"Who painted these stone carvings and what are they for?"
Xu Wuzhou was confused and muttered to himself.
He didn't expect anyone to answer, he just sighed.
"I painted it, just for the saint!"
An unexpected voice sounded in the silent space, startling Xu Wuzhou and Ruoshui.
Xu Wuzhou used a torch to shine in the direction of the sound, and saw a stone house in a corner not far ahead, with an old woman living inside.
The old woman's whole body was covered with a layer of mist, and her face looked down, as if there were laws blocking it.
The bodies of Xu Wuzhou and Ruoshui tensed up. They had never thought that there were people living deep in this cave.
"If you're afraid, then why come in?"
The old woman glanced at the two of them and said in a lifeless tone.
Xu Wuzhou took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "I wonder who the senior is?"
"Just a descendant of the mountain guard."
The old woman answered Xu Wuzhou.
"Mountain Guardian?"
Xu Wuzhou said in confusion.
"The guardian of the Taihang Mountains."
The old woman said again.
Xu Wuzhou was startled and asked the old woman: "You mean, all the eighteen mountain ranges have mountain guards?"
"As time goes by, how many things can remain in the present.
There are eighteen mountain ranges, and there are several more mountain keepers who keep the original intention and pass on the legacy."
The old woman murmured.
Seeing that the old woman had no hostility, Xu Wuzhou continued to ask: "Is that the sage that the senior painted?"
"The Ancestor of the Human Race!"
The old woman answered.
This sentence made Xu Wuzhou and Ruoshui freeze in their hearts. What kind of existence is the ancestor of the human race? It is an existence that has made great contributions to the human race, is respected by the world, and is invincible in the heavens.
"Who is the one who killed the big demon with one glance?"
Xu Wuzhou asked again.
"My ancestors, followers of the ancestor of the human race, are also servants."
The old woman answered.
This sentence made Xu Wuzhou and Ruoshui stand in awe.
What kind of existence is the servant of the human ancestor?
He is also the most noble person in the world.
Even the First Saint is far inferior.
As long as you have something to do with the Ancestor Emperor, you are absolutely extraordinary.
Not to mention his closest servants and followers.
Xu Wuzhou never imagined that this old woman with such status would be related to the ancestor emperor.
Xu Wuzhou thought of something and asked the old woman: "It is rumored that the ancestors' ways are left on the ancestral mountain of the human race. Does the senior know about it?"
The old woman looked at Xu Wuzhou and replied: "The years have gone too long, and everything has returned to dust.
Our ancestors may have known it, but by our time, everything has become unknown.
Just like the mountain guards, they are more powerful than the Holy Lord, but how many of them still remember the time?"
Xu Wuzhou didn't know why the old woman sighed like this, but she was still a little surprised when she said that the guardian of the mountain was better than the Holy Lord.
"What do you want when you come in here?"
The old woman asked Xu Wuzhou, "The Ancestral Emperor's Avenue?"
Xu Wuzhou said: "I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes. I don't want to get anything. I just saw this place, so I came to explore it. I have never met my senior here."
"In that case, then you can do whatever you want."
The old woman said.
Xu Wuzhou was startled, originally thinking that the other party would drive them away.
"I wonder if senior can tell me where this cave leads to."
Xu Wuzhou asked.
"I don't know!"
"I don't know?"
Xu Wuzhou became more and more confused.
"I said that time has gone so long that many things are unknown.
Although I am a mountain guardian, I have not been able to guard this mountain all my life like my ancestors.
When I was young, I also traveled around the world and enjoyed it."
The old woman said, "It's just that in my old age, I don't care about people, so I came back here.
Wherever this leads, I walked through it, but it was blocked and I couldn't reach the end."
When Xu Wuzhou heard what the old woman said, he didn't know if he could believe it.
The old woman didn't care whether Xu Wuzhou believed it or not, but said to herself: "I don't want to see the world, but I can't escape the world after all. It seems that I have to change my place to live."
Xu Wuzhou looked at the old woman, who was hazy all over. Xu Wuzhou originally thought that this old man might not be restricted by the rules of the Nine Palaces Sanctuary.
Otherwise, it wouldn't give him such a feeling.
In the Divine Treasure Realm, Xu Wuzhou was not afraid of anyone at this time.
But facing the old woman, I still felt heart palpitations.
It seems that as soon as she takes action, she will surely die.
Under this feeling, Xu Wuzhou didn't know whether he could believe the old woman's words or whether he should continue to move forward.
Just as Xu Wuzhou was standing quietly holding Ruoshui, he heard footsteps. Xu Wuzhou knew that this was the arrival of Wang Zongding and his party.
Sure enough, a large group of people arrived.
When Wang Zongding saw the old woman, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he respectfully saluted the old woman and said, "I have met the God Lord!"
God?
Xu Wuzhou looked at Wang Zongding blankly, and then looked at the old woman.
When the old woman heard this title, she looked at Wang Zongding and said, "Who are you?"
Wang Zongding was respectful and said: "This junior is the son of Prince Lu. My father asked me to say hello to the Lord God."
"You don't have to be like this, but I am not the Lord of God.
