Perfect World: Starting from Becoming Sister Huang

Chapter 18 Does Not Belong to This Ancient History

"What? You want to stay? I disagree!!"

The next morning, the sky was bright and the people of Shicun were very happy, having gained three future guardian birds of the village for free. Only Fourth Grandfather was in a bad mood.

He stood at the village entrance, looked up at the sky and roared, filled with heroic spirit.

"What will happen to my younger brother if I leave?"

"He's still so young, I can't rest easy about him!"

Shi Zhao stood unmoved beside the charred willow tree, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Having finally ventured deep into the wilderness and found Stone Village, how could we possibly turn around and leave?

After all, we're already here...

"Eeya?" The little one tilted its head, blinked its big eyes, and peeked out from the clan chief's courtyard, then shrank back in.

"What if you stay here and it interferes with your cultivation?" Fourth Master asked again.

"I have reasons to stay. True strongmen are all forged in the Great Wilderness. I can take whatever I want myself. Besides, it's not like I'm not leaving. I'll leave when the time comes," Shi Zhao explained, his eyes still firm.

Besides taking care of Xiao Shi, she was also planning something extremely important. If she also included the great deity Liu Shen, then there was even less reason for her to leave.

She knew very well that if she chose to leave, she would probably soon be sent to some ancient sacred mountain or the royal family of the Stone Kingdom for "further studies".

But no matter where you go, you will never feel as free as in Shicun, where you can be unrestrained and gain more!

Seeing her resolute attitude, Fourth Master sighed deeply.

"When you get back, if anyone asks, just say that I was picked up by someone sent by my aunt and went to the Xuan Domain to cultivate in the Immortal Mountain. That should shut some people up."

Shi Zhao was also using the empty flag to cover himself up, while also preventing Fourth Master from being too embarrassed when he returned. After all, losing a genius of the clan would inevitably lead to criticism and punishment.

Fourth Grandfather was shocked. He knew that Shi Ziling's wife had an unusual background and was likely from another major region. He never expected her to be from the Xuan Region and to be connected with the Immortal Mountain.

As an elder of the royal family of the Stone Kingdom, he was not entirely ignorant of the outside world.

Xuanyu is a vast region with outstanding people and abundant resources.

It is said that the mountains and rivers there are far more magnificent than those in the desolate region, without any wildness, and the cultivation level there is extremely high, with many powerful figures emerging. It can even look down on the desolate region.

Furthermore, Mount Bulao is a mysterious ancient land in the Xuan Domain. It is said that although its population is small, it is able to contend with ancient sects that span multiple domains, such as the Patching Heaven Sect and the Western Sect. Its status is extraordinary, and it is an extremely terrifying lineage of Dao.

Is it really related to Mount Immortal?

"It is indeed related, but the relationship is complicated, so please don't say too much. If anyone wants to verify it, go find the Thunder Clan's matriarch. She was saved by her aunt and once followed her."

Shi Zhao's words were so convincing that Fourth Master had no choice but to believe them.

"Are you two coming with me or staying?" he asked Ah Man and Qing Feng.

As a result, Aman was holding Shi Zhao's arm, and Qingfeng was also holding her other arm tightly. The three of them were almost squeezed together, which made Fourth Master shake his head and sigh again.

A few days later, he left behind almost everything he could carry, and also went deep into the mountains and marshes to hunt down many powerful and ferocious beasts.

After saying goodbye to the three of them and Xiao Shihao, he returned to the Stone Kingdom alone, traveling light, and even took the initiative to erase his memories of the road to Stone Village.

They both knew very well that this parting would last for many years, and they might never see each other again...

"You two little fools, staying with me in the Great Wilderness will bring you a lot of hardship." Shi Zhao chuckled and scolded Aman and Qingfeng, but his heart was warm.

As for cultivation... to be honest, there are too many calamities and disasters in the future, and no matter how much ordinary people cultivate, it will be difficult to change anything. There is really not much difference between being stronger or weaker.

Of course, she definitely wants to change some things!

They come, the security.

Shi Zhao changed into coarse linen clothes that suited the atmosphere of the Great Wilderness, and personally used his magic weapon to flatten the boulder, building himself a stone house at the end of the village, complete with a large courtyard.

The villagers were very kind and generous, and they all donated various household items they had made themselves, including tables, chairs, benches, beds, and bedding.

Xiao Shihao would come every day, following her around like a little shadow.

As time went by, Xiao Shi recalled more of his childhood memories, and he also discovered that he felt very relaxed and comfortable whenever he was with the older girl.

Thanks to the gifts from the fourth great-grandfather before his departure, Shi Village received a lot of prey for free, all of which were ferocious beasts that were usually difficult to deal with, such as Kui beasts, flying pythons, dragon-horned elephants, two-headed fire rhinoceroses, and even mixed-blood Pixiu.

These prey were first offered to the sacrificial spirits. Although the Willow God did not take them, the ritual was still necessary, and the key was sincerity.

Shi Zhao also followed local customs and participated in the sacrificial ceremony.

She knew that Willow God knew everything in the village, and her arrival was bound to attract His attention. She didn't expect that the tattered cloth deep in her sea of ​​consciousness would also make a move.

Suddenly, a divine thought resounded in her mind.

"You are special. If you weren't standing right in front of me, I would have thought you didn't exist at all, that you didn't belong to this ancient history? No, it's like that, yet not quite..."

Shi Zhao opened his eyes wide, flashing with bright light, staring in astonishment at the charred willow tree in front of him. His almost solidified primordial spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness trembled violently.

What does this mean?

She could barely understand if it didn't belong to this ancient history, but why did it end with such a vague and ambiguous statement? And the preceding words also seemed a bit chilling upon closer inspection.

She really wanted to shout: "Sister, don't scare people!"

The willow tree at the village entrance had been broken off many years ago, with only a section of its charred trunk remaining, which was more than ten meters in diameter. There was only one willow branch, which was lush and green, swaying in the wind.

Just now, a mysterious power appeared, very strange, similar to the sacrificial power generated by the ancient people when they worshipped the heavens, as recorded in the bone book, spreading outward like ripples.

The ancient cauldrons passed down through generations in the village resonated, and the insects, fish, birds, beasts, mountains, rivers, sun, and moon depicted on their walls became clearer, flowing with a mysterious luster, exuding a sense of vicissitude and antiquity.

"Greetings, Goddess Willow!"

The villagers were terrified and filled with awe. They never expected that the spirit that had not responded for decades would suddenly appear. Many people knelt down and prayed for it to protect the peace of Stone Village.

Some elderly people, trembling, led the prayer, expressing their respect for the spirits with devout hearts and sincere words.

Even Aman and Qingfeng followed suit and bowed, since they were living in Stone Village, they would be protected by it.

The only person still standing upright was Shi Zhao, because he hadn't recovered from the shock yet.

"Sister, is the Willow Goddess talking to you?" Little Shi Hao asked, blinking his big eyes.

"Hmm..." Shi Zhao nodded subconsciously, then realized that a large group of people were staring at him, which startled him.

Clan Chief Shi Yunfeng's eyes shone with an alarming light. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Xiao Zhao, the village has decided that you will serve the Willow God from now on!"

"..."
