Blind Date in Time and Space

After gaining the ability to withstand the cold and communicate from Ma Yien, Chen Jicai looked at them again.

After traveling to this world, he discovered that people with silver-white skin, such as Cassian and Ogar, were very tall. Not long after they ate food, their bodies became much stronger and their thin faces became more beautiful. When he looks up, he looks quite graceful and graceful.

However, Chen Ji really couldn't tell whether they were boys or girls. The 12-year-old "boy" had good features and looked like a male and female.

Including other villagers, it is difficult to directly tell whether they are male or female.

"Are you Cassian? I have finally come to your world. My name is Chen Ji. We have talked before."

Chen Ji looked at Cassian. He was the shortest among the villagers, but he was also as tall as Chen Ji. The others were all over two meters tall - according to the proportion of the earth.

"Lord Chen Ji!"

Cassian greeted him respectfully, but he didn't know any etiquette. He only learned it under the leadership of the village chief Ogar.

Chen Ji smiled, introduced Zhou Wan and Mu Xiaoxiao to them, and handed them the gifts in his hands.

Ogar and others were horrified after receiving so many gifts. They didn't know how to react and were so excited.

They had no idea what these gifts were, but given the poverty in the village, anything with color was extremely precious, let alone food included in the gifts.

"Take it."

Chen Ji said to them: "These things are nothing to the world I live in."

After a pause, Chen Ji looked around and said, "The earth where I am is rich in materials, much better than here."

He finally had time to take in his surroundings.

but.

There's really not much to see.

The world is shrouded in complete darkness, without any light.

The ground was deserted land, and everything within the range of the light was gray and black. There were no large rocks, no flowers, trees, birds, animals, fish or insects.

Neither the living nor the dead.

Coupled with the low temperature he felt when he traveled through time just now, Chen Ji suspected that the temperature here had dropped to minus 100 degrees.

All the gifts he brought have been frozen.

Zhou Wan was so familiar with this environment that she had some psychological shadow. Fortunately, Chen Ji was by her side and Mu Xiaoxiao was there, which was different from the previous doomsday time.

Mu Xiaoxiao was very quiet and did not take the initiative to speak. He kept paying attention to the surrounding environment and the silver-white people in front of him.

"Earth……"

Cassian couldn't help but ask: "Master Chen Ji, is the earth above?"

He pointed to the gray-black wall next to him.

"Is this the Babel Altar you are talking about?"

Chen Ji didn't answer him first. He walked to the altar, suddenly stopped and asked, "Can we touch the altar?"

"ah?"

Ogar and others were stunned by this question.

They have never thought about the question of why they cannot touch, and they have no concept of religion or the sacredness that cannot be touched.

It was Cassian who answered Chen Ji, "Of course, Master Chen Ji, you can touch it...but the altar keeps falling dust, and the door cannot be opened."

He described the condition of the altar.

"Is there still a door?"

Chen Ji is very interested in this altar, and Cassian can get in touch with him only when he comes near it, which is equivalent to Zhou Wan's original mobile phone, or Xia Shumin's collection of lovesickness poems.

Zhou Wan and Mu Xiaoxiao followed him, and Ma Yien followed quietly to the wall of the altar.

Cassian and others looked at them curiously and waited for Mr. Chen Ji's question.

Zhou Wan brought a kerosene lamp over, holding it in her hand now, the light illuminated a distance of more than ten meters.

In Chen Ji's field of vision, he could not tell that this gray-black wall was round. It was like a huge barrier extending upward. If he stretched out his hand to touch it, debris would fall from the wall.

"Why is it called an altar?"

Chen Ji turned his head and looked at them.

Village Chief Ogar took the initiative and said: "The Guardian told us... He once said that if there are enough red crystals, the door of the altar can be opened, leading to the highest point in the world, and seeing the greatest existence. "

"The greatest existence?!"

Chen Ji and three others asked at the same time.

Ma En looked at him, seemingly in a trance.

"We don't know what it is... We haven't seen red spar, only blue and white."

Ogar shook his head.

Zhou Wan looked at Chen Ji curiously: "Is he the god who created this world?"

Because there are gods in Astana's world, real gods, that's why she guessed like this.

"Hard to say."

Chen Ji asked Ogar again: "How much do you know about this Altar of Heaven?"

"Other than that, not much else is known... except that it is huge and beyond the confines of the village."

"How big is your village?"

"It takes about an hour to walk and you will reach the edge of the village."

"Edge? Have you never been outside?"

"No, the Lord Guardian said there is nothing outside the village, so we should stay inside the village... As for the edge of the village, there is also a wall like the altar."

After some inquiries, Chen Ji finally got a rough understanding of the situation in this world.

The village is very small.

The villagers never go out, and cannot go out at all. The edge is surrounded by a wall. The area where they live is like an upside-down bowl, and it is very small, not much larger than a small town.

The history of the village is only more than a hundred years.

The village is only so big.

No wonder Astana guessed that this was a place abandoned by gods.

Mu Xiaoxiao also guessed that this place was a restricted area of ​​life set up by a strong person. People inside were prohibited from leaving, and it was difficult for outsiders to enter.

It is equivalent to a secret realm in Xianxia novels, but this secret realm is too miserable.

"Lord Chen Ji!"

Cassian pointed to the sky and asked curiously: "Is the earth up there? The village chief told me that there are many towns up there!"

Ogar's face looked embarrassed.

Chen Ji said with a smile: "The earth is not up here, but in another world, completely different from here."

He didn't know how to explain the concept of "world" at the moment. The place where Cassian and others lived was only a small village, which was more isolated than the villagers in the mountains.

The only variable is the guardian, who may explain a lot of knowledge to the villagers.

Cassian nodded obediently.

Although he still had many questions, it was not the right time to ask them.

"Can I go to your village and have a look?"

Chen Ji asked, there was nothing interesting to see around him.

The most important thing in the village is probably the altar and the guardians in the altar!

"Of course, Master Chen Ji, go this way!"

Cassian said happily and made a gesture.

But to be honest, Chen Ji didn't know how they knew the way. The ground was covered with black sand. How could they identify by footprints?

The group of people walked to the village, and several villagers were very happy.

Although he is a villager, Chen Ji feels weird no matter how he looks at it.

Through the kerosene lamp in Zhou Wan's hand, we can see their tall, silver-white bodies walking on the black ground. It seems that they have eaten food. They are walking very fast, and their faces exposed to the extreme cold are not seen. What a strange expression.

This cold resistance alone is enough to show the strength of their bodies.

The empress hiding in the dagger has always been wary of them.

“Where is the riverbed where you mine?”

On the way, Chen Ji asked.

Cassian shook his head and said that he had never participated in mining. When he was born, there were very few crystal stones in the river bed, and not many people were needed to dig them.

"over there."

Ogar pointed in the direction and sighed: "The crystal stone can no longer be dug out. I suspect that Lord Guardian is because..."

He suddenly closed his mouth, and Cassian couldn't help but ask him: "Grandpa Village Chief, what's wrong with the Guardian?"

Ogar did not answer, and Cassian did not ask further questions.

Chen Ji, Mu Xiaoxiao, and Zhou Wan, three people from the normal world, looked at each other and probably guessed what the village chief wanted to say.

But the three of them didn't say anything.

"Mayan."

Chen Ji stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl who was following behind him without saying a word for a long time, asking her to follow closely.

The girl's eyes were confused and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Chen Ji held her little hand tightly.

After walking for a while, a bright light appeared in front of us, which was very eye-catching in the dark night.

"The village has arrived, ah, they are waiting for us at the entrance of the village!"

Cassian said happily, and took the initiative to run into the darkness. As he ran, he shouted: "Uncle and aunt, Mr. Chen Ji is here from the earth!!"

Good thing he could run in the dark without falling.

Chen Ji continued to walk forward, and soon saw a gray-white door, and villagers walked out one after another. After seeing Chen Ji and the others, their silver-white faces showed complex expressions of surprise, joy, and curiosity.

It proves that these villagers are not "monsters", but an intelligent race.

"Welcome Master Chen Ji, Master Zhou Wan, and Master Mu Xiaoxiao to our village!"

The village chief still took the lead, and more than a hundred villagers welcomed the arrival of Chen Ji and the others.

After welcoming the three of them, Ogar made a special introduction: "Her name is Maien, which is exactly the same as the 'Maien' taught to us by the Guardian. She also speaks our language...it's just that she grows up with us. It’s different.”

Everyone's eyes fell on the girl with white hair and red eyes, looking at her with curiosity and surprise.

Chen Ji couldn't help but ask: "What does 'Maien' mean in your language?!"

As before, no one could answer. They just followed the guardians and didn't know what Mayien represented.

The girl seemed a little disappointed.

Chen Ji shook her hand and said, "It's okay. Let's ask the guardian. He will always know!"

All the secrets are hidden in the altar.

…

Chen Ji followed them into the village. After everyone came in, the gray-white door behind him was pushed and closed by two villagers. With a bang, the heavy door was firmly closed.

Mu Xiaoxiao glanced back and whispered, "Be careful, this place is closed."

"Well, there is a closed world outside the village, and the village is also a fortress...it seems to be to resist enemies?"

Zhou Wan whispered.

Chen Ji also noticed.

This village is a grey-white circular fortress with a gate several meters thick, but just two villagers pushed it shut with such force that it was numbing.

"Master Chen Ji, is our village strange?"

Cassian asked curiously, "What is a fortress? Are the enemies the ones who deserve to be killed?"

"..."

He had spoken quietly enough, but Cassian still heard him.

"It's a little strange."

Chen Ji smiled at him, "But it's very cold outside, so it's normal for the village to be built like this."

Like an igloo on the northern ice sheet.

Cassian nodded sharply: "It's too cold outside, which keeps consuming our energy. It's much better to be back in the village, and the energy consumption is much less!"

"?"

Chen Ji was shocked again.

Could these villagers really be robots? Use your physical strength to resist the cold and accurately detect the remaining energy in your body?

The village is getting weirder and weirder.

After walking less than a hundred meters, Chen Ji came to a brightly lit place in the village. The only light source was a radiant holy white fortress.

The fortress is round in shape with a smooth surface, and is engraved with many patterns that are either decorative or practical, making it look holy and delicate, like something from the gods or a work of science fiction.

"...Mai En!"

Next to Chen Ji, the girl holding his hand shouted out in a daze, and the clear voice spread around, allowing everyone present to hear it.

Mayne.

After shouting this magical name from her mouth, the villagers all looked at her.

Chen Ji stood still for a long time, then pointed at the altar and asked her: "Is this Ma Yi En? Or is the guardian inside it Ma Yi En?"

The girl shook her head, took his hand and walked forward, reaching the door of the silver-white altar.

These two doors are engraved with patterns, patterns, and characters. They have a sense of history and civilization, and they seem to be ancient and long-lasting myths.

The most important thing about the pattern is a man carved in the center. He looks handsome, and it is also impossible to distinguish between male and female. There is a text next to him.

"What does it say?"

Chen Ji asked.

Ogar hesitated, "I can recognize some...but not all."

The guardian taught them writing, but they rarely used it or read it. They even lost many writing memories due to hibernation.

Chen Ji looked at the others, and the villagers shook their heads, saying that they didn't know either.

Only Ma En read out softly:

"In the first and last place, we leave our blessings and sing our epic - May En will last forever... May, Yi, En."

She whispered.

The last part of Ma Yi En was added by her, it was her memory of this passage.

"What does the first and the last place mean?"

Zhou Wan couldn't help but ask.

The girl looked at her blankly, her slender body shook a few times, took half a step back, and almost fell to the ground.

Chen Ji was so frightened that he quickly supported her, but the girl looked at the door again and shouted: "Ma Yien... Ma Yien..."

The voice trembled.

Afraid, as if I saw something I shouldn't have seen.

"Mayan?"

The villagers looked at each other.

They don't know what Ma Yien represents, but every time they read it, they will gain inner peace.

But why does this strange earthling named Mayien value "Maien" so much?

"The answer is inside!"

Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it anymore. She stepped forward, stretched out her hand and patted the door of the altar.

The door didn't move at all.

The guardian inside the altar showed no reaction to the movement outside the door.
