"How do you know?" asked Baili Cat.

Hua Fan calmly replied, "I've been here once. ”

Everyone was stunned, and the cicada said curiously: "Huh, brother, when did you come? Why don't I know?"

Hua Fan glanced at the cicada, touched her head, and said in a low voice: "At that time, you were just born, and I was only nine years old. At that time, my father took me and my uncle here to visit a high-ranking person. ”

"What?" said the cicada with a sudden startled look, "Uncle, what did your father bring him for?"

Hua Fan didn't speak, but looked at an old man with a childish face and crane hair walking not far away.

There was no one around here just now.

In addition to painting Fan, Xun also discovered him at the same time.

"Venerable!"

When the handsome old man approached, he respectfully bowed.

The old man smiled and nodded, and said, "Well, I haven't seen you for so many years, you have grown up and become energetic!"

Then he asked, "Why did you come here all of a sudden? What about your father? How many of them are ......?"

"Oh, they are the friends I made in Dongyi, these three people are native people of Dongyi, these three are the warriors of the Central Plains Jiang family, these eight are the young talents of the Baili family, and this little brother is ...... The remnants of Yin Shang. ”

Hua Fan introduced a few people one by one, and paused when he introduced Zishang, his identity was a little special, and Hua Fan didn't know much.

"Why are we here...... It's because of wormholes!"

Speaking of wormholes, the old man couldn't help but be surprised, a little incredulous, thought for a while, and said:

"I sensed a strong spatial fluctuation just now, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect you to come out of the wormhole. ”

Hua Fan remembered that he hadn't introduced his sister yet, so he pulled the cicada in front of him and said, "Venerable, this is my sister Hua Cicada, and when she first came here that year, she was just born. ”

The cicada blinked his big eyes and looked at the "old man" in front of him.

"Little Cicada, call Venerable!" Hua Fan patted his sister's head and reminded.

"Oh!" the cicada was a little shy, and said coquettishly, "Hello Venerable!"

"Okay! the little girl looks pretty too!" said the old man with a smile on his face.

"Hmm, this is the ...... in your hand," he noticed the golden light flashing on the right hand of the cicada, and said, "Jimo, that old man Tian's work?"

The cicada stretched out his right hand, revealing the "Zhanmeng Curtain", and said suspiciously: "You said this, this was given by my father!"

Hua Fan hurriedly said on the side: "Yes, this is indeed Master Tian's work, when Xiao Cicada was two years old, his father went to Jimo to visit his old man's home. ”

The old man frowned slightly when he heard this, snorted lightly, and then his hand swept over the jade ornament around his waist, and a delicate belt appeared on his hand.

"Come, little girl, this is for you!"

The old man kindly handed the blue belt to the cicada.

Everyone else was amazed at the old man's generosity, and the belt was quite precious at first glance.

The azure blue belt is embellished with dozens of sparkling diamonds, like a bright galaxy in a clear sky, noble and graceful.

The material used in refining the belt is a thousand colored tough jade, which has the warm texture of jade, is flexible and wear-resistant, and also has a certain "memory".

In the Central Plains, the value of a thousand colored tough jade is almost equal to that of gold spirit silver stone!

This old man also used special refining techniques, as well as some rare auxiliary raw materials, so that the jade belt looked like a crystal blue liquid was flowing slowly, and the surface of the jade belt also seemed to have a pure light blue spiritual qi circulating, full of fairy energy!

Not to mention that the cicada looks at the glowing eyes, even rough men like Kunjue are greedy.

Although she liked the cicada very much, she didn't take it immediately, but turned back to look at her brother with the meaning of inquiry, but her eyes were already full of longing.

Hua Fan excused himself and said: "No, no, No, Venerable, this is too precious, the little sister can't afford it!

The old man was immediately unhappy, and said slightly angrily: "Old man Tian can give her something like Zhanmeng Curtain, what if I give her a jade belt? Do you think mine is not as valuable as his?"

“……”

Other onlookers couldn't help but sweat when they saw it, rich people are different, and they are really not stingy when compared.

At the same time, they are also more curious about the background of the Fan brothers and sisters, such a rich character actually cares for them!

The old man pretended to be very angry and stuffed the jade belt into the hand of the cicada, and said, "I will give it to you, even if your father comes, you can't say no!"

Seeing this, the painting fan is not good at refusing, and the cicada is also excited to tie the jade belt around the waist, and the temperament of the whole person has suddenly improved a lot, and a kind of beauty in the painting naturally exudes a breath, which makes people refreshed and refreshed.

"Thank you, Venerable!" said Hua Fan and patted the cicada again.

"Thank you, Venerable, you are really a jade tree in the wind, handsome and chic, graceful, and extraordinary......"

Painting the mouth of the cicada like a river, gushing about thanking and praising the old man, making him happy with red light and unable to close his mouth.

Zishang watched for a while, and couldn't help but feel that he and the others were really hillbilly-like existences, hanging on the side like salted fish here, and there was no sense of existence at all.

So he looked at the island absentmindedly.

Zishang's sense of direction is surprisingly good, and when he closes his eyes and senses it a little, he can judge that the south, south, west, and northwest are behind them, and behind them is the west.

Looking west, there is a long black line in the sky. It's supposed to be the coastline of the mainland.

Because the planet is so huge, it is estimated that the island is about 150 or 60 miles from the coast of the mainland.

Zishang thought secretly: The distance of one hundred and fifty or sixty miles is not too far, if it is in the Canghai area, it should be marked on the map.

Looking back at the map I knew, it seemed that there were only a few islands in the northeastern waters of the Dongnae region.

However, it seems that the size of this island is larger than those islands, so this island should not be in the Canghai area.

Suddenly, Zishang thought of something, was shocked, and stabbed Baili Maodao:

"It's over! We're not going to Niuliu Mountain! There are just over three months left! We may not be able to go back!"

Baili Cat also suddenly woke up, and beat his chest a little and said: "Yes! What are we doing here? I'll take it, if I don't rush over, the head of the house may blame us!"

"If you come here, you should know where this place is, and I'll ask him how to get back to the place before, and then we'll go day and night, maybe it's too late." Zishang said in a low voice.

Baili Cat frowned and nodded, now it has to do this.

At this time, the brother and sister of Huafan and the old man with the child's face and crane hair also greeted each other almost, in order not to let the scene cool down, Huafan said: "Venerable, since we came here by chance, then I will go to visit the uncle." He hadn't been home in years. ”

The old man said: "Well, okay! Your uncle has made new progress in his research in the past two years, and now he has forgotten to sleep and eat." ”

However, when he saw the group of people behind Hua Fan, he hesitated again and said, "These people ......"

Only then did Hua Fan think that there were still a large number of people in the cold, and hurriedly said, "That...... Let them come with me to the ruins, and I'll take them away. ”

The old man was still a little hesitant, as if he was scrupling about something, and Hua Fan then promised: "Don't worry, Venerable, I will be optimistic about them, and maybe they can help a little?"

Xun Ji also interjected: "We came to your place, it is also a kind of fate, the trajectory of fate allows us to gather here, maybe there is indeed its arrangement." ”

The old man and Xun He looked at each other for a while, then stopped groaning, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll go with you to have a look." ”

In this way, under the leadership of the old man and Hua Fan, they went deep into the island.

Xun He and the old man walked in the front, chatting slowly while walking, Zishang grabbed Hua Fan and asked, "Brother Hua, we didn't think about it when we came, we have something important to go to Dongyi Niuliu Mountain in three months, how long will it take to return to the Huhu Clam tribe from here?"

Hua Fan thought for a moment and said, "It's more than 20 days! Just go straight west from here." ”

Knowing that it would take less than a month to return to the Clam Tribe, Zishang and the Baili brothers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After reassuring, Zishang remembered what Hua Fan had talked to the old man before, so he pestered him to ask questions, and Hua Fan also answered some questions that were not too confidential.

This old man with a childish face and crane hair is called "Cangwu Venerable", he is more than two hundred years old, and his strength is at the peak of refining gods!

However, Hua Fan paused for a moment when talking about his strength, so Zishang guessed that Venerable Cangwu's true strength might have reached the half-step saint!

This sea mountain area is 400 miles in circumference, called Qu Mountain, and there are two ancient ruins in the mountain.

One is the Taohuashan ruins that can be traced back tens of thousands of years, and the other is the Erjian ruins where they are going.

The second stream is the ground mark stream and the peach blossom stream, the peach blossom stream is the largest, and the ground mark stream and the peach blossom stream have a slight deviation, so it can be regarded as a self-contained stream.

There is also an ancient petroglyph in the Erjian site, which was created by the ancient Dongyi Goumang tribe about 4,000 years ago, and is known as the "Book of Heaven".

Although the pictures of the Book of Heaven are simple, they contain the crystallization of the wisdom of the Dongyi ancestors' perception of heaven and earth, which is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the uncle who painted the Fan brothers and sisters.

His name is very "magical", called "painting", and he is two years younger than Huafan. Different from the elegant and noble temperament of the painting family, the painting is very ruffian, and the whole flower is a big wonder.

But there is one thing about him that is absolutely against the sky, as his name is, painting!

His talent for painting is peerless, he emerged at the age of four, and at the age of six his painting level surpassed the strongest in the family, and at the age of seven he was taken to Qishan by his father to study the "Book of Heaven" left by the Goumang tribe.

With his talent for painting, while comprehending, the soul realm "rapidly" improved, at the age of twenty-one, the standard realm only had the first level of qi refining, but the soul realm had already reached the fifth level, that is, the second level of the will realm.

After about a stick of incense, they came to the ruins of Erjian, which is different from the dilapidated, barren, ancient and desolate ruins in the imagination, the scenery here is quite beautiful, the stone walls are steep, the hanging spring waterfall, the dense forest along the stream, the bamboo and the cui, the wild flowers and idle grass all over the mountain, just like a fairyland in a painting.

After a little more twisting and turning, they finally saw the so-called ruins behind a bamboo forest and shrubs.

It is a thirty acres of open space on the edge of the cliff, leaning on a black boulder four zhang high and fifteen zhang long, the petroglyph lines on it are wide and shallow, rough and straight, and the style is primitive, which should be made by chiseling and grinding with stone tools.

The petroglyphs on the boulder are divided into three groups: the one on the right is carved with human faces, animal faces and seedling patterns, as well as nine strange symbols;

The middle part of the petroglyph is a banded nebula pattern, which is divided into four segments with short lines, which may represent four regions, the upper left corner of the nebula pattern is engraved with a wide animal face, and below the pattern is the skull pattern of various animals, the eyes, nose, mouth, and teeth can still be recognized, and there are 3 sun patterns on the upper right side;

On the left side of the petroglyph, there are also four human faces, which are represented by short lines and dots, and two of them have feather-like ornaments carved on their heads, and there are many dots and strange symbols between the human faces.

In front of the petroglyphs, there is a desk, a young man dressed as a scholar is painting with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and there is a person-high painting paper on both sides of the desk, one side is used up, and the other is new.

Seeing the young man Huafan shouting softly: "Uncle!"
