Chapter 492: Exploring the Mysterious Pavilion (3)

In the sixth compartment, Chen Yi still saw rows of books, and a few were identified at random, most of them were still books from the Ming and Qing dynasties, but they were all more advanced Taoist classics.

In this regard, he was not too surprised, because the rare books of the Ming and Qing dynasties, whether in the market or in the museum, occupy a huge number, not only because of the difficulty of preserving ancient books, but also in the Sanqing Temple, there is a reason why the Longmen school has only begun to be inherited since the Yuan Dynasty, and other Taoist schools can leave behind, I am afraid that only a small number of classics are left.

Even if it is the collection of books in major museums, the earliest books are only engraved books during the Tang and Song dynasties, as for the Tang Dynasty, with the level of papermaking at that time, it is impossible to preserve the book paper to this day, of course, if it is a booklet such as a book sticker, it can be preserved, because it is written on rice paper and silk paper, and the difficulty of preservation is reduced a lot.

The earliest surviving engraving print is the Diamond Sutra printed in 868 AD, but it is now in the British Museum, which has to be said to be a great sadness.

Without having time to look more, Chen Yi followed the treasure search mouse all the way to the eighth compartment, the bookshelves in the eighth compartment were somewhat the same as the seventh compartment, the bookshelves were all with doors, just like a box, I saw this treasure search mouse climb up from under the bookshelf, and then beckoned to Chen Yi in front of a door.

Chen Yi walked over quickly and opened the door, seeing that it jumped directly onto one of the books on the shelf, then beckoned to him, and then turned into a little golden light and disappeared into the air.

Chen Yi slowly came to the front of the bookshelf where the treasure search mouse stayed, he didn't expect that the treasure search mouse that this primary treasure search technique had transformed into a treasure search mouse, but to find the treasure was to run to this eighth compartment, behind this eighth compartment, there was a stone wall, in which, there was a stone door, there was no modern explosives. If you want to open it by manpower, it is simply wishful thinking, and if explosives are used, it is estimated that some of the books in the back will also be wiped out.

He put on a white glove, which was given to him by the Taoist priest who was waiting there when he entered the seventh compartment. He also told him that the rare books in the two back compartments were very precious, and asked him to wear gloves and read them carefully.

The cover of the book found by the treasure hunt mouse looks very bright, it is a painted text, and some patterns of Taoist life are drawn on it. There are also many cases where people come to worship God and ask for signs.

Although the size of the whole cover is almost the same as that of a book, the landscape, people, livestock, flowers and trees, and furnishings on it are thoughtful, and its painting skills are very high.

It's just that there is no text written on the cover. However, there is a pattern on this, Chen Yi happened to see it in a Taoist book he had watched before, it was the Arctic Zhenwu Emperor, whose sitting statue sat in the view, wearing stomped feet, golden armor and robes, stepping on snakes and turtles, and all the true monarchs had their own law enforcement weapons.

Emperor Zhenwu is also known as the God of Xuantian. Xuanwu Emperor, Immeasurable Patriarch, etc., the full name is Zhenwu Demon Emperor, is the god of the north in Chinese mythology and legend, after the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di carried out a coup d'état and seized the throne. Legend has it that throughout the coup d'état of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Emperor Zhenwu had appeared to help, therefore. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, Feng Zhenwu was born in the north pole town of Tianzhen Wu Xuantian, and built a large-scale palace and temple of Wudang Temple, so that the belief of Zhenwu Emperor reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said that it had a great influence in China.

In the legend, Xuanwu is the body of the turtle and snake, representing the intersection of yin and yang, and because of the life span of the turtle, it has become the god of life, dominating the life, old age, sickness and death of people.

Based on the pattern on it, as well as the characteristics of Emperor Zhenwu, Chen Yi felt that this should be a book about spiritual signs.

Chen Yi couldn't help but appraise it, and smiled slightly, which was similar to what he guessed, this is a book of induction spirit signs, and its value evaluation has reached a high value, it has exceeded one million, and it is a work of the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that this book should be the most valuable thing within 50 meters of the vicinity, within 500 years ago.

Chen Yi opened it and looked at it, it was not about unsigning, but about some poems about spiritual signs, presumably teaching people to make zuò spiritual signs or books that let people know the content of spiritual signs.

There are poems on it, such as sickness, pedestrians, official affairs, marriages, family homes, etc., which seem to be extremely neat, and some of them have not been handed down.

In ancient times, worshipping God and asking for a sign can be said to be a common thing for many people, and once something is unclear, they will go to worship God or Buddha to seek answers.

After looking at it carefully, Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh a little, the profundity of Taoist culture makes people respectful.

After flipping through it, Chen Yi put it away and raised his head, the bookshelves of the eighth compartment and the seventh compartment were already very different from the previous ones, as if for better preservation, they all used bookshelves with doors, which stored ancient books one by one, and some of them looked broken.

Due to the limitation of the number of pages of ancient books, it is not possible to make too heavy books like now, so basically a set of books is more than a dozen or even dozens of books.

Like the Yongle Canon of the Ming Dynasty, the whole book has a total of more than 20,000 volumes, and its number of volumes has reached more than 10,000 volumes, about 370 million words, it is a Chinese encyclopedic literature collection, but the original Yongle has not yet determined where it is stored, and the Yongle copy has suffered a catastrophe, most of them died in the war, less than 800 volumes exist, and only 12% have been handed down, which can be said to be another huge loss of Chinese culture.

In several of the bookcases, Chen Yi looked at the stacks of books inside, and a stunned look appeared on his face, and on the top of each set of books, the age and the name of the book were written.

And the date written in these bookcases is the Song Dynasty, and the Song version of the book, the precious Cheng dù, is already a well-known thing.

The engraving and printing industry was very prosperous in the Song Dynasty, creating conditions for the wide circulation and popularization of books, the Song edition of the book engraving can be described as excellence, the writing font is also very neat, and the handwriting is very rare, and the people of the world mostly take the Song version of the book as the precious, or study, or show wealth, or cherish it, or worship it.

Many have said that the most expensive books in the world are not gold leaf, silver leaf, or even jewel-encrusted prints, but the famous Song edition of the Chinese Song Dynasty, a rare edition that can almost be described as priceless.

As early as the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Song edition of the book has become a treasure that major collectors are vying to buy, with a page of the Song edition, a tael of gold said, Chen Yi slowly came back to his senses, with an exclamation on his face, with the information he has understood, the current Song edition of the book is still priced by page, the reserve price of each page is at least 10,000 yuan, and a 56-page Song edition of the book, at least more than one million.

He didn't know how many of these Song books were in front of him, but he knew that what he had entered was not just a library, but a huge treasure.

The Song version of the book can be passed down to the present, in addition to the Buddhist scriptures, there is only this Taoist classic, and it is precisely because the Taoist temples and monasteries are very few opportunities to be affected by the war, so that these precious books can be preserved.

Chen Yi looked at it roughly, and then slowly closed the door, this Song version of the book is extremely precious, if he takes it out, the Enlightenment Daoist may agree, but he will not do it.

It is a great trust in him that he can agree to enter the eight compartments, which is a library, a treasure, and an ocean of knowledge, through the observation and study of ancient books of various dynasties, to learn more knowledge, improve his eyesight, and enrich his knowledge.

With so many books of all generations, this is something that is impossible to do with Gao Cunzhi.

It seems that in this eighth compartment, there should be hundreds of thousands, millions of things, a Song version of the book is very precious, a set of Song version of the book, the value is simply incalculable.

Chen Yi did not continue to use the treasure search technique, but kept watching in this last compartment, where the bookshelves were bookcase-shaped, and some were composed of small compartments like the cabinets where paintings and calligraphy were stored in Yuan's house in Lingzhou.

Each grid is stored in a painting and calligraphy work, which seems to have several bookshelves, and the number of calligraphy and painting works stored is very large.

Qingcheng Mountain has always been a place where famous literati of all generations have come and gone, and many of them have left some poems and songs, and even calligraphy and paintings.

Chen Yi slowly came to the bookshelf, and every compartment was pasted with fonts, so that people could know at a glance what items were stored inside.

In the first row of the bookshelf, Chen Yi has Zhang Daqian's name, and in addition, the names of some paintings are written on it.

After a little look, he stopped in front of the compartment of a hidden picture of Qingcheng, and slowly opened it, and a framed painting was stored inside, and when it was opened, there was a smell of ink.

Chen Yi gently took the painting in the middle, and then slowly opened it, only to see a person walking slowly in a place where mountains and rocks stand, except for the mountains and rocks, no one remained, which looked quite a bit hidden.

After looking at the painting roughly, he continued to return the painting to its original position, today is just the first time, not ready, tomorrow when he watches, he will be ready to fight, with so many ancient books and paintings, how can he still be idle every day.

Slowly watching and walking in front of the bookshelf, he suddenly saw a note, Chen Yi stopped suddenly, and saw that it was written on it a copy of the Tang Dynasty Huang Tingjing, and in addition, there was no author's name, which made him a little strange, could it be that an anonymous person could not do it.

Some paintings and calligraphy are anonymous because the author has not signed them, and there is no clue about the author on them.
