Chapter 1 The Most Precious Things

Next Chapter

The yellow sand desert is inaccessible.

The gray-haired old man took a sheepskin map in his hand and looked at the ruins in front of him. The ruins were not big, just scattered large stones emerging from the yellow sand, as if randomly generated by nature, and the old man was trembling with excitement when he looked at these strange stones.

"Just... This is it. Sunglasses can block the wind and sand, but they can't block the old man's surprised gaze.

"This is it, Gu Lao, you can be regarded as lucky. There are more than 300 days a year that this place is buried by yellow sand, and it is only these days that the desert wind is high, so it is exposed, but I am just a layman, but I can't see the strangeness of this place. "Beside the old man stood a short-haired man with yellow and black skin, wearing a white cloth hat and a scimitar pinned to his waist, which was inlaid with gorgeous gems. It is not noble, because the scimitar is a bargain purchased online.

He is a native of the nearby city in the sand, and this time he specially brought Gu Lao to find this ruin and earn some extra money.

Gu Lao, whose full name is Gu Chengqi, is a master of archaeology, proficient in paleolinguistics, and has an extremely in-depth study of a variety of ancient languages in the world.

"Zhanyue, what are you doing, hurry up and bring my notebook." Gu Lao said loudly to the off-road vehicle parked not far away.

"Here comes the teacher." A young man got out of the car, twenty-three or four-year-old, his skin was a little dark under the perennial wind and sun, but he was tall and tall, his whole temperament was extraordinary, a face was handsome, if it wasn't for his dark skin, he could kill a lot of little white faces, he carried a huge backpack on his back, and walked over quickly.

"Teacher, this is the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of Sand?" The young man looked at the rocks in front of him, and the heat in his eyes was not weaker than that of Gu Lao. Although he is young, he is already a PhD student in paleolinguistics, and his doctoral supervisor is Gu Chengqian. In the past year, he has followed Gu Chengqi to investigate and study everywhere, and he has gained a lot.

Gu Lao squatted beside a messy stone, picking up the sand with his hands, and something was neatly carved on the exposed stone.

"Old Gu? This is? The short-haired man on the side was a little surprised, these graffiti-like things that were inconspicuous to ordinary people had extremely high research value.

"These stones have not been weathered, and the engraved words can be preserved, and I can't even see through the material of this stone for a while, but fortunately this place is sparsely populated, and this place has not been destroyed." The smile on Gu Lao's face couldn't be hidden.

"Zhan Yue, open the ninety-eighth page of the note, this should be the seventh ancient script, see how much we can decipher." Gu Lao was very excited, and the short-haired man on the side was also very curious, helping to clean up the sand around the stone tablet to make the words clearer. After coming here, Gu Lao gave a lot of labor fees, and after going back, he could finally add 4090 to his newborn son as a 100-day gift.

Zhan Yue took out a thick notebook from the huge backpack behind him, opened the notebook, and checked the corresponding meaning against the symbols on the stone tablet.

"Ten thousand... Spirit... This word is the spirit, the crisis of all souls, using this boundary monument as a medium, summoning... Summoning otherworldly wizards, or... Can... Changing your life against the sky? Zhan Yue was confused.

"Is that so? If you read less novels, you won't listen to them, I see that you are stunned. Gu Chengqi glanced at Zhanyue, snatched the notebook, and translated it himself. And Zhan Yue came to the side of the stele aggrievedly, carefully looked at the words on the stele, and reached out curiously to touch it. "Is this zero contact with a mysterious civilization? It's really cool. "As a lover of mystical culture, it's hard not to be excited.

"Old..." Before the word "teacher" could be spoken, the sky and the earth changed color in an instant, and the wind suddenly rose.

"Oh no, the sandstorm is coming, get back to the car!" The short-haired man pulled Gu Chengqi back into the car quickly, and the world was the most fatal.

The two people who returned to the car were shocked, only to find that Zhanyue had not followed.

"Why didn't that little bastard keep up?" Gu Chengqi was about to get out of the car to find Zhan Yue, this desert storm was no joke. Strange to say, however, the dark clouds quickly dispersed, the wind suddenly stopped, and the desert instantly returned to its previous peaceful appearance.

"Zhan Yue!" After the two got out of the car, they found that a big living person had disappeared in a blink of an eye!

"Teacher, Brother Ali..."Zhan Yue shouted loudly, he was very scared now, but he was in a trance for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the yellow sand desert but came to a dark space.

He took out the flashlight from his backpack, and the light kept going, but it didn't reach the end, and the dark space seemed endless. When he pointed the flashlight at the ground, he was even more startled, the soles of his feet were not the earth, but a void, and he was actually walking in the void?

"Teacher~" Zhan Yue tried to shout again.

"Stop arguing, it's rude." An old voice suddenly sounded, and the source of the sound could not be found.

"It's... Where is this? Zhan Yue had some cold sweat on his head, where had a normal person ever encountered such a scene.

The old man's voice sounded again, "This is the realm, the gap between the two worlds. No space, no time, just you and me....."

"Boundary? What kind of old-fashioned premise is this, are you fooling me, I'm highly educated, I'm a staunch materialist! Zhan Yue relied on the roar to hide the panic in his heart, he didn't believe the voice, he just thought he was dreaming.

"Materialism? Good words. It may be a common law in your world, but not necessarily in other worlds. I waited for an unknown amount of time to wait for you, and if you had come later, I might have dissipated, and then you would have been trapped here forever, immortal, immortal, and lonely. The old man's voice was full of exhaustion, he was too tired.

"Who the hell are you?" Zhan Yue calmed down at the moment, after all, there was nothing threatening his life in front of him.

"It doesn't matter who I am, my strength is running out, you take out a thing from your body, the thing you cherish the most, remember, you only have one choice, and this thing will always be with you."

Zhan Yue was a little speechless, but he instantly had the answer in his mind, all the things on his body, the things he cherished the most, naturally could only be it.

Zhan Yue set his sights on the wrist of his left hand, a mechanical watch that is invaluable and sophisticated with state-of-the-art technology and exquisite craftsmanship. Its dial is covered by a sapphire crystal that adds a layer of noble shine, while the case is made of high-strength stainless steel, precisely polished and fine-sanded to make it smooth and durable. The overall design is simple and modern, with streamlined curves, presenting a stylish and dynamic aesthetic.

This is Zhan Yue's adult gift, and it is also the last memorial left to him by his parents, which he regards as a treasure. Even in a realm where there is no time or space, the hands are turning normally.

"Is that it?" The mysterious old man knows everything. The watch on Zhanyue's wrist suddenly bloomed with dazzling light.

"In the name of the god of contract, with the principle of the origin of all things, show the truth of this thing, and take it as a contract!"

When the light dissipated, Zhanyue only felt that he had some more inexplicable connection with this 'dead thing' watch, and there was something more in his mind.

"You are the acquired contractor I created, I thought that with this thing you could not give birth to any decent ability, but I didn't expect that at the end of my life, I could witness such a miracle, and the future of the world of all spirits is handed over to you. Finally, please accept this gift, my power can only give you nine companion seals, good luck. ”

The old man's voice disappeared, and Zhan Yue felt that something had been injected into her mind, and then fainted.
