229 Knowing the causes of past lives
In addition to the military and political events these days, there is also something that makes me happy, that is, the ancient books and classics in the former Qi royal library - Wenyuan Pavilion are registered and made, the former Qi because of the wealth of the country, the Wenyuan Pavilion has 120,000 volumes, it is reported that the Southern Chen collection has reached 150,000 volumes, and my Northern Wei Dynasty collection is less than 100,000 volumes.
Therefore, in addition to being busy with business every day, I will take a moment to walk around in this Wenyuan Pavilion, in addition to helping to sort and make books for a while, I will also read quietly here for an hour.
The clerks who were in charge of sorting out the books saw Ye Cheng Mu running to Wenyuan Pavilion, and they were a little scared at first, lest they make a mistake in their official affairs, but after a long time, they were already surprised, because they found out that Ye Cheng Mu was actually a book lover, and when he read the book, he really forgot everything around him.
No, seeing that night was about to fall, the old official in charge of guarding the library saw the candles on the table, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it must be Ye Chengmu who was forgetting to read again.
I was afraid that this harsh winter cold would make this young Yecheng Mu cold, Originally, this study room could not burn a charcoal basin at will, but the old official still went to prepare a pot of charcoal fire and brought it in, and placed it not far from Ye Chengmu, Try to stay away from the bookshelf, so that the temperature in the room is slightly warmer.
Knowing that Ye Chengmu didn't want to be disturbed when he was studying, the old official saw that everything was arranged, so he quietly closed the door and went to the nearby study to inspect.
The room was silent, except for the sound of pages being turned and the shallow, even breathing of people......
I don't know how long it took, the candle on the table had been burned for more than half of it, I was satisfied with the book in my hand slowly closed and carefully put it aside, I didn't feel a leisurely sigh of relief, only to find that because of holding a posture for a long time, the whole body was a little stiff.
Have you seen this hour when you read a book?
I smiled bitterly, moved my body slightly, and looked out the window was already gray, and then I realized that the hour should not be early, so I slowly stood up, and after my limbs were a little active, I planned to go back.
As soon as he stood up, there was a sudden sound from the depths of the bookshelf in the distance behind him, like the sound of books falling on the shelf.
I couldn't help but be alert, picked up the lampstand and followed the sound slowly into the depths of the bookshelf.
Just because it was late today, the library had already fallen into darkness, accompanied by the light of the candle in his hand, reflecting the shadows of the books on the surrounding shelves, and the wide silence in the library at this moment made people feel a little worried.
"Who's there?"
I walked forward with the fire, and my eyes were a little alert.
Rightfully so, there was no response from any voice......
When I got here, I saw a few books slipping from the shelves, and a hanging dusty calligraphy and painting hanging from one corner of the wall.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it must be the calligraphy and painting on the wall that caused the painting to fall down obliquely due to the loosening of the nails over time, and it happened to hit the books on the bookshelf next to me, and the books would only make that movement when they landed.
I shook my head with a wry smile, put the candlestick aside, bent down and picked up the books that had fallen to the ground one by one and put them in the distance.
Curious, I dismantled the calligraphy and painting, and a small dusty wooden box in the dark compartment soon caught my attention, and I couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that there are really some rare treasures left in this library?
I'd like to see what kind of good things are here!
I lifted the wooden box out, brushed away the thick dust that had accumulated on it, and the ornamentation on the surface of the box resembled a Bagua diagram was revealed, and I moved the candlestick closer and slowly opened the wooden box.
It turned out that there were also a few books here, and a very peculiar scroll!
I couldn't help but wonder, are these books so rare, and why are they so hidden?
When I took the scroll in my hand, a strange feeling came over me, why, I think I have seen this scroll somewhere?!
I carefully opened the scroll, and the contents of the scroll and the touch of the white jade inside the scroll suddenly surprised me!
I've seen this scroll, isn't it the one I saw in the Yong'an Temple, the royal temple of the Northern Wei Dynasty?!
Looking at the strange pictures in the scrolls and the intermingling of different characters such as Chinese and Sanskrit, I don't know why, I felt a strong sense of uneasiness in my heart, what is this? Why is there such a strange scroll in the imperial palace of the Northern Qi Dynasty?
In a hurry, I closed the scroll and set it aside, picking up the other books inside to see if there were any other connections between them.
When I flipped to a book called "The Legend of the Family", I couldn't help but take the book out of it and carefully hold it in my hand.
This book is different from the family biographies I have read before, and I have only turned a few pages before I am attracted by the few lines recorded in it.
"Xuanyuan's learning, Xuanzhi and Xuan, the door of all wonders. Study the mandate of heaven, follow the hearts of the people, get the mystery of heaven and earth, break the method of the six paths, and know where the destiny of heaven returns. A family of metaphysics, headed by the Luodu Xuanyuan Ye family......"
Xuanyuan...... Ye Jia......
Click, the book fell in response.
After reading the relevant records of the Xuanyuan Ye family on the page, I only felt that the sky was dark, my footing was unstable, I was leaning on the bookshelf with one hand, and the books in my hand were also taken out of my hands......
"No, it's not true......"
I muttered to myself in despair, but my heart throbbed.
I have never really understood what kind of family the Xuanyuan Ye family is, even if I remember the general manager when I was a child, it is just a beautiful picture of a happy family, in fact, I don't know at all, what does the Xuanyuan Ye family mean?
......
"Can you give me the scroll?"
I don't know when, a suffocating beauty of the woman floated in, her white hair snow fur trimmed curved skirt, revealing a pair of delicate collarbones and seductive shoulders, such clothing, not only set off this woman's delicate figure, but also in the darkness emitted a faint silver light to be particularly attractive, and this girl is full of silver hair hanging down like a waterfall, a pair of beautiful golden pupils quietly looking ahead, the corners of the eyes seem to be a little smile, the blink of an eye, is countless kinds of style.
I really didn't expect to meet the mysterious white fox girl again in this Qianqi Royal Library Pavilion......
What she wanted was that weird scroll!
Thinking about it this way, there seems to be a reasonable explanation why she appeared near Yong'an Temple at that time.
This scroll is obviously not the one treasured by Yong'an Temple, that is to say, there may be many such scrolls in this world, one is treasured in the royal temple of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and this one appeared in the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and perhaps there are other scrolls left in his place, but it is certain that this strange scroll is inextricably linked to this girl named White Fox......
But what does all this have to do with me?
I turned my head and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of my eyes, at least in front of the white fox, I couldn't be so out of shape.
Calming my somewhat chaotic mind slightly, I reached out and took the scroll and handed it to the white fox without hesitation, not asking why she was here, let alone what her connection was to this scroll, everything was dealt with in silence.
The white fox is a very peculiar woman, her eyes can see everyone's hearts, so she knows very well that the seemingly weak young man in front of her is silently expressing to herself that she does not want to be disturbed at this moment.
The white fox gracefully took the scroll from my hand, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, this is the most interesting fate she has ever encountered in her life, although she knew the ending from the beginning, but she can't help but look forward to the twists and turns of the process!
The white fox smiled slightly and said elegantly:
"Thank you. ”
He turned around and left.
"White Fox girl, dare to ask if you have any relationship with the Xuanyuan Ye family?"
I couldn't help but ask the doubts in my heart.
"Xuanyuan Ye Family?!"
The white fox asked this with a smile, and seemed to be a little unimpressed, and then said lightly:
"I have no relationship with the Xuanyuan Ye family......"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"But ......"
The white fox's sudden turn made my heart tense, and then I heard the white fox speak slowly, and continued:
"The blood flowing between me and you is quite deep!"
My pupils couldn't help but widen, and I suddenly remembered the somewhat uncontrollable behavior of her choking my throat on the night I met the white fox, and it seemed that many things could be found at that time.
I've always known that the white fox is not an ordinary person......
"You know the cause and effect of everything, don't you?"
The white fox was noncommittal, she did not answer my question directly, but said with emotion:
"If you want to know the causes of past lives, then you will receive what you have received in this life, and if you want to know the consequences of future lives, you will be the ones who have done in this life. ”
......
I smiled bitterly three times, shook my head, and then said with a smile:
"What kind of cause, what kind of effect. Regardless of cause and effect, Gao Chen, wait and see!"
After speaking, he was free and uninhibited with all his fate, picked up the books that had fallen on the ground and threw them into the box, and immediately hugged the box, took the candlestick, no longer looked at the white fox, and walked directly to the brazier.
Putting the candlestick on the table, I took the box to the brazier and put it down, then opened the box and took out the books one by one, now I finally know why there has never been any record of such a strange family as the Xuanyuan Ye family in the official history, because these things really can't exist in the official history, they should disappear into the vast historical dust like the Xuanyuan Ye family, and never see a trace again.
If this is a never-ending, never-ending cycle of curses or nightmares, let it all end in my generation!
Without hesitation, I threw the books into the brazier one by one, watching the pages gradually drown out in the flames......
The white fox watched the every move of the person in front of her with interest, originally thinking that she would give up on herself after learning the truth, at least she must not accept it as calmly as she does now, because no one can face it directly after learning such a fate, let alone accept it calmly.
Because the so-called man will conquer the heavens, it is nothing but the conjecture of ignorant and fearless mortals who deceive themselves and others, cover their ears and steal the bell.
"Can you really bear such a cruel fate?"
The hands hidden in the sleeves have long been clenched into fists, my state of mind is still unable to restore complete calm, fate really played a ridiculous joke on me, but now I have no other way but to accept it calmly, because I have no way back!
"Even if it's just a chess piece, I have the value of my own existence, and I also have people who want to protect them with their lives!"
......
The old scribe who patrolled saw the fire in the house that was illuminated more and more brightly, worried that the water in the library was gone, and pushed the door in horror, but saw the young Ye Chengmu alone looking at the half-burned books burning in the brazier and was stunned, the old scribe took care of the library for half his life, and the most cherished thing was these precious books, and now seeing the books burned, his heartache was unbearable, and he exclaimed:
"Books, poor books......"
As he spoke, he looked left and right, looking for if there was any way to save these books that were about to be destroyed.
I let out a long breath, feeling that my mind was never clearer and clearer, I was too ignorant and tired in the past, and it was time to put aside everything and live for myself seriously!
"Burn it all, let it all burn it all!"
Hearing Ye Chengmu's desolate and cold words without any trace of warmth, the old scribe was stunned in place, and then together with Ye Chengmu, he watched the books in the brazier burn away, leaving only a pile of ashes......
Ye Chengmu just brushed his sleeves and left, and the old scribe only knew that after tonight, until he left Yecheng, Yecheng Mu never stepped into Wenyuan Pavilion for half a step.
......
With the former Qi criminals arrested one by one, their homes were raided, their houses were sealed, and their crimes were made public one by one, the people of Yecheng were all rejoicing, and their foreheads celebrated, and, soon, the execution ground in Dongshi has also been built, and as many as one hundred and thirty-eight convicts were sentenced to be executed, and the day of the great punishment in Dongshi was set on the fifteenth day of the first month, and everyone was excited and uneasy, waiting for the arrival of this great punishment day!
