Chapter 134 and the ancestral hall
"This book was actually written by the ancestor of the Li family?"
Turning over the pages of the book and looking at the few prefaces on the first page, Li Huai immediately understood the identity of Li Xian, one of the ancestors of the Li family in this world. Judging from the brief introduction, there was something extraordinary.
Its status and size are left in history.
Just looking at it, I realized that my initial judgment was wrong.
"It turns out that it is a summary and annotation of what this ancestor said and did. The real author of this book is Duke Chengning. It sounds like an honorific title. I don't know how many generations of ancestors he is..."
He suddenly thought of the question he had asked not long ago.
"Speaking of which, where are my parents and relatives in this world? I have never heard anyone mention them. I don't even know the last name of my uncle. I only rely on the remaining memory fragments. But because I am too young, I don't know them at all.
I can’t remember clearly, but judging from the current situation, the situation of the Li family is not very good..."
Shaking his head, he stopped his distracting thoughts and flipped through the book in his hand.
"In Taoist terms, this ancestor is a Taoist scholar, but that's not what I need now." Shaking his head, Li Huai put the book back, then turned his eyes and scanned the bookshelves.
, suddenly his head was as big as a bucket.
"With so many books, it is really not easy to check them one by one and find what you need. Especially, you have to handle them with care, which is inefficient. But I only have one day. Even if there are people who have learned this skill,
I have the ability to never forget, but the aura I have accumulated in the past few days is still not big enough, and I’m afraid it won’t last long..."
With this thought, he lamented and devoted himself to the complicated and mechanical task of turning over books.
When Uncle Fu came back and put pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, he saw that his young master was flipping through a book very quickly, then put it back casually, and pulled out another one. He couldn't help but frown.
He frowned, then shook his head, said nothing, and left quietly, just as he came.
Li Huai was so absorbed in selecting books that he did not discover this episode.
His full concentration soon paid off.
"The time is almost up. I spent half a day and picked out seventeen books on the art of war, plus more than thirty miscellaneous books, plus some works by famous masters, the Yin and Yang family, and others. Most of these miscellaneous books related to
The contents of the search and case determination, as well as the doctrines of that famous scholar and several others, have elements of litigation and interrogation.”
He estimated the approximate contents and felt that given the current size of the halo and the time available, it would be very difficult to keep all the selected contents in mind in one afternoon.
"This is still the most ideal estimate. If one is not good, I may not be able to remember them all. As for the second floor..." Li Huai looked back at the dusty stairs at the end.
"The collection of books on the second floor is roughly similar to the one on the first floor. Besides, even on the first floor, there are many bookshelves that I haven't looked at. Plus, the upper shelves are out of reach for a short person like me. Anyway, let's take it step by step. The future will be long.
We have to slowly accumulate the halo of light. Speaking of which, what is the origin of the Li family in this world, and why do they hide so many books?"
With this thought, Li Huai picked up a military book at hand and started reading it. At the same time, the halo on his head began to rotate rapidly, and the aperture that was originally the size of a pot lid began to slowly shrink.
Time passed, and as Li Huai flipped through the books and scanned the words line by line, the halo of light on his head continued to shrink, and the light gradually dimmed.
When the sun went down, Li Huai took a deep breath, read the remaining books at hand, and shook his head.
"The time is still too short, and I haven't had time to finish reading these military books, but the selected ones are quite rich in content related to solving cases. They are really useful for those who want to learn."
Ding!
The moment his thoughts fell, a crisp sound came from his head, and then the entire halo went out.
"In general, the time is just right. The next step is to take the time to understand the memorized content, understand it thoroughly, and understand it clearly."
As soon as he finished his thoughts, the door to the other room was pushed open, and Uncle Fu walked in. He glanced at Li Huai and said, "Master, it's time to have dinner, and these books should be put away."
Li Huai knew it, so he took out the two military books at hand, put them on the table, and asked in a clear voice: "Uncle Fu, I want to take these two books and read them, is that okay?"
Uncle Fu frowned slightly, glanced at the covers of the two books, his expression changed slightly, and finally nodded and said: "Of course it is possible, but it must not take up the time of studying during the day."
"good!"
Li Huai nodded and then put the books back to their original places one by one.
Uncle Fu was watching from the side and originally wanted to give some advice. Unexpectedly, Li Huai moved very quickly. He put the books in their original positions in three strokes, five by two, and then used his young hands to grind and write, and then put the two books in their original positions.
The name of this military book is written above.
"Pingyang Art of War", "Six Realms of Jingwu".
After leaving the room, Li Huai suddenly asked: "Uncle Fu, if I can understand other classics and their meanings in the future, can I come to this library to read like I do today?"
Uncle Fu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "Ordinarily, this library is inherited by the Li family, and you can enter it at any time. It's just that the current situation is different. You haven't laid a good foundation yet, so frequent visits are not necessarily a good thing." He saw Li Huai
With a look of frustration on his face, he added, "But if you perform well, you can come in once every few months or half a year."
Li Huai was secretly happy, knowing how to use the child's frustration to successfully achieve his goal. Then he thought that his aura was exhausted and needed to be replenished, so he said in childish words: "It's good here, I am determined to be proficient in hundreds of schools of knowledge!"
"Okay! Be ambitious!" Uncle Fu nodded, "I hope you won't forget what you said today!"
Li Huai felt the halo on his head vibrate slightly, and there was a glimmer of light. He couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking that he had gained enough today, so he wanted to go back. However, when he glanced over here, he saw a house behind the two-story library pavilion.
It is relatively low and obscured by trees.
However, the moment he saw it, Li Huai felt his heart skip a beat and had a vague urge to walk over.
"That's the Li family ancestral hall." Uncle Fu noticed Li Huai's gaze, shook his head and said, "Now that you have not completed your work, you are not allowed to enter. You'd better go back first."
Don’t you have to be successful to enter the ancestral hall?
Li Huai was confused, thinking, isn't ancestor worship a traditional folk custom? Why does the Li family here have so many weird rules?
It was just that due to Uncle Fu's authority, he was relatively young and had recently been beaten with a ruler. The redness and swelling on his hands had not gone away. It was the time to build up strength, so he decisively did not ask any further questions.
"Anyway, we have almost all the things we should take. Let's think about it slowly. When the heat is almost done, we have to go back to the Daning Dynasty. We still have unfinished business there, and we can't keep the emperor waiting for too long."
After thinking about this, Li Huai lowered his head and glanced at the two military books in his hands, and couldn't help but get excited.
Chapter completed!
