Chapter 431 Urging Marriage After a Year
Upon reaching the entrance, Cheng Feng's eyes gleamed with an eerie light. His once clear black and white pupils were now clouded, revealing glimpses of sunrise and sunset.
Without hesitation, he took the lead and stepped inside.
The moment they entered the passage, the surrounding darkness silently enveloped the three of them.
Cheng Feng cautiously stopped and used his mutated Boundless Demon Eyes to observe the darkness.
A rustling sound came from the darkness; it turned out that Wu Sansheng had taken out a high-powered flashlight.
But after more than ten seconds, not a single ray of light appeared.
Soon the sound of a lighter rang out again.
"Strange, I can feel the heat of the flames, but I can't see a single ray of light. The flashlight is probably not faulty, but its beam is being blocked by something."
Wu Sansheng's voice rang out in the darkness, without any sign of panic.
Cheng Feng raised his right hand after hearing this.

A burst of red flames ignited, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.
Fortunately, the Undying Dragonfire is of a high enough rank that the darkness here cannot obscure its light.
Once his vision was restored, Wu Sansheng immediately surveyed his surroundings, while Hei Xiazi silently looked around as well.
This is a smooth sacred path, with the contours of mountains and rivers depicted on the walls on both sides using the most primitive lines.
With the light, the three began to walk slowly forward.
Cheng Feng was preoccupied with the mysterious figure he had seen earlier, so he focused more on the road ahead.
Wu Sansheng and Hei Xiazi didn't have many concerns, so they focused more on studying the murals depicting the mountains and rivers on both sides.
"The style of these murals is too primitive; it's likely that the Xia Dynasty hadn't even begun yet."
Wu Sansheng spoke after making a rough judgment.
"Indeed, during this stretch of mountains and rivers, I only recognized the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, but considering these two mother rivers of civilization..."
The surrounding terrain was completely different from what it is now.
This landscape painting must have been created a very long time ago.
Hei Xiazi affirmed Wu Sansheng's deduction, saying that the mountains and rivers from thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago have undergone earth-shattering changes compared to the present.
Fortunately, the two sources of civilization still acted as anchors, providing the two with a point of reference and confirming that the map depicted the land of China.
"This picture is quite interesting. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers were not the main subjects in the eyes of the ancient people who created these murals."
Cheng Feng stopped and walked to the landscape painting on the side.
Raise your finger and trace the waterway that spans countless mountains.
Hei Xiazi and Wu Sansheng followed Cheng Feng's finger and frowned.
"Indeed, this waterway is more magnificent than the Yellow River and the Yangtze River in terms of scale. As far as I know, there is no waterway this long within the territory of China!"
Wu Sansheng said with great certainty.
The two had noticed this waterway before, but thought it was just an unknown river, after all, time has buried countless mountains and rivers.
But after Cheng Feng's reminder, they also realized that this river was a bit too exaggerated.
They've already traversed nearly half of China, and the river still hasn't reached its end.
"The terrain here is too different from what we have now. Let's look ahead first; perhaps we'll find the answer later."
After Cheng Feng spoke, the two naturally had no objections and followed behind him, continuing to walk forward along this ancient sacred path.
The Undying Dragon Flame swayed merrily in Cheng Feng's hand, dispelling the darkness for the three of them and clearing the way ahead.
Even though the three of them slowed down, they had already walked more than ten meters.
During this period, that unusually long river never ceased to flow, and even branched out into many tributaries.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the darkness ahead, which had been dispelled by the dragon fire.
The black bear behind Cheng Feng shuddered, his previous laziness vanished instantly, and he seemed to lose his composure for a moment.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the figure, Cheng Feng secretly became more vigilant and prepared to make a move at any moment.
Under the scorching sun's true fire, no evil spirits are more than firewood.
Without a word, Cheng Feng silently took two steps forward, trying to dispel the darkness and see what the figure was.
As Cheng Feng approached, the darkness gradually dissipated, and the figure was fully revealed to the eye.
A flicker of doubt flashed across Cheng Feng's eyes.
This is a middle-aged woman dressed in traditional Manchu clothing, with a rosy complexion that looks just like a living person.
Before Cheng Feng could even test the waters, the woman took the initiative to walk towards the group.
Cheng Feng stood still, his gaze fixed on the woman. If she showed any sign of trying to attack, a thunderous offensive would surely follow.
Soon, the woman stopped a meter in front of Cheng Feng.
At this distance, Cheng Feng could see that the woman's gaze was not on him, but on Hei Xiazi behind her.
Cheng Feng recognized the emotion in her eyes; it was the loving gaze of a mother looking at her children.
"Could this woman be..."
Cheng Feng had a premonition, and silently took a few steps back to stand beside the blind man.
The blind man had no expression, and because he wore sunglasses, no one could tell what emotions were hidden in his eyes.
At this moment, the woman spoke.
“Hunqi Shun, Umai Xi Ani Ya Ambadolu Xi Be Faraha.”
Upon hearing this, Hei Xiazi's body trembled slightly, which startled Cheng Feng. He had never seen the blind man so disoriented in all these years.
Cheng Feng had never encountered this language before, and his mind was filled with doubt.
“Eme, Umashi Aniya Ume Baitarha.”
Black Bear's lips trembled, and he uttered the same words in a slightly low voice.
Perhaps sensing Cheng Feng's confusion, Wu Sansheng on the other side spoke in a very low voice:
"This is Manchu script, and this is Old Qi's mother."
Cheng Feng nodded knowingly. No wonder he didn't understand the language; it would make sense if it were Manchu. After all, those corrupt officials in the Qing Dynasty had done those things...
He really had no interest in getting involved.
Then, Hei Xiazi and the woman exchanged words in an 'encrypted' language.
The blind man quickly regained his composure; after all, he had lived nearly a century in vain.
After a long while, the woman waved to the blind man with a relieved expression, turned around with a gentle smile, and walked into the darkness.
Hei Xiazi stared blankly into the darkness for a long time before he came to his senses.
"She advised me to leave, saying that there would be something terrible if I continued forward."
The blind man's tone was flat, revealing no emotion.
Cheng Feng patted the blind man on the shoulder, but offered no other sentimental words of comfort; he knew the blind man didn't need them.
"Did your aunt give any other instructions?"
The blind man's expression turned somewhat unnatural after hearing this, but he quickly sighed and said:
"It's frustrating to admit, who would have thought that a hundred years later, I'd still be facing pressure from my own mother to get married?"
Hehehe... But I'm quite relieved. I never thought I'd be able to see my mother again at this age.
This trip was definitely worthwhile!
