Sword of the Nine Heavens, the Fall of the Gods

Chengfeng was startled and looked up, and saw a bearded man, eight feet tall, in tattered clothes and covered in blood, running towards him not far behind him.

Behind the big man, there was a monster with bared fangs and claws.

The monster was as big as two cows, shaped like a lion, with eyes like lanterns and a mouth like a basin. It was chasing him closely.

The bearded man rushed into the forest and shouted to the two people who were talking in the forest: "Come and save me!"

As he said this, he quickly hid opposite the stone table, and the monster followed him in.

The middle-aged man and the old man had never seen such a scene before. They were so frightened that they stood there in shock, not daring to move.

The monster roared, opened its huge mouth and pounced towards the big man. It seemed that the big man was about to die in the monster's mouth.

Chengfeng couldn't bear it, so he quickly broke a bamboo beside him and rushed in, swinging the bamboo pole at the monster.

The bamboo pole hit the monster with a "snap" sound and broke into two pieces.

The monster stopped, sniffed a few times with its nose, and stared at Chengfeng with its eyes as big as lanterns.

With a "plop", it had already crawled at Chengfeng's feet, and gently touched Chengfeng's trouser legs with its forehead, just like a well-behaved cat.

Everyone was stunned.

Such a ferocious giant beast was so well-behaved in front of this young man who suddenly appeared.

The giant beast was called Suanni, and was once a member of the Sanshan Island beast family, led by Hou. I don't know why I ended up here.

Although the spirit of the monster had been extracted, its scent still remained in Chengfeng's body.

Suanni smelled the scent, so he prostrated himself with his head lowered and listened respectfully.

Although he had heard Du Xiuniang say that there was a strange beast sealed in her body, Chengfeng was not aware that the beast had such ability.

He never thought that it was because of the strange beasts that caused the wild beasts to be afraid of him.

Of course, the ferocious beasts mentioned here are only relative to the beasts in the mountains and forests.

The monsters in the wild animals in the mountains and forests are another matter.

The monster's behavior left Chengfeng a little confused.

However, seeing that it had no intention of hurting anyone, he shouted at Suanni in a deep voice:

"You beast, stop hurting people and leave immediately!"

The Suanni seemed to understand human language. It rolled on the ground, crawled on the ground, and turned away.

After the monster left, the bearded man walked up to Chengfeng, knelt down and thanked him:

"Thank you for your timely rescue, otherwise I, Dian Wei, would have become food for this beast!"

"It's just a small favor. You're welcome!" Chengfeng reached out and helped Dian Wei up.

Dian Wei looked Chengfeng up and down, secretly amazed.

Although he was brave, he also risked his life to escape from the claws of the monster.

He was surprised that the young man could subdue it without any effort.

Dian Wei bowed and said, "I have not asked for your name yet. I will definitely repay you for saving my life in the future!"

"No need to do that. My name is Song Wei, and my courtesy name is Chengfeng."

Chengfeng threw the half bamboo pole in his hand aside, clapped his hands and said.

The two people who were drinking tea nearby also came over. The old man bowed to Cheng Feng and said, "Yang Di Sima Hui is polite!"

The middle-aged man also clasped his fists and said, "Langya Zhuge Liang, I am honored to meet you two warriors!"

Chengfeng and Dian Wei also clasped their fists in return. After the four of them exchanged greetings, they sat down around the stone table.

Zhuge Liang stroked the three long strands of beard under his chin and looked at Chengfeng.

"Song Zhuangshi is so powerful that even these monsters bow down to him. I wonder where he got his fame from?"

"I am a guard soldier under the command of Marquis Lu Bu Lu Wen." Chengfeng responded truthfully.

"Guards?"

Mr. Shuijing was a little surprised and stroked his beard. "Song warriors are so brave, why can they only be small soldiers? Lu Bu is really a bastard."

Zhuge Liang waved the feather fan in his hand and smiled slightly.

"Although Lu Bu is brave, he is inconsistent and doesn't know how to use people. At best, he can only be a hero, but he can't accomplish anything great."

Dian Wei couldn't help but speak up: "I, Dian Wei, have also heard of Mr. Wolong's name. To be honest, sir, I came out this time because I have a murder case, and I am planning to find a wise leader to join. I wonder if you have any recommendations?"

"Is this..."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Dian Wei and thought for a moment. "Looking at the world, the most powerful person in the world is none other than Cao Cao. He knows how to use people and is prudent and adaptable. You can follow him."

Mr. Shuijing laughed and said, "Since Mr. Wolong said so, why don't you follow Cao Mengde? Instead, you can hide in Nanyang and farm in the mountains and forests?"

"Sir, you only know one side of the story, not the other."

Zhuge Liang shook his head. "Sir, we are both famous scholars, so we should cherish our scales and feathers. I will never forget the teachings you gave me about Xu You and Chao Fu."

Mr. Shui Jing looked a little embarrassed and picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.

"In the past, Mr. Fengchu asked me this question. I tried to answer him by saying Xu You washed his ears and Chao Fu gave water to his cow. But today, Mr. Wulong made fun of me."

After a pause, Shui Jing continued, "You three are different from me. I am old and will soon die. But you three are young and have a long way to go. You still have a bright future!"

Although Chengfeng didn't know these two great scholars, he admired them for their extraordinary conversation and many allusions.

"Just now I was outside the forest and listened to the conversation between the two gentlemen. It is true that you are very knowledgeable and worthy of being great scholars of the time. It is a great honor to meet you two gentlemen today."

Mr. Shuijing smiled and said, "Mr. Song is too polite. It is my honor to have Mr. Wolong visit me today and to have met two extraordinary warriors. If you don't mind, how about going home with me and having a few drinks?"

The four of them applauded.

The four of them talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at Sima Hui's residence.

Sima Hui summoned his wife to the yard and prepared wine and food. Everyone toasted each other and chatted happily.

Just when they were drinking happily, suddenly a loud crane cry was heard from the sky, and a white-haired old man riding a crane fell into the yard from the sky.
