Chapter 70: The Origin of the Book

Hearing this, Zhang Hao stretched out his hand, and Xu Fengnian handed the book to Zhang Hao.

I saw Zhang Hao take the book and said, "Go and fetch a basin of water, I'm taking the pen and ink." ”

Hearing this, Xu Fengnian hurriedly arranged for someone to do it.

Zhang Hao also thought of one thing, and wanted to use the method of tracing the source of books by the Inspection Institute when he was in the world of Qing Yu Nian before, and it was not possible to try this method.

After a while, the blue bird took the pen and ink, Wei Shuyang moved a small table, and Shu Xi brought a basin of water.

Then, it's time for Zhang Hao to perform.

I saw Zhang Hao tear a page off the book, rub it a few times, then put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and said, "This paper is made of dragon beard grass." ”

Everyone didn't know how to make paper, so they just nodded when they heard the words.

I heard Zhang Hao continue: "This kind of paper, according to the degree of shade and ink, is divided into three types: raw, cooked and semi-cooked. ”

After speaking, Zhang Hao placed the paper on the table, then dipped the ink on the paper, then observed it for a while, and said, "This is cooked paper." ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hao tore open a strip of paper, observed it, then soaked it in water, picked it up, and said: "This paper has a suitable thickness, but in fact, it is three layers and one layer." According to the classification of thickness, it is generally divided into single xuan, sandwich xuan, three layers, and there were four layers before.

However, now four layers are rare, and this kind of paper is exactly three layers. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Hao picked up the soaked paper, kneaded it to a thin piece, and said: "Generally, there are three kinds of paper: cotton, net skin, and special clean skin.

Cotton is generally considered suitable for calligraphy, with sandalwood bark accounting for 30 to 40 percent.

It is usually considered suitable for writing calligraphy, flowers and birds, small freehand, and figures, and the proportion of green sandalwood skin is 60% to 70%.

Special net skin is usually considered to be suitable for landscapes, splashing ink freehand, and green sandalwood bark accounts for more than 80%.

The middle layer of this paper, if you read it correctly, is made of birch, with some kind of bamboo added. It's a net skin. ”

Zhang Hao picked up the paper that was placed on the table just now, looked at the lines on the paper, and said: "Look at the lines again, according to the curtain patterns, they are usually divided into four categories." Single silk road, double silk road, rib pattern, turtle pattern. In addition, there are Danfeng Chaoyang, plum blossom paper, and custom patterns.

The texture on this paper is a kind of Danfeng Chaoyang pattern. ”

After saying that, everyone else is stupid, there are so many doorways for one piece of paper?

Zhang Hao ignored these people, and continued: "This kind of paper is extremely high-grade paper, and only the Xie family in Luzhou Zhizhang City has this craftsmanship. ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, Xu Fengnian heard this, but said in a deep voice: "Luzhou Zhizhang City Xie family? A family of papermakers used by the royal family. ”

Zhang Hao nodded, this Luzhou Zhizhang City Xie family is a papermaking family used by the emperor of this dynasty, in the whole world, only the Liyang royal family, Longhu Mountain, and the seven major feudal kings have this paper.

Seeing that Zhang Hao did not stop, he put the paper with handwriting in the basin, and after a while, the paper was soaked, and Zhang Hao took the paper out of the water.

I wiped the ink on the paper with my hand, looked at it carefully, then sniffed it again, and said: "This ink is a kind of high-grade lacquer smoke ink, which is made of more than 10 kinds of precious materials such as tung oil smoke, musk, borneol, gold leaf, and pearl powder.

Look at this ink again, it is light, polished, smelled, hard as jade, silent, a little like lacquer, and true for thousands of years. It seems that the ink on this paper is some years old, but it meets all the requirements.

In the whole world, only Jiangnan Province produces this kind of ink, and this kind of ink is mainly supplied to Daomen. ”

When Xu Fengnian heard this, he was silent for a while, and at this time he could probably guess who this person behind the scenes was.

The royal paper and the special ink for the Daomen, there is only one in the world, and it is also the place where they will go next, Longhu Mountain!

And everyone, after listening to Zhang Hao's words, couldn't help but have some feelings of admiration for Zhang Hao.

But at this moment, from the top of the mountain, a mountain elf-like woman flew down from the slope, and several rushed towards this side.

As soon as he got close to everyone, he said, "Don't let Xu Fengnian open that box!" ”

Xu Fengnian said in surprise: "Hehe girl? ”

Xu Fengnian saw the person coming clearly at this time, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and then reached out and pressed down Ning Emei's arm to stop the Fengzi camp that was approaching.

The girl was also a little relieved to see that Xu Fengnian was fine, her eyes swept to the book in his hand, and she frowned and said, "You didn't open it, did you?" ”

Xu Fengnian raised the book in his hand and said, "I've finished reading it." ”

As he spoke, Xu Fengnian unfolded the book and glanced at the girl, and then, thinking of something, hesitated: "This is what you gave me?" ”

When the girl heard that Xu Fengnian had finished reading it, she frowned slightly, and asked herself to find out that Longhu Mountain secretly did something to Xu Fengnian, and the man who had brought the red armor of the talisman before, got the wooden box from his predecessors.

Although Xu Fengnian wondered why the girl would help him, he still accepted her kindness, thanked him, and said that he had broken the other party's methods and would no longer be affected by it.

The hehe girl didn't stay in the camp for a long time, and after reminding Xu Fengnian, she left, and at this time, the hehe girl couldn't help but feel suspicious of her master Huang Longshi's wisdom, as if these were all wrong for Xu Fengnian.

Looking at the back that disappeared into the sky under the cover of paper, Xu Fengnian's heart was still full of doubts, and asked, "Lao Zhang, what do you mean by this hehe girl?" Didn't he come to kill me? How now? ”

Zhang Hao did not explain, but went back to the camp to rest.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and it is dawn in a blink of an eye.

The convoy restarted and traveled along the mountain road in the direction of Longhu Mountain.

After teaching a sword to open the gate of heaven, Xu Fengnian became silent again, and saw that Li Chungang was speechless for a while, unwilling to sit in the same carriage with him again. immediately prepared to change with Zhang Hao.

In this regard, Zhang Hao is naturally unwilling, Li Chungang is unwilling to face such Xu Fengnian, and Zhang Hao is also unwilling.

Li Chungang can only give up, and he can't beat him, what else can he do? I can only endure it.

As the carriage traveled to the bottom of the mountain, when it was about to merge into the official road of Guangling, a gust of wind suddenly swept up dust and sand towards this side.

For a time, the smoke and dust were billowing and it was difficult for vehicles to travel.

Zhang Hao knew that Jiang Ni was back.

Sure enough, I heard a sound of 'Oops!' from the wind. 'Hello.

Although the whining wind didn't sound real, Xu Fengnian always felt a little familiar, as if he often heard it.

hurriedly asked Li Chungang: "Senior, did you hear any sound?" ”

After speaking, he glanced out, but he couldn't see anything in the dim wind and sand.

But Xu Fengnian is a land immortal after all, and he really feels that there are more people in the carriage.

Xu Fengnian hurriedly looked back and saw a person sitting in the carriage.
