Since he was here, Ding Ning naturally would not miss the chance to understand this place. Perhaps the murals could help him understand what this place was.
Ding Ning focused his gaze. The first mural was a few humanoid creatures that could not be any simpler.
Just as he was feeling disappointed and thought that he could not understand what the mural was describing, his entire mind seemed to be pulled by the mural. His vision blurred, and he suddenly appeared in a world filled with desolation as though he had transmigrated.
"Yu Wang, I am not questioning the theory of the ancestors. I just think that the human body contains endless treasures. Only by excavating the treasures of the human body can we better benefit humanity."
"Hmph! Chi You, that is treason. The Shennong has tasted hundreds of herbs to benefit the human world, and you dare to question the theory of the ancestors? "
"I said that I am not questioning. Why can't we develop a new train of thought based on the theory of the ancestors?"
Two tribal men wrapped in animal skins and with feathers on their heads were arguing endlessly. They ignored Ding Ning who was standing at the side and finally parted on bad terms.
Ding Ning was shocked. These two people were Chi You and Yan Di. Could it be that this terrifying place was related to Chi You or Yan Di?
Ever since he had read the ancient text from Master Meditation, Ding Ning had paid special attention to their information. The Shennong had ruled the world for more than two thousand years. Yu Wang was the name of the eighth generation Yan Di of the Shennong. Therefore, he immediately realized that he had entered the era of Chi You. This mural was indeed magical.
The story that happened in the mural was not much different from what was recorded in the ancient text. There was not much difference in the main direction of the story, but there were many differences in the details.
The records in the mural were clearly more detailed than in the ancient text. It revealed a secret of the primordial era.
Before the primordial era, there was a primeval era and an even more distant primordial era.
In the primordial era, when the gods created the world, they created thousands of ignorant creatures. They struggled to reproduce and survive in the natural disasters of nature.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest. In that era, many of the human races were the weakest existences. They were enslaved by the strongest demons and even used as food. This caused many races to perish and disappear in the long river of history.
It was not until the ancient times that humans were unwilling to be enslaved that they gradually came up with a cultivation system. In the end, many powerful beings that could rival the gods were born. They defeated the demons and became the masters of the world.
But because the human world could not bear the power of the gods fighting, it was almost destroyed. The God of Creation naturally could not watch the human world be destroyed, so he made new rules of the world, so those gods and demons who were strong enough to cause harm to the human world left the earth and entered the world of immortals or demons. They would manage the human world on his behalf, but they were not allowed to directly intervene in the affairs of the human world.
In ancient times, there were no longer any gods in the human world. However, people at that time were full of reverence for the gods. The Xuan Nv Tribe was the descendant of the Goddess of War, the Ninth Heaven Xuan Nv. They managed the human world on behalf of the gods and had an extraordinary status.
Chiyou was a genius and a mad scientist. Yes, in Ding Ning's opinion, he was a mad scientist.
He was not only an alchemist, a refiner, an artist, a Yin-Yang scholar, and a politician, but also the earliest inventor of criminal law. Bows and arrows, witchcraft, traps, bronzeware, pottery, ritual utensils, palaces, and burial systems were all created by him.
If that was all, Ding Ning would only respect and worship him at most. He would never think of him as a mad scientist.
The reason he was called a lunatic was because not only did he refine his eighty-one brothers into monsters that were impervious to weapons, he even refined himself into a weapon using the art of refining. In the end, he refined himself into an extremely powerful Weapon Grandmaster War God.
The mural suddenly stopped when Chiyou led the army and fought the Yan and Huang tribal alliance. Ding Ning's thoughts wandered, but at the same time, he felt he had not had enough.
From the mural, Ding Ning could roughly guess where this place was. It was very likely that this was the former residence of the Jiuli tribe. However, he did not know why it had appeared on this deserted island.
Thousands of years had passed. The riddle of history was not something he could solve. Right now, he only hoped to find a way out as soon as possible and leave this place with Luoxue and the mermaid. This place was far too strange.
He continued forward along the tunnel. A bone-chilling coldness came and Ding Ning could not help but shiver.
Stepping out of the tunnel, Ding Ning felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife. He stared unblinkingly at a transparent ice coffin in a huge cave in front of him. His entire body trembled violently and a monstrous evil aura rose.
The ice coffin was sparkling and translucent, and inside it lay a peerlessly beautiful woman. Eight iron chains, which were exactly the same as the ones that bound the mermaid, pierced through her body, and her heart was pierced by a shining, hiltless blade. She looked so poignant and beautiful.
"Demon, who is it? Who killed you? Tell me, tell me, ahhh … "
Ding Ning did not care about the bone-chilling coldness at all. His eyes were red as he knelt in front of the ice coffin. Looking at the beautiful woman in the ice coffin, he gave out a beast-like howl of pain.
Even though he had only spent one night with the woman in front of him and it had happened in a muddled state, she was still his first woman after all. Her peerlessly beautiful face had long been deeply imprinted in his mind and he would never forget it for the rest of his life.
But he never thought that the seductress whose name he didn't even know, the seductress who helped him get rid of his virginity, would die a tragic death here, forever separated from him. How could he not be heartbroken?
Separated by life and death, separated by yin and yang, he didn't even know who the enemy was. Even if he wanted to avenge her, he couldn't do anything. That kind of powerlessness and monstrous anger made him open the ice coffin with trembling hands. He held up her face, which was still lifelike even though her eyes were tightly closed. Two drops of bloody tears flowed down his cheeks. "I swear, no matter who killed you, as long as I find out, I will definitely tear him into pieces and grind his bones into ashes to comfort your soul in heaven."
"I've finally waited for you!"
A woman's voice suddenly sounded in Ding Ning's mind like the sounds of nature, but it made his hair stand on end. He shivered all over and looked around. He said sternly, "Who is it? Come out. Don't play tricks!"
"Hey! Just now you said that you would avenge me, and now you say that I am playing tricks. Little guy, you don't keep your word. "
The woman's voice came from the ice coffin. Ding Ning looked down and found that the demon had opened her eyes and was looking at him without blinking. Her eyes were as bright as stars. She did not look like a dead person at all.
"You … you are not dead? That's great, that's great, you're not dead, that's great, I'll never let you leave me again. "
Ding Ning's eyes were wet and his body was trembling. The ecstasy in his heart made his mind go blank. He repeatedly murmured like a fool.
"I am not dead now, but I will die soon."
The woman looked at him calmly. There was no sadness, no panic, no fear, and no sadness. It was as if she was talking about an extremely ordinary matter.
Ding Ning's heart tightened. He looked at her nervously and shook his head desperately. "Demon, you will not die. I will definitely save you. Believe me, you will not die."
"Demon?"
A trace of astonishment flashed in the woman's eyes. She suddenly smiled like a blooming flower. It was extremely beautiful. "Little guy, I am not a demon."
"I don't know what your name is."
Ding Ning grinned embarrassedly. He immediately reacted and said with some embarrassment and anger, "What little guy? No matter what, I am also your man. "
A trace of embarrassment and anger flashed across the woman's pale face. "What nonsense are you talking about? What man?"
"Ah!"
Ding Ning scratched his head and thought that she was shy. He coughed embarrassedly. "Don't talk first. Let me check your body and see how your injuries are."
The woman's long eyelashes suddenly flickered. "No need. I am already very satisfied that I can wait until you come and make arrangements for my funeral."
Ding Ning's heart sank. He said in a panic, "No, you will definitely be fine. I will definitely cure you. Believe me, my medical skills are very good."
"It's useless. Unless your medical skills are better than Chiyou's, even if the gods are in the world, they can't save me."
The woman spoke unhurriedly. Her gaze fell on the stone man on his chest. A trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.
Ding Ning's body stiffened and his heart sank. Chiyou? That was the Weapon Grandmaster who refined himself like a weapon. He was indeed ashamed of his inferiority.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Little guy, I think you have mistaken me for someone else. I am not a demon. I am Xuan Ji, the leader of the Xuan Nv Tribe. I am from the same generation as your ancestor Chiyou. I will not be wrong to call you little guy."
The woman's calm words made Ding Ning pale with shock. Waves surged in his heart. He looked at her in disbelief and stammered, "You … you are the Xuan Nv of Ninth Heaven who killed Chiyou?"
After calming down, Ding Ning realized that something was wrong. This woman who called herself Xuan Ji did not seem to be a demon. She only looked very similar to her.
There was a red mole between Xuan Ji's eyebrows but the demon did not. Their voices were also different. The demon's voice was more magnetic than Xuan Ji's and was not as ethereal as hers. Their temperaments were also different. Although they were both as pure and holy as fairies, Xuan Ji had an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura.
Previously, because he was too concerned, he had mistaken Xuan Ji for a demon. The main reason was that they looked too similar. Now that he looked again, there seemed to be some differences. At the very least, uh, the demon's chest seemed to be larger than hers.
However, he had no time to care about this right now. He was shocked by Xuan Ji's background. If what she said was true, then she had lived for five thousand years? How was this possible?
"I do not have the ability to kill Chiyou!"
There was a trace of self-mockery and guilt in Xuan Ji's expression. "I should have died a long time ago. I have persevered until now to wait for your arrival."
"Wait for me? Do you recognize me? "Ding Ning looked at her in disbelief.
Light flowed through Xuan Ji's eyes. She sighed sadly. "I don't recognize you but I know you are a descendant of Chiyou. You possess a bloodline that is very close to his."
"You … you must have mistaken me for someone else. I am not a descendant of Chiyou. "
Ding Ning's heart jumped and he grew wary. He unconsciously took two steps back and pulled away from Xuan Ji. This was an old demon who had lived for thousands of years. Who knew what strange tricks she had?
Xuan Ji seemed to see through his thoughts. She stared at the stone man on Ding Ning's chest and said something shocking. "I deliberately released this stone man to wait for it to recognize me as its master. How could I be wrong? If you are not of Chiyou's bloodline, how could you have made the stone man recognize you as its master?"
"You … you deliberately released this stone man?"
Ding Ning suddenly thought of the records in the ancient books. It seemed that the Yan Huang Alliance had asked the Fairy of the Ninth Heaven to act and the reward was the stone man.
