At first, several men didn't believe this person who appeared out of nowhere, "You said you've been here for a long time, so you haven't found a way to leave?"
"No. During this period, I had to avoid attacks from those things at night while also rushing to find clues. It wasted too much time."
Wen Yuan grasped the key point of what he said, "Why are you rushing? Have you not been here all the time?"
"Of course I haven't been here all the time." The man was about to laugh at Wen Yuan, but when he thought that they had just come in and didn't understand what was going on here, he looked at her seriously and said: "The buildings below are It’s so huge that it’s beyond your imagination. I’ve only arrived at this place in the past few days. Generally speaking, I have to stay in one place for more than a month before setting off to the next area.”
The man's words made Wen Yuan fearful of the unknown here, "Well, it's been so long since I asked you what your name is? What should we call you?"
"Just call me He Sheng." Wen Yuan then introduced the tall men around him one by one.
During the conversation, several people gradually became familiar with each other, "Are you saying that this place was not built with the help of Huanguo, but another more powerful force?"
When Wen Yuan heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief, "How did you find out?"
"I told you when I met you that I am a tomb robber. In fact, it is not just me, but several generations of my family have been tomb robbers. However, we are only really interested in one thing. What do you think it is?"
What did this mean? Wen Yuan buried her head in thought for a while, but Shen Huaiyan jumped in front of her and said, "It must be the Magic God Bead from Fantasy Country."
He Sheng's expression became a little playful when he heard this, "You know?"
"It is said that the Kingdom of Fantasy is the real bridge between the gods and the human world, and the Magic God Pearl is also the eye of truth left by the gods in the sky on the human world."
Seeing that Wen Yuan was very interested in the story he told, Shen Huaiyan continued, "It is also said that the Eye of Truth can see through all the lies in the world and make the most severe judgment. It is a way for gods to control the world. "
Although there is such a legend, Shen Huaiyan thinks it is too false, so he never believes it and scorns this legend.
"What does it mean to be a real god?" Wen Yuan thought to himself, could it be that those gods in the sky are not there now?
"They are gods bred by high heaven, not the kind that human beings cultivate." Many of today's gods are not actually gods at all. They are at most the best among cultivators. He is able to do things that ordinary people cannot do and calls himself a god.
But after hearing this, Wen Yuan obviously didn't believe such a story. "It's really a folk legend. It's so outrageous. It's not divine. Do you really believe it?"
"Eh!" He Sheng suddenly jumped out and said excitedly: "You don't have to believe it, but the Magical Pearl does exist."
"How do you know? Have you seen it?" Wen Yuan asked half-jokingly.
The man took out a family diary from his personal space, "You see, our family's diary records in detail that my great-great-great-grandfather briefly owned the Magic God Bead, and during that time, my family The most fertile period in history."
Wen Yuan stepped forward and looked through the notes in his hand. It looked very old indeed, and the edges were yellowed, which seemed to be caused by frequent reading.
"This bead really has the ability to reverse time?" This kind of thing has exceeded Wen Yuan's knowledge. She does not believe that there is such a powerful ability in the world.
Even if there were, it would probably not be their turn to look for this bead now.
Seeing Wen Yuan sneer at the Magic God Bead, Hesheng immediately explained: "This thing really exists, at least everyone in our family believes it, and I heard that the Magic God Bead does not only have this ability, and reversing time is only one of them. , but it seems that reversing time requires a high price, but as for what price..."
The way he hesitated to speak made Wen Yuan full of curiosity at the moment, "What? Isn't it written in your family records?"
"I wrote it, but the page disappeared." He Sheng opened the missing page and showed it to Wen Yuan. All the writing on it disappeared, leaving only a blank page.
But in the last year and month when another record was left, as soon as Wen Yuan's fingertips touched the last line of writing, the person was suddenly dragged into a memory.
That memory was more like a mess of broken memories put together. Wen Yuan covered his head as if it would explode at any time, "Huaiyan, my head hurts so much..."
After a while, the pain relieved on its own, and Wen Yuan also calmed down from his frenzy.
She began to stay away from the family journal, "I also want to ask you, if...if we can't get out, will we have to live here forever?"
"Yes, you can tell if you look at me. I have been here for decades, but I am still young. If it is really based on one hour outside and one year inside, then I am afraid we will be unable to get out. Stay here in boredom for hundreds of thousands of years."
Hearing what he said, Wen Yuan felt a little desperate. She could never stay in such a place for so long. "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now! Find a way out quickly and we won't have to waste time here soon."
But just as Wen Yuan was about to leave, He Sheng grabbed her and said, "Don't run around. Tonight is the night of the full moon, which is when those things are at their strongest. They are not even afraid of fire when the moon is full."
"What should we do?" If we are not afraid of fire... wouldn't everyone be in danger tonight?
But the man said to them with some pride: "Don't worry, I am a very powerful practitioner. I will protect you. When the time comes, I just need to set up a barrier around the camp."
Oh~ It turns out he is a very powerful practitioner. Wen Yuan looked at him with a half-smile, "Then we will all depend on you tonight." She patted the man on the shoulder, which made He Sheng excited. .
At dusk, Wen Yuan looked at the darkening sky and reminded He Sheng, "It's almost nightfall, you can start setting up the barrier."
At her reminder, the man set up a circle around the camp. The faint sky blue light made Wen Yuan couldn't help but reach out and touch it. He was indeed a cultivator, but he was not very powerful.
Seeing this, He Sheng stepped forward and talked to Wen Yuan, "How awesome is that? It would be difficult for ordinary people to set up such a large barrier all at once."
is it hard? Wen Yuan chuckled but didn't make a sound until Shen Huaiyan approached from the side and she immediately got into the man's arms, "It's a bit cool at night."
"I don't know who kicks the quilt off when sleeping at night." Shen Huaiyan raised his hand helplessly and scratched Wen Yuan's nose, "You often make it hard for me to sleep well."
Wen Yuan covered her nose and protested, "What? Why did I just kick the quilt off? Why didn't I know? Don't talk nonsense and accuse people of innocence out of thin air."
It turned out that the two of them were a couple, Hesheng suddenly realized, alas... He wanted to pursue Wen Yuan at first, but now it seems that it is impossible.
He looked at the man in front of him and thought to himself that he was really an outstanding man. Just standing there made people unable to take their eyes away.
Late at night, Wen Yuan did not fall asleep. After leaving the tent, she discovered that He Sheng was also awake.
She sat next to the man and asked, "Why are you sitting here alone? Aren't you bored?"
"Do you know why I can survive in such an extreme environment for so long?" For some reason, Wen Yuan always felt that something was wrong with Hesheng's mood.
Those souls could see their every move, which made Wen Yuan feel flustered, "Why?"
"Because I never sleep at night. I almost always sleep during the day. Listening to their voices, I can't sleep, and..." The man seemed to have made up his mind and looked at the fire in front of him in trance, "My ability is not It's not as powerful as I said. On full moon nights, I can only guard it like this to avoid any accidents in the barrier."
So that's it... Wen Yuan felt that this man was really honest, and even though they met by chance, she actually developed an inexplicable liking for him.
While the two were talking, they saw a large number of souls coming towards them. He Sheng immediately realized something was wrong and got up from the ground, "No, no, I have never seen so many angry souls... Hurry, hide in the tent." inside."
Looking at the soul floating rapidly in the distance, Wen Yuan also felt that things seemed to be beyond expectations. Seeing that the soul was about to break through the barrier, she pulled He Sheng behind her and said, "Stop talking."
As she released the powerful demon power, those souls that were close were washed away, while those that were far away stopped in place due to the power and did not dare to move forward. Wen Yuan used the demon power to strengthen the barrier, "Okay, this way They can’t get in.”
"You know magic...are you a demon?!" Hesheng was shocked, "and...with such a powerful ability, are you some sort of demon leader from the Abyss of Demons?"
Wen Yuan sat back down to his previous position, "Come on, sit down. Are you hungry? I'll make pancakes for you."
After taking out some dry food from his pocket and giving it to the man, Wen Yuan suddenly asked, "How do you solve the problem of food and clothing after living here for so long?"
"The dry food I brought was eaten up quickly. I looked for wild fruits that grew along the way to survive. There is also a unique bug here. It is very big. If you kill one, you can make it into dried meat and eat it for a long time, so You won’t go hungry either.”
The man's words made Wen Yuan feel a little sad, "Before you met us, you lived here alone like this for so long. Don't you... feel lonely?"
"Of course there will be times when I feel lonely, but as long as I think that I am passing on the family legacy, I can persevere."
Wen Yuan felt that the man's eyes were filled with endless hope and starlight when he said these words. She was very envious of the man's positive attitude.
