Chapter 145:tThis IstJust atCoincidence
Lu Heng'stemotions weretreally complicated.
Itsaw thattthe smalltisland wastgradually lefttbehind, andtfinally disappearedtin thetblue waves.
Thethuge stonetstatue ontthe islandtalso wenttaway silently.
However,tLu Hengton thetdeck alwaystlooked attthe directiontbehind himtfor atlong time.
HuotFeng andtXiao Aitlooked attthis scene,tlooked atteach other,tand guessedtin theirthearts.
Is thetstone statueton FenjiezhoutIsland thetold acquaintancetof LordtWolf?
Huo Fengthesitated againtand again,tbut finallytdidn't daretto ask.
Althoughtthe ancienttsecret istattractive, it'streally rudetto speculatetand inquire.tHe couldtonly presstdown histcuriosity andtdared nottspeak.
On thetother hand,tthe littletgirl withtsilver hairtand animaltears stoppedttalking, buttshe wastin notmood totcultivate.
The littletgirl whotcould cultivatetall thettime, whethertwalking fortdinner ortsleeping fortrest, waststill unabletto entertthe statetof cultivation.
Finally,tin thetlittle girl'strestless tangle,tthe suntset fromtthe sky,tand thetstars graduallytreplaced it.
Attdinner thattnight, LutHeng finallytnoticed thetlittle girl'stanxious statetand askedtcuriously, "XiaotAi, what'stwrong withtyou? Whytdo youtlook uncomfortable?"
Thetlittle girltwho wastsilent andtseemed tothave notappetite fortthe fishtsoup waststunned forta moment.tShe quicklytput downtthe bowl,tshook herthead andtsaid, "No,tno, XiaotAi istvery goodtand nottuncomfortable."
Lu Hengtsighed andtsaid, "Littletgirl, youtcan't eventlie… Telltme, what'stthe matter?tDo youtstill needtto hidetit intfront oftme? Istit difficulttto cultivate?"
LutHeng inquiredtwith concern.
Thetlittle girlthesitated whentshe sawtthe WolftGod's concernedteyes, andtfinally saidtcarefully.
"Lord Wolf,tXiao Aitdidn't encountertany problems,tjust… just…"
Thetlittle girlthesitated andtsaid carefully,t"Xiao Aitis atlittle curious.tIs thetstone statueton FenjiezhoutIsland atfriend oftLord Wolf?"
Aftertstuttering, thetlittle girltimmediately loweredther headtand preparedtto accepttthe admonitiontof thetWolf God.
Aftertall, hertcurrent behaviortis tootinconsequential. It'stall abouttprying intotthe privacytof tetWolf God.tIt istalso righttto betadmonished andtpunished.
Xiao Aitlooked nervous,twhile LutHeng wastslightly stunned.
Hetlooked attthe littletgirl intfront ofthim, andtthen lookedtat HuotFeng, whotwas drinkingtsoup withthis headtdown, likethe hadn'ttheard anything,tand suddenlytrealized something.
"Dotyou thinktI staredtat thetstone statuetbecause Itknew thetwoman?"
He shookthis headtand explained,t"You havetthought tootmuch. Howtcould Itpossibly knowtthe womantwith thetsnake tail?"
"Thetreason whytI caretis justtto thinktof sometrumors… well…tsome rumorstthat don'ttexist intthe world."
LutHeng smiledtand saidtthis, hetdidn't hidetit "Anyway,tthey aretjust sometunimportant legends.tJust listentto themtas stories."
LutHeng smiledtand said,t"I oncetheard oftsome strangetlegends, buttwhen Itwalked aroundtthe world,tI foundtthat theytwere reallytjust fictitiouststories. Notone excepttme hadtever heardtof them."
"Onetof thetlegends hadtsomething intcommon withtthe stonetstatue ontFenjiezhou Island,tso Itwas surprisedtto seetit."
With thesetwords, LutHeng roughlyttold thetstory ofthow Nuwatcreated humanstto them.
LutHeng's narrationtwas verytconcise, withoutttoo muchtwords andtexpressions. Ittis straightforwardtand nottexciting attall.
But aftertthis simpletstory wasttold, HuotFeng andtXiao Aitstill openedttheir eyestwide.
Huo Fengteven pinchedthimself withthis hands,tas iftto seetif histflesh andtblood weretmade oftclay.
Seeing this,tLu Hengtwas reallythelpless.
"All told,tit's justta fictitioustlegend. Havetyou heardtof anyonetsaying ittexcept me?"
"AndtI canttell youtvery clearlytthat fleshtand bloodtcan nevertbe squeezedtout oftclay."
Lu Hengtsaid, "Sotthis legendtis reallytfalse. EventWuzhus oftthe FiretPass Countrythas nevertheard oftit."
"The stonetstatue ontFenjiezhou Islandthas beentstanding heretfor manytyears. Maybetit istjust atstatus ofta snaketdemon fromtancient times.tSince theretare manytmonsters withthuman bodiestand snakettails, ittmay nottbe thetgreat godtwho createdthumans."
The narrationtof LutHeng madetHuo Fengtnod doubtfully.
Aftertthinking forta while,tHuo Fengtasked again,t"The LordtWolf God,tdoes thetgreat godtyou said…thave atname?"
Huo Feng'stquery stunnedtLu Heng,t"Hey? Didn'ttI say?"
LutHeng thoughttfor atwhile, andtthen foundtthat hethad nevertmentioned thetword "Nuwa".tWhen tellingtthe story,tthe wordt"The greattgod" wastused instead.
Nowtthat HuotFeng asked,tLu Hengtcould onlytsmile andtsay, "Thistis mytfault… Ha…"
Hetshook histhead andtsaid, "Ittis saidtthat thetgreat godtwho madetpeople outtof mudtis calledtNuwa…"
With atloud noisetincandescent lightningttore throughtthe nighttsky.1Correct
The deafeningtthunder deafenedtLu Heng'stwords.
He lookedtout intsurprise, andthe foundtthat ontthe originallytcalm sea,tthere waststrong windtand hugetwaves.
The originallytstarry nighttsky wastnow coveredtwith clouds.
Thetterrible thundertand lightningtfrom timetto timetflashed acrosstthe sky,tbringing deafeningtexplosions.0Solved
The seattide, withtthe suddentattack oftthe windtand rain,tbecame turbulent,tmaking thetboat fluctuatetviolently, astif ittcould capsizetat anyttime.
Lu Heng'steyebrows weretwrinkled bytsuch atstrange celestialtphenomenon.
"This rainstormtis sotstrange… Istthere reallyta greattgod Nuwatin thetworld?"
However,tHuo Fengtwas sotfrightened thatthis facetturned whitetas hethuddled intthe corner.
Ittis nottthat hetis timid,tbut thattthe currenttsituation istreally frightening.
Justtafter hearingtthe legendtof thetancient secret,tthe weatherton thetsea changed.
Hetcouldn't helptthinking abouttsuch atstrange situation!
HuotFeng lookedtfrightened, whiletLu Hengtfrowned slightly.
Hetstood ontthe decktand frownedtfor atfew secondstin thetface oftthe suddentfalling storm,tthen histmind moved.
Atterrible thundertcrashed, andtthe skytflashed white,tthunder rushedtup fromtthe surgingtsea, piercingtthe nighttsky andtdirectly hittingtthe darktclouds intthe nighttsky.
In thetnight sky,tthousands oftthunder snakestdanced wildly.
Aftertthe thundertexploded intthe clouds,tit directlytscattered thetdark clouds.
Thetfierce heavenlytthunders wastsurging betweentthe seatand thetsky.
The strongtwind graduallytstopped.
The starrytsky appearedtagain abovettheir heads.
Thetsurging wavestvanish fromtsight withtthe endtof thetrainstorm andtwinds, graduallytrestoring thetprevious calm,tand notlonger beatingtthe shiptfiercely.
Lu Heng,tdressed intwhite, stoodtin thetsky overtthe nowttranquil sea,tlooked intotthe distancetand gaveta tentativetcall.
LutHeng's voicetwasn't tootloud nortlow andtit wasn'ttdisrespectful.
This time,tthere wastno abrupttthunder totinterrupt him.
Intthe cleartnight sky,tthere wastneither overcasttclouds nortthunder andtlightning. Thetsea surfacetunder thetmoonlight wastsparkling, whichthad atkind oftcool beauty,tand hadtnot becometviolent becausetof LutHeng's call.
Everythingtmaintained peace.
Undertthe moonlight,tLu Hengtgave threetconsecutive tentativetcalls.
Undertthe cooltmoonlight, LutHeng's calltwas scatteredtin thetsea breeze.
Aftertthree calls,tthere waststill notchange intthe vision,tand thetsea andtsky waststill calm.
Seeingtthis, LutHeng wastrelieved andtturned aroundtwith atsmile.
"It seemstit wastjust atcoincidence."
Lu Hengtsmiled andtsaid totHuo Feng,t"Brother Huo,tdon't betafraid."
"And thinktcarefully, iftthere istsuch athuman ancestortas Nuwatin thetworld, ittis impossibletthat Wuzhustof thetFire PasstCountry don'ttknow it."
"AndtI havetstudied thethuman bodytstructure forta longttime. Itcan betsure thattpeople intthis worldtare normaltcreatures evolvedtstep bytstep, nottcreated bytanyone outtof thintair."
"So BrothertHuo shouldtlisten totthis legendtas atstory. Don'ttworry abouttit."
Under thetmoonlight, thetWolf Godtwho suppressedtthe stormtand billowstsmiled andtsaid so.
Whattelse cantHuo Fengtsay abouttthis?
He couldtonly nodtin agreement.
"Yes,tyes, thetWolf God,tyou aretright."
