I can enlighten everything

Chapter 14

Dianhua put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at the bookshelf. On the side wall of the bookshelf was a large wooden board engraved with the word "History", and each section on the bookshelf was engraved with the keys of the bamboo slips stored inside. Information wooden sign.

For example, the volume of bamboo slips just now is stored in the "Jishui County" section of the "History" bookshelf.

Who said that the books of the ancients were stored indiscriminately without logic?Isn't it logical for them to store it?Much like a library in the modern world.

After discovering this pattern, Dianhua began to look at the names of these bookshelves and the sections above them, so as to have a big framework, so that he knew what he knew.

Dianhua found the bookshelves of the types of books he was looking for.There is a "Wu" bookcase for martial arts secret books, a "Di" bookcase for geography-related books, and a "Miscellaneous" bookcase for Fengshui fortune-telling, etc.

After having a general framework, Dianhua began to search for related books in the order of the plan.

"The first choice is martial arts cheats."

Dianhua walked to the front of the Wuzi bookshelf.

"According to the habit, first read the history of martial arts evolution, books related to the theory, and evaluation of martial arts secret books, so that you know what you know, and then choose specific martial arts secret books."

Knowing it well, not panicking, choosing decisively, I quickly found the book I wanted to read.

""Yan Wu Lun", written by Qi Hong, the evolution of martial arts."

Dianhua found that the authors of the books on theoretical research in the library of the Qi Mansion were all surnamed Qi, and they should all be members of the Qi clan of Jishui.Considering that this is an era when books were recorded on bamboo slips, the emergence of this family learning phenomenon is very reasonable.

Dianhua reported the title and author's name to the guardian behind the desk!One of the two guardians is responsible for engraving and recording, and the other uses a mechanism to open a deep secret passage, then enters it and closes the entrance of the secret passage from the inside.

During the process of opening the door, the guardian who opened the door, the guardian who left the record behind the table, and even the two guardians at the door, kept paying attention to Dianhua's reaction from the corner of their eyes until the entrance to the secret passage was closed from the inside. .

'The ancient people's awareness of knowledge protection is beyond imagination! '

While waiting, the bored Dianhua paced around along the aisle between the bookshelves.

The wall is a stone wall, and the stone wall is sunken inwards, leaving a shell-like groove that resembles a standing shell, and a bronze eagle-shaped oil lamp is placed inside.

After careful observation, Dianhua realized the benefits of this design, one is fire prevention and the other is light concentrating.

Following the smoke from the lights, Dianhua discovered the ventilation system of this secret room, a row of ventilation openings only one foot apart the thickness of chopsticks.

There was a water bucket in each of the four corners of the room. Dianhua approached and found that the water in it was very clear and had no peculiar smell. It seemed that the water was changed frequently, even every day.

This wooden barrel should also be used for fire prevention. Once a fire is accidentally caught, the water in the wooden barrel should be used to extinguish the fire immediately.

If you look closely, there is actually a fish less than three inches hiding in the corner of the bottom of the barrel.

Why raise a small fish?
It should be the same as changing the water frequently, to prevent insects in the water, right?
In addition to being afraid of fire, the bamboo slips are also afraid of insects, so there must be such a design.

Looking carefully at the bookshelf again, I realized that its material was actually metal, and the outside was coated with a layer of varnish similar to the color of wood.

"It's no wonder that the labels on the bookshelves have to be specially hung with wooden signs. It turns out that the bookshelves are made of metal, and it is too difficult to engrave."

As for why the bookshelf is made of metal, it should also be because of fire and insect resistance.

As for why it is painted, one is for anti-rust and the other is for beauty, right?
Dianhua picked up the bamboo slips and observed them carefully. There was an obvious oily layer on them, and it smelled slightly pungent.

'The bamboo slips must have been professionally processed. '

Dianhua doesn't know exactly what kind of treatment it is, but what is certain is that it has a process of immersion in oil.

Dianhua can only guess the effect of the treatment. The oil soaking should be to increase the shelf life and prevent moisture, and the pungent smell should be to prevent insects.

As for whether there are other programs, and what are the functions of other programs, Dianhua has not done any special research, so it is not known.

'The ancient people really paid attention to the protection and preservation of books! '

This aspect may be more important than modern people.

After all, ancient people did not have electric lamps or induction cookers, and used a lot of open flames such as oil lamps and stoves in their lives. Many of the utensils used in daily life were made of wood, and most of the houses were civil structures or all wooden structures, which were flammable.

Water and fire are ruthless, once a fire broke out in the ancient world, it would be a very serious disaster!
Because there are too many lessons learned, ancient people have such a strong awareness of fire prevention, right?
"It's dry, be careful with candles."

They even specially arranged watchmen throughout the night. During the patrol, they sang and drank loudly to remind everyone to be more careful at night and pay attention to fire prevention.

When I came back to my senses, I found that the book I wanted to borrow had already been picked up by the guardian.

'These guardians really seem to be like wood. They didn't say a word, didn't make a single unnecessary movement, and they didn't know to remind me to go to pick up the borrowed books from the library. '

Dianhua walked over and took a look at the dozen or so large bamboo scrolls on the tray, which weighed eight or nine catties.

Dozens of bamboo slips in one book?Eight or nine catties?Thinking back to modern thin paper, and even electronic books, the heart is filled with nostalgia.

When Dianhua came out of the inner room and came to the teahouse-like hall, he found Qi Yu sitting at the tea table by the window, holding the bamboo slips in both hands, reading intently with a smile on his face, with pleasant eyes, as if he had gained something.

Dianhua also likes the location by the window, but luckily the hall is spacious and bright, with four windows on the walls on both sides and four tea tables by the windows.

Dianhua had a good impression of Qi Yu, so he went to Qi Yu's side, sat at another table by the window, and put down the tray.

It may be that the sound of placing the tray was a bit loud, which disturbed Qi Yu who was concentrating on studying. Qi Yu saw Dianhua sitting at the opposite table, lifted the teapot in the middle of the table and nodded, and asked: "Master Dao, do you need a cup of tea?" Tea?"

After Qi Yu said, Dianhua was really thirsty.

Dianhua looked at the steaming teapot in the opponent's hand, and brought up the empty teapot in the center of his tea table, knowing in his heart that it should have been prepared by the opponent himself, not Cangshuge.

After all, Qi Yu was not like Dianhua. It was the first time he came to Zangshuge, and he knew that there were only teapots and tea bowls, not tea, so he had to prepare tea himself.

Dianhua put down the empty teapot in his hand, picked up the tray just put down politely without knowing it at all, got up and walked towards Qi Yu with a smile and nodded his thanks: "Thank you, Mr. Yu."

Then he unceremoniously sat across from Qi Yu, picked up the teapot full of tea in the middle of the table with his left hand, picked up an empty tea bowl on the table with his right hand, poured half a bowl of tea into it, picked up the tea bowl and looked at the tea The color, smelled it again, then frowned and took a small sip, the frown deepened.

"This tea..."
