Chapter 468: Distant Relatives in Middle-earth
The oldest books recorded in Middle-earth are not Zhouyi, Lianshan, Guizang and the like.
But the famous "Three Tombs", "Five Codes", "Eight Suos" and "Nine Hills".
Among them, "Three Tombs" records the books of Fuxi, Shennong, and Huangdi. It is even said that the book "Three Tombs" was written by these three ancestors.
The name of Zhang Sanfen is also taken from this ancient book.
Zhang Sanfen told me that the book "Sanfen" contains records about the Zangtian clan.
In the earliest times, the Zangtian clan, like the Huaxu clan, was a tribe in the ancient times of Middle-earth.
But after Pangu created the world, the human race flourished, and each clan conquered and fought with each other as tribes.
The Zangtian clan was an extremely prominent clan at that time.
Its leader even once competed with Fuxi of the Huaxu clan for the world, but failed.
To be honest, if the Zangtian clan had won at that time, it is estimated that the history of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would have to be rewritten in the future.
Because things happened so long ago, and the war between the Zangtian clan and the Huaxu clan is unclear.
This book only records that the Zangtian clan failed in the battle with the Huaxu clan, so they mobilized the entire clan to move to the underground city, vowing never to see the sun above their heads again.
But where the underground city is and where the passage is, there is no mention in the records.
But from that time on, there was no more word about the Zangtian clan in history.
Zhang Sanfen was also well-read, and he had heard a few rumors about the Zangtian clan.
So when he heard that the other party came from the underground city, he immediately determined the other party's identity.
It's just that the era of Zangtian clan is too far away from now.
Even if there really is a city in the underground world where people can live, what will they eat? What to drink?
There is no sunshine and no plants. Do we have to drink the northwest wind every day?
If possible, we prefer to believe that the dungeon is just a legend.
When Zhang Sanfen told me about the Zangtian clan, he did not shy away from the other party at all.
The other party did not express any opinion on our conversation. He just walked quickly on the frozen River Styx with a lantern in hand.
After a while, we crossed the Styx and stood in front of the house.
As I got closer, I realized that the house covered a very large area, at least over 500 meters wide.
Looking into the distance along the lanterns on the wall, I saw the courtyard wall looming, looking extremely mysterious.
Zhang Sanfen and I stood at the main entrance of this house, looking up at the three big characters on it.
In fact, I don't know these three words, but they contain the meaning of runes.
It seems that the Zangtian clan has developed its own set of writing in the underground world for thousands of years.
Moreover, these words seem to have evolved based on the original runes.
The leading man pushed the door gently, then turned around and said: "You two, please!"
Zhang Sanfen, an expert in art, was brave, so he sneered and walked in.
Seeing that Zhang Sanfen was not afraid, I laughed boldly and followed him quickly.
This step is equivalent to entering someone else's territory.
If the other party is unfavorable to me, I'm afraid the boss and I will have to force our way out.
After entering from the main entrance, the light inside the house has improved a lot.
Antique lanterns hang next to each room, illuminating the entire house with a lazy feeling. Moreover, the house is separated by walls, forming courtyards one after another.
In every courtyard, there are Zangtian people walking quickly carrying lanterns.
I took a brief glance and found that these Zangtian clans were breathing and had heartbeats. Although their bodies were heavy in yin energy and weak in yang energy, they were indeed living people.
As for the heavy yin energy on the body, it should be caused by living in the underground world all year round and not being exposed to sunlight at all.
If this is the case, more than seven thousand years of development have already allowed the Zangtian clan to adapt to underground life.
If the Age of Dharma Ending had not come, they would not even be able to withstand the burning sun.
It is indeed pitiful to be a human being to this extent.
No wonder that after the end of the Dharma Age, the Yang Qi of the outside world subsided, and the Zangtian clan finally had the opportunity to return to the surface world.
I was thinking in my mind, but my footsteps kept moving forward behind the leader.
After passing through the fifth courtyard, the person leading the way finally led us into a spacious main room.
Inside the room, a dark-skinned figure was reading a book seriously under a dim light.
I noticed that there were many books on his desk, many of which were brand new and modern books that smelled of ink.
I even found a few big words written on the spine of one of the books: A Brief Introduction to Special and General Relativity.
This is clearly Einstein’s scientific work, isn’t it?
There are many books in the room and it is very messy.
But the dark-skinned figure behind the desk was reading with gusto, and he didn't even notice when we came over.
Until the man who was leading us coughed slightly and said, "Master, the guests you want to invite have arrived."
This words woke up the man who was reading. He took his eyes away from the book and smiled at us. , said quickly: "Two gentlemen, please take a seat!"
Soon someone put a chair behind us, and someone brought two glasses of cold liquid.
Although it exudes a cold air, it smells delicious to me, but this cold fragrance is different from the smell of the Queen of Secret Hearts.
The fragrance of Queen Secret Heart's corpse was refreshing and fragrant, but the taste of this cup of tea was extremely cold.
Even just smelling it makes me shiver.
If I take two sips, I doubt that the yang energy in my body will be taken away directly.
No wonder the people in this house have so much yin energy. If they weren't breathing and heartbeating, I would almost think they were all living dead.
I looked at the other person carefully. From the appearance, he was not very old. At least he had firm skin, black hair, and no wrinkles on his face.
And some of the books he read were in English.
This surprised me.
You must know that it has only been less than three days since the Dharma-Ending Age came.
In these three days, Zangtian not only had to get these books from all over the world, but also learned both English and modern Chinese.
In three days, he was able to read scientific works in English, which shows that this guy's learning ability is terrifying!
Unless the other party had already sent people out of the underground city to collect human scientific works and human history before the end of the Dharma Age.
I don't know if my guess is correct, but the other party knows how to study and understand etiquette. It is obvious that they have been trying to learn the knowledge and culture of Middle-earth.
Judging from this point alone, I feel that these guys have bad intentions towards Middle-earth!
Just kidding, if they really have good intentions towards China-Earth, how can they be so secretive that they don't even dare to contact the Curseless Road Base?
You must know that Wei Wuguo from Curseless Road Base can represent half of China!
Some of the decisions he made, even the president couldn't refute!
