After Xu Lan read these translated words, he suddenly remembered the inscriptions that looked like tombstones that he saw in the underground ancient city that day.
With his extremely strong memory ability, he memorized every pattern on it. With the help of these translated words, he couldn't help but recall the contents recorded in the ancient city inscriptions and translated them himself.
"We are the Shennong clan, and our clan leader is named Yandi. We once joined forces with the Xuanyuan clan, the Yellow Emperor, to defeat the military leader Chi You.
Later, our clan and the Xuanyuan clan had different ideals. Our clan advocated that all living things are the people of God and should respect each other, coexist and develop.
The Xuanyuan clan is even more radical, claiming that they were created by the Nuwa Divine Clan and are the primates of all things, so they should be above all other clans.
The struggle broke out. Unlike our tribe, which is good at farming and mulberry farming, the Xuanyuan tribe is very good at learning. They got along with our tribe and learned farming from nomadic life.
After a battle with the military leader Chi You, he learned the art of war and battle formations through successive defeats, and even learned how to forge armor.
Although our clan has a large population and is supported by various clans, we are still no match for the Xuanyuan clan.
The Yellow Emperor banished us and headed west until we came to this desolate land, and had no choice but to start using the technology our people had mastered to manage it.
Fortunately, with the collective efforts of the entire clan, we created the Shennong Cauldron. All seeds preserved by the Shennong Cauldron can grow and bear fruit even in deserts without water sources.
The barren and vast land was brought under control, and our clan established its capital here for thousands of years. It was not until the first Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang had passed away that trade and communication with the Central Plains began.
This should have been the most prosperous era. People worked at sunrise and rested at sundown. On festival days, they worshiped the great God Fuxi and Nuwa and worshiped the spirit of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Until one day, it was rumored that three evangelists came from Dongsheng China, namely Taiqing, Shangqing, and Yuqing.
They established the Heavenly Court in Dongsheng China, took control of the law-level authority, and gave more blessings to the people of Dongsheng China.
The clan chiefs and people were amazed by their miraculous methods and established Taoist temples everywhere...
More and more humans and races are choosing to follow Tao, forgetting the gods we originally worshiped.
Over there in the Central Plains, the Tai Chi Bagua developed by Emperor Fuxi was actually misappropriated by the Three Qing Dynasties and proclaimed themselves the Taoist Dharma. How ridiculous.
Due to people's forgetfulness, Emperor Fuxi no longer lives in the mortal world and his whereabouts are unknown. Only Empress Nuwa is left to build a temple in the human world and be worshiped by others.
Xin, the last emperor of the Yin and Shang dynasties in the Central Plains, was trying to reform the country. He did not respect the gods, neither worshiped Tao nor believed in gods, and he led the world to attack him.
The twelve golden immortals of Taoism were born, King Wu defeated Zhou, and the war between mortals and gods lasted for thousands of years, and the world fell into chaos.
Our people in the far west were also implicated and involved in the war. The sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the fertile land was gradually deserted during the war. The people were displaced, and the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed.
After that, another god-man came from outside the world and called himself Buddha. Like the Three Pure Ones, he wanted to preach to the world. But in such a chaotic world, who would believe in Buddhism and Taoism?
Based on Xiniu Hezhou, the Buddha led refugees of all ethnic groups to gather in Xiniu Hezhou and established Lingshan Leiyin Temple.
Hundreds of years later, I heard that all human races in Dongsheng Shenzhou and Xiniu Hezhou were wiped out in one day, the underworld was in turmoil, the underworld was flowing backwards, hell was empty, and demons were in the world.
The tribesmen often have nightmares when they fall asleep. They sleep without waking up, and wake up crazy. What they see in their dreams is an ultimate hell with only despair and no hope.
My son fell into a dream three days ago. When he woke up this morning, he killed all his relatives. I killed them with my own hands. Looking at the prosperous city in the distance, it has now returned to death.
Perhaps I am already the last member of the Shennong family. What a pity. History is recorded here in a few words. If future generations can see it, please do not forget that we also existed in this world."
The entire text content in an inscription written down by Xu Lan is roughly like this, but now that I recall it, I am absolutely surprised.
It turns out that this lost ancient city is the Shennong clan in ancient legends. In this era, the historical records of the three ancient emperors have become secrets.
Unless scholars are recognized by the royal family, ordinary people have no access to this period of history.
Xu Lan also accidentally got a glimpse of it from the palace's collection of books through his master Luo Jianming. In his early years, he was curious as to why this period of history was deliberately sealed.
Now looking at the records of the Shennong clan, I'm afraid there are some shocking secrets hidden behind them.
In particular, Taoism and Buddhism don't seem to be gods that existed in ancient times, as they are spread in the world. They seem to be foreign!
Xu Lan, who realized that there were problems with the history of this world, immediately thought about whether there was something hidden behind this trip to the West to learn scriptures.
At the same time, in the monster city, Jiang Liuer and others came to Liu Menghan's home.
After her grandmother poured tea for everyone, she also told the real history.
She said to Jiang Liu'er: "When do you think Tianting and Lingshan appeared?"
Jiang Liuer frowned and said: "The Three Purities evolved into the Bagua, and the Eight Trigrams turned into all things Senluo. Then at least the Sanqing Dao Sect existed during the creation of the ancient world, and then the Heavenly Court gradually expanded on this basis.
As for the Lingshan Buddha, it seems that he appeared later. The Buddha Sakyamuni was born in Hezhou, Xiniu. When he was born, he pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the earth, which means that I am the only one in heaven and earth.
Later, he attained enlightenment and became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree behind the Mahabodhi Temple, and opened a large practice sect besides the Sanqing Taoist Gate, with the intention of stimulating the Buddha nature in everyone's heart.
Although the time is later than that of Taoism, it shouldn’t be too late. History does not indicate when the Buddha attained enlightenment.”
Liu Menghan's grandmother chuckled softly, "What if I told you that the Eight Diagrams did not evolve from the Three Pure Ones, but from Emperor Fuxi, and that Buddha did not attain enlightenment in Xiniu Hezhou, but came here from outside the sky and established his foundation in Xiniu Hezhou, wouldn't it?
Subvert your inherent knowledge concept as a human being."
Jiang Liu'er opened his eyes wide and said in astonishment: "Emperor Fuxi, how come I have never heard of it? Buddha came from outside the world? That means he does not exist in this world? Then why does he come here to preach?"
"In order to wipe out the memory of civilization and imprint their traces, so as to control the entire world's civilization."
The more Jiang Liuer listened, the more confused he became, but Zhizunbao looked at Liu Menghan and said in surprise: "Miss Liu, isn't this the content of the strange book you showed me?"
Jiang Liuer looked at the Supreme Treasure, "What kind of strange book?"
Liu Menghan's grandmother smiled gently and said: "Let me tell you from the beginning. As early as in ancient mythology, Pangu created the world, and from this the clear air rose and the turbid air descended.
Where the clear air rises, it turns into various laws. Where the turbid air descends, it turns into the original land where the four major continents are now.
After countless thousands of years, various conflicting laws gradually found a balance point with the adaptation of time, and acted on the four devastated and desolate continents.
Later, due to the return of Pangu's energy and spirit to the earth, under the influence of various laws, various races were gradually born, including us demons and you humans."
