Chapter 5: The existence recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?!
Under the canopy, Xiao Douzi had had enough of playing with the tiger and was carried by Lin Ye as they continued walking forward.
"Godfather," she whispered, wrapping her arms around Lin Ye's neck, "where are we going?"
"Let me show you around," Lin Ye said. "This is a zoo. Besides tigers, there are many, many other animals inside."
"Animals?" Little Douzi tilted his head. "What are animals?"
"Animals are all kinds of birds and beasts, those that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water. These are all animals," Lin Ye explained patiently.
Little Douzi nodded. "Little Douzi understands. Kittens, puppies, and insects are animals too, right?"
She had seen several stray cats in the cold palace; they were as thin as her and would run away at the sight of people.
"That's right, Little Douzi is great!" Lin Ye encouraged, patting the girl's head. "What does Little Douzi want to see?"
Little Douzi thought for a moment, then said shyly, "I want to see... one that doesn't bite."
Lin Ye laughed: "Okay, then let's see if it doesn't bite."
He carried the small bag and walked to another area of the park.
Little Douzi saw a giraffe.
It stood there, its neck held high, reaching through the treetops as if stretching all the way to the clouds.
Its body is covered with strange patterns, like dappled sunlight filtering through leaves.
It has two small horns on its head, like withered branches or some kind of decoration.
It strolled over slowly, its large, bright black eyes looking down at you with such a gentle and serene expression.
The little boy tilted his head back so high his neck almost broke, but he still couldn't see how tall the giraffe was.
"Godfather..." Her voice trembled, her large eyes filled with shock. "How...how can its neck be so long?"
"Because it needs to eat the leaves at the top of the tree," Lin Ye explained. "It can't reach them if its neck is too short."
"Isn't it tired?" Little Pocket asked with some concern.
Lin Ye stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "It shouldn't be tiring, right? Giraffes are all like that."
Great Flame Kingdom.
Everyone then saw the creature.
A long neck.
A body taller than any tree.
It just stood there quietly, as if it were connected to the sky.
"Bang—"
Something fell from someone's hand.
An old scholar trembled violently, his white beard shaking uncontrollably: "This...this could be...the Deer-Shu recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
"No!" a young student nearby retorted. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: 'There is a beast that looks like a horse but has a white head, its markings are like a tiger but has a red tail, its cry is like a song, and its name is Lushu.' That thing doesn't have a white head and a red tail, so how can it be Lushu!?"
"Then what do you mean?! What kind of beast have you ever seen with such a long neck?!"
"I...I..."
No one can answer that.
No one has ever seen anything like this.
That neck, how long must that neck be?
Three zhang? Five zhang? Or... does it lead directly to the sky?
How could such a thing exist in this world?
In the remote mountains, where no one had lived for a long time, a farmer knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed to the sky.
"It's the guardian beast of the mountain! The guardian beast of the mountain has manifested!"
As soon as he knelt down, the surrounding farmers all knelt down in unison.
"May the guardian beast protect us! May the guardian beast protect us so that we can have a good harvest this year!"
Afterwards, Lin Ye took Xiao Douzi to see the elephants.
The enormous creature trudged slowly across the muddy ground, each step seeming to leave a dent in the earth. It swung its long nose back and forth, occasionally scooping up a handful of grass and stuffing it into its mouth.
Xiao Douzi was completely stunned.
"Godfather..." She covered her eyes with her small hands, scared but wanting to see, finally peeking through her fingers. "Is that...is that a monster?"
Lin Ye was amused by her cute appearance and laughed heartily. "It's not a monster, it's an animal, it's called an elephant."
"How can an elephant be so big?"
"Because it is the largest land animal."
Little Douzi listened with amazement, her little head bobbing back and forth, no longer afraid. "Elephants are so amazing! Why is their trunk so long?"
"Because elephants use their trunks to eat, drink, and even spray water for fun."
"Wow! The elephant's trunk is amazing!" Little Douzi clapped his hands excitedly.
Streets of various cities in the Great Flame Kingdom.
Everyone looked up at the enormous, mountain-like creature in the sky, speechless.
Some people had their mouths agape, drooling without them even noticing; some people's legs gave way and they collapsed to the ground; and some people's hands were shaking so badly they were practically having a seizure, pointing at the sky and muttering "this, this, this" for ages, unable to utter a single complete sentence.
"Clatter—"
A scholar dropped his fan, oblivious to the sight, his eyes fixed on the sky, his lips trembling: "That...that...that's also a beast? How can there be such enormous beasts in this world!?"
An elderly man who looked like a hunter stood nearby, his legs trembling, needing to lean against the wall to keep his balance. He had been hunting for forty years and had seen hundreds, if not thousands, of wild beasts, but he had never seen anything like this before.
"It's definitely not a beast! I've hunted my whole life, I've seen wild boars and tigers, but this thing—this thing is so big it could crush a cow with one stomp! It must be a demon! A monster conjured up by that sorcerer using evil magic!"
"Yes, yes, yes! It must be a monster!"
Inside the palace, Shu Jingwei was also stunned. Her narrow phoenix eyes widened in shock, and all traces of her usual sharp and cold demeanor were gone. Her fingers unconsciously clenched her sleeves.
The giant beast, the one with a long nose like a python and a body like a mountain, stood there.
Despite being separated by the sky, she could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere that was looming over her.
The Great Flame Kingdom has been established for a hundred years, and its imperial palace has a collection of 30,000 books. She has been reading since childhood, and her knowledge ranges from astronomy and geography to strange tales and unusual stories.
No book has ever recorded such a behemoth.
But the man in the sky, holding his daughter, pointed at the giant beast and spoke to her calmly.
It was as if it were just an ordinary thing.
She suddenly realized—
The man, and Ye Fan, came from a place that was perhaps far more...unbelievable than they had imagined.
Inside the zoo, it was getting dark.
Lin Ye checked the time, then looked down at Xiao Douzi and said, "It's about time, Xiao Douzi, we should go home."
Little Douzi was a little reluctant to leave, his eyes glued to the animals he had never seen before.
"Godfather, can we watch a little longer?"
Lin Ye picked her up. "There will be plenty of time in the future. Little Douzi, whenever you want to see it, your godfather can bring you here anytime."
"Really?"
"Really, Godfather wouldn't lie to Little Douzi, let's pinky swear."
Their two little fingers are hooked together again.
Suddenly, a beam of light shone on the two of them.
"Hey! Who are you?! How did you get in?! The park closes long ago!"
A man in uniform walked over quickly, his face showing vigilance.
Little Douzi immediately shrank into Lin Ye's arms, her little hands wrapped around his neck, not daring to look at the person who came.
Lin Ye remained calm and took out his wallet from his pocket, pulling out a stack of red bills.
"I'm sorry, my child wanted to stay a little longer and didn't have time to leave. Could you please make an exception?"
