Dad looked at the scene in Fengdu City with some sadness. The lower areas here have been completely submerged by the water, and only some roofs of the higher areas are exposed.

The ancient buildings, mottled tiles, and deserted city all show its strong sense of time.

Xiaoyu looked at this scene with some boredom, gave one of his headphones to Luo Qing, and complained: "Sure enough, just as I thought, this is a boring journey, there is really nothing new at all."

Luo Qing paused, took the headphones handed over by Xiaoyu, and said teasingly: "So, you just tricked your only friend into being bored together?"

Xiaoyu's eyes wandered for a moment, and she retorted with some lack of confidence: "How is it possible? With you here, I won't be so bored. You see, I gave you half of the headphones."

A trademark gentle smile appeared on Luo Qing's face, and he said happily: "So I am so important in your heart? Well, I forgive you."

Xiaoyu glanced at him, hesitantly took out a piece of chewing gum and handed it to him, muttering: "Why do I feel that what you said is weird, forget it, here, here it is."

Luo Qing took the chewing gum with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Really? Don't you think there's anything wrong with it?"

Xiaoyu looked away and her eyes wandered again: "Okay, maybe I'm overthinking."

She changed the subject a little stiffly: "What do you think of this song?"

As she talked, Xiaoyu gradually became starry-eyed (*`*): "That's the song of my favorite star 'Raphael DiCaprio'. He is so handsome!"

Luo Qing was stunned and asked in an incomprehensible tone: "Who is that?"

Xiaoyu was also stunned and looked at Luo Qing in disbelief: "No, you don't know about Rafael DiCaprio? He is the greatest movie star in the world!"

A smile appeared on Luo Qing's face: "You know, I'm not interested in this kind of star, because among the people I've met, no one's actions can surpass Uncle Long. If he wanted to, he would definitely surpass all the movies. Celebrity."

"You're right, Uncle Long is indeed powerful, but..." Xiaoyu said mildly, then grabbed the headphones from Luo Qing's ears and put them on herself: "But Uncle Long is not a star yet. And Rafael is my idol!”

Luo Qing was a little helpless, ah, can't the idol just say a few words?Didn't he say anything wrong?

At this time, Chen Long came over chatting and laughing with the middle-aged man.

"Dad, let me introduce to you. This is Wang Fan, the current manager of Fengdu Ancient City. He expressed his willingness to rent us a cruise ship for 2000 yuan for a day and take us to take a good look at this abandoned ancient city. .”

Chen Long then introduced Wang Fan: "Mr. Wang, this is dad and his apprentice Tru, and these are my niece Xiaoyu and her friend Luo Qing."

Wang Fan still had a kind smile on his face, and the look he looked at his father was a little hot, but he hid it well, making it difficult to see.

He continued Chen Long's words and said hello: "Hello everyone, although Fengdu is currently closed to the public, you are still welcome to visit."

Dad was still feeling sad and waved his hand casually: "Chen Long, you can just arrange these things. Dad is not in the mood right now."

Chen Long nodded and said gently to Wang Fan: "Sorry to trouble you, please take us to the dock."

"Yes, this place was flooded because of the construction of the reservoir. If the water level does not rise again, it may become a water scenic spot, so we have practiced in advance. I hope Mr. Chen can talk about his thoughts afterwards. We will definitely Thank you very much, please come this way." Wang Fan said politely.

Try not to make dad and the others feel like they are owed any favors, but still look like they have a good impression.

Which high-ranking person in the world today has not thoroughly studied Master Chen?And that little girl over there looking at the scenery, Princess Blackhand!

Nowadays, the black market and the underworld are greatly integrated, and they have also brought out technology and magical power that are beyond the times. This family will have privileges no matter where they go. Who doesn't want to please such a family?

So the money has to be collected. After all, Master Chen doesn't like to owe favors, so other services are his chance to get them.

Chen Long walked next to Wang Fan and led a group of people forward.

Luo Qing pulled Xiaoyu's clothes and signaled to her father and the others when she looked over, and the two followed silently.

Luo Qing looked at Xiaoyu. She was still listening to the song, a little bored.

He thought for a while, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He stepped forward and took off one of his headphones, putting it on, and asked casually: "Is this still the song by Lafite?"

Xiaoyu glanced at him and did not snatch it back. She said somewhat dullly: "Yes, but his name is Rafael."

"It's not that bad," Luo Qing frowned and said in a serious tone, as if he was objectively evaluating.

Xiaoyu paused, looked at Luo Qing unhappily, and pulled off his earphones: "If you don't like it, don't listen. No one has to make you like it."

"Ahem, I mean do you want to listen to the live version?" Luo Qing asked gently before Xiaoyu put on the headphones.

Xiaoyu stopped in an instant, the unhappiness on his face was wiped away, and he looked at Luo Qing with bright eyes: "Do you have any way to get tickets for the meeting? He doesn't hold concerts, only at the meeting. Sing and perform.”

Luo Qing followed the footsteps of the people in front of him. At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by the boss. He said in a light tone: "He is just a star. I can let him perform alone."

The stars in Xiaoyu's eyes gradually dissipated, and she waved her hands in boredom: "Forget it, using capital to oppress is meaningless."

"Uh" Luo Qingba always had a broken expression and asked helplessly, "Isn't this good?"

"Forget it, I can distinguish between real love and virtual love. It's better to keep a distance from idols. Just like a beautiful fairy tale, it's just a fairy tale." Xiaoyu said with a sigh, full of disgust.

Xiaoyu concluded: "I don't want the perfect idol in my heart to grovel because of capital. That's not cool at all."

"Uh, okay." Luo Qing replied, and couldn't help but sigh, Xiaoyu, a star chaser, is quite sober.

While talking and laughing, the group of people quickly boarded a cruise ship under the leadership of Wang Fan. Dad still looked at the scenery in the city melancholy, and some underwater buildings were looming, which made him miss it extremely.

Xiaoyu and Luo Qing stood on the edge of the deck together, leaning on the railing with headphones each, looking at the scenery of the ancient city.

There is only one mountain here that has not been flooded. On the top of the mountain, the huge head statue of Emperor Fengdu exudes a faint pressure.

In Luo Qing's eyes, the strong light of faith was a bit dazzling, but for the big evil spirit, the influence of faith was already decreasing. With the horse charm on his neck, faith could basically be ignored.

"The last time dad came to his hometown was after the war. Thinking about it, it has been 40 years. I can't believe that this will be the last time dad sees it." Dad also walked to the edge and said a little lonely.

His mood today is really not that high. The vague beautiful memories of his childhood and the hope of rebuilding after the war. The contrast between the two scenes and the current dilapidation is too strong.

Coupled with the fact that this kid Luo Qing had surpassed his father without saying a word, and his actions with the devil became more and more frequent, all these made him feel more and more depressed. He always felt that he was rotten and had a sense of change.

"Will this ancient city be completely submerged?" Tru asked with a pale face as he looked at some vaguely exposed tile roofs.

He has always been seasick, but because he entered the apprenticeship level, it is not as severe as before, but he is still a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, the Chen family's hometown will disappear forever. That's why Dad has to come here and bring Chen Long and Xiaoyu with him." Dad touched Xiaoyu's head in despair. Immediately I saw her headphones.

Dad paused, then looked at the other earphone connected to Luo Qing, and instantly became unhappy.

He took off Xiaoyu's headphones and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaoyu, did you hear what dad said?"

Xiaoyu looked at her father in confusion, and subconsciously grabbed the earphone cord: "Hey, Dad, what are you doing?"

"You have to listen to daddy, daddy confiscated the headphones!" Dad tugged hard on the headphones, and also pulled off Luo Qing's headphones.

Luo Qing turned his head and was stunned when he saw the scene of the two people arguing. What's going on?

"They are all old stories. You have to return the earphones to me." Xiaoyu grabbed the earphone cord and resisted with all her strength: "If you want to hear stories, I can tell them to you. I have many interesting stories."

"This is where your ancestors lived, and this is your past history. You must understand it." Dad tugged on the earphones: "This is not a so-called story. What Dad said is what really happened."

"Dad, your thinking is out of date. No one likes to hear such clichés!" Xiaoyu continued to struggle.

"Whether you are behind the times or not, you have to understand this, otherwise others will say you have forgotten your ancestors. This is a very bad adjective!" Dad argued.

"Who would ask this? None of the friends I met asked this!" Xiaoyu said still unconvinced.

"Hey~ you are just a stubborn donkey. History is a part of the world, and it is still a very important part. Only with history can the world be rich and colorful." Dad pulled back hard.

"I'm not a stubborn person, this is called independent thinking!" Xiaoyu pushed hard, and there was a snap, and the earphone cord broke.

Xiaoyu fell back and was caught by Luo Qing. She looked at the broken thread in her hand and murmured in despair: "Oh~ It's broken. What should I listen to to survive the boring journey ahead?"

The breakage of the earphone cord made Dad take a few steps back. Chen Longyan quickly reached out his hand and barely supported his dad who was about to fall.

He heard Xiaoyu's murmur, and a smile appeared on his face: "Of course I'm listening to dad tell stories!"

Xiaoyu curled her lips and stood up, looking at the scenery very unhappily. History was the most annoying, but there was no supernatural.

"help me"

Just when he thought of this, a voice that seemed to come from another dimension came vaguely, and Xiaoyu was immediately stunned.

She looked left and right, then subconsciously looked at Luo Qing and asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Luo Qing, who was watching the farce, frowned. He didn't hear anything, but he could think of what it was. He turned his head and looked in one direction with sharp eyes.

Halfway up the mountain, a temple with a weak faith power stood there, with a vermilion roof and light yellow walls making up its entirety.

Time has left mottled traces on the wall, and the water damage in part of the building seems to have aggravated its aging, giving it an air of dilapidation.

Luo Qing thought for a moment and said in a deep tone: "If I remember correctly, this is the sealing place of the Mirror God."

"Mirror God?" Xiaoyu became interested: "Is it the same existence as Quetzalcoatl? Tell me quickly."

The old man also reacted at this time. After listening to Luo Qing's words, he also looked towards the mountainside, his eyes gradually became solemn: "It's an ancient temple on a famous mountain. Legend has it that this is where the ancient Mirror God was imprisoned. These demons can manipulate people. My own fears come true!”

"Wow~ cool, then why can they talk to me? It seems like that." Xiaoyu closed her eyes with interest and listened carefully to the sounds from another dimension.

"Help, help, help"

"Can someone please help us? We are starving to death! We need light!"

"Let us out quickly, we are really hungry."

"Is there any kind person who can come and save us? This place will be flooded soon, and we will drown."

"I can't swim." Xiaoyu imitated the weird voice, and the interest on her face softened slightly, revealing a trace of doubt: "Why do I feel like they are so pitiful?"

Dad looked at her and said seriously: "This is why dad said the importance of history. If you read history books well, you can quickly figure out the answer."

"Um, but I'm only 13 years old," Xiaoyu retorted in a low voice. Although she was aware of her own shortcomings, sometimes it wasn't entirely a question of right or wrong. There were many things that people struggled with, such as sudden childishness and so on.

"Age is never a reason to avoid mistakes, Xiaoyu. No matter how excellent people are, they will have their own shortcomings, but the reason why they can be called excellent by others is because they will reflect on their own shortcomings and try their best to make up for them. Use your shortcomings to prevent yourself from making the same mistakes." Chen Long said gently.

"Oh, okay, I know." Xiaoyu muttered, lowering her head.

Chen Long smiled happily, but he also turned around and asked his father with some doubts: "But dad, I know the origin and history of Fengdu, but I don't know about this so-called Mirror God."

"Because of the loss of history." Luo Qing answered. Seeing everyone looking at him, Luo Qing showed a familiar smile: "The Mirror Gods were born around 500 years ago, and they were sealed 2000 years ago. , from an era of chaos directly to the Dark Age of the Holy Lord, during the 1000 years when the Holy Lord ruled the human race, very little of the history of the human race was preserved."

"Supernatural books are in the hands of a few people, so Uncle Long you don't know about them." Luo Qing explained and asked: "And when did you, Uncle Long, believe in the existence of supernatural beings?"

Chen Long was startled and a little silent. When?Of course, it was after the Holy Lord appeared. Before the Holy Lord appeared, he would only treat the real history books as folk painting books.

"Yes, the origin of drama is in the former Shenya region, which is now Asia, and drama can transform evil spirits into gods and temporarily keep a village safe." The father nodded and said:

"But this kind of deification is very cruel, especially the Mirror God, who is known as the God of Fear. He needs to make the opera singers and the people feel real fear, so as to arouse the accumulated fear of evil spirits in the human race, so that he can be used in the opera. It has been sublimated.”

As the father spoke, he pushed up his reading glasses and looked at the ancient temple with a solemn look: "So, these four mirror gods do not deserve sympathy. They deserve the eternal seal."

Xiaoyu, Tru, Chen Long, and Wang Fan, who had just brought drinks from the cruise ship, were all stunned.

The first person to react was this middle-aged man who looked very kind. He immediately took two steps forward and said solemnly: "Master Chen, if you say so, isn't this place very dangerous?"

Dad turned to look at Wang Fan and looked at the various freshly squeezed juices in his hands.

The father sighed: "No, this is not dangerous. The existence of sealing them left a legacy, and the legacy ended 200 years ago. During these 800 years, they have maintained this seal very well. If there were no external forces, there wouldn’t be any problems here for a thousand years.”

Wang Fan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, that's great. Come on, Master Chen and all my friends, let's have something to drink. These are all freshly squeezed and very healthy."
