Chapter 8: The Past

Ever since Lynch got the book "Sumeru Mustard Seed Haotian Ancient Recipe" in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he stayed at the outer gate, practicing diligently every day, sometimes feeling bored, he walked around, and from time to time he went to the inner door to hang around, and when he met the sect master, he sang a promise, and even had a small conversation.

Time passed like this, Lynch didn't do anything, and his sense of existence gradually diminished.

Twenty years later, Wu Guang died.

Lynch still remembers Wu Guang, the person who registered him when he first came to the outer gate, and was one of the bearers of the outer gate, because there was no hope of breaking through, so he found an errand in the disciples' association to support the elderly.

Finally, he died of old age.

It is said that he was very peaceful when he left, and one day he did not arrive at the disciples' meeting, and one of the disciples went to call him and found him smiling and sleeping in his bed.

This sleep will never wake up.

He was not a big figure in his life, but because of his old qualifications, many disciples still went to his funeral.

Lynch didn't want to go, for 10,000 years, he had sent too many people away, and he couldn't count the many of them. In his infinite life, everyone else seems to be nothing more than a passerby. Countless stories, countless grievances, and countless experiences have been slowly buried in the long river of time.

What is left of the people who have been washed by the river of time?

But in the end, he still went, I can't tell why, not just for Wuguang, a one-sided person, but also because of the inexplicable feelings that suddenly surged in his heart.

Everyone was quiet at the funeral, and perhaps anyone, in front of life and years, couldn't help but feel heavy, even Lynch, who put away his hippie smile.

"Actually, I really hate it. ”

He was talking to himself.

The scene of the past was vaguely visible in front of his eyes.

The white-haired old man sat quietly on the dragon chair, his eyes not knowing where to look.

"Dad, I feel like I'm going. ”

The person he called Dad, his face turned out to be just a young man.

The young man's eyes were silent and he didn't say a word.

The old man muttered, "Dad, why did you say you named me Long Aotian in the first place? You said you don't have the surname Long, but why didn't you tell me your name?" Why didn't you let me follow your surname?"

Lynch looked at the old man's withered face, and his heart ached, "I'm just an ominous person, you don't need to know my name." As for 'Dragon', that's your mother's last name. ”

There was a faint pleading in the old man's cloudy eyes, "You have never told me about your mother, and now that my life is almost over, can you talk to me before you die?" ”

"Alas," Lynch sighed, "back then, when the world was still a struggle for hegemony, and the smoke was everywhere, I came to this world alone. ”

"Alone, father, were you an orphan when you were a child?"

"No, you don't. Lynch shook his head, a look of loss on his face, "No one in this world will understand." It was a real sense of being alone, I was lonely, confused, and even hopeless. I sometimes hate myself, why can't I be like other traverser predecessors, no matter how many dicks I have before crossing, I can quickly become strong after crossing and immediately become a peerless hero. Before I came to this world, I was a waste who relied on the welfare of the citizens of the Human Federation to eat and die, and after I came, hehe, I am still a waste......"

The old man found that he did not understand some words, but he was not prepared to interrupt Lynch's recollections.

"Then one day I was chased by a group of people, in the era of war and chaos, they were so hungry that they wanted to eat human flesh, I was targeted by them, I ran and ran, ran to a lake, I couldn't run anymore, I was thinking, just throw yourself into the lake and die, lying on the bottom of the lake to feed the fish, it's better than being eaten by a group of the same kind. ”

"As a result, I met your mother, I was saved by her, she is the daughter of a big family, her father is a black-hearted grain merchant who made a fortune in the world, but she is very kind, I heard that there are a bunch of people here who have nothing to eat, so she secretly brought some food out of the house. Alas, it was stupid enough that she could feed a few people with a few bags of bread? Those who chased me had something to eat for the time being, and perhaps they had also picked up the lost humanity, and they felt guilty and let me go. ”

"Your mother doesn't plan to go back, and I don't know what she likes about me, so she takes me to wander in troubled times, although she is stupid at first, but she quickly adapts to it, and many times the two of us rely on her tricks to survive. ”

"Hehe......." Lynch's expression was painful, and two lines of tears flowed, "It's ironic, I am a time-traveler, came to this world, and I have to rely on a woman to survive..."

"In such a precarious time, you were successfully born, although the burden of survival has further increased, but looking at you, I feel that there is still hope for the future, and the two of us will definitely eat a little less by ourselves, and we will raise you. ”

"With an extra mouth to eat, we have to be more adventurous to do a lot of things, and we often walk by the river without getting our feet wet, and one day, we got into trouble with a bunch of man-eating beasts. The cycles of the world are so similar, but this time, we don't have bread to feed the hungry wolves. ”

"Your mother, seeing that she can't run away, actually gave up running away on her own initiative, hoping to feed the wolves with her body, temporarily fill them, and let them let me and you go," Lynch couldn't cry for a long time, "I'm a fucking crumb, a piece of waste! At that time, I was still hiding behind her, why didn't I stop her, why didn't I stand up! I was just a scum, a waste!"

(Note: Because some book friends later reported that it was too much of a ghost animal to be eaten alive, it is a special note here that it is not eaten alive, but just killed her, and will continue to kill the protagonist.) )

"After she died, those people were still not satisfied, and wanted to eat me and you, God TM ironically, at this time, I found out that I was immortal. ”

"Fuck the immortal!" Lynch was excited and angry, "The person with the immortal body turned out to be a lazy, death-afraid, and cowardly waste! Since then, I began to have no scruples, your mother's name is Long Ruoyu, I will call you Long Aotian, I will do whatever it takes, and finally gradually pacified the world, calling you Long Aotian, but also to remind me all the time, I am not worthy of being a protagonist, I am essentially just a waste. ”

"The hateful thing is that I don't grow old or die, and now I want to follow your mother, but I can't. ”

Long Aotian was silent, he didn't expect that there was such a story in the past, since he was conscious, his father dared to fight and was ruthless.

"Dad, don't blame yourself too much, cowardice is the common feeling of many people. ”

"It is this 'common sense' that hurts me, in my hometown, science and technology are extremely developed, people's abilities are getting bigger and bigger, but the courage is getting smaller and smaller, all the automated and intelligent world, I don't even dare to kill chickens, there, cowardice is not a crime, the level of productivity is extremely high so that anyone can live well, but this cowardice brings to the troubled times, which is the root of all evil. ”

"Your mother has always hoped that I will be strong, I swear, in the future, I will become the first arrogant person in the whole world, in history, I hope your mother's spirit in the sky will feel gratified......."

Unconsciously, Long Aotian had closed his eyes and stopped breathing. Lynch froze there, only tears on his face.

Lynch also buried his heart.

................

Tears, dripping from the corners of Lynch's eyes, smashed to the ground.

The disciples next to him didn't understand why Lynch was so sad, I didn't hear that someone had a deep relationship with Wu Guang.

Lynch stared blankly at his tears, "I, unexpectedly, shed tears." ”

He hasn't shed tears for nearly 10,000 years, his heart has long been dead, and now he is crying, is it because his heart is gradually alive again?

After all, he came into contact with extraordinary power, extraordinary power, there are infinite possibilities, maybe in the future, he may resurrect Long Ruoyu, although it is difficult, but there is a little bit of hope.

"So, here I am. Lynch's gaze looked into the distance, inexplicably into the distance.
