Chapter 56: Projection

Many experts watched the live broadcast, their hearts shaken, feeling incredibly conflicted.

Li Yangji was also shocked: "I guarantee, this is absolutely not a short film I filmed beforehand."

Hearing Li Yangji's words, the others fell silent one after another.

Naturally, they knew there was no need for Li Yangji to film such a short film to fool them.

There was no need, and no time.

In the image, Heize was still practicing the Spear, sweat pouring down like rain; blood had already appeared on his hands, yet he was still gripping the Spear.

Everyone watched this scene, deeply moved.

"Should we discuss now, what exactly... is the principle behind this?"

"I suspect the world is playing a joke on me, or I haven't woken up yet."

"I feel I shouldn't have come to the Dahuang Mountain Range, I shouldn't have participated in this investigation of the Dahuang Mountain Range incident."

The scene before their eyes was simply too subversive.

These experts were all specialists in their respective fields.

They possessed a great deal of knowledge and understood even more clearly what this scene before them meant.

"If we set aside reality and make a bold conjecture?"

At this moment, Liu Chengchao spoke, his voice carrying a strange tone.

"Setting aside the facts, then what is there to talk about?"

"Stop arguing, there must be something here we don't understand, or it's a blind spot in our knowledge."

"Have you heard the story of the Fenglan Temple Fair?" Just then, one expert brought it up.

Among them, quite a few experts' eyes brightened slightly.

"Everyone should know that Fenglan was a small country in our nation's ancient times, located amidst the desert.

This country has long since perished, disappearing into the dust of history.

However, from ancient times to the present, many books have recorded that people have seen the Fenglan Ancient Kingdom holding a temple fair in the Alan Desert.

Even one of my students, who specializes in history, went to the Alan Desert once and swore to me that he also saw the Fenglan Temple Fair.

If I didn't know him, I would have wanted to send him to a mental hospital."

Mentioning the Fenglan Temple Fair, the experts present all frowned.

The Fenglan Temple Fair is also one of the unsolved mysteries of the Daxia world.

People often see the long-destroyed Fenglan Ancient Kingdom in the Alan Desert, with many young men and women dressed in finery, wearing deer antlers, dancing at the temple fair.

Some have even filmed these scenes.

Once, when some films were being shot, they even used that footage to showcase the Fenglan style.

"You mean, the image we are seeing now might be the same principle as the Fenglan Temple Fair?" Li Yangji asked.

"Yes. We humans have always said we have conquered nature and understood the mysteries of the universe.

But in reality, we cannot even fully understand a single stone.

It is normal for things we cannot understand to appear in this world.

This only shows that our science and technology... are not yet sufficient.

Some speculate that the appearance of the Fenglan Temple Fair is a segment of projection that leaked out when space and time overlapped under some special gravitational force.

We might as well guess that the scene before us follows the same principle as the Fenglan Temple Fair." This expert remained calm.

The other experts nodded: "Seconded."

"Right, perhaps the scene here is the same as the projection of the Fenglan Temple Fair.

What we are seeing now might be... the life of Heize."

In any case, they had convinced themselves first.

Mentioning Heize, the people present were very excited.

"If it's true, we might really be able to uncover the truth of how Heize destroyed the Wolf Guard back then."

Everyone felt excited inside.

Perhaps this projection would play for decades.

But to them, every extra second was precious material.

Through these images, they could better understand past history and understand the ancestors of Daxia.

For them, it was definitely a joyous occasion.

However, the next second, their expressions varied.

"This projection seems as if it has been edited," one expert said.

The Heize before their eyes had just been practicing the Spear, but then the sky suddenly went dark, only to brighten again in an instant.

This caused these experts to overlook many details.

However, after the screen had been playing for six or seven minutes, they had roughly summarized a lot of information.

"Heize indeed comes from the Tiejiang Pu discovered in the Dahuang Mountain Range; his father was a blacksmith, and his mother was killed by the Wolf Guard.

He is currently apprenticing under a military officer."

"Heize is still young, yet he performs this Spear technique quite well," one expert judged. "I suspect he might even be able to beat an adult now."

"He can not only beat an adult, I suspect he is just like an adult.

Look at Heize, at this height and build, he's probably seven or eight years old, but the way he looks at Liu Guafu, who is washing clothes, is a bit off."

Hearing this expert's words, the experts present all laughed a little awkwardly.

Discovering small problems or interesting anecdotes about historical figures was a pleasure for them.

This also allowed them to clearly establish a well-rounded model of the ancient person.

"During the Great Feng period, one could take a wife and have children at eleven years old.

If a seven-year-old likes a widow, that shouldn't be a problem, right?

When you were young, didn't you ever have a crush on anyone?"

"Ahem."

These experts had relaxed by now, and the atmosphere on the scene was no longer so rigid.

The tear stains on Miss Jia's face vanished; she looked at Liu Guafu on the screen with an unreadable expression.

At this moment, Li Yangji looked toward Miss Jia.

"Miss Jia, the letter that Heize left for the ancestors of the Jia Family once mentioned Liu Guafu and Feng Taihou.

It seems this charming woman before us is that very Liu Guafu."

Liu Chengchao also nodded, feeling a strange sensation.

This feeling was like flipping through childhood photos and discovering a little girl in the background of a picture.

This little girl just happened to be your girlfriend or wife.

Such a marvelous feeling.

Miss Jia nodded: "More or less."

She did not say anything more, watching the screen intently with a sense of nostalgia.

"Heize."

"Liu Guafu is married?" Many experts were quite moved upon seeing this scene.

At night, one could see a youth practicing the Spear incessantly, not sleeping for the entire night.

The scene skipped forward rapidly; Heize practiced the Spear constantly, and his stature grew taller and straighter, becoming more and more like the person in Miss Jia's memory.

"Heize is indeed very strong, but it's not exaggerated.

Being able to defeat six or seven adults shouldn't be a problem.

It seems Heize is just an Ordinary person, not some so-called superman," one expert offered their opinion.

Based on Heize's current performance, he also gets hungry, sleepy, and tired.

His willpower is very strong, and his strength is greater than an average person's, but it still appears to be within the realm of humanity.

In the scene, inside the house.

The man coughed incessantly: "Heize... you are already eleven years old."

"Foster father." Heize stood below, his gaze carrying a trace of determination.

"I was once a friend in the army with the Gun King Liu Tou; I see you have a talent for practicing the Spear, so why not go and learn the Spear from Liu Tou?

I will write a letter, and you shall head to the capital... ahem."

"Many thanks, foster father." Heize cupped his fists together, "I will surely return after mastering it and slaughter the entire Wolf Tribe!"
