The journey back in history is beautiful but extremely long, and it is easy to get stuck in it. .
Traveling through the fragmented historical fragments is a great test for people's will. Whether it is the emperors and generals who exist in historical materials or the unknown traders and foot soldiers, when you experience their history in person
At that time, they were no longer just a group of pictures in historical memory, but became real existences of flesh and blood. They had their own joys and sorrows, and their own joys and sorrows. Whether it was a heroic epic or a mediocre life, they would all belong to them.
leaving indelible traces in time and space.
As a passer-by, Hao Ren did everything possible to put himself in the position of a bystander, maintaining a detached third-party perspective during this historical journey because he knew that only by maintaining this bystander's perspective, he could
Only in this way can we maintain ourselves and walk the entire ten thousand years of history without being swallowed up and assimilated by the endless historical illusions.
It is not easy to maintain this state. It is probably an impossible task for ordinary people, but Hao Ren has persisted by relying on the mentality he has developed as a "censor" in the past few years.
Jumping again and again, going back again and again, meeting Vivian in different periods of history again and again, and then saying goodbye in a hurry to embark on a new journey.
Not every historical journey back is worth describing in detail, and not every awakening of Vivian can go according to plan, but no matter what, Hao Ren and his friends still walked all the way. On the Siberian snowfields
The journey and the trip to France seemed to have happened a long time ago. After that, they traveled through the vast primeval jungle of the Amazon, crossed the endless desolate Taklimakan Desert, and even drifted for a whole day in the sea with nowhere to stay.
It took half a month until they found an ancient city on the seabed that had sunk for thousands of years, and found the ancient secret room containing Vivian's coffin in this city that was destroyed due to an explosion of magic.
They had dealt with the werewolf hermits in South America, and they had also fought against the demon hunters with the descendants of the silver wizards who could not escape from the world in the Mesopotamian plains. With the help of Hasselblad, Hao Ren even managed to sneak into the demon hunters.
Asia headquarters, Vivian's coffin was smuggled out from the depths of the Himalayas under the eyes of thousands of demon hunters.
Genghis Khan's cavalry, the palaces of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and the Aztec city-states, one after another, are famous in history. Things that have almost turned into symbols are floating in front of his eyes like a fleeting cloud. Hao Ren keeps looking back here.
During the trip, I seemed to experience the same feeling as Vivian: as time goes by, the world changes, and the whole world is constantly being transformed by its residents. Although the sun still rises every day, the setting sun always shines on the new world.
On this land, the world of humans and the world of "gods" have been shuffled and reorganized countless times in this continuous flow of history. Even the most glorious, greatest, and even the rulers themselves thought they would be immortal.
Dynasties often cannot last for several generations.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the eyes of bystanders who are historical passers-by.
"See you in the next era."
Vivian's figure has gradually disappeared in the air, and only her voice seems to still be in her ears.
After a while, Hao Ren exhaled, stood up and looked at the people standing around him.
Hessiana was bored and carving a piece of gray-white wood with a knife, seemingly trying to see if she could leave traces on this "substance" frozen in time and space. Hasselblad was carefully checking his demon hunter equipment to ensure that
These powerful weapons can be in the best condition at any time, while Lily is sitting not far away, concentrating on eating shrimp crackers and potato chips taken from Hao Ren's personal space.
The place they are currently in is a small small room with a wooden floor, wooden walls, and wooden ceiling. A slatted window covered with thick paper is embedded in the wall next to Lily. The window is opened.
Outside, all you can see is chaos. There is no decoration in the room. There is only a short square table in the center of the room. There are a few cushions around the square table. A man dressed as an ancient Chinese military commander is standing with a look of surprise on his face.
In the corner, his shocked expression had become covered with a layer of gray-white as time and space stagnated.
Hesiana put away the knife and said casually: "The fire in Chibi is really burning."
"No wonder Cao Cao lost so miserably." Lily, who was not far away, didn't even raise her head. "He actually set up camp on top of Vivian's underground palace. Let alone Zhuge Liang, I can win, okay?"
Hesiana scolded Lily: "Just brag, are you stupid with just one arm? Hundreds of thousands of people will stand still and let you kill you, and you will tire yourself to death..."
Hao Ren saw the little bat spirit quarreling with Lily just like Vivian, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face. Then he stood up and walked towards the wooden door of the cabin that was faintly revealing a ray of light.
"Let's go, the next stop is waiting for us."
The door opens, revealing a brand new time and space fragment.
Hao Ren squinted his eyes to adjust, and found that he was standing on a wide and straight avenue.
This is a wide trail paved with stone slabs. On both sides of the road are gray-white, neat tall houses mixed with stone and wood. The houses have a typical classical Greek style and are extremely exquisite. At the end of the street, you can see a huge,
Square with fountains and sculptures.
Bustling pedestrians come and go on the avenue. Most of the pedestrians wear white or gray "robes". Part of the fabric of the "robe" is half-circled around the body and draped on their shoulders to form mostly decorative drape folds. Women's clothing is
The shape is more complex, but the color is still mainly white. It is not difficult to judge from the clothing that these people live at least a level of food and clothing.
This seems to be a big city and the cleanliness of the city is even better than that of European cities in the fourteenth century.
Hao Ren looked back and found that he had come out of a wooden door inlaid on the base of a huge sculpture. This abrupt wooden door was obviously an abnormal existence caused by the dislocation of time and space. Such a weird way of appearing would inevitably arouse people's excitement.
Note that this is a bustling urban avenue, so soon a large number of pedestrians stopped around and curiously looked at these guys "coming out of the sculptures".
Hasselblad followed Hao Ren and walked out. He noticed that there were so many idle people around. The old hunter frowned and waved his hand to release a powerful spiritual power: "It seems that we have arrived at a very lively place."
The "dispersing idlers" spell most commonly used by demon hunters in covert operations was the most convenient thing for Hao Ren after Hasselblad joined the team. Under the influence of magical power, the passers-by who had been gathering around just a moment ago seemed to have forgotten about it.
One by one, they shook their heads in confusion and left.
Hesiana took a look at the surrounding architectural styles, then looked at the costumes of the passers-by, and quickly made an inference: "It should be in ancient Greece... this is... the city of Rome?"
As the little bat spirit spoke, a different look slowly appeared on her face. The ancient Greek-style buildings around her seemed to give her an unusual sense of familiarity: "Oh, this is really a scene we haven't seen for a long time.
"
Lily glanced at her in surprise: "Are you familiar with the city of Rome?"
"I first became a master in ancient Greece! Then I visited all the city-states around ancient Greece, and finally ended up in Rome!" Hesiana put her hands on her hips, "Wait a minute, let me think about it... I'm here
The first time I met Lady Vivian after I became a spirit here was probably in Rome!"
"You, a vampire covered in Western fantasy wind, have cultivated to perfection as soon as you open your mouth, and you don't feel awkward saying it," Hao Ren's first reaction was to complain, and then he quickly realized, "Wait a minute, you said you were in ancient times
Rome meets Vivian for the first time?”
"Yes," Hesiana scratched her hair, "but I can't remember what happened at that time very clearly. After all, I had just transformed from a little bat into a human form. My brain is not very good yet, and I have no idea what is happening around me.
I just vaguely remember some moments when Lady Vivian took me to seek life in ancient Rome after she found me. At that time, the city looked like what I saw in front of me...probably."
Lily couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Your memory is no longer reliable. You are as good as a big bat."
"Can you blame me?" Hesiana put her hands on her hips, "The night before when I went to bed, I was still a bat hanging upside down in the cave. When I opened my eyes the next day, I was walking upright. What can you do if I put it on you?
Do you understand what happened to you? It’s good that I still remember some local customs, which is much better than just remembering that you pulled a sled and ran wildly in the woods when you were a child!”
"I……"
"Okay, okay, you two can't be quiet," Hao Ren glared at the two of them, thinking to himself that the Husky finally didn't have to quarrel with Vivian. She even found Vivian's trumpet to continue.
Noisy, "It's important to do business. Hesiana, you said you followed Vivian around ancient Rome. When was that?"
Hesiana thought for a moment: "Caesar wasn't dead that year anyway."
"How many rounds have we gone back to?" Hao Ren blinked and looked at Hasselblad.
"There's no need to calculate. It's probably around the first year of the Christian era, within a hundred years." Hasselblad folded his arms, but his eyes were scanning all the details of the surrounding buildings and pedestrians. "According to the clothing style of the pedestrians, it should be the period of the Roman Republic."
, the empire has not yet been established, and the streets are in good order, then the probability that Caesar is still in power is very high, but we don’t know whether he has become a dictator.”
Hao Ren looked at Hesiana: "We may have reached a very delicate point in time. Where did you and Vivian live back then?!"
"...I'll go, it can't be such a coincidence..." Hesiana was a little confused, but she quickly realized it and showed a somewhat depressed look, "It's been more than two thousand years, how can I remember clearly?
.”
"Then look for it slowly," Hao Ren said with a relaxed and happy expression on his face, "I'm afraid we can directly find a Vivian who is still awake this time."
