From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

In the north, there was Yu the Great who tamed the Yellow River; in the south, there was Wuyang who managed the Yangtze River.

In the past, the Wushan area suffered from severe flooding, making it difficult for the local people to survive, a cause for great concern to the imperial court...

Just when everyone was at a loss, a strange man emerged from the Wuxia Gorge. He was nine feet tall, broad-shouldered and burly, with an ugly face. He claimed that he had mastered powerful magic and could command ghost soldiers, dredge waterways, and solve floods.

However, there are two conditions for managing floods.

one.

When he performed rituals to dredge the river, the villagers at the foot of the mountain were not allowed to approach. They only needed to deliver food to the outside of the gorge, and he would naturally go and enjoy it.

Secondly.

That meant the imperial court should bestow upon him the title of king, and even more so, build a temple for him and offer incense in the future.

The people agreed.

Local officials also reported this to the imperial court.

The imperial court also wanted to solve the flood problem in the area, because only when the local people lived in peace and stability would the possibility of uprisings be continuously reduced.

And just like that, the two sides hit it off immediately.

Because of King Wuyang's merit in dredging the river, the local people gave him a woman surnamed Li to be his wife.

As a result, King Wuyang worked even harder, and for two days he did not touch the food that the villagers brought him.

To prevent her husband from overworking, Lady Li personally led her servants, carrying food, into the mountains to present it to the King of Black Sheep.

Who knew that upon entering the mountain—

What kind of supernatural being casts spells?

Only a large black boar, several tens of feet tall, was using its snout to nudge the river water, while a group of mandrills and white apes helped carry sand and stones.

Upon discovering his true form, King Wuyang was filled with shame and led the mountain demon and white ape back into the mountains, never to emerge again.

Lady Li, desperately pleading for the King of the Black Sheep to emerge, stood atop a mountain and cried out towards the Wu Gorge, but the King never appeared. Finally, she jumped from the mountaintop…

King Wuyang felt guilty towards his wife, so he went out of the mountains again to dredge the river channels until the task was completed.

The local people were extremely grateful and treated him to a feast.

However, King Wuyang, heartbroken, did not stay but returned to the Coffin Mountain in Wuxia Gorge. It was only because he drank a few too many cups at the victory banquet that he mistakenly entered Xiling Mountain, fell drunk on the ground, and revealed his true form, which was a large black pig.

The local villagers, unaware of its nature, mistook it for a wild boar that had escaped from the mountains and slaughtered it.

When the followers of the Black Sheep King arrived at the scene, even the offal and entrails had been cooked... After that, locust plagues and epidemics broke out in the area... People said it was the vengeful spirit of the Black Sheep King causing trouble!

It wasn't until people built a tomb for the Black Sheep King in the mountains and buried his bones, internal organs, and fur that the locust plague disappeared and the epidemic vanished...

Upon hearing this story, Zhang Zhiwei remained unconcerned, chuckling as he said, "It must have been really difficult for you, a mere vendor, to fabricate such a story just to sell masks."

How do you know I made it up?

The stall owner asked with a smile.

“I came from outside and asked other people, but they didn’t know anything about the legend of the Black Sheep King.” Zhang Zhiwei felt that the stall owner was to his liking, so he said a few more words.

“They don’t know, but we people here do.”

The stall owner was extremely confident and pointed out, "If you don't believe me, go and take a look in the center of this town. That's Master Feng's house."

The ancestors of the Feng family were tomb raiders who made their fortune through tomb raiding. During the Ming Dynasty, they were highly regarded by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and were thus granted the title of "Guanshan Taibao".

Later, Feng Shigu, the ancestor of the Feng family, resigned from his official post and returned to his hometown. He became addicted to tomb raiding and led a group to raid the tomb of the King of Black Sheep. The details are unknown, but after he came out of the mountains again, his personality changed drastically. He said that he had comprehended the Great Dao and built a village of earth immortals in the underground palace of the King of Black Sheep's tomb.

Legend has it that anyone who follows him into the Immortal Village can cultivate the Great Dao together and, after a hundred years, be resurrected to become an immortal!

"Is that so?"

Zhang Zhiwei was surprised. He turned around and looked towards the center of Qingxi Village along the road. Sure enough, at the end of the road, there was a large mansion with black tiles and white walls. There was also a pair of stone lions about three meters high guarding the entrance. This was not a decoration that an ordinary family could afford.

But when he turned around again, the stall owner was nowhere to be seen, and the stall itself had vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, the other pedestrians on the road continued with their own business, buying and selling vegetables, and calling out to each other, completely unaware of anything amiss.

This moment.

Zhang Zhiwei frowned and immediately used the Unfinished Technique to greatly enhance his six senses, but he still couldn't find any trace. He muttered to himself, "Am I seeing a ghost?"

impossible!

Which evil spirit dares to approach me?

Those spirits from Northeast China who have cultivated for thousands of years dare to come and mess with me. I'll beat them to a pulp, and those guys from Northeast China won't have any reason to complain!

How come there's not a single trace of them now?

Could it be a hermit living here?

Or perhaps...

# Chapter 1104 Wuxia Coffin Mountain (Part 4) Feng Tianyang and Sun Xuewu

Thinking of the second possibility, a look of speechlessness appeared in Zhang Zhiwei's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and he walked along the road toward the Feng family mansion.

Because he was wearing a pig's head mask, he attracted the attention of many pedestrians along the way.

But Zhang Zhiwei didn't mind—

Anyway, I can't see his face.

After walking 500 meters, Zhang Zhiwei arrived at the Feng family mansion. He stopped and looked at the two stone sculptures at the entrance, only to find that they were not stone lions.

Although it is majestic, it also reveals a hint of ferocity, with mane like swords, ears as big as fans, and nostrils pointing to the sky... It is clearly a big black pig!

"Oh ho! What the mask seller said might actually be true. This town might really have some stories about the Black Sheep King." Zhang Zhiwei had only heard of the Feng family before, that they were from the Guanshan Taibao lineage and had many connections with the Feng family, but he never thought they could actually be connected with the mountain spirits.

Just as he was about to knock on the door to ask, the door opened and a young man came out. He said to another young man behind him, "Brother Sun, don't worry. I'll go into the mountains to check on your father's whereabouts. But let me make this clear: if I can't find him, please accept my condolences."

"Don't worry, if we can't find it, that's just the fate of the Feng family."

The young man surnamed Sun was sighing and complaining, clearly concerned about the Feng family. This greatly surprised Zhang Zhiwei, who was standing outside the door. Zhang Zhiwei spoke up, "Brother, what do you, surnamed Sun, have to do with the Feng family? Are you perhaps the grandson of the Feng family patriarch?"

"who are you?"

The two young men then noticed a tall figure standing outside the black sheep stone sculpture, and both were on high alert.

"Let me introduce myself. I am a guard from the Gongpai, a man of great ability who dares to change the world. I have come here to investigate the landlord."

Zhang Zhiwei showed no fear whatsoever, and instead argued vehemently, "With such a large and powerful family like yours, the Feng family must have amassed a great deal of wealth from the people."

Suddenly accused of oppressing the people, the young man surnamed Sun panicked. He jumped down the steps, grabbed Zhang Zhiwei's arm, and tried to pull him into the courtyard, saying, "Sir! Sir! Let's go inside and talk! Let's go inside and talk!"

No matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail; he couldn't move Zhang Zhiwei even an inch.

Another young man, seeing through the situation, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, you are also a cultivator, why make things difficult for ordinary people? I am from Liangshan, a shaman named Tianyang. May I ask which path you belong to?"

"I had heard that the Feng family and the Feng family had a connection, but I never thought it was true."

Zhang Zhiwei also cupped his hands in greeting, "I wasn't lying, I really am a member of the 'Humble Faction,' here to scout out the local landowner in advance..."

He changed the subject halfway through his sentence, "Of course, as a cultivator, I also understand what is important and what is not."

From what I just overheard your conversation... it seems the head of the Feng family has gone missing in the mountains?

That won't do.

"If the land is to be returned to the farmers, the head of the household must be present."

In an instant.

Feng Tianyang and the young man surnamed Sun suddenly realized—

What kind of powerful figure's bodyguard?

They clearly want to explore ancient tombs in the mountains! Or even a village of immortals!

He's probably some kind of tomb raider!

However, it was difficult to say such things aloud. The young man surnamed Sun, wanting to use Zhang Zhiwei, said, "Sir, if you can rescue my father, I will repay you handsomely."

“I’m curious why your surname is Sun?” Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"To be honest, sir, I am not the grandson of the Feng family, but the son of the head of the Feng family, Feng Xuewu. However, I was adopted by a local family surnamed Sun when I was young, so I am also called Sun Xuewu."

Sun Xuewu explained the reason for his surname, and then sighed repeatedly.

It turns out that his father's name was Feng Sibei, and he had two sons, one named Feng Xuewen and the other named Feng Xuewu. He, Feng Xuewu, was the second son.

At that time, since his in-laws had no son, Feng Sibei gave Feng Xuewu to the Sun family for adoption, with the intention of letting Feng Xuewen inherit the family business.

However, Feng Xuewen had no interest in "studying" and preferred to explore the world, so he ran away as soon as he came of age.

However, they also exchanged letters with each other.

It's said he joined Changsheng Mountain, became a hero, and recently even devoted himself to the cause of changing the world...

"My lord! My elder brother is also from Gongpai."

When Changsheng Mountain was mentioned, Zhang Zhiwei remembered that Chen Yulou was originally a bandit leader from Changsheng Mountain... Feng Xuewen was in Chen Yulou and Zhang Muzhi's group.

but!

In return—

"It's no use! If they're local bullies, they have to be beaten! I'll even beat my own family!" Zhang Zhiwei spoke with a rather arrogant and unreasonable tone, then chuckled and said, "What's next? Is it because your brother ran away that your father took you back from the Sun family?"

"It can't be hidden from the adults' discerning eyes."

Sun Xuewu flattered him.

"Let me ask you again, what was your father doing at the Wuyang King's Tomb and the Earth Immortal's Tomb?" Zhang Zhiwei asked bluntly.

In an instant.

Sun Xuewu and Feng Tianyang exchanged a silent glance, both seeing the "as expected" look in each other's eyes, confirming the purpose of the person wearing the black pig mask in front of them.

The Tomb of the King of Wuyang!

The Ancient Tomb of the Earthly Immortals!

But it was precisely because they had something to ask of each other that they dared to give them some trust.
