The Light of History

Chapter 327 The Return of History

We have arrived at Yongjiang.

Qin Mu looked around. The village chief had been to this place before when he was looking for Wuyou Township. The village where the ghosts were led by the ghost messenger should not be too far away. It would only take about five or six days to get back to Canlao Village.

It was already the end of August, the sun was still very hot, and the sky was blazing. It was a rather bumpy journey. When Qin Mu followed the Prince Ling Yushu out of the capital, it was still spring, but now it was already the end of summer. Another season passed, and he would return to the village to celebrate the New Year.

The experiences along the way are legendary.

As they went down the river, suddenly a gust of water vapor blew up from the river, and then they saw a thick white fog blocking the river, and they could not see anything around.

Qin Mu stopped immediately, and everyone else also stopped hurriedly and stood on the river without moving.

Xiong Xiyu's heart tightened, and she whispered, "Monster?"

Qin Mu shook his head: "It doesn't look like that. It should be a strange thing in Daxu."

At this moment, the Worry-Free Sword in the wooden scabbard behind him began to jingle. Qin Mu's heart moved slightly. The Worry-Free Sword rarely made a sound on its own initiative. The last time it made a sound was when it encountered the treasure ship of his father Qin Hanzhen.

The Wuyou Sword continued to vibrate, and the sound of people and horses gradually came from the fog, as if countless people and horses passed by here. Xiong Qier whispered: "Look at our feet, the water is gone!"

Qin Mu looked down hurriedly, and saw that the river beneath their feet had suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by dry yellow soil.

The fog gradually disappeared and became thinner and thinner, and many moving figures could be vaguely seen around.

Qin Mu, Xiong Xiyu and the others were stunned and their bodies stiffened. They saw a Gobi desert all around them, with yellow sand filling the sky. Tens of thousands of magical beings wearing very simple clothing styles were leading giant beasts to build a huge building.

These buildings do not look like houses for humans. They are tall and majestic, the pagodas reach into the sky, and the palaces are magnificent and golden. They look like the place where giants or gods live.

On the tall altars, there stand golden gods. Some have human bodies with bird heads, some have human bodies with animal heads, they are all wearing golden armor and their eyes are shining.

It was a living god, and it seemed that wherever his body stood there was eternal daylight.

Under their supervision, tens of thousands of powerful gods are building a palace for gods on a grand and magnificent scale.

However, aren’t they in Yongjiang?

How could this be a desert?

Several dragons pulled a precious chariot and flew across the sky. From afar, a voice that shook the heaven and earth was heard: "In compliance with the Emperor's order: The Ministry of Works is to oversee the construction of the West Palace and start water conservancy and transportation!"

Qin Mu was slightly startled. "The Supreme Emperor? The third move of the sword diagram that the village chief taught me is the Supreme Emperor's Tribulation! What is the connection between the Supreme Emperor in the Supreme Emperor's Tribulation and the Supreme Emperor who obeys the Supreme Emperor's decree?"

A god with a dragon head and a human body standing on the altar bowed and received the order. He shook his body violently and turned into a blue dragon. He controlled the clouds and rain in the air, caused wind and waves, and brought floods to irrigate the desert.

At the same time, there was another god holding a bronze hoe in his hand, who turned into a giant and dug canals in the mountains to bring water to the city.

Another god took out a treasure bottle and floated it in the air. When the treasure bottle pointed downward, a green color suddenly emerged. The desert turned into grassland and dense forests grew wildly.

Another god took out a large tripod. When the tripod fell to the ground, mountains suddenly rose from the ground, the terrain changed drastically, and the desert turned into green mountains.

Qin Mu and others stared at this scene in a daze. These gods of the previous emperor era used their boundless power to change the world. The world was changed drastically, and it was nothing more than this.

“This big river should be Yongjiang River, right?”

Qin Mu was stunned to see that the god holding the bronze hoe had opened up a main river channel. The river was very long and flowed towards the east.

The shape of this river is somewhat similar to that of Yongjiang River, but the course of the river is not exactly the same. It is like Yongjiang River, but the water flow is not as great as that of Yongjiang River.

At this moment, the fog came again, submerging everything in front of them. In a trance, they felt the earth shaking violently. The huge noise was like the sky collapsing and the earth breaking. In the fog was a doomsday scene. The sky was spinning and the earth was upside down. Volcanoes, meteors, thick smoke and thunder submerged the once glorious palaces and buried a civilization.

They heard a rumbling sound behind them and looked back to see a chasm slowly rising in the fog, separating the continents.

The fog gradually dissipated, as if the rust of time and space was disappearing bit by bit. The natural barrier behind them gradually became clear, and the waterfall flowed into the Yongjiang River.

The yellow sand under the feet of the people turned into flowing water, flowing eastward day and night.

Plop, plop.

The two white bats hanging upside down on the chin of the dragon unicorn were stunned. Their claws lost their grip and they fell into the water. The two white bats quickly flew out of the water, hugged each other and trembled: "Daxu is too weird! Master Qin, please send us back to the Dark Valley quickly!"

Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brothers of the Bat family, you two are already part of the weirdness of Daxu. Why do you still say that Daxu is too weird? You two brothers in Ming Valley will scare countless treasure hunters who break into that place to death."

The two white bats looked at each other in bewilderment: "Are we brothers also weird?"

Qin Mu was both angry and amused. These two brothers had no self-awareness at all. The weirdness of the Nether Valley was so terrifying, with all kinds of weird creatures. Even a celestial being could hardly escape unscathed. And these two brothers were the guardians of the Nether Valley, the weirdest of the weird.

The fog around us still hasn't completely dissipated, and the ravine looks hazy in the distance.

Suddenly, groups of fog came towards them. When they reached them, they had turned into grayish-white figures and passed through them with a puff.

Everyone turned around in a hurry, only to see the mist condensing together again. A voice in the mist said, "What happened in the previous emperor's era? Why did this magnificent era disappear between heaven and earth? Was this incident just now a flash of history? What happened in history was imprinted in time, and the scene that happened in history was reproduced by chance? This land is really wonderful, and the ancient empire is also amazing."

"Your Majesty, there are some records handed down from the Dao Sect and the Great Leiyin Temple. Your Majesty should issue an edict and ask them to send these records to us."

"Good, let them send it. I don't want to bother with these monks and Taoist priests. They always ask me not to reform the law. If I don't reform the law, how can I change the people's livelihood? I don't want to see them."

The group of mist at the head walked towards Tian Jue, and a voice came from the mist: "I don't want our Kaihuang Kingdom to suffer the same fate. We must learn from the lessons of the previous dynasty. What a magnificent empire, the gods ruled the world and worked for people. It was so powerful, why are there only these ruins left..."

…

Qin Mu was excited and looked at the mist. Kaihuang?

In the Qin family's genealogy, the first one is Kaihuang, the ancestor of the Qin family!

He hurriedly chased after those human-shaped mists. They were very fast and left him far behind in just a few steps. Qin Mu activated his Heaven-Stealing Divine Leg and moved as fast as lightning, but those mists suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Qin Mu was distraught and stood there blankly.

Kaihuang.

Kaihuang Kingdom.

It should be the country before the Great Ruins disaster, but what is the relationship between Kaihuang Kingdom and Wuyou Township?

Xiong Xiyu and the others caught up. Xiong Xiyu looked around and said, "Master Qin, what happened just now?"

“The afterglow of history.”

Qin Mu calmed down and said, "There are many strange things at the source of Yongjiang River. It may be connected to several worlds. Many strange things will happen when night falls. I didn't expect that strange things would happen during the day. Judging from the last flash of light just now, this should be a palace of the former emperor. Maybe we can find relics of that era here."

“The afterglow of history?”

Xiong Xiyu and the others were slightly stunned, somewhat puzzled. How could something that had already happened come to light?

Qin Mu had seen the flashback of history. On the treasure ship, he saw his father Qin Hanzhen being ambushed.

This kind of historical afterglow is usually a mark of time left by the strong. When it comes back, it is usually triggered by related people, objects or events, and is highly accidental.

The last flash of light on the treasure ship was caused by Qin Mu and Wuyou Sword, but what caused this flash of light?

“This time it’s two flashes of light!”

Qin Mu suddenly woke up, or rather, it was a last glimmer of light in his last moments!

Kaihuang arrived here, which triggered the first Huiguang, and he saw the gods under the emperor in ancient times transforming the desert. The second Huiguang was when Kaihuang and others appeared on Yongjiang River!

The first return of light is part of the second return of light and is also recorded by time.

"So what triggered this return of light? Could it be the Worry-Free Sword again?"

Behind Qin Mu, the Worry-Free Sword had gone silent, no longer making any sword sounds, and the afterglow of history had completely dissipated. There was no trace of fog on the river surface; the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

No one knew where the fog came from or where it went!

"It's so strange, why did these things happen here... Wait a minute, the flash of history also happened on my father's treasure ship. The treasure ship is in the gap between the underworld and the real world, and the honeycomb seal seals the entrance between the underworld and the real world. If the conditions are the same, then the flash of history that happened here must be because this is the entrance to other worlds!"

Qin Mu thought that perhaps, the afterglow of history was reflected on the barriers between the worlds, and once triggered, history would be reproduced.

He and the village chief also met the Yin Cha in this vicinity and entered the world of the dead in Fengdu from here. When he came here for the second time, he also met the Yin Cha and entered the world of the dead from this vicinity to borrow the moon boat.

The world of the dead is nearby, and the underworld should be nearby as well.

"The source of Yongjiang River is more like an important node connecting to other worlds. Maybe there is a passage to other worlds here. There must be a node connecting to other worlds here!"

Qin Mu's heart, which had been shaken just now, regained its calm. Layers of light swirled in his pupils, revealing his Azure Sky Eye. He looked around but did not find anything unusual.

He raised his head and looked upwards for a while, and suddenly saw something strange.

The sky was also a bright blue sky, but he actually saw two clouds meeting and then passing through each other!

According to his understanding, if two clouds meet and collide, they will merge together. However, although these two clouds passed through each other, they seemed not to have touched each other!

This situation is more like the two clouds are in different spaces respectively. They seem to meet, but in fact they do not touch each other!

In other words, there are two skies above their heads, two overlapping skies!

"No, maybe three!"

Qin Mu leaped up and flew high into the sky. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, making him shudder. "It could also be four overlapping skies, or five..."
