Chapter 16 Xuanhuang Chronicle



This is a slightly narrow and enclosed room.

A small bed, a desk and a wooden chair.

There is a red bookcase in the corner.

There are no extra decorations in the house.

Occasionally the floor would shake slightly.

Suddenly, a white hand pushed open the tightly closed wooden window.

Outside the window is a vast sea of ​​clouds.

The sun has risen above the sea of ​​clouds.

The cool breeze and morning light hit my face.

Zhao Rong woke up from his early morning sleepiness.

It has been seven days since I left Qingfengju amidst the pursuit of everyone and boarded the ship with Liu Sanbian.

The Qingfeng Pavilion ferry was about a hundred feet high, and Zhao Rong estimated that the flat area was about the size of a sports field. Just as he had imagined, the boat was indeed sailing above the sea of ​​clouds.

I heard from Liu Sanbian that this ferry was built by a craftsman from the Mohist school.

When Zhao Rong first boarded the ship, he was very surprised for a while, but the seasickness for a long time afterwards caught him off guard.

Zhao Rong had never been on a plane in his previous life. The longest distance he had traveled was when he was in college, when he took a train alone from his hometown to the provincial capital.

Moreover, this Yunhai ferry was a bit like a sea ship, and its hull would shake from time to time, making Zhao Rong, who had never left land, very uncomfortable for a while.

At that time, Zhao Rong was envious of Liu Sanbian who seemed to have his feet rooted in the boat, very stable.

Practicing Buddhism seems quite interesting. Why don’t I try it?

However, when he thought of Gui's hurtful words, he felt a little disappointed.

So I really don't have a hidden physique?

Something is wrong. Where is the template of the protagonist after the time travel?

Have I brought shame to the time travelers?

Zhao Rong stared at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window for a while, then he gathered his thoughts, stood up and started today's morning class.

He spread out paper, ground ink, and began to practice calligraphy.

This is how he has been doing these past few days after waking up.

Practice calligraphy and read first, then go to have breakfast.

Since I have become a Confucian scholar in this world and it is very likely that I will never be able to go back, I must take this life seriously.

In fact, his thoughts on this life are very simple.

It's nothing more than trying to understand some truths, doing some interesting things, and taking good care of those who care about him and he cares about.

Therefore, returning the jade, sending letters, practicing calligraphy, and reading are all in accordance with this heart.

After copying several pieces of calligraphy, Zhao Rong felt his wrist a little sore, so he stopped writing.

Take out a beautifully bound book from the book box.

"Xuanhuang Records".

Zhao Rong turned to the page he had folded before and continued reading.

This book was bought for him by Liu Sanbian at the ship's shop a few days ago after he heard that he wanted to know some history and common sense of the Xuanhuang Realm.

It cost two low-grade spirit stones.

Of course, it was Liu Sanbian who took out the spiritual stones, and Zhao Rong accepted them without hesitation.

In fact, after leaving Qingfengju, Liu Sanbian had taken the initiative to return the "Falling Flowers" to him, and wanted to pay for the other "Climbing the Tower" piece.

However, Zhao Rong refused with a smile.

This book "Xuanhuang Chronicles" records a lot of content that interests Zhao Rong.

The book said that in an era so long ago that it was unknown, the Xuanhuang Realm was occupied by thousands of races, and the human race was just an insignificant one among them.

However, under the leadership of the first emperor of the human race, Emperor Xuan, the human race took advantage of the situation to rise, eliminated and expelled all other races, and the remaining ones evolved into the current demon race, which depends on the human race for existence. The human race became the only masters of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Emperor Xuan was also known as Emperor Xuanhuang because of his auspicious virtue of earth. The current name of the Xuanhuang Realm was also given by him, and its ancient name has long been unknown.

The Xuanhuang world is divided into nine continents.

Zhongzhou.

Tunan Continent, Kunlun Continent, Yunmeng Continent, and Wangque Continent.

Taiyi Continent in the east, Fuyao Continent in the west, Kunpeng Continent in the north, and Xiaoyao Continent in the south.

Zhongzhou, the largest and most prosperous continent, is located in the center of Xuanhuang Realm.

As the name implies, the four continents with the characters "east, west, south, and north" in their names are located in the easternmost, westernmost, southernmost, and northernmost parts of the Xuanhuang Realm. The size and number of cultivators of the four continents are second only to the Central Continent.

After that, there are the three small continents mentioned by Gui: Kunlun Continent, Yunmeng Continent, and Wangque Continent. They are the three smallest continents among the nine continents.

As for Tunan Continent, this continent is quite special.

Kunlun Continent is located between Zhongzhou and Beikunpeng Continent.

Tunan Island, Yunmeng Island and Wangque Island are located between Zhongzhou and Nanxiaoyao Island.

Although Tunan Continent is similar in size to the three smaller continents, it is the most important transportation hub in Xuanhuang Realm besides Central Continent.

If people from other continents want to go to the three southern continents, they must pass through Tu Nan Continent. The same is true if people from the three southern continents want to go north. Otherwise, they have to take a very long sea route, which is very troublesome.

Therefore, although Tunan is small, it is extremely prosperous, no less than the four major continents of East, West, South, and North.

Zhao Rong also learned something very interesting from the book - the royal families of all dynasties under the Tunan Mountains were of the Jiang surname.

Is this because there was once a unified dynasty under the Mountain on this continent?

Zhao Rong had some speculations, but he felt that things were more complicated than that.

However, "Xuanhuang Chronicles" did not introduce these in detail. Many things were just mentioned in passing, which made Zhao Rong very curious, but he could only know the general idea.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

I flipped through it purposefully and soon found the description of Jiang Taiqing.

"Emperor Cang, whose real name is Jiang Cang, and whose courtesy name is Taiqing. Cang means sky, and Taiqing also means the sky. He is the second emperor of the human race."

"In Nan Xiaoyaozhou, Baishou, a sword cultivator became the emperor. He had the highest swordsmanship in the history of Xuanhuang Realm. He was born ten thousand years after Emperor Xuan, in a time of great chaos. It coincided with the ancient demon calamity, and the ancient demons returned to Xuanhuang Realm."

"Jiang Taiqing saved the collapsing edifice, quelled the civil strife of the human race, suppressed the demon race, cleaned up the universe, established etiquette for the human race, changed the names of the four continents, supported Confucianism, expanded the "Law of the Mysterious Emperor", rebuilt the Four Great Emperors, established the Four Taiqing Prefectures in the Nine Continents, recruited talents from all states, revived the Xuanhuang human race, and his reputation spread far and wide."

"The two emperors Xuan Cang, the former established the great unification of the human race, and the latter established a great cause that would last for thousands of years and bring eternal peace. Their merits and virtues are enormous."

When Zhao Rong saw this, he pondered for a moment.

Could it be that this Emperor Cang is also a disciple of Confucianism?

As far as he knew, in the Xuanhuang Realm, only Confucian disciples had characters.

As for the great emperors, the book only focused on Emperor Xuan and Emperor Cang. Zhao Rong was a little confused, wondering whether this was a hereditary position or a realm of cultivation.

After thinking about it, he began to look for an introduction to "The Law of the Emperor Xuan".

"The Code of the Mysterious Emperor is the supreme code of the human race. It was written by the first emperor of the human race, the Mysterious Emperor, after he led the human race to the top..."

Zhao Rong read it carefully.

The book says that "Xuan Di Lu" was later revised by several emperors, but the book is vague about its specific content.

It only roughly mentioned that the "Xuan Di Law" stipulates that the resources of the human race should be pooled to establish the Four Great Grand Sects, the Nine Grand Palaces, and the Four Palaces. In addition...

Nine electors were enthroned.

The book does not elaborate on whether there is any other content.

The book also does not introduce the names of these four great emperors and nine electors.

Zhao Rong was confused.

It turns out that cheap goods are not good.

He curled his lips and prepared to go and ask Gui.

Just at this moment, a burst of crisp laughter suddenly wafted over.

Zhao Rong was stunned.

It seemed... to be coming from outside the window.

He glanced at the open window.

He had known before that there seemed to be some kind of magic circle set up outside the Qingfeng Pavilion's ferry, so not much noise and wind would be transmitted when traveling at high speed, and only some breeze would leak in.

So what's with this laughter?

Zhao Rong looked out curiously and discovered that his window was right next to the window of the cabin next door.

He thought for a moment and tilted his head slightly to look into the next window.

I noticed that there was a person reading a book by the window.

Take a closer look.

It turned out to be the pale-faced scholar whom I met by chance in the bookstore that day!
