Chapter 299 Their ancestor was Chu Miao?
On the ancient mountain.
A man holds a long incense stick in his hand. In front of him is an incense table, on which various incense sticks and candles are placed.
Above the incense table hung a portrait of a woman.
It was a woman dressed in ancient clothing. The portrait must have been quite old, as it had begun to yellow.
It was a dark yellow hue that had settled over time, but the scroll itself was in excellent condition, which shows how much the person who kept it valued the portrait.
The man reverently raised the incense above his head, bowed deeply before the portrait.
Behind him were dozens of people who bowed down and knelt in devout worship as the man prayed.
The person in the portrait is their great-great-great-great-grandfather.
After offering incense, the man washed his hands in the basin, then took a handkerchief from the servant and cleaned his hands again.
After washing his hands, he walked to the high seat and sat down. The others also stood on both sides. The man looked at the man kneeling in the center and asked in a cold voice, "Are you saying that the person who helped them is a woman who can use the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique)?"
"Yes." The elder nodded. He was the one who had met Chu Miao in the forest before. Chu Miao's Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) had shocked him so much that he still couldn't forget it. He came specifically to tell the man, "It's the Lingbo Weibu created by our great-great-great-grandmaster. Over the years, even we ourselves have only been able to learn a little bit of it. But that woman can use the Lingbo Weibu with perfect precision. Her steps... are exactly the same as those recorded in the ancient books. She has the style of our great-great-great-grandmaster back then!"
Although they had never seen the appearance of the Great Master in person, they had only heard about him from generations of people.
Legend has it that their great-great-great-grandmother was an extremely powerful and extraordinary woman.
Legend has it that their great-great-great-grandmother was a goddess-like physician with exceptional medical skills and also possessed extremely powerful alchemy abilities.
Their current alchemy techniques are still learned from the alchemical texts passed down from their ancestor.
Their sect has had a set of rules since its inception.
The goal is to develop a time machine that can travel through time.
For hundreds of years, they have been fulfilling this mission.
In the past, technology was not advanced enough, so it was impossible to do so. Even now that technology is relatively advanced, it is still very difficult to develop a time machine.
It took them a huge amount of money and effort over the past twenty years to develop the time machine.
The time machine was successfully built, but the key was hidden by the person who developed it.
They paid them such a high price and supported them without ever owing them anything, yet after they invented the time machine, they actually hid the key!
At the time, the man's father was in power. He was furious and sent men to hunt them down, determined to get the key back. But somehow they died, and the key disappeared.
They have been searching for so many years, but they still haven't found it.
In fact, they didn't know why each generation was so obsessed with researching time machines, but the message passed down from generation to generation was that they hoped all future generations would use their abilities to make a good time machine and travel back to the Great Chu Kingdom, to the era when their great-great-great-great-grandfather existed.
As for what they would do if they traveled back in time, they didn't know; all they knew was that they had to carry on the legacy.
"The great master's Lingbo Weibu movement technique is never passed on to outsiders. Moreover, after so many years, we only have a fragment of the Lingbo Weibu manual and have only learned two or three tenths of it. How could that woman possibly know her ultimate technique, Lingbo Weibu?"
"Hey Lao Li, it's one thing if you can't beat a little girl, but don't make things up here, okay?"
The crowd didn't believe it. Even they didn't know their ancestor's movement techniques, yet he claimed that a little girl of about ten years old knew their ancestor's ultimate skill. How could that be possible?
The elder knew that what he was saying was absurd, and he himself would not believe it either, but that was the truth. That woman really did know the ancestral master's Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).
"Why would I lie to you like this? Everything I said is true. That woman really does know the ancestral master's secret techniques. I didn't see her face clearly at the time, but her figure..."
The elder frowned deeply. He glanced at the portrait, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's almost identical to the patriarch."
The others laughed again: "Ha, why don't you just say that woman is our ancestor!"
"I think you're just getting old. You can't even handle a little girl, yet you're still spouting nonsense here! You might as well get out of your seat sooner rather than later!"
"Hahahaha!"
Laughter erupted from below, and the elder turned red with anger, yet he couldn't explain himself.
Because even he himself found it absurd and unbelievable.
There was a girl who was not even twenty years old, and she looked exactly like their ancestor. He even wondered if the girl was the reincarnation of their ancestor.
The man remained silent, his brow furrowed as if deep in thought.
A young girl.
They know their ancestor's movement techniques...
Their physiques are remarkably similar to those of their ancestor.
All of this is too much of a coincidence.
The man's eyes widened, and a storm of emotions surged within him!
He remembered his father's words.
His father once told him that if he saw a girl who looked very much like their ancestor, he should treat her well and ask her about her background, because she might very well be their ancestor!
He didn't understand how his ancestor, who was clearly from a thousand years ago, could still be alive a thousand years later, still in the form of a young girl. But since his father said so, there must be a reason. His ancestor was so powerful that perhaps he could travel through time or live for a thousand years!
"Shut up, everyone!"
The man roared angrily, and the elders below dared not cause any more trouble and all calmed down.
The man hurriedly asked, "Where is the girl now?"
"I don't know her identity or background. I only know that she is with Si Yelin, the son of the couple who invented the time machine but then ran off with the key to it!"
How did they end up together?
The man frowned, but that didn't matter.
He was eager to see that woman.
"Go and find that woman for me," he added, "and remember to be polite to her and try not to offend her."
They don't know the woman's background yet, but if she really has something to do with their ancestor, then they absolutely cannot offend her!
Just as the man finished speaking, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside!
A man rushed in, shouting, "It's terrible! Mountain Lord! Something's happened! Someone's attacking Ancient Mountain! They're coming in strong, some of them have top-notch lightness skills, and others are skilled in poisons. We're about to be overwhelmed!"
