Chapter 694: The Classic of Mountains and Seas
The next day, Shen Ying woke up in the quiet room, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Mark and two bear children sitting next to him.
"Wake up! He's awake!! ”
Xiao Yao shouted excitedly.
Mark also saw that his apprentice finally woke up and put his mind at ease, and Mark did not leave an inch all day when Shen Ying was in a coma.
"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up......"
Mark said with a smile and a nod.
"Master, I'm thirsty."
Shen Ying's voice was hoarse like a decades-old smoking voice, and his chapped lips were bloodless.
"Okay, okay, I'll pour you water."
Mark immediately brought a glass of water from the table to Shen Ying, and the Xuanwu Heavenly Master had instructed that if Shen Ying woke up, he would be fed some water, even if he was hungry, he would not be able to eat.
Shen Ying slowly drank the water in the cup, because he couldn't drink it quickly if he wanted to, and every time he swallowed, his throat would hurt as if it had been ground by sandpaper.
Forcibly drinking a glass of water, Shen Ying weakly wanted to sit up, but he couldn't lift any strength up and down his body, and tried several times without success.
"You lie down and don't move, you are very weak now, you can only lie down and recuperate, the Celestial Master said that you have to lie in bed for three days to recover, and you can only drink water and not eat anything during these three days."
When Mark saw that Shen Ying wanted to sit up, he immediately pressed him on the bed.
"Master, what should I do if I'm hungry after drinking only water?"
The voice was still hoarse and unpleasant, but it was better than before under the moisture of the glass of water just now.
"You can't eat when you're hungry, at most I'll add some honey to the water."
Mark said.
There was ready-made honey on the table, which was brought by the condensation cream when Xiao Yao came, saying that it could be added to the water for Shen Ying to drink together.
Shen Ying still wanted to protest again, but the pain in his throat made him unable to speak anymore, and he didn't want to speak, this kind of life would last for two days, Shen Ying felt uncomfortable thinking about it, and it was even worse than killing him to let the ADHD child not move.
And the other two bear children who also suffer from this disease can go out to wave casually, Yin Que is okay, there are people in Longhu Mountain who watch him cultivate, and Xiao Yao, a guy who doesn't need to cultivate, can completely let himself go.
After drinking some honey water, Shen Ying fell asleep with sleepiness, and Yin Que was also called away by Senior Brother Chongxu to practice, and Xiao Yao, who was extremely bored, went to the library to read again.
There's no way, it's boring to play alone, even if it's fun to play with him, it's boring, and what children need most is playmates.
A day passed quietly in silence, Xiao Yao read the book for a day, and he found a yellowed old book in the book pavilion, the paper was very thick to the touch, and it didn't look like paper.
The whole book is written in Lishu, and in the time of the payment, Xiao Yao saw that it was June of the third year of Han Jianwu, and on the cover of the book, the three words of the Book of Mountains and Seas were written in thick Lishu.
Xiao Yao immediately became excited, because he found the only copy of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which was a handwritten book of the Han Dynasty, and it may be the only one in the world.
As we all know, the Classic of Mountains and Seas has been lost, the earliest Classic of Mountains and Seas can be traced back to the Warring States Period, but the original version has long since disappeared with the long river of history, and today's Classic of Mountains and Seas are some of the fragmented versions that have been left behind or supplemented by later generations, and although this unique book in Xiao Yao's hand is not a publication of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it is also left over from the Han Dynasty, and its value is simply immeasurable.
Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master's Mansion originated in the Han Dynasty, thousands of years of history precipitation under the Shuge still always retain countless solitary books, and Longhu Mountain every time it experiences a catastrophe, the first thing to be preserved is the Book Pavilion, followed by the main hall of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
The teachings of the Heavenly Master of the past dynasties, the main hall of the Heavenly Master's Mansion can be poured, but the Book Pavilion will never allow anyone to infringe, because there are too many unique books in the collection, since the Han Dynasty, Longhu Mountain has made the Book Pavilion the top priority, as long as the Book Pavilion is not destroyed, the inheritance will not be broken, those worshiped gods are just mud tires, and they can be reshaped if they are destroyed, but the Book Pavilion is destroyed, the inheritance is broken, and the inheritance is broken, even if those statues are preserved, Dragon and Tiger Mountain is no longer Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
Xiao Yao looked at the Classic of Mountains and Seas for a whole day, and he didn't recognize many of the words in it, but this didn't prevent him from seeing it.
The literary literature of the Han Dynasty is much more complex than the current one, although Xiao Yao has read a lot of classics, but most of them are after the Tang Dynasty, and even many are after the Ming Dynasty, those articles are compared to this Book of Mountains and Seas, whether it is fonts or words and sentences, it is too much easier to understand, and this Book of Mountains and Seas is really obscure, Xiao Yao can't help but wonder why the ancients wrote such obscure articles while reading.
In fact, it is not that the ancient text is obscure, but that the emergence of the vernacular text has completely cut off people's understanding of the ancient text, and it can be said that the emergence of the vernacular text has completely ruined the ancient text.
It was already dinner time when they came out of the library, and one of the two disciples guarding the library had gone to eat, leaving only one disciple sitting at the door of the library and copying and practicing calligraphy while reading the book.
As an important place in Dragon and Tiger Mountain, why is there only two disciples guarding the Shuge?
Xiao Yao also thought this way when he first came to the Library, but Xuanfeng told him that now the Daomen are in the same spirit, there is no reason to fight with each other, and no one wants to destroy the Library, this is one of them, the second is that if it is peaceful today, there is no war, and there is no need to deliberately guard the Library.
After dinner, Xiao Yao and Yin Que came to Shen Ying's hut with nothing to do, and this quiet room directly became his room after treating Shen Ying.
Mark was not there at this time, and the three bear children were having fun in the house.
Shen Ying was lying on the bed, his complexion today was much better than yesterday, and he could sit up half-lying.
"Hey, I went to the library today, do you guess what I was looking for?"
Xiao Yao said mysteriously.
"What else can there be, Shubei, could it be a martial arts cheats?"
Yin Que didn't care at all, after cultivation, he already had a trace of true qi, which made him happy for I don't know how many days, even if he only had a trace of true qi that seemed to be nothing.
"Cut, it's the Book of Mountains and Seas of the Han Dynasty, and the monsters written in it don't know if it's true or not."
"What is the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
Shen Ying, as a child who should have lived since he was a child, naturally didn't know what the Classic of Mountains and Seas was, if it weren't for his parents and Mark insisting that he learn Chinese, it is estimated that he would only be able to speak English now.
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a very magical book, and some mountain spirits and monsters and some mountains and rivers recorded in it are true!"
Xuanfeng and Mark walked in together, and Xuanfeng heard the three bear children discussing the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so he spoke.
"Well, the Holy See also has relevant collections, and most of the things recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas are true, and the corresponding animals or plants can be found in the world, but there are also mythological renderings in it."
What Mark said is to the point, there are indeed some things in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that can be seen in real life.
Xuanfeng nodded and said, "Yes, the one Xiao Yao looked at should be the version of the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is unknown who wrote it." ”。
The two sat down, Mark wiped Shen Ying's face with a basin of water, and Xuanfeng waited for Yin Que, complaining that he didn't know that he was cultivating and running away with Xiao Yao all day long.
