Chapter 794: Years have passed, all in a joke
The story from more than a hundred years ago is still circulating and popular. When Li Changxiao heard it, he couldn't help but feel dazed. A hundred years is as long as a generation or several generations for ordinary people, but for Li Changxiao, it is just a dream. But in the blink of an eye.
The restaurant was very lively inside and outside. The storyteller spoke fluently, and his words were fascinating. Gradually, many passers-by stopped in front of the restaurant to listen to his stories. It was very lively. Li Changxiao also followed the crowd and entered the restaurant. He spent more money and asked for a good seat with good ventilation.
I never thought that such an old story, after being embellished, would be told by an outsider.
The storyteller talked about a female emperor who established the foundation of Dayu more than a hundred years ago. He also talked about the various things about the immortals filling the sea. Before he got to this point, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the old and the new take over, and the rivers and lakes are full of talented people, but nothing is permanent.
The empress was lucky, she lived a long life, slept in the middle of the night, never suffered from illness or disaster, was often missed by others, and slept soundly, but for a little longer. She was much luckier than the person who was half asleep and half awake, full of contradictions.
When storytellers talk about the empress, they have many stories to tell. Storytellers in restaurants and hotels are well-informed and eloquent. They tell stories with quality rather than quantity. They are satisfied if they can tell a story with ups and downs and make everyone applaud. Of course, the more and better the stories, the better. Every time they talk about the empress who lived more than a hundred years ago, they always talk endlessly and eloquently, expressing endless admiration and veneration. Many things, if brought to the table and one or two are told, will become brilliant.
There are thousands of stories about Dayu, and the most fascinating ones are all those that have been handed down from more than a hundred years ago. However, they are not all unofficial histories. Many of these stories are recorded in historical materials, and there are clues to be found. This makes them more intriguing and worth pondering.
How many literati and poets, when reading history books, could not help but study and ponder over this period of history, wishing they were born in that era.
What a magnificent era that was. Thousands of immortals filling the sea, surging waves...
Even today, people in Dayu still hold people and events of that era in high esteem.
Whenever the storyteller talks about this ring, he talks too much in one breath and has to pause to rest because he can't breathe smoothly. The audience below has many opinions. Whether they are well-educated scholars or rural farmers, they can always chat a few words or even argue.
There are many historical materials to prove this. Many people have studied the mentality and habits of the ancients from the stories and clues of the time. They have constantly proved and guessed, describing the great era of the interweaving of immortals and mortals, prosperity and decline. Any description and any guess can hardly say it is accurate. Some people even call the period before the death of the empress the mythical era. After the death of the empress, it was renamed the ordinary era.
The word "ordinary" really captures the essence of the subject. At this time, the Tianji Dao was flourishing, the people were healthy, and the warriors were stagnant. Although there were many people with extraordinary powers, compared with the people in the "myth", they could only be regarded as "ordinary".
But it has no derogatory meaning. Peaceful, happy, and ordinary.
However, there are always people who question it. A young scholar made a statement that was shocking. He said, "I think this history is false." Someone immediately refuted, "You are just talking nonsense." The scholar said, "Huh! How dare I speak nonsense if I don't have any evidence." The scholar bowed and said, "I have traveled to many countries, but I have not seen any country record related events a hundred years ago. Immortals, Buddhas, etc. are nothing but falsehood."
One person retorted, "Humph, they know nothing! We, Dayu, are a great country of heavenly secrets, so powerful. Why don't you believe our own historical records, but believe the records of that small country instead?"
The scholar said, "No, no, it is biased to trust our country's historical data. How do you know that the empress is not bragging and making up historical data?" At that time, the people of Dayu were open-minded and the policies were enlightened. The people called the monarch directly without any scruples.
Someone refuted: "You are biased, don't talk nonsense here." Another person said: "No, no, this brother has a point, it is indeed possible."
Just when everyone was in a stalemate, one person said, "Why bother arguing? I have a mirror that can refute this person's nonsense." After saying that, he took out a palm-sized jade mirror.
Everyone was amazed and said, "Oh, this thing is precious. This young master must be of high status!" The man said, "Bring me some fire!"
Then he placed the mirror on the table. He took out a green chandelier from his bosom and hung it above the mirror. He lit the chandelier with fire, and it emitted a light green halo. The halo hit the mirror, refracting colorful rays of light, forming a picture.
The Tianji Dao in Dayu became more prosperous, and there were various kinds of Tianji machines, including daily necessities for the market and farmland, as well as luxury items that were more showy than practical.
In fact, folding mirrors and photo mirrors are very common in Dayu. They can be seen in high-end restaurants and hotels. Most of them are shaped like huge rocks, one person tall and several people wide. They cannot be easily carried. Although these photo mirrors are also luxurious and expensive, ordinary people often see them and don’t think they are strange. However, this young man’s photo mirror is only as wide as a palm, which is even more luxurious and rare, and is used to cultivate sentiment and impromptu entertainment.
Everyone immediately looked over and saw that the halo formed a picture, revealing a figure. Most people were surprised at the rarity of this mirror, but they did not find this strange phenomenon strange and took it for granted.
The light shone on the mirror and reflected in the air. A halo swirled for a moment, and it seemed as if they had returned to a fairyland. Everyone was intoxicated and looked intently, and saw that the scene had changed. Two figures appeared.
It turned out to be a scene of Li Changxiao and Bian Huo competing in the clinic. The two men's miraculous medical skills could prove a corner of the great world more than a hundred years ago.
(The recent updates may be unstable. After May Day this year, I have been troubled by something and my condition is not very good. I can only try to update as steadily as possible. By the way, I will also organize the subsequent plot.)
