It occupies a large area and has a surprising number of guests.

And the stall owner is a strange creature.

Right in the center of the market, there is a huge, half-open bamboo slip that looks ancient and mottled.

In front of the bamboo slips, there were already more than a dozen guests, including monks and monsters.

In front of them, stood an old man wearing Confucian robes. He had an ugly face and a huge head, but his eyes made people feel full of wisdom.

The faint white light shrouded the guests and the old man, cutting off the conversation between them.

When Tao Qian walked over, the relevant descriptions in the nameless secret book automatically appeared in his mind:

"There is a strange creature in Tengshe Town, who calls himself the 'book-eating old man'."

"No one knows whether it is a human monk, some strange thing that has gained wisdom, or an incomprehensible mysterious phenomenon."

"Many monks and demons have targeted it and attacked and killed it, but all ended in failure. However, it did not fight back. It seems to be following a strange rule of not killing."

"He often places a huge bamboo slip in the market. With just a piece of happiness money or other items of equivalent value, he can summon an old man's clone from the bamboo slip and get an opportunity to ask."

"The questions asked are limited to books, and the old man is not guaranteed to answer. Even if he answers, he will only tell some background stories about the book, practice taboos, etc. It is absolutely impossible to obtain the specific content."

"When a monk went to inquire about the twelve major Taoist sects, several large Buddhist temples, or the large volumes of life scriptures owned by several thousand-year-old families, the old man just sneered, said 'poof', and drove the monk out.

"

"But if it's some popular skills, secret techniques, etc., the old man will usually tell the truth about the background and taboos."

…

Chewing on these descriptions, Tao Qian had already walked to the bamboo slip.

He took out a happy coin from his sleeve and threw it directly at the bamboo slip.

When the coin touched the bamboo surface, a strange scene happened. It was like a wave of water, swallowing up the happy coin.

Then, an old man's figure turned from virtual to real and walked out from inside.

When standing in front of Tao Qian, a faint white light enveloped the two of them at the same time.

"What kind of secret book do you want to ask about? If I know it, I will definitely tell you."

After the old man with a huge head, who was comparable to a monster, did not rush Tao Qian, he just stood in front of him and waited patiently.

Tao Qian thought about it for half a breath, and finally swallowed the Immortal Fish Jue at his mouth.

Then, he bowed politely and said directly:

"Old senior, I would like to know the stories and taboos related to the 'Hundred Animals Show'. Can you tell me?"
