The Emperor is Above

Chapter 277: Xing Shuan, a Young Imperial Clan Member

"In the fairyland beyond the sea, there is a country of winged people. They have wings and ride on clouds to travel beyond the four seas!"

The author of "Strange Scriptures of the Great Wilderness" uses the first person to describe the various miraculous experiences and strange stories he encountered while traveling around the Great Wilderness.

It not only describes the miracle of someone in a fairyland overseas who has wings on his back and can fly around in the sky, but also tells the story of a fisherman who was fishing on the beach and encountered an injured alien with webbed feet and fish fins.

After the fishermen rescued him, the stranger expressed his gratitude to the fishermen for saving his life and gave them a pearl as big as a human head, and thus his family became a wealthy one in the local area.

If you think carefully about the battlefield in the illusion of the ancient battlefield, the main force fighting in the sky are winged people. Although there are no aliens with webbed feet and fish fins in the illusion, there are similar races in the murals of the Temple of a Hundred Races.

Obviously, many of the things recorded in the Great Wilderness Strange Scripture are real events, rather than absurd and weird stories fabricated to attract people's attention.

However, when I turned to the last page, I saw a line of words written in a flowing style: It was all absurd nonsense - Xing Zhengyang.

"Xing Zhengyang? This should be a note left by a royal family member decades ago!"

Qing Yi smiled slightly when he saw this. Many ancient races written in this "Great Wilderness Strange Scripture" may appear again in the near future. He wondered if Xing Zhengyang would be shocked by this.

When Qing Yi finished reading the few books around him, Pan Qing also sorted and recorded all the valuable books on the first floor of the library.

Estimating that it was almost midnight, Qing Yi did not feel sleepy at all during the night due to practicing Taiyi Qi Refining Technique, so he walked towards the second floor of the library. He wanted to hurry and scan the entire library.

According to Yang Hu's previous introduction, the second floor of the library contained approximately 50,000 volumes of books, mainly a small number of bamboo slips and animal skin scrolls and books.

The recorded contents are mainly the basic introductory books for talisman masters, pharmacists, weapon refiners, and sorcerers, as well as corresponding practice notes, practice tips, etc.

"Huh? There's someone here?"

After Qing Yi went up to the second floor, he unexpectedly discovered that there were still a dozen students studying hard in the library in the middle of the night. They were all imperial students he had never seen before.

There were talisman masters, pharmacists, weapon refiners, and several people dressed as sorcerers. They didn't talk to each other, but kept a certain distance from each other, quietly flipping through the books or thinking. Even if they heard Qing Yi's footsteps, they would just glance at him and continue with their own things.

Seeing so many people on the second floor, Qing Yi slowed down his steps and let Pan Qing record the contents of the book while he was also flipping through the book eagerly.

After entering the second floor of the library, Qing Yi was like a dragon entering the sea. Everything he needed was found in the numerous books.

Many of the puzzles he had when he was studying on his own have now been answered perfectly, especially the pharmacist and talisman master, who have made great progress. He has even gained a deep understanding of areas of cultivation that he has never touched before, such as refining equipment, mechanisms, and sorcerers.

However, Qing Yi flipped through the books too quickly. Even though he tried to move more gently, the heavy bamboo slips, wooden slips, and animal skin scrolls still made loud noises in the quiet night, causing dissatisfaction among other students.

"My dear brother, I am honored to meet you!"

A fifteen-year-old elegant young man in luxurious clothes bowed gracefully and said, "The Imperial College Library has always been fully open to Imperial College students. It is a good thing that you come to the library to study.

However, reading and studying is for enriching oneself, not for showing off to others. What's the point of making noise in the library late at night?"

"Do you think I am pretending and not really reading?" Qing Yi couldn't help laughing as he looked at the serious-looking young man in front of him.

There were also seven or eight other students from the Imperial Academy. Seeing the elegant young man's actions, they all came over to protest, "You flip through the book every breath, sometimes even several times. How can you be reading in such a short time? Everyone reads carefully. How can anyone be so perfunctory as you?"

"You guys just misunderstood!"

Qing Yi cupped his hands and chuckled as he explained, "I just read through these books. Although I flipped through them quickly, I have memorized them by heart. If you don't believe me, feel free to ask me."

"I still don't believe you can really remember all of them!"

The elegant young man frowned slightly, and really pulled out a beast-skin book. After carefully flipping through two pages, he suddenly asked, "What's written on the third page of this book?" "This is a preliminary book for sorcerers to practice, and the third page is the beginning of the text."

Qing Yi smiled without hesitation and said, "The art cannot be described, cannot be named, cannot be imagined, cannot be compared. What is called the art nowadays is just a forced name! Therefore, to cultivate the art..."

Amid the shocked look on the elegant young man's face, Qing Yi recited the entire book word for word. The other students of the Imperial Academy were not convinced and each took out a book to test Qing Yi.

But no matter how difficult it was for them, Qing Yi never hesitated and always gave the most perfect answer, which made them feel ashamed and discouraged:
"So you are really studying. We are so unworthy to bother you."

"We study hard day and night, thinking we are studying hard enough. However, after working hard for a whole day and night, we are still not as good as you who casually flip through the pages. I am ashamed of your memory talent alone."

The elegant young man bowed solemnly and apologized, saying, "I was rude just now. A frog in a well cannot understand the vastness of the ocean, and a sparrow in the weeds cannot understand the height of a swan.

"My name is Xing Shuan, and I can barely be considered a member of the royal family. May I know your name? I haven't seen you at the Imperial College in all these years."

"So you are a descendant of the royal family. I am Guqiu Yi, a high-ranking vassal!"

Qing Yi also bowed seriously in return. The Imperial College itself was a place for the children of the Marquis of Xing and members of the royal family to study, so it was normal to meet a few members of the royal family.

However, it is extremely rare to see a royal family member who studies so seriously like the elegant young man in front of him. As long as he maintains such a diligent attitude towards study, he will surely become an important official in the court in the future.

Thinking of this, Qing Yi smiled at the elegant young man and said, "In fact, the reason I can remember so much information so quickly is because of a secret family method called the chain memory method..."

"Family secret method?"

"Chain memory method?"

Xing Shuan and other students of the Imperial Academy immediately exclaimed, anyone who carries a family secret method is not simple, let alone a family secret method that helps with memory?

Not only did Xing Shuan and seven or eight other students listen attentively, but even the five or six students who were still reading books came over with a smile on their faces.

Qing Yi's photographic memory comes from Pan Qing. The chain memory method is just an excuse, but through scientific and reasonable training in the memory method, it is indeed possible to quickly improve a person's memory.

Xing Shuan and a dozen other students from the Imperial College studied hard at night. They were obviously a small group who studied extremely seriously and diligently. After a simple attempt, they quickly discovered the benefits of this method of memorization, and a feeling of gratitude suddenly surged in their hearts.

The dozen or so young men had just met each other, and since Qing Yi had done them such a great favor, they felt embarrassed to leave Qing Yi to continue reading, so they just sat in a circle and chatted.

Qing Yi already had memories of his past life, and with the vast amount of knowledge from the books he obtained from Pan Qing, he seemed particularly knowledgeable in his speech and behavior. Even those students of the Imperial Academy who prided themselves on being knowledgeable felt inferior to him and admired and respected him in their hearts.

Before they knew it, Qing Yi had become the center of the whole topic. The young men were chatting one after another, and before they felt satisfied, they found that it was already dawn, and a feeling of regret suddenly arose in their hearts.

After putting all the books in his hands back on the bookshelf, Qing Yi said with an apologetic smile: "Although we haven't had a candlelit night talk, I still feel that we met too late, and I can't wait to continue chatting.

Unfortunately, I have plans to meet up with my good friends Zhu Zhiwu and Yang Hu, as well as some classmates, so I have to say goodbye to you all for now."

"Guqiu Yi!"

Xing Shuan called Qing Yi, a hint of hesitation on his face, "I also know Zhu Zhiwu and Yang Hu, I wonder if you can take me with you?"

"Well, I didn't think this through!" Qing Yi thought for a moment and then bowed to the dozen or so Imperial College students, "They and I are researching new animal tusk puppet soldiers. If you are interested, you may come along."

"New beast-tusk puppet soldiers?" The dozen or so students first frowned, then smiled thoughtfully, "Guqiu Yi is knowledgeable and talented. Since the beast-tusk puppet soldiers were made by you, they must be interesting. Let's go together!"
