Chapter 260: The Future and the Present
"Twenty years ago, there were only two people in control of the Long family", Long Xi's eyes flashed with a fiery essence.
Tian Xiaoye said: "Two people?"
Long Xi nodded and said, "It's either Longteng or ...... Old man".
Tian Xiaoye couldn't help but exclaim: "Lord Long Zhan?"
Long Xi said in a deep voice: "It's either Long Teng or Long Zhan, except for these two, no one can dispatch the field service of the Dragon Guardian Clan, we have to rush back as soon as possible", and then, he took out the rune paper that was more and more difficult to understand the more he looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt, his eyes were cold, "What does it mean, what is the use of this rune paper, it is worth so many people's lives for it."
Tian Xiaoye stood up and hesitated for a while before saying, "Since it was twenty years ago, I can only ask the people of twenty years ago."
Long Xi stared at her, "Ono, it looks like we have to go back."
Tian Xiaoye nodded and said, "Well, I still know the priorities."
Long Xi couldn't bear to say: "That's ......."
Tian Xiaoye sighed deeply and said, "It seems that I am determined to be this unfilial girl."
Long Xi comforted: "Look, you're here again, didn't we say yes."
Tian Xiaoye said quietly: "Just let me and grandpa spend one more morning, how about we go at noon?"
Long Xi said: "Listen to you, although it is hot at noon, it is better than your cold heart."
Tian Xiaoye smiled a little sourly, "You are really a very nice person."
Long Xi grinned, "Then it's decided, you must stop blaming yourself."
In the dark of the night, they walked back, back to the cabin where they had stayed a long time ago.
Walking in, the house was still dilapidated, the wind blew in through the window, and there was a ping-pong sound.
Long Xi looked around, the broken bed he had slept on was neatly folded with quilts, as if he had been waiting for him to come back.
This made his eyes sour, whether it was happy or sad, it would always make people cry, because that was the part you lost, and you will never see it again.
What is time?
Is it real? Is there a ...... after there are people?
Everyone has made various explanations for the passage of time, but no matter what kind of poignant past, it is like a river, there is no return.
Is there really time to go and never return? Who defines the present?
No one will be able to answer, then:
The present can also be the past.
The past can also be the future.
Long Xi lay down on the wooden bed again, slowly falling asleep, the breeze blew the room extremely cool, and it was very pleasant to breathe such air.
His hand unconsciously rested on his chest, and unconsciously touched the very strange rune paper, the rune paper flickered, and a yellow shimmer flowed on it.
Long Xi's hand on top of his chest suddenly clenched, "What's it?"
He sat up and listened carefully, noticing nothing else.
"Is it a delusion", he shook his head, "Impossible".
Gently walked to the window and looked out, the moon was long gone, and it was even darker outside the sky.
"How so?", just as he was puzzled, the shirt on his chest flickered again, very faint, like a firefly.
"Is it a talisman?", Long Xi hurriedly took out the glowing talisman paper and squeezed it in his hand.
At this time, the rune paper dimmed again, and Long Xi was a little puzzled, "What's the matter?"
Pitch black night, pitch black rune paper.
Long Xi looked at it for a long time, and the rune paper no longer changed in any way, he slapped the table impatiently, and pressed the rune under his palm.
With a "ding" sound, it lit up, and the rune paper glowed again.
Long Xi hurriedly picked it up and watched, the rune paper would not only glow, but also display handwriting on it, this time it was not a difficult tadpole script, but a text that anyone could understand.
The words flowed, line by line: there were only three months left in the expiration date, and the battery could not be replaced.
"What do you mean, what is the battery", Long Xi leaned closer to the rune paper, carefully distinguishing the handwriting on it.
The rune paper flashed for a while, then extinguished again, and this time, no matter what method Long Xi used, it was not lit again, and in the end, only an endless mystery remained.
"What the hell is this?", Long Xi couldn't calm down now, was this a simple rune paper? He preferred to think that this was something with mana.
"Could it be that the group of Taoist priests ......", his heart suddenly became chaotic, "This thing actually glows, and actively displays words."
The more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.
"If this is a trick to cover the eyes......", he quickly denied this speculation, how can there be such a magical trick in this world.
"Not quite really," he didn't take long to dismiss any possibility, and people were at first terrified of things they had never seen, even though they seemed harmless.
At this time, Tian Xiaoye pushed open the door and walked in, lit a candle, and saw Long Xi sitting there motionless, clutching the yellowed talisman paper tightly in his hand.
Tian Xiaoye whispered: "What are you doing? Why don't you sleep?"
After calling several times in a row, Long Xi didn't respond, just like he was demented.
As a last resort, Tian Xiaoye had no choice but to approach and gently push him, and Long Xi suddenly snorted.
Turning his head to see that it was Tian Xiaoye, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's you, you want to scare me to death."
Tian Xiaoye snorted and said, "You scared me, you almost scared me to death."
Long Xi said: "What's wrong with me?"
Tian Xiaoye pursed his lips and said: "Like an evil spirit, I can't even wake up a few screams, do you think you want to scare me to death?"
Long Xi reacted, still looking like he was not giving up, and said, "Yes, I didn't mean to."
Tian Xiaoye walked up and touched his forehead, "Hey, I don't have a fever."
Long Xi said angrily: "You just had a fever, what did you just do?"
Tian Xiaoye said: "I, I just went to talk to my grandfather for a while."
Long Xi said: "He didn't sleep in the old man's house?"
Tian Xiaoye said: "The old man slept much later than us, but it's you, what are you busy with?"
Long Xi placed the talisman in front of her, frowned, and said, "Do you believe that this thing can glow?"
Tian Xiaoye suddenly showed excitement on his face, and said, "This talisman is shining, it's great."
Long Xi's brow furrowed even deeper, "It's okay."
Tian Xiaoye snatched the rune paper and looked at it carefully, "Doesn't this mean that there is mana on it?"
Long Xi sighed and said, "But I never believed that there was such a thing."
Tian Xiaoye pouted: "The world is so big that there are no wonders, and I have believed in the existence of ghosts and gods since I was a child."
Long Xi shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's different, once something in this world that can't be explained for the time being, we all attribute it to ghosts and gods, and that's too self-deceptive."
Tian Xiaoye tilted his head and said, "Then what do you want?"
Long Xi said: "Since this thing is in my hands, I will definitely have the opportunity to figure it out thoroughly."
