Yanfu: Starting with the Six-Eared Macaque

Chen Xing held the millstone walnut and spun it around a few times, feeling the texture of the grooves with his fingertips, while a faint, throbbing pain came to his mind.

He grinned and joked, "It's supposed to hurt, that's how you build muscle in your brain."

"You have completed the special Jambudvipa event: Assassination of the King. You will randomly draw a reward containing the power of the Six-Eared Macaque."

Extraction in progress...

A wisp of golden hair, shimmering with a faint light, gently drifted into Chen Xing's palm.

[The Hair of the Six-Eared Macaque] A Yama Token containing the power of the Six-Eared Macaque. Using it increases the awakening level of any inheritance by 8%.

There's not much to say, Chen Xing simply chose to use it, and the hairs turned into points of light and merged into his body.

The current awakening level of the Six-Eared Macaque's spirit is 17%.

The Six-Eared State buffs are as follows: Enhances the holder's six senses by 170%; in a state of stillness and focused concentration, auditory senses are further increased by 170%!

After a series of actions, his personal panel was indeed significantly enhanced.

Chen Xing quickly scanned the purchase list to confirm that nothing was missing.

He got up and walked to the slightly ajar door, then gently pushed it open.

Behind the door was my rented room. It was already bright outside the window, and sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains onto the floor.

The computer has been idle for too long and has entered standby mode, with only the indicator light on the case still flashing.

"That fat bastard, he doesn't even know to turn off the computer after using it." Chen Xing walked to the desk, sat down, and shook the mouse. The screen lit up instantly.

The large time displayed on the screensaver immediately catches the eye.

2011年9月5日，上午10点50分！

Chen Xing's eyes widened suddenly. He clearly remembered that he had returned home after his last performance at 1 a.m. on September 5th. How come it had only been less than 10 hours since he returned after his life-or-death ordeal of three or four days?!

"Wow, if we're lucky, this might even make it to work the next day!"

This thought inexplicably popped into Chen Xing's mind, leaving him both amused and exasperated.

Just as he was filled with emotion, a small-eyed, long-nosed black avatar suddenly appeared before his eyes, and a notification sound immediately rang in his mind:

"Master, the tapir has sent a conversation request. You may choose to accept or decline."

This fat guy is quite well-informed!

"accept!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a familiar voice seemed to whisper in his ear.

"You came out so quickly?!"

The voice sounds familiar; it's that fat guy from the tapir!

"What? You think I'm just naturally gifted but not good enough?" Chen Xing retorted with a laugh.

"Hey, you really are a good fan, you've got some skills." Mo Tian shamelessly praised himself, then changed the subject curiously, asking, "How was it? Was it fun?"

"It was alright, nothing serious happened." Chen Xing replied casually, then paused, remembering their previous agreement, and added, "Now you can tell me what the dark side of the world is, right?"

"No, you're not high enough," the tapir replied immediately.

"level?"

"That's right, you can ask the Ninja Lands for these details; they'll explain them in more detail," Baku said.

"Alright." Chen Xing said somewhat helplessly, then pressed on, "So what is Ninja Land?"

"The eight million Ninja Lands are Houtu's subordinates," Baku patiently explained. "They are responsible for handling the iris text communication between the Walkers and the Jambudvipa incident. Most of the information you receive during the incident is provided by the Ninja Lands. In addition, they are also responsible for initiating conversations between Walkers, preparing identities before their arrival, and cleaning up after their departure. You can think of them as your personal assistants."

"The place I went to before, is that the Jambudvipa you mentioned?"

"Not entirely. Jambudvipa is the full name of Jambudvipa, which, according to legend, is the precious tree that gave birth to the world. Each fruit on the tree represents a brand new world. The place you went to, strictly speaking, was just one fruit on the Jambudvipa precious tree," the tapir replied.

"fruit?"

"Yes, including the world we're in now, which is also one of those fruits," the tapir added, pausing as if suddenly remembering something. "By the way, our fruit is called Heavenly Jiazi Nine, and it has quite a few special rules. If you have time now, we can talk about it in person."

"it is good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tapir's figure slowly appeared in the room, then plopped down on his bed, causing the mattress to sink slightly!

"Are you full of questions? Just say it, and I'll help you answer them!" Seeing Chen Xing open his mouth to scold him, Mo spoke first, forcefully interrupting him.

Chen Xing sighed, having already made up his mind that he would change the sheets and duvet cover as soon as the fat man left.

He suppressed his inner complaints and asked seriously, "I do have quite a few questions. First, what is inheritance? And what is walking?"

"Within the universe, there are five immortals: Heaven, Earth, God, Human, and Ghost; within the mortal realm, there are five insects: naked, scaled, furry, feathered, and shelled," the tapir slowly explained. "However, your Six-Eared Macaque is not among these ten categories; it belongs to an unusual lineage. Different lineages bring different extraordinary abilities, and walking is the key to transcending the mundane."

The tapir paused, then continued, "The world is the fruit on a precious tree, and we humans are like ladybugs flitting among the fruits, drawing sap from them—we are, in other words, wandering in Jambudvipa."

"Is there a hierarchy in the transmission of knowledge?" Chen Xing pressed.

"certainly."

What does "Tianjiazi Jiu" mean?

"The fruit we are in is in the Heavenly Jiazi Nine sequence. Theoretically, only those within this fruit can become Yama's Walkers," the tapir explained.

"Just us? Can't the people inside the other fruits get out?"

"There are some, but very few. If you happen to run into one, consider yourself unlucky," the tapir said casually.

"What are the specific rules of the Tianjiazi Nine?"

The tapir's joking expression vanished, and it spoke seriously, "First, all grudges between travelers must be resolved within the context of the Yanfu Incident. You are not allowed to interfere with the lives of other travelers in the real world by any means. Second, you are not allowed to reveal any information about the Yanfu Incident to ordinary people. Third, try not to use inherited abilities or artifacts that clearly do not belong to this world in the real world. You may use them for self-defense only as a last resort; someone will handle the aftermath, but you must undergo investigation afterwards."

Chen Xing pointed to the tapir sitting on the bed and asked疑惑地问道, "And what are you like now?"

"This is a dream, not reality," the tapir said, shrugging. "Besides, I rarely meet people this way."

"How do you communicate while walking?"

"There are many ways to communicate. You can make a phone call or initiate a conversation through the Ninja Land. If you want to talk face-to-face, find a secluded place to meditate, and you can return to the room you were in before," Baku explained. "Some important figures also have companies in the mortal world, and you can contact their companies directly if needed."

"Does a traveler in this world still need a company?"

"Of course it is. In the mortal world, any organization that is established must go through legal procedures; this is a rule set by the human ruler," the tapir said.

He suddenly slapped his forehead, as if remembering something important: "Oh right, speaking of which, Hongzhong and Houtu are quite interested in your Six-Eared Macaque lineage. This lineage is appearing in Jambudvipa for the first time. If you develop it well, you'll have a bright future!"

"Red Center, Houtu, Rentu..." Chen Xing murmured these unfamiliar names, feeling that the more he knew, the more questions he needed to ask.

"There are many things you can't access right now, so it's pointless to tell you." The tapir was quite philosophical about it. "If you don't want to continue, I can find a way to strip you of your heritage, erase your memories, and let you go back to being an ordinary person."

As Chen Xing recalled his experiences in the Yanfu World over the past few days—the extraordinary powers, the novel experiences, and the thrill of being on the brink of death—his adventurous spirit was completely ignited.

He knew perfectly well that he could never go back to his old, ordinary life.

Chen Xing shrugged. "One last question: how did your Blissful Society obtain the necessary legal permits?"

The tapir paused, clearly not expecting the question, and replied solemnly, "The Blissful Society is an art exchange, not a profit-making organization. We create pure art!"

As he spoke, an endless fervor flashed in the tapir's eyes!

"Alright, for the sake of art!"

"For art!"
