The smell of burning spices lingered on the tip of Chen Candle's nose, and the light of the ever-bright lamp fell on his smooth forehead, with a faint warmth.

Chen Candle walked through the layers of curtains, and the heaviness of history came to his face, and he was no stranger to this sense of heaviness, or ...... He carries this heaviness with him.

He walked slowly among the various murals, the task of the potato chip girl had been forgotten from the moment he set foot in the temple, and now he only wanted to find the painting that called for him.

It comes from the ancient wilderness, from the breath of the era of dragons and roars.

Chen Candle didn't know why he felt this way, but he instinctively felt this kind of calling...... It's familiar.

It's a bit like a time letter, the kind sent to myself in the future, but Chen Zhu is more hardcore......

Chen Candle walked and walked, and finally stopped in front of a mural.

If Chen Candle could see it, then he would see this painting:

In the vast sea, there are towering cities, roads spanning the sea, and black and white dragons levitating side by side in the sky, each holding a golden scepter with one hand. (The original text of the dragon family, I really can't think of a description that can compare to the original text.) ）

Chen Candle knew that the painting he was looking for had been found.

I saw him lightly touch the mural with his hand, and the breath from ancient times emerged, bringing Chen Zhu back to that era.

Like a gust of wind blowing, Chen Candle felt a little itchy on his face, and a very familiar voice came from his ear: "Coming?" ”

Just like an old friend who has not seen him for many years, on a sunny afternoon, he met to sit under the old tree for a drink, and he was obviously not surprised by Chen Candle's arrival.

But this voice ......

Chen Candle had some doubts in his heart, how could he talk to his own ...... Same?

"Huh." The chuckle of his own voice came to his ears again, a strange feeling, like a schizophrenic patient talking to himself.

But before Chen Candle could finish thinking, a hand reached out to the back of his head and removed the white cloth that covered his eyes.

Chen Zhu didn't have any resistance to this kind of rash contact, you know, the last person who could do it was still Eriyi, and Lu Mingfei couldn't do it.

"Don't you open your eyes and see?" The familiar voice sounded again.

Chen Zhu closed his eyes, "No, the master told me not to open my eyes easily." ”

"If I'm not there, then of course don't open your eyes easily." The man sat down next to Chen Candle, "Don't worry, open your eyes and see, aren't you curious about what this world looks like?" ”

Chen Candle was silent for a while, I don't know why, he was full of trust in the person around him, this feeling was ...... It's weird.

In the end, Chen Candle still chose to believe his words, perhaps because of trust, or because he was already curious about the world.

Chen Zhu opened his eyes lightly and saw the world for the first time.

Mountains and rivers rise and are hidden in smoke. The rivers rush and flow into the sea with mist between roars; And at the end of the sea, on the horizon stands a copper pillar that seems to connect heaven and earth.

The green of the plants, the brown of the rocks, the white of the Yangtze River, and the blue of the sky.

These colors that we are used to are not even as eye-catching as a cup of milk tea in normal times.

Just like Eri Yi is full of curiosity about the outside world, for Chen Candle, a child who can't open his eyes since he was a child, why isn't he curious about what the world looks like?

And now, the world is unfolding before his eyes, and this feeling is ...... It's like a miracle.

It's tear-jerkingly beautiful.

"It turns out that the world ...... That's how it looks, huh? Chen Candle was speechless for a long time, and a line of hot tears slowly left from the corners of his eyes.

A child who had never seen the light knew for the first time what the world was like, and in addition to sounds and shapes, it turned out that the world had colors.

Chen Candle looked at the world curiously, and the person with the same voice next to him did not disturb him, but sat next to Chen Candle and quietly accompanied him.

He seemed to know everything about Chen Candle, so he chose to pull Chen Candle over at this time and give him this gift.

Chen Zhu looked around, and eventually, stopped beside him.

It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, dressed in a plain white robe swaying in the wind, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, bright eyes and bright teeth, a handsome guy with a graceful fairy type that was unique in ten thousand.

Sensing Chen Candle's gaze, the young man turned his head and said with a smile, "Well, this is what we look like." ”

"We?" Chen Candle said in a low voice.

The young man tied the white cloth that he took off from Chen Candle's head in front of his eyes, and a familiar image appeared: a robe, a young man, and a white cloth covering his eyes.

"Yes, we do." , 'Chen Candle' said with a smile: "The past, the present, and the future, we have always been there." ”

"So you're the old me?" Chen Candle was taken aback.

And Chen Candle in the past glanced at him suspiciously, and then said casually: "Have you even forgotten this?" It seems that we will have a bit of a miserable life in the future. ”

"But it doesn't matter, tens of millions of years of travel, amnesia, hehe, it's a novel experience."

Chen Candle glanced at himself in the past, and then did the same, sitting cross-legged with his hands in the sleeves of his robe.

"Novelty?" Chen Candle quickly accepted his past self, and this feeling was as natural as a newborn baby accepting his hands.

"Haha, yes, maybe it's this moment that caused us to lose our memory." Chen Zhule in the past said, "The future me came to me and proposed the fun concept of amnesia, and then the future me will have amnesia." ”

"Life is a journey, and we've been walking so long and seeing so much that there's not much to do to bring novelty."

"Lose all your memories and start over?"

"It's a fun ride."

Chen Zhu pondered, it turned out that it was the present self that told the past me, causing the past me to lose the memory of the present?

Really around!

But it doesn't matter. Chen Candle quickly figured it out, anyway, his memories from childhood to adulthood are there, as for the earlier ones, if not, there will be no more.

Chen Candle smiled in the past, it was convenient for him to communicate with himself, and he knew that he would accept it.

"It's an interesting world." Chen Candle in the past said with a smile, "Class and strength are doomed at the moment of birth, and future development depends entirely on bloodline." ”

"Although such a force will be more stable in terms of rule, but in terms of growth...... Hehe. ”

"Why do you say that?" Chen Candle quickly understood what he meant, but he didn't know the reason, after all, without time and experience, his vision in many things was undoubtedly much worse than his previous self.

"For their leaders will never learn to be humble." Chen Candle said patiently.

"For a race like this, the innate bloodline is everything, which means that their evolution has been locked under one creature, that is, their leader."

"But a leader like this with absolute tyranny will stagnate when they grow to a certain extent, and they will never learn to be humble and not know that there is a bigger world beyond the world."

"Just like the dragons here, even if they have good strength, they are still stuck to this small planet."

"This locks in the upper limit of this race."

"And this group tends to go through three stages."

"First, in the nascent stage, the leader at this time is full of spirits and constantly exploring the upper limit of his strength. At this time, it is the stage when the group grows the fastest. ”

"Then it's time for the second stage, when the leader comes because of a long dictatorship, or for some other reason, there will be a deputy leader."

"It's interesting at this time, no matter how harmonious they start out, but as time goes by, it's an inevitable choice for the deputy leader to issue a challenge, unless an outsider appears."

Hearing this, Chen Zhu glanced at his past self with a strange expression.

'Chen Candle' smiled and spread his hands a little mischievously, "It's a pity that we're late, and the results of their battle have already come out." ”

Yes, in the history of the dragons, the White King was killed by the Black King. Chen Zhu thought.

"In fact, in the second stage, whether the leader successfully defends his throne or the deputy leader succeeds in plotting to win it, in fact, the result will not be much different, and this group will enter the third stage."

"Absolute dictatorship." "They are afraid of new challengers, and then they often choose to strangle a threatening presence in the cradle." ”

"And so, the countdown to the tribe began, and it was not the leader who went mad and wiped out all the tribes or castrated them in some way. It is that the lower classes cannot stand the tyranny of the leader and chooses to resist. ”

"Actually, there is a second possibility." Chen Candle smiled a little helplessly in the past, "That is, there are outsiders." ”

Chen Candle was stunned for a moment and pointed at himself, "Me? ”

"That's right." Chen Candle in the past took off the white cloth and threw it to Chen Candle, and continued: "Whether it is the arrival of outsiders that allows them to discover the new world, and then transfer the contradictions. Or the strength of the outsiders is strong, knocking them down. Their contradictions will be transferred. ”

"Oh." Chen Candle said: "At that point in time, the black king hit the street. ”

"That's why I knocked them down." In the past, Chen Zhule said hehehe, "They are just a little naughty, but they won't let me slaughter them all, so there should be other reasons, civil strife after the strength is greatly reduced?" ”

"The history books say that it was the four great monarchs who united with the human race to kill the Black King Nidhogg."

So it was, Chen Zhu suddenly realized that when he read the history of the Dragon Clan before, he felt strange that the highest point of the Dragon Clan, the Black King, who had even killed the White King, could be killed by his four subordinates and a group of humans.

It turned out that it was the reason why I was beaten up first. Chen Candle knew that the murderer was actually myself.

"Then again, have we been traveling for a long time?" Chen Candle saw his past self looking like he had endured the vicissitudes of life for a long time.

Chen Zhu in the past looked far away, as if recalling the past, "Yes, I have traveled, about 10 million years." ”

"it!" Chen Candle was shocked, he knew that he might be very old, but he didn't expect to be so old!

Originally, I thought that I was also a brother and sister with Eri, but now it's okay, modern people and apes.

Chen Candle was a little melancholy.

But after thinking about it, Chen Zhu had a new question: "Anyway, if we are wandering around like this, we are not afraid of being killed by others one day?" ”

"Death is but the beginning of another journey." In the past, Chen Candle seemed indifferent, "If someone can really give me a ticket to death, it will be a different kind of surprise." ”

"Cut." Chen Candle looked disdainful, "I don't want to die." ”

"Haha, has it changed?" Chen Candle in the past leaned over, looked into Chen Candle's eyes and said, "I see, is it because of some people, there are ...... Someone you like? ”
