When Li Jiangyao and Xia Hou Ninghan came out of the Museum of Prehistoric Human Civilization, they realized that they had been inside for a whole day. By this time, the sun was almost setting.
Looking at the vast land that was dyed golden by the afterglow, Li Jiangyao suddenly had a very strange feeling.
He subconsciously looked at Xia Hou Ninghan beside him, and saw that she was also slightly lost in thought at the scenery in the distance, so he smiled and said, "Isn't it a bit... as if it's like a different world?"
Xiahou Ninghan and Li Jiangyao looked at each other and said in surprise: "How do you know that I am thinking about this word?"
"Because I think so too." Li Jiangyao smiled and said, "We have a good understanding."
For some reason, Xiahou Ninghan, who has always been a cold beauty, blushed easily today. When she heard Li Jiangyao say the words "heart to heart", she immediately lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Li Jiangyao again.
Just at this time, Li Jiangyao's stomach suddenly growled, and he patted his belly carelessly: "Oh, I'm hungry, let's..."
"Can we stay here one more night?" Xiahou Ninghan pleaded: "I want to see the night of this world again."
Of course, Li Jiangyao couldn't bear to brush her off, so he nodded and said, "Okay, time passes very slowly here anyway. Even if you stay a few more days, it won't delay things outside."
Seeing that he readily agreed, Xiahou Ninghan immediately laughed happily like a child. She naturally took Li Jiangyao's arm and said, "Let's go, let's take you to taste the wild fruits here. Yesterday I’ve tried it and it’s delicious.”
The two left the museum and returned to the flower path. Not far ahead, there is a lush fruit forest. Xiahou Ninghan stood up and jumped lightly among the shadows of the trees, her skirts flowing, like a fairy.
After a while, she returned to Li Jiang with a dozen wild fruits in her hands: "General, let's have a try."
Li Jiangyao laughed, took one and rubbed it on his body, then took a bite. As Xiahou Ninghan said, the fruit is crisp, juicy, delicious and very delicious. The two of them turned back to the boulder on the edge of the cliff and sat down side by side, tasting fresh fruits and looking at the scenery in the distance.
Night falls and the sky is filled with stars.
Li Jiangyao pointed to the distance and said to Xiahou Ninghan: "Have you seen the large ruins in the distance?"
Xiahou Ninghan nodded: "I noticed it yesterday. But as far as I can see, I feel that it is a bit far away from here, so I gave up the idea of going to find out."
Li Jiangyao sighed: "I guess it should be the relics left by the previous civilization. Judging from the size of the area, it should be a very large city. It's a pity that it was all destroyed by the war."
Xiahou Ninghan sighed softly: "Why do people like to fight so much? The Western Xinjiang rebellion and the Turkic invasion, in six years, half of the country was in ruins. And the last civilization, six years of war, actually destroyed the entire world Jiang Yao, we have established a splendid civilization and history, but we can't get rid of our warlike habits. Why is this?"
Looking at the dark remains of the city in the distance, Li Jiangyao said: "Struggle is originally human nature. You have also seen the beginning of the evolution of civilization. In that primitive and ignorant period, in order to survive, the ancestors of mankind had to fight with ferocious beasts. Struggle, fight against natural disasters, fight against disease, even if you lack courage and courage, you will not be able to survive the early years. It is precisely because of this that struggle has become a nature deeply imprinted in the human heart."
He paused briefly: "The spirit of struggle is not wrong in itself. However, some selfish people put their selfish desires above everyone and everything in the world, and use people's fighting nature to create conflicts and instigate disputes. It's like pouring grease on a firewood pile and throwing a torch on it. What's wrong with firewood? Used properly, it can cook, heat, and bring light to people. But if it's used in the wrong place, it can explode into the sky. Fire. Therefore, the real source of disaster is those insidious and selfish people in power. It is their selfish desires that push the world into the abyss of war time and time again."
Xiahou Ninghan nodded thoughtfully: "You are right. Xie Guang, Lao Jianhua, Ashina Zhijin, Huaiyang King Li Kuang, including the first Western Xinjiang princes who rebelled against the Holy Tang, they all He is such a person. His selfish desires have devoured humanity and provoked endless wars. Alas, sometimes I think about it and it feels really sad."
"Ninghan, there is no need to be too pessimistic," Li Jiangyao comforted: "In addition to struggle, human nature has a brighter side, which is to find seeds of hope in despair. In every war, countless heroes will emerge. Fearless people will challenge the initiators and culprits of the war. When the war is over, more kind-hearted people will stand up to rebuild their homes and reshape civilization, so that the fire of mankind can continue and shine with new brilliance. .”
Xiahou Ninghan, who has witnessed the history of human civilization with his own eyes, was deeply touched by Li Jiangyao's words and agreed: "You can always think about problems thoroughly. Jiang Yao, I finally understand why you can In the face of adversity surrounded by powerful enemies, you fight alone and create miracles that others can't even imagine. Because you are the one who finds the seeds of hope in despair."
Li Jiangyao smiled faintly: "Maybe, but it's not just me, my comrades and brothers are also like this. Including you, haven't you been looking for hope in despair?"
Xiahou Ninghan smiled sweetly and said: "I am very happy that you praise me so much. However, I hope that I can do more to rebuild our home after the war. The people are really suffering."
"Then we have made an agreement," Li Jiangyao looked at Xiahou Ninghan: "When the Turks are completely driven away, please join me. We will rebuild the Silk Road trade route and continue it to the Western Continent, so that the people along the way can The common people, whether in Jiangnan in the Central Plains or in the Ghost Desert of Western Xinjiang, all live a good life with plenty of food and clothing."
Hearing this, Xiahou Ninghan showed a happy smile, rested her head gently on Li Jiangyao's shoulder, looked at the stars in the distant sky, and murmured: "Okay, I promise you, together with you... …”
Li Jiangyao felt his heart wavering. After a while, he finally plucked up the courage and said softly: "Ninghan, I like you."
Xiahou Ninghan leaned against him quietly and said softly: "Jiang Yao, I like you too."
Li Jiangyao stirred up waves deep in his heart, but he did not move for fear of destroying the intoxicating and beautiful atmosphere at this moment. Looking at the distant stars, Li Jiangyao said: "Thank you."
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that Xiahou Ninghan also said: "Thank you."
The two couldn't help but were slightly startled, and then burst out laughing together.
Xiahou Ninghan stretched out her arm to hold Li Jiangyao's arm and asked, "What are you thanking me for?"
"What about you?" Li Jiangyao said with a narrow smile, "You tell me first."
Xiahou Ninghan raised his head and looked at Li Jiangyao who was close to Chi Chi: "Thank you for bringing me here. Ninghan will never forget it in his life."
Li Jiangyao looked at Xiahou Ninghan affectionately: "Actually, you brought me here. If you hadn't walked into the light curtain first, I would have been a little hesitant."
Only then did Xiahou Ninghan realize that Li Jiangyao took the risk to come here because he was worried about her, and he couldn't help but feel a little more love in his heart. She smiled mischievously and then asked: "You haven't said why you are thanking me yet?"
Li Jiangyao said softly: "Thank you for making my life different from now on. Just like these stars in the sky, they will shine for you for the rest of my life."
Xiahou Ninghan had never heard such love words before, and her eyes suddenly became moist. Li Jiangyao suddenly remembered something, took out an object from his arms, and raised it in front of her: "Give it to you."
Xiahou Ninghan looked carefully and saw that it was something like a gem, with a long metal chain attached to it.
She was a little curious: "What is this?"
"I got it from the museum today," Li Jiangyao explained: "While you were admiring the Dayu Phoenix Crown, didn't I go to the control room next to it, where I discovered a secret. The one in the lead mine cave The wall of light is not the Flower God Array, but the space-time gate left intentionally by the person who built this museum. And this thing is one of the keys to awakening the space-time gate."
Xiahou Ninghan was extremely surprised and listened to Li Jiangyao continue: "The space-time gate is activated by a strange biological capacitor. The capacitor energy storage is cyclical, and it can be fully charged every once in a while to activate the space-time gate. And the two The time in the two worlds is not synchronized. It passes fast here and slowly there. However, due to the transformation of time and space at the singular point of the light wall, the speed of time flow is reversed at that point. It can store energy for seven or eight days, but the light wall of the space-time gate needs decades. This key is an independent capacitor, which can provide short-term energy to the light wall, without waiting, it can wake up directly. "
Although Xiahou Ninghan didn't understand what "capacitance" was, what "singularity" was, and what "space-time conversion" was, she knew the meaning of the key and couldn't help but excitedly said: "That means we can come back at any time?"
"Yes," Li Jiangyao nodded: "Ninghan, I want to use this as a token of our love. One day, we can come back here again and try to continue civilization."
Xia Hou Ninghan smiled sweetly: "I will definitely cherish this gem necklace Jiang Yao gave me. Can you put it on for me yourself?"
Li Jiangyao agreed and put it on Xiahou Ninghan's neck: "Don't tell me, it looks pretty good."
Xiahou Ninghan lowered his head and admired it carefully, then suddenly realized: "No, since there is a time and space gate, didn't those people also go to the world of Shengtang?"
Li Jiangyao nodded slightly: "I have also considered this issue. However, they should be gone long ago. The villagers of Zili Wenbantimu have guarded the Liuguang Mountain wall for hundreds of thousands of years, which shows that those people are very important. Went there a long time ago.”
Xiahou Ninghan hummed, then gently snuggled into Li Jiangyao's arms, and said softly: "I really hope I can have the opportunity to meet them. Jiang Yao, for some reason, I feel like I have a particularly good impression of people in the future. "
Li Jiangyao hugged Xiahou Ninghan tenderly and said to himself: Ninghan, your feeling is right, because I am a person from the future.
Xia Hou Ninghan lay in Li Jiangyao's arms, looked at him affectionately, and asked: "Jiang Yao, what are you thinking about?"
Li Jiangyao came back to his senses, smiled and replied, "I want to kiss you."
I thought that Xiahou Ninghan would be shy and dodge after hearing this. Unexpectedly, the beautiful fairy stared into Li Jiangyao's eyes with a smile and asked softly: "Isn't this too fast?"
"Is it fast?" Li Jiangyao smiled and said, "We are traveling through thousands of years in one day, which is not fast anymore."
After saying that, he stared at Xiahou Ninghan and kissed her gently.
