Huang Ji went to bed at midnight and got up at nine the next morning.
It couldn't be helped. He needed more sleep than other people because his mind was too exhausted...
While deeply asleep, he had a dream.
In the dream, he seemed to see an elephant trampling farmland and chewing on crops.
The local farmers were deeply dissatisfied, so they dug a trap near the fields and lured the elephant into stepping into it, where it became trapped in the pit.
In the end, the elephant was obviously hunted and killed by the farmers.
And this was Henan Province's last elephant. From then on, the Central Plains Elephant became extinct.
Huang Ji woke up and practiced a set of the Inner Canon exercises, going through all four sets from the first to the fourth.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he went to the front hall.
There, Lin Li was sleeping on the carpet in the front hall. There was no need to ask—Huang Ji knew he had stayed up practicing until dawn before finally falling asleep.
He had not made much progress, merely succeeded twice more, yet that all-nighter had cost him twenty hours of his lifespan...
Huang Ji shook his head. He did not wake him and went out alone to buy breakfast.
After returning, he sat on the sofa, drank porridge, ate eggs, and continued reading.
"I actually dreamed of a Central Plains Elephant. Right, that was the last historical record I read before going to sleep."
Henan Province had once been home to many elephants. It could even be said that elephants had roamed everywhere...
Before going to sleep, Huang Ji had read a document from the early Northern Song Dynasty recording how farmers had hunted and killed elephants.
