"Middle Earth, could it be that what Historian Sima recorded back then was correct and not groundless?" Xiao Ruoshui thought of many things after hearing Ying Ji's answer.

"Historical Records: The Biography of Mencius Xunqing": Those who think that Confucianism and so-called China are eighty-one in the world. The Chinese name is Chixian Shenzhou. Chixian Shenzhou has its own Kyushu, and the order of Yu is Kyushu, and it must not be the number of states. Outside China, such as Chixian Shenzhou, the nine, is the so-called Kyushu.

In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor was the king of Tude, and the area under the jurisdiction of the Yellow Emperor was called Shenzhou, and the area under the jurisdiction of Emperor Yan was called Chixian. After the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor, the unified land was called Shenzhou Chixian or Chixian Shenzhou. Chixian and Shenzhou are one of the nine major states in the world, and they are divided into small Kyushu, called Kyushu China. Later, it was used to refer to China or the Central Plains.

"Sima Qian, that kid, hehe, Sima Ziru, that's the little guy you want to escape, right?" Ying Ji heard Xiao Ruoshui mention Sima Shiguan, a smile appeared on her face, and she said to Sima Ziru who was tapping the other hand with the folding fan in her hand: "That's an interesting little guy, it's just a pity." ”

"Senior Sima Qian is indeed an interesting person, and it's a pity. Money, power, lust, greed, the desire for life, the fear of death, the depth of love, the sorrow of pain, etc., are all listed in the practice of the Tao of human desire. But Sima Qian's predecessors only pursued the truth of human nature, and when he reached the truth of human nature, he was not satisfied with this, he also wanted to pursue the truth of the world and the truth of the universe. ”

Sima Ziru followed the words of Ying Ji and Xiao Ruoshui, and when he talked about Sima Qian, the smile on his face disappeared, and at this moment, a faint sadness appeared on his pure face, as if he thought of something very sad, which made people look at it and couldn't help but be sad.

After Sima Ziru paused, he continued: "At the beginning, Sima Senior's desire for truth has exceeded the limit of human nature, which can be said to be my human desire Dao throughout the ages, which can be done by very few people throughout the ages, but later his behavior accidentally touched some of the contents of the ancient covenant, causing the guardian of the covenant to appear, wanting to take Sima seniors away and scatter ashes to show the majesty of the covenant and not to be touched. ”

"The Covenant Guardian Clan can't appear in the mortal world, so you want to help Sima Qian's kid escape?" Ying Ji saw Sima Ziru's sad expression, thought of some possibilities, and asked curiously.

"It can be said that in order to keep Sima's predecessors, the previous generation of masters abolished his cultivation, erased the relevant memories of the covenant and the ancient races, and then sent him to the mortal world, only to escape. ”

Speaking of this, Sima Ziru let out a long sigh, and then continued: "Who would have thought that Sima Senior's desire to pursue truth has already penetrated into his soul. Later, even if he suffered all the hardships of the world, he could not change his pursuit of historical truth, and only then did he write the volume of "Historical Records" that the people of Middle-earth saw. ”

At this moment, Xiao Ruoshui repeatedly heard some things that subverted her cognition, so that he could no longer remain calm and silent, looked at Jiang Liu'er with a calm face, and then looked at Guigu with a calm face, and then caught a glimpse of Xia Xiaohu standing behind Guigu smiling at her and nodded slightly.

Seeing the smile on Xia Xiaohu's face, Xiao Ruoshui seemed to understand what he meant, and told her to ask if there was anything she wanted to ask, without any scruples, so she spoke.

"Seniors, with all due respect, you keep mentioning the ancient covenants, human desires, and ancient empires, and other glorious supreme beings, but why don't we know about their existence at all?

Also, why are those who have made great achievements in history related to you, such as Daji, Zhao Gao, and the recent Sima Shiguan.

Even Zhuge Wolong's master, Mr. Shuijing, has a lot to do with Mr. Shuijing, I want to know, what kind of existence are you, and how do you survive so that the world will not find out?"

Ying Ji and the others patiently listened to Xiao Ruoshui's question, and did not interrupt her, when Xiao Ruoshui finished speaking, a smile appeared on Ying Ji's face, and said: "The little girl finally can't help it, her concentration is good, it seems that the group of wastes in Zhongnan Mountain has also taught a character."

Little girl, I told you before, this land is not as simple as you think, what you can see is just a drop in the ocean.

Anyway, there is still time now, it is rare to see some of the past events of the palace from you, and I will say a few more words to you while the palace is in a good mood now. ”

"The little girl is not quick to thank the princess, do you know what a rare thing it is for the princess to be in a good mood, hahaha. Ying Ji, next to Ying Ji, said with a laugh.

"Lord Ying, your words are a bit too much, and the palace is still not in a good mood for you. Ying Ji heard the words of the island master, her face became cold again, and then continued: "Little girl, if there is anything you want to know, just ask, as long as you don't touch the ancient covenant, this palace will choose what you can say to tell you, and it can be regarded as a love affair in the Ghost Valley." ”

Xiao Ruoshui looked around generously at this time, except for Xia Xiaohu, the others nodded to her kindly, indicating that it was okay, and signaled her to ask if she wanted to know.

So Xiao Ruoshui stood up, made a big salute to Ying Ji again, and said: "Ruoshui thanks the princess for her teaching, in order not to delay everyone's time, Ruoshui said bluntly." What do you mean by the land of Kyushu now?"

Ying Ji: "You're right, Sima Qian's writing is also right." It's Chixian Shenzhou, but we are used to calling it Middle-earth, because in its more distant history, it was called Zhongzhou!"

Xiao Ruoshui: "Zhongzhou?!Is it a more distant history?How far away is that?"

Ying Ji: "It's a submerged history, maybe thousands of years ago, tens of thousands of years, or hundreds of thousands of years. ”

Xiao Ruoshui: "Since it's a submerged history, how do you know about it?"

Ying Ji: "If you have time, you can ask Guigu in the future, he knows this better." ”

Xiao Ruoshui: "I just heard that the predecessor of the island owner said that the princess is the princess of the Ying clan, and the Ying clan may be the heir of the ancestral dragon, but the people of my Kyushu are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and they are also the descendants of the dragon, is there any difference between this?"

Ying Ji was silent for a while and said, "I don't know the origin of the Ying clan. But the ancestral dragon is not the same thing as the dragon you know, and the legends of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang are too old to verify. ”

Xiao Ruoshui: "Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang are too far away from us?

Ying Ji: "Three Emperors and Five Emperors, that's a legend that's too old, I can't answer you, and I can't answer you, because that history is protected by the ancient covenant." It was because Sima Qian tried to touch that history that he was forced to flee from human desire, and I don't know that history. ”

Xiao Ruoshui exclaimed in shock: "Huh?!"

This is the first time in the past ten years that Xiao Ruoshui has been so out of shape, screaming out regardless of the occasion because she is panicked, because what she heard is really difficult for her to accept.

But Xiao Ruoshui quickly regained her composure, she knew that there were not many such opportunities, and she couldn't waste them on boring surprises and exclamations, so she continued to ask: "Is it the Ancient Covenant again? If Shui knows that this section of the Ancient Covenant can't be touched, then if Ruoshui can know about the Great Kyushu?"

Ying Ji: "For the sake of the little girl, you still don't want to know now." What I can tell you is that Great Kyushu is not the whole of this world either. ”

Xiao Ruoshui: "The ancient empire, the princess mentioned the ancient empire of Chen Bing and the Qinling Ying clan a hundred miles away, what happened?"

Ying Ji: "That is one of the empires dedicated to guarding the Ancient Covenant, so powerful that you can't imagine that your Great Liang Empire is just like an ant in its eyes, and it can be erased at any time." Even my Win clan, even if it unites the human desire dao and the Guigu lineage, it may not be able to compete with it. ”

Xiao Ruoshui: "Such a powerful empire, where is it? It shouldn't be on the land of Middle-earth, is it on other big states in the Great Kyushu?"

Yingji: "So to speak. But they are omnipresent, like heavenly soldiers, and they will appear whenever an ancient race violates an ancient covenant. ”

Xiao Ruoshui: "Princess, you mentioned 'such as heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals', is there really a heavenly soldier and heavenly general?

Yingji: "I don't know, at least we haven't been in contact with them. Jiang Ziya's canonization of gods is just a means for King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty to consolidate his dominance and convince the world. ”

When Xiao Ruoshui and Ying Ji said that Jiang Ziya was a god, Jiang Liu'er, who was not far away, smiled slightly and said: "The Lingxiao Treasure Hall in the mythology of Middle-earth is really exciting, just like the Western Heaven Elysium in my Buddhism, it is a longed-for existence, and even Na Rulai has wanted to emulate Heaven many times and establish his own Buddha country." ”

Yingji: "Oh, and that's it, but it's a pity that those are just legends. ”

Jiang Liu'er was slightly stunned, and said very meaningfully: "Legends, nine times out of ten, are true......

At this point, everyone in the water pavilion fell silent.

Soon, Xiao Ruo said quietly: "The Holy Monk Jiang Liu'er has a point. Before today, your predecessors were a kind of legend in Ruoshui's eyes, even if even Mr. Lian's Guigu lineage and the Guyin lineage of the Lord of Ink Zhai, Ruoshui had doubted their authenticity, but they were all real. ”

Ying Ji heard Xiao Ruoshui's words, thoughtfully, and then a rare smile appeared on Orange Peel's face, and said to Jiang Liu'er and Xiao Ruoshui: "I like you two more and more, no wonder Guigu left you here, but I'm still more curious about the little scholar behind Guigu, and what is surprising about it." ”

Guigu heard Ying Ji mention Xia Xiaohu again, a playful smile appeared on her delicate face, and she said lightly: "Xiaohu, why don't you wait a while, you can have a good chat with the princess?"
