The master of the Reading Pavilion reported his origin, and Kong Ming naturally stepped forward to meet him as a junior. At the same time, he secretly sighed in his heart: The Za family is indeed the super powerful force in Yuanzhou, able to occupy the 300th floor of the Babel Tower as its base camp. It is indeed because there are so many talented people and strong men under his command! If it were another force, how could they easily send out several emperor-level experts to guard the Tongtian Tower? Only someone with a strong foundation like the Zajia can do it.
In fact, Kong Ming still overestimated the Zajia a little. You must know that although most of the floors below the 300th floor of the Babel Tower were given to the Zajia, how could the Zajia not pay some price
It is one of the obligations of the Za family to send some emperor-level powerhouses to sit above the 300th floor of the Babel Tower for the trial of the Road to Heaven. Moreover, not every gatekeeper on the road to heaven is an emperor-level powerhouse. It’s just that the path of the wise and the road of benevolence are somewhat special, so some emperor-level powerhouses with special strengths will be used. Guard the gate.
As for regular trials like the Road of Killing, there are naturally many other special means to test the strength of the passers-by. For example, connecting the special space of the "Bloody Arena" to the Tower of Babel is one of the means.
In fact, it is impossible for the gatekeepers on the road to heaven to use emperor-level experts at every level. Otherwise, not all of these young people who break through the barrier are as defiant as Kong Ming and have the strength to leapfrog challenges. If we really need some powerful emperor-level experts to guard the barrier, even if those who break through the barrier are from the younger generation. Top figures, but in the face of the suppression of absolute strength, they can only do nothing!
For these young passers-by, although they may perish on the road to heaven, if they really make it all the way to the end, they will find that there are great benefits waiting for them!
And the rewards you get for completing levels along the way are just a warm-up!
As for the level guarded by the Reading Pavilion Master, it is called "Reading Pavilion". If you want to successfully pass the level, it depends on your performance when passing the level and whether you can satisfy the Reading Pavilion Master.
At this time, looking at the look of the master of the Reading Pavilion, he was obviously very satisfied with Kong Ming's image and demeanor. He kept nodding his head, and then said with a smile: "Young man, if you want to get through the 'Reading Pavilion' in front of you, It’s actually very simple, as long as you have the ability to read, you’ll be fine!”
Having said this, the master of the reading pavilion stretched out his fingers and tapped on the desk in front of him a few times, and then explained: "The books in the reading pavilion are divided into eight categories. Look at the bookshelves around. Arranged in eight directions, each represents a way of reading! Young man, as long as you choose one of them and pass the test of strategy, you will be considered to have passed this level!"
"The so-called eight ways of discussion refer to political theory, people's livelihood, war, economics and trade, astronomy, geography, poetry and arithmetic! Although these eight ways cannot be considered all-inclusive, they also represent the current situation. If you make achievements in any of the mainstream ways in the world, you can be said to be a talented person in governing the world! And as for scholars, if they cannot be used by the world, then they are just reading books and being nerds, so what good is that?"
"Looking at you, you are definitely not a brave man who only knows about force. The fact that you can pass the first two levels at such a fast speed is enough to show that you are an extraordinary talent on this path of wisdom. I am looking forward to you very much. Performance during policy discussion. By the way, young man, which course are you going to choose for policy discussion?"
After introducing the so-called Eight Gates Theory, the master of the Reading Pavilion looked at Kong Ming expectantly, looking forward to what kind of answer sheet Kong Ming could hand over.
For Kong Ming, reading is naturally his strong point. At that time, he lived in a high position in Longzhong, but he was able to formulate a plan to divide the world into three parts without leaving home. This is a true portrayal of "a scholar can know the affairs of the world without leaving home"!
Moreover, Kong Ming's knowledge was extremely complex. It can be said that hundreds of schools of thought have dabbled in it, and he was proficient in everything. In terms of erudite talent, no one could surpass him in China for thousands of years! However, the hundreds of schools of thought that Kong Ming is proficient in belong to the Chinese civilization and have nothing to do with the current Tianyuan Continent. No matter how knowledgeable Kong Ming was before, he cannot help now.
Fortunately, when Kong Ming just traveled to Tianyuan Continent, in order to understand this other world, he did read a lot of books, almost all the books in Cuenca City! With Kong Ming's photographic memory, this knowledge is naturally firmly engraved in his mind, but it is obviously not enough to deal with the strategies of the Master of the Reading Pavilion!
After all, the former Cuenca City was just a dispensable outlying town. The collection of books in the city was limited. How many secrets could it involve in the Tianyuan Continent? With such a reserve of knowledge, how can we satisfy the Master of the Reading Pavilion
However, when Kong Ming laid his eyes on the densely packed bookshelves around him, he knew that the test at this level would not be as simple as policy analysis, so Kong Ming asked very calmly: "Senior, no matter which course you choose to conduct policy analysis this time, The contents involved are all contained in the surrounding bookshelves, right?"
The master of the Reading Pavilion smiled and nodded, and said: "Young man, you are very careful in your observations and very good at using your brain! Yes, all the policies and discussions in the Eightfold Discussion in the Reading Pavilion came from the surrounding books. The books involved in each path are 10,01 volumes, and the number of volumes ranges from tens of thousands to more than 100,000! For the military path, the number of volumes is the least, with only more than 50,000 volumes. It seems that the content There are not many, but the professional requirements are more precise. If you really want to read it through, the energy spent will not be less than those Taoist books with more than 100,000 volumes! Of course, you have to choose Minsheng Taoism with the largest number of volumes. See It seems to be close to daily life and easy to understand, but because it involves so many layers, it is not so easy to cover everything.”
Having said this, the Master of the Reading Pavilion glanced at Kong Ming and said: "When you entered the path of the wise, you should have passed the test of 'military chess'. I guess you are quite capable in the military field, why not choose the military path?" Maybe it will be easier to discuss the policy?"
Kong Ming did not answer directly, but continued to ask: "Before I choose to make a decision, can I take a look at the collection of books here?"
The master of the Reading Pavilion laughed and said: "The books in the Reading Pavilion are just for people to read. Is there any reason why they should not be allowed to read? Don't worry, you can read as long as you want. After you understand everything, we can make some decisions. also!"
After saying these words, the master of the reading pavilion made an invitation gesture to Kong Ming, and then ignored Kong Ming no longer, but held the ancient book in his hand and started reading it by himself with relish.
Kong Ming was calm in his heart. He walked straight to the nearest row of bookshelves, pulled out a book on the shelf, and started flipping through it quickly.
The row of bookshelves that Kong Ming is facing now are all books related to political theory. Although they are divided into 10,01 volumes, the total number of volumes is around 100,000, which is considered a medium-sized volume among the eight rows of bookshelves. .
But even for this medium-sized book, how can it not be easy to read all the more than 100,000 books and remember the contents? How to calculate the time spent? No wonder the master of the Reading Pavilion said, "You can read it as long as you want"!
However, Kong Ming's reading speed was so fast, it was like the pages of a book rustling after being blown by the wind. In just a few breaths, he finished the first book.
Is turning the pages in this way considered reading? It’s more like a child playing with a book!
When Kong Ming was a high-ranking scholar, he was famous for his quick thinking, ability to read ten lines at a glance, and a photographic memory. However, even if Kong Ming really had the ability to have a photographic memory, what would he be able to see with the current way of reading
However, the Kong Ming of today is very different from the Kong Ming of the Three Kingdoms era.
First of all, after having the experience of soul traveling through all planes of the universe, Kong Ming's current soul power is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one in Tianyuan Continent. Strong soul power means strong mental power, which also makes Kong Ming's photographic memory ability many times better than before!
Secondly, Kong Ming's current cultivation level is already considered to be at the top of the world, and his body's various functions have been strengthened to an extremely terrifying level. No matter how fast he turns the book, he can still read the contents recorded in the book. All in sight.
In this way, turning the book seems like a naughty boy's farce, but in fact, the entire content of the book has been imprinted in Kong Ming's mind!
By flipping through the first book, Kong Ming already had a rough understanding of his reading and memorizing speed, and his next actions were even more confusing to the Reading Pavilion Master.
I saw Kong Ming flipping out seven or eight books at the same time, wrapping them in Yuanli and suspending them in the air. Then a breeze blew up, turning the pages of these seven or eight books at the same time. It also took only a few breaths to finish. I finished reading these seven or eight books at the same time.
What are the benefits of having a strong soul? One of the benefits of being distracted like this is that even if he memorizes the contents of seven or eight books at the same time, it will not be difficult for Kong Ming at all.
Then Kong Ming's movements became faster and faster. He walked between the bookshelves like flowing water. Countless books were viewed by him in such a weird way!
The owner of the Reading Pavilion did not think that Kong Ming was reading in this way, but he was not moved by Kong Ming's actions at all. Instead, he looked at the ancient book in his hand intently, as if Kong Ming, who was flipping through books in the Reading Pavilion, did not exist.
Almost half a day passed, and Kong Ming had browsed through the bookshelves in the row of Political Commentary Road, but Kong Ming had no intention of stopping, and instead walked to the bookshelf in Minsheng Road!
