262: The romantic interest of the sages, the gray fragments of ancient weapons
Jiang Yi stepped forward, his expression calm, without the slightest hesitation.
Because he had the confidence.
Young Master Zheng, who was behind him, also didn't overthink it.
He cupped his hands and said—
"Then it would be disrespectful not to obey!"
After he finished speaking!
He also took a step, gritted his teeth, and his body subtly tensed.
He stepped inside.
He had originally planned to exert his full strength to withstand the suppression from this layer.
Even if he couldn't bear it!
In the end, even if he was forced back, he would maintain his composure.
Even if his bones shattered and flesh tore, he would grit his teeth and endure it, not making a sound!
But as soon as he stepped in—
He suddenly froze!
It seemed like nothing happened?!
Apparently, there was no sense of suppression at all?
It was very easy, feeling incredibly simple, excessively simple.
It was even weaker than the fifth layer!
What was going on?!
Young Master Zheng could clearly feel that as the suppressive force lessened.
The Qi in his body circulated faster!
The recovery speed of his injuries also greatly accelerated.
His mind inexplicably relaxed!
Was this the work of the Ancient Sage!
If it was set up this way, would there be some conspiracy?
Young Master Zheng pondered silently!
After all, that was an Ancient Sage, a prominent figure from over a hundred thousand years ago.
For Cultivators like them!
That was definitely a powerful existence that was difficult to fathom!
What they could do was to indirectly learn some things from ancient records and books with documented accounts.
But in reality, truly!
What were his actions, character, and virtues like?
Would they differ from what was recorded?
They knew nothing!
Just like the current situation, it was enough to leave them somewhat bewildered.
They didn't know what this Ancient Sage.
He ultimately wanted to do?
Could it be a trick?
"Let's observe first!"
Young Master Zheng couldn't help but sigh softly, since he was here, he would make the best of it.
For now, he would observe this layer!
Here!
There were also many ancient steles, neatly arranged, standing in rows.
In terms of quantity, compared to the fifth layer.
There were many more!
The difference was!
On each ancient stele here, there were densely inscribed ancient characters.
Jiang Yi didn't recognize them much before!
But after transcribing the contents of those two Great Dao Divine Abilities and Precious Techniques.
After some verification and understanding!
He could already vaguely understand some parts of them!
For example, the stone stele where he was currently standing!
It read—
The sky is clear, and the gentle breeze is pleasant.
My Dao Companion and I agreed to take a small boat together today and float on the West Lake.
My Dao Companion brewed tea with green plums, and played the zither.
Accompanying me.
I sat at the bow, took a section of green bamboo, a silkworm thread, and a purple-gold hook!
Fishing on the West Lake!
My luck was good, and I caught a Red Dragon Fish, which was boiled and lightly cooked, with a pinch of salt.
The taste was exceptionally delicious!
At night, with the bright moon overhead, we embraced and slept, whispering words of longing.
Not to waste this beautiful time and scenery!
The small boat gently swayed, ripples spreading, the subtle beauty within, difficult to describe... Above these lines of text!
There was also an engraving, clearly depicting a large lake, with a small boat swaying upon it.
On the boat were two figures, one playing the zither, the other fishing... There was a mysterious charm flowing!
It seemed to be carefree and at ease!
With a unique elegance!
Jiang Yi: "..."
He fell silent for a moment, were these all the things in this layer?
What did this Ancient Sage want to do?
Feed them dog food?
He reached out and touched the inscription on the stele, but nothing happened.
There were no Divine Abilities or Precious Techniques, nor ancient scriptures!
Perhaps, there was really nothing hidden, just as the inscription on the stele's surface stated.
This ancient stele was simply for storytelling!
He was somewhat unconvinced and walked to the next stone stele.
On this stone stele!
There were also engravings and text, truly combining illustrations and words.
The drawing depicted a peach forest!
A tall man, with a graceful figure, reached out to pluck a peach blossom.
In his arms, a graceful and tall woman was nestled!
With a hairpin on her head, and her black hair flowing!
It seemed!
The tall man seemed to be plucking a peach blossom to adorn the woman's hair.
The illustration was at the top, and the text below!
The text read several lines—
Peach blossoms on human faces are exceptionally red!
It was spring, and the Peach Blossom Spring opened, I heard of this and was quite surprised.
So I entered the Moon Palace, inviting my Dao Companion to come along!
Indeed!
Peach blossoms were everywhere, trees in full bloom, pink filling the fields, fragrance overflowing.
My Dao Companion, in a pink dress, complemented this scene perfectly!
We rubbed shoulders and walked forward in an embrace!
When we reached a certain spot, I felt something!
I reached out to the branch above my head, plucked a peach blossom, and tucked it behind my Dao Companion's ear.
Beautiful, very beautiful!
This scene and moment, truly a wonderful thing!
How could I not record it?
"Definitely not a proper person!"
"A proper person, who writes a diary!"
Jiang Yi muttered silently, and Young Master Zheng beside him was also stunned.
Somewhat puzzled, and somewhat lost!
He was wondering if he had come to the wrong place, where was the promised item more precious than Precious Techniques?
Is this it?!
Looking at this stone stele, there was nothing extraordinary, what were these engravings!
All about love and affection!
Apparently, they were all about the carefree stories between that Sage and his Dao Companion.
It was quite romantic!
It seemed that this Sage was a person of sentiment and taste, a love-struck fool!
Thinking this way!
The things recorded on the stone steles here seemed to become normal again!
For a Sage!
These interesting anecdotes were indeed more important!
However, he wasn't entirely sure, still maintaining a bit of doubt.
What if there were still good things hidden within!
If he overlooked them, that would be bad!
How about?
Look at a few more steles, skipping some?
Young Master Zheng thought for a moment, suppressing an inexplicable awkwardness that welled up in his heart.
He continued to walk down!
But looking at them, they were all—
Such as!
Walking in the Mortal world, coincidentally encountering Mortals getting married, and sharing a few cups of wedding wine.
Although the wine was cloudy, it had a unique flavor!
Taking revenge and punishing evil with satisfaction, acting as Yin and Yang Double Fiends.
Seeing injustice on the road, drawing their swords to help!
In a torrential downpour, coincidentally finding a dilapidated temple, like Mortals, lighting a bonfire!
Confiding in each other, and sleeping in each other's arms!
Young Master Zheng, for some reason, felt a hint of sourness.
As if someone was constantly showing off beside him!
Among them!
It wasn't without any Harvest (harvest/gain), he did catch a bit of information.
One entry was—
The two of them, on the shores of the East Sea, encountered a true Dragon descendant causing trouble.
So the two of them worked together to slay it!
They obtained a pair of Dragon horns, a Dragon sinew, a mass of true Dragon blood, and some scales...
And also!
The two of them journeyed together to explore a forbidden zone, almost meeting disaster.
However, their luck was good, and they retreated unscathed!
They also obtained a gray fragment, suspected to be from an ancient weapon.
But after some research, they still couldn't figure out what it was!
They could only put it away for now!
