136, Weirdo (Thank you, 丨 Ji's 10,000 points of reward)
The library building of King Teng's mansion is heavily guarded, and outside the small attic, there are guards who are constantly walking back and forth to patrol. However, with King Teng's face-to-face orders, these guards naturally let Tan Mo go, and after King Teng left, one of the captains of the guards came out and said flatteringly: "What does the little master need, just tell us to do it." ”
"Thank you."
Tan Mo thanked him, and his eyes turned to the attic.
There are 3,000 books in the world, and half of them are here.
These words were said by the princess to the little princess, whether it was an exaggeration or not, Tan Mo is not clear, but the number of books in the library building is visible.
As far as the eye can see, there are books in this room besides books.
The last time I came here, I came with the little county lord, and it was also that time I came to the library and read a eunuch book, which attracted the attention of the mysterious existence, and then I got the painting skin.
"I wonder when the little county lord will come back?" Tan Mo couldn't help but think of this.
The little county lord is back, so he has a chance to get the demon slayer staff in his hand again. This is also the reason why he specifically asked Bao'er before.
Think about how much King Teng is laid, he won't play tricks on the little county lord, right?
Immediately, Tan Mo picked up a book and quickly read it.
There were only three days to read books in this library, and during these three days, he had to hurry up and read more books.
This place is rich in books, and the classics of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are all in the building. In addition to these classics, there are also some mountain and wild anecdotes. This kind of book is compiled and sorted out by later generations. Among them, there are two exceptions, and those two are alternative autobiographies of two practitioners in practice.
In these two books, there is a delicate record of some bizarre and strange things that these two practitioners encountered when they traveled around and practiced.
Tan Mo has already read one book, and he is reading the second book at this time.
Through these two alternative autobiographies, Tan Mo's horizons have greatly increased, and he knows that in this spiritual world, there are some people who like to explore and travel. After these people have achieved cultivation, they stop practicing, and when they hear about something strange and strange, they rush over. If you are lucky, you will not be in danger, and if you are unlucky, you will be sent to the door to add food to the demons.
Because the risk is too great, from time to time, someone disappears in some strange place, and life and death are unknown, so these people have the habit of keeping a diary.
A diary is a lifelong achievement.
The two books that Tan Mo read, the owner of the first one, recorded that he was thirty-five years old. The owner of the second book remembered that he was fifty-three years old.
Undoubtedly, the owners of these two books will live a little longer.
Turning the page of the book and looking at it a few times, Tan Mo suddenly raised his eyebrows.
This page tells the story of the book's owner, who travels to a strange village. This village is just an ordinary mortal cottage, but every night, there is a strange person will appear in the village, this strange person dresses strangely, and behaves strangely, the people in the village ignored this strange person at first, until the two scoundrels in the village killed this strange man, and the next night, this strange man appeared in the stockade again, and then killed these two scoundrels.
The two scoundrels were killed, and the relatives did not help, so the people in the stockade killed the stranger.
However, another day passed, and the weirdos reappeared.
Then, the weirdo began to take revenge on the people in this stockade in a frenzy.
The people in the stockade have a grudge against this strange man. In order to kill the strange man, the people in the village used various methods, such as breaking the corpse into thousands of pieces, breaking the bones and scattering ashes, etc., but this strange man, who died that night, will still be resurrected and reappear the next night, which is inexplicably terrifying.
The owner of this diary, who had only been in the stockade for three days, was afraid of being entangled by the strange man's anger, and after inquiring about the incident clearly, he left in a hurry.
Therefore, what happened to this strange village, whether it completely killed the strange man, and what the origin of the strange man was, there is no record in this book.
"What if this weirdo is actually projected in from someone from the outside world? The people in the stockade thought they had killed the strange man, but in fact they had killed only the shadow of the strange man. Tan Mo's eyes showed a different color, and he turned another page, wanting to see where this strange village was.
But after turning the page, Tan Mo found that there was another brand new story on this page.
The owner of this diary did not record the location of the stockade.
Tan Mo had no choice but to continue watching.
Soon, the book was finished, and at the end, the owner of the book wrote: Half a life of practice, half a life of travel, there are fright, there is joy, this time I suffered a catastrophe, in the catastrophe is difficult to escape, I have no regrets, Kou Jin stayed.
Putting the book down, Tan Mo's eyes were deflected, and he picked up another book and read it.
This time, it is a classic Confucian book.
Mencius.
Three days passed quickly, Tan Mo reluctantly came out of the library, three days of hard work, he only read a dozen books, not even a percent of the library.
If you want to finish reading it, it will take at least half a year.
However, not to mention asking King Teng to read a book for half a year, even if he reads a book for half a month, King Teng will directly refuse.
In this world, books are incomparably precious.
There was the art of printing, but the spread of books still relied on hand-copying. Because there are many books, which are only circulated in the hands of a very small number of people. Outsiders don't want to get a copy, but if they want to take a look, it's difficult!
Unless they have a very high status in the secular world, and under the opening of their mouths, these people cannot refuse, and they will be allowed to copy books.
Otherwise, there would be no lone book.
The predecessors of these lone books, without exception, were circulated in the hands of only a small number of people. Once a catastrophe occurs, this small number of people have an accident, then the books collected by these people will naturally have problems, even if they are okay at first, but with the passage of time, the geographical environment changes, or there will inevitably be problems, followed by mold, moisture, decay, etc.
In order to make King Teng agree, Tan Mo thought about it carefully before he opened his mouth and only read the book for three days.
At that time, for Tan Mo's request, King Teng first frowned, and hesitated for a moment before agreeing. It is conceivable that not to mention half a month, even five days, King Teng will not agree.
Three days is King Teng's psychological bottom line.
Walking out of the library building, before Tan Mo went back, a maid came over and said, "Little master, the prince said, if you read a good book, then go over." ”
"This donor, do you know that the prince has something to do with me?" Tan Mo asked strangely.
"This ......," the maid hesitated.
"Can't you say that?"
"It's not true, it's just that the maidservant doesn't know what to say." The maid replied.
