When did outsiders come to the mountains?
The two disciples were startled by the sudden appearance of Fang Shiwen, and they were also curious. However, the two of them soon realized that the other party must be the "visitor from outside the territory" who had been reported to everyone in the door a few days ago.
Compared to hundreds of years ago, news about "outside the territory" is no longer new. Not to mention the forces like Duoyashan that stand at the forefront of the Wild Sky Territory, even ordinary human nations are no strangers to "outside the territory". Even if it just stays on the basis of the 魍 clan and the three-eyed clan.
But this is the first time for "visitors from outside the territory".
The two disciples from Duoya Mountain were still young and came to the creek today to fetch water at the orders of their senior brothers and sisters. They had nothing to do and chatted about the story books they had been reading so much recently. Some of the content in the book comes from the "Book of Tao", but most of it was summarized by three second-generation disciples from the sect master's narration.
The name of the book was also said by the sect leader. It is called "Journey to the West". It is a mysterious story that spans the three realms and is based on a journey of seeking scriptures in the human world.
Whether you look at the surface or look beyond the surface to see the inside, "Journey to the West" is a rare story. There are many fascinating places inside. It is said to be written by Yang Rui, the master of the law enforcement hall who has the best writing skills. Nowadays, it is the favorite "idle book" among the middle and low-level disciples in Duoya Mountain.
As for high-level disciples, they are already familiar with it, so naturally they will not read it again.
"This, senior, are you talking about Sun Dasheng's story?"
The two and a half-year-old children were not afraid. How could they be afraid of anyone in their own mountain gate? More of a curiosity. Because in their eyes, although Fang Shiwen looked middle-aged, he was actually quite a bit older. How could he still be interested in "stories"? So I asked subconsciously.
Fang Shiwen nodded and said with a smile: "You two little brothers, what is Sun Dasheng's background? We have never heard of such a person there."
Seeing that the other party clearly mentioned "Sun Dasheng" again, the two and a half-year-old children glanced at each other, and then started chatting.
"Senior, Sun Dasheng is not an ordinary person. He was transformed into the sacred stone left over after Empress Nuwa mended the sky. It took the shape of a monkey and was a great stone monkey demon. He was born on the Huaguo Mountain in the Aolai Kingdom of Dongsheng Divine Continent... ...."
"Wait a minute! Who is Nuwa? Why Mendian?" At the beginning, Fang Shiwen felt that he didn't quite understand.
The two disciples laughed and started telling Fang Shiwen some fragments of stories before "Journey to the West".
Why fragments? Because these are not in "Journey to the West", but are spliced together by the disciples in the mountains looking for clues from their own channels and some ancient books in the sect. Although it is not a book, basically some of the general context before "Journey to the West" has been arranged in a similar way.
Fang Shiwen was confused at first. What about Nuwa creating humans, about breaking the sky and destroying the world, and about quarrying stones to mend the sky... This was completely explained by something beyond his cognition, and it sounded like "I don't understand, but it makes sense" I can figure it out.” It's just weird.
Then a stone monkey demon popped out of a stone, officially kicking off the story.
Fang Shiwen is no stranger to demons. There are many fairies in the Chaos Sect. Not to mention the monkey monster, there are all kinds of strange things?
But can a demon fairy be so ridiculously powerful right from birth?
The clever stone monkey understands changes, knows the time of the sky, knows the location, and can move stars and change battles!
This is still talking about his natural ability. Later, there was a person who had been chasing the strength of demons and immortals for thousands of years without a teacher. Later, he was accepted as a disciple by an "ancestor" and learned the skills of the heaven and the earth.
Then he became arrogant and unbridled, fighting from the sea to the sky, and then from the sky to the earth. Finally, he was known as "Qitian" and became one of the demon saints of heaven and earth.
After hearing this, the smile on Fang Shiwen's face also faded. What he tasted from these "stories" was not only "wonderful" and "magical", but he also consciously discovered unknown things about the mysterious veil of the ancient world.
"Senior, it's getting late. The two of us have to fetch water and go back to cook. We can't continue chatting with you. But you
If you are interested, you can go to the library, where there is a complete copy of "Journey to the West", as well as some related miscellaneous notes. It's much more interesting than when we talk about it this way. "
The two and a half-year-old kids could talk for a while, which was like getting addicted to telling stories. But even if they wanted to chat more with Fang Shiwen, they didn't have time. If they didn't go back, they wouldn't be able to catch up on cooking, and they would be punished. So I could only say goodbye.
Fang Shiwen waved his hand with a smile, and two purple-reddish spirit stones fell into the hands of the two and a half-year-old children.
Seeing that the other party was about to refuse, Fang Shiwen smiled and said: "Take it. I, Fang Shiwen, listened to your story and wasted your time. It's just two stones. If you don't give it, it's my fault. If you don't accept it, you don't give me face." ." After saying that, without waiting for the other party to speak again, he moved away.
"Li Ling, this, is this a spiritual stone? How come there is a spiritual stone of this color?"
"I don't know. Let's go back and ask Master. I think there is so much spiritual energy in this stone that it's scary!"
"Well! That person just now came from outside the territory, and this stone must also come from outside the territory. Li Ling, do you think all spirit stones from outside the territory look like this?"
The two half-grown children carrying water out of the stream did not know that the two spiritual stones in their hands were indeed extraordinary, the best of the best. How could a dignified immortal have ordinary things in his hands?
Fang Shiwen, who had moved away from the creek, appeared again in the library the two disciples were talking about.
Fang Shiwen didn't shy away and went straight to the library manager. After explaining his purpose, the other party politely gave him a copy of "Journey to the West". It is very thick, three inches long, and it is a big book. You can imagine that there is a lot of content in it. In addition to the original version of "Journey to the West", Fang Shiwen also borrowed some derivative miscellaneous notes about "Journey to the West". Because these were to be filled by disciples later, they could not be given away. Fang Shiwen borrowed them and planned to put them into jade slips and return them.
And Fang Shiwen did all this openly, without any thought of hiding it from Zhang Yan.
And Zhang Yan really had no intention of interfering in Fang Shiwen's behavior. After all, what the other party did was not prohibited by the cliff mountain.
But Zhang Yan was very curious. Why was Fang Shiwen suddenly so interested in "Journey to the West", which exists as an interesting essay in the sect in the cliff mountain?
You must know that "Journey to the West" was written by three brothers and sisters named Wang Nian based on the stories he told. But it was also Zhang Yan who wanted to use this to let the disciples of Duyashan have a deeper imagination of "cultivation". Instead of always focusing on Taoist calligraphy and magic, which is not conducive to practice. It’s good to have a clear goal.
However, the story in Zhang Yan's eyes was completely different in Fang Shiwen's eyes.
story? Conjecture?
The more Fang Shiwen read "Journey to the West" in his hands, the more he felt that what he was holding in his hands might be a historical fact from the great world. Not a story at all….
