After passing the stone door, the further inside, the more I felt that this Queen of the Demon Kingdom was not just a rumor spread by ignorant people, but was indeed an incredible existence. www.

Along the way, there are countless mechanisms, ranging from those that were popular in the pre-Qin Dynasty to those that appeared in the late Ming Dynasty. It has become a public exhibition of mechanism techniques from all eras.

You can imagine how excited I must have been when I came to this place. With my obsession with mechanism art at that time, I am probably not so drunk that I couldn’t even miss Shu!

Haha, I still don’t know what it was like back then, but I only know that Fatty and I have an easy time walking together now. The institutions here have been completely destroyed by me more than ten years ago, and what is left has been changed beyond recognition.

In any case, it was my own handiwork after all, and it is not difficult to see it if you pay a little attention. So, without any danger, the fat man and I spent less than an hour reaching the depths of the underground palace.

The Queen of the Demon Kingdom, who has left traces for countless generations, is sleeping there.

Different from the complicatedly decorated palace above, the queen did not have any decorations in this place where she stayed the longest. In the huge room, there was only a huge green stone bed, and nothing else.

thing.

That stone bed was obviously not a mortal thing. In the depths of this extremely hot desert, it was still exuding a bit of cold air, as if it were made of ice.

However, at this moment, none of these could divert our attention. As soon as we entered the room, the eyes of Fatty and I were firmly attracted by the woman lying flat on the stone bed, and we were unable or unwilling to move at all.

If I use the word "beautiful" to describe her, it not only fails to express that unique temperament, but even makes me feel it is a kind of blasphemy.

I had never imagined that such an extraordinary woman existed in the world. The first time I saw her, all the turbidity in my body was cleared. It was as if we did not meet in the depths of a sultry desert, but in a place where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant.

, an encounter in a valley with beautiful scenery.

She was wrapped in a loose, shimmering white robe, and her delicate white hands were crossed in front of her chest. Her posture was natural, without any stiffness. If her chest didn't even rise and fall slightly, it would be like

It's like falling asleep.

The crystal light of the skin, the light on the white robe, and the white air of the bluestone all mix together to form a dreamy and hazy feeling, which is so perfect that it is intoxicating.

No, it's not perfect yet. His eyes slowly moved up to her forehead, and there was a faint white mark on it, like an unfolded watch strap.

For people who have worn watches for many years, if they take off their watches, there will be such marks on their wrists. Thinking about it, she may have worn an ornament on her forehead, but now, the ornament is no longer there, so she left

left this mark of regret.

What kind of accessories can match her appearance?

While I was imagining, a picture suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. It was still the same charming face, but the difference was that she wore chain-like ornaments made of black ring-shaped crystals on her forehead.

In the middle of the eyebrows, there is a translucent black gemstone.

At the same time, countless pictures were quickly reorganized in my mind like a puzzle, forming one continuous scene after another.

The memory of that year finally came back intact when I witnessed this beauty again after more than 10 years.

Just like watching a movie, the scenes from that year reappeared in front of me. I was like a spectator, standing in the void and watching.

Still in this room, a boy with a bit of childishness was holding a knife and filing his nails quietly. Next to him, the queen was still as she is now, lying motionless on the bluestone bed, but she had not lost her love yet.

Ornaments on the forehead.

A young girl was standing beside the bed, looking down at the sleeping queen as if admiring a piece of exquisite jewelry.

"Lin Ling, I have something to ask you." As if filing nails was an extremely important thing, the young man said without raising his head.

Who else in the world knows this boy better than me? His elbow was raised unnaturally a bit high, which was a sign of his wrist exerting force. The tip of the knife shone slightly under the reflection of the candlelight.

The girl seemed to have just noticed the boy's presence. She turned around and made a gesture of invitation.

"The game is over, can you tell me who you are?" The young man raised his head and said with a smile. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes, as if he was looking forward to a wonderful show.

"Why do you ask, I am Lin Ling!" The girl's mouth narrowed, as if she had suffered some huge grievance.

"Lin Ling? Haha, that's a good name, but it's a pity that not many people call it." The young man said with a joking face.

"Huh? I don't understand!"

"You don't need to understand, just listen to what I say." The boy was leisurely weighing the knife in his hand, staring into the girl's eyes and said, "According to the records of the Educated Youth Office, in the past two years, a female educated youth from Beijing who has been to northern Shaanxi to join the team is named Lin

There are only three people with the name Ling. One became a soldier, one returned to the capital, and one is still hiding in the valley! So, it’s a pity that there are not many people with this name.”

After a moment of silence, the girl suddenly smiled, and her aggrieved expression disappeared.

"Why did you think of checking me out?" the girl said with a smile, her youthfulness faded instantly, and her brows were filled with charm.

"Because in the ghost town, your performance was too fake." The boy's expression was a little regretful, as if he was not very satisfied with the girl's reaction.

"Um?"

"In the illusion, didn't you act like you were being raped by your own brother?"

"Any questions?"

"It's nothing, you behaved very well. But I don't quite understand. Do women always close their eyes when they are raped?"

"Oh!" A look of confusion flashed across the girl's face.

"Since you dare to take off your clothes in front of me, why don't you dare to open your eyes? Are you shy, or are you afraid that I will see flaws in your eyes?" The young man looked at the girl's eyes, thought for a while and then said, "That blood tablet

You kicked me on purpose, right? It was to take the opportunity for me to pity you and sympathize with you, so that you could use me to come here!"

The girl said in a faint tone: "No, I don't know that thing exists. It is true to win your sympathy."

"Want to know why I don't dare to open my eyes?"

"Because I was so happy at the time that I couldn't pretend to look sad." As she spoke, her eyes seemed to have transcended the distance between time and space and were looking somewhere in the void.

"Since you already know everything, why did you agree to accompany me to search for Shacheng?" The girl's eyes slowly retracted and focused on the boy again.

"I'm just hanging out with you, let's see what you want to do! And who are you?" the young man said nonchalantly.

"Did you know that a general of the Qin State cannot bring his family with him when he goes to war?" The girl suddenly reached out and took off the ornaments on the queen's forehead, and said in a nostalgic tone.

The young man frowned but did not stop.

"So, when General Meng Tian was ordered to die in Yangzhou County, his newly married wife didn't know about it yet. She still hoped that General Meng Tian would suddenly appear and embrace him."

"What are you talking about? I just want to know who you are!" the young man said impatiently.

The girl seemed to be immersed in another world and continued without pausing: "When the news came back to Xianyang, she felt like the sky was falling."

"The general is neither handsome nor gentle, and he is too busy to spend time with her, but the general is her whole world. Now her world has collapsed, and she doesn't want to live anymore."

"She dressed up beautifully and swallowed the poison without hesitation. She thought that at least she could die in the same way as the man she loved most."

"When the poison took effect, she lay quietly on the bed, wondering if there would be the warm embrace in her memory waiting for her in another world."

"The poison took effect very quickly. After a while, she could no longer move a finger. However, after a long time, she could still clearly hear the maid's exclamation, and she could clearly feel the pain of being lifted and released.

Entering a narrow space. Then... there is boundless oppression."

The girl's voice trembled uncontrollably, but she did not stop and continued to talk.

"For a long, long time, she has been 'awake' like this, like a person who never needs to sleep, opening her eyes in vain. The whole world is dark, with no wind, no flowers, no sound, and no sound.

Looking forward to the warm embrace."

"Just when she thought that days like this would go on endlessly, her eyes suddenly brightened up and a burst of fresh air came in. She was pleasantly surprised to find that she could move."

"It was a man named Liu Qu who dug up her grave and pried open her coffin. Soon she knew that this man was actually a prince - Liu Qu, King of Guangchuan. The prince of the Han Dynasty,

What about Da Qin? It turns out that it was not just her world that collapsed."

"Liu Qu is very kind to her. He doesn't have the airs of a prince and stays with her all day long. But she is still unhappy because she knows that what Liu Qu likes is just a person who has been resurrected from the dead, not her as a person.

itself."

"She still wants to return to that warm embrace, but she is afraid. Death is really a terrible thing. She has lived like that for hundreds of years."

"She didn't even dare to close her eyes or sleep, for fear that when she woke up, she would return to that narrow space and smell nothing but the dead breath."

"Fortunately, she no longer needs to sleep. It didn't take long for her to discover that she can skip meals and sleep, and she won't grow old."

"Everyone around her is dying of old age, but she is always 17 years old. Like a wandering soul, she wanders around, not daring to stay in one place for too long, for fear that people will discover the secret of her immortality."

"Time is like running water, one thousand years after another. She has met many people, some have noses like him; some have eyes like him; some have their backs missing him... But, they are not him

.”

"A long life is sometimes not a good thing. She is bored and depressed, and she cannot spend two thousand years to recall the two years in his arms."

"Until one day, she saw someone dig up a tomb openly, count the contents, and then take it away in a cart. These people, like Liu Qu, who of course saved her from trouble, could dig up a tomb without anyone under the sun.

She found it very interesting and tried to get in."

"This is just one of the countless things she has done in the past two thousand years. Unexpectedly, during an archaeological process, she accidentally saw him again. Only then did she understand that it took two thousand years to

It was astonishing how the emotions that had been brewing in the past exploded. She was so happy that she wished she could immediately throw herself into his arms and close to his ears to vent her tears and grievances that had accumulated for two thousand years."

"But she can't. What she faces is just a phantom."

"At this time, she suddenly remembered that Tana had mentioned that there was a sand city in the vast desert... The distant memory slowly revived, and she gradually remembered that in her time, the sand city already existed. But it

It has another more beautiful name: Dream City."

"There is a dream queen in the dream city. She collects the dreams of everyone she has ever seen, and then falls into a deep sleep. She spends hundreds of years experiencing each one. The queen has an ornament. Anyone who can wear it can live.

In the world of dreams.”

The girl slowly put the ornament on her head, looked at the boy and said:

"I just want to live in my dream, because he is in my dream!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black vortex appeared out of thin air behind the girl. The vortex grew larger and larger, and the girl's long hair suddenly rose high, as if being pulled by an invisible hand toward the boundless black behind her.

The girl seemed unaware and just looked at the boy with a smile and said softly: "Thank you, smart little boy. You are the only one who knows my story, but forget it!"

Following the girl's words, the black gem on her forehead suddenly flashed with brilliance...

The memory ends here. Lin Ling got the piece of jewelry, but did she get what she really wanted?

Why is she still wandering around the world, collecting other people's dreams?

How lonely it is to be alone, wandering for more than 2,000 years, with no one to talk to!

Lin Ling's story ends here. No matter how much I searched, I never heard anything about her again.
Chapter completed!
