Chen Nan's eyes lit up.
Anything that Di Ting called a treasure would by no means be ordinary.
Therefore.
He had to follow Wang Lan's caravan.
Of course.
He could also sense that Wang Lan and their parting ways was for their own safety.
He had to find a reasonable excuse to continue following them.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Wang," Chen Nan said. "Although my brother and I don't want to die, we want to take a gamble."
"Here's what I'm thinking."
"The caravan is already short-handed."
"Why don't my brother and I continue traveling with the caravan."
"One more person can also deter the bandits a little more."
He continued, "If we don't encounter bandits in Luoyan Mountain, we'll continue traveling with the Wang family caravan."
"If we do encounter them, my brother and I can contribute."
"But I have one condition."
"If my brother and I survive."
"You give each of us five taels of silver."
"Consider this five taels of silver as our payment for risking our lives."
"If my brother and I die."
"Just find a place and bury us on the spot."
Wang Lan had not expected Chen Nan to say this.
Especially the offer of five taels of silver for risking their lives, which touched her most tender spot.
If not for the hardships of life.
Whose life would be so cheap?
After a moment of thought, she said, "Your lives are worth far more than five taels of silver."
"How about this."
"If everyone survives encountering the bandits, I will give you fifty taels of silver each."
As Chen Nan had said, their caravan was short-handed.
Two more people could also deter the bandits of Luoyan Mountain.
After all, both Chen Nan and Guo Yu gave a strong impression.
Chen Nan was flattered. "Fifty taels is too much?"
"Not at all," Wang Lan replied. "Then it's settled as discussed." With that, she rode her horse to the front of the caravan and signaled everyone to head towards Luoyan Mountain.
They had to pass through Luoyan Mountain.
Although it would add a day to their journey.
It would not delay the delivery time.
This was a last resort.
"Big brother, I feel a bit dizzy!"
Just as they entered Luoyan Mountain.
Guo Yu's face became haggard.
"Sick? That shouldn't be!" Chen Nan frowned. Although Guo Yu's strength was not high, he had already reached the sixth level of the Yin Cultivation realm.
And all cultivators were immune to illness.
Guo Yu looked at the majestic mountain range ahead with a solemn expression. "I feel something on this mountain is calling me, and I also feel someone wants to possess my body."
"Forcefully inserting memories that do not belong to me into my mind!"
Di Ting: "Forcefully inserting these four words, circle them, they will be tested later."
Chen Nan's mouth twitched. "Can you not be so perverted?"
Di Ting tilted his head 45 degrees towards the sky, tears of humiliation welling up in his eyes, like a wronged little widow. "I was pure once too!"
Chen Nan ignored him. This perverted dog was even more shameless than him.
Guo Yu was in great pain. "The sun!"
"There are ten suns in the sky!"
"I see ten suns in the sky!"
"The world is desolate, and not a blade of grass grows!"
"I want to shoot them!" As he said this, boundless anger filled Guo Yu's eyes. He clenched his fists, his features contorted in a terrifying manner.
Boom!
A few simple words.
Caused a thick layer of goosebumps to rise on Chen Nan's skin.
Guo Yu was skilled in archery.
His arrows never missed.
He knew this.
He thought this was a skill acquired through hard practice.
But now it seemed.
Things were not as he had imagined.
He thought of a terrifying existence in mythology.
Even high up in the pantheon.
He just couldn't be sure.
He looked at Di Ting with a questioning gaze.
Di Ting understood Chen Nan's look and transmitted telepathically, "You guessed right. Guo Yu is not Guo Yu. To be precise, he is the current life of Zongbu Shenyi!"
Chen Nan's scalp tingled.
He recalled the record of Hou Yi in the "Huainanzi · Fanlun Xun."
"Yi removed the harm of the world and died to become Zongbu."
The story of Hou Yi shooting down the sun was well-known.
But few people knew.
Hou Yi had three forms: human, god, and ghost.
In his lifetime, he was a semi-divine, semi-human celestial being.
After his death, he became a ghost king, half-ghost, half-god.
He was a supreme existence at the peak of the Ghost King realm.
In terms of strength.
Only Empress Houtu could surpass him in the underworld.
Even the Great Emperor Fengdu was no match for him.
He did not belong to the underworld.
Yet he also belonged to the underworld.
Because he was a terrifying existence, half-ghost, half-god.
He could travel freely between the three realms.
This was something few could achieve, except for saints.
After all, there was a distinction between Yin and Yang!
However.
Chen Nan found it hard to believe.
Guo Yu was the reincarnation of Hou Yi.
And he had become his subordinate...
This was a supreme being who shot down nine suns.
Of course.
He didn't believe others.
But he still believed Di Ting.
Even though this guy was becoming more and more perverted.
He was still the number one divine beast in the underworld.
After his shock, Chen Nan transmitted to Di Ting: "So, the treasure in Luoyan Mountain belongs to Guo Yu?"
Di Ting: "Luoyan Mountain has the bowstring of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow."
"After it sensed Guo Yu's aura."
"It will forcefully insert Guo Yu's past life memories into his mind."
"However, this will not awaken Guo Yu's past life memories."
"Unless the bow body of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow can be found."
Chen Nan secretly swallowed.
He never expected that this small Luoyan Mountain.
Actually had the bowstring of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
"If I transform into the Golden-Winged Great Peng bird and fly directly to Guangling Prefecture with Guo Yu and Di Ting, wouldn't I miss the opportunity here?"
"Fate, destiny, these things are truly unfathomable!"
Seeing Guo Yu fall unconscious from the pain, Chen Nan asked, "After Yi died and became a half-ghost, half-god being, why did he reincarnate and cultivate again?"
Di Ting: "A long, long time ago, Yi left the underworld, and after that, he never returned."
"It was after that that many powerful beings reincarnated in the underworld."
"I heard that a fierce battle took place in the Divine Realm."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Yi must have participated in that battle."
Chen Nan nodded slightly.
Hou Yi was a being who cared for all living beings.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have shot down the sun for the sake of all beings in the world.
He must have participated in that battle.
Thinking that the great god Hou Yi had become his subordinate.
Chen Nan felt a surge of excitement.
At the same time.
He also felt a sense of anticipation.
If he could find the reincarnations of the heavenly ancient gods.
And take them as his subordinates.
What would happen in the future?
"Let this fellow sleep for now. I, Chen Nan, will seize the opportunity in Luoyan Mountain!"
"No matter what, I will obtain the bowstring of the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow."
Chen Nan looked at Luoyan Mountain with determination.
The carriages moved slowly.
Soon, the sun set.
Wang Lan instructed the caravan to stop in an open area.
The twelve carriages formed a circle, and everyone rested inside.
If they were attacked by bandits.
They would have cover.
Perhaps it was the aroma of food.
Guo Yu, who had been sleeping, also opened his sleepy eyes.
Wang Fu had meat soup sent to Chen Nan, Guo Yu, and Di Ting.
There was also some dried meat and dry rations.
As soon as he took a bite.
Chen Nan frowned.
Was the food poisoned?
