Establish your mind for heaven and earth.

To make a living for the people.

To continue the unique learning for the Holy Spirit.

Create peace for all generations.

These four sentences from Hengqu can be regarded as the necessary golden sentences for time travelers to show off.

Of course, this couldn’t be pretended during the Chongzhen period.

Because the author Zhang Zai lived in the Northern Song Dynasty, more than five hundred years have passed since then.

All the scholars in later generations know these four sentences.

In this world, demons and evils abound, humanity is in decline, and all living beings are suffering.

God's will is lost, gods and Buddhas are no longer visible, and humanity is at the point of life and death.

Bai Xin may be able to cleanse the world and bring peace and order to the world.

But if he wants to restore the world to normal, he cannot do it alone as a savior.

If the root problem is not solved, his presence can protect a corner of the world, but if he leaves, it won't be long before it collapses again.

So from the very beginning, he never thought of being a savior.

Every man has his share of responsibility for the rise and fall of humanity.

He wants to make the human race stronger.

Before that, people need pioneers to cut through the thorns and open up the way forward, and guides to point out the direction and gather the wishes of the people.

Bai Yin used the Four Sentences of Hengqu to buff Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen, letting them know their mission.

In fact, it doesn't have to be them, other people who dare to fight can also be there.

It was just that Bai Xin happened to meet these two people.

Besides, Yan Chixia has been recognized by Xuanyuan Sword and is the most suitable candidate.

But Ning Caichen said, "Mr. Bai, whenever there was chaos in history, many books written by ancient sages were lost."

"The world is in chaos now, and it is urgent to carry on the legacy of the ancient sages. This is the foundation for the development of our humanity."

Bai Xin put the Xuanyuan Sword back into the sword case and nodded, "Indeed, there is someone who is very suitable and is already doing it."

Now that we have pioneers and guides who have established their own aspirations and missions, the inheritors of the unique knowledge of the sages will naturally not be left behind.

If we were to say who best fits the description in this era, it would be Song Yingxing.

All the handsome audience members know who this person is.

Amid the turbulent changes of history, many traditional skills left by our ancestors are facing the risk of being lost.

Song Yingxing recorded these skills in the form of text and drawings and compiled them into a book.

This is the first encyclopedia about agricultural and handicraft production technology in the history of Xia State, covering many fields such as agriculture and handicrafts.

It includes more than one hundred production techniques and tools, including metal processing, textile dyeing, ceramic making, salt and sugar making, grain planting, etc.

It contains detailed knowledge and technical experience of many skills of the Xia State over thousands of years, and provides a systematic summary, which is very comprehensive.

Precious technical information has been preserved for future generations, allowing these traditional skills to be passed on.

And this book is the famous "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature"!

However, it has not yet been released.

Now it is the first year of Chongzhen. Song Yingxing is about forty years old and is still a country gentleman. Although he has the title of juren, he has not entered the officialdom.

He was smart and studious since childhood, and was quite proficient in classics, history, and literature. He also liked to read professional books on astronomy, geography, agricultural technology, etc., and his interests were extremely broad.

During his many trips to Beijing to take the imperial examinations, he recorded in detail what he saw and heard along the way.

He also consulted various craftsmen and obtained a large amount of first-hand information through personal investigation.

As the dynasty was in decline, Song Yingxing realized the importance of production technology to national strength.

So the idea of ​​organizing and summarizing these skills and spreading them to the people came into being.

According to history, it was not until the seventh year of Chongzhen that he was appointed as the instructor of Fenyi County School, Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.

With the convenience of his position, he had more time and opportunities to get in touch with and understand the local agricultural and handicraft production conditions.

At the same time, the organization and summary of the information also began.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" was first published.

Compared with people like Shui Tailiang who are only good at party struggles, Song Yingxing is perfect and a model of inheriting the unique knowledge of ancient sages.

He also had the integrity that a scholar should have. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he no longer took up an official position, but lived in seclusion in the mountains to study.

He is a true scholar worthy of respect.

……

However, the compiler of "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" is now facing a life-and-death crisis.

While on the road, they accidentally entered a place where evil spirits were lurking, and they could not get out of the forest.

Song Yingxing knew that this might be the ghost wall in folk legends.

Although as a scholar, I stay away from such weird and supernatural things.

But now the world is full of natural disasters and all kinds of strange things happen from time to time. Although they are not common, there are many rumors.

Even when he was visiting a folk craftsman, he encountered strange events.

However, it was soon dealt with by a young Taoist priest who was passing by.

He could not see anything unusual with his naked eyes, he only knew that after the Taoist performed the ritual, the strange thing disappeared.

I thought he was a charlatan who was trying to deceive people, but the Taoist priest did not take any money or stay for food, and just left.

Before leaving, he said that meeting was fate and gave Song Yingxing a talisman.

But now the talisman paper suddenly began to heat up.

Song Yingxing held the talisman tightly, feeling something in his heart, and walked in the direction guided by the unknown.

After a series of twists and turns, we finally got out of the forest where we had been wandering.

The bright and warm sunshine made him breathe a sigh of relief, but the next moment he felt a burning sensation in his hands, as if he were holding a red-hot charcoal, and he shook his hands subconsciously.

The talisman paper that left his hand suddenly combusted out of thin air, turned into ashes before it hit the ground, and disappeared.

Confucius does not talk about strange things, supernatural powers, or demons, but Song Yingxing has learned a lot and has also read the classics handed down in Taoism.

I knew that the talisman must have run out of power and lost its effect.

Without the amulet, it is not advisable to stay here for long.

But before he had taken a few steps, he felt a cold wind blowing from behind.

The warm sunshine cannot cover up the chilly and cold weather.

Instantly, I felt a chill down my spine and my hair stood on end.

He didn't dare look back and ran forward desperately, but found that he had lost control of his body and could not move his legs at all.

A hissing sound came from my ears, like a snake spitting out its tongue.

"Mortal, why aren't you afraid?"

A strange questioning voice sounded, and Song Yingxing felt his neck go cold and tight, as if something was strangling him.

He saw a pitch-black snake head circling around from behind, its blood-red vertical pupils staring at him with a human-like look.

"Why should I be afraid of mere animals?"

Song Yingxing knew that he had encountered a demon and was doomed to die.

The inevitable death made his original panic fade away, and he scolded calmly.

The black snake stuck out its tongue and said, "Really? In my opinion, you mortals are the beasts."

"But it is a low-quality ingredient. This righteous aura stinks. The ingredients that are afraid are delicious."

After saying that, the snake rolled up its body and threw Song Yingxing out.

"Forget it. My snake descendants shouldn't be picky."

Song Yingxing fell to the ground and rolled several times, his body was hurt by the stones.

As my head was dizzy, I heard a lot of rustling sounds. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw countless snakes swimming towards me.

"Alas, what a pity! These books will also be buried here with me."

He glanced at the package that had fallen not far away, his heart filled with regret.

Those were the hundreds of folk skills he collected during his trip.

I originally wanted to bring it back and sort it out carefully, but now it seems there is no chance.

At this critical moment, a pair of hands suddenly emerged from the ground.

He grabbed Song Yingxing and pulled him into the ground.

The snakes that pounced on him immediately bit everything, and their low intelligence meant they had no idea what was happening.

The disappearance of the prey caused the snakes to start biting and devouring each other, creating chaos.

And that ordinary package also disappeared among the snakes.
