Chapter 133: The Legend of the Holy Maiden
She then looked behind her, but the more she looked at it, the more incredible it became. The record form of this book is exactly the same as that of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is a small story, seen and heard in different places, and there are a large number of records that are very similar to those in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", such as the nine-tailed fox mentioned earlier, but the memory here is more detailed, and it is clearly written that the nine-tailed fox is a fox with nine tails.
In addition, there are many strange beasts here that Xia Chongming has never seen in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, all of which are recorded in detail. It's just that the missing pages of this book are too serious, Xia Chongming feels intermittent when he reads every page, and often there is no one after reading half of a story.
Most of the stories recorded in this book are highly similar to popular legends, but there are some differences, although Xia Chongming looked a little headache because of the ancient text, but then after really reading it, he found it very interesting.
She even had a lot of pictures in her mind, such as the Xuanhu clan recorded in it, the book wrote: There was a giant beast in ancient times, its name was Xuanhu, the whole body was snow-white, with black markings, and its sound shook the world, and a palm could overlay a whole mountain.
So she imagined in her mind an image of a mighty white tiger, which bared a mouthful of fangs and looked at her fiercely. It turns out that there was such a powerful beast at that time, isn't this the ancestor of today's tigers?
She continued to flip back, and there were also biographies of various interesting countries, large and small, including Qingqiu Country, Ageless Country, Women's Country, and so on...... These biographies record some anecdotes about these countries, which makes Xia Chongming look at it more and more.
She couldn't help but wonder who wrote the book in the first place. Although it is an ancient saying, it reads no different from a modern one, and it is fascinating. Until she turned to this page, Xia Chongming's whole person held her breath.
This page is a single page, and there are only three big characters written on it--- The Legend of the Holy Maiden.
It seems that the back of this page seems to tell the story of this character named the Holy Maiden, Xia Chongming looked at the book and paused, this Holy Maiden is not the one she thinks, right?
The legendary Yin God, the disciple of the ancient Nuwa, Chongming Bird, the Holy Maiden of the Netherworld who created the way of reincarnation in Yan Mo's mouth, her past life.
Behind this page may be everything she wants to know, what she has experienced in her previous life, what kind of person she is, and what happened to Chongming Bird and Feng Qingyan after the fall of the Six Yu Gods, maybe all after this page.
With a heavy heart, she turned the title page of the book.
Those vague handwriting came into her eyes, and Xia Chongming pointed to each word between his fingers and read it carefully.
The book begins with an introduction to who the saint is. The holy maiden is carved from the jade found by Nuwa from the Tianchi in ancient times, and was turned into a human by Nuwa, who is Nuwa's little apprentice, and the world weighs the bright bird.
She is in charge of the netherworld, collecting the souls of all things in the world, and controlling the balance of the yin and yang worlds with the yang god.
Later, Nuwa petrified, the yang god fell, Chongming and Nuwa's eldest disciple Huofeng fought for one of the nine heavens, this battle was three days and three nights, two people fought from the sky to the ground, and from the netherworld to the yang world, and finally Chongming narrowly defeated the fire phoenix, but he didn't expect this fire phoenix to be reborn from the fire, so the saint Chongming sealed the fire phoenix forever in the netherworld, and created the way of reincarnation.
Later, the saint wandered away from the yang realm......
This story is too official, Xia Chongming originally thought that he would see any wonderful details here, but he didn't see any of them, and she knew most of the things described in it, why Chongming fought with Feng Qingyan, who was a fire phoenix, how he sealed it, and why he created the way of reincarnation, nothing was written here.
These are like an overview of things, like a third-person incomplete perspective, a whole page was written in a few words, Xia Chongming hurriedly turned back, but what made her speechless was that there was no one behind!
The pages were cut straight from here, as if deliberately not letting her know, and disappeared without a trace, and the content of the next page was a fresh anecdote.
Xia Chongming quickly flipped back and forth, she flipped through the pages extremely fast this time, she suspected that the pages were glued together, so she deliberately twisted the pages. What is the "traveling in the yang realm" mentioned at the end of the book? And after that? What happened?
Li Yihang saw that Xia Chongming had been reading with his head bowed there, and he was not idle, he also found an ancient book from the bookshelf next to him and took it out, he was sitting on the side and watching fascinated, but saw Xia Chongming turning the precious book very "roughly", so frightened that he quickly put down the book in his hand and stopped him loudly: "Don't turn it, don't turn it!" You're going to break the books! ”
He stretched out his hand and pressed Xia Chongming's hand, looked at Xia Chongming with a frightened expression, and then said: "I told you that there is only one such book in this book, and it is very old, you should be careful, if I hadn't found it earlier, the pages would have been broken by you!"
"I'm sorry Uncle Seven," Xia Chongming also realized that what she did was not quite right, so he quickly apologized, removed his hand from the book, and said, "I was so fascinated by what I read just now that I didn't pay attention for a while." ”
Li Yihang sighed, let go of the hand holding her and said, "Isn't it almost finished?" ”
"Hmm." Xia Chongming nodded.
The content of this book is really very small, there are still so many pages missing, and the biography of the saint Maiden is now like a pimple in Xia Chongming's heart, she was expecting to find some clues from this book, but now it seems that it should not work. After all, the page was ruined, and she couldn't see it.
"How are you feeling?" Li Yihang asked.
Xia Chongming thought about it and said: "It does seem to be earlier than the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and many of the stories in it coincide with the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and some stories are also not available in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". But Uncle Seven, why are you hiding this book? Don't you make this book public? ”
If Li Yihang makes this book public, it will definitely attract scholars from all over the world to come to study it, and it will be able to refresh mankind's understanding of ancient times, isn't this a good thing?
But Li Yihang shook his head and said: "This is just a transcript, and it can't prove the authenticity of it at all, and you have also read the content in it, most of which are contrary to science." Even if the book in front of us is the original, not many people will believe the truth of it, and most of them will look at it as a strange story. ”
"Well, indeed." Xia Chongming agreed with Li Yihang's statement, imagine that the content in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is doubted by people whether it is true or not, then this kind of ancient books that look more ridiculous will be even more suspicious. After all, there is no research on this kind of ancient historical books, and after so many years, it will inevitably be misunderstood after being discovered by future generations.
If Xia Chongming saw this book a month ago, she would have thought that this book was nonsense, after all, she didn't know anything about the world of immortal cultivators at that time, she was just curious about ghosts.
She would probably read it as if it were written by an ancient, just like she had read "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" before.
"Uncle Seven, put it away, I won't look at it today." After she gently handed the book into Li Yihang's hand, she took off the rubber disposable gloves she was wearing and rubbed her hands.
Li Yihang took the book from Xia Chongming's hand and asked, "Why don't you read it?" Haven't you finished reading it yet? ”
"We'll see that another day." Xia Chongming stood up from her seat and stretched, she had a little backache after sitting for so long.
This ancient text seems to be a brain-draining, although it is very interesting, but she always has to wonder what the book is about. The vanishing pages were now a blow to her, her expectations were dashed, and her burning interest was gone.
To be honest, she has no interest in reading books today, and her eyes are even a little sore, even if she continues to read that book, it will be tomorrow.
Li Yihang looked at Xia Chongming's tired appearance, thinking that it should be early outside, so he didn't leave her behind, and said to her: "Then you go back early, it's already dark outside." ”
"It's dark? Probably not......" As she spoke, she opened the door and looked out of the library, only to see that it was already dark outside, as Li Yihang said.
She remembered that she had only been in this room for a long time! How did it pass so quickly? Reading books is also page by page, this time is also passing quickly, she is still thinking that it may be early, and she is thinking about what to do next.
It's dark outside, what else to see? Walk? Going for a walk alone at such a late age?
"You see, I'll just say it's getting dark outside." Li Yihang also looked outward, his concept of time is quite good, and he will not be like Xia Chongming, who has read a book for an afternoon without realizing that time has passed little by little.
Of course, this is all due to the fact that he has been soaking in the library for many years, reading a lot of books, and naturally learning to control time. After all, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too obsessed with reading, people still have to live in reality, and they can't always live in the world of books.
Xia Chongming held on to the door, turned back to Li Yihang and smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first, it's too late." ”
"Go back and stay safe." Li Yihang waved his hand and said.
Xia Chongming nodded and walked out. She retrieved her seat, picked up the bag she had placed on her seat, and quietly walked out of the main entrance of the library. At this time, there was no one in the library, and it seemed that everyone was going back to bed.
She took out her mobile phone from her schoolbag, and suddenly remembered that Dai Chuchen wanted her to send a text message back to school safely today! But when she came back before, she was followed by Li Xuehuang all the way, and she kept being angry and forgot about it.
She turned on her phone and saw the interface that was bombarded by Dai Chuchen with text messages and calls, but the missed calls on her phone were empty, and the inbox was empty.
Dai Chuchen: What's wrong today? How relieved she was to come back alone? Or was he stumbling over something and couldn't message her about the situation......
