Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 69 Setting the Party
Subtitle of this chapter: I can die in the evening if I hear the truth in the morning
Yuan Yan suddenly said seriously: "We Chinese had a saying more than 2,000 years ago. This is a warning to all those who are seeking the truth and secrets..."
"If you hear the truth in the morning, you will definitely not live past the evening!"
"And your novel Dagon made me feel this way..."
Our Master Yuan put down the wine glass in his hand, and said with burning eyes: "So Mr. Ai Shouyi, I wrote this novel and sent it to you as soon as possible."
"If you hear the truth in the morning, you will never live past the evening...."
Mr. Ai Shouyi repeated this wise saying several times in his mouth, and finally blurted out: "I really didn't expect that you Chinese people could say such wise words... Sorry, Mr. Yuan, that's not what I meant."
He realized that he had spoken out of turn, so he tried his best to make amends at the last minute.
In the United States in 1920, what Yuan Yanshu couldn't stand the most was not the lack of the Internet. After all, he was only sensible in the 1990s, and in those days, children were very happy to have a handheld game console. In addition, as an only child in a big city, his parents and elders were very strict. In addition to studying, he had to practice piano and learn English. His main entertainment activities were watching TV and reading novels. In this era, he could calm down and read some big books... Well, he used the Master Ball system as a portable e-book.
Of course, it’s not food. Although the Internet has praised Chinese cuisine to the sky, and some overseas students can conquer foreigners with a bowl of shredded green peppers and potatoes, in fact, many young people living alone can’t even make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, let alone shredded green peppers and potatoes. They usually eat instant noodles and order takeout. Sandwiches and milk are more nutritionally balanced than instant noodles, and Yuan Yanshu can go to Chinatown from time to time to change his taste.
What "new Chinese" like him can't stand the most is the undisguised racial discrimination of white people against them, the yellow people... well, it should be all people of color. It is somewhat ironic that in later generations, political figures like him often laugh at the 21st century American empire and old Europe for going too far in political correctness, making jokes like "BLM (Black Lives Matter)". But now our Master Yuan misses this kind of political correctness very much.
Moreover, Yuan Yanshu now has a lofty mission and has received a temporary task to refresh the other party's three views.
Since the master of craftsmanship came to him, he made up his mind to give this master of horror novels a good brainwashing for his anti-Semitic, anti-black, anti-Chinese, anti-Russian, anti-Irish... well, he was against everyone except New Englanders, and later married a Jewish woman.
Of course, the difficulty is not to make him more anti-Semitic, but to make him no longer anti-Chinese. In the end, it still depends on Yuan Yanshu's imagination.
Our Master Yuan must try his best to open the imagination of those who love craftsmanship and add oriental...well, Yuan elements to the Cthulhu mythology.
He lit a camel and asked leisurely, "Mr. Aishou, do you know the history of us Seres people?"
Master Ai Shouyi said somewhat awkwardly: "This... I'm really not sure."
It's best if you don't know.
Our Master Yuan was invigorated upon hearing this. He straightened up, and with a sacred expression on his face, he said solemnly: "The ancestors of every Seres can be traced back to five thousand years ago!"
"According to Herodotus's records, three thousand years before the birth of Jesus, the Sumerians in the Mesopotamian Valley, the cradle had already established an extremely brilliant city-state civilization. Upper and Lower Egypt had been unified into one country. And you Europeans..."
Yuan Yan took a puff of her cigarette, glanced at Master Ai Shouyi, and chuckled a few times: "Hehehe..."
Herodotus was an ancient Greek historian in the fifth century BC. He can be said to be the ancestor of Western historians and is known as the "Father of Historiography". He is also the founder of Western literature and the author of the book "History". Although this book is mainly about the Greco-Persian Wars, Herodotus also recorded the history of Egypt, Babylon, Syria, Persia, Scythia and other places in the book.The history and culture of these regions and all the ethnic groups in these regions.
As for Europe in 3000 BC, it is better not to talk about it. So Mr. Aishouyi has no way to refute it. He has been reading a lot since he was a child, so of course he knows that what this Chinese man without pigtails said is right.
He shifted his butt uneasily on the sofa, and finally pretended not to hear the sarcasm in the words.
Unexpectedly, he was so uncooperative. Our Master Yuan did not wait for the opportunity to slap Master Ai Shouyi in the face, so he had to continue speaking. He straightened his face and said loudly: " In Seris, this era is called The Age of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperoes."
The three supreme monarchs and five great emperors are naturally... the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Okay, next it’s time for our Master Yuan to give out sweets... well, it’s time to change history.
"Mr. Ai Shouyi, these three supreme monarchs and five great emperors refer to eight specific historical figures who were once leaders of our Seris city-state alliance. These are also eight respected titles that can only be possessed by the high priests who have inherited the ancient wisdom and the great leaders who are both virtuous and virtuous."
"The first of the three supreme monarchs is Suiren, who serves the primordial fire of the universe; the second is Fuxi, who inherits the wisdom of mankind; and the third is Shennong, who holds the secret of the origin of all living things."
"The five great emperors are in charge of the four seasons and the four directions, and they also represent the five elements, namely gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The descendants of these five emperors take turns to hold the imperial power of the Seres Empire."
"And the ancestor of our Yuan family is the Water Emperor—Zhuanxu!"
"When the stars reach the right position, the destiny of East Asia will be transferred from one of the descendants of the five great emperors to another, and we, the Seris people, will also welcome a new son of destiny!"
I have to say that Yuan Hongjian was once a member of the setting party.
