author's inner world

In front of the three of them was a relatively quiet secret place, with blue sky and white clouds, a small thatched house in front of them, an old tree outside the house, and a clear spring next to it. When they got closer, Han Yun saw the thatched house There was a white puppy lying in front of the door. It seemed to be sleeping soundly. It didn't notice Han Yun and others' arrival. On the other side, there was an old man who was sweeping the ground with a broom.

Seeing the old man, Han Yun stepped forward politely and asked, "Hello, old man!"

The movement of the old man's hands stopped, and he looked up at Han Yun. Han Yun saw a lot of twilight and death in his cloudy eyes. What was unexpected was that the old face smiled and said: "You are here."

Seeing that he seemed to know him, Han Yun cautiously asked, "Old man, do you...know me?"

The old man's eyes were a little slack, he just shook his head and said: "I can see your performance... very good!" As he spoke, the old body moved slowly, and the somewhat hunched body walked towards the house with its hands behind its back, slowly Slowly said: "The heart of the mainland is inside, come in."

Han Yun looked at his back and followed him in. Dian Wei and Xuefeng wanted to follow, but suddenly the puppy beside him barked: "Wow!" Although the puppy still had its eyes closed, it seemed that this A few people are not worth it to open their eyes.

The old man paused and shouted softly: "Listen, don't bark!"

The puppy's ears fluttered for a moment, and it stopped barking. Han Yun stretched out his hand to stop Dian and Wei's thoughts of following up, and shook his head, but his solemn eyes looked at the puppy who was feigning sleep, and his heart had already There was a huge wave: "This is... Listen!?"

The old man walked into the thatched hut, and after Han Yun also walked in, he turned around and closed the door. As soon as he entered the hut, he saw a talisman inside the room, which was in the shape of five corners, and in the middle was a guard An incomparably dim mass of energy.

Seeing this mass of energy, a sense of enlightenment surged into his heart, and he murmured: "This is... the heart of the mainland?"

When the old man's muddy eyes saw that mass of energy, it was rare to see a little clarity, as if he was looking at his own child, full of kindness... Compassion!

After hearing Han Yun's words, he nodded, but kept his eyes on the energy, and said in a low voice: "Yes, you also saw that the heart of the continent has no energy, even if you can get it, you can't Unleash the strength of the original master of the continent."

After saying this, he turned to look at Han Yun, his eyes began to shine, and he said seriously: "Even you will be chased and killed by the lords of other continents, and you have to take care of the burden of the entire continent." The responsibility of beings, so, are you still willing to accept it?"

In an instant, he seemed to be no longer a twilight old man, and his aura bloomed!

"It seems...he has been brilliant too!" Feeling this momentum, Han Yun thought to himself, but he still said resolutely: "I am willing!"

"Huh!" For a moment, the old man seemed to let go of a heavy burden in his heart, stooped his waist again, and said lightly: "Then put your pass certificate on the formation talisman."

He nodded, his face became serious, and with a wave of his hand, five things flew out, flying to the five corners of the talisman one by one.

"The essence of water, the spirit egg of wood, the essence of fire, the soul disk of earth, the halo of gold, go!" With a thought, the five things fell one by one, and in an instant, the talisman began to emit brilliance, and immediately, it was filled with The whole thatched cottage.

Visible to the naked eye, five energy chains flew out from the five corners of the talisman and connected to the energy cluster in the middle. After a while, the light cluster flew up and flew to Han Yun, emitting a faint fluorescence. At the same time, a faint The idea emanating from the light cluster seems to be conveyed to my mind.

"Who are you?"

Hearing this voice, Han Yun was startled, because the voice was so immature, like a child talking. Realizing that this faint thought was emanating from the light in front of him, Han Yun subconsciously released it. My thoughts are conveyed to the light cluster: "Hello."

After receiving his thoughts, the light ball dimmed a little as if he was frightened. The old man beside him was startled and exclaimed: "What are you doing?" After hearing the old man's voice, the light ball quickly flew over. There was something affectionate surrounding him, making it seem a lot more lively. The old man looked at it with doting eyes, stretched out his old palm and stroked it gently.

The light group felt the temperature from the old big hand and arched towards the palm. After a while, the old man reluctantly let go of the light group, put it in front of Han Yun, and said, "This is The heart of the continent is here, as long as you can gain its approval and become its master, you will be the new master of the continent!"

Before Han Yun could speak in the future, the light group suddenly began to struggle violently, until the old man touched it helplessly, and said softly: "Okay, I'm old and can't be with you anymore, you need a new master, otherwise you Once it dissipates, all creatures on the entire continent will suffer catastrophe."

After hearing the old man's words, the light group calmed down. The old man stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes. There seemed to be a flash of light, and he said softly: "Young man, maybe you guessed it, I am the first Lord of the Continent. !"

For a moment, Han Yun suddenly realized, and sighed: "No wonder, but..."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the old man chuckled and said, "You want to say that I should have died long ago, right? In fact, I should have died long ago, but it still consumed its own energy to force me to Keep it alive, otherwise it wouldn't be so weak." Then, he suddenly coughed twice violently: "Cough! Cough!"

Seeing this, Han Yun was about to say something when he was interrupted by the old man: "In order not to let it waste my energy in vain, I personally sealed it up so that the next successor can come and inherit it. The position of the Lord of the Continent also allows it to have a home."

Seeing that the old man seemed to have opened up the conversation box, Han Yun was not in a hurry to let Daluxin recognize the master, but said curiously: "Then I don't know if it is convenient for the senior to tell the story between you and Daluxin?"

Hearing this, the old man looked at him approvingly, pondered for a while, and seemed to be organizing his words, and said slowly: "This continent is called Origin Continent, I don't know how many years ago it was, I was still young at that time, My chest was full of ambitions, and I wanted to travel around the mainland, until one day, I was hunted down by my enemies, until I escaped to a desperate situation. Although there are countless dangers along the way, I can always survive the desperate situation, and that desperate situation seems to lead to the depths of the continent, until finally, I encountered it!"

The light group felt that the old man was looking at him, and flew over quickly, flying back and forth around him, as if very happy, the old man just stroked it with a smile, and fell into the memory again: "Maybe this is the place in the dark." At that time, it was just a mass of chaotic energy body, just born with its own weak consciousness. I happened to meet it at that time. Although I have overcome countless difficulties along the way, I was still seriously injured. , the dying person came in front of it and passed out."

The light ball seemed to have fallen into some kind of memory with the old man, and it no longer flew, but lay quietly in the old man's arms.

"When I woke up again, for some reason, it was already in my body. At that time, I suddenly discovered that my injury had completely healed, and I also mastered a terrifying energy, and this This kind of energy, that is, let me become the master of the continent, and then I will walk out of the secret realm, kill all directions along the way, use the abilities brought to me by the heart of the continent to create various miracles, and then become the most powerful person in the entire continent. one!"

"After completely controlling the heart of the continent, I led people to conquer the surrounding continents. In a short time, the reputation of the continent of origin spread throughout the surrounding continents, and I hardly encountered any opponents as the master of the continent of the same generation. In just a few decades, I brought the Origin Continent to its peak!" Having said that, his figure suddenly grew taller, as if the former glory was right in front of his eyes.

"Until... my final day, during that period of time, I had already entered old age, and my strength began to decline. Gradually, ambitious people began to attack me." The old man suddenly burst into murderous aura. , He said bitterly: "In that battle, someone gathered people from several nearby continents to besiege me, and my own strength began to retreat, and I was lost for a while. My wife, children, and friends all died in that battle !"

"But I hate it, I'm unwilling! But I hate my own incompetence even more. In the face of these people's ambitions, I will never let them get the heart of the mainland, so I came here." He said. Looking here, he said: "I have opened up these worlds with my last energy, and brought over an azure dragon python that I captured in the early years, and kept it here as a checkpoint. The big tree of the spirit, and one head of listening, and set up so many checkpoints, in the long years, that tree and listening to the truth have grown into strong people who can stand on their own. There is a further guarantee, which is why, whenever someone breaks in, they will return in the two passes. Therefore, you can come here, which means that whether it is your heart or wisdom, you have passed the tree and the truth. That level, so I welcome your arrival."

The old man looked at Han Yun with tenderness and approval.
