Chapter 1678 The Hidden Past
Of course, Lu Yanhe's dissolute life may also be a reflection of his true nature.
Next, He Lingchuan read the "Dafeng Side Examination" left by Lu Yanhe. This is basically a documentary literature left after his travels to various countries. It not only records the social outlook of Bailie, but also the customs and customs of the surrounding countries, and strange stories. It is detailed and meticulous, and can be used as a historical document.
But these are not what He Lingchuan wants to see.
Dong Rui was also disappointed: "What the hell, these trivial things are written on the gold paper worth fifty taels?"
What use is it to them right now? What use is it to them? Is it worth sending it all the way from Bailie to the Golden Plains and then to He Lingchuan?
He Lingchuan has been thinking: "Being a heretic means that this person is willing to do extraordinary things. And the first time Lu Yanhe went out to travel, he accidentally killed the grandson of a high-ranking official in the court. That person drowned several little girls in the suburbs just to amuse himself by watching them panic. So Lu Yanhe is still a bit chivalrous."
He quickly read the golden paper from beginning to end, and then turned a page to show Dong Rui: "Did you notice that there are too many blank spaces in this book?"
There are only two sentences on this page, and the rest is blank.
After turning the page, Lu Yanhe started writing the next thing.
After He Lingchuan said this, Dong Rui continued to flip through the pages. Sure enough, every few pages, he saw half-blank pages again. And a few pages after that, there was another...
"Is it so wasteful for this guy to use gold paper?" It seems that this prince is really rich. Dong Rui laughed and said, "What secret is hidden in this page? Don't keep us in suspense, tell us quickly!"
"I heard..." In fact, Master Sun not only said it, but also demonstrated it to him on the spot, "If you use special ink made of materials such as Xuanhu and Baizhu, the words written on gold paper will become invisible after the ink dries. It is also very easy to make it visible, all you need to do is-"
He snapped his fingers, and a small spark of red fire appeared at his fingertips.
These little magical powers are easy to come by.
Then he carefully brought the paper close to the flame and dried it carefully.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, line after line of small indigo characters slowly appeared on the blank space of the paper!
"really!"
Dong Rui exclaimed: "Lu Yanhe is a very capable guy. What kind of shady stuff is hidden in the book?"
If you remove the flame again, the words on the paper will slowly disappear after half a cup of tea.
Lu Yanhe used this method to preserve what he really wanted to write.
He Lingchuan lit a candle, found the blank pages of "Dafeng Cekao", and lit them one by one.
Almost every page was filled with tiny handwriting.
Dong Rui had a smile on his face, but as he watched, the smile disappeared.
"No wonder he used invisible ink to write the book. If he had written down these contents in plain text, the book would have been lost long ago, right? It would also implicate the Lu family." Dong Rui clicked his tongue twice, "He is a member of the Lu family. The Lu family has been serving Lingshan for three thousand years, yet they still produced a traitor like Lu Yanhe."
"The Lu family has always produced talented people. Talented people all have tempers." He Lingchuan flipped through the family history again, "Lu Yanhe saw everything, so he was unrestrained. But he was unwilling to let the truth be buried by history, so he wrote this hidden book."
In just a few words, it was a bloody history. And every blank page on the golden paper was filled with such paragraphs.
This was before Bega showed up.
Lu Yanhe did not come to any conclusion, but just sorted out the historical materials he knew and heard. These events were full of conquests and bloodshed, most of which occurred around the Bailie Kingdom, and some of them were inside stories that he knew because of his special identity.
The Medieval period was so important, but there are very few historical books left. Lu Yanhe's notes are extremely precious.
He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked through it carefully and found that the most prominent feature of the area around Bailie in the Middle Ages, or the location of today's Bega, was "chaos".
Of course, the world has always been in chaos, but the "chaos" in the Middle Ages was mainly reflected in the intersection and collision of the three forces of immortals, demons, and humans.
The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth at this time had not yet been exhausted like in later generations, but it was far from meeting the needs of the immortals. In order to save spiritual energy, practitioners at this time no longer used flying spells; the immortals usually hid themselves, but commanded their subordinates to collect and compete for resources.
The fewer the resources, the more intense the competition. This is an eternal truth.
Therefore, the relationship between the immortal sect and the mortals became increasingly tense. According to the records of Lu Yanhe, Kuai State was a small country, but a rich black crystal mine with huge reserves was suddenly discovered in the country. After the immortal sect "Hunyuan Sect" learned about it, it "sought to buy" from Kuai State three times, but the purchase conditions were no different from robbery. At this time, the strength of the immortal sect was far less than that of the ancient and early medieval times, and its deterrent power to the human country was greatly reduced, so Kuai State naturally refused. Hunyuan Sect then destroyed Kuai State, occupied the black crystal mine and mountain and river resources, and the people were demoted to clan slaves, and were driven like cattle and horses.
Eight hundred miles from here, another lone immortal attacked the city in the middle of the night and took the blood of 200 children to refine. Especially children under three years old still have some innate spiritual energy, which is just right for baking pills. Lu Yanhe later found out that this guy had been injured and fled in the fight before, and he didn't have enough elixirs, so he set his sights on living people. Mortals have very little spiritual energy, but at this time, it's better than nothing, so the lone immortal can only make do.
During the same period, the Immortal Sect was also capturing the demon clan on a large scale.
He Lingchuan knew that after the catastrophe, the contradictions between the immortals and the demons intensified due to the instigation of the demons, and the battle lasted for hundreds of years. The demons had already suffered heavy losses in the ancient war, and the great demons either fell or were seriously injured. There were not many left in the world, and they became even weaker in the Middle Ages.
The claws, teeth, fur, and horns of monsters are all raw materials for refining weapons, and their inner elixir, blood, and flesh are rich in spiritual energy, which is needed by the immortal sect. Moreover, the monsters are scattered by nature and have a loose structure. They either live in groups or walk alone. They rarely gather in large numbers like humans, which makes it easier for the immortal sect to defeat them one by one.
Lu Yanhe has counted that during the Dafeng era, the Bailie Kingdom took action to "punish" domestic and surrounding monsters 137 times, all on the grounds that they harmed the people and hindered farming. In fact, there were a large number of monsters that were harmless to humans. For example, the Yuye Deer Monster clan, which possessed the blood of ancient spiritual deer, moved from a foreign land to Yinyun Mountain next to Bailie, but was surrounded and suppressed by Bailie twice only three years later. The reason was that they destroyed the royal medicinal fields, devoured natural treasures, and kicked to death the princes and nobles of Bailie.
The deer herd dyed the forest bloody. There were originally more than 300 deer monsters of all sizes in the tribe, but in the end only ten escaped.
But Lu Yanhe, who was a member of the Bailie royal family, knew that these deer monsters had never set foot in Bailie, and had not even left the mountains. It was only because their antlers and sac pills had special effects that they were favored by the immortals and suffered this catastrophe.
After all, people are greedy for their bodies.
