Building a sect from scratch

Chapter 134: Fateful Encounter

When the bell rang for the papers to be handed in, Lv Wenyuan was the first to rush out, not even planning to wait until the papers were handed in!

"Junior brother?"

Chao Yan handed the papers to Zhou Qian in confusion, and hurriedly chased after him.

As soon as he went out, he saw Lv Wenyuan standing at the door with a strange look on his face, staring at the people passing by.

ใ€At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network โ†’๐˜๐˜„๐—ธ๐—ฎ๐—ป.๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บใ€‘

Chao Yan was completely confused: "Junior brother, you..."

"Senior sister, I didn't answer the question."

"Ah!?"

Lv Wenyuan said: "I suddenly feel that I should go to the Chang'an Library."

Chao Yan wanted to say "Aren't you afraid of Senior Sister Jiao?", but after seeing Lv Wenyuan's unprecedented serious expression, she swallowed the words and perfunctorily said: "I heard that there are more than a thousand books in the collection, which is not a small amount, but it is still a little worse than our Taiyi Ziwei Sect. What can you see?"

"Look at the books inside, and look at the people inside. I heard that everyone can read the books inside... Senior sister, do you think there are really mortals with residual spiritual roots who have learned to practice by themselves?"

When Chao Yan heard this question, he also fell silent.

A library open to everyone, which even contains many basic theories of cultivation and various secrets of magic, is a kind of existence that makes her feel very scared.

How can the secrets of cultivation be seen so easily?

She spent a lot of merits in the sect to exchange for various secrets of cultivation and Taoist explanations!

Cultivating immortals should be something high and mighty, how can it... how can it become so lowly?

However, although she felt uncomfortable, Chao Yan still did not point fingers at the choices of other sects and forces.

The immortal path of a person with residual spiritual roots is cut off, how can he achieve any results!

She thought confidently.

"Senior sister, you should take the exam well in the afternoon, I will go first!"

As Lv Wenyuan said, he practiced Qi and magic, and in the blink of an eye, his figure flew towards the Chang'an Library.

Entering the Chang'an Library is very simple. After verifying your identity, you only need to apply for a library card to enter and borrow books.

However, when Lv Wenyuan walked into the library, he found that the entire library was not like the legend, with only more than a thousand books, but more than a dozen densely packed bookcases, each of which was filled to the brim! At least thousands of books!

He randomly picked a bookshelf and walked over to it, pulling out a thick book.

But when he opened it, he found that the whole book was written in a language he had never seen before.

"What kind of text is this!?"

He muttered in confusion.

"This flower language is a bit like the Zhongzhou language, and it's not difficult to learn."

Lv Wenyuan had a monk next to him who kindly answered his doubts.

The monk's cultivation was very low, and he had just begun to draw Qi into his body. When he saw Lv Wenyuan looking at him, he smiled friendly and said, "If you are interested, I can teach you. Moreover, this language is also taught in the night school of Chang'an School every night! There is no harm in learning it. Most of the books in the library are about flower language!"

Lv Wenyuan hesitated for a moment before he bowed and introduced himself, "Lv Wenyuan, Taiyi Ziwei Sect, disciple of Master Pinglin."

The monk seemed to not understand the etiquette and rules. He imitated Lv Wenyuan and bowed awkwardly in return - but the posture was completely wrong.

He just said, "My name is Wang Qiqing, and I should be considered... a disciple of Taiyin Sect."

When Lv Wenyuan heard that the other party was a "disciple of Taiyin Sect", his expression became a little cold, but curiosity took over and he asked, "What language is this 'flower language'? How can it pass on so many books? I have never heard of it!"

Wang Qiqing waved his hand and said, "Hey, this is just the beginning. These are the results of our Taiyin Sect disciples' hard work in copying for a month. In fact, on our Blue Star, there are at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of ancient books and masterpieces that have been passed down for thousands of years! If you count the ones today, hey! There are too many to count!"

"Blue Star?"

Wang Qiqing scratched his head and explained, "It's just another world, so we can call it Blue Star. It's like what you call a small world in a cave! That's where the language of flower planting comes from!"

"How do you have so many books?"

"Maybe it's because we have a short lifespan!" Wang Qiqing had never thought about this question. Now he was stumped by the question. Instead, he thought about it carefully and answered: "We Blue Star people can't cultivate immortality. In the past, the average lifespan was only 20 or 30 years. Later, with the development of technology, the average lifespan was only 100 years. Compared with your lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years, it's really not enough.

"Maybe it is precisely because of this that we have a sense of urgency, especially us flower growers. We have to record everything we encounter - personal ability is limited. Only by recording it can we let future generations continue to explore on the shoulders of their predecessors, and the previous car should not forget the teacher of the next car!

"History should be recorded, and knowledge should also be recorded. There is nothing that cannot be written about astronomy, geography, mathematics, and medicine. If it is written down, future generations can go further on books.

"That's probably it. "

Lv Wenyuan was quite touched by what he heard.

The civilization of Guixu Realm is still in a state of wild governance, and the characters used in various human settlements are slightly different. Only when towns are incorporated into some large sects and forces will they gradually assimilate and use the characters and language commonly used by cultivators, that is, Zhongzhou language.

There are hundreds of languages โ€‹โ€‹in the ten continents and three islands. Some are not very different, and can even half understand each other; some are very different and very difficult to learn.

Therefore, in this chaotic situation, the Zhongzhou language, which has the largest number of users and the widest range of users, has become the "official language" of the cultivators. All major sects must learn it. Anyway, learning a language is as simple as drinking cold water. As long as you have a foundation, you can naturally rely on your cultivation and magic power to "understand". On this basis, learning to speak is much easier.

However, no matter how popular the Zhongzhou language is, it cannot change the reality that different pronunciations and different characters are found in different places. The more a language is used and the more users it has, the more perfect it will be. The situation in Guixu Realm has led to the fact that the language system in many places is really simple, and the writing system is even more terrible, not to mention the "history books" that have been passed down. There is no such thing! It is considered a very particular place to have a record like a county annals!

As for books on astronomy, geography, mathematics, medicine, etc., only monks have the energy and ability to record them. But everyone has some time to practice and seek the truth. Who would study them except for the monks who are related to the truth they seek?

As Wang Qiqing said, most monks who have the ability to record knowledge think that they can live forever, so why should they consider their descendants? What books should they compile? Even if they write, they will write the secret manuals of cultivation and various detailed explanations of cultivation. They have no interest in anything else.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenyuan sighed sincerely, shook the book in his hand, and asked: "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, what book am I holding?"

Wang Qiqing grinned and replied: "A Brief Introduction to Special and General Relativity!"
