"Because in the past few hundred years, many people like you came here, saying they wanted to help us defeat Qiongqi, and then they..."
"What happened to them?"
"They are all dead! They may have been swallowed by the yellow sand, or they may have been buried deep in the rocks, or they may have been torn into pieces by Qiongqi and fell into the world."
The man said with a smile, looking a little gloating about his misfortune.
Before Lin Nian could give a reaction, he hurriedly said:
"They all told me that our world is just a painting!"
"indeed so!"
Lin Nian said expressionlessly. He was wondering if the man in front of him cared about this matter. Otherwise, why would his face be so angry?
"I just rolled up from the scroll and came here."
The man snorted angrily, clenched his fist and slammed the table, saying with an angry expression:
"Have you ever thought that the world you live in may be just a painting in the eyes of people in another world?"
"Yes!"
When the man asked this question, Lin Nian suddenly became enlightened, his eyes flashing with light. He thought that everything was relative, and the real world he thought he lived in might not be real.
"You don't look too annoying."
The man's tone and expression softened slightly.
"Everyone of these people who came before had a self-righteous and arrogant face. They always felt that they were superior to us. You know how to reflect and accept than they do. They don't know that a moment in their eyes may be someone else's.
Thousands of years."
"A moment in my eyes, ten thousand years in others' eyes?"
Lin Nian muttered, chewing on this sentence in his heart, feeling that it was so philosophical.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Nian looked at the man and asked,
"According to what you said, the painting actually changes, but we can't see it."
"hehe!"
The man smiled,
"Boy, what's your name? I admire you very much. You are smart and understanding!"
"Lin Nian!"
"I am the Lord of Huangsha City, Ling Yu!"
Near noon, after having lunch with Ling Yu, Lin Nian put on a coarse cloth gown and went downstairs to the market alone.
Sure enough, after changing his clothes, Lin Nian no longer attracted any surprised and curious eyes from the locals.
When Lin Nian reached the intersection of an alley, a slender hand suddenly grasped Lin Nian's hand and directly pulled Lin Nian into the alley.
Lin Nian's eyes stood up in shock when he saw that the person dragging him into the alley was a girl he had never met before.
The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, petite and cute.
She is very different from the people living here. Her complexion is fair, and her face has no blush at all from the wind and sun.
"Girl, do we know each other?"
Lin Nian looked at the girl blankly and asked.
The girl's bright and pure eyes suddenly widened, she pursed her lips and shook her head, explaining:
"You don't know me, but I know you!"
Aren't you the weirdo who was taken away by the soldiers in strange clothes just now?"
Lin Nian looked embarrassed and nodded in admission, wondering why I looked like a weirdo?
After a pause, he asked: "Girl, what do you want to do by bringing me here secretly?"
Suddenly, the girl was wary, she let go of Lin Nian's hand, took a step back, and said nervously:
"You're not a womanizer, are you?"
"ah?"
Lin Nian was stunned, and mumbled helplessly with a sullen face: "You brought me to this alley. If you want to plot something evil, it should be you, right?"
The girl frowned and looked at Lin Nian with a scrutinizing gaze. After a while, she approached Lin Nian again, grabbed Lin Nian's arm and said urgently: "Come home with me!"
"go home!"
Lin Nian was stunned, thinking that the people in the world in this painting were too open-minded.
Regardless of whether Lin Nian agreed or not, the girl took Lin Nian's hand and ran wildly deeper into the alley.
A quarter of an hour later, the two came to an earthen house made of thick earth.
"This is my home."
The girl said.
When he walked to the door, Lin Nian suddenly shook off the girl's hand, thinking that this was just a world in a painting and everything was fictitious.
"Girl, I'm not the person you imagined!"
"Girl, you are young, why do you need to ruin your body and make yourself unclear?"
As she spoke, the girl's face turned red with embarrassment. After stamping her feet fiercely, she raised her right hand and twisted Lin Nian's left ear, saying angrily:
"You big pervert, what are you talking about? I've always kept myself clean. What do you think of me?"
"Ah!" Lin Nian was stunned, "In that case, why did you bring me to your house in such a hurry?"
The girl snorted, raised her foot and kicked her right leg hard, then pushed Lin Nian hard into the earthen house, and whispered in a hurry: "You'll know when you get in."
Inside the earthen house, there are only four walls and it is a little dark.
After pushing Lin Nian to a stool, the girl put her hands on her hips and ordered: "Sit down quickly!"
"Ah!" Lin Nian scratched his head. He had no choice but to sit down and wonder, was she going to press my feet?
After sitting down, the girl couldn't help but slap Lin Nian's shoulder with her hand and scolded severely:
"You bastard, you think of me as someone who is obviously innocent and pure..."
The girl had a sullen face and said no more.
"Girl, what's your name? You still haven't told me what you brought me here for?" Lin Nian looked at the girl in confusion and asked.
Suddenly, the pupils in the girl's eyes narrowed several times, and her tone was deep, "When you went to the main building to meet the city lord today, did he tell you about Qiongqi?"
Lin Nian nodded.
The girl shook her head and said, "Don't go looking for Qiongqi!" This chapter has been completed!
