"It seems to be saying that blood is needed?"

So he bit his finger, dripped a few drops of blood onto the bolt of the box.

pat-

The latch on the box came loose, and the items piled inside spilled out. Fortunately, Nan Yun Yuyue reacted quickly and prevented them from falling to the ground.

He looked down and saw that the box contained many yellowed silk booklets, which were not large in size, but when unfolded, they were almost half a person tall.

The silk surface is soft and delicate, and the workmanship is exquisite, but it looks very old after being worn by time.

Moreover, many of these scrolls are very dilapidated, with many parts charred black, as if they had been burned by a fire before being rescued. Many of the characters are no longer clearly legible.

Nan Yun Yuyue gently placed the silk booklets that had almost fallen off on top of the box, only then suddenly realizing:

Tucked inside the silk fabric was a very elaborate piece of letter paper.

The letter paper had silver glitter edging, and the handwriting on it was wild and unrestrained, but still barely legible.

“So it’s these things!”

Nanyun Yuyue's pupils shrank suddenly.

Chapter 92 The Burned Past, Lyrics of Spring Shadow (6k)

Nan Yun Yuyue looked down at the contents of the silk booklet.

It is covered with ancient Japanese characters, which are complex and elegant, forming a continuous poem. Unfortunately, many parts are missing, making it difficult to read coherently.

At the same time, these scrolls also contain images resembling murals.

The figures in the painting are all dressed in feathered robes, their faces blurred, yet they all exude a transcendent tranquility. Some are flying apsaras dancing down from the clouds, while others, wearing ancient crowns, kneel on the ground with a forest of sacrificial vessels in front of them.

The style of the mural is similar to that of Dunhuang, but it also has a touch of Japanese Shinto influence.

Nan Yunyuyue didn't quite understand the meaning of the letter at first, until he saw the letter tucked among the scrolls.

"What's this."

He was a little curious, and then immediately pulled it out of the middle.

next moment,

Nan Yun Yu Yue's pupils contracted.

The writing above is rather wild, and it's clear that the owner's thoughts were flowing quickly when writing it, and that the pen was moving at a hurried pace.

Furthermore, although it is written on letter paper, the text is not formatted like a letter; rather, it resembles an essay without a fixed format.

The family shrine was burned down today.

I was involved.

[The Emperor set fire to several places around the shrine, showing how much he loathed it.]

"This is about Uesugi Koshi burning down the family shrine, right?"

Nan Yun Yu Yue thought to herself, and continued looking down.

However, I was taken aback when he casually set fire to the shrine's library.

[It contains many secrets about the dragon race known to the family.]

[Ha, these things are like toilet paper; you can say they're useless, but sometimes you can't do without them.]

So, while he continued burning down other buildings at the shrine, I quietly slipped inside and salvaged some of the ancient scrolls.

"I wipe!"

He was shocked.

Nan Yun Yu Yue naturally knew that among the eight families of Sheqi, there were ancient records about the bloodline of the White King, which contained some stories of the dragon clan.

However, much of this information was destroyed by Uesugi Kotsugu when he left the family, and even the current head of the Snake Clan cannot restore the original text.

Unexpectedly, on the day Uesugi Koshi burned down the shrine, Inuyama He managed to salvage a portion of the scrolls.

After being rescued, I discovered a problem.

Where should we put these silk booklets?

I want to find a secluded place to store them, but I'm worried about the age of these scrolls. After all, they're so old, they're almost crumbling.

Fortunately, the Inuyama family had some savings, and I eventually found an alchemy box that had been left behind sometime in the past.

"That's it..."

Nan Yun Yuyue casually patted the box placed to the side, making a 'thump thump' sound.

This artifact was crafted in an unknown era, by an unknown "emperor" within the family, and can be used to preserve items for extended periods.

The box remained open the entire time; it was never closed.

[Because once it's closed, the conditions for reopening it are extremely stringent; only those with a bloodline rank of 'Emperor' can reopen it.]

If someone tries to open it without reaching the 'Emperor' bloodline rank, it will only trigger a self-destruct program, causing it to destroy everything inside.

So in the end, I put all of these things here, along with a copy of my notes.

If a true emperor is ever born in the family in the future, and if the Inuyama family still exists at that time, I will personally hand this box to him.

【Inuyama He】

[Left in 1945]

Nan Yun Yuyue looked at the words above and remained silent for a moment.

No wonder Inuyama He placed this box here; it turns out that the box's creator had already considered this situation and set strict restrictions on it—only an emperor could open it.

If an ordinary hybrid obtained it, they would not discover any of its secrets.

And if you try to forcibly break it open to take out what's inside, it will only cause it to self-destruct.

"I never imagined there were such alchemical creations..."

Nanyun Yuyue's thoughts drifted.

"In that case... I roughly know what's written on these scrolls."

He looked down at the scrolls again. Many of them were incomplete, making it extremely difficult to understand their contents.

But if we were to hire relevant experts to repair it... wait, there probably aren't any experts in this field in Japan anymore.

After all, someone who understands ancient Japanese, knows the history of the White King, and is a member of the Snake-Headed Eight Families is practically an impossible triangle, and ordinary people simply cannot explore the secrets behind it.

"The writing on this... is quite complicated..."

Nan Yun Yuyue had a bit of a headache.

Most of the ancient Japanese characters above are historical characters from the Manyogana period. At that time, the Japanese people made initial modifications to the Chinese characters to adapt them to the characteristics of Japanese pronunciation and grammar.

At this stage of historical development, the entire Japanese writing system was very chaotic. Unlike now, where you can glance at a word and know what it means, you had to look at each word carefully.

He originally intended to take the scrolls inside the small box back to study them at his leisure.

However, with the building under attack and the entire power system cut off, the Snake Clan must have realized what happened, and the Executive Bureau members are probably already on their way.

In addition, there are many scrolls preserved here, and because of their age and the materials used, they cannot be easily bent. Even if he wanted to take them secretly, he would be easily detected.

Even if you're just taking pictures, with so many scrolls laid out here, it's difficult to get a complete shot with just a mobile phone in a short time.

"How to do it……"

Nan Yun Yuyue glanced back, then her gaze returned to what was in front of her.

He turned to the next page and suddenly noticed a mural that took up half of the page.

The painting features a huge tree that occupies the center of the entire artwork.

Its branches twist and turn as if they are about to tear the sky apart, while its leaves are shaped like flames, half burning and half withered.

Several shamans dressed in ancient costumes sat around the tree. Their faces were blurred, their expressions solemn, and each held a different ritual implement in their hands: a drum, a mirror, a knife, and a bell.

Nan Yunyu was a little confused. He was thinking about something when suddenly his mind went blank.

Consciousness is rising.

He felt his consciousness detach from his body, and time seemed to reverse at that moment, with the historical scroll slowly unfolding on the scroll.

boom!

now,

Nan Yun Yuyue felt as if she were in the gap of some historical fragment, watching everything below from a third-person perspective.

This is an epic scene.

Before them was a brutal war, with the Black-Winged Dragon King locked in fierce combat with the White King, who was of equal rank. Blood stained the earth. After an unknown amount of time, the Black King finally defeated the creature before him and bound it to a bronze pillar.

wow——

The Black King was furious. Its wings suddenly spread out into the sky, and it let out an angry roar.

Finally, He sealed the White King in the coldest land, and under the Emperor's authority, even the ocean currents were diverted.

This is the White King's prison, and also his execution ground.

The world was covered in frost and snow.

I don’t know how long it took.

A human figure appeared here.

He didn't know how he signed a contract with the White Emperor and obtained the 'Holy Infant' from Him.

That is, the White King's 'blood and bones'.

Time flies by again.

At the end of the Sixth Age, the White King's power seemed to have been exhausted. The Black King sank it, along with the bronze pillar, into an underwater volcano, turning it to ashes and reclaiming the power he had been given.

…………

The scene ends here.

Nan Yun Yu Yue's thoughts returned.

Although the images that appeared in my mind lasted for a long time, only a moment passed in reality.

He was utterly shocked.

"I never expected it to be the Imperial Annals."

The Imperial Records are documents that were previously kept in the old shrine of the Eight Families of Hebi, recording a lost history from ancient times.

However, the content above is no longer complete, and even if others try to repair it, they cannot restore it to its original state.

Unexpectedly, after I focused my gaze on it, the scene in my 'view' suddenly changed, revealing this part of history in its entirety.

at the same time,

Before Nanon Ugetsu's eyes, the long-absent control panel rose up once more:

You have witnessed a hidden historical secret, completing a piece of the puzzle of an era. Free skill points +1

[Progress towards unlocking 'The Burial Ground of Gods' (3/6)]

!

He glanced at it, and the contents almost made him freeze on the spot.

The content on this panel hasn't been updated in a long time. Ever since he helped Ruoye Mu to avoid losing control, the progress towards opening the Burial Ground of Gods has been stuck at (2/6).

Unexpectedly, today, after being attacked on the way to Inuyama's house to sign the contract, I actually managed to advance the progress of unlocking it by one step in this very place.

"I never thought there was a way to move things forward like this..."

Nanyun Yuyue's thoughts drifted.

Previously, he always thought that only by helping the mixed-race people he was familiar with to prevent them from getting out of control could he advance the progress above.

This requirement is undeniably demanding. One must have had some interaction with that mixed-race person and time it perfectly to coincide with the moment when she is about to lose control in order to meet the requirement.

As a result, today, after he came into contact with such a secret, it seemed that his bloodline received some kind of mysterious perception, and even the progress of the Burial Ground of Gods was successfully advanced.

"It seems I'll need to study these historical records more in the future..."
