The wide gate slowly opened, and people outside could see that inside the door, there was a white-haired old man standing tall behind his hands, dressed in Tang costume, facing the visitor at the gate, personally greeting him. And beside him, there were sixteen disciples of different ages who looked and were waiting behind him with expressionless faces.

"Who is this person?" asked someone outside the door.

"Are you asking about the people inside the door, or the people outside the door?"

"The people outside the door don't know, how can the people in this door seem to be ...... Exactly like the Founding Ancestor hanging on the wall of the Lotus Gate?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Is the legend true? The master of the gate is still alive, but he has lived for more than two hundred years, and he can still stand there vigorously?"

"Isn't it his descendant?"

Speculation, all sorts, but the door closed at this time.

Qu Yuanxin walked into the courtyard and met this gray-haired old man, he was the founder of the Lotus Gate, and the only passenger in the Seventh Uncle's team who was still alive, his name was Ding Lian.

"Grandpa Ding, I came as promised, and you actually went out to greet me in person, and I was flattered. ”

"Let's go, come in and talk. ”

Qu Yuanxin followed him, but he found that the Ding Lian in front of him was obviously one of the few strong people on the earth now, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was even the strongest, but he looked so ordinary, walking with his legs and walking away, breathing or his chest rising and falling, which was far from the expected immortal who did not eat fireworks in the world, but his face was very good, he seemed to be very healthy, and his body gave people a feeling of being strong and indestructible.

"Grandpa Ding. Qu Yuanxin couldn't help but be curious: "Now, how many masks do you have?"

"Do you really want to know?" Ding Lian led Qu Yuanxin to a reception hall in the side hall.

At this time, Ding Lian raised her hand and said, "You all stand down." ”

Behind him, a group of people who had been following him from beginning to end retreated one after another, leaving the audience, and so far only Qu Yuanxin and Ding Lian were left.

"They're all down, can you tell me?"

"It's no problem to tell you, so far, I, Ding Lian, only have one mask. ”

Qu Yuanxin frowned, looking puzzled.

"Hehehe, sit down first, drink my treasured tea, the tea here is not ordinary. ”

Qu Yuanxin was anxious, but he tried not to let himself be too reckless and unproductive, suppressed the incomprehension and excitement in his heart, and took a sip of tea honestly.

The two sat opposite each other and drank tea, until they drank all the seven cups of tea brewed in the second brew, Ding Lian nodded with satisfaction, and said to Qu Yuanxin: "Very good, not as anxious as your seventh uncle." ”

"I wish I could be as straightforward as Uncle Seven, and say what I should say, instead of suppressing my true thoughts in my heart. ”

"Hahaha, I won't hang your appetite, I, Ding Lian, have actually had a mask together since a very early age, I don't remember how long it was, but it is definitely among the people who are alive now, the first people to enter the Origin Land, the people who were earlier than me, or the people of the same period, have all died. ”

Qu Yuanxin didn't say anything more, just waiting for him to continue to narrate.

"I met your seventh uncle three years ago, when your seventh uncle entered the initial place for the first time and happened to meet me, and at that time I was alone, equivalent to a scattered person. ”

"Wait, Grandpa Ding, you've been through so much time alone, and in the Origin Land, you only took one mask out?"

"That's right, it's really a lot of greed, when I know that every time I cross a world, I can get a mask, after gaining an ability, I also thought about it, but I finally endured this greed, since I got the first mask, I didn't get the second mask, each time the mask, either give it to my teammates, or turn a blind eye. ”

Qu Yuanxin was shocked, is there really such a person?

"That's unbelievable, isn't it?"

"Maybe you're right, in this world, I've seen too many people go in and out of the place of origin, just like a cursed person, when people realize that the more masks they get, the more dangerous the world they encounter, there will be some people who stop taking masks, but in the face of power, there will always be people who can't hold it, always thinking, in the end, take another mask, and then take another mask, but take one, you will definitely see more powerful abilities, and can't help but take another one. ”

When Qu Yuanxin fell silent, he smiled and made another pot of tea, and while pouring the tea, he asked: "In the face of power, people are greedy, even if you are not greedy, but in order to protect yourself and protect your family, you have to become stronger, like your seventh uncle." ”

"My seventh uncle is only getting stronger for the sake of his family?"

"Your seventh uncle is crazy, he is the wildest one I have ever seen in my life, but also the most gentle one, he learned from me from the beginning, the more masks you get, the more dangerous it will be in the future, and you didn't even think about the first mask, but the world is unpredictable, just when I entered the initial place, I met some passengers from the umbrella country, after the conflict between the two sides, one of them because of anger, pointed at Wen Yuan and swore that he would find his family after going out, and punish him for the nine clans!"

Qu Yuanxin's eyes widened: "Zhu Jiu clan, so ruthless!?"

"Your seventh uncle, you have no choice but to become stronger, strong enough to protect your family. So he ended up taking the mask, and it wasn't enough to take one, the enemy's revenge was even more strange than he imagined, and you may not even notice that in fact, including your family, disappeared from this world for a week. ”

Qu Yuanxin stood up suddenly: "Grandpa Ding, how do you say this?"

"There are many kinds of power, most people only know that a punch can fly a person in the past, can break rocks, can turn rivers and seas, this is power, but in fact, there are many forces that are more terrifying than this brainless violence, can erase people's existence, can erase a person's memory, can play with other people's souls, such as ...... That memory in your phone. ”

Qu Yuanxin was stunned, Ding Lian deliberately said the three words memory, obviously he knew that this was the memory of the seventh uncle.

Ding Lian said: "He has no body, he can't punch, he can't kick, he can't pull the trigger and shoot and kill, but his strength is far more terrifying than these, am I right?"

"Yes, Bang Guo has become like this, in fact, he has the most credit. ”

"At that time, your seventh uncle met such a group of people, and after mobilizing his strength, he directly made all the relatives related to your seventh uncle disappear into the world, and the people in this world did not notice it at all, as if your big family did not exist in this world. ”

"So Uncle Seven, he ...... Started taking the mask non-stop?"

"Yes, he started to find ways to get out, to keep traveling, to get power like crazy, and he asked me, because I had been to the world the most, knew the most, and he wanted to know which world to go to, what kind of mask he could get, so as to save his family. Seeing him like this, I hesitated for a moment, but then agreed. ”

"That's why I say he's the craziest person I've ever met, because after someone has experienced the horrors of crossing the world, after being afraid, they will slowly learn to restrain themselves, as the so-called older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, and after they take enough masks, they will restrain their greed, because they know that when they die, there is nothing. But your seventh uncle is not ......"

"I know who he is, when he is in the arcade, when he plays a game, he either doesn't participate in the points challenge, or he has to do his best, try to brush the first place in the standings and become the strongest. ”

"That's pretty much it, your seventh uncle, it's almost done. His ability is getting stronger and stronger, and the world he encounters is becoming more and more terrifying, and even later, his comrades-in-arms dare not cross with him, because the world he went to is too terrifying, as long as he is there, but after crossing, that world will undergo drastic changes and become an extremely terrifying world. ”

Qu Yuanxin sat back in his position and asked slowly: "Grandpa Ding, may I ask, where is the end of the train?"
