The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 72 History and Tracing

Yumen County City, in the Fuyan Library in Nancheng District.

Zhao Chen was sitting at a table next to the glass window, drinking tea while reading the "Biography of Heroes of the Great Ancestor" in his hand.

Since returning to Yumen County, he would come here to sit here every morning after morning exercises 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, the "Qinglian Sword" who ranks first in Yumen's list of outstanding people.

And both the scale and the number of books are far more than the public library established by the imperial court.

Just want to come here to borrow books, there is a certain "threshold".

The Zhao family where Zhao Chen lives is also considered to be the in-laws of the Li family, and they successfully obtained the "membership card".

After studying history books before, Zhao Chen has discovered that the history of this world before Zhuangzong Li Cunxu of the Later Tang Dynasty proclaimed himself emperor is similar to the situation in his original world, and the major historical events, culture and art are almost the same...

The only difference is that the history of this world is in the style of "romance". The incident was also recorded in the history books in a dignified manner.

In the annotations of later generations, the cultivation bases of these generals and aliens were seriously guessed.

For example, Zhuge Liang was a true energy monk, and he practiced a lot of taboo spells, so he died immediately after being accidentally broken by Wei Yan.

And fierce generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are masters who have opened at least seven orifices. The inner world is just formed, and their spiritual power is strong. They can deter others with their aura.

But in general, until the two years before Tang Zhuangzong Tongguang, this world did not have too much power beyond the norm, the highest level was only the level of true energy and orifice refining, and it was extremely rare.

All the turning points came from the "Jiashen Tianchang" in the second year of Tongguang!
After that, evil spirits came into the world, and Taichu preached, and the upper limit of power in this world was gradually raised to the present level...

"Tongxuan", "Dongxuan", and "Shengxuan" are not the end, some people even reached the realm of Taoist monarch above "Shengxuan"!

It is a pity that from the two years after Tongguang to the collapse of the Tang Dynasty and the end of ancient times, during this period of tens of thousands of years, there is no historical record, only the three passages that the master said:
"In the second year of Tongguang, the Jiashen sky changed, and evil spirits appeared in the world for the first time, and people were devastated.

"In the early days, the Daoist Kunlun preached the Tao, and the world began to see the method of cultivation. The Zhuangzong brothers cultivated supernatural powers, suppressed evil spirits, swept away the world, and continued the Tang Dynasty.

"In the last years of ancient times, the Anton Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty disappeared, and evil spirits occupied the vast sea; the Kunlun Nine Vessels and the Hundred Kingdoms of the Western Regions disappeared, turning into an endless desert, and the world was in chaos."

And the rest are just legends and stories, which are not enough to be believed...

What is hidden in this history?And the history is lost, will it be related to the "fog of history"?
With doubts, Zhao Chen turned his attention to the "Biography of the Great Ancestor Heroes" in his hand.

"Great ancestor Gaozu's surname is Ming, taboo Zhen, style name Shuzhi... His mother, Mrs. Peng, dreamed of stars in her arms at night, and Gaozu was born...

"At that time, the ancient Tang Dynasty ended, and the princes of Huaxia came together and attacked each other for hundreds of years.

"And the great evil in the sea often infects the inland. Fortunately, the Taoist holy places such as 'Daoxianmen' and 'Lichen Sword Palace' blocked them, so they barely resisted...

"Gaozu set up an army in Liyang, and after 530 years, he defeated Chen Han, Zhu Wu, Zhang Chu, Zhao Song, Shi Yan and more than ten countries, and finally swept away the world and established the Great Xia.

"The reason for the name 'Xia' is because the first dynasty in China was 'Xia', and Gao Zu had great ambitions to end with 'Xia' and echo it with the ending, implying that the world will not change again from now on, Great Xia has never changed for thousands of years..."

Looking at the "huaben" full of vernacular in his hand, Zhao Chen had the illusion that he was reading a pirated book for ten yuan and three in his previous life.

Although I know that the level of this kind of reading is not too high, but it is much worse than expected...

Zhao Chen sighed slightly, but had to read on. After all, Daxia did not have an official history book of the dynasty... Even if it did, it was not released to the public... In addition to the historical materials recorded by the various sects and families, there are only storytelling and story books. I can understand some stories that happened in Daxia over 8000 years ago.

It is said that Great Xia Gaozu Mingzhen has entered the realm of "Ascension to Xuan", and he may not be dead until now. Who would dare to write his historical materials while he was alive?

Fortunately, although the stories in the story are exaggerated, they can reflect some reality, and reading can be regarded as gaining knowledge... Hey, the energy of the original owner is spent on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but if he pays more attention to business, I will Can save a lot of effort ah.

Just as Zhao Chen took a sip of the tea and was about to continue reading, he suddenly saw a familiar figure flashing across the street in front of the library from the corner of his eye through the window.

"Huh? That's one of the two men who confronted the Chai family on the pier?

"Miss Qi also asked me to go to them to find out information about the Chai family. I didn't expect to come across this..."

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 figure of the man.

This is... being watched by someone?Zhao Chen squinted his eyes, closed the book immediately, found the administrator to apply for "borrowing", and then Shi Shiran left the library.

Randomly stepping into an empty alley, Zhao Chen used the "toad light" to hide his figure, and then took out an ugly folded "paper crane" from his pocket.

Then, he "outlined" the appearance of the man just now in his mind, and passed it to the "paper crane" controlled by his true energy with his "spiritual perception".

"Paper Crane" immediately vacated by itself, pointing in one direction with its slightly bloated head.

This is the "Paper Crane Tracing Method" in the remnants of "The Twelve Methods of Heart Light" obtained by Zhao Chen, and it is also the only spell that a man from the Chai family "translated" the practice method, so there is no need to go to "Xingcha" to exchange it.

However, the method interpreted by the man from the Chai family was even more incomplete, and if it weren't for the taboos, it would have been reduced a lot, but Zhao Chen didn't want to learn it because he couldn't be called by his name when casting the spell.

The principle of this method is to obtain the location of the person you want to find through the "consciousness" that escapes naturally.

For example, the man Zhao Chen is looking for, as long as someone nearby sees him, his image will naturally remain in his mind, and he will be captured by the "Paper Crane Tracking Technique" through his own mental escape.

But the biggest problem with this technique is that ordinary people may not be able to remember the details after a glance, and they will soon forget it, but most monks can restrain their thoughts, and the "Paper Crane Tracking Technique" cannot be used at all...

So, after a little longer, it can no longer be traced.

Unless the characteristics of the target it pursues are 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, able to "pursue" all living beings, and even animals and plants could sense it, so she was found by the man from the Chai family.

Closer to home, under the guidance of Zhihe, Zhao Chen soon came to a temple.
