Chapter 45: The Time of Change

Chen An looked at Song Ziyang and didn't know what to say.

Qualifications are really disappointing.

The same thing is put in front of you, others may complete it in a few days, but it will take you a lifetime.

If Chen An hadn't been very cunning, with his original qualifications, he might still be doing nothing in the Sanhe Gang, and it would be impossible for him to get ahead.

If you think about it this way, Chen An can understand Song Ziyang's frustration.

"There is no perfect path for man."

He opened his mouth and said: "There are many ways in this world, but it is definitely not just one of practicing martial arts."

"Brother Song is a talented person in this world, and he is also an immortal. He will definitely be extraordinary in the future."

He thought for a long time and finally could only say this.

"The Queen of Immortals is no different from ordinary people."

Song Ziyang smiled bitterly and said: "If this immortal is really useful in the future, the royal family of the Liang Kingdom will not be idle like this."

"In today's Liang Kingdom, if the emperor's edict leaves the royal capital, how many people will listen to it?"

"However, things have indeed changed a lot in recent years..."

He sighed, and then said: "In the past hundreds of years, the immortals have long since disappeared, and most of them only have a few legends left."

"But in recent years, for some unknown reason, these objects related to gods and gods have been collected crazily."

"The outside world has also changed. In recent years, not only have there been more and more mysterious things, but the number of strange beasts in the wild has also increased."

"Perhaps as my master said, another time of change is coming."

"A time of change..."

Chen An poured a glass of wine for Song Ziyang and asked curiously: "What does this mean?"

"It is a set of knowledge summarized by the ancients."

Song Ziyang waved his hand, his face was a little rosy, and he looked a little drunk: "The moon waxes and wanes, and when people are old and young, the heaven and earth naturally have the same."

"The sages of ancient times believed that the heaven and earth are constantly changing. Every moment there are extremely small changes, which accumulate little by little, and then the thunder, rain, and dew appear."

"As small as the flow of fog, as large as the change of seasons, they are all the result of the accumulation of changes in the heaven and earth to a certain extent."

"And when these changes accumulate to a certain extent, it will also cause the heaven and earth to enter different states."

Song Ziyang smiled: "So at a certain time, the heaven and earth fell into silence. During this period, the immortals became extinct. Then there was a period of time when the immortals became active, so the term Ji came into being."

"The node of every era is the so-called time of change."

Speaking of this, he smiled: "Perhaps we are now in a period of change, and a new era will soon come, so the world will also change accordingly."

Chen An listened carefully, and his expression gradually changed.

What Song Ziyang said, if heard by others, they might think it is nonsense and just treat it as a joke.

But it sounded different to Chen An.

This world is indeed changing all the time. If it were in the previous life, the stars would be constantly rotating and in motion all the time.

It is precisely because of this change that there are changes in the four seasons and the greatness of all phenomena.

There are people in this world who also realize the essence of this.

So, are there really so-called immortals in this world?

It seems entirely possible.

The warriors have already appeared, so what's wrong with the appearance of another immortal?

Moreover, if a warrior reaches a high and deep place, in the eyes of mortals, he will probably be no different from an immortal, right?

Chen An thought silently.

In front of him, Song Ziyang was still drinking.

It seems that he has been very depressed during this period, and now that he has relaxed, he can no longer hold himself tight.

Chen An just looked at him lying on the table, and then called someone to send Song Ziyang to the room.

The next day, Chen An came to visit again, only to find that Song Ziyang had left.

Song Ziyang left without saying hello and said nothing before leaving.

In his room, Chen An saw the ruby, which was placed on the bedside by Song Ziyang. It seemed that it was specially left for Chen An.

"He is a person who knows how to repay kindness."

Looking at the ruby ​​in his hand, Chen An shook his head and didn't know what to say.

Putting the gems away, Chen An turned and left.

The market outside is still bustling with activity as usual, with crowds of people everywhere and silhouettes of people everywhere.

Chen An thought for a while, found a nearby bookstore, and took a look inside.

Although this world is still a little backward, printing and paper have appeared, and there are also bookstores that specialize in selling books, and the number is not small.

However, the price is still a bit expensive, generally costing half a tael of silver, which is far from common people.

If you were really an ordinary person, you might not be willing to come here to buy books.

I picked a few books at random and went home. Chen An opened them and read them.

These books were deliberately selected by him, and they are all related to the legends of immortals and gods.

Three of the five books were made up of stories and were directly put aside by Chen An.

"...the ancient sages can ward off ghosts and gods, preach to the great thousands, and destroy the country in a rage..."

Opening the book, Chen An was stunned when he saw the description of the ancient sages.

Can a country be destroyed by anger?

Is this still a human being?

Chen An opened the book in front of him and looked at it carefully.

The book is full of reverence for the ancient sages. If the various descriptions in it can really be achieved, I am afraid they are not real immortals and gods.

Or is it that the so-called sages of this world are actually ancient immortals?

It seems possible.

Chen An closed the book and was thoughtful.

Those who can be called sages must be extremely outstanding and brilliant, and may even be called the most elite figures of an era.

In that era of previous lives, sages may only refer to wisdom and knowledge, but in this world...

In addition to wisdom, the most outstanding person must have the power to suppress everything.

Otherwise, others will give you physics before you finish explaining your reasoning.

What kind of preaching is this, and what traces will it leave behind?

So from this point of view, unlike the legends about immortals hiding in the world in previous lives, if there really are so-called immortals in this world, they must have been people who shone brightly in the past and were even called sages.

"I wonder if those sages left any orthodox traditions or anything like that..."

With this thought in his mind, Chen An began to think about these sages and orthodox ideas again.

He lacks nothing now except the Dharma.

If those sages who were suspected of being gods really left behind Taoist traditions, then Chen An would definitely try his best to get them.

Unfortunately, I can only think about it.

After flipping through the book in his hand, Chen An continued to flip through other books.

After reading the two books, Chen An discovered that people in this world had clear records of ancient immortals, and there was no scene of immortals hiding in the world like Chen An imagined.

There are various signs that this world may have had an era when immortals were at their peak, which is why these rich records and proofs were left behind.

It's just that now, immortals have been extinct for so long that although there are records, most of them don't take them seriously anymore.

After flipping through the book, Chen An took out two things.

A simple topaz jade pendant that seems to have some thought, and a red gemstone.

Both items were obtained from Song Ziyang. Needless to say, the gems. As for the jade pendant, according to Song Ziyang himself, it was left to him by his teacher. I am afraid it is also an object related to immortals.

Both items are suspected to be related to legendary immortals.

Chen An placed it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully for a moment before choosing to give up.

No matter from any angle, he could not see the abnormality of these two things.

It's as if these two things are really just ordinary objects.

But being able to relate to immortals, these two things are obviously not that simple.

I just don’t know how to tap out the value of these two things.

This thought flashed through Chen An's mind, and then he silently put away his things and prepared to return to where he lived.

Time is still passing by, and soon more than a month has passed.

There is a very spacious place in Shangyuan County.

"Is this it?"
