Sword of the Nine Heavens, the Fall of the Gods

"What do you mean by being estranged from me?" Jia Bing was about to retort.

"Alright! Stop arguing, both of you."

Gongsun Zan waved his hand, signaling them to stay calm.

Then he turned to Jia Bing and said, "Sir, your words are indeed reasonable. But everything in the world has spirituality."

"Since this monkey is so valued by the Wusun King, it must have some extraordinary qualities. Why don't we give it a try to see if it can really speak?"

After saying this, Gongsun Zan waved to a servant beside him.

"Who? Go find some fruits and play with it to see if it can talk."

The attendant took the order and left. After a while, he brought a plate of fruits and placed it in front of the monkey.

When the monkey saw the fruits, his eyes lit up immediately. He quickly stretched out his arm, nimbly picked up a fruit, put it to his mouth and started to bite it.

The movements of monkeys eating are no different from those of humans, but it is still hard for people to believe that they can talk.

However, at this moment, the monkey suddenly stopped biting, raised its head, looked at Gongsun Zan, and uttered a clear "thank you" from its mouth.

This "thank you" stunned everyone present.

Unexpectedly, this monkey can actually speak!

Gongsun Zan picked up a banana in surprise and put it into the monkey's hand.

"Monkey, where are you from? Why can you speak human language? Did someone teach you? Or is it a natural gift?"

The monkey took the banana and ate it without saying another word.

No matter how people teased and tempted it, the monkey never spoke human language again.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Gongsun Zan pondered for a moment and said to his men, "There must be something fishy going on here. Even if this monkey can speak human language, it is definitely not worth a hundred thousand taels of gold. It is certainly not more important than the queen of Wusun."

"Wait! Queen of Wusun?"

At this point, Gongsun Zan's eyes suddenly lit up and he clapped his hands fiercely: "General, how could I have forgotten about her?"

Gongsun Zan's flash of inspiration lit a bright light on the road ahead and was about to reveal an earth-shattering secret.

……

Chengfeng left New York Town and walked on the overgrown road.

He had inquired and found out that this road was a shortcut to Xia Pi City, which could save a lot of travel time.

More than ten days passed, and the surrounding area was still a wilderness of mountains, with no towns or houses to be seen.

The weather was a bit hot, and the air was filled with dryness and heat waves.

The clothes on his body were soaked with sweat and stuck to his body. The sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the dry land, evaporating instantly, leaving only tiny circles of traces.

"This damn weather is really life-threatening!"

Chengfeng wiped the sweat from his face with his hand, his voice a little hoarse and tired.

The weather is too hot, so we should find a cool place to escape the heat.

There was a big tree in front of me. I rode the wind to its shade, slowly sat down with my back against the trunk, and let out a long sigh.

He reached out and unfastened the kettle from his waist, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip impatiently. The cool water slid down his throat, and his body finally cooled down a little.

After drinking the water, Chengfeng hung the kettle on a branch nearby and closed his eyes to rest.

After more than ten days of walking, I felt a little tired. After sitting down for a while, my double eyelids started to twitch involuntarily.

Just as I was falling asleep, a crisp "crash" sound suddenly came from my ears, breaking the silence.

Chengfeng opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

The kettle that was originally hanging on the branch has disappeared.

Instead, on a protruding rock not far away, a naughty little monkey was shaking the kettle proudly.

There was a mischievous gleam in the little monkey's eyes, and his tail was raised high, wagging constantly, as if showing off the trophy in his hand.

Seeing this scene, Chengfeng felt angry and amused.

This kettle means a lot to me. It was given to me by Boss Zhang for me to use on the road.

Along the way, it is the lifeline of the journey and cannot be lost.

"Give it back to me!" Chengfeng quickly stood up and chased after the little monkey.

Seeing this, the little monkey immediately turned around and ran away with the kettle.

It is agile and nimble, sometimes climbing trees and sometimes jumping over rocks.

Chengfeng followed closely behind, his figure moving through the woods, closely following every leap.

After a chase, they finally stopped the little monkey under a lonely tree in the canyon.

Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, the little monkey showed a look of panic, and the kettle in his hand unconsciously relaxed a little.

Chengfeng rushed forward and snatched back the kettle.

The little monkey immediately turned around and ran away. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

"This monkey!"

Chengfeng smiled bitterly and did not chase after him. He lowered his head to check the kettle, and after confirming that it was not damaged, he prepared to continue on his way.

However, when I looked around, I found that I had lost my way.

The road under my feet is no longer the same one as before. The scenery around me seems to have changed. Those familiar signs and paths no longer exist.

"What is this place?"

Chengfeng frowned, looked around, and seemed a little confused.

After some thought, I decided to follow a path under my feet, hoping to find clues to my destination.

While walking in the wind, he kept an eye on his surroundings.

The path gradually widened, and the front was shrouded in clouds and mist. A desolate and mysterious atmosphere filled the air.

Looking up, there seemed to be a hazy mountain standing in front of me.

The mountain was looming in the clouds and its outline was blurred, as if it was an ancient guardian standing there quietly.

Gazing at the scene before him, Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable awe in his heart, and his steps involuntarily moved towards the mountains.

The road under our feet is even more rugged, and we must be careful with every step to prevent accidents.

The air in the mountains is originally fresh and pleasant, but as you go deeper, a strong smell of blood suddenly hits your nose, like the breath of death, suffocating.

This smell, mixed with the smell of decay and rust, makes people feel nauseous and uncomfortable.

My intuition told me that there must be something unusual ahead.

Chengfeng slowed down his pace and walked forward cautiously.

Soon, a horrific scene came into view. The path was littered with corpses.

Those corpses were all dressed in military uniforms, and were obviously soldiers who died on the battlefield.

These bodies were all killed in extremely cruel ways.

All of them were cut in half with one sword, with their heads and bodies separated.

The internal organs and intestines were scattered all over the floor. The scene was so horrific that it was unbearable to watch.
