Chapter 273 Statue of Shennong
Since he met Fire Dragon, Gao Ge has been more certain that he will encounter other people of the Dragon Court. If he is lucky enough, he may be able to meet Meng Jing, Yue Xincheng and other peers.
After a short recess, they continue to march towards the peak of the snow mountain.
Searching for people in the snow terrain is just like looking for a needle in a bottle of hay. It is only a matter of luck.
“Do you think there is only one snow mountain in the snow terrain?” Xia Lu says while climbing towards the peak with Gao Ge.
Her question actually makes Gao Ge quite worried.
In fact, Gao Ge also thought of the question before but as he kept thinking, he felt too worried to continue.
No one knows how big the snow terrain is.
Maybe as Xia Lu said before, there are tens of snow mountains apart from the one before them.
In that case, it will be a long shot for Gao Ge and Xia Lu to find Yue Xincheng and the others.
They walk and stop.
On the way, Gao Ge and Xia Lu have collected quite some red beads they ate before.
However, they get increasingly confused.
It is not a difficult thing to find such red beads with some efforts. Just beware of anything that appears under your feet.
Yet, for the sake of the red beads, the Swordlord Ming Wu of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect was killed here.
Gains cannot make up for losses indeed. And it is really beyond Gao Ge’s understanding.
“Then why do we prepare so many red beads?” Xia Lu asks.
“These are good stuff!” Gao Ge says seriously.
Xia Lu says happily, “I certainly know that but only one bead is effective enough. It will be a waste if you eat more than one.”
“Therefore, we can sell them to others!” Gao Ge says grinningly.
“Selling them to others?”
Gao Ge doesn’t continue saying anymore.
He does the math simply.
By far they have collected 20 beads or so.
He wonders whether the beads are everywhere in the snow terrain or there are more of them in the snow mountain.
When they return to the mountain path, they realize that more people are on the path.
“It seems that there have been more cultivators heading towards the snow mountain.” Gao Ge becomes a bit excited. Since so many people are here, it is more likely for him to meet with Yue Xincheng and the other friends.
The snow mountain doesn’t look high but they realize that they are still at the hillside after walking for a long time.
There is a podium at the hillside, which is beside the mountain path. On the podium is a human-shaped statue. It is sort of an ice statue. To Gao Ge’s surprise, the statue is highly transparent, the internal organs of which can be clearly seen.
“Who is this?” Xia Lu asks, “How come there is a statue in this place?”
“Shennong.” Gao Ge blurts out without thinking, “According to legend, Shennong, one of the Three Sovereigns amongst the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, was born with a crystallized belly, which thus made others able to see what he had eaten. Apart from that, look at the statue. He is holding a vine plant with leaves facing towards each other. The plant must be the commonly known gelsemium elegan.”
“One of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?” Xia Lu says grinningly, “I’ve heard of it before, except that there are many versions of the legends of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.”
Gao Ge nods his head, “The Three Emperors refer to Heavenly Sovereign, Earthly Sovereign and Human Sovereign. Human Sovereign is also known as Tai Sovereign. As to the classifications of the Three Sovereigns, there are generally three variations. First, based on The Big dipper’s Pivot of Movement in the Spring and Autumn Annals (Chunqiu Yundou Shu), the Three Sovereigns refer to Fuxi, Shennong and Nyuwa. The second saying is that the Three Sovereigns refer to Fuxi, Shennong and Gonggong, which is sourced from the Bai Hu Tong. The third variation is mentioned in the Shanshu Dazhuan—Fuxi, Shennong and Suiren. Although there are many variations of who classifies as the Three Sovereigns, Fuxi and Shennong are always among the Three Sovereigns. In fact, Suiren also made great contribution. According to legend, it was Shuiren who went to Suiming Kingdom, where he discovered the fire and brought it back. Hence, he is also called as Fire Maker. Due to some disagreement, there is no conclusion. Actually, to be more accurate, I think that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors epitome an era instead of referring to some specific people.”
“An era?”
“Yeah. The ancient times or the Age of Mythology.”Read more chapter on novelhall.com
Xia Lu takes a tumble and asks, “Then why is the statue of Shennong in this place?”
Gao Ge shakes his head, saying with a bitter smile, “I don’t know. Maybe this place is related to Shennong.”
Xia Lu and Gao Ge keep marching towards the peak while pondering why the Shennong’s statue is here. Nevertheless, they can’t draw a conclusion after discussion. After all, they have known quite little about the secret realm of the snow terrain.
“Do you think the so-called Age of Mythology existed before?” Xia Lu asks.
“I think so.” Gao Ge says smilingly, “Even ghosts and cultivators can come to being. It is possible that there were so many capable people in the ancient times.”
“Then has dragon ever existed in the world?” Xia Lu says, “I’ve never heard of that before. Moreover, it is too unbelievable.”
Gao Ge turns around to look at Xia Lu, asking with a serious face, “In many years, if someone tells you that there used to be a creature with colorful feathers on the head under the species of birds, which can fly and speak human language, do you believe him?”
Xia Lu shakes her head subconsciously.
“The bird is called parrot.”
Xia Lu is speechless.
She feels being fooled by Gao Ge, but on second thought, she finds that Gao Ge makes a good point…
After walking for a time, they hear the fighting sound from the woods beside the mountain path.
Boom. They can even feel the shaking of the surrounding air. The fight must be not far away from them.
Xia Lu asks subconsciously, “What shall we do?”
Gao Ge thinks for an instant, saying, “Let’s go over there and have a look.”
They leave the path and walk along the sound. Not for a while, they see a set of messy footprints.
After less than two minutes, Gao Ge sees a group of people having a fight.
“They are the people of the Dragon Court!” Xia Lu says in surprise.
“Yeah. The people of the Dragon Court are here. I have met some of them. Yet, who are fighting with them?” Gao Ge bends over and hides behind a big rock, watching for the proper moment for action.
“I don’t know. They should belong to some cultivation school.” Xia Lu says and suddenly feels puzzled, “No, I feel it quite familiar… Look at them carefully. Are the steps that the men in black are using similar to your…”
Before Xia Lu finishes her sentence, Gao Ge blurts out the words.
“Ghost-like Steps!”
“Are they the people from Shadow School?” Xia Lu asks.
“I suppose so.”
“Then we must go to help!”
“No rush.” Gao Ge is gazing at one of the men from the Shadow School, who is carrying a long sword. The long sword gives out queer Qi that makes every member of the Dragon Court react slowly.
The members of the Dragon Court are like being bewitched.
“That’s good stuff!” Gao Ge immediately realizes it.
The man of the Shadow School carrying a long sword is rather capable. Although the long sword does help, his capability cannot be underestimated.
