Tong Qingshan's expression was somewhat grim as he unconsciously touched his ear.
Now, Tong Qingshan's ears were quite elongated, resembling those of a mountain elf.
Zhang Chu immediately laughed, "What? Could it be that some memory in your bloodline has been awakened?"
"Sir, I..." Tong Qingshan wanted to say something more.
But Zhang Chu waved his hand, "We'll talk about your matters later."
"What if I become a Great Demon?" Tong Qingshan suddenly asked.
Zhang Chu replied with a relaxed smile, "If you become a Great Demon, that wouldn't be bad. I've heard that many Great Demons can become Guardian Deities of small towns. Isn't there a hedgehog that's the Guardian Deity of a big city?"
The others laughed as well, "Hahaha, that's right, Qingshan. If you turn into a Great Demon, our Zaoye Village will have two Guardian Deities, all thanks to you."
Seeing everyone say this, Tong Qingshan scratched his head, "That's true."
Then Tong Qingshan said, "However, if there's a human cultivation method, I'd like to see how it differs from the demon's cultivation method."
...
A few days later, at dusk, the sun was setting in the west, and the fiery sky seemed to be ablaze.
Zhang Chu was teaching the children, reading some passages from The Great Wilderness Scripture: "West of Rouran, the Wu River emerges, and there is a tree named Great Wu, towering a hundred thousand feet, its canopy spanning thirty thousand miles..."
At this moment, Little Grapes suddenly gazed into the distance and said, "Sir, I see someone being killed by a strange bird, and some books fell from him."
"Hmm? Books?" Zhang Chu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Little Grapes, can you see what books they are?"
Little Grapes blinked, "I can see them, but I don't recognize the words."
But in the next second, Little Grapes picked up a branch and clumsily "drew" a few words on the ground:
Ascending Dragon Scripture!
Seeing these words, Zhang Chu was taken aback!
Ascending Dragon!
These two words hold significant meaning in the path of cultivation.
The Great Demon Technique records that for cultivators, the first major realm is Spirit Foundation, the second is True Law, and the third is Ascending Dragon!
According to the Great Demon Technique, when a demon breaks through the second major realm, they become a Demon King, and breaking through the third realm allows them to be called a "Demon Lord"!
"Ascending Dragon Scripture, could it be a technique that allows one to cultivate to the level of a lord?" Zhang Chu thought, his scalp tingling with excitement.
At this moment, Zhang Chu's gaze fell on Little Grapes. Did she really see it?
Little Grapes' eyes were shining, staring into the distance, looking very eager, and she murmured to herself, "That book is so beautiful, with a little dragon circling around it, and there are many little animals inside."
"You're lying, there's no one falling, no scripture," a snot-bubbling child shouted.
Hu Zi also craned his neck, rubbing his eyes hard, muttering, "Why can't I see a strange bird killing someone?"
Zhang Chu knew that Little Grapes' eyes were special, different from ordinary people.
Considering that Little Grapes was Tong Qingshan's daughter, and Tong Qingshan's background was mysterious.
Perhaps there was some special power in Little Grapes' bloodline.
So Zhang Chu carefully asked Little Grapes, "Little Grapes, did you really see a strange bird killing someone?"
Little Grapes nodded vigorously, "Yes, sir, I'm not lying!"
"What was the person wearing? What did they look like?" Zhang Chu asked.
Little Grapes tilted her head slightly, recalling, "That person was wearing a green Taoist robe, with fiery red hair and beard. When fighting the strange bird, the person was engulfed in flames."
"And also, the strange bird that killed was two!"
Zhang Chu frowned slightly, correcting, "Little Grapes, if there were two strange birds, you shouldn't describe it as 'a strange bird that kills.'"
But Little Grapes shook her head vigorously, "No, it's just one strange bird, but it's two."
The other children were also confused by Little Grapes' words. Hu Zi shouted, "Little Grapes, one is one, two is two, how many are there?"
Little Grapes shook her head vigorously, "But that strange bird is just two, they fly like this!"
As she spoke, Little Grapes used her chubby little hands to demonstrate.
She first put her hands together, making them flap like wings, then separated them and brought them together again.
The children were baffled by Little Grapes' demonstration, completely unable to understand her meaning.
But Zhang Chu suddenly had a thought, a guess forming in his mind, "Could it be the Conjoined Birds?"
Then Zhang Chu asked, "Little Grapes, is the bird you mentioned flying together as two, each with only one wing, one leg, and one eye?"
Little Grapes blinked her big eyes and nodded happily, "Yes, yes, sir, you're the best, you know everything!"
Zhang Chu suddenly understood, it was indeed the Conjoined Birds!
The Great Wilderness Scripture had records of the Conjoined Birds, a rare species left from the Honghuang Era, terrifying in strength, always appearing in pairs.
Some say the Conjoined Birds are what the common folk call the Conjoined Birds, with a dual cultivation method in their bloodline, nearly invincible at the same level.
At this moment, Zhang Chu thought, "It seems Little Grapes really saw it, not lying or hallucinating."
Because Zhang Chu hadn't taught the children about the Conjoined Birds yet, it would be hard for Little Grapes to imagine them.
Moreover, Little Grapes had "drawn" some words earlier, words she didn't recognize yet.
Of course, to verify if Little Grapes' vision was far superior to ordinary people, Zhang Chu decided to test it again.
So, Zhang Chu pointed in the direction of the Great Horned Python and asked Little Grapes, "Little Grapes, can you see a big python on the distant mountain?" This chapter was taken from novelping dot com without permission.
Little Grapes stood on tiptoe, looking into the distance.
Soon, Little Grapes nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, I see it, a big python coiled on the mountain peak."
"You see it?" Zhang Chu's expression was peculiar.
In fact, between Zaoye Village and the direction of the Great Horned Python, there were many mountains. Under normal circumstances, even with excellent vision, one couldn't see through the mountains.
At this time, Zhang Chu continued to ask, "Did you see a Bone Pool near the Great Horned Python?"
Little Grapes nodded vigorously, "Yes, those Bone Pools are made of human and animal skulls, so scary!"
"What's in the Bone Pool?" Zhang Chu asked.
"There's a plant, its leaves are sparse," Little Grapes replied.
"How many leaves?" Zhang Chu asked.
Little Grapes began to count, "One, two..."
Finally, Little Grapes exclaimed with joy, "Twenty-two leaves!"
Zhang Chu immediately confirmed that Little Grapes' eyes were indeed extraordinary, and it wasn't just about good vision!
She could see through so many mountains, something even a typical Great Demon couldn't do, right?
"Could it be a natural anomaly?" Zhang Chu's heart trembled, thinking of a possibility.
In The Great Wilderness Scripture, there are records of a special kind of person, favored by the heavens, born different, with a particular body part incredibly powerful.
There are legends that such naturally anomalous people are destined to be remembered in history, becoming supreme figures of their time.
At this moment, Zhang Chu looked at Little Grapes, pondering, "It seems Qingshan's bloodline is extraordinary. He's a genius in cultivation, and his daughter is even more remarkable!"
Then Zhang Chu asked Little Grapes, "Little Grapes, did you see where the Taoist's books fell after he died?"
Little Grapes nodded vigorously, "I saw it, the strange bird shattered the mountain peak, and the rubble buried the person, along with the books."
"No one picked them up?" Zhang Chu asked.
Little Grapes nodded, "No one picked them up!"
"How far is it from us?" Zhang Chu asked.
Little Grapes tilted her head, counting one by one, "One, two, three..."
She counted on her fingers, struggling and almost falling asleep, finally finishing, "Ah, so tired, it's sixty-seven mountains away."
Sixty-seven mountains!
Zhang Chu immediately calculated in his mind. In Yaoxu, the average distance between mountains is six to seven li, meaning the distance from here to the battle site could be five hundred li.
Five hundred li of mountain road, it's impossible to make a round trip in one night.
"It seems I need to discuss this with the Old Village Chief and Qingshan," Zhang Chu thought.
