Chapter 188: Stop it, stop it, I really don’t want to be the patriarch anymore!
When Lu Wenwu showed his big white teeth and talked to himself and others while kneading dough, Gu Taixing was completely confused.
Before arriving here, he had imagined many scenes of meeting the people here in his mind, and also imagined the appearance and dress of many people here.
I just didn't expect this one. Uh...
The painting style of this Taoist priest is so fresh and refined, if he is really a Taoist priest.
“You…”
Gu Taixing was suddenly stuck and stood there in a daze for a moment.
Qian Qian and Yan Chao, two good friends, looked at Maomao who was spitting fire and Lu Wenwu who was too big to look like a giant, with shocked expressions on their faces.
On this trip, I seem to have been lucky enough to find the immortal destiny.
It’s just that the painting style of this “immortal” is really weird.
The two naive female college students didn't know whether it was the desire to survive or they had been in the ivory tower for too long and were completely defenseless against other people, but they dragged their bodies straight to Lu Wenwu.
"Brother, can you give us some water and food? We will pay." Xu Qiao's throat was hoarse due to lack of water, and his voice was very weak.
Lan Xin, who was supporting her, nodded immediately and bowed. "Please, please do us a favor. Once we get down the mountain and reach a signal area, we'll transfer the money to you immediately! We'll definitely make a longevity tablet for you at home when we get back!"
"It's just a small favor, no need to be so serious." Lu Wenwu smiled slightly, but hesitantly said, "But as for drinking water, I don't seem to have a suitable water storage container for you. Wait a moment."
After saying that, Lu Wenwu put down the dough in his hand, casually called a stream of water and washed his hands carefully.
Then he took out a few ordinary iron ingots and placed them in his hand.
In just a moment, the iron ingot turned into a whitish orange-red, and an astonishing heat wave hit me in the face.
Lu Wenwu exerted a little force with his fingers and actually kneaded the iron ingot into several large metal bowls just like kneading mud!
The fingerprints on it are still clearly visible!
With another casual wave of his hand, a stream of cold water rushed down, and the five metal bowls cooled down quickly.
When they came to their senses, five bowls of slightly cool spring water appeared in front of them.
"Drink it, don't choke."
The two female college students could no longer hold back and without caring about their manners, they picked up the bowls and started drinking.
The three guys including Gu Taixing were no exception. They came up almost at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and started drinking at the same time after expressing their gratitude.
The refreshingly cool spring water enters the body, with a slight viscosity and sweet taste unique to mountain spring water. It seems as if a strange power spreads to every part of the body, slowly dispelling all fatigue and tiredness.
The more Gu Taixing drank, the more frightened he became.
This is simply holy water!
It's even more powerful than the holy water sold by those sects worshipping Western gods!
Alone in this deep forest, he has a giant dog that can spit fire and refine elixirs. He can also pick up objects from thin air, heat steel with his bare hands, and knead it like plasticine.
Could it be that he and his companions had encountered the legendary immortal cultivator?!
The Immortal of Destiny answered his prayer! ?
Lu Wenwu saw that the three boys were looking at him with increasingly strange eyes, with strong respect in their admiration, and he knew that they seemed to have imagined something in their minds.
The water they were given to drink was not special water at all, but a spiritual spring from Lingtian Mountain.
This is not a rare thing on a mountain with top-grade spiritual veins and several high-grade spiritual veins.
Lu Wenwu connected several pipes to the sources of several spiritual springs, and used them as tap water for farming, breeding, daily life, etc.
Several people gulped down the water.
It seemed that the spiritual spring water tasted too good, or perhaps it was because the few people had been thirsty for too long, and they almost drank up the water in the bowl.
Not to mention the two girls, even tall and strong athletic guys like Yan Chao and Gu Taixing were burping so much that water seemed to be coming out of their mouths.
Qian Qian, who had drunk a little less, struggled to give Lu Wenwu a strange salute:
"Thank you very much, senior, for your help. Sorry, this is a bit rude. We are all third-year students majoring in mythology and archaeology at Yanjing University. I wonder if you could have the audacity to escort us down the mountain? Once we get down, I will definitely give you a generous gift!"
"Go down the mountain? That's easy. Let's talk about it after I have lunch. Of course, if you can still eat, you can eat together. You look like you've been hungry for a long time."
Lu Wenwu, who was rolling the dough into a pancake, smiled and showed his big white teeth again.
"But first, you have to tell me what Yanjing Academy is. And what is the Mythology and Archaeology major?"
"You don't know?"
Xu Qiao blurted out, with a strong look of disbelief on her face.
As if realizing that her words were inappropriate, she immediately said, "Sorry, senior, that's not what I meant. I..."
"It's okay, I understand."
Lu Wenwu took out the egg-filled pancakes that had been baked earlier and placed them on the upper layer of the stove to heat. He then lit a fire and placed the new pancake dough on the frying pan next to it for initial processing.
Since there are cultivators in this world, things will be much easier.
"I can sense the fluctuations in your soul. I understand what you mean. It was just an unintentional mistake, but I'm taking it too seriously."
"Soul fluctuations? Can you, can you read minds?"
Xu Qiao's face became even more surprised, and then a blush flashed across her face. I don't know what she was thinking.
Lu Wenwu shook his head. "No, I can only sense some emotional changes. Your spiritual sea is too weak in front of me, like an open door. Even if I don't deliberately 'look', I can still see it all with my peripheral vision."
Yan Chao's eyes had already sparkled just now.
He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked cautiously: "Excuse me, Senior, are you...are you that very, very powerful...Xiu...Xiu?"
This guy is a bit like Ye Gong who loves dragons but doesn't like them.
Normally, he was looking forward to meeting the legendary immortal cultivator, but at this moment, he stuttered out of nervousness.
"You want to ask if I'm an immortal cultivator? Probably," Lu Wenwu replied while baking pancakes. "I do know a little bit about magic and Taoism, but I'm not very proficient."
He had previously obtained a portion of the Maoshan Taoist magic inheritance in the zombie copy.
However, Lu Wenwu basically never used it. He just tried it out and learned a few more practical auxiliary Taoist techniques that could save him some trouble in daily life.
Yan Chao was a little confused for a moment: "Ah? But don't the historical documents all record something like this? Powerful immortal cultivators can burn the sky and boil the sea, and even overturn the world with a single spell."
Lu Wenwu shrugged. "No need. One punch will solve everything. If it doesn't work, just punch again. Since I started practicing, I haven't encountered an opponent that I couldn't solve with my fists."
With. Fists!?
Have you ever encountered an opponent that needed to be dealt with using magic?!
Wait!
A punch that shakes mountains and rivers and turns the world upside down?
hiss!
As top students majoring in mythology and archaeology, these people seemed to realize something at the same time, their eyes filled with intense shock and disbelief.
This characteristic is clearly the situation of the first group of big guys who embarked on the path of cultivation in mortal bodies after the disappearance of the ancient gods!
The cultivation methods at that time were still imperfect, and mainly focused on hunting exotic beasts and strengthening the body.
In mythological history, that period is called the beginning of human civilization, and the period before that was the stage of mythological civilization.
As for these first people who embarked on the path of cultivation, mythological history has a special name for them.
The pioneer.
Lan Xin looked at Lu Wenwu with reverence and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, Senior, you are so powerful. I wonder how many days and months of hard training you have gone through? This kind of life must be very hard and monotonous, right?"
"How long? I don't remember."
Lu Wenwu stretched out the fried pancake and skillfully poured eggs into it.
"It wouldn't be called hardship, but maybe it's monotonous. In this cave I've opened up, I usually practice, research egg-filled pancakes, and raise some small animals. It was always like this before I met you."
Maomao, who was standing by, said, "Master is very hardworking!"
The cave that I opened up myself!
It was like this until I met myself and others!
And there is also a spirit beast that can speak human language!
The five of them were almost numb from shock.
At this time, they have completely confirmed that the cultivator in front of them, who does not look like a Taoist priest, must be an extremely powerful pioneer.
He has always lived away from human habitation, practicing asceticism since ancient times.
He has even reached the level of immortals and gods, where he can carve out a small space for himself as a cave!
It was amazing that they were lucky enough to be rescued by such an ancestor of mankind with extraordinary fighting power!
And the other party was surprisingly gentle!
"By the way, you haven't answered my question yet. What are Yenching Academy and the Mythology and Archaeology major?" Lu Wenwu asked.
Gu Taixing quickly replied, "Senior, the Yanjing Academy is a place dedicated to imparting knowledge. You can think of it as an organization dedicated to imparting non-cultivation knowledge. There are many learned elders, and we students are all considered registered disciples of those learned elders."
"As for the Mythology Archaeology major, it uses unearthed artifacts from ancient times to study, speculate, and record the historical changes of the Mythology era, as well as to organize and revise some historical records that cultivators have not recorded."
"What is the mythological era?" Lu Wenwu asked honestly.
This time, it was Qian Qian who spoke up to explain, "Senior, the Mythological Age is how we, the descendants, define time. The nearly 100,000 years ruled by the ancient immortals and gods is what scholars call the Mythological Age. The era we live in now is called the Human Age."
"The human era began approximately ten thousand years after the ancient gods completely vanished. Under the guidance of 'path-breakers' like you, humans gradually broke free from the gifts bestowed by the immortal gods, mastered the power of cultivation, and began to create our own civilization. Some even ascended to become new immortal gods, and this has continued to develop to the present day."
Having said that, Qian Qian suddenly bowed ninety degrees and saluted deeply with his fists clasped.
"Thank you for your contributions to our descendants. Without pioneers like you, we would never be able to truly control our own destiny."
"No, no, no, I'm not some path-breaker." Lu Wenwu quickly refused. "I just practiced alone in silence. I haven't made any contribution to mankind, so I dare not take credit for it. I'd rather leave that title to the true path-breakers."
As someone who traveled through time to complete a dungeon mission, he was unworthy of such an epic title as "The Pioneer".
If he really admitted it, it would be disrespectful to the true pioneers of this world.
What's more, from what this guy said, it seems that some of those who pioneered the way have already achieved enlightenment and become immortals, or have ascended to the throne and become new immortal gods.
Things are gradually getting interesting.
I wonder if the immortals and gods in this world are pure?
Even though Lu Wenwu tried his best to refuse, Gu Taixing and others seemed determined to respect him as the ancestor of mankind who pioneered the way.
No one of them had the simple admiration for the strong man as before, but instead regarded him as a respected elder, and they were all serious and solemn.
This made Lu Wenwu feel a little helpless.
Fortunately, this seems to have greatly helped him integrate into this world.
It seems that in this world, from time to time, archaeologists will dig out a few cultivators from unknown eras from the wild, and therefore have a mature set of experience in dealing with things.
Although it was the first time for future archaeologists like Gu Taixing who were still learning, they were obviously no longer surprised by such things and had a strong ability to accept them.
even.
These guys seemed to treat this as a practical course to verify their professional knowledge. They used the knowledge from books and professors to frantically gain experience points from Lu Wenwu.
I don’t know if Lu Wenwu can help them add some quantitative scores or count it as graduation practice or something like that.
Bad news: Being forced to be someone else’s ancestor is really tiring.
Good news: There is no need to go to great lengths to collect information about this world. These professional players are explaining the current state of the world to him in a textbook-level manner.
Simply put, this is a technological civilization with a cultivation system. The technological level is roughly equivalent to that of Blue Star before Lu Wenwu traveled through time, and there are still immortal gods here.
In the East, they are called immortals and the corresponding cultivators of immortality, while in the West, they are called gods and the corresponding extraordinary people.
Immortals and gods usually live in the heavens and the realm of gods.
The immortal cultivators and extraordinary people formed different sects. Some of them hid in the secular world or in the deep mountains and forests, while others hid in the small world of their own sect.
Everyone knows of their existence, but few are lucky enough to see them in person.
Or even if they saw them on the street, they wouldn't recognize them.
The humans and all living things in this world, and even the entire world, were clearly created by ancient immortals and gods.
The ancient gods and immortals were generally divided into two opposing camps, gods and immortals, and they sent their followers to attack each other and launch wars between gods. Occasionally, the large camps would split into small camps to fight each other.
This went on for a hundred thousand years.
For some unknown reasons, the ancient gods fell into the Ragnarok and disappeared one after another.
All existing immortals and gods have ascended from humans.
The conflicts that had accumulated and the hatred that had continued from the mythological era among the new generation of immortals and gods had divided mortal civilization into two parts, the West and the East, and countries of all sizes emerged.
Although there have been some minor frictions between these countries from time to time, overall they are much more harmonious than in the mythological era.
After understanding the current situation, Lu Wenwu used egg-filled pancakes to build closer relationships and also learned the reason why several people were trapped in the "ghost wall" this time.
It was the abandoned temple that Lu Wenwu had detected not long ago.
Its correct name is Daohuo Zhenjun Temple.
In the mythological era, this place was used to worship an ancient immortal.
A True Lord who is considered powerful among the ancient immortals and gods!
