Chapter 218: Sunflower Treasure Book and Sword Library
>At the end of the secret passage, there is a golden door.
The Golden Gate is about five meters high, about four meters wide, magnificent, splendid, the door is carved with a golden dragon totem, giving people a solemn and noble feeling.
"This is the library?"
This golden gate is so extravagant that it looks more like the entrance to an underground palace.
Liu Xing did not rush forward, because there were more than a dozen white corpses lying horizontally at the door of the Golden Gate. With so many people dying outside of this golden door, there may be a device like a hidden weapon nearby.
Liu Xing's eyes swept around, except for a few long swords and scimitars on the ground, there seemed to be nothing unusual around.
He took a few steps forward, coming to a pile of white corpses, bones, and skeletons.
"Huh, what is this?"
At this time, Liu Xing found a thin silver needle on the skull of a corpse-bone, and the silver needle was inserted into the bone of the skull.
It seems to be an embroidery needle.
"How can there be embroidery needles in the corpses-bones? Could it be that these people died under the embroidery needles?"
With questions, Liu Xing carefully inspected several piles of corpses and bones beside him, and found more than two dozen embroidery needles from the corpses and bones, which were pierced in different parts of the corpses and bones.
Obviously, the dozen or so people were shot to death by embroidery needles.
"Looks like there's a hidden weapon here!
The secret passage is surrounded by stone walls, and there should be no hidden weapons installed, and the only suspicious location is the golden gate in front of you.
Stand up. Liu Xing walked lightly to the Golden Gate and put his hands on the door. Pushed forward.
The Golden Gate stood still.
Liu Xing secretly started "The Great Shift of the Universe", but he still couldn't make Kinmen move a bit. Kinmen is impregnable. It's impossible to push it away with your bare hands.
Just as Liu Xing was finishing his work, he suddenly found that there were two small gaps in the center of the Golden Gate, which were about 5 centimeters long and about the same size as the card slot of the bank ATM.
"Is this a coffin lock?"
Liu Xing's brows moved, the golden door seemed to be a coffin lock, and the two gaps in the center of the door were two keyholes. To open the Golden Gate, you need to find two keys to the coffin.
"Where's the coffin key?"
With a sweep of the afterglow, Liu Xing's attention was once again attracted by the long sword and scimitar that had fallen to the ground.
The width of the longsword scimitar is about the same as the width of the gap in the golden gate, could it be that the longsword and scimitar are the keys to the coffin?
"Try it!"
Bend down. Liu Xing picked up a long sword and a scimitar.
The body of the long sword is about 1 meter, and the word "day" is engraved on the sword grid;
The scimitar is shaped like a crescent moon, and the word "moon" is engraved on the knife grid.
Liu Xing first inserted the long sword into the gap on the left side of the Golden Gate, and then inserted the scimitar into the gap on the right side of the Golden Gate.
Airplanes!
At the moment when the sword was inserted, the golden gate in front of him suddenly made a strange sound and trembled slightly.
The sword and scimitar were indeed the keys to open the golden door.
Just as Liu Xing was secretly happy, suddenly, more than a dozen embroidery needles flew out from the golden gate.
Woohoo!
Liu Xing was already alert, and his figure flashed. Avoid it in time and land on the left side of the secret passage.
Before his feet could stand firmly, more than a dozen embroidery needles shot out, and Liu Xing did not dodge or dodge. The left palm slapped forward, and with a bang, a mountain of palm power burst out. Knock the silver needle directly out of mid-air.
Ding Ding Ding!
After a string of silver bells cracked, more than a dozen silver embroidery needles all fell to the ground.
Peace was restored in the secret passage.
Click!
Then. A crack suddenly appeared in the center of the golden gate, accompanied by the sound of machinery twisting. The door slowly opened to the sides, revealing a large entrance into view.
Behind the Golden Gate, there is a spacious underground chamber.
"The library is open!"
Tossed here, Liu Xing basically understood the situation.
When opening the golden gate with a long sword and a scimitar, there will be embroidery needles shot out. If you can't avoid it in time, you will definitely die.
The dozen or so corpses lying outside the Golden Gate should have been shot dead when the Golden Gate was opened.
Now that the Golden Gate has been opened, Liu Xing decided to go in to find out, and his figure flashed, and he quickly passed through the Golden Gate and entered the secret room.
Click!
As soon as Liu Xing landed, the Golden Gate was also closed.
"Oops!"
The golden gate had been locked again, and Liu Xing looked carefully behind the door for a while, but he couldn't find a way to open it.
He was trapped in this secret room.
"There should be an exit in the secret room, look for it. ”
Liu Xingyou looked around.
The secret room in front of me was extremely empty, like an underground stadium, and in the center of the secret room, there was a circular field.
On the left side of the field, there are two long rows of silver steel frames, on which more than a hundred swords are displayed!
There are many types of swords, including long swords, short swords, heavy swords, soft swords, iron swords, and wooden swords......
There are all kinds of swords in all shapes, and it is almost a small sword arsenal.
"How can there be such a sword in this secret room? Is this a sword training ground?"
Liu Xing walked to the sword stand and inspected a few swords, these swords were very exquisitely made, and they were all good swords of high quality.
And on the blades of all swords, the same word is engraved - [wind].
"What does the word 'wind' mean?"
Seeing the word wind, Liu Xing suddenly remembered a person - the old bookworm is full of wind.
Feng Manlou's surname is Feng, he not only knows the burial place of the library, but also seems to know martial arts, this secret room is likely to be related to Feng Manlou.
In other words, it has something to do with the Feng family.
"Huh?"
As soon as his eyes drifted, Liu Xing found that on the opposite side of the sword rack, there were two rows of bookshelves.
"What's on the shelf? Could it be a sword book?"
Liu Xing walked quickly to the bookshelf, and when he saw the title of the book on the first shelf, he was instantly dumbfounded.
There is a set of red books on the shelf, and there are four big characters written on the cover - "Sunflower Treasure Book"!
"Sunflower Treasure?"
Liu Xing is naturally no stranger to the "Sunflower Treasure Book", it is a peculiar martial art in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, Dongfang Undefeated, has practiced this skill.
"How can there be a Sunflower Book here?"
There are more than 30 volumes of the Sunflower Book on the shelves. Liu Xing took down the first volume and flipped through the first page. I saw a sentence written on the page - if you want to read this book, you need to go to the palace first.
Liu Xing ignored it. Read on.
After reading more than a dozen pages, he found that this "Sunflower Treasure Book" was not a martial arts secret book, but a set of theoretical books on reading techniques, which introduced a special set of reading techniques, called "Sunflower Reading Techniques".
This set of "Sunflower Reading Technique" is very peculiar, and the people it applies to are actually eunuchs in the palace, and to learn this set of reading techniques, the reader needs to go from the palace first.
Liu Xing took a look at the table of contents of this set of books, and the names of the catalogues were: "Preparation Before the Palace", "Precautions for the Palace", "Principles of the Palace", "Psychology of Eunuchs", "Theory of Dual Personality of Eunuchs", "Advantages of Eunuchs' Thinking", "Eunuchs and Reading Techniques", ......
In the first book. It is about some psychological theories about eunuchs and the palace.
Liu Xing checked the second volume again, and finally began to explain the principle of "Sunflower Reading".
The reading technique of Huaxia has a history of thousands of years, and there are many genres, and there are still many non-mainstream reading techniques among the people.
However, this set of "Sunflower Reading Technique" still opened Liu Xing's eyes, and he didn't expect that there were reading techniques specially designed for eunuchs in the world.
"What's the difference between this set of sunflower reading and normal reading?"
Out of curiosity, Liu Xing carefully read the relevant chapters in the book.
This set of sunflower reading techniques is supposed to be from the hands of reading masters, and the principles of reading are explained very thoroughly in the book. It not only introduces the fourfold realm of reading, but also explains the general outline of Ma Xingkong's meditation.
"I see!"
After reading the second volume, Liu Xing already roughly understood the principle of "Sunflower Reading Technique".
As we all know, reading is to reach the highest level of enlightenment. The reader is required to have both "divergent thinking" and "convergent thinking", both of which must reach the extreme, so as to form a perfect imagination.
The average person can't have two completely different minds at the same time. So it is difficult to succeed.
In Sunflower Reading, however, a shortcut to success is introduced. This shortcut is - from the palace!
When a man is in the womb, some subtle changes may occur in his heart. Possess some feminine traits. A small number of men will even think of themselves as women after the womb, which is equivalent to having sex reassignment surgery.
So, this is a very bizarre phenomenon.
In front of his own palace, he felt that he was a man, but after his own palace, he felt that he was a woman.
People like this, who are neither male nor female, have both the consciousness of a man and the consciousness of a woman in their bodies.
There is a difference between a man's mind and a woman's mind, and when two different minds are combined in the same body, a higher level of combined thinking can be formed.
This kind of advanced combinatorial thinking provides the possibility of entering the mind.
In Dr. Marr's "Theory of the Two Brains", it was mentioned that the most perfect combination of thinking is the combination of divergent thinking and convergent thinking, and this combination of thinking is called "god-level thinking" because it is the best choice for entering the mind.
The slightly worse combination of thinking is a combination of a man's mind and a woman's mind, which Dr. Marr calls "sub-god-level thinking", which is second only to "god-level thinking" and is the second choice for entering the gods.
A person like a eunuch, who is neither male nor female, may have the thinking characteristics of both a man and a woman.
Therefore, the principle of sunflower reading coincides with Dr. Marr's theory of "Two Brains".
It's just that this set of reading techniques is not achieved through the connection of the human brain, but by allowing men to carry out self-uterus, producing a dual personality that is neither male nor female.
Of course, not every man will have a dual personality of a man and a woman since the womb, and only a very small number of men are likely to succeed.
"Sunflower reading is really perverted, who invented such a frenzied reading technique?"
Liu Xing checked dozens of books on the shelves, and finally found the origin of sunflower reading in one book.
It turned out that the sunflower reading technique originated from the eunuchs of the imperial palace.
In the history of the Chinese Kingdom, many emperors were interested in reading, and a special institution for reading was set up in the palace, and a group of reading masters conducted related research.
More than 700 years ago, the palace masters of reading discovered a strange phenomenon, the palace eunuchs were better able to learn reading than ordinary people, and some eunuchs even had imagination beyond ordinary people.
Later, the master of reading studied the eunuch repeatedly, and finally came to the conclusion that the eunuch, who was neither male nor female, might have a dual personality and was the best person to learn reading.
As a result, a large number of eunuchs began to be recruited in the palace to conduct research on reading.
After about 70 years of exploration, a new set of reading techniques based on eunuchs was finally born in the palace, which became known as "Sunflower Reading".
The person in charge of this set of sunflower reading techniques is a civil official in the palace named Feng Chaoyang.
At that time, in order to personally experience the effect of this set of sunflower reading techniques, Feng Chaoyang took the initiative to swing a knife from the palace and became a eunuch. Feng Chaoyang's fearless spirit of exploration was highly appreciated by the emperor of the current dynasty.
It's a pity that later there was a coup d'état in the government and the opposition, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he listed the sunflower reading technique as a forbidden technique, believing that this technique violated the principles of heaven, and the eunuch Feng Chaoyang of the previous dynasty was directly put on death row.
Since then, the Sunflower Reading has disappeared from the palace, and as time went on, fewer and fewer people knew about it.
However, the descendants of Feng Chaoyang secretly kept the information on the sunflower reading technique.
Feng Chaoyang has already given birth to children in front of the palace, and his children and grandchildren have preserved the sunflower reading technique intact and passed it on from generation to generation.
Because the sunflower reading technique is unethical, the Feng family buried the reading books, and only the descendants of the Feng family know the burial location.
"Feng Jia?"
Seeing this, Liu Xing suddenly remembered, Feng Manlou should be the descendant of the Feng family, right?
The sunflower reading technique was invented by Feng Manlou's ancestors.
"Could it be that sunflower reading can also be fascinating?"
Liu Xing was a little curious, Feng Manlou's martial arts didn't seem to be bad, one person could subdue more than a dozen special policemen, could it be that the Feng family had ever successfully entered the gods?
These are just speculations, to know the truth, you can only find Feng Manlou to ask in person.
However, there is another question that makes Liu Xing even more puzzled, why is this set of sunflower reading techniques named "Sunflower Treasure Book"?
This name was taken by Feng Chaoyang, did Feng Chaoyang see the martial arts novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and was inspired, so he took the name "Sunflower Treasure Book"?
There were still about 3,000 books on the shelves in the secret room, and Liu Xing decided to find them.
In addition to the theoretical titles of Sunflower Reading, there are many novels on the shelves, some of which are transformational novels. This kind of transformation novel tells the story of a man becoming a woman, and in China, it is a forbidden book.
However, the transformation novel, which can cultivate a sense of both male and female consciousness, is a supplementary material for learning sunflower reading, and this type of novel was loved by eunuchs in the imperial palace hundreds of years ago.
"It's crazy, in order to read novels, there are really people who are willing to wield a knife from the palace and become a eunuch who is neither male nor female!"
Liu Xing was looking at the novels on the shelves.
Rustle!
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps, and the sound was getting closer and closer......
