Chapter 56 Continuation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas
"Xiao Yi, how can you keep up?" Only then did Li You realize that Qin Yi's current appearance was very embarrassing. The feet were bare, I don't know if I lost my shoes halfway, or when I was sleeping, I suddenly heard his voice and ran out in a hurry, and I didn't even bother to put on my shoes.
Tracking and trekking all the way, the soles of Qin Yi's feet were already full of blisters, and the flesh and blood were even blurred in many places, which made Li You feel distressed for a while. The calf was also ground with thorns along the way, and there were many blood marks. Li You hugged Qin Yi and said, "Little girl, I'll be fine, I won't be like this in the future." ”
Qin Yi's clear eyes stared at Li You's frowning brow, first nodded, and then shook his head.
Li You could only smile bitterly. Although Qin Yi is young, he is very stubborn, and the things he decides cannot be changed by his words.
"Then you have to protect yourself first, and then think about how to protect me." Li You touched Qin Yi's hair, otherwise I would have taken care of you if I was injured, not you who protected me. ”
This sentence still has a certain effect. Qin Yi looked at his feet, and his brows slowly gathered. After a long moment, he nodded slowly.
After entering the cave, Li Qi seemed to be gone, Li You groped around for a while, and finally found a small flashlight from his body, opened the ring and swept it twice, only to find that Li Qi had stuck his entire figure on a wall, standing motionless, as if he was one with the stone wall.
Qin Yi was a little nervous when he saw this scene, but Li You didn't see anything famous. Or maybe it's a zombie's way of resting. Li You's interests are all elsewhere.
This cave is not small. Although it looks cramped on the outside, the space inside is more than 100 square meters. There's even a stone bed. The stone bed is carved directly, and one side is connected to the mountain wall.
In addition to this, there is a stone table and stone bench. There are also some bamboo slips on the stone table, as well as a few books that look relatively intact.
Li You is most interested in this kind of thing. Because he knows that the written record can retain a lot of information. Li You was very interested in the original owner of the cave. He even guessed that the original owner of the cave was probably the mysterious person.
After putting Qin Yi on the stone bench and sitting down, Li You cleaned the wounds on her home before walking to the desk. Li You picked up the top book, glanced at it, and frowned slightly.
"Heavenly Machine"...... The author is...... It turned out to be Ge Hong......" Li You picked up the first book, looked at the broken book title, and felt bad about the whole person. He knows Ge Hong, but Ge Hong doesn't know which one it is, but the title of "Tianjiyan" seems to be much taller than Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi"?
Li You didn't immediately open the scroll to see what was inside, he carefully put "Tianji Yan" aside, and picked up another copy.
"Continuation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas"...... The author is...... Li Jie! The corners of Li You's mouth twitched, this time, he couldn't calm down.
Ge Hong can be a copycat of Ge Hong, a legendary Taoist immortal, but what is Li Jie?
Li You was very curious and resentful of the book "Ten Methods of Secret Storage" signed by Professor Qi to him.
And the most important thing is that whether the "Ten Laws of the Secret Collection" is written by Li Jie is debatable, but it is clearly recorded in history that Li Jie did write the book "Continuation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas". It is a pity that the book has not survived. It seems to have been lost in the Song Dynasty.
Could it be that the lost "Continuation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" will appear in this mountainous place? Li You shook his head, looking incredulous.
Li You has read the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". This strange book of the pre-Qin era has the most magnificent content, covering many fields, and it is also the most recorded record of ancient myths and legends. There are countless strange creatures and plants in it, and the geographical area covered is even more vast. Moreover, in the research of later generations, some of these records are absurd, but some of them can be proved by historical facts. In this way, it is difficult for the world to discern how much of the content in this strange book is true or false.
Studying the truth and falsity of the content in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the work of experts and scholars, and Li You is not interested in it. But he knew very well that even if the creatures, plants, and all kinds of other things in it were fictional, it would be very remarkable. Because Li You, who is highly educated, knows better that it is very difficult to make up something that does not exist at all, and make others believe it. But many of the things described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are not easy for ordinary people to see.
Because of this, he was very surprised when he saw Li Jie's "Continuation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas". The height of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is already there, and Li Jie dares to continue to write, and it is absolutely impossible to play with a few brushes.
Li You's full attention was attracted by the books on the stone table, while Qin Yi was sitting on the stone bench bored, at first she was still staring at Li Qi vigilantly, but Li Qi seemed to be connected with the stone, and she didn't move for a long time, and over time, she also let down her vigilance and shifted her attention to Li You.
At this time, Li You put all his attention on the "Continuation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" in his hand.
Turning the pages of the book, Li You's heartbeat began to beat non-stop. He hadn't noticed the contents of the book, but the handwriting that caught his eye made his hand tremble.
These handwriting are almost the same as those on the "Ten Methods of Secret Collection" that Professor Qi gave him. After a few hurried glances, Li You could basically determine whether the "Ten Methods of the Secret Collection" and "The Continuation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" were really written by Li Jie, but the authors of the two books in his hand could be determined to be the same person. Or it was transcribed by the same person.
But Li You knows very well that the ancients are not quite the same as today's people. The ancients did not write books for money. Most people are for fame, most of these are poems and songs, and a small part of the works are for posterity, which are probably technical processes, or feng shui, folk secret arts, and so on.
The Ten Laws of the Secret Treasure and the Continuation of the Classic of Mountains and Seas both belong to the latter. Therefore, the scope of circulation is very small, and even it has not spread in the world at all, just like the "Ten Methods of the Secret Collection".
In other words, it is unlikely that these two books with the same handwriting were written by transcribers, but it is more likely that they were written by the original authors. It's just that Li You is not easy to accept that the author is Li Jie, and he prefers that these two books are written under the pretense. But then again, Li Jie was a technical official with little status in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he couldn't mix up the biography in the history of the Song Dynasty, and he was not a famous feng shui master in his life.
