Chapter 227: The Largest Book Collection in Western Chu
The Library of Xichu University is also known as the Temple of Book Mountain, the Hall of Ten Thousand Books, and the Hall of Books.
This place is one of the most important places in the University of Western Chu and even the Kingdom of Western Chu.
Its predecessor, the "Overlord Book Palace", probably dates back to 2,000 years ago.
When Emperor Shengwu founded the Overlord Academy, he collected almost all the classics of the Chinese Hundred Schools in it, and he attempted to build the Overlord Academy into the world's largest comprehensive palace.
Over the past two thousand years, the Bawang School Palace has experienced several turbulences, and now the official name has been changed to Xichu University, the former Bawang Book Hall was damaged in several turmoil, and the current library hall was later renovated and rebuilt. The Overlord Academy has also gradually changed from a comprehensive super academy to a top-level academy specializing in martial arts.
At its most glorious time, the Overlord Academy was the largest and most comprehensive institution in the world.
Now Xichu University has long lost its former glory, but it is also one of the top universities in the world, especially in the field of martial arts, and there is no school palace power that can shake the status of Xichu University in the field of martial arts for the time being.
Xiang Yun verifies his identity and enters the library hall.
Although Xichu University has experienced turmoil and declined, and most of the once precious books are now lost, as a once comprehensive super university, the collection in the Xichu Library still has a great advantage over other top universities.
Xiang Yun felt like he had walked into a huge palace.
In terms of layout, the library hall is indeed a huge nine-hall palace complex.
It has a total of nine layers from the outside to the inside, and the deeper it goes, the more advanced and precious the books are, and each layer has multiple administrators or overt or covert guards, the strength of these administrators is unfathomable, and there are more than 100 kinds of large arrays in the library.
No one can make trouble in the library.
Even if it's a Longevity Realm powerhouse, it's the same.
Xiang Yun originally thought that the library was like a large library, a high-rise building, and the books were classified into different floors in the borrowing rooms.
Who knew that this place was tiled, and the scale was much larger than expected, and it was not inferior or even superior to the Forbidden City, such a huge palace complex, each palace inside, there are tens of thousands of books, God knows how many classics are collected in the library!
Xiang Yun's heart became excited.
This kind of place is a paradise for him!
What is he coming to Xichu University to cultivate? Isn't that just to find such a place!
The administrator of the first floor of the book hall was a cold and beautiful woman who looked thirty or forty years old, she was sitting at the entrance of the south gate, holding a volume of ancient books, and the attentive reader only briefly verified Xiang Yun's identity, and then said lightly: "From this gate, the sixteen book halls all belong to the scope of the first floor. The first layer of classics can be read at will, but they can't be damaged or taken away, and they consume one credit per quarter of an hour, and if the credits are not enough, they will be automatically sent out, do you understand?"
"Yes, teacher, students get it. ”
The cold and beautiful woman threw a token to Xiang Yun: "Go in." ”
Xiang Yun got the token, the door control of the hall was automatically unlocked, and when Xiang Yun walked into the inside of the library hall, he immediately felt an ancient and heavy aura.
A group of tall black palaces spread out in front of him, and the space inside each palace was very large, but it was full of tall bookshelves, and on top of these bookshelves were piled up jade slips that exuded energy fluctuations. Most of the books in the collection of the book hall of Xichu University are originals containing artistic conception, rather than crude copies and fakes.
That's why the value of this place is even more prominent.
This is not only a collection of knowledge, but also a treasure trove of infinite value!
Xiang Yun looked left and right a few times, probably the scale of the book hall is too large, and the number of students in Xichu University is only so much, so it feels very empty, and only a few figures can occasionally be encountered in the huge library hall, and most of the people who enter here are reading without distraction, after all, staying in this place all the time requires the consumption of credits.
"There are so many books here!"
Xiang Yun casually walked into a large hall of books.
The library management of this world is also very detailed, and the martial arts area, the medical area, and the Taoist school area will be marked, and even in the martial arts area, dozens of kinds will be distinguished by fist techniques, palm techniques, body techniques, sword techniques, knife techniques, etc., and there will be more small categories under each big classification.
All in all, look for what you need.
The first floor of the library hall does not have particularly advanced learning, and many of the classics collected here, some of which can even be bought in bookstores, most of them are basic theories, basic research, and basic exercises. However, what can be collected by the library must be selected by thousands of people, so as to avoid wasting time and seeing some bad works.
In addition to the classics that have been circulated in the world, there are many private goods of Xichu University, including the lone book left by the Overlord Academy in the early years, as well as the research of teachers and students of Xichu University for thousands of years, these precious materials are difficult to find in the outside world and the Internet.
This is exactly where the essence of a top university in China lies!
"Huh, I don't think I'm coming from the right place!"
Xiang Yun briefly walked around this book hall and found that most of the classics in this book hall were not in the field of martial arts, and there were sixteen huge palaces on the first floor of Xichu University.
These books can meet the needs of some geniuses who are cultivating in several schools, and can also broaden the horizons of martial arts monks, you must know that even if you don't practice in these fields, as an outstanding powerhouse or scholar, you have to stay up all night to learn something from other families, whether it is for combat or for your own cultivation, it will have an indescribable effect.
It really deserves to be the top cultivation holy place in Western Chu.
Only when you come here can you really feel the background!
Xiang Yun is not a picky eater, since he came here, he is to concurrently cultivate the strengths of a hundred schools!
There is a heavenly book soul, which is so confident.
Xiang Yun casually took a book from the bookshelf, it looked a little shabby, some history and years, the title of this book was about "The Book of Food", which made his heart move slightly.
This "Food Classic" is a famous kitchen classic!
"The Book of Food" will be from the cooking techniques, cooking formations, and basic techniques, to the seasoning ingredients, the good and bad of various ingredients, the origin of the efficacy and usage, and the storage system are analyzed in detail, just the introduction and analysis of raw materials as many as more than 9,000 items, although it does not include recipes in it, but it is a qualified chef must master the basic skills!
It is said that there are a total of eighty-one volumes of the "Book of Food", and the average spiritual chef only needs to master about thirty-six volumes, Xiang Yun swept the bookshelf and found that all the eighty-one volumes of the "Book of Food" were there.
In addition, there are 109 volumes of notes and supplements left by famous chefs from all over the world in China on the "Book of Food", the latter is a precious theory and supplement that money can't buy.
It is also something that ordinary chefs simply can't reach.
This is the special advantage of the collection of books at Xichu University.
Xiang Yun opened the first volume of the "Book of Food" in his hand and found that there were also many remarks in this volume of the Book of Food, which were obviously added by top celebrity chefs when they were learning to read the Book of Food, and the "Book of Food" purchased in the bookstore definitely did not have these, and the value of these notes even exceeded the value of the book itself, which was the real essence.
"Good guy, these eighty-one volumes of the "Book of Food" full of remarks, plus one hundred and nine volumes of supplementary notes and experiences, ordinary people are afraid that they will not be able to study it thoroughly without ten or eight years, I didn't expect that among the hundreds of schools, the kitchen that is forced to be at the bottom also has such a deep knowledge. ”
There is no end to learning!
Knowledge is infinite!
I'm afraid I'm going to drown in this endless ocean of knowledge!
