Master Xiantu

Chapter 95 The Call of the Ancients

The sheepskin map is one foot square. It is estimated to be some years old and has some wear and tear on the edges.

It was painted with mountains, rivers, and many signs that Qiji couldn't understand. He didn't know how Huo Qihai determined that this was a ruins.

Qi Ji didn't take it to heart at first, but when Huo Qihai showed Qi Ji the map, the map was facing Huo Qihai, and from Qi Ji's point of view, it happened to be facing him.

The mountains and rivers seemed to form a human face. Qi Ji was immediately startled and hurriedly asked Huo Qihai: "President Huo, can you lend me the map?"

Huo Qihai readily handed the map to Qi Ji.

Taking the map, Qi Ji turned the map to the front. It was indeed an ordinary map. But when Qi Ji turned the map again, this time he not only saw portraits, but also saw them clearly.

The white space between the mountains and rivers clearly forms a beautiful female statue, and if you look closely, you can see that the upper body of this beautiful woman is a human body and the lower body is a snake body.

Nuwa!

An ancient name came to Qi Ji's mind.

When Taixuanzong received the inheritance, what came to Qi Ji's mind was the image of Pangu. At this time, the map Huo Qihai brought was actually related to the ancient goddess Nuwa. Could it be that the ruins were the remains of Nuwa?
After this idea arose in Qi Ji's mind, Qi Ji felt an urge to go to the ruins immediately.

"What's wrong with Master Qi?" Huo Qihai asked with concern, seeing that something was wrong with Qi Ji's face when he saw the sheepskin map.

Qi Ji returned the map to Huo Qihai: "President Huo, turn the map over and see what it looks like?"

Huo Qihai did as he was told, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything interesting: "It's still a map. What does it look like?"

"Is it possible that he is the only one who can see it?" Qi Ji was confused for a moment, and quickly took the map from Huo Qihai's hand and drew it along the white lines for him to see: "Could it be that President Huo didn't see the blank space on this map?" Does she look like a beautiful woman with the body of a snake and the tail of a snake?"

After Jing Qiji pointed out this, Huo Qihai actually let out an exclamation: "Don't tell me, Jing's painting really looks like a woman with a human body and a snake's tail."

Shopkeeper Cao also came over after hearing this, and Huo Qihai showed him the painting Qi Ji said.

Cao Shi clicked his tongue and said in surprise: "The person who drew this map is really a master, and we didn't find it for so long. But how can there be people with human bodies and snake tails in this world? I have never heard of it even among the demon clan."

Qi Ji was shocked when he heard what Shopkeeper Cao said. He wanted to ask him if he had never heard of the legend of Nuwa Empress?

But I was afraid of exposing Taikoo's secrets when I asked, so I had to change the question in a tactful way: "Hasn't Shopkeeper Cao ever heard of the legendary god with a human body and a snake's tail?"

Shopkeeper Cao and Huo Qihai still looked at Qi Ji with blank faces.

Only then did Qi Ji realize that people in this world had completely blank memories of the ancient times, and they didn't even know the legends.

Thinking of the clues obtained from the game's plot, perhaps the gods and demons of Yuwai used some special means to erase everyone's memories of this ancient period.

Qi Ji's face was as dark as water and he did not dare to say another word.

"Is there something wrong with this map, Master Qi?" Huo Qihai asked nervously when he saw Qi Ji's ugly face.

Qi Ji took a breath and said, "No, it's just that I suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion towards this ruin in my heart, as if there was some kind of call from somewhere urging me to go there quickly."

When Huo Qihai heard this, he immediately made the decision: "In that case, I will mobilize the Taishi Feizhou, and we will set off in three days." Qi Ji did not expect that Huo Qihai would attach so much importance to his words. He just said it casually and he immediately took action.

"There are many dangers in the ruins. I'm afraid we won't be fully prepared in three days." Shopkeeper Cao said worriedly.

Qi Ji also quickly advised: "Yes, President Huo, he always decides to set off, there is no need to rush."

"Just prepare for a few more days. We will send the medicinal materials over in seven days and we will set off together then?" Huo Qihai asked Qi Ji for confirmation.

"That's very good." Qi Ji replied.

Due to Qi Ji's words, Huo Qihai, who had not originally planned to visit the ruins in the near future, made this his top priority in the near future, so after discussing all matters with Qi Ji, he went back with his children and shopkeeper Cao.

Qi Ji also needed to make some preparations for visiting the ruins. As soon as Huo Qihai and others left, Qi Ji told Elder Wang and others and went into seclusion.

I don't know how much time it will take to visit the ruins. In order to avoid the shortage of grass and wood essence due to my absence, Qiji began to focus on refining the grass and wood essence.

For seven days in a row, Qiji was refining the essence of grass and trees. Until Huo Qihai came to Taixuanzong again, he had not yet left seclusion. Elder Wang had no choice but to go and knock on his room in person.

He gave five jars of the refined plant essence to Elder Wang and asked him to make good use of it. He collected the remaining two jars himself, and then hurried to see Huo Qihai.

"I'm sorry that I forgot the time in retreat and kept Huo Hui waiting for so long." Qi Ji hurriedly began to apologize as soon as he saw Huo Qihai.

"We haven't waited long, Master Qi, there is no need to be so polite." Huo Qihai smiled and said, "Is Master Qi ready? If so, we will set off."

Qi Ji had nothing to bring with him. Two altars of grass and tree essence were enough, so he nodded and said, "Let's set off."

When they arrived at the sect's main hall, they saw two Taishi flying boats, one big and one small. The big one was unloading various medicinal materials and wine.

Qi Ji felt that the ordinary wine needed to blend the spirit wine could not be provided by 36 Peak. This time he discussed cooperation with Huo Qihai and also ordered some ordinary wine from him.

This was just a trivial matter to Huo Qihai, so he naturally agreed to Qi Ji.

When passing by the big ship, I saw Shopkeeper Cao directing the unloading of goods. I said hello to him and turned back to Huo Qihai and said, "Won't Shopkeeper Cao come with us on this trip?"

"Shopkeeper Cao wants to help me handle business in Sifang City, so he won't be going on this trip," Huo Qihai replied.

Qi Ji then confessed to Elder Wang and Elder Tan, and then boarded the small flying boat next to him with Huo Qihai.

The small flying boat was less than one-tenth the size of the larger one. This small flying boat was probably specially used for traveling, so even if it could carry people, it could only carry 20 people at most.

At this time, there were already fifteen young men waiting on the flying boat. They were all dressed in black and well-dressed. Although they were not very old, the aura exuding from their bodies gave people a strong sense of oppression. It was obvious that they were all of high cultivation.

It was Taishi Feizhou again, and there were so many masters. Qi Ji somewhat understood why the eight major families were so eager to get the power in Huo Qihai's hands.

Compared with Huo Qihai's pomp and circumstance, it seemed too shabby to be alone.
