BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 - Seventy-Four: Ancient Relics
000…
The rooster began to crow.
Feng Qing’an, who had taught the girl Nange all night, was still worried about how to arrange the girl during the day. However, he didn’t expect that Nange, who had been writing her name all night, suddenly raised her head and said to him:
“Feng Qing’an, I can’t stay here any longer, I should go back, I’ll come to find you tomorrow!”
Feng Qing’an paused for a moment, looked at the vague dim light outside the window, then nodded,
“Okay!”
Although a night has passed and he has not yet formed a contract, he can clearly feel that his relationship with the girl has become closer.
He estimated it wouldn’t be long before he could propose the contract, which has a certain degree of coercion.
In the process of forming a contract, the one being contracted can sense this. Any resistance will make the contract’s difficulty line soar. If they cooperate, it would be a reenactment of his contract with Black Mountain—everything falling into place.
Seeing Feng Qing’an nodding his head in agreement, the girl Nange seemed somewhat reluctant to leave, but she was already feeling the powerful Yang energy that was about to sweep through the world, and she was not suitable to stay here.
She clearly remembers that a long time ago, she once followed her sister to the human world. But at that time, even with her sister, she could only watch everything from afar.
She remembers her sister’s advice to her: not to linger in the human realm when the sun rises.
The young girl lifted her foot and stepped into the empty air, to the surprise of Feng Qing’an, she flew out of the window, left his room, and then flew straight out of the courtyard, disappearing in the night approaching dawn.
Feng Qing’an watched the girl leave, exhaled deeply, and expressed a look of loss. While being a teacher is not easy, Nange is so clever that she can almost learn everything at once.
Feng Qing’an felt that his knowledge would soon be exhausted, and he might face a situation where there was nothing left to teach.
But these troubles could wait till later, he didn’t plan to be a teacher forever, it was just a way to get closer to Nange.
“I’ll take a nap!”
Feng Qing’an, who had been busy all night, laid on the bed. But after dozing for a while. Feng Oinz’an suddenlv 0Dened his eves, he realized that he had forgotten something,
“Black Mountain! ”
The crevices in the ghost realm only appear at special times, so the girl had hurried back.
If Black Mountain cannot return within the scheduled time, unless it can find a special exit that exists for a long time, it can only stay in the ghost realm for a
day before it can return.
“What exactly is the Ghost Realm situation?”
This was a question he should have explored last night, but being focused on the girl, he didn’t have the time to worry about Black Mountain. The strength of Black Mountain shouldn’t be weak regardless of where it is, it makes no sense that as soon as he enters the ghost realm, he could be destroyed, especially with its godly skill specifically designed to restrict ghosts and entities.
“Black Mountain! ”
When Feng Qing’an employs the projection technique, uses the Soul Contract as a channel, and projects consciousness onto Black Mountain, he immediately feels a full resentment and confusion.
“What happened to you?”
Woof-
Black Mountain let out a sound of grieving cry, and Feng Qing’an quickly understood.
Hungry!
Black Mountain entered the ghost realm and searched for a night, but didn’t encounter a single ghost. The situation it encountered was completely different from the information it obtained from its bloodline inheritance, it felt deceived.
Of course, more importantly, usually at this time, Feng Qing’an’s will would accompany it, but last night, Feng Qing’an withdrew his consciousness early. It was alone, wandering in the vast ghost realm, tired in body and heart, so its resentment was full at this moment.
“Why are there no ghosts in the Ghost Realm?”
Feng Qing’an was also very puzzled, and he shifted his attention from Black Mountain to everything it could see.
Then, Feng Qing’an saw a devastated world filled with a sense of desolation. There were pebbles and rubble everywhere, with no green plants and strangely-shaped rocks. Evil wind are howling, Yin wind is howling. In the distance, the mountains were endless, they were still lifeless and silent.
“Where did you go?”
What Black Mountain sees is completely different from the scene he saw when his soul left his body. Although the sky as he saw it last time was dark, he saw a thriving earth, not as desolate as it is now.
Woof-
Black Mountain let out a deep growl, it could tell that this place is the Ghost
Realm, but while it fits the description it got from its inheritance, the Ghost Realm was lacking the ghosts, spectral souls and Yin beasts that should be everywhere.
“If this is the Ghost Realm, then what was the forest I saw the last time?”
Feng Qing’an was suddenly surprised. In front of him was only a deserted plain, and mountains in the distance. Let alone ghosts, not even a ghostly shadow was seen. As for the lush vegetation he saw the last time, he couldn’t even see a blade of grass now.
Woof-
Hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, Black Mountain let out a questioning whimper. What forest? When it entered, the scene it saw was no different from what he was seeing now.
“You didn’t see a forest?”
Feng Qing’an’s expression became serious.
Woof-
Black Mountain whined, it honestly didn’t see a forest, but it found a spring, it felt a terrible danger lurking in the spring water, so it didn’t touch it and went on a detour.
“Soul Cleansing Spring!”
Feng Qing’an reacted immediately, but he was still confused. The spring existed, so where did the forest that had once hindered him and bothered him for a long time go? Could it be that he saw an illusion?
Of course, these are minor matters to him now. As long as the innate Yin spirit
Nange really exists, it’s enough. Conversely, the strange thing was Black Mountain – it entered the Ghost Realm, but couldn’t find any ghosts, which was really strange.
“Black Mountain, since you can’t find it, then first…”
Feng Qing’an intended to ask Black Mountain to come back first, but through Black Mountain’s perspective, he suddenly noticed something amiss about the profile of the distant mountains,
“What is that?”
What Feng Qing’an saw was also what Black Mountain saw, so without further instructions from Feng Qing’an, Black Mountain started running towards the unusual place with the wind rushing past it.
As the distance approached, the contour of the mountains became clearer and the abnormality became more obvious.
It was a magnificent building constructed on the top of a steep mountain, but it had already collapsed.
“Black Mountain, run a bit faster!”
The meaning symbolized by the ruins has awakened Feng Qing’an from sleep, and the idea of having Black Mountain return disappeared. After all, without even seeing any ghosts, there was nothing to worry about.
However, as Black Mountain approached the mountains, Feng Qing’an suddenly discovered that in these desolate and lifeless mountains, collapsed buildings and man-made traces were everywhere.
But the towering mountains, rugged cliffs, and dangerous and spectacular terrain all proved that the buildings above were built by a force superior to the mundane. But this force had been destroyed by a more terrifying force..
