The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 777 Dark Territory
Since the Emperor and Concubine Ning wanted to use him and didn't tell him the details, Zhao Chen felt that there was no need to be too polite to them. Otherwise, it would appear that he was too easy to talk to, which would make them even more aggressive.

Therefore, one must fight for the benefits that should be fought for, and this is also the fundamental reason why he had just tested Concubine Ning without any hesitation.

Of course, Concubine Ning was obviously also evaluating him, otherwise he would not be the only one placed in that valley and had to make it all the way here.

——The Emperor and Concubine Ning probably knew some of his background, but definitely not all.

This can also be considered an invisible game.

After all, the only bond between the two parties is Ning Meng, and the foundation of mutual trust is very weak.

Ningpin didn't expect Zhao Chen to ask about the "Strange Domain". She asked in surprise, "Master Chen, are you interested in the reason why the 'Strange Domain' was formed?"

Zhao Chen seemed to ask casually, but in fact his attention was on Concubine Ning. He found that her reaction was very normal, without even a slightly violent emotional fluctuation. He could only sigh secretly: "It seems that Concubine Ning is not a time traveler."

Although he was a little disappointed, Zhao Chen didn't show it on the surface. He just nodded and said, "I am indeed very interested."

Ningpin stared at him for a few seconds, then chuckled and asked, "Sir, you know that the 'Strange Domain' was created by the evil spirit 'Strange', right?"

"I know..." Zhao Chen nodded slightly, and then took the initiative to add, "I also know that the 'weirdness' is hidden deep in the 'black domain', but there is more than one source of this evil, one of which is the 'blood moon'."

"Sir, you know a lot. You should know that many young 'Dongxuan' masters don't have this understanding of 'weirdness'." Ningpin was a little surprised, but considering Zhao Chen's "identity", she was relieved and continued to organize her sentences, "Since you know about the 'Black Domain', it's easy to explain.

"To put it simply, the domain opened up by 'Weird' by intercepting the knowledge in the 'Black Domain' is the 'Weird Domain'.

"The rules in the 'Weird Domain' are partially controlled by the 'Weird' itself, but they are also affected by the knowledge intercepted in the 'Black Domain'.

"The knowledge and rules contained in the 'Black Domain' are often disorganized, and most of the demons and evil spirits are irrational, which results in the 'Strange Domain' that most people encounter being very different from the real world. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as bizarre, so this type of demon and evil spirit is named 'weird'.

"Of course, the knowledge contained in the 'Black Domain' is not all 'weird'. Some of the 'intercepted' and more coherent scenes can even help people explore the secrets of the world or obtain other valuable knowledge.

"For example, some 'strange domains' are based on some lost 'history'. Although there may be some differences from the real history, they still have great reference value.

“For example, some technological items such as the ‘steam engine’ cannot be reproduced in reality, but many of them have been integrated into our current lives.

"And this scene right now may come from some lost history..."

Ningpin paused, glanced at the blonde woman "Jill" who looked similar to her, and said in a strange tone, "As for this 'Jill', since I want to guide you here, I set her appearance, but her name comes from the 'Black Domain'... But is it important whether she is called 'Jill' or not?"

In other words, the "Black Domain" contains the knowledge of my past life? Could it be that the "Black Domain" was really opened up by the Star God, a suspected time traveler, and his memories are hidden in it? But that doesn't make sense. The "Black Domain" obviously contains knowledge after the "Star God" disappeared, such as the so-called "lost history".

After thinking carefully, Zhao Chen asked again: "Do you know where the knowledge contained in the 'Black Domain' comes from?"

"I'm not sure about this..." Ningpin shook her head first, then hesitated and said, "But I have heard that the 'Black Domain' is actually the 'shadow' of Xuantian, representing the side of Xuantian where the order and rules are invalid.

"Some 'teleportation'-type magical powers are achieved by utilizing the 'disorder' characteristic of the 'black domain' in space... But this is also like most other 'teleportation'-type magical powers. It can only be used within the territory of Daxia. Once you leave the protection of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Chen Great Array', it will be difficult for even a 'Dong Xuan' master to protect himself from the dangers in the 'black domain'."

Xuantian's shadow... a world without order? But the "Starcraft Accessories" can open up a passage with "order" in the "black domain"!

It seems that the "Black Domain" is really inseparable from the "Star God". Even if he did not open it up, he definitely participated in it.

A thoughtful look appeared on Zhao Chen's face, and he was thinking that he would study the "mysterious domain" created by "Miss Shen" carefully when he had time in the future.

"Do you have any other questions?" Ningpin smiled again at this time, "Don't be too anxious. The flow of time in this 'strange domain' is much slower than in reality. We have plenty of time."

Hearing this, Zhao Chen retracted his thoughts and thought carefully before saying, "Since Concubine Ning cannot reveal His Majesty's specific plans, then the relevant intelligence should be fine, right?"

"You don't need to ask this actually. His Majesty will hint to you in some way if he can." Concubine Ning waved her hand, obviously not wanting to answer such a question.

For example, let that eunuch tell me palace secrets like the queen's infidelity?
Zhao Chen complained in his heart, and completely gave up the idea of ​​getting information directly from Concubine Ning, and asked something else: "What do you know about the four goddesses of the past, the 'Flower Goddess', the 'Maple Goddess', the 'Snow Goddess', and the 'Spring Goddess'?
"What kind of beings are they?"

"Why are you asking this?" Ning Concubine showed a surprised expression again, but she soon realized something and said, "Yes, although not many people heard what the fake Buddha of 'Xinguang Temple' said before leaving Sima's house, the Zheng family must know...

“Well, but my understanding of these four old goddesses is also very limited. I only know that they are all closely related to the Star God and assisted the Star God in suppressing the ancient gods who wreaked havoc on the human world in the early ancient times.

"The Star Gods no longer appear before and after humans, and they disappear one after another...

“It was not until the founder of the Flower God Sect accidentally found the Flower God’s divine body that people nowadays are sure that the four old goddesses really exist.”

Zhao Chen knew most of what Ningpin said, but there was only one thing that concerned him: "Ancient gods from the early ancient times?"

“Although we are accustomed to calling the Tang Dynasty before the Jiashen Change the ancient times, there were actually many eras and dynasties before the Tang Dynasty, which are also classified as ancient times.

"In the earliest period of these dynasties, there was actually a mythological era. At that time, there were many ancient gods. For example, the four great villains currently worshipped by the Four Evil Hall may have been inextricably linked to those ancient gods."
