Chapter 8: The Heize of History

Led by the person who had come to meet them, Liu Chengchao, Wang Jiao, and the others headed inside.

Although it was already night, the area was exceptionally bright and well-lit under the glow of numerous lamps.

A professional smile remained on Wang Jiao's face, though they were still some distance away from the ruins.

Naturally, she would not let this livestream become dull.

"Elder Liu, there is a rumor circulating on the internet right now.

This Wolf Guard is said to be the one that invaded the Dafeng Dynasty and then mysteriously disappeared; is that correct?"

Liu Chengchao pondered and said, "The chain of evidence is currently incomplete, but my personal speculation—representing only my own opinion—is that there is a sixty percent chance it is that Wolf Guard."

"According to records, this Wolf Guard consisted of over ten thousand people.

How were they wiped out?"

Many people speculate that the Great Demon Heize, mentioned on the stone tablet, led an army to wipe out the Wolf King here.

It is said that this Heize was a general of the Dafeng Dynasty; as for this Heize, we laymen do not know much.

It is said that your team, Elder Liu, has conducted quite a bit of research into the identity of Heize.

Is this Heize really a general of the Dafeng Dynasty?

Does Heize truly exist?"

Wang Jiao asked her questions.

At this moment, several thousand people had already entered the livestream room.

These people were mostly history enthusiasts.

They were very concerned about matters regarding the Dahuang Mountain Range.

After all, this was an event that changed history.

Unfortunately, there was almost no news about Heize in historical records.

"Is Heize fake?"

"I suspect the two things are unrelated and are being forced together."

"Who knows?"

Others.

"Heize..." Liu Chengchao sighed, "During the reign of the Feng Ling Emperor, there were no records whatsoever regarding Heize.

However, the surname 'Hei' did appear once in the historical records of that period."

"Oh? What was it?"

"This book, titled *Compendium of Materia Medica*, mentions a military officer who suffered an external injury, and a blacksmith with the surname Hei provided a new type of herb to apply, which cured the officer."

"These two things seem to have no connection at all."

"The surname Hei is inherently a rare surname; there were not many people with the surname Hei at that time.

Especially among famous figures, there were no people with the surname Hei at all."

"Could it be that the figure of Heize truly does not exist in history?" Wang Jiao asked at the appropriate moment.

"It seems there is one." Liu Chengchao hesitated for a moment.

Wang Jiao's eyes lit up: "What is recorded?"

"*Shibei County Records* once recorded that the County Magistrate went on an excursion and encountered a Feather-Clad Fairy; he was very pleased and stepped forward, but the fairy drifted away on the waves, calling out the two characters 'Heize'.

The following year, auspicious omens descended upon Shibei County, and the government was harmonious and the people were at peace." Liu Chengchao still spoke these words.

In ancient times, people loved to write about immortals.

If a legend of an immortal appeared in a place, it indicated that the place was governed well, and even immortals were willing to appear.

"If I remember correctly, there was no title of 'County Magistrate' during the Dafeng Dynasty, right?" Wang Jiao immediately asked the key question.

"Indeed." Liu Chengchao nodded, "This book records the era of the Li Wu Emperor of the Great Li Dynasty, which was four hundred years after the destruction of the Wolf Guard."

"What?" Wang Jiao was stunned.

This answer truly surprised her.

"The interesting thing is that Shibei County is the present-day Cangxi City."

Once these words were spoken, the breathing of everyone present hitched.

Could it be... that Heize really existed?

Why would the name be spoken by a so-called "fairy"?

"Also, wasn't it mentioned earlier that a blacksmith with the surname Hei used a plant called Yellow Mugwort Fruit to treat a military officer?

Finally, according to our comparison of various records, this military officer was actually also from Cangxi City." Liu Chengchao spoke slowly.

The surname Hei was a lowly surname in ancient times; today, there are fewer than a thousand people with the surname Hei in the entire country.

For the former Cangxi City to have had a blacksmith with the surname Hei was already very rare.

"This..." Wang Jiao was stunned; she was a bit confused.

This matter had become complicated.

"This matter now seems to reveal a Mythical quality."

Wang Jiao said to the camera.

"Ahead is a site of a dwelling; I hope it can provide some clues regarding the destruction of this Wolf Guard or the origins of Heize."

In the livestream room, some discussions also broke out.

Because, according to other records, there might truly be a miraculous figure named Heize with the surname Hei in present-day Cangxi City.

It was just that, according to what Liu Chengchao said, the time gap between the two records was too large.

Could it be that Heize had nothing to do with the destruction of the Wolf Guard?

But then, how to explain that mysterious stone tablet?

Everything about this revealed a fog of mystery.

At this moment, a barrage comment caught everyone's attention.

"If I remember correctly, the fuse for the final decline of the Wolf Tribe was when the Giant Wolf of the Wolf Tribe contracted the Blood Eye Disease.

And this time period happened to coincide with the era of the Ling Wu Emperor of the Great Li Dynasty.

Is it possible that the stone tablet is from the Great Li Dynasty era?

Could Heize actually be a physician who developed the Blood Eye Disease and infected all the Giant Wolf of the Wolf Tribe?"

There are also long barrage comments, though they only appear in a collapsed state.

One needs to click on them to see the full text.

Excellent long barrage comments will even appear in the comment section and be marked as featured.

Many people clicked on this long barrage comment, and they were stunned.

"Heize is not a general, but a physician?"

This was completely different from previous speculations.

Who exactly is Heize?

What is his true identity?

What kind of deep hatred does he have for the Wolf Tribe!

To be called a Great Demon!
