Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 43 I promise you a mountain to suppress this evil spirit abyss
"..."

"Can you really do this?"

After hearing what Xia Ye said, Tu Junfang was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about such a thing.

It's not that he really doesn't have such talent or ability, but he is limited by his own cognition and the mindset formed since childhood. After all, Xia Ye is a time traveler, and has been observing the world from a bird's-eye view from the very beginning.

"It's not me, it's us."

In response to his question, Xia Ye smiled slightly, with his right hand still stretched forward.

"You and I are both 'researchers' and 'lunatics'. Our goals are essentially the same. Why don't we work together?"

"cooperate?"

When Tu Junfang heard this, he laughed at himself. Considering the results and goals that this guy had shown so far, how could he have the qualifications to cooperate with him?

but……

"Okay, I'll join!"

The next second, Tu Junfang's hand was clasped with Xia Ye's. What the other party described might have taken root in his mind and could not be shaken off, making him want to try it no matter what.

In his opinion, this might really be another path that the "Three Corpses Method" can lead to, a path that can lead to "transcendence" without having to kill the three corpses. Although everything is still just a concept, it is exciting enough.

For a moment, the usually indifferent Tu Junfang was also overwhelmed with emotion. After withdrawing his hand, he immediately asked:

"So, when do we start?"

"Haha, Brother Tu, don't be anxious. You also know that this is something that cannot be rushed. Our first step is to do the same as Xia He and the others and use the elixir to strengthen your own "container". A tall building is built from the ground up, so let's lay a solid foundation first!"

Xia Ye responded with a smile.

"it is good."

Tu Junfang nodded, and then said: "Since this is a collaborative research, I want to participate in the whole process, including your medicine-making process, is it possible..."

"Sorry, this is not possible for now, just temporarily." Xia Ye was also very honest.

"This involves many of my own secrets, and you have just joined. I cannot fully trust you. We still need to get used to each other. It will take some time."

"..."

"I see. Then I have no problem. I'll do as you say."

After a little thought, Tu Junfang said no more. He was not worried that this guy would do something bad to him, otherwise he would not be sitting here at this moment.

He also knew that although the other party had given him enough face and expressed his willingness to "cooperate on an equal footing" with him, at least for now, he was only an "invitee" and did not have the qualifications of being truly "equal".

So, if you want to get something from the other person, you have to give first.

in this way……

After the conversation, the direction of future "cooperation" was decided, and Tu Junfang left the treatment room and walked out of the wooden house.

Before getting up, Xia Ye asked him for a favor, asking him to go to the waterfall in the mountains and cut some wood and stack them up. This would be his future residence, and he naturally would not refuse.

About half an hour later, Tu Junfang returned and Xia Ye went into the kitchen to prepare lunch. The three of them had lunch and rested for a while. It was not until the afternoon that the door was opened again.

"came back?"

Seeing two familiar figures, one big and one small, walk in first, Xia Ye, who was taking a nap on the sofa, immediately opened his eyes and smiled, then stood up and waved to Xue Fan behind them:
"Hello, welcome."

"Uh……"

Seeing that there were three other people in the room, Xue Fan suddenly became restrained. He couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the Soul-Guiding Banner and forced a smile.

"Hey, hello, hello. It was you who talked to me before, right? I remember your voice..."

"That's right, my name is Xia Ye, I'm a few months older than you, you can call me Brother Xia, Brother Ye, or Old Xia."

Xia Ye walked up to him and extended his right hand.

After shaking hands...

"Well, Brother Ye, do what you said on the phone before mean anything? I heard from my brother that there is a company in the alien world that is specifically responsible for us?" Xue Fan was a little worried.

"To be honest, I've been in the village for so long, and I don't know what to do if I suddenly leave. I do want to fulfill my wishes, but I still understand the principle that 'the people should not fight against the officials'!"

"..." Upon hearing his words, everyone present, except Chen Duo, couldn't help but look at each other with strange expressions on their faces, and the scene was silent for a moment.

And a few seconds later...

"Pfft~"

Xia He was the first to laugh, followed by Tu Junfang and Xiao Zizai. Even Xia Ye couldn't help laughing out loud, and then he patted Xue Fan on the shoulder and said:
"Don't worry, no one here takes the company seriously, and the company can't control us."

After saying this, he waved to Tu Junfang who was standing beside him, motioning him to come over, and then introduced Xiao Zizai, Chen Duo, and Xue Fan to him:

"This brother Xue has just joined like you, but he has just awakened his special powers. We seniors still need to give him more guidance and care."

"Yeah, no problem."

After nodding to each other to show friendship with Xue Fan, Tu Junfang turned his attention to Xiao Zizai, a man he had heard of for a long time and as they were almost the same age, he couldn't help but look him over.

"Just like that Xia He, I can't see through her..."

After that, when Xiao Zizai and Duoduo rested for a while, Xia Ye called Xiao Zizai and asked him to take Tu Junfang to build a new house over the waterfall, and gave them the blueprints that had already been drawn.

Now that Lao Xiao has experience and Tu Junfang is a meticulous guy, he is not worried at all. He immediately calls Xia He and asks her to look after Duoduo and continue teaching her.

Then...

"Brother Xue, please come in, let's have a chat."

Like everyone else, Xia Ye invited Xue Fan into the treatment room, sat with him, and began to talk about the next plans.

"Your wish is good. It is indeed a great idea to travel the world to comfort the dead, but I still want to know one thing. In order to realize this wish...what are you willing to pay?"

"This……"

To be honest, Xue Fan had never thought about this question before. What he talked about with Xia Ye before was just what he said from the heart. Only when he was asked this question did he lower his head and think deeply.

After a moment, he slowly raised his head, unconsciously clenched the soul-guiding banner in his palm, and then responded softly:
"I don't know what I can give or what I might give. I only know that I don't want to see good people like Mr. Wang and my grandfather pass away in such a sad way. As long as there are people who are willing to follow me, I am willing to keep them by my side and provide for them well."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Hearing Xue Fan's answer, Xia Ye smiled slightly and nodded gently. Although this answer was simple and unpretentious, it was enough to show that his mind was clear, which was truly rare.

"In that case, can you please call out Old Master Wang from your banner so that I can take a look? I will first confirm the specifics of your innate ability, and then we can discuss the follow-up."

"Row!"

Xue Fan responded. After a day of exploration, he had mastered the use of his abilities. He waved the soul-guiding flag, and a dark figure of an old man appeared in the air.

"Um……"

There was a flash of light in Xia Ye's eyes and he saw through the situation of "Mr. Wang".

"It's not just the 'three corpses', it also has a complete soul. It's really interesting!"

This situation was not unexpected, but it was surprising enough. It showed that Xue Fan and Tu Junfang's paths could complement and promote each other in a certain sense.

Thus, Xia Ye had a clear idea about Xue Fan: "Brother Xue, I understand your idea. Let me ask you one last question..."

"You should know very well that in this world, humans are scarier than ghosts. Hell is empty, and the evil ghosts are in the human world. The evil people are endless, and the good people die tragically. It has always been like this..."

"If your wish is to bear the lives of those kind souls, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve in your lifetime. When their numbers increase, you will be crushed one day. Are you willing to do this?"

"..."

Xue Fan thought about it, and his grandfather's face suddenly appeared in his mind again, so he nodded.

"If I can make them feel better before I die, I'll do it!"

"it is good!"

Xia Ye appreciated this answer and he smiled.

"In that case, I will walk with you on your future journey. I will carry everything you need to carry with you. I promise you that as long as I am here, I will never let you be crushed by the burden..."

He paused and extended an index finger.

"I promise you a mountain called Taishan to suppress this evil spirit abyss!"
