Chapter 5: The Surname Hei is a Lowly Surname

The people at the scene looked at each other.

Someone spoke up: "Time is too tight right now, and we haven't started a large-scale search yet."

After all, the name Heize was, to them, an insignificant name at the start.

There was simply no need to expend massive energy to look it up.

"I don't know about famous historical figures with the surname Hei, but I know a whole bunch with the surname Bai.

The Killing Demon and the Pastoral Poet Sage both have the surname Bai."

"If I remember correctly, the surname Hei was a lowly surname in ancient times. During the Warring States period, Qi Haigong had a prized horse named Black God.

At the time, Qi Haigong relied on this horse to win the championship in the lords' horse racing, and Qi Haigong was overjoyed, rewarding the fifteen grooms who served Black God with the surname Hei.

This is the origin of the surname Hei."

"Where was the surname Hei mainly distributed during the Dafeng Dynasty?" Liu Chengchao suddenly asked.

"It seems... in the north... which is present-day Tianbei Province!"

The people at the scene felt their spirits lift.

"Go quickly and compare the Dafeng territory map with the Daxia map."

A sense of urgency arose in everyone's hearts.

Very quickly, two electronic maps appeared, and everyone overlapped the two maps on the large screen.

An excited expression appeared on Liu Chengchao's face: "The surname Hei was distributed near the Dahuang Mountain Range!"

Everyone felt incomparably shocked.

It seemed that a major event had been buried by history, and now it was about to be unearthed by them!

"Go quickly and find out who Heize is!"

"Also, find out the famous people with the surname Hei from the Dafeng Dynasty!"

The people at the scene were incredibly shocked.

It was as if they were about to part the mists of history and reveal the true face of an unsolved historical mystery.

"Wait a few more days, and I can continue with the reincarnation simulation."

Lin Chao was eating takeout.

This time, reincarnating as Heize, the completion rate was quite high, and he received many rewards.

In terms of physique, plus money.

Now he could also be considered someone with nearly a million in savings.

So, he added an extra egg to the meal he ordered today.

"I have class this afternoon, time to go to class."

Lin Chao tidied up the trash on the dining table and walked out of the bedroom.

The school he attended was called Tianhai University, which could be considered the best university in Zhongnan Province.

However, compared to those top universities in the country, there was still quite a gap.

Walking out of the room and seeing the Sun again, Lin Chao felt his body and mind relax.

Now, his physical fitness was +1 in all aspects; he didn't know exactly how strong he was.

But, slapping his master from the last reincarnation simulation, the Gun King Liu Tou, to death would be no problem.

Getting on the bus, Lin Chao arrived at Tianhai University.

Looking at the tender white legs radiating youthful vitality, Lin Chao finally had the feeling of having returned to the modern city.

Although, after entering the reincarnation and returning to the world, his memories remained as they were before the reincarnation in the current world.

The story of the reincarnation felt more like a memory; thinking about it gave him a sense of the passage of time.

Lin Chao arrived in class; at this moment, quite a few students were already sitting in the classroom.

"Lin Chao, over here." Zhang Yiming waved at Lin Chao.

Zhang Yiming was Lin Chao's roommate, though Lin Chao later moved out to rent a place.

Lin Chao walked over.

"I brought your book for you." Zhang Yiming gave the book to Lin Chao.

"Thanks." Lin Chao sat down.

"Hey, Lin Chao, did you find a girlfriend? Why did you rent a place to live outside?" Zhang Yiming asked from the side.

"No, because it's quiet, better for studying." Lin Chao answered casually.

"Sigh..." Zhang Yiming sighed, "Brother, if I were as handsome as you, I'd find five girlfriends—one for each day from Monday to Friday, and rest on the weekends."

"Be careful, or I'll tell Li Ting." A faint smile appeared on Lin Chao's face.

Li Ting was Zhang Yiming's girlfriend; the two had been together since high school, and their relationship was very good.

"Don't, don't, don't." Zhang Yiming was scared; he winked and gestured, "Brother, you should find a girlfriend. You don't know how many girls have been asking about you through me. I even wanted to play matchmaker and earn a few more cups of milk tea money."

Lin Chao didn't speak.

"By the way, Lin Chao, do you know about the major murder case that happened recently?"

"Huh?" Lin Chao didn't know.

"It's the one that hit number one on the hot search.

Hundreds of skeletons were discovered in the Dahuang Mountain Range in Tianbei Province." Mentioning this, Zhang Yiming was very excited and also somewhat indignant, "Such a big thing, and the Law Enforcement Guard is still covering up the information; they really have no shame."

Chen Longxuan in front turned his head around.

"Didn't the experts already debunk the rumors? Those bodies aren't from recent years; they're from over a hundred years ago."

"You believe what the experts say? That bullshit expert said that because the climate there is dry and the environment is special, the skeletons have been preserved for a thousand years."

"Does he take me for a fool!"

"I never trust the experts!"

"If you don't trust the experts, who do you trust? Those trashy clickbait accounts?"

"I trust myself!"

Zhang Yiming and Chen Longxuan started to argue.

Lin Chao was unfazed; he opened his phone and checked the trending topics.

"Hundreds of skeletons discovered in the Dahuang Mountain Range."

"Major homicide case!"

"Law Enforcement Guard debunks rumors: the skeletons are over a thousand years old."

Lin Chao casually opened the photos, which showed only some simple skeletons.

"These skeletons..."

Lin Chao frowned, falling into deep thought.

Just then, Chen Longxuan in front suddenly spoke.

"Regarding these skeletons, I have some inside information; quite a few people already know."

"Don't lie to me!" Zhang Yiming said, dejected.

Clearly, the argument with Chen Longxuan just now had ended in his defeat.

"Remember when our class watched that movie together, the one called 'Hero'?"

"I remember." Zhang Yiming nodded immediately. "That movie was so ridiculous. One guy charges straight into the Wolf Tribe's enemy lines and ends up running off with that high official's daughter. It was supposed to be a proper martial arts drama, but it turned into a romance."

"That movie was over-marketed. It had five or six points of quality, yet it still managed to pull in seven or eight hundred million at the box office."

Lin Chao was slightly stunned; he had not seen this movie.

However, from Zhang Yiming's words, he roughly understood the plot of the film.

Martial arts plus romance.

"In 'Hero', you remember the famous Wolf Guard, right?" Chen Longxuan said mysteriously.

"I remember." A look of excitement appeared on Zhang Yiming's face. "Trashy Dafeng Dynasty, getting beaten down by the Wolf Guard! If it were me up there, one 'Q', one 'W', the Wolf Guard wouldn't be worth a damn!"

"Back then, if that unit of the Wolf Guard hadn't mysteriously disappeared, the Dafeng Dynasty would have been destroyed." Chen Longxuan sighed. He looked up and saw Lin Chao looking dazed. "Lin Chao, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Lin Chao's furrowed brows relaxed as he thought of something.

In the reincarnation simulation, he, as Heize, had single-handedly blocked the Wolf Guard invading Dafeng.

This...

If he remembered correctly, in history, the Wolf Tribe had indeed invaded Dafeng, but because their main force, the Wolf Guard, had vanished, Dafeng had managed to survive.

Could it be...

"The Wolf Guard was very strong; one could say they were invincible across the world at that time."

"It's a pity that when they invaded Dafeng, that unit of the Wolf Guard mysteriously disappeared."

"Rumor has it that those skeletons in the Dahuang Mountain Range are that very unit of the Wolf Guard."

As he spoke, Chen Longxuan secretly took out his phone.

"Look, this is what my friend sent me."
