Green mountains and green waters, birds chirping and flowers fragrant.
In a deep valley at the foot of the Imperial City Dome Mountain, a simple wooden house is located in a dense peach forest.
A wisp of smoke rises slowly from the chimney on the roof.
Near the peach forest wooden house, countless ghostly figures occasionally flashed, and soon disappeared into the green shade.
inside the room.
After observing the furnishings in the wooden house, an extremely familiar feeling came to my mind.
Xue Yun shook his head and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You are still awesome, Uncle Zhong... Did you move your home in Yongze Town on the northern border directly to Hudu?"
Silently making tea.
Xuanyuan Zhong looked as usual, and he was still surrounded by various low-level wild freaks.
The person serving tea and water was very busy.
"I can't help it. I'm used to living in seclusion, and when I suddenly return to the imperial city, I still can't change some of my old habits, so I just moved them here with me."
He raised his hand and tapped the table.
A thief-minded "Shadow Rat" immediately walked out of the darkness, its huge eyes flashing and darkening, and respectfully filled the tea for the two of them.
"Old rules..."
Pushing the dark tea in front of Xue Yun.
Xuanyuan Zhong raised his eyebrows and said with a deep smile: "Drink this cup of tea first, and then talk about other things."
After being slightly startled, Xue Yun picked up the teacup.
Looking at the dark tea, there was indeed a layer of unknown substance similar to moss floating on the surface as always.
This time.
Xue Yun didn't hesitate, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
The next moment——
The slightly tipsy tea fragrance slowly spreads in the throat. Although it is still very sweet, it has less of an intoxicating aftertaste than before.
"How about it......"
Playing with the teacup in front of him.
Xuanyuan Zhong smiled bitterly, with a hint of loneliness appearing between his brows.
"Is it not as good as before?"
I couldn't help but laugh.
Xue Yun put down the tea cup and responded with a slight embarrassment: "Well, it's really a bit off."
He raised his head and let out a long sigh.
Xuanyuan Zhong had a wry smile on his face, raised his hand and waved lightly, and immediately a wild freak came forward to add tea and water to the two of them.
“A place of water and soil can support a person.”
Xuanyuan Zhong sighed helplessly as he shook his head.
"Although the environment in the northern border is harsh, it is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. There is no flattery and infighting, and everything is relatively simpler."
"But right now..."
An awkward smile.
The old man in front of him looked more aged than before, like an ancient tree in the forest that had stood for hundreds of years, giving people the illusion of being strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
"Undercurrents are surging inside and outside the imperial city."
He picked up the teacup in front of him again.
Xuanyuan Zhong shook the mouth of the cup until the tea became increasingly turbid before he slowly stopped.
"Even as a descendant of the Xuanyuan royal family, my return still makes many people feel uneasy. If the situation in Daxia were not unstable, I would rather stay in "Yongze Town" for the rest of my life, living in seclusion every day and living a better life.
A simple and stable life..."
It's rare to find someone you can trust.
Facing Xue Yun in front of him, Xuanyuan Zhong poured out the bitter water frantically.
In his words, he intentionally or unintentionally revealed his disappointment with the chaotic current situation of the Daxia Empire.
"In that case..."
He raised his head and glanced at the old man opposite.
Xue Yun asked coldly: "Why did you choose to come back in the first place?"
Startled slightly.
The tea cup in his hand was frozen in mid-air. Xuanyuan Zhong couldn't help but frown, and he was stunned on the spot.
"Corruption in officialdom and harsh governance are everywhere..."
He pondered for a moment.
Xue Yun said bluntly: "To be honest, I don't have a good impression of such a system at all. With such an overbearing imperial power and autocratic power, coupled with the strong separatism of princes in various places, it is really difficult for ordinary people to live well.
It’s too difficult.”
The apocalyptic wasteland era.
Every fortress city is crowded with many civilians who want to survive.
As for the outside of the city, it is densely populated by bloodthirsty and terrifying freaks.
The world is like this, and most of the time human life is not as good as an ant in the eyes of the powerful.
The meaning of many people's existence is just to continue the reproduction of the human race.
After all, in the face of a terrifying number of wild monsters, what human civilization needs is not civilization itself, but a social system that provides enough cheap labor under the guise of civilization.
"To exist is to be reasonable..."
Sighing with a wry smile, Xuanyuan Zhong said solemnly: "You are still young. One day, you will understand that this country needs the Xuanyuan clan, just as the Xuanyuan clan needs this country..."
Close your eyes.
Xuanyuan Zhong said with emotion: "The relationship between the two is always complementary, and one is indispensable!"
The two people's positions and views are completely different from each other.
In Xue Yun's heart, freedom, dignity and an equal attitude towards life are far higher than everything else.
But as Xuanyuan Zhong represents the ruling class.
The long-term peace and stable development of the Daxia Empire was the top priority he had been considering.
There is no right or wrong in the opinions between the two people, and they can never come up with a solution through discussion.
"This topic ends here..."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Xue Yun shrugged his shoulders and stopped dwelling on this issue. Instead, he took out the small ball that had been frozen for a long time from the system space.
"This is the main reason why I came to the Imperial City and Hudu to trouble you..."
The dragon egg in the palm of his hand was crystal clear, vaguely reflecting the outline of a dragon-shaped monster.
I couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Xuanyuan Zhong narrowed his eyes, and a hint of shock suddenly flashed between his brows.
"Life retrospective..."
I got closer and observed for a while.
Xuanyuan Zhongdongruo Guanhuo said: "This dragon freak should have self-destructed his blood dragon ball not long ago, and his consciousness and memory core were severely damaged..."
There was a pause.
Xuanyuan Zhong in front of him continued.
"Fortunately, it is a rare dragon monster with extraordinary talents, so its body instantly activated its emergency mechanism. After tracing its origin, its life trajectory began to regress to its original state. This itself is also a process of self-healing.
, It’s just a pity that it will lose all its memory and everything will start from scratch again..."
Life returns to its original state, and everything is refreshed and started again.
After losing her memory, Xuantian Dragon Girl will become a new dragon monster.
Everything she and Xue Yun have experienced over the years will become a thing of the past.
"Little Balls" will no longer be "Little Balls".
Instead, she will become the "Xuantian Dragon Girl" in the true sense, and she will no longer have any sense of belonging to Xue Yun.
"Is there any way to save it?" Xue Yun asked in a deep voice.
"have."
He pondered for a moment.
Xuanyuan Zhong said bluntly: "However, it is extremely dangerous."
