Under Zhang Xiaohu's persuasion, Chen Yi had to give up his plan, and everyone planned and decided to go back to Donglu Village first, then sort out their equipment, and prepare to go south to Tianzhu Mountain.

The journey back was smooth, the ferocious monitor lizards did not reappear, and after four days, they finally saw the light again, returning to the col where they had been.

Along the way, Chen Yi didn't say a word, and even Zhang Xiaohu talked to her several times, but she ignored it.

On the way back to Donglu Village, several people met several villagers who had come out to hunt, and they were very elated when they saw the goddess.

However, these villagers, Zhang Xiaohu looked very unfamiliar, as if he had not seen them before.

One of the heroic teenagers looked at Zhang Xiaohu and said with a smile: "The years are long! Do you know me? The husband has had fun! ”

Zhang Xiaohu racked his brains and didn't remember when he had contact with this young man, and he only stayed in Donglu Village for a short time for more than ten days, and spent most of his time in the temple.

The young master picked up a stone from the ground, flicked it lightly, and said with a smile: "Remember it or not!" ”

Zhang Xiaohu looked at this familiar action, looked at the young man's face, and suddenly said in shock: "You are that child!" Oh, my God! Why are you so big! What happened? ”

Chen Yi said indifferently: "What are you surprised about, it's not that something happened to him, he just grew normally, but that we have changed." ”

Zhang Xiaohu was surprised: "What do you mean?" ”

Chenyi explained: "The place we go to, the speed of time is different from the outside world. In that hole, we felt like it had only been a few days, but it should have been many years outside, you can ask! ”

Zhang Xiaohu chatted with the boy for a while before he realized that it had been eight years since they left Donglu Village, and many villagers still remembered the two mysteriously visiting holy sons eight years ago, as well as the battle that took place during the Great Change.

What he couldn't understand was whether they had stolen time, or if time had forgotten them, why they didn't feel anything unusual inside the cave, but when they came out, they found that so many years had passed outside, and it was really "a day in the cave!" It's been a thousand years! ”

After several people learned about this strange thing, they all fell into deep thought. King Peter pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked a question: "If we stay in the cave all the time, will we be able to live forever?" ”

Chen Yi sneered: "Your so-called immortality is relative to the people in the outside world, for you, time is still flowing, and your body will still age. ”

King Peter was a little disappointed and said, "What is the point of being a man who hides in a cave, even if he can live a long time?" Let's find a way to go back. ”

Zhang Xiaohu has been reminiscing about Chenyi's words just now, if immortality is only relative to time, then what do immortal people get? And what is lost?

They decided to return to Donglu Village with the young hunters.

Lan Feng, who got the news in advance, took many villagers to warmly greet the goddess and others outside the village. They are extremely honored to have the goddess return again!

The years have left a deep mark on Lan Feng's face, the originally sturdy man now has a few more deep wrinkles on his face, and his originally tall figure is slightly bent. Lan Feng was a little more convinced of the identities of Zhang Xiaohu's holy sons. Eight years of time has not had any impact on a few people, how can a mortal do it!

A lot has changed in the past eight years, and dozens of five-meter-high towers have been built on the periphery of the village, which is a big improvement over the previous defenseless village.

The temple in the middle of the village has also been expanded and renovated during this time, and the outside is more solemn and sacred.

The maids of the temple stood outside the temple and collectively knelt down to the goddess in the morning, and Granny Ali was full of silver hair, and suddenly changed from a middle-aged appearance to a weak old man. Another mother-in-law is said to have passed away three years ago.

Granny Ali looked at Goddess Chenyi with a smile, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect to see you again before I died!" I'm so much luckier than Ayi! "Ayi is the name of another mother-in-law, and when it is connected, it is Liyi, and the meaning of Chenyi's name is self-evident!

Chenyi took Granny Ali's hand and sighed, "Why don't you go to live there?" Why have you been waiting here to die! ”

Granny Ali said, "You said you were gone this time. It won't be coming back! We can't serve you, what's the point of living! ”

Chen Yi smiled bitterly: "You are too stupid, you have been with me for so many years, you should also live for yourself." ”

Zhang Xiaohu felt curious, and asked Chenyi afterwards to learn that Mother-in-law Ali and Mother-in-law Ayi were raised by Chenyi since childhood, and later felt that the two were loyal to him, so he shared a lot of secrets with the two, and occasionally took the two to live in a mysterious place, where the same as the cave, and the speed of time is also different from that of Donglu Village, so the two are more than 80 years old in the memory of outsiders, but in fact, the two are about 50 years old, but this time the two live in Donglu Village, I don't know what the reason is, It seems that the time is fair, and the time that was stolen before must now be doubled back.

Han Xiaoyi and Xie Zixi have become beautiful women at this time, both of them have already married women, and Han Xiaoyi was very surprised when she saw Zhang Xiaohu. To say that she had a good impression of this Holy Son before, and a girl's heart had secretly admired it, but this Holy Son came suddenly, and when she left, she didn't leave a word for herself, so within a few years she had a sweetheart. At this meeting, I suddenly recalled all kinds of interesting things that happened before, and I felt that I was making people.

Zhang Xiaohu lay on the bed in the previous bedroom again, looking at the unfamiliar furnishings in the room, he always had a dreamlike feeling. For him, it has been more than a month since he came to this world, but every time something strange happens to him, he doesn't know if he can find a way to go back, and he doesn't know if he will enter the forbidden area of time again.

The door was pushed open, and Zhao Zixuan walked in, looking dejected.

"What's wrong? Who messed with you? Zhang Xiaohu asked curiously.

"Sister Xiaoyun, get married!" Zhao Zixuan said with a grief-stricken expression.

"I know!" Zhang Xiaohu responded, he knew that this sister Xiaoyun was also another maid in the temple, with a sweet appearance, Zhao Zixuan liked it very much before, and this time he took the initiative to say hello as soon as he came back, but he didn't expect that Yiren was already an adult.

"Lao Zhang, this place is too weird, we have only been away for a few days, and the outside world has changed so much, if we go out again, will there be many people who know us, they will be gone....." An inexplicable sense of loss and sadness rose in Zhao Zixuan's heart. A month ago, I was still a child who liked to play games and hated his mother's nagging, although he would occasionally say a sentence or two like "I think, therefore I am in ......", but I have never felt life and death, time and space so truly......

In the past month or so, so many incredible things have happened, and there is no possibility to communicate with parents "What should I do?" "I can only encounter things and solve things, and I can only rely on Zhang Xiaohu for my life! Fortunately, Zhang Xiaohu is a reliable buddy, and when he encounters things, he is always so calm!

Zhang Xiaohu also fell into deep thought, and only replied after a while: "Lao Zhao, don't think so much, we don't belong to this world in the first place, I will definitely take you out of here!" Believe me! ”

"I believe in you!" Zhao Zixuan looked at Zhang Xiaohu's bright big eyes, that kind of firm look made him feel a little more steady, and the emotion of loss just now was replaced by curiosity, "Lao Zhang, do you have a way?" You say, what's going on here? ”

"Lao Zhao, I remember reading a book before, which recorded a story 'Zhilin' written by Yu Xi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Mu Yonghe: "There is a stone room in Xin'an Mountain, and the king enters his room, and he sees the two boys playing against each other, and he sees it. The bureau is not over, and it is regarded as the decay of the salary he is holding, so he returns, and the township is no longer in place. This is very similar to our situation, it seems that the ancients discovered something special in it, and the speed of time in it is different from that of the outside world. And I think Chenyi may have known this a long time ago, she just didn't explain it to us! ”

"As soon as you mention that Chenyi, I think the problem is even more serious. She said that she was Yichen, but after this journey, I felt that she and Yichen were completely two people, with completely different temperaments and personalities, besides, how could they appear at the same time! Do you think she's lying to us? ”

Zhang Xiaohu said solemnly: "I believe that she is Yichen, but I also think that she still has a lot of things to hide from us." ”

While the two were chatting, in a secret room on the fourth floor, Chen Yi took off his mask and looked intently at a strange mural in front of him.

A black-robed man pushed the door and walked in, looked at Chen Yi and said respectfully, "Lord God, that person wants to see you!" ”
