Volume 5, The Three Realms of the Stars and the Moon_Chapter 32, Computer
I don't know if it's a convention, but the rich and powerful, especially the big families with a long historical background, like to hang photos at home, and these photos are usually people who have made great contributions to the family.
The walls of Ashiya's house are lined with various photographs, all of which are portraits of people, and the first few are even portraits. One of them is the famous photo of Michimitsu Ashiya, who is considered one of the greatest evildoers in the legend of Onmyoji, but in fact he has made great contributions to Onmyoji, Onmyoryo and the entire Japanese supernatural circle. To put it bluntly, the reason why he has become a character that everyone shouts about now is because he finally failed in the struggle with Abe Harumi, and he has fallen to the current result. To put it bluntly, it is still the loser of the struggle.
I'm not very interested in Ashiya Michimitsu, his story is true or false, I've heard a lot of various versions, and the photo of Ashiya Michiman is just like an ordinary Japanese, if it weren't for the onmyoji's robe, he would be no different from the uncle on the road. So I skimmed through his photos, and what really caught my eye was a picture of a woman.
In a place like Japan, which used to be patriarchal, there is a picture of a woman in a row of photos full of men in the Ashiya family. And it looks like it's a close-up photo, which surprised me.
I walked over and took a look, it was a woman with short hair, taking a photo of her upper body, or a color photo wearing a pink Japanese kimono, judging by the pattern on the neckline, it should be trimmed with gold. The makeup is not very thick, the age in the photo is about 30 years old, she is a very beautiful woman, but her eyes are full of wisdom, even through the photo, you can feel the wisdom and light released in those eyes. Even though it was just a photo, I felt like I was looking at her in person, and there was a light in my eyes.
"Ba Xiaoshan, I've taken care of it, the formalities are a little troublesome." At this moment, Yoshiko Ashiya's voice came, "Are you looking at a picture of our house?" ”
"Who is this woman?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, she is a big figure in our Ashiya family's separation, and she is also a high-level member of Yinyangliao ten years ago, although she is a person who separates her family, she is not actually the heir of our Ashiya family, but she married into the division of our Ashiya family, and it is said that it was a marriage relationship at that time. But then it was rare, and I remember her name was Junko Kiryome. "Obviously, this is a woman that Yoshiko Ashiya doesn't remember deeply, a woman who once had a very important position in the Yinyang Liao but now disappears.
"Oh, I'm just curious, there's a picture of one of her women hanging in this row of photos." I nodded.
"That's because she is the best of the female onmyoji, and she used to be the minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Onmyoliao. It can almost be said that he is the person with the highest status in the Yin-Yang Liao, and he is the idol of many female onmyoji. You must know that even in a large Onmyoji family like our Ashiya family, there are only five or six male Onmyoji who can achieve the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs. ”
"Oh? That's your idol too? I asked.
"Me? No, I'm not here...... That's a good idiom. ”
"Hehe, no, take me in." The small talk ended here, and it was still important to get down to business, and I followed Yoshiko Ashiya to prepare to enter the data room, but I felt something in my heart, and I couldn't help but look back at the photo of Junko Kiroyo. This mysterious woman seems to have something to do with my fate.
When I followed her into the room, I saw not the huge collection of books in the traditional database, but more than a dozen computers in operation. After 2000, the era entered the digital, all the data were stored in the small hard disk of the computer, in fact, Americans began to use computers in the 80s, and computers began to enter the office field in the 90s, and typewriters and handwritten materials began to be eliminated. By the 2,000 years, computers were used for basic work.
"All of our data is stored in our encrypted servers, and every computer is connected to an internal network, and this year alone we have spent a lot of money on maintaining and reinforcing our passwords. So, there are no books here, only computers. You can access the information on your computer, and I just applied for your temporary access. As she spoke, she led me to one of the computers.
In fact, the 507 Institute also uses computers, of course, it is not as systematic as the Ashiya family, but the original pavilion has not even entered a single computer. Old man Tao once mentioned this when he was still alive, and he said that the main reason for not using computers was that he had to come into contact with a lot of people when building computers and entering so many files. According to the consistent practice of the 507 Institute, if so many confidential documents, historical materials, and precious codex cheats are read by many people, they will definitely erase their memories, and they may even adopt some irregular means. So in order to circumvent this, he suggested to Sha Lao that it would be better for the precious ancient scroll cheats to be kept by a special person.
I looked at the boxy computer screen like a TV in front of me and was dumbfounded, I only can operate a few household appliances in my life, and the computer in the nineties cost tens of thousands of dollars, and it was not convenient to carry around at that time, I was reluctant to buy.
"If you need to call me if you need anything, I still have a paper to write, so I'll go out." After saying that, she left the room, I sat in front of the computer, looked around, and several office staff were also using the computer, only to hear a series of typing sounds of "Da ......", and it looked quite smooth.
I tapped on the keyboard and mouse, and smiled bitterly, I haven't used a computer much in my mother's mind, to be precise, I've played the Xiaobawang game console, but I really don't understand the advanced stuff like a computer.
"That...... What do I need to get in? I tried to ask the person next to me, but I had only been learning for a few days, and the person next to me couldn't understand the broken Japanese, and several staff members were also doing things on their own with cold faces.
I'm cross-legged, I don't know how to use a computer, and I can't seem to ask anyone around me for help. Yoshiko Ashiya, this chick is sure to be, but can I pull down my face and beg her? If she knows, won't she laugh at me? But the information is in front of me, I don't know how to use it, and even the keyboard is typing out in Japanese, and I can't write Japanese very well, let alone type Japanese.
"Hehe, I'm a master who can climb the Immortal Mountain to catch monsters and kill monsters, and I can go into the deep sea to subdue demons and slay dragons, and I can still be stumped by a small computer? Isn't it just a computer? Lao Tzu is so smart and groping and groping, can't he do it? Thinking so in my heart, I had the courage to press it on the keyboard casually, holding the mouse and clicking it randomly, but in less than a quarter of an hour, the computer suddenly jumped a few times and then went black!
This time, I was completely confused!
"What's going on?" I muttered to myself, and just then, Yoshiko Ashiya walked in from behind, saw me, and said, "I have a book left here." Well? ”
She picked up the book next to her and was about to leave, but she saw that the screen in front of me was black, and immediately walked over strangely, and after a few tinkering sessions, the computer came back on.
"Why did you turn it off?" She asked curiously.
"Shut down? Off, I'm off? I asked, confused.
"yes, wait...... You won't be ...... Never used a computer, right? She looked at me in surprise and immediately burst out laughing when she saw that I didn't deny it, "You really haven't used a computer before?" Haha......"
"What's so funny? This thing is a rarity in our country, I was born after the 60s, and it is normal not to know this thing. I'm almost forty now, and I don't usually need this thing for work, of course I don't. I tried to defend myself, but my face turned red as I spoke.
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you, I used to ask people when I didn't know how to use it, so let's do it, I'll teach you." This little girl is so kind to teach me? I thought I had heard it wrong, and I felt that this little girl was too polite to me.
"You're going to teach me? So kind? I asked, suspiciously.
"What? No? Forget it, I'll go write my thesis. She pretended to leave, and I hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I really can't, you have to teach me." ”
