Chen Xiao lay in bed for half a month and was finally allowed to get out of bed and move around.

With the help of Huang Keran, he walked out of the low house and saw the whole picture of the Zhuwu tribe for the first time.

The entire Zhuwu tribe is located in a hilly area, and a large number of buildings have been built according to the undulating terrain. These buildings are similar in appearance and materials to the one he lives in, all of which are made of mud bricks and wood as the main body, and the roof is made of strong and tough thatch.

There were no planned blocks in the tribe, but naturally formed residential areas, with winding roads between houses, like a maze. Fortunately, the people here lived in large spaces, so it didn't seem cramped or crowded.

Chen Xiao took a breath of fresh air, "What a large tribe, it's comparable to a county in a mortal country."

Huang Keran said, "Yes, Master. The Qiluo Pavilion where I used to live, including the towns near the sect, has about the same population."

Chen Xiao asked: "Where does the Great Witch live? Is it far from here?"

Huang Keran said, "Master, do you want to visit the Great Wizard? The Great Wizard lives on the top of the hill, which is called the top of the hill. We live on the bottom, which is called the bottom of the hill. Although it is not far, if Master wants to go, I am afraid it will be too tiring. It is better for me to prepare an ox cart."

Chen Xiao heard this and waved his hand: "It's so troublesome, let's forget it."

Huang Keran said considerately: "Master, if you want to go out for a walk, let's go to the back of the house. There is a stream over there."

Chen Xiao really wanted to get some fresh air, so he said okay.

The two of them walked slowly along the path behind the house. This dirt road was very smooth, probably because they had walked it so many times. Only in the middle of the road, there were occasional ruts left by wheels when it rained and was muddy.

The stream Huang Keran mentioned was not far away. It only took twenty minutes of slow walking to get there.

The stream is quite shallow, the water is clear and transparent, and you can occasionally see a few small fish.

From a distance, you can see women washing clothes downstream. A few dozen meters away from them, there are several large rocks forming a path to cross the stream.

Seeing Chen Xiao staring at the big rocks, Huang Keran said anxiously, "Master's health is not good yet, so why don't you go to the other side?"

Chen Xiao turned his head to look at his worried face, smiled, and said, "I'm not going over there. I looked over there only because I saw Xiao Ba on the other side and wondered how he got over there."

"Oh." Huang Keran felt relieved and looked carefully at the other side. Sure enough, he could see a small white figure on the opposite slope.

The wind was blowing very comfortably at the moment, so Chen Xiao found a big rock by the roadside and sat down.

Huang Keran recalled something and said, "I remember when I first landed and saw Xiao Ba, the Great Wizard was very wary and defensive when pointing at it. If Xiao Ba hadn't quickly shrunk and eased the situation, there might have been a conflict."

Thinking about the situation at that time, Huang Keran felt that it was quite dangerous. Xiao Ba had lost his ferocious and frightening form, Chen Xiao was seriously injured and unconscious, and he himself had no cultivation. If the Great Witch and his men were hostile, they would only be captured.

Chen Xiao didn't expect that there would be such an episode, and couldn't help but feel lucky.

Huang Keran recalled: "The Great Wizard seemed to have mentioned what kind of beast Xiao Ba was, but at that time I was so focused on Master's injuries that I didn't remember it."

"Hmm?" Chen Xiao said in surprise, "Are you sure the Great Witch knows what kind of beast Xiao Ba is?"

Huang Keran nodded affirmatively, and Chen Xiao could no longer sit still, so he stood up and wanted to walk back. Huang Keran saw that he was walking in a hurry, and was afraid that Chen Xiao was still weak and would fall down, so he hurried over to support him.

"Master, where are you going?"

"Go visit the Great Witch!"

Huang Keran asked someone to harness the oxen and drive over an ox cart. He helped Chen Xiao sit firmly on the cart and then walked towards the hill.

After leaving the complicated road area and getting on the main road, he met more people. Chen Xiao listened to people talking, and it was indeed a language he couldn't understand.

Seeing the ox cart passing by, the people in the middle of the road hurriedly made way. When they saw that the person on the cart was Chen Xiao, they lowered their heads in fear and respect.

Chen Xiao looked all the way and finally understood why they didn't live near the Great Witch.

Although the houses they saw along the way were also built of mud bricks, wood and thatch, most of them were older and more simple than the one they lived in. It was rare to find a few houses that were better than the one they lived in. It seemed that the low house they lived in was already a rare mansion.

The ox cart clattered along for a while before they finally reached the top of the hill.

The car stopped in front of a large courtyard. Zhu Bai was exercising in the open space in the courtyard. When he saw Chen Xiao coming, he hurried to report to the witch.

The house where the Great Witch lived was not very tall. The general architectural style here was low roofs, and high beams were not popular. It seemed that the low, narrow space, like a nest, made them feel more secure.

The Great Witch was very surprised at Chen Xiao's visit.

After understanding Chen Xiao's intention, the Great Wizard said, "When I first saw your strange beast, I thought it was a ferocious beast in the legend. It is a powerful beast that can eat everything in the world. Its name is Taotie."

The two words "Taotie" were not spoken in the language of the cultivators, but in the language of the Great Witches, and then written out for Chen Xiao to see. Chen Xiao initially thought that he would not understand, but he found that the words here were very close to the large seal script, although there were some differences, he recognized it and actually understood it!

It was normal not to understand it, but now that he could understand it, Chen Xiao was so shocked that he got goosebumps all over his body.

Chen Xiao's head couldn't help but feel dizzy, and his face turned pale because of this discovery.

This scared the three of them, and they thought that Chen Xiao's injury had recurred.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Huang Keran asked nervously, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

The Great Wizard walked directly to his side and placed his hand on his back. A warm current flowed into his body, and soon his face was no longer pale, but slightly flushed.

Chen Xiao recovered and waved his hand, "I'm fine."

"You don't look like you're okay. Your face is frighteningly pale." The Great Witch said bluntly.

Chen Xiao said: "I was just too surprised. I didn't realize before that the characters you used were very similar to the font I know."

The Great Wizard looked at him in surprise and said, "Can you let me see it?"

Before, the great wizard used his fingers to dip in water and write on the table, so Chen Xiao also dipped his fingers in some water in the bowl and started writing on the table.

Chen Xiao wrote a dozen words. The Great Wizard took a look and found that they were indeed very similar, some were even exactly the same.

This made the Great Witch a little excited. She asked, "How did Master Chen learn this kind of writing?"

When Chen Xiao was about to write, he had expected the Great Witch to ask, and he had also prepared an answer, "I once had an adventure and obtained a unique skill, and that unique skill included this writing inheritance."

The Great Wizard asked Chen Xiao what his unique skill was, and Chen Xiao told him, "It's Feng Shui, a discipline that uses the energy of the earth's veins to influence the aura and fortune."

"Feng Shui?" The Great Wizard thought hard, and after a while gave up and shook his head, "I've never heard of it before. Can you tell me more about it?"

"Of course." Chen Xiao generously explained to the witch the principles and various applications of Feng Shui as well as a few simple cases.

The Great Wizard sighed and said, "It seems that this knowledge did not spread from our Zigui. I thought it was the knowledge brought out from our heavenly realm by a great man who happened to come here a long time ago."

The Great Witch was disappointed.

But Chen Xiao can be sure that with the legend of Taotie and similar large seal characters, the heavenly world is indeed related to the world of his previous life.

He was eager to know more clues, so he asked, "Great Witch, can you tell me more about the legend of Taotie?"

The Great Witch said, "It is said that this ancient beast is the first powerful being in the Heaven Realm. It has bloody hair, thick and curved horns, a head like a sheep, a human upper body and a sheep lower body. Taotie is very powerful and eats everything in the world, whether it is grass, wood or stone."

Chen Xiao felt that the legends passed down by the Zhuwu tribe were very similar to the legends of Taotie in his previous life, but there were also some differences.

"Xiao Ba is most likely the descendant of Taotie." Chen Xiao made a judgment. "It is extremely rare that it has experienced a reversion to its ancestral form. It is very likely that this reversion is not complete, which has led to the image of Xiao Ba that has changed before."

It was the first time that Huang Keran heard of such a thing. He asked curiously, "Master, why is Xiao Ba's atavism not complete?"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "It may be that the energy that stimulates its atavism is not enough."

Last time, Chen Xiao didn't feel much about it and just ignored it. This time, all his vitality was completely emptied, and Chen Xiao finally realized that Xiao Ba was able to return to his ancestral home by absorbing the vitality in his compass.

Chen Xiao had just been able to get out of bed, and the amount of activity today had already exceeded the limit he could bear.

Although he still had many questions to ask, the fatigue in his body did not allow him to do so.

Chen Xiao had no choice but to say goodbye and go back, and invited Da Wu to visit him the next day. Da Wu was also very interested in the reason and readily agreed.

Chen Xiao went back and thought about it for a night, and decided to look for clues from the historical origins of Zigui Tianjing.

In the next few days, after the Great Witch arrived, Chen Xiao asked her about the history and various legends of the Zhuwu clan.

If it were someone else, the Great Wizard wouldn't have the leisure to give a detailed explanation, let alone easily tell him these things that only a wizard can pass on.

Chen Xiao slowly summarized the facts, eliminated the specious ones, and obtained a result that surprised him: Zigui Heaven Realm was actually the ancient Nine Provinces that split and merged into the world of all heavens after the heaven and earth changes. At that time, the ancient Nine Provinces had a well-known name, called the Land of Shenzhou!
