Why don't you follow the routine? [Putting through the book]

Yan Qing opened his eyes, saw the darkness, and thought he had arrived in the underworld.

But if you take a closer look, it doesn't look like it. The surrounding space seems to be a vast space with no boundaries, and there are occasional blue light flashes. It's not like the underworld, but more like a four-dimensional space in a science fiction movie.

Yan Qing turned over and sat up and looked carefully, and found that the fluorescent lights were quite regular. Looking carefully, those were actually a series of small runes, just like computer codes.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

[Host, you are awake. 】

The sound was suppressed from the dome, and it still carried an echo, which made Yan Qing's head buzz for a while before he realized, "Ah Jiu?"

Then, as if recalled by the voice, Yan Qing suddenly remembered what happened before she fainted.

At that time, the magic mirror was restrained by the heavenly soldiers of the system. He and Gao Changling were embracing each other with emotion for the rest of their lives. The magic mirror in the beam of light suddenly shattered into several pieces, the pieces passed through the gap of the beam of light, and fell to nowhere like a meteor, and one of the pieces flew straight towards them, and it was about to hit Gao Changling...

He didn't remember very clearly what happened afterwards, anyway, he probably rushed over to block the debris without even thinking about it. Although Gao Changling was saved, he was also hit by this blow until he died young.

Yan Qing clutched her chest, as if the place where she was pierced was still aching.

"Jiu, am I dead?" Yan Qing asked.

[Your body in that world is indeed dead, but I pulled out your soul in time, so the soul is not damaged. 】

Hearing this, Yan Qing secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Where is this?"

[This is a special place for the soul to rest and store. 】

"How long have I been dead?" Yan Qing thought for a while, then added, "I mean the world in the book."

[The speed of space flow is different in different places, the host must have been dead there for more than half a year. 】

"So long?" Doesn't it mean that even the bones are about to rot?

The system seems to have heard his voice, [That fragment of the magic mirror is very powerful, you, the host, are already dead without a whole body. 】The implication is that it doesn't matter if it's rotten or not.

Yan Qing's thoughts were chaotic, deeply moved, his heart was empty, he couldn't tell what it was like, he was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: "How is Gao Changling?"

The system was silent for a while, [He...is not well. 】

If he is gone, he will not be well.Thinking about it, Yan Qing couldn't help but sigh.

[Host, let's go. 】The system suddenly said.

Yan Qing was at a loss: "Go? Where are you going?"

[I'll take you home. 】

Yan Qing shook her head in a daze, and after a while, asked again: "Have I completed my task?"

[We have collected enough information, and the host has also completed the task of clearing the characters in the world. 】

"Is that so..." Yan Qing thought about it again, "Do I have to go back?"

[Originally, the host needs to be sent back to modern times forcibly after death, but the main system said that this mission itself lied to you, and then the virus caused by the poor operation of the world added a lot of unnecessary danger to you, so the main system decided You are given a chance to choose, you can choose to go back, or you can choose to stay. If you stay, the system will help you reshape a physical body according to the previous situation. 】

Yan Qing was in a daze, not knowing what to think, and suddenly said after a while: "Jiu."

【Um? 】

"Can you take me to see what happened to Gao Changling when he was a child?"

【Host you...】

"I want to see it." Yan Qing's eyes were clear and firm, "Please."

The system was silent again, as if this request was difficult to handle. After a while, the system sighed, and a white light suddenly appeared in the originally dark surroundings.

【I can only take you to see it, but remember not to allow people to discover your existence. If you disturb the timeline, not only will it be troublesome to recover, but you may also get lost in the turbulence of time and space and never come back. 】

Yan Qing nodded.

Then the burst of white light became dazzling, and suddenly flashed in front of Yan Qing's eyes, Yan Qing immediately closed his eyes, but he could still feel that the light on the eyelids became brighter and brighter, and finally flickered violently, then dimmed again.

There were bustling voices in my ears.

Yan Qing slowly opened his eyes, seeing a vast expanse of whiteness.

This place seems to be a bustling market somewhere. The time is approaching the Chinese New Year. The streets are covered with snow. Every household is pasted with brightly colored blessing characters and fiery couplets. Countless pedestrians and vendors are jostling with each other, making people feel warm when they look at it.

Yan Qing looked at it for a while, feeling strange, "Where is Gao Changling?"

[You look forward. 】

There was a sea of ​​people in front of her, and she couldn't really see anything, so Yan Qing could only squeeze forward as hard as she could.The system seemed to have added a layer of blindness to him, and he was so rampant, but no one noticed him. He finally squeezed through the crowd and came to a slightly secluded street corner, but he was stunned when he raised his eyes.

In the ice and snow, a thin young man was sweeping the snow with bare feet. He was not wearing a padded jacket in the twelfth lunar month. His lips were black and blue from the cold, and he was shivering. Almost knocked him over.

However, he just lowered his head and rubbed his hands, then began to sweep the snow tremblingly again, with a blank expression on his face, as if it was irrelevant to freeze to death.

Yan Qing's heart ached.

This young man was stooped, skinny, and lacked the air of a big brother in the cultivation world. However, there was a look of Gao Changling in his sluggish brows and eyes. Yan Qing could almost tell at a glance that this young man was Gao Changling when he was a child.

Although he was prepared in his heart, seeing Gao Changling like this, Yan Qing was still so distressed that he couldn't speak.

"Has he...always been like this?"

[Host, you also know that it will take half a year for Gao Changling to make his fortune. Before that, he was just an ordinary person. 】

Yan Qing sighed, but there was nothing he could do, he was just a time traveler, no matter how distressed he was, he couldn't intervene.

The boy still sweeps the snow mechanically, but the wind is getting stronger. No matter how he sweeps, the rolled up snowflakes will soon scatter all over the ground again. , but the body trembled more and more.

Yan Qing stood by his side, watching and suddenly felt something was wrong.

It's too numb... That expression seems to be completely devoid of the expression that a person should have. No matter whether you are happy or sad, or even dislike and resentment, you can't see traces on this face. He is like a wooden dummy. Eyes are just nicer glass beads.

Yan Qing felt terrified and uneasy for no reason. This feeling was like... as if he was about to lose his grip on something.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he understood.

At this time, Gao Changling probably didn't want to live at all.He has no relatives, no friends, no worries, and the only way to help others is to make a living, but he has been bullied day and night, which has already worn his heart to the point of exhaustion, as he himself said, if Without Song Qing's helping hand, he would definitely not be able to survive this winter.

"Where is Song Qing? Shouldn't she come and save him?" Yan Qing asked the system.

[I don't know the exact time, but it is indeed a recent period of time. 】

"Can you get her to come here sooner?"

[My host has limited abilities, and this is a cause and effect that has already happened. If I forcefully interfere, it will easily cause confusion. 】

Yan Qing frowned, her lips were bloodless.

The young man was still sweeping the snow, but his movements were much slower - he was completely frozen - as he was sweeping, he suddenly trembled and raised his head to look at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing was startled, thinking that he had noticed her, but the young man's eyes passed by him directly, looking behind him, Yan Qing followed and looked back, her breath stopped immediately.

On a street corner not far away, there was a peddler carrying a shoulder pole with bunches of bright red candied haws stuck in one end. A couple with children passed by. When the child saw the candied haws, he made a fuss, and the parents immediately led him to buy them. After one bunch, the child was satisfied and laughed happily while holding the candied haws. His father picked him up and sat on his shoulders, and the family of three walked away slowly, talking and laughing.

For the first time, Gao Changling's eyes changed, slowly revealing an unbearable longing. He stretched his neck and watched the family walk away, then slowly lowered his head, and gently twitched his shoulders, as if sobbing.

Yan Qing finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He turned around abruptly, threw the purse to the shopkeeper, pulled out a candied haws and ran towards Gao Changling, the warning sound in his head instantly rang out, mixed with the system's angry scolding, but Yan Qing No matter, he doesn't care about anything, he only knows that Gao Changling is lonely and helpless now, and he must go to his side.

[You are crazy host!You will get lost in the turbulence of time and space! 】

But Yan Qing turned a deaf ear to it, seeing that the system couldn't stop it, and didn't know what to do, the wind and snow suddenly picked up on the street, and the blown snowflakes were white, almost covering the sky, Yan Qing walked forward against the wind and snow , and finally stuffed the candied haws into Gao Changling's hands.

"Take it, live well!" Yan Qing shouted, "You will become the most powerful and famous person in the world in the future, don't be discouraged, live well for me..."

Speaking of this, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, Yan Qing used all her strength to hug him into her arms, feeling his stiff and trembling body in her arms.

"You must live well, until the day when I come to find you..."

In an instant, the world was spinning, and all kinds of scenery around were twisting and retreating crazily. Yan Qing subconsciously wanted to grab Gao Changling's clothes, but he didn't touch anything. The boy's astonished expression flashed before his eyes. He fell into chaos.

【Are you crazy!If you want to die, I can directly destroy your soul without you having to bother! 】

The roar of the system almost toppled his spirit cap.

Yan Qing rubbed her ears, shook her head vigorously, and it took a long time to calm down, "Jiu, I'm sorry, I promise there will be no next time."

【Humph! 】

"But..." Yan Qing thought about the scene just now, "Am I the one who saved him in the ice and snow?"

The system was silent for a moment, 【Host, you are an outsider in this world. Generally speaking, you cannot leave cause and effect. Any out-of-the-ordinary actions will be modified by the main system to prevent chaos. 】

Yan Qing understood, that is to say, the person who saved Gao Changling was indeed him, but because he was a foreigner, the karma was transferred to Song Qing.

What a bargain for that woman.Yan Qing's toothache just thinking about it.

"Speaking of which, where is this place?" Yan Qing looked around and found that he landed on a rocky island again this time.

Clouds and mists rolled in the distance, and there was rumbling thunder. This scene was very familiar. Yan Qing walked to the beach step by step, and saw two figures vaguely under a leeward reef. He took a closer look and was surprised. .

Those two people, a man and a woman, were covered in blood, and they were obviously seriously injured, but what surprised Yan Qing was not this, but the man with handsome features, clearly Gao Changling.

It is not entirely accurate to say that it is Gao Changling. It should be said that it is Gao Changling when he was young. At this time, he has gradually faded from the youthful innocence, but he is far from the point where he will look down on the world later.

"Chang Ling, Chang Ling, hold on, my father will bring reinforcements soon, you must hold on!" the woman said anxiously.

"I'm so injured, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait." Gao Changling shook his head and smiled wryly, "Besides, we brought out all the elites of the Song family this time, but it's a pity that they all fell into the mouth of the dragon. I can't bring out reinforcements..." He coughed again.

Yan Qing suddenly realized that this scene was probably the last time when the flood dragon attacked Wanghai City and Song Qing died.

"No, Chang Ling, you must survive!" Song Qing raised her sword and looked into the distance, "Let's fight that dragon, break out together, and then go to other fairy gates for help!"

"My spiritual power is exhausted, I'm at the end of my strength, and I can't get out." Gao Changling grabbed Song Qing's clothes and smiled at her, "Qing'er, don't worry, I will definitely protect you out."

Hearing this, Song Qing's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gao Changling said again, "The flood dragon will probably come here soon, we have to act immediately, I will restrain it, you take the opportunity to escape, let's..." Gao Changling suddenly smiled, "We are destined, we will see each other again."

Song Qing frowned tightly: "No, isn't this going to send you to die? We swore at the beginning that we would suffer together, and we will die together today. Don't even think about leaving me behind!"

Gao Changling opened his mouth, as if he still wanted to persuade her, but seeing Song Qing's determination to risk life and death, he couldn't help being moved, so he opened and closed his lips a few times, and finally lowered his head, there was an unspeakable smile at the corner of his mouth .

But Yan Qing could see clearly, when Gao Changling lowered his head, a trace of coldness flashed across Song Qing's face.

Yan Qing suddenly became vigilant.

He has always had a question in his mind - back then in Wanghai City, why did Gao Changling send his fiancée to death so ruthlessly?

Based on his understanding of Gao Changling, Song Qing had affection for him when he was a child, and even more so when he was a grown-up. , at most run back by himself, it won't harm anyone.

And just now, looking at Gao Changling's expression, he was obviously being manipulated by Song Qing to death, he was really tempted, and even spared his own life for Song Qing, why did he keep such secrets about Song Qing later, and even became a heartache?

Yan Qing had an intuition that something was tricky here, but before he could think of anything, the two men over there had already rested and stood up, and flew towards a cloud of thunder and lightning together with their swords together.Yan Qing subconsciously raised her leg to follow, but found that she couldn't fly without a sword.

"Nine, give me a vehicle." He tapped the system in his mind.

[If you don’t give it, you’ll die if you give it to me, why don’t you just stand here and watch! 】

"It's so far away here, what can I see?"

【…】

The system is quite loyal. After a moment of silence, Yan Qing found a thick fog in front of him, and there was the faint sound of swords and swords. But after a while, the body of Jiaolong and two flying figures appeared in the fog, and he went forward. He was trying to get together, but bumped into a transparent wall, unable to move forward.

[This is just an image, host, just stay here and don't move! 】The system is angrily.

Yan Qing sighed secretly, thinking that he had really pissed off this guy just now, so he didn't move at the moment, and just stood there watching them fight.

The video is so realistic, Yan Qing seems to be watching a big-budget 4D movie.In the beginning, Gao Changling and Song Qing were able to fight back and forth with Jiaolong, but gradually, the two of them began to lose their spiritual power, stretched to the left and right, even Yan Qing could see that their decline had been revealed, and they would never probably won.

The two sides stalemate for a long time, Gao Changling and the others finally couldn't hold on anymore, Jiaolong slowly straightened up and opened his bloody mouth to them, Gao Changling's face was pale, but he still tightly guarded Song Qing behind him.

At this time, Song Qing moved.

She didn't run away, nor did she rush forward to fend off the enemy. This woman seemed to have been preserving her strength. At this time, she attacked quickly and ruthlessly. There was a wound with deep bone visible, and blood flowed profusely immediately.

Yan Qing was dumbfounded. He had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't expect Song Qing to deliberately deceive Gao Changling, and then sneak attack from behind.

"I'm sorry, Chang Ling." Half of Song Qing's pretty face was covered with blood, and her eyes were indescribably fierce.

Gao Changling looked at her in disbelief.

"You don't have to look at me like that. People don't kill themselves. You were chosen to protect the Song family. Now, you should fulfill your mission." As she spoke, she seemed unable to bear to turn her face away, "I will... Always remember you."

Gao Changling was stunned for a long time, and suddenly his eyes turned cold, and he stretched out his hand to grab her neck. Song Qing didn't expect that Gao Changling, who was seriously injured, would still have the strength to fight back, and was immediately pinched powerless.

Her lips moved slightly, as if she had something to say, but Gao Changling didn't give her the chance to speak, turned around and threw her into Jiaolong's mouth.

The sharp fangs gradually closed, Jiaolong had eaten enough people, and left contentedly, the fog gradually dissipated, the sky became clear again, between the sky and the earth, only Gao Changling was alone, his white clothes were stained with blood, and his expression was terrified.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head, finally showing the mocking indifference that Yan Qing had seen before.

There was nothing in this world that he could believe in.

Yan Qing silently watched him go away, and the surrounding scene changed again. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had returned to the pitch-black space that glowed with fluorescent light at the beginning.

[Host, have you finished watching? 】

Yan Qing nodded.

[Then what do you want to do next? 】

Yan Qing stretched out her hand to hold her head, and scratched at her messy hair.

[Have you thought about it yet? 】

"Hmm..." Yan Qing lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time, until the system couldn't help but want to speak first, but he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Can I go home and have a look? Just... just to have a look."

After a moment of silence, the system seemed to sigh, and then Yan Qing's eyelids became heavy, and she passed out directly.
