Chapter 21 The Millennium Ancient Temple

"Uh, is it really true?"

Pei Wende couldn't help but touch his bald head anymore. For a moment, Pei Wende didn't know how to answer the Tudong's doubts.

Because he never thought that there would be such a coincidence in this world.

[No, this is not a coincidence, but the inevitable entanglement of cause and effect.]

Opening his eyes slightly, Xiaoqing's voice echoed in Pei Wende's heart again.

Two years ago, Pei Wende was still in Chang'an, and through a series of fateful encounters, he was involved in the general struggle for dynasty change.

In that battle, Li Gang, known as the "Tiangang Sword", specifically found the corpse of the dragon girl who had given him dragon blood in order to deal with Wulin Shui's immortality.

Or to describe it more accurately, Li Gang dug up the burial place of the dragon girl and took away a drop of her hard work.

It can be said that Wulin Shui went on a rampage in the end and was killed by Zi Yang with a thunderbolt, which was all the result of Li Gang's blasphemy against the Dragon Girl.

Pei Wende originally thought that this would be the end of the matter.

But he never expected that this small incident, which he regarded as an "incident", would cause Runzhou, thousands of miles away, to suffer such a disaster.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived!"

Not knowing what Pei Wende was thinking, the landlord saw that Pei Wende did not answer his question directly, so he wisely shifted his gaze to the shore not far away.

Looking along the tugong's gaze, he saw that the magnificent building complex from before was already within easy reach.

The place where the fishing boats are currently berthed is directly below this magnificent building complex, a ferry specially used to receive foreign ships.

Even though it has been baptized by the years and is full of traces of vicissitudes and dilapidation, its peak capacity can still be vaguely seen.

Boom!

When the weasels struggled to hold up the oars and bring the fishing boat closer to the river bank nearest to them, the abandoned bell at the ferry rang immediately.

That's not because someone is using the ferry, but it's a reaction mechanism that the ferry originally had.

Whenever a ship approaches the ferry, the bronze bell not far away will naturally ring due to the influence of the mechanism, and the louder the sound represents the greater the weight of the ship.

And this special mechanism that uses water transportation still maintains its most basic operation even today, hundreds of years later.

"What a wonderful structure!"

As a time traveler from the 21st century, Pei Wende naturally saw through the mechanical principle of the bell at a glance.

Although this mechanism only uses the simplest levers and transmission principles, in this era of extremely underdeveloped natural science, maintaining such an exquisite structure for hundreds of years is still far beyond Pei Wende's imagination.

After all, the more sophisticated the mechanism, the more people need to maintain it all year round.

Machinery that can operate autonomously for hundreds of years and does not require outsiders to maintain it simply cannot be viewed with common sense.

"Let me walk the rest of the way alone! Just wait here."

Jumping onto the ferry at the lead, Pei Wende turned around and said to the Landlord and the weasels.

"Your Majesty?"

It seemed that he had never expected that Pei Wende would go up the mountain alone. The landowner was stunned for a long time, and then he opened his mouth hesitantly.

"I never planned to let you go up the mountain with me from the beginning. After all, it's too dangerous here."

Smiling and shrugging, Pei Wende whispered in a completely different attitude than before.

"Besides, if there is another universe in 'Suolongjing', all of you following him up the mountain would be nothing more than a burden."

The landlord doesn't know how much of Pei Wende's words are true and how much of them are false?

The only thing he was sure of was that Pei Wende was different from all the humans he had come into contact with before.

"Your Majesty, Longyou Lake is too dangerous, so let me follow you up the mountain!"

After a brief silence, Tudigong's attitude also changed 180 degrees, and even Xiaoqing could clearly hear the sincerity and sincerity in his tone.

"No need, just stay here and protect your nephews."

When he said this, Pei Wende also pointed at the group of weasels who looked curious and seemed to want to follow him and jump onto the ferry.

"If anything dangerous happens after I go up the mountain, take them out of here immediately."

There was a slight pause in his tone, and then Pei Wende continued.

"If you still have some conscience when you fall, you can also spread the word about what happened here and let the next demon hunter who comes here know the dangers of this place."

Although Pei Wende did not think that such an extreme situation would occur, this did not prevent him from making adequate preparations in advance.

Pei Wende just likes to solve problems directly in the simplest way, but he will still prepare various temporary plans in advance.

"Your Majesty has a destiny, and I have no choice but to do so!"

This time, Tutu Gong called Pei Wende "Venerable" from the bottom of his heart.

While being brave and wise, he is also very compassionate...

If such a being is not worthy of being called "Venerable", Tu Tu Gong can't think of anyone else in this world who can be called "Venerable".

"That's good, but this is just the worst outcome."

He turned around neatly and walked towards the temple, and only Pei Wende's faint voice reached the ear of the earth god.

"I don't think there is anything in this abandoned temple that can threaten me."

Listening to these words that were so confident and even arrogant, the Earth God's face suddenly burst into an unprecedented smile.

That was not the usual flattering or humble smile of the earth god, but a smile that came from the heart, full of heartfelt blessings and sincere expectations.

"What the venerable said is true. The little old man is just waiting for the venerable to make a triumphant return!"

No matter whether Pei Wende could hear it or not, the Tudong shouted loudly while looking at the other person's retreating back.

And in just a few words, Pei Wende's figure crossed a hundred meters at a speed that seemed slow but was actually fast.

Each step is just a slight step forward, but the moment it hits the ground, it can span several meters.

Looking from a distance, it seems that the normal concept of time and space no longer works on Pei Wende.

It seems like a light step, but in fact it can span a distance of more than ten steps.

However, this extreme difference between vision and reality did not bring any strange feeling to the onlookers.

It was as if Pei Wende walked naturally like this, and the sense of dissonance between his steps and the distance did not exist in him at all.

Not only that, Pei Wende's speed is even getting faster and faster, and he will be out of Tudigong's sight in an instant.
