Chapter 285: Visualization Secret
Chapter 285: Visualization Secret
"At that altitude, we have already entered zero-gravity space, right?!"
"I don't know what's going on in that building!"
He released his divine sense and first explored all the buildings within a hundred meters in front of him. There were no people or other animals in all the houses and buildings, which was consistent with Xu Feng's guess.
He searched those buildings very quickly. Judging from the furnishings in the houses and some daily necessities, they should be residences, but he found nothing.
It didn't take long before Xu Feng searched all the buildings.
Got nothing.
But he was not discouraged. He looked towards the tall building several dozen meters high in the middle of the lake.
to be frank.
Given the ancient architectural level, it was beyond Xu Feng's imagination that such a tall building could be built.
He stood at the foot of the tall building and looked around for a moment. He discovered that the building was mainly made of wood with a few bricks and stones as a supplement. He looked up and estimated that it was about forty meters high, no more than fifty meters.
This height is already very high. In the city, it is almost like a 15-story building.
But looking from the outside of the building, it should be nine stories high.
Nine floors?
Nine-story demon tower?
Xu Feng's mind unconsciously popped up the building that he had seen in the Jingjue Ancient City.
But soon.
He shook his head, getting rid of the messy thoughts in his mind.
Are you kidding me?
How could this be the Nine-Story Demon Tower!
It just happens to be nine floors!
After Xu Feng rejected the messy thoughts in his mind, he strode towards the gate of the tall building.
The door was pushed open without much effort.
When the situation in the room appeared in front of Xu Feng, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face, and then it was quickly replaced by excitement and excitement.
Because the room was filled with bookshelves filled with countless bamboo slips.
If nothing unexpected happens, those bamboo slips are all books.
This is a library building!!
When Xu Feng was at the Beast Peak, he was thinking that if these five peaks were the heavenly palace built by Qin Shihuang for himself, then his bedroom must be on the small peak in the center, there is no doubt about that.
According to the ancients, Qin Shi Huang planned to ascend to heaven after his death and compete with the Emperor of Heaven for the position of the Lord of Heaven, so he built the Heavenly Palace which could be called a miracle, and trained 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals as the Heavenly Palace army.
Qin Shihuang experienced countless battles of varying sizes throughout his life, and many of them he led personally.
Naturally, he is very familiar with military operations.
Now we have a base camp!
The army is here!
Then he also has to consider logistics, or the capital needed to conquer the world.
The four surrounding mountains should be the foundation of his imagination.
Yaofeng can grow magical herbs continuously.
The alchemy room and weapon refining room can provide elixirs and magical weapons.
Beast Peak can provide war beasts.
We have magical medicines, magical pills, magical weapons, and magical beasts, so what else is missing?
There are still many things missing!
But Xu Feng’s first reaction was to think of the secret book of cultivation.
So at that time he wondered whether the fourth mountain might be the place where the books were hidden.
As it turned out, he guessed right!
Looking around, there are hundreds of bookshelves on the first floor alone, and each bookshelf is piled with a large number of bamboo slips.
"Developed!"
"Are these not all visualization secret scrolls?!"
"If so, this library is the greatest treasure of the entire Heavenly Palace."
Xu Feng excitedly walked to the nearest bookshelf and took down a bamboo slip from it.
Take a closer look.

Xu Feng: "..."
He looked at the pile of scrolls, all of which were Shang Jun's books, so he put them down and walked to the next bookshelf. [Item Name]: Sun Tzu's Art of War, Volume 33

The smile on Xu Feng's face has disappeared.
He put down the bamboo slips in his hand again and walked to the next bookshelf.

Xu Feng put down the bamboo slips in his hand, looked at the bamboo slips filling the room, and couldn't help but sigh: "Damn, why are all these books useless!"
Xu Feng found that he was really happy for nothing.
He originally thought that the whole room was filled with visualization secret scrolls, priceless treasures, but he never expected that they were all literary and historical books such as the Four Books and Five Classics, books on craftsmanship and medicine, and the Hundred Schools of Thought, which greatly disappointed him.
Of course, this does not mean that these literary and historical books are worthless.
Each of these bamboo slips is worth a fortune. If they could be transported out, it would definitely cause a huge earthquake in the history and archaeology circles.
But this is not what Xu Feng wants.
What he wanted were martial arts secrets, magical fighting skills, and a method of training that could transform him and improve his combat effectiveness.
"what……"
Xu Feng put down the bamboo slips in his hand and sighed.
Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. After all, my expectations were too high. Although these bamboo slips are not secret manuals of divine skills, they are rare treasures. At least I did not return empty-handed."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and began to collect the bamboo slips on the bookshelf into Guixu.
Soon, all the bookshelves on the first floor were cleared out.
He went up to the second floor.
As expected, the second floor was also filled with bookshelves, filled with ordinary bamboo slips.
Including the third, fourth and fifth layers at the back, they are all ordinary bamboo slips.
There were a total of five floors and hundreds of thousands of bamboo slips, all of which Xu Feng collected into Guixu. For this purpose, he swallowed several pills in succession to replenish his true energy.
Looking at the bamboo slips in Guixu, Xu Feng was a little shocked.
Although there are a lot of bamboo slips, when you really count them, there are actually not that many books.
After all, bamboo slips are not as good as paper books.
Often, the textual content that can be recorded in a book may take up dozens or even hundreds of volumes when converted into bamboo slips.
Xu Feng was not shocked by the number of bamboo slips, but by the fact that “Could these be the pre-Qin classics that Xiang Yu burned?”
They had previously analyzed Qin Shihuang's burning of books and burying of scholars.
Putting aside the unknown secret behind it, let’s just talk about the burning of books and burying of scholars.
Although Qin Shihuang banned the spread of various schools of thought including Confucianism among the people and burned books, he also agreed with Li Si's suggestion to compile a copy of all the classics in the world. In other words, there was a fairly complete set of book backups in the Qin Dynasty palace, and they were properly kept by the Qin Dynasty's doctors.
According to historical records, after Hu Hai ascended the throne, Li Si once advised him not to indulge in sensual pleasures all day long, but to read more classic works such as "The Book of Songs" and "The Book of History".
From this we can see that Qin Shihuang's book burning was merely a ban on the circulation of pre-Qin classics among the people.
What really caused heavy losses to the pre-Qin classics was Xiang Yu's massive destruction of the city of Xianyang after the fall of the Qin Dynasty. His fire burned away most of the essence of the pre-Qin civilization.
After the founding of the Han Dynasty, books were collected from the public, but it still could not make up for this huge loss.
However, Xu Feng just took a look and found that the hundreds of thousands of bamboo slips he had collected were exactly the Four Books and Five Classics and the classics of various schools of thought, which were also the ones that were burned by Xiang Yu in history.
