It was a young man, slightly chubby, round-faced, and pale. When he saw Zhang Linchen on the altar, his eyes lit up, and the whole person was much more energetic, he walked over quickly, and arched his hand: "This fellow Daoist, are you human?"

Zhang Linchen noticed that someone was coming at the beginning, so he withdrew from the sea of qi and no longer observed the villain on the stone slab.

After this person approached, Zhang Linchen saw that he had a kind face, he should be a friendly person, but he didn't expect such a sentence to come.

Zhang Linchen's face darkened, and he said a little speechlessly: "What do you think?"

The young man touched his chin, looked at Zhang Linchen, and said, "Poor Dao thinks that you may be human, but you may not be human. ”

What do you mean I could be human or not? Is this person crazy?

Zhang Linchen immediately said with a smile: "I think you are most likely not human!"

Hearing this, the young man was stunned for a moment and said, "Why?"

"Then why did you just say I'm not human?"

"I ......" The young man just wanted to speak, but he suddenly came to his senses, and then looked at Zhang Linchen, as if he had seen a relative, with one arm, and began to hug him.

Zhang Linchen looked disgusted, and immediately stretched out his hand to stop it, never thinking that the young man would directly hold his hands, shake it vigorously, and said with a sad face: "I finally saw a living person!"

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Linchen asked, and then quickly withdrew his hand.

The young man said suspiciously, "Don't you know?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Zhang Linchen was confused by him.

The young man raised his eyebrows, and he also felt that something was wrong, and he muttered: "Poor Dao was deceived by a group of ghosts in human skin just now, so Poor Dao asked you if you were a human being. ”

"Ghosts in human skin?" Zhang Linchen frowned.

Speaking of this, the young man immediately scolded: "Lao Tzu walked well on the road, who knew that such a group of ghost things suddenly appeared in the monuments on the side, at first I thought they were all Taoist friends who climbed the ladder, but then I found out that it was wrong, these things are all ghosts wearing human skins, opening their teeth and dancing claws, they have been chasing me, they can't get rid of it at all, Lao Tzu's spirit armor has been scratched by them, it's really unlucky!"

Then, he glanced at the altar and said, "It's good that I came here and got rid of them." ”

"How did you get in?" Zhang Linchen said curiously.

"As he ran, he found a hole in the ground, so Lao Tzu had an idea, and immediately hid in it, and then came here, but it turned out to be another world before he arrived. The young man looked at the galaxy on the altar with an excited face, and his eyes seemed to glow.

"Hey, by the way, the poor Dao is called Wang Duan, and you haven't asked for the name of the Taoist friend?" At this time, the young man suddenly arched his hand.

Zhang Linchen also arched his hand and said, "The surname is Zhang, and the name is Linchen." ”

Wang Duan nodded, and then asked with a smile: "Have you ever found anything strange about Linchen Daoist here, why don't you say it and share it?"

Zhang Linchen stood on the altar and said with a blank expression: "I just came here, and I only found this altar. ”

The king let out an "oh" as he stood outside the altar, stooping over the mystery. After a moment, he shook his head, and found nothing, and even if there were lines, he couldn't read them.

"What the hell is this for?" Wang Duan muttered to himself, staring at the white jade altar and the galaxy above, making a thinking motion, and the afterglow of his eyes kept on Zhang Linchen.

And Zhang Linchen was calm, looking at the pensive Wang Duan, showing a look of expectation, as if hoping that he would be able to answer the situation here.

After a while, Wang Duan couldn't find any effective information from Zhang Linchen, and he really didn't understand, so he jumped directly onto the altar and wanted to see it for himself.

"This altar is full of spiritual energy, no wonder the Taoist friends have been staying on it, it just so happens that the poor Dao has consumed a lot, and they also come up to rest for a while. ”

Wang Duan came to the altar, smiled and spoke, and then just wanted to touch the galaxy around him, he was directly stunned, his expression was sluggish, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and his eyes were dull.

Zhang Linchen found something strange about Wang Duan, he waved his hand and opened his mouth to call, but in order to get a response, he thought for a while, and said in his heart: "He should be like me, entering that cold void." Wouldn't he have obtained something as well? Wouldn't that reveal the secret of my acquisition? After all, I came before him, and he would have been able to guess it easily. ”

Zhang Linchen was vigilant, and he immediately walked down the altar, trying to find a way out here. As a result, he found that more than twenty feet away, there were two doors standing there at some point, which made him feel very surprised, it was obviously empty before, and when he looked at it, there was nothing but the altar, why did two doors appear now?

When he walked in, he saw that there were two identical doors, one with the word "out" written on it, and the other with the word "in" written on it.

"What does that mean?"

Zhang Linchen pondered: "'Out' should mean going out, and 'in', does it mean entering?"

He struggled for a while, and finally chose the door engraved with the word "enter", opened the door and walked in, he wanted to see what else existed here?

Stepping over the door frame, Zhang Linchen came directly to another world, his eyes were open, he stood in a depression, and at the end of his vision was the endless mountains, but most of these mountains were fragmented, as if he had experienced a shocking battle.

"Finally came to a more normal place. Zhang Linchen stepped on the solid ground, looked back, and sure enough, the wooden door disappeared again.

He breathed the air here, it was not as fresh as he imagined, and the aura that was free between heaven and earth was also very thin. He looked around, preparing to go to the distant mountain first, observe the environment, and then make plans.

It took him some time to finally come to the top of a mountain, and look out over the vast land, which was barren and lifeless, all broken rocks.

"What the hell is this place?" Zhang Linchen couldn't help but have such a question in his heart.

The many collapsed peaks in the distance proved that there had been an earth-shattering battle in this place, and he found a direction and walked slowly.

He passed by piles of rubble, long ravines, pits after pits, and mirror-smooth stone walls. However, it seems that due to the passage of time, he can hardly see any traces of the battle, only the shattered rocky land.

Zhang Linchen walked while observing the stone slabs in the sea of qi, he had already recorded all the movements of the nine villains transformed by humanoid patterns, even if there were no stone slabs, he could still learn.

However, he always felt that the "Zhuxian Fist" depicted on the stone slab was incomplete, and there seemed to be a part of it missing at the back, and he showed pity on his face.

After a long time, he stood on a high ground and saw the greenery in the distance, he smiled slightly, and quickly accelerated his pace.

The sky was as bright as new, unchanged from beginning to end, and although there were many questions and anomalies, no one answered them for him. And since he entered the ladder, he has experienced a lot of unbelievable things, so it is not surprising.

He came to this place, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be just green earth, and he thought it was some kind of vegetation, but he was disappointed.

Moving on, he was a lone traveler, walking alone in this strange and unknown world, which was obviously wider, more free and unrestrained than on the endless staircase.

"Isn't there life here?"

He walked all the way, and found no sign of life, and this empty and distant world seemed to be alone, alone.

After a long time, Zhang Linchen vaguely saw a black thing appear in the sky, and when he walked in, it seemed to be a city.

Suddenly, his face was overjoyed, and the city actually appeared, which means that there are likely to be human beings here.

Thinking of this, he began to rush to the city non-stop, hoping to learn about the situation of this world as soon as possible, in case he needed it.

When he came closer, he finally saw the appearance of this city, which was very magnificent, dozens of feet high. The blue city wall is mottled and simple, full of various traces, like a small mountain, standing here quietly, through the vicissitudes of time.

Zhang Linchen came to the city gate, the huge stone gate was half covered and half hidden, making people unable to see the scene in the city, quite mysterious.

He didn't rush into the city, but observed outside for a while, and then he noticed the anomaly. As a big city, after such a long time, no one has entered or exited, and it is lifeless, like a dead city.

Zhang Linchen quietly came to the city gate, and through the crack in the door, he saw some scenes inside.

There are ruins everywhere, as if they had experienced a war, and many of the buildings are very dilapidated, with crooked attics and high platforms cut in half.

He walked into the city, came to a tall building that had not fallen, and saw more. As far as the eye can see, the eyes are devastated, the Qiong Tower has collapsed, the temple has been destroyed, and there is not much left of the intact building.

"What's going on here, why is it so bleak, is there a war?"

Zhang Linchen walked in, his steps were gentle, he was worried that there would be unknown dangers here, so he was more cautious.

He observed all the way, and even walked into a relatively well-preserved building, which was very empty except for some dusty and decaying utensils.

He couldn't find anything useful in some of the half-broken buildings, and almost all of them were corrupted and turned to dust when touched.

This dead and silent city has always given him four words: vicissitudes of life.

All traces, all truths, have been covered up by time, buried in the long river of history, and no longer exist.

After walking for a long time, Zhang Linchen finally came to the center of the city, where there was a building with a large area, which was probably the residence of the lord of a city.

He wandered around for a while, but found nothing.

Suddenly, a blue light rushed out from the ruins beside Zhang Linchen, and the speed was extremely fast, forming a phantom that hit his head.

Zhang Linchen's face was shocked, but his movements did not stop at all, and his fist was shining brightly, and he blasted out directly.

The two collided, only to hear a soft sound, Zhang Linchen took a step back, frowning slightly, and the blue light flashed onto a dilapidated building, looking at him condescendingly.

It was a lizard covered in cyan scales, about three feet long, with thick limbs, sharp claws, and a long tail that was relatively flat, covered with green lin, and the cold light flickered, like a long sword.

"Food...... ...... object"

Qinglin Lizard spit out two words obscurely, the fierce light in his eyes was vigorous, he opened his bloody fangs, and pounced on Zhang Linchen again.
