Before Yan Qi left, he bid farewell to Xiang Congming and Fang Yan, "I have to go, I have talked with the Dragon King, he can help the Transformers for free, but he wants me to do one thing for him, I agree Got him, the only problem is that my ability is limited and I can't guarantee it will be successful, if it is successful I will be back in time, if not..." He sighed, "I'm sorry."

Both Xiang Congming and Fang Yan were silent, and Xiang Congming asked, "Why are you willing to help us for free?"

Yan Qi smiled, "You may think it's free, but in my opinion it's not." In the future, he will get the most precious reward.

Fang Yan asked: "Is it dangerous?"

"No." Yan Qi said, "Under normal circumstances, regardless of success or failure, I will come back, but there is no guarantee. So you should prepare for the worst." He knew the result.

Fang Yan hesitated, "Why don't you go? This is our business after all..."

Yan Qi shook his head, no, there is also his reason for this matter.

Xiang Congming said solemnly: "Thank you."

Yan Qi smiled, "Goodbye."

Before opening the door of time and space, Yan Qi first talked to Du Deng about the possible danger: "Maybe we will appear in the sky, what race are you? Are you resistant to falling?"

"..." Du Deng said, "It's okay."

Yan Qi thought it was all right, he had no intention of caring about the Dragon King's subordinates.

The light tendrils flew, and they disappeared in place.

Instead of appearing in the air, they appeared on the water, and of course they fell into the water.In the end, Du Deng fished Yan Qi ashore.

Sitting on the beach, Yan Qi thought angrily: something must go wrong.Just be careful not to appear in the air, forgetting that you may fall into the sea.Fortunately, it is daytime now, if it fell into the sea at night, it would be too miserable.He looked at Du Deng, "Thank you just now. You have tentacles? Are you also a cotton tree?" Du Deng dragged him ashore with his tentacles just now.It looks the same as Du Yi's tentacles.

Du Deng said: "Have you seen the Cotton Trees?" They are not many in number. Could it be that this Luo Yin has a good relationship with one or some Cotton Trees?

Yan Qi said: "Of course I won't tell you. What if you lose your nerve and go to him?" Just like the Dragon King went to Qin Mo.

"I won't interfere with their lives." Du Deng thought for a while, "at least not like the Dragon King."

"Heh." Yan Qi sneered, then got up, looked around, frowned, "This should be Kunyu, right?"

Duden said, "I have to ask you."

Yan Qi shook his head, "No, I have to ask the locals."

An hour later, they found the locals. There were certain language barriers, but they finally figured it out: the location was correct, it was Kunyu, but the time was wrong. It was not 1900, but 1905.

Two hours later, Yan Qi and Du Deng came to the center of Kunyu. The streets are not as spacious as they were 100 years later, and the ground is made of stone, and the houses are also made of stone. Compared with the metropolis in the future, now It's just a small town here.

Yan Qi said: "Then let's find out if that restaurant is still there? After all, I'm only five years behind."

Du Deng remained silent, probably because he didn't want to offend him right now.

The small town is not big, and Yan Qi and Du Deng found the restaurant not long after, but the painting was no longer on the wall.

Yan Qi sighed, then looked at Du Deng, "Then eat first?"

This small shop actually has a menu, although it is simply written on a piece of red paper. After ordering two dishes, he handed the menu to Yan Qi. Yan Qi squinted his eyes for a while. Just click on two words.

While waiting for the food, Du Deng said: "Maybe you can try again, it's only 5 years away."

Yan Qi looked at the decoration of the store and the other customers, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. Someone told me that history is elastic, and I guess it wants to bounce me away. Tell me, why do people here see us and don't like us?" I don't think it's surprising." A new face suddenly appeared in a town with a small population, but no one paid attention.

"This is the seaside, and people from other places often come to trade." Du Deng looked at the blank space on the wall where there should have been a painting, "It means you can't get that painting? Then why did you agree to come?"

Yan Qi said: "I have to try. And I also really want to find out what the Dragon King wants the 'Tree of Life' for. If I ask, will you tell me?"

Du Deng lowered his head and didn't speak. He was originally a taciturn person. He looked thin and inconspicuous, but he would always follow the Dragon King. He must be a very powerful person.

Yan Qi said: "By the way, can you see my vines? Everyone in the Cotton Tree tribe should be able to see them, right?"

Du Deng looked up, "What the Dragon King really wants is not the 'Tree of Life', he just wants to find something through it."

"That painting is just a prop?" Yan Qi frowned, "What is he looking for?"

"You can only know after seeing the 'Tree of Life'."

When the dishes came, there were two bowls of very disgusting mushy unidentified objects, Yan Qi said: "I ordered these?"

All nodded.

Yan Qi beckoned to the boss, and said to Du Deng, "Order two more normal bowls for me."

The boss seemed to understand Yan Qi's words, and gave him a very displeased look.

During the meal, Yan Qi asked Du Deng, "If I plan to win you over, is it impossible for me to succeed?" , Are you going to call him an idiot again?

Du Deng was very calm. After a moment of silence, he said: "Don't you think you are a bit like the Dragon King?"

"what?"

"He's going to do anything," Dudden said. "And you, too, came here recklessly. You didn't have any confidence—we fell straight into the ocean, but you did it."

Yan Qi put down his chopsticks, put his face on his hand, thought for a while and said: "It's different, I try to do the right thing, and there is no sign of going wrong with this matter."

Du Deng looked at him, "Even if you get the painting, the Dragon King will still take those two Xiang family children away."

"Wait, you said two?"

Du Deng said: "Yes, two, besides Xiang Congming, he has also been in contact with another family. Maybe you know which one is correct? Is the correct one Xiang Congming's child? That is what can be used to threaten Yours?"

Yan Qi did not answer.The Dragon King should now know that the correct one is Xiang Congming's child, right?After all, he went to Zhaoshan... No, Kunyu is not the territory of the Dragon King, maybe he didn't know if he had seen another family, and maybe he thought he went to Xiang Congming because he was the patriarch? "Why do you say that the Dragon King doesn't intend to keep his promise?"

"Because one of those two kids could be a Jin Yue clan. He seems very interested in it," Dudden said.

Yan Qi said, "He wants a child? Can't he have one?"

Dudden said: "I wouldn't ask him this kind of question. But he probably won't go back on his word and say that he didn't keep his promise, and he will make another deal with you."

"A deal that is always beneficial to him." Yan Qi frowned, "Can you guess what other deal he plans to make with me?"

Du Deng said, "For example, to tell you news about other Luo Yin tribes."

Yan Qi was taken aback, "Is there really another Luo Yin clan, or is he planning to lie to me?"

"It's happened before," said Dudden.

Yan Qi asked: "Have you seen it?"

Du Deng nodded slightly, he also put down his chopsticks, and looked at the table silently.

"Can you tell me something about him? What happened to him?"

Dudden said, "I don't know."

Yan Qi asked, "Don't know?"

"Disappeared. To the past, or to the future."

Yan Qi asked, "When did this happen?"

Duden said: "It was very early, almost 300 years ago."

"Is it more than 300 years ago relative to the present?"

Du Deng shook his head, "No, compared to our 1994."

It was still very early, Yan Qi continued to ask: "You really can't tell me more about him?"

Du Deng shook his head.

Yan Qi asked: "Why not? I will never do anything against him."

Dudden said: "This matter is related to my friend, and I promise not to talk about it with others."

Yan Qi frowned, "Then you should not say anything."

"Yes." Du Deng actually smiled, "I just thought it wouldn't hurt to tell you at all." He called the boss to check out, and asked the boss, "Boss, I remember there was a painting on your wall before, why isn't it there now?" Already?" He gestured with the boss for a long time, "A painting, a painting with trees on it..." Finally, he figured it out. Five years ago, there was a fire here, and everything in the shop was burned. Lost.

Yan Qi asked, "Who painted that painting?"

Du Deng made gestures with his boss for a long time.The boss said that a passer-by gave him the gift.

Yan Qi asked, "What does that person look like?"

Du Deng glanced at Yan Qi with some resentment, and then continued to have a difficult exchange with the boss, who said it was a man in a cloak.

It seems that the person deliberately didn't want people to see it. Well, this matter is a bit complicated.Yan Qi asked: "Boss, how much do you know about that painting? Do you still remember what that painting looked like?"

No matter how much Du Deng gestured this time, the boss couldn't explain why, and he was a little impatient. The two guests were asking questions. Isn't this a waste of his time? He still has to greet others. What about the guests?

Yan Qi finally said to Du Deng: "Ask the boss if he has any spare rooms in his house, and if so, can he rent two rooms for us."

As soon as he heard that there was a business, the boss became enthusiastic again, and personally took them to the backyard, and arranged two rooms that were said to be the best for them.But the room wasn't good enough for them, ie it was small and poorly lit.

Du Deng asked, "Are you going to live here?"

Yan Qi smiled, "No, you plan to stay here, sorry, please wait for me here, I'll be back soon." After speaking, the luminous vines quickly wrapped around him, and he disappeared from the spot.

Then, Yan Qi fell into the sea again, but this time he was rescued again. He knelt on the ground and spat water, "I already have a shadow on the sea..." Yan Qi looked around, amazingly, this It was the place where he and Du Deng had been together before, and he said angrily: "How much do I like this place?!" Of course, he was still very glad that it was daytime, otherwise it would not be so easy to be seen and rescued. come up.He looked up at his rescuer, it was a very pale strange young man, he was wearing a ponytail, wearing modern clothes, standing aside dripping wet, uh, this is troublesome, a modern man , where did it come from, how did it come from, is it an enemy or a friend...

The man next to him spoke, "Are you okay?"

"Thank you for your help." Yan Qi stood up and smiled at the man, "Can I ask who you are and where you come from?"

The man said: "My name is Fu Rong. I came from the future. You told me that you would fall into the sea and almost drowned. I think I should come to help you. By the way, you are still innocent." What was it like when you were in the middle of the night." When the man said this, there was no expression on his face, and he looked quite weird.

Innocent... Yan Qi made a nauseous grimace, and then asked, "Will we meet later? Can you also travel through time and space?"

Fu Rong sat down on the beach, "Yes, we will meet later. Specifically, this is not the first time I have met you, but this is the first time you have seen me. I do not have the ability to travel through time and space, I pass The time gate you built came here."

Yan Qi was surprised, squatted down and looked at Fu Rong, "So I will really become better in the future?"

Fu Rong nodded, "Very powerful."

Yan Qi laughed and said, "Can you tell me more?"

Fu Rong shook his head, "No."

Yan Qi frowned, "Why?"

"Because you told me not to."

Yan Qi was stunned for a while, then shook his head, "That person is not me, what else did he say to you?"

Fu Rong thought for a while, then shook his head, "No. But after I go back this time, I can ask him if there is anything I want to bring you."

Yan Qi smiled and said, "Okay. Then can you tell us about yourself? Who are you?"

Fu Rong said: "You will know later."

Yan Qi shook his head, "I really don't know what you are here for. By the way, what year is it now?"

"1900."

"Oh, that's good, right time, right place." Yan Qi jumped up happily.

Fu Rong smiled slightly.

Yan Qi said, "So, do you want to go with me? Or do you have to go back?"

Fu Rong supported the beach with his hands and stood up, "I have one day, let's be with you."

"It will take two hours." Yan Qi led the way.

"no problem."

Yan Qi said: "It seems that you are physically fit. What race are you?"

Fu Rong said: "You will know later."

"You are really boring..."
