Chapter 47: The Origin of the Eight Desolations
"In ancient times, demons were raging, and the Nine Demon Kings wanted to reappear in the ancient Heavenly Court, and the seventeenth Wende Sect leader of Kunlun died in battle......"
"Pulai Cangguo is a special product of the Western Wilderness, similar to red dates with purple lines, sour and astringent taste, can cure stomach pain and bloated belly ......"
"The Heavenly Demon invaded brazenly in the primeval era, the heavens and the earth changed greatly, the God Emperor Xuanyuan reerected Buzhou Mountain, and set the peace ...... Kyushu"
"The seven veins of Shushan have a long history, and the seven ancestors of the late ancient times went down to the Tianshan Mountain, killed the three demon kings, razed their clan, and the world was shaken......"
Han Sheng sat in the stack of books in Building No. 6, reading one after another, looking at ten lines at a glance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info fortunately, he has a good body and good memory, and he quickly memorized the content of hundreds of books. It's a pity that he can't be happy at all, because there are still 170,000 books waiting for him to memorize, including Yu Jian.
Is Elder Qingyun's brain a black hole? How could he buy so many books?
Originally, he thought that these thirteen bamboo buildings were not very large, and the books and bamboo slips were all on the second floor, and the visual inspection added up to thousands of books, at most more than 10,000.
But reality gave him a cruel slap, and the bamboo slips and books added up to only more than 6,000 books. But that ordinary jade slip is actually an existence comparable to an e-book!
Any bundle of jade slips contains a thousand books, similar to a collection of novels. Such jade slips, in the thirteen bamboo buildings, each of them is at least a hundred bundles!
When Han Sheng first discovered this secret, he suspected that Elder Qingyun was trying to take the opportunity to drag him to death and make him stay at Guantian Peak for the rest of his life. But Elder Qingyun told him very calmly that people would read books faster and faster, and even more so monks. Because of frequent contact with the aura of heaven and earth, most monks will be much smarter, plus they often use their brains, and in the end, you can even reach the point where you can remember it immediately as soon as you open the book.
Han Sheng was skeptical about this, and Elder Qingyun put on a show for him on the spot. Han Sheng reads the title of a book casually, and he can recite it on the spot.
It's a pity that he only memorized four or five copies, and Uncle Qingbo came to take Elder Qingyun away. It is said that he broke through the door of the meditation hall, and the head of the house fined him half a year, and the detention period was doubled.
Han Sheng had no guide for a moment, he thought for a moment, and decided to start from the first building where Elder Qingyun lived, see the thirteenth in order, and then come to Elder Qingyun to test.
After a period of practice, Han Sheng found that as Elder Qingyun said, the speed of reading books was getting faster and faster, but it was still a little difficult to remember. Often memorized this book and forgot that one, so Han Sheng used an extremely simple method to deepen his memory. Whenever he memorized a book, Han Sheng would write the title of the book on a blank page, and then read the title of the book the next day.
The more I memorize the titles, the slower the progress becomes, after all, many books cannot be memorized in a moment, and there are many things that cannot be depicted in words, such as maps and portraits.
Han Sheng's approach to this is that when he sees the name, the content quickly replays in his mind, like a movie. The speed of replay in the mind can be many times faster.
In order to save time, he made a special trip back to the back mountain, handed over all the money on his body to Uncle Lu, and asked him to help replace it with simple dry food such as fried noodles and cooked rice. I also prepared a lot of dried fruits and containers, fortunately the white wolf does not need to be fed, it can catch birds and mice by itself, but it is often too lazy to get up and move for more than ten days.
After the dry food was delivered, Han Sheng mixed it with dried fruits and distributed it evenly on the thirteen bamboo buildings, filling the containers with water. When you're ready, start reading!
Han Sheng took a deep breath and walked into the No. 1 Bamboo Building again, this will be the second penance, also for the sake of cultivation, burying his head in hard study.
"In ancient times, 89,200 years ago, the corpse of the third prince of Long appeared in Haining Mansion, and his blood was dry and his bones were dry. The dragon king was furious and flooded the seven mansions......"
"Manju Sara, also known as the other side flower. Purple, red and black, bewitching and beautiful, a specialty of the demon world, growing on the corpse, charming and soulful......"
"Kongtong Mountain is divided into two factions, east and west, east and west, and the two are incompatible. Since ancient times, there have been 9,400 fights ......"
Han Sheng sat on the ground, with three ancient books in front of him, automatically turning the pages without wind. His body was still absorbing and refining the aura of heaven and earth, and then dispersed from it, but this time he left four drops of mana, which was specially used to turn the book. As Elder Qingyun said, even if he didn't do any cultivation, as long as he maintained this kind of breathing and practicing qi, he would naturally have a day of Ning Dan.
But Han Sheng couldn't wait, because his relatives were mortals and couldn't wait for many years.
In order to be able to see them, Han Sheng had to soar to immortality within seventy years, otherwise he would die.
Soon after the three books were read, Han Sheng threw them back, took a bundle of jade slips, put his mind into it, and looked at them one by one.
Behind him, the books he had read were already more than two meters high.
Chow mein and Shimizu were on his left and right, standing still, quietly waiting.
Outside the bamboo building, Elder Qingyun, who had already been released, was half-floating in the air, frowning and looking at Han Sheng: "Reading is supposed to be a pleasure thing, how can you be made by this kid as if he is being tortured? As for fighting so hard? I still want to test it after thirteen years, but at his speed, it should be tested in five years." ”
The bamboo building where Han Sheng is located is No. 4.
Time flies like a white horse, and it seems to different people that it passes at different speeds.
A year later, the No. 1 bamboo building.
"Elder Qingyun, Daoist Han Sheng asks to see, please test. A hoarse sound sounded like a tin sheet rubbing.
Qingyun woke up from drunkenness, he threw down the wine jar and books in his arms, looked at the withered, skinny young man at the door in disbelief, and asked, "Are you Han Sheng?"
Han Sheng repeated dumbfoundedly: "Daoist Han Sheng asks to see, please test." ”
Qingyun slapped her forehead: "One year! This world is so crazy, you can read the book I have saved for two hundred years in only one year." ”
Han Sheng was dumbfounded: "Please test." ”
Qingyun looked at him with a smile and a smile: "You are stupid to read, don't you know how to change the word?" Not to mention that it has only been a year, I don't believe you have finished reading. ”
Han Sheng was dumbfounded: "Please test." ”
Qing Yun's expression became serious, and he found from Han Sheng's empty eyes, the corners of his mouth that moved slightly, and the constantly vibrating air that even at this time, Han Sheng was still silently reciting the titles of one book after another.
Qingyun smiled lightly: "Before the test starts, I will explain the rules. It's very simple, I ask a hundred questions from the collection, and each question gives you fifteen seconds, including the question. If you can't answer it in fifteen seconds, you will fail immediately. You can only test once a day. As long as it passes, I promise you a wish. ”
Han Sheng was dumbfounded: "Please test." ”
Elder Qingyun looked at Han Sheng's empty eyes, sighed in a low voice, and then said, "In the last years of ancient times, who had killed the Dragon King?"
Han Sheng blinked, countless words and pictures flowed through his mind, one of them stopped, and he said in a deep voice: "There are two people in total, the head of the Xuanfeng of Shushan, and the elder of Kunlun Weidao." ”
Qingyun showed a look of approval, but the speed of her speech was not slow at all: "The Ling Bear Beast is invulnerable, where is the weakness?"
Han Sheng quickly said: "Three inches below the tip of the nose, a sword stabs it." ”
Qingyun asked, "Who cut off the Shushan Bilei Immortal Sword?"
Han Sheng replied, "Ancient Sword Venerable. ”
......
The questions came out faster and faster, and the subject matter became more and more biased, and Han Sheng often needed to pause and think before answering before the single-digit countdown. Despite this, he still answered more than sixty questions in one go, until Qingyun asked the question: "What is 'Liuhe Eight Desolations'?"
Han Sheng replied: "The world." ”
Qingyun shook her head.
Han Sheng replied again: "The universe of the universe generally refers to the direction. ”
Qingyun shook her head.
Han Sheng frowned, page by page of the book in his mind, and Qing Yun began to count down: "Ten, nine, eight、......"
Han Sheng had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly replied: "Liuhe - up and down, left and right, front and back, eight wildernesses - east, west, south, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest. ”
“...... Two, one. Qingyun looked at him with a smile and said softly: "Go back and take a look, don't memorize." You don't just read books, you read life and history. ”
Han Sheng was unsteady on his feet, and sat on the ground, extremely tired: "How can this be? I have obviously memorized ...... so many times"
Qingyun said lightly: "It's useless to only memorize, you have to understand and treat the things in the book as your own experience." When you're in danger, no one will be kind enough to give you fifteen seconds to react. ”
Han Sheng asked stupidly, "What does the Liuhe Eight Desolations mean?"
Qingyun smiled: "Find out the answer yourself, and then remember it firmly." ”
Han Sheng started to flip through Building No. 1 again, looking for a detailed explanation of the "Liuhe Eight Desolations". His flip speed is almost phantom, and he usually gives up on the first page of a book and starts looking for the next one. Time flew by again, and Han Sheng kept flipping through the pages from Building 1 to Building 13. Elder Qingyun went to Tongming Peak to ask for a lot of Bigu Dan, so that he would not die before he could leave the school, Han Sheng searched in the stacks of books like this, and heard Elder Qingyun's sigh from time to time.
Until one day, when he was reading the Demon World Legends, he suddenly found that the map of the Demon World behind the cover was two continents that resembled Shenzhou. As if Mars had fallen into an oil barrel and inspiration exploded, he rummaged through all the books and atlases of world geography in his memory, piecing them together one by one. The truth came to him.
Liuhe is space, and Bahuang is geography!
In this world, it stands to reason that there should be eight continents, but from the eastern wilderness, the western wilderness, the southern wilderness, the northern wilderness, to the Shenzhou continent surrounded by desolations, there are only five in total. Three more pieces are missing. But in the other space-time demon realm, there are two continents similar to Shenzhou, and they passed from here!
There was another piece that could not be found, Han Sheng kept flipping through the map in his memory, and when he saw the islands on the chart, he seemed to understand.
I need all the information of the primeval era!
Han Sheng pressed his fingers his temples, endured the pain of his brain muscles twitching and jumping, and forcibly recalled all the books and materials related to the primeval era.
In the primeval era, the longest and oldest of the three eras, the five races of gods, demons, demons, orcs lived in harmony and survived together on land. It was an era that countless future generations yearned for. But in the same way, in the primeval era, due to the loss of information due to the age, coupled with the yearning of future generations, I don't know how many wild histories have been written, and trying to find out the truth from them can be described as looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, Han Sheng only studied geography, and did not involve anything else, so it was easier.
After reading the last book of "Baizhou Lake and River Chronicles", Han Sheng let go of his hands that pressed the acupuncture points. Through the changes in the map and the author's own account, he deduced an extremely terrible thing.
In the primeval era, there were eight continents, commonly known as the Eight Desolations. At the end of the primeval period, the five clans fought, and one barren land suddenly shattered into an island, while the other two barren lands were banished out and called the Demon Realm. At that time, all the strong people of all races died, and the primeval era came to an end. It wasn't until thousands of years later that another group of human beings came out of the Southern Wilderness and became a hegemon by breeding, learning and innovating, and the ancient era was announced.
"Looks like you got the answer, are you ready to test?" Elder Qingyun's voice sounded behind him.
Han Sheng smiled: "No, I have to read it again, connect the knowledge, and really understand these books." ”
Qingyun laughed: "Miao Miao Miao! You kid has finally opened his mind!"
