"I never thought that one day, I would actually become a librarian."
Chen Mu followed behind a steward and walked into a thick door. Here was the Great Wei Academy's library, which contained countless collections of books, the most valuable cultural wealth of Great Wei.
Starting today, he would work here as a lowly ranked handyman, rounded up to the equivalent of a librarian.
He is a transmigrator from Earth.
Three days ago, he crossed over to this world and became a thirteen-year-old boy.
Embarrassingly, Chen Mu did not inherit the original owner's memories, only that his family had a huge accident and he was brought to the capital city of Great Wei by a loyal old servant to join his uncle.
Before he woke up, the old servant passed away.
The uncle who met him for the first time asked him to change his name and surname, and then asked for help, and sent him to the Great Wei Academy, becoming a glorious library handyman.
Obviously, this was to avoid enemies.
That uncle said, although the Great Wei Academy is not back to its former glory, the foundation is still there. Stay there, it is very safe. After a few years, after the wind has passed, he will pick me up.
Therefore, as soon as Chen Mu's injury healed, the uncle couldn't wait to send him over.
Suddenly, the serious-looking butler in front stopped, turned his head, and said to him, "This is where you will live. Put your things away first. After you change your clothes, come out immediately."
"Yes, Steward Fang."
Chen Mu walked into the shabby room, put his things away, and put on a black handyman's clothing.
After going out, he followed Steward Fang to a library.
"This is the T-shaped Shenlei Library, and this manager Liu is in charge. From now on, you will work with him. Do it well, don't be lazy." Manager Fang left after finishing speaking.
Manager Liu had gray hair, was very old, and looked like an old Confucian scholar. After asking Chen Mu's name, he said, "What is stored here are some unimportant miscellaneous books, and few people come here. You clean the inside every day. Just one time, it is a relatively leisurely life."
Then, he told him some rules.
The library is the most important place in the academy. The rules are very strict. You can't walk around, destroy books, and so on. Once found, deduction of money is a trivial matter, serious matter will be expelled from the academy.
Chen Mu wrote these down one by one, and when he entered the library, he smelled the musty smell that is unique to books after they have been stored for a long time. A little smoky.
Take a closer look. There are dozens of rows of bookshelves, at least one thousand square meters. Can't help but take a deep breath. Do you want me to clean such a big place alone?
"Go to work." Manager Liu picked up a book and sat at the door to read it.
Chen Mu sighed, picked up the broom, and started cleaning.
I don't know how long it took, and when he cleaned the entire library, he was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist. Put the broom aside, regardless of the dirt on the ground; sit on the ground and rest.
He picked up a book from the bookshelf behind him and flipped through it.
Although he did not inherit the memory of the original owner, the basic skills are still there, such as literacy.
This is a playbook, written in semi-vernacular language, about a man named Wen Sheng, who merged hundreds of schools, founded academies, led his disciples to pacify the northern barbarians, and educated the people.
This half-written, half-white style of writing is quite interesting, or it may be too boring. He actually read it with relish, and unknowingly, he finished the whole book.
When turning the book to the last page, Chen Mu suddenly felt a trance.
At the same time, a grand voice rang out in his mind, "I am good at nurturing my immense qi!" It shook his mind blank.
"This is-"
Chen Mu came back from his trance, and his mind was in shock.
In his mind, there is an additional exercise called "Honorable Righteousness". Every word above seems to be engraved in his mind. According to the above description, practice to the highest realm and have unparalleled power.
This is no hallucination.
"Reading, rewards, techniques?"
Chen Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was beating wildly. This is the system.
...
At the same time, in the main courtyard of the academy, one of the major holy places of the Great Wei Dynasty, the portrait of the scholar hanging in the center of the hall vibrated violently. Wen Sheng!
For a time, the sun in the sky dimmed.
In the academy, countless scholars were disturbed and rushed out of the room, worshipping the phantom in the sky.
In the lobby, Dean Zhao Zhiyu and several great scholars appeared at the same time. Looking at the abnormality of the portraits in the hall, they all looked shocked. They leaned over and saluted the portraits one after another without saying a word.
After a while, the white light from the portrait dissipated, and the phantom in the sky also disappeared.
Dean Zhao Zhiyu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said, "Wen Qi is soaring, resonating with Wen Sheng's portrait, what it means. Everyone should be very clear."
It has been two thousand years since Wen Sheng established the academy. Similar things have only happened three times.
In each case, it was because someone had written a Confucian classic that could have succeeded in the past.
These three, all of whom later became sub-sages, are now enshrined in the Temple of Literature.
"My Confucianism has finally ushered in the opportunity of great prosperity." A great Confucian with an ancient appearance was excited.
Several other great Confucian scholars did the same. These great Confucians, who usually preached most about the collapse of Mount Tai without changing their colors, had long since left behind their usual teachings to their students.
Since the death of the half-saint of the academy five hundred years ago.
The academy was suppressed by the imperial power, and then split. The academy, which used to have a detached status and looked down on the world, began to decline.
By now, the academy, not to mention the half-saint, even the literary academy, has not appeared for nearly a century.
Today's academy has withdrawn from the ranks of the top forces and is only supported by its previous reputation.
Now, the academy finally has another half-saint talent who resonates with the literary sage, ushering in the hope of revival. These great scholars who are struggling to support the academy are naturally excited.
"Who would that person be?"
Suddenly, a great Scholar with three strands of beard said.
There was silence in the lobby.
After being reminded by him, the others all calmed down, each with an odd expression.
Yes, who is the person who wrote the article that can resonate with Wen Sheng?
The person who can write this kind of article at least, must be a great scholar realm. However, in addition to the few people present in the academy, there are also two people who are traveling abroad. Where are the other great scholars?
Could it be that there is still a hidden scholar who is obsessed with knowledge and unknown in the academy?
"Check!"
Dean Zhao Zhiyu said categorically, "It is related to the future of my academy. Please do your best to investigate. However, the investigation must not be made public."
Several great scholars said with awe, "Yes, sir.
The vision in the sky above the academy was so amazing that everyone in the capital of Great Wei saw it.
In the palace, behind the dragon chair, in a hanging bead curtain, a noblewoman in a phoenix robe can be seen vaguely, staring in one direction with deep eyes, and after a long time, two words spit out, " The Academy..."
In the west of the city, in a small red building, a man hidden in the shadows caressed a broken arrow in his hand, looked in the direction of the academy, and said nothing.
At the same time, several other places in the capital, and many hidden places in the territory of Great Wei, as well as outside of Great Wei, the grassland tents in the north, the temples deep in the desert in the west, the caves in the Hundred Thousand mountain in the south, and the islands overseas in the east, all eyes are watching.
On this day, the vision of the academy caused the world's major forces to surge.
And at this time, Chen Mu, who started it all, was thrilled to have awakened the system, not even knowing how big a shock he had just caused.
