To be honest, she still couldn’t fully accept that her home had collapsed due to an earthquake, and even more terrifying, she had fallen into a mysterious place.
He looked at her silently, then continued walking towards the edge of the grasslands.
Xu Xuan’en followed, feeling powerless. From the moment she opened her eyes until now, nothing good had happened.
They walked like this for an unknown amount of time. Before Xu Xuan’en could react, Qiao Ben suddenly stopped.
“Ah!” She bumped straight into his back, almost breaking her nose. “Why did you suddenly stop?”
He didn’t respond, just stared straight ahead.
“Eh? What are you…” Following his gaze, she looked in disbelief.
How could something like this appear here?
“Nothing, I was just studying what’s written on this piece of wood,” Qiao Ben said, scratching his head in confusion.
“Da Yun Mountain.”
This mountain name… Xu Xuan’en scratched her head, feeling somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it recently… She pondered for a long time, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration…
“Ah!” She remembered where she had seen it!
“A bit hard to understand… Huh? Do you understand it?” Qiao Ben looked at her in amazement. Sure,
“A-Niu, I’ve been forced to look at some ancient characters, and I actually understand them, which is quite thought-provoking. But what surprises me the most is, why are we here?” She looked at him with a bit of confusion.
“Where? Do you know where we are?” He looked at her excitedly.
“I guess we might be in the world described by the ‘Shan Hai Jing’.” She blinked, hitting him heavily again. “The mythical world.”
She wasn’t very sure because she had only skimmed through her uncle’s ‘Shan Hai Jing’.
Zou Ben was stunned.
Xu Xianen didn’t know what to say either; they had indeed returned to the past.
But amusingly, why is it that when the protagonists in the novels return to the past, they end up in the prosperous Tang or Han dynasties, whereas when she returns, it’s not at all leisurely but filled with monsters and strange events?
“Isn’t this too exaggerated…” Zou Ben slowly expressed his thoughts. He didn’t understand what the ‘Shan Hai Jing’ was, nor did he know what was written in it, but the phrase “mythical world” was easy to understand.
