Chapter 1 Out of the Mountain

The mountains in the Ten Directions ranged for more than ten thousand miles, like an eternal dragon lying across the border between Yue and Chu. Why is the mountains in the Ten Directions called the Ten Directions Mountain? It is troublesome to say. It is said that a group of soldiers who were responsible for exploration in the war between Chu and Yue entered the edge of the Ten Directions Mountain and found some traces left by the ancestors who escaped from the war and escaped into the mountains, but were buried one after another. Among them, there was a stone tablet with such a name. It is no longer verified who came from. Since people at that time, they were at the farthest place where the ancestors could reach, they named all the vast areas that were countless miles across the Ten Directions Mountain.

Another saying is that I don’t know how many years ago, some people wanted to enter the state of the mountains in the ten directions but couldn’t get the way. They lamented that this primitive jungle, which was unknown how wide it was, was full of dangers. Even if you had great skills, you could not get in. No matter which direction, you could only end up with a corpse. Whether it was southeast, west, north, north, north, north, right, or even time and space, there was nowhere for people to escape, which was for the ten directions. The ten directions that were forced out were probably boring literati to exaggerate the dangers of the mountains in the ten directions. The number of "ten" could originally refer to everything, all, which is much more comprehensive than the ten directions.

The place where the ruins of ancestors were discovered had gradually become a town with comprehensive defense measures as people continued to explore and excavate. It was the last place before most masters and strong men who wanted to enter the Shifang Mountains to explore and hunt, or desperate despairers entered the Shifang Mountains, and the place where they first traded and were unrestrained after leaving the mountains. That village is now called Shifang. Most people think that everything from Shifang Castle to the south is Shifang Mountains.

I don’t know how many treasures and rare birds and beasts are hidden in the mountains of Shifang, which attract countless people to yearn for it, and attract batches of people with various purposes. However, generally speaking, when entering Shifang Mountain, they are always enthusiastic, confident, and calculate various possible benefits. Here, after escaping countless monsters by chance, they are likely to get rare medicinal materials that grow in Shifang Mountain, or various materials taken from monsters. Many people have become rich overnight because of a successful adventure in Shifang Mountain, and even have examples of entering another class, entering the army and even the court.

Various productions in the Shifang Mountains have been identified, and there are more unknown plants and monster species waiting to be discovered. If you can bring back something that has never been seen before, you can usually sell for a higher price.

However, only a few people will always be able to enter the mountains of the Ten Directions and bring some harvest to life. Most people are always sad and embarrassed when leaving the mountains of the Ten Directions, always with heavy fatigue and anxiety.

So, two relaxed and pleasant figures of an old and a young man appeared in the jungle, which was really one of the most unusual things that could happen in this unusual place.

After climbing over Jinqing Mountain Pass, it is considered to have walked out of the Shifang Mountains. This is not the road for most people to enter and exit the Shifang Mountains, nor does it have facilities such as forts to prevent monsters from leaving the Shifang Mountains and invading the nearby mountain people. It is probably because after looking through Jinqing Mountain Pass, there is almost no monsters in the old forest. Why, no one knows, and no one really has the courage to figure it out. The feeling of gloomy, terrifying, quiet and desolate is not something that anyone can tolerate. The reason why this old and young chose this road to walk out of the Shifang Mountains was probably because there was almost no one here. Moreover, once you walked out of Jinqing Mountain Pass, you will be the border city of Anting, which is less than a hundred miles away.

The boy was dressed very ordinary, with long black hair tied behind his head casually with a hairband. A pair of aurasy eyes were embedded on his face, which made people easily feel good at it. The slightly curved corner of his mouth made the boy look naughty and stubborn. The middle-aged man wearing coarse cloth clothes always had a gentle smile and his eyes never left the boy for much time.

The young man's name is Cheng Bang. Although he is still young, he is a bit reluctant to call him a boy. It is more appropriate to say that he is a big child. It is an incredible thing to walk around the land of the mountains in Shifang. It is an incredible thing to see. Age is actually an insignificant thing for him. If someone outside knows that he grew up in the depths of the mountains in Shifang, he might be scared to his chin.

This was not the first time that the boy left the Shifang Mountains. The excitement and trembling mood that he used to have long disappeared. But that kind of joy and curiosity would not change at all. And this time, maybe he was a little nervous and confused, because this trip was entirely up to him, what he would do, how long he stayed outside, and when he would go back. Following the boy was Jiang Mei, a hometown general who watched the boy grow up and regarded as his uncle. Cheng Bang knew that unless he encountered some huge trouble, Jiang Mei would never disobey his decision and take him back to his home deep in the Shifang Mountains.

It was half a day since I left Jinqing Pass. When I looked back, I saw that the gradually set sun was stuck in a valley. The golden and orange sunlight still stubbornly penetrated the layers of old forests, and stubbornly projected a trace of nostalgic warmth on the boy's face.

Cheng Bang asked reluctantly: "Uncle Jiang, will we play outside for a long time this time?"

Looking at Chengbang gently, Jiang Mei smiled kindly and said, "I can't help but make your own decisions. Although the mountains are pure, it's not a big deal to stay there. My mistress said that she would let you come out for some experience, and she would have to look a little better to go back, right?"

"It will definitely happen!" Cheng Bang clenched his fists, his childish little face full of determination.

"Okay, Anting is coming soon. This time we mainly focus on experience and must not cause trouble. Also, experience is experience. You should keep your skills a little bit, don't let people touch it at once, that's not fun."

"I know, Uncle Jiang. Come on, I see Anting's city wall..." The young man laughed, and he jumped, and the height of the jump was several feet long. Judging from his relaxed and comfortable appearance, he knew that he had enough energy. With a handle on the branch, Chengbang stood steadily on a horizontal branch. He looked into the distance, and the wise eyes that belonged to the young man could indeed glimpse a corner of Anting dozens of miles away.

As the only city near the mountains of the Ten Directions, the prosperity of Anting is closely related to the mountains of the Ten Directions. Shifang Town is a fortress and fortress deep into the mountains of the Ten Directions, while Anting is a rear base rich enough to provide various needs. In Shifang Town, the communication between practitioners can only be called teamwork, and Anting is the place where the cultivators and related families, businesses, gangs, organizations, and even forces standing behind different organizations that occasionally show their strengths.

Chengbang and Jiang Mei didn't bring much money, but they had nothing to worry about. The package on Jiang Mei's back was filled with low-level demon cores and other materials, as well as a few herb plants that could be sold at a good price. This is what the mistress means. It is too eye-catching to carry around with good things and can easily cause trouble. Moreover, the mistress also hopes that Chengbang can have a way to support himself before spending all the money sold by these things.

Stores that purchase various materials are usually near the city gate. Jiang Mei has come to Anting many times and has familiar stores. She can easily sell the materials in her hands at the market price. With money in her pocket, Jiang Mei felt a little calm and followed the little master to sway casually in Anting, a not-so-small city.

When he arrived at the central square of Anting City, Chengbang saw a large group of people gathering together, not knowing what he was watching. Chengbang, who was very curious, immediately took Jiang Mei's hand and ran towards the crowd: "Uncle Jiang, there seems to be something fun there, let's go and have a look..."

However, following the bustling crowds around a street intersection, the first thing that caught my eye was the huge object floating in the air. The thing was more than a hundred feet long, about twenty or thirty feet wide. It looked like a ship at the bottom, but how could the ship be so big?

Standing on the ground, he naturally could not get a glimpse of the whole picture, but he could still see the faint green above the sides. With Chengbang's Octavian eyes, he could even tell that it was black oak, a rare and luxurious tree. He could also see that someone was taking care of these trees, and someone was poking his head out of the floating giant ship and curiously looking at the lively scene on the ground.

"Uncle Jiang...what is that..." Cheng Bang asked in horror at the giant object hundreds of feet long and more than thirty feet wide in the air. At the time of the 100,000 mountains, the largest monster Cheng Bang had ever seen was only four or five feet long. Compared with those monsters, the unknown object floating in the air was indeed a huge thing.

Looking at the giant creature, a trace of unknown meaning flashed across Jiang Mei's face, as if nostalgic, and as if she was thinking about something. After a while, Jiang Mei replied: "That is a floating raft, a tool for transporting troops. Do you see the openings on both sides of the hull?" Jiang Mei pointed to the black openings on both sides of the floating raft and said: "There is a fairy stone cannon hidden inside. When the army fights, the fairy stone cannon inside will be revealed. A bombardment of the fairy stone cannon is even more powerful than the warriors in the aura stage!"
