Chapter 549: The Book of Mountains and Rivers
Chapter 552
"Mountains and Rivers......
After the Master said these three words, the hall was clearly divided into two factions. The expressions of Song Hanzhi and the others in the academy became very ugly, as if their beloved woman was snatched away by a thief and lived there for another year and a half.
And a master of rivers and lakes like Ma Meng is confused: what is the landscape and the east?
Cheng Dalei also belongs to the Jianghu faction, and it is the first time he has heard these three words.
And Liu Facai obviously hasn't heard these three words. Chu Yunsheng was also in the hall at the moment, Cheng Dalei beckoned to him, and Chu Yunsheng came over obediently.
"Landscape Classic...... What's that?"
Chu Yunshengguo deserved to be a cultured person, and said slowly: "The academy collects books from all over the world, and he also writes books and biography. The academy once sent disciples to investigate the geography of the empire's mountains and rivers. It took ten years before and after, and hundreds of disciples were dispatched to make a geographical chronicle. The thirteen states of the empire, one hundred and eight cities, are all in this landscape scripture. ”
"Yo, it's just a map, if you lose it, you lose it. Liu Facai said disdainfully.
There are not a few people on the field who think the same as Liu Facai, and the expressions of many people in the rivers and lakes have relaxed.
"What should I be, it's just a map, it shouldn't matter. ”
"I want to think about how many books the academy has, they just stole a map, it seems that this gang of thieves has no vision. ”
......
The Master had no expression on his face and sat still. Song Hanzhi and others found it difficult to hide their impatience: there was really no way to communicate with this group of uneducated Jianghu people.
Cheng Dalei did not join this group of Jianghu people this time, he can still understand the importance of the Shanshui Sutra. He was a man who attached great importance to maps, and if he could grasp the geography of the empire in advance, know where to charge with cavalry, where to defend with troops, and where to set traps in ambushes, then he would have a better chance of winning without a battle.
The key is to see how fine this book of mountains and rivers produced by the academy can be.
Then the question arises, the college has painstakingly pondered what the purpose of this book is.
"That ......" Cheng Dalei took the lead in asking: "Is there a copy?"
The master sighed: "After the Book of Mountains and Rivers was written, it has been kept in the library building, because this book is extremely important, even in the academy, only a few people are qualified to read this book. ”
"Then......" Cheng Dalei asked again: "Is there any original material or something?"
"On the day the book was written, all the collected materials were destroyed by my own hands. ”
"In this way, what about the person who wrote the book, should he also be killed?" Cheng Dalei.
"Uh......" The master had to pay attention to Cheng Dalei, this kid broke the casserole and asked in the end, obviously very interested in the Sutra of Mountains and Rivers, what if there is a copy, will you steal it again.
Cheng Dalei is not without this plan, he has made up his mind to visit the library at night today. In case the master lies, to be honest, he doesn't trust the character of a scholar.
After a while, another person walked into the hall, and he was Zhang Liu, the gatekeeper of the academy. Back then, he was also a giant thief in the academy, and he was not afraid at all in the face of the heroes and powers he was doing.
"Zhang Liu fought with the thief last night, Zhang Liu, tell me, what is the thief's kung fu?" Master.
Zhang Liu stood straight, with an expression that no one looked at him. He spoke: "The leader is a black-robed man, I don't see his appearance clearly, but his kung fu is wide open, focusing on strong attacks, and he doesn't look like the Imperial Road." ”
This speculation is exactly the same as Cheng Dalei's guess. According to Zhang Liu, there are several possibilities at present, one is that the masters of the princes from all walks of life, in order to hide their identities, so they do not use their own skills; second, the other party may come from the sea, and there are many merchants coming and going in Langya City, either foreign merchants or thieves entrenched on the sea. The third possibility is that the other party may be the Rong ethnic group.
"One more thing, I fought them last night and should have hurt one of them. Zhang Liudao.
"Really?" Song Hanzhi's eyes lit up.
Zhang Liu was not very willing to deal with him, and snorted coldly: "Those who can escape under my soul chasing stick are afraid that there are not many people in the world." ”
Zhang Liu has always had this disposition, and Song Hanzhi didn't care about it. He said: "The city gate was closed last night, because of this incident, the city gate has not been opened yet, and the thieves are still injured, it is very likely that they have not left Langya City." ”
The master nodded: "I want to make amends to you, because the Shanshui Sutra is very important, and if it falls into the hands of foreigners, there will be endless troubles." So before the thieves were found, the entry and exit of Langya City were blocked. I want to keep you in Langya City for a few more days, of course, all your needs will be taken care of by my academy. ”
"Well, I see. Cheng Dalei said loudly: "Being able to listen to the teachings of the saints in the academy is a kind of creation that we can't ask for. ”
Everyone looked at him, and said that this baby is a joke.
Who doesn't know that Master's words mean house arrest. Going deeper, it is related to book theft**, even if you don't personally participate, you can't say that you will collude inside and out.
Everyone hypocritically agreed, saying things like "yes, yes", but they were a little unhappy in their hearts.
Cheng Dalei was willing to stay in Langya City, he was not interested in helping the academy catch thieves, but he was extremely interested in the Shanshui Sutra. This Shanshui Sutra is also of great use to Toad City.
Of course, Cheng Dalei didn't forget another thing, after the people in the hall dispersed, he caught Song Hanzhi.
"Mr. Song, may I ask, have the people from the Hua clan arrived?"
"They arrived this morning, and they have arranged to live in the back mountain for the time being. Is Ou Gongzi going to see them now?"
"No, no, if something like this happens, let's wait. ”
How to meet the people of the Hua clan, Cheng Dalei hasn't thought about it yet, he can't say a word by himself, so people will follow him as a bandit. This matter needs to be thought about.
Anyway, now that the gates are closed, they can't go. When the book theft is resolved, it is not too late to solve the Hua family's matter.
Now, the entire city of Langya is cordoned off, and entry and exit are prohibited. Not only the city gate, but also the docks where merchants come and go are also blocked, that is, in Langya City, the academy has such a power.
In the city, in a deserted Yizhuang, there were several people in black.
One of them was lying on the coffin board, the clothes on his back separated by a knife, and his vest was black and bruised, looking very terrifying.
The black-robed man had a cold face and asked, "How is her condition?"
"Soft and strong into the heart, I can't see anything on the outside, but all my internal organs are seriously injured. If you want to save her, you can only open the knife to release the bruises. The subordinate replied.
"Then why don't you do it?"
"We ...... None of them have such skills. ”
