Chapter 72: History and Tracking
Yumen County, in the floating smoke library in Nancheng District.
Zhao Chen sat at a table by a glass window, drinking tea and reading the "Biography of Gaozu Heroes" in his hand.
Since he came to Yumen County, he would come here every morning after his morning exercise to sit until noon, learning about the history of this world with the help of books.
The Fuyan Library is named "Fuyan" because it was donated by Li Fuyan, the deacon of the Li family in Yumen and the first "Qinglian Sword" in Yumen.
And both the scale and the number of books in the collection far exceed the public libraries set up by the imperial court.
I just want to come here to borrow books, and there is a certain "threshold".
And the Zhao family, where Zhao Chen is located, can also be regarded as the in-laws of the Li family, but they successfully applied for the "membership card".
After his previous study of the history books of this realm, Zhao Chen had already discovered that the history of this realm before Li Cunmiao, the emperor of Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, was much the same as the situation in the world where he was originally located, and the major historical events and culture and art were almost the same......
The only difference is that the history of this world is in the style of "romance", and it is quite normal for a general to be a hundred, and even strange things such as "Zuo Ci plays Cao Cao", "Nanhua confers peace", and "Zhuge Seven Stars" are also recorded in the history books.
Later generations also seriously guessed the cultivation of these generals and aliens.
For example, Zhuge Liang was a True Qi Realm cultivator, and he practiced a lot of spell taboos, so he died immediately after being inadvertently broken by Wei Yan.
And fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all masters who have opened at least seven tricks, the inner heaven and earth are just beginning, and their spiritual power is strong, and they can deter others with their momentum.
But in general, until Tang Zhuang Sect Tongguang two years ago, this world did not have much power beyond the convention, and the highest was only the level of true qi and refining skills, and it was extremely rare.
The turning point of everything comes from the "Jiashen Heavenly Change" in the second year of Tongguang!
After that, the demon descended into the world, and the power ceiling of this world was gradually raised to this point......
"Tongxuan", "Dongxuan", and "Ascension Xuan" are not the focus, and some people have even reached the realm of Dao Jun above "Ascension"!
It's a pity that from two years after Tongguang to the fall of the Tang Dynasty and the end of antiquity, during this period, I don't know that in tens of thousands of years, there was no historical record, only the three paragraphs that the master said:
"In the second year of Tongguang, Jiashen changed the sky, and the demons and evil first appeared in the world, and the lives were devastated.
"Taichu Daojun Kunlun preached, the world began to see the law of cultivation, the Zhuang Zong brothers cultivated supernatural powers, suppressed demons and evils, cleared the universe, and then continued the Tang Dynasty.
"In the last years of antiquity, the Tang Dynasty Andong Protectorate disappeared, and demons occupied the vast sea; The ten veins of Kunlun disappeared with the hundred countries of the Western Regions, turned into an endless desert, and the world was in chaos. ”
The rest are legends, but not to be believed......
What is hidden in this history? And the loss of that period of history will have something to do with the "fog of history"?
With questions, Zhao Chen set his eyes on the "Biography of Gaozu Heroes" in his hand again.
"The surname of the ancestor of Daxia is Ming, and the word uncle is ...... His mother, Peng's night dream, fell into the arms, and Gao Zu was born......
At that time, the ancient Tang Dynasty ended, and the princes of the land of China rose up together, attacking each other for hundreds of years, resulting in demons everywhere and the people were struggling to make a living.
"And the great murderers in the sea often infect the inland, but fortunately, they were blocked by the holy places of the Dao Gate such as the 'Dao Immortal Gate' and the 'Lichen Sword Palace', so they could barely resist it......
"Gaozu raised troops in Liyang, and after 1,538 years, he successively destroyed more than ten countries such as Chen Han, Zhu Wu, Zhang Chu, Zhao Song, and Shi Yan, and finally cleared the universe and established Great Xia.
"The reason why the name 'Xia' is is because the first dynasty in China is 'Xia', and Gaozu's ambition is to end with 'Xia' and echo it at the end, which means that the world will not change from now on, and Daxia will not change for thousands ......of years."
Looking at the "book" in his hand, Zhao Chen had the illusion of reading three pirated books for ten yuan in his previous life.
Although I know that the level of this kind of reading material is not too high, it is much worse than expected......
Zhao Chen sighed slightly, but he had to read it again, after all, Great Xia did not have an official history book of this dynasty...... Even if there were, it was not publicly released...... In addition to the historical materials recorded by the various sects and families themselves, only the commentaries and scripts can understand some of the stories that happened in Daxia for more than 8,000 years.
It is said that Gaozu Mingzhen has entered the realm of "ascending to Xuan", and he may not be dead yet, so who dares to write his historical materials when he is alive?
Fortunately, although the story is exaggerated, it can reflect some reality, and reading it can be regarded as gaining knowledge...... Hey, the original owner's mind is on the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but if he concentrates more on business, I can also reduce a lot of effort.
Just as Zhao Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, about to continue reading, the corner of his eye suddenly looked through the window and saw a familiar figure flashing from the street in front of the library building.
"Huh? That was one of the two men who confronted the Chai family on the dock?
"Miss Qi also said that I should go to them to learn about the information of the Chai family, but I didn't expect to run into ......"
As soon as Zhao Chen thought of this, he saw that not long after the man walked through the street, two more people followed quickly, chasing the man's figure.
This is...... Targeted? Zhao Chen squinted his eyes, immediately closed the book, and found the administrator to handle the "borrowing", and then Shi Shiran left the library building.
Walking into a deserted alley at random, Zhao Chen hid his figure with "toad light", and then took out a folded and ugly "paper crane" from his pocket.
Then, he "sketched" the appearance of the man just now in his mind, and transmitted it to the "paper crane" manipulated by his true qi with his "spiritual sense".
The "paper crane" suddenly took off on its own and pointed in a direction with its slightly bloated head.
This is the "Paper Crane Tracing Method" in the fragment of "The Twelve Methods of Heartlight" obtained by Zhao Chen, and it is also the only spell that the Chai family man "translated" the cultivation method, so there is no need to go to the "Xingcha" to redeem it.
However, the method interpreted by the man of the Chai family is even more incomplete, and if it is not for the taboo, it will be reduced a lot, but he can't be called by someone when casting the spell, and Zhao Chen doesn't want to learn it.
The principle of this method is to obtain the direction of the person you want to find through the "consciousness" that the creature naturally escapes.
For example, the man Zhao Chen was looking for, as long as someone saw him nearby, he would naturally have his image in his mind, and through his own spiritual escape, he was captured by the "Paper Crane Tracing Technique".
But the biggest problem with this technique is that ordinary people may not be able to remember much detail when they look at it, and they will soon forget it, while most monks can restrain their thoughts, and the "paper crane tracing technique" cannot be used at all......
So, a little longer, it's hard to track down anymore.
Unless the target it pursues is particularly distinctive, so distinct that it is unforgettable at first sight.
The reason why Qi Feimeng was tracked in the desert before was entirely because her temperament was too unique, she could "purify" all sentient beings, and even animals and plants had senses, so she could be found by the Chai family man.
Getting back to the point, Zhao Chen, under the guidance of the paper crane, soon came to a temple.
(There is a change in the early hours of this morning~~)
