Being an otaku in the world of American comics

About half an hour later, Liang Yue single-handedly broke into the Imperial City.

Facing this rebel who had been wreaking havoc in the capital for days, wantonly killing meritorious officials and loyal subjects of the court, as well as heroes of his clan, and who was now said to have ambushed and killed Ao Bai, the Manchurian First Warrior of our dynasty, in the street.

The sons of noble families who were serving as Imperial Guardsmen wilted after only a few attempts to resist!

Especially after Liang Yue used an RPG to blast open the gates of the Imperial City, the psychological resistance of these soldiers almost immediately dropped to its lowest point, their faces filled with panic as they fled towards the interior of the Imperial City.

Liang Yue followed them slowly.

However, when he had walked less than halfway across the large square in front of the Qianqing Palace, the young Kangxi Emperor, surrounded by a group of officials and numerous guards, took the initiative to come out to meet him.

It must be said that this little emperor with a face full of pockmarks, who was able to achieve such remarkable achievements in history, did indeed have his own extraordinary qualities.

At the young age of twelve or thirteen, he was able to muster the courage to negotiate with Liang Yue, this dangerous figure, in front of the palace.

Although his speech was a little trembling, he did indeed have his own sense of responsibility and ability, and it seemed that the education he received from an early age was indeed very different from that of ordinary people in this era.

Overtly and covertly, he even wanted to recruit me…

Liang Yue naturally didn't want to waste time with him and directly interrupted the little emperor's words of persuasion.

"Don't waste your breath. I advise you to take your clansmen and return to your Shengjing as soon as possible, lest I have to create another bloodbath in the future."

"Bold! You ~"

Faced with Liang Yue's "unreasonable" behavior, a young, sword-bearing attendant beside the little emperor suddenly stood up to show his loyalty.

But just as he began to speak, everyone heard a muffled "Pa" sound, and the little eunuch's head was directly blown apart by Liang Yue from a distance.

Amidst the splashing blood, the guards and ministers on the opposite side immediately fell into chaos.

Several loyal guards then raised thick shields to protect the somewhat frightened little emperor behind them.

For a time, various cries of "Protect the Emperor!" and "Capture him for me!" emerged frequently from the crowd, but no one dared to step forward.

Even the Imperial Guardsmen who were drawing their bows and arrows dared not release them at this time, but only protected the courtiers and the little emperor behind them, slowly retreating.

Seeing this, Liang Yue waved to the group of rulers and ministers who seemed to have been镇住 by him, and shouted loudly.

"Someone come and take me to the Imperial Archives!"

…

The Imperial Archives, also known as the 表章库, in modern terms, is the National Archives of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Well, in fact, it is more accurate to say that it is the National Archives of the Ming Dynasty now.

After all, the Qing Dynasty of the Tartars had only been established for a short time at this time, and there were not many archives to speak of.

Later, when the Qianlong Emperor ruled, a book-compiling movement almost destroyed the books in that museum.

Of course, to be fair, the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties were not bad, at least they didn't do things so absolutely.

Liang Yue's purpose in coming to the Imperial Archives at this time was also very simple, that is, to borrow books from this National Archives.

However, the deadline is unlimited!

"Creak ~" A soft sound.

Pushing open the heavy door, Liang Yue slowly walked into it.

A little eunuch behind him was holding an oil lamp at this time, walking in tremblingly, but was then waved away by him…

At this time, the entire building was somewhat dim, with only a few scattered lights around, and the air was filled with a strong fragrance of books.

Everywhere he looked, the room was very clean, and rows of bookshelves were neatly filled with various books. Obviously, the eunuchs responsible for cleaning here had done a good job.

Compared with this national-scale archive hall in front of him, the three-story Sutra Pavilion in Shaolin Temple was undoubtedly a bit petty.

Liang Yue was holding a torch at this time, slowly wandering among the tall bookshelves, his eyes wide open, browsing the books on both sides like a fleeting glance.

As he walked, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"《Commentary on the Water Classic》…"

"《Essential Techniques for the Welfare of the People》…"

"《The Art of War》~"

"《Yellow Court Scripture》~"

"Hmm? This is ~ 《Yongle Encyclopedia》… So many? Could it be the complete version!? That would be more than 10,000 volumes!"

"《Taiping Yulan》, 《Yiwen Leiju》, 《Cefu Yuangui》…"

…

"《Imperial Son's Art of the Bedchamber》… Tsk ~ There is even this kind of thing?"

"《Guiyuan Alchemy Secret Record》 The Taoist alchemy? I haven't heard of it before ~"

"《Taijiquan Scripture》… Hmm ~ It seems that the real content is finally starting!"

"《Turtle Breathing Technique》, 《Iron Shirt》, 《Stone Crushing Kick》, 《Five Elements Fist》, 《Hengshan Swordplay》… It's a pity that none of them are complete secret manuals."

"《Taizu Long Fist》, 《Flying Leaf Sword Technique》, 《Hun Yuan Gong》… 《Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover》, 《Iron Wire Fist》, 《Eagle Claw Technique》, 《Esoteric Great Handprint》…"

"《Stepping Across the River on a Reed》! This Shaolin stunt is also here? I wonder if the original version of the 《Golden Bell Cover》 can be found here. It doesn't have to be too complete, as long as it's a little more complete than the Shaolin Temple's version ~"

…

In the following time, Liang Yue began to immerse himself in the vast sea of books in front of him.

What he focused on was naturally the martial arts classics that could enhance his strength.

However, compared to other categories of books, martial arts classics actually accounted for only a small part of this Imperial Archives, about a hundred or so.

Most of them are severely incomplete versions, and I don't know whether this is due to the Qing court's improper preservation, or whether this world in the dark does not allow the existence of too advanced martial arts techniques.

Anyway, after searching back and forth, the most advanced technique that Liang Yue could find here was 《Hun Yuan Gong》.

As the saying goes, among the nine arts of Mount Hua, the Purple Haze is the first.

This 《Hun Yuan Gong》 is naturally not the legendary 《Purple Haze Divine Art》 that only the head of Mount Hua is qualified to practice, but it also belongs to the nine arts as Purple Haze.

It is a genuine Taoist cultivation method, and it is also the internal cultivation method that Liang Yue currently needs most!

Although this still made him a little unwilling because of his insatiable greed, it was enough for the time being.

In addition, in this Royal Archives, there were not many internal martial arts that Liang Yue could look up to. The Sunflower Manual, which is said to be only practiced by the special profession of eunuchs, was nowhere to be found.

However, another relatively well-known Qing Dynasty secret technique, 《Bone Melting Palm》, was found by Liang Yue on the bookshelf.

In addition to these limited hundred or so martial arts secrets, various classics of the classics, history, philosophy, and literature, as well as records of gods and monsters, are the mainstream collections in this Imperial Archives, accounting for the vast majority of the collection.

Among these, what Liang Yue valued most was naturally the complete version of the 《Yongle Encyclopedia》, and the Southern Song Dynasty version of the 《Daozang》 collection!
