Chapter 130 New Year (4K)
"Collection of Du Gongbu" is named after Du Fu once served as a member of the Ministry of Engineering, Wailang. There are six volumes in the book, more than a thousand poems and more than thirty essays.
"What Mosi is pointing to seems to be not the book itself, but the pages of one of the volumes"
Li Ang opened the book, slightly loosened the restraint on the moss, made it emerge from the skin of the fingertips, and crawl towards the book in a meandering manner.
"found it."
Mosi finally locked on a page with the poem "Traveling in the Night Book",
Li Ang gently twisted the page with his fingers, and found that its thickness was thicker than other pages, as if multiple sheets of paper were glued together.
"Could it be."
Li Ang groaned and pulled out the dagger from his belt, used the blade to gently dig in and pry open the corners of the pages, and slowly tore apart the pages while pinching the two sides with both hands.
Wow—
After the two pages were separated, an old brown-yellow paper sandwiched inside was revealed.
Li Ang held the jade pendant around his waist with one hand, ready to activate the protective talisman at any time, and with the other hand, he took the paper out of the interlayer with tweezers and put it on the table.
The texture of the paper is similar to leather, and there is a cloud of cloudy ink on the surface. As the old paper is exposed to the air, the ball of ink is gradually activated, floating on the paper, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
"alienated substance"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows slightly. Inanimate objects that do not conform to common sense and have special performance are classified as [different].
There is no specific rule for the formation and production of heterogeneous species.
Some heterogeneous species are extremely dangerous, requiring the Academy and the Department of Prosecution to suppress and control them at all costs.
Such as iron rods that can continuously generate thunderstorms in the surrounding area;
Ivory chopsticks that can cause flesh and blood to fester and rot after contact with body fluids;
And let some heterogeneous species not cause much harm, such as a soft stone that can be used as a pillow,
Or a piece of twine submerged in sewage that will allow the water to be clarified quickly.
Just as Li Ang was thinking about what kind of alienated object this yellow paper was, and whether he should hand it over to the academy for storage,
The ink on the yellow paper gradually stabilized, turning into clear horizontal strokes and vertical strokes.
And these strokes are automatically pieced together to form lines of writing.
"The Great Wilderness Prisoner Sky Finger"
"Buddha's Wrath and Fire Lotus"
《Tianmo Gong》
"Huntian Treasure Mirror"
"???"
Li Ang looked at the names of the exercises and cheats on the paper, and couldn't help being dumbfounded. He picked up the paper and checked it repeatedly, and finally confirmed that these exercises and cheats only had names and no content.
"Title fraud, isn't it?"
Li Ang's eyes twitched, "Are you kidding me? What's the use of me wanting a bunch of exercises without content."
It seems that after hearing Li Ang's complaints, the handwriting on the paper changed again,
【Youth ○’s grades are not satisfactory】
Li Ang's head was full of black lines, "Stop it, this thing is useless."
【My name is Yang Jian, I will be dead when you read this sentence】
"A weird parchment, isn't it?"
Li Ang rubbed his forehead, the content of the handwriting on the yellow paper changed repeatedly, but what appeared were all things in Li Ang's own memory.
For example, the names of martial arts secret books, novels, pictures, and even Feiqian in denominations of one thousand and two thousand, the approval letter issued by Dr. Xuegong, etc.
It seems that this piece of paper will automatically present the text pattern that the observer himself wants to see?
What is this, a fully automatic reader, or a psychic card?
Li Ang shook his head, he already had a memory palace formed by memory fragments from other worlds in his mind,
Yellow paper can only reflect what is already in the mind of the observer, and cannot obtain information that does not exist by imagining or fabricating it out of thin air.
Therefore, it is impossible to present "a detailed strategy on how to quickly realize industrialization", or "the results of the next horse betting in Chang'an City", or to automatically write homework.
Not prophecy, not divination, just telepathy.
"According to the school's classification of heterogeneous, this [psychic paper] does not cause much direct harm to individuals or human society.
It's not the kind that will kill or hurt people after touching it.
Storage and control are relatively simple. It has been in the pages of the book for so many years and nothing happened.
It should be the same as the Nightmare Bell in Weizhou, which belongs to the fifth-level alienated object. "
Li Ang said silently: "The question is why Mosi is directional to it."
Before, Mosi only had the desire to devour gold, silver and special metals,
Even in the Library Pavilion of the Academy and outside the Dongjun Building, there is no direction to books or alienated objects.
"Could it be that this piece of paper was put into the book by the Sword Immortal himself?
These "Collections of Du Gongbu" were published in the tenth year of Dali, that is, the fifth year after Du Gongbu's death.
That Li Taibai and Du Gongbu are good friends and confidantes. From the point of view of time, after he returned from the endless sea, it is possible to put this alienated object into the "Du Gongbu Collection". "
Li Ang thought about it: "Because I missed my old friend, did you put the alienated objects that can reveal beautiful memories into the old friend's poetry collection?"
He paused for a moment, and suddenly thought: "Wait, if Mosi became directional because he smelled the breath on this alienated object,
Doesn't that mean that I can use this feature to find the rest of the alienated objects left by the Sword Immortal himself?
and even other clothes? "
"Master, it's time to eat."
Chai Chai’s voice came from outside the study,
"coming."
Li Ang put away the psychic paper and walked out of the study.
Judging from the experience during this period,
The powerful moss is fully qualified to be a first-class heterogeneous that is rare in number and can have a huge impact.
The secret treasures in the other tombs must not be far behind.
What's more, Mosi devours gold and silver without increasing its weight, which is particularly weird and weird. Let it parasitize in the body, always a little worried. It is best to find other relics and even suicide notes of Sword Immortal himself to find out the nature of Mosi.
——
Time flies, the end of the year is approaching, and the academy also gave the disciples a winter vacation.
Taking advantage of the holiday, Li Ang went to that bookstore again.
On the sidelines, I felt that the bookstore owner really didn't know the origin of those volumes of "Du Gongbu Collection", he only said that his deceased father had collected ancient books from Luoyang decades ago and had never sold them. Go—after all, "Du Gong Bu Ji" has a large amount of existence, even if it is an ancient book, there is not much market.
The clue was interrupted, so I had to enjoy the holiday.
He and Chai Cuiqiao spent the first New Year in Chang'an, and they felt okay.
On New Year’s Eve, Chang’an city has exorcism performances, similar to the carnival in the memory of other worlds. People wear masks and play ghosts, Nuo Weng and Nuo mothers. They dance while walking, playing and singing. Most of the lyrics describe how righteous humans beat up Demons and ghosts.
This is a custom handed down from ancient times, including in the palace.
In addition, every family will light a fire in the courtyard, which is called "Ting Liao", and throw firecrackers and worn-out brooms into it.
Throwing firecrackers is for fun, and throwing brooms is probably to entrust good wishes such as home safety.
But the first day of the new year is not so cool - all the middle and high-level bureaucrats in Chang'an have to go to the imperial city to participate in the grand court meeting in the morning of the first day of the new year.
Officials from various state capitals will come in person, or send deputies,
Including Jimi Prefecture far away on the border, and even dependent countries and neighboring countries, they all sent envoys to send gifts to congratulate them.
The whole process is also extremely cumbersome, and the prime minister reads the New Year's greetings, and the foreign envoy reads the greetings.
As the newly named magistrate, Li Ang also has to participate in this boring and lengthy event.
After finally getting through it, he was invited to the palace again to observe the new princes and daughters born this year.
"Your Majesty, the queen is also true, I am not some fairy Bodhisattva,
Is it necessary to hold those months-old babies in front of me, and let me pretend to boast that the babies are healthy? "
Li Ang, who walked out of the palace, couldn't help complaining to Yan Zhou, the eldest son of the Yan family (the grandson of Yan Yundang, the son of Yan Lin, who led the mansion around the prince of the East Palace).
Yan Zhou smiled bitterly helplessly, he didn't dare to talk about Emperor Yu behind his back, so he had to say: "Isn't it because His Majesty trusts you.
The folks already have a place for you to set up a shrine, so that you can give blessings to the newborn princes and daughters, so that you can feel at ease. "
"Ha, it's better to engrave my name on the longevity lock and wear it for the baby. I can use my name right to collect money while sitting at home."
Li Ang made a remark casually, and suddenly noticed the subtle expression on Yan Zhou's face, "Wait, no one in the folks has already done this, right?"
"Not only."
Yan Zhou said awkwardly: "I heard that there are some shops that sell your portrait and hang it on the wall of the mother's or midwife's home. But people have never seen what you look like, and the portraits try to make your face as pink as possible, and your lips as red as possible. style painting."
"this"
Li Ang opened his mouth, not knowing what to think.
Emotional self is now regarded as a friend of women, plus a baby protector?
Is this a little bit.
"That's right, Sunrise."
Yan Zhou suddenly whispered: "A year ago, His Majesty issued an edict to allow the East Palace to set up a school to collect and compile classics and books to teach students.
After a while, the school should be built soon. Do you want to come to watch the ceremony? "
"Watching the ceremony?"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows slightly. The Prince's East Palace itself is a small government, including Zhan Shifu, Zuochunfang, Youchunfang, Sijing Bureau, Yaozang Bureau, Prince Zuozhifu and other departments.
Small but complete,
After the crown prince takes office, he can quickly arrange a team to handle the government affairs.
Erxueguan, in name, collects and compiles classics and books, but in fact, it has an additional place where it can recruit counselors and place confidantes.
Yan Zhou served in the left and right of the Eastern Palace. He invited Li Ang to watch the ceremony. Naturally, it was not just to watch the ceremony, but to connect the prince and provide a chance for a private conversation.
"I may be busy in a while, I don't know if I have time."
Li Ang thought for a moment and replied.
He didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Prince Li Si and Fourth Prince Li Hui.
Emperor Yu's body is still very healthy, and he doesn't know that it will be the year of the monkey when the prince takes the throne.
As for the crown prince or prince, what conditions can they offer themselves?
Money?
Li Ang collects patent fees every month, and counting the money feels exhausting.
Official position?
Li Ang is studying in the Academy, but he can't really become an official.
Knighthood?
At his current age, the earldom of the county is already high enough, and there is no possibility of continuing to be granted the title in a short time.
Since the crown prince and prince can't give any conditions, why should Li Ang participate? It is impossible for the two princes to take two alienated items left by the sword fairy from the palace treasury and give them to him.
"Is that so, understand."
Yan Zhou nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Li Ang is a disciple of the Academy, so he has the right not to participate in the affairs of the East Palace. What's more, he still has a title, achievements, and a detached position.
Yan Zhou invited just now, and it was just a question.
The two rode on horseback across the Royal Bridge, passed through the Danfeng Gate, and left the Daming Palace.
Because Yan Zhou was going to work in the East Palace, the two parted outside the Danfeng Gate. Li Ang looked at Yan Zhou's leaving back and shook his head imperceptibly.
Sure enough, the decision to go to the academy no matter what, was the right decision.
Even if Yan Zhou is the eldest grandson of the Yan family and the future heir to the title,
It is inevitable to be forced to participate in the power struggle.
Only the Academy can transcend the world.
Li Ang pulled the reins and drove the horse away from Guangzhaifang.
The new year has just passed, and there is still a little smell of fireworks and firecrackers on the street.
In the courtyards of every household, there are still slender bamboo and wooden poles—long strip flags made of paper or cloth are hung on the poles, which are used to pray for blessings.
It seems that there are similar things in the memory of the foreign world,
It seems to be called. Carp floating?
Li Ang blinked his eyes, and planned to use the [Spiritual Paper] to find relevant information after returning home—the biggest function of the [Spiritual Paper] during this time is to help him find information in the memory bank, which is equivalent to a file search tool.
By the way, if the [psychic paper] is shown to ordinary people, the most likely thing is to turn it into a thousand or two thousand flying money.
And if the [psychic paper] is used to give a hint in words before taking out the [psychic paper], then the [psychic paper] may also be changed into a land deed, a house deed, and the like.
"Even a monk can't avoid the effect of the psychic paper.
Show it to the Jinwu Guards. In their eyes, the paper may become a pass token for the palace. "
Li Ang thought silently, "It's a pity that the material can only be paper, not wooden signs, jade pendants or more complicated things.
And the conversion frequency is also limited.
Cannot play continuous pictures like a TV. "
The world of memories from other worlds is an era of rich and diverse means of entertainment.
Having seen movies, TV and anime, it is difficult for Li Ang to be interested in the operas and dramas in Dongxifang City.
"I heard that there is a kind of alienated object in Dongjun Building that can enhance the effect of different types,
With the addition of psychic paper, maybe it can have the effect of TV."
Just as he was thinking, the moss under the robe was activated again, and there was a strong desire to devour, pointing to a certain building in the square city.
"Um?"
Li Ang subconsciously tightened the rein and stopped the horse.
Mosi pointed to the thirteenth mansion on the Second Street of Shengyefang.
The mansion covers a vast area and is luxurious. The flags and flags erected in the courtyard are also made of high-quality silk.
In addition, there are monks and Taoist priests who file into it.
Li Ang remained silent, got off his horse and came to the side of the road.
The thirteenth mansion in Shengyefang seemed to be doing some scripture chanting and worship activities, and the sound of singing could be faintly heard from inside.
"This old man, please ask, who is this family?"
Li Ang asked an old man who was watching by the side of the road. After asking, he found out that this family is still an official family, and they are praying for the old lady in the house.
