Chapter 4: Five Hundred Years Ago
"Brother Ye Yun, Brother Ye Yun, this magic weapon you made, can it really be used even by mortals?" A cheerful voice asked Ye Yun, who was buried in the complex drawings. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This is not called a magic weapon, this is called an electric motor, how many times have you said it, you little fool!" As he spoke, Ye Yun stretched out his big black hand full of engine oil, and pinched it on the face of a little girl with double sideburns, and immediately left two dark marks on the little girl's face.
"Who said I was stupid, Brother Ye Yun bullied people!" The little girl was dissatisfied with Ye Yun's name for her, and as for the black mark that Ye Yun wiped on her face, she didn't care at all.
"Okay, good, our little dragon girl is the smartest." Ye Yun said perfunctorily, and then continued to bury himself in making electric motors.
"Brother Ye Yun, Brother Ye Yun, can we really go to the stars to mine in the future?" After a while, the little girl couldn't help but ask.
"Of course you can, when you grow up, Xiaolongnu, my brother will take you to the moon to play, okay?" Ye Yun said the words that didn't come true later, but he didn't know this at all at this time.
"Good! Say yes! Brother Ye Yun is not allowed to speak, it doesn't count! The little girl smiled and made this agreement, and in the next five hundred years, she had been to the most remote cosmic black hole verification exercises, and had also expeditioned thousands of light years away to foreign lands, but she had never reached the moon that was close at hand, even if it was already a distance from her doorstep at that time! Because the person who had agreed to take her to the moon was no longer there.
"Brother Ye Yun, Brother Ye Yun, will I marry you when I grow up?" The little girl said with a sweet smile.
"Okay, well, I'll talk about it when you grow up!" Ye Yun, who completely regarded it as a child's whisper, was perfunctory.
"Oh, no, Brother Ye Yun, you are going to marry Sister Peach Blossom, then I will be your concubine!" Just a few seconds later, the little girl repented and said.
"Who said I was going to marry your Peach Blossom sister? We're not that kind of relationship at all, are we? Ye Yun said helplessly.
"Brother Ye Yun, I want to eat egg tarts again, will you make them for me at night?" The little girl turned a deaf ear to Ye Yun's helplessness, and directly jumped the topic, or the child's thinking always jumped, and she thought of other places in a blink of an eye.
"Okay, I'll make it for you at night, you are a snacker, you know how to eat it every day." Ye Yun's tone was full of pampering.
The little dragon girl was smiling, obviously enjoying the feeling of being pampered.
The crowd of people in the square, some people stopped to watch the news broadcast on the large monitors, and some people hurriedly walked by.
Ye Yun didn't slowly recover from a complex emotion until the figure of the little dragon girl, or the holy dragon goddess on the monitor, disappeared.
"It's different, it's really different, has the little girl at the beginning grown to this point? Now if she recalls the original Tong Yan Wuji, I'm afraid she will feel very embarrassed! Ha ha! Thinking of that picture, Ye Yun couldn't help laughing, but it only attracted the inexplicable attention of others.
Ye Yun didn't care, but walked through the square and continued to stroll leisurely, and soon he came to the more and more prosperous city center.
Skyscrapers stand one after another, shopping malls are closely connected, pedestrian streets are crowded with people, and some half-human-tall spar golems are active in them, constantly cleaning up the garbage on the ground.
It was obviously an extremely noisy street, but Ye Yun suddenly had a sense of alienation, which was his sense of alienation from the world.
Where the hell is this? Earth? No, it's not, it's a world of cultivating immortals.
However, it is obviously a world of cultivating immortals, but because of me, it has become so similar to the earth, is this right or wrong?
Where do I belong? Belonging to the earth thousands of years ago? Or does it belong to that era five hundred years ago?
Do I really belong to the present?
Ye Yun, who was pacing on the pedestrian street, was confused.
And at this moment, a familiar sound of music suddenly came from a video store next door, which was a song that Ye Yun liked very much when he was on the earth thousands of years ago, and it was also a song that Ye Yun often sang five hundred years ago!
"I have crossed mountains and seas, and I have also crossed mountains and seas.
I used to have everything, and it was like smoke in the blink of an eye.
I was lost, disappointed, lost all directions.
Until you see the ordinary, the only answer.
I had ruined everything I had and just wanted to leave forever.
I was once in the darkness and struggled to extricate myself.
I used to be like you, like him, like the weeds and wild flowers
Desperate, longing, crying and laughing. ”
An ordinary road, which spanned thousands of years, was sung in a place that is not many thousands of light years away from the earth.
And Ye Yun frowned and listened carefully to the singing voice, which seemed to be his own voice five hundred years ago.
So with doubts, Ye Yun walked into the video store.
"Hello, may I ask what this song is?" After Ye Yun greeted politely, he asked a shopkeeper who looked a little old!
"Oh, hello! Interested in this song? The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man who is very kind-hearted, and said with a smile at Ye Yun.
"yes, it's a very special song, can you ask who sang it?" Ye Yun pretended to be curious and asked.
"Haha, sure enough, few young people nowadays know about it? You know, when the song was first released decades ago, it was a smash hit, and you would never guess who sang it. The shopkeeper said with a look of a seller.
"Oh? Who sang it? Ye Yun immediately cooperated and made a curious expression.
"Haha, this song, but Yuan Sheng sang it himself." The shopkeeper said with a triumphant expression.
"Yuan Sheng sang? How is this possible? Ye Yun pretended to be surprised and cried out.
"You want to say that Yuan Sheng was no longer there five hundred years ago, how could it be possible to release a record a few decades ago, right?" The shopkeeper seemed to have seen too much of this expression, so he explained with a smile.
"Yes, is there any reason here?" Ye Yun said curiously.
"Of course, there is a reason, it is said that the old man Yuan Sheng was very fond of singing back then, and he often sang to others, especially the two adults of the Peach Blossom Fairy and the Holy Dragon Heavenly Maiden, who have heard the most songs of the old man Yuan Sheng! So they would occasionally secretly record the songs sung by the Yuan Sheng with magic weapons! And then a few decades ago, the Holy Dragon Heavenly Maiden sorted out the songs that Yuan Sheng sang back then, and then released a record! This matter was very popular for a while back then, after all, who wouldn't want to be able to hear the singing of the Yuan Sheng with their own ears? It's a pity that it's only been a few decades, and few young people today know about it. The shopkeeper explained happily, and then couldn't help but complain about the young man.
"I see! Can you sell me this record? Ye Yun nodded and asked.
"I'm sorry little brother, this record is my treasure, and it's out of print for a long time, and I only take it out occasionally to listen to it, and it's impossible to sell it to you, I'm really embarrassed." The shopkeeper said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's me who is abrupt." Ye Yun was a little regretful, but he still smiled and nodded at the shopkeeper before turning around and preparing to leave.
At this time, the sound of the music also changed from the ordinary road to a song "five hundred years ago".
"I opened my eyes for the first time
The sky is high and the sea is wide, and I am in the middle of the world
I want to go to the farthest sky
but they cannot touch the boundary between heaven and earth
Close your eyes one last time
Exhausted and wanting to go back five hundred years
The river of time does not have calm waters
I knelt by the river
But I couldn't see the original face. ”
It was still Ye Yun's voice, as if it had spanned five hundred years of time, telling Ye Yun what he was saying five hundred years ago.
At this time, all Ye Yun could do was pause, let out a silent sigh, and walked out of the video store.
