I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

He once again carefully examined Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "They are still entangled in such a cause and effect..."

After he finished speaking, the sloppy old man lay down again and started snoring.

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan looked at each other, said nothing more, and walked straight into the tribe.

"Huh? Who are you?"

Just as they stepped into the tribe, a soft and crisp voice came from behind them.

Everyone turned around suddenly and saw a little girl wearing a short animal skin skirt, carrying a small bamboo basket on her back, and walking towards them barefoot.

Her skin was the same color as wheat, she had short black hair, and two small fleshy horns were faintly visible on her head. Her big black eyes were staring at Su Yu'er without blinking, and her expression was as pure as the first snow.

Su Yu'er met her gaze, her lips curled up slightly, "We were passing by here and saw the tribal sacrifice. We were curious and wanted to come and observe."

She and Xiao Mohan exchanged glances, and both saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

Chaos energy circulates around this little girl, but she has not condensed her soul, nor does she have a trace of divine power. She only relies on her pure flesh and blood!

"Are you from outside the mountain?"

The little girl asked, tilting her head.

"Outside the mountain?" Su Yuer frowned.

They entered the sacred mountain without being blocked by any formation, so how could there be a distinction between inside and outside the mountain?

"Erya, take them to have a look." The sloppy old man still had his eyes closed, and his voice came slowly.

"Grandpa, do you recognize them?" The little girl called Erya turned her head curiously.

"I don't recognize them, but they are your destined ones." The old man turned over and said lazily.

"The destined one?!"

Erya jumped to the wooden bench in a few steps, grabbed the old man's beard and pulled it down, then ran towards the tribe without looking back, leaving behind only a string of silver bell-like words: "Follow me quickly, the sacrifice has begun!"

“Hiss—it hurts so much!”

The slovenly old man suddenly sat up and cursed, "Jiang Leiya! Don't run away, you crazy girl! I'll beat your ass to pieces!"

Su Yuer, Xiao Mohan and others couldn't help but twitch their lips. These two grandparents and grandchildren were really interesting.

They then followed Erya into the tribe and looked around calmly.

The tribe was not large, and perhaps because of the sacrifice, all the tribesmen were heading towards the middle of the mountain.

They followed Erya into the crowd. Everyone they saw was tall, strong, and had an ancient and unsophisticated air in their manners.

Far from rejecting these outsiders, the tribesmen gave them simple and kind smiles.

Su Yu'er glanced at the crowd and was shocked. These people had the same chaotic physique as her!

She walked to Jiang Leiya's side and asked with a smile: "Erya, where exactly is this place?"

"The ancient tribe."

Jiang Leiya tilted his head and answered.

Su Yu'er nodded slightly: "Just now you said 'from outside the mountain'... Is it difficult for outsiders to find this place?"

"Yes!"

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan looked at each other in surprise. She continued, "Then have you never thought about leaving here?"

Jiang Leiya shook his head. "I haven't thought about it. The clan leader said that the people outside the mountain are cruel, cunning and untrustworthy. It's very dangerous out there."

"Danger?"

Xiao Mohan frowned slightly and repeated in a low voice.

Jiang Leiya leaned close to Su Yuer and whispered, "I haven't even seen the outside world yet... I can't go out anyway. But I'm telling you, that old man at the entrance of the village is very powerful, don't mess with him!"

Su Yuer's eyelids twitched slightly. She wasn't bored, so why would she provoke that mysterious old man for no reason?

At this moment, Jiang Leiya suddenly looked into the distance and said, "Ah, the sacrifice has begun, let's go!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already run forward.

Soon, everyone reached the platform halfway up the mountain, and the scene before them suddenly became clear.

A stone statue several meters high stands in the middle, carved entirely from an unknown dark blue rock. It is an old man with a bull's head and a human face.

He was dressed in linen and animal skins, with a real medicine basket hanging from his waist, from which wisps of medicinal fragrance wafted.

The old man had a kind face, a radiant expression, and plump lips, a smile of compassion for all living things. His eyes, however, were a pair of fiery red, as deep as the chaos of eternity, as if they could see through the universe and see through the rise and fall of things.

A faint chaotic mist lingered around the stone statue, and the sound of ancient sacrifices could be faintly heard flowing through it, like the prayers of the tribesmen, or like the echoes of the avenue.

"The Ancient Human Emperor, Shennong?!"

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan asked in unison, "Could this be the place where the descendants of Shennong have hidden themselves away?"

In front of the stone statue stands a giant bronze tripod about ten feet high, with three legs and two ears. The body of the tripod is engraved with herb patterns and ancient and mysterious talismans.

The crowd stood quietly in front of it. The person leading the group was an old man in linen clothes and white hair. He stood beside the altar and suddenly waved his hand!

boom!

Suddenly, flames shot up from within the bronze tripod, as blazing as the sun.

The tribesmen threw the offerings in their hands into the cauldron one after another.

The white-haired old man held an ancient pottery jar in his hand, with white smoke curling out of the jar, emitting a refreshing fragrance of plants and trees.

He slowly walked to the stone statue and bowed deeply, his voice like an ancient bell: "Ancestors, today our clansmen have gathered to perform a grand sacrificial ceremony. May the Human Emperor protect our clan, and may they enjoy health and prosperity for generations to come..."

Over ten thousand tribesmen knelt in worship, chanting sacrificial rites and praising their ancestors. The roar, like a tsunami, reverberated throughout the fields, yet strangely lacking in its clamor, it instead conveyed a reverence and devotion rooted in their very blood.

Soon, the flames in the giant bronze tripod went out, and mysterious runes suddenly lit up. Brilliant rays of light gushed out from them, and as the auspicious aura rose, billions of divine objects and lights appeared.

No, it was not an illusion. Those ordinary sacrifices turned out to be real divine objects, as holy as the falling starlight.

"Thank you, ancestors, for your gift!"

The tribesmen kowtowed repeatedly before each taking the divine object and swallowing it. Instantly, each person's body glowed, and an even richer chaotic energy surged out.

"Incredible... an ordinary sacrifice placed in the cauldron actually transformed into a divine object!"

Shi Mubai was filled with shock and could not hide his admiration.

"Could it be... the ancestral artifact of the ancient human emperor, the Shennong Ding?!" Su Yu'er's eyes brightened and her heart was shocked.

The little white cat stared at the ancient bronze tripod and nodded, saying, "It is indeed the Shennong Tripod."

"Shennong Ding?!"

Shi Mubai was speechless, "No wonder it's so magical!"

Shennong Ding, also known as Baicao Ding, can refine all things and give them vitality. It is especially good at refining magical medicines containing the essence of life, creating immortal elixirs, and can also purify all poisons.

Su Yuer and others looked at the stone statue with a bull's head and a human face, and felt a vast and majestic aura slowly overflowing from the stone statue, as if it breathed with the heaven and earth, and shone with the sun and the moon - that was the majesty of the ancient human emperor, which still shocked all living beings in the world after thousands of years.

According to legend, in order to relieve the suffering of human diseases, the ancient emperor tasted thousands of herbs and encountered seventy poisons in one day. He finally summarized the medicinal properties of herbs and wrote the "Shennong Bencao Jing".

In the end, he died a martyr because he tasted the strange poison of the ancient times, exhausted his divine power to dissolve the poison, and died. Finally, his body turned into mountains and rivers, and his blood merged into the earth, nourishing the fertile soil for the survival of the human race.

An hour later, the ancestor worship ceremony was completely over and the clan members gradually dispersed.

The white-haired old man walked up to Su Yu'er and the others, his eyes swept across her and the two beasts on her shoulders. In just a few breaths, his heart was shocked.

This man and woman are the incarnations of the Heavenly Dao, accompanied by a Spirit Ancestor and a Sky-Devouring Beast? Who are they?!

Seeing this, Jiang Leiya playfully made a face at the white-haired old man and said, "It was the grandfather at the entrance of the village who asked me to bring them in. It's none of my business~"

The white-haired old man glanced at her unhappily and said, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

Jiang Leiya chuckled again, turned to Su Yuer and said in a baby voice, "Hurry up and follow the clan leader, or he will be angry!" After that, he turned around and ran away.

Su Yu'er, Xiao Mohan and others glanced at the white-haired old man but did not move.

"Come with me."

The white-haired old man led Su Yuer, Xiao Mohan and others to a courtyard and directly into the main house.

Xiao Moxuan and others waited quietly in the yard.

The white-haired old man sat down at the table and raised his hand to invite them: "Please take a seat, both of you."

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan were not polite and sat down calmly opposite the white-haired old man.

"Are you from outside the mountain?"

The white-haired old man looked at the two of them.

"That's right." Xiao Mohan answered frankly.

Although the other party is the head of a clan, he only has the cultivation level of a God Lord and is not something to be feared.

The white-haired old man's eyes were like torches, and he said slowly, "To be honest, I am very curious."

"What are you curious about?" Su Yu'er looked puzzled.

"That old fellow at the village entrance never gets up early unless there's something to gain. If he had no ulterior motive, he would never have let you in."

He said with deep meaning, "Besides, the karma between the two of you is intertwined, which is beyond the ability of ordinary people to bear."

Su Yu'er smiled and shook her head, "Chief, we don't know the reason either."

The old man suddenly changed the subject and said with emotion, "I didn't expect you to possess Chaos Constitutions, and yet your cultivation has already reached the mid-stage of the Divine Emperor... The young are truly formidable!"

"It's just a coincidence."

Xiao Mohan looked sincere and said slowly, "I just didn't expect that we would accidentally enter the secluded place of your descendants of Shennong."

The white-haired old man's eyes suddenly sharpened upon hearing this. If the Shennong clan's identity were to be revealed, it would surely attract the covetousness of the outside world, which would be a catastrophic disaster.

Su Yu'er saw what he was worried about and said gently, "Don't worry, clan leader. We have no ill intentions."

At this moment, two old men with white hair and beards walked in slowly from outside. They were the sloppy old man and the old man in black robe.

The old man in black robe had a slightly aged face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through everything.

The two old men sat down immediately.

The black-robed old man looked at Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan. When his eyes swept over the little white cat and the little black ball, a gentle smile appeared on his old face: "It's unbelievable... The two young friends actually have the Spirit Ancestor and the Sky-Swallowing Beast accompanying them..."

Almost at the same time, the little white cat stretched out its claws to grab the gourd on the sloppy old man's waist!

A meaningful smile flashed across the sloppy old man's lips, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

The little white cat blinked, looking confused.

Even Su Yu'er, Xiao Mohan, and the little black ball were stunned and silent. This slovenly old man's cultivation level must have reached the Divine Venerable Realm, or even higher...

The old man in black robes looked at the two silent people and smiled calmly, "My two young friends, this is the ancestral land of the ancient Shennong clan, and I am a descendant of the ancient Shenwu clan. I am only living here temporarily. I believe you know very little about the Shenwu clan. We make a living by deducing destiny."
