Chapter 16 The Great World
Zhu Yiwen, like Han Ming, didn't know too many words, so he took Ping'er and Lan'er Nan'er to read to him together.
He frowned for a while, smiled happily for a while, and showed a thoughtful expression for a while, but all kinds of expressions came again.
"Senior brother, there are so many, they all sound so powerful, I don't know which one to choose. Zhu Yiwen showed a distressed expression.
Han Ming smiled bitterly in his heart, where did he have time to practice other exercises, even if he spent all his sleep time cultivating, it was not enough.
He spent most of his day cultivating the nameless spell, and although it didn't help, he wouldn't give up no matter what. He still has to spend a lot of time cultivating the Na Yuan Gong that Hua Lao handed over to him, this Na Yuan Gong was passed on to him by Hua Lao, and it seems to be related to the removal of Cecilia Blood's blood poison, which can not be given up.
And he also has to practice a set of Huayuan swordsmanship, otherwise he won't even be able to enter the door of swordsmanship, this set of swordsmanship is the only kung fu that can significantly increase his strength, unlike the nameless magic and Nayuan Gong, so he will not give up.
After the three sets of exercises, Han Ming couldn't wait to eat or eat, and all the time was used for cultivation, where did he get the time to practice other kung fu!.
The reason why Han Ming came to the tower was just to accompany Zhu Yiwen, and of course to satisfy his curiosity.
"Senior brother, don't be in a hurry to choose first, go up to the tower and have a look, maybe there are other better kung fu!" Han Ming couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw Zhu Yiwen holding a large pile of books.
"Yes, Young Master Yiwen go up to the tower, there are some powerful swordsmanship there" At this time, the steward in the tower also came upstairs and said respectfully to Zhu Yiwen.
Zhu Yiwen seemed to remember something when he heard it, so he walked to a wooden table to the side and put the books on it, and Lan'er immediately stepped forward and began to sort out the books.
"Do you have any Qingsi Sword Technique that my Uncle Huang has cultivated? My junior brother and I want to practice it after we have laid a good foundation for Huayuan Sword Technique. Zhu Yiwen turned to look at the attendants in the library pavilion.
The library pavilion attendant couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhu Yiwen call someone Uncle Huang, but he immediately understood after thinking about it.
"There is a green silk sword technique, on the eighth floor of the tower, I will take the two young masters there. The attendant bowed his head and smiled slightly.
Han Ming and Zhu Yiwen went back and forth on the eighth floor of the tower, and it took a long time to choose another set of invisible swordsmanship that matched the Qingsi Sword Technique.
As for the invisible sword duel he chose, he was going to replace the Huayuan sword technique after laying the foundation of swordsmanship with the Huayuan sword duel, the invisible sword and the green silk sword technique complemented each other, but it would not take up more time.
According to the introduction, after the invisible sword is refined to Dacheng, the thin three-inch willow leaf sword can be hidden invisible with the help of the principle of light and darkness, which makes people unguardable and can kill people invisibly.
Most of the other kung fu requires more than ten years of hard work to achieve, but this invisible sword can only take five or six years to achieve a small success, which is also the reason why Han Ming fell in love with this sword technique at a glance.
And the reason why Zhu Yiwen chose the invisible sword duel was that Han Ming chose this sword technique, and he wanted to choose the same kung fu as Han Ming.
At first, Zhu Yiwen was quite excited, but the books here were similar, and he was still quite unreadable, so he seemed a little interested after a while.
"Senior brother, you don't have anything to choose, it's so boring here, let's go!" Zhu Yiwen fiddled with the cuffs with both hands, looking very bored.
Han Ming had the same feeling as Zhu Yiwen, it was quite fresh when he first arrived here, but after turning around, people who didn't know martial arts would feel bored.
"Senior brother, we can't read here anyway, let's go to another tower and take a look, maybe we can find some interesting books, there shouldn't be some books we can't read. Han Ming pointed to a small wooden bridge on the right side.
This small wooden bridge presents a black color and black charcoal appearance, but the density of the wooden bridge is not as loose as charcoal, on the contrary, the texture of the wooden bridge looks very hard, revealing a heavy feeling.
Han Ming couldn't help but be stunned when he first saw this wooden bridge, but he immediately remembered the wooden bridges between the two book collections, and he guessed that this was the passage between the two library towers. When he got closer, he exclaimed, and sure enough, the small wooden bridge connected to the library tower on the other side.
"Okay, let's go, let's go have a look, and if there's nothing interesting to do, we'll leave from another tower. A smile appeared on Zhu Yiwen's face as soon as he saw the small wooden bridge, and he took Han Ming's shoulder and walked in the direction of the small wooden bridge.
The three maids behind the two and the steward of the library tower naturally did not dare to slack off, and followed the footsteps of the two of them and walked on the small wooden bridge to the library tower next to them.
Han Ming still looked around, and he found that the books in this tower were several times larger than the one that housed martial arts secrets, and the floors were filled with tall bookshelves, and each bookshelf was also full of books.
There are many more incense burners emitting white smoke here than in the previous one, and there is a good smell throughout the floor.
Zhu Yiwen saw that the layout here was very different from the previous one, and his curiosity was great again, and he went around, picking up this book and picking up that book for a while.
Han Ming saw that Zhu Yiwen kept looking for books, and he was afraid that he wouldn't think of him for a while, so he gently called the attendants in the tower beside him.
The attendant who was waiting beside him immediately approached and leaned over to look at Han Ming with a respectful expression.
Han Ming whispered a few words to the attendant, and the attendant took Han Ming away without alerting Zhu Yiwen, who was looking for a book.
After a while, Han Ming was taken to the fifth floor of the tower, where the layout was very similar to the eighth floor, and the bookshelves were also full of books, and there were also some wooden boxes of different sizes on the shelves.
After a few words with Han Ming, the attendant turned around and went to a bookshelf in the corner to find something, there were many books on the shelf, and this attendant couldn't find anything immediately.
Han Ming looked around, and he saw a table and a few chairs not far away, and a small palm-sized incense burner on the table was emitting green smoke.
Han Ming was also not polite, walked to the table and chair in a few steps, and then sat down on the chair and began to wait quietly. He seemed quite calm, but no one knew the apprehension in his heart at this time.
The attendant buried his head in searching for a long time before he found a large roll of paper and a one-foot-long wooden box from the bookshelf, and then he showed a relieved expression, and then walked quickly towards Han Ming.
"Young Master Ming, the maps in the library are all here, young master, take a look. The attendant placed the wooden box and the roll of paper on the table.
"Okay, I may not understand it, you can explain it for me. Han Ming couldn't help but feel a little excited and a little nervous when he saw that large volume of maps.
As soon as the attendant heard this, he immediately untied the thin thread tied to the map, placed it in front of Han Ming, and slowly pushed it away, while he himself walked behind Han Ming.
"Young Master Ming, this is our map of Wu Kingdom, thirteen states, two hundred and sixty-three prefectures, and Xuanjing, and we are on the edge of the 100,000 mountains on the edge of Qingrong Mansion in Luzhou. The attendant had been explaining to Han Ming from a location on the map.
When fully opened, the map is very large, a foot long, with extremely detailed drawings on it, and each location is annotated in small print.
Han Ming lay on the map and watched carefully, and couldn't help but flash a trace of sadness in his heart, because he saw an official road on the edge of Jingzhou, a small city on the edge of the official road, and he recognized this as the small city where Ruyi Restaurant was located.
Han Ming sighed silently in his heart, a trace of sadness in his eyes, but after a while, his eyes were extremely firm.
Han Ming looked away from Jingzhou with some reluctance, and he began to work hard to keep in mind the distribution of several states and counties to the east of Luzhou.
Somehow, Han Ming's memory was very good, and in less than a cup of tea, he had firmly memorized the general information of the states and counties on the map.
"Something else, like some neighboring countries near the country of Wu. Han Ming said casually.
"Young Master Ming, there is, but it won't be as detailed as the map of our Wu country" The attendant opened the small wooden box on the table, took out a dozen pieces of paper from it, and then looked through it carefully, and from time to time picked out some and put them in front of Han Ming.
Han Ming naturally picked up those maps and looked at them carefully, but after looking through a number of them, he showed a disappointed look.
"Is there a bigger one that includes several countries at once?" Han Ming raised his head and looked at the squire.
"Yes, young master, wait a minute. The attendant quickly flipped through the paper in his hand, and after a while, he picked out a folded map from it and handed it to Han Ming.
Han Ming took the map and looked down slowly.
This map is centered on the country of Wu, and dozens of surrounding countries are shrouded in it, it is precisely because there are many countries involved, so this map is not fine, and it can even be said to be crudely made, but Han Ming stared at this map deadly, as if he wanted to find something on it.
Han Ming looked back and forth for a short time, but when he raised his head, there was a loss in his eyes.
"And are there some bigger maps, this one is a bit small. Han Ming quickly hid the loss in his eyes, and then looked up at the attendant.
The attendant was still a little dissatisfied when he saw Han Ming, and he was quite surprised in his heart, it was already the most extensive map in the tower, but he didn't expect that this young master with a different surname was still too small.
"It's no bigger, Young Master Ming wants to know how big this world is, maybe I know some!" the attendant said respectfully.
Han Ming was a little disappointed at first when he heard the attendant's words, but after hearing the attendant's words, he was a little surprised, he sat up, and motioned for the attendant to continue.
The squire put the map down in his hand and scratched his head as if he didn't know where to start, but he thought for a moment and began to speak slowly.
"Legend has it that this world is very big, and the southernmost part is a big prairie, and this grassland is so big that no one has ever gone to the end. In the far west is a large desert, behind which is an endless tundra, so cold that it is impossible to live in. There was a large crack tens of thousands of zhang wide in the far north, and no one could pass through it. The easternmost side is the legendary Black Sea, the water in the Black Sea is black, and there are no living creatures, the Black Sea has no boundary, no one can cross the sea, this is mostly folk rumors. ”
Later, the attendant said a lot, but only a few of them were really useful to Han Ming. Although it was not very useful, Han Ming still wrote them down, feeling that he might not be able to use them when.
