Li nationality, Li family compound.

"Young man, we have to talk."

There is no doubt that in the entire Red City, the strength of the Li family is bottomless. The magnificent palace-like Li family compound is just a demonstration of its strength.

Taiyang followed the familiar route in his mind as if he was going home, and easily came to the Li family's compound. It seems that someone has already ordered the security guards to guard the door, and Taiyang can easily enter the Li family compound. When he stepped through the door, it was time for him to enter a huge world. This world is so big, and it feels like you've entered a different dimension.

If Taiyang had watched "Three-Body Problem III: Death and Eternal", he would definitely have a feeling of entering the four-dimensional space to chat.

But just as he was about to come to a Liu Bang-style emotion, a low old man's voice came from the side.

"Are you Li Hao's grandfather?" Taeyang asked politely.

Although Li Hao's bad impression of Taiyang has been set, the old man in front of him gives Taiyang a kind feeling, it would be good if he had seen his grandfather, so that he could compare the feeling at this time whether it was the feeling of seeing his grandfather.

"Yes, I am." The old man said with a kind smile, "I didn't expect you to come so quickly, you are really an extraordinary person." ”

The old man motioned for Taiyang to move forward, and after a while they came to a pavilion, in which there was a very handsome girl making tea. Taiyang has a very ridiculous feeling of traveling to ancient times. But seeing that the old man is dressed elegantly, but it is a very modern existence, that feeling is much less.

"What a smell, it's so fragrant!" Suddenly, a fragrance came, and Taeyang couldn't help but sigh, "Is this tea?" ”

"Yes!" The old man smiled slightly, "This tea is called [The Story of Time]." Time is a magical thing, and anything becomes a story under her influence. What's more, this tea is picked on a special tea tree. This tea tree was planted when I missed my lover in time. In time, this tea tree continues to absorb the emotion of planting tea trees, and I don't know how long it has grown in time. When I found it, it was already withered, but the fragrance of tea was still strong. Take a sip, you will be relaxed and happy, and there will be no more troubles, like an immortal. ”

"I really don't understand tea!" Taiyang took a sip and said, "But this tea is really fragrant, and the body is really much more comfortable after drinking." ”

"This tea is not as pretentious as other teas, and it does not need to be tasted carefully by the person who tastes the tea, just like loving a person or loving a thing, and does not need others to know. She doesn't need anyone to know. So, anyone can drink it. But it's something that ordinary people can't drink! The old man smiled mysteriously, "Only those who come from time can drink it." ”

"Someone from time?" Taeyang sighed in his heart, could it be that the things he had come from the future had already been known? Could it be that the old man in front of him is also from the future?

"Let's talk about the dagger." Just when Taiyang called the soul of the manuscript and the soul of the manuscript should not be, and the soul of the manuscript and the soul of the manuscript did not work, the old man seemed to know nothing, and he didn't even need to cover it up, so he directly started the first topic.

"Do you know who that dagger is?" The old man asked.

"You?"

"No, no, no, I don't have the qualifications to be its master." The old man laughed to himself.

"What's going on here?" Taeyang wondered, "If the owner of the dagger is not you, it's easy to understand, but you are not qualified to be its owner, then the owner of the dagger is even less likely to be your grandson." Who will be the owner of that dagger? And why did you call me? ”

The old man stood up, walked aside, and overlooked the vastness of the lotus pond like the sea. After a deep sigh, he sat back down.

"The owner of the dagger is not fixed. Only at certain times will the owner of the dagger appear. The owner of the dagger has not appeared for a long, long time. ”

"When will the owner of the dagger appear?"

"It's already there!"

"Where?"

"I wasn't sure before, but the first time I saw you, I started to be sure." The old man said very seriously, "You are the owner of the dagger!" ”

"Am I the owner of the dagger?" Taeyang's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is that possible!?" I'm coming back——? "He stopped suddenly, what did he come back for? By the way, what did he come back for? Suddenly, the matter of his return became vague? He even wondered why he used the word "come back", wasn't he here before?

The old man didn't seem to see Taiyang's situation at this time, and continued: "The dagger is specially designed to kill the beasts of civilization. Daggers don't come easily. I asked Li Hao, what he was holding before was obviously a fake knife of another style, but in the end it became a real dagger in your hand. After detection, it was determined that this was left by the previous owner of the dagger. The Beast of Civilization has appeared, and if it is not killed, then the whole world will be devoured by the Beast of Civilization. ”

At this time, Taiyang was still in the fear just now, and the sense of lack that he suddenly couldn't remember a thing was terrible. If the previous feeling of lack is just suddenly unable to remember where to put a thing, then the sense of absence just now is forgetting the whole world.

Although it only lasted for a short time, the feeling was as if it had been imprinted in my brain by a laser. Like a slave's first feeling of shackles, there was a deep fear of it.

"What is the beast of your civilization?"

"It is a kind of existence that absorbs the fruits of civilization and grows and grows without a trace. It sounds conceptual, but it's a real thing. When the fruits of civilization they absorb reach a certain level, they will transform into an entity and exist in our world. I know it sounds like a fantasy story, but even if it's a fantasy story, it's not surprising, because the Milky Way, where the solar system is located, has already run to the junction of the technological universe and the gods and demons universe at this time.

"We have all become the people of time because of nostalgia, although we know that this matter has nothing to do with your responsibility, but the dagger chose you, you are the master of the dagger, only you can awaken the former greatsword and stop the beast of civilization from devouring our universe."

The old man's "no return in time" touched Taiyang very much. A feeling of pity and pity arises spontaneously. Although I don't understand this feeling yet. But the whole person is walking with this feeling.

"I'll do my best."

Taiyang walked out of the gate of the Li family's compound, and suddenly a sense of depression hit him, and it took him a while to recover. At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in my heart.
