Time is like an undercurrent underground, moving so quietly without anyone noticing.

After Lu Lie posted a notice to the whole world to summon the mystic, one day, two days, three days, one month, two months, three months, one year, two years, three years, and so on. In the past three years, it is not that no one has uncovered the notice of the mystic master and was sent to Lu Lie's military tent in Beacon City, but there is no need for Lu Lie to meet him in person, and his subordinates have tested out that the other party is just a liar who wants to get a vote. Lu Lie, who was furious and angry, killed these liars on the spot and showed them to the public. The rows of heads on the Beacon City also announced to the world what would happen to those who dared to deceive the god general Lu Lie. No one dared to take the notice issued by Lu Lie easily, and the number of people who came to Beacon City to apply for recruitment gradually became scarce.

Three years had passed, and Lu Lie had never waited for a real mystic, let alone tried to unlock the memories sealed in his mind. During this time, Sun Xiao also secretly escaped from the military tent for unknown reasons, and his whereabouts were unknown. In the past three years, in the troubled times, new princes have risen to challenge the status of the Marquis of Jianning, as the last god general behind the Marquis of Jianning, Lu Lie has also been fighting in the east and west for the past three years, busy dealing with military affairs, and intriguing with various princes and warlords. After a long time, I gradually forgot these things that happened three years ago.

Three years later, the Marquis of Jianning was defeated. The rebel army entered the former impregnable imperial capital, and dragged the Marquis of Jianning in the general's mansion to the vegetable market with the little emperor who was hiding in the deep palace and was supported as a puppet, and was executed with Ling Chi. One knife, one knife, the screams of the two lasted for three days and three nights without subsidence. The final closing of the eyes of this big man also means that this troubled world has come to a stage where it is about to end.

At the same time, Lu Lie, who was far away in Beacon City, heard the news of the death of Marquis Jianning, and at this moment there were less than a thousand armor soldiers left behind him, and his enemies were already all over the world. Lu Lie also knew that his own era was coming to an end, and before his terrified subordinates staged a mutiny to tie him up to the imperial capital, Lu Lie fled from Beacon City alone on a dark and windy night and went to a place where no one knew him.

His hometown, his former wandering hometown, Jiangbei.

Lu Lie walked in a small town in Jiangbei that had not yet been completely destroyed by the war, thinking that he was walking like this back then, covered with a tattered blanket and holding a bowl in his hand, begging for food and money from passers-by of all sizes. And in such a troubled world, everyone is in danger, and who has surplus food and spare money for such a street child who can be seen everywhere? So at that time, Lu Lie was sometimes so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he went to steal, rob, cheat, and cheat, and tried all means to keep himself alive. Of course, more often than not, they were caught and beaten severely, and even their legs were discounted. But next time, as long as his leg is good, he has to steal it again.

Nineteen years have passed, and Lu Lie has changed from a small broken child to an uncle who is about to enter middle age. He walked down the street where everyone was in danger, wrapping his face in a black robe to prevent anyone from recognizing him. But the passers-by beside him, all of them were hungry and frightened, who would pay attention to such an ordinary passer-by.

Before you know it, snow is falling in the sky, and the dandelion-sized snowflakes soon turn into goose feather snow, covering the whole city in white. Lu Lie stepped through the snow, shallow and deep at the end of the city. The pedestrians on the road gradually became scarce, and those who had houses returned to their houses to take shelter from the cold, and there were no houses to shelter from the wind and rain...... Along the way, Lu Lie also saw a lot of frozen bones.

Every time it is winter, a lot of people die, many, many people.

Lu Lie stopped in the middle of the street, and there were no passers-by nearby.

He lifted his hand and looked at his palm, which had been purple from the cold. He began to feel a little confused, how did he survive so many endless long winters without being frozen to death as a street child for so many years?

He didn't know, he couldn't remember. Since that time he met Sun Xiao, Lu Lie found that he not only couldn't remember everything related to the giant tree, as if many things, like some details of his childhood, his life in Zhushi Town, and even a series of things when he joined the Jianning Army, he began to become unable to remember.

Everything is speeding away from itself.

What exactly is this...... What's going on?

A snowflake fell on Lu Lie's forehead. "Maybe it's time for me to find a place to escape the cold. Lu Lie thought in his heart.

He's stepping on the soft snow, and he's stepping forward. Suddenly, a huge garden appeared in front of him, and it was a yard full of roses. The queen of blood-red flowers proudly unfurls in this snowy season. This is the most spectacular and magnificent scene Lu Lie has ever seen in his life. He had never seen such a beautiful flower, not before, and never again.

But roses don't bloom in winter at all.

Lu Lie hesitated, he wanted to avoid this garden. But the moment he turned around, there was a creak, and the iron door of the garden was opened, and a little girl's head poked out, smiling at Lu Lie and said, "Sir, my master has been waiting for you for a long time, why did you have to leave after coming here." ”

Lu Lie's inner thoughts pondered for a moment, although he didn't understand what the other party's master meant, and why he was waiting here. But Lu Lie, who has fallen to this moment, does not seem to have anything to be deceived. He walked into the garden of roses, and entered under the curious and enthusiastic gaze of the little girl. The moment he stepped into the Rose Garden, the little girl, fearing that he would regret it, immediately closed the door of the Rose Garden with her back hand.

Bang.

......

If this small northern city is already cold and snowy outside the park, then inside the park, it is like a warm spring season and scenery.

There are not only blooming roses around, but also warm springs flowing slowly at your feet, and large green trees in the center of the garden.

Even the sun in this courtyard seems to be much bigger than outside.

When Lu Lie walked in, he even wanted to take off the black robe wrapped around his neck.

And under the big tree, an old man was sitting on a bamboo chair, waiting for him. Two equally enthusiastic little girls hid behind the old man's back, beating the old man on the back while poking their heads out to look at the uninvited guest who had entered the rose garden.
