"That's right, that's right …" The ant-human elder hurriedly nodded. "Let's not talk about the fact that you live in the ocean. Even we, who hunt and search for food, don't know the specific situation described by Jingzhe. After all, we humans have long stopped serving mulberry crops."
"That's right!" The elder birdman spread his wings and looked at the vast sea. He echoed, "Not to mention that the thirty-six marquises of spring and summer have been lost, the three marquises of autumn and autumn have been called Cold Cicadas Cry, and the three marquises of summer have been called He Naideng. We don't know what they mean anymore …"
"Haha, that's nothing!" The ant-human elder also flapped his wings and laughed. "After all, you still have the four solar terms and twelve marquises of winter. We haven't even seen winter …"
"No …" The birdman elder turned to look at the ant-human elder and the ant-human elder. "It's because we still have you! Maybe we've forgotten, maybe we've lost, maybe we'll even be annihilated. But we still have you. Now that you're here, we'll remember the twelve solar terms and thirty-six marquises of spring and summer! "
"That's right, that's right!" The ant-human elder was overjoyed. He waved the tentacles on his head and shouted, "Even if it's not us, there's still them and other humans. They'll come to your place and they'll go to our place. The four seasons, twenty-four solar terms and seventy-two marquises of the 72 marquises that the Sage passed down … will also be complete."
Then, the birdman elder explained the six solar terms and eighteen marquises of winter. The ant-human elder explained the twelve solar terms of spring and summer. The ant-human elder explained the thirty-six solar terms of spring and summer. The twenty-four solar terms and seventy-two marquises of the 72 marquises of spring and summer were finally complete.
Xiao Hua was excited as he listened. His celestial body couldn't help but tremble. No matter if it was the birdman, the beeman, or the antman, they were all ants in his eyes. However, their inheritances and experiences made him feel something.
However, Xiao Hua wasn't sure what it was.
After the three elders finished, the ant-human elder and the ant-human elder couldn't stay calm anymore. They said to Xiao Hua in unison, "Sir, we want to return to our tribe immediately and pass down the Sage's inheritance to our people."
"Why?" Xiao Hua asked leisurely. "You only have a dozen years left to live. It's okay if you lose the inheritance, right?"
"No!" The Beeman Elder shook his head and looked behind Xiao Hua as he said, "I have to go back! My Lord, you may not know this, but the reason why we are different from the beasts and become humans is because we have inheritances, we have knowledge, we understand the seasons, and we are different from the ignorant beasts. We will definitely bring back such a precious inheritance and complete it! If my lord doesn't wish to return, I … will return with him … "
"Yes!" The Antman Elder added, "When our heritage is lost, when we don't understand the solar terms, then we are no different from beasts. We don't deserve to look like saints. Perhaps we won't be able to return as easily as you, Sir, but we will turn into eggs and survive the winter. After winter, we will continue. I believe … as long as we are willing, we will think of a way to bring this precious inheritance back to the clan! "
"I'll send you off!" The Birdman Elder also called out, "If it wasn't for your arrival, our inheritance would have been lost very quickly!"
"No need!" Xiao Hua smiled and waved his hand. "I'll send them off. You still have to lead your people to migrate! By the way, if you have the heart, you can appoint an Elder and follow us to look at the mulberry crops and fruit trees … "
The birdman elder was first moved, but soon after, he shook his head and replied, "Whether it is mulberry crops or fruit trees, they are all the lives of other people. My life is catching fish and migrating. Even if I followed great one and recorded everything, these are still other people's lives, the clansmen will forget it sooner or later. It's better for me to remember the 24 solar terms and 72 seasons clearly. It's better for me to lead my people to migrate earlier to save their lives. I believe that in the next hundred years, there will be other humans like them coming. At that time, we can complement each other and inherit the path of saints! "
The path of saints?
The Birdman Elder's words moved Xiao Hua again.
"The path of saints!" Xiao Hua thought, "In the Enlightened Continent of the Immortal World, the path of saints could be the inheritance of the Immortal Dao. In the Hidden Immortal Continent of the Immortal World, the path of saints could be the four arts. In the Dawn Rain Continent of the Mortal World, the path of saints could be the fisherman, the woodcutter, the farmer, and the scholar. But in the Four Seasons Sky, the path of saints could be to preserve one's life and preserve one's wisdom!"
For a moment, Xiao Hua had the idea of putting these so-called humans into the space.
However, it was only for a short moment before Xiao Hua dispelled this idea. This was the only way for the Human Race to survive. If it could be taken away, the Saints from before would have done so long ago. If he were to take it away now, he would be ruining this unique way for the Human Race to survive!
Then Xiao Hua and the others bid farewell to the Birdman Elder and turned around to leave. However, the frost had already fallen and the insects had already retreated. Behind Xiao Hua, the sky was already pitch black.
Whether it was the Birdman Elder or the Ant-Man Elder, they no longer spoke. They each took out thin threads from their bodies and began to wrap themselves up. However, one was golden while the other was yellow.
Xiao Hua knew that the two of them did not have much time left, so he began to run!
Xiao Hua had never been so anxious before. He turned to look at the pitch-black sky from time to time. He felt like he was in a race against time.
"If only the Pegasus was here!"
Unfortunately, the Pegasus was in the Shenhua Continent. Xiao Hua did not know whether it was dead or alive. Now that space and time had stopped, Xiao Hua did not even have the chance to ask the Black Bear Spirit.
However, even if he sent the Pegasus out now, given Xiao Hua's ten-thousand-feet-tall human form, the Pegasus would not be able to carry him.
Looking at the Ant-Man eggs, the golden color of their bodies beginning to turn transparent, and the Bee-Man cocoons, the yellow color of their bodies beginning to form fine lines, Xiao Hua smiled and said, "You all go to sleep first. When we reach your encampment, I will wake you up …"
"No, no …" The Ant-Man Elder and the Bee-Man Elder said in unison, "We cannot sleep. Once we sleep, we do not know if we will be able to wake up. If we are not able to wake up by the time we reach the ancestral ground, wouldn't we be ruining the inheritance?"
"Keke, don't you still have me?" Xiao Hua said with a smile. "I promise to tell your elders everything that I hear."
The Ant-Man Elder and the Bee-Man Elder could not hold on any longer. They looked at each other and did not say anything. It was a silent agreement.
Xiao Hua then kept the two of them in his space and continued on his way.
The sky was dark, and snow was falling gently. The ground was mottled white, and the withered trees were trembling in the cold wind.
Xiao Hua arrived at the Bee-Man encampment and did a little scouting. He could not find the Bee-Man Elder, so he could only send the Bee-Man Elder out.
"Is … is this winter?" Once the Bee-Man Elder came out of the space, his body trembled violently. Wisps of yellow air surged out of his body. He did not care about the changes in his body. Instead, he greedily looked around at the snowy whiteness that he had never seen in his life.
