God-level repair system
Chapter 87 Holding the Hand
There's no point in even thinking about finding the place where the Ghost Emperor inherited his legacy.
Since the fall of the previous Ghost Emperor, many members of the Ghost Clan have searched for three thousand years without finding his tomb.
In the ancient times, all races stood side by side, among which the human, demon, and monster races were the major races, with profound foundations and powerful forces.
The race second only to the three major races is the Ghost Race. Besides them, there are many other races, some of which are so obscure that even Meow Meow and the Ever-Changing Old Ghost have never been heard of.
The reason why the human, demon, and monster races are so powerful is because they have the most emperor-level experts who have attained enlightenment.
The appearance of an Emperor-level powerhouse can bring glory to the entire race and prevent it from being invaded by other races.
However, even the strongest emperors are not immortal. Therefore, under normal circumstances, before an emperor falls, he will leave behind his legacy for his descendants to inherit.
Therefore, the more powerful beings who reach the level of an emperor that appear in a race, the more inheritances will naturally be passed down.
The reason why other races are inferior to the three major races is that they do not have an emperor-level expert.
When the Ghost Clan had an Emperor-level expert in charge, they were known as one of the Four Great Clans.
……
"We can forget about inheriting the Ghost Emperor's legacy, but surely we can inherit the Ghost King's legacy? Shall we go and take a look at the Ghost King's house?" Chu Zhen said.
Without hesitation, the ever-changing old ghost immediately gave directions.
In the ancient times, as a ghost general, he naturally knew the dwelling place of the ghost king of the ghost clan.
He even knew some ghost kings very well and had served by their side.
Unlike the three major clans, the Ghost Clan's dwelling place was not built openly and honestly, but was extremely hidden.
From ancient times to the present, countless years have passed, making it quite troublesome to find.
It was deep in the mountains and forests again.
On the mountainside, there was a dilapidated village.
A human and a demon entered one after the other, and then they found two old people sitting outside a mud house, basking in the sun and exchanging a few words.
"Chu Zhen, be careful." This time, Miao Miao was smarter and immediately became alert to such an unusual scene.
This scene was somewhat similar to what I had seen in the ancient town before.
The two seemingly ordinary old people might just be an illusion conjured up by the formation.
Chu Zhen scanned the area with his sharp eyes and was shocked to discover that the two old people not far away were actually real humans.
The two elderly people showed no emotion when they saw someone approaching, their weathered faces remaining completely expressionless.
The world is undergoing a dramatic change, spiritual energy is reviving, and wild beasts are awakening all over the world. For modern people, it feels like the end of the world, and everyone is trying to avoid these beasts.
However, not all humans are capable of traveling to safe cities.
Not everyone who couldn't enter a safe city died at the hands of wild beasts.
The two elderly people in front of me are genuine old people, skin and bones, with almost all their teeth gone.
"Grandpa, are there any other people in this village?" Chu Zhen stepped forward and asked politely.
Half a minute later, the octogenarian woman smacked her lips and replied with three words.
After a long pause, I realized she was saying, "They've all run away."
The old man doesn't speak Mandarin; he speaks a local dialect that is very difficult to understand.
"Then why don't you run away? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by wild beasts?" Meow Meow asked from the side.
Then, the octogenarian woman answered again.
The general meaning is: "They are afraid that their children and grandchildren will be anxious if they come back and find no one at home, so they stay here to wait for their children and grandchildren to return."
Hearing these words brought tears to my eyes.
At this moment, the old man came into the house and took out some fruits and melons that he had stored at home, to give to Chu Zhen and Miao Miao.
In these times of food scarcity, the elderly are still so hospitable, treating them as guests.
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Chu Zhen and Miao Miao symbolically tried a little.
These fruits and vegetables were all homemade by the elderly woman, including sunflower seeds, peanuts, and some fried snacks.
We talked for a long time afterward, but communication was really difficult.
Chu Zhen then learned that the old woman was already 8 years old, while the old man was 90 and had been suffering from dementia for ten years, and had been taken care of by the old woman ever since.
Chu Zhen thought she had seen a lot of the coldness and warmth of human relationships, but seeing this scene still touched her deeply.
Holding your hand, we'll grow old together. No matter how the world changes, home is wherever you are.
After the apocalypse, how many people will be able to do this?
However, perhaps the two elderly people simply do not know what is happening in the world. All they know is that their children and grandchildren are working hard away from home, and what if they come back and can't find them?
They never considered that the appearance of the wild beasts might mean their children and grandchildren were already gone.
But thinking about it carefully, where could the two elderly people go?
At least here, there are still a few acres of land, enough to be self-sufficient.
If they went to a safe city, they would probably starve to death in less than three days.
In his previous life, Chu Zhen had endured two years of hardship in a safe city, and even he almost didn't survive, let alone two old people who knew nothing.
Therefore, staying here might not be a bad thing.
However, the ever-changing old ghost said that the Ghost King's dwelling place is most likely nearby.
"The Ghost King's Palace should be located in these mountains. I remember there was a blood-red tombstone there. We can enter from there. I don't know if the formation still exists. If it's no longer effective, we'll probably have to dig up the mountain," said the Ever-Changing Ghost King.
"A blood-red tombstone? So, the Ghost King's palace was built in the mountains?" Chu Zhen exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, Master. Only by finding that tombstone can I be certain." The Ever-Changing Ghost King nodded.
The octogenarian woman watched Chu Zhen "talking to himself," and it was unclear whether she understood part of what he was saying. Her expression suddenly changed, and she began to babble in local dialect, as if she were talking about something extremely terrifying.
Chu Zhen listened several times before finally understanding.
The octogenarian meant that there was indeed a blood-red tombstone in their mountain, but the place was haunted, and it was said that many people had seen it in the past. Especially at night, it was said that anyone who saw the tombstone either died or went insane.
Therefore, that mountain is a forbidden area for the locals.
Some say a monster lives there, while others say it's the abode of immortals, and mortals cannot approach it.
Of course, these are all just rumors.
Speaking of monsters, there was one standing behind Chu Zhen.
At this moment, Meow Meow has a pair of cat ears showing, and a white tail wagging behind her.
But because she looked so cute, the octogenarian couldn't associate her with a monster at all, and thought she was wearing fashionable clothes that little girls liked.
"Grandma, can you tell me where that tombstone is?" Chu Zhen called out loudly.
Because the octogenarian woman has some hearing problems, you have to get very close to her ear to hear her speak.
Then, the octogenarian pointed to the mountain to the south and said that was it.
Chu Zhen nodded, then smiled and replied with a few words before saying that he had to leave.
As a result, the octogenarian grabbed his wrist, her face contorted in a grimace, and she kept shaking her head and waving her hands.
"You can't go, you can't go, people will die if you go to that place."
She was worried that Chu Zhen and Miao Miao might be in danger, and shook her head anxiously.
Left with no other option, he had to lie to the two elderly people, saying that he wasn't going and was going home immediately, which finally put the octogenarian woman at ease.
Before they left, they were given some fruit to eat on the way, and were reminded not to go to that mountain after they finished signing.
