Chapter 314 Painting
After Ran Youran finished reading the records left by Ran Miaolin, she turned to look at Mu Xiaofeng and said, "I originally thought that this was a relic left by my ancestors, but I didn't expect that my ancestors were just a passerby. I thought this was my chance, but I didn't expect that you are my chance."
What Ran Youran meant was that the skills here belonged to her alone. It was not because of her, Ran Youran, that she could come here, but because of Mu Xiaofeng.
"Let's record the skills here." Mu Xiaofeng naturally understood what Ran Youran meant, but Mu Xiaofeng would not take this place for himself.
Ran Youran nodded to show her agreement, and did not mention again that she could not teach others.
The two came to another stone wall. Mu Xiaofeng looked at the words on the stone wall. Mu Xiaofeng felt very novel. This was not like the current words in the Starry Sky Realm.
"Is this the ancient writing of the universe?" Mu Xiaofeng asked curiously.
Ran Youran shook her head and said, "It doesn't look like that. I've seen ancient characters from the Xingyu Realm, and they don't look like this."
Mu Xiaofeng had no idea for a moment. Normally, he could understand the meaning of ordinary texts by just scanning them with his spiritual sense. However, when his spiritual sense scanned the text above, what his eyes saw was what his spiritual sense scanned.
"Forget it, just copy down the words above." Mu Xiaofeng said.
"That's fine." Ran Youran nodded, indicating that she agreed with Mu Xiaofeng's statement.
After saying that, he took out a jade slip and used his spiritual sense to copy on it exactly what he saw.
Unexpectedly, the jade slip shattered immediately after just copying a stroke.
Ran Youran held a handful of fragments in her hand and looked at Mu Xiaofeng and said, "This jade slip cannot bear it."
Mu Xiaofeng also saw this scene and asked, "Could it be that I can only comprehend this here by myself?"
After Mu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he also took out a top-quality jade slip and began to copy it. However, the situation was the same. The moment the last word was completed, the jade slip in his hand shattered.
"The fact that the jade slip cannot bear this kind of text is enough to prove the value of this text. How did your ancestors take it out? Did they really gain insights here and then just take their insights out?" Mu Xiaofeng expressed his thoughts.
Ran Youran pondered for a moment and then replied, "It's possible. The jade slip can carry a lot of text. Logically, as long as it's from the world of cultivation, there's nothing it can't carry. Could it be that this is text from the world of immortals?"
“Then let’s try to comprehend it first.” Mu Xiaofeng suggested.
"It seems that this is the only way for now."
As they talked, the two of them sat down cross-legged under the stone wall.
As the two began to comprehend the words on the stone wall, Mu Xiaofeng always felt like something was calling him.
Mu Xiaofeng opened his eyes and looked at the stone wall in front of him. There was no change. Ran Youran seemed to have fallen into enlightenment, with an inexplicable aura flowing through her body.
Mu Xiaofeng closed his eyes again, and that feeling of calling came again.
Mu Xiaofeng looked up at the surroundings, and there was nothing unusual. After a quick glance, he felt that the painting was the one that caught his attention the most, so he turned his gaze back to the painting.
The painting showed a mountain with a waterfall flowing down it, which was very impressive. However, under the waterfall was a deep pool, on which there was a small boat, and on which there was a man wearing a bamboo hat paddling the boat.
Mu Xiaofeng always felt that something was wrong with this painting. After looking at it for a while, he finally realized it. The surface of the small pond was too calm, which formed a sharp contrast with the rushing waterfall. Although the painting was motionless, the waterfall looked magnificent, but the surface of the small pond was not rippled at all. The two scenes were completely different, which made Mu Xiaofeng feel that something was wrong.
At this time, Mu Xiaofeng found a line of small characters in the upper right corner, but he couldn't see what was written on it. So Mu Xiaofeng used his spiritual sense to scan it, but there was no word in his spiritual sense.
The next moment, Mu Xiaofeng's eyes went dark, and his consciousness seemed to be disconnected, but this feeling only lasted for a moment. When his perception came back again, Mu Xiaofeng heard the sound of rumbling water. He raised his head and saw a middle-aged man in front of him.
Mu Xiaofeng instantly became alert, and with his spiritual sense he scanned the surroundings, feeling very familiar with them. But he also realized in an instant, isn't this in that painting?
Mu Xiaofeng looked at the man in front of him. There was no aura coming from him, nor did he make Mu Xiaofeng feel any pressure.
There are only two possibilities. One is that this person is a mortal and poses no threat to Mu Xiaofeng. The other is that this person's cultivation has reached a level that Mu Xiaofeng cannot reach. If it is the first one, it is nothing. But if it is the second one, Mu Xiaofeng can hardly imagine the cultivation level of this person in front of him. His own cultivation level is almost at the top of the cultivation world. If even he can't feel it, and think about the words on the stone wall just now, then the cultivation level of this person in front of him can only be......
The man looked at Mu Xiaofeng kindly and said, "Don't overthink it, little brother. This is just a world in a painting. I am just a remnant soul living in the painting. I have been lingering here just to find a chance."
Thinking that this person's cultivation level had far surpassed his own, Mu Xiaofeng let down his guard. It was useless to be vigilant, so why bother being vigilant?
"I wonder what the matter is with you, senior? But first of all, let me make it clear that my cultivation is low, so please don't have too much hope in me." After hearing what this person said, Mu Xiaofeng knew that he had something to ask him, so he said it directly.
Unexpectedly, the man chuckled and said, "Everything in the world has its destiny. The fact that you can come here today shows that you and I are destined to be together. Success or failure is a destiny, but the fact that you and I met here today has already happened."
"Senior is quite open-minded, but it's better this way." Mu Xiaofeng said softly.
"Haha, I never thought that you are such a free and easy person. But my name is Su Nanzhu, you don't have to call me senior, just call me by my name." Su Nanzhu said.
"Hey, how dare I?" Mu Xiaofeng replied.
"Haha, my name is Su Nanzhu, why don't you dare call me Su Nanzhu?" Su Nanzhu replied seriously.
This made Mu Xiaofeng look up to him. In the Fangyan cultivation world, which cultivator with high cultivation level would have such a broad mind when facing a cultivator with low cultivation level? He didn't expect that the person in front of him was already an immortal. It was rare for him to have such a broad mind when facing a cultivator from the lower realm.
"Haha, then I'll call you Brother Su. Calling him by his name would make me seem impolite." Mu Xiaofeng replied. After all, since he looked older than him and had higher cultivation than him, it wouldn't be a disadvantage for him to call him brother.
