Chapter 106: Lesson for Children, Important Information

"Ding Ling~"

Cheng Han pressed the doorbell, holding a thick book in his right hand, quietly waiting.

A few seconds later.

Footsteps could be heard from inside the door.

Cheng Han blinked his eyes and muttered to himself, "A child?"

The frequency of the footsteps was fast, just like how children walk. Their thinking is more divergent and they tend to be impatient, always running around uncontrollably.

"Click!"

The door lock made a sound.

The front door was pulled open.

Sure enough.

Standing inside the door was a boy who looked about five or six years old. His black hair was slightly curly, a typical recessive trait.

The boy looked around and exclaimed in surprise, "You must be Cheng Han, right?!"

He continued excitedly, "I've heard a lot about you these days. You look like a middle school student, and you're carrying a book. You must be the Cheng Han who borrowed the book!"

Cheng Han shook his head and said seriously, "You're mistaken."

In his heart, he gave an evaluation: good logical thinking ability, keen observation, but loves to show off.

Overall, not a very likable child.

The little boy didn't believe him at all, "You can't fool me!"

In the next instant.

The little guy was scared and took a step back.

Because Cheng Han's temperament had changed instantly.

Just now, he was a cheerful young man, but now he exuded a fierce aura, like a leopard about to pounce on its prey.

However, his expression remained unchanged, still with a smile.

"Thump~ Thump~"

The little boy exclaimed, shouting, "Dad, there's a bad guy here!" He turned and ran into the house, as if being chased by a fierce spirit animal.

Cheng Han grinned.

He didn't mean to scare the child.

It was just that his All-Knowing Eye had been passively triggered, and the illusion showed that this little devil was blocking the door and refusing to move, insisting on watching a "kung fu performance".

And he had to be satisfied before he would leave.

This troublesome little brat!

Cheng Han decided to scare him away.

Soon.

A familiar voice floated over, "Cheng Han, come in."

It was the ancient history expert, Lin Xuebin.

Cheng Han entered the house and nodded, "Mr. Lin, good afternoon!"

The little boy hid behind Lin Xuebin, sticking out a small head, with an obvious look of fear mixed with anger towards the "liar".

Lin Xuebin patted his son's head, "Say hello quickly."

The little boy reluctantly greeted, "Hello, senior!"

This small detail reflected that the little guy had not received bad upbringing, because behind restraint and self-control often meant strict discipline.

Cheng Han, considering Lin Xuebin's presence, decided to give the child a lesson, "Recently, my strength has improved very quickly and has reached a level that ordinary people find difficult to attain."

To prove his words, he took out a copper coin and casually molded it into various shapes like kneading clay.

The little boy widened his eyes, his face filled with shock.

Lin Xuebin was also a bit stunned.

Because this was not an ordinary skill.

Cheng Han pulled the copper coin into a thin sheet, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and with a light shout, he used the paper as a knife and slashed it towards the copper sheet.

"Whoosh~"

The paper knife cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

With a "crack" sound, the copper sheet was actually cut in half.

The little boy was dumbfounded.

"Clap! Clap!"

Lin Xuebin applauded, his face full of admiration, "That was amazing!"

Cheng Han nodded to Lin Xuebin, "Thank you!"

He glanced at the little boy again and said seriously, "However, I still try my best to restrain myself from using force and never bully others."

"Because there will always be someone stronger than you. As the saying goes, 'Those who deceive others will always be deceived.' If you act recklessly all the time, you will eventually lose your life."

Cheng Han paused and concluded, "Always maintain respect and awe, that is the way to long-lasting success."

This child loves to show off because he relies on his good family background. Children from ordinary families learn early on to read people's expressions and dare not be so arrogant.

But the problem is, everyone has to rely on themselves one day. When there is no one to protect them, they will inevitably suffer.

Lin Xuebin became even more appreciative, "These words are impressive!"

The little boy was a bit confused and shocked.

*

In the study.

Cheng Han took the initiative and said, "Mr. Lin, the main purpose of my visit today is to seek advice on a few questions."

The follower of the foreign god who came to find Xie You, since daring to call himself the "Priest of Life," may have a corresponding authority behind him, possibly a foreign god.

Perhaps it can be called the God of Life.

This foreign god is highly likely to have a close connection with the ancient battle of the end and the three major foreign gods. Even during the more than 30,000 years that the Divine Banyan has stood tall, it should have made many moves in secret.

In view of this, he felt that it was not a bad thing to infiltrate the circle of historical researchers.

Cheng Han opened the classics and asked the first question, "When I was reading about the history of the ancient era..."

This was an intentionally chosen question, with a certain depth, but it did not exceed Lin Xuebin's knowledge range.

In other words, it touched on the other party's sensitive spot, allowing him to fully display his knowledge.

Just as expected.

The more Lin Xuebin spoke, the more excited he became. When he reached a key point, he even danced a few times, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of being a knowledgeable teacher.

After finishing the consultation.

Lin Xuebin generously praised, "Cheng Han, your keenness in historical research is very high. As long as you study more in your spare time, you will definitely achieve something."

Cheng Han smiled and remained silent.

Not only in historical research, but also in terms of combat, many people have praised my keenness.

Lin Xuebin took the initiative to bring up the matter of the 'flower, nut, and seed pattern': "By the way, I found some information about the painting you brought last time."

Cheng Han's spirit was shaken upon hearing this.

The main event has finally arrived!

It was not in vain that I spent so much effort and laid the groundwork for so long.

Lin Xuebin picked up a yellowed manuscript and began to narrate, "I had a deceased friend who was dedicated to studying various rituals related to foreign gods.

"Before he passed away, he gave me a part of his manuscripts and books, and from this manuscript, I accidentally came across a sketch that bears a striking resemblance to that painting..."

He opened the manuscript and carefully turned to a page, saying, "Here it is."

Cheng Han carefully examined it and showed a hint of surprise, "Indeed, it's very similar."

The sketch depicted a stone coffin.

On one side of the coffin wall, there were carvings of flowers, nuts, and seeds, forming a pattern that was over 90% similar to the one on the paper, almost certainly the same thing.

In addition, the stone coffin was also engraved with some horrifying patterns.

For example:

A group of people dressed as priests dancing around a corpse, with the chest and abdomen of the corpse cut open, and a strange flower growing out of it.

Curiously, Cheng Han asked, "Mr. Lin, where does this stone coffin come from?"

Lin Xuebin recalled for a moment and replied, "Over twenty years ago, the nearby 'Zhen Court Small Spirit Realm' destroyed a foreign god organization and seized a batch of items, and this was one of them.

"My friend was invited to identify these things, and after he came back, he drew a sketch of the stone coffin based on his memory."

Cheng Han exclaimed, "Oh, I see."

Lin Xuebin spoke confidently, "In ancient times, the Wanhao Divine Banyan was not as huge as it is today, but there were still many small spiritual realms that humans had not set foot in, known as the 'Lost Small Spiritual Realms'..."

Cheng Han appeared to be listening attentively, but he was secretly mocking in his heart.

In ancient times, there was only one supercontinent, and the Divine Banyan tree didn't even have a shadow. It was clearly after the end of the Middle Ages that the Divine Banyan tree likely devoured most of the remains and grew to its current size.

The top experts of this world not only suppressed the gods of the Satyr race, but also managed to wipe out their homeland.

How ruthless!

Lin Xuebin continued, "Due to the brutal rule of the foreign gods, humans had to rise up in rebellion. After thousands of years of effort, they finally suppressed the three major foreign gods, and the remaining followers of the foreign gods retreated to the Lost Small Spiritual Realms."

Cheng Han's mouth twitched.

The distortion of history to this extent was truly outrageous.

Absolutely outrageous!

"My friend believes, based on research, that the Zhen Court Small Spiritual Realm is one of the lost small spiritual realms from that time, because the carving style of this stone coffin is very similar to many contemporary items."

Cheng Han felt a shock in his heart.

When the three major foreign gods were suppressed, it was the moment when the ancient continent was destroyed. The Lost Small Spiritual Realms were definitely fabricated by the authorities.

If the stone coffin originated from that time, there was only one truth - it came from a fragment of land protected by the foreign gods.

Lin Xuebin still held onto his friend's research findings.

"...Based on this, it can be determined that the stone coffin should have been made by the retreating followers of the foreign gods, possibly used to bury a certain important figure... After thirty thousand years, the followers of the foreign gods dug up the stone coffin again..."

This part was pure nonsense.

Cheng Han could only hold his nose and pretend to be focused.

But his thoughts were drifting.

"By the way, the foreign god who seemed to control the power of life still existed during the End of the Middle Ages. Why did He disappear in the later period of the Middle Ages?"

"This is a major question. It seems that my guess was correct. There is definitely a very close relationship between the three major foreign gods and the god of life."

Cheng Han came to a stunning conclusion.

"The appearance of this stone coffin in the Zhen Court Small Spiritual Realm, does it mean that there is a hidden passage connecting the land fragment in that small spiritual realm?"

Cheng Han believed that the possibility was high!

He felt more and more that getting to know Mr. Lin was a wise decision. In just two encounters, he had gained such important information.

Thanks, Qingqing!

They chatted for another half an hour.

Cheng Han tentatively made a request, "Mr. Lin, may I borrow this manuscript?"

Lin Xuebin smiled, "No problem! Just don't damage it."

He was so accommodating, not just because of Qingqing's money, but also because he had just witnessed an amazing performance and felt that this young man had a bright future, so he was willing to make friends.
