Walking through this lush forest, through the dense branches, you can see an ancient castle surrounded by many thorns and roses, and under the sunset, the ancient castle seems to be very old, and the high gray walls are crawling with dark green vines, so many of them almost surround the windows, and some even get into the windows, revealing a bit of gloom. On closer inspection, the castle is divided into three floors, and the hues of the façade are intertwined with hard gray and cream white, giving a sense of serene coldness. Tian Yuan squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and the walls of the ancient castle were covered with many unique patterns. The exterior window frame of each layer of the castle is a stone cuboid, and the patterns on it are many and do not stick out of the head, with a gray-black hard texture, plus a faint shadow, it is an elegant and not extravagant feeling. At the very top of the castle is a cone-shaped lightning rod with a thin head that looks like it can pierce the sky.

At that moment, a familiar feeling came to me, "This style, it seems that I have seen it somewhere." ”

By this time, it was already evening, and everything in the castle was silent. No flamboyant dressing, no flickering candles, no warm fireplace. Some are just a solemn stone wall.

The palm of his hand was still aching, Tian Yuan covered his injured palm, and cautiously approached the castle, "Whew-" Suddenly a gust of wind blew from behind the wooden door of the ancient castle, which startled Tian Yuan, and at this moment, from the dark shadow in the depths of the ancient castle, a figure walked over, Tian Yuan instinctively took a step back, and his hand touched the only remaining black stone in his pocket.

It wasn't until the black shadow approached that Tian Yuan saw clearly that it was an old man, with long eyebrows hanging down to his cheeks, and a cane on his hand, and walked out.

Tian Yuan's nervous expression relaxed.

I heard the hunchbacked old man speak first. "Where are you from?" The voice was deep and powerful, like the sound of a subwoofer, and it sounded exceptionally warm.

Tian Yuan was a little surprised, stunned for a moment, and didn't know why this old man suddenly asked such a question.

"I," Tian Yuan saw the wrinkles in the corners of the old man's eyes, and he thought of Bai Yi Village Chief, "Will he also have a grandson?" Tian Yuan thought of Shanxi, and remembered the big fool who was the first to be eliminated no matter what game he played, and his heart suddenly swelled and became melancholy.

Tian Yuan came back to his senses. "Grandpa, I'm from Degus in the north. ”

The old man looked at Tian Yuan meaningfully and smiled. "I see, you're from this world. ”

"Huh, what is this world?"

"It's nothing, I'm old, so I'm prone to talking nonsense. The old man smiled, and the crow's feet in the corners of his eyes seemed to be pinched out of the passing years at that moment.

Tian Yuan smiled and looked up at the castle.

"This castle is so exquisite. ”

The old man looked back at the castle.

"yes"

"Have you always lived here?"

"No, I lived in a place many years ago, and then I moved in because of the environmental damage there. ”

"Oh, that's right. ”

"I think this castle is a bit old, I guess it's been a long time. I think it's been more than 100 years. How did you find this castle? ”

"Why should I look for it, I built this castle. ”

Tian Yuan was suddenly startled and stared at the old man for a long time.

"Poof, you're kidding,"

"Yes," the old man laughed.

"Please wait a minute," Tian Yuan suddenly raised his hand, stopping the conversation. Following Tian Yuan's line of sight, on a tall branch, a small snake was slowly reaching out to the nest of a group of young birds, "呲-呲" sticking out its tongue from time to time.

Tian Yuan "Da Da Da" stepped over in three steps, grabbed a branch with his right hand, the branch was a little soft, and suddenly pressed out an arc, just at the moment when the branch bounced up, his waist was forced, and he swung to another branch, grabbed it with both hands, and pushed it up, "brush" The whole person fell on the branch where the snake was entangled, the footsteps were so light and the movements were so fast that the snake did not react at all, and was preoccupied with moving towards his prey, Tian Yuan carefully moved forward on this branch that was only arm thick, and slowly came to the back of the snake, "whoosh" a bent over, and grabbed the snake's seven inches with a flick of his hand, as soon as he grabbed it, the snake began to run wild, twisting his body in Tian Yuan's hand and throwing his head into Tian Yuan's face, that strength, ordinary people may not be able to hold it. Tian Yuan pinched the snake's seven inches, and then jumped down from the branch, kicked his foot on the trunk twice, minus the momentum of the fall, and fell down softly along the trunk.

Carrying the snake, Tian Yuan walked far away from the tree, bent down, and as soon as he sent his hand forward, he put it into the grass, and the little snake didn't look back, and there was no shadow when it jumped into the grass.

"I thought you were going to kill him"

I heard the voice of an old man behind me.

Tian Yuan turned around and smiled. "It's not easy either, isn't it," he said, looking back at the 30-centimeter-tall grass.

"It's not that I don't disrespect nature, it's just that these little birds haven't seen this world yet," Tian Yuan looked up at the little birds chirping in the trees, and hurriedly walked away, but he couldn't bear it. ”

The sun hit Tian Yuan's face, and it was not a smile on that face, but it gave people that warm feeling.

The old man smiled and shook his head.

"Are you nostalgic for this world?"

Tian Yuan didn't know why the old man suddenly asked such a question.

Tian Yuan froze for a moment, "This world?" What suddenly came to his mind was so many years of endless war, so many years of nightmarish experiences. One after another, they left their comrades-in-arms, and they rubbed shoulders with hell again and again.

Tian Yuan's right eye couldn't help but twitch. There was no answer.

Raised his head, looked up, and saw that the mother bird on the branch was busy feeding the baby bird, and the baby bird kept screaming for the "chirp" of the food, and at that moment, Tian Yuan's heart seemed to be less painful than before, "But I also have a reason for nostalgia, don't I?" Tian Yuan asked himself.

"Pete, Thomas, Elisa, Madame, Wicks..."Tengen suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Looks like you have the answer,"

"Huh?" Tian Yuan was pulled back from his memories all at once, "Then don't enter the castle anyway." When he turned around, he found that his eyes were empty, only the old man's words were fluttering, Tian Yuan quickly turned around, and there was no one. There was no left, no right, and the old man disappeared from his sight at once. At this moment, a cloudy wind blew from all sides, and the sun also set half of the ground.

Even Tian Yuan felt that the old man before was mysterious, but he still didn't take it to heart after all, "It's not the first time I've seen a ghost." The sky began to turn cold, Tian Yuan's hand subconsciously touched his chest, at that moment, Tian Yuan seemed to realize something, his hand slapped down violently, pressed against his chest, his heart was cold, and all kinds of fear rushed up, "What about my little black? Could it be, is it the time of the battle just now?" Tian Yuan turned his head and looked out of the forest.

At this moment, on the plains of Degus, a man whose right side of his face was tightly covered by long hair picked up a pendant tied with a black crystal stone from the ground.
