"evidence?"
"Listen to me carefully."
A smile appeared on Bai Yu's lips, and she spoke seriously.
Just about a day ago.
After hearing Yong Zhou from the leader for the first time in the study, Bai Yu sent a message to his cronies, asking them to go to major libraries to check all the information about Yong Zhou. Maybe there would be traces of Yong Zhou's existence in those ancient books.
This investigation is bound to take a while. After all, browsing and searching through a vast sea of ancient books is never a simple and easy task.
After that, because the leader showed various miracles, Bai Yu completely believed in the existence of Yong Zhou and chose to join.
Originally, she had forgotten the confidant she sent to the library to investigate ancient books.
But just last night, after the leader flew to the United States, eight time zones away, the cronies she had sent to investigate Yong Zhou also brought back periodic reports.
In the quiet study room, Bai Yu quietly looked through the work results submitted by his subordinates and cronies in the past few days.
That is [Investigation on Yongzhi].
The word "eternal day" mostly refers to "the long day" in Chinese history.
I was ordered to investigate Yong Zhou's cronies. I couldn't figure out the direction for a while, so I first looked for written records with the word Yong Zhou.
[A poem written by Yao He of the Tang Dynasty, "To my Brother Guo Jiduangong in Shaanxi Mansion": "I chant endlessly throughout the day, and my throat is dry and silent."]
["Drunk Flower Shade" by Li Qingzhao of the Song Dynasty: The mist is thick and the clouds are sad forever, and the auspicious brain disappears (kills) the golden beast. It’s the Double Ninth Festival and the Double Ninth Festival. Jade pillows and gauze kitchens make it cool in the middle of the night. After dusk when I drink wine in Dongli, there is a faint fragrance filling my sleeves. There is no way to lose one's soul. The west wind blows behind the curtain, and people are thinner than yellow flowers. 】
[Wen Zhengming's "April" poem of the Ming Dynasty: "If the day disappears forever, there will be fragments under the window."]
[The first chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions" by Cao Xueqin of the Qing Dynasty: "One day in the hot summer, the scholar sat idle in his study, throwing away the book with his tired hands, and fell asleep for a few times." Chapter 79 of "A Dream of Red Mansions": "I don't hear the eternal day. There is a sound of chess knocking, and the mud stains the chessboard."]
["Book of Two Places·Xu Guangping": "It is also good for acquaintances to meet each other, and it can also be used to eliminate the eternal day."]
When many poems and articles mention the word "eternal day", they do not have any special meaning, but without exception are just used to describe the long day.
The first half of the report, which I believe is based on reading ancient books, basically contains the same content, and there is nothing worth paying attention to.
But when he saw the second half of the report, Bai Yu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
The confidant didn't know what Bai Yu, who had only given him the word "Yong Zhou" to investigate, wanted to find out, so he simply followed the direction of the sun to learn more.
The second half of the report begins with this sentence: [The so-called eternal day is mostly understood as a long day, and the day is related to the sun. 】
Bai Yu nodded. She now knew that the symbol of Yongzhi was the sun pattern, and there would be no problem if she followed the direction of the sun to investigate and understand it.
[According to records in various historical and ancient books, when the sun is mentioned, there is little awe. 】
[This is a sun worship culture. The belief that arises because of the strong sense of existence of the sun itself is inevitable for most civilizations. 】
[Belief in the sun is the most extensive and profound. Kuafu chases the sun, Hou Yi shoots the sun, Helios drives the fire horse, Surya drives the sun... countless sun myths are spread in various cultures. 】
The second half of the confidant's report focuses on investigating the sun worship culture that is deeply rooted in various civilizations.
Bai Yu squinted his eyes and flipped through a large list of sun myths, trying to find some possible similarities with Yong Zhou.
She had no other thoughts, she was just curious about whether her amazing organization was really completely hidden in history.
She had a vague idea:
Perhaps, in history, we can get a glimpse of the behemoth Yongzhou.
really.
When he read a certain record about the sun myth in Chinese culture, Bai Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
["The Book of Mountains and Seas·Haiwai Dong Jing": "There is a hibiscus on the Tang Valley. I bathed in it for ten days and lived in the water. For nine days, it lived on the lower branch and on one day it lived on the upper branch."]
[In the painted silk paintings unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, the hibiscus branches are intricately entwined, with fist-shaped leaves, smooth lines, and fine depictions. Mineral pigments such as cinnabar, azurite, and stone green are used to create strong contrast. The colors are gorgeous. 】
["Records of Ten Continents in the Sea" records: "Fusang is on the east coast of the East China Sea, and after traveling for ten thousand miles, there is a blue sea in the east, as wide and narrow as the East China Sea. Fusang is in the blue sea, and there are many trees on the ground, and the leaves are all Like mulberry trees, they are several thousand feet long and more than two thousand meters wide. Two trees grow occasionally from the same root and are more dependent on each other, so they are called fusang."]
…
This is a certain sun worship system in Chinese culture. It is said that there are ten divine birds in the sky that are the sun, and they live on a tree called Fusang.
A sun bird flies up every day, symbolizing the rising of the sun in the east and setting in the west.
The confidant who summarized the sun worship culture of various countries naturally recorded more than this, but Bai Yu's eyes couldn't move away after seeing this.
Hibiscus tree...
Looking at these records, Bai Yu suddenly felt a strong sense of immediacy.
She thought of the tree in the cave at the headquarters, the huge mulberry tree with an unknown height.
picture! It’s so similar!
The big tree in the cave of the headquarters also has two thick branches nestled together, which is in line with the "Ten Continents in the Sea" "Two trees grow occasionally with the same roots, and they are more dependent on each other, so they are called Fusang." 】 records.
The countless fiery red mulberries on the big tree also roughly conform to the description in "Records of Ten Continents in the Sea" [Although the tree is large, its leaves are like mulberries in mid-summer, but the leaves are sparse and red in color. 】 records, but the number is much greater than that in the records.
The big tree in the cave of the headquarters has an overall structure with intricately twisted branches and fist-shaped leaves. It is almost identical to the hibiscus tree depicted in the painted silk paintings unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha.
Looking at the large area of water in the headquarters cave sky, it is also like the Yugu water area in various records: like a blue sea, wide and narrow.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that the tree in the cave of the headquarters is the Fusang tree, a sacred tree recorded in myths and legends. The space in the cave of the headquarters is the legendary Yutani.
Bai Yu still remembers the day when she first ate mulberries and became a level 0 psyker. Having initially gained the ability to perceive spirituality, she subconsciously activated her perception.
In front of her was the big tree in the headquarters cave and the leader himself.
Then she discovered that the tree in the cave of the headquarters had a spiritual energy that was as dazzling as the sun in the sky, exuding infinite majestic power.
The heavy feeling made her feel like a real oppression.
At the beginning, Bai Yu decisively ended the observation from a new perspective, and only then did he recover from the oppression of the two "big suns".
It vaguely agrees with various records, and it is like a big sun in spiritual perception...
Bai Yu felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
