No one answered, but Du Bai believed that the owner of the place, "Beech Tree Spirit", had heard his voice.

Because the entire attic is her essence, these books are all knowledge transformed from their own.

Sure enough, with a sound of "smoking" as if something was crawling, two thin branches extended from above, wrapping around and handing over a yellowed drawing to him.

After he took it, the branches quickly shrank back.

Du Bai was not surprised. After all, he remembered any book he was interested in these two days and asked the other party to give it to him. He was already used to it.

He spread out the map and found that its area was much larger than he thought, and its length and width were almost higher than that of adults, so he had to put it on the ground to read it slowly.

This map is not drawn with the ghost town as the center, but it is carefully marked on the map. It is probably in the northwest corner of the map. If it were not marked specifically, it would be difficult to find.

In addition, what is really eye-catching on this map is that you can see dozens of thumb-sized black dots scattered in every corner of the map as soon as you open the map. It is like the painter deliberately smearing it on, with only a few straws, trying to cover up something that should not be seen by others.

Moreover, there is no regularity, either mountain streams or seasides, which is elusive, but the closer it is to the center of the map, the denser the black dots.

Look, the nearest black spot is only a hundred miles away from the ghost town, and it is very close to the ghosts that can fly.

"What are these black spots?" Du Bai asked in confusion.

Soon, a note was handed to him by a branch.

"A place that cannot be said, cannot be thought of."

Du Bai felt curiosity in his heart, but he asked again but found no results.

This map was not drawn by the beech tree spirit, but was obtained by chance when she was traveling outside. She just vaguely knew that the positions represented by the black dots were unusual, and even once she had the intention of inquiring would inexplicably be terrified. She knew that her strength was insufficient, so she did not continue to explore.

Du Bai felt a little regretful, and guessed that perhaps his former strength would have known some clues, but unfortunately all the memories have been lost, so naturally there is no way to know them.

Let go of this extra curiosity for the time being, and he re-selected his attention to other places on the map and began to find the location of Yuanyang City.

But it's much harder to find than I thought.

Fortunately, there are also national markers here. He quickly found the Holy Dynasty, but was surprised to find that the Holy Dynasty, which was quite powerful in the scholar's impression, represented only a piece the size of a palm on this map. At first glance, the territory of the countries next to it was much larger than that.

"Liao Kingdom...Sang Kingdom..."

His eyes slowly swept across these countries that only existed in history, and a little doubt appeared in his eyes.

In his impression, the territory of the Holy Dynasty was very vast, with only a few small vassal states around it. Where are these countries that are even more powerful than the Holy Dynasty?

But he immediately realized something was wrong.

This map has a long history before the beech tree spirit was found, and the things it depicts are naturally somewhat different from the present.

Conservatively, it should be about three hundred years.

According to historical records of the Holy Dynasty, a wise monarch with both civil and military appearance appeared about three hundred years ago. He kept a low profile for decades and defeated the surrounding countries that occasionally invaded the territory of the Holy Dynasty, and was widely included in the territory, with a unique glory.

Therefore, many countries on the map have been destroyed in the dust of history.

With a clear mind in mind, Du Bai also took care of this map when he looked at it. Based on his memory, he could calculate that the Yuanyang City that appeared in was probably in the border area of ​​the Holy Dynasty on this map.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but thank the king for expanding his territory. Otherwise, he would have been subjected to the military storm of other countries from time to time and would have been swept away by other countries' troops. Yuanyang City would definitely not have gradually flourished, nor would it have the Su family and himself now.

The ghost city on the map happens to be within the scope of another destruction country. Although it should be within the scope of the Holy Dynasty, it is also three inches away from Yuanyang City. It seems not far away, but in fact, when the transportation is inconvenient in ancient times, ordinary people may not be able to go so far in their lives.

As of now, it seems that if you want to meet between the two bodies, you still don’t know when it will take to wait.

He felt a little regretful, and then he finally asked the last question: "Do you record the methods of human monks here?"

This is what he needs most at present, and it is also the important foundation for his scholarly body to settle down in this era when humans and ghosts are not distinguished.

It's just a pity that the Beech Dingling did not give him a satisfactory answer.

He only learned that there was no so-called sect of immortal cultivation in this world, nor did he have a clear division of realms like the fund building pills in the novels in previous lives, and naturally he did not subdivided it into the cultivation techniques of each meridian. Of course, there will definitely be some records from previous generations as secret books, but that is not a big road product that can be collected by their demons.

Simply put, the practice here seems to be more mysterious.

A mortal can become a saint once enlightened, and the world can be free and easy. Those who practice hard for a hundred years may end up being nothing but a waste of time, turning into a piece of loess in the world.

Here, a hero who has practiced swordsmanship for decades can also kill demons with one sword, and a monk who has attained enlightenment may not have seen a Bodhisattva who has worshipped for his whole life. The Tao is wonderful.

In comparison, demons seem to be more relaxed in their cultivation. After they have the opportunity to become monsters, they can naturally absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use. Over time, the longer they live between the same races, the stronger they become.

So in short, the beech tree spirit is not very clear about the way of human cultivation.

But at the end, a note suddenly came.

"There are all kinds of Taoism in the world, but for us demons, scholars who have studied saints for decades, have been weak but have a righteous heart. If we are truly a great scholar, even if we are a monster, we are respectful and dare not hurt them at will."

When Du Bai saw these words, he was slightly stunned, but the boy emitting a faint white light that he saw in the Liu family that night appeared in his mind.

"Of course? Could that be righteousness?"

He asked again how to cultivate righteousness, and the beech tree spirit just said:

"Reading, establishing one's heart, establishing one's virtue."

This is obviously too vague.

Can you cultivate righteousness by just reading and writing? Then the righteousness of those scholars is a mess! But he did not feel any sense of righteousness in his previous life.

The real key is probably this heart and virtue. But these secrets are still waiting for him to think about, and he can't be anxious for a while.

After calming down his mood, he turned his attention to other books on the bookshelf.

This attic is divided into three levels. The first floor is about the collection of various human classics, including various versions of the Four Books and Five Classics, and the second floor is about various secrets and anecdotes in the ghost world. The last floor is also the least of the books it contains, which is the record of truly practical magic tricks and magic patterns.

The third floor is also the place where Du Bai has been lingering for most of the past few days.
Chapter completed!
