glanced at the hourglass, and then Dongfang Shuo looked at his successor again.

"So, you're still here to kill me?"

"No one is going to kill you, but your life is going to run out. The successor said, "The sand in that hourglass is like your life, and it will be leaked out in an instant." ”

"Who decided the fate?" Dongfang Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm the most untrustworthy person." ”

After the words fell, he sat down on the coffee table.

Reaching out to pour tea, it doesn't look like a dying person at all.

"You don't believe me?"

The successor sat down across from him and asked.

Dongfang Shuo smiled: "Naturally I don't believe it." ”

"Which one?"

"Every sentence. ”

"Really?" said the successor, shaking his head, "it is a pity that the last quarter and half of your life will be wasted by yourself. ”

"Without any warning, why should my life end when the hourglass is gone?"

Dongfang Shuo looked at his successor and asked, and during the questioning, he also poured himself a cup of tea, and drank the tea after speaking.

The successor looked at him and said, "Because that's what happened." After the hourglass is finished, I will replace you, and the name of Dongfang Shuo will no longer belong to you, but to me. ”

"I really don't understand your words at all. Dongfang Shuo said, "Can you tell me more about it?"

"One last moment, I don't want to see the world much, but I want to ask these meaningless things?"

"I think it's very meaningful, much more meaningful than looking at the world," Dongfang Shuo said, "In this world, I don't feel any kindness." ”

The successor was stunned.

Then, he fell silent.

Yes, since he was born, he has not been cared for by his mother, and his stepmother, Mrs. Sun, has not dealt with him everywhere, and after leaving the Dongfang family at the age of eight, he can only quietly taste the warmth and coldness of the world on the Yuxu Peak, even if he is a genius, he is a lonely person.

Today, Dongfang Shuo, who is twenty-one years old, has never felt any kindness in this world, even if it is the first day of Qingzhou for thousands of years.

"Let's talk about it. ”

After glancing at the hourglass, the successor asked, "What do you want to know?"

"That's it...... Tell me who you really are. ”

Dongfang Shuo looked at his successor.

The successor looked at Dongfang Shuo and said, "I am you." ”

"Here we go again. ”

"It's a fact, and you have to believe it if you don't believe it. ”

"Okay, I believe it, then you go on, oh no, go on. ”

"As I said just now, when the hourglass is over, your life will be over, and I will be your successor, the continuation of Dongfang Shuo's existence, and I will continue to live as Dongfang Shuo in your place, and live until now. ”

"From half an hour later, to half a quarter of an hour ago?" What do you mean?"

"You don't have much time, so I'll make a long story short. Dongfang Shuo said, "In the next two years, I will do a lot of things as Dongfang Shuo, of course, sometimes I will pretend to be another identity to do things that cannot be done by Dongfang Shuo." ”

"Matryoshka dolls?"

"Sort of. The successor smiled, "And two years later, I went to Xuzhou as Dongfang Shuo." In Xuzhou, as Dongfang Shuo, I met many people and did a lot of things. And then I was killed by a god, or rather, I killed a god, and then I went two hundred years ago. ”

"The story is very creative," continued. ”

"Two hundred years have really come and gone. The successor said, "In the past two hundred years, no, it should have been two hundred and two years, I have really seen too many people, too many things, or I have seen almost everything in the world, except for one person. ”

"Who?"

"You," said the successor, "I have never met you in any case. Even if I started with your grandfather and gave you a pendant to keep your mother safe, I still facilitated your parents' marriage twenty years ago, and even I tried to save your mother, but I couldn't defeat cause and effect. These are all related to your existence, but I have never met with you. ”

"One is the real Dongfang Shuo, and the other is the successor. It would have been impossible for such two people to have any contact. The successor looked at Dongfang Shuo and said.

"It's a short, but heartwarming story. "Dongfang Shuodao," two hundred years, with a flick of a finger. If there really is such a life in the world, I would like to taste it. Speaking of this, Dongfang Shuo glanced at his successor, then at the hourglass, and said, "Unfortunately, according to what you said, my life is almost over." ”

"It's time to say goodbye, Dongfang Shuo. ”

The successor stood up and said.

"Yes," Dongfang Shuo also got up, "If it's really as you said." ”

"Even at the last minute, you still didn't believe what I said. Said the successor.

Dongfang Shuo lowered his eyes: "If it were you, and someone suddenly came to you and told you that you would die in less than a quarter of an hour, and there was no warning at all, do you think you would believe this kind of thing?"

"That's right. ”

The successor smiled.

Tuk-tuk.

"Master, I brought some refreshments. ”

Outside the door, the voice of Dongfang Sanbo came.

Dongfang Shuo turned his head and looked.

"Whether what you're saying is true or not, I thank you for telling me stories like this. Dongfang Shuo smiled, "Since you're here, let's have some refreshments." ”

But at this time, the successor glanced at the hourglass.

The hourglass is already in the end.

"There's no time left. Said the successor.

Dongfang Shuo also glanced at the hourglass.

"The hourglass matter, just let him go, my Dongfang's refreshments are a must in Sanyuan City, don't you want to try it?" Dongfang Shuo said.

The successor bowed his face and smiled at him.

"If you want it, then I can only accompany ......"

The last grain of sand of the hourglass, from top to bottom, fell below.

Squeak.

And at this moment, Dongfang Sanbo, who felt strange, also pushed open the door.

The door was wide open.

Dongfang Sanbo stood in place in a daze, holding the refreshments in his hand, looking at the room in front of him.

The room was empty, with only some ordinary calligraphy and paintings.

"Why should I bring the pastries to the courtyard where the Great Elder put his paintings?"

Dongfang Sanbo glanced at the pastry in his hand suspiciously.

So, he closed the door and turned away......

......

The years have flowed, and now they have turned back two hundred years.

On the land of Xuzhou, the Dragon King of Sanjiang broke the seal and came out, and after half a month, he broke into the mountain gate of the Buddhist temple.

After that, Daozong and the academy arrived successively, and fought with the Sanjiang Dragon King for three days and three nights, although the Sanjiang Dragon King was finally killed, the Daozong and the academy also suffered heavy losses.

The Buddhist Temple, on the other hand, completely lost all the power of the Mixed Yuan Period in that station, and finally withdrew from the ranks of the top forces in Xuzhou.

Since then, there have only been two schools in Xuzhou, Confucianism and Taoism, facing off against the Six-Nation Alliance.

Why the Six-Nation Alliance?

In the autumn harvest of the second year after the fall of Kuidou County, the Guihai Empire raised troops again, causing most of the Longlin Empire to fall in one fell swoop. Later, the Xiankui Empire, which was separated from the Longlin Empire by a mountain range, also joined the war, made an alliance with the Guihai Empire, and finally broke through the imperial city of the Longlin Empire in the midsummer of the following year after the war.

On that day, the city was full of fire.

Ji Zhaoning, who was slaughtered all over the house, was forced to the top of the Imperial City Stargazing Platform by two soldiers who plotted against her, and finally turned the Stargazing Platform into ashes along with her with a fire, and by the way, the two soldiers were also brought to the burial.

Since then, Longlin has been broken, and only six countries have been left in Xuzhou.

Based on the alliance between the Guihai Empire and the Xiankui Empire, the Six Kingdoms established the Six-Power Alliance to compete with Confucianism and Taoism.

Long years, a hundred years indefinitely.

The years have passed for a hundred years in a world without Dongfang Shuo and Ji Zhaoning.

The century-old changes in Qingzhou did not happen, but Taixuanzong, who had long been internally disliked, still inevitably fell apart, and the Langya Dynasty also used the excuse to attack the Tianyang Dynasty, and finally ended with the Tianyang Empire annexing the Langya Empire.

These years have always inadvertently changed the appearance of the world.

The rivers continued to flow, and the years finally came two hundred years later, Dongfang Shuo did not exist, and Du Qingxue guarded the world of Jade Void Peak alone.

Outside the boundary, a pair of eyes stared silently.

“...... System ......"

“...... System ......"

He seemed to be calling.

“...... System ......"

“...... System ......"

He didn't know how many voices had been exchanged.

“...... System ......"

I don't know how long it took to swap.

“...... ......" as the years progressed, he suddenly woke up, "System!" he roared.

"System!"

He roared again.

The sound seemed to echo throughout the realm.

"Master, I'm here. ”

Finally, a response emerged.

And at this moment, Dongfang Shuo's consciousness regained its form, and his body was once again fixed.

"I want to use all my and all the remaining points in exchange for one person, and I want one person to replace Dongfang Shuo at that moment!"

Oriental hysteria.

"Dongfang Shuo doesn't exist, master. ”

"No, he exists!" Dongfang Shuo roared, "I exist!"

"Yes, master. The system said, "Who does the master mean by a person?"

Dongfang Shuo is outside the boundary, looking at the land of Kyushu.

"Him. ”

His gaze pierced the boundary.

Through the clouds, through the earth.

He pierced the sea of clouds, the thick sea of clouds.

Beneath the sea of clouds, the neon-lit world, the world still covered by the pouring rain.

That's where the small world rests, the big world!

In the big world, a poor and innocent young man who was admitted to his mistake lost his existence at this moment, lost his existence in the big world.

And his existence came to Kyushu, to Sanyuan City, and to Dongfangjia.

came to a person who didn't exist, a person named Dongfang Shuo.

Years, dreams back.

Hourglass, down.

There was silence in the room, and the third uncle pushed the door in and delivered the pastry to Dongfang Shuo.

"Master, eat some. ”

Dongfang Sanbo said, "Miss will be back in three days, and the young master is going to ...... Stay for three days?"

“...... Huh?"

Dongfang Shuo looked confused......

......

A year and a half later.

The successor, the successor who has gone through two hundred and three years, he stands on a shore.

This is the northwest corner of Yuzhou, somewhere on the coast.

The waves washed over the cliff, and above the cliff, he was alone.

And on the other side of this sea is a door, a door to the true meaning of this world.

As long as he stepped through that door, all the causes and effects in the small world and Kyushu would be displayed in front of his eyes one by one.

The chaos of the small world, the continuation of the big world, will never cease after that.

But in front of the gate, there was a big snake. It's called Candle Dragon. Presumably, there will be a fierce battle after that.

At this moment, a young man in a white tiger robe suddenly appeared behind him.

"Is it done, fat cat?"

The successor did not look back, but asked quietly.

His voice seemed to be drowned out by the sound of waves crashing on the shore at any moment.

Ji Henghu said: "If it hadn't been done, we wouldn't have appeared here." He walked over to his successor and looked at the endless sea, "And, I've said it a million times, stop calling me a fat cat." ”

"It's been a hundred years, and it's not bad for a few times. The successor smiled.

After laughing, he became serious again, and muttered: "Then next, he is about to come into contact with the secrets of Qingzhou." ”

"Isn't he you?"

Ji Henghu said.

The successor smiled again: "Yes, he is me." ”

The successor turned back and at the same time took out the dragon's face mask and put it on his face.

Looking ahead, the road ahead is vast.

From now on, spring flowers and autumn moons, summer cicadas and winter snow will all be related to him, and they will all have nothing to do with him.

"You always like to do things against the people of the world, but everything is for the people of the world, why bother?" asked Ji Henghu.

"I've always been just for myself. ”

Dongfang Shuo smiled, "I just want the world to run as usual, I just hope that I can meet her at that time, so that everything can happen and everything has happened." ”

"His heart is clear to the light, but he has to face the darkness. ”

"This is my justice," Dongfang Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth, "but in their mouths, this is called evil." ”

"In that case, why don't you just become the worst person in the world in the open?"

Ji Henghu looked at Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo looked at Ji Henghu.

"Why?"

"Because...... I'm not a villain. ”

......
