Volume 2: Awakening from a Dream, Everything Comes to Nothing Chapter 160: The Shackles of Fate Extra
The night was getting darker and darker, so much so that Zhou Qingmu, who had been looking at the moonlight and thinking, didn't realize that the young man beside him had fallen asleep on his shoulder.
And Xiao Ye, who was still standing on the city wall before, disappeared without knowing when.
At a certain moment, Zhou Qingmu suddenly came back to his senses, and his expression became slightly serious.
He turned around and saw that a bird that had been pecking on the ground for some reason was still there, motionless.
Even the snoring of the boy beside him stopped completely, as if his breathing also stopped at this time.
Not just here, Zhou Qingmu faintly noticed that the entire Chiyan City seemed to have fallen into a deathly silence at this moment.
It was as if I was the only living creature left in the world.
What kind of powerful method is this?
In Zhou Qingmu's memory, it seems that he has never heard of anything that can stop time!
In this silence, the faint sound of footsteps could be heard in Zhou Qingmu's ears.
Step by step, she gradually walked towards him.
Zhou Qingmu subconsciously followed the footsteps and turned his head to look. In his eyes, there appeared a young man wearing a gray robe and a hat attached to the clothes, but his face could not be seen clearly... a boy?
But soon, he felt an extremely obscure aura on this person's body, but Zhou Qingmu also instantly became alert, because he vaguely sensed that the aura exuding from this person might be able to kill him in an instant.
He erases it!
This is an aura that neither Senior Xuanjiu nor Mr. Ye has felt before! Maybe these two people have never released such a huge aura to him, but these are not important...
At this moment, Zhou Qingmu could be extremely sure that the person who used the means to stop time was the young man in gray robe in front of him!
Therefore, Zhou Qingmu did not run away, but quietly waited for this person to come.
Since this person came looking for him, there must be something wrong with him. If this person has no murderous intention, he is naturally not in any danger. If this person comes to kill him, he will not be able to leave even with such means!
The young man in gray robe walked very slowly, but walked step by step in front of Zhou Qingmu.
Zhou Qingmu looked at the person in front of him. He saw eyes that seemed to be indifferent to everything in the world and a pale young face. He subconsciously picked up the wine gourd and took a sip.
Immediately, Zhou Qingmu said tentatively: "Why are you here?"
The young man in gray robe suddenly moved his eyes and stared at him, as if he wanted to see something in him.
Zhou Qingmu looked at those eyes, as if he were looking into an abyss from the void, but in those indifferent eyes, it seemed that the original memory became clearer unknowingly.
But after a moment, he withdrew his eyes that made people feel fear. Then, the young man in gray robe said indifferently: "Are you Zhou Qingmu?"
The indifferent voice of the young man in front of him echoed in Zhou Qingmu's ears, but it was not just indifferent, it seemed to be full of death. Looking at the pale face of the young man, Zhou Qingmu even felt from the bottom of his heart that this person should speak.
This is what it looks like.
Zhou Qingmu nodded subconsciously and asked, "Do you recognize me?"
The young man in gray robe did not reply immediately, but raised a hand, and a simple book floated out from his sleeve. After holding the book and glancing at it briefly, the young man said indifferently: "What can I do in this continent?"
We don’t have much time, and we still have to guard against certain people, so I’ll keep my story short. I come from a very far away place, and I’m ten thousand years from the time you are in now.”
Before the gray-robed boy could finish speaking, Zhou Qingmu stood up from the ground and carefully looked at the person in front of him. He couldn't help but feel deeply suspicious about what this person said.
He has been struggling in the world for so many years, and now he has an extremely dazzling cultivation level in the eyes of his peers, but he has never heard of anything that existed from many years later to the present?
This kind of thing is extremely unacceptable for anyone, right?
The young man in gray robe also stopped speaking. He looked at the person in front of him and seemed to know what he was thinking. Then he said indifferently: "The world you live in is too weak, so naturally you cannot know where the real power lies in the world. But.
You don’t have to doubt…”
As he said that, the gray-robed boy stretched out a finger and pointed it on Zhou Qingmu's forehead. When the finger was about to approach, Zhou Qingmu was shocked to find that he had no power to resist!
After a bit of gray light entered Zhou Qingmu's eyebrows, a green light briefly touched it, but then disappeared immediately.
The young man in gray robe was slightly surprised when he saw this, but he quickly put down his finger and stared at Zhou Qingmu indifferently.
...
Somewhere thousands of miles away, a young girl in green glanced towards the north for an instant, and there seemed to be a coldness in her eyes.
She murmured softly: "What did he meet again? Why did he make me feel some familiar atmosphere..."
Immediately, her figure disappeared.
...
At this time, in Zhou Qingmu's heart, it could be said that there was an uproar!
Because deep in his heart, there was a voice exactly like the young man in front of him, telling him everything he had encountered in his life in detail!
There were many things that even Yang Zhao didn't know about, but this young man in gray robe knew everything!
Moreover, the young man in gray robe told him a story about "The Long River of Time".
After Zhou Qingmu calmed down the turmoil in his heart, he once again turned his attention to the gray-robed boy and said in a deep voice: "So, what is your purpose of crossing the long river of time to come here?"
The young man in gray robe closed the ancient book in his hand and looked at Zhou Qingmu. After thinking for a while, he said indifferently: "I once accidentally saw your story in the long river of time. It is not a good story, but I want to change it."
This story, that’s why I’m here.”
Zhou Qingmu just looked at him and said nothing.
"If I tell you that in your story, your expectations of this world will later turn into disappointment. Do you want to change?" Upon seeing this, the gray-robed young man stared at Zhou Qingmu with his dark eyes.
Zhou Qingmu still didn't speak, just shook his head.
The young man in gray robe seemed very surprised by this result and glared at Zhou Qingmu: "If I say that everything you have now was given by the so-called superior people in your world, everything about you has been changed in advance. If
You are a chess piece that has been prepared in advance since you were born, a chess piece that is about to be used until it rots and grows maggots! Do you still want to let this story continue to be so ridiculous?"
Zhou Qingmu was no longer silent this time and asked: "Will I die in Beiming?"
The young man in gray robe was a little confused, but he shook his head truthfully.
Zhou Qingmu smiled happily: "That's enough."
The young man in gray robe stared at him intently after hearing this. He really didn't understand why this guy was so persistent!
But at this moment, in this still time and space, a thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, striking towards the gray-robed boy, and an old and angry voice shouted in the void:
"The latecomers have gone too far!"
But at this moment, Zhou Qingmu, who was still standing there before, suddenly collapsed, fell under the tree, and fell into a deep sleep.
The young man in gray robe seemed to be filled with anger after receiving Zhou Qingmu's answer. He glanced at Zhou Qingmu who fell to the ground, and then at the thunder that was about to strike.
I saw him slightly raising one hand, and actually caught the overbearing thunder with his bare hands!
Immediately, the young man in gray robe exerted a little force on his hand, and the thunderbolt, which was as thick as a pillar and completely black, shattered into powder in an instant!
At this time, the world began to tremble instantly, and the space where the gray-robed boy stopped time seemed to be restored to its trajectory at any time.
The young man in gray robe just sneered and looked up at a certain void. After the void trembled, an old man holding a pipe walked out!
"Old man, this kind of showmanship is of no use to me!" The gray-robed boy snorted coldly, then raised his foot suddenly and stepped on the ground. The world instantly became as still and dead as before.
The old man just raised the pipe in his hand, took a puff, and exhaled thick smoke, "Later, no matter how strong your body is, you can't do anything to me under the rules here. Go back to your time and space!"
The young man in gray robe still had an indifferent look in his eyes, as if he didn't even bother paying attention to the old man in front of him.
But at a certain moment during the confrontation between the two, the void somewhere began to tremble again. The old man holding the pipe and the young man in gray robe looked towards that place almost at the same time.
I saw a woman in green clothes stepping lightly on the lotus slowly walking out. She didn't pay attention to the old and the young, but turned her gaze to the old tree below with gentle eyes.
After seeing the old man, the young man in gray robe was slightly surprised in his eyes, but he remained indifferent: "You are..."
Hearing this, the woman in green clothes smiled slightly and made a silent gesture.
The young man in gray robe nodded, said no more, and did not look at the old man blowing smoke. Instead, he turned his attention to the ancient book in his hand.
After seeing the woman in blue coming here, the old man said in a deep voice: "Did the girl let something out not long ago?"
"I want you to take care of it!" The woman in green glared at him.
The old man just picked up the cigarette rod and took a heavy puff. The thick smoke covered his face, making it difficult for people to see his expression. At the same time, he said loudly: "Please don't break the rules and leave as soon as possible."
I am a tiny place."
At this time, the gray-robed boy glanced at Zhou Qingmu and Zhou Qingmu who were lying on the ground. He put the ancient book back into his sleeves and turned to look at the woman in green. There was light flashing in his pupils as if he was conveying something to the woman.
Finally, the young man in gray robe said softly: "What I want to do has been done. Since the rightful owner is not willing, if I do more, it will really break the rules and it will be of no benefit to myself. I'm leaving.
,senior!"
The last word "senior" is very important.
After the gray-robed boy finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot, as if he had never been there.
Only the confused woman in green and the old man were left, but the woman couldn't last long in her current state, so after taking one last look at the man and saying "Don't touch him", she disappeared quietly.
The old man was the only one left in the world. He waved his sleeves and robe, and the still things in the world returned to their original state.
Finally, the old man came to Zhou Qingmu and gently pressed his eyebrows, shattering a deeply hidden gray light.
