Chapter 32: Truth First
In Yangjiazhuang, Apricot Blossom Forest, the gray-clothed young man walked into the largest dilapidated house in the village.
"Duan Gongzi and his wife are really mysterious. ”
Qin Dynasty and Guo Yuanyuan rented the backyard of Yang Heliang's house, and they didn't go out almost all day, Yang Heliang once found an excuse to visit, but Qin Dynasty and Guo Yuanyuan didn't stop him from peeping at him with a smile.
"The two couples write all day long, and the paper in the room is piled up, and the paintings written are neither danqing nor pure poetry and prose. Yang Heliang is also a scholar who has read a lot of books, and his family used to open a bookstore, so he is naturally literate, but he doesn't even know a lot of words written on paper in the Qin Dynasty and Guo Yuanyuan.
"Obviously, they are not practicing calligraphy, but their calligraphy is ......"
Yang Heliang didn't know how to appreciate the artistic value of calligraphy, but the occasional glimpse made him feel amazing, just like suddenly seeing a fairy descending to earth, that kind of glance went deep into his mind, making people have an extremely pleasant feeling, which he still can't forget.
"Calligraphy is the most to the sage of calligraphy Wang Xizhi, I don't know what the calligraphy of the two kings is like, I think it's like them. ”
Yang Heliang has always thought that his words are already very good, and he thinks that those posted in Tianlong Temple are real calligraphy masterpieces, but after reading the words of Qin Dynasty and Guo Yuanyuan, he found that those are a little worse.
"Not only the two of them, but also the monk who served them turned out to be a monk, that monk is a cultivator, I remember that the younger generation of Tianlong Temple is a cultivator, could it be that the monk is from Tianlong Temple? There are also those elusive protectors, especially the son who is ......so beautiful" Yang Heliang couldn't help but be in a trance when he thought of Pian Miaoyu.
"It's demon-possessed. How could I like ......" Yang Heliang shook his head and expelled the figure of Miaoyu from his mind.
The dilapidated house is very clean.
"A scholarly family, my Yang family was originally a scholarly family, but because of the bookstore. Completely defeated. Yang Heliang picked up a broom and cleaned the house in the courtyard, and there were old and tall wooden boards in the house, and these wooden boards were engraved with words, which were the engravings used to print books back then. Yang Heliang touched the engraving, and a scene appeared in his mind in a trance.
An old man with a wrinkled face and gray hair who did not look like he was eighty, but also ninety, was lying on the bed and dying.
"It's all me. I am an unscrupulous descendant of the Yang family, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't have the face to see my ancestors when I die......"
The old man's lips trembled and he muttered to himself. Old tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Shusheng, promise me, promise to be a father, definitely. Be sure to ...... this bookstore" The old man died.
"Father. Child, child will definitely run the bookstore well. A middle-aged man beside the bed cried bitterly, and the child at the middle-aged man's feet also cried.
The old man is Yang Heliang's grandfather who is less than fifty years old, and the middle-aged man is Yang Heliang's father, Yang Shusheng, who is only thirty-two years old, and the child is Yang Heliang himself. After the old man died, Yang Shusheng worked hard to realize the old man's last words. I tried my best to keep the bookstore going, but my luck was not good. Huitian was powerless, not only did he not run the bookstore well, but he almost exhausted the last bit of surplus wealth and land of the Yang family.
Due to overwork and depression in his heart, Yang Shusheng left before he was forty, and before he went, he took Yang Heliang's hand, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.
"Dad, I know what you think. Yang Heliang touched the carved plates, and his heart was painful, "My son is not good!"
If you don't have money, how dare you run a bookstore?
Even if he has money, with the lessons of his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Yang Heliang does not dare to throw this money into the bottomless pit of the bookstore.
"You're here!"
The voice sounded, and a figure appeared beside Yang Heliang at some point.
"Ah, pity...... Pity the son!"
"Let's go, Duan Gongzi will let you go. Pian Miaoyu flew away and disappeared into the room.
In the backyard of the Yang family, Qin Chao looked at the preface of the booklet "On Qi" in his hand.
"Chao Xiaozen is quite righteous, and this preface is praised...... It's really exaggerated, but to print books, this Dali doesn't have a serious printing office. ”
"It looks like you'll have to do it yourself. Qin Chao recalled the knowledge of printing in his mind.
"To develop science and technology, printing must go ahead in order to spread knowledge...... the role of movable type printing is known to everyone in later generations, it is precisely because of his great role that printing has become one of the four great inventions of ancient times, and not others, it can be said that the invention of lead movable type printing has played a huge role in the rapid development of Western science and technology.
"Speaking of which, Bi Sheng's invention of movable type printing is in this era. ”
Although there is already Bi Sheng's movable type printing in this era, but this kind of printing is only written by Shen Kuo in the book, and has not been promoted, in fact, even if it is promoted, it is not taken seriously, and the end of the Song Dynasty is the golden age of engraving printing, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, although there is occasional movable type printing, but the mainstream has always been the world of engraving printing.
It can be said that movable type printing really became the mainstream in China, and the alternative carved plate was introduced to China after the lead movable type printing in the West was introduced to China, which was the late Qing Dynasty.
"Ancient China's movable type printing is simply not good, only the implementation of lead movable type printing, in order to really improve efficiency, and lead movable type printing technology ...... I remember that the movable type was made of lead, tin, antimony...... The ink is made of animal fat......"
Why is it that the founder of modern printing is Gutenberg instead of Bi Sheng, and why is it not other movable type printing in ancient China? Why did ancient movable type printing not replace engraving printing in China until lead movable type printing was introduced. Because of lead movable type printing, there are heavy improvements in movable type materials, word-making methods, inks and printing presses, which really makes the efficiency rise significantly, far from Bi Sheng's half-tone is not as good as movable type printing, and the movable type printing in the ancient Song Dynasty, Ming and Qing dynasties can be expected.
It is not enough to use movable type printing, only to really take the lead movable type printing invented in the West.
Not long after, the backyard of the Yang family.
"Duan Gongzi, you ...... Call me?" Yang Heliang said, his eyes looking at Qin Chao's side, and beside Qin Chao stood a middle-aged tall and thin man. "Young Master Yang, I wrote some books. I want to publish. "Publishing a book?" Yang Heliang frowned. "Duan Gongzi, although my Yang family used to run a bookstore, it has long been out of business. I'm afraid ......"
"Listen to me. Qin Chao raised his hand to interrupt Yang Heliang's words, "I want to simply build a bookstore, so I want to find someone, don't you just happen to see that you have free time, how about it, go to my bookstore to do things." "This ...... I ...... at the bookstore" Yang Heliang even wants to resign. "It's okay, you're just doing it. Do what He tells you to do. Qin Chao pointed to the middle-aged man beside him.
"But ......" Yang Heliang frowned, how big an industry his Yang family has. It was because of the bookstore that it failed. "Qin Gongzi, running a bookstore is a loss-making industry, and my ancestor is ......"
"It's okay, my Duan family doesn't have anything else. It's just a lot of money. If you don't find a way to defeat some, and you won't have the face to see your ancestors after death, isn't this just the right thing to see your Yang family because of running a bookstore...... Otherwise, I wouldn't be that ......," Qin Chao said with a smile. The corners of Yang Heliang's mouth twitched, and he was angry in his heart.
"In that case, then I would be more respectful than obedient. ”
......
After Yang Heliang left, Qin Chao looked at the middle-aged man beside him: "Brother Bi, I'll leave it to you as soon as I can." "Well said. The middle-aged man had a cold face. "It's all right. The temper is quite big. Qin Chao smiled bitterly in his heart, Bi Sheng was the inventor of the clay movable type. But it has been dead for decades, and the Qin Dynasty asked Shen Kuo to invite Bi Sheng's descendants to help build the bookstore because of his admiration for Bi Sheng, but he didn't expect that Bi Sheng's descendants didn't want to come to Dali at all, and they didn't want to go out, but because of Shen Kuo, Su Shi and others, they had to send someone to deal with it indiscriminately, and this person was Bi Neng in front of him, Bi Sheng's grandson.
"Click!"
There was a sound of branches snapping, and a gray shadow fell from among the shadows.
"Duan Gongzi, this is the letter that the Holy Lord asked me to hand over to you. The gray-robed old man held an ordinary envelope between his two thin fingers. Qin Chao nodded, connected the letter, and walked into the study to unfold. "Are they coming?" Qin Chao looked at the four names on the paper:
Dong Yanfeng!
Yue Shixian!
Master Nishiyama!
Ice, Snow!
"They're coming to preside over the triad. Two figures appeared in Qin Chao's mind, "Yue Shixian is the one who is with the Dragon God Palace Chengtian and Ziyang real person Zhang Borui, this cold ice and snow is the iceberg beauty with a mole on the corner of her mouth." "Two of these four people have been seen by the Qin Dynasty at the bottom of the Leifeng Tower.
"Wanhe, it can be regarded as the highest level of verification of martial arts achievements. ”
......
When the Qin Dynasty received the letters, one letter after another also flew from the Great Song Dynasty to Dali City.
Li Shiqi walked in the lobby.
"The cold ice and snow are coming, to preside over the Wanhe. Li Shiqi's eyes were full of excitement, "In this Tianlong Temple, we can only do Lily if we gather all our strength, even if the Lily is correct, those loyal Confucian lackeys will not be convinced, now it's okay, if there is no mistake in the nature of evil under Wanhe......"
Li Shiqi walked to the center of the lobby: "Everyone, stop." ”
In this hall, the people who were checking the lily stopped their pens.
"I tell you a good news, on the same day, there will be a big man from the Great Song Dynasty to my Dali Tianlong Temple, to hold a Wanhe verification for this sexual evil, and the time will be ......."
......
Cheers erupted, and then Li Shiqi announced that the lily was temporarily suspended.
Dali City Guo Xuzhen Mansion.
"What does Lord Meng think? Guo Xuzhen looked at the letter in his hand and frowned, and suddenly smiled, "It's okay, there must be a mistake between good and evil, and human nature is inherently good, although my disciple has taken it back, but looking at his appearance, he is unrepentant, and he still believes that he is right. ”
Guo Xuzhen put the letter on the high shelf and walked out of the study humming a song.
The hall of the secret office of the backyard of Mengshusheng.
One by one, they looked at the letter in their hands, and their faces were not good-looking.
"Are the people above crazy?"
"They are so confident in the goodness of nature, they are not afraid that my Confucianism will ...... from now on."
"These wine bags and rice bags have taken the wrong medicine, and they are going to self-destruct their future......"
......
"True gold is not afraid of fire refining, could it be that the nature of the good has also been carried out before? Could it be that they are 100% sure that the nature of the evil must be wrong, so they dare to hold the Wanhe meeting so openly?" Meng Shusheng was at a loss in his heart.
......
The battle of the fundamental concept cannot tolerate the slightest mistake, especially at the time of the collapse of the aura, the truth first, the concept second, so it is easy for the Buddha, Tao, Confucianism and the hundred schools of thought to reach an agreement, send representatives into the Tianlong Temple to carry out the meeting of Wanhe, the nature of the evil, the nature of the good right or wrong, who is high and who is low to a thorough investigation, to clear the source.
