Chapter 36: 36th Chapter: What Did You See_1

People familiar with the history of the Shang Dynasty generally avoid using the term "Zhou King," preferring to call him Emperor Xin instead.

Emperor Xin had many achievements, but few know of them.

Of course, you’re keenly aware that, whether in historical texts or the novel "The Investiture of the Gods," the narrative has mostly been influenced by the Zhou people. Since ancient times, history is written by the victors—an individual’s merits and faults are conjecture and supposition by later generations.

In the following scenes, a figure appeared repeatedly, a woman, a woman so beautiful that you couldn’t take your eyes off her.

Her name was Daji, Emperor Xin’s Queen.

Here, despite her beauty being the downfall of a nation, she was neither bloodthirsty nor wanton; she was just an ordinary woman.

In the end, everyone knows what happened—Emperor Xin ignited the fire and enveloped himself in the flames with his beloved woman, standing at the place where their love had been pledged.

For some reason, as the story concluded, you suddenly felt a stinging in your eyes and, without meaning to, a tear fell.

When you came to your senses, you found everyone around you was still there, with Du Xishan and the tall beautiful woman both watching you.

"What did you see?"

Du Xishan suddenly asked.

Suppressing the emotions in your heart, you said to him, "Just a tragically beautiful love story, with protagonists who are household names."

"Who?" another person eagerly asked.

"Emperor Xin and Daji."

"Hmph, pure fiction, boasting without basis," Du Xihai scoffed from the side.

Damn it!

You immediately said to Du Xishan, "Professor Du, should I punch this jerk?"

Du Xishan, lacking your sense of humor, ignored Du Xihai and hastily asked, "Are you certain it was the two of them?"

"Absolutely, positively, and definitely."

Du Xishan sighed softly and said, "It seems we can confirm that the White Jade thumb ring is from the Shang Dynasty, and its owner must have been Emperor Xin. Could it be that he’s the one trapping us here?"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing what Du Xishan said, you frowned and immediately asked, "Professor Du, you said you’re trapped here?"

"That’s right." Du Xishan nodded, pointing to the door you entered through, "If you don’t believe me, try leaving now."

To try is to do. Handing the White Jade thumb ring back to the tall beauty, you walked toward the door.

To tell you the truth, ever since your eyes started seeing those things, you’ve grown increasingly brave. Even if something were to jump out at you now, you probably wouldn’t—"Wahhh!"

Suddenly!

A head floated past right before your eyes!

It was a man’s head, hovering in mid-air, with hair hanging straight down, as long as a person is tall.

Half of his face was concealed by black hair, but even so, it looked fairly spooky.

"Mu Yun, what did you see?"

Du Xishan and the others were startled by your sudden reaction.

Right now, you had no time to attend to Du Xishan because the floating head had already opened its eyes—and they were green!

"Hiss—"

The man’s head suddenly opened its mouth full of tusks and lunged at you!

With your quick wits, you had already sensed it coming, so when it lunged, you dodged to the side.

As the man’s head spun around to follow you, you hurriedly bit open your right hand’s finger and quickly pulled a piece of yellow talisman paper from your pocket, on which you swiftly drew a magic seal.

When the man’s head lunged at you again, you accurately seized the opportunity, spun around, and slapped the talisman paper onto the forehead of the man’s head!

"Eeek—ahhh!!!"

This time, it wasn’t just you. Du Xishan and the other three also heard the horrifying scream.

Once the man’s head fell to the ground, Du Xihai screamed like a woman: "Ahh!!! What is this thing?!"

Du Xishan’s reaction was much better than Du Xihai’s. Instead of franticly retreating, he calmly approached, with a curious look on his face, and asked you, "Was that the thing attacking you just now?"

"Mm."

You nodded your head and saw Du Xishan about to touch the man’s head. You quickly said, "Don’t touch it! This thing is only temporarily trapped by me. To completely destroy it, we must call a professional."

Hearing this, Du Xishan looked up at you and asked, "Professional?"

You shrugged your shoulders and said with a smile, "Aren’t Taoists and monks the experts in this industry?"

Du Xishan wasn’t in the mood for jokes and immediately asked, "What is this thing?"

"I don’t know either; it’s my first time encountering something like this."

While speaking, your gaze inadvertently drifted over to the tall beauty and you suddenly spotted a headless male corpse standing not far behind her. Without a second thought, you dashed towards her.

Before the tall beauty could react, you grabbed her arm, pulled her away, and quickly retreated with her.

"What’s happened now?"

Du Xishan quickly stood up while Du Xihai and another man ran over to his side, each looking intently at you with tense expressions.

Just as you were about to speak, you were shocked to find limbs and severed body parts appearing non-stop in your field of vision! Most of them were missing arms or legs, disfigured, and looked extremely horrifying. In the blink of an eye, these things appeared out of nowhere and quickly filled the room.

These things, neither human nor ghost, seemed to lack their own consciousness and, being summoned by something, slowly enveloped you five in a siege.

"Li Muyun, what the hell is going on?" Du Xihai grabbed your left arm; the guy must have been scared witless, gripping your arm with tremendous strength," Speak, darn it, what in the world is happening?!"

Even though Du Xihai was an idiot, he was after all a normal person and could feel the strange atmosphere permeating the air.

"So annoying!"

You squeezed the blood from the tip of your finger and dotted two spots on Du Xihai’s eyelids.

When Du Xihai opened his eyes, he gasped sharply, and then, as if someone was strangling his throat, his neck twisted and he just fainted.

Next, you opened the yin and yang eyes for the other three. Compared to Du Xihai, their reactions were not bad; they were all pale-faced but at least they didn’t faint.

You led Du Xishan and the other three in constant retreat, and soon you were cornered.

"Mu Yun, think of something quick!"

Du Xishan seemed to know you could solve the situation and urgently shouted.

You smiled at him and said, "Professor Du, didn’t I hear you say you were going to deduct my credits earlier?"

"No, no, that was just a joke," Du Xishan hurriedly explained.

"How about you add a few extra credits for me? Let’s say ten."

Du Xishan looked at you with a very interesting expression and pointed at you, taking quite some time before he managed to say, "I take back my previous view of you; aside from looking a bit like your dad, in other respects you’re exactly like your mom!"
