"This is actually a study room, how wonderful it is!"

Xu Jin looked at the books placed on the bookshelf in the room in front of him, a light flashed in his eyes, and he felt very surprised.

They followed Wu Xing and arrived at a small mansion. The owner of this mansion was Wu Xing himself.

Nearly three hundred blood owl Taoist soldiers basically filled this small mansion to the brim. Several people were packed into every room, and all available rooms were used. However, Xu Jin did not expect that

What's surprising is that I was assigned to the study room.

Being able to place himself and a dozen Blood Owl Dao soldiers here shows that the books in the study are not important to Wu Xing, which also means that Xu Jin may be able to read these books.

Along the way from the military camp to Liangyu, in just about two days, Xu Jin became more eager to systematically understand the world.

The few words I got from others are really fragmented, and the people I have come into contact with so far, except for the military leader Wu Xing, are other blood owl Tao soldiers around me. The former cannot have the patience to deepen his understanding of this world.

, the latter may not have much knowledge, and may not be as good as myself!

In this way, it has become an excellent choice to understand the world through books. I didn't have the opportunity to be exposed to it before, so I didn't dare to think about it. Now that I have the opportunity, I must seize it.

However, if you want to look through these books, you need a suitable time. At the very least, you can't look through them without caring about others. After all, in Wu Xing's mansion, touching other people's things without permission is a no-no.

Not a very good behavior.

Time passed quickly, and it was completely dark. Some of the Blood Owl Dao soldiers arranged in the study were leaning against the wall with their legs crossed, choosing to meditate with their eyes closed, while others were lying in the middle of the room, closing their eyes and resting silently.

Xu Jin leaned against the bookshelf. After everyone's breathing became even, he opened his eyes, carefully took down a book from the bookshelf behind him, and lowered his head to read.

It has to be said that the ability of night vision is extremely useful at this time. Even if the room is pitch dark, Xu Jin can clearly see the words on the book in his hand.

The first book Xu Jin took down from the bookshelf had the two characters "Yun Shui" written on the cover. After opening it, Xu Jin discovered that it was actually a book about predicting weather changes. The content was very simple. Basically

It means long-term observation of the changes in clouds and fog, and slowly summed up the connection with weather changes.

After briefly browsing the books, Xu Jin put the books back on the shelf and changed another book. This time it was an agricultural book. Xu Jin quickly put it back on the bookshelf.

I took out more than a dozen books in succession, all of which were related to the livelihood of ordinary people. These were not what Xu Jin wanted at all.

There are not many books in this study room. There are more than thirty books in the bookshelf. Xu Jin has browsed through most of them, but still can't find the book he wants. He already has a bad feeling in his heart.

, is it possible that after finally getting access to books, there is simply no book you want.

With some anxiety, Xu Jin flipped through the remaining books. After picking up one of the books, Xu Jin's eyes immediately flashed with joy when he saw the title on the cover.

"found it!"

On the cover of the book in his hand, the three characters "History of the State of Chen" were clearly written, which indicated that this should be a history book recording the history of the State of Chen. This was the kind of book Xu Jin was looking for.

Carefully opening the cover, Xu Jin began to read the contents recorded in the book carefully. As he flipped through the pages of the "History of the State of Chen" in his hand, Xu Jin gradually began to have a clearer understanding of the Chen State where he lived.

understanding.

According to the records in the book, Chen State was actually a vassal state. It was founded more than a thousand years ago and was split from a larger vassal state. The founder of the state was named Chen Yao. He inherited the bloodline of the God of Yingshan Changcheng and established his capital.

Yu Liangyu has had six heads of state so far.

In this book, some typical deeds of each leader of the Chen Kingdom were recorded in more detail. Xu Jin read these contents and gradually began to understand something about the world.

At least he knows that there are many vassal states like Chen State in the world today, and there is only one common master that everyone respects, and that is the Emperor Sheng of Dasheng. In name, all the vassal states are Dasheng.

Fengguo.

Every three years, Da Sheng will hold a banquet of princes. At that time, most of the princes will be present to pay tribute to Emperor Sheng. It is also an opportunity for princes to communicate with each other.

However, it seems that the atmosphere at the princes' banquet is not particularly harmonious. The deeds of several kings recorded in this "History of the State of Chen" basically all include their deeds of using clever words to compete with others at the princes' banquet.

But it is unclear whether these deeds are true or whether they are embellishments by the people who wrote the books.

After reading the "History of Chen Guo" in his hand, Xu Jin carefully put it back on the bookshelf, and then flipped through the remaining books. In fact, after seeing this book, Xu Jin already felt that he had a lot of excitement.

It was a harvest, but he still hoped that among the remaining books, there would be some that would be helpful to him. After all, he missed this opportunity, and he didn’t know when he would have the next opportunity to get in touch with books.

Xu Jin checked the last few remaining books, pulled out a "Mythology Notes", and opened it to read.

This book records some mythological stories. Xu Jin has been on the road for the past two days and has confirmed from Wu Xing that there are gods in this world. Therefore, Xu Jin still attaches great importance to this book that records mythical stories.

of.

After carefully browsing the contents of the book, the first story recorded above directly attracted Xu Jin's attention.

The content of the story probably says that a long time ago, there was no night in the world. One day, a layer of darkness suddenly appeared in the sky. The sun's rays could not shine on the earth, making the earth dark and cold, and many creatures died as a result.

.

These dead creatures, because of their obsession before death, even if their souls fall into the netherworld, they are still tortured by darkness and coldness, and cannot find peace.

A goddess in the netherworld couldn't bear to see more and more souls who could not rest in peace, so she wanted to save them and bring light to the earth again.

As a result, the goddess tried so hard but could not shake the dark sky at all. In desperation, the goddess gave up her life and transformed her body into 129,600 palm-sized objects.

illusory creatures.

The illusory creature she transformed into has very little power, but it can easily pass through the dark sky, collect the brilliance of the sun and stars, and then throw the collected brilliance to the earth and the netherworld. From then on, the earth has light again.

Even the netherworld was cast into some glimmer of light, allowing those souls tortured by darkness and coldness to rest in peace.

Those 129,600 illusory creatures are revered as Gods of Flowers because they have the ability to collect the brilliance of the sun and stars and are transformed by gods.

For a long time after that, these flower-picking gods became a bridge to transmit light, until one day the dark sky disappeared and the earth no longer needed them, and these flower-picking gods gradually disappeared.

"The God of Caihua, the realm of Caihua, it seems that the first realm of cultivation is named after the God of Caihua!"

After Xu Jin read this story, he immediately associated Caihua Shen with the first realm of spiritual practice. Nine times out of ten, the name of the first realm of practice was named after Caihua God.

Continuing to flip through the book in his hand, Xu Jin saw the second story, which introduced a god named Heguang who traveled among the mountains and rivers and was good at sorting out the earth's veins.

The book describes this god as having the body of a snake and a snake's tail. He likes music and often holds a small drum in his hand. Wherever he passes, scorched soil turns into fertile soil, swamps turn into plains, and sewage turns into clear springs. He is regarded as a god who brings auspiciousness.

Behind this story with the God of Light is a story called the God of Duyou. It is said that a long time ago, after the death of a living being, the soul could not actively enter the netherworld, so many souls stayed in the human world and suffered in various pains.

Under it, it turned into various vicious ghosts.

Seeing this, a god in the netherworld transformed himself into the rules of heaven and earth, so that the souls of all dead creatures would enter the netherworld at the moment of death, and the world would no longer be disturbed by vicious ghosts.

.

Looking through the book in his hand page by page, Xu Jin looked at the stories of the gods one by one. Until he turned to the last page, Xu Jin was attracted by an illustration before he read the story.

This is a very simple illustration. It depicts several men with their upper bodies naked and their lower bodies wrapped in animal skins. They stand bowed in front of three tall gods. One of the men is holding something made of animal skins in his hands.

The completed scroll looks very humble.

Xu Jin looked at the illustration carefully, and then turned his attention to the text next to it. This is the last mythological story introduced in this book, and it is also the only story in which humans appear in mythology.

"Under the Cangshan Mountain, by the Qishui River, Yuan brought several people to see the gods, displayed offerings, and showed their respect. He was favored by the gods, and made a covenant between the gods and humans, promising to protect them and teach them about farming. This is how the human race prospered.

Machine, remember the kindness of the gods, build temples to worship, and spread the worship endlessly!"

"Yuan performed great deeds, was pleased by the gods, respected by everyone, and respected him as his co-master. He reigned for more than two hundred years and raised twelve sons and three daughters, all of whom were virtuous. Six sons succeeded him as co-master, and the rest of his bloodline spread to all parts of the human race.

The inheritance is endless, Yu in ancient times is now flourishing, they are all descendants of Yuan, and they are regarded as the orthodoxy respected by the human race!"
