Chapter 4: Ancient Ruins
Suddenly, the air cooled, and there was no sound around except the rustling of the trees. Jiang Xiaobai and Ling Tian stared at each other, their minds spinning rapidly, not knowing what their ideas were.
"Jiang Xiaobai..."Half an hour later, Ling Tian opened his mouth first, "Why don't you go back to the Seven Spirit Sect with me." I will never covet you again, and I will consider you the next suzerain's heir. ”
"There is such a good thing, you don't want to wait for me to come over and directly take my life, right?" After going through the past, Jiang Xiaobai would not believe it so easily.
"My heart really went astray. But I'm also completely for the sake of the sect. If I can get what is in your body, it is very likely that I will directly break through the current realm and become the king of people, and lead the sect to the peak of the continent from now on. ”
"But now... I changed my mind. I think you can also lead the sect to the top, and maybe even reach a higher level!, so ......" Facing the junior, Ling Tian put down the posture of the superior, and his face showed remorse.
"It seems to be sincere, but how dare you tell me to trust you again?"
"I know! But as long as you are willing to return to the sect with me, I will definitely do everything I can to make up for your past. ”
"Make up for it!hehe~ Some people, once their hearts are cold, it is impossible to be warmed. Jiang Xiaobai looked back at the Fallen Forest.
"Jiang Xiaobai, I know what you're thinking. Even if you leave alive through the edge of the forest, when you come out you will become a mortal and never be seen again. ”
"Mortals, what about mortals! Even if it's just a short life, but I can at least prove that I ever existed. But what about you, it seems to be like a fairy, but in fact, you have all forgotten who you really are!" After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai turned around and disappeared into the Fallen Forest.
"Don't!" Ling Tian wanted to pull Jiang Xiaobai back, but under the restrictions of the mysterious power of the forest, he was too late.
The Fallen Forest is so mysterious that no one knows how it came to be, or where it really came from. However, looking at ancient history, the only thing that is certain is that it was the same as the current continent that came to the mysterious era that disappeared 10,000 years ago.
"Ten thousand years ago, the era of disappearance?" Jiang Xiaobai walked in the forest, his mind always rippling with Ling Tian's description of this forest. However, he was very puzzled by many of Ling Tian's words, and he couldn't figure it out at all.
The wind suddenly stopped, and in the dim forest, there was no longer that roar, and everything was silent.
Along the way, Jiang Xiaobai didn't see any birds or beasts in the forest. Except for the vigorous ancient trees, the ground is bare, and even flowers and plants have not grown, like a forbidden area of life.
"Strange! I heard a roar coming from the forest. Why is it so quiet now?"
It's the edge of the Fallen Forest, but it's not without a hint of life. This silence made Jiang Xiaobai feel very uneasy, even at this time, even if a group of fierce beasts could appear, it would be much better than the current situation.
The forest is very quiet, the silence is scary, the silence is creepy.
Over a hill. A vague city appeared in front of Jiang Xiaobai's eyes. From afar, it looks like an ancient ruin.
Jiang Xiaobai was aimless, he slowly walked towards the city. But as soon as he approached the city, he remained motionless and stunned like a stone statue that had stood there since ancient times.
His face was full of shock. It was a city that was exactly as far as he remembered.
The city, though clearly eroded by time, is remarkably well preserved. High-rise buildings rise from the ground, wide roads crisscross the streets, and you can even see broken cars on both sides of the road. However, the only thing that discrept from his memory was the landscape trees on both sides of the street, which had grown into towering trees taller than ordinary high-rise buildings.
"Modern city! Earth!" Five years ago, Jiang Xiaobai was strangely resurrected from the sunset stream, and then entered the Seven Spirits Sect, and it was the first time he stepped out of the sect. He had always thought he had crossed over, but now it seemed that he had thought everything wrong.
"This fallen forest appeared 10,000 years ago. The city appeared in the forest again, so that the city was at least 10,000 years old. But the city should have been reduced to nothingness in 10,000 years, why...? Is it because of this mysterious fallen forest?"
Jiang Xiaobai thought back to what Ling Tian had said to him. It gradually became clear in his mind.
"It seems that the mysterious era that disappeared refers to the modern era where I once lived! But what did it go through 10,000 years ago, why did the heyday of science and technology suddenly disappear, and where did this place, known as the Origin Continent, come from......" Jiang Xiaobai had countless questions in his heart, but no one could answer him at this time.
He forgot his fear of the forest and walked straight into the city.
The familiar scenes opened up the dusty memories, and the familiar scenes appeared in his mind, and an unspeakable pain surged in his heart.
10,000 years ago, he should have had a perfect life. But I never thought that I was about to get it, but I accidentally lost my life.
At that time he was a department manager in a small company with a small income but a complete family. What's more, in that era when love has long become a luxury, he found the soul that matched him only and got the love of his life.
At that time, he and his wife did not have much money, so they could not hold a grand wedding. They also don't want to bother their friends and relatives to put pressure on them. In the end, they prepared a dream trip as a wedding ceremony.
But in the middle of his travels, he unexpectedly fell into a bottomless abyss. Since then, he has been separated from his relatives and lovers forever.
At the moment of falling, he seemed to see his wife jump into the abyss with him. But because my mind was blank when I fell, it seemed a little unreal. But he really hoped it was just his hallucination.
"Ah...!" Jiang Xiaobai let out a long howl of grief, shaking the heavens and the earth, and approaching the sky. He seemed to be questioning the heavens why they had made such cruel arrangements for his fate.
He was so weak that he let the tears soak his cheeks.
As dusk fell, a breeze suddenly blew again in the forest. It swept over gently, caressing Jiang Xiaobai's body with a hint of sadness.
Jiang Xiaobai has been immersed in grief. At this moment, he didn't notice that the slight breeze was mixed with a strong fishy smell.
Soon, night enveloped the forest and the city was pitch black. He slowly got up and walked to a street corner, where he lay down again in a sentry box.
After dusk, the breeze gradually picks up, and the temperature in the forest is still relatively cold at night. Jiang Xiaobai curled up in the sentry box and slowly fell asleep.
