Chapter 339: Secret

After drinking the tea, Ling Ping’an became a little depressed.

Such a delicious tea, what if he didn’t get to drink it in the future.

What a pity!

It was a pity that old republican girl hadn’t come for a few days.

No, it was probably half a month?

Ling Ping’an didn’t really remember.

Apart from his poor sense of direction and his confusion about numbers, he was also very confused about the date.

Time to him was a mess.

This was normal!

After all, his life was simple and boring.

He got up on time, opened the door on time, did business on time, played games and wrote words on time.

Every day, he repeated almost the same thing.

He didn’t have any friends or enemies.

Other than that, he just lied down and won, ate and waited for death.

Naturally, the concept of time was extremely thin.

If it wasn’t for the central federal government’s monthly stipend, he probably wouldn’t even know what year it was.

After all, ever since he graduated from college, he no longer had the concept of a date. He even forgot his birthday. He also needed his aunt to remind him regularly every year. Even when he came back to celebrate his birthday with him, he would be surprised: What? It’s my birthday today? Why Is it my birthday again so soon?

The chaotic sense of time sometimes made him think that he was still young.

Many times when he woke up from a midnight dream, he felt like he had woken up in bed when he was young.

It was as if at that moment, he overlapped with his childhood self.

Other times, when he woke up, he felt like he had seen his future self.

Just like that, day after day passed.

He no longer cared about time.

In fact, he didn’t even care about everything around him.

He should eat and sleep.

His greatest ambition in life was to eat and wait for death, and to win equally.

Of course, sometimes, he would have some false moral sense and illusion.

Thinking of this, Ling Ping’an leaned back on the chair. He slowly closed his eyes and softly recited Su Dongpo’s famous sentence, “I mourn the moment of my life, I envy the Endless Yangtze River, it carries the immortals to roam, it holds the bright moon and die…”

As he recited, the entire bookstore slowly rose and fell.

Just like a living creature, it was also like a slowly beating heart.

He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, “The Great Wall of ten thousand Li is still here today, but I haven’t seen Qin Shihuang back then!”

He opened his eyes and was stunned.

“Who… wrote this?”

He forgot!

It should be written by a famous person, right?

Therefore, he didn’t take it to heart. He just felt a little curious. How could he remember such a poem?

Hmm?

What was the front wall again?

He scratched his head and thought hard. Finally, he remembered it.

“Building a book for a Thousand Miles is just for the wall. What’s the harm in letting him be three feet away?”

“The Great Wall is still there today, but Qin Shihuang from back then is nowhere to be seen!”

“Good poem!” Ling Ping’an praised while savoring the poem.

However, he couldn’t remember who wrote this.

He checked with his phone, but couldn’t find anything.

Therefore, he roughly understood that he should have seen it when he was reading in the library when he was in university?

This was very normal!

Before the Federal Empire was founded, the country experienced decades of war.

Countless books were destroyed, and many poems became unknown.

If no one publicized these poems, they would be forgotten.

They would become the poems of unknown people lying in the library.

Even if they were of high quality!

…

Wang Jingcheng walked faster, and he came back even faster.

When he came back, Han Li was talking to Xiaoai in the room.

From Xiaoai’s words, Han Li roughly understood the structure of the so-called ‘multiverse’.

It was a crystal wall system.

A crystal wall system with swords and magic as the main melody.

It was also a crystal wall system with faith as the main melody.

The gods worked hard for their faith, just like the demons of the Abyss and the Devils of Hell would do anything for their souls.

The gods had their divine kingdoms, which they relied on and were also the homes of their believers.

Of course, there were also the divine kingdoms of the gods, which were not in the astral world.

The Abyss, Hell, the mechanical realm, Mount Paradise, and so on all had the existence of the gods.

When Wang Jingcheng pushed the door open, Han Li and Xiaoai were talking about the story of the fallen Netheril Empire.

“The floating cities that the arcanists of Netheril rose up eventually fell under the attack of the magic sunflower. Only a few floating cities escaped into the shadow realm and the mechanical realm…”

“The Glorious Grand Arcanist civilization, the most brilliant civilization in the multiverse, disappeared just like that…”

“Human beings have once again become the livestock of the Gods…”

“They have become the cattle and sheep that provide them with the power of faith…”

Xiaoai sighed with emotion as she said, “No one knows how those sunflowers appeared…”

Han Li moved her lips.

She knew!

Mr. Amur had heard the Grand Arcanists’ bold words when he was traveling around the world, so he gave them a test.

If the survivors of Netheril knew about this, they would be shocked!

At this moment, the door opened.

Wang Jingcheng came in with a secret safe.

“Colonel Han Li, this is what you want…”Wang Jingcheng handed the safe to Han Li.

Han Li nodded. “Thank you, Minister!”

Then, she pressed the safe button, entered the password with Wang Jingcheng’s help, and after fingerprint verification, opened the safe.

The contents of the safe were revealed one by one.

First of all, it was the top-grade cerulean spirit tea pf 50 grams!

This kind of spirit tea was made by picking the fresh shoots of the cerulean spirit tea at dawn and using its tips to stir-fry them.

It was the best of the cerulean spirit tea!

The global production might only be 100 grams per year!

This was half of the global annual production!

There was a reason why the production was so low!

This was because, although there were many azure tea trees, there were very few buds at dawn.

There were even fewer that could be accurately discovered, picked in time, and preserved.

Normally, in a azure tea garden, over a hundred tea trees might not even be able to successfully pick a single bud in a month!

There was no other way!

The buds of azure tea trees would grow into tea leaves a few seconds after the buds were plucked.

The ones that were picked later were the tea leaves, not the top-grade cerulean spirit tea.

Naturally, the effect of this kind of spirit tea was also excellent.

According to research, its effects in refreshing, recovering spirit power and physical strength, and calming the mind were several times better than ordinary cerulean spirit tea.

More importantly, the taste of this kind of cerulean spirit tea was incomparable.

It was known as the king of drinks!

Han Li held it and weighed it in her hand.

She beamed.

The owner of the bookstore in the fog loved drinking tea, so he would like this gift.

Then, Han Li picked up another thing that was wrapped in bamboo strips.

It was a plant root that looked like a lion’s head.

Han Li looked at it and touched it with trembling hands.

“Shangqing ginseng!”

“I can’t believe I really found it!”

“Yeah!” Wang Jingcheng also sighed, “I was lucky… Originally, this kind of spirit ginseng had already learned about human nature. It knows how to seek good fortune and avoid evil. It also knows how to hide in the ruins deep in the mountains…”

“But two months ago, when we recovered the three Jin dynasty, we accidentally obtained these two precious shangqing ginseng!”

The superior pure ginseng was a legend after the great aporkalypse.

Legend had it that in the old three Jin land, some ancient extinct plants were revived.

Among them, there was a type of ginseng that grew a lion’s head and could actively avoid people and danger.

Legend had it that as long as one could eat it, no matter what kind of injuries one suffered, one could recover and even prolong one’s life. It even had the effect of rejuvenating one’s youth!

Hence, it was named ‘superior purity ginseng’.

It was actually a celestial ginseng!

Unfortunately, this item had always been heard of.

Normally, after being caught, it would be eaten — no one would be willing to keep such a treasure for others.

This time, it was also the United Nations Security Council that paid special attention to such a treasure. They opened a reward box and only obtained these two stalks after receiving a generous reward.

Han Li put down the clear ginseng in her hand and looked at other things.

Five Peaches of immortality..

Ten illusory spirit mushrooms..

There were even clumps of gray fungus.

These fungus were the least valuable of all the items.

But Han Li had specifically asked for them.

Because she felt that the owner of the bookstore would definitely like them!

Gray spirit fungus.

This was its name. As the name implied, it was a type of gray fungus that grew on spirit wood.

This fungus had no other effects.

It only had one specialty: it was refreshing, crispy, and it went with everything.

All these things were packed in a bag.

Han Li looked at Wang Jingcheng and saluted, “Minister, I’m Going!”

“OK!” Wang Jingcheng nodded, full of expectation. “Colonel Han Li, take care!”

“En! “Han Li picked up her bag and said to Xiaoai, “Hey, you stay here. Minister Wang will take care of you…”

Xiaoai did not understand and asked, “Han Li, where are you going?”

“I’m going to a place to offer these gifts to a great and merciful existence…”

“I hope he will like it…”

“Then, he will allow me and my people to receive the protection of his servants…”

“And get his help to defeat the Abyss!”

Han Li didn’t want to hide this from Xiao Ai.

Xiaoai’s eyes lit up. “Han Li, can you take me there?”

Han Li lowered her head and remembered that the owner of the bookstore had asked about her brothers and sisters (people) .

“I don’t know…”Han Li remembered the terror in the fog.

People who didn’t have permission to enter without permission.

No matter how strong they were, no matter where they came from, they would die without a doubt!

Because in the fog, there were countless terrifying monsters!

They were the guards of the owner of the bookstore, and they were the cleaners and the guards protecting his house.

When they paid tribute that day, Han Li had seen with her own eyes how cautious and fearful those tribute teams were in the fog.

Even those things didn’t dare to act rashly in the fog, let alone Xiaoai.

Han Li understood that once the owner of the bookstore didn’t like Xiaoai, Xiao Ai would turn into a pool of blood at any moment.

“Then let me try!” Xiaoai said. She earnestly pleaded with Han Li, “Please! Han Li!”

The angel of the sky-piercer clan sensed that this might be a chance to completely change her fate!

“Alright…” Han Li looked at her. She also wanted to do a test.

To test the fog’s reaction to outsiders.

Of course…

Han Li said to her, “If anything goes wrong, I’ll tell you to run, and you’ll run right away…”

She, who was in the fog, had a little bit of face.

After all, the owner of the bookstore still favored her.

The Master of the Deep Space Sea and the silver key still favored her.

Therefore, she might not be able to bring Xiao Ai in directly, but she could still give Xiaoai a chance to escape.

Xiaoai nodded.

Wang Jingcheng was confused.

But in his heart, he quietly memorized everything.

…

The imperial city in the evening was dyed red by the setting sun.

Walking in the thousand-year-old ancient temple on the mountain peak, Li Shouyi suddenly turned his head and looked to the west.

“Another god is awakening…” he said.

Now, he had broken through his barrier and stepped into that mysterious realm.

He had a premonition that if he continued to walk forward, he would step into the realm of true mythical grade and legendary grade.

Therefpre, he was very sensitive to the perception of the world, especially such intense psionic power perception.

Cautiously, he tasted the psionic power ripples caused by the sudden awakening of the gods.

There was a hint of dominance in the holiness and a hint of greed in the dominance.

There was no doubt that in the mythical grade of land of Qin, there were only a few gods that could match such divinity.

“Inform the embassy in Vienna to pay close attention to the situation of the various temples in land of Qin…”

The God system of the land of Qin was divided into three parts.

The Greek gods, the Odin God system, and the ‘lord’ that was still deeply believed in by the people of the land of Qin.

That Lord had never woken up.

But one of the Angel Kings under him had woken up.

From two hundred years ago, this Archangel’s consciousness had been sitting in the Church of bones. He did not care about the affairs of the world, and no one knew what he was doing.

Legend had it that the Faran Emperor knew something, but he didn’t reveal it until he died.

After all, the Faran Emperor was still filial.

The other person who knew was Habsburg in Vienna.

Thinking of Habsburg, Li Shouyi laughed.

After the hundred-year war, land of Qin, under the attack of the Faran Emperor, began to integrate with the Holy Roman Empire.

Unfortunately, no matter how integrated it was, it was still that God.

It was neither holy nor Roman nor empire!

In the past two hundred years, generations after generations of Wise and strategic candidates had tried their best, but they were still unable to unite the entire land of Qin.

Of course, this was thanks to the ‘help’of the Federal Empire and Butania.

Nevertheless, their internal disunity was the biggest reason!

Land of Qin had always been like this since ancient times.

Faran, Prussia, Habsburg, Furanji, and Sicily all refused to submit to each other.

Therefore, a hundred years ago, the northern countries finally couldn’t take it anymore and simply announced their withdrawal from the Holy Roman Empire.

They even regained the faith of their ancestors.

The temple of Odin’s divine system was rebuilt.

Thinking of this, Li Shouyi suddenly asked the person beside him, “Your Highness… When do you plan to hold the National Fellowship Party?”

Compared to the matter of land of Qin, Li Shouyi naturally cared more about that person.

After all, even if that ‘master’ awakened, he didn’t need to worry.

Awakened Gods didn’t have long-term faith to protect them. Once they attacked, they would become meat on a sticky plate!

However, in the Federal Empire’s metropolitan territory, there was a powerful ancient god that was beyond imagination. He didn’t need faith at all and could attack without limit.

As for his matters…

No matter how careful he was, he couldn’t be too careful!

“Next month!” Crown Princess Rou’an said with a chuckle.

Li Shouyi nodded and suddenly asked, “Your Highness… Do you know anything about it?”

He looked at the eldest princess.

The relationship between the imperial family and the Ling family wasn’t simple at all!

Two hundred years ago, ling an, the ancestor of the Ling family, had specially entered the capital and handed in her resignation letter.

After that, the Jingchu Ling family underwent a drastic change.

Most of them had disappeared.

However, there was a branch of descendants that had migrated to Guangnan. Twenty-four years ago, the descendants of this branch had returned to their ancestral land and given birth to the current ancient god.

This was all the information the Blackguard had so far.

However, Li Shouyi knew…

Before the Blackguard had discovered the ancient god, the imperial family had already noticed him.

Considering that the ancestor of the Ling family had been a distinguished guest in the palace after the recovery of the Spirit Aura, all the concubines of the high sect had once had a close relationship with him.

Crown Princess Rou’an chuckled.

She didn’t answer Li Shouyi’s question, but pointed to the front. “Commander-in-chief… we’ve arrived at the Zijin Temple…”

Li Shouyi raised his head and saw the temple plaque in front of him. He smiled, knowing that this princess wouldn’t say anything.

It made sense. If the royal family really knew some things and clues, then they definitely wouldn’t say anything!

They wouldn’t be able to say anything!

There was a mysterious strength protecting that person’s matter.

What they knew was known, what they didn’t know would never be known!
