Chapter 297: The Altar Shakes [1 More]

Looking at China, there are only a handful of families that have truly passed down for more than a thousand years, namely the Kong family in Qufu, the Zhang family in Jiangxi, and even the Zhang family are hundreds of years behind the Kong family.

Especially the legacy of the Kong family saints provides a natural guarantee for the inheritance of the Kong family's collection of books. If there are thousands of years of sages, the biggest possibility is the Kong family.

Walking among bookshelf, many of the books are so mottled that many of them are mottled. Fortunately, the Kong family loves these books very much, otherwise many of them would probably disappear into the world for various reasons during this period.

Before a bookshelves, the books on it were even more damaged. Kong Wen sighed: "Most of the books stored in this place are from the Tang Dynasty. Because of the long time, many of them are already damaged. Fortunately, my Kong family will send special people to maintain and copy these books that show signs of damage. In this way, even if they are originally damaged, at least there will be copies."

Chu Yi nodded slightly. No matter what, the Kong family's move still played a certain role in the inheritance and protection of Chinese culture.

Going further forward, the book is a volume of classics rolled from bamboo slips. Even these bamboo slips look quite old, and the colors of those bamboo slips are extremely dull.

Yan Qi pointed to the bamboo slips that occupied a large area and said, "These are all classics from the Qin and Han dynasties collected by the two families, but these bamboo slips are also seriously damaged. Fortunately, the contents have been copied and preserved by our ancestors, so not many people have read these bamboo slips."

Chu Yi sighed lightly: "There will always be wars in China for hundreds of years. I don't know how many classics disappear in the war. The Kong family preserves many classics, including classics involving agriculture, medicine, astronomy and geography. Chu will send a special person to organize, copy and engrave them so that they can spread them to the world. I hope the Kong family can open a convenient door!"

Kong Wenzheng heard this and said seriously: "I have heard that the Grand Chief Manager likes to collect classics and publish many lonely books. The rare books are passed on to benefit all the students in the world. The Grand Chief Manager is such a grand ceremony. I, Kong, should follow the footsteps of the General Manager and be willing to assist the General Manager in publishing classics."

You don’t have to think about it and know that Kong Wenzheng’s words are definitely not right. In this era, knowledge also represents identity and status. Although these families nowadays have no stricter monopoly on knowledge than before, many lonely and rare books are indeed in the hands of these families with a long history. They have never been passed on to outsiders and regard them as family heritage. Many precious classics in China have been cut off from inheritance and disappeared into the long river of history.

It would be strange if these people wanted to take out the secretly hidden books of the family and spread them to the world. However, the Kong family did not dare to ignore Chu Yi's intentions when facing Chu Yi. Although these books were precious, fortunately, Chu Yi did not want to publish all the books of the same book, but chose the books in medical books, agricultural books, astronomy, geography and other aspects to publish them.

In comparison, the people of the Kong family naturally valued those precious Confucian classics. As for these medical books, agricultural books, etc., they are also something that can be abandoned. Since you can gain Chu Yi's favor by giving some irrelevant classics, why not do such a good thing?

Chu Yi opened some classics casually, and there was no reaction to the altar of luck in the sea of ​​consciousness. Needless to say, many of these classics were named as great scholars and sages, but in fact, more of them were copied by later generations. As for the original handwritten books of the sages, they were either hidden by the Kong family, or they had long been damaged in time.

Kong Wenzheng had been secretly paying attention to Chu Yi's expression change. Seeing that Chu Yi had not shown any interest in these classics, Kong Wenzheng felt a little worried.

According to the news collected by the Kong family, Chu Yi loved many classics of his ancestors, so he specially led Chu Yi to this area.

There are many classics of ancestors stored here, and Chu Yi took a lot of them from the bookshelf. Unfortunately, Chu Yi just flipped through them and placed them on the bookshelf, which made Kong Wenzheng very puzzled by Chu Yi’s reaction.

Just when Kong Wenzheng was puzzled, Chu Yi looked at Kong Wenzheng and said, "Mr. Kong, the Kong family has been passed down for thousands of years and has passed down the poetry and books. Chu once heard from others that he has collected classics written by his wise men in the Kong family. I wonder if Chu has such an honor to see it?"

Kong Wenzheng was stunned when he heard this, with a look of suddenness on his face, and he realized in his heart that Chu Yi was not interested in these classics, but was originally interested in the classics of his ancestors.

When it comes to the original texts of the sages, Kong Wenzheng naturally hesitated, but in just a moment of effort, Kong Wenzheng made a decision.

As an old man from the Kong family, although he was a bit beyond the reach of taking people to watch the classics of his ancestors, if this person was Chu Yi, even if he was Yansheng Gong Kong Wenshao, he would definitely not stop him.

Anyway, their Kong family has made up their minds to entertain Chu Yi no matter what the price they pay. Anything their Kong family can do will definitely not refuse Chu Yi's request.

It was just to watch the original scriptures of the ancestors, which was not much loss for the Kong family, so Kong Wen made a decision in a blink of an eye.

A smile appeared on his face, Kong Wen was telling Chu Yi: "My Kong family does have the classics written by the sages by their own hands, but most of them are mottled and eroded by time, and many of them have been broken to the limit. After my ancestors of the Kong family ordered people to copy them, they would carefully treasure them in a secret room, and would not be allowed to contact them in an ordinary situation, for fear of damage to the treasures of the sages!"

Chu Yi narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Oh, it seems that Chu doesn't have this blessing!"

Kong Wenzheng heard this and hurriedly said, "The General Manager is joking. With the General Manager's knowledge, there are few people in the world, so he is naturally qualified to view the classics of the ancestors."

Kong Wenzheng smiled bitterly in his heart. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the general manager might have changed his face if he said he had changed his face. The Kong family would not be able to provoke such a great god. If he hated Chu Yi because of this problem, then he would be the biggest sinner of the Kong family.

While speaking, Kong Wen was the first to lead the way to Chu Yi and said, "Master General, please follow me!"

Chu Yi nodded slightly, and saw Kong Wen leading the way through a bookshelves. He saw a incense table and a stone statue in the middle of the library. Just looking at the stone statue, Chu Yi could recognize it at a glance. This was the statue of Confucius, a Confucian sage.

Kong Wenzheng stepped forward and straightened his clothes, bowed respectfully to the statue, and then pressed one hand on the incense burner and pressed it vigorously, and a slight vibration came.

I saw the statue of Confucius moving slowly, and an entrance about the size of a person appeared on the ground.

The library that Chu Yi wrote was not one or two. It can be said that the design of the secret rooms is almost the same, and most of them are repaired under the library.

Kong Wen was just walking down the stone steps first, and Chu Yi slowly entered with his hands on his back. At first glance, Chu Yi found that the underground stone chamber was much larger than the Zhu family secret chamber he had seen. Stone columns supported the entire secret chamber, and the surrounding walls were made of bluestone. Not to mention anything else, just building such an underground secret chamber is not something that ordinary families can afford.

However, compared to the huge Kong family, this project is really nothing. After the rewards of all dynasties, the Kong family has no less than hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land alone. With at least tens of thousands of tenants who live with the Kong family, they can easily gather thousands of young and strong people to do their work for the Kong family.

However, when Chu Yi saw the many bamboo slips in the secret room, he also understood why the underground secret room of the Kong family was so big.

There are really too many bamboo slips. You should know that during the Spring and Autumn Period and even the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were no silk and paper, and classics were recorded on the bamboo slips.

Sometimes a book requires tens of thousands of bamboo slips, piled together, and half a room can be installed.

There is a saying that it is full of worries, and there is also a saying that it is rich in knowledge. What it means is that these classics are recorded on bamboo slips, and storage and transportation are extremely labor-intensive.

It seems that the underground secret room has a vast space, but in fact, if you really want to say it, you can't store too much. After all, these bamboo slips occupy a lot of space.

Kong Wen was walking to a neatly arranged bamboo slips and said, "Please read the master, this is the incomplete chapter of "Spring and Autumn" compiled by the sages. It has been thousands of years since then and it has long been incomplete!"

Chu Yi nodded slightly. After all, Chu Yi was well-read in poetry and books, so naturally there were books recorded by Confucius. Confucius taught him throughout his life, and there were many disciples under his sects, and there were seventy-two great sages who revised the Six Classics. However, Confucius revised more. Confucius said that he would not mention it. Even the "Spring and Autumn Annals" was compiled by his disciples and even his disciples after Confucius passed away and compiled the content of Confucius' lectures.

None of the Six Confucian Classics, "Poetry", "Book", "Rite", "Music", "Book of Changes", and "Spring and Autumn Annals" was written by Confucius, so Chu Yi never thought of seeing the classics written by Confucius.

Of course, if what Kong Wenzheng said is true, and the incomplete "Spring and Autumn" in front of him is indeed written by Confucius' disciples and his re-editors, then this Spring and Autumn must contain great luck. After all, many of Confucius' disciples are sages and great scholars.

He stepped forward slowly and Chu Yi held one of the bamboo slips in his hand. It was obvious that the bamboo slips had lasted at least a thousand years, and even the handwriting on them was a little blurred.

"Spring and Autumn" is the history of Lu. It was written by the Shishi of Lu, and it was recorded by Confucius and kept by it to be trusted by later generations! Such a historical book has actually exceeded the scope of historical books and is regarded as a Confucian classic by literati of all generations.

Just as Chu Yi held the bamboo slip in his hand and slowly spread it out. The words on it came into his eyes. The altar of luck in the sea of ​​consciousness was indeed slightly vibrated.
