The two disciples were startled by the sudden appearance of Fang Shiwen, and at the same time they were also curious. However, they soon realized that the other party must be the "foreign visitor" who had been reported to everyone in the door a few days ago.
Compared to hundreds of years ago, news about "outside the territory" is no longer new. Not to mention the forces like Duoyashan that stand at the forefront of the Wild Sky Territory, even ordinary human nations are no strangers to "outside the territory".
Even if it just stays on the basis of the Yin clan and the three-eyed clan.
But this is the first time for "visitors from outside the territory".
The two disciples of Duoya Mountain are still new to the profession. They came here to fetch water at the request of their senior brothers and sisters. They had nothing to do and chatted about the story books they had been reading recently. Some of the contents in the books came from
"Book of Taoism", but more of it was summarized by three second-generation disciples from the sect master's narration.
The name of the book was also said by the sect leader. It is called "Journey to the West". It is a mysterious story that spans the three realms and is based on a journey of seeking scriptures in the human world.
Whether you look at the surface or see through the surface to see the inside, "Journey to the West" is a rare story. There are many fascinating things in it. It is said to be written by Yang Rui, the master of law enforcement with the best writing skills. Now it is a cliff
A favorite "idle book" among middle and low-level disciples in the mountains.
As for high-level disciples, they are already familiar with it, so naturally they will not read it again.
"This, senior, are you talking about Sun Dasheng's story?"
The two and a half-year-old children were not afraid. How could they be afraid of anyone in their own mountain gate? They were more curious. Because in their eyes, although Fang Shiwen looked middle-aged, he was actually quite a bit older.
Why are you still interested in "stories"? So I asked subconsciously.
Fang Shiwen nodded and said with a smile: "You two little brothers, what is Sun Dasheng's background? We have never heard of such a person here."
Seeing that the other party clearly mentioned "Sun Dasheng" again, the two and a half-year-old children glanced at each other and then started talking.
"Senior, Sun Dasheng is not an ordinary person. He was transformed into the sacred stone left over after Empress Nuwa mended the sky. It took the shape of a monkey and was a great stone monkey demon. He was born on the Huaguo Mountain in the Aolai Kingdom of Dongsheng Divine Continent.
....”
"Wait a minute! Who is Empress Nuwa? Why Mend Tian?" At the beginning, Fang Shiwen felt that he didn't understand what he was hearing.
The two disciples laughed and started telling Fang Shiwen some fragments of stories before "Journey to the West".
Why are they fragments? Because these are not in "Journey to the West" to begin with, but are spliced together by the disciples in the mountains looking for clues from their own channels and some sects' classics. Although they are not written into a book, they are basically some rough sketches before "Journey to the West".
The context has also been arranged to look like a pattern.
At first, Fang Shiwen was confused as he listened. What about Nuwa creating human beings, about destroying the sky and destroying the world, and about quarrying stones to mend the sky... This was completely beyond his cognition, and he could hear it clearly.
It feels like "I don't understand, but I can figure it out". It's very strange.
Then a stone monkey demon popped out of a stone, officially kicking off the story.
Fang Shiwen is no stranger to demons. There are many demons and immortals in the Chaos Sect. Not to mention monkey demons, there are all kinds of strange things?
But can a demon fairy be so ridiculously powerful right from birth?
The clever stone monkey understands changes, knows the time of the sky, knows the location, and can move stars and change battles!
This is still talking about his innate abilities. Later, there are those who have been chasing the strength of demons and immortals for thousands of years without a teacher. Later, they were accepted as disciples by an "ancestor" and learned skills that are all over the world.
Then he became arrogant and unbridled, beating him from the sea to the sky, and then from the sky to the earth. Finally, he was known as "Qitian" and became one of the demon saints of heaven and earth.
After hearing this, the smile on Fang Shiwen's face also faded. What he tasted from these "stories" was not only "wonderful" and "magical", but he also consciously discovered unknown things about the mysterious veil of the great world.
.
"Senior, it's getting late. The two of us have to fetch water and go back to cook. I can't continue chatting with you. But if you are interested, you can go to the library, where there is a complete copy of "Journey to the West".
And some related miscellaneous notes. It’s much more interesting than what we tell it like this.”
The two and a half-year-old children talked for a while, and they were addicted to telling stories. But even if they wanted to talk to Fang Shiwen, they had no time. If they didn't go back, they would be late for cooking, and they would be punished.
.so I could only say goodbye.

Fang Shiwen waved his hand with a smile, and two purple-reddish spirit stones fell into the hands of the two and a half-year-old children.
Seeing that the other party was about to refuse, Fang Shiwen smiled and said: "Take it. I, Fang Shiwen, listened to your story and wasted your time. It's just two stones. If you don't give it, it's my fault. If you don't accept it, you don't give me face."
." After saying that, without waiting for the other party to speak again, he moved away and disappeared.
"Li Ling, this, is this a spiritual stone? How can there be a spiritual stone of this color?"
"I don't know. Let's go back and ask Master. I think there is so much spiritual energy in this stone that it's scary!"
"Well! That person just now is from outside the territory, and this stone must also be from outside the territory. Li Ling, do you think all spirit stones from outside the territory look like this?"
The two half-grown children carrying water out of the stream didn't know that the two spiritual stones in their hands were indeed extraordinary. They were the best of the best. How could a dignified immortal have ordinary things in his hands?
Fang Shiwen, who had moved away from the creek, appeared again in the library the two disciples were talking about.
Fang Shiwen didn't shy away. He went straight to the library manager and explained his purpose. The other person very politely gave him a copy of "Journey to the West". It was very thick, three inches long, and it was a big book. It is conceivable that the content in it was not large.
In addition to the original copy of "Journey to the West", Fang Shiwen also borrowed some derivative miscellaneous notes about "Journey to the West". Since these were filled in later by his disciples, they could not be given away. Fang Shiwen borrowed them and planned to insert them into the jade slips before returning them.
Fang Shiwen did all this in an upright and open manner, without even the slightest thought of hiding it from Zhang Yan.
And Zhang Yan really had no intention of intervening in Fang Shiwen's behavior. After all, what the other party did was not within the scope of what was prohibited by Duyashan.
But Zhang Yan was very curious as to why Fang Shiwen was suddenly so interested in "Journey to the West", which existed as an interesting essay in the sect in the cliff mountain.
You must know that although "Journey to the West" was written by three brothers and sisters of Wang Nian based on the stories he told, it was also Zhang Yan who wanted to use this to let the disciples of Duyashan have a deep imagination about "cultivation" instead of always facing it.
Taoist calligraphy techniques are spinning and hanging, which is not conducive to practice. It is better to have a clear goal.
However, the story in Zhang Yan's eyes is completely different in Fang Shiwen's eyes.
Story? Fantasy?
The more Fang Shiwen read "Journey to the West" in his hands, the more he felt that what he was holding in his hands might be a historical fact from the ancient world. It was definitely not a story...
