The transformation was natural, silent and unexpected.
The moment the boat left the area of the island in the middle of the lake, Li Tianlan first heard the bustling sound of people.
Children, adults, the elderly.
The originally quiet surroundings suddenly seemed to be filled with countless people. Li Tianlan seemed to be among the crowd, listening to the laughter and laughter flowing around him.
He turned around in confusion.
Li Dongcheng beside him has disappeared, and the sword energy that is not domineering but ubiquitous is gone. He quietly looks in the direction of the island in the middle of the lake. The quiet island called Xiaoyingzhou has already disappeared.
Out of sight, he was now on the shore, the night turned into the sunset, and there were signs guiding tourists at the entrance.
The voices of people are getting closer.
Li Tianlan finally confirmed that he had returned to his own time and space from Li Dongcheng's time and space.
He heard a miserable story, witnessed a dynasty, saw his son, daughter-in-law, and niece, barely stabilized his injuries, and received gifts from his children.
In half a day, he left that fixed area, crossed the boundaries of time and space again, and came directly from the battlefield of Annan to Lin'an.
Li Tianlan was in a daze, as if everything he experienced was like a dream.
But the scroll he held tightly in his hand kept reminding him that what he experienced might be bizarre, but it was not an illusion.
The setting sun on the horizon sank at an incredible speed.
Before Li Tianlan came back to his senses, the sunset had all dissipated, night enveloped the creek and lake, and in an instant the sunrise came again.
The bustling voices appeared and disappeared quickly.
Time seemed to be sped up countless times.
Li Tianlan's eyes still had the brilliant light and shadow of the rising sun, and Xihu had once again welcomed the setting sun.
Night falls.
Lin'an ushered in a spring rain.
After the spring rain, the sun rises and sets again.
Li Tianlan watched the turn of day and night quietly. He instinctively wanted to take a step, but found that his body could not move at all.
He could only stand on the shore and watch all this in silence.
He saw the surging crowd passing by him quickly, and he could see the other person's expression, but no one noticed his presence, and no one could touch his body.
"Time and space are actually always changing."
A soft and familiar voice sounded beside Li Tianlan.
There was a hint of astonishment in Li Tianlan's eyes.
He had just heard this voice, but he never thought that he could still hear this voice after he had crossed the boundary of time and space and was about to return to his own time and space but had not yet completely returned.
This is Lin Qingya's voice.
"It's just that in most cases, time and space exist alone and run alone. They are always changing, but people in time and space will not feel their changes unless a long period of time passes.
I find myself growing taller, fatter, or getting older little by little, and this change cannot be felt in a short period of time.
But if two different time and spaces occasionally interact, there will be some imbalance in time and space. The main one is the conflict in time. At this point in time, people who have passed through the two time and spaces will also be in a time gap.
In conflict.
Father, you have only stayed with your husband for a few hours, but seven days have passed in this current time and space. The two time and space are temporarily superimposed on each other because of you. If you want to leave, you will naturally need to wait until the two time and space are combined in time.
To achieve a balance, and then each can leave after running alone."
Lin Qingya's voice still echoed, with a smile: "But you can rest assured that this time will not be long, and during this period, you will be safe."
Li Tianlan looked around.
All up, down, front and back...
There was no shadow of Lin Qingya in his field of vision, only Lin Qingya's voice kept ringing.
Li Tianlan was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Where are you?"
"So, father, you must pay attention to the time when you come next time. It is best to come when you are not busy. However, my husband is so lazy. He must have inherited it from you. You should not have too many things, right?
?”
Li Tianlan frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Yes, you can go back as soon as you leave here."
"Where to leave?"
Li Tianlan is getting more and more confused.
"Well, it is indeed a little inconvenient, but this is temporary. When you and your husband reach a certain height, there will be no such inconvenience."
Li Tianlan:......
Li Tianlan's face was confused by the inconsistent questions and answers.
He couldn't see Lin Qingya's shadow.
In front of him, there was only the ever-changing day and night.
"Are you still angry with your mother? They are very careful in front of you. Father, you are so majestic. If you are angry, my husband and I will be angry too."
What the hell?
Li Tianlan looked around carefully, and even released his sword energy to sense everything around him.
He was surrounded by the alternating day and night skylight of Lin'an Xihu, but as the sword energy spread, all he felt was nothingness.
This is the limit of time and space.
He has left that time and space, but has not officially entered his own time and space.
According to Lin Qingya, this is a temporary time conflict between two time and space.
But the question is where did this speaking voice come from?
Lin Qingya is obviously not here, and it seems that she is not talking to herself.
No, to be precise, Lin Qingya was talking to herself, but she was not talking to her current self.
Li Tianlan thought that he was well-informed after this time and space journey, but the current situation still left him a little confused.
"Father, look, my husband doesn't even have the heart to play chess."
Lin Qingya's voice continued to sound.
Play chess...
Play chess?!
Li Tianlan was shocked for a moment, as if he thought of something incredible. He slowly lowered his head and stared at the scroll in his hand.
He has never seen Li Dongcheng play chess.
No, he had seen it, but it was not the Li Dongcheng he had seen.
But inside the painting.
In the painting Lin Qingya gave him, Li Dongcheng and Dongcheng Wudi were playing chess.
so...
Li Tianlan took a deep breath and opened the scroll in his hand again.
The scene on the scroll is still that simple and elegant but incredibly large hall.
All the scenes seem to be unchanged, but there are changes everywhere.
Li Tianlan's pupils shrank slightly.
He remembered that when he just looked at this painting, Dong Chengyue was placing several side dishes in the restaurant.
But now a few side dishes have been placed on the dining table, and Dong Chengyue appears in the kitchen. She puts her arms around Qin Weibai's shoulders and is talking affectionately.
He remembered that Dongcheng Qiuchi and Zou Yuanshan in the painting had just entered the door, but now the couple had already walked to Dongcheng Wudi and Li Dongcheng.
Dongcheng Qiuchi stretched out his hand and was stroking Li Dongcheng's hair.
He remembered that he was sitting on the sofa, watching the virtual image in front of him, but now the virtual image disappeared completely, and Lin Qingya, who had clearly not appeared in the picture just now, was sitting in front of him in the painting, as if saying
What are you wearing?
so...
Li Tianlan's heart beat violently.
The voice he heard was not Lin Qingya beside him at all, but... Lin Qingya in the painting talking?
A painting can change on its own and even make sounds. Is it really still a painting?
The sword energy that was spreading outwards was completely retracted.
Wisps of sword energy fell on the scroll evenly.
Li Tianlan closed his eyes and concentrated deeply. His sword energy replaced his eyes, and all his perceptions were completely focused on the picture scroll in front of him.
If the scroll really changes, then at this moment, every subtle change cannot escape Li Tianlan's perception.
Time passed by every second.
Li Tianlan was calm.
He may have a bad temper, but he never lacks patience and concentration.
His sword spirit and pen sharpness are completely integrated.
Finally, Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows.
In his perception, the main and secondary pictures seemed to suddenly turn into countless lines.
Lines of various colors were interlaced in a messy and orderly manner on the scroll, constructing scenes in the scroll. Under his perception of sword energy, every line in the scroll was moving in an almost...
The speed that is difficult to detect changes little by little. The speed of those lines is extremely slow, but each line affects the entire picture, so every slight movement of each line will have subtle effects on the picture.
The change.
Li Tianlan realized something.
He originally thought that the family portrait given to him by Lin Qingya was just a commemoration, just like Li Dongcheng said, this was their intention.
Li Tianlan really liked this painting, so he accepted it without any courtesy.
But it wasn't until now that he realized that this was definitely not an ordinary souvenir. It had even gone beyond the scope of art and beyond Li Tianlan's current understanding.
Lin Qingya didn't know what means she used to give life to every person in the painting, so the painting came to life, as if each person in the painting had their own joys, sorrows, and joys.
Li Tianlan hesitated for a moment, then kept unrolling the scroll and exerted a little force.
The scroll did not move at all.
He gradually increased his strength.
Although he is seriously injured now, his strength lies here after all. Even if he is seriously injured, he can still exert his peak invincible power under normal conditions.
But what was beyond reasonable expectation was that even if he used the power of the peak invincible realm, he still could not move the painting.
Li Tianlan opened his eyes and took a deep breath. In an indescribable mood, he looked at the scene in the painting and fell completely silent.
While his mind was perceiving the complicated lines in the painting, with the subtle changes in the lines, the scene in the painting was completely subverted.
The hall in the painting is missing.
The restaurant, the kitchen, even Li Dongcheng around me...
All gone.
To be precise, this image has been blurred.
On the scroll, only he and Lin Qingya are still clear.
He and Lin Qingya sat face to face.
Lin Qingya's voice sounded clearly from the scroll this time.
She looked at Li Tianlan in the scroll.
The voice sounded like he was talking to Li Tianlan in real life, but also like he was talking to Li Tianlan in the painting.
"We won't talk about this anymore."
Lin Qingya smiled softly: "I said that I wanted to tell my father a story. Now is the right time, so I might as well tell it now."
Li Tianlan did not speak.
Li Tianlan in the scroll seemed to speak, but Li Tianlan didn't know what he said.
Then Lin Qingya's voice rang out.
She suppressed her smile and said in a quiet voice, "It's a woman's story."
