Chapter 183: The Old Woman on the Beam
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, when it comes to books, the first thing that comes to people's minds is not the Four Books and Five Classics, but the secret books of martial arts.
Especially during the reign of the first emperor and Zhaotong, the reason why people at that time were to learn to read and write was basically to be able to understand the martial arts in the book, and some of the martial arts that were not very popular were for convenience, and even some simply only drew pictures and did not write.
Therefore, when Qin Lang entered the fourth floor of the Juxian Pavilion, almost all of the several top-level cabinets around him were full of various martial arts-related books.
From internal skills to external skills, from martial arts to experience, there is everything.
"Through the back... North and South Boxing... Liuhe... Eight poles... Xingyi... It's all basic, but these versions are very well documented, and they're a great way to lay the foundation..."
As for how good it is, Qin Lang feels that according to his own situation, these versions are only a little worse than that of Senior Sister Mu Xuan.
That's definitely a high rating.
……
Finally, after turning around, Qin Lang found that two-thirds of the books in the fourth layer of the collection were relatively popular things that could also be seen on the market, and one-third of them were slightly more precious exercises.
""Floating Heart Sutra", "Snake Palm", "Chiba Sword Spectrum"..."
Although Qin Lang has learned some "nameless exercises" with his senior sister since he was a child, the theory and foundation of martial arts are all the same, and Qin Lang only needs to look at a few glances to understand the high and low of these finished exercises that Qin Lang has never seen before.
Finally, it is concluded that:
It's not as good as my sister's.
……
Think about it, after all, the trick that my sister casually taught herself, "Tianshan Fishing Hand", turned out to be the legendary "Dragon Elephant Cloud Hand", and what other "Sword Method A" and "Gong Fa B", now it seems that they are all "Star Picking Knife" and "Datong Ming Xuangong".
In particular, the internal strength method like "Dragon Heart Jue" is also inextricably related to the "Filial Piety Decision" taught to me by my senior sister, that is, "Mu Xin Decision".
When Qin Lang thought of these things now, he was no longer like when he first dealt with the Blood Knife Gate, and simply thought that it was a coincidence or a misunderstanding.
By now, Qin Lang already knew in his heart that these peerless secret techniques that were often lost on the rivers and lakes today were the same thing as the nameless martial arts that his senior sister had been teaching him.
It's just that Qin Lang still doesn't know what the relationship between these peerless schools and his senior sister is.
Who are the pioneers? Why are there two versions: [Jianghu Version] and [Senior Sister Version]?
Qin Lang estimated that there should be no way to find answers to these questions from other people's mouths except for the opportunity to return to Tianshan Mountain in the future.
……
Having said that, although Qin Lang can't look down on these finished exercises on the fourth layer, they are indeed good treasures for ordinary martial arts practitioners.
However, they are by no means priceless treasures on the market, and it is not surprising that people who are a little richer and more expensive keep two or three copies in their homes.
On the whole, just with the content of the fourth layer of the book collection, Qin Lang felt that it was definitely not worth attracting the big men of the rivers and lakes to join the Juxian Pavilion as Huang Youwan said.
So...
Is the really good thing really five or six floors?
After inspecting the fourth floor for most of the day, Qin Lang now felt that if there were really so-called good things on the fifth or sixth floor, then the collection of books at this level should be similar to the library hall in the palace.
Hiss...
If that's the case, this Huang Youwan is really bold...
Originally, Su Yupan felt that Huang Youwan's recruitment of customers had been encroached upon, and if the collection of books in the Juxian Pavilion was also encroached upon, it would be an emperor who would have to suspect that this product was against him.
Although Huang Youwan tried to keep a low profile of these things, didn't he think about the results of these situations reaching the ears of the empress at all?
Or is it...
What backing does Huang Youwan have...?
Qin Lang couldn't help but think of what the empress said, Huang Youwan weighed the matter between the [Regent faction] and the [new emperor faction], and now it seems that it is very likely that his trade-off is false, and he should have chosen one of them as his background in private.
So in this way, Huang Youwan is likely to have taken refuge in the regent secretly.
In this way, his bold move to build this Juxian Pavilion suddenly has a more reasonable explanation.
"Yu Pan..."
Qin Lang is a young man, although he is not interested in court battles, he is interested in the empress.
Of course, to be precise, it's not just about interest...
Anyway, what is not good for the empress, Qin Lang will definitely regard it as something that is not good for him.
In the position of the empress, the power related to the regent is naturally a bad thing, Qin Lang first buried the conjecture of "Huang Youwan is the person of the regent" in his heart, and prepared to wait until he went out to talk to the empress in detail, at the moment the main thing is to find "Yun Ji Seven Signs", so after completely looking for the fourth floor of Juxian Pavilion that night, he directly rushed to the fifth layer non-stop.
————————
"Huh?"
However, Qin Lang, who was originally in various vigilant and cautious moods, really found that the layout here was not only simpler than the fourth floor, but even emptier than the fourth floor.
Of course, this emptiness refers to popularity, and tall bookcases or something are still covered all over the floor.
When Qin Lang stayed on the fourth floor today, in addition to Wang Liu, he also had a face-to-face with several other Juxian Pavilion doormen who came upstairs, including the former Five Poison Sect priestess, who had been scratching his head and staring at Qin Lang throughout the whole process, if Qin Lang hadn't covered his face with a book, he would probably get into trouble.
But the fifth floor is obviously not so lively.
Although it is said that the more advanced layers should be less popular, the problem is that according to Qin Lang's understanding, there are some bigwigs who have lived on these five or six floors for a long time, and it is normal to say that there are no individual customers from outside, but what about those bigwigs?
Creak...
Qin Lang stepped lightly on the wooden board, walked on the fifth floor, which was unusually quiet, and saw a set of small tables and stools next to the stairs, with some books piled up on the table.
Qin Lang got closer, and found that a brush next to the booklet didn't seem to have dried yet, obviously it had just been passive here.
That's the same question, what about people?
Qin Lang was alert, and after looking around again, his attention was slightly attracted by the booklet on the table.
"This is..."
He took a brief look at it, only to find that the booklet was not simple.
[On the second day of February, Jingzhou's search for the dragon failed...]
[March 15, Liangzhou looked for the dragon, and one person was sentenced to leave...]
[On March 17, the rebels have been removed, and the search for the dragon in Yuezhou in Yunzhou has not been successful...]
[On the first day of the fourth month, I received the king's order to get rid of a county order in Cao County, Huaizhou...]
……
These are... Juxian Pavilion's "mission log"?
The more Qin Lang looked, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and then at a certain moment, his heartstrings suddenly tightened, and the golden internal force of the dantian was almost instinctively infused into his hands, and then he subconsciously slammed his hands into the sky above him!
Bang –
Under the collision with a strong force, Qin Lang turned around and retreated a few times and looked up, and was stunned to find that there was an old woman with snow-white hair hanging upside down on the beam.
"Hahaha... The child's skills are good..."
It's so cold, only 8 degrees, everyone pay attention to the body, and when it's cold, you can warm up your body by pouring it down~
