"Let's go into the Xuanzhen Palace and take a look. Other alien races have already come in, and there will be a chance of a confrontation sooner or later. Now let's see what treasures we can find here." Yi Tianxing retracted his gaze and stepped decisively towards the Xuanzhen Palace.
Even the Thunder Dragon Path has been crossed, and now is the time to reap the rewards.
"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of treasures I can get in there."
Hearing that they were going to go treasure hunting, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly became energetic, his whole face was full of excitement. His body, which had been limp on the ground, suddenly regained strength and stood up without hesitation.
"What a huge palace. The palaces that the emperors used to live in were no bigger than this."
Monk Hua also nodded and looked at the Xuanzhen Hall in front of him and exclaimed.
There are no restrictions in this Xuanzhen Palace.
But a big door blocked the way.
This gate is very heavy.
Hua Heshang volunteered to step forward. He was born with supernatural power. With his strength, the whole door made a jerky sound and was pushed open little by little. After pushing it open, a huge space appeared in front of him. The view inside was wide, and he could see a hall appeared in front of him. Inside, there were bookshelves standing up, and on the bookshelves, there were rolls of bamboo slips.
"This Xuanzhen Hall is actually a place for collecting books and ancient scrolls. This is a Sutra Library. We are really rich this time. Such a large Xuanzhen Hall must have collected countless books. Rumor has it that the King of Huainan must have gathered thousands of alchemists to study the way to immortality, collect various Taoist books and Yin-Yang books, and build a mausoleum. He must have also collected a large number of Feng Shui books. These things are simply priceless treasures."
Ye Zhiqiu leaned in and saw the scene in front of him. His eyes flashed with intense excitement and his mouth opened wide, unable to close.
The most important thing is that what the King of Huainan seeks is immortality and the way to become an immortal. Most of the collected books must be ancient Taoist scriptures that involve these things, or even classics of hundreds of schools of thought. These things may not be worth much in the past, but now it is a time of great destruction and chaos. The value of the books is absolutely immeasurable. Any one of them is the crystallization of the wisdom of the sages of the human race.
Bamboo slips. These are the oldest books.
The words inside are carved with a carving knife and then rendered with ink. The handwriting is deep into the wood. Generally speaking, as long as the bamboo slips are not destroyed, the words inside will last for a long time. But a bamboo slip work may require a whole cart of bamboo slips.
Therefore, in ancient times, people would describe others as talented and learned as "learned and knowledgeable".
The five carts of books here refer to this kind of bamboo slips.
Of course, there are not only bamboo slips here. There are also a lot of animal skins and silks used as paper to record texts and books. This alone was an unimaginable amount of money at the time. It consumed a huge amount of resources.
It's even astonishing.
"So many books, how many ancient books did the King of Huainan collect? No wonder the legend says that after the King of Huainan 'ascended to heaven', even the house he lived in ascended with him. There are very few things left in the house. I have no idea why all the rare treasures he collected disappeared. I thought he took them away during his ascension. Now it seems that he must have taken them into the tomb."
Hua Heshang also said in amazement.
Ancient people always had a deep respect for books and knowledge. Many people regarded books as more important than life. In ancient times, people even had to borrow or steal books to read. Some people worked hard to record the books they had read and kept them as heirlooms.
I can read a book eagerly for years and even hold it in my arms when I go to bed at night.
It is not too much to forget about food and sleep.
It is the knowledge in books that is so precious.
It is not easy to pass it down.
Now all the books in such a large hall appeared before me, and the shock I felt was so strong.
"Well, this is the biggest and most precious treasure, a truly priceless treasure."
When Yi Tianxing saw this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of heat in his heart.
Such a huge volume of scriptures is incredible.
The classics here were carefully collected by the King of Huainan. Given his status and strength at the time, the classics he collected must have been from the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and even the Pre-Qin Period. Such classics have been lost in large numbers in later generations and disappeared in the long river of history.
That is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients.
Especially during the Spring and Autumn Period, when hundreds of schools of thought contended with each other, the sparks of wisdom produced by the sages of the human race at that time were enough to equal the development of human history for thousands of years. The classics and knowledge passed down at that time were even more priceless.
At that time, the Mohists could create mechanical birds that could fly, mechanical beasts that could fight and kill, and powerful mechanical cities. Farmers could shorten the time it takes for rice to mature. Doctors could see diseases in the human body at a glance, and the hanging pulse was a legend.
Military strategists are able to plan and win battles thousands of miles away.
Various theories emerged one after another, and various skills developed to the point where people were amazed and felt it was magical thousands of years later.
And this knowledge may exist in this hall.
When these thoughts appeared in his mind, even Yi Tianxing found it difficult to control himself and couldn't help but have all kinds of thoughts.
"Take them all away and put them all in the Sutra Library. This is a truly priceless treasure that cannot be measured by value or money. As long as it can be put in the Sutra Library, the knowledge heritage of the entire Xuanhuang Town will become even more powerful. The name of the Sutra Library is truly well-deserved. It will be of unimaginable benefit to the development of the town."
A thought instantly took root and sprouted in my mind, and could not be erased.
Seeing these things is more exciting and important than seeing any rare treasures.
"One Hundred Questions on Mohist Mechanisms. This is a classic book of Mohist. It's also here."
Ye Zhiqiu stepped forward and picked up a bamboo slip from a bookshelf. The words on the bamboo slip came into his eyes.
"And here is the Jade Rice Cultivation Notes. This is a farmer's classic book. Jade Rice, what kind of rice is this? Is it some special kind of rice? How come I have never heard of it before? Or is it cultivated and unknown to ordinary people? The news has been blocked."
Hua Heshang also picked up a bamboo slip and muttered to himself.
"Basic Pharmacopoeia!!"
Yi Tianxing also picked up a bamboo slip, which was a medicine book. It recorded the effects, uses, identification, and picking of various herbs and elixirs.
These are the crystallizations of wisdom left by our predecessors. Record your own experience. It may seem insignificant, but its value is also quite amazing.
"The Purple Yang Alchemy Sutra, this is a note on alchemy."
A book written on animal skin appeared before his eyes. This kind of Danjing was an alchemist's perception and understanding of alchemy, and it even contained the recipes of various elixirs, which was quite precious.
To create a pill, it takes thousands of experiments, and experience gained from repeated failures, and finally it is created. Its value is priceless. Not to mention, it also contains various experiences and annotations of alchemy. It is even more precious.
"The Analects, Zuo Zhuan, Han Feizi. These works are all here."
Ye Zhiqiu picked up several bamboo slips in succession, a look of amazement on his face, and spoke quickly.
"The collection of books here is extremely rich. With the status and position of the King of Huainan at that time, it was not difficult for him to collect these books. Moreover, the Han Dynasty also had a library. With his status, he could get handwritten copies of the books collected there as long as he asked for them. It is not difficult to understand that the collection of books is so rich."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and made a decision to move all the books here and put them all in the Sutra Library. They would become the collection of books there and enrich the heritage of Xuanhuang Town to the greatest extent.
Apart from anything else, as long as the news spreads, it will definitely attract the interest of countless scholars. In attracting talents, they all have innate advantages.
The collection of books here is really rich.
"You come here uninvited, you are a thief! Do you want to be a book thief?"
At this moment, a white-haired old man in a Confucian robe suddenly walked out from behind a bookshelf in the hall, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand. He looked at Yi Tianxing and the other two and spoke calmly, word by word.
But those words convey a power that attacks the soul.
As he opened his mouth, a righteous spirit burst forth.
It makes people unconsciously feel guilty and dare not face the truth. It seems that they are suppressed in their aura and feel that they are wrong. Their aura is dampened.
This is the power of Confucianism.
The righteous spirit swept over, making people involuntarily feel the invisible pressure.
Ye Zhiqiu and Hua Heshang subconsciously felt as if they had done something wrong. Their momentum was dampened and they didn't even dare to look directly at the old man in front of them. They felt as if their faces were burning, as if they had just stolen and encountered the owner coming back. Needless to say, that would be so embarrassing.
Even Yi Tianxing was secretly stunned.
Fortunately, this power had no way to affect him. As soon as it appeared in his mind, it was immediately shattered by the dragon roar that erupted from his body.
Confucianism and Taoism are best at cultivating a righteous spirit.
Use talent and emotion to cultivate righteousness.
"Such a pure and righteous spirit, such a profound Confucian and Taoist cultivation. May I ask who you are, senior?"
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and vaguely felt that the white-haired old man in front of him was definitely a powerful Confucian and Taoist monk. It was difficult to estimate his specific realm, but just by sensing, he could tell that the aura in his body was like the vast ocean, unfathomable. The righteousness in his body was extraordinary. He was obviously not a simple existence when he appeared here.
“I come from books. You can call me the Old Man of Book Mountain.”
The white-haired old man glanced at Yi Tianxing, and when he found that Yi Tianxing was not affected by him, a strange look appeared in his eyes, and he said calmly: "You...are planning to move the books here."
