After leaving the Yamen lobby, Gu Xu first went to the warehouse to receive the "Eternal Brightness Pill".
The hunchbacked old man is on vacation today - he is still watching a play leisurely on Xunliu Street.
The young man on duty in the warehouse instead of the old man is Dong Zhuangzhuang, a young handyman.
Gu Xu handed the note with the words "Chang Ming Dan" to Dong Zhuangzhuang's hand.
Dong Zhuangzhuang took the note respectfully, and then rummaged through more than a dozen drawers in the warehouse, but did not find the "Eternal Brightness Pill" that Gu Xu wanted.
"I'm sorry, sir," Dong Zhuangzhuang lowered his head and said to Gu Xu tremblingly, "There are too many pills here. I don't know where to put the 'Changming Pill' -"
"——The second drawer on your right." Gu Xu interrupted him lightly.
With the talent of [Extensive Memorization], although Gu Xu did not deliberately remember, he could still easily recall where the hunchbacked old man used to place various medicinal pills.
"Yes, sir!"
Dong Zhuangzhuang immediately took the "Eternal Brightness Pill", bent down and handed it into Gu Xu's hands.
"Thank you!" Gu Xu smiled.
At this moment, Gu Xu couldn't help but admire the hunchbacked old man.
Even though the old man fishes all day long and either takes a nap or reads a script during work hours, his business ability is excellent - he can accurately remember the placement of more than 100 items in the warehouse, which is something that most people can't do. Can't do it.
…………
According to the original plan, Gu Xu planned to go back to his home first and make a simple "health lunch" for Shi Xiaohan.
Then, while I have the elixir in hand, I will spend this afternoon trying to break through to the "Second Song of Underworld" realm.
However, at this moment, Cui Tianyou, the eighth-level exorcist director, suddenly came to him.
"Brother Gu, I remember telling you before that because some of the documents in the library are too old and have been gnawed by mice and moths, we are currently transcribing and sorting them out. There are many questions that I need to ask you for advice. "
"Brother Cui, I remember you told me before that I have a share of the reward for this matter."
"You will receive one-third of the reward for copying documents."
In the Daqi Exorcism Department, you can earn merit not only by doing ghost-killing tasks, but also by copying documents, refining magic weapons, and doing logistical work, etc. You can also get some merit rewards.
But for Gu Xu, doing ghost-killing missions to earn merit is the most efficient, so he rarely considers other ways.
"No problem." Gu Xu agreed readily.
He never likes his plans to be suddenly disrupted.
Unless given money - no, merit.
After all, in this world that requires a lot of resources to become strong, what limits Gu Xu's speed of practice is not his talent, but his poverty.
Gu Xu then followed Cui Tianyou to the Yamen Library, which he was very familiar with.
Beside the desk by the window, there are several scholars wearing t-shirts and square scarves who are immersed in writing.
"Brother Cui, I remember there is a handyman in our yamen who is responsible for managing books and materials? Why did you invite the students from Yishui County School?" Seeing the attire of these scholars, Gu Xu felt a little strange .
"The handwriting of those handymen is really bad," Cui Tianyou sighed and explained, "It's like ghost drawings. I guess only they can understand it.
"The handwriting of these scholars still looks elegant and dignified."
Gu Xu walked over and took a look, and found that it was indeed the case.
These scholars' handwriting is like woodblock printing, upright and respectful, horizontally and vertically, and neat.
Gu Xu knew that this font was called "Taige style".
Because the imperial examinations of the Da Qi Dynasty required the use of regular script answers; those with poor handwriting would not be listed on the list, even if they were full of knowledge.
Therefore, scholars will work hard to practice "Tai Ge style" to avoid losing "paper points" due to writing problems, causing ten years of hard work to be wasted.
At this time, the scholars also noticed Gu Xu's arrival.
They stood up one after another, bowed their hands to Gu Xu and said, "Xiaosheng has met Mr. Gu."
In fact, these scholars are much older than Gu Xu.
When they call themselves "niches" in front of Gu Xu, Gu Xu always feels a little weird.
"Do you recognize me?" he asked.
"Who knows Mr. Gu's reputation as a genius?" a scholar said, "Zhou Jiaoyu has described your deeds in front of us more than once. He said that people like you are by no means a thing in the pond. In the future, he will surely rise to the top and become a powerful figure like a national advisor or chief minister."
He is indeed a disciple who was taught by Zhou Jiaoyu step by step!
This skill of blowing rainbow farts is quite worthy of Zhou Jiayu!
Hearing this, Gu Xu sighed silently in his heart.
"Has there been any activity in your county school recently?" He pondered for a moment and asked.
He remembered that when he went to Yishui County last month to learn how to exorcise ghosts, he mentioned to Zhou Jiaoyu that the county's feng shui was not good and needed to be improved.
The scholar replied: "Recently, the county magistrate sent people to measure the terrain to the east of the county school, and wanted to build a 'Jinxian Building' there. Unfortunately, Yishui County has been under financial constraints recently and has insufficient funds, so construction has not started yet."
Gu Xu nodded.
It seems that in this world, he is not the only one who is short of money.
…………
In the following period, Cui Tianyou took out many damaged books and asked Gu Xu many questions.
"In the third volume of "Feihong Sword Art", there are two different versions of the description - 'light as a feather' and 'powerful as a giant'." Brother Gu, do you know which one is correct? "
"Second. The key points of "Feihong Sword Technique" are to rise and fall lightly, to overcome strength with skill, and to move a thousand pounds with four ounces. If you pay too much attention to momentum, it will violate its original intention."
"In a Feng Shui book, it is mentioned that 'mulberry, pines, cypresses, pear and locust trees should not enter the palace' - if these trees are planted in the residence, it will bring misfortune. However, we often use the word 'mulberry' to refer to it. Hometown. There is obviously a contradiction here. Brother Gu, how do you think this should be explained?"
"Don't plant mulberry trees because 'mulberry' is a homophone of 'mourning', which is considered unlucky. But in fact, this is just superstition, not Feng Shui. Mulberry trees do not have any effect of attracting yin. This Feng Shui book should be based on folklore The remarks are made up.”
"..."
In this way, the two of them quickly solved many difficult problems by asking and answering questions.
The scholars next to him also unknowingly stopped what they were doing, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they looked at Gu Xu who was answering all kinds of tricky questions well.
"How does this Master Gu's brain grow? Why can he remember so much messy knowledge accurately?" The scholars found it unbelievable.
Thinking that they had occasionally memorized the Four Books and Five Classics incorrectly even after studying day and night, the scholars had to painfully admit that the gap between people is really huge.
