Han Yu raised his head with slightly squinted eyes, only to see a huge golden silk wooden plaque three zhang long and two zhang high hanging in the main hall.

In the center of the plaque, there are three big characters written with gold dust: "Imperial Study", three dragons flying and phoenixes dancing.

Seeing Han Yu's shocked face, Wu Le smiled slightly and took a few steps forward, turned around and shouted, and the two stepped over the bluestone steps of the ninth step, which was about six inches high, and came to the front of the main hall.

A slightly chubby man in his sixties was dressed in a red robe and holding a whisk in his hand, and behind him was neatly followed by ten little eunuchs, dressed in arrow-cloth robes, tied with white jade hooks and black belts, all bowing their heads and making respectful appearances.

"Slave Lin Wan knocked to see the Martial Immortal Master. The chubby man knelt on the ground and said sharply, and the little eunuchs behind him also knelt down in unison.

"No courtesy!" Wu Le said lightly.

The big and small eunuchs stood up when they heard this, and Wu Le pointed to Han Yu on the side and said, "This is Han Immortal Master, I want to come to the imperial study to read some books, and you will serve me well." If there is any negligence, I will let the emperor skin you!"

"Wow!" the red-robed man glanced at Han Yu in awe and said respectfully, but a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes.

Han Yu also noticed that this person had no Adam's apple and a pale face, obviously a eunuch. Wearing a red robe means that this person's status among the eunuchs is not low.

"Brother Han, I'm still in a bit of a hurry, so I won't accompany you in. Wu Le turned his head and said apologetically.

Han Yu closed the folding fan in his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu!"

"Haha, I hope Brother Han can join Tianba Gate. In this way, we are brothers in the same door!" Wu Le said with a smile with a narrowing of his eyes.

"I'll think about it seriously!" Han Yu said with a solemn face.

Wu Le nodded after hearing this, turned to leave, and soon disappeared into the depths of the corridor.

"Han Xianshi, the old slave is the chief eunuch in the palace, and he is usually responsible for sorting out the books in the imperial study. The red-robed eunuch bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Grandpa Lin, take me in first. Han Yu nodded and said with a smile.

"Chirp!" Gonggong Lin waved the dust in his hand, followed the little eunuch behind him respectfully out of the way, and he bent down to lead Han Yu into the main hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall, a stream of ink fragrance poured into his nose, and Han Yu couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he looked at it.

I saw that in the wide hall there were rows of bookshelves painted with red paint, the bookshelves were about one zhang high and five zhang long, and a layer of wooden boards was placed every three feet three, and the books were neatly piled up on them.

And there are more than 200 such bookshelves in the main hall.

Han Yu was slightly stunned, and Gonggong Lin said to Han Yu respectfully: "Master Han Xian, please come with the old slave." ”

Han Yu frowned slightly, and followed the red-robed eunuch towards the corner of the main hall.

Gonggong Lin put down the dust in his hand and pressed a mechanism, only to hear a slight vibration, revealing a downward stone ladder.

Gonggong Lin found a lantern from the corner again, carried it and walked down the stone stairs, and Han Yu followed without thinking.

After walking for about two feet, Han Yu saw that the basement floor was the same as the ground, and the shelves were full of books, but the area was slightly smaller.

"Master Han Xian, there are still two floors of space down, which are full of books, and the old slave will take you there now. Gonggong Lin said respectfully.

Han Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect that there were so many books in the imperial study, I am afraid that there were millions of them!

"No need, Grandpa Lin. Han Yu shook his head, and then asked, "I don't know if there are books?"

"Returning to the Immortal Master, there are books on the first row of bookshelves on the first floor. Lin Gonggong replied respectfully.

Han Yu nodded and motioned for him to return to the ground first, and Han Yu followed.

Gong Lin closed the mechanism, then put the lantern out aside, and stood aside respectfully with a whisk in his hand, obviously waiting for Han Yu to speak.

"Grandpa Lin, I don't know where there are books about ancient characters, I want to go and take a look. Han Yu thought about it and said with a smile.

"Master Han, please come with me. Father-in-law Lin shook off the dust and bowed his waist to lead the way in front.

Gonggong Lin led Han Yu to the middle of the first row of bookshelves, pointed to the books on it and said, "This is the bibliography of ancient characters. ”

Han Yu's scalp was a little numb, and he politely arched his hand and said, "Can you please ask my father-in-law to take out all the books about ancient characters for me, I won't treat your father-in-law badly." ”

"It is an honor for the minions to serve the immortal master. Father-in-law Lin stammered again.

"Immortal Master Han, please come to me. Gonggong Lin bent down and brought Han Yu to a full Nanmu desk, on which was a complete set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Gonggong Lin brought over a teapot and made Han Yu a cup of white misty spiritual tea.

Han Yu nodded and smiled, then took a sip gently.

"Good tea!" Han Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he opened his mouth to praise.

As soon as this tea is in the stomach, the slightly hot tea water feels the coolness of the ice and snow in the throat, flows into the abdomen and slowly rises, flowing to the limbs, and the fragrance between the lips and the tongue is incomparable, and there is an endless aftertaste.

When Gonggong Lin heard this, a smile welled up on his face: "This is the Xueyan tea that the Northern Cold City paid tribute to the emperor, and it is only three catties a year, and its value is more precious than that gold." ”

Han Yu nodded slightly when he heard this, this spiritual tea is slightly stronger than the spiritual tea of "Yuzhuxuan", it seems that he will be able to have a good mouth this month.

After Gonggong Lin finished speaking, he commanded the ten little eunuchs to take the books on the shelves in an orderly manner according to the bibliography.

As soon as he drank a cup of tea, a little eunuch came running over with a pale yellow book.

Han Yu perked up, took the book and flipped through it, and saw that it was not the ancient text he requested, so he asked the little eunuch to put it back on the bookshelf.

.....

Wu Le left the imperial study, but did not leave the palace, but came to the lake and flew towards the pavilion in the middle.

One of these two Lake Pavilions belonged to the Heavenly Tyrant Gate, and the other belonged to the Blood Spirit Society, and the two largest forces in Xuanhuang City had sent several foundation building monks to jointly guard the safety of the palace.

In Xuanhuang City, there are also several masters of the Yudan period, if there is an invasion of Yuanying-level masters, they will join forces to open the super forbidden array to guard the palace.

Wu Le flew to the front of the pavilion, and when he saw an old man in gray clothes, he didn't dare to disturb him, pushed open the door of the attic and walked in.

Walking to the second floor, a man with an elegant face was meditating and cultivating, and opened his eyes when he heard footsteps.

"Senior Brother Wu?" The man saw that Wu Le was slightly excited, stood up and asked, "Could it be that you changed guards in advance?"

"Senior Brother Liu, you can't stand it after only two years of coming?" Wu Le quipped with a smile.

The man with an elegant face sighed and complained: "Every day I stay in this Moon Immortal Pavilion, I am almost suffocated to death, and I can't retreat and cultivate yet, I spend my days here like a year." ”

"Haha, junior brother, don't worry. I'm here to ask you to keep an eye on the little monk who has just laid the foundation. It doesn't take long, it's only a month, if he joins Tianbamen, let him replace Senior Brother Liu's position. Wu Le explained with a smile.

"That's really good!" said the elegant man with a smile on his face.

"Is there something wrong with this person?" the elegant man's face suddenly became a little solemn, and he asked.

"No problem, but he's looking through the books in the study. The imperial study is too close to the emperor's position, so it has to be guarded against. Wu Le patiently explained.

As soon as these words came out, the elegant man's heart was even more puzzled.

"What is a monk in the foundation building period doing in the imperial study? There are no exercises in it, so it doesn't seem to have much effect on us monks, right?" said the elegant man with a frown.

"This guy is a nerd. You keep an eye on it carefully, lest he have any other plan to assassinate the emperor. Wu Le advised.

"No problem. The elegant man nodded, followed Wu Le and left the Lake Center Hall together, flying towards the palace.

When they left, the discouraged old man opened his somewhat cloudy eyes, shook his head slightly, and walked into the hall step by step.

.....

Time flies, three days pass in the blink of an eye.

The little eunuchs in the imperial study looked a little tired, but they were full of energy, and they trotted to bring the books, and when they found that something was wrong, they put them back on the bookshelf.

The reason why they are full of enthusiasm is not that Han Yu is respected by them, but that they are paid ten taels of silver a day.

Han Yu knew that if he wanted people to work hard, he had to give them a little sweetness, so he asked them to stop on the first day and gave the little eunuchs ten taels of silver.

Of course, the remuneration for Gonggong Lin is calculated separately, and Han Yu gives him two taels of gold every day.

The next day, before the sun rose, a group of eunuchs got up and began to get busy, except for eating, drinking, and paying respects, the rest of the time was either on the way to get the books from the shelves, or on the way to put the books back on the shelves.

Han Yu sat on the Taishi chair and drank tea, opened the book to confirm whether it was the Lingwen he was looking for, but he was busy for three whole days, and he still found nothing.

By the fifth day, the little eunuchs were at their limit, both physically and mentally. So Han Yu said that they would rest for a day, and he drank tea with Grandpa Lin.

"Gonggong Lin, what kind of books are in the imperial study?" Han Yu took a sip of spiritual tea and asked with a smile.

Gonggong Lin put down the dust, took a sip of fragrant tea lightly, and said with a smile: "Han Xianshi's question is really embarrassing for the old man, but according to the previous generations of managers, the collection of books in the imperial study is no less than five million volumes. ”

Han Yu nodded slightly when he heard this number, Xuanhuang City deserves to be the capital, and the collection of books crushes all the City Lord's Mansions, and the background is really profound.

"By the way, Gonggong Lin, I don't know if you know this kind of ancient text?" Han Yu thought for a moment, took out a brush stained with some ink, and drew the simplest text in his mind on the white paper.

Gonggong Lin, who was drinking tea, glanced at it curiously, and was shocked, and all the tea in his mouth squirted out.
