Chapter 369 Future Visitors
Zuo Chen slowly opened his eyes.

He has returned to the palace.

The entire palace was exactly the same as when he left.

Zuo Chen even saw a few monks running out in a hurry, probably to see their companions who fell down the stairs.

After slightly sensing the flow of time nearby, Zuo Chen realized that only a few breaths of time had passed.

This seemingly long journey into the future does not take up too much time in the present.

But Zuo Chen didn’t see Caiyi, who had a faint sense of sadness.

Didn’t succeed in bringing it here?

It seems that the long river of time cannot accept a person from the future going back to the past.

Just as I was about to calm myself down and touch the mirror in front of me again, I suddenly felt as if my legs were slightly pulled by something.

Lowering his head, Zuo Chen glanced at the corner of his legs.

I saw a little girl named Danzi who appeared out of nowhere.

This little girl was wearing a pretty and decent dress and was barefoot, looking exactly like the group of little kids surrounding Caiyi.

Only the look in his eyes seemed to have gone through the vicissitudes of life.

It seems like I have seen thousands of mountains and rivers, but in the end, all that is left is a heart full of vicissitudes of life.

This kind of calm aura placed on such a little girl created an extremely strong sense of contrast.

This little kid has to stand on a chair to match her current momentum.

Little Doll Caiyi jumped on the spot, then held the corner of Zuo Chen’s clothes very intimately, with no intention of letting go:
“Master, look, I’m here, aren’t I?”

“……yes.”

The little kid beside him seemed to be trying hard to stand on tiptoe to reach Zuo Chen’s shoulder, but ultimately failed.

She hung her head in frustration, and soon she suppressed her overflowing emotions and turned into a cool little girl again.

Zuo Chen chuckled and reached out to rub the little girl’s head. Xiao Caiyi immediately showed a very comfortable expression.

Even the cool and aloof look he had maintained just now was gone.

After rubbing his head twice, Zuo Chen suddenly felt that something was wrong with the breath circulating in this little kid’s body.

After a careful inspection, Zuo Chen’s expression suddenly became strange.

The inside of Xiao Caiyi’s body is like a huge, bottomless cavity. Although there is nothing inside the cavity now, one can feel that a huge amount of spiritual energy can be stored here.

Caiyi, who came from the distant future, not only brought back her own memories, but also brought back something else.

The long river of time left behind a trace of the “spiritual energy” of the illegal traveler, but it failed to take away this body that had been washed by the incense and the vast sea of ​​stars for two thousand years.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the man in colorful clothes is full of spiritual energy, Zuo Chen will have to admit defeat in terms of strength and ability to fly bricks.

Xiao Caiyi also clearly felt the circulation of Zuo Chen’s spiritual energy. A slightly surprised expression appeared on her face, and then she moved her fingers.

Soon, the spiritual energy from the surroundings gathered on Xiao Caiyi’s fingertips.

This spiritual energy slowly gathered in her body and flowed back into her dantian, which was as broad as the ocean.

“I didn’t expect that I could bring this body here. Unfortunately, the hole inside is too big. It will probably take a long time to fill it up…” Xiao Caiyi muttered, and then she shifted her attention to the huge rainbow in front of her that was changing like a mirror: “Master, is this the mirror of the future?”

“Of course.”

Zuo Chen nodded.

This trip to the future has deepened Zuo Chen’s understanding of the long river of time.

Moving things from the past or future to the present time is indeed a feasible behavior for powerful monks.

But, everything has a price.

Just like if Emperor Caiyi wants to come from the future, she cannot bring her own Taoism with her, and she must have a carrier in the past.

Otherwise, her physical body would not be able to descend.

As for the things Zuo Chen brought back from the future…

Zuo Chen casually took out a box lunch from his sleeve and threw it onto the bluestone bricks next to him.

After the fast food lunch box left Zuo Chen’s hand, it flew directly into the air.

However, it immediately became illusory. The rice flying in the air, the meat sandwiched in the rice, and the oil imprinted on the meat all turned into vague mist in an instant and disappeared before touching the floor.

Unless Zuo Chen takes these things, they will immediately return to the original timeline.

This is not because Zuo Chen’s cultivation is not enough, but because the things Zuo Chen brought are not of good quality.

The long river of time will return these extra items to their original places.

This is still different from the past body. The things that Zuo Chen fished out from the years can exist forever as long as the Tao is maintained, but the future body cannot.

Wonderful, wonderful.

Zuo Chen vaguely felt as if he had grasped something, but he couldn’t explain it clearly.

As for whether knowledge will be like this…

Zuo Chen needs to try this again.

Just as Zuo Chen was about to reach out his hand, Xiao Caiyi suddenly grabbed the corner of Zuo Chen’s clothes and held him tightly, as if she was afraid that Zuo Chen would suddenly throw her away.

Zuo Chen smiled helplessly, then stretched out his hand and placed it on the mirror in front of him.

……no response.

The expression became subtle.

Is this thing disposable?

A golden light flickered in his eyes, and he realized that the long river of time was also flickering with light.

This mottled river of time is filled with Zuo Chen’s shadow. Although these shadows are slowly dissipating, this long road has become a congested passage.

Because of this, Zuo Chen had no way to squeeze through for a while.
Zuo Chen finally realized that this thing was not disposable.

But there is cooling.

And it is cooled by a dedicated person.

…This dish is quite unique.

Carefully feeling this long river, Zuo Chen estimated that it would take about two to three days for this thing to recover.

Slight itching.

If possible, Zuo Chen really didn’t plan to stay here any longer.

This kind of behavior of going deep into the enemy’s base camp is inherently risky, and the longer you stay, the more danger there is.

Xiao Caiyi looked at Zuo Chen with some confusion, and Zuo Chen told Xiao Caiyi what he had just discovered.

“Is that so…” Xiao Caiyi obviously had no other options: “Let’s find a place to wait first.”

After a pause, he said again:

“This long river of time is filled with your shadow, Taoist priest. Will the old monk Sanjue discover it?”

“Probably.”

Zuo Chen pondered for a moment, then used his spiritual energy to circulate it on his palm.

A hidden house technique that he had used with all his strength gathered in the palm of his hand.

Pushing forward at the long river of time filled with shadows, a thin mist will flow directly upstream.

Like an eraser, it instantly wipes out this long river of time from the future.

Not only that, a large amount of fog also emerged above the long river of the past behind Zuo Chen, and a fake river appeared behind Zuo Chen, moving along the wave.

After doing this, Zuo Chen’s forehead was covered with sweat.

Hiding the entire timeline in a hidden house is not an easy task.

However, after this incident, even if the old monk Sanjue wanted to investigate, he could only find out his false “history” of studying the method to break the impasse in the Juetianduandi formation.

“Let’s leave here for the time being.” Zuo Chen pulled Xiao Caiyi slightly, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Peace returned to the hall. The monks who had gone out to watch their companions die tragically returned to the hall, looking worried.

Among them, an elderly man suddenly frowned and looked around.

He always had a slight sense of disharmony in his heart, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong.

Just walk up to the Mirror of the Future and put your hand on it.

There are no problems, no abnormalities.

It seems that I was worrying too much.

The old monk shook his head and went back to the hall to meditate, no longer thinking about these trivial matters.

……

Zuo Chen first returned to Yang Zile’s basement. The basement was empty, but for the aroma of roast chicken.

Yang Zile hasn’t come back yet.

Zuo Chen sensed the energy of the talisman and found that Yang Zile had just pasted a talisman and was still walking towards other places in the city.

After thinking about it, Zuo Chen directly took out a roast chicken, a roasted pig’s trotter, and a few roasted chicken wings from the River of Time, and placed them all on the table in the basement as a reward for Yang Zile.

Afterwards, he used this basement as his base and began to set up the art of hiding the house. After he had set up three levels of the art of hiding the house and one level of the art of breaking the sky and the earth, Zuo Chen activated his past body and planned to use this place as a base for teleportation for himself and Daliang.

Xiao Caiyi looked at Zuo Chen’s preparations and couldn’t help but exclaim:

“Master, you are well prepared.”

“It’s better to be on the safe side and be prepared.”

Zuo Chen said with a smile, but immediately he started staring at Xiao Caiyi.

“what happened?”

Xiao Caiyi tilted her head.

“I was thinking, if you really go back to see Caiyi, how should I introduce you to her?”

“Well.” Xiao Caiyi also thought about it for a while, and finally shook her head:
“I don’t think my original self would care about this matter.”

“Yeah……”

Zuo Chen wasn’t sure.

But he finally calmed down, put his left hand on Xiao Caiyi’s shoulder, and pinched the Dow Jones with his right hand.

The sound of the long river of time flowing sounded beside the ears of the two, as if they were strolling slowly along the river bank, watching the passage of time. When a drop of wave beside the river bank merged into the river again, Zuo Chen also appeared with Xiao Caiyi next to the small village where they had gone out to sea before.

After taking two breaths of fresh sea breeze, Zuo Chen turned his gaze towards the village.

He immediately saw that by the coast, the large colorful children were lining up their little ones in a row, counting the people from the beginning to the end with their fingers.

“Count!”

“one!”

“two……”

“six!”

“Hiss, something’s not right, one is missing.” Big Caiyi scratched his head, puzzled.

Zuo Chen felt a little embarrassed. He turned sideways and looked at the little girl Danzi beside him, while the latter was looking at the sky and whistling.

With a slight sigh, Zuo Chen finally took the future Caiyi to find the present Caiyi.
