Chapter 222: The World Inside the No. 9 Sarcophagus
"Third brother! Third brother, get up!"
"The sun is shining on your butt, why are you still sleeping?"
In a small mountain village filled with smoke, a seven or eight-year-old boy was seen pushing a sleeping teenager on the bed in a fenced courtyard house.
The sleeping boy was woken up. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he found that what came into his eyes was a little boy with a somewhat gray face.
"Who are you?"
The young boy who woke up stared at the gray-faced little boy in confusion, as if he didn't recognize him.
"Third brother! Don't you recognize me?"
"I'm Xiaoliu! Are you stupid if you take a nap?"
The little boy who called himself Xiaoliu stared at the boy suspiciously, obviously suspecting that he was asleep.
"little six?"
"ah!"
The young man who woke up muttered something secretly, but felt that he had no impression of the name.
Just as he was about to think deeply and try to recall it, he felt a stabbing pain in his mind.
The young man screamed and immediately retracted his mind, not daring to try to remember it again.
"Xiao Liu! I seem to have lost my memory. Can you tell me a little bit about my situation?"
After the young man was silent for a while, he turned to ask the little boy next to him who called himself Xiaoliu.
"Forehead......"
The little boy was stunned and speechless for a while. After giving the young man a suspicious look, he told him the general situation.
"Liu San?"
"My name is Liu San?"
The young man frowned and murmured a few words to himself. He felt that the name was a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere but could not remember it.
"Brother Liu San! Sister Yuling is holding a coming-of-age ceremony today. She is so beautifully dressed. If you look at it, you will definitely not be able to walk!"
"Many people from the village have already visited her house, so we should hurry up and join in the fun."
Xiao Liu, who was full of excitement, pulled the distracted Liu San and ran outside the house. The two of them rushed out of the fenced courtyard and walked around, and soon they came to a courtyard full of flowers.
There was already a group of people surrounding the courtyard at this moment. Some of them blocked the door and looked into the house, while others lay in the gaps between the windows and looked inside curiously.
"Damn! These guys are so shameless, blocking the door so early in the morning!"
After Xiaoliu couldn't squeeze in, he immediately started complaining.
"Xiao Liuzi! Who do you think is shameless?"
"This kid is definitely saying he deserves a beating when he accuses Sang and Huai!"
As soon as Xiaoliu mumbled, he was heard by several teenagers in front of him.
They were worried that they had nothing to attract Lucy Liu's attention in the room, but they didn't expect that a pillow came to them.
"What do you want to do?"
At the critical moment, Liu San stood up and stood in front of Xiao Liu to question the young men who were approaching with malicious intentions.
"what?"
"Today is the day that Yu Ling is to leave the cabinet. Liu San wants to join in the fun even though you look like this?"
"That's right! The most valuable thing about a person is self-knowledge!"
Several young men in the village who surrounded Liu San seemed to have some evil intentions. Although they sarcastically and insulted Liu San, they all regarded him as a strong enemy.
Liu San's appearance is not bad. Although he is an orphan, he has inherited his father's handsomeness. He has grown even more handsome than the boys in the same village.
The most important thing is that he has a good relationship with the sisters Lucy Liu. Now is the day when Lucy Liu comes of age. The rule set by the ancestors is that after a woman leaves the cabinet, she needs to find the person she likes within a month.
So not only a few teenagers regarded Liu San as a strong enemy, but others also gathered around and beat him up after hearing the noise in the courtyard.
"You guys stop it!"
"Who told you to beat the third brother! Stop it..."
Liu San was naturally not a rival for so many years. Amidst Xiao Liu's exclamations, he was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Not just him, even Xiao Liu, who was protected behind him, also received several kicks.
Of course, since they were all from the same village, those young men did not dare to strike with fatal blows, and the blows were measured and would only hurt the skin and flesh, but not the internal organs, meridians, etc.
Soon, Liu San and Xiao Liu were carried out by a group of teenagers.
Both of them were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, but the violent beatings by those teenagers knocked out Liu San's memories.
The memory was like a slide show, leaving him stunned for a long time without being able to recover.
The pieces of information left in the soul made Liu San completely wake up.
He is Zhou Fan, not Liu San. This time it seems that he was sucked in by Sarcophagus No. 9.
This made him instantly feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, and he looked around in confusion.
"Third brother! Are you okay?"
"They must be jealous of your handsome face!"
"Why don't we go back first! A good man doesn't suffer the consequences of the moment. There are so many of them that we can't defeat. Let's make an appointment with Sister Yuling and Yutong another day?"
Xiao Liu wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, helped up the distracted Zhou Fan, and reminded him in a low voice.
"good!"
Feeling that his cultivation was completely lost and that it was not his own body at all, Zhou Fan frowned and couldn't help but wonder if this was the same as Sarcophagus No. 3, in which he was currently in some kind of illusion.
"Crack!"
At this moment, a pebble suddenly hit and landed at Zhou Fan's feet.
He was a little surprised. He looked up and saw a small head peeking out from under a crooked-neck tree in the distance.
"Liu Yutong?"
Looking at that familiar little face, Zhou Fan couldn't help but frown and murmured suspiciously.
He remembered that when he was sucked into the No. 9 sarcophagus, Liu Yutong and Yu Linglong seemed to be sucked in together.
Although he didn't know why the two of them suddenly appeared, Zhou Fan now suspected that the two of them might be being chased by Sarcophagus No. 9.
He estimated that the two of them might have wanted to have someone to support them, so they came to him with Sarcophagus No. 9.
"Third brother! It's Jade Eyes!"
With sharp eyes, Xiaoliu also saw Liu Yutong with a small head peeking out from the big tree in the distance.
He pulled Zhou Fan towards the big tree in the distance with excitement on his face. When he came behind the big tree, the quirky Liu Yutong made a face at Zhou Fan, then raised his index finger and let out a hiss.
Immediately afterwards, she pulled Zhou Fan forward, bending down and walking cautiously through the village using the cover of some houses and fences.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the back hill outside the village.
There were no villagers in the back mountain at this moment, so the three of them ran straight into the forest.
The woods in the back mountain are extremely dense, and there are no wild animals here, so the three of them are not worried about encountering danger.
After Zhou Fan and the others ran for a while, they came to a cliff.
At this moment, I saw a beautiful girl in a red dress sitting on the edge of the cliff. The girl with eyes like autumn water was quietly looking into the sky and seemed to be in a daze.
"Go quickly!"
"Sister, I have something to tell you!"
Liu Yutong pulled Zhou Fan to a stop when they were more than ten meters away from the cliff, and motioned for Zhou Fan to step forward alone.
Xiao Liuzi seemed to want to have some eye candy, but was dragged away by Liu Yutong.
Zhou Fan couldn't help but smile a little when he saw Xiao Liuzi being dragged away reluctantly with a grimace on his face.
This place did not seem to be as dangerous as the dream world in Sarcophagus No. 3, but he was not sure if he stayed here for too long, whether his physical body in the outside world would lose its vitality and die, and completely turn into stone like Sarcophagus No. 3.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Fan walked towards the cliff.
He was not sure whether Liu Yutong and Yu Linglong still retained their memories, so he wanted to test to see if Yu Linglong still remembered the outside world.
"You're here!"
Yu Linglong, who was originally a little dazed, couldn't help but smile like a flower when she heard the footsteps and turned around to see Zhou Fan.
The charming smile eclipsed everything else, and Zhou Fan, who was caught off guard, was stunned for a moment.
"come on!"
Yu Linglong, who was sitting on the edge of the cliff, glanced at him and waved to him angrily.
After Zhou Fan came back to his senses, he reacted, smiled awkwardly and walked over.
This was the first time he really saw Yu Linglong's true face. He had always seen her pretending to be her cousin.
At this moment, Yu Linglong looks soft and gentle, her eyes are like autumn water, her hair is as smooth as clouds, and her slim figure is full of vitality.
"nice?"
Yu Linglong's cheeks were a little red with embarrassment when Zhou Fan stared at him, but soon she stood up and walked towards Zhou Fan and asked with a smile.
"nice!"
Zhou Fan, who was a little embarrassed, said something perfunctory, then walked to a flat stone on the edge of the cliff and sat down.
The small cliff at the foot is about a hundred meters high. It is really a pleasure to sit on the edge of the cliff and enjoy the scenery.
The wind blowing in the valley here is not strong, so as long as you pay attention, you don't have to worry about being swept into the valley by the strong wind.
"Today is my coming-of-age ceremony, and my dad told me to wear a special wedding dress, so I wore a red dress."
Yu Linglong held up the hem of her skirt and spun around beside Zhou Fan. The unique fragrance belonging to a girl spread into Zhou Fan's mouth and nose, making him intoxicated.
Before he could recover, Yu Linglong was already sitting next to him.
"The day of the coming-of-age ceremony is also the day when the girl from Liujia Village comes out of the palace. After the sky becomes completely dark, I will leave the village and go to the temple to pray for blessings."
"Can you go with me tonight?"
Yu Linglong's delicate voice sounded, and she was looking at Zhou Fan expectantly with her eyes like water waves blinking.
Zhou Fan was a little surprised when he heard this, and his heart skipped a beat when he heard about the temple.
"good!"
Originally, he did not intend to have too much involvement with Yu Linglong, but the other party mentioned the temple, which made Zhou Fan think twice.
He suspected that leaving this dream world might have something to do with the temple. After all, he had seen Liujia Village before when he walked through the village and found nothing unusual.
"You can't go back on your word after entering the temple! Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
Yu Linglong was obviously a little surprised by Zhou Fan's crisp answer. After asking again and getting a positive answer, her cheeks instantly turned extremely red.
Before Zhou Fan could react, she took Zhou Fan's arm and leaned her head on him.
"??"
Zhou Fan, who was caught off guard, had a look of surprise on his face, almost thinking that the other party was using a beauty trap on him.
He originally wanted to break free, but then he thought that he was Liu San now, and if he acted too much, he would inevitably be suspected.
Therefore, he did not act rashly, but instead used his soul power to slowly pour into Yu Linglong's body.
Soon, Zhou Fan took back his soul power.
He frowned and found that there was no energy fluctuation in Yu Linglong's body.
Although it is in a dream, the physical body should be real.
She looks exactly like an ordinary person, without any cultivation at all.
Of course, Zhou Fan's physical body at this moment is also without any cultivation, but he can use his soul power.
Not only does Yu Linglong have no cultivation at all, but her soul power is also extremely weak. She doesn't look like an intruding creature from the outside world, but more like she exists in the dream world.
