Body of God: Sealing (3)

"There are four kinds of books: one is called "Collected Books", up and down thousands of years of right and wrong, not easy to see with the naked eye, so if you want to hide it, you should hide it in the mountains to wait for future generations. One said "Burning Books", then answered the questions of confidants, what he said was quite pertinent to modern scholars, and if he was sick, he would want to kill him, and he should burn it and abandon it, and he could not leave another ......record after "Burning Books", "Xiao Wang Li Zheng was lying on the stone steps of the hall on the first floor of Heishui Liufang Building, holding Li Zhen's "Burning Books" and began to read it from the preface.

The architectural form of Heishui Liufanglou is like the tulou of the Minjiang River, and it looks like a black bracelet when looking down, but this bracelet is too huge, and the diameter should be two miles. Only the legendary giant Kuafu is qualified to wear it.

The ring-shaped Black Water Liufang Building has ten floors, each with a million volumes. Open flames are never allowed here, and if you want to go inside to read, you have to carry a windproof lantern. So sometimes when I enter it, there are fireflies shaking, and I think it is a ghost fire released by the elves in the book.

But when you get to the top floor of Liufang Building, the scenery is very different, not the scenery outside the window is different, but there are many night pearls here, which can emit cold light faintly, not very bright, but enough to be able to read a book.

This kind of chic treatment, not everyone can enjoy, people who enter the tenth floor must be recognized by everyone in terms of knowledge, Wang Li at the age of fifteen obtained the qualification to go to the top floor to read, he is the youngest of them, this has nothing to do with his special generation, knowledge and generation have no necessary causal relationship.

In the midst of loneliness, it is like being exiled on a strange desert island, with no people and no transportation. The only thing that can dispel feelings is a book left behind from the ages.

In the dark building, the lights should also be lit, and some people don't like the shadows of the lights, so they open the windows on both sides of the floor and lie on the windowsill to read.

The windows in the building are open day and night, so that many books are piled on top of each other on one floor, and there is no smell of mold......

It is a good place in the center of Liufang Building, which is often full of people, but no one dares to surround and occupy the most central place, because that is the position where the scholar in charge of the supervision of the shadow gate is qualified to sit.

Although there are many books here, it is quite easy to find, because its classification method is very modern management flavor, according to the four parts of the subset of classics and history. There is also a bibliography in the gatehouse, where you can also find the books you want.

It is rumored that when Ji Xiaolan of the Qing Dynasty compiled the Siku Quanshu at the behest of Emperor Qianlong, he did so with the help of the classification method of the shadow gate and black water.

There are two books in Liufang Building that are the most special, one is the first book to open the book at the bottom of the floor, and there is only the title of the book but no record of the content. for the book in it will never be found in the world. For example, the legendary "Lianshan", "Returning to Tibet", and "Guangling San".

The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty with very agitated ideas. Because there were many giants all of a sudden. Wang Zhufeng counts one, Wang Yangming counts one, Li Zhen also counts one, and Fang Xiaoru can only be regarded as rotten. The great Confucian saints were all to save people, but he actually harmed his relatives and ten clans, and 873 people were executed by Ling Chi.

Ling Chi's execution was not Ling Shi's execution. The flesh of more than 800 people was cut off with a sharp knife one by one, and the piled up meat crumbs should be able to feed the leopard house of future generations.

Matteo Ricci brought Western music, mathematics, philosophy, and religion to China. The Ming Dynasty in the sea ban knew that there was another civilization on the other side of the sea.

"Wonderful~~" After Wang Li read Li Zhen's "Book Burning", he didn't feel sweating. "Li Lao is worthy of being the grandmaster of the Taizhou School. ”

When Wang Li was seven years old, he was already a scholar in a building. In the impression of ordinary people, a scholar is a small follower of a scholar's son, sorting out books, pen and ink, and so on. A person who accompanies and takes care of the daily life of the scholars.

But the scholars of the shadow door are very special, their work is very simple, but it is not very simple, even if they read books. After reading a book every seven days, and then go to the square of Liufang Building to retell the contents of the book for the superintendent scrivener, and in some details, you must quote and explain your own opinions, and say what you think is right and wrong in the book.

This is a process of reading books thickly, and sometimes the book manager has to deliberately make things difficult for the bookboy, deliberately saying the wrong point of view, so that the book boy can prove that he is right.

For example, once the scholar asked Wang Li to prove that if Qin Shi Huang were resurrected now, what would he do to the Japanese Emperor.

Seven-year-old scholars were also rare before the Ming Dynasty, although there were many prodigies in the first gang in the world, but Wang Li, who was qualified to enter Liufang Building as a scholar at the age of seven, was the first.

Most of the children here are fifteen or sixteen years old. For seven-year-old children, they may not even recognize all common words, but Wang Li has no teacher, and it seems that some abilities are innate.

When he was a one-year-old child, he held "The World Speaks New Words" and looked at it. Wang Zhufeng was surprised again and again, only Wang Li was his wife, and his face was sad after seeing it.

Her sentimentality was not due to the worry that "it's too late, it's not necessarily better", but because she remembered her old man. Wang Li was originally a human form made of rare treasures in the world, which was thousands of times more precious than a single Buddha relic.

If you spend a lot of treasures on one person, it is not necessarily a sad thing, and the old woman, as the princess of the demon world, should be the queen now. There are countless treasures that I have seen in my life, and even the Xuanyuan arrow, embroidered needle hairpin, and open heaven axe of the ten ancient artifacts have not only seen it.

She is a rich person, and rich people will never cry for money, and the reason why she cries should be because she thinks of her husband, Wang Meng.

The principle of creating gods and creating people should be the same, if you use the world's treasures to shape a human form, it is only a human form, and the mud fetus golden body Buddha in the temple is the same, no different. The essence is the same as that of the earth dog tile chicken.

Because they don't have souls.

It may be possible for things to become fine when they get old, but Old Man Wang can't wait. The power of action is always terrifying, especially for a heaven-defying figure like Wang Meng.

In order to allow Wang Li to have a soul, Wang Meng's body injected half of his inner dan and half of his soul, just like Nuwa blew a breath of fairy breath on the clay man, and the clay man came back to life.

However, Wang Li's body Wang Meng's soul has always been in a state of chaos, and it has never been able to merge with Wang Li's powerful body, so Wang Li not only has his own personality, but also unconsciously learns the memory of his master's soul.

When Wang Meng's soul awakens in Wang Li's body, Wang Li or Wang Meng should be able to compete with the highest god of God, the Heavenly God.

Shi Niang always stroked Wang Li's little head heavily, "I hope that day will not come." ”

"Master, what day?" Wang Li innocently raised his head and looked at the gray-haired teacher.

"The sun in the sky has no rays, and the moon sheds blood and tears. ”

Wang Li didn't look frightened, and he didn't look at the sun in the sky to see if it had changed color. Because the bright sun is being trampled under his feet, it is extraordinarily warm. "Is it a tengu eclipse day?"

"No, the sun will still rise brightly after the tengu eats the day, but what I'm saying is that the sun will always be dim. ”

"It's dark, wouldn't it be nice if we lit a few more candles~~" Wang Li was very naïve.

"Hehe~~ yes. The lady laughed miserably. "When it's dark, just let the earth light up. "If that day really comes, the destruction of the Six Realms can be saved by a few candles. The old woman thought in her heart.

The old man Wang Li is undoubtedly a pessimistic person, but all the people, gods, demons, demons, ghosts, beasts, plants and trees who have witnessed the third great war are all shocked.

The first war of gods and demons shattered the earth created by Pangu, five continents lost the Middle-earth continent, and the remaining four continents were also inhabited, each of them drew the ground as a prison but did not know it, people are like this, and so are gods.

In the distant realms, man and God are the same.

The second war of gods and demons involved people in it, but at a considerable time, they began to make a contract between heaven and earth, and the white clouds above were ruled by the gods, which is why there are often immortals in the mountains; below 100 feet underground are ruled by demons, so there are often terrifying and terrifying scenes in the places a few feet below the ground; in the areas above the ground and below the white clouds, the gods and demons are jointly managed by hundreds of categories, and everyone in the six realms has the right to speak.

So much so that the ghosts of the demon world, the gray-white and yellow willows of the demon world, and the scattered immortals of the god world often travel. However, the human race, who only knows slash-and-burn farming, has become more powerful because the Six Realms coexist in one area. People gradually learned from the gods the Taoist art of subduing ghosts and demons, and from the demon world, they learned the method of punishing immortals.

Gradually, people became a powerful force above the earth under the white clouds, and this space was called the human world. Although the heavenly realm, the human world, and the netherworld are the three side by side, it is obvious that the human world is the most insignificant in strength.

Its weakness is obviously reflected in the manipulation of gods and demons behind the change of dynasties in the world, for example, the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty is inseparable from the help of Nuwa and Dao Immortals, and Liu Bang is the son of the Red Emperor......

There is a certain truth in the fact that the ancient emperors were the sons of heaven themselves.

The third war between gods and demons has reduced a large area of the world to nothing. The human world is sandwiched between the heavenly realm and the netherworld, like a rat in a bellows with anger at both ends.

When two people fight, you are impartial in the middle, and even if you stand honestly, it is inevitable that there will be such a situation - that is, you are kicked a few times by people on both sides.

The third war of gods and demons is like this, the world was once rich in water and soil, Lop Nur everywhere in cattle and sheep has become a forbidden area of death, the boundless fiery desert, the former Everest has doubled, and has become the roof of the world, the highest peak in the world.

The highest peak in the world sounds domineering, but it has caused thousands of miles of land to be uncultivated, and tens of thousands of people have died due to avalanches, earthquakes, and ice cracks.

There is nothing wrong with one day in heaven and one year on earth. It is because of the war between the gods and demons that both sides have turned the once peaceful wind and rain into a climate with unknown seasons, with snow flying in June and a scorching sun in the wax moon...... There is no water in the south of the Yangtze River, and the water in the north overflows the embankment.

Wang Meng is a pessimist, there is no sourceless water in the world, and there is no tree without roots. Wang Meng's pessimism stems from witnessing the third war of gods and demons.

If he wants to become a god, he does not rule the world, but he has to fight against the two worlds of gods and demons, forming a three-legged situation to contain each other, in order to exchange for the true peace and tranquility of the six worlds.
