Chapter 253: The homeland is no more
"Bang dang!"
Cheng Yun filled the pot with water and put it on the stove, and lit the fire again.
He plans to cook some dumplings to eat this morning, and when the time comes, he will scoop up the dumplings with a colander and drain the water, and then grab some pickles while cooking, and make two dipping dishes and two cold side dishes to add flavor, it seems that Tang Qingying's people love to eat like this.
With a brush, little Lori jumped on the stove, squatted down by the sink, and stared at him without blinking.
The little mage was pestled behind him, dumbfounded, and kept muttering -
"Kunzhen, Kunzhen ......"
"Kun Zhen ......"
"Kun Zhen ......"
It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he stared at Cheng Yun in disbelief: "Have you met Kun Zhen!?"
Cheng Yun adjusted the dipping plate and didn't reply: "Yes." β
"He's still alive?!"
"yes, good spirits. β
"This, this ......" The little mage wanted to say that it was impossible, but when he thought that it was Kun Zhen, he felt that there was nothing impossible in this supreme sage, but the shock in his heart still couldn't stop, "He...... He broke the shackles of life!!Sure enough, he is a great sage who transcends the entire civilization!"
"Breaking the shackles of life?"
"That's it...... He should have died hundreds of years ago, no one can live that long, no one ...... Except for those immortals, the humans who have lived the longest so far have only lived for more than eight hundred years......" The little mage still opened his eyes wide and muttered blankly, "He has disappeared for hundreds of years, everyone thought he had fallen, and even mourned him, I cried when I read his biography, but I didn't expect him to be alive......"
As he spoke, the little mage's eyes were already red, and his sockets were moist, and he seemed to be extremely excited.
Cheng Yun stirred the dipping dish with chopsticks, and then put it in his mouth to smash it, after adjusting the dish that was not spicy, he was going to add a spoonful of oil and spicy seeds to make a stack of spicy ones, and at the same time said: "He just traveled to different worlds." β
After a pause, the corners of his mouth curled again: "But he went back a few months ago, and you just said that you have mourned him?"
The little mage's eyes widened again: "He's back?"
"yes. Cheng Yun nodded and said, thought about it and shook his head, "No, I think that with his kind of heart, even if I go back and hear about your condolences to him, I will be very calm." β
"......" the little mage wanted to cry without tears, "he went back, but I came, I am so ......"
"Nothing to be frustrated about, he ...... He has come to the end of his life, and this time he will go back ......" Cheng Yun was a little silent, "He shouldn't leave that world again, so if that world knows the news of his return, even if you go back in a year or two, he will still be there." But from what I knew about him at that time, it is likely that he will only return to his homeland and spend the last period of silence in that land, and you will not see him when you go back. β
"That land, on the shores of Yanhu Lake?"
"You even remember this?"
"Of course!" the little mage's voice was a little hoarse, "he is the sage who opened the curtain of modernity, the great man who ended the feudal era, the pioneer of modernization, and the supreme sage who is respected by all our learners......"
"That's right. Cheng Yun nodded, so there must be a requirement to memorize it in the history textbook, right?
"But...... Wild Goose Lake is gone. The little mage said in a deep voice, "I've seen the news. β
"No?" Cheng Yun paused, "What does it mean that there is no more?
"Yes, Yanhu was later used as a fleet station for the Slan Republic, but it was defeated by the Mesot Federation in that war two hundred years ago. Space cluster cannon hits head-on...... The salt, water, and dirt had been completely vaporized, and now there was only one giant crater. The little mage was stunned, as if he felt great sorrow, and then muttered, "The great sage who pioneered the modern era has returned home, but he can no longer find his hometown......
Cheng Yun was also silent when he heard this, and he said for a long time: "He won't care about this." β
The little mage was very firm: "I care!
Cheng Yun narrowed his eyes.
It seems that even after so many years, the old man's status in the hearts of the people in that world is still very lofty-I think about it, the old man has endured so much in those two hundred years, and if the latecomers don't remember the contributions of their predecessors, what is the meaning of the existence of civilization?
He lowered his head and continued to mix the spices in the dipping plate, feeling very heavy inside.
The old man, who had been wandering for hundreds of years, finally returned to his original world, but it was already a vicissitude of life, civilization had become strange, and his homeland no longer existed......
Maybe with the old master's temperament, he may be more open to these things than a young man like Cheng Yun.
Perhaps all he could do was let out a long sigh and turn away, looking for a new place to rest.
Alas......
Little Lori was still sitting upright next to her, watching Cheng Yun's movements seriously.
It doesn't know what the sages are not interested in, and it doesn't know it! In its eyes, it only has the king of the snow, and the king of the snow is the greatest and most powerful creature in the world!
Well, except for the seemingly powerful Plane Master......
The little mage still stood against the wall in a daze, as if he hadn't recovered yet, occasionally raising his hand to wipe his red eyesβ
The High Sage stood up during the most chaotic of times, but when people ushered in a new era, he did not enjoy the rights he should enjoy, he simply unloaded his burdens and continued to do what he wanted. And what did the people who enjoyed the new era and new life bring him...... Could it be the sculpture that stands in front of the United Nations office building?
After a while, he asked, "How long has he been here?"
Cheng Yun said while accommodating the preserved eggs with green peppers and seasonings: "About two months." β
"Two months......" the little mage muttered, "when did he leave?"
"A few months ago. β
"A few months ......" the little mage was silent, if only he could have come to this world earlier, no wonder he could see that the magic circle of this hotel came from their world, and felt that some of the methods were ancient and backward, and some of the concepts were too contradictory, and it turned out to be the handiwork of the Supreme Sage.
"yes. Cheng Yun nodded, casually cut a cucumber and handed it to the little Lori next to him, and said while cutting the remaining cucumbers, "He is the first person I have seen from another world, at that time I had just fused the space-time node, I didn't know anything, he made me take a lot of detours...... I've grown a lot in other ways as well. In fact, even if he didn't have the power of spells, I would still think he was a great sage. β
"yes...... I have read about him in many books, and he is such a man, a figure destined to exist in legends and epics...... "and if I could meet such a character, I would have no regrets in my life......"
"I have a photo!" Cheng Yun said, seeing that he seemed to be very interested in the matter of the old master, so he said, "I can tell you about him in detail when I have time, but now you can help me fish out the dumplings first, they are already cooked." β
"Oooh!"
