After having enough wine and food, Ximen Hao and Sanfeng left the inn and parted ways temporarily.
Sanfeng went to the job market in the business district to try his luck and see if he could find a job that suited him.
Ximen Hao has a lot to do. The first stop is to go to the Lingshi Museum to find out the news about the Soul-Absorbing Demonic Art, and at the same time, he also studies the history of Lingxu.
After all, Yuan Zeng has left Lingxu for more than two thousand years!
Yes, through inquiring, it has been more than 2,500 years since the Yuan family disappeared.
Therefore, even Yuan Zeng did not know the history of this period.
The Spiritual History Museum is not in the business district, but on the north side of the business district, separated from the residential area, but not very far.
There are many spiritual history museums in Kongling City. To put it bluntly, the spiritual history museum is also a city library.
There is no technology in Lingxu, so if you want to check information, you have to go to the Lingshi Museum, so the business of the Lingshi Museum is very good.
Of course, this kind of profitable business is also controlled by the Kong family.
…
"Two spiritual stones and one stick of incense. If you buy the incense, you will enter. When the incense is gone, you will leave. How many sticks will you buy?"
There was an old man sitting at the entrance of the Spiritual History Museum, with a stick of spiritual incense placed on the table in front of him.
Lingxu uses this standard spiritual incense for most of its timekeeping. One stick of incense lasts one hour, and it can also calm the mind.
"Five sticks."
Ximen Hao took out ten low-grade spiritual stones and placed them on the table.
In this special Lingxu, it is difficult to earn Lingshi, but it is very easy to spend it.
"Five sticks of incense, this is the reading card. I will notify you when the incense is finished."
As the old man spoke, he took out a sign and gave it to Ximen Hao. There was a number on it: seven one two.
Then he took out an incense burner numbered 712, inserted five sticks of spiritual incense into it, lit one stick, and threw it away on a shelf at the back.
On top of it, there were densely packed incense burners, all burning incense.
"Go ahead."
The old man pointed lightly to the door on one side.
This service attitude makes Ximen Hao really dare not compliment him.
But the spiritual incense he bought with the spiritual stones had already been lit, and he didn't want to waste it, so he entered the room with the reading card.
Although the door of the room is not big, once you enter, your eyes will light up!
There are three floors inside the Spiritual History Museum, and a spiral staircase rotates from the first floor to the third floor.
There are three floors of the hall, each floor is filled with wooden shelves.
The first floor is filled with white jade slips. From time to time, someone picks up the jade slips and puts them on their foreheads to read.
The second floor is half jade slips and half books. Some of the readers are looking at the jade slips and some are flipping through the books.
The third floor is all books, and there are even many ancient books, but not many people read them.
"The first floor is modern history, the second floor is a little further away, and the third floor is all ancient history, as well as some ancient information. However, these books are all replicas. Let's go to the third floor and look for information about sucking first.
News about the Spirit Demon Art."
Yuan Zeng's introduction saved Ximen Hao a lot of time. Time is the spiritual stone!
Ximen Hao went straight to the third floor along the stairs, and then checked the classification labels on the rows of shelves.
Ancient history, Lingxu Ancient Encyclopedia...etc. are divided into many categories.
Chronicles of Ancient Famous People!
Ximen Hao stopped in front of the innermost row of shelves. There were densely packed books recording a large number of famous people in ancient times.
"It's right here, look for it. Since the Soul-Absorbing Magic Art is so awesome, there must be someone among the famous people in ancient times who practiced it."
"good!"
Ximen Hao placed Xi Xi behind his back, and then his body suddenly deformed strangely, and a groove appeared behind him, holding Xi Xi firmly.
He is a slime and his body can change at will.
"Damn! It's forbidden, so you can only watch it with the naked eye!"
Xixi suddenly cursed. It turned out that she enjoyed reading those books with her own thoughts. In this way, two people can read one person's spiritual stone and make a sure profit.
Unfortunately, all the books have been sealed.
"Okay, you can go to sleep, I can do it myself."
Ximen Hao looked at the shelves one by one, mainly looking for books about introducing demons.
"One Hundred Ancient Demon Lords"
Ximen Hao quickly picked up a thick paper book and started reading.
It records hundreds of demon lords who practiced demonic arts in ancient times, and the records are very detailed, including their lives and some demonic arts.
Time passed little by little, and Ximen Hao was fascinated by it. He didn't know how much incense was burned.
Unfortunately, until I turned to the last page, I couldn't find any relevant information about the Soul-Absorbing Magic Art.
Reluctantly, he put the books back where they belonged and continued searching.
Suddenly, in the corner of the bookshelf, a thin book caught his attention.
The black cover has a few large blood-red characters written on it: The Ten Old Demons of Ancient Times!
Ximen Hao's eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.
Just as he was about to reach out to take it, he was taken one step ahead by a pale claw, especially the black nails, like a zombie.
"Um?"
Ximen Hao followed the paw and looked at its owner. He was a tall, thin, gloomy man with pale face, sunken eye sockets and blood-red lips.
"Boy, you're slow, please wait a moment."
The gloomy man's voice was so harsh that Ximen Hao's scalp went numb.
Ximen Hao frowned, then turned and left.
This gloomy man's cultivation level is much higher than mine, and it's not necessary for a book, since the other party can't take it away anyway.
"Hey, kid, are you really practicing magic?"
The gloomy man suddenly called out to Ximen Hao, because his appearance and aura did not look like a demonic person at all.
Ximen Hao stopped, turned around and said with a smile:
"What? You can't read these books without practicing magic skills? Please read them quickly, time is the spiritual stone."
After saying that, he leaned against the bookshelf, picked up a book "Ancient Spiritual Beasts" and started reading.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he reads it or not. There is a lot of commonly used knowledge here that Yuan Zeng already knows roughly, so he can just take a casual look at the conventional knowledge.
Seeing that Ximen Hao was cautious, the gloomy man stopped talking and started flipping through the book "Ten Ancient Demons".
Ximen Hao was reading the "Ancient Spiritual Beast Chronicles" while staring at the gloomy man from the corner of his eyes, feeling a little anxious.
The previous book "The Hundred Ancient Demons" wasted a lot of his time, and now he doesn't want to waste even one spiritual stone.
Fortunately, the "Ten Ancient Demons" was very thin, so the gloomy man quickly finished reading it and threw it on the bookshelf.
Ximen Hao dropped the spirit beast book and walked over quickly, almost bumping into the gloomy man. He picked up the book "Top Ten Old Demons in Ancient Times" and flipped through it quickly.
"Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? Humph!"
The gloomy man snorted coldly, and then continued to look for the books he wanted to read.
The top ten old demons in ancient times, the top big demons in ancient times, each have their own famous techniques and methods, and have done many earth-shattering things in ancient times.
However, there is very little information recorded in this book. It is just a summary of each old demon's life and famous achievements. Some of the techniques are not even clear, only the characteristics are written. (To be continued)
