Chapter 189: Thirty-eight
Chapter 189 Thirty-eight: Mo Hai
Everyone who was reading in the desk started to talk quietly. Before, they just recorded the damaged pages. After Li Chan reminded him and took a closer look in combination with the meaning of the text, it turned out that the parts that were chewed by the worms were exactly the word "god", and they couldn't help but feel cold on their backs.
"Lantai is equipped with defenses everywhere, and demons cannot be approached at all. How could this be done?"
"This place is blessed with long-term grace, and there have never been any mistakes in the sacrifice. It is said that there will be no worms, and there will be no demons."
"Since the saint went west, chaos has spread everywhere, and now it is even in the imperial city..."
Song Xiang frowned while talking.
Lantai sacrifices the great kindness of the book god. This god can protect books. Since the construction of Lantai, no books have been eroded or burned by rats or worms. However, since the saints went west, the divine way of the entire Dayong Kingdom has not been so effective. The rain gods in the places where drought and disasters cannot spread clouds, and the eight wax gods in the places where the locusts are flowing will not eliminate disasters. Now, even Lantai's book gods have problems.
During the sacrifices in various places, many rumors also arose. It is said that the saints today went west to Taodu Mountain, which violated the will of heaven and caused the gods to be unhappy in the nine heavens. Therefore, these chaos occurred and made the people live in trouble. But it would be fine if the people in the market muttered a few words about this. As the Minister of Lantai and the fourth rank of official position, Song Xiangruo could not escape the five eyes and six ears of the right monarch of Shenzhasi.
He pondered for a while, put down the book "Yulu Flight" and approached Li Chan, whispered: "I didn't expect that a demon really sneaked into Lantai. Please ask Li Youyi to return to Shenzhasi quickly and summon people. I will prepare for the sacrifice. I ask the gods to send their spiritual responses to kill the demon insects."
Li Chan withdrew her gaze looking at the bookshelf and shook her head and said, "No need for now, let me try it first."
"Li Youyi, Lantai is a major collection of books. This matter is very important and it is not negligent. It is better to be cautious." Song Xiang hesitated for a moment, "Besides, the worm fish only eats the word "god", and those damaged classics are not difficult to repair, but if you annoy the monster, the consequences will be unpredictable."
Li Chan asked, "Shilarious Minister Song knows the origin of the monster?"
"I don't know." Song Xiang shook his head, "but as long as you write a memorial, the situation will naturally be clear."
Li Chan raised her eyebrows and understood Song Xiang's plan. If she could sacrifice the book god before Shenzhasi, she would solve the problem, and the matter would be stopped in Lantai.
"What if I can't understand?"
"I have to ask if I can."
Song Xiang did not retreat, Li Chan smiled, "Of course I will not stop the sacrifices, but I will tour the capital for the saints, so the Minister of Song should not stop me from checking the demons."
Song Xiang frowned and thought to himself that the people in Shenzha Si were really troublesome and could not stop them.
At this time, Li Xikun, who was standing beside him, said: "Mr. Song, if it weren't for Li Youyi, we wouldn't have discovered that it was a monster worm that was causing trouble. I believe Li Youyi should have already had an idea."
"oh?"
"It's not considered an idea, it's just a little clue." Li Chan's eyes swept across the bookshelf, "It will take some effort to find out the monster. Please ask Mr. Song to take someone out of Shiming Pavilion and leave someone to give me some guidance."
"Okay." Song Xiang smiled, "Then the official will go to sacrifice to the long-term kindness. If the Book God can get rid of this worm, it can also allow Li Youyi to save some effort. Xikun, please stay and guide Li Youyi." After that, he took the proofreader and the clerk to leave Shi Ming Pavilion.
Only Li Chan and Li Xikun were left in the pavilion.
The proofreader guided the books in front and informed the categories of books in various places. Under the faint water essence light, Li Chan walked through the bookshelf.
"Brother Xikun is a person who understands the truth, but he is not very smooth as an official."
"If I am smooth, I wouldn't be a ninth-rank proofreader now." Li Xikun sighed, "But the proofreader is good, at least I can read the Lantai collection as much as possible." He said, and pointed to the bookcase on the left in front. "Li Youyi looked at this place. Most of the classics in this cabinet are biography of immortals. If the monster insect likes to eat the gods, the classics in this cabinet must have been seriously damaged."
Li Chan didn't care about the bookcase.
"Where are the ancient books hidden in this pavilion?"
"Are ancient books? Come here."
Li Xikun walked towards the north of the Pavilion, and there were many scriptures, silk books and bamboo slips in the closely arranged bookshelf. These books were preserved very well, but both the sealing lines and the spine were obviously for some time.
Li Chan stood under the bookshelf, looked up and down to check the books in the shelf, and said, "Don't you have to help Brother Xikun?"
"No one is short of me." Li Xikun finished answering without thinking, and understood the meaning of the Youyi envoy from Jingji. He was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly: "It's better for me to go and see it. If Li Youyi has something to do, he will call me out of the house."
"Let's go slowly." Li Chan smiled slightly.
Li Xikun said goodbye and left.
Li Chan watched the back of the scholar's scholar disappear from the bookshelf, then turned his head and looked at the many ancient books in front of him. Under the faint light of the water essence lamp, his black eyes like lighted paint were dyed with paint. He picked up a roll of bamboo slips, swept it at one glance and put it down, and picked up another silk book.
I have read the classics in the bookshelf one by one.
...
On the Lantai, on the divine platform of the Lingshu Temple, the Book God Changen was wearing a red dress, holding a yellow scroll in his hand, and following a book boy at his feet.
The sacrificial utensils such as the Hokun, Xiangzun, Shanzun and other sacrificial utensils were set up under the Gods. The music officers who arrived at the Taile Office also brought bells and drums. After Song Xiang washed his hands in the copper basin, he wrote a spurious article and threw it into the fire.
The music and the blue smoke were burning, and the sparse text was burning. Ling Zhu wore a five-color robes, a lotus crown, and a sleeve to bow his head. He saw the sandalwood smoke rolling in the furnace and faintly condensed into a human form.
...
Under Shi Mingge's bookshelf, Li Chan read a scroll of bamboo slips and silk books. Finally, when he picked up a book called "Zhitian Ji", he stopped. He opened it and read it carefully. The word "God" occasionally appeared in the book, but it was not eroded by the worm.
After reading "Shida Ji" word by word, he showed a glorious expression, put the book on the shelf, and sat down on the ground.
The pavilion was extremely quiet, and the sound of lotus leaking can be heard. Even the slight crackling of the lamp was very clear. Outside the window, the music of the sacrifice of the Lingshu Temple was vaguely heard.
The snow light shines through the window, mixed with the faint light of the water essence lamp, illuminating the dust particles.
The words on the spine of the book are like flying with the dust, like mosquitoes and flies.
There was a sound of flipping books, which was very weak at first, but then it was a tide.
A few words "East Sea and South Sea" flew past him. Li Chan reached out to touch her fingertips, and her fingertips were cold, as if she was entering the water. He curiously moved the "water waves" in front of him. Suddenly, the word "whale and salamander" appeared in the water!
The word "Whale and Salamander" comes out through the water, and it grows in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it turns into a long whale. The fish skin is shiny and covered with huge waves!
Wow! As soon as the waves hit, Li Chan's body was swept away like a candle, but he grabbed the whale's fins and sank into the darkness with the long whale.
Only a few bubbles came out, and the next moment, with a loud bang, broke out into the waves! He rode a whale and jumped into the sky
The dome is as pale as paper, and the vast sea is as dark as ink. The waves are floating and foaming, and a few drops of water are brushing against his cheeks and hair, but what kind of water is there? It is clearly a text!
