Zhao Yizhi got up very early today, and after breakfast, he came to the "Tongwen Pavilion", a place in the palace to store books. Since coming to this world, Zhao Yizhi has been soaking here day and night, and the books he reads are also varied, from the great sages to the history of the gods. I prefer ancient books, the more ancient the better, the more strange the better, and the more lonely the better.

"Your Majesty, this is the Warring States Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, this is the Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography, this is the Classic of Mountains and Seas, this is..." At the behest of Zhao Yizhi, the two of them helped Zhao Yizhi find strange books in this Tongwen Pavilion all day long, and now they are newspaper one by one like the names of dishes, waiting for Zhao Yizhi's "luck".

Zhao Yizhi shook his head while listening, they are all still handed down in later generations, it is not unusual, although this ancient book may be more comprehensive, and there are still some ancient books that have not been lost at this time, but he can't raise his interest to read it again.

"What kind of book is that? Take it down for me. Zhao Yizhi walked, suddenly stopped in one place, pointed to a black book at the top of the bookshelf and said.

The two little eunuchs looked at it, and immediately ran away and brought a ladder, one of them held it steady, and the other climbed up and took it down for Zhao Yizhi.

Zhao Yizhi took it with his hand, and there was still some weight, but it was not black and heavy. When I looked closely, it turned out that the black color was just the cover, and there was not even a book title on it. Zhao Yizhi did not rush to flip through the book and read it, but studied it from the cover. The way this cover is packed... So familiar, it's...

Zhao Yizhi was taken aback, this is the method that even primary school students will use to wrap book covers in later generations, how can there be this way of wrapping book covers at this time? Could it be that someone has crossed over, still before me, but I have also read historical materials, and there is nothing wrong with the behavior of the emperors of the past dynasties. At least this book was wrapped by someone else, and it was sent to the palace by chance, and there is no problem with the historical data, and the origin of this black book has long been unfounded. Perhaps, that person has traveled back in time?

The two little eunuchs saw Zhao Yizhi holding the book and fell into deep thought, so they hurriedly divided labor, moved the ladder, brought a Taishi chair and a square table, and asked Zhao Yizhi after making tea: "Your Majesty, sit and watch." ”

A "Your Majesty" pulled Zhao Yizhi back from his thoughts, Zhao Yizhi nodded, sat down on the chair, retreated the two, and studied it carefully.

Zhao Yizhi stared at the black book in his hand, at this time, there was also a book cover, also known as a book jacket, but because it was a thread at this time, it was completely different from the gel binding in later generations, and the way of wrapping the book cover was completely different. Once it was dismantled, Zhao Yizhi made up his mind and started to dismantle it.

Unexpectedly, this black book coat looks rough and heavy, but when disassembled, it is extremely soft, like silk. didn't care about studying the book clothes, Zhao Yizhi looked at it, but the book was also wire-bound, and the title of the book was two big characters "Royal God".

Zhao Yizhi stared at these two big words, and for a while, his head was a little abrupt: "What does this mean?" Is it able to communicate with the immortals, drive the immortals for their own use, or is it something else? ”

Zhao Yizhi shook his head, although he had crossed over, he didn't believe that there could be immortals in the world at all. He always thought that he was just sent by the silverfish, and the silverfish may have the ability to travel through time and communicate with parallel universes, although the principle can't be answered, but to say that there are gods in the world, it can't be explained at all, it's too ridiculous.

Zhao Yizhi didn't think much about it, opened the book, there was no table of contents on the first page, only a scribbled paragraph: "All things have spirits, everything can be controlled, and everything can be made with thought, and everything can be made with gods." If you take the spirit of all things and use it for your own use, you can prove immortality. ”

The word "immortal" is vigorous and powerful, revealing a sense of absurdity, which makes Zhao Yizhi's heart beat wildly.

"Immortality can be proven, immortality can be proven." Zhao Yizhi read it several times in a row, is there really a saying of immortality in the world? Or is it... Is this just a novel that seeks wonders?

Zhao Yizhi continued to read, and the text on the second page is "Chapter 1, Nourishing the Spirit", and the following records are all methods of nourishing the spirit, which are generally about some methods of not overworking, resting sufficiently, and meditating and resting. Only at the end, there is a special explanation, which is different from what Zhao Yizhi knows.

"When the sun and the moon alternate, you need to meditate more to collect the essence of the sun and the moon and expel your own distracting thoughts. In the long run, the gods will not be discharged. ”

Zhao Yizhi thought to himself: "The sun and the moon alternate? Does it mean early morning and dusk? What to meditate on? After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of any clue, so Zhao Yi simply continued to flip back. On the third page, the text is no different from the first chapter, which reads "Chapter 2, Distraction". But there's a blank space underneath.

"What does that mean?" Zhao Yizhi hurriedly turned a few more pages back, and the back was all blank, only the first three pages of the book had words, and the back was all blank?

Zhao Yizhi looked at the "Imperial God" in his hand, and suddenly cried and laughed, and then turned it back. Looking at the first and second pages, the big words "provable immortality" and the method of cultivating the gods in the first chapter seem to be very troublesome. It's not like a trickster.

Zhao Yizhi flipped the book over and over again, and didn't study any clues, after thinking about it again and again, Zhao Yizhi decided to stay first, since there is only the first chapter, then do it first, mainly the four words "provable immortality", which is really shocking to Zhao Yizhi.

Zhao Yizhi got up and stood, and the little eunuch outside the door immediately rushed over when he heard the movement, standing aside and waiting for orders. Zhao Yizhi waved his hand, motioned to remove the table and chairs, and handed the book to the little eunuch for storage: "Go back and send it to my bedroom." After saying that, he wandered around the Tongwen Pavilion again and continued to search.

"Please, please. Help, I'm going to take my two younger sisters across the river, please do well, just cross us!" ”

In a hurry, the three of them rushed to the riverside, and Yi Xiaodao pulled an old boatman and pleaded.

"I can't help it, I've fled from Anhui City for the past two days, I really can't help it, the old wife and a bunch of children at home are waiting for me to feed, it's not that I'm not kind, and I pulled over a couple two days ago. That woman has a big belly, ho, I am afraid of being born on my boat, and I tremble and cross it. In the past two days, I have pulled more people than I have pulled in the previous month, but I have earned less than half, and I can't explain to my wife when I go back! ”

"Boat family, give, here are a few fruits, take them back to the children to eat, relieve their hunger, please do well, cross us over, the flood in Wancheng, we are going to Wucheng to join our relatives." Yi Xiaodao took out a few rotten fruits from his arms and hurriedly stuffed them into the boatman's hands.

The old boatman looked at the rotten fruit in his hand and sighed: "Alas, let's do another good deed, this fruit is inedible, and it is ripe to rot." As he spoke, he threw the fruit in his hand into the river, "Get on the boat, get on the boat, hey, young man, look at you weirdly thin, do you have the strength?" Can you help with a rocking of the oar? ”

Yi Xiaodao turned a blind eye to the boatman throwing away the fruit, and the three of them hurriedly helped each other to get on the boat, Yi Xiaodao took the oar in the old boatman's hand, "Don't work, your old man said, of course we young people come to this kind of thing!" So saying, he plunged the oar into the water and shook it vigorously.

Boat... Motionless...

The old boatman smiled and shook his head: "Okay, okay, sit down, you can see that it has not been shaken." You're not offshore yet, what are you shaking? The old boatman grabbed a bamboo pole on the edge of the boat, held the oar with one hand, grabbed the pole with the other, and the bamboo pole was against the shore, and supported it hard. Let's go~"

Yi Xiaodao didn't sit down as he said, and watched the old boatman swing the oar, pushing and pulling, shaking and pressing, all in his eyes.

After looking at it for a while, he walked up to the old boatman and held down the oar, and said with a smile: "Hehe, boatman, let me try, I seem to understand something." ”

The old boatman glanced at Yi Xiaodao, handed over the oar, and took two steps back, but he didn't go far, after all, a boatload of people was sitting here, and he was responsible for everyone's safety. Although he was still not optimistic about Yi Xiaodao, he had held on for so long, and the water potential and his remaining strength would not make the ship any risk.

Other passengers on the ship are also accustomed to this, there is a lot of water in the south, but if there are young people on the boat who want to learn some water skills, everyone is willing to delay, after all, this kind of practice is more, so as to cultivate more water experts. One side of the water and soil supports one side of the people, and each place has its own way of survival.

Yi Xiaodao held the oar in his hand, and shook it like the old boatman.

The old boatman watched from the sidelines, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, he was not optimistic about Yi Xiaodao at first, and he hadn't even touched the oar, how could he row a boat. But look at this posture, no, look at the stability of this boat, this speed, it is completely a veteran who goes back and forth on the river. The more the old boatman looked, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward and take a closer look.

With each time Yi Xiaodao pressed the oar, he shook the oar backwards, and his body swung with the oar, and the oar shook faster and faster. Gradually, it was as if the people were becoming one. I don't know if the oars grew in his hands, or if others attached them to the oars, relaxed and natural.

"Boatman, it's almost docking, why do you dock?" Yi Xiaodao looked at the shore and shouted to the old boatman anxiously.

Awakened by a word, the old boatman realized that Yi Xiaodao was a fresh hand who had never touched a boat before, and hurriedly took over the oar, swinging in the water, and gradually dissolving the water potential and thrust that Yi Xiaodao had formed. The other picked up the bamboo pole again, looked for a place to lay down the pole to the shore, and prepared to land.

"Young man, don't you see, you really haven't been on a boat?" The other passengers went down, and when Yi Xiaodao and the three of them were about to get off the boat, the old boatman grabbed Yi Xiaodao and asked.

Yi Xiaodao was grabbed and hurriedly arched his hand: "Thank you and thank you, if it weren't for the kindness of the boat family, the three of us brothers and sisters would really have no choice." I really haven't touched the boat, I'm just begging in Wancheng... Begging for a living, never on a boat. ”

"Young man, you go to your relatives and settle these two little girls, would you like to come to my boat? You were born to do it! I'll give you 200, no, 500 dollars a month, would you like to? The old boatman threw out his purpose. Although you can't make much money on boating, you can still afford it. And looking at Yi Xiaodao's posture and speed just now, as long as he does this business, he can go at least two more times a day, and the five hundred yuan will definitely be able to make up for it, and he still has to earn.

Yi Xiaodao was overjoyed when he heard this, it was not that he didn't think about finding a job to do in Anhui City, but the people in Anhui City either saw that he was thin and unwilling to hire him, or they saw that he was a beggar, without a father or mother, and no one to support him. deceived him into doing a few days of work and drove him away, and he also wanted to go to the yamen to complain, but he was penniless, reasonable and weak, how could he sue others.

Now this old boatman is willing to hire him, and he still has five hundred dollars a month, which is one tael of silver for two months, and six taels of silver a year, and saves five taels of silver for frugality, so that it will not be a few years, I am afraid that I will be able to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law...

"Okay, when we go to our relatives and settle down my two younger sisters, I will come to you, and I hope that the boat family will not break their promise!" Yi Xiaodao said hurriedly.

"Good! I'm waiting for you, young man! You must come! "The old boatman was obviously more anxious than he was. It seems that in a year, he can earn more than Yi Xiaodao.

Yi Xiaodao bowed, and pulled He Yue'er and Xianglian'er away with a smile.

The boatman was busy greeting the customers waiting to board the boat, and was also smiling and preparing for the next trip.
