Chapter 123 Faults in the History of Daxia
In the cozy single dormitory for boys of Shenhua University.
With a flash of light, Qi Sui, who was almost mentally exhausted, lay down on the bed again.
He suppressed his tiredness and took off his clothes. The orange sunset outside the window shone into the room, attracting his attention.
"It's been... almost a day?"
Qi Sui was a little stunned!
He clearly remembered that it was already night before entering the secret realm, so the sunset now was probably the next day.
"I only stayed in that fragment of light curtain for about two hours. Did the outside world last that long?"
Qi Sui's heart tightened and he immediately looked for his cell phone.
But the date displayed on the screen made him think.
September 19, 2060!
On the same day as him before entering the secret realm!
"So..."
Qi Sui looked out the window, and a thought emerged in his mind: Did he go back to the past?
Even if we only go back to the past for about two hours, there are too many meanings contained in it!
It's just that he still doesn't understand why the time spent in the light curtain fragments, when placed on the timeline of the real world, not only does it not increase, but it actually decreases!
Coincidence?
Or is it something else?
Qi Sui couldn't figure it out and simply stopped thinking about it. Instead, he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
…
beep beep beep——
The vibration of the cell phone alarm woke Qi Sui from his sleep.
After a whole night of deep sleep, my almost exhausted mental energy is about to be fully restored.
[Mental power: 588/610]
Qi Sui didn't have the habit of sleeping in, so he got up quickly, washed up, folded the quilt, changed into loose and casual clothes and left the dormitory.
The cold fresh air with a slight floral fragrance flows into the lungs, and the whole person's spirit is lifted.
It was half past six in the morning.
But on the campus of Shenhua University, young male and female college students can be seen everywhere reading and studying seriously in the morning light.
The learning atmosphere is a very important indicator in evaluating the quality of a school.
Today, Qi Sui was not in a hurry to go to Qinglong Martial Arts University, but went straight to the Shenhua University Library.
This library, known as one of the three largest book collections in the Xia Kingdom, is the iconic building of Shenhua University.
There are sixteen floors in the upper and lower buildings.
The bookshelves on each floor are arranged in an orderly manner, with a collection of hundreds of thousands of books. Many books have become yellowed due to age, but they are still cleaned and arranged neatly by dedicated personnel.
Today, with the rapid development of information technology, books and texts have not been eliminated.
On the contrary, it plays an increasingly important role in some fields.
Not far away, a girl who was placing books saw Qi Sui pacing back and forth in front of the bookshelf, so she took the initiative to come over and asked: "This...classmate? Are you looking for a book?"
Lin Huiya is a sophomore.
In order to pursue a work-study program, I worked part-time as a library librarian as early as my freshman year.
"right!"
Qi Sui was looking through the floor plan of the library.
His eyes brightened when he saw someone offering to help.
Lin Huiya pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "May I ask what kind of books your classmates need. I am the librarian here, and I may be able to help."
"From the Department of Chemistry, do you know where it is?" Qi Sui asked.
"It turns out that my classmate is a student in the Department of Chemistry. The professional books in this field are in the southwest corner of this floor. I will take you there!"
With Lin Huiya leading the way, everything became much smoother.
Under the recommendation of the girl, Qi Sui simply selected two highly professional books.
"Performance Basics and Processing Manual of Secret Minerals" "Complete Summary of Experimental Reports of Senior Chemical Researchers"
Both books are very thick, around a thousand pages, which is enough to read for a while.
Qi Sui wants to advance his career [Chemical Researcher] to the advanced level as soon as possible.
"Okay, students, if you have nothing else to do, please go to the door to register for borrowing." Lin Huiya pointed to the location.
"Wait a minute, I also want to find some history books."
"history?"
Lin Huiya showed a hint of surprise: "In today's era, everyone is pursuing the future and exploring the progress of scientific and technological revolution, but there are not many people who are willing to delve into history."
The girl's words are not false at all.
The status of history in today's society is far less important than computers, mechas, materials, intelligent prosthetics, etc.
Many universities have even eliminated history departments.
As far as Shenhua University is concerned, although the history department is still retained, it has long since declined and is the major with the lowest admission score among many disciplines.
"It's just a side hobby!" Qi Sui's eyes were clear.
"You are asking the right person, and you are not afraid of jokes. I am a sophomore student in the history department of our school. If you don't mind, we can become friends and discuss each other!"
Lin Huiya looked at Qi Sui with a hint of intimacy.
It's like meeting like-minded friends.
"Okay, that's my honor. For a layman like me in history, I will inevitably bother my senior sister too much in the future!" Qi Sui showed a pure and silly smile.
"It turns out you are a freshman. No wonder you feel unfamiliar all the time. Senior sister, you are not afraid of being disturbed. As long as it is a question related to history, you are welcome to disturb me at any time!"
Lin Huiya covered her mouth and smiled, then led Qi Sui down the spiral staircase.
Finally arrived at the third underground floor.
Compared with the floors above, this place seems much deserted. There are almost no students visible, there are very few bookshelves on display, and there are only tens of thousands of books by visual inspection.
"This floor is full of historical books. You decide which period of history you are more interested in, and I will take you to find them!"
"These books are a bit too few!" Qi Sui showed a puzzled expression.
The subject of history is a big category no matter how you say it, and it has been passed down and accumulated over the years. How come there are only a few tens of thousands of books placed here like waste.
"There is no way. Maybe you don't understand it very well. Although our history in Daxia is long and can be traced back tens of thousands of years, it has always been troubled by disasters and experienced several historical faults."
Speaking of this, Lin Huiya sighed and showed a helpless expression: "Many books have been buried in the catastrophe of history, so only these have been preserved, and many of them are missing."
"It's really a pity. The more I study in the field of history, the more I can appreciate those glorious and evocative years and heroes. Without them, the civilization of Daxia would not be inherited today."
"..."
When it comes to knowledge in the professional field, Lin Huiya, who is slightly introverted, also starts talking directly.
Qi Sui stood aside and listened quietly.
The history of Xia Kingdom is very long, but generally speaking, it can be divided into four stages.
The first stage is the ancient era of living like hair and drinking blood.
The second stage is the Warring States Period when all the heroes in the world compete for hegemony.
The third stage is the era of the Age of Gods when gods descend and attempt to rule mankind.
And today, the extraordinary era in which human beings break the shackles of genes and pursue the path of transcendence through martial arts has brought an end to the gods and hastily hid the evil spirits.
Qi Sui's desire to study books in the field of history was not just a whim.
As early as that day, he was pulled into the spiritual environment by the God of Flesh and Blood, and he had doubts about the existence and origin of the secondary source pool, the so-called gods, demons, and secret realms.
When did they appear?
Where did they originate?
Perhaps, only by peering into history can we discover some truths hidden in the fog and tragic historical gaps.
