Chapter 12 It's just not unexpected
The library of Hongdu College is located in the northwest direction of the college, close to the northwest corner of Yinming Pond. Behind it is an alley is the Great Jin Palace. The library is surrounded by a variety of plum trees, as well as trees that are decades or even hundreds of years old, which are lush and green, making this place seem very quiet.
Gao Ming has been here a lot before, but he is always here to clean, and he is always cleaning outside, and it is not his turn to take care of the sanitation in the library. With his character, he naturally wouldn't bother with the stewards who managed their miscellaneous servants on weekdays. This can not only get in touch with a large number of cultivators in the library cabinet, but also take a look at related books from time to time, although it is not a fat difference in the miscellaneous work, but it is definitely a difference in the eyes of many people.
Xiuzhen is a very systematic knowledge, and if you want to explore it completely on your own, it must be in the online game of Gaoming's world. But even in online games, the reason why Gao Ming was able to become a god-level player later was not only his own understanding, but also the crystallization of the wisdom of countless players.
Gao Ming has always been a person who makes decisions and moves, and in the eyes of many people, he is a very stable person. He didn't rashly eat Zhu Guo and start absorbing refining aura just because this world was very similar to that online game world, he needed to know more about this world, understand the cultivation system of this world and the experience of many predecessors.
Before sending him over, those white coats only told him that the online game he played was similar to this world, but where the small differences were, those white coats couldn't tell clearly. And the reason why I wanted to send him here was to let him observe the difference between this world and the online game world. And the leader surnamed Wu, who had a big belly and a black-framed glasses on his head and a waistband tied almost to his chest and abdomen, also promised him that the bonus given to him by the state was positively related to the length of time he stayed in this world. The longer you stay and the more detailed you are about the world, the higher the prize.
Before Gao Ming crossed over, he was not only a god-level player in that online game, but also read a lot of background data and information provided to him by those white coats, which made him understand the online game world more deeply. He may not understand why he traveled to this world, and he may not understand why this world is so similar to that online game. He asked, but the replies he received were vague or simply told that it was a state secret and not something he could know. But in any case, his understanding of the cultivation system of this world, the various exercises and rune systems, etc., is really unmatched, including the development team that developed that online game.
"Cultivating the truth is nothing more than the three major systems of refining qi, refining the body, and refining the gods, which is the foundation. Zhao Yu said eloquently to Gao Ming, "As for the swordsmanship talisman, this is the application. Among the foundations, refining qi is also known as the foundation of the foundation, and aura is the foundation of everything. Therefore, any cultivator must start from refining qi. Sage Kong did not speak but did not write at the beginning, and among his seventy-two sage disciples, there were eight people who were recognized as great masters of qi refining by later generations, that is, the eight sects of qi refining in later generations. They are: Zeng Minzong, Baili Zong, Meng Mingzong, Pu Xia Zong, Zhuan Xuan Zong, Gongye Zong, Sanran Zong, and Qidiao Zong. To this day, although the Qi refining method is as vast as the sea, it is not among these eight sects as a whole. It's just that the ancient sayings of the predecessors are too obscure and difficult to understand, and the meaning of many words is understood differently by different people, or even incomprehensible. In view of this situation, many of the predecessors of later generations did a lot of work and wrote many articles to interpret these eight classics. Oh, what those eight sages did was originally hailed as a scripture by later generations. Later generations who interpreted these scriptures became sub-books. Basically, beginners have to start with the sub-part and lay a foundation first. ”
"Why don't you just read the Bible?" Gao Ming wondered, he knew that every sentence passed through a person's ear and mouth in another world where the Internet exploded, and the meaning would change. He has always been a rigorous person, and he has developed a habit of looking at raw data.
Zhao Yu frowned slightly, and said: "The scriptures are broad and profound, and the meanings of many words in them are not the same as the current meanings. ”
"What about those tricks?" Gao Ming started by learning skill books when he started playing online games, so he was very interested in it.
Zhao Yu smiled: "Those formulas are all at the end of the branches, and those who can't touch or understand these scriptures and books will seek those ready-made formulas. Any trick is only learned, and you don't know what it is. And the scriptures and books are to interpret the reason for this. Senior brother, you must know that ordinary cultivators would not be able to access these scriptures and books at all. The cold door is not like the high gate of the family. The children of the high-ranking families can learn these profound things from a young age, while the children of the poor families can only rely on some tricks passed down from their ancestors or apprentices since they were young. Some of the tricks are subtle and reasonable, but many more are crude, and they only seek quick results, regardless of the consequences. That is, Emperor Wu was eloquent and created Hongdu Academy, which allowed me to wait for these people from poor families to have access to these profound knowledge. Otherwise, if we have the talent, how can we cultivate those lowly methods all day long, and then advance to a high-grade cultivator in the future. ”
"Then the books in this library include all the classics?" Gao Ming asked.
Zhao Yu shook his head: "How is it possible? The Qi Refining Sutra is basically complete, and there is only a part of the refining body, and even less refining the gods." As for the sub-divisions of the interpretation of the scriptures, the ones that are really advanced are still hidden in the Ouchi Imperial Palace or in the homes of those high-ranking families. What a precious thing, how can it be so easy for me to see. ”
Zhao Yu first sighed lightly when he said this, and then said with a smile: "I'm already satisfied to see these classics." How can we not be satisfied if we don't have enough hearts to swallow elephants? What should those who can't even see these things do?"
Gao Ming wanted to say why those high-ranking families didn't make those advanced cultivation knowledge public, but after thinking about it, why would he lend those god-level exercises to others when he played online games?
If people don't give them their things, do they still have to rob them?
Gao Ming shook his head. The sanctity of personal property in the world he came from has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even in the name of the state and the collective, personal property cannot be infringed upon.
Only by protecting the individual can the collective be safeguarded. If the collective is first and foremost, the interests of each individual will not be protected. Gao Ming is clear about this. He is accustomed to seeing those people who keep talking about the interests of the country and the collective interests, but behind them are all the actions of flies and dogs.
Emperor Wu of Jin took out some things from the royal collection to Hongdu Academy, but in the final analysis, it was not for the sake of their Huangfu family?
Therefore, when Zhao Yu praised Emperor Wu of Jin endlessly, Gao Ming's heart was unimpressed.
"Which book do you think I should start with?"
"Hongdu Academy doesn't talk about senior brothers and younger brothers. Zhao Yu smiled, "Just call me Brother Zhao or Senior Zhao." ”
"I'll call you Senior Zhao. ”
"In my personal opinion, Master Fu Qian's "Analysis of Ancient Characters" and Master Jia Kui's "Qi Refining and Gathering Solution" are the best. ”
"Good. Gao Ming said, "Then I'll listen to the senior." ”
Gao Ming himself has no authority, Zhao Yu used his authority to find him "Analysis of Ancient Characters" first, and he picked up "Qi Refining Solution" and raised his hand: "You read "Ancient Character Analysis" first, and I will double the "Qi Refining Solution". The more I read this book, the more I learned, the more I felt that my understanding was far from enough. ”
This library is very different from that of later generations. There were no tables, but there were some benches by the window and lots of small wooden benches. Books in the library can only be read in the library and cannot be borrowed. Gao Ming sat quietly on a bench by the window, the sunlight shining through the layers of leaves and the open white screen windows on the pages that smelled of ink and books, leaving mottled marks. Although there is no red sleeve fragrance, it also has a unique flavor. It's a good place to study, a good environment.
"But the beginning is the beginning, and the Tao stands in one. Divide the heavens and the earth, and turn them into all things. All belong to one ......"
This "Analysis of Ancient Characters" is the "Xinhua Dictionary". Gao Mingxin said, but he watched it with relish. He also had a period of intensive training before he got into that machine. The content includes the cultivation system of the online game world, the writing system, the talisman system, and so on.
Although he has been in this world for more than ten years, he still remembers his mission. That is to understand the difference between observing the world and the online game world, which is closely related to the prize money he can get.
Although it is a boring word and explanation, he regards them all as money, and naturally reads them with relish. He was originally selected among those god-level players, and what those project leaders valued most about him was that his personality was calm enough to withstand loneliness and read the articles he wrote.
Although Zhao Yu said that he was sitting on the side and also flipped through the "Qi Refining Solution", his eyes looked at Gao Ming from time to time. He wanted to know what else was wrong with this Destiny. The front of "Analysis of Ancient Characters" is very simple, and they are the most basic and commonly used words, such as one two three heaven and earth Xuanhuang and the like, but the back is becoming more and more obscure and difficult to understand. Countless people can't even understand the paraphrase and can't figure it out.
At the beginning, he saw that Gao Ming's expression was very relaxed, and he turned it very quickly, but he didn't care. But Gao Ming's speed of turning the book has been maintained very fast, and there is no tendency to slow down at all, and his expression has always maintained the relaxed appearance at the beginning, not to mention frowning, and even a slight pause in thinking can hardly be seen.
Zhao Yu couldn't help but be puzzled.
Is this clever incomprehensible? Or is it born to know?
He has been very intelligent since he was a child, but when he read this book, the more difficult it is to understand, often repeating every word for many days, and many times he has to ask the professors of the college, so that he can understand, and even with the profundity of his cultivation, after his understanding has reached a higher level, he suddenly realized that his previous understanding of many words and words was inaccurate or even completely wrong, and many of the opinions of those professors were also biased or even wrong.
Could this genius really be a man of destiny? The reincarnation of a saint?" Zhao Yu thought in shock in his heart.
So in this library pavilion, the two of them sat quietly, one kept turning the book, while the other was just meditating, and did not turn a page for a long time.
I don't know how long it was, and even when there were already many candles as thick as a baby's arm lit in the library pavilion, they didn't pay much attention to it, and then they saw that Gao Ming had already turned the last page of "Analysis of Ancient Characters".
"Senior Zhao," Gao Ming stretched his waist for a long time, "Can you let me flip through the book of "Qi Refining Solution" in your hand?"
"Is this finished?" Zhao Yu was stunned, and even suspected that he was hallucinating.
"It's just a strange thing!" Gao Ming said casually.
Isn't it unusual?
Suddenly, Zhao Yu even began to doubt the level of IQ that he had always been proud of. He really wanted to test the other party's level in person immediately, but he hesitated a little and handed the "Qi Refining Solution" in his hand to the other party.
I'd like to see if you're anything else!
