Chapter 119 - the Seven Monsters of the Sky Mountain 2(fourth update)
Including senior Xu, three people had agreed, leaving four people.
The fourth freak was the inheritor of the ancient totem.
This was a profession, a profession that should have disappeared in the long river of history.
Totems were the objects of worship for the ancient people. At that time, cultivation was not obvious, and demonic beasts were powerful. Humans worshipped these demonic beasts, and all kinds of totems appeared.
However, as humans explored the path of cultivation, their totem beliefs collapsed and fell into silence. By now, there was no more information about totems.
Just as he approached the area of the totem inheritor, Ye Sheng saw countless huge stones erected and carved into various totem shapes.
There was a human-faced lion body, a human body with a snake tail, and a ferocious face with three heads and six arms..
Ye Sheng could see one every once in a while.
These totems were all carved by the inheritor. They were probably placed here for the sake of missing him.
Senior Xu brought Ye Sheng through the totem forest and saw the inheritor.
A thin and weak middle-aged man with an unkempt appearance was carving a huge stone. His body was covered in dust.
When the inheritor saw Ye Sheng and senior xu arrive, he stopped and sat on the ground. He looked at ye Sheng and said, “You want me to agree?”
Ye Sheng nodded.
“Sure, I can agree. Anyway, it would be a waste to leave that thing there,”the inheritor said indifferently.
“What’s the condition?”Ye Sheng asked.
“Smart, the condition is very simple. Carve a totem for me and tell me a part of his mythical history,”the inheritor said with Bright Eyes.
Senior Xu frowned and said coldly, “So what if you’re not satisfied with the totem and the story?”
“There’s nothing I can do about it. You have to impress me. You can make up a story,”the inheritor said lightly.
Ye Sheng Thought for a moment, picked up the tool in the inheritor’s hand, and began to carve.
Not long after the construction of this big stone started, Ye Sheng happened to carve on
it.
While carving, Ye Sheng began to tell the story.
Pangu splitting open the sky!
The totem that Ye Sheng carved was Pangu, the beginning of Chinese mythology. Pangu splitting open the sky and the Earth, creating the world today, and then exhausting himself, transforming into all living things.
Ye Sheng spent the whole morning carving this.
The majestic Pangu was carved, and he was holding a huge axe in his hand.
The inheritor listened to the story and was fascinated. He was stunned, and a huge wave rose in his heart.
The creation of Heaven and earth was made by totems, and everything originated from Pangu. It was a perfect idea.
After Ye Sheng finished the work, the inheritor looked at the five-meter-tall Pangu with excitement and said, “I agree. Go and get the pill furnace. This story and this statue are enough.”
The inheritor was in a daze. After being inspired by Ye Sheng, his inspiration gushed out like a tide. He was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he wished he could record his thoughts. He had no time to care about Ye Sheng and senior Xu.
“The story is not bad.”On the way to the next strange person’s house, senior Xu said.
Ye Sheng said, “I also heard it from others.”
“If this story could have existed a few years ago and used it as a foundation to develop a complete system, the ancient totem would not have declined to such a state where there is only one inheritor,”senior Xu said regretfully.
Ye Sheng could not reply, so he simply did not say anything.
After walking for a while, Ye Sheng saw a huge cemetery.
The cemetery was filled with white cherry blossom trees that bloomed brightly. The neatly arranged tombs were built very well. The only pity was that none of these tombs had a tombstone.
en
The tomb keeper was also one of the Seven Monsters of the Sky Mountain.
The Seven Monsters of the Sky Mountain rarely went down the mountain. A few people would only go down the mountain once every few years. Only the tomb keeper would go out once in a while and return with a few corpses.
This cemetery was built using this method.
Ye Sheng and senior Xu came to the entrance of the cemetery and found the door open, as if welcoming them.
The cherry blossoms were slowly falling to the ground and disappeared in an instant.
Senior XU said, “You can go in. I Won’t go in.”
Ye Sheng didn’t know why she didn’t go in, but since she mentioned it, it meant that she didn’t want to go in.
He could only go in alone.
There were a few tombs at the entrance. Ye Sheng saw them and nodded one by one, walking all the way.
At the center of the cemetery, there was a thatched cottage. In front of the thatched cottage, there was a white-haired old man who was looking at Ye Sheng with a cane.
“Senior, “Ye Sheng respectfully walked over and said.
“You want the Pill Furnace?”The tomb keeper asked.
He was very old, even older than the sword-wielding old man Ye Sheng had seen. His body was also emitting an aura of decrepitude, and his old eyes seemed to be blurry.
However, Ye Sheng would not underestimate him. If that was the case, would senior Xu be so afraid that he would not dare to come in?
“I want it, “Ye Sheng said truthfully.
“Very good. To tell the truth, it’s easy for you to want it. I’m the same as the previous few people, so the requirements are not difficult. There are 108 tombs here. You clean them once. I’m old, so I can’t do this kind of work. You Do it,”the tomb keeper said indifferently.
“Okay,”Ye Sheng agreed immediately. It was just to clean the tombs of 108 people. What was so difficult about it.
Holding a broom and a dustpan, Ye Sheng began to clean.
When he cleaned the first tomb, Ye Sheng felt very relaxed and completed it quickly.
But when he cleaned the second tomb, Ye Sheng felt that there was a sound in his ear.
When he was sweeping the third tomb, Ye Sheng knew that this was the voice of the soul in the tomb.
He was not nervous. Instead, he took the initiative to start a conversation with the other party. The other party ignored ye Sheng and spoke to Ye Sheng in a sinister and terrifying tone.
Ye Sheng did as he pleased, allowing the other party to whisper in his ear. He was completely fearless as he carefully swept through the 108 tombs,
after cleaning up, 108 voices sounded in Ye Sheng’s ears. They were intertwined and extremely mixed.
If it was an ordinary person who came here, they would definitely feel afraid. However, Ye Sheng was completely different. He allowed hese ‘ghosts’to mumble as he came before the tomb keeper and said, “I’ve finished cleaning up.”
“You didn’t hear any strange sounds?”The tomb keeper asked.
Ye sheng smiled and said, “I did. In the beginning, it was just one person, but now it’s 108 people talking. I can’t hear them clearly. It’s as chaotic as a vegetable market.”
The gravekeeper was stunned.
The 108 voices beside Ye Sheng’s ears also stopped at the same time. They had nothing to say. They had scared ye Sheng once and ended up with the same evaluation as a vegetable market.
He was tired.
The tomb keeper sighed and said, “You should go and find the next one. I don’t want that Pill Furnace.”
“Thank you, senior, “Ye Sheng said happily and turned around to leave.
After Ye Sheng came out, senior xu said with satisfaction, “Well done.”
Ye Sheng smiled calmly and followed senior Xu to the last two families.
Human Demon, broken blade master.
