79: The sorcerer is ugly! The fisherman back then!
“No way, the true reason for the fall of the Qin Dynasty was because Jianghu sorcerers plundered the Dragon Vein of the Qinling Mountains?”
“I don’t see any difference in the Qinling Mountains today, do you?”
“Upstairs, watch your words, it’s sorcerers, not Jianghu sorcerers!”
“Is there a difference?”
“Yes!”
“Next, please welcome thePopular Science!”
...“However, if the historical truth is that the sorcerers plundered the Great Qin’s fortune, and Qin Shi Huang killed the sorcerers and burned books related to them, then Qin Shi Huang doesn’t seem so bad!”
“I never said Qin Shi Huang was bad!”
“He unified the world and ended the wars!”
“What a great monarch he was!”
“The greatest monarch in Huaxia, bar none!”
“...”
“By the way, did Wuming, the sword smith, also guard the Dragon Vein?”
“What was his rank?”
“...”
“I am Li Yulin, a historian from Dragon Country. Professor Li Xiangzhe and I are good friends. Young friend Wu Tian, would it be possible to find some evidence in the Peach Blossom Garden that proves the historical truth of that year?”
“This is crucial for us to perfect the history of Dragon Country.”
“Thank you!”
“Greatly appreciated!”
【Qin History Professor Li Yulin has activated the Emperor status in the room!】
【Li Yulin sent a gift: Super Rocket X1!】
“...”
“Li Yulin: I heard activating Emperor status allows red bullet comments, hehe!”
...While the Fans in the live broadcast room were discussing frantically, all shocked by the truth of that year, and even Professor Li Yulin had sent a request to Wu Tian to collect information... The Faceless Man, who was halfway through his story, was interrupted by Zhang Meng next to him!
The latter frowned.
“Wait...”
“You said...”
“These sorcerers discovered this Peach Blossom Garden more than ten years later?”
“Yes!”
The sorcerer nodded.
“Then this isn’t right...”
Zhang Meng bit her nails, looking puzzled.
“In historical records, the closest mention of the Peach Blossom Garden to the Qin Dynasty was several hundred years later, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. How could another group of people have entered the Peach Blossom Garden more than ten years later?”
“...”
“Hehe...”
The Faceless Man chuckled softly.
“Miss, at that time, it was a group of sorcerers who entered the Peach Blossom Garden, and they were a group of sorcerers carrying the Great Qin Dragon Vein!”
“You say...”
“How could historical records possibly contain such a thing?”
“Besides...”
The Faceless Man’s voice carried a hint of mockery.
“I know about the records from the Eastern Jin Dynasty; it was mentioned in a piece called ‘the peach blossom spring’ written by that young fellow named Tao Yuanming, wasn’t it?”
“...”
“Young fellow?”
Wu Tian twitched his lips.
“Isn’t he just a young fellow?”
The Faceless Man’s tone carried a faint sense of superiority.
“This old man is from the Qin era; Tao Yuanming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is just a young fellow in my eyes, isn’t he?”
“Oh... hehe?”
Wu Tian gave a cold laugh.
“Then what are we, two thousand years later, in your eyes?”
“...”
Drops of cold sweat ran down the Faceless Man’s pale face.
“Also young fellows?”
“No... no...”
“You are masters...”
“You are masters!”
“Hmm...”
Only then did Wu Tian nod in satisfaction.
“That’s more like it. You continue, damn it...”
“I let you speak a few sentences, and you started acting superior, you son of a bitch!”
The Faceless Man: ... “Cough, cough...”
Coughing lightly with a ventriloquist voice to mask his embarrassment, the Faceless Man continued to speak to Wu Tian and the other two.
“Speaking of Mr. Tao Yuanming’s ‘the peach blossom spring’, this actually involves a huge variable from over a thousand years ago!”
Seeing Wu Tian’s murderous expression.
The Faceless Man quickly corrected himself.
“Tell us!”
...After a short period of worry and discomfort, the thirty-odd sorcerers who had settled down, compelled by external pressure... eventually made their home in the Peach Blossom Garden.
Initially, the Villagers and sorcerers got along very well.
The sorcerers would teach the children to read and write, exercise, and even take in some talented children as disciples!
They taught them alchemy and sorcery!
Two classes that were completely different on the outside, and would never have intersected... quickly integrated into this Peach Blossom Garden!
Days passed one by one.
Although during the day, this group of sorcerers acted very normally, working from sunrise to sunset like the Villagers, and cooking meals every day.
And spanking children on rainy days.
These things all seemed fine.
But... whenever night fell and everything was quiet, this group of sorcerers would gather in a secret place within the Peach Blossom Garden to jointly study the Dragon Vein they had locked away!
It was just that the power of the Dragon Vein was too immense.
Even this group of the world’s top sorcerers could only barely seal it!
Trying to draw power from it... was nothing short of a fool’s dream!
Even if these thirty-odd top sorcerers spent their entire lives researching, they couldn't find any method of extracting energy!
Finally, in the long river of time.
These sorcerers died one by one with regrets, leaving the Dragon Vein still sealed!
Buried in the endless years of the Peach Blossom Garden!
...“They just died like that?”
Zhang Meng frowned.
“Of course not...”
The Faceless Man sneered!
“These sorcerers were naturally unwilling to guard a treasure mountain without being able to enter it. They actually found a way for their souls not to return to Mount Tai after death, and used the excuse of repaying the Villagers for their kindness in taking them in.”
“They also helped these Villagers share eternal life!”
“Their only goal was to absorb their soul power to suppress and attempt to subdue the Dragon Vein!”
Bang!
“Beasts!”
Zhang Meng slammed her fist on the ground.
Her face flushed red as she said.
“The Villagers kindly took them in, but they repaid kindness with enmity, imprisoning the Villagers’ souls!”
“This is truly a bestial act!”
“...”
“Of course they are beasts!”
Since the Faceless Man had already said everything that should and shouldn’t be said, he no longer feared retaliation from the person in the shadows.
So, the Faceless Man spoke openly!
“These sorcerers not only committed such heinous acts, but what they did next was even more outrageous and unforgivable!”
“Unacceptable by heavenly law!”
...Having obtained the longed-for rebirth, these sorcerers were exceptionally joyful!
They were so fanatical that before they could even celebrate.
They immediately plunged back into researching the Dragon Vein!
They brutally abused, flogged, tormented, and inhumanely tortured the souls of these Villagers!
When the Villagers were tormented to their limit, and their bodies emitted a strong aura of resentment... these sorcerers would extract this resentment!
To suppress the restless Dragon Vein!
Initially, this method worked well, and the sorcerers all thought they saw hope!
But... good times didn’t last long!
The number of Villagers was limited after all, and under their high-intensity torment, many Villagers’ souls could no longer withstand such destruction and turned to dust!
Their research fell into a deadlock!
It was at this moment... during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a Fisherman stumbled in by accident!
