Next to the stream in the river valley, Wu Wan sat there with frowning and pursed lips, looking at the smiling old man in coir raincoat in front of him.
What the hell? What's going on? How to deal with this?
Ah, a little dizzy...
The current king of the Human Realm, who leads the Human Realm to resist half of the gods in the wilderness, and the Human Emperor who has made the Human Realm stand tall in the Southern Wilderness and is getting more and more prosperous, just sitting in front of him so casually?
'Would you like to salute? '
Wu Huan had this thought in his heart, and then he burst into laughter again.
Be serious, you can't be playful now.
This was not just because the old man in front of him was the rumored Emperor Yan Shennong; nor was it just because the other party said he could cure his strange disease.
In fact, there is also a richness from the myths and legends of my hometown.
Wu Wan took two steps back and made a bow to the old man in front of him, who called himself Lianshan Old Man.
"This kid is so rude, His Majesty, the Human Emperor, don't blame me!"
Shennong shook his head and said with a smile: "Let's only talk about your strange illness and nothing else for the time being. Do you trust me?"
"Xin, what can senior do to you?"
Wu Wu smiled and said: "The younger generation also followed the example of the monks in the human realm and gave himself a Taoist name called Wuwang, which means Wuwuwu."
"Wuwu? Wuwu disaster?"
Shennong was immediately happy.
"Hahaha, your nickname is really appropriate. This strange disease is really an unforeseen disaster."
Wu Wan wondered: "Senior, do you know the root cause of junior's strange disease?"
"Let me decide how much I can tell you. Some of the inside information is related to the fate of the human race. It is not convenient to explain to you at this time."
Shennong groaned for a few times and said:
"Let's go to a nearby resting place first, and then I'll explain to you slowly."
After saying this, Shen Nong stood up, put his hand on Wu Wan's shoulder and took half a step forward.
The light and shadow around me changed, and the sky changed again.
They were among the mountains, standing in a maple forest halfway up the mountain. There were half-red maple leaves everywhere. Birds could be seen circling in the distance, and there were boundless pines and cypresses even further away.
The fresh air is drifting in the wind, the mountain springs and waterfalls are connected from the clouds, and there are no human traces anywhere. It is a good place for cultivating immortals.
There was a small thatched cottage not far away, and Shennong's voice came from the side:
"come on."
Wu Wan did not dare to take a closer look at the surrounding scenery and quickly followed.
There was the sound of cranes crowing in the distance. Two white cranes spread their wings and flew over. They circled around the thatched cottage for a while, dropped the Ganoderma lucidum in their mouths, and then flew away again.
There is a small fenced yard in front of the thatched cottage.
Shennong walked to the front of the courtyard and shook his wooden staff. A strong wind blew by, and the stone tables and benches piled with fallen leaves under the trees became dust-free.
"Come, come, sit down."
Wu Wan did not refuse, and sat down opposite Shennong, sitting quite upright.
"Where should I begin with you?"
Shen Nong held his beard and groaned softly, and said slowly: "Wuwang, your spiritual will is not weak, it is obvious that you have practiced the Beiye Star Prayer Technique.
Now that you have mastered the Qianna Jue and gained the Qi Gathering Realm, someone must have secretly opened a convenient door for you, blocking the Starry Sky Temple's induction.
Is your mother the leader of the Kitano Seven-Day Festival in the past few hundred years? "
"Yes, my mother's name is Cangxue."
"So, Star God's control over Bei Ye has loosened a bit."
Shennong murmured to himself and then smiled: "The Beiye human race can be so prosperous, which can be regarded as an extra guarantee for the blood of the race, which is really good."
Wu Huan thought for a while and asked: "Senior, isn't the situation in the human realm optimistic?"
"It's okay. I just suddenly thought that someone was making noises in my ears before, saying that they wanted to bring the Nine Wild Human Races together into the human realm. Some people also said that the best situation for the human race is now scattered across the world."
Shennong's expression was slightly disgusted, and he was obviously very annoyed.
Then he returned to his previous gentle smile, took off his raincoat and put it aside. You could see that there were still some stains on his toga.
Be informal.
"They often argue about the same issue, and they can't reach a conclusion for hundreds of years. Let's not mention this, let's talk about your strange disease."
Wu Wan immediately cheered up.
Shennong said: "Have you ever heard of the ancient divine war?"
"I have heard that most of the documents that Beiye can collect have been read by this junior."
"It's easy to talk to you," Shennong said with a smile, "The root cause of your strange illness is that ancient divine war."
Wu Wan's brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan".
What is the principle?
"Then?" Wu Wan asked tentatively.
"There's only so much I can say to you now," Shen Nong's Fu Xu chuckled.
Wu Wan almost slammed the table and stood up, but after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that he should respect this boss.
After all, it can't be beaten.
Wu Wan said listlessly: "Thank you, senior."
Shennong smiled and said: "Don't be sad so quickly. Your strange disease is caused by the innate gods, but it is not only the innate gods who cast a curse on you that can cure it.
I have a method that can help you achieve success in your practice, and also help you get rid of the scourge of strange diseases.
But this method is quite precious..."
"How precious is it?" Wu Wan asked hurriedly, "Senior, please make it clear."
"This method is related to the future of the human realm," Shennong said with some deep meaning, "but as long as you practice this method to the ninth level, the strange disease will disappear on its own."
"really?"
"really."
Wu Wan blinked: "Is this skill only at the ninth level? It is related to the inheritance of the Human Emperor. Once you reach the highest level, you can become the next Human Emperor, and you will have the power to fight against the innate gods?"
"Hahaha, you are really smart."
"Senior, are you really willing to teach me this technique?"
"Well," Shennong said, "Doctors are kind-hearted. If there is a way to cure your strange disease, you shouldn't keep it secret, but this matter is indeed of great importance...
How about you say something nice to listen to?
Maybe I’ll just smile and give you this opportunity. "
Sounds good!
Wu Wan felt dumbfounded for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and sat there looking at Shennong, with some images emerging in his heart.
[Volunteer Wu Wang! You are the only volunteer to reach the wormhole! The fate of the entire human race is tied to your wrist!
If you can come back alive, you will be the hero, the biggest hero!
If you can't come back, your contribution will not be forgotten, and it will never be forgotten!
For the volunteers who died before reaching the edge of the wormhole, you will also give the meaning of their sacrifices! 】
"senior."
Wu Wan looked a little tired and whispered:
"I'm not evading responsibility, nor am I afraid of taking responsibility. Can you explain to me why it's me?
You found me today not just because of my strange illness.
If the human race in the wilderness needs me to stand up, I can stand up, but I must take the initiative.
I want to make my own decisions and not be held hostage in any name. "
Shennong stared at Wu Wang, his smile gradually faded, and he said seriously: "I don't know how you can hone such a mind in Beiye, a place with simple folk customs."
Wu Wan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Shennong said: "I would like to ask you, if the human realm is in danger of being overthrown, and you are completely unable to defeat a powerful enemy, would you be willing to risk your life to fight?"
Wu Wang thought for a while and replied: "If it is the human race that is in danger of being overthrown, and not just the human race in the human domain, I will risk my life and fight."
"Here, the opportunity is here, it depends on whether you can seize it."
A blaze of fire flew out of Shennong's sleeves. The fire gathered together and never dispersed, forming a wooden sign in front of Wu Huan.
This wooden sign is generally trapezoidal with a wide upper part and a narrow lower part. In the center is a light white flame that keeps jumping. The left and right sides are carved with complicated runes. These runes seem to have evolved from hieroglyphics. Wu Huan has no idea what they mean. .
The wooden sign slowly rotated, and the huge word 'flame' on the back was revealed.
Wu Wan tried to reach out and touch it, and balls of flames appeared on the wooden sign and floated into the air.
"This is the order of Emperor Yan.
The deadline is one month. If you can get its recognition, you will be the owner of the Yandi Order.
It contains the first monastic book in the human realm. This is the only solution to your strange disease! "
Two hot flames ignited in Wu Wan's eyes.
He completely didn't notice the subtle curve of the corner of the mouth of the big man in front of him, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
Two hours later.
Dang, Dang!
In the mountain forest on the north side of the thatched cottage, Wu Huan was wearing a short shirt, trousers, and leather boots, with his long hair simply tied behind his head. He was sweating profusely and wielding a stone ax, chopping down the giant tree in front of him.
Behind Wu Huan, the Flame Emperor Token floated quietly, and the flames on it danced slightly.
Emperor Yan ordered the first test to recognize the master!
[A strong body is the basic quality of the successor of the Human Emperor. Without relying on the power of praying for stars or practicing magic, he cut down a hundred trees here and carried the logs back to the vicinity of the thatched cottage. 】
Fight for strength and physical strength, Kitano man has nothing to fear!
Wu Wan carried the ax and went up the mountain. He claimed to be a master of praying for stars and gathering energy. He chose the thickest woods and cut down the tallest giant trees!
This is the dignity of Cangshan men and the face of their Bear Hug clan. How could he, the young master, be embarrassed in front of the king of the human realm?
So Wu Wang worked hard to cut down the wood for half an hour.
"Ha, ha... Gu."
Wu Wan held on to the half-cut tree trunk, raised his head and took a sip of the spring water he had just fetched. During that period of panting, his whole body was soaked with sweat.
Forget it, he is a mage who can cast spells from a distance, and he cannot force himself to have the physique of warriors.
I can't use my breath, I haven't practiced it regularly, and I can't use the Star Prayer Technique. I just choose this thickest giant tree, and I can't complete the first task in a month.
The next best thing is to settle for the next best thing.
Wu Wang carried the ax and dragged the two repaired logs, and slowly rushed towards the forest next door.
half a day later;
Ah, it doesn't mean it can't be used if it's more detailed.
Two days later;
It’s not easy for a tree to live for a thousand years. Go ahead and cut down the trees that are less than a hundred years old. That’s great. Namo Gatling Bodhisattva.
Seven days later.
Wu Wan sat paralyzed next to the thatched hut, looking at the empty thatched hut and the missing Yandi Shennong. He took the elixir in front of him, and a hot breath suddenly appeared in his body, and his whole body felt like it was of no use. Complete strength.
This is……
'Sure enough, senior thinks that I focus on spiritual cultivation and physical fitness is my weakness. '
Thank you, senior!
Wu Huan bowed to the empty thatched cottage. The Yan Emperor Ling floating behind him trembled slightly. Words emerged in Wu Huan's heart. The second test had come!
[Build houses so that humans can withstand wind, frost, rain and snow when they are weak.
Please use these wood and build a building that you are most satisfied with as soon as possible without using the Star Prayer. 】
This level seems to just allow you to build a building, but in fact it also hides a test of your aesthetic and planning abilities.
Senior Shen Nong took action, and it was indeed extraordinary.
Wu Wan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and a wooden hall slowly emerged in his heart.
Opening his eyes and looking at the logs piled up in front of him, he roared, tore open his shirt and rushed forward with a big ax in hand.
Show up!
Aoki Shrine·Shrunk version!
So, another half month later.
A ten-foot-high hall rises from the forest. The hall is green in color and is divided into three floors. Although there are no cornices and carved dragons, the gleaming wooden treasure on the top floor is particularly conspicuous.
Wu Wan couldn't help but burst into tears as he stood in this building that had been polished to perfection.
Did you make this by yourself?
Thanks to the senior for arranging the test and giving him such an opportunity to re-recognize himself.
It turns out that being a carpenter also brings endless happiness...
Buzz! Buzz!
The Emperor Yan's order trembled slightly, but the content of the third test still emerged in Wu Wan's heart.
[Water is the source of life. In the early years, human beings lived by water and migrated with it.
Please dig a stream to lead the clear spring from the top of the mountain and flow beside the building you built. 】
Wu Fan raised his arms, roared, and rushed towards the forest with his ax in hand.
Three days later, a stream appeared behind the wooden palace.
Two days later, the forest land not far from the wooden palace was reclaimed, and a large medicinal garden was added. Wu Wan, who was now almost perfectly integrated with the place, planted seedlings one by one in the medicinal garden with a wooden basket on his back.
Two days later...and two days later...
There is an elegant villa halfway up the mountain.
Finally, Shennong came slowly with a long staff, looking at the ingenious arrangements everywhere, nodding with satisfaction.
And Wu Wang also received the last test ordered by Emperor Yan.
[Migration is often due to the need to avoid disasters that cannot be resisted.
Please move the things from the original wooden house to the main hall, arrange them well, and experience the difficulty of human migration in ancient times. 】
Wu Wan laughed a few times, and like a whirlwind, he ran back and forth between the original wooden house and the Aoki Hall, and soon carried wooden boxes and cupboards over.
And when he finished placing the last wooden box, the Emperor Yan's Token that had been floating behind him slowly fell into Wu Wan's palm.
The flames on it converged on their own, the warm breath penetrated into his palm, and a mantra slowly emerged in his heart.
This is!
Wu Xian sighed slightly and held the token, unable to calm down for a long time.
He did it!
Do you have to shoulder such a difficult task when you come to the wilderness?
Ah, the happy life of a young master will be gone forever from today onwards...
Click, click, click!
Wu Wanxun looked around and saw the last wooden box he had just moved.
Perhaps because it was too old, and he put it down too hard just now, the wooden bars on the sides of the wooden box collapsed on their own, and the wooden signs slipped from it, directly submerging Wu Wan's feet.
Why do these wooden signs look so...familiar...
Wu Wan lowered his head and looked at the wooden sign on the ground, at the extremely familiar runes, at the flaming characters like dragons and phoenixes, and at the strange material that was hard to define at first glance...
He picked one up and could feel the warm breath entering his palm, and the mantra he had just obtained resurfaced in his heart.
Coming out of the palace gate, Shen Nong Yan Emperor, who was coming with a staff, silently retracted the soles of his protruded feet.
"senior."
Wu Wan's voice was like a cold wind. The black lines on his forehead spread everywhere and engulfed the corners of the temple. His lowered head was slightly raised, and a sharp red light appeared in his eyes.
Wu Wan let out a cry and rushed out with the ax he was already familiar with.
The old man with bare feet and raincoat turned around and ran away, holding a wooden stick and lighting out patches of wild flowers in the passing places. The old man's laughter and the young man's roar echoed in the forest.
"Oh hahahaha~ Being disrespectful to the Emperor is a grave sin!"
"Seniors must not be insulted! The Beiye people are not under your control!"
"Young man, you have to be reasonable, hahaha! Aren't you very happy with this process! I originally just wanted to build an alchemy room here, but who knew you were so tyrannical and could build a palace without using magic."
"You give me back my dream of saving the world! How determined I was to accept the Emperor Yan's order!"
"Hahahaha! You can be made of, you can be made of, I suddenly want to train you!"
"No need! I don't need it! Young people's dreams are the most precious!"
That day, Wu Wang accomplished a feat that even the Emperor of Heaven had never accomplished. He chased the contemporary emperor across the mountains and plains with his sword raised, from dusk to starry night.
