Chapter 54: The Book of Heaven
"Would you like to exchange?"
Feng Qing'an, who had two different perspectives, took a look at the full bookshelf in the room, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.
"Change!"
Each of the books that my eldest brother Feng Qingping copied from memory in his early years is priceless. This is clearly demonstrated by the fact that he was able to travel across the Black Mountain with only seven books.
But, precisely because they are so special, it is difficult to measure these books by the value of ordinary things.
But if this mountain god obtained the breathing method from comprehending the universe, it seemed that he had not lost anything in exchange. In a sense, he even made a profit. After all, there were so many books left to him by his eldest brother that they filled up an entire bookshelf.
"I just wonder how many books the Venerable God needs in order to pass on the breathing method you have comprehended to Black Mountain?"
Upon hearing this, the elegant scholar in green robes immediately raised his hand and extended a finger.
"Ten?"
Feng Qing'an asked tentatively, feeling a little excited. This number was easy for him to take out. There were more than ten or twenty books in every shelf on his bookshelf.
"One!"
The mountain god replied calmly.
"One!?"
Feng Qingan was a little bit unbelievable.
I spent a whole decade observing the movement of the universe, the changes of the sun, moon and stars, and figured out the breathing method, and you exchange it for a mere book?
"That's enough!"
The mountain god stood up and walked to Heishan, who was both excited and a little uneasy. He heard the entire conversation between his master and the mountain god, so he felt uneasy.
"Can I choose any one of these seven books?"
"Please do as you please, God!"
Until this moment, Feng Qing'an still couldn't believe it, as if it was a dream.
At this moment, his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the white wolf squatting in the clouds, its fur almost blending into the flowing clouds. Seeing the expression it inadvertently revealed, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Contempt? Disdain?
It was difficult for Feng Qing'an to describe the expression that the monster showed for a moment, because it quickly returned to its initial indifference, without revealing much emotion.
"I'll just take this copy of the Sage's Teachings!"
Qingshan Yashi took out a book from his book bag. This book, woven from crude yellow paper in the mundane world, seemed like a treasure at this moment and was especially cherished by the mountain god. After taking a look at it, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face and he put it into his sleeve.
Then the mountain god looked at Heishan, who was a little nervous, and stared at Heishan with a gaze as gentle as a tranquil lake. Under this gaze, Heishan gradually relaxed.
A slightly warm hand pressed on its head. Heishan was a little uncomfortable as it was the first time someone other than Feng Qing'an pressed his head. But before it could do anything, an indescribable force shook its will.
At this moment, it seemed as if the sky was falling, golden lotuses were emerging from the ground, and all things in the universe were before its eyes. The Black Mountain felt that it saw the entire world, but when it came back to its senses from the trance, it saw Feng Qingan with a stern face.
"God!"
Feng Qing'an didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment.
Because of the connection between the soul contracts, Feng Qingan was able to see some of the things when the mountain god was teaching Black Mountain. Just by a glimpse of this, Feng Qingan understood what the white wolf's expression meant.
The mountain god learned the breathing method from all things in the universe. Is that good or not?
Of course it’s good, it’s so exquisite, so wonderful that it’s like reading a book written in heaven!
Common name, I can't understand!
Feng Qing'an could sense Heishan's mood. This guy reacted at this moment, and there was a faint despair in his heart. What kind of cultivation breathing technique is this? He didn't understand! He didn't understand at all!
Feng Qing'an had also experienced such despair. It was a sunny afternoon and his pen fell to the ground. When he picked it up, he deeply understood what it meant to read the book from heaven.
At this moment, Heishan felt even more desperate than he did all those years ago, because he could not even recognize words and had just learned to understand human speech. He could see all the Dharma passed down to him by the mountain god, but he could not understand it at all.
"Don't be impatient. My Dharma cannot be understood in three to five years. As it grows older and sees more and more things, it will naturally understand. Perhaps at some point it will suddenly realize everything I have passed down to it!"
The mountain god looked at Feng Qing'an and Heishan thoughtfully, then smiled and said.
"Of course, if you are still not satisfied, you can seek exchange with the White Wolf Lord. Its bloodline is more noble than mine back then. Its ancestors left more than one set of breathing techniques in their bloodline!"
Lord White Wolf!
Feng Qingan looked at the handsome white wolf, and the white wolf met Feng Qingan's gaze and rejected him coldly.
"I don't need the human race's books!"
"No, you need to!"
But the mountain god spoke at this moment and rejected it.
"Your Excellency is right, I need it!"
Facing the mountain god, the white wolf lowered its head humbly, then raised its head again and looked at Feng Qingan.
"My ancestors have engraved three breathing methods in their blood. Can I exchange them for a book?"
"sure!"
There was no need to hesitate. Feng Qing'an agreed immediately .
As he finished speaking, the white wolf was seen walking towards Black Mountain. When it got closer, the huge difference in size between the two wolves immediately created an extremely strong visual impact. Black Mountain's claws were not much bigger than the white wolf's.
"Lucky little fellow!"
Looking at Black Mountain, White Wolf had to admit one thing.
It had been in the mountains for seven hundred years, and had seen countless wild wolves similar to Heishan, including hundreds or thousands of wolf monsters. But no wolf was as lucky as Heishan - first it received the teachings from the mountain god, and then it passed on the inheritance engraved in its blood.
Thinking of this, the look in White Wolf's eyes when he looked at Black Mountain inevitably changed. Among the monsters, those with ancient bloodlines are certainly respected, but bloodline cannot decide everything.
Just like this mountain god, it was just a white snake at first. Even after it turned into a demon, it did not obtain the method of breathing from its blood. However, this still did not affect it from becoming the master of this thousand-mile mountain.
"Don't waste such an opportunity!"
After saying that, the white wolf lowered its head, and a surge of spiritual light burst out, completely covering Heishan's figure. The full moon hidden behind the dark clouds in the sky suddenly appeared, becoming bright and clear, like a jade plate.
This time, Black Mountain finally got something. It saw a giant wolf, whose size was as majestic as the green mountain in front of it, howling at the moon.
Endless essences of the stars and the moon fell from the sky like a cluster of stars and landed in the giant wolf's wide-open mouth. For a moment, the night sky became dim.
Outside, Feng Qing'an saw starlight as thin as silver threads falling and injecting into Heishan's body.
