"Listen to me as I explain in detail."

Bai Yu raised a smile and spoke seriously.

Just about a day ago.

After hearing about Eternal Day from the leader's mouth for the first time in the study, Bai Yu sent a message to his trusted subordinates, asking them to go to major libraries to look up all the information about Eternal Day. Perhaps there would be traces of Eternal Day in those ancient books.

This investigation is bound to take some time. After all, reading and searching through the vast amount of ancient books is never an easy task.

After this, because the leader displayed various miracles, Bai Yu completely believed in the existence of Yong Zhou and chose to join.

She had originally forgotten about this confidant whom she had sent to the library to investigate ancient books.

However, just last night, after the leader flew to the United States, eight time zones away, the confidant she had sent to investigate Yong Zhou also brought back an interim report.

In the quiet study, Bai Yu quietly looked through the work results submitted by his subordinates and confidants in the past few days.

That is, "Investigation on Eternal Daylight".

The word "eternal day" usually refers to "long daytime" in Chinese history.

He was ordered to investigate Yong Zhou's confidants, but he was at a loss for a moment, so he started looking for written records with the words "Yong Zhou".

[A poem from the Tang Dynasty, "Sent to my brother, Guo Jiongduan Gong, in Shaanxi Province": "I chant all day long, my throat is dry and I am silent."]

[Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty wrote "Drunk in the Shadow of Flowers": The mist and thick clouds make the day long and sad, and the fragrant agarwood dissolves the golden beast. It is the Double Ninth Festival again, and the jade pillow and gauze kitchen are chilly in the middle of the night. After dusk, I drink wine in the east fence, and there is a faint fragrance filling my sleeves. Don't say that I am not heartbroken, the curtains are rolled up by the west wind, and I am thinner than the yellow flowers. ]

[Ming Dynasty Wen Zhengming's poem "April": "If I want to kill the long day, there is a fragment of a book under the window."]

[The first chapter of Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin of the Qing Dynasty: "One hot summer day, the scholar was sitting in his study, his hands tired, he threw away his book, and dozed off." The 79th chapter of Dream of the Red Chamber: "There was no sound of chess pieces being knocked during the long day, and bird droppings were staining the chessboard."]

["Letters from Two Places·Xu Guangping": "It is good to meet with acquaintances, and it can also help to kill the long day."]

When the word "eternal day" is mentioned in many poems and articles, it does not have any special meaning, but is used to describe the long daytime without exception.

The first half of the report compiled by the confidant based on reading ancient books is basically like this, and there is nothing worth paying attention to.

However, when he read the second half of the report, Bai Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

The confidant had no idea what Bai Yu wanted to find out when he was only given the two words "Eternal Day" to investigate, so he simply went deeper into the direction of the sun.

The second half of the report begins with this sentence: [The so-called eternal daylight is often understood as a long day, and the daytime is related to the sun. ]

Bai Yu nodded. She now knew that the symbol of eternal daylight was the sun pattern, so there would be no problem in investigating in the direction of the sun.

[In various historical books, whenever the sun is mentioned, there is a certain amount of awe.]

[This is a culture of sun worship, a belief that arises from the strong sense of the sun's existence, and is inevitable in most civilizations.]

【The belief in the sun is the most widespread and profound. Kuafu chased the sun, Houyi shot down the sun, Helios drove a fire horse, Surya drove a car to travel... Countless solar myths are circulated in various cultures.】

The second half of the confidant's report focused on investigating the sun worship culture that is deeply rooted in various civilizations.

Bai Yu narrowed his eyes and flipped through a pile of listed solar myths, trying to find some possible commonalities with Eternal Day.

She had a vague idea: perhaps, in history, we could get a glimpse of the giant Eternal Day.

really.

When Bai Yu came across a record about solar mythology in Chinese culture, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

[Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Eastern Classic: "There is a Fusang tree on the top of Tanggu, where ten suns bathe, residing in the water. Nine suns reside on the lower branches, and one sun resides on the upper branches."]

[In the painted silk painting unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, the hibiscus tree has winding branches and fist-shaped leaves. The lines are smooth and the depiction is delicate. Mineral pigments such as cinnabar, azurite and malachite are used, with strong contrast and brilliant colors.]

[The Records of the Ten Continents in the Sea states: "Fusang is located on the east coast of the East China Sea. Ten thousand miles away from the shore, there is another blue sea to the east, which is as wide and vast as the East China Sea. Fusang is in the blue sea, and there are many trees on the land. Their leaves are like mulberry trees, some are several thousand feet long, and some are more than two thousand feet in circumference. The trees grow in pairs from the same root and rely on each other, so they are named Fusang."]

…

This is a system of sun worship in Chinese culture, which says that there are ten divine birds in the sky which are the suns themselves and they live on a tree called Fusang.

Every day a sun bird flies up, symbolizing the rising of the sun in the earth and setting of the sun.

The summary of the sun worship culture of various countries naturally recorded more than just this one, but Bai Yu couldn't take his eyes off it.

Hibiscus tree...

Looking at these records, Bai Yu suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu.

She thought of the tree in the headquarters cave, the huge mulberry tree that was so tall that no one knew how tall it was.

Like! Too much like! The big tree in the headquarters cave also has two thick branches leaning against each other, which is consistent with the record in "Records of the Ten Continents in the Sea" that "two trees grow from the same root and lean on each other, so they are called Fusang."

The countless fiery red mulberries on the tree roughly matched the record in "Records of the Ten Continents in the Sea" [Although the tree is large, its leaves and fruits are like those of mulberry trees in mid-summer, but the fruits are sparse and red.], except that the number is much greater than that recorded.

The big tree in the headquarters cave has a structure with winding branches and fist-shaped leaves. It is almost exactly the same as the Fusang tree depicted in the painted silk painting unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha.

Looking at the large area of ​​water in the headquarters cave, it is just like the Tanggu waters described in various records: like a blue sea, vast and boundless.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to prove that the tree in the headquarters cave is the sacred tree recorded in mythology and legends - the Fusang tree, and the space in the headquarters cave is the legendary Tang Valley.

Bai Yu still remembers the day when she ate mulberries and became a level 0 psychic. She had initially acquired the ability of spiritual perception and she subconsciously activated it.

In front of her was the big tree of the headquarters cave and the leader himself.

Then she discovered that the tree and the person in the headquarters cave had spiritual power as dazzling as the sun in the sky, emitting infinite and majestic power.

The heavy feeling made her feel as if she was under real pressure.

At that time, Bai Yu decisively ended the observation from that new perspective, and only then did he recover from the pressure of the two "big suns".

It vaguely matches various records, and in spiritual perception it is like a big sun...

Bai Yu felt that he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
