"What are you doing?"
A few days later, Shi Cheng, who had regained his strength, saw Li Yi sitting quietly at the door and asked this question.
"Are you worried?"
Li Yi was noncommittal.
What could he say? Said that his gatekeeper boss was robbed?
I asked my friend to form a team with me to grab the boss. The opponents are a group of bosses with the lowest dominator level. It is enough for us to fight three dominators each.
Are you kidding?
Therefore, Li Yi just smiled faintly and did not speak.
Shi Cheng is very enthusiastic, perhaps because he has stimulated his bloodline ability. At this time, he is more powerful than before.
"If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me. We are comrades who have fought together. As long as I can help, you might as well just tell me."
Li Yi forced out a smile.
"No, I didn't think about anything."
"Say it!"
"No need really."
"I just said you don't have to be polite to me, just tell me."
"Well, follow me to destroy those abandoned sons of heaven and snatch back the ferocious beast Taotie."
"...."
Shi Cheng's smile froze in the air.
"Are you... kidding?"
"No, you asked me to say it."
"Ahaha, haha, you are so funny. The weather is so nice today."
Li Yi silently glanced at the drizzling weather and rolled his eyes.
Brother, do you want to see what you are talking about? I told you not to ask.
Okay, are you embarrassed now?
"What are your plans next?"
After thinking about it, Li Yi decided to take the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere and asked.
Shi Cheng smiled helplessly.
"What other plans can I have? Is it really like you said, to go find those abandoned sons of heaven to snatch back the gluttonous food? Then I have to make preparations first."
Li Yi was curious, did he have any other good ideas?
"Oh? What preparations?"
"Go back and find a way to find a wife."
"ha?"
Seeing the confusion on Li Yi's face, Shi Cheng forced out a bitter smile.
"If I get married and have children, my bloodline will continue, and then I can die."
Li Yi:...Okay, you win.
At this point, he couldn't refute anything. He couldn't say, you are right, why don't you take me with you when you are looking for a wife, so that I can keep my bloodline.
If this were to happen, there would be no need to clear the level of this dungeon. We might as well just stay there.
Then there was another awkward silence.
This time, the first person to break the silence was Shi Cheng.
"How about you come with me to look through the ancient books? Maybe there may be some solution in them."
Li Yi looked at Shi Cheng.
"What do you mean? Defeating a power many times more powerful than yourself?"
"That kind of method is impossible!"
"What do you mean?"
Shi Cheng raised his head, as if he had made up his mind.
"According to the rules, I cannot bring outsiders into the ancestral land, but in this situation, if the rules are broken, then break them."
Li Yi looked at Shi Cheng in astonishment, and found that there was a look of helplessness on the other person's face, and there was also a trace of determination in it, which was a kind of aura that would break the cauldron and sink the boat.
Then he nodded vigorously.
"Okay, if there is something, I believe I will find it."
Shi Cheng didn't say much, just waved his hand.
"Then come on."
The ancestral land that Shi Cheng mentioned was not far from Linshui Town, and it only took the two of them a few hours to get there.
According to Shi Cheng, he originally just wanted to return to his ancestral home and pass by Linshui Town, but he didn't expect to encounter such a big thing.
Shipo Village, this is what Shi Cheng calls his ancestral land. Although it is called a village, in fact no one lives here. It is just a deserted and remote gathering place.
According to Shi Cheng, this place was abandoned more than ten years ago. All the former Shi family members have left this village that has existed for thousands of years, and his clan members died in a fire ten years ago. In the midst of famine.
He was lucky enough to be picked up and adopted, and when he grew up, he finally found his birthplace based on the imprints left on the infant who adopted him.
That is Shipo Village.
The village is not big.
The abandoned village looks like an ancient town abandoned by time, with streets that were once full of life and energy now empty. The houses and buildings in the village looked dilapidated by the ravages of time, with the roofs of many houses having collapsed and the walls covered with vines and moss.
Walking on the streets, you can see some ancient buildings with tiles and stained glass on their facades, but they are now broken, leaving only incomplete bricks and fragments. There is an ancient well in the square in the center of the village. Its water has dried up and the surrounding stones have begun to crack.
In this deserted village, there are no signs of life, only the sound of wind and the rustling of fallen leaves. Some houses still have remnants of furniture and old appliances, but they have been destroyed by time and decay.
This abandoned village seems to have been forgotten, no one comes here anymore. It is just a memory of the past. Its dilapidation and loneliness remind people of those once glorious times, but now only desolation and loneliness remain.
After passing through a winding path and a bamboo forest, the two came to a heavy gate closed by a rusty lock. The traces of time were clearly visible on the gate.
But what is surprising is that in this village full of antiques and signs of dilapidation, Li Yi discovered a "high-tech" product on this gate that should not have appeared here.
Seeing Li Yi staring at that thing with concentration, Shi Cheng took the initiative to introduce it.
"This thing was actually obtained in the ancestral land. I don't know which team leader installed it on the door. Don't tell me, this thing is surprisingly useful."
As he spoke, Shi Cheng ignored the huge copper lock and directly pressed his fingers on the thing that was seriously inconsistent with this era.
After a while, the red light turned on, the door slowly opened, and the inside of the door instantly became brightly lit, as if to welcome them.
Shi Cheng originally wanted to see surprise in Li Yi's eyes, but he didn't expect that Li Yi's expression didn't change all the time, which made him feel surprised.
"Have you seen this?"
Li Yi nodded, looking calm.
"Um."
This thing was so ordinary to Li Yi that he didn't even bother to pretend to be surprised.
Yes, that thing is actually a fingerprint password lock.
"Well, it seems you come from a world I couldn't imagine."
Shi Cheng helplessly spread his hands and walked straight in.
"Let's go and show you the glorious history of our family."
Perhaps no outsider has ever been to the ancestral land of the Shi family, and Shi Cheng seemed very excited. This may be him, or he may be the first outsider to enter the ancestral land of the Shi family in the history of the Shi family.
Another incident happened during this period, which also gave Li Yi a new understanding of the Shi family's ancestral land.
"How did you do that? I've actually already figured out how to let you in."
Shi Cheng looked curious.
Just now, when Li Yi was about to follow Shi Cheng into the gate of the Shi family's ancestral land, a rapid siren suddenly sounded.
That was a sign of an intruder.
It wasn't that Shi Cheng wanted to embarrass Li Yi, but that he had actually already thought of how to deal with this situation.
It's easy to say, just blood certification is required.
Just when Shi Cheng wanted to ask Li Yi to do so, he found that the alarm had stopped, and Li Yi walked in directly without triggering the alarm again.
Li Yi didn't answer, just shrugged, thinking that as a person who carries a system with him, if he can't even handle such a simple anti-theft system, can he still be the person you say comes from a world that is incomprehensible?
Shi Cheng was not entangled, and he didn't care when Li Yi didn't answer. Instead, he introduced his ancestors with great interest, and at the same time, he also brought out some ancient texts that he thought might have clues.
The ancestral land of the Shi family is not large. Except for some ancient cultural relics handed down from ancient times, it is an introduction to the deeds of the entire Shi family.
Since they are all written by the Shi family in the past dynasties, they have extremely high reference value. Although some of the deeds may be exaggerated, they basically reflect the living conditions of the Shi family in various periods.
Except for the distant ancient times.
This was also the period during which the two of them conducted their main research.
