Such a change really made people feel extremely astonished.
Lin Feng calmed himself down. No matter what happened, he had to face it with a calm mind. If he panicked, then the situation would be worse. Lin Feng was very clear about this.
Looking at the blooming plum blossoms in the garden, Lin Feng felt a little emotional. Was this the grand scene of the past? It was quite beautiful.
Lin Feng strolled through the plum blossom garden. He suddenly thought of a poem and couldn't help but recite it.
Flowers swayed and fell alone, occupying the mood of the little garden.
Sparse shadows slanted across the clear water, a faint fragrance floated in the evening.
The frosty birds stole a glance before descending, the pink butterflies broke their souls if they knew.
Fortunately, there was a slight recitation to share, no need for sandalwood and a golden cup.
The mood of this poem was very compatible with the current situation. The fragrance of the plum blossoms made people linger and forget to return. However, Lin Feng wasn't in the mood to tour the garden today. He was thinking about some things, and he was thinking about the woman he had seen before.
At that moment, the sound of a zither came from the depths of the garden. It was melodious and pleasant to listen to. Lin Feng didn't know who was playing the zither, but he thought of the woman. Could it be her?
Lin Feng walked deeper into the garden and saw a pavilion. Sure enough, there was a woman sitting in the pavilion. That woman was dressed in snow-white clothes. She was beautiful and had a noble temperament. She was as beautiful as the Goddess of Luo. She gave people the feeling that she could only be seen from afar and not touched.
If there was an artist here, they could draw this scene on a scroll. It would definitely become a painting that would be passed down for generations.
Lin Feng knew. That woman wasn't a real woman. Or a female ghost? Or a female corpse? But no matter what, she shouldn't have such a beautiful face. However, she was so beautiful. If he used his Eye of Origin to look at her, he would be able to see her.
Perhaps he would be able to see what her real body looked like, but Lin Feng didn't do that. It was better to admire beautiful things and beautiful people.
Lin Feng stood outside the pavilion and listened to the zither. After a long time, the zither music ended. Lin Feng clapped his hands and said, "Fairy's zither skills are superb. I really admire you."
"Young Master, how should I address you?" The woman asked.
Lin Feng introduced himself, "My surname is Lin, and my given name is Feng."
The woman replied, "So it's Lin Gongzi. Nice to meet you."
Asked Lin Feng. "What's your name, celestial being?"
A sad expression appeared on the woman's beautiful face. She said, "My name is Mei Niang."
"Could it be that Mei Niang is trapped here?" Asked Lin Feng. Lin Feng couldn't help but ask.
"That's right."
Mei Niang sighed and said, "Actually, I'm sure you've already noticed that I'm already dead. My corpse is buried here, and only a remnant of my soul is trapped here. I've been struggling at death's door until now. When I saw you come in, I brought you here to tell you the whole story."
As she said that, she started to cry again.
Cry.
It seemed to be a woman's trump card.
Even though Mei Niang was only a female ghost now, she still liked to cry like a normal woman.
Of course.
When women cried, it wasn't just because they liked to cry. Most of the time, women cried to gain sympathy from others. This was especially true for beautiful women. Once they started crying, who wouldn't feel sorry for them?
Men.
They all had tender feelings for the fairer sex.
Lin Feng asked, "Can Mei Niang tell me what happened here in the past?"
Mei Niang replied, "This place was originally called Stone City, and it was one of the most powerful ancient cities controlled by the Stone Clan during the Xiantian Era. I'm sure you know that during the Xiantian Era, many terrifying existences were born. During that time, many experts from the Stone Clan were born.
"At that time, I was young and got to know two young people. One of them was a Stone Clan cultivator who had long since grasped the Dao of Flesh and Blood. The other was an ordinary Xiantian lifeform.
"I'm sure you've seen the two stone people outside. That cyan stone person is a Stone Clan cultivator. I call him Brother Qing."
When he heard that, Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. It was said that during the early days of the Xiantian Era, surnames weren't completely common yet. Thus, even many experts were quite casual when they came up with names.
Mei Niang continued, "The other person is called Shang Wenkang.
Because we've traveled together for many years, our relationship is very good. At that time, Shang Wenkang asked Brother Qing for advice on the Stone Clan's Flesh and Blood Transformation Technique. He also wanted to walk this path. "
Lin Feng asked in surprise, "Brother Qing's Flesh and Blood Transformation Technique was passed down through the Stone Clan, right? Shang Wenkang is a Xiantian lifeform, not a member of the Stone Clan. How can he cultivate Brother Qing's technique? "
Mei Niang replied, "Young Master, you might not know this, but Brother Qing's Flesh and Blood Transformation Technique is very special. Stone Clan cultivators can transform into flesh and blood, and flesh and blood can transform into Stone Clan cultivators' bodies. It's not only suitable for oneself, but also for others."
Lin Feng couldn't help but think to himself, "When the Stone Clan later evolved, they liked to transform their bodies into flesh and blood. The next time they evolved, they would transform into Stone Clan cultivators' bodies. After going back and forth many times, their battle prowess would increase many times over. Could it be that the Stone Clan has many special cultivation techniques like this? Brother Qing's technique must be one of the best. Later on, this technique was improved by others, and other clans were able to cultivate it as well."
Mei Niang continued, "Brother Qing is a righteous person. Since Shang Wenkang wanted to learn, Brother Qing taught these techniques to Shang Wenkang.
"However, Shang Wenkang was too impatient in his cultivation, and his cultivation went berserk. He was lucky enough to survive, but he felt that the technique Brother Qing gave him wasn't the correct one. Thus, he and Brother Qing became enemies."
"Is that even possible?" Lin Feng couldn't help but be speechless. How could there be such a person in this world who repaid kindness with enmity? Moreover, this Shang Wenkang had a very close relationship with Brother Qing before.
Why would he suspect Brother Qing like this?
Lin Feng felt that there might be more to this than met the eye. He then asked, "Did something else happen in between?"
Mei Niang bitterly smiled as she nodded and said, "Shang Wenkang once expressed his love for me, but I only felt feelings for him as a friend. The person I love is Brother Qing. Whether it's his character or anything else, Brother Qing is impeccable."
"Brother Qing also liked me very much. When the conditions were right, success came naturally to us. However, Brother Qing found out that Shang Wenkang had expressed his love for me before and was rejected by me. Thus, Brother Qing was worried that Shang Wenkang would be very sad if he found out that we were together. Brother Qing wanted to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Shang Wenkang about this matter. However, he didn't expect that Shang Wenkang would find out about our relationship beforehand."
