Chapter 42: The Emperor's Tomb
"Ah~ There really is a sycamore forest!" Gu Feng and Tianjiao both opened their mouths wide, looking at the scene in front of them, and their hearts were shocked.
The monkey was also stunned, with sadness and excitement in his eyes.
"These plane trees are so huge, they must have grown for at least 10 million years!" Tianjiao sighed.
"Didn't you say that this forbidden area was dangerous?, why did we all go all the way so calmly, and found the Sycamore Forest so smoothly?!" Gu Feng said with disdain on his face.
"Hey, yes, don't you say I haven't noticed it, the forbidden area is too calm today, we didn't even encounter danger! But there must be demons when things go wrong, maybe there is even more danger hidden ahead!"
"It's obviously that you're cowardly!" Gu Feng said disdainfully, and then he walked towards the sycamore forest.
"Stinky boy, who do you say are cowardly, believe it or not, I slapped you to death!" Tianjiao shouted angrily.
He was about to follow, when he found the monkey standing still, his body trembling slightly, his eyes shining golden, and his face excited.
"Brother Ape, what's wrong with you?" asked Tianjiao as he walked up to the monkey.
"No, nothing, let's go quickly!" the monkey reacted and walked towards the sycamore forest.
Tianjiao was confused, scratched his head, and followed.
The sycamore forest is so big that the sycamore trees give people a sense of oppression, as if a huge mountain hangs over their heads. But this pressure did not bring any obstacles to the ancient style, it was just a kind of psychological pressure, which made people dare not do anything out of the ordinary.
"It's so hot, these plane trees seem to be on fire!" Gu Feng complained. Here he has a real physical body, and the realm is the lowest, and he is the most sensitive to temperature.
"This is the result of being infected by the fire element for a long time, they have mutated and are close to the fire path, which means that there are creatures who are good at the fire path that have lived here for a long time, and the Phoenix Wujian you are looking for is from the Tianhuang clan, maybe he is here!" Tianjiao analyzed.
"That's right, he's here, let's go!" the monkey affirmed, and then he rushed deeper into the sycamores.
"Brother Ape, how can you be sure?" Tianjiao asked.
But the monkey ignored him and quickly shuttled through the woods.
Tianjiao followed closely behind, ahead of the front.
"Hey, you wait for me, can't you fly if you bully me?" Gu Feng shouted, desperately chasing after him.
They were very fast, and half an hour later they were in a clearing.
The clearing, which was about ten zhang wide, was bare, and there were no plants, stones, or anything else. It's just that in the center of the clearing, there is a half-human-high earthen bag, and in front of the earthen bag there is a stone tablet with several words on it, which reads "The Tomb of Phoenix Wuji".
This is a small mound.
"It's ......" the monkey froze in place, his face full of disbelief.
He ran quickly to the grave and fell to his knees as soon as his knees went limp. He stroked the stele, his whole body trembling.
"Emperor, this is impossible, how can you die! You have participated in the creation of the world, how can you die in such a place!" the monkey said and burst into tears.
His head slammed to the ground, his throat screamed, and tears flowed to the ground and into the dirt. He was obviously a soul body, but he shed tears, which was incredible.
Tianjiao watched this scene, dumbfounded, completely unaware of what was happening.
Gu Feng had just arrived, and he looked at the monkey and was also at a loss. He had never seen a monkey show such a face. When he first met the monkey, the monkey was domineering and powerful, and later the monkey taught him to cultivate, and he did not regard himself as a master, but like a friend. At this time, the monkey's performance made him feel that things were not good.
"Monkey, what's going on?" Gu Feng asked eagerly, running over.
"Brother Ape, mourn!" Tianjiao saw something and comforted softly.
The monkey did not respond, still burying its head on the ground, stalking, and hoarse.
Gu Feng wanted to pull him up, but was stopped by Tianjiao.
"Let him cry, just cry!" Tianjiao sighed.
"Do you know what's going on?" asked Gu Feng.
"I don't know, but I think it's better not to disturb him!" Tianjiao turned and walked to the side.
Gu Feng looked at the back of the monkey, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't pull him, and turned around and walked aside.
They sat under a plane tree and waited quietly, waiting for the monkey to recover. But after a few hours, the monkey was still like that, except that he was not in the stalk, but he still knelt still, and his expression was sluggish.
Gollum~
Gu Feng touched his stomach, pursed his lips, took out a roasted beast from the stone box, and began to feast on it.
"Do you want to eat?" Gu Feng handed a fierce beast leg to Tianjiao, and said vaguely.
"Stinky boy, are you heartless, Brother Ape is like this, you still have something to eat!" Tianjiao said with a glare.
"Yes, he's like this, if I don't eat and drink enough and stay in the best condition, how can I take care of him!" Gu Feng said disdainfully, and then continued to nibble on his barbecue.
"It's obviously ridiculous, why do I think it makes sense!" Tianjiao looked at Gu Feng in surprise.
"Speechless!" Qualifier quipped.
"......" Tianjiao was speechless for a while, and could only stare dryly.
And Gu Feng didn't pay attention to him anymore, concentrating on his barbecue.
But at this moment, the monkey moved, and he slowly stood up, looking sluggish, and stayed where he was for a while, then turned around and walked towards Gu Feng and Tianjiao.
"Brother Ape, are you alright?" Tianjiao asked with concern.
"I'm fine!" replied the monkey in a low voice, and then he looked at Gu Feng and sat down as well.
"Do you eat meat?" asked Gu Feng.
The monkey shook his head and did not speak.
"I lost my relatives when I was very young, and they were killed by the desolate people......" the monkey suddenly spoke, talking about his past, which the ancient wind did not know.
Gu Feng and Tianjiao didn't react much, they just listened intently. Gu Feng was even nibbling on his barbecue.
"My people were sparsely populated, and the rest of my people were on the battlefield at that time, and there was no one to take care of me, so I was forced to wander, but in that dark age, my survival was greatly threatened.
Later, I met the Emperor, that is, Huang Wuji, he was the Emperor of the Tianhuang clan, I was taken in by him, and I have been by his side ever since. He taught me to practice, taught me the Tao, and raised me to adulthood.
I followed the emperor to fight in all directions, and his supreme heroism across the world was deeply imprinted in my heart. The Great Emperor is a supreme monument to me, and he is the goal of my life. In order to catch up with him, in order to be able to follow him all the time, and fight on the battlefield with him, I practiced hard, and finally became the number one general under his command.
But not long after, in a battle with the Desolate Clan, we were outnumbered, and the Emperor was pinned down by the supreme power of the Desolate Clan, while I and other comrades were besieged and finally died.
In the midst of the melee, my remnant soul hid in the spatial stone box that I carried with me, so that it was not included in this spirit realm by the desolate clan. I don't know what happened next, and I don't know how the Emperor died in battle.
It wasn't until I entered the Demon Abyss that I knew that the Great Emperor was dead, and that his soul was sealed in the spirit world by the Desolate Clan, but I knew that the Great Emperor's soul was not destroyed, so I came here with hope and wanted to reunite with the Great Emperor.
But I didn't expect that when I came here, the emperor was no longer there, leaving only a tomb. I want to be the emperor who crisscrossed the world, killed the strong of the desolate tribe, saved the lives of all the tribes from fire and water, and was worshiped by all souls.
His whole life was dedicated to the Wan Clan, and in order to protect the Wan Clan, he shed his last drop of blood and fought with the Desolate Clan, but in the end he fell to such a point, and was buried in this filthy earth after his death, leaving only an inconspicuous little dirt bag!"
The monkey had already gritted his teeth at the end, and tears flowed again.
"It turns out that he is the Phoenix Emperor who protects all races until death!" Tianjiao sighed, and sadness was also born in his heart.
Although he has not seen the Phoenix Emperor, but he has heard of the legend of the Phoenix Emperor cutting the wilderness clan and protecting all souls, and the Phoenix Emperor is also one of the emperors he respects and admires the most.
However, Gu Feng is quite calm, although he also respects this Emperor Huang who has never met, but he has not experienced that dark history, and his feelings for Emperor Huang are only respectful.
