"What makes up a book are indeed chapters and sentences, as well as the words that make up a sentence." With Qiu Yan's request and reminder, Hua She finally realized something, "And what is carved on the engraving is actually a There are so many characters, but how can this character be separated from the engraving?"

Qiu Yan said with a smile: "Words are indeed inseparable from engravings, but they are not necessarily engravings. This is just like you and I cannot do without articles when we are reading and literacy. But let me ask you, when you were young, you read, but every time you read a book, you have to read it again. Read the words?"

Hua She shook his head and said, "How could this happen? I have learned all the characters before reading and memorizing them. If the characters in each book are different, when should I learn this?"

Qiu Yan said with a smile: "That's it. You don't need to read words repeatedly to read, so why do you need to have a single edition for printing?" As soon as he said this, his body suddenly tensed, and his muscles and skin tightened instantly, but he was overwhelmed by a majestic force. Pressure, it’s hard to put into words!

This power does not come from any person or magic weapon, but from a continent's thoughts after death for thousands of years. How can the cultivation of flesh and blood be able to resist it?

Not to mention the flesh and blood body, even if the spirit body is here, we must avoid its sharp edges.

It's just that Qiu Yan's thoughts are strong and his appearance is normal, and others don't know.

The example of literacy mentioned by Qiu Yan also made Hua She understand, but he was still confused.

"Without the engraving, how can we carry the text? This character cannot be taken out alone... Huh?" When he said this, his heart moved, "That's right. If we could print each character one by one, wouldn't it save a lot of effort? After all, there are so many characters in the world. , but after all, these words are still the same as the text. If they can be composed alone and combined, wouldn't they be better than thousands of engravings? "

Boom!

There was another thunder in the sky!

This drought thunder came so suddenly that all the scholars in the courtyard were startled. They looked up. The view was clear and clear.

"What's going on? Something similar happened last night..."

Just as someone was talking about it, Hua She felt his thoughts gushing out like a spring. Combining his previous experience as a helper and thinking of the articles he had read and memorized, all his thoughts became clear at once.

"If each character is unique, it not only saves the need for engraving, but also saves the number of times of copying and engraving. There will be no situation where a book is left idle after printing, because the single-character engraving can be rearranged."

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. But there are also doubts and concerns rising in my heart.

In fact, many people have had similar ideas, but they were trapped in practical conditions and difficult to form. Huashe has been a helper for such a long time. After the initial excitement, he immediately thought of many practical problems.

After thinking about it, he looked at Qiu Yan. He asked as if asking for help: "Single characters per version, arrange and reuse the characters. However, the woodblock material is not easy to separate into individual characters. Firstly, it is difficult to maintain the spacing between characters. Secondly, it is even more difficult to carve. The wood grains are unevenly dense, and the entire version is not even. It doesn't matter, if it is the size of one character, it will stand out too much. If there are uneven small plates, how can they be put together? , not only is it not neat, but it is also difficult to read.”

As soon as he said this, the influence of cause and effect and the ebb and flow of luck created a gap in the terrifying power that suppressed Qiu Yan. This power originally prevented him from interfering with the operation of humanity beyond the norm, but Hua She, who was asking questions at the moment, It is also a part of human nature. Although his questions were inspired by Qiu Yan, they also came from his own experience and memory. Retreat slowly.

Qiu Yan, who had regained his composure, did not show any abnormality and just said: "Since I have thought of using a single character as the body, why should I limit my thoughts to the version?"

Hearing this, Hua She suddenly realized that Qiu Yan might have already had an idea in his mind, but he didn't have any unusual thoughts. He just wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible, so he bowed and asked, "Sir, please speak clearly."

The many questions he asked before have already sorted things out and explained them clearly. What is missing is just putting them together.

"You might as well try the burning and casting method." Qiu Yan replied, turning to face Qiu An in front of him and said, "Bring a pen and paper over here."

Qiu An nodded in agreement. After a while, he took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them on the table.

When everyone saw this, they vaguely guessed Qiu Yan's thoughts and showed curiosity.

"Since I have agreed to everyone's request, I might as well use this matter to write a letter. It is not a gift. I just write down what I know in my heart." After saying this, Qiu Yan turned around and sat down. He dipped his pen in ink and became calm. .

Phew~

To calm the rising wind, its meaning is light.

The atmosphere in the whole courtyard suddenly changed. Zheng Laowu and Meng Ting were shocked. They are both people who like pen and ink, so of course they knew what was going on before they started writing.

Zhang Shun, Hu Ye and others were also shaken. They were closest to the steps and were most impressed by the changes after Qiu Yan took the pen. They felt that there was more heat in the cool air.

The energy of blood!

As for Hua She, after hearing Qiu Yan's words, his heart was shocked and his thoughts were rolling. He escaped all the way and met many people who were good at baking craftsmanship along the way. Because he was naturally eager to learn, he started to inquire.

These craftsmanship is a secret that has not been passed down to many people, but natural disasters continue year after year, and people die at an unknown time, and there are those who are unique and do not want the craftsmanship to be lost. When someone like Hua She comes across the casserole and asks for the truth, The man said it half-heartedly.

Hua She remembered it as long as he could. When Qiu Yan mentioned it, the thoughts in his mind suddenly came together, and he murmured something. He was immersed in his mind for a moment and couldn't extricate himself. He only suddenly came back to his senses when the heat in the air became more and more. , and as I followed it, I saw the scene of Qiu Yan stretching his arms.

"The shackles are finally gone!" I heard Qiu Yan say this, but after that, he finally put the changes in human nature back on track. The restraint on his body had receded and he could stretch his muscles.

With Hua She's words, this change in printing technology has been born and is no longer vague. At this point, the words in Qiu Yan's heart can be officially expressed even if they are not extraordinary.

Then, he pressed the brush, and the strokes were full of blood and blood. There was more sense of freedom and wantonness than before. There was more blood in the rules. Each stroke was like two armies fighting. The lights of swords and shadows were in the chaos. There is still order in the middle, and then surging energy and blood roar out from the rice paper!

All the Confucian scholars present were amazed by this change, and regardless of etiquette, they stepped forward to take a look at everyone's writings. However, after getting closer, their eyes fell on the paper, and what they saw was this line of text——

"Use clay to carve words, as thin as money's lips, each word is a seal, and the fire will make it hard..."

There was no brilliance in writing as expected, just ordinary words, and it seemed that he was still talking about the craftsman's method, which suddenly made many people feel a little depressed.

But some people took a look at it——

"...First set up an iron plate, on which rosin, wax, paper ash and the like are poured out. If you want to print, place an iron mold on the iron plate to densely cover the words and seals. The iron mold is filled with a plate and held When the fire is exposed and the medicine is slightly melted, press a flat plate on its surface, and the words will be as flat as a stone."

"What does this say?"

If we talk about reading for learning and quoting scriptures, the scholars present are very good at it. But when it comes to burning, casting and printing, they don't know much about it. They only know a rough idea at most. How can they understand what Qiu Yan is writing?

Even Qiu Yan's predecessor knew about these things, but after all, he had concepts. With the help of the divine body's computing power, it was not difficult to deduce methods and techniques. He only needed to make a few more assumptions and simulations. Just experiment.

But for people in this world, this kind of thing has never happened before, and there is no precedent before. The accumulation of technology seems complete, but the span between the two industries is still there, and no one has tried to combine the two. , this is hindered by human nature, and something that is suddenly taken out without trying is tantamount to creating out of thin air.

In serious cases, it can even cause the collapse of the human structure. Even if it grows for a while, the end result of an unstable foundation is that after it develops to a certain level, it will become unsustainable, or it will go astray, and eventually fall into silence and regression.

The Fengqiu, Feihong Bridge and other things that Qiu Yan took out in the past were just one or two small inventions, which were only temporary interference at most. Moreover, there were similar things in ancient times, but due to various reasons, they were submerged in the long river of history. In addition, he was a low-key man at the time. It is not Buzhou's turn to interfere.

But printing is different. The inheritance of knowledge is related to the survival and development direction of humanity. In that previous life, it was respected as one of the four great inventions, which is unusual. Qiu Yan's current personality is enough to set off a trend, so he will be restricted. , but it also allowed him to discover this huge power!

"Perhaps the reason why supernatural powers can be born and exist is related to the thought of death. However, the key point is still difficult to touch, and there is no way to start. It is vast and vast. If I touch it, I will be suppressed in an instant. , let alone research.”

After the thought fell, Qiu Yan put away the pen in his hand, raised his hand and waved it, and the hot breath lingering on the paper suddenly dispersed.

The Confucian scholars surrounding him could not understand the meaning of the text, but they did not prevent them from appreciating the beauty brought by the simple font, so they gathered around.

But when the words on the paper fell into Hua She's eyes, he was shocked, and the pillar of destiny rose into the sky above his head!

At the same time, Qiu Yan's luck also changed, but instead of flying away to the sky, it turned inward and merged with the fire in his heart.

As soon as the inner fire changed, the entire soul and Yin spirit emitted light, and tiny blocks of words were born one after another in the light. Different words were listed on the blocks, gathering and dispersing, as if they were alive, and they all had a weak spirituality.

call!

Between the heaven and the earth, the majestic energy spreads, the clouds change, the dragon energy rises, and the halo of hundreds of families flies from all over Donghua, blends into the luck of Huashe, and gathers around Qiu Yan.

Behind Qiu Yan, three rays of light kept changing.

Aura of hundreds of families!

Then, the fourth halo was faintly born, but before it took shape, it was absorbed by the Yin spirit. The word blocks suddenly glowed, rushing towards the hole in the soul, and they rushed in! (To be continued...)
