Chapter 43 Section 42: Secrets of China

Ling Ning's annoyance didn't last long, and soon, Tang Mei's face showed fear because of a "buzzing" sound similar to that of a bee flapping its wings. "Okay, okay, since you insist on treating gold inlaid jade as copper-clad iron, I don't care about it with you. How about this, you should know the saying of Huaxia?" "Nonsense!" This time, even William had the right to despise him. "So, do you know what Huaxia is? Don't talk to me about the beauty of the clothes, it is called Hua; the etiquette is great, so it is called Xia." Those useless, I will only tell you that the word Huaxia contains shocking secret."

"If you continue to play tricks like this, there are some things you can't hide from!" Chu Feng's idle words made Tang Mo's face change. "Well, let me make a long story short, 'Huaxia' originally meant 'glorious Xia people'. It is clearly written in "Shuowen" that 'Xia' refers to Chinese people. Then there are 'Zhuxia' in our literature The concept, it is not a synonym for 'Huaxia', but it means 'a lot of China'. Then, you should think about what happened in the past, right?" Tang Mo said that only Chu Feng understood a little bit, and everyone else Is confused.

"You mean, at the beginning of the formation of the Huaxia tribe, there were many tribesmen living in 'China', and they all called themselves 'Chinese'?" . "That's right! Back then there was a recognized center of the world. Because it was in the middle, it was called 'China'. People of different races, languages, and even skin colors living here all called themselves 'Chinese' In fact, this Sima family also hinted in the "Historical Records", he said: The Huns are the descendants of the ancestors of the Xia Dynasty. This shows that in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties in today's Chinese history, their rulers are probably not Not like us."

"Aren't the Huns of Mongolian race?" William was surprised. "They have all kinds of races, including yellow races and white races. The Xia Dynasty was replaced by the Shang Dynasty. The Xia was a tribe from the northwest, while the Shang was a tribe from the east. Archeology today proves that the Shang are all in Zhengzhou, and their ancestors From the Northeast. The later Chinese descendants always thought that the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, that is, the Central Plains, was the center of the world, so they always regarded the people who lived here as the orthodox "Chinese". In fact, in ancient times, that is what you said In the period of mythology, 'China' was not in this place."

"Where is that?" Although Ling Ning hated this person very much, he was attracted by what he said. "In 'Kunlun'!" Tang Mei rolled his eyes, making several other people have the urge to come forward and beat him up. "Do you know where 'Kunlun' is?" Chu Feng asked suspiciously. "I know a general idea." Tang Mei was not polite, "'Kunlun' is actually 'Kunlong', which was recognized as the center of the earth at that time. Think about it, if the ancients did not have the knowledge of great navigation, the center of the earth is actually equivalent to The center of Asia, or the center of Eurasia. Where would it be?"

"So, the place we've been looking for is actually not far from us?" Chu Feng listened thoughtfully. "That's right, isn't there an Asian center in the suburbs of Urumqi?" William interjected. "If it is the center of the Eurasian continent, it should be near the Black Sea." Ling Ning also pondered. "Well, even if the concept of geography in ancient times is different from that of today, it should be similar. Then, the region of 'China' you mentioned in ancient times should actually be in today's Central Asia including Xinjiang, right!" Chu Feng combined the two People draw conclusions.

"That's right, you've been wandering around this land, you won't get anything." Tang Mo was anxious just now, but now he suddenly became calm again. Chu Feng noticed this immediately: "What? Are you not in a hurry?" "I just figured it out!" The smile on Tang Mei's face was a bit bitter at this time, "In this world, you are probably the person who understands this formation best. Since you have not been in a hurry, I am afraid you already have a way to deal with it. As long as I follow you, why not go out?" "I'm glad you have such an awareness, but..." Chu Feng smiled slightly, but he gasped and lifted Tang Mo's heart into the air.

"But what?" "But you have done a lot of bad things to my teammates before. I think if your sincerity is not enough, they will not welcome you." A strange look suddenly appeared on Chu Feng's face, and Tang Mei immediately heard it The "buzzing" sound close at hand. At this time the sound was very loud, and everyone heard it.As soon as Ling Ning heard it, he immediately awakened the nightmare memory of being swallowed by the monster: "What is this?" "A mutated bee!" Tang Mei rushed to answer, "It's as big as a pigeon egg, black, and very ferocious!"

"It seems that you have suffered from them." Chu Feng still looked like an old god. "Uh." Tang Mei was a little embarrassed at the beginning, and then he admitted very simply, "Yes, I first arrived at the Southwest Xun position, and the high platform was not dangerous except for the strong wind. But then I entered the dark side from the sunny side At that time, I met these big black bees, they were too many, and they were very big, and their tails were very poisonous. In order to get rid of them, I almost tried my best, but they still kept up." "So, you attracted them?" Ling Ning's complexion immediately turned ugly, as if a storm was about to come.

"Don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive!" Tang Mei is probably a believer in "a man can bend and stretch", and immediately humiliated and smiled.But Ling Ning still looked angry. Chu Feng thought about it for a while, and decided to cooperate with Tang Mo for the time being. However, what he spit out was not satisfactory to him, and this guy still needs to squeeze a little more. "Okay, okay, now we have to let go of the previous grievances and help each other for the time being. These big black bees don't matter right now, they won't come in, as long as we are in this temple, there will be no danger. Finish your sentence." Chu Feng raised his hand to stop Ling Ning from making trouble for Tang Mo, and nodded at Tang Mo.

"Uh, okay." Tang Mei was overjoyed when he knew that he would no longer be stung by the big black bee, and then his face collapsed when he heard Chu Feng's pressing question.He entered this place long before Chu Feng and others, and suffered more.At this moment, although he knew that he would not be in danger for the time being, but if he was asked to enter the battle alone, he would not dare to kill him. "Okay, then I'll make a long story short. According to the information handed down from my family secrets, in ancient times, there was a center of the world, no matter white, yellow, black or neither white nor black. All civilizations originated here. At that time, there may have been humans in other parts of the world, but their level of civilization was far inferior to that of the people in this 'China' region." "But this place did not exist from the very beginning. Its appearance stemmed from a catastrophe. After that disaster, all the surviving races on the continent came to this place. After accepting the inheritance of civilization here, Later, it was gradually dispersed to various places. That is to say, in a certain period, there was a birthplace of civilization with the same origin in the world, and all people in that era spoke the same language." "My God!" Ling Ning covered his mouth and exclaimed, "So, what my uncle and grandpa conjectured actually existed! The ancestral home of world civilization and the 'Elegant Language' really existed!" "Your uncle?" Tang Mo turned to Ling Ning, "Then he is very good. He can guess this under the illusion of being heavily concealed. He is much better than those pedantic guys. However, even if he has such I am afraid that I will not be able to find a trace of evidence in my life." "Do you have evidence?" Even Chu Feng was moved this time. "Of course, every one of our families of 'inheriting the number of days' has evidence. This evidence was preserved by our ancestors desperately, and it is also evidence to prove their innocence. Although the inheritance of 'number of days' is very weird, There is no guarantee that it will reappear in the blood of the inheritor, but those who have received the inheritance of the "number of days" will understand some secrets that others do not know, and most of them will record these secrets and tell their blood relatives." Tang Mei said here, but No matter what, he refused to continue talking about this topic, "What is this evidence, I can't tell you even if I die. This is the top secret of our family. So it's useless for you to force me." The impatient Ling Ning was so angry that he really wanted to perform a set of "Ten Manchu Tortures" on Tang Mo, but it was a pity that Chu Feng stopped him.Chu Feng felt that what he said was true. Although he recovered the inheritance memory that was force-fed into his mind by his father before he was twelve years old, some basic things were far from Tang Mei, who has a complete family. There are many inheritors.For this reason, he doesn't want to tear himself apart with Tang Mo now. "Then how many families like yours that have maintained a complete inheritance like yours?" Chu Feng felt that it was necessary to clarify this issue. "I don't know much about this, but I heard from the old guys in the clan that there are at least two or three more, and one of them arrived in Europe more than a thousand years ago." Tang Mei narrowed his eyes slightly. "Europe? Well, according to what you say, this should be normal. If the world's civilization all originated from the same ancestral homeland, then the later 'inheritors of the sky' should also come from different races. Today's inheritance families It should be available on all continents." Chu Feng was a little surprised at first, but then nodded slightly by himself. "That's the way it is supposed to be! But..." Tang Mei said with an inexplicable smile, "After all these years, many families have been destroyed, and even if they haven't been destroyed, the inheritance has been interrupted! For example, the Sima family." Jedi Heaven After Tong', Chong and Li were the first to master this secret for the king, and the Sima clan was the queen of Chong and Li. In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to eunuch Sima Qian not because he said a good word to Li Ling, but because To break his family's inheritance!" "Hey, what you said really cleared up my doubts. As I said, when I read that period of history, I always felt that it didn't make sense. How much failure did Sima Qian have to be a human being to even have the idea of ​​'redemption money'?" I couldn’t get it out, and I became a eunuch forcibly! When I read this history, I still couldn’t understand it.” William smacked his lips.He has been trying to supplement his knowledge of Chinese history for a while, and just saw this passage a few days ago, and when he couldn't understand it, someone told him that the secret was coming, which made him full of energy all of a sudden. "So, it turns out that Sima Qian was executed because he was found out as the person who passed on the number of days?" Sangbu was dumbfounded when he heard such a theory that subverted traditional cognition. "Of course!" Tang Mei looked down on his unseen appearance. "What about the other families?" In comparison, Chu Feng was the calmest one. "This... let's start from the beginning. According to Sima's records, there are fourteen people who pass on the number of heavens. The earliest Chong and Li are said to be under the command of Emperor Zhuanxu. I won't talk about this. Their inheritance, because The Sima family courted death and was exposed to the most ambitious emperor at that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che. The inheritance was broken long ago; in the Yao and Shun period, it was Xi and He. These two guys, some myths say that they are the same person, and it is said that they left behind. A mysterious tribe who didn't know where to hide as savages; in the Xia Dynasty, Kunwu inherited the "number of days", but his inheritance is said to have not been left to his son, but to his most beloved little brother - Ji Lian, this Ji Lian His descendants later established the state of Chu; during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Wu Xian became the "Pastor of the Numbers of the Heavens", and his descendants were always talking about the gods and gods, and the inheritance should be left behind, but they never entered the world, so it was very difficult to find; , "The ones who pass on the number of days" are Shi Yi and Chang Hong. One of them is a disciple of Lao Tzu. Later, Lao Tzu rode a bull out of Hangu Pass, and the inheritance of this branch was suspected to have flowed into the Western Regions; , Yin Gao, Shi Shen, and Tang Mei, the ancestors of my family, appeared not too far apart in the same age. My ancestors have gone through many wars and tried their best to keep the inheritance. I don't know." Tang Mei explained everything Chu Feng wanted to know in one breath. "Are you really ignorant or do you have reservations?" Chu Feng doubted his sincerity. "Just now you mentioned that there is a family inheritance in Europe, but now you can't explain it clearly, don't you know?" "Oh, you said that. That aristocratic family is the Aurel family, a thousand-year-old European family. Their family has had frequent contacts with the elders of my family's outer sect in recent decades, but his family is the descendant of Kunwu, and has not received the help from Kunwu. The inheritance of 'number of days', so they have always wanted to get back what belongs to them for thousands of years." Tang Mo curled his lips, as if he had some disdain for the Aurel family. "Well, even if what you said is the truth, then I have one more important question to ask you." Chu Feng straightened his face and put on a very cautious expression. "What? You ask!" "In the end—what is the 'number of days'?" As soon as Chu Feng uttered this question, he saw a very strange look on Tang Mei's face, half a smile, half a cry, his mouth opened, as if he was dying. Like a fish, after opening and closing a few times, there was no warning, and he fell straight to the ground. "Ah? He's dead!" William, who squatted down to catch his breath, raised his head and said, his face full of panic.
