Wandering in the sea of books, the long night passed in an instant.
Ye Qin couldn't care so much and hurriedly crawled through the gap in the window. Before leaving, he didn't forget to hook the handle on the window with his tail and restore it.
But the books on the ground cannot be returned to their original positions.
After all, to be honest, as a snake, it is not difficult to pull these books to the ground, but it is indeed a bit difficult to send these books intact to a distant place.
The administrator opened the door and began to clean up. Most of the people were of good quality and would not leave any garbage in the library. He only needed to clean up the dust, and then sort and summarize some books.
Walking to the end of the bookshelf and looking at the pile of books on the floor, the administrator was stunned, "What's going on?"
He clearly remembered that these books had been put away and no one was borrowing them, so how could they suddenly collapse on the ground.
"Could it be that it was blown down by the wind?"
The administrator looked at the surrounding windows. They were all closed. It was impossible for any wind to come in.
"It's really weird."
The administrator scratched his head and was puzzled. After putting the books away, he just thought someone accidentally knocked them over and didn't take them seriously.
As night fell and the library was locked, Ye Qin slipped in again by familiar means.
During the day, he found a place in the shade of a tree next to the library to close his eyes and relax, and came back here at night.
After the first time, he quickly found his position after the second time, like a big sponge, frantically absorbing the surrounding knowledge.
Ye Qin is the only cultivator. There is no clear cultivation method in these ancient books, but only a train of thought and general idea, so it all depends on his own understanding and continuous exploration.
This means that he must brainstorm, and only by constantly enriching himself and having enough knowledge and insights can he create a cultivation path that is most suitable for him.
Of course, not all ancient books are useful to him. After all, the thoughts of many ancient sages are also nonsense. They are not real practitioners after all. Some of their thoughts are very reasonable and derived from their insights, but some of them are already considered by today's knowledgeable practitioners. It seems that Ye Qin is just guessing.
Therefore, we still need to sift through them to remove the dross and extract the essence.
Ye Qin was racing against time. It could be said that he could read ten lines at a time. His gaze paused slightly, and he was soon attracted by an ancient book.
"Therefore, gods are born, and the saints follow them; heaven and earth change, and the saints follow them; the sky hangs down to see good and bad luck, and the saints follow it; the river comes out of the "Picture", and the Luo comes out of the "Book," and the saint follows it."
"This is - "Hetu Luoshu"!"
Ye Qin suddenly became interested and turned the pages with his tail.
"The river map overlaps, and the Luoshu divides into two parts; the square and the circle hide each other, and the yin and yang embrace each other and make use of each other."
According to legend, in ancient times, a dragon and horse emerged from the Yellow River in Mengjin County, northeast of Luoyang, carrying a "river map" and dedicated it to Fuxi. Fuxi developed Bagua based on this, which is the source of "Book of Changes".
During the reign of Dayu, a magical turtle emerged from the Luo River in Luoning County, west Luoyang, carrying "Luo Shu" on its back and dedicated it to Dayu. Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods based on this, and then divided the world into Kyushu.
Dragons and horses are carried on the body, and turtles are listed on the back. This is where "Hetu Luoshu" comes from.
Their appearance and records are full of mythology, and they also bring unspeakable mystery to them. Some people are still arguing about them to this day.
Some people say it comes from Taoist alchemy and health-preserving techniques, while others say it comes from the observation of celestial phenomena. It can be said that there are different opinions, each with its own version.
"Hetu Luoshu" appeared very early and was completely inconsistent with the development rules at that time. Some people believe that this book is an alien object from the sky and a product of another spatial dimension.
Later generations also discovered that Luo Shu uses the North Pole as the positioning star and the brightest star in the nine directions pointed by the bucket handle as the symbol, and its number and orientation are exactly the same as Luo Shu.
It is undeniable that its origin is a mystery, and there is still no accurate explanation. Unlike the previous ancient books such as "Tao De Jing" and "Yi Jin Jing", there are traces to follow.
The content in the book seems chaotic, but it seems to contain endless changes, including the sources of Chinese culture, Yin Yang and Five Elements.
Different from other ancient books, in addition to written records, "Hetu Luoshu" also has many patterns on it, which contain the avenues of heaven and earth, Bagua and Zhou Yi. It is more laborious for Ye Qin to read.
Because he still had to understand the meaning contained in those patterns, both of which were indispensable, which made people dizzy.
Fortunately, Ye Qin had a lot of patience and had a whole night to carefully ponder the contents.
In modern times, "Hetu Luoshu" is known as the Rubik's Cube of the Universe. It is said that if you can unlock the secrets contained in it, you will also understand the ultimate secret of the universe.
Although there are exaggerations here, they are not groundless.
Because the wisdom of the ancients is very special, they may not understand modern physical science, but for example, the astronomical masterpiece "Gan Shi Xing Jing" from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period directly and perfectly marked the arrangement of star fields light years away, so that modern astronomers' starry sky telescopes The detected star fields are not as standard and detailed as the statistics in "Gan Shi Star Scripture". They even have to study and search according to the ancient "Gan Shi Star Scripture".
What kind of wisdom is this?
Therefore, Ye Qin never dared to underestimate the ancients and benefited a lot from them.
"No wonder it is said that this is a strange book. It is indeed true. The Zhouyi is derived from the Hetu Luoshu. It is not unreasonable. Moreover, it is closely related to the twenty-eight constellations and the twelve zodiac signs. "
"The way of cultivation is closely related to Tai Chi, Bagua, Zhouyi, Liujia, Nine Stars, Feng Shui, etc., and all of these can be traced back to their roots in Hetu Luoshu."
Unknowingly, another night passed, and Ye Qin left full of feelings.
He pushed the books off the bookshelf with his head, but he couldn't push them back, so he could only keep them piled on the ground as they were.
Ye Qin could only apologize silently in his heart.
And that morning, when the librarian went to work, he saw the pile of books on the ground again and was completely messed up.
The administrator was stunned, "What the hell is going on!"
Although the messy books are different this time, they are still roughly in the same place, as if they have a soft spot for this place.
If someone really encountered it accidentally, how could they make the same mistake one after another? Moreover, after what happened yesterday, he paid special attention to it, and no one came here at all.
So why are these books spread here? !
The first time can be said to be a coincidence, but the second time is unexplainable.
Could it be a thief?
The administrator checked the number and found that except for those borrowed from outside, all the books were registered and had not been lost.
And he took a look and found that the books scattered on the ground yesterday and today were all ancient books in classical Chinese. They were obscure and difficult to understand. Even if he wanted to steal them, it would be impossible to steal these books.
What's more, these are all reproductions later, not the original ones. They look antique, but they have been aged and are not worth much at all.
It's not like a good library suddenly becomes haunted.
