Chen Luo stepped into the fifth floor, as if he was suddenly in a strange space.
The atmosphere of various eras crisscrossed and rushed towards him. Chen Luo looked up and saw that the entire library was divided into three areas.
They are the collection of ancient books, the collection of medieval books, and the collection of modern books. Each area is as densely packed as stars.
Chen Luo first moved to the ancient area. From the beginning of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to Yao, Shun, and Yu, Chen Luo looked around and saw the books on the display shelves. They were more like objects than books. Rows and rows of jade pieces,
Stone chips and wood chips are stacked neatly. Next to them are piles of turtle shells, stacked orderly on wooden boards. Each of these objects displays ancient information, as if they span hundreds of millions of years and travel through time and space.
Come.
Chen Luo looked around and saw that there were many characters and symbols densely packed on these jade, stone and wood slices. Some of these symbols were as big as a bucket, there were only a few words on one piece, and some were densely packed.
Pieces, one piece after another, layer upon layer.
Chen Luo closed his eyes and felt it. Every symbol exuded extraordinary rhymes of the times. These rhymes came from the ancient scriptures with subtle meanings recorded on them.
It is extremely difficult for stories from ancient times to be passed down to this day. Except for those top masters who narrated the stories and principles into scriptures, they were passed down to the world. Apart from this, there are few other channels.
There are faces like jade in the book. Chen Luo closed his eyes and stood in front of the ancient Tibetan book, trying to sense the story behind it. One after another figures came out of the book, including a wise man with gray hair and a childlike face, a farmer standing with a hoe, and a man in linen robes.
Sir, these are all ancient powers, but they are not as beautiful as jade.
The ancients would never deceive me, Chen Luo thought to himself, the ancients would also deceive others.
If the water costs three thousand, only one scoop will be taken. Chen Luo walked back and forth along the bookshelf, and among millions of books, he locked on one book, or a set to be precise.
The reason for locking is that this book is full of vitality. Chen Luo senses that the information it emits can be said to be surging and full of atmosphere. It will last forever and must be a book that is still closely related to modern society.
.
Chen Luo opened the title page of the book, and there were already dense annotations. Three words came to his face: "Annotations to the Water Classic". After looking carefully, it turned out to be the ancient "Water Classic" annotated by the medieval great master Li Daoyuan.
Although Chen Luo still doesn't understand symbols deeply, it is much easier to read the annotations. Chen Luo could only flip through a few pages, and the more he read, the more frightened he became.
"Drawing the water from the world, one hundred and thirty-seven."
The ancient great master who created the "Shui Jing" not only summarized and recorded the layout of mountains, rivers and rivers in ancient times, but also predicted changes in the coming thousands of years.
The seas have changed, the years have changed, the mountains, rivers, rivers and moon have also changed and changed accordingly. Many things have also been passively sleeping underground.
Chen Luo corroborated some of his own knowledge based on his predictions, which turned out to be very accurate. This clairvoyant's ability to predict the future is truly remarkable.
What's even more rare is that the Shui Jing Zhu contains a large number of records of the changing trends of jade veins in the world. What modern people are looking for, ancient people have already recorded.
"There is a Jade Mountain in Nanyang, and jasper comes out of the mountains."
"Holy Water also passes to the east of Yushi Mountain, which is called Yushikou. There are many jade and swallow stones in the mountain, so it is named after jade."
"The west city is governed by mountains rich in jade. It's three hundred and eighty miles from Pishan to the west, and more than five thousand miles from Yangguan to the east."
Chen Luo was overjoyed as he read paragraph after paragraph of records about jade. It took no effort at all. Having this book was worth ten years of hard study.
Chen Luo has been practicing so far, but he has not really read many scriptures seriously. Most of them were passed down orally by the old blind grandfather. Chen Luo listened and memorized them at the same time. This also created Chen Luo's amazing memory ability.
The original text of "Shui Jing" has more than 10,000 words. After Li Daoyuan's annotation, the whole book was expanded to 40 volumes, and the number of words was also expanded dozens of times.
The book not only records more than a thousand large and small rivers in detail, but also involves numerous historical relics, personal anecdotes, myths and legends. In particular, the finishing touch mentions the origin and direction of jade veins in the world, pointing out the direction for jade miners all over the world.
Chen Luo remembered that there was another scripture in his storage ring, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
There are only three sources of jade in the world: hidden in mountains, hidden in seas, and hidden in rivers and lakes. Can it be said that if you possess these two scriptures at the same time, you can have a panoramic view of all the jade veins in the world?
The Classic of Mountains and Seas stretches across mountains and seas, telling all the stories of mountains and seas, as well as many strange monsters. Many places that were once land and wilderness have turned into seas in the blink of an eye. Many places that were once jade mines have been submerged in the vast mountains and seas.
In some places, the jade mines are gone, but many monsters have emerged. For example, the Donghai mineral vein that Dongyi Fuhua Building is searching for.
"Shui Jing Zhu" starts from water, mixed with historical allusions and various schools of thought, basically covering all land waters, as well as various supporting stories and legends.
Water benefits all things without competing for them, so it can become great. Therefore, there are so many treasures hidden in the water.
Chen Luo was secretly happy.
Opportunities should not be missed, and they will never come back again. It is better to choose a day than to hit it. Chen Luo began to study hard.
It took an entire afternoon for Chen Luo to finally finish reading it for the first time. He had probably digested and absorbed 50% to 60%. It was this 50% to 60% that made Chen Luo feel as if he had traveled through the long river of history and the changes of the years.
This time travel transcends time and space.
Before he could finish his thoughts, Chen Luo took out the memory jade tablet and collected all the texts and pictures in the forty volumes of Shui Jing Zhu for future research and support.
Chen Luo continued to search, always wanting to find out if there was an annotated version of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so that he could get twice the result with half the effort. However, he was very disappointed. Chen Luo searched for a long time. Although there were some interpretations and annotations, they were all one-sided and distorted.
Reference meaning.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a unique book that even medieval masters like Li Daoyuan did not dare to write annotations on, let alone later generations.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Luo decided not to delay anymore and continue studying another day. He went back to prepare for the next round of the rematch.
When he went out, the list was out. Chen Luo looked at the results of today's competition. Of the 312 players left in the previous round, almost two-thirds were eliminated, leaving 103 players left.
After reading the rankings, most of the players have already left. There are also some players who have no connections but have performed well and have been invited by major sects to discuss joining the team.
There is also a sneaky little scalper at the bottom of the list. He is staring at the players who come to watch. If anyone shows joy, he will rush up and chat enthusiastically.
Chen Luo succeeded in guessing the ball, and relied on the magatama to find his "true heart". He secretly said that he was lucky, but he was not overjoyed.
"Brother, do you want to pay homage to the mountain gate?" A scalper came over enthusiastically.
"Fuhua Building, Ruili Building, Hanyu Building, and Yubang are all fine."
"Kunyu Mountain, Wuji City, White Camel Mountain, and Yihua Palace are also acceptable!"
"It only costs 50 taels to introduce Shanmen. Brother, do you want to try it?"
As Huang Niu spoke, he looked at Chen Luo, trying to read something from Chen Luo's face.
However, Chen Luo remained calm, shook his head, and turned to leave. Although joining the mountain gate is a shortcut in life for people who are unknown and have no sect. Joining a sect, having the background and resources, will increase the speed of cultivation a lot.
But Chen Luozhi is not here and will not consider attaching himself to any organization in the short term.
"Brother Chen Luo is back!" Xiao Yu'er said happily when she saw Chen Luo.
"Xiaoluo, Mr. Tian Wuji of Fuhua Tower has sent a congratulatory gift!"
Chen Luo saw an exquisite gift box placed on the table.
