Lao Detou nodded and said: "This piece of jade is the heirloom of my Yu family, and it has a history of about three thousand years!"

"Three thousand years?" Hanzhang's attention was not attracted by the 'heirloom', but was shocked by the 'three thousand years'.

It has only been a thousand years since the origin of the spiritual civilization, compared to three thousand years!

"According to the records inherited by the family, it has existed in the world for a longer period of time, and there is no shorter than this, do you know why it has become the 'heirloom' of the Yu family?"

Hanzhang shook her head honestly this time, she really didn't understand why the Yu family would choose such a worthless stone as an heirloom.

Where's the 'treasure'?

I saw Lao Detou's fingers slowly caressing the surface of the jade, his attitude, his expression, far from being able to be expressed by the word 'beloved', it can be seen that this stone is indeed an incomparable treasure in his mind.

In Hanzhang's doubts, the old man had slowly explained:

"According to records, jade has been used by human beings in life for no less than 10,000 years of history, in such a long application, the ancients gave it many meanings, symbolizing beauty, symbolizing nobility, symbolizing royal power, symbolizing wealth, symbolizing virtue......

"Among so many meanings, 'symbolic virtue' was the most valued by the ancients.

"Because jade is fine and hard, it is very difficult to make jade in the early days, and it usually takes four difficult processes of cutting, learning, pondering and grinding to make a rough piece of jade into a beautiful jade.

"Cutting, that is, cutting the hard jade into pre-planned pieces of the size of the object to be carved.

"Learning, that is, grinding the edges and corners of the cut jade to make it conducive to carving.

"Carving, that is, carving out the shape of the carved object.

"Grinding, that is, grinding the surface of the formed utensils to be delicate, so that it emits a warm luster,

"The tools used in this process are nothing more than sand, stone, water, thread, wood, etc. And in the process of carving, we must be careful not to hurt the natural texture of the jade.

"It takes a lot of effort and time for the jade craftsman to overcome many difficulties in each process.

"The output of each piece of jade is also very difficult.

The ancients also believed that it is not easy for a person to become a tool and to be virtuous. They use the process of jade making tools as a metaphor for the process of people's moral growth, saying that a character like fine gold and jade should be 'such as cutting, such as learning, such as grinding'!

"Therefore, the meaning of this jade handed down by the ancestors of the Yu family is to tell the descendants to carve their own virtues like the shaping process of jade, such as cutting, such as grinding!

"Let your life go through once, and finally glow with the brilliance of humanity like beautiful jade!"

Hanzhang Mouran was fascinated, and her eyes couldn't stop reddening, if she could understand such a truth in the past......

But now, it's all meaningless!

Hanzhang gathered his mind and said with a smile:

"It turns out that it's not a treasure, but the meaning it represents is a treasure?"

The old man smiled and said, "Everything in the world is a treasure or a grass, isn't it all the meaning given by people?"

"Uh......" Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, knowing because of the old man's transparent words, she couldn't help but pull the topic back to her own attention point, and asked:

"The ancestors of the Yu family used to remember such a long history, so when did the spiritual art begin? Did it start one hundred and fifty years ago as the book says?"

"Hehe, who told you that spiritual magic only started one hundred and fifty years ago? Isn't it said in your book that the 'Qidi Spiritual Magic Path' was opened one hundred and fifty years ago?"

"What about the rest of the world?" Hanzhang chased after him.

"It's much earlier in other places! Outside of Qidi, there is a vast world, this continent is called 'One Yuan' divided into Kyushu, and the world is even more boundless, called 'Five Suits and Four Seas'......"

Yes, the name of this continent is 'One Yuan', and it is divided into Kyushu according to the position of the southeast, northwest, and other eight directions corresponding to Middle-earth, which are:

Shentu Yangzhou Prefecture in the east, Bozhou in the northeast, Chengtu Luzhou in the north, Tutai Prefecture in the northwest, Tuyi Prefecture in the west, Taoturong Prefecture in the southwest, Fertile Tu Cizhou in the south, Nongtu Shenzhou in the southeast, and Jizhou in the Central Plains.

According to the distance with the central imperial capital, it is divided into five suits, from near to far: Burmese clothing, Hou clothing, Sui clothing, important clothing, and desert clothing.

Beyond the desert is the boundless sea, which is divided into four seas: east, south, west and north according to the orientation of the one-yuan continent where the sea is located.

It is based on the fact that people often use "Kyushu", or "five suits and four seas" to refer to the world!

This is the general pattern of the world, outside of the land, the older children know it, but not in this land of Qidi, which is isolated by the psionic enchantment.

Yes, Hanzhang interrupted without waiting for the old man to finish:

"Are these all the records left by the ancestors of the Yu family?"

Lao Detou looked at the somewhat anxious Hanzhang in front of him, and the smile on his face suddenly became a little thicker, and he said:

"Yes, there are records from the ancestors more than a thousand years ago, and there should be more records outside of Qidi. Okay! You're still young, just learn about the outside world later. When you are successful, Daddy will pass on this heirloom to you!"

Pass it to her?

Will she survive that time?

The thought flashed through her, and she suppressed her desire to explore further, and pulled away from the topic and asked, "Why do I have to go to school?"

"Isn't it good to go to school, you can get in touch with a lot of children of the same age, you can see a lot of new things, and you can learn more about the world!"

Silently!

After a while, he listened to the old man and said: "If you are really bored in the Spirit Academy, take the book to read, and I will give you another one tomorrow morning!"

"Hmm!" It seems that he also knows what he will be like in the Spirit Academy.

"Then you go to bed early, I've boiled all the hot water, and in the kitchen, you can use it yourself. ”

After speaking, Lao Detou got up, held the crystal jade and walked out of the door.

Han Zhang knew that he was going to the hall for the night again, and seeing that the figure of Lao Detou was getting closer and closer to the threshold, she still didn't hide her inner desires, and asked:

"Why is there an enchantment in Qidi?"

The figure of the old man was immediately stunned, and an indescribable aura emanated from him, and only after a few breaths did his suppressed voice sound:

"It's to protect the inheritance of humanity!"

As soon as the words fell, he stepped out of the threshold and disappeared!

Protecting the cultural heritage?

I don't believe it at all!

Humanities and humanities, there are people who can write, and many people can write, so that the "literature" can be heard and spread in the world in order to be effectively inherited. A small place with a total of more than 1,000 square kilometers and a population of only a few hundred thousand, compared to the entire One Yuan Continent, it is just a grain of sand.

No matter how you look at it, this has nothing to do with "protection"!

But the old man's attitude made her understand that he knew the real reason. Since he didn't want to tell her, she didn't need to look any further.

For her, who has little to do for the rest of her life, it is better to have less to do with some heavy things.
