The opening chapter of "Zongmen Daguo Lun" explains Shen Hao's confusion. It made him understand what the image of Tianxia Sect was in the eyes of those in power in the Jingji Dynasty.
The word "steal" is quite the essence. It also sets the tone for the entire book.
The book talks about the bond between the sect and the dynasty, from history to reality, from military affairs to people's livelihood, and even talks about the cornerstone of the dynasty's rule. An idea must be expressed in all aspects, that is: the sect does more harm than good to the country and should be weakened as much as possible until its demise.
To put it simply, in the eyes of the people in power of the Jing Dynasty represented in this book, the sect is actually similar to the barbarians in the south. If they can be destroyed, it is best to destroy them. If they cannot be destroyed, then weaken them and use blunt force to suppress them. Cutting flesh with a knife can one day solve this serious problem!
Could this view be one of them? Do you have any other views on the sect?
Soon Shen Hao flipped through four similar books. Although the words in them were different in importance, the views were surprisingly consistent. Even one of the classics was written by a royal family member. I remember that the name Shen Hao was a very famous academic master in the royal family. His views should be solidly representative of the royal family, right?
"No wonder Yang Xiusheng always gives people a malicious feeling towards the sect. So it turns out that this is not just Yang Xiusheng, but this has always been the case?"
Of course, it has always been the case that not everyone hates the sect, which can also explain why Fenghong Villa did not bother to pay attention to the sect before. Maybe the late Emperor Yang Jian didn't take the sect seriously? Or maybe the current situation is different, so the idea will change?
After all, the barbarians in the south are basically beaten to death now, and within the sea, they can only focus on themselves, and the big head of the sect is particularly eye-catching.
In addition to these classics expressing thoughts, there are also many historical records about the Jingjiu Dynasty from scratch. Almost all are secrets in details unknown to the public.
For example, the Yang family was actually well prepared before the rise of power. They were making adjustments based on the changes in the situation in the Jing Dynasty. They were not "forced to have no choice but to support the building before it collapsed" as the outside world said. In fact, it was premeditated.
Another example is the changes in the barbarian strategies made by the emperors of the Jingjiu Dynasty. This has also been compiled and analyzed by someone.
Of course, although these things are interesting, they are not what Shen Hao pays most attention to. He was still as interested as when he was on the Ten Thousand Books Mountain. He was not interested in the history of this world itself, but the covered up history related to the black beast tattoo on his body, which belonged to the three strong men and the evil beasts.
This period of history that Shen Hao was interested in found a book called "Special Place" on Wanjuanshu Mountain and got an overview of it. But in the Royal Library, he saw more detailed content than what was described in "Special Place".
Whether it is "Darkness" or "The Year of Collapse", or even "The Evil in the World" is much more detailed than "A Strange Place".
The essence of "Special Place" is to explain what a special place brings to the world, both good and bad. The three books above that exist in the Royal Library focus on evil beasts. From the appearance of evil beasts to their disappearance, as well as various anecdotes in between that are verified or heard from hearsay.
These contents filled in many gaps in Shen Hao's mind about the period when the evil beasts were raging.
According to the book "Darkness". Evil beasts are extremely powerful when they appear, and there is no concept of lurking or lurking. As soon as they came out, there was a wave of blood and killing everywhere. From the wild beasts in the mountains, to the people in the villages and towns, to the monks of the sect, and the mighty soldiers in the army, they are all within the range of the evil beasts.
Moreover, the evil beast has the terrifying ability to devour. The more it kills, the more energy it can devour and transform to feed itself back, becoming more and more powerful. This point is mentioned in three books, and among them, "The Most Evil in the World" also clearly states: At the beginning, the evil beasts were not able to fight against an array of tens of thousands of people, and the soldiers would avoid them wherever they went. There were also Xuanhai Realm monks who formed a combined attack technique to encircle and suppress them, but the evil beasts also avoided fighting. After two months of raging and raging, they became even more tyrannical before they could no longer resist...
In other words, the evil beast becomes very powerful as soon as it emerges from the special place. But it is not "invincible". When facing a huge military formation of tens of thousands, it can only avoid its wind. When encountering groups of Xuanhai realm monks who were grouped together in a combined attack formation, they also chose to avoid them.
This filled most of the blanks in Shen Hao's mind regarding the strength of the evil beast. At the same time, we also understood the reason why the evil beast was able to trigger a world-destroying crisis in the end: devouring it.
Devouring, these two words are undoubtedly what Shen Hao can most associate with the dots on the black beast tattoo on his chest, and they can also be associated with the evil monks. Even Shen Hao felt that he could wear these two words now.
"If you look back...the source of everything about "swallowing" seems to be a special place? Whether it is evil beasts or evil monks.
I’m really curious about the origin of this strange place? Who left the things brought from the special place? What kind of existence did the evil beast look like in its original place..."
Content continues. Speaking of which, it has only been two months since the evil beast was born, and it has already formed an unstoppable trend. No matter whether it was the military formation of the Jing Dynasty at that time or the monks alliance between sects and sects, they were no longer opponents of those evil beasts. It often only takes a day or two for a first-class sect to collapse and be completely destroyed.
To use a sentence from "The Year of Collapse": Those at the ninth level of the Xuanhai Realm are nothing more than enemies of the three evil beasts...
Seeing this, Shen Hao also confirmed his previous guess, that is, the reason why the evil beast is invincible and has the potential to destroy the world is because its strength surpasses the Xuanhai realm.
Creation realm? Evil beast?
These three books are the most targeted records of the hidden history that Shen Hao found in the Royal Library. It was very detailed and opened up Shen Hao's understanding.
It also mentioned the three monks from evil backgrounds who finally ended the "Evil Beast Chaos". It was these three people who finally relied on devouring to become extremely powerful, and finally fought against the evil beasts on the evil sea and ended the era that almost destroyed the world.
The "Special Place" I saw in Ten Thousand Books Mountain described these three people very vaguely. The process and results are all mentioned in one stroke.
In the Royal Library, Shen Hao found the names of these three people: Bai Wu, Qing Chi, and Lang San.
And these three people all come from an evil sect called "Remnant Soul Sect".
Shen Hao went out of his way to check the latest sect directory in Xuanqing Guard, and found that the name "Remnant Soul Sect" did not exist. Even going forward, this sect has not been seen since the founding of the old Jing Dynasty. In other words, this sect died out as early as the Jing Dynasty.
However, Shen Hao always muttered about the three words "Remnant Soul Sect". He was sure that he must have seen this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while...
