Chapter 347: Book Burning and Confucianism
Li Jingyue can be said to be crying with joy after receiving Chen Kai's call, because she also recognized Chen Kai in the photos and videos on the Internet last night, and she couldn't contact Chen Kai all the time, so she was even more worried after asking Zhao Kun to understand the situation.
Now Chen Kai's phone call finally made her feel at ease.
"Chen Kai, where are you now? Is it really a big deal? ”
Hearing the concern and worry in Li Jingyue's words, Chen Kai comforted: "Don't worry, Jingyue, I'm really fine now, on a friend's side." I'll buy another phone tomorrow and I'll call you then. ”
"Well, okay. Then you have to be more careful. Li Jingyue answered and did not continue to ask.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Kai put Luo Shuang's mobile phone back on the table and exhaled lightly. Last night's incident still made him feel a little uneasy, but he didn't expect that Taiyuan Sect would actually dispatch three characters from the Yuan Dynasty to attack him.
Chen Kai only now felt that he had underestimated the strength of Taiyuan Sect before. Originally, he thought that even if Taiyuan Sect had characters from the Huayuan Period, there would definitely not be many. However, from the fact that the other party was able to directly dispatch three Huayuan Period to find him this time, it can be seen that the other party should have at least five or six Huayuan Period figures.
"Fortunately, the other party's magic weapon is not very good, otherwise it would have been really dangerous last night." Chen Kai said to himself in his heart.
At this time, Chen Kai thought of the Xingtian Sect and Wang Xuemin again. At the beginning, Taiyuan Zong had negotiated with Wang Xuemin, but Chen Kai directly asked Wang Xuemin to refuse the other party's negotiations.
After a period of time, the Taiyuan Sect did not move, and Chen Kai thought that the other party was afraid of the Xingtian Sect, so he had to stop. It's just that this time the other party suddenly made another move, which made Chen Kai have some doubts in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Kai picked up Luo Shuang's mobile phone again, ready to contact Wang Xuemin. Although I don't know if the Taiyuan Sect will do anything to the Xingtian Sect, at least tell Wang Xuemin about this matter and let him know. It's okay to be a little wary.
After contacting Wang Xuemin, Chen Kai told Wang Xuemin about last night's incident. When Wang Xuemin learned about it, he was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked about Chen Kai's safety.
After Chen Kai explained that he was fine, he was relieved. and said that he would be cautious of the Taiyuan Sect. At the same time, it also made Chen Kai more careful, or went directly to the Xingtian Sect, so that their senior brothers were together, even if Taiyuan Sect had to do it again, it would not be so easy.
Chen Kai just replied that Wang Xuemin would think about it himself, and then ended the call.
Putting down Luo Shuang's mobile phone, Chen Kai went to the kitchen to ask Luo Shuang for a new toothbrush and towel to wash up. Although the injuries in the body did not recover. But it's not so strict, and a night's rest is quite a bit.
It didn't take long for Luo Shuang to boil the porridge and fry two dishes and bring them out on the table in the living room. At the same time, there is also a bowl of boiled black Chinese medicine.
"You drink some porridge first, and then drink this bowl of medicine, which can make your internal injuries recover faster." Luo Shuang put the Chinese medicine she had just poured out on the table and said to Chen Kai.
"yes, okay." Chen Kai answered and sat down at the table. "You can sit down and eat together."
"Hmm." Luo Shuang replied softly. Sit down opposite Chen Kai.
Two had breakfast. After Luo Shuang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Kai asked, "Can you take out the bamboo slips you just said and show them to me?" ”
Luo Shuang was actually about to talk about it, and when she heard this, she immediately said, "Hmm." You wait a minute, I'll take it out. ”
After speaking, Luo Shuang went into the room, and after a while, he came out with a small suitcase. Put it in front of Chen Kai and open the suitcase, and then said: "I only brought a few rolls out, you can take a look." ”
The suitcase opened by Luo Shuang was indeed filled with a few rolls of quaint bamboo slips. As Luo Shuang said, those bamboo slips were basically burned more or less a small part, and those bamboo slips really don't look like they were imitated in modern times.
At this time, Luo Shuang directly picked out a roll from those bamboo slips, handed it to Chen Kai, and said: "You can take a look at the contents of this scroll first, I think that maybe the things recorded on it may be related to the golden figure and jade pendant cast by Qin Shi Huang that you just said......
"Oh?" Chen Kai was stunned, and hurriedly took the bamboo slip handed over by Luo Shuang and opened it.
After taking a look, Chen Kai only roughly understood some of the above words, but he didn't know most of them. The writing on the bamboo slips should be in the script of a certain country during the Warring States Period, and it is not very similar to that of the Qin State. And Chen Kai himself only has a rough understanding of the characters of that era, and only vaguely remembers a small part of the words because of his outstanding memory.
Therefore, he couldn't understand what was written when he looked at the words on the bamboo slips.
"Do you know the text on it?" Chen Kai looked at it for a while, then directly raised his head and asked Luo Shuang.
"Partial." Luo Shuang responded, and then said: "This is the text of Zhao during the Warring States Period. The content recorded above is about to say that in the twenty-sixth year, King Qin collected the world's soldiers and gathered in Xianyang. There is a small section of content that should have been burned, and then it is said that in the thirty-first year, the king of Qin drove the Jin people to Kunlun and used the Jin people to suppress the immortal path. ”
"Most of the latter parts were burned, with only a few words scattered, and it was not clear what was written. Finally, there is a sentence that probably means that there are no immortals in the world from now on. ”
After a pause, Luo Shuang continued: "This bamboo slip is already relatively well preserved, and at least a few complete sentences can be seen. The place I found at that time was a cave, and many of the bamboo slips in it had been burned to the point that only one or two pieces of bamboo remained, and even the only one or two pieces of bamboo that remained were incomplete. ”
"Hmm." Chen Kai nodded slightly, frowning lightly, pondering the implicit meaning of the two sentences that Luo Shuang said just now. It is related to the 'Jin people', as for the twenty-six years, the thirty-one years should refer to the era name of Qin Wangzheng at that time.
However, it seems to be said that Qin Shi Huang got the Jin people to 'Kunlun', and also used the Jin people to 'suppress the immortal path' and finally what is the world without immortals, which is quite intriguing.
Chen Kai had a golden figure in his own hands, and he naturally knew that this golden figure was not an ordinary bronze statue, but a puppet.
After thinking for a while, Chen Kai suddenly asked, "How could these bamboo slips be burned like this?" How did you find these bamboo slips? ”
Luo Shuang replied, "The cave where the bamboo slips are stored is what I spent a lot of time finding from the ancient records handed down from my ancestors. My ancestor seems to be the imperial craftsman under Qin Shi Huang, and the cave was dug out by my ancestor and some other people, and the bamboo slips inside are also hidden by my ancestors. ”
"According to the description of some of the words I carved in that cave, the bamboo slips inside were all secretly found by my ancestors and some other people by Qin Shi Huang's 'book burning pit Confucianism', so the bamboo slips were burned badly."
"Book-burning pit Confucianism?" Chen Kai was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Luo Shuang nodded in response, "Yes." When I found the cave at that time, I had seen most of the bamboo slips preserved in it. The most recorded content on those bamboo slips seems to be about some gods and monsters and the word 'immortal', especially the word 'Kunlun' appears a lot. ”
"Originally, I thought that the gods and monsters and immortals recorded in those bamboo slips were just myths and legends, but before you said that the exercises you practiced could become immortals, I felt that some of the things recorded in those bamboo slips may be true, but not necessarily."
Listening to Luo Shuang's words, Chen Kai suddenly came to his senses and immediately said: "Do you think it is possible that Qin Shi Huang's purpose in burning books and pit Confucianism was to burn these records?" ”
"Didn't the bamboo slip you said just now record that Qin Shi Huang used gold people to 'suppress the path of immortals', and then said 'there are no immortals in the world from now on' or something like that? Moreover, the bamboo slip also mentions that the location of Qin Shi Huang's 'Suppression of Immortal Path' seems to be 'Kunlun'. ”
"Could it be that the immortal Dao inheritance on the earth was exterminated by Qin Shi Huang in the first place?"
Luo Shuang was slightly stunned, looked up at Chen Kai, and said in surprise: "The immortal Dao inheritance on the earth? ”
Luo Shuang's first reaction was not to echo Chen Kai's words, or ask him anything, but to hear the 'ambiguity' in Chen Kai's words.
Hearing Luo Shuang's words, Chen Kai also suddenly realized that he had subconsciously said something when he spoke just now, so he had no choice but to say to Luo Shuang with a wry smile: "Let me tell you the truth, my master is actually not from the earth, and the immortal Dao exercises I practice are not the exercises inherited on the earth. ”
"My master is a person from another cultivation planet, but when he became an immortal, he failed to cross the Heavenly Tribulation and was caught in a spatial rift, and then came to the ...... Earth."
Chen Kai's explanation made Luo Shuang stunned. She really felt that Chen Kai's sentence 'Immortal Dao Inheritance on Earth' was a bit weird just now, and she wouldn't have said it under normal circumstances, and deliberately emphasized a 'on the earth', so she was a little confused.
But he didn't expect Chen Kai to tell such a truth.
"This ...... Really, really? Luo Shuangwu looked at Chen Kai in disbelief and said.
"Hmm." Chen Kai nodded with a wry smile and said, "I don't need to make up such a lie to deceive you. ”
"Uh...... I didn't mean that. It's just, it's just that it's so surprising. Luo Shuang hurriedly explained, and took a deep breath, calming the surprise in her heart.
Chen Kai smiled and said, "It's really incredible. However, it is true. This is my father's confession. ”
"Hmm!" Luo Shuang nodded in response.
"My master said that he had never found any other 'cultivators' on the earth at the beginning, but he had found some traces of cultivators who had existed. Therefore, it is certain that on the earth a long time ago, there were also cultivators who existed. As for why there is no such thing as a cultivator now, judging from what you just said, it may or may not really be related to Qin Shi Huang. ”
