Chapter 77 Strange Sculptures
The supporting facilities of this Xingyun Temple are exactly the same as the real one, but it is much smaller in scale.
The location of the room was the same as the other one. Yang Zengyue had never rested here before, so they did not plan to go down the mountain tonight.
Staying here for a night will make the traces here more obvious.
After a busy day, in the evening, the three of them sat on the eaves in front of the main hall, put a small wooden table, put some melon seeds and pastries on it, and brewed a pot of tea. They enjoyed it comfortably and planned to cook dinner later.
Jiuxiao was holding an object that looked like a wooden sculpture in his hand and was stroking it.
Yang Zengyue glanced at it, a little curious, "Master, what is this you are holding?"
She had long been familiar with the black ring on Jiuxiao's left thumb. That ring had been on his hand since she came to Jiuxiao's side.
She guessed that the ring was the symbol of the master of Xingyun Temple, and she was sure that the thing he was playing with in his hand was something she had never seen before.
Jiuxiao opened his palm and placed the wooden sculpture on the table.
The wood carving is not big.
It is only three centimeters high and estimated to be only five centimeters wide.
There are several things carved on it.
A beast I had never seen before, with a plant entangled around its limbs. Strangely, there was a flying bird standing on the animal's back.
The appearance of the birds is the crane they are familiar with, the red crane.
"Master, where did you find it?" Yang Zengyue looked at the wood carving. Judging from the carving, it didn't look like it was polished by a machine.
Moreover, she had never seen that beast in her past life or this life, and it did not look like the auspicious beast seen in the underground palace or in Xingyun Temple over there.
The plants also looked strange, with no leaves, no flowers, only vines.
Never seen it.
As for the crane, it is very similar to those seen on TV, except that this carved crane does not have a red crown on its head.
Chen Jiaer didn't know what this strange combination was. "I'm afraid this kind of carving craftsmanship is hard to find in today's society."
Jiuxiao nodded: "I found this from Master Qianyuan's belongings."
The master didn't leave him much at the beginning. Apart from the key to the underground palace, the ring, and the key to open the reincarnation lotus box, everything else was passed down orally.
This wood carving is an exception.
Ever since Zengyue came back, he has been carrying everything he can with him.
I was worried that someone would find out and take it away.
This carving feels as warm as jade. He had previously thought it was a wood carving, but the feel doesn't quite resemble it.
Yang Zengyue took it in his hand and looked at it. He found that although the material looked like wood, when he touched it, he could feel that it was different from wood.
It's very strange. "This doesn't look like it's carved from wood. Jia'er, take a look."
When holding it in his hand, Yang Zengyue vaguely felt a surge of energy.
But not evil, that was all she could tell.
After Chen Jiaer took it, her expression was obviously surprised: "Sister Zengyue, why do I feel like this thing is alive?"
Yang Zengyue nodded and said, "Master, remember to always carry this item with you. When we get down the mountain, I'll tie a rope around it for you and hang it around your neck."
Yang Zengyue could sense that the energy of this object was peaceful, completely different from the ferocious beasts encountered in the end times.
Furthermore, although the combination of these three looks strange, the crane appears here in a very harmonious way.
Yang Zengyue had a feeling that this object would be helpful to his master in the future, and might even save his master's life at a critical moment.
That's why I told him to remember to bring it with him.
The three of them looked at the sculpture and couldn't figure out what it was. Jiuxiao put the sculpture away. Yang Zengyue and Chen Jiaer prepared a simple meal, and after eating, they had nothing to do.
The night in the mountains is very quiet.
After having a good meal and resting for a while, Yang Zengyue had a battle with Chen Jiaer in the yard in front of the main hall, which made Jiuxiao dizzy.
The speed is too fast.
His eyesight simply couldn't keep up.
He could only roughly judge when Yang Zengyue attacked and where he attacked Chen Jiaer by the difference in the sounds.
Chen Jiaer's speed was not slow either, but he still couldn't keep up with Yang Zengyue.
This is a contest of pure force and speed.
Chen Jiaer could feel that Yang Zengyue's strength had improved a lot. They had fought against each other before, but it was never so difficult.
After she came back, her strength had obviously improved, but when facing Yang Zengyue, she was not even half as strong as her.
Yang Zengyue’s strength is becoming more and more terrifying!
This time the battle between the two is different from the last time Chen Jiaer fought Rong Chuan. This is her true speed.
Can't see.
Not even a shadow can be seen!
Jiuxiao was shocked.
After the two stopped, he looked at Zengyue and found that her expression was more relaxed. He couldn't see the speed at which she responded, but he could feel that Zengyue's strength was above Chen Jiaer's, and much higher.
Jiuxiao had only seen special effects on TV for battles of this level.
All that could be heard was the sound of two people's fists colliding and the sound of wind caused by rapid movement.
Chen Jiaer has never fought with anyone like this since he came back. He has no chance and he doesn't dare to.
The last fight with Shi Rongchuan wasn't really a fight at all. She hadn't fought Zengyue in a long time. After half an hour, Chen Jiaer was exhausted and panting: "This is a real fight, Sister Zengyue, your strength has increased again."
Yang Zengyue stopped attacking, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Well, Jia'er, you have improved a lot too."
It seems that there are many benefits to coming back from the apocalypse. Both she and Chen Jiaer are several levels stronger than they were in the apocalypse.
They are faster, their attacks are more accurate, and their judgment is more precise. In other words, their five senses have been greatly enhanced.
During the battle, Yang Zengyue could even determine Chen Jiaer's next trajectory.
She could sense her slightest movement and thus determine the location of the attack.
Also, she can change the direction of the wind.
You can also get more information from the wind.
This has never happened in the last days.
The two men wiped the sweat off their bodies and returned to the eaves, where Jiuxiao sat and watched.
Seeing the expression of relief and pride on her master's kind face, Yang Zengyue was very happy. She felt that she should grow up to be the person her master wanted to see.
I didn't let him down for all these years of raising me.
Jiu Xiao said to the two girls earnestly, "After the end of the world, there will definitely be more people with special abilities. Even though you have experienced it once, you still must not be careless. You must know that there are always better things."
The two girls nodded in unison: "Master, don't worry, we will only work harder to improve ourselves, will not underestimate any enemy, and will not be arrogant."
Arrogance kills quickly.
These two people understand this principle better than anyone else.
Jiuxiao felt that he could no longer keep up with the two girls. With his current skills, he probably couldn't even last three moves against them.
I wonder if he will encounter an opportunity when the end of the world really comes.
Yang Zengyue saw that his master's face suddenly became heavy, and he knew what he was thinking. He sat next to Jiuxiao, holding his hand like they did when they were children, and said confidently: "Master, don't worry, you will definitely get a chance after the end of the world."
