Miaoyu's words still made Jia Lan a little unbelievable.
This kind of illusion is too arbitrary.
"Otherwise, how do you explain the change in the tattoo on my back?" Miaoyu asked back.
"This, I don't know..."
Jia Lan shook his head and said frankly.
Indeed, the tattoo on my back now does not look like the ferocious and unusual Qiongqi before. The aura coming from this tattoo is probably an ancient auspicious beast that wards off evil spirits.
To ward off evil spirits... right?
Huh?
An idea suddenly appeared in Jialan's mind, but the idea flashed past and he couldn't catch it.
"There's no rush..."
Miaoyu took a sip of hot tea, calmed down and then said: "As the tattoo on my back returns to its original state, maybe he can remember more things, so you and I don't have to guess."
Indeed, this is the most direct solution.
Jia Lan's expression changed and he looked at the little brother beside him.
The latter finally spoke after a long period of silence: "I feel a lot more relaxed. Maybe I can recall something like Fairy Miaoyu said."
Jia Lan nodded secretly.
Yes, just from the perspective of aura, my aura is much clearer than before, which is a good thing.
"I hope you can recover soon." Jia Lan and Miaoyu blessed him one after another.
"Thank you..."
The three of them sat for a while, and Miaoyu suddenly sighed.
"After all, there are really too few books for us to check. I originally thought that we could find many lost ancient books in Shenjing City, but I didn't expect that we were in vain."
To Miaoyu, this was just an ordinary sigh, but after hearing this, Jialan couldn't help but feel a little sinking in his heart, holding the tea cup in his hand, his thoughts racing.
Miaoyu accidentally said something that made him extremely concerned.
As Jia Lan learns more and more about this world, he gradually discovers that the world of Red Mansions has more and more different histories from his original world.
Judging from the news I heard during my trip to the south, the pattern of the Western powers in this world is similar to that of the later generations of Jalan. France's land hegemony on the continent is further challenged, the Franconian machine further declines, and the Netherlands and England come from behind. In the world
Competing for supremacy within the scope.
If you look to the east, except for China-Earth, the rest of the world is in complete chaos.
The Li Dynasty on the peninsula was completely wiped out during the Renchen Rebellion. Today, this area is ruled by a kingdom called Chen Kingdom.
The island country to the east was divided into two, split into the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
And these three countries are hostile to each other, and they all come from the same origin.
The king of Chen Kingdom, whose surname is Toyotomi.
On the archipelago, the Southern Dynasty was a religious state with Osaka Castle as its capital, and its leader was Amakusa Shiro, while the Northern Dynasty was the Tokugawa shogunate that separated Kanto and had Edo as its base.
The three feuding forces have been fighting endlessly for decades.
This is true outside Daxia, and it is true inside.
In the past, Jia Lan always thought that the history of China and Earth looked exactly the same as the original history at first glance, but it took a divergent path after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
Not really.
Jialan discovered that much of history was different from his original world.
Such as religion.
The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism coexist in China, but in the world of Red Mansions, Confucianism is the dominant one, followed by Buddhism and Taoism.
Songshan Shaolin closed the mountain to visitors, and Longhu Mountain, the ancestral home of Taoism and the residence of the heavenly masters for generations, simply disappeared.
If Jia Lan had not gone south this time and had the idea of traveling to famous mountains and rivers in search of immortals, he would not have known that the Tianshi Mansion of the Si Han Dynasty in the world of Red Mansion had actually become a Confucian academy.
Even the Taoism in the world of Red Mansions is very different from the Taoism that Jia Lan originally knew.
The Three Pure Ones of Taoism are not the Yuanshi Tianzun of Yuqing, the Lingbao Tianzun of Shangqing, and the moral Tianzun of Taiqing, but the Tiangong Tianzun of Yuqing, the Earthly God of Shangqing, and the Renggong Tianzun of Lingqing.
Do you have a weird feeling? The titles of these three people seem to have been mixed up.
That's right, Jia Lan was a little confused when he heard that the three Qing Dynasties each had their own names.
It was not until later that he learned that the mainstream Taoism in China in the world of Red Mansions was also called Taiping Sect.
That's right, it's the Taiping Sect in the late Han Dynasty.
However, this Taiping sect was no different from the demon sect in the eyes of both the government and Confucianists. The great Confucians of the past denounced it as "unreasonable rhetoric, pointing out important matters and analyzing and breaking laws, violating the classics and art, using stars and constellations, pretending to rely on gods, and creating selfish ideas.
It’s a false accusation.”
One of the talisman water spells was labeled as evil by Confucianism.
Han Zi once said: "A man of witchcraft, medicine, music, and craftsmanship is looked down upon by a gentleman."
In addition to the popularity of White Lotus at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Taoism was classified by the world as the White Lotus sect that relied on witchcraft and Taoism. Except for a few Taoist temples such as the Qingxu Temple where Zhang Laodao stayed before, the Taoism relied on it even further, as far back as the inheritance of Pre-Qin Taoism.
After being recognized by the government, the remaining Taoist temples almost disappeared.
Comparatively speaking, the situation of Buddhism is much better. At least its recognition by both the upper class and the lower class is much better than the former.
But in this way, the Taoist history that Jia Lan was originally familiar with was of no use in the Red Mansion.
Due to the suppression by the government, it is basically difficult to find classics related to Taoism.
The "Tai Shang Induction Chapter" given to Tan Chun is one of the few that has passed the review and been released to the public.
But these are not things that concern Jia Lan.
What bothered him was that he was completely unaware of it!
No matter how slow his thinking is, Jia Lan thinks this is very inappropriate. Before time travel, he had been a volunteer in the Taoist temple with his father for a long time, and he knew the basic context of Taoism.
But it has been three years since I came to the world of Red Mansions, a full three years, and I haven't even noticed such a big change.
It was Qin Keqing's inadvertent words that reminded her that there seemed to be a force blinding her, blinding Jia Lan.
It's like a thin fog, which will always be shrouded in your thinking unless you break it yourself.
This vague feeling is what scares Jia Lan the most.
As more and more questions accumulate, Jia Lan can only hope that the police fairy can get answers from her.
[Calculate the time, the beginning of spring is right in front of you, and it won’t be long before the spring is over. If you can pass the exam smoothly, you should be able to get the Xuanhuang Qi to go to Lihentian...]
Miaoyu, who had been paying attention to Jia Lan, soon noticed that Jia Lan was preoccupied and couldn't help but ask.
"You seem to have something on your mind?"
"Um..." Jia Lan was a little surprised by Miaoyu's subtle change in her attitude towards herself. In the past, she never asked about anything.
Just when he was about to reply, the younger brother suddenly said: "I seemed to suddenly remember something about the classics that Fairy Miaoyu mentioned just now."
