Chapter 552 Fox in the Mirror

"Crackling..."

Before going up the mountain, I could vaguely hear the crisp sound of firecrackers above.

According to local customs, today is the day to worship ancestors.

Of course, as mentioned before, traditional customs often need to be adapted to current life.

When Nangong Bei and his companions were preparing to go up the mountain, they saw Aunt Liu carrying the garbage from yesterday's sacrificial ceremony down the mountain.

Looking at the group of people who were obviously unfamiliar, Aunt Liu undoubtedly took a few more glances at them.

But in the end I still didn't remember it, I just felt that it didn't look that unfamiliar.

After politely saying "Happy New Year", he drove away leisurely in the garbage truck...

Unknowingly, it has been a year...

Nangong Bei straightened his clothes.

Afterwards, he looked at the two little ones behind him before leading a few people up the mountain.

It rained a little again today.

Orange City is located in the south, so the temperature did not drop below zero.

However, this air filled with moist water vapor was blowing along with the biting mountain wind, which inevitably added a bit of annoying chill.

But days like this, moods like this, can never be stopped by this little chill.

Perhaps it was a slight illusion brought about by the reverence in my heart, or perhaps it was a deviation caused by the mist lingering in the mountains.

Nangong Bei felt that the mountain under his feet seemed to be much higher than he remembered.

Perhaps, there is no need for any vague feelings.

Even if it really becomes higher, and becomes a grand concept like Mount Dongyue.

Nangong Bei didn’t think the situation was outrageous.

He did not waste these days.

Among those books that were once thought to be only a niche collection, Nangong Bei had some new understandings of their mountain king...

He took some more risks and went to those places he had previously vowed not to return to.

He did not encounter any danger for which he had been fully prepared, nor did he make any other special discoveries.

There is only an empty space...

The statues are covered in dust and their nests are deserted.

Clay statues sit peacefully in the temples, and no demons appear in the mountains.

It seemed as if in another realm, not decades had passed, but hundreds of years.

Standing on the snow-covered mountain, Nangong Bei suddenly felt a little dazed.

Perhaps, this is the fate that the torrent of the times will eventually lead to...

It was just like what had happened on this land at countless random moments in the past thousands of years - in the face of the predetermined destiny, the creatures on this land have always been unruly...

An indescribable complex emotion was intertwined in Nangong Bei's heart.

Melancholy, excitement, confusion?
Nangong Bei was speechless.

He suddenly let out a long breath and stood still. Looking back, he saw two people who were chewing something under the cover of the sound of firecrackers...

If it weren't for the wrong place, it would look like a bored younger generation following their elders to visit relatives.

Nangong Bei: ...

The word "what a disgrace" was stuck in my throat.

Forget it...

He waved his hand.

At least it was passed on...

Nangong Bei comforted himself in this way.

Inside the mobile home

Steam is rising from the hot pot.

The thickly cut pieces of meat were now cooked soft and glutinous.

Jiang Guo recognized the source of the white fish meat.

As for other meats?
He estimated that it was probably not much different.

Jiang State is fully prepared for this.

As the only existence on Earth or in the multiverse that is currently related to Yi Dong's concept of divinity, returning here is no less than returning home for him...

gap?

Respect?

He is the tiger's most loyal minion!
Of course, it is not a good idea to disturb them on weekdays.

Opportunities like this are rare nowadays.

In short, my equally loyal stomach, let me see your limits!
"Shanjun, I went there again a few days ago."

While eating, Nangong Bei, who had just been discussing the fasting and prayer activities in Dongyue in the second half of the year, suddenly looked at Yi Dong and said this without any context.

Upon hearing this, Yi Dong glanced at Nangong Bei.

For Yi Dong at this moment, most of the information in the material world of Earth cannot escape his attention.

Of course, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't pay special attention to it.

After all, Yi Dong can only handle such complex information in the divine kingdom.

In short - you need a linked server...

Offline processing is definitely not enough.

After leaving the material world of the earth, Yi Dong could only focus on some key information.

And at this moment, as Yi Dong's consciousness fluctuated.

The next moment, he saw what happened in Nangong Bei's past...

The towering snow-capped mountains are constantly changing with the passage of time.

He saw the crowds of people like ants, instantly fading the green of the mountains.

He saw white sparrows dancing, and in a moment only the dry nest on the treetop remained.

A fox chirps in the forest, and finally returns to its home at dusk...

Time leaves a clear mark on everything.

This is why reversing the past is so difficult.

Even those lives that travel through time cannot pry open the past of a spore that is on the time axis of the multiverse...

Of course, it is said that there are also many crazy challengers who have performed feats that shocked the world.

Under the curtain, a pair of calm eyes watched all this silently...

…………

The next moment, Yi Dong looked at Nangong Bei.

He knew what the other party wanted to ask.

Speaking of which, Nangong Bei had told him about this before.

He had never thought that this was the case...

Countless spiritual flashes intertwined in the fierce storm, and Yi Dong gave his answer:
"Master Nangong, do you know cosplay?"

Nangong Bei nodded with a little doubt.

Unlike what many people imagine, practitioners are immersed in the old barriers woven by the past and fantasy.

These individuals who pursue extraordinary and outstanding qualities often have more vivid and lasting vitality in their thoughts and insights.

However, Nangong Bei didn’t quite understand why Yi Dong suddenly mentioned this.

Seeing this, Yi Dong smiled:
"People dress in red and colorful clothes and think they are aliens, but aliens dress like ordinary people."

"You see, that's how things are in this world."

"If you're interested, you can go to the exhibition and take a look - who knows, there might be someone familiar among the crowd of 'monsters'?"

at the same time
"Ah..."

Seeing his girlfriend suddenly sneeze, Xiao Xu quickly took off his clothes and put them on her.

"It's too cold. Let's stop playing and go back first."

The girlfriend nodded obediently.

At the exit, under the winter sun, there was a painting of a nine-tailed fox from Ionia, casting her famous charm on the crowd.

In the mirror next to it, a young couple is clearly shown.

The girlfriend stopped and looked at the mirror for a long time, then smiled:

"Look, I am a human being now..."
