on this catalogue are only from one to the nineteenth floor, but there is no mention of the contents of the last twenty floors.

Moreover, Fu Sheng found that most of the information he had written down was concentrated above the seventeenth layer.

Soon Fu Sheng understood the mystery, although it is said that there is a catalog jade slip in this scripture pavilion, but if the storage and placement of the book itself is not regular, then the role of this catalogue jade slip is not great.

Therefore, the books that can be stored together should have some kind of commonality, for example, the Buddhist scriptures that talk about Buddha nature will be placed in the southeast corner of the seventh floor of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and these seventeenth to nineteenth floors are likely to be the places used by the Vajra Monastery to store many of the exercises and secrets of their own sect.

In order to confirm his thoughts, Fu Sheng immediately took a Buddhist scripture from a random bookshelf on the first floor.

I found that this Buddhist scripture is about a monk named Dharma-explaining the story of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds in the world.

After a few more random selections, sure enough, there was no trace of the classics of the secret arts, so Fu Sheng's heart was at ease.

Fu Sheng, who made a quick decision, no longer cared about the books below the seventeenth floor, but went straight down the stairs to the seventeenth floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

Although this scripture pavilion is more than 100 zhang high, because of its narrow structure at the top and wide at the bottom, when Fu Sheng came to the seventeenth floor of this scripture pavilion, he found that the area of the seventeenth floor had been greatly reduced, and even the length and width were only six or seven zhang long.

There are more than a dozen bookshelves on the seventeenth floor, and the bookshelves are also full of all kinds of books, and many jade slips are also placed under the bookshelf, which should be replicas of the books on the shelves.

Fu Sheng casually took out a collection of books on the shelf, opened it and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed.

What is recorded in this book is a kind of magic secret technique called Vajra Zen Finger in the Vajra Zen Temple, once it is successfully used, the fingers will become stronger than fine iron, even ordinary magic weapons are difficult to hurt in the slightest.

However, this Vajra Zen Finger is based on the Vajra Zen Academy's Zhen School Peerless Angry Eyes Vajra Trick to be used, and the Angry Eye Vajra Finger itself has several magical powers that make itself extremely hard, so this Vajra Zen Finger is very chicken.

However, this does not reduce Fu Sheng's confidence at all, because the appearance of this Vajra Zen Finger means that more Vajra Zen Sect Secret Techniques that have been inherited for countless years will appear in front of Fu Sheng one by one.

Sure enough, Fu Sheng casually flipped through it and found that most of the books stored on the seventeenth floor of this Tibetan Scripture Pavilion were all the secret techniques of the Vajra Zen Academy.

It's just a pity that most of those secret techniques in this seventeenth layer are too chicken for Fu Sheng, so they can only be used for reference and cannot be Xi and performed.

Because the area of this seventeenth layer is not large, the collection of books here is not very large, and it only took less than a day for Fu Sheng to take a look at the collection of books on this seventeenth floor.

It's just a pity that many of these books are written in a script that Fu Sheng is not familiar with.

It is the kind of text that is written on the nameless seal of Fu Sheng that Nirvana Miaoxin, and he is not proficient in this kind of literary character Sheng, so the four characters of Nirvana Miaoxin are still reluctantly translated by Fu Sheng after consulting many classics.

After some careful selection, Fu Sheng unceremoniously put most of the jade slips on this layer into his storage bag.

Seeing that the place where the jade slips were originally placed on the bookshelf was now empty, Fu Sheng nodded with satisfaction and then quickly walked towards the eighteenth floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

The area of the eighteenth floor of this scripture pavilion is a large circle smaller than the seventeenth floor, and the length is only four or five zhang long. There are even fewer bookshelves on the eighteenth floor, just three.

But soon Fu Sheng dispelled the disappointment in his heart.

Because in this eighteenth layer, whether it is exercises or many Buddhist secret techniques, compared to those in the seventeenth layer, they can be regarded as the best of the best, and there are even a few books that have a great feeling of opening up when they look at it.

Fu Sheng unceremoniously opened his storage bag, and suddenly those jade slips on the eighteenth floor were once again swept away by Fu Sheng.

Fu Sheng is extremely satisfied with his harvest this time.

Not to mention anything else, just this time his harvest in this Hidden Scripture Pavilion was enough to make many monks, including the monks of the Yudan period, blush.

Thinking like this, Fu Sheng continued to walk towards the nineteenth floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion with brisk steps.

As soon as he ascended to the nineteenth floor, Fu Sheng's eyes suddenly widened, and the look of horror in his eyes could not be concealed.

I saw that the area of the nineteenth floor of the Scripture Pavilion could not be said to be small, and it was a bit exaggerated to even say that it was a room.

After all, the place with a radius of more than one foot is too narrow.

On the wall of the room was a dark table, on which were placed a jade slip, a bamboo slip, and three books.

In front of the table lay a huge futon on the ground, and on top of the futon lay a corpse that had long since turned into dry bones sitting cross-legged.

Although there was no skin and flesh on his face, Fu Sheng seemed to see that the face of the skeleton was half merciful and half majestic.
