There was something wrong with my past life

Next, from the mouth of the local veteran driver Shui Changshan, everyone also learned something about this small world.

A long, long time ago, the ancestors who lived here lived in dire straits, and the entire land was infested with bloodthirsty monsters, as well as extraterrestrial evil spirits scurrying in from the cracks in the outer space.

I don't know how long these days lasted, until the emperor raised the war flag and led the tribe to fight. It took hundreds of years to finally conquer the current territory, allowing the tribe to establish a foothold here to cultivate their health and rest.

However, in the final battle that lasted for three days and three nights, although they won the victory, the victory was extremely brutal. The mountains of bones were filled with blood, and even the beloved empress who had been with the emperor for many years died. , which is very sad.

"The emperor, do you have a portrait or something to record your appearance?"

Nangong Ritian, who was becoming more and more interested in the Emperor Ritian, asked curiously, wanting to see the image of the Emperor in advance.

"As the ruler of this place, the emperor naturally exists. There is a statue of the emperor erected in the royal city to be admired by all the people. It just so happens that there is also a portrait of the emperor in the battle in the city lord's palace. It just so happens that you can take a look at it, Mr. Nangong. "

With that said, Shui Changshan took out a scroll of paintings from his storage ring and slowly unfolded it.

The scroll unfolded, and inside was a tall man wearing golden armor. Although it was only drawn on paper, the painting work was extremely exquisite, and there was a certain aura of solemnity and majesty that appeared on the paper.

But the only pity is that the emperor's face is also covered with a golden mask, which looks cold and cold, and the true face underneath cannot be seen at all.

"Is there a portrait of the emperor without a mask?" Chu Ran, who was on the side, came over. After seeing the complete portrait, he turned his head and asked, "It's impossible to see the true face clearly with just this look!"

Shui Changshan shook his head: "No, even the statue of the emperor erected on the Royal City Square is the image of the emperor wearing a mask."

"Could it be that this emperor is extremely ugly, so he wears a cold mask all day long and doesn't want to see people?" Chu Ran analyzed reasonably from the sidelines.

Hearing this person slandering the emperor, Shui Changshan looked a little unkind, but remembering that his life was still in the hands of these people, he did not dare to show it, and could only retort with words: "Of course not! The emperor just raised his eyebrows When Zhanqi was conquering the world, he did not wear a mask, but later because his face was too handsome, he wore this ferocious mask to scare those foreign kids!"

"Why does this reason for wearing a mask sound like the plot of a TV series I have watched before?" Chu Ran muttered quietly from the side.

And for some reason, relying on his sixth sense, he always felt that the reason why the emperor wore the mask was not as simple as Shui Changshan said, and he felt that there was some huge secret hidden behind it.

There is no reason for this feeling, it is just a simple intuition, just like the terrifying intuition a woman has when she catches an adulterer.

But there is no use thinking about it now. After all, I have never met the emperor. Even if the other person really has some big secret, it has nothing to do with me and others.

On the other hand, Nangong Ritian, who was on the side, grabbed the portrait of Emperor Ritian that Shui Changshan took out, and looked at it with a fascination, looking very intoxicated.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you grabbing a man's portrait and staring at it?"

Ning Ye patted his shoulder lightly and asked with some confusion, because he had never seen his third brother show such an expression.

It's just a simple portrait of a character. A few casual glances are enough. Is it necessary to look at it so fascinatedly, to stare at it as if it's some kind of inappropriate picture for children, and to almost put your whole face on it? ? This is really inconsistent with the appearance of Nangong Ritian on a daily basis!

Nangong Ritian, who was tapped on the shoulder, suddenly trembled and looked away from the scroll as if waking up from a dream, but his expression was still a little dazed.

As a good gay friend, Chu Ran couldn't help but stepped forward and asked with concern when he saw his third brother's abnormal state: "Third brother, are you okay? Is it possible that you, who consider yourself straight, were directly bent by this portrait? ? If that’s the case, you don’t have to feel shy, just say it out loud when you love me. My eldest brother and I are very open-minded and will never discriminate against your sexual orientation!”

Hmm... As expected, as an unscrupulous cheater, the key points in his mind and the way he comforts people are so different.

"I'm a male and I like women! It's impossible to be gay. It's impossible to be gay in this life!"

It has to be said that although Chu Ran's caring words of greeting were very unruly, the effect was very significant. In an instant, Nangong Ritian woke up, his expression was no longer sluggish, and he sternly declared his indestructible straightness. orientation.

Chu Ran curled his lips, smiled and joked: "Then why were you staring at this portrait before?"

"You may not believe it when I tell you, but when I see the portrait of this emperor, I always feel an unusual sense of familiarity for some reason, just like when I first met the eldest brother and the second brother, I felt like old friends at first sight, so I was fascinated by it for a moment..."

Having said this, Nangong Ritian couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at the portrait of the emperor wearing golden armor and gold tools, full of solemn and majestic air.

"If that's the case, that would be very interesting!"

Chu Ran touched his chin, with an extremely serious look on his face, and then continued: "I'm thinking, if it's as you said, third brother, that the Emperor of Heaven is also an interesting person with a similar personality, we may have to have one more person. We are sworn brothers. But the only question now is about seniority. I don’t know how old this emperor is. Although our current eldest brother Ning Ye is already very old, as the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and this kind of talent is extraordinary. The fact is...ahem!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted directly.

Ning Ye picked up the unknown black fruit on the table and stuffed it directly into Chu Ran's mouth, blocking his next words.

When I saw this unscrupulous cheater with such a serious expression before, I thought he was really starting to analyze some serious issues when he changed his gender. However, it turns out that it is easy to change one's nature and hard to change. Chu Ran, this cheater's mind , I have never done anything serious, and I am already considering the issue of seniority ranking.

Ning Ye was very puzzled as to why she took the position of sworn brother, and the reason was indeed very difficult to explain.

You know, there are not only a few of them in the house now, but Dongfang Qingyue has also been staying silently aside. It would be very bad if she knew the meaning of this.

Not long ago, she seriously asked herself about the ranking of her three brothers. It was really puzzling why she, the one with the lowest cultivation level, took the position of the eldest brother.

Although I didn't deceive her at the time, my words were vague, which caused her to have some misunderstanding that they were sorted by age.

If the truth is exposed, it will be completely over!

As an upright and just person, Ning Ye said that she really couldn't afford to lose that person.
