The passage of time in the real world and the Time Fragment are different. The sky in the Time Fragment is still foggy, and the black clouds have not completely dispersed.
The feeling of shock coming from the soul only increased, as if there were countless mountains pressing down on Ye Qin's body. No matter how advanced his cultivation was, it was useless against the feeling of the soul.
Ye Qin felt exhausted as never before, and his originally emerald green eyes became slightly dim, even the scales on his body.
After resting for a while, he recovered slightly.
This calamity came so suddenly that Ye Qin had no preparation. Fortunately, this time it was in the passage of time. If it were in the real world, he didn't know what kind of turmoil it would cause.
The long river of time once again set off huge waves, and the shock of this wave was particularly obvious. The surrounding scenery gradually became blurred, as if a pair of invisible hands were slowly wiping everything.
When Ye Qin opened his eyes again, he had returned to reality, and what he saw was the somewhat dim Empress Temple.
Someone's voice seemed to be heard not far away, and it was getting closer and closer to his place.
"Everything is normal at the construction site. The foreman said that the repairs at the Empress Temple must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, so as not to displease the gods."
"The things are ready. Professor Zhang specifically reminded that the things in the temple should be kept as they are to the greatest extent possible. It is best to send special personnel to maintain them."
"Don't worry, I have already informed the workers. They are working carefully and there will never be any trouble."
"We can't afford it if we make the gods angry again."
The few people walked away while discussing, and no one noticed a dark green shadow in the dark corner, fleeting like a ghost.
Ye Qin quickly left the Empress Temple to prevent others from discovering him. When he went out, he discovered that there were many workers near the gate.
"It seems that I stayed in the Mottled Years segment for an extra long time this time. It seems that a lot of things happened in the outside world."
From the previous fight against the faceless man, to the later discussion with Zhang Boduan, and then to the trip to Yangzhou, and then back to Shangqing Temple to survive the disaster, Ye Qin felt as if he had been separated from another world.
At the same time, he also discovered that he seemed to be damaged, with a few conspicuous marks on his blue scales.
Ye Qin guessed that the reason for the disaster in the mottled years was also reflected in the real world, but fortunately the problem was not big.
He walked around and discovered that there was a large construction site nearby. After some inquiring, he finally knew the cause and effect of the matter.
It turned out that the government wanted to build large buildings here and expropriate nearby land, so the Niangniang Temple was also within the scope of demolition. However, I never thought that many strange things happened during the demolition of the temple, and in the end the matter was ignored.
At that time, Ye Qin was still in the time segment, and the strange things in reality could be vaguely related to the time segment.
"Is it because of me?"
Ye Qin was thoughtful.
There are fragments of mottled years here in the Empress Temple. After Ye Qin entered, he realized the breakthrough realm and gave him an opportunity invisibly, which can be regarded as the cause.
The government wants to build new buildings, and the Niangniang Temple is within the scope of demolition. Who would have thought that Ye Qin's breakthrough would lead to disaster, and the real world would also be affected.
As a result, the Empress Temple displayed miraculous features. The tornado was the result of disaster, the snakes were attracted by Ye Qin, and the lack of electricity was due to a breakthrough. These were regarded by everyone as manifestations of the gods, and the original demolition plan was abandoned. Preserved for repairs, this is the fruit of Ye Qin's gift.
Causes and conditions meet and come into being in harmony. All of these are conditions and complete cause and effect.
Ye Qin was filled with emotion in his heart. The links between them are the complete Tao. This may be the charm of the Tao. It seems invisible, but in fact it is countless and absent, as if it has been arranged.
An inadvertent move may change the direction of the whole thing. Many things may seem accidental, but they are inevitable. Cultivation in the world is also a journey of spiritual experience.
Ye Qin's mood relaxed again and moved up a small level.
At this moment, a familiar pressure enveloped him again, but it was not as obvious as before.
Ye Qin slowly raised his head, seeing the wind and clouds in the sky, and the black clouds that came from unknown time shrouded him, as if they were pregnant with something.
Only the place where he was was experiencing such an abnormal situation. There was a dark cloud above his head. Looking into the distance, the sun was still shining brightly and the weather was clear.
Ye Qin released his mental power perception, but it was like an unfathomable black hole, mixed with thunderous power, swallowing up his mental power in an instant.
"What a powerful force."
Ye Qin quickly cut off the connection with his spiritual power, and almost even he was affected. Even so, he was still frightened.
Different from the previous calamity, this was a more terrifying force than the calamity, making Ye Qin's soul tremble.
But what is strange is that this power is not obvious. To be precise, it has not been completely condensed, but Ye Qin can be sure that it is directed at him.
"Is this a catastrophe? It's finally coming!"
It was just an ordinary calamity before. Strictly speaking, it was not a real calamity. It was just a deterrent from heaven and earth.
Now that Ye Qin has cultivated to the realm of Yuanshen, it can be said that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, so it is not surprising that a natural disaster will occur.
This also corresponds to Ye Qin's previous speculation. The reason why Qi Dan and Jin Dan were not born in a calamity is probably because they are preparing for this calamity!
Ye Qin looked at the black clouds above. He tried it. Wherever he went, the black clouds followed him with precise positioning.
There were no other abnormalities. It was estimated that the catastrophe would not come for a while. Because he needed to condense, he was given time to prepare.
Ye Qin had already been prepared for the arrival of this day. After all, he had experienced many disasters before.
Now that he finally had to face it, Ye Qin was even more relieved, because it was better than waiting in fear every day.
But when the disaster was approaching, he still needed to go to the research center. Ye Qin did not forget his original purpose of coming to Kyoto, to see what the ancient bronze sword was about.
Ye Qin moved towards the research center. As he moved, the black clouds above his head were also moving, as if they had a life of their own. Perhaps there was still the will of heaven and earth in it.
Since this place is not far from the construction site and the Empress Temple, many people noticed the black cloud in the sky.
I couldn't help but think of the dust devil from before, my heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly felt like I was facing a formidable enemy.
The foreman's expression was as if he were mourning for his heir, "Haven't we already protected the Empress Temple and hired special personnel to repair it? Aren't the gods satisfied yet?"
If there is another dust devil, none of them can bear it, and the entire construction site will be paralyzed again.
Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, the black cloud was getting farther and farther away and was not moving towards them.
The workers breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't blame them for being dissatisfied. It was because they learned too much from the last time.
With this happening, the construction team worked even harder and did not dare to be lazy, lest they displease the gods again.
Not only the construction team, but also the unusual celestial phenomena quickly attracted the attention of Kyoto citizens.
It is normal for the clouds to move, but they move so frequently and the black clouds are so conspicuous that it is difficult for people to ignore them. After all, the weather forecast shows that it will be sunny these days.
And the sky is indeed blue, but this black patch is really abrupt, as if there is a patch on the blue sky.
For this reason, netizens soon posted discussions.
"It's so strange. I was passing by Chaobei District today and the weather suddenly changed. I thought it was going to rain, but the sun came out soon. When I looked at the sky again, I saw a black cloud floating past. It was just like a joke."
"I think I've seen the black cloud you mentioned before. I was hurriedly gathering my clothes at home, but the black cloud didn't even bother to stop, and immediately rushed to the south."
"I've seen it too. It's really strange. Can the meteorological observatory come out and explain the reason for this weather? It was said to be sunny, but there is an extra dark cloud."
"This dark cloud looks like it's alive. Sometimes it goes this way, sometimes it goes that way, and sometimes it even circles around, leaving me confused."
"The supervisor asked me why I wasn't at work and why I was leaning against the window to watch something. Then he has been watching it with me for an hour now..."
Above the blue sky and white clouds, this black cloud looked unique. It looked like it was going to rain. However, not a drop of rain fell. It moved southward from Kyoto towards the northern district, as if it had some purpose.
The meteorological observatory also conducted special research, but did not get any useful clues.
Although everyone was surprised, the black cloud did not have any major impact on their lives. They were in peace with each other and simply did not pay too much attention to it.
After all, the black clouds don't stay for long and will move soon, making it a unique landscape.
At this time, after the workers worked overnight, the appearance of the Empress Temple has been repaired. Even the red walls have been repainted, and all the missing tiles on the eaves have been replaced, giving it a completely new look.
Because of its age, the cultural relics inside need to be maintained and cleaned, which the workers cannot do and can only ask professionals to help.
In the recent series of events, the people above did not dare to neglect, and directly invited the most authoritative personnel, that is, people from the Kyoto Research Center to come and help.
Logically speaking, a place like the Niangniang Temple is not large in scale, and there are not many valuable cultural relics inside, so just ask ordinary cultural relic maintenance personnel to come over.
Asking people from the research center to take action feels like overkill.
Professor Song An was also a little surprised when he received this notice.
After all, all his attention is currently on the ancient bronze sword, but it doesn't matter what he said. In addition, the Empress Temple is not far away from Kyoto, and it will take up to a whole day to maintain it, so it doesn't hurt.
Soon, he led the staff and tools to Beiding Niangniang Temple and began to repair and maintain cultural relics.
On the way, people at the research center were a little puzzled, "The restoration of cultural relics here is not difficult, and it's not particularly valuable. Why do we need to come here?"
"There are no clues about the ancient bronze sword yet, and I'm not in the mood."
Professor Song didn’t know the reason for this. There was no detailed explanation above, so he told everyone: “Since you are here, you should do the things at hand well. You have to rely on the leaders above for future funding. .”
After hearing this, everyone couldn't say anything else.
The changes in the Empress Temple have also attracted the attention of many people. Although it is not in a prosperous area of the city, people still pass by.
It is said that a man relies on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. Now that it has been renovated, the red walls and gray tiles are shimmering under the sunlight. Coupled with the quaint atmosphere of the whole body, it looks like that. It is very He soon attracted the attention of several young people passing by.
"When I passed by it a few weeks ago, it looked a little dilapidated. I heard it was going to be demolished. Why is it being repainted now?"
When Uncle Wang, who was guarding the temple, heard this, he showed a mysterious smile, "That's because the gods in the temple showed signs."
Several passers-by clearly expressed disbelief, "Uncle, please stop teasing us. If the gods really showed signs, the threshold here would have been broken by people long ago. I don't think many people would go in to worship."
Uncle Wang shook his head, his eyes full of respect.
"You don't understand this. The government wants to build a new Eagle's Nest next to it. It was originally going to be demolished, but something strange happened during the demolition. So the government gave up on the original decision and chose to protect it."
Indeed, I heard that the government is planning to build new buildings here to target the large-scale international events that will be held in a few years. Many people have already learned about this.
Seeing that what Uncle Wang said was true and didn't seem to be groundless, several people also became interested, "Uncle, tell us what the strange thing is."
"Previously, all the flowers near the temple were in bloom, and then a dust devil blew, causing heavy damage to the surrounding areas. However, the Empress Temple was fine. A snake nest was discovered at the construction site later, and there was an inexplicable power outage."
Everyone had heard about the previous dust devils. After all, they had not appeared in Kyoto for decades, but they did not expect that there was such a reason.
"I remembered that the dust devil reported earlier did appear in Chaobei District."
The report at the time was not too detailed and did not mention anything about the Empress Temple. Few people knew about it, so the matter did not go viral.
Several people had expressions of surprise and uncertainty, and then they realized that there was such an inside story in the dust devil, but what Uncle Wang said was so mysterious that it was hard for people to believe it for a while.
"Uncle, are you kidding me? It's not as magical as you say."
Uncle Wang's expression became serious, "How can such a thing be a joke? If you don't believe it, ask the workers at the nearby construction site. When these strange things happened, they were so scared that they stopped working."
Several people looked at each other, and they all saw the look of astonishment on each other's faces.
The cultural relics were almost restored, and Professor Song and others happened to be walking out. They happened to hear Uncle Wang's conversation, and their hearts suddenly felt a little rippled.
They couldn't believe it or not, after all, they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
"I didn't expect something like this to happen in the Empress Temple. No wonder the superiors asked us to come and repair it ourselves."
At this moment, I saw Uncle Wang clasping his hands together and bowing towards the temple, "All of this is thanks to the blessings of the gods in the temple."
Seeing Professor Song coming, Uncle Wang stopped by and asked, "Professor Song, you are a learned person and you specialize in archeology. You said that this Empress Temple is so old, there must be a story, right?"
Professor Song was thoughtful, as if he had thought of something, and replied: "Listening to what you said, I thought of the story about the predecessor of the Niangniang Temple."
Hearing this, everyone was a little strange and couldn't help but ask: "The predecessor of the Empress Temple? Is there any explanation in this?"
Professor Song explained: “The predecessor of Beiding Niangniang Temple was actually a land temple.”
"The original Earth Temple was ordinary, but it is said that one day, Master Ziyang traveled here and gained enlightenment, which added extraordinary color to it."
Professor Song saw that everyone was confused and obviously didn't know much about this Ziyang master, so he explained:
"Speaking of Ziyang Zhenren, his background is relatively big. His original name was Zhang Boduan, nicknamed Uncle Ping, and his nickname was Ziyang. He was a master of inner alchemy in the Northern Song Dynasty.
He advocated the use of inner elixir as the way to cultivate immortality, and the "double cultivation of life and life" as the main purpose of inner training. He also advocated the "unification of three religions" and tried to integrate the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism with the Taoist theory of cultivating life.
He is revered as the "Ancestor of the Southern Sect" by Quanzhen Taoism, and together with Xinglin Cuixuan Zhenren Shi Tai, Daoguang Zixian Zhenren Xue Shi, Niwan Cuixu Zhenren Chen Nan and Qiongxuan Zixu Zhenren Bai Yuchan, they are regarded as "the ancestors of the Southern Sect" by Quanzhen Taoism. The fifth ancestor of the Southern Sect."
It also left many classics for later generations, which effectively promoted the development of Taoism in Daxia and can be said to have far-reaching influence.
The "Wuzhen Pian" he left behind and the "Book of Changes Can Tongqi" written by Wei Boyang in the Han Dynasty are both known as the "King of Alchemy Classics". "
Having said this, Professor Song paused, looked at the Niangniang Temple in front of him and sighed: "The reason why Ziyang Zhenren was able to write the "Enlightenment of Truth" was because he received some kind of inspiration in Tutu Temple.
Because the time is too long, there is no clear information from later generations, and there are no detailed records, so this point cannot be studied for the time being, but one thing worth confirming is that Ziyang Zhenren once traveled here in the early days.
However, later, because Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty made a wish and his mother built a Niangniang Temple here to thank God for gifting the prince, the original Tutu Temple was replaced by the Niangniang Temple on the Beiding. This period of history has also been lost in the long river of time.
Therefore, this Empress Temple and Ziyang Zhenren are quite closely related. "
After hearing Professor Song's science popularization, everyone looked suddenly enlightened. They did not expect that there was such a connection.
Several young people were a little confused, "Professor, but this has nothing to do with the strange things that happened before. The Tutu Temple and Zhenren Ziyang are all things in ancient times."
Professor Song did not answer their question directly, but his eyes fell on Uncle Wang, "Did you say before that when the temple was demolished, all the flowers inside and around the temple bloomed?"
Uncle Wang nodded repeatedly and became interested when he mentioned this, "Yes, yes, besides me, all the workers and nearby residents saw it."
Professor Song is really knowledgeable, and he can quote scriptures for everything, and he can pick it up at will, "Actually, I can find an allusion to this matter.
It is said that in ancient times, when Ziyang Zhenren passed through Yangzhou, he discussed Taoism with others, and then agreed to travel to Yangzhou together and bring flowers. And this allusion is quite similar to the weird thing you said.
But this is just a legend, and it will never be verified by future generations. Just listen to it as a story. "
Professor Song smiled and led the people from the research center away, leaving behind the thoughtful Uncle Wang and several young people.
These young people also like to surf the Internet, and soon published today's experience on the Internet.
The heat of the dust devil has not yet subsided. After learning that the Niangniang Temple was intact during the storm, not to mention that there were so many strange things afterward, the theory of divine manifestations became rampant.
"I just said that the dust devil was weird. It turned out to be the demolition of the temple, which triggered the wrath of the gods."
"Can you please not listen to the wind and rain? Meteorological experts have said it. This kind of situation is rare, but it still exists."
"Then let the experts explain why the Empress Temple was in the center of the storm, but the excavation was not damaged. More than 40 workers were injured at the construction site next door."
"I've heard of the Empress Temple before, but it's not very famous. I didn't expect it to be so magical. It seems I have to make time to pay my respects."
"I think it's not so much the appearance of gods as it is because of Zhang Boduan, who is the famous Taoist Priest Ziyang, the founder of the Southern Sect!"
"Zhenzi Yang, the character who punishes evil and promotes good in Journey to the West, is based on him!"
"I also admire Taoist Master Ziyang. His "Enlightenment of Truth" is an epoch-making work in the history of Taoism in Daxia, and is known as the ancestor of the Eternal Alchemy Scripture!"
Originally, everyone was talking about the Empress Temple, but somehow it gradually shifted to Zhang Boduan. It got out of hand, attracting more netizens to discuss it, and even put Zhang Boduan's name on the hot search for a time.
Netizens who didn't know the truth looked at it and thought it was some little fresh meat that bought the hot search. When they clicked on it, they found out that it was a famous Taoist figure.
The power of netizens is vast, and they quickly revealed Zhang Boduan's life, which can be said to be full of ups and downs.
He was smart and eager to learn since he was a child. When he was older, he served as an official in Taizhou. Because of the burden, he was relegated to Lingnan and embarked on the road of visiting Taoism and cultivating immortals. Later, he moved out of the mountains and moved to Qinlong to practice in Hanyin Mountain. In his later years, he returned to Taizhou, lived in Tongbai Mountain, worshiped Taoism, and taught Taoism widely. Disciple, died in Baibu River.
However, some netizens discovered something very interesting, that is, about Zhang Boduan's "wandering mind".
The netizen published this article immediately, and it immediately attracted countless likes from netizens.
[Historical data records this:
Because Zhang Boduan received the guidance of a famous teacher and practiced diligently on his own, his alchemy skills became more and more advanced. Later, he met a friend by chance, who was able to fall into trance and spend hundreds of miles in harmony.
The two of them met to see flowers in Yangzhou, and proposed that they each break a flower as a memorial. Ziyang and this fellow Taoist then entered a quiet room together, sat down with their eyes closed, and fell into a state of concentration.
When Zhang Ziyang's soul arrived at Qionghua Temple in Yangzhou, the Taoist friend's soul had already arrived first. The spirits of the two people circled the flower three times around the viewing area. Ziyang suddenly said, "Let's each break a flower as a reminder." So we each broke a flower and returned.
After a little leaning, Ziyang and that person both felt that they were short of stretch. Ziyang asked: "Where is the Taoist friend Qionghua?" That Taoist friend had nothing in his sleeves, but Zhang Ziyang took out the Qionghua from his sleeve and handed it to the Taoist friend to play with. 】
After reading this story about a famous Taoist figure in ancient times, many netizens started talking in the comment area.
"This must be a fake. How could he really be traveling in a spirit? He even traveled to the ancient city of Yangzhou. Isn't he undoubtedly a god?"
"I also think it's fake. You can just treat it as a fairy tale."
"I don't know if it's true or not, but there is another version!"
It has been too long ago, not to mention whether Zhang Boduan is really magical and can travel thousands of miles. However, with the continuous exploration and exploration of netizens, they found that there is another version of this story.
And the story recorded in this version is even more magical!
In this version, Zhang Boduan did discuss Taoism with others, but the person who brought back flowers was not himself, but the person who discussed Taoism with him.
And what this person brought back was not just one flower, but the flowers in the entire Yangzhou city!
On that day, the entire Yangzhou lost its color!
Such a magical story is naturally more bizarre and sounds even more incredible.
For this purpose, this netizen even went to the place where the ancient Yangzhou City was located, which is now Anyang City, and looked through ancient books and history books at that time, and actually found relevant records.
Historical data says:
[Yangzhou flowers are in great bloom, and everyone comes to take advantage of the excitement. Suddenly there was no shadow all night, and someone said: This is the magic trick of the gods.]
A few words showed that there was indeed a disappearance of flowers in the city at that time, and it was also at the same time as Zhang Boduan, and it became an unsolved case at the time.
It's a pity that there is no record in the official history. After all, Daxia has thousands of years of history. It has a vast land and abundant resources. There are too many things happening in various places, and there is no way to record them.
However, in local unofficial history, there is such a folk tale circulating, but it has gradually been lost in modern times, and only a few sentences can be found in countless documents.
Netizens quickly posted what they found online.
And he is the 'Qi Xueqing' who previously revealed the story of "Carving a Boat and Seeking a Sword"!
He was also the first to bring up the existence of historical doubts!
Now, this historical suspicion has spread to Zhang Boduan again!
"Why are you the boss again? Please accept my knee."
"I was searching for a sword before. Good guy, this time I actually reached out to Taoist Priest Ziyang. I'm not afraid of people coming to seek revenge."
"It turns out that there was someone else who brought the flowers back, not Taoist Priest Ziyang. Who was that person? With such great ability, he emptied all the flowers from ancient Yangzhou City."
"Although what you said before is very reasonable, I don't think it can be concluded based on these alone. Don't believe it blindly. You still need to rely on real evidence."
"I think you are all confused by Taoist Priest Ziyang's filter. What if the historical records are wrong? Anyway, I don't believe in the theory of wandering spirits."
"You said there was someone else who brought the flowers. Then tell me who it is. I think you are just trying to impress others."
People on the Internet are divided into two groups. One group does not believe it and thinks that such a famous figure like Zhang Boduan could have errors in historical records.
The other group felt that what Qi Xueqing said was very reasonable, and the two sides quarreled over it.
There are even people who admire Zhang Boduan and think that Qi Xueqing is an insult. They go to his private messages or comment area to spit out sweet things, and it is difficult to look directly at the words.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Qi Xueqing threw out a lot of the contents and evidence he had investigated, leaving only one sentence without explaining too much.
[Everyone has different opinions. I am explaining this not to attract people’s attention, nor to make myself famous. It is just to let everyone see the truth of history. It does not mean that I am disrespecting Taoist Ziyang. 】
This sentence was liked and forwarded by many netizens, who all expressed their support for Qi Xueqing.
"That's great. The blogger just wants to restore the truth. What's wrong with him? Some Internet trolls are really enough."
"Although I admire Taoist Priest Ziyang very much, I think the blogger is right. The keyboard warrior is submissive in real life, but he is aggressive on the Internet."
"Blogger supports you. I have been following you since the time when I carved a boat and asked for a sword. I think what you said is very reasonable. Restoring the historical truth is the only way to respect Taoist Ziyang."
The evidence and materials cited by Qi Xueqing all prove that there is indeed another version of Zhang Boduan's theory of "spirit wandering", so that more and more netizens have switched sides and chosen to believe what he said.
After all, the facts are before us.
But no one knows who is discussing with Zhang Boduan and who is so capable of clearing out all the flowers in Yangzhou City, or maybe this is just a coincidence.
The mystery of the missing flowers in Yangzhou has not been revealed, whether in ancient Yangzhou City a thousand years ago or in time and space a thousand years later, and we don’t know what the truth is.
No one in the past could study it, let alone that after thousands of years, things in the world have already changed.
No one is sure whether there were really strange people at that time who could make the flowers disappear overnight.
But one thing they can be sure of is that Zhang Boduan's theory of divine wandering is not as recorded in historical materials. Just like the story of carving a boat to seek a sword, there is a layer of historical doubts vaguely covering it, waiting for the world's exploration and discovery.
Qi Xueqing has now discovered two stories that are different from the historical records.
They are the previous theory of carving a boat to seek a sword, and the current theory of wandering in the spirit.
He integrated these two historical events and published a special topic called:
[Historical Mists and Strange Tales Series]
Nowadays, the popularity of the theory of wandering gods has not passed. Carving a boat and seeking a sword has been mentioned again. The collision of the two has triggered many discussions among netizens and attracted many like-minded people.
Qi Xueqing: "I found that there are many secrets and weird places in the history we know today. I publish these things just to clear away the fog, restore the truth of history, and let everyone see a more authentic history."
Many netizens expressed their agreement and felt that Qi Xueqing's move was very meaningful.
"Not necessarily all the things and records left by predecessors are correct. I support the blogger's behavior."
"Suddenly the situation was completely opened up, okay? This kind of real science popularization is what we want, not some empty expert talk."
"Blogger must continue this series. I think it is quite interesting. The language is easy to understand and very interesting. Even a scumbag like me can understand it."
"If our history teacher had taught in this way during the history class, I wouldn't have failed the history class."
"Historical weird stories, I like them."
“It’s terrifying to think about it!”
As soon as this column was published, many netizens liked and supported it.
Seeing so many people silently supporting and encouraging him, Qi Xueqing also expressed that he was quite motivated.
Qi Xueqing: "Don't worry, I will continue to update this series. I will find more related historical doubts and foggy events in the future, and post them for discussion with everyone. Of course, everyone can share what they have. After all, one person's Strength is thin.”
…
Kyoto Research Center.
After dealing with the matters at the Empress Temple, everyone turned their attention back to the ancient bronze sword.
The ancient sword has become a thorn in the hearts of Professor Song and others. Unfortunately, they walked around outside and couldn't get any clues about the ancient sword.
Finally, I plan to hand this matter over to professionals.
Professor Song pondered for a moment, "If the police can't handle it, we can only ask them to come over."
749 is the best at handling this kind of special incident. After receiving the call for help from the research center, it immediately dispatched personnel to deal with it.
"Hello Professor Song, my name is Wang Xuehao. I hope you can introduce the basic situation to me in detail."
Coincidentally, it was Wang Xuehao, Xu Tiancheng, Yao Ruotong and others who were responsible for handling this case.
Professor Song took them to the place where the ancient bronze sword was originally stored.
"The ancient sword was lost here. There were no fingerprints or traces left at the scene. Even the police said that this was a perfect secret room crime."
The security system of the research center is very complete and did not cause any alarm at that time. It can be said that it is extremely difficult for outsiders to commit crimes.
If the crime was committed internally, no suspicious persons were found after thorough investigation by the police.
Wang Xuehao seemed to have thought of something, "What about the surveillance? Did the surveillance capture any images?"
Professor Song showed a wry smile, "It's strange to say that the surveillance did not capture the theft of the ancient bronze sword. Suddenly, heavy fog arose, blocking the picture. When the fog dissipated, the ancient bronze sword disappeared. .”
Xu Tiancheng subconsciously blurted out, "Why is it fog again!"
They couldn't help but think of the case they had contacted before - the Longyuan Mountain incident!
Fog has been mentioned many times here!
Professor Song was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xu Tiancheng to have such a big reaction, "What's wrong? Is there anything special about this mist?"
Xu Tiancheng shook his head, "Nothing."
He just said it casually, thinking it was a coincidence, but he didn't connect the two things together.
After all, one is in the foggy city and the other is in Kyoto, so there is nothing that can be done about it.
Although the surveillance video was useless, the people from Bureau 749 still watched it carefully. As Professor Song said, everything was fine up front.
In the early morning, fog began to appear, blocking the video screen. When the fog dissipated, the ancient bronze sword also disappeared.
"It has been tested and there are no traces of editing and synthesis in the video footage. The police later tested the air and did not detect anything. I don't know where the fog came from."
Professor Song took out the previous police report and some information, and handed them all to Wang Xuehao.
"We have tried our best, but can't find any clues about the ancient bronze sword. The ancient sword is of great significance to us. I hope Captain Wang can help us find it."
Wang Xuehao didn't know much about history. From his point of view, the disappearance of an ancient bronze sword was not worth the effort of the people at the research center.
After all, there are too many cultural relics in the research center. In comparison, it seems that the ancient bronze sword is nothing.
"I would like to ask, why does Professor Song value this ancient sword so much?"
"The ancient bronze sword itself may not be important, but it has a great meaning behind it. This is our ultimate goal of exploration. We found its existence in the ancient temple on the riverbed, and it is closely related to the famous Zhidun monk. "
After listening to Professor Song tell the ins and outs of the matter, the people in the 749th Bureau also had a good idea. This is also a good starting point.
"Tiancheng, start with Zhidun and find out all the relevant information."
"Ruotong, please take another look at the confessions recorded by the police before, and launch an investigation into the people in the research center to see if there are any traces of any suspicious behavior in their follow-up."
"Xiao Zhang, pretend to be a buyer and go investigate the cultural relic smuggling organizations to see if they have received ancient bronze swords recently."
After receiving Wang Xuehao's instructions, everyone quickly began to get busy.
Although this case is not as difficult as before, the difficulty is not low.
There are currently no useful clues, so they must continue to dig along the clues, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
According to the information mentioned by Professor Song and the police, Wang Xuehao continued to analyze, but as of now, he still has no clue.
Soon, news came back from Xu Tiancheng and Yao Ruotong, but there was no gain for the time being.
Since this incident was related to historical relics, they investigated a large amount of relevant information.
Xu Tiancheng looked at the books that were thicker than turning around and sighed heavily, "Captain Wang, you might as well let me go out and catch the bad guys. Reading these books makes my head hurt."
Yao Ruotong's patience was pretty good. With a quick glance, she said thoughtfully, "Do you still remember the historical fog in Carving a Boat and Seeking a Sword?"
Xu Tiancheng didn't understand why she suddenly asked this, "Remember, is there any connection between the two?"
Yao Ruotong gently tapped his head with the book, and said helplessly: "I think you are really crazy about reading. The ancient bronze sword came from Kezhou Qiujian. The person who talked to the old man at that time did not have detailed records in later generations."
"As for Zhidu, there is also no record of the person who discussed Taoism with him. This is very interesting. Then the sword fell into Zhidu's hands. Do you think there is any connection between this?"
Xu Tiancheng's expression suddenly became speechless, and he asked knowingly, "What's the connection?"
Yao Ruotong thought thoughtfully and said: "Could the mysterious man who talked to the old man in "Curving the Boat and Seeking the Sword" be the same person as the mysterious master who discussed the Tao?
It was he who took away the ancient sword that fell in the river and gave it to Zhi Dun a hundred years later..."
