"There are more than a dozen dynasties going up to Dayin. In recent years, the shortest ones are three to four thousand years old. It is said that the longer ones are one million years old. The emperor's time on the throne can easily be tens of thousands.
What year."
"So many dynasties, so many emperors, so many major and minor events, both plain and simple, were all recorded with this historian's pen. They have worked so hard to preserve them to this day, and that's why we have the Secret History Supervisor."
In the imperial city, Da Nei, in the passage between the palace walls on both sides, Lu Qian followed an old eunuch in purple clothes and jade belt, walking slowly along the passage.
At the previous meeting in the Fuyao Hall, Lu Qian made a small personal request to Yinyuan. He wanted to go to the Secret History Prison to find some useful secret books on martial arts to train his own government team.
This was a reasonable request, and Yinyuan agreed immediately. Even the cultural and educational officials did not respond much.
It's just a martial arts secret book, martial arts... is withered like this.
Now that culture and education are booming, this is the foundation of the court!
The walls of the palace were densely covered with imperial troops, and along the passages, every hundred feet, there were heavy city gates.
After passing the nine city gates all the way, a huge open space finally appeared in front of Lu Qian, with a huge stone palace in the center.
The open space is three miles long and wide, and is entirely paved with large water-polished bluestones. There is not a single flower, grass, or tree in sight.
The stone hall in the middle of the open space is as square as a brick on the ground. The whole body is made of huge stones. It is not beautiful, but it is very strong and heavy.
After the long years of baptism, the appearance of the stone hall, which is about two miles long and wide and more than ten feet high, has been covered with a thick layer of blue-black.
Under this layer of weathered color, Lu Qian saw that on the outer wall of the stone palace, there were huge patterns as magnificent as dragons, like climbing ivy, densely covering the entire stone palace.
When Lu Qian looked at these tattoos, his mind suddenly flashed, and even the three-eyed man's visualization picture lit up inexplicably.
"These tattoos?"
Lu Qian asked the old eunuch.
The old eunuch clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the majestic stone palace in front of him with a frown: "No one knows what these seals are. However, the bachelors who are enshrined in the imperial city said that these seals may be some of the legendary ones.
, a being with extraordinary power."
"But for so many years, apart from occasional thunderstorms and the occasional flash of light from these markings in the middle of the night, there has never been any movement here."
The old eunuch sighed: "Our family has been in the Secret History Prison for a full ninety years. Those bachelors are talking about all kinds of things, such as talismans, talismans, and extraordinary saints. Tsk, our family can't see it!
"
Lu Qian took a deep look at the naturally formed pattern-like patterns that seemed to grow directly from the boulders on the outer wall of the stone palace, and said with a smile: "Don't say that, even female ghosts have seen it.
, who knows, what will happen in the future?"
The old eunuch clicked his tongue a few times, and nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, I've seen all the female ghosts before, just in case... Hehe, Mr. Tianyang, please, please, please, I've got instructions from above.
Well, there won’t be much discussion in the palace about what happened last night.”
The old eunuch reminded Lu Qian.
Concubine Qi, Green Bird, and all those sneaky people have been wiped out by Lu Qian, but this is still a worry for the Queen Mother. When discussing the female ghost in the palace, didn't you give the Queen Mother eye drops?
Lu Qian nodded with a smile and followed the old eunuch step by step into the stone hall and into the Secret History Prison.
"This secret history prison is so big on the ground. The stone hall on the ground is divided into nine floors. It stores some ordinary information about Dayin and Jiuzhou. For example, the original manuscript of "Jiuzhou Geography" of all dynasties is stored here.
it's here."
Entering the stone hall, there were long corridors and thick stone arches. The old eunuch pushed open the two stone arches. Lu Qian saw that there was a huge space inside, with rows of dense dark wood bookshelves arranged neatly.
There it was, filled with all kinds of classics and secret files.
Those secret files of classics include stone slabs, wooden boards, clay tablets, leather scrolls, and various strange materials such as animal bones and tortoise shells. On the contrary, the papers inside only account for a very small part.
When the stone arch door was opened, a slightly dull aroma wafted out from inside.
The old eunuch asked Lu Qian to visit carefully for a while, then waved and asked several young eunuchs to close the stone arch door: "The incense here is all exquisite. It was before Dayin and eighteen generations ago. It is the oldest one that can be found in history."
The recipe left behind by the most holy dynasty of the country.”
"The recipe is very simple. It is just a mixture of dozens of common spices and medicinal materials, and you can make the "Excellent Beetle Incense". When placed in the study, it can extend the life of fragile book pages and bamboo slips hundreds of times."
"This recipe has been passed down from generation to generation from the Holy Holy Dynasty. Many things have been lost. Only "Jue Mingxiang" stands out and has survived to this day."
The old eunuch took Lu Qian and continued forward: "Tianyang Gong will take a copy of this recipe later. From now on, Tianyang Gong's family will definitely flourish and prosper. A wealthy family must have
To collect books, you must have your own library, book cabinet, library pavilion, etc. If you want to collect books, you must have "The Fragrance of Jue Xiang", do you think this is the truth?"
Lu Qian smiled and handed over to the old eunuch: "You are right, I really have to copy this recipe back. Well, if there is ready-made Juexiang incense, you can just sell me a few baskets of it."
The old eunuch smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk to. We are all members of our family. It's easy to talk to you if I give you the cost price."
After walking along the corridor for a while, after passing through a three-story thick door, there was a stone staircase going down.
The real powerhouse of the Secret History Prison, the truly precious classics, the truly secret files that cannot be read by ordinary people, are all underground.
Go down the spiral stone steps little by little. Every time you drop about ten feet, there is a small circular platform with soldiers and eunuchs stationed on it. On the platform, there are more or less three or five closed doors.
The stone door is closed, and I don’t know what is behind it.
"This secret history prison has a huge underground area." The old eunuch led Lu Qian down and introduced: "After the founding of Dayin, it has not been expanded or renovated. It is really too big."
"There are layers of secret history supervisors, and we won't talk about the ones further down. The total area of the upper nine underground floors is twice as big as the Imperial City on the ground!"
"Tsk, I don't know how those craftsmen built such a large underground building back then, and how many dynasties it took for repairs and additions to reach its current scale."
Lu Qian followed the old eunuch all the way down.
There are no candles underground. On the wall, at regular intervals, there is a mountain-shaped bronze candlestick with fist-sized luminous pearls stacked on it, emitting blue-white light that shines in all directions.
I don't know where there is a ventilation pipe. When Lu Qian went down, he could clearly feel the cool breeze blowing on his face. When he was dozens of feet underground, he didn't feel any stuffiness at all.
After walking for a while, the old eunuch took Lu Qian to a circular platform.
There are three stone gates on this platform.
Two of the stone gates are open. Through the light of the night pearl, you can see that behind the stone gates are two extremely large underground halls. Many men in green clothes and hats with obsessed expressions, old and young, are gathering together.
Walking through the bookshelves.
Occasionally, there will be vicissitudes of life and hoarseness, or clear and high-pitched curses.
"It's simply ridiculous. There are many stories about strange powers and gods in ancient books. I thought it was just a lie... I didn't expect it to be true?"
"Ah, you want us to find a way to eliminate sneaky people from these piles of old papers? We are poor readers, not great wizards who can slay demons!"
"Everyone, everyone, don't you think this is very interesting? The happiness of us scholars is to seek all the unknowable things in the world. Demons, ghosts, female ghosts, fox fairies, haha, I'm already excited!"
What a ‘big move of the index finger’!
Lu Qian put his feet up and wanted to take a look at this old gentleman with special tastes, but there were too many bookshelves, too high and too dense, and he didn't know who was making the bold remarks.
The old eunuch lowered his voice and chuckled: "Hey, if something like this happens in the palace, there will always be two. People who are not worried about the future will have immediate worries. Therefore, the Queen Mother issued an order to have the internal historian of the Internal History Mansion, as well as
The bachelors enshrined in the imperial city should come to the Secret History Supervisor to check the secret files and see if there is any good strategy to deal with it."
Lu Qian nodded, this was a very wise response.
The Queen Mother and the Emperor are definitely not so stupid as to think that as long as Concubine Qi and Lu Que are eliminated, the world will truly be at peace.
The old eunuch smiled and waved, and several young eunuchs pushed open the third closed stone door.
"Those two secret pavilions collect some supernatural and supernatural classics. Well, what is collected in this secret pavilion are various martial arts techniques. Oh, Mr. Tianyang, in this secret pavilion
The martial arts techniques in the world can be practiced, but the martial arts techniques in some secret pavilions below cannot be practiced at all."
Lu Qian turned around, glanced at the old eunuch, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the advice. Well, I have the martial arts of the Lu family in Jingyang. I don't need anything else. I just need some external skills to train personal guards."
That’s all.”
After a pause, Lu Qian smiled and said: "However, those books you mentioned that are completely impossible to practice, can you give me a few books so that I can learn from them?"
The old eunuch smiled kindly: "There is nothing that I cannot do. Well, since it is a reference, I will get you a few copies from the ancient, medieval, and ancient secret files."
"Hey, our family has been in the Secret History Prison all our lives. We like to look through these things when we are bored."
"Those ancient methods are just that. Among the medieval and ancient methods, there are actually some methods that say that you need to 'condensate the thunder of the nine heavens, turn the thunder light into thunder liquid', and 'wash the bones and muscles with thunder liquid'."
Become the 'Holy Body of Divine Thunder'."
"How...unbelievable?" The old eunuch shook his head and exclaimed, leading Lu Qian into the secret pavilion that had just been opened.
