Chapter 40 0 Years of Catastrophe
Hearing senior brother's suggestion, and thinking about it, Junior Sister Xia turned around and sat down.
At this time, the little fat man twisted a large bag of pastries into the small courtyard, saw the second senior sister sitting at the stone table, couldn't help but stunned, and asked, Second sister, did you break through so quickly?
Senior Sister, I can break through tonight, Xiao Feiyang, just obediently be Wannian Junior Brother. Xia Xiyue couldn't help but turn dark, and said crisply.
Seeing that the scene was a bit lively, of course Baiyun Tower would not answer the conversation.
He directly took the bag from the little fat man, took out the pastry, and ate it with tea, looking like he was watching the excitement.
Dongfang Ziyan frowned, handed the copy in her hand to Baiyunlou, and said softly: Since Chaoyang is also interested and Feiyang is back, brother, let's talk about this clue with everyone.
Bai Yunlou ate the pastry in one bite, clapped his hands, flicked the transcript in his hand, and continued the topic just now: Before I tell you this clue, let me tell you about the ancient way of dating.
It has been more than 3,000 years since the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom. People are used to counting the year in the first year of the founding of the country. It is estimated that few people know the ancient way of counting the year.
At this time, Xia Xiyue interjected: I know this. It is the celestial stems and earthly branches used by the ancients in ancient times. There is a reincarnation every sixty years. The first year is Jiazi, and the last year is Guihai. Nowadays, ordinary people have long since used it. This method has been used to record the year, and I don’t know why, but this strange year is still used at home.”
Baiyunlou nodded: Exactly, during this period of time, I read all kinds of ancient inscriptions and found a pattern. In ancient times, big and strange things would happen every sixty years.
It's the most in the year of Guihai, and it gradually stops after the year of Jiazi. Anecdotes, dynasties change, and impermanent natural disasters are all like this.
This rule should have been the norm in ancient times. The ancients used Jia Zi to mark the year. It must have this intention. The piece of tortoise shell that Junior Sister Xia took out in the general history class last time also confirmed this.
I have studied that piece of tortoise shell carefully. That piece of tortoise shell has completely recorded the major events that happened in the sixty years from the year of Jiazi to the year of Guihai.
There are several ancient texts on that piece of tortoise shell that record the origin of the white fox in Qingqiu. The white fox family came from Beihai, and they assisted the human race in the ancient country at that time to fight against alien invasion. Human races have always been interdependent.
Seeing that the three brothers and sisters listened very seriously, Baiyunlou continued: This piece of tortoise shell also proves that the human race in ancient times, every shell will do a sacrifice to the heavens, and pray to the heavens for help.
At that time, there might have been immortals. According to the inscriptions, there were immortals descending from the clouds, and a ray of sword light cut off the head of the evil dragon. These so-called immortals are more likely to be cultivators with more advanced cultivation bases.
Having said that, Bai Yunlou opened the transcript in his hand.
Pointing to one of the pages, he said, In the library of the academy, I found a large number of county magazines and miscellaneous notes from before and after the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom. It is estimated that the academy also wants to find out the root cause of the catastrophe three thousand years ago.
From many records, it can be seen that the catastrophe began in the 61st year before the founding of the Great Xia. That year was the year of Guihai, and there were many disasters in the world.
There are records in counties all over the country. The demons danced wildly, and the immortals hidden in the cave were born to subdue the demons. The battle lasted for more than ten years, and finally ended in a tragic victory in the world.
But judging from the results, this is not the end, and it should not be the real cause of the catastrophe, because the more than ten years of the battle between immortals and demons has not touched the foundation of the cultivation world.
Excluding this war, I re-read the county annals and found a clue that might not be a clue.
Baiyun Tower spread out the topography map of the Great Xia Kingdom again, pointed to a frontier town in the north and said, In the year of Guihai, demons invaded from the North Sea, and this unremarkable small town guarded and recorded another strange phenomenon, a black shadow covering the sky. After escaping into the sky, the sky was filled with rays of light, and there were reports of thunder and thunder, which lasted for nearly an hour.
There was no movement for nearly fifty years,
The guards of the town were changed twice, until the autumn of the fiftieth year, thunder broke out in the daytime, and the sound pierced the sky, as if the sky was collapsing.
In the winter of the same year, there were records in several counties in Zhongzhou that fires were raging in the daytime, piercing the sky, and fragments of stars fell like rain towards Liangzhou.
In the same year, the governor of Liangzhou also recorded that the flames flowed through the sky in the daytime and fell into the boundless sand sea. The remaining fragments were found on the edge of the sand sea. They were all burnt to black and couldn't recognize their original shape. They were finally recorded as fragments of stars.
Three years later, the governor of Donghai County recorded that a black shadow covered the sun in the East Sea. Afterwards, a soaring sword light cut down on the shadow and landed in the East Sea. The sword light also fell into the East Sea.
After that, there was no record of black shadows. Half a year later, there was a stream of sword shadows all over the sky going to the East China Sea. There are records in many states and counties.
Bai Yunlou pointed to the last line of the transcript: The last suspicious thing is that in the same year, Nanzhou in the south of the South China Sea was surrounded by storms, and the Sea of Storms was formed. Nanzhou became an unknown place for three thousand years.
There are so many doubts that can be found. Do you have any ideas? What Baiyunlou didn't say was that when he saw these records for the first time, his spiritual consciousness would have a slight reaction.
After saying all this in one breath, Baiyunlou felt an incomparably carefree feeling. Even if it was just a clue of such a big secret, one could feel the invisible pressure.
It's a bit of a relief to have someone share it. Thinking of this, Baiyunlou decided to go to the head of the mountain to share it when he has time.
Xia Xiyue was dumbfounded when she heard this, and said in a nasty voice: Brother Bai, where did you find these records, I haven't seen any of them.
I found them all in the library of the academy. If my junior sister is interested, you can read all the rows of ancient books and county annals on the west side of the library.
Many of the records recorded there are all kinds of strange, bizarre, and very interesting.
Upon hearing that there were so many ancient books to read, Junior Sister Xia flinched in fright: Brother Bai has read it, so I don't need to read it. I have more important lessons to study.
Dongfang Ziyan took the topographical map of the Great Xia Kingdom, from the North Sea to the sand sea in the west of Liangzhou, from the sand sea to the East China Sea, and finally to the storm sea in Nanzhou, and finally returned to the boundless sand sea.
After thinking for a while, he stretched out his snow-white finger and pointed to the boundless sand sea, and said faintly: You can start to investigate from the sand sea.
Bai Yunlou nodded slightly: Junior Sister Ziyan and I think the same. Originally, the Sea of Storms was definitely the most suspicious, but now the top experts of the Golden Core Stage cannot get in. Our current strength is estimated that even the Sea of Storms cannot get in.
There should be some clues that can be found in the East China Sea, but the East China Sea is 10,000 meters deep. If you want to dive into the deep sea to investigate, you must at least have the Golden Core Stage cultivation. After much deliberation, it is most appropriate to go to the Sand Sea to investigate first.
If Senior Brother Bai doesn't mind, Junior Sister is willing to go together to search for clues. Dongfang Ziyan said without hesitation.
