Above the sky, a huge black shadow appeared, covering the sky and the moon, blocking all light, far exceeding the four to five feet wide that Ning Chen described before.
A flash of nervousness flashed across Little Mingyue's face, and her little hands hugged the former's neck tightly. No matter how persistent the little girl was, she would still be afraid of this unknown monster.
"Chirp"
The strange bird roared loudly and immediately swooped down towards the two people below.
Ning Chen's eyes flashed, and he stamped his foot, turning into a ray of silver light that shot up against the sky. With a swish sound, he slashed the strange bird's belly with a sword.
"Wow"
Blood sprayed out, and a gash that was more than ten feet long appeared on the strange bird's body. However, the strange bird was too big, more than ten feet wide. It screamed in pain and left quickly.
Ning Chen landed and found that the strange bird had disappeared, and couldn't help but frown.
What is this thing? His sword with all his strength failed to completely cut it open. The body was much harder than expected.
There are too many unknowns like Qizhou Mountain Range like Primeval Land. It seems that he should be more careful.
"Roar"
Suddenly, the roar of the beast shook the sky, birds flew away, and the earth shook violently, shaking up and down, left and right, like an earthquake.
Little Mingyue hugged him tighter, and the nervousness on his face became more intense.
Ning Chen walked forward quietly, Ink Sword still dripping with blood in his hands. He knew that tonight would not go too smoothly.
No wonder no one has entered this Qizhou Mountain Range, and even warriors are unwilling to try it easily. Just the strange bird just now, warriors below Seventh-Rank can no longer handle it.
In the past, he met one when he fell off a cliff, and today he met another one. It seems that this thing is not as rare as imagined.
There are indeed monsters every year, but there are especially many today.
"Boom"
At this moment, the world suddenly shook, and a huge fist fell from the sky, like a hill, so heavy that it made people breathless.
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped back half a step, moved his left hand, the dark yellow light was strong, the infuriating energy of the whole body was flowing, he concentrated all his strength on one blow, and punched him suddenly.
In the rumbling sound, the aftermath rippled out. The surrounding ancient trees could not withstand such an astonishing force, and they continued to separate and collapse, flying everywhere.
The owner of the giant fist revealed himself, and turned out to be an ape about ten feet tall, with dense brown hair all over his body. He looked ugly and looked very scary.
"Roar"
The giant ape looked up to the sky and roared, and the terrifying sound waves turned into strong winds, blowing up fallen leaves all over the sky.
"How dare a beast be so rampant? Kneel down!"
Ning Chen snorted coldly, turned his left hand into a fist, clasped the giant ape's fist, Thick Earth Qi exploded, and immediately pulled it down suddenly.
But after hearing a bang, the giant ape's feet were unsteady, and he suddenly knelt down. The sky and the earth shook for a moment.
Ink Sword moved, the sword condensed Frost Bloom, and was about to end the life of this beast, but was stopped by Little Mingyue.
"Don't kill it," Mingyue said with a look of annoyance.
Ning Chen frowned, Little Mingyue When did he become so soft-hearted? How can an emperor be so kind to a woman?
"We broke into its territory. It was just protecting its home," Mingyue explained in a low voice.
The giant ape also showed fear on its ugly face, lowering its head to show submission.
Ning Chen was unwilling to refute Little Mingyue's wishes, so he took back Ink Sword and said coldly, "Get up."
Hearing this, the giant ape actually stood up, as if it could understand human speech.
Ning Chen looked at the road blocked by the big man and frowned again, "Go aside, don't block the road."
The giant ape stepped aside cautiously, fearing to displease the terrifying human in front of him again.
"I'll come down and walk by myself" Mingyue said softly.
"Okay" Ning Chen responded, then squatted down and put the little girl down.
Mingyue held the big hand in front of him, smiled at the big man next to him, and then walked forward with small steps.
Ning Chen followed and glanced at the giant ape thoughtfully. This big man should have seen humans before, and even spent a lot of time with humans, otherwise he shouldn't be able to understand human speech.
No matter how smart a creature is, it is impossible for humans to understand human language naturally, let alone beasts and apes.
It seems that there are still people who have set foot in this place, but I don't know who is so bold and boring as to teach a monster to understand human speech.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen stopped at his feet, turned around, glanced at the giant ape, and shouted, "Hey, big guy, have you ever seen a human being?"
"Ugh," the giant ape nodded in response.
"Can you take us to have a look?" Ning Chen asked.
"Ugh." The giant ape nodded again.
Ning Chen held Little Mingyue, stamped his feet and turned into a stream of light falling on the big man's shoulders. Immediately, he said, "Let's go."
"Roar" the giant ape looked up to the sky and roared, frightening the little girl.
"Don't scream!" Mingyue shouted dissatisfied.
"..." The giant ape immediately shut up and silently took long strides and ran forward.
Primeval Land The trees are too tall. The giant ape is already ten feet tall, but he is still inconspicuous among them, just like a child next to an adult.
The giant ape has rough skin and thick flesh, and it doesn't matter if the branches and vines are swept away, but Little Mingyue cannot. Therefore, the hardest part of the journey is Ning Chen, who always uses his true energy to protect the little girl, for fear of being hurt or touched.
"Boom boom boom"
Fortunately, not long after, the deafening sound of the waterfall was heard in front of them. The giant ape led the two people through the final dense forest and stopped in front of the ancient Tan.
In front of my eyes, it suddenly became clear. On the 100-foot cliff, I saw the turbulent water pouring down. The water spray rolled faster and faster, and the more violent it rolled. The top was like smooth water layers falling one after another, and when it fell below, it was like snow-white. The jade belt rushed downwards, and suddenly it turned into an exploding iceberg and a toppling snow peak, collapsing down and rushing straight into the ancient temple below. The impact of the waterfall was like thousands of horses galloping, majestic and shocking.
"There is such a treasure in this mountain range."
Ning Chen was surprised and felt that the two cyclones in the air sea were showing signs of getting ready to move, indicating that the spiritual energy here was much richer than the outside world.
"So beautiful"
The little girl is always irresistible to beautiful things, and she was slightly distracted looking at the majestic waterfall in front of her.
Ning Chen took the little girl off the giant ape's shoulders and walked to the ancient temple in front. She touched the water and found it was slightly cold, but not bone-piercing.
"You play here while I look around," Ning Chen warned.
"Okay" Mingyue liked this place very much and responded softly.
Ning Chen raised his head and glanced at the giant ape, and warned lightly, "Big guy, keep an eye on Little Mingyue. If she makes any mistakes, I will come back and tear you apart."
"Ugh" the giant ape responded with a frightened nod.
Ning Chen then walked to the side with confidence. He wanted to see what kind of person could turn a monster's intelligence on.
If someone had lived in this place, there should be some signs left behind. People and monsters are always different.
After searching for a while, Ning Chen finally found a stone house a hundred feet away from the waterfall. Weeds had grown around it. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought it was just a big stone.
The door of the stone house has been corroded by time and completely shattered at a touch. It seems to be at least hundreds of years old.
There were not many things in the house, only a stone bed, a stone table, and not even a stool. It must have been mercilessly turned into dust by the years.
Ning Chen stepped forward and found a piece of paper on the stone table. It was an ordinary piece of paper, but when it appeared here, it seemed so extraordinary.
Even the wood cannot withstand the erosion of time and turns to dust, but an ordinary piece of paper can be preserved intact.
The few words written on the paper are very clear and not difficult to understand.
"I met a little ape by chance. My mother passed away. I felt pity for him. I protected him for ten years and left----Ji Taishi"
There were only these words written on the paper, and there were no other words. The content did not seem to have anything special, but the name signed at the end shocked Ning Chen.
Ji Taishi, three simple words, but heavier than Mount Tai.
Great Xia The first Imperial Tutor, the leader of Three Grand Ministers, the founder of Confucianism thousands of years ago, is also known as the Master among the people.
Three Grand Ministers The rule not to interfere in politics easily was also set by the Master at that time.
The thousand years of Great Xia are inseparable from the dedication of Confucianism. Although Confucianism has gradually been corrupted by power, it is undeniable that without Confucianism, there would be no Great Xia's thousand-year invincible prosperity.
It can be said that this millennium is the millennium of Confucianism, and even the light of Eternal Night Divine Cult has been somewhat suppressed by the Confucian orthodoxy.
Eternal Night Divine Cult believes in the theory of God, while Confucianism believes in the theory of man. The two are in fierce conflict and cannot tolerate each other.
Today, if the only orthodoxy that can be compared with Eternal Night Divine Cult is Confucianism.
This is also the reason why Great Xia can last forever.
The theistic thought of thousands of years ago was so powerful, and the ability to create Confucianism under such conditions shows how amazing the Master was at that time.
The Master opened up the wisdom of Great Xia people and no longer blindly believed in gods, making the world more sensible and less ignorant.
From then on, among Great Xia, the word the Master cannot be used casually as Teacher. Anyone who can be called the Master is a great scholar.
Ning Chen knew all of this clearly, so that was not what shocked him.
What shocked him was that he had seen the writing on it before.
He stayed in the academy for two months. The academy also had a the Master and a Old Master who looked very, very old.
Old Master is very old, and he has almost stopped writing. In the entire academy, he is probably the only one who has seen Old Master write.
At that time, his legs were weak and he was not used to anything. He was slow to learn and walk slowly. Fortunately, he met the Master who was also very slow. Therefore, after chopping firewood, his favorite thing was to attend the Master's class.
On the night before he left the academy, he talked to the Master all night long. He talked a lot, including many secrets that had been pressed in his heart for a long time. He even said that he was not from this world.
The Master, didn't say anything, only wrote four words, take things as they come.
Written in the snow, gone with the wind.
He didn't notice it at the time, and it wasn't until today that he remembered it when he saw the words on this piece of paper.
This is too shocking and too unbelievable.
The Master from thousands of years ago is still alive...
