Chapter 21 Hungry and thirsty
On the second day, after Li Haotian finished the recitation arranged by the old lady early, he wanted to ask to read the book. The old lady was naturally happy, so she arranged for the eunuch to lead Li Haotian to the library in the palace, and she couldn't wait to be leisurely.
The eunuch took Li Haotian out of Dongguan, passed through the three-story gate, and entered the palace. After three turns and two turns, they came to a tall palace.
The palace was enveloped in a layer of pale yellow light, and it was clear that some veins were protecting the palace.
The eunuch cleared his throat and said loudly to the light: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
With a flash of light, a gold-armored general walked out and knelt down in front of Li Haotian.
"The last general, Feng Hui, meet His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"No courtesy. Li Haotian said politely. This person is dressed in golden armor, and his rank in the palace is not low. Moreover, this collection of books is so well guarded, it seems that the emperor attaches great importance to this place.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to enter the cabinet to read the book, please General Feng to lead the way. The eunuch said.
"Yes. General Feng said, returning to the front of the light, and waved his hand. Li Haotian saw that he was holding a jade Ruyi in his hand. The light above the jade Ruyi flashed, and a gap flashed above the light curtain.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please. General Feng said.
Li Haotian looked at the light curtain a few more times and strode in.
General Feng followed, and the light closed again.
As soon as he entered the light curtain, Li Haotian's ears suddenly became unusually quiet. And the palace in front of him is even more majestic.
Goshokaku.
General Feng led Li Haotian to the door of the Imperial Book Pavilion and bowed: "Your Highness, the last general has no right to enter the cabinet, please let the prince enter by himself." ”
"Okay, thank you General Feng. Li Haotian said politely and strode in.
There is a special fragrance in the Goshokaku, which is thought to be a preservative fragrance that is scattered to preserve the books.
The light flashed in front of him, and an old man in a white robe appeared in front of Li Haotian. Li Haotian was taken aback, and at this time, the old man bowed slightly and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old man's Imperial Book Pavilion Zuo Cheng Longping." ”
"Lord Ryuhei. Li Haotian respectfully hugged his fist. In the past few months in the palace, he found that there were many people in the Tianlong Empire who saw the crown prince, and even the emperor didn't have to pay homage, just bowed.
"Your Highness, this Imperial Library is the place where the palace collects books. Among them, there are more than 2 million kinds of classics, geography and humanities, pulse qi cultivation, pulse tool production, books on elves and pulse beasts, etc. Li Haotian nodded, and said in his heart In this palace, there seem to be many people who don't need to pay a big salute when they see themselves, and they don't even have to pay a big salute when they see the emperor. For example, the Long Ping in front of him, he is either a veteran of the empire or a top master. The masters of the palace are like Lin, referring not only to the masters like General Feng outside, but also to these unfathomable people.
He was appointed to guard such an important place, and he must have an extraordinary status or extraordinary ability. And it is surprising that a "librarian" was actually named an official like "Cheng". You must know that the "Cheng" of the Celestial Dragon Empire is the title of the highest official of the ministries and departments after the Prime Minister.
Long Ping did not look at Li Haotian's scrutinizing gaze, but said: "What kind of books does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to read? Is it that the prince has already set a goal, or is it recommended by the old man?"
Li Haotian thought about it, and in addition to reading, his heart said that in addition to reading, his task today was to let the racket understand the words of the Missan Continent, and at this time, he was not in a hurry to read those books on pulse qi cultivation, because the words he mastered were not yet proficient, and he didn't say whether he could understand what was said in the book.
"Prince Ben suffered a head wound and lost many of his memories. Therefore, I want to read a book about the humanities and history of the Missan Continent, and I also ask Fa Ge Cheng to recommend one. Li Haotian said in the air, but his eyes swept around. For there has not been a single book in the palace so far.
"Very good. Long Ping said, waving his hand lightly, and at the same time, the pulse ring on his body flashed. Because the pulse ring flickered very quickly, Li Haotian didn't see clearly how many layers of pulse rings it was.
There was a rumbling sound overhead, and the huge ceiling suddenly swirled in all directions, revealing that there was a hole in the sky.
Looking at the front of it, there are actually ten floors, and each floor has ten cylindrical bookshelves. And in the square of the bookshelf, there are round buckets.
"There are a total of 99 bookshelves on the upper floor, and each shelf contains 10,000 books. Long Ping introduced and waved his hand again, a little light lit up a book grid on the second layer, and a barrel flew down and slowly fell into his hand.
"This is a miscellaneous essay written by a well-known person of the Federation of Ballas more than a hundred years ago, and it is easy to understand and is very suitable for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to read. Long Ping said, and the box in his hand suddenly opened with a "snap", revealing the contents inside.
Inside was not a bamboo slip, silk or paper book as Li Haotian imagined, but a jade board more than seven inches long and four inches wide.
Is this a book? Li Haotian said secretly in his heart.
The old man smiled slightly when he saw Li Haotian's expression, and a little fluorescent light flew into the jade piece in his hand, and the jade piece emitted a slight light, and more than a dozen lines of text appeared on it.
Li Haotian Daqi, the way of collecting books here seems to be a high-end meaning.
Long Ping handed the jade piece to Li Haotian and introduced: "This is Lingjian, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince reads, touch the right side of it to turn the page backwards, touch the left side of it to turn the page forward, and touch the middle of it to display the table of contents." ”
Li Dajue is playful, very similar to the functions of some electronic products he saw in the other world. It seems that no matter which world it is, the designer has the same meaning. He thought, tried it a few times, and sure enough, it worked.
Long Ping pointed to a door next to him and said, "The prince can go to that room and read carefully, there is a pulse array to block the noise of the outside world, and no one will disturb it." ”
"Just what I wanted. After Li Haotian thanked Long Ping, he strode into the room.
The room is very simple, with a table and a chair. But it was very quiet, better than Li Haotian imagined. Li Haotian saw that Long Ping did not follow up, so he took out the racket from the brocade bag. After the racket emitted a glimmer of light that only Li Haotian could detect, he woke up.
It turned out that through Li Haotian's communication with the racket in the past few days, he finally understood why he was so unreasonable to the racket, and the racket still forgave himself. Why doesn't the racket find a ready-made strong person on the Missan continent, instead of becoming stronger by itself to achieve its goal? Because in this world, the only person who can perceive and communicate with the racket is himself. Although the racket can sense the changes in the energy of the outside world, it cannot directly perceive other things, it can only contact Li Haotian and perceive the outside world through Li Haotian's perception. It is also necessary to pass on information to Li Haotian in order to do what he wants to do.
At this time, Li Haotian grabbed the racket with one hand and looked at the Lingjian. Lingjian is made of a rare jade, and in the middle of its back, there is a spirit stone, which is actually mid-level.
"It turned out to be a vein. Li Haotian muttered to himself.
"Let's get started, I'm hungry for the things of this world. Said the racket.
