"Alright!
My second question is, what's your name?
Why have I never seen your face in Yuan Kou's name list? "
Guhan asked his second question. Guhan was indeed a little curious about the identity of this Yuan Kou in front of him.
Since the other party's strength had already reached the Universe level of Yuan Kou, then when the other party was active on Earth and had not yet fallen into the Seamless Corridor, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself on Earth. However, Guhan had never seen the same record as this Yuan Kou in front of him. This made Guhan a little curious.
"What a stupid question!
Why would you waste your precious novel on such a question?
That's so stupid! "
The other party grinned at Guhan, then snatched a new novel out of Guhan's hand. Only then did he say with a smile, "But this old man likes you, Guhan, being rich and overbearing. You're pretty good. This old man's surname is Hong. As for my name, I've already forgotten it. Because Master took in seven disciples, this old man was ranked seventh, so everyone called this old man Hong Qi.
Later, when I grew older and had a group of disciples and grand-disciples, people no longer called this old man Hong Qi, but called me Hong Qigong! "
"Hong Qigong?" Guhan was stunned. He did not expect to meet Hong Qigong.
It had to be said that the Great Cultural Apocalypse had destroyed almost 99% of the world's culture, but there were always some things that were widely spread that had been left behind.
For example, some of the most widely spread martial arts novels before the Great Cultural Apocalypse had been passed down. Among them was a novel called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". It seemed that the Hong Qigong in front of him was the Hong Qigong from the world of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
It was no wonder that the other party's palm technique was so unfathomable. In the past, Hong Qigong's "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" was a martial art that Guhan was very envious of!
"So it's Old Gang Leader Hong!"
When Guhan was young, he had also watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", a classic novel that was remade for the 187th time. Therefore, he casually said the title of "Old Gang Leader Hong".
"Don't call me that!
My Beggar Sect is gone, how can there be any Old Master Hong? You can just call me Qigong! "
Hong Qigong said nonchalantly. He then extended his hand in front of Guhan and smiled cheekily. "Do you have any more novels?
Are there any more questions?
Ask them all! "
"Of course!"
Guhan voluntarily pulled out a novel and placed it in Hong Qigong's hands. "Dare I ask, Qigong, have you ever met a young miss named Artoria in the Seamless Corridor?"
"Artoria?"
Hong Qigong thought about it seriously for a while, then shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it … nor seen it … By the way, don't you have something called a photo? Show me a photo and I might be able to recall it!"
"You're right. I didn't think of that!"
Guhan nodded, then projected a photo from his personal terminal. Hong Qigong squinted at it, then stretched out his hand and said, "This is the fourth question!"
"Here!" Guhan had no choice but to hand the fourth novel to Hong Qigong. Didn't they say buy two get one free?
Hong Qigong put away the novel and immediately shook his head vigorously. "I've never seen her, never seen her!"
"…" Guhan wanted to hit someone.
"Alright!
Don't be angry, I'll give you a question! "
Hong Qigong was tactful. Seeing Guhan's unfriendly expression, and considering how much he wanted the novel in Guhan's hands, he pretended to be generous and said, "Actually, if you ask me if I've seen this little girl named Artoria, I can't really say. You might not have met the person you met now, but the next person you meet might have. After all, I've only been in the Seamless Corridor for two hundred years. If you can meet an old guy who's been here for seven or eight hundred years, then you might be able to find some clues."
"How many people like you are here?" Guhan thought for a while, then took out another novel and asked.
"I can't say for sure, but I've only seen about twenty people in the past two hundred years, including you.
But according to Liu Bang from 800 years ago, he's seen about sixty to seventy people.
That means there are at least seventy people trapped here! "
"Oh!
Oh right, Liu Bang from 700 years ago also asked me to pass you a message on his behalf. He said that the next time you meet him, bring the third volume of 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre' to him. He wants to read that book so much that he's going crazy. He used to weigh more than 180 pounds, but now he's only 150 pounds. He's really quite pitiful! "
"Liu Bang from 800 years ago?
Liu Bang from 700 years ago?
And he's asking me for the third volume of 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre'? "Guhan looked confused. He had no idea what Hong Qigong was talking about.
But this wasn't the first time he was confused. When Guhan first met Hong Qigong, he already felt that something was wrong.
"Very confused, right?
Doesn't it feel strange? "
Seeing the confused look on Gu Han's face, Hong Qigong suddenly laughed happily. "Come, come, come. This is a big question, the most important question in the Seamless Corridor. If you want to know the answer to this question, then you have to give this old man at least three … no … five novels. Otherwise, you can go and guess for yourself!"
"Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa!" Without another word, Guhan took out five novels and threw them on the corridor.
"Damn it, I knew you had a good collection. My god, how many novels do you have on you!"
Hong Qigong looked at the five novels in front of him and started drooling. He hugged all of them into his arms and kissed each of them hard. Then, he started to explain in satisfaction, "Actually, I said just now that this place changes time and space every hour."
"Please note that I said time and space, not space.
This means that not only does space change, time itself is also changing. "
Hong Qigong sighed and said, "Whether it's space or time, they're all cut into pieces. Every hour, they'll be randomly messed up. The next time you see this old man, it'll be this old man in a random point of time."
"This old man isn't lying to you. This old man has indeed seen you three times before. Three months after you entered the Seamless Corridor, one year after you entered, and two years after you entered.
The three times I saw you were in the 78th year, the 98th year, and the 142nd year since I entered this corridor. Do you understand what I'm saying now? "
"I understand!"
Guhan nodded with an ugly look on his face. Although Hong Qigong's words were a bit erratic and self-centered, given Guhan's intelligence, he naturally understood what Hong Qigong was saying.
The Seamless Corridor truly was an incomparably marvelous place. On Earth, time flowed in a linear fashion, second by second, forming a straight line.
Although there was a way to travel through spacetime and return to the past, that was only for a single individual. The flow of time in the entire world was irreversible.
But this Seamless Corridor was completely different. Time and space were no longer linear to the Seamless Corridor; they were piecemeal.
The Seamless Corridor was like a world of building blocks that were arranged in a straight line, and each building block represented an hour of time.
In a normal world, it would be very difficult for this straight line of building blocks to change.
An external force might be able to move a speck of dust from one building block to another, but it would not be able to move the entire building block to a certain position.
But the Seamless Corridor was different. Every hour, all of the building blocks that made up the Seamless Corridor would be completely disrupted by a pair of invisible hands, and then they would be pieced together into a completely new straight line.
In this way, a building block that belonged to year 3022 would be placed in the position that belonged to year 2022, while the building block of year 2022 would appear in the position of year 2587.
In short, all of time would be completely disrupted once, so the future Guhan might also encounter the past Hong Qigong. In terms of time, anything was possible!
"This question is indeed worth five novels!
Thank you for telling me so frankly, Qigong. Otherwise, I would have been lost in this world! "
Guhan thanked Hong Qigong. This was indeed a very important piece of information, and it gave Guhan a whole new understanding of time in the Seamless Corridor.
At the same time, it also gave Guhan an even more important piece of information. Since Hong Qigong said that he had encountered his future self, that meant that he had spent at least two years in this world of the Seamless Corridor.
When he heard this piece of information, Guhan's heart thumped. According to Guhan's original plan, he had hoped to solve Artoria's problem within a year, but he didn't expect that it would already be two years. To Guhan, this was undoubtedly a huge blow.
He didn't know what the human world would be like in two years. Could Lu Xihua really handle the task he had given her?
… …
"Qigong, I have another question!"
Just as Guhan was about to ask Hong Qigong for guidance, the world of the Seamless Corridor suddenly began to flicker.
This change was not too surprising to Guhan, because he could see such changes almost every hour.
But Hong Qigong's expression suddenly changed, and he said unwillingly, "Hey!
Spacetime is about to change again. It wasn't easy to meet a living person like you, but in the end, we have to separate again. This old man really wants to change a few more books! "
As soon as Hong Qigong finished speaking, he instantly disappeared in front of Guhan, and Guhan once again returned to being alone.
Helpless, Guhan could only continue walking forward, hoping that he would be able to meet other people left behind in the Seamless Corridor. In the end, he walked for another month.
And just as Guhan was feeling a little tired, a slender figure suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, causing Guhan to become extremely excited.
"That's Artoria's figure!
There's no mistaking it, that's Artoria's figure! "
Gu Han muttered in his heart in surprise. Then, he sprinted forward, chasing after the figure of Artoria in front of him.
After four years of waiting, Guhan had finally found that person!
