Chapter 7: The Shocking Collection
Kiyun Pavilion.
Chen Yuan stood outside the gate, subconsciously took out the token from his arms, and secretly thought in his heart, this time he came to this library pavilion not for reward. When I didn't enter the courtyard before, in the month after the rebirth, I had read all the books in the Liyuan Temple, and I thought that I was quite knowledgeable, but I didn't expect that after entering the inner courtyard, I didn't know what I heard and watched, and I couldn't help but feel secretly distressed.
When I thought like this, one foot had already stepped into the pavilion.
"Stop!" A crisp cheer came, and I saw a pigtailed boy hurrying from the side, "Who are you?
When Chen Yuan heard this, he stopped his body and thought: Today is already three o'clock in the afternoon, if it were according to the library in the previous life, I am afraid that the door would have been opened at this time, but what is going on with this Cloud Pavilion? Although Chen Yuan was puzzled, he still politely said to the boy: "I received the errand here from the Contribution Hall, I don't know that the pavilion has not been opened yet, I am offended, and I still hope to Haihan!" As he spoke, he shook the errand token in his hand and let the boy see it.
Seeing that Chen Yuan was so polite and had a token with him, the boy's originally angry heart gradually calmed down, and he saluted Chen Yuan and said, "Since the Dao Leader is here to apply, then please come with me, and I will take you to see Elder Shang." ”
"That's great!"
Chen Yuan followed the boy into the back door of the pavilion, passed by a clearing in the courtyard, and saw stacks of books spread on the flat ground, illuminated by the sun. Seeing that the boy took him around a few more times, he stood in front of the door of a house before he turned around and said to Chen Yuan: "The Taoist chief will wait here for a while, and I will go in and report one or two." ”
After a while, the boy poked his head out of the door and whispered again: "Dao Chief, Elder Shang is still resting, and it is inconvenient to come out. However, Elder Shang said that if the Taoist can restore the books in the courtyard according to the mark, then the Taoist can stay, if not, then please go back......" As soon as he finished speaking, the boy closed the door, leaving Chen Yuan alone.
This huge library is so quiet at this time!
Chen Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard what the boy said, thinking that this Elder Shang had such a big heart, he actually let an outsider move books at will, even if it was to test himself, wouldn't he be afraid that he would break the books or steal the exercises? Chen Yuan didn't think that the boy was lying, but a mere boy, he didn't have the courage to deceive an inner court disciple!
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Yuan moved to the open space in the courtyard again, and the books he had posted before meeting were almost all over the open space, and it was estimated that there were no less than thousands of them, which really gave Chen Yuan a headache. Chen Yuan took out a book from the ground, investigated it carefully, and saw that at the lower left foot of the cover of the book, there was a line of small characters engraved - Tianzi is sixteen on the second row.
"Could this be the mark that the boy said?" Chen Yuan guessed, and immediately set off to the Qiyun Pavilion to confirm it, and sure enough, after a while, Chen Yuan found the corresponding place according to the mark. Chen Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, since he knew the effect of this mark, then things would be much easier.
However, Chen Yuan did not immediately move the book, but took out the jade bead from his arms, put it in his mouth, turned around in this cloud pavilion, and walked to the second floor, but found that the door was locked and he was not allowed to enter, and he had a slight guess in his heart, so he turned around and went back. After some exploration, I quickly memorized the layout of this cloud pavilion, and realized that the first floor of this cloud pavilion was divided into four large frames: heaven, earth, Xuan and Huang, each of which was divided into eighteen rows, and there were three layers up and down each row, the number was upper, middle and lower, such as this book in Chen Yuan's hand, it should be stored in the sixteenth book on the upper second row of the sky shelf.
After understanding this joint, Chen Yuan did not waste time and returned to the courtyard again.
"The Tale of a Hundred Things" - twenty-five in the eight rows of Xuanzi;
"The Legend of Taoist Wangshi" - four yellow characters and fourteen under the row;
"Open Pulse Xiaoyao" - Tianzi eleven is thirty-two in a row;
"Observing and Seeing Color" - fifty in the second row of ground characters;
......
As Chen Yuan sorted the books one by one, he also found that there were no cultivation exercises he wanted, only some books on the explanation of all things and secular martial arts, etc., no wonder this Shang Yun could take care of the books by himself so confidently. He sighed secretly in his heart, and then thought of the locked second floor in the Cloud Pavilion. Also, if it's a cultivation exercise, how can it be so bad that it has to be released to dry, then on the second floor, there must be a cultivation method that you want to see.
Although he thought of it like this, Chen Yuan was not discouraged, the books in front of him were also very beneficial to himself at this time, and when he first entered the cultivation, of course, the more he knew, the better. So, in just half an hour, with the help of Yuzhu, Chen Yuan quickly sorted the books into categories, and then took out one from the side and quickly flipped through it.
......
Two hours later, in another place in this courtyard, Shang Yun opened the door, pinched his fingers and calculated the time, at this time it was already Yinshi, thinking in his heart, he didn't know if this disciple who came to take the errand was reliable, if he was as clumsy as the previous disciples, see if he didn't give him a little color!
So Shang Yun paced to the courtyard, and when he reached the open space, he saw a book lying on the ground, and in the book arch sat a young Taoist priest holding a book and bowing his head to read carefully. Shang Yun couldn't help but look angry when he saw that a book was not placed in the pavilion, so he waved his sleeves and shouted at the young man: "You kid!
Chen Yuanzheng was reading it, and naturally he didn't notice Shang Yun's arrival, but when he was drunk by this Shang Yun, he immediately broke off his thoughts and raised his head.
Seeing that the person who came was about fifty or sixty years old, with black beard and tiger eyes, and an extremely stern face, Chen Yuan thought in his heart, presumably this must be Elder Shang Yunshang, so he got up and bowed, and said to Elder Shang: "Elder Shang is a little calm, disciple Chen Yuan, he only entered the courtyard recently, and when he heard that Elder Shang wanted to wave his hand, he came Xingxing, hoping to see the elder's true face." ”
"Oh, are you the Chen Yuan who climbed the Dao Cliff and was accepted as a registered disciple by the peak master?" Shang Yun heard this, and secretly looked at Chen Yuan, seeing that this son was polite and generous, he also nodded slightly, but when he thought of this son reading in the courtyard and doing nothing, he was angry and said: "Even if you are a registered disciple, since you have taken on an errand, why don't you do things well, and study here? Don't you think that you are a registered disciple of the peak master, and the old man can't handle you!"
Elder Shang was not angry, and listened to his disciple's words. Chen Yuan was angry by this Shang Yun, his face was still calm and comfortable, he straightened his sleeves, and wanted to say.
Shang Yun saw that Chen Yuan had something to say, so he waved his sleeves, stuck it in his back, snorted, and stood aside, secretly wanting to hear what else this son had to explain!
"Elder Shang, the disciples are not just studying here, the disciples have already divided the books into one side according to their respective marks, but seeing that it is early in the day and there is still enough daylight, he secretly made up his mind to let these books be exposed again, and hoped that the elder would forgive the disciples for their own opinions. Chen Yuan's words fell, and he bowed deeply again.
When Shang Yun heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and he had some doubts in his heart, but when he looked at those books again, the doubts in his heart were dispelled, and he thought that this son had indeed classified these books into categories. So half of his anger disappeared, but he was still dissatisfied in his heart, and said: "That is the case, if the color is about to change today, why don't you move these books into the cabinet quickly?"
When Chen Yuan heard this, he thought to himself, this Elder Shang must still be angry in his heart, and wanted to consider whether he knew a thing or two about the layout in the Qiyun Pavilion, if he didn't put these books one by one as soon as possible, I am afraid that he would inevitably be punished.
"Elder Shang is right, the disciple knows" After Chen Yuan saluted, he immediately picked up the books and carried them to the pavilion, because he had already remembered the layout of the pavilion clearly, and the books had been divided, so Chen Yuan was also very fast. In a moment, the books in the open space in the courtyard were empty. Then, Chen Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and saluted to Na Shang Yun: "Elder Shang, the disciple has moved." ”
The process of Chen Yuan moving books was all in Shang Yun's eyes, and after calculating the time, it was only a moment, Shang Yun couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, but he still didn't believe it, so he ignored Chen Yuan on the side, and went straight into the Qiyun Pavilion, and when he saw that all kinds of books in the pavilion were placed in an orderly manner, he shook his head in surprise.
At this time, a loud voice came from outside the pavilion, "Elder Shang, from the disciple's point of view, these four big shelves on the first floor of the Cloud Pavilion are placed in the heavenly word for Taoism, the word for the earth is placed in the concept of law, the word for Xuan is placed in all things, and the yellow character is placed in Renjie, I don't know if the disciple's understanding is wrong, whether the placement is correct? I hope the elder will solve the doubts......
Shang Yun looked for prestige, this voice was from that Chen Yuan, and when he entered the pavilion, his robe was fluttering, his face was bright, and his momentum was overwhelming, Shang Yun couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and the trace of anger in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.
This son is usually generous and domineering, but as soon as someone forces him, he will be sharp and oppressive...... When Shang Yun thought like this, he was also very helpless, what Chen Yuan said just now was the reason why Xuanhuang placed books in this heaven and earth, and this placement was also correct, and he had nothing to correct for a while.
But as an elder, he couldn't lose his prestige in front of the juniors, so Shang Yun nodded and said to Chen Yuan: "Although you said that there are slight flaws, you are generally right...... It's neatly placed, and this errand of taking care of the library will be handed over to you from today onwards. As for the specifics, my boy will share them with you. As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Yun didn't stop long, and immediately turned around and left.
Chen Yuan didn't continue to ask, but bowed to Elder Shang's back and said goodbye.
