C68 (1/2)
Under Xiu'er's astonished gaze, Chen Tianming slowly stood up and left his seat, he pushed the door and walked out, after taking a few steps, he turned around and waved at Xiu'er, telling her to quickly follow him.
The two of them walked on the narrow gravel path, one in front of the other, until they came to a small pavilion. The pavilion was very ordinary, with five thin pillars supporting a small thatched roof. There was nothing in the middle of the pavilion, only the wide balustrade between the pillars.
Chen Tianming smiled slightly towards Xiu'er, and without saying much, he squatted in the middle of the pavilion. His body slowly started to emit a white fluorescent light. This light was like a thin layer of clothes that tightly stuck to his body, making him seem holy. Chen Tianming seemed to have already gotten used to this kind of appearance, he merely squatted there quietly, and waited for the white glow to reach a certain degree. He slowly extended his right hand and pressed onto the ground. The next moment, the white glow surrounding him started to fluctuate like a stream of water. Then it slowly retreated from his body and flowed down his palm to the ground. After the white light around his body disappeared, Chen Tianming slowly stood up and smiled at the Xiu'er, then said softly, ”It will only take a while more.”
After several breaths of time, the ground began to emit a white light. The light passed through the gaps between the stone slabs and emitted out, causing the stone slabs to appear as if they were floating in the air, making them seem extremely dreamy. As the white light became brighter, the four flagstones in the middle started to slowly melt. They kept shrinking until they disappeared, leaving only a hole in the wall that was covered in white light.
”Lord Xiu, please.” After Chen Tianming finished speaking, he took the lead to enter the cave. Xiu'er was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly lifted his leg and followed along.
The cave entrance was not large, just large enough for a person to pass through. Through the white light, one could see the stone steps beneath their feet. The two of them walked forward in silence, as if they were walking through the same place.
The stone steps descended at a very large angle. After a long distance, the slope slowly slowed down until it became a flat road. However, even if it became a flat road, the cave didn't change at all. It was still narrow and short. It was fortunate that there was a faint fluorescent light revolving around it. Otherwise, she might accidentally crash into something. The only thing that made Xiu'er feel that this cave was different from the others was that it was not stuffy at all. A light breeze brushed against her face from time to time, and this gust of wind seemed to have existed here since the ancient times, giving people an indescribable feeling. Was this feeling intoxicated? Kowtow? Respect? Was it shock? Or kind? Xiu'er did not know.
After walking for the time it took an incense stick to burn, Xiu'er had already seen the end of the cave from Chen Tianming's shoulder. It was also at this moment that Chen Tianming turned around and gave a slight signal before turning around to the side.
The place he turned in was a little twisted, and when Xiu'er saw his back again, she had already forgotten about greeting Chen Tianming. She was completely shocked by the scene in front of her.
Looking up, she could vaguely see something above. Looking down, she could not even see the bottom of the abyss, but an ancient hurricane was constantly blowing out from the deepest parts of the cave, blowing Xiu'er's hair in all directions, and in the deep and seemingly endless darkness, there seemed to be a hidden force attracting the Xiu'er, causing her to have an impulse to jump down.
”Lord Xiu, please look over there. Look carefully.” Chen Tianming seemed to have already gotten used to it. He gave the Xiu'er some space and raised his hand, pointing towards the sky.
Xiu'er retracted her thoughts, and looked towards the empty space where Chen Tianming was pointing at with great effort. After his eyes got used to the darkness, she finally saw what Chen Tianming was pointing at.
A black pillar.
”This cave is circular, and is approximately three hundred meters in size. The black pillar in the middle is the Beast God Pagoda you saw outside. The Beast God Temple is right above us. ” Chen Tianming said indifferently.
Xiu'er took a deep breath, ”This place is the Beast God's tomb?”
Chen Tianming laughed, ”Lord Xiu, what do you think the Beast God's tomb looks like? There is a big mound of earth, and a stone tablet in front of it has the words Beast God's Tomb written on it? ”
The Xiu'er also laughed involuntarily. That's right, after all it was the God's Tomb, so what form was important?
Chen Tianming sat down cross legged, and pointed in front of him: ”Lord Xiu, please sit. In front of the Beast God's tomb, this old man will tell you about the matters regarding Beast God.”
The Xiu'er sat down as instructed. The moment her body touched the ground, the voice in her heart sounded once again. This time, the voice was exceptionally clear, as though it had just resounded in her ears: ”Child, you've finally arrived.” After saying that, the voice disappeared, as if it had never existed.
These few numbers nearly caused Xiu'er to lose her ability to move, causing her limbs to be unable to move. She sat there stiffly, at a loss of what to do.
Chen Tianming glanced at Xiu'er, and then, as if nothing had happened, he said indifferently, ”Everyone knows that the Beast God respects and respects the Beast God, and believes in him. Actually, what they didn't know was that Beast God wasn't one, but two. But now, there is only one left. The other one has already passed away not too long ago. ”
The words that came out of his mouth caused Xiu'er to be extremely shocked. These words revealed too much information. One dead? Could the Beast God still die? Even an outsider like Xiu'er, who was not a person from the Moqiu State, would feel aghast upon hearing these words. It was not hard to imagine what kind of impact these words would have on a person from the Moqiu State if they were spread out.
Beast God will die too? Beast God can also die! Then, would they still have to believe in the Beast God who would die?
With all her might to suppress the shock in her heart, Xiu'er sat down with her head lowered, quietly listening to Chen Tianming's following words.
”Lord Xiu” Chen Tianming did not finish her sentence, but looked at Xiu'er with a faint smile on her face, ”What this old man is about to say, may be a little world shocking. If the Lord doesn't believe me, then just treat it as me dying of old loneliness and find a friend to tell me a boring story. ”
Xiu'er nodded her head, ”Lord Messenger of God, please speak your mind, Xiu'er will make his judgement.”
”Alright.” Chen Tianming slightly nodded, raised his eyes and looked at the black stone pillar that seemed to have merged with the cave wall, and with slightly parted lips, he began to tell the story that he had never told anyone before.
In the ancient era long, long ago, the world still did not have Fire Phoenix Empire, nor did it have the Mo Qiu Empire. People lived on a boundless continent. Four Divine Beasts resided in the four corners of the continent, guarding the peace of this continent. Perhaps it was due to the peace that allowed the divine beasts to relax a little. They would often enter a long period of sleep and sleep for ten million years at a time. This was enough time for most people on the continent to forget about their existence.
