No need for Lao Bai to remind me, I have already turned the parchment over with a short knife. The pages of parchment are cut into even sizes. At a glance, there are nearly a hundred pages, and they are sewn together with thread, just like the thread binding in ancient times.

It's the same as the book, but the threads have long been rotten. After Lao Bai and I picked and picked them for a long time, they were already overwhelmed and broke with a few "cracks".

So, I had to pull the scattered parchments apart in order.

The first page, which looks like a book cover, has three words written on it - exotic country!

Putting aside those modern scientific knowledge, I think I have read a lot of weird and ancient books. Living in such a family, not reading those weird things is equivalent to pushing yourself into a dead end. However, I never thought of the name of this book.

I have never heard of it, and the text on it is not printed by woodblock printing during the Tang Dynasty. It is completely handwritten. It is easy to draw a conclusion - this is an only copy, and it is most likely that Guo Xun wrote it.

A record of my experiences while traveling across the oceans.

In this way, the value is higher!

The fonts on this are very standard traditional Chinese characters. Even Shunzi can recognize many of them. Although they are some obscure ancient texts, it should be much easier than deciphering the weird syllables of the sharks like the roar of beasts. For those of us,

It was no big deal, and they all fell silent, gathering in a circle and picking up the parchment scattered on the ground. Even Lao Bai, a loudmouthed man, was rare and silent.

As I expected, the content at the beginning of this book completely confirms that this is a travel diary written by Guo Xun himself.

However, the more we watched, the weirder our expressions became.

How should I put it, the very beginning of this book does not record any substantive content, and a large part of it is similar to Guo Xun's inner monologue.

And this part of the content completely subverted the image of Guo Xun in my impression.

Guo Xun is not found in the annals of history, but he has left many traces whether it is in Taoism or legends. Simply judging from his behavior, this is really not a good bird.

The son of a cruel official, his father, Guo Ba, grabbed shit and stuffed it into his mouth in order to get promoted. He also tasted it loudly and was ruthless. From this point on, Guo Xun completely inherited his father's style. In order to achieve his own

For the purpose, he jumped up in front of the public, took off his clothes, and brandished his sword from the palace. Emperor Xuanzong angrily scolded him for being a trapper, but finally complied with his wishes. He must have been shocked. In this world, the kind of people who are so cruel to themselves

People who are good should always make others respect them.

With these things on the table, who would say he is a good person?

But looking at his inner monologue, he looks like a great pioneer!!

Among them, the most typical translation into modern vernacular is probably like this.

"The so-called prosperous age is only a prosperous age for wealthy people, but not a prosperous age for the vast number of people. It has always been a prosperous age where rich people have wine and meat, and bones are frozen to death on the road. I have lived in Middle-earth for ten or twenty years, and I have seen the grand occasion of all nations coming to court.

, and also heard the lamentations of the people under the rule.

The moment my father died, I suddenly realized that this place was not my paradise.

I want to leave here, the world is very big, and find a way to save the world.

I heard that there is an island belonging to the gods in the vast sea. Maybe I should go find them and ask them for guidance.

So, I started to prepare early, said goodbye to my family, and embarked on an unknown journey."

After reading this paragraph, Lao Bai raised his head and grinned: "How is it? Is it great?"

I shook my head secretly. When Qingzhu told me about this incident, she told me that Guo Xun went to sea to pray for his family. His father Guo Ba's death was so strange that people couldn't help but suspect that it was a ghost seeking his life.

, after all, it seems reasonable for a cruel official to encounter such a thing. Now it seems that Guo Xun's purpose of going to sea is somewhat inconsistent with this statement, but it is his personal ambition.

"I'm too lazy to watch him brag."

Lao Bai sneered and used a short knife to pull a page of parchment in front of us: "Look, this is the main text. It mentions an ancient country called Diren Country."

"One of the thirty-six overseas countries!"

Zhang Xinya exclaimed and hurriedly said: "According to legend, people from the Di Ren Kingdom are fish-tailed people. According to legend, they are descendants of the ancient Shennong family!"

I was also shocked when I heard that.

Qingzhu once told me that many legendary places once existed, such as the fairy mountains and islands overseas. However, they were not as mysterious as the legends. They were all ancient relics of the past, but they were not recorded in human written records.

That's it. After all, it's only been two or three thousand years since humans began to use words to record things, but humans have been around for millions of years. There was a long and too long blank period. During this blank period, what happened?

What happened? Are humans really just confused?

I think millions of years may not be so peaceful!

The thirty-six overseas countries happened to be in this blank period. Qingzhu also said that those fairy mountains and islands are actually related to these ancient countries. Several places that Tianmeng has explored in the past have already proved this, because it is so far away from now.

For too long, only legends remained. The more they spread, the more mysterious they became. In the end, they could only be associated with gods. In fact, it was far less exaggerated.

Regarding the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, I have experienced and learned more than once. Before I came here, Qingzhu said that this place would most likely be the same, and in the end it actually came true.

"Di Ren Country...is this the paradise that Guo Xun found?"

I whispered to myself and said softly: "According to legend, the people of the Di Ren Kingdom are fish-tailed people. Could it be that the sharks we saw before are actually the old and young of the Di Ren Kingdom?"

"That's not the case..."

Lao Bai tapped the parchment lightly with his short knife: "Guo Xun told everything about this ancient country in detail..."

I shook my head and stopped thinking. The time in the past was too long. Even many things in the Qin and Han Dynasties are ambiguous now, let alone going back further. It is human nature to trace the origins. This kind of thing has

Magic power, if you really think about it, there is too much room for imagination. I may not be able to get the answer even if I sit cross-legged like an old monk in meditation for two or three months. I will stop and continue reading the content on the parchment.

Nearly half of the entire book records things related to this ancient country.

From the appearance point of view, this Diren country is no different from the people we have today!!

However, the ruins of this sea under the sea are not the former site of the Di Ren Kingdom. The real location of the Di Ren Kingdom should be an island in the sea!!

Guo Xun made it very clear that this Di Ren country is very good at domesticating some weird things and using these weird things to work for them.

The Di Ren Kingdom discovered the sharks in the water and domesticated the sharks, allowing them to defend their maritime territories.

In addition, they also domesticated a strange kind of ape and asked these apes to farm for them.

Also, this Di people's country is not an empire, but rather like ancient Rome before Octavian. It has a Senate-like existence. Its members come from the people and ultimately decide the direction of the entire country. This system greatly amazed Guo Xun.

He admired it, and he felt that this was the paradise of the people. However, he did not know that ancient Rome moved towards the imperial system after the end of the Senate, and then ushered in its most glorious moment. Under the circumstances at that time, the so-called Senate system was nonsense.

.

In addition, this country is also very good at smelting. Because apes have replaced farming, manpower has been liberated, so it is very good at other technologies. It vigorously develops technology, and the structure is somewhat similar to modern times...

After reading this, I breathed a sigh of relief. This matter is not as mysterious as we imagined. Although the technological development of this so-called Di Renguo is indeed good, it has not yet reached the level before the industrial revolution, and the weapons are still cold weapons.

At least the impact on my heart is not that terrifying...

"Oh, interesting..."

Suddenly, Zhang Xinya pushed a piece of parchment in front of us: "Look at this paragraph, it's interesting. You thought he was some kind of pioneer, but it turned out that he was just a traitor. After going around in a big circle, he finally told his story.

Purpose……"
