Chapter 35
Facing Little Wei Yuan's question, Feng Chutang nodded and said, "That's right, until today, the human race is still the top-grade sacrifice for the Wu Yu race to sacrifice to heaven, and at least one million people are captured every year for sacrifice. In ancient times, there were even more human sacrifices used for sacrifice. The Wu Yu race often captured people tribe by tribe, and then the whole tribe, old and young, sacrificed to heaven together, which is called Great Perfection. To prevent the Wu Yu race from capturing people to sacrifice to heaven, the Liao people and the Wu Yu race fought countless battles, big and small. The subsequent all-out war between the two races, the human race's affiliation is actually one of the reasons."
Including Little Wei Yuan, a group of young boys and girls were even more puzzled, and someone asked, "Then why did the human race lead the Wu Yu race army across the border to surround the rear of the Liao race?"
Feng Chutang said, "The specific reason for this matter is not recorded in historical materials, and I cannot speculate recklessly. I will tell you about the later results. If you are interested, you can check the relevant history books yourself."
Feng Chutang paused and said slowly, "After the Wu Yu race army crossed the border, the Liao race's eastern front legion was defeated. King Hanbei and King Yunshan died in battle, fifty thousand cavalry died in battle, and the number of wounded was countless. The Wu race army advanced thirty thousand miles straight, until two months later when they were blocked by the army transferred from the rear of the Liao race. This battle made the Wu race change from a slight disadvantage to a slight advantage. In the end, the war ended three years later, and the Liao race's national border retreated fifteen thousand miles. Half a year before the end of the war, a True Lord of the human race broke through the Heavenly Pass and achieved Return to Oneness. This is the first Tinghai Xianjun in our race's history."
The war between the Wu and Liao and the first Tinghai Xianjun of the human race, these two things were known to the children of aristocratic families, but they didn't know that there was still a connection between the two. Feng Chutang put the two historical facts together, and even Little Wei Yuan, who didn't know these two things, vaguely felt something.
The young boys and girls looked at each other and stopped talking. Just in terms of historical facts, the human race at that time seemed to be inseparable from the evaluation of helping the enemy and forgetting favors. But the appearance of the first Tinghai Xianjun was the beginning of the human race's founding.
Little Wei Yuan had a guess that the resources for the promotion of the first Tinghai Xianjun of the human race might have been obtained from the Wu Yu race.
This lesson reached here, and it was time for class to end.
Feng Chutang said, "If anyone is interested in this period of history, you can check it yourself after going back. However, these historical facts are scattered in different history books, and each book can only see a glimpse, and you need to read a certain amount to see it more clearly. Alright, today's class ends here. In the next round of classes, we will talk about the Wu Yu race. They have also been entangled with our race for more than twenty thousand years."
After listening to a lesson, Little Wei Yuan only felt that a corner of the world was quietly unfolding in front of him.
When the teaching ended, a thick stack of jade paper appeared on everyone's desk, at least ten pages. These jade papers were all history books recording ancient history, and each piece of paper was a book. These history books were specially selected by Feng Chutang for the students to read by themselves after going back.
It was just that when Little Wei Yuan left with the books, he was stopped by the duty Daoist, who then pressed his identity jade plate on the jade book, and a line of small characters appeared on the book: Heavenly Green Hall disciple Little Wei Yuan, owes sixty taels of book fees.
Little Wei Yuan was startled. Would these few books cost him half a year's monthly silver? Although it was owed for the time being, the immortal silver owed also had to be repaid! Little Wei Yuan wanted to return all these books, but others who were in the same class directly swiped their cards and left without hesitation, not even looking at the jade book.
After the classmates were almost all gone, Little Wei Yuan asked in a low voice, "May I ask, Daoist, can these books be returned?"
The Daoist was expressionless and said, "The waist plate has already been swiped, and it will not be returned! Besides, this is the homework assigned by the teacher, why not read it? If you just want to mix days, why come to the Primordial Palace?"
Little Wei Yuan was reprimanded by the Daoist and could only hold the books and leave sheepishly.
He observed his words and expressions, and had already discovered that Zhang Sheng was exceptionally generous in other places, but always hesitated when it came to immortal silver. So Little Wei Yuan guessed that his master might be short of money and always wanted to save him as much as possible.
Little Wei Yuan naturally knew the preciousness of the history books issued in class, but books were things that would be firmly remembered after reading them once, and it seemed unnecessary to buy them. It was just that the Daoist's hands were fast, and he had already swiped his identity waist plate before Little Wei Yuan could react.
Returning to the small courtyard, Little Wei Yuan picked up the small bottle containing the Qi-Drinking Pills and poured out the pills inside to count them.
The bottle of Qi-Drinking Pills issued was only enough for one month, and he would have to buy them himself if he wanted more. The importance of the Qi-Drinking Pill lies in its ability to enhance the mind, and not needing to eat is secondary. Little Wei Yuan picked up the sect entry guide and read it again, wanting to find some ways to make money. The manual said that the Dust Affairs Hall, which is in charge of miscellaneous affairs, would issue some tasks to low-rank disciples, and there would be rewards after completing the tasks, which was the main source of income for poor disciples to study in the Primordial Palace.
However, the tasks of the Dust Affairs Hall required disciples to have a certain cultivation, and at the very least, they had to complete the flesh and blood forging of the Body Forging realm. Now Little Wei Yuan did not have this ability, so he could only put it down.
In the afternoon, Little Wei Yuan read history books for a while, and continued to cultivate the "Jade Toad Gazing at the Moon Map" after nightfall. The cultivation this night was very stable, and the ground under the jade toad expanded again, reaching one zhang and two chi.
At dawn, Little Wei Yuan finished his cultivation, slept for an hour on the bed, and was full of energy, continuing to go to Qisi Hall for class.
The second day's course was Immortal Path Common Sense, which told the history of the immortal cultivation world, and the focus was different from the General History of the Human Race. The teacher was a middle-aged Daoist, with the Dao name Dixia, with an immortal style and extraordinary bearing.
After the class started, the Daoist reached out and drew, and a long scroll appeared in front of all the students. The front part of the scroll was scenes of drinking blood and fighting, the middle part was the longest, and immortal mountains and Dao realms began to appear, with several immortals traveling outside the sky. The back part of the scroll was mostly scenes of immortals gathering and fighting countless alien beasts.
The Daoist pointed his finger, and two scenes in the scroll were lit up, respectively, a person achieving the Dao and becoming an immortal in a simple mountain cave, and a scene of the Human King gathering a million troops to establish a dynasty. On the flag behind the Human King was the character "Li".
The entire history of human immortal cultivation takes the appearance of the first Tinghai Xianjun as the dividing point, distinguishing ancient and medieval times, and takes the first unified dynasty "Li" as the dividing point, distinguishing medieval and modern times. The dividing point between ancient and modern times is the establishment of the Great Tang and the appearance of the sect unified examination.
This first lesson of the opening chapter naturally talks about ancient times. At that time, the human race was mainly based on tribes, scattered in various places. Later, I don't know who found a strange book "Mending Heaven Scripture," and then there was the matter of cultivation. In this way, generations of cultivators cultivated while correcting the methods, and gradually the cultivation base became higher and higher, and the cultivation methods gradually strengthened. Because of the existence of cultivators, the status of the human race in the eyes of alien races also improved. If the human race was regarded as cattle and sheep before, then after having cultivators, it became a shepherd dog.
Just listening to a lesson, Little Wei Yuan felt that whether there were cultivators or not, the overall fate of the human race seemed to have no essential difference. After all, if the cattle and sheep were eaten up, the dogs and horses would have to top it.
