Chapter 4 The Seven Monsters of the Tianshan Mountains 2
The two weirdos agreed so easily, which was beyond Ye Sheng's expectation.
Including Senior Xu, three people agreed, leaving four people.
The fourth weirdo is the successor of the ancient totem.
This is a profession, a profession that should have disappeared in the long river of history.
Totems were the objects of worship by people in ancient times. At that time, spiritual practice was not obvious and monsters were powerful. Human beings worshiped these monsters, and various totems appeared.
But as humans figured out the way to practice, the belief in totems collapsed and fell into silence. Now, totems have no information.
As soon as he got close to the totem successor, Ye Sheng saw countless huge stones erected and carved into various totem shapes.
There is a man with a sphinx body, a man with a snake tail, a ferocious face with three heads and six arms...
Every once in a while, Ye Sheng could see one.
These totems were carved by the heirs, and they are probably placed here to commemorate them.
Senior Xu took Ye Sheng through the totem forest and met the successor.
A thin, middle-aged man with a slovenly appearance was carving on a huge stone, his body covered with dust.
When the successor saw Ye Sheng and Senior Xu arriving, he stopped, sat on the ground and looked at Ye Sheng and said, "You want me to agree?"
Ye Sheng nodded.
"Okay, I can agree. Anyway, it's a waste to leave that thing over there." The heir said nonchalantly.
"What are the conditions?" Ye Sheng asked.
"Smart, the conditions are very simple. Carve a totem for me and tell a piece of its mythical history." The heir said with bright eyes.
Senior Xu frowned and said coldly: "So what if you are not satisfied with the carved totem and the story?"
"There's nothing you can do about it. You have to impress me. You can make one up." The heir said calmly.
Ye Sheng thought for a while, reached out and picked up the tool in the successor's hand, and started carving.
Not long after the construction of this big stone started, Ye Sheng happened to be carving on it.
While carving, Ye Sheng began to tell the story.
Pangu opened the sky!
The totem carved by Ye Sheng is Pangu, which is the beginning of the history of Chinese mythology. Pangu created the world, created the world today, and then exhausted himself and transformed into all things.
Ye Sheng spent the whole morning carving this.
The majestic Pangu was carved out, holding a giant ax in his hand.
The heir listened to this story and was fascinated. He was stunned and felt huge waves in his heart.
The creation of the world is made of totems, and the origin of everything comes from Pangu. This is simply an excellent idea.
After Ye Sheng finished the work, the successor looked at Pangu, who was more than five meters tall, with excitement on his face and said: "I agree, go get the alchemy furnace quickly, this story and this statue are enough."
The successor was so crazy that he was inspired by Ye Shengyi. Inspiration came out like a tide. He was so excited that he could not wait to record his thoughts. There was still time for Ye Sheng and Senior Xu.
"The story is well told." Senior Xu said on the way to the next weirdo's house.
Ye Sheng said: "I also heard what others said."
"If we could have had this story earlier and used it as a basis to develop a complete system, the ancient totem would not have declined to only such a single descendant." Senior Xu said with regret.
Ye Sheng couldn't answer the conversation, so he simply stopped talking.
Not long after walking, Ye Sheng saw a huge cemetery.
The cemetery is filled with white cherry blossom trees, which bloom brightly. The neat tombs are well built. The only pity is that none of these tombstones have a tombstone.
Gravekeeper, this is also one of the Seven Monsters of Tianshan Mountain.
The Seven Tianshan Monsters rarely go down the mountain, and several people only go down the mountain every few years. Only the tombkeepers go out every once in a while, and they will definitely bring a few corpses with them when they come back.
This cemetery was built in this way.
Ye Sheng and Senior Xu came to the entrance of the cemetery and found that the door was open, as if to welcome them.
The cherry blossoms were falling slowly, falling to the ground and disappearing in an instant.
Senior Xu said: "You go in, I won't go in."
Ye Sheng didn't know why she didn't go in, but since she mentioned it like this, she just didn't want to go in.
He had to go in alone.
There were several tombs at the entrance. Ye Sheng noticed them, nodded one by one, and walked over.
On one side of the center of the cemetery, there is a thatched house. In front of the thatched house, there is a white-haired old man, leaning on a cane and looking at Ye Sheng.
"Senior." Ye Sheng came over respectfully and said.
"Do you want the alchemy furnace?" the tombkeeper asked.
He was very old, older than the sword-carrying old man Ye Sheng had seen, and he also exuded the aura of old age, as if his old eyes were dim.
But Ye Sheng would not underestimate him. If so, would Senior Xu be too afraid to come in?
"I want it." Ye Sheng said truthfully.
"Very well, to be honest, it's easy for you to want. I'm the same as the previous people. It's not difficult to ask. There are one hundred and eight large tombs here. You clean them once. I'm old and can't do such a job.
If you don't come, you can do it." The tombkeeper said calmly.
"Okay." Ye Sheng agreed without hesitation. He was just sweeping the graves of one hundred and eight people, so there was nothing difficult about it.
Taking a broom and dustpan, Ye Sheng began the cleaning work.
When sweeping the first big tomb, Ye Sheng felt very relaxed and finished it quickly.
But while scanning the second seat, Ye Sheng felt something sound ringing in his ears.
When sweeping the third tomb, Ye Sheng knew that it was the soul in the tomb talking.
He was not nervous, but took the initiative to chat with the other party.
The other party ignored Ye Sheng and spoke to Ye Sheng in an eerie tone.
Ye Sheng went his own way, letting you whisper in my ear, without any fear, and carefully cleaned one hundred and eight large tombs.
After finishing cleaning, one hundred and eight voices sounded in Ye Sheng's ears, intertwined and mixed together.
If ordinary people came here, they would definitely feel scared, but Ye Sheng was not at all. He let these 'ghosts' mutter, came to the tomb guard, and said: "I have finished cleaning them."
"Didn't you hear any strange noises?" the tombkeeper asked.
Ye Sheng smiled and said, "I heard it. At first there was one person talking, and now there are 108 people talking. You can't even hear them clearly. It's as chaotic as a vegetable market."
The tombkeeper was stunned.
The one hundred and eight voices in Ye Sheng's ears also stopped at the same time. There was nothing to say. They threatened Ye Sheng in a circle, and they were evaluated like a vegetable market.
I'm so tired.
The tombkeeper sighed and said, "Go and find the next one. I don't want that alchemy furnace anymore."
"Thank you, senior." Ye Sheng said happily, turned and left.
After Ye Sheng came out, Senior Xu said with satisfaction: "Well done."
Ye Sheng smiled calmly and followed Senior Xu to the last two houses.
