Chapter 4: A Thousand Years Later
Lin Lang shook his head in disbelief.
"They must be lying to me! yes! they must be lying to me!"
How can it be!
This year should be 146955!
In 14695, he and Luo Jinyin said goodbye to their parents and stayed away from their hometown, and both bowed to the Suzaku Gate. How did they wake up from the bottom of the cliff and a thousand years have passed? They must be joking!
"Tell me quickly! Where is the Vermilion Bird Sect! Quick!"
Lin Lang grabbed the collar of the passer-by and yelled loudly.
The passer-by uncle only thought he was a psychopath, and pointed to the east with his finger: "Well, go all the way to the east, and you can walk there without a stick of incense." ”
Lin Lang put down the passer-by and hurriedly ran to the east.
It didn't take long for a huge mountain gate to come into view.
This is a mountain gate cut from marble stone. Fire marble is a spirit stone used to practice fire-based exercises, although it is not rare, but for rookies who are just getting started, it is also a treasure that cannot be found.
What's more, a piece of fire cloud as big as a mountain gate is even more of a handiwork that only the Vermilion Bird Sect can hold.
"Suzaku Sect. ”
The three dragons flying and dancing are engraved on the mountain gate, even if they are far away, you can feel the temperature from the mountain gate. It is a familiar feeling!
"The sect is really still there!"
Lin Lang was overjoyed, the mountain gate of the sect was the same as before.
But then he frowned deeply, and the environment around the mountain gate had changed too much.
The Xuan tree that was originally planted here has become extremely tall, and there are several pavilions on the south side of the mountain gate that were not there before, and there seems to be a river on the west side that has never appeared. Even the three big characters engraved on the mountain gate look like they have not been renovated for a long time.
Here, will it really be your previous sect......
With a nervous mood, Lin Lang came to the mountain gate.
"Stop!"
The two disciples guarding the door with their spears crossed and blocked Lin Lang's way.
"The Vermilion Bird Sect is not allowed to enter without permission!
Lin Lang bowed down and said: "In Xia Lin Lang! It's an outer disciple who has just started! I fell off the cliff a few days ago, and I was delayed for a few days, and then I found it back!"
"Lin Lang, outer disciple, why haven't I heard of this name?"
The disciple guarding the mountain gate looked at Lin Lang suspiciously, without any impression in his mind.
Lin Lang was also stunned, but he had an idea and took off the space bracelet on his hand.
This is a bracelet issued by the Vermilion Bird Sect to each disciple for storage, and there is a space the size of half a room inside, which is used to store weapons and elixirs on weekdays. The bracelet is engraved with fiery red flowing clouds, and this bracelet is also a symbol of the status of a disciple of the Vermilion Bird Sect.
"Senior brother, this is the space bracelet that Elder Xin sent me a few days ago. ”
Lin Lang said and handed over the space bracelet.
The disciple of the Mountain Guarding Sect was obviously stunned, took the bracelet, and said in a daze: "I said boy, are you kidding?
The disciple guarding the mountain said, raising the storage ring on his right hand: "See, this is the token of our Vermilion Bird Sect." Besides, don't say that we are the Vermilion Bird Sect, the forty-eight countries in the Southern Regions, I have never heard of any sect that uses storage bracelets. Aren't you from ancient times?"
In the cognition of the disciples guarding the mountain, as early as three hundred years ago, everyone abandoned the space bracelet and turned to refining the storage ring with fewer materials, and the space bracelet left over from before had long been recycled and recast.
"And we in the Vermilion Bird Sect don't have an elder surnamed Xin. ”
Lin Lang froze, he banged his head hard, trying to wake up from the dream quickly. But the pain in the head shows that this is the reality!
If you want to enter our Vermilion Bird Sect, there is still a chance, and in a few days it will be the day to recruit disciples, and this year the sect will expand the number of disciples, and you still have a chance. ”
The disciple guarding the mountain patted Lin Lang's back, just thinking that he was a person who was eager to worship the sect.
"Thank you, brother...... Senior brother, can you tell me how many years it is now?"
Holding the last glimmer of hope in his heart, Lin Lang stared at the eyes of the mountain guarding disciple and asked seriously.
"This year, this year is the year 15573. ”
Airplanes!!!
This sentence was like a huge hammer, hitting Lin Lang hard in the back of the head.
I...... It's really a thousand years later.
If Lin Lang didn't believe it before, now he can only admit it. The senior brother who guarded the mountain had no reason to lie to him.
When he looked around again, he finally understood why he was surprised.
It was an ancient man a thousand years ago, and he was out of place in the face of the world a thousand years later.
didn't have time to think about what was going on, Lin Lang's mind was filled with extreme loneliness and sadness.
It's been a thousand years since I woke up. Then my father and mother, as well as the girl who has always occupied my heart, I am afraid that they are all gone.
So what's the point of my life in this world?
Lin Lang couldn't help but ask himself.
I drove thousands of miles to the Vermilion Bird Sect in order to learn a skill, so that my parents could live a good life, so that they would no longer be bullied, so that I could straighten my back and confess to Luo Jinyin, and marry her home in a beautiful way.
And now?
Nothing.
Relatives, friends, love, everything that I have lived for more than ten years is all gone...... It's all gone.
Lin Lang didn't care about talking to the disciples guarding the mountain anymore, and staggered down the mountain step by step.
Is this the price to be paid for the continuation of life?
Maybe he should have been a dead man.
Lin Lang now thought of everything that had happened before.
was slapped like that by the tiger palm of the spirit tiger, and fell off the cliff, where is there a reason not to die?
But he was alive and well! and there was no scar on his body! and...... It's a millennium later.
Lin Lang didn't care about the happiness that he survived, only full of sadness.
If this is the price of resurrection, then I, Lin Lang, would rather not!
Lin Lang sat by the river, with endless confusion left in his eyes.
......
Crescent City, this is also one of the closest towns to the Suzaku Sect. The changes in the millennium are too great, and Lin Lang can only go back the same way, preparing to find a restaurant to live in.
"Is this a windfall? ”
Lin Lang walked out of a pawnshop with a heavy bag of silver in his hand.
He had never taken so much money since he grew up, and this money was exchanged for copper coins by Lin Lang thousands of years ago.
Copper coins from a thousand years ago are naturally some old antiques now. When Lin Lang had just placed a few hundred copper coins on the table, he almost didn't scare the pawnshop owner's eyes.
In the end, the two closed the deal at a price that was satisfactory to both parties. And Lin Lang also felt that he was so rich for the first time. In the past, it was rare to see even broken silver at home, and even after arriving at the sect, the silver issued by the sect was only two taels per month. Originally, all the remaining money was used by Lin Lang to buy new clothes.
Then Lin Lang went to the bookstore to buy a few more books and walked around to the front of a small restaurant.
"Yo, guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
The shopkeeper ran over with a probe in his head.
"Stay in the hotel, and by the way, bring me two plates of cooked beef and a pot of tea. ”
"Okay! Guest here, please!!"
The shopkeeper enthusiastically led Lin Lang to the second floor, and did not forget to talk to Lin Lang familiarly.
"Guest, you came too soon, and the last room in the shop is just left. Recently, there have been a lot of young people who have come to the assessment, and our store is full for the first time!"
"Assessment, are they all people who came to participate in the assessment of the Vermilion Bird Sect?"
"That's right, there will be seven more days of assessment and it will officially begin, in previous years, I couldn't see such a lively scene, and I couldn't catch up with the good things of the Vermilion Bird Sect's expansion!"
Dian Xiaoer sighed, worshipping the immortal gate, that is everyone's dream, but it's a pity that not everyone has the talent for cultivation.
Lin Lang bowed slightly. I had also heard that swarthy young man say before, what is the centennial celebration this year, and the Vermilion Bird Sect will expand its disciples. But I don't know if I can enter the Vermilion Bird Sect again with this talent.
Lin Lang's heart was faintly throbbing.
It's better to settle down first, and then find out what happened to you......
