In the twelfth year of Emperor Shaojing, the seventh day of the lunar month.

Dijing, southern suburbs.

Xiaoyin curled up and leaned against the wall of the car, looking dazed, not knowing what to think. Yuan Liang sat cross-legged across from her, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't say a word. The carriage had been gone for a long time, and during this time, the two remained motionless, like two clay statues.

“…… It was quiet. ”

When the carriage stopped, Xiaoyin spoke silently, she had always spoken in a low voice, but in this quiet environment where even the two horses pulling the carriage did not dare to neigh or stomp their hooves, this sentence was also significantly more harsh.

But there are a lot of people here.

The place where the carriage stopped was a large square courtyard, and whether you looked at the front or the sides, you could only see rows of houses, houses of the same style and color.

Countless men dressed in cyan or white clothes were nervously shuttling, some holding bundles of bamboo slips in their hands, some were stacked with high desks, and some were empty-handed, they shuttled between different rooms, the common point was that their steps were extremely fast, but their faces were very peaceful.

The carriage parked in the middle of the courtyard, the little voice standing alone on the side of the carriage, was extremely discordant with everything in this courtyard, and the people who came and went would look at it with strange or thoughtful expressions, but no one came to ask, no one consulted with each other, they didn't even change the speed at which they walked, they just glanced at it like that, and then hurried by.

"Ahem, ahem."

Coughing, Yuan Liang slowly stepped out of the carriage and looked around, with a look of emotion.

"I haven't been back for years......"

"Girl, this is the place where the ancestor under the pillar once guarded, and this is the place where the Taoyuan inheritance is truly preserved."

“…… Only the ancestors of Xia have classics and books. ”

The one who said these eight words was Xiaoyin, and in a surprised voice, this is really a rare thing for her.

"It turned out to be here, a place you haven't said, teacher, and I've guessed it many times......"

Unconsciously turned around, it was the direction they had come, and there were no houses in that direction, only straight roads, and lintels that were not at all tall or solemn.

Looking from behind, Xiaoyin couldn't see the plaque on the door at all, but she knew very well that it was a plaque four feet long, one and a half feet high, carved from pure black agarwood.

She knew those two words, and she knew them well.

“…… View of the East. ”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Xia people's attention to the "history" of this thing, has always been very famous, thousands of years of history, but also accumulated to tens of millions of words of historical materials and history books, Xia people's persistence in recording history, in the eyes of outsiders, even almost pathological, they not only record everything about themselves, but also record what they see, hear, know everything around them. This is not only a folk hobby, but also an official tradition, as early as the atmosphere of the barbarian era has not faded, as early as when the ancestors who were still using stone axes just gathered to become a tribe, the profession of "historian" was born together with "priest".

…… The place where the historians worked was called "Dongguan".

Dongguan was born to record history, and now, it itself is already a part of history, although it has been renovated countless times, and the plaque does not know how many copies it is, but the scribes who work in Dongguan will still habitually say: "Our land began with Xuanyuan, up and down for more than 5,000 years ......", and those who heard it would also nod their heads calmly in acceptance, and no one would refute or correct it.

Historically, Dongguan has had all kinds of glory, but the people who work here don't care, because they are recorders, they are with history, and they are accustomed to seeing and counting the ups and downs of "a hundred years" or "thousand years".

"This room is closed with yellow silk, is it the same ...... when Emperor Yu gave the history of the country to the country?"

"That's right."

The old man who walked in front of Yuan Liang and Xiaoyin, his body was as thin as rotten wood, but his waist was straight like a strong bamboo, and when he heard Xiaoyin's question, there was more pride in his voice.

…… It was during the reign of the Chijia family in the South China Sea, and the reigning emperor was Yu Yu, at that time, there were envoys from farther away than the Western Regions to present the letter of state, as well as all kinds of treasures that are rare and rare in Daxia, and when the Ministry of Rites discussed how to return the ceremony, Emperor Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Let Dongguan go and do it." ”

Three days later, Dongguan presented a history book, a history book of the envoy's own country, a history book that was more detailed and complete than any other history book in that country.

……

"Are the three gentlemen enshrined here?"

"Yes."

This time, I passed through the same enclosed room, and I could only vaguely see that there seemed to be three sitting statues with hands on their knees, and on the side was another standing statue, which seemed to be in a hurry. When she heard the old man's answer, Xiao Yin put a smile on her face, solemnly and respectfully, and bowed solemnly to this room.

"Act with integrity, write history with blood, the demeanor of the former sages, and be honest and fearful."

……

In this way, after passing through many rooms, she finally came to the front of a very small, cramped, and dilapidated room, and at this time, Xiaoyin was already sweating slightly--for her, who was not familiar with martial arts, this journey was not easy.

But she didn't have time to think about her fatigue.

She looked at the inconspicuous room, but her eyes were as bright as the nine heavens of starlight!

（…… The storage room, this is the room used by the history of the pillar, and this is the place where the first historian of the Taisho Dynasty stayed! ）

"As you think."

The old man stood at Xiaoyin's side, and his eyes were also fixed on the room, not at all looking at her.

"This is where the first master of Zhuxia worked back then, and at the same time, this is also the starting point of Taoyuan."

When the old man said this, Xiaoyin packed up his clothes, respectfully bowed.

But he was gently held by the old man, although he was so old that it seemed that he would fall down in a gust of wind, but it was only so gently and skillfully that Xiaoyin couldn't kneel down no matter what.

"Senior brother, ...... this?"

Even Yuan Liang couldn't help but be surprised: today, he and the old man had already agreed to lead Xiaoyin here to officially accept the inheritance of Taoyuan, and from then on he would succeed himself and become the only successor of Taoyuan in the world...... Everything has been negotiated for a long time, why is there such a change now?

"The inheritance of Taoyuan is a big deal."

Looking at the old man with a blank expression, but his eyes were as clear as fishless water, Yuan Liang didn't say any more, just bowed silently.

"I'll listen to my brother's arrangement."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

In the twelfth year of Emperor Shaojing, the seventh day of the lunar month

Weiyang Palace.

It was another year of winter, and Emperor Shaojing was still half leaning on the recliner he was most familiar with, but there were all civil officials sitting in front of him, and none of them were among the heads of the great families.

"You can even let go of such a thing...... Such a house will be raided, and such a person will be killed. ”

The voice is not loud, but it seems to penetrate the heart, although all the officials have the favor of "giving sitting", so far none of them dare to sit down, one by one kneeling without a crown, and said in unison: "I'm confused!" "But my heart is full of wonders: What is the matter with this master today?

The matter discussed at this moment has been boiling and spreading in the imperial capital for a few days, but it was the former court scholar Xie who somehow destroyed the tomb, and even painted on the spirit tablet, "Godson has no way!" "The four big characters, when they were found out, were because of the dispute between their sons and grandsons over the division of family property, and the grandson was not angry, and he actually damaged the tomb of the ancestor.

"This dynasty has always ruled the world with the words 'loyalty and filial piety', it seems that people are like this, and beasts are also, what else do you say'Eight Discussions', reading is confused, and the Eight Discussions are people, not beasts."

It was still a light tone, but it was more amazing than the fury of thunder, and the ministers peeked at each other, and the longest-ranking scholar of Elune Ai was helpless, swallowed his saliva, and said, "The ministers have the order." ”

But he was unwilling, and defended: "The ministers really don't have sympathy for this generation of beasts, but now the military affairs are urgent, so they are ......" But seeing Emperor Shaojing, he raised his hand and said lightly: "This is not a military matter, and my family affairs are not negotiable." ”

When he said this, it was really a thunderstorm, and all the ministers were shocked, stunned, and it was still Scholar Ai who reacted first, and said urgently: "Your Majesty's words must not be, the matter of the year has already been decided, so what kind of blood and blood is outside...... but seeing Emperor Shaojing smiled: "My brother, my nephew, my family affairs...... Do you know better than I do? ”

He didn't seem to be in a bad mood, and there was still some joke in his speech, but when it came to this, who among the ministers would dare to talk again? One by one, they sued the monarch for losing their manners, and retreated in a gloomy manner, as for the belly scolding, "Your mother's own country is going to be defeated, grandpa, I have a hairy heart" That is also the proper meaning of the question, and I don't mention it.

Seeing the ministers retreating, Emperor Shaojing sighed and said, "It's a group of loyal ministers, but it's a pity that it's ......."

"It's a pity" what, was not said. Emperor Shaojing stopped talking, and the ghostly figure of the world's big black ghost had flashed out from behind the pillar, and said: "The immortal is doing this way, so big-minded, so big-handed!" ”

Emperor Shao nodded and said with a smile: "Excellent timing, excellent means, compared to the nonsense in the northwest and northeast, it can be called heaven and earth, once you open your mind, you can do this, it is really worthy of my heavenly family's bloodline...... Shepherd Wind ...... Alas. As he spoke, he gradually smiled, but he was still obviously high-spirited, not very depressed, and he couldn't see any "angry" or "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots".

The big black in the world said in a low voice: "The military report submitted by the third young man said that he wanted to fight the undead quickly, but he was afraid of ......"

Emperor Shaojing smiled and said, "It's okay." As he spoke, he took a fruit beside himself and put it in his mouth.

"Children have ambition and ability, but after all, they still lack knowledge and experience...... You still have to endure hardships. ”

said and muttered: "Although he doesn't understand, Yuqing should understand that it is powerful, and he didn't remind him...... Is it that he is now able to become a family in Taiping Dao, or is there something else in the belly of this old guy Yuqing? ”
