No.476 Greet another dawn
The rotation of the earth never stops because of what one person has done, whether it is Genghis Khan, who plundered half the world, or the small atomic bomb that exploded in Hiroshima.
That is to say, the glorious achievements of the past in the eyes of others will one day only appear in history books or even by word of mouth.
In the afternoon, Wang Jian and Lin Yaxuan returned to Dongda and spent a whole afternoon in the library, consulting quite a lot of records about the elixir of life.
I have to say and admit that when my things can only be consulted in other countries, that mood is actually quite depressing, and even Wang Jian has the crooked heart to secretly take these records away.
The proposition of immortality occupies a large weight in these books, which shows that the fear of death was not born suddenly overnight. Of all the sources, the earliest mention of this is found around 1046 BC during the pre-Qin period.
That is, King Wu began to fight the war, but at that time it was only a prototype and an idea, and the real alchemy about immortality was recorded after 770 BC, that is, during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
This is just a simple record, and now it seems that it is not different from the mythological story, the record says that there was a man who lived for a full 179 years and was still in the prime of life, and was treated as a monster by the powerful forces of the time and tortured by the chariot split.
According to the current way of thinking, this account is definitely surreal. But Wang Jian was quite interested in this account.
Because if nothing else...... This person was probably the first guy to eat crabs, but in the end he was forcibly eliminated because he offended someone and some rules, as for his formula, it was not surprising that it became this set of magic books of Wang Jian's master.
Wang Jian took a closer look at the date of this, the nineteenth year of the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, and the date of the historical comparison table is 668 BC.
And if you look further down, the famous legend of immortality and the search for the elixir of life for hundreds of years from this time suddenly became a blank, forming a vacuum period, which lasted until the time of Qin Shi Huang.
Some people say that Qin Shi Huang got the elixir of life, while others say that this thing is simply an ethereal dream. However, judging from the above records and his own experience in studying history, Wang Jian is definitely not a mediocre and incompetent guy, on the contrary, even in modern times, some of his views still maintain a certain advanced surname.
It is conceivable that such a person will never look for the so-called elixir of life out of nothing, so this thing is definitely an established fact! Especially for someone like Wang Jian who really knows that immortality exists, this Qin Shi Huang now looks more like a loser in a game!
Since this is the case, then the question arises, who is he playing with? In other words, who is hindering this generation of emperors from pursuing the immortality he desires! The point is who has the ability and energy to thwart a so-called tyrant of the ages and succeed!
Zhao Gao? Although he is quite famous, in the end he is just a middle-aged man with a strong sense of small farmers, and Yingzheng is not something he can play to win. In other words, there is a huge force group operating behind Ying Zheng, and this power group not only controls a certain national discourse, but also controls the legendary elixir.
Extrapolating backwards, although Wang Jian's books are not products of the Qin Dynasty, the things on them are really preserved, so Wang Jian feels that it can be understood in this way - first of all, his master had already obtained the complete formula of immortality at that time, but for some reason and consideration, it was forbidden for anyone to use it, including the people of the sect itself, even the head of the sect.
And the matter of immortality, almost all the kings of the past knew about it, but few of the important ministers around them knew the secret, so if you look at it this way, your own master is definitely directly responsible for the emperor. Moreover! He even held some rights other than those of the emperor.
These things are not something that Wang Jian excavated for a while, in fact, there is a lot of meaning here. As the current leader, it is one of his duties to find his roots, and since he is willing to take on the obligation of guarding this Pandora's box, he must know the ins and outs of the matter.
"If there is really immortality, it will have an unprecedented impact on the structure of human society." Lin Yaxuan is worthy of being a top student of sociology: "It may even lead mankind into history completely, which may be something that your predecessors are afraid of." β
Wang Jiantou: "I have always felt that the wisdom of our ancestors is definitely not something we can underestimate, and those TV series that make the ancients idiots at every turn are typical of lack of common sense." β
After speaking, he pointed to the materials that had been stacked up in his hand, turned his head to Lin Yaxuan and said, "This is already all?" β
"yes
There are still a lot of precious documents here, which I borrowed in the name of writing papers, and you don't have to count on the original version, which is considered a heavy national treasure in this book. Lin Yaxuan looked very seriously: "What do you see?" β
Yes, did Wang Jian see something? This information is certainly incomplete, because it can find the origin, but the records after the Tang Dynasty began to be undocumented, but one is certain...... Liu An, the king of Huainan, is actually a member of the sect...... If such a famous person is also his own teacher, then what did it do after the Tang Dynasty? And when it was at its strongest, how did such a huge institution that absolutely completely explode the Heavenly Society behemoth end up in the situation it is today?
Wang Jian's head has grown a big circle, and now it is certain that immortality is real and there have been practical cases, and this person's killing, there is no need to think that it was done by someone from his own master, and after that, there has been no real similar thing, that is to say, since then, there has been no finished product of the elixir, but the emperors of all dynasties have known...... "This is too cola." Wang Jian turned his head to look at Lin Yaxuan and said very sincerely: "I suddenly feel that there is a very funny possibility. β
"What?"
Wang Jian pinched his forehead: "My master may have ruled the whole of Asia at one time. β
"Why?"
"If you use the elixir as bait, let those emperors go down step by step according to their layout. Does this count as disguised control? β
Of course, it's really hard to believe this kind of thing, but it's not impossible. If you go back to the source, you can probably see many things at a glance.
"What's the point of you're in such a hurry to find these things?" Lin Yaxuan is not Xiaojin or Tianren, ordinary people just have ordinary people's questions: "Even if your ancestor is a pharaoh, so what?" β
"It's not like that, because you have to know...... If I want to integrate the remnants, I'll have to find them first. But it's hard to find a sea of people. You can only find a branch from history, and then extrapolate from the branch, and the probability will be much higher. Wang Jian thought for a while: "If you are poor, you will put it aside and discuss it again, and if you are rich, you will be since ancient times." β
"You just keep muffling and die." Lin Yaxuan stretched her waist, and her beautiful curves made the saliva of a lewd thin man wearing thick glasses in a position next door flow to her chest: "I'll go buy dinner for the night." β
"Don't leave my sight!"
In this situation, Wang Jian thought of the girl in college for a moment, almost the same scene and the same dialogue, which made Wang Jian's nerves tense, and even his face showed a hideous look.
"Why are you so nervous about me?" Lin Yaxuan smiled and said, "You also underestimate me too much, have you forgotten what I came from?" β
"No, it's just no." Wang Jian said very sternly: "My hunch has always been very smart. β
Lin Yaxuan's eyes rolled around, and then shrugged: "Okay, then I'll accompany you here, you can study your history textbook well." β
Wang Jian saw that she was no longer obsessed with leaving, so he buried his head in the information again. Most of these materials are things that cannot be found in China, and they are quite precious. And this preciousness is also reflected in the few words in it, and the amount of information integrated is quite large.
Throughout the course of history, all kinds of seemingly mythical things have emerged one after another, immortality is only one part of it, and what rekindled Wang Jian's interest was a kind of Gu magic!
This kind of Gu is described in the record as extremely similar...... Wang Jian.
No, no, no...... It shouldn't be said that it is the characteristics of it after it is placed on people, like some of Wang Jian's basic characteristics. Living is a humanoid weapon, and judging from the narrative version, Wang Jian's current state is especially its castrated version, you must know that the "invulnerability" described in that text is not a joke, and Wang Jian has not reached this Cheng dΓΉ.
"I've got a lot of stuff in this class." Wang Jianwu sighed to himself: "What a headache......"
The decryption process lasted until the sun was about to set in the afternoon, and Lin Yaxuan was about to return the information after answering a phone call, but fortunately, Wang Jian also probably wrote down the slightly important things in it, as long as he went back at night to integrate it, and looked for things after the Tang Dynasty through other channels, it was basically considered a preliminary completion of the task.
"That's all I can find for you." Lin Yaxuan hugged a bunch of things on the table: "I'll go return the things, it's upstairs, you wait for me here." β
Not long after she left, when Wang Jian was still sorting out her thoughts, a person quickly dodged into the library, and then walked straight towards Wang Jian.
"Are you Wang Jian?"
Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, looked up at the comer, and looked puzzled.
The man put down a letter without saying anything: "Please be sure to see it yourself." β
