Shenzhou, Mount Taixu
At this moment, Fu Hua looked a little dusty because of the days of rushing on the road, but she was not the type to dwell on this aspect.
"I haven't been back here for a long time."
After entering the territory of Mount Taixu, Fu Hua looked up at the towering Mount Taixu and couldn't help but miss the past days.
Thinking carefully, since making that deal with Otto, she haven't been back for decades.
Fu Hua had spent thousands of years on this mountain. She walked along the rugged mountain road that was familiar to ordinary people.
The Clouded Monastery where Fu Hua once lived was located at the top of Mount Taixu.
Ordinary people wanting to reach it would probably take at least a morning to get there.
But for Fu Hua, even in her current half-crippled state, half an hour would be enough.
"Chichichichi."
Walking on the mountain road, Fu Hua stopped when she heard a familiar voice.
She looked towards where the voice came from.
A group of white... chickens with red hair rushed towards her.
"...Are they Nian Beast?!"
Subconsciously catching them, Fu Hua looked at the little balls rubbing against her affectionately, revealing a somewhat surprised expression.
The huge Mount Taixu naturally has all kinds of wild animals.
And the one in her hand at the moment was a unique animal in Mount Taixu — the Nian Beast.
"I didn't expect that after this... after so many years, the Nian Beast actually appeared again."
Touching the feathers of the Nian Beast and looking at the humanized and comfortable expression of the chicken in her hand, Fu Hua couldn't help but sigh.
After the accident, she couldn't see any trace of these chickens.
Fu Hua thought that these Nian Beast had all disappeared or moved to other places.
Unexpectedly, they appeared again after so many years.
"You guys came back with me to take a look."
Fu Hua smiled and touched the little head of the Nian Beast.
After hundreds of years, the Nian Beast in the past obviously didn't live long.
These chickens in front of her were probably the descendants of those Nian Beast in the past.
With mixed feelings, Fu Hua revisited the old place. She stepped on the stone tablet and entered the place where Clouded Monastery used to be.
The dilapidated ancient buildings came into view, and the waterfall like a silk thread poured down from the high cliff.
The sound of water, wind, and animals—everything was familiar to Fu Hua.
"Chijijijiji."
The sound of Nian Beasts became more frequent.
The few Nian Beasts that were originally few in number were now densely packed.
"You... regard this place as your home?"
Looking at the red Nian Beasts happily playing in the ruins of the Clouded Monastery, Fu Hua curled her lips.
It turned out that during her absence, Have these red chickens occupied Clouded Monastery?
However... it's not a big deal.
This place is empty anyway.
It's a good thing to be able to put it to use.
After figuring it out, Fu Hua didn't care too much and walked straight into the monastery.
She had only one purpose for this trip.
That was to awaken the Book of Fuxi!
Then, the question is,
Where is the Book of Fuxi?!
Fu Hua tried to go to the main hall first.
It had become a ruin due to years of wear and tear, with only some broken walls and remains left.
Nothing was found.
Bedroom
Nothing was found.
Side hall
Nothing was found.
"Click."
Fu Hua lifted the heavy cellar lid with one hand.
Once, when winter was approaching, she would pickle a lot of Chunbulao and store it in it.
Now, there were still a few jars of Chunbulao in it.
However, perhaps because it had been too long,
These Chunbulao were obviously inedible.
"Not here either..."
Fu Hua sighed when she found no trace of Book of Fuxi in the cellar, thinking depressedly: "Where did I put Book of Fuxi?"
Sitting on the stone table and bench, Fu Hua propped up her cheek and looked at the big tree where she used to practice boxing under it in a trance.
After such a long time, the tree that accompanied her for hundreds of years had died...
Wait!?
Some fragments suddenly emerged in Fu Hua's mind.
Fragments about when she buried the Book of Fuxi.
At that time, it seemed that she had buried the Book of Fuxi under this tree?
Rmembering this, Fu Hua stood up directly. She tried to hug the tree. Then, she adjusted her posture. The ground cracked instantly, and the tree was pulled up by the force exerted by Fu Hua.
"Chichichichichichichi."
The Nian Beasts were frightened by the noise and fled everywhere.
Fu Hua put the dead tree she pulled out on the ground.
"Bang."
The dull sound shook the earth twice.
Fu Hua patted her dusty hands and looked at the original position of the dead tree.
There was already a big pit there.
The pit was covered with scattered soil.
And, you could vaguely see the corner of the box with a metallic luster.
Fu Hua dragged the box out of the soil and put it on the stone table beside it.
This box that could resist the corrosion of the earth was naturally not an ordinary thing.
It was a storage box passed down from the previous era and was specially used to store items.
The unlocking method was a password.
Hmm... password?
Fu Hua frowned, realizing that things were not simple.
What was the password that I set?
...Forget it, I don't remember it.
Not wanting to bother with this, Fu Hua casually took out Edge of Taixu Grip and put it on her hand.
"Bang."
With one punch, the box's protection system was instantly smashed.
And the little figure lying inside, with eyes closed as if sleeping, also came into Fu Hua's eyes.
When she saw Book of Fuxi, her heart trembled slightly.
Although she had never felt anything real, but when she saw the Book of Fuxi again with her own eyes,
Everything related to it came to her mind.
"...."
She wiped her hands covered with mud with her clothes, and after they were clean, Fu Hua tremblingly reached out and touched the little face of the Book of Fuxi.
She took out the inferior energy bead that she had been carrying close to her body from her pocket and carefully placed the energy bead on the chest of the Book of Fuxi.
There was no need to put it in the energy supply area. The biggest advantage of this energy bead was that as long as it was a mechanical creation that needed energy, it could be powered by putting it anywhere.
The energy bead flashed twice when it touched the Book of Fuxi, and then melted into the body of the Book of Fuxi like water.
In Fu Hua's expectant eyes, the Book of Fuxi, which regained its power, slowly opened its eyes.
When she saw Fu Hua, she was stunned.
"...Jingwei?"
Although there were many changes from the past, the Book of Fuxi still recognized Fu Hua at a glance.
Floating from the ground, Book of Fuxi stretched lazily, yawned, and muttered softly.
"I always felt like I slept for a long time..."
"...Yes, it's really been a long time."
Recalling the past memory fragments, Fu Hua whispered.
Unconsciously, so much time had passed.
"Well, you took good care of me when I was away..."
Book of Fuxi circled Fu Hua, trying to say something, but after noticing something,
Instantly showed a horrified expression and lost her voice.
"Oh my god?! What's wrong with you, you blockhead?!"
