Each word is uniformly square, which makes people feel comfortable and easy to read without any difficulty or unclear handwriting. In it, every sentence and every punctuation mark are clearly visible.
The punctuation marks were given to Cai Yan by Yi Tianxing.
It makes copying books easier.
It will also be easier for latecomers to read.
"What a magical Sutra Library! The ancient books I copied not only changed in material, but also in handwriting that became so square that I can't even tell my original handwriting. But it's clearer and easier to read. It's more perfect this way."
After Cai Yan flipped through it, she found that the content was exactly the same as what she had copied, but the handwriting of the words had all changed to regular script, just like a standard Chinese textbook, with clear handwriting and very comfortable reading. However, these books did not have the power of inheritance, and she could only rely on reading them herself and understanding them bit by bit. There was no other way.
Because these books are ordinary books in themselves and do not contain any special heritage connotations.
There is no way to pass it on.
But that’s also where the real fun of reading books lies.
"Well, I believe that in the future, this will become one of the most numerous scripture storage pavilions in the entire Eternal Continent. I hope that one day, this place will become a mountain of books and a sea of learning, storing a vast amount of classics."
Yi Tianxing smiled calmly.
Although it is empty now, sooner or later, countless books will fill the entire Sutra Repository, making it one of the largest libraries in the world.
Moreover, it was not only Cai Yan who could memorize a large number of books. Some scholars also memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, various classics, history and miscellaneous collections in their minds. Some even carried some books with them. With all these gathered together, the Sutra Library on the first floor should be able to be enriched quickly and not appear too monotonous.
"I remember that Uncle Huang seemed to have some books in his hands. If I talk to Uncle Huang, he will probably agree to put them in the Sutra Repository, allowing the Sutra Repository to complete its collection." Cai Yan said after a slight hesitation.
"Well, not only Confucian classics, but also classics of hundreds of schools of thought can be put into the Sutra Library and collected. There are also various craftsman's skills, medical books, and so on. Any kind of book can be included in the Sutra Library. My goal is: more, wider, and more complete."
Yi Tianxing said with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Yes, it is entirely possible to gather together the craftsmen in Xuanhuang Town, let them record their skills, and put them in the Sutra Library.
Of course, the skills included are of the mundane level. If they are skills at the cultivator level, they will not be included in the first level.
"If this kind of thing is to be promoted, we must think carefully about it and discuss it with Mr. Huang and others. Books placed in the Sutra Library can be rewarded with merit points."
Yi Tianxing muttered to himself.
Sometimes, knowledge is more important than human life.
... ... ... ... ... ..
Inside the mansion, in the lobby.
Yi Tianxing sat at the top, and below him gathered the main backbones of Xuanhuang Town.
Huang Chengyan, Lu Shi, Hu Bin, Wang Fengshan, Qiu Weiming, Jia Yucun, Lai He, Xue Jin, Zhang Yue, Yang Ye and his son, Wang Dahu, and Cao Zhengchun stood behind him.
"My lord, I fully support your wish to expand the Sutra Library. These days, I have used the white paper made by Li An to copy down the ancient books in my memory. However, there are not many of them. I originally planned to read them in my spare time to review the old and learn the new. Now that my lord needs them, I will naturally put them in the Sutra Library first. Only by including them in the Sutra Library can they benefit the people in Xuanhuang Town and enlighten the people."
After arriving at the lobby, they all knew about the Sutra Library. Huang Chengyan was happy to see this happen. This was a good thing and there was no reason to stop it. This was the inheritance of knowledge, and any scholar should support it.
"Moreover, among the newcomers in Xuanhuang Town, there are quite a few scholars. These people come from various worlds and dynasties. They have read different books and have a wealth of knowledge. I think we can let them copy out the ancient books and poems they have learned and store them in the Sutra Library. I believe that this will greatly enrich the number and variety of books in the Sutra Library."
Huang Chengyan proposed again.
Those scholars who were truly talented had memorized a large number of sage books even if they just memorized them by rote. They might not have very flexible brains, but they could still memorize them by force.
Copying books is a common thing for scholars.
It's not difficult.
"Well, I have decided that the first-level Sutra Library will accept donations from anyone. Ordinary books, masterpieces by sages, miscellaneous studies, medical books, etc. can all be placed in the Sutra Library. For each book donated, you can gain a merit point. With accumulated merit points, you can exchange them for martial arts techniques in the Sutra Library. However, the same book can only be donated once, and the Sutra Library will only collect one copy."
Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
It is not good to collect books for free, so this is also a kind of reward to encourage such behavior. After all, in many cases, some skills are unique skills, which are passed down from sons to daughters. If people are asked to record their skills in books, compile them into volumes, and put them in the Sutra Library, it means that everyone can read them, and if others learn them, they will inevitably feel unfair.
Of course, this is only the part that does not involve practice.
But knowledge, which is the crystallization of wisdom, needs to be encouraged.
"My lord, there are many craftsmen gathered in my Tiangong Pavilion. Moreover, under the influence of Master Lu, they have begun to study how to extend their skills to practice. Compared with ordinary skills, many people are willing to take them out and put them in the Sutra Library. This is also a kind of inheritance."
Hu Bin took a step forward and spoke.
Since Master Lu created the powerful weapons such as the Talisman Arrow, Crossbow, and Flying Spear, many craftsmen have begun to change their research direction in this direction. However, to make ordinary items extraordinary, the most important thing is undoubtedly to have talismans and understand runes. To give those items extraordinary abilities. There is the "Basic Talisman Scripture" in the Sutra Library, but it is not free and requires merit points.
Now many people are desperately trying to accumulate merit points, wanting to exchange for the "Basic Talisman Scripture" as soon as possible, but merit points are too rare. Only soldiers have a fixed amount of merit points. Others need to complete tasks in the Tiangong Pavilion, and they need to create new items, such as Master Lu's Talisman Arrow, to obtain a large number of merit points.
Now, as long as you copy your skills into a book and put it in the Sutra Library, you can get merit points. I believe many craftsmen will be willing to do so.
Even Wang Fengshan and his men had no objection. They increasingly felt the changes that cultivation had brought to themselves. Their own medical skills needed innovation and transformation. They needed to transform themselves into alchemists. Only when medical skills were spread out could they benefit the people.
"This is the first thing. Another thing is that I suddenly had an idea and felt that I was about to break through, so I planned to retreat for a period of time. This retreat is a death retreat. The outside world will not know unless it is extremely critical. Therefore, during these days of retreat, I will get rid of the various things in Xuanhuang Town that you are in charge of and build."
Yi Tianxing opened his mouth and told the second thing.
If possible, he didn't want to leave at this time.
"My lord, are you planning to stay in seclusion?"
Huang Chengyan heard this and looked at Yi Tianxing meaningfully, then said: "Now that Xuanhuang Village has been promoted to Xuanhuang Town, there is a lot of work to be done. In addition, the lighthouse has been built, which can continuously attract people from all around. If we close ourselves off, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep going for too long. We can handle some small matters, but the big matters still need the Lord to take charge personally."
There seemed to be something hidden in his words.
"Yes, I guess that the construction of the lighthouse may attract nearby forces to come and investigate and communicate." Master Lu also spoke.
“Don’t worry, it’s just the Divine Sea Realm. It won’t take long to go into seclusion now. It won’t be more than half a month at most. It may be over in a few days.” Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
He also knew that the town was developing rapidly, so the sooner he returned, the better.
It would be a pity to miss the world's number one martial arts tournament. This is a great opportunity.
Afterwards, Yang Ye and others also expressed that they would definitely guard Xuanhuang Town carefully during this period of time and would never allow any enemy to invade Xuanhuang Town.
At this time, in a remote corner of the lobby.
A vicious green-haired dog was lurking cautiously, its two green eyes narrowed, and the green hair that was originally only on its four paws had begun to spread to its four legs, even covering part of its calves. It looked like a moldy walking dog meat.
It was motionless and had no breath at all, and was not even noticed by the people in the lobby.
Green Emperor narrowed his eyes, pricked up his ears to listen, curled his lips in disdain, and sneered in his heart: "Seclusion, you are kidding. Do you really think that this emperor does not know how to practice? Why does the Divine Sea Realm need to be in seclusion? If you want to be in seclusion, it is not for cultivation. You must be studying some strange things. However, the most likely possibility is that you are plotting something. I, Green Emperor, must reveal your true face. This time I must catch this Yi's handle. Then, let's see if he dares not to give me the crystal stone to eat."
"I will eat ten meals a day, and ten crystals each time. Green Emperor, come on, you will definitely be able to get his dirty information."
The Green Emperor sneered in his heart and stared at Yi Tianxing.
For some reason, it just felt that Yi Tianxing was definitely not going to retreat, but must be doing something else in secret. As long as he could find evidence, he could eat as many crystals as he wanted. He didn't want to be like this now, guarding the crystal mine every day, eating only one crystal a day, and watching the shiny crystals slip away from him.
This kind of thing cannot be tolerated. (To be continued.)
