Chapter 20: Lost Time
Indeed, with the development of the times, human beings have become more and more self-confident, less and less humble, and see themselves as the center of the world, and awe and faith have gradually disappeared from consciousness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Will such a human being be lost? At the very least, I felt lost, often unaware of what I was there for.
It is precisely because of this loss that I have become a drifter who goes with the flow, and I can't stand anywhere. That's why I'm homeless, that's why I'm here. Even here, it's a day at a time, and I don't know what will happen tomorrow or where I'm going tomorrow.
After entering the boring fast, my heart is happy and I feel more relaxed than I have ever felt before. I told myself not to look back on the past, because the past cannot be changed, and not to worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow does not know if it will come. I just want to live here in peace and quiet, and see my own destiny clearly.
Thinking wildly, I walked out of the jungle and into the town, and I was startled by the lively voices of people.
When I looked closely, I saw a bustling town, but it wasn't a modern town. The people who come and go here are all dressed in the costumes of an unknown dynasty, and the buildings are all old and very low.
How did you get to such a place? These people aren't all monsters, right?
Suddenly an instinct arose in my body, as if it would become even stronger in such an unreal place, and I unconsciously opened my inner eyes to look at the crowd of the town.
At this glance, I couldn't help but exclaim "ah".
The bodies of the people in the town became a little transparent under my gaze, and they looked a little unreal and unreal. However, they are not demons, they are real human beings.
The only difference is that when I look with my inner eye, I find that most of them are appendaged, entangled in all kinds of monsters. The postures of these monsters are different, extremely weird, and some of them are very scary, which is why I screamed in shock.
A man who couldn't see me or hear my screams of terror slammed straight at me. The man was five large and three thick, with a fleshy face, and at the place of his heart was a tangled, twisted tree, whose crown obscured the sky above his head, making him look even more terrifying than the legendary ghost.
I forgot the meaning of the word "dodge" and just snapped my eyes shut, muscles straining and preparing for a blow. I didn't expect my eyes to be closed for ten seconds, and the imaginary collision didn't happen.
When I timidly opened my eyes, a second person happened to walk up to me and "whoosh" through me.
Li Qing laughed out loud beside her.
"Don't be afraid, this is the time that has passed, they won't affect you, and there is no way to communicate with you."
Even though she was smiling, I somehow caught a hint of sadness in her voice.
Does "lost time" mean something that is "lost and never returned"?
"Can Shining also see the monsters in humans in the passing time?" Li Qing really understood where my inappropriateness came from.
I nodded, my legs still a little weak. But when I realized that all I saw in my eyes were illusions engraved in the river of time many years ago, I was not so nervous.
"Shining usually don't look good like this, otherwise, you will feel unhappy!" Liqing kindly persuaded me.
I quickly and deliberately closed my inner eye, relaxed, and looked at the world with a pair of mortal eyes. Sure enough, the world cleared up all of a sudden, the people returned to normal, and the town became lively and pleasing to the eye again.
I couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Lately, I've been instinctively concentrating on looking at the world when I'm not careful, but if that's the case, I guess the familiar world will be full of these strange things, right?
Sure enough, sometimes, it will be happier if you still don't know the truth of the matter.
Liqing found something very inconsistent with the scene in front of her from the tulle skirt at the waist, it was a pink plastic lighter printed with Minnie Mouse, the kind that cost a dollar on the stall, which made me feel a sense of collapse when I saw a goof-wear costume film and television drama.
"When I think about it, I'm still a little uneasy." Hu Liqing stuffed Minnie Mouse lighter into my hand, "You take this, if there is a dangerous monster attacking you, light this and burn them to death." ”
"Burned? With this? I looked at the big polka-dot bow on Minnie's head, and I felt a little crying and laughing. Moreover, I carry such a pink cartoon lighter every day, isn't it a bit too sassy? It's really embarrassing!
"Why, you don't believe it?" Li Qing pursed her lips slightly, looking a little naïve, "Very powerful!" ”
"I believe, I believe!" I hurriedly took over the lighter, and there was a "click" on the spot, and a small flame "popped" up.
The flame burned smoothly, but, unlike the warm bright yellow flames I had come to know, the flames that were lit by this one were turquoise.
Li Qing smiled smugly.
Later, I learned that this lighter was fueled by Liqing's demonic energy. The demon qi at the level of the Demon Emperor is really a terrifying thing.
And, the moment I took the lighter, I suddenly realized a problem.
What a blessing this is! The mysterious man in my consciousness said that I want to collect an item that Liqing has touched every solar term, and I actually forgot about it.
Now, is it an unintentional task completed?
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly put the lighter into my pocket and thanked Liqing again and again.
If the mission fails, I won't be able to see Liqing and Bored Zhai from now on, and I really don't know what to do in the future. I can't allow that to happen, so I'll never be like this again.
I had a faint sense of fear in my heart. In fact, I don't know if I'm afraid to leave the boring fast, or if I'm afraid of the human society that overwhelms me.
We walked for a long time, passing through two or three towns. The appearance of these towns is very different, and they are probably not the same dynasty at all. This kind of experience is new to me, but Liqing has been walking in silence, watching, not knowing what is going on in her heart.
Perhaps, these are the places she has walked and left important memories, right?
