Weiyuan slowly recorded, muttering, "Beyond the Northwest Sea, east of the Chishui River, there is the land of the Long-Shanked People."

"There is the Long Mountain of the Great Marsh. There is the land of the Bai Clan."

"There is a bird of five colors, with a crown, called the Mad Bird."

These were the words from the *Classic of Mountains and Seas, Great Wilderness Western Classic*.

Weiyuan re-engraved them on the Great Wilderness Jade Book.

He paused, reached out and grasped a lever, turning it slowly, his right hand continuing to record:

"Supplement: Rich in flavor and tender in flesh, especially the chest and abdomen."

"Eating it causes qi and blood to surge, making one irritable and greatly strengthened."

Over the fire in front of him, a five-colored bird had long been plucked clean and was slowly roasting. Weiyuan pierced the bird with a pair of iron tongs, slowly rotating it. The aroma was captivating. Bai Ze pretended not to care, but his eyes couldn't help but drift over.

Half a day ago, after Weiyuan's friendly and polite exchange of official formalities, Bai Ze expressed a high degree of agreement and recognition of the conclusion that the two should travel together, and voluntarily acted as Weiyuan's guide to the northern side of the Great Wilderness, just incidentally taking the opportunity to satisfy his appetite by dealing with a Mad Bird along the way.

Although this bird was also five-colored, at best it could only be called a five-colored chicken.

It was completely different from the Phoenix Bird, the Emperor Bird, and the Luan Bird.

Of course, relatively speaking, it was still difficult to catch.

But Weiyuan had Bai Ze next to him, who understood all things, the affairs of ghosts and gods, the essence of things, and the changes of wandering souls were all within his range of knowledge. Catching a five-colored bird was a piece of cake.

One was responsible for catching.

The other was responsible for cooking.

Their teamwork brought tears of joy to the eyes of the fierce beasts of the Great Wilderness.

Bai Ze took a portion of the Mad Bird's leg that Weiyuan had divided, praising its taste, saying:

"As expected of you."

"I finally know why you were able to accompany Yu and Qi."

"With this skill, what else do you need? If it were back then, Xuanyuan would definitely have been willing to take you along."

"Even if he wasn't willing, those guys wouldn't have let it go. They would have beaten Xuanyuan to a pulp just to take you on the road..."

Weiyuan raised his eyebrows: "Those guys?"

Bai Ze grinned and said, "Yes, those guys, didn't you know?"

"Actually, it's very strange, but all the heroes of the human race seem to have some strange attraction, they will definitely gather together, like swords and blades are forever connected with blood and fire."

"Emperor Yao had Da Yi; Yu had you, Nüjiao, and Qi."

"Of course, Xuanyuan had them too, Chang Xian, Feng Hou, Da Hong, Li Mu, and that bad-tempered Xuannü, and of course, me. Back then, we also roamed together in various places, after all, the human world in that era was even more dangerous."

"I still remember those guys, remember what they did."

Bai Ze smiled and said:

"Chang Xian, killed the Kui Bull Thunder Beast to make war drums."

"Feng Hou, descendant of Fuxi, evolved Fuxi's innate eight trigrams into one thousand and eighty acquired miraculous gates, named after him, and also pioneered the Taiyi numerology; Da Hong, oh right, that guy was also called Gui Yuqu, co-authored the *Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic* with Xuanyuan, establishing the theory of the five elements and meridians."

"And Li Mu, haha, that was a reckless man, but he also created the chariot."

"For a bite to eat, he would have tied you to the chariot and dragged you away, even Xuanyuan couldn't stop him, haha..."

Bai Ze laughed, and after laughing for a while, his voice paused, and he said softly:

"Unfortunately, they are all gone."

"Otherwise, they would definitely like what you make."

"People of later generations probably no longer remember their names, right? War drums, chariots, *Qimen Dunjia*, the five elements and meridians, are these things still circulating? Do people of later generations still remember these things? Their stories and legends are only remembered by guys like me."

Weiyuan: "..."

He reached out and pressed down on Bai Ze, who was reminiscing about old friends while reaching for the roasted wings.

This guy, as expected of a divine beast close to a Kirin or Dragon, had immense strength.

Weiyuan's mouth twitched: "Talking is talking, don't use your hands..."

Bai Ze said with an unchanged expression, "I'm just missing my old friends. They didn't get to eat such delicious things. As a friend, I must taste more for them, live on in place of the dead, and eat their share well. This is the duty of those who are still alive."

Weiyuan: "..."

He finally understood.

How this guy was able to proactively approach Xuanyuan back then.

The thickness of this skin.

Absolutely amazing.

Weiyuan silently placed the Xing Tian Axe in front of him.

So Bai Ze very reasonably withdrew his hand.

In the end, Weiyuan helplessly had to divide another portion to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze had no dignity or awareness as a divine beast, and accepted it without hesitation.

Weiyuan felt that this guy would inexplicably be very compatible with water ghosts.

Weiyuan extinguished the fire and said casually:

"Let's talk, what will we encounter on the way from the Great Wilderness West to the Mao People Country in the Great Wilderness North?"

"Encounter what?"

Bai Ze thought for a while, sighed, "Of course, there's Shi Yi of the Great Wilderness God system. He is a subordinate of Yiming and is in charge of the length of the sun and moon in the northwest corner. He is very strong. Outside the northwest corner controlled by Shi Yi, there is a part of Buzhou Mountain that fell after being knocked down. If you want to cross this area and go to the Northern Region, you will definitely encounter Shi Yi."

"Shi Yi doesn't care about things, but you have to offer sacrifices to the gods to go to the Northern Region."

"Those traveling merchants are like this, this is considered a new rule that has emerged in recent years."

Weiyuan thought of the conversations he had heard in that city before, thoughtfully.

Bai Ze continued:

"If you are willing to participate in the trials, it would be much easier. Go south, behind the Mountain of the Western Queen Mother is the Three Green Birds and the Xuanyuan Platform, and going to the Mountain of the Western Queen Mother from here, you will encounter the son of Zhurong, Prince Changqin. The others, like Yiming and Changxi, are further south, so you won't encounter them. It's very safe."

"Why bother rushing to Shi Yi's place?"

Bai Ze still had some complaints, but seeing Weiyuan's expression, he knew that what he said was useless, and in the end, he had no choice but to continue: "As for going to the Great Wilderness Northern Region, be careful of Yuqiang, the god of the North Sea. The Mao People Country is on the side of the Great Wilderness North Sea. As for the others, I haven't been to the Great Wilderness Northern Region for a long time."

"I don't know what the situation is there."

"I can only say that if I encounter those guys, I can recognize them."

"But speaking of which, there is also Mount Zhangwei in the North Region and the Northwest Sea on the west side of the Great Wilderness."

"It is also controlled by Zhujiuyin, the master of Kunlun Jiuyou."

Weiyuan was stunned: "Zhujiuyin?"

Bai Ze sighed: "Yes, Zhujiuyin, the dragon that illuminates the nine netherworlds. He was quite powerful when Kunlun and the Great Wilderness had conflicts, but the legend says that he doesn't eat, sleep, or breathe. I always feel that something is wrong. That's impossible."

Doesn't eat, sleep, or breathe?

Weiyuan recalled Zhujiuyin, who was always eating.

That guy.

Doesn't eat, sleep, or breathe?

"No… this record must have a problem."

"Where did you hear that from?"

Bai Ze was surprised, and pondered: "The original *Classic of Mountains and Seas*. I remember it was Yu who said it."

"Yu?!"

"Okay, I understand."

Weiyuan answered crisply.

Bai Ze was dumbfounded: "Huh?! What do you understand again?"

Weiyuan was silent for a moment, and said quietly:

"I probably understand what happened back then."

He could already imagine the scene of King Yu visiting Zhujiuyin with a pile of charcoal.

Then he came back and said to Qi and Nüjiao with emotion: "That guy is so strange, he doesn't eat anything."

While saying this, he wrote in the Great Wilderness Northern Classic, Zhujiuyin, does not eat, does not consume.

Yu, what kind of things did you make yourself, don't you have any idea?

Bai Ze finally finished eating, looked in the direction of the northwest corner, and emphasized: "First of all, Potter, you have to hold back. I know that Shi Yi was also one of the Great Wilderness Gods who forced the human race and Nüjiao back then, but remember, don't cause trouble... You're not here to deal with him this time, right?"

Weiyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry."

"I won't alert the snake."

Bai Ze nodded, then paused, looking at him strangely:

"Although I might be overthinking it, I'll ask just in case."

"What do you mean by 'alert the snake'?"

Weiyuan joked: "Of course, it means if we blatantly chop up Shi Yi now."

"Then solve the 'Old Man' of the Mao People Country."

"Then Changxi, Xihe, and these Great Wilderness Gods will definitely be vigilant."

"It won't be easy to make a move later."

Bai Ze: "..."

A familiar feeling made his brow twitch.

Why did he feel that this guy had a characteristic that he didn't want to recall?

How did he seem to see Xuanyuan's shadow in this guy?

No, that shouldn't be... This guy's head shouldn't be that stubborn.

After all, this guy is also a King Yu's accessory.

Accessories know accessories best.

Like him back then, he directly planned to hug Xuanyuan's thigh and freeload.

Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand, and then formed a technique, saying:

"I knew Feng Hou back then, his *Qimen Dunjia*, acquired eight trigrams, Taiyi Divine Number, I know a little bit about it. This is a simple technique, it can probably prevent your identity from being directly exposed. I have been able to remain safe and sound all these years by relying on these techniques."

"Even if a heavenly god like Xihe takes action, they won't be able to trace your origins."

"But after all, I'm not Feng Hou, this technique still has limitations."

Weiyuan said: "Limitations?"

Bai Ze pondered, and nodded, "Unable to completely confuse the secrets of heaven."

"Roughly speaking, this technique can only shift the heavenly secrets to something you've experienced recently. If the other party calculates something, they will make mistakes, and the thing they want to calculate will be exchanged with another thing you recently experienced."

"Just in case, I'll ask."

"You haven't experienced anything outrageous recently, right?"

Weiyuan pondered.

Then he nodded affirmatively.

Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

He touched his belly, and suddenly felt that if he was careful and cautious, just being a guide didn't seem like a big deal.

It wasn't necessarily a bad thing to move around a little after being still for so long.

But this idea was shattered into pieces the next day.
