"Finally finished watching it!"
When Pei Wende came back to his senses again from the ocean of books, the sun had already set in the west, leaving only the afterglow of the setting sun shining through the window to the book pavilion.
It was different from what Dr. Lu imagined. After getting the other party's consent, Pei Wende read through most of the medical books in the attic at a speed that was almost like "turning the pages of a book."
On the one hand, this is of course because Pei Wende's heart chakra has been opened, and he can memorize the contents of all the books he has read in a short period of time through recalling memories and picking up things from the sea.
On the other hand, it is also because the books of this era do not have as many words as in the 21st century.
You must know that pen, ink and paper were very precious in ancient times. Even book lovers like Doctor Lu and Zhang Xiucai did not have more books in their homes than any future student's textbooks.
Especially after the network information technology has been fully developed, there are countless information from different channels such as news, news, expresses, essays and so on, and the requirements for reading speed are increasing day by day.
To use a sentence that Pei Wende has heard, it is the habit of modern books to use more than 80% of text explanations to explain the remaining 20% of the content.
However, ancient society was completely different. Due to the preciousness of pen, ink and paper, writers strived to summarize the most content in the shortest sentences.
Only then came various "explanatory" books that explained previous views and texts.
To put it simply, take the medical books that Pei Wende browsed. The largest among them was only 30,000 to 50,000 words. When it comes to the kind of books with drawing instructions, the smallest number of words may even be only a few hundred or even a thousand words.
A mere book with tens of thousands of words would only take a normal reader half an hour, or even less, to read in the era of online literature.
Of course, such fast reading also raises another question.
Because these medical books are so concise and concise, and there are too few relevant explanations, Pei Wende spent much more on "understanding" than "reading".
Thanks to Pei Wende's long-awaited enlightenment and his understanding far above that of normal people, he was able to understand the contents of these medical books relatively quickly.
Even so, Pei Wende doesn't think he can learn what ordinary people have learned for more than ten years in just one day.
Therefore, most of the time, Pei Wende devoured the contents of all the books first, planning to slowly learn and understand the specific contents in the books later.
In addition, Doctor Lu has quite a large collection of books here.
But excluding those books that are controversial or too repetitive, there is not much content that Pei Wende can really learn.
Therefore, before the sun was about to go down, Pei Wende had completely "recorded" what he wanted, and all that was left was to slowly understand the true meaning.
"If I had this ability before, I wouldn't have passed the college entrance examination easily."
After a habitual self-comment, Pei Wende put down the last medical book in his hand.
It's not that Pei Wende has read all the medical books in the attic, but it's almost dusk and it's time to go back.
Anyway, most of the remaining books contain repetitive explanations, and Pei Wende probably understood some of them through the "bookmarks" that Doctor Lu put in the books.
What's more, since Dr. Lu allowed himself to go into the attic to look for information this time, there will naturally be opportunities next time, so there is no need to rush.
"gone!"
Thinking like this, Pei Wende waved to Xiaoqing who had been awake for a long time and was sitting somewhere reading a book seriously like a human being.
"hiss……"
Xiaoqing spit out the snake letter in displeasure, and Xiaoqing, who was only halfway through the page, glanced at Pei Wende impatiently, and finally gave up the idea of continuing to read.
Because for Xiao Qing, who had only just learned to read, she could barely recognize the characters one by one, but once they were put together, she was completely confused.
For monsters like Xiaoqing, understanding human writing is only the first step in a long journey of thousands of miles. How to correctly understand the meaning of the book is the necessary step to continue practicing.
After all, compared to scattered and unsystematic monsters, humans who are naturally intelligent and have many practitioners possess many cultivation classics, which is usually the shortcut to the road to immortality.
Even for this, Xiaoqing had to slowly learn human writing and become familiar with human classics.
"Why don't you pretend now?"
Kneeling in front of Xiao Qing and jokingly teasing him, Pei Wende found that ever since he realized that the other person could speak human words, this guy had become more and more arrogant, and now he didn't even bother to pretend in front of him.
You must know that before this, Pei Wende had no idea that Xiaoqing could still read.
Especially judging from the fact that the other party didn't turn a page for a long time, it was obvious that she was not flipping through it casually.
"How did you learn to read? Was it when I was copying scriptures?"
After thinking about it, Pei Wende felt that except when he was punished by the old monk Lingyou to go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to copy books, Xiaoqing should have no other opportunity to contact and learn human writing.
"hiss……"
I didn't bother to talk to Pei Wende at all, let alone talk nonsense with this guy.
Xiaoqing followed the other person's arm and got into the sleeve of the shirt with ease, and then closed her eyes silently.
Rather than bickering with Pei Wende, Xiaoqing just wanted to quickly digest the knowledge about human acupuncture points that she had just seen.
The acupoints and energy channels that come with the painted skin only let Xiaoqing know their approximate locations, but their specific functions and related connections have to be figured out bit by bit by herself.
Xiao Qing originally thought that he would have to be stuck at this step for several years, or even decades, before he could figure out the secrets of the human body's acupuncture points and complete the construction of the Zhoutian circulatory system.
But after reading these records in medical books about the human body, Xiaoqing felt that she already had the foundation to connect the nine innate orifices to form a great circulation.
Maybe a few years later, maybe a few months later, maybe even a few days later...
Xiaoqing is currently only one step away from transforming into another form. It depends on when she will have the opportunity to successfully transform her acquired body into an innate body.
However, before she can truly transform, Xiaoqing still has one most important problem to solve - the Transformation Tribulation, or the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
That is the last catastrophe for practitioners before they get rid of their mortal bodies. If they succeed, they will have hope for immortality, but if they fail, they will turn into ashes.
The "Four Nine Heavenly Tribulations" are essentially the product of the highly condensed essence, energy, and spirit of the practitioners. When they expose their own energy to the outside, it causes a feedback and riot about the energy of heaven and earth.
In other words, the greater the essence, energy, and spirit of the person who is overcoming the tribulation, the more difficult it will be to survive the tribulation.
Unfortunately, although Xiaoqing has been trying her best to control her body growth, her body length has still reached an almost exaggerated level.
This means that Xiaoqing's transformation calamity is also superior to ordinary monsters, and may not even be weaker than the natural punishment of the birth of a coffin child.
"Xiao Qing?"
Pei Wende, who was keenly aware of Xiaoqing's fleeting agitation and didn't know that the other party was about to transform, called out tentatively, but the response was only silence.
