Chapter 200: The Bronze Book
Lamba was stunned for a long time, and kowtowed respectfully to me, "Lamba is ignorant and disturbs the mage, please forgive me." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
I bowed my head, "Get up." ”
Lamba stood up obediently this time, gave me a deep salute and said, "Master, excuse me, it's getting late, you can rest, I'll come back another day." ”
I nodded, and he stepped back to get out of the hall. When he arrived at the door, the moment he turned around and went out, his collapsed shoulders and shorter figure inexplicably made people feel extremely lonely and sad.
I couldn't help but feel compassion and stopped him, "Wizard Ramba, please bring some books when you come another day, I'm still illiterate and blind." If you have time, please read it to me. ”
The man at the door immediately felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, and his whole body was filled with strength, and he said loudly with passion in a voice full of joy: "Eh! After saying that, he happily went out of the door, and walked away with brisk steps.
Hey, this Ramba, I thought he was quite old before, how could he be so childish?
As soon as lunch was over the next day, Lamba came over with a red lacquered wooden box. I watched curiously as he knelt on the carpet, solemnly placed the box on the table, and then looked at me with a sense of invitation.
Seeing that I didn't speak, I pressed it in the middle of the side of the lid, and the lid clicked open. Lamba looked at me with a smile again, and then took out a rectangular object wrapped in red silk from inside.
He carefully placed his things on the desk and opened the silk piece by piece. When I could see what was inside, my breath stopped.
It's just shocking! This is a copper book!
I remember that copper only became popular in my time. At that time, it was only a hundred years to master the smelting technology of copper, why did the ancient Shu Kingdom thousands of years ago not only have copper, but also the smelting technology is so high? Moreover, judging from this color, this purity is probably much higher than that of my time!
I couldn't take my eyes off the book, like looking at a rare treasure.
In front of me, the copper sheets were stacked into a stack, with two holes on the left side, and two copper rings were used to ring and fix the book, and a page full of text was engraved on the sheets.
I turned the page, and the sheet was so flexible that it could bend! And the concave yin engraving on the back becomes the yang of the convex page, as is the case on every page.
The edges of the flakes are extremely slippery, and there is no roughness at all when you touch them.
This process, this material, is simply ingenious!
I caressed the pages of the book, and I couldn't put it down.
I don't know how long it took before I barely looked away, only to meet Shang Lamba's passionate eyes, "I knew you would like it." ”
I hesitated, but nodded honestly.
It seems that this Lamba is much smarter than the King of Shu and knows what he likes.
I gestured to the book, "Please." ”
Lamba smiled and tried to pick up the book and read it to me, but I stopped him by holding it down with one hand. "Just put it on it and point it out to me, word by word."
Lamba was a little puzzled and stunned, but he didn't take it to heart and did as I said.
The book nearly half a foot thick was read for nearly an hour. I stared at the unfamiliar words with a good eye and memorized them one by one.
It turns out that this is a code of Shu State, and the content of the code is quite complete and detailed, from the litigation procedures to the punishment rules, it is clearly and clearly, and even the sentencing standards for theft conviction are included.
Lamba kept reading for so long that his voice was a little hoarse. I poured him a bowl of tea, and he drank it all in a few sips. I poured him another bowl, and he took a few more sips, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master, this law is the most difficult to master, you have heard so much in this breath, you will definitely not be able to digest it, if you are interested, I will tell you one by one when I go back."
I laughed and said, "Thank you, no need."
"Huh? What, what?"
Lamba paused the tea bowl that was being sent to his mouth in surprise, "Master, are you dissatisfied that I didn't read it well just now?" Then I'll read it to you from the beginning. ”
He put down the tea bowl and went to reach the book, so I hurriedly pressed my hand on the book and said, "No, you read very well, but you don't need it."
He looked at me puzzled, and I smiled and explained, "I've memorized it all, so I don't need it."
Lamba was stunned and shouted, "I don't believe it, how is this possible?"
I took my hand away, pointed to the book, and said, "You can try whatever you want."
He picked up the book and asked me, "What is the first paragraph of Article 3 of the Theft Law?"
As soon as I opened my mouth, I said, "Whoever steals property worth 50 copper shells shall be punished with one month's hard labor for the owner's family." ”
Lamba flipped through a few more pages and asked a few terms, all of which I answered word for word.
"How is this possible? I don't believe it, this can't test you?"
Lamba turned to a page and stopped, and asked me, "What is the sixth word on the first line of page fifteen?"
"Nose cut."
Answering correctly, Lamba took the book, and for a while he didn't know how to pass me, so he suddenly put the book on the table, turned a page casually, pointed to one of the words, and asked me with round eyes, "What does this word read?"
I glanced at the word, and looked at his face that was unwilling to accept because of the entanglement, and said unhurriedly: "The word that kills the head."
Lamba was completely convinced, holding the book and looking at me with a deflated mouth, speechless for a while. I looked back at him with a smile.
"What is this? Affectionate eye contact, huh? It's only a long time coming, why is the relationship between the two of you going behind my back?"
Gillibal then paced in from the outside, and asked in a strange way.
Lamba said "ah", threw the book aside, and looked at Gillibal with tears coming down, "Brother, I want to cry!"
Gilibal hurriedly walked over, sat aside, and asked nervously, "No, what's wrong?"
Lamba looked at him with a wry look and said sadly: "Brother, my self-confidence has been completely crushed by the mage!"
Although I am not considered to have great wisdom, I have always thought highly of myself, and I think that I am still smarter than ordinary people. But the Master of the Law, I read this thick code to him, and he remembered every word, and even recognized the words.
You say, what is the difference between people like you and me compared to mages and pigs and dogs? What's the point of being alive?" As he spoke, his eyes were really moist.
When Gillibal heard this, he immediately became anxious, "Huh? How do you speak? Who is like a pig and a dog? You don't mean to live for you, but don't get me involved! I'm having a good life!"
