Chapter 223: Sorrowful Sacrifice, Poison Master Langya(1/3)
A small change may eventually lead to earth-shaking changes.
Yu Ziqing found the records and used the source of the earth to inspire the remaining Taoist charm, and the changes brought about are proceeding silently.
In Langya courtyard, sorting out the library and searching for the list of burned classics has almost been completed.
There are really too many burned classics. Looking at the previous catalogue, most of them can be saved because they are not orphaned or out-of-print books.
Even if there are some true meaning books, there are still substitutes.
Because many monks who have studied in Langya Academy, after reaching a certain level, like to engrave the skills they are good at into true meaning books.
It is a high honor to be collected by Langyayuan library, and it has always been a tradition.
Therefore, the same method may have many true meaning books.
This is considered a good aspect.
The bad thing is that Langya Academy requires new insights and differences for the inclusion of existing true meaning classics.
Therefore, you will basically never see the same method with the same true meaning.
It is somewhat similar to certain magical powers of body cultivation, such as half-step. For the same magical power, there are many directions to choose from.
In addition to the lost true meaning classics, there are also some pure knowledge classics, some of which are unique.
Some classics on travel notes are written by strong enough people and their thoughts are strong enough. Even though they are just travel notes, they can make people immerse themselves in the situation.
Comprehension of mental methods is actually the loss of blood. That kind of artistic conception and perception is that of the original author. Without the previous state, he may never be able to compose the same classics again.
The loss was so great that even after obtaining the missing list, Cheng Jing still couldn't determine which books were destroyed.
This kind of large-scale investigation consumes a lot of time, but it is not without rewards.
For example, in the past two days, they found certain records hidden in the pile of old papers and in an ordinary travel notes book.
This is something recorded by a god-refining monk before ancient times.
He was born with a withered Qi sea and a weak physical body, basically unable to refine his Qi, but his soul was born with a strong spirit.
I thought this life would end here, but I found out that I could practice spirituality.
According to the record, he was grateful to a powerful monk named Shi and started the path of god refining.
After Shi Shi's death, he grieved so much that he wrote a memorial tribute to him.
Even if they are separated by a long time, ordinary people will be overwhelmed by the sadness in the memorial text just by looking at it. They will be unable to extricate themselves for several days and wash their faces with tears.
The ancient book with the unknown animal skin as its carrier fell into Cheng Jing's hands.
He studied it carefully. On the surface, it was indeed just an ordinary travel book, just because it described things from an era before ancient times.
The characters on it are also from before ancient times, and were carefully preserved because of their literary value.
When he was young, he also read this book and deciphered the words on it.
Looking back now, there is a clear difference.
Because the word "Shi" has had many interpretations and meanings before.
But here, just by looking at it, you will clearly know that this character represents a certain person and is the name of a certain person.
This kind of change never existed before.
Cheng Jing was sure at a glance that there were human factors in it, and someone had solidified it with great magical power.
When this word represents the strong man who opened the way to refine the gods, no one will understand it wrong.
When the meaning of a keyword changes, the artistic conception of the entire record suddenly changes.
The records that I read back then were regarded as travel notes. Although nothing had changed, they were turned into memorials. Cheng Jing felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness rushing over him.
No, it's not accurate, but the grief in his heart arises naturally, from the inside out.
After only reading one-third of a memorial text, he burst into tears, couldn't concentrate, his will wavered, and he fell into grief and couldn't extricate himself.
He resisted the thought of continuing to read, closed the book, and closed his eyes.
After a full hour, his eyes became red and swollen, and his mood slowly calmed down.
"What a strong thought, why couldn't I feel it before?"
He knew that the most important thing was that the meaning of the word changed and was fixed to the correct semantic meaning, which caused this change.
This is not a man-made change, it is just the way it is.
They had two guesses.
Using this precious and unknown species of animal skin as a carrier, it has survived so many years without being damaged.
This species that no longer exists must have been extremely precious in those days.
If it is just used to record an ordinary travelogue, then this person must be a fool from a landlord's family.
Some people also speculate that this kind of animal skin may not have been very precious in that era, or the person who recorded it may not have known that it was precious.
However, the same materials that have been handed down to the present are extremely rare.
Anyway, there's no definite answer, it's all guesswork.
Now I can be sure that this thing is extremely precious and is meant to be passed down.
But now Cheng Jing sees another problem.
Such a strong idea, after so many years, still makes it difficult for him to control himself after reading it. No one in the entire Langya Academy can read the entire text without changing his expression or being affected.
Everyone who reads the entire article will fall into that emotion and be unable to extricate themselves for many days.
Those who are not strong-willed enough may not even be able to quit halfway through and can only read it in one sitting.
In the past two days, many hospital heads had red and swollen eyes and sad faces.
There are even two students who discovered this article and have already made up their minds to practice God and inherit the legacy of their ancestors.
Who, or what, or what method could suppress such a strong thought for a long time?
This record is studied as a pre-ancient text, and all the academic leaders who need to understand pre-ancient texts have read it.
Because many ancient classics can only be understood without deviation by using the words, semantics, and context of the time.
Studying runes and ancient characters is a basic skill for many academy leaders.
It is impossible for so many people to understand wrongly. There must be some influence.
Then who made this record reveal its original meaning.
Something big must have happened recently that they don't know about.
Cheng Jing calmed down, even lit the incense, put on a soothing amulet, applied protection, and opened the classics again.
But when seeing the memorial text, these methods are still of little use.
His grief comes from his heart and cannot be stopped by external forces. It can only be suppressed slightly.
He read the memorial text with tears in his eyes, but managed to remain rational. Then he read to the end and found out who the person who wrote the memorial text was.
Wenjun.
This was something I couldn't understand before. In the past, these two words were just part of the travel notes.
Now, if you can recognize that this is a sacrificial inscription, you can also naturally tell that these two characters represent a certain person.
However, he didn't know who it was.
Never heard of it, never seen it in other records.
But he knew that being able to leave such a strong record of thoughts was not as magical as the external appearance. He could only feel it when he saw it.
This man must not be a weakling, he must be the top strong man of the year.
And this man's name has also disappeared over the years.
The beginning of the road to refining the gods has also disappeared in the years.
This is no accident.
Because in the past two days, several leaders of the God Refining Academy have clearly noticed that their foundation has become much more stable.
Before, they had never felt that their foundation was unstable.
The impact of this incident goes far beyond just finding the missing records, it also affects the practice of the god-refining monks.
He also thought that over the years, the road to god refining has been difficult, the number has become smaller and smaller, and the top god refining experts have appeared less and less frequently.
Is it also related to these things?
Then, he remembered again that a few years ago, there was a fire in Langya Library.
This time, is there someone who wants to erase something?
Little by little, erase all the important things.
Are these matters also important matters that concern the foundation of everyone? Who dares to say otherwise?
With constant association, Cheng Jing's determination to dig deeper into the fire became stronger.
