Chapter 230: The Gift of the Seniors
I have to say that my predecessor who travels through is really unique. In front of the world, he is a great Confucian in the world, and he has single-handedly promoted the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty literary circle, and in such a world where martial artists are in power, he has opened up a road to heaven for scholars.
But behind his back, he was unbelievable, standing on the shadow wall to scold the emperor, leaving heirlooms to fool his descendants, which is completely different from his image of Confucianism. But the inexplicable Tang Jin could understand the reason why the other party did this.
As a person from another world, no matter how well you mix here, you will eventually have a sense of alienation, and no matter how well you adapt, you will not be able to fully integrate into this world. The erection of the shadow wall and the letter to the family look absurd, ridiculous, and even a little naΓ―ve, but this is a way to express the loneliness and alienation in my heart.
101, 2008, 996, three strings of numbers were slowly entered into the lock, and the three iron locks that had been sealed for decades were opened one by one, different from Tang Jin's calmness, Shen Kuo on the side had already widened his eyes at this time, and watched in disbelief as Tang Jin put the three locks aside in turn.
"This ...... This...... Your Royal Highness...... Can you really understand it? Although the facts were right in front of him, Shen Kuo asked in disbelief.
Tang Jin glanced at him and looked at the lock on the table, "Isn't this obvious?" Can't understand, how do I open the lock? β
After speaking, he looked at the box in front of him, then looked at Shen Kuo, turned the box towards Shen Kuo and said, "Since it is a relic of Lord Shen, it is better to open it by Shen Guogong." β
Shen Kuo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and instinctively took a step forward, but as if he remembered something, he shook his head, "Father said that grandpa had ancestral training before his death, if someone opened this box, it should be checked by the person who opened it, and then decided whether to show it to us, the descendants of the Shen family must not be forced, otherwise they will be expelled from the Shen family and will never be allowed to return to the clan, and Shen is better to follow the ancestral teachings." β
Tang Jin was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a smile like this. The reason why he laughed was not because he doubted what the other party said about the ancestral training, according to his silent character and all that he had done, it was not difficult for Tang Jin to guess that all that the other party had done was paving the way for future generations, and it should not be surprising to leave such an ancestral training. Tang Jin only laughed because of Shen Kuo's actions, judging from his behavior just now when he stepped forward without hesitation, where did he have the slightest intention of taking Zu Xun to heart? I just couldn't help it, I guess I just thought of Tang Jin's identity, although I could temporarily fool him today, but if Tang Jin accidentally found out that day, then their Guogong Mansion would be miserable.
Anyway, Tang Jin doesn't need to expose others, since everyone has said let him watch it first, then Tang Jin is not too lazy to be hypocritical. One opened the steel box
, I saw that it was divided into two layers with a partition, what is below can not be seen, but the things on it are quite simple, two envelopes placed side by side, one is written "The unboxer personally opened, please check first" and the other is "Shen descendants personally opened"
Tang Jin was naturally not polite, the master picked up the first letter, unfolded it and read it, and as expected, this letter was "bilingual" in pinyin and English.
"Hello, the buddy who saw this letter may also be a young lady, but whether you are a man or a woman, being able to see and understand this letter means that you are a traverser like me. I can't guarantee that we are from the same world, after all, parallel universes exist, but I think the gap between the two worlds should not be very big if you can open the chest.
Well, I'll admit, I don't know what to say, the above is pure nonsense and awkward chatter. In that case, let's talk about me. The day I crossed over was on May 10, 2020, because I was a journalism major and worked for a well-known media in China...... We had a nuclear explosion, yes, based on my self-taught expertise, I was sure which light I saw was a nuclear explosion, and then I came here in a daze, and became an ordinary poor boy called Silence. As for the later story, you must also know it, relying on plagiarism of poetry, I mixed into the literary world, mixed into the officialdom, and finally piggybacked on the whole reform, I have to say that their official system and examination system here are really backward.
Well, I don't have much more to say, after all, I don't know what kind of person you are, I wish you could come a little earlier, at least have someone to talk to, but now we can only meet in this way.
So in the end, strangers, traversers, as a senior, I naturally have to leave you some gifts. This first gift is my family. I asked the emperor for a holy decree back then, and put it in the box, as long as you sign the holy decree, you are the contemporary head of the Shen family, and anyone who dares to disobey will be beheaded for disobedience. This second gift is for you, and it is also for my children and grandchildren, because I don't know how long it will take for this box to be opened after I leave, in case the time is very long, the Shen family has declined, you can rely on this second gift to make a comeback, you can't say that you can do it above 10,000 people under one person, at least you can ensure that you eat and drink for a lifetime.
So let's write this, juniors, come on, work hard to live, don't embarrass our army of traversers! - The Book of Silence"
A letter is not long, but Tang Jin reads it very slowly. Although there has been a gap of decades between him and the owner of the letter, Tang Jin can see the smile on the other party's face when he writes the letter through the lines
and the sadness that can't be dissolved in the corners of his eyes. Alone in a foreign land as a stranger...... Who can imagine this loneliness?
Of course, in addition to these, Tang Jin also discovered one thing. He originally thought that Shen Mo would cross earlier than himself, but in fact he was on the same day as himself, and even crossed in the same way. That's right, judging from the time and place that the other party said, the nuclear explosion was made up by himself.
"So, crossing at the same time, but not arriving at the same time? It seems that the crossing is not an overnight thing, and there seems to be a lot of delay in the middle. Tang Jin thought like this, and couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he is an orphan and has nothing to worry about, if other traversers are bent on going back, they are suddenly told that hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and they will collapse at least and die at worst.
Thinking like this, Tang Jinyou silently glanced at the letter in his hand, and muttered: "Fortunately, there is a time difference, otherwise if we really come together, he will have to find me desperately at that time, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have come here." β
Thinking like this, Tang Jin's movements in his hand did not stop, and he handed another letter to Shen Kuo on the side, and Tang Jin opened the compartment by himself.
There are two camphor boxes under the compartment, one large and one small, and the small one has a dragon pattern on it, which must be the holy decree that the other party said, and the big one is about the size of a human head, and it is quite heavy to start, and it seems to be full of things.
"I don't know what treasure the other party left behind, but I dare to say that I can guarantee that I can eat and drink without worry." Although Tang Jin did not lack this money, he still carried it out driven by curiosity, and then slowly opened the lid of the box, and then ...... And he was completely petrified in his place.
Shen ...... Lord Shen...... You really plan to take the profession of copyist to the black. Tang Jin muttered to himself with a bitter face.
I saw that in the box, there were a bunch of nailed manuscripts neatly stacked, and the names were specially noted on the manuscripts, "......Journey to the West", "Dream of Red Mansions", "Outline of the Story of Dream of Red Mansions", "Outline of the Story of Breaking the Sky", "Outline of the Story of Douluo Continent"
Well, Tang Jin understood what the other party meant, simply put, he bought books, wrote them with these general outlines, and then sold them. In this world of lack of entertainment activities, these entertainment specialists can definitely become popular all over the country in an instant once they are released, and Datang has a complete copyright protection law under the silent efforts, so there is no need to worry about piracy at all. In a sense, relying on these can indeed be a lifetime without worrying about eating and drinking, but ...... This is different from what Tang Jin imagined! What kind of magic secrets will the predecessors of the traversers leave behind, and what kind of treasure map will they leave behind, what is a bunch of outlines? If you really want to make money, I'll use you? I've memorized the whole book, okay?
