Familiar handwriting comes into view.

The handwriting is not pretty, but I remember it very carefully.

"I was beaten by the master for the eighth time today."

"But I didn't give up."

"The master said that I used Aura incorrectly and asked me to practice from scratch."

"I was not convinced, so I was beaten again."

"The master also asked me if this was the only way I could do it, and I was so angry that my teeth itched."

"Master's Fighting type technique is too powerful. I doubt he is human at all."

Lu Chen saw this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Keep turning back.

"Today the master taught me Aura Sphere."

"He said I have good talent but am too impatient and asked me to calm down and feel the flow of Aura."

"I practiced all day and finally succeeded in condensing the first Aura Sphere."

"The master took one look and said it was okay, but I saw the corners of his mouth turned up."

"Hehe."

Lu Chen turned over and over, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

The contents in the diary are all the past events of that year.

Training, fighting, being beaten, and growing up. The young man recorded every day with his poor writing.

Naturally, it also includes many methods of practicing Aura.

Lu Chen flipped through the diary page by page, and at this time Lu Chen seemed to have returned to that happy time.

But keep turning to the last page.

There is nothing in the diary about what happened after Lu Chen disappeared.

There is only one sentence on that page.

"Master, where have you been?"

Lu Chen's finger stopped on the paper.

The ink on that sentence is darker than the previous one, as if it was written more than once.

The paper surface is wrinkled, as if it has been soaked in water and then dried.

Lu Chen's expression darkened.

"Roar!"

It seems that he sensed Lu Chen's emotions.

Aerodactyl came out of Poké Ball and stood next to Lu Chen.

It saw the words on the diary, and a complex emotion flashed through its blood-red eyes.

It lowered its head and let out a low whimper from its throat.

Lu Chen reached out and stroked Aerodactyl's wings, and his fingers slowly slid over the black rocks.

"Tell me, why did we suddenly travel through time in the first place?"

Aerodactyl growled.

There was remorse in that voice.

Because Aerodactyl's duty in the team is to be on guard.

In the super ancient times, every time we set up camp and every time we took a rest, it was always around.

No disturbance can escape its eyes.

But even it didn't know what happened that day.

No warning, no sign.

Lu Chen and them suddenly traveled from the super ancient times to the forest of Kanto Region.

The old patriarch watched quietly from the side without speaking.

After a long time, Lu Chen closed the notebook and raised his head.

"Do you know anything about the super ancient times?"

The old patriarch shook his head.

"I don't know." His voice was calm.

"That happened tens of thousands of years ago. Even ancient books have long since turned into loess."

"This book is just a copy passed down from generation to generation."

"How do we descendants know what happened at that time?"

Lu Chen was silent for a few seconds.

"Then how did First Aura Guardian die?"

The expression of the old patriarch changed.

He hesitated for a moment, as if he was debating whether he should say it or not.

Finally he spoke, his voice a little lower than before.

"This incident... has been recorded."

The old patriarch paused.

"Master First Aura Guardian, he was probably killed in the battle."

Lu Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"We Aura Clan have been staying here for generations." the old patriarch continued.

"It's because there is the tomb of Master First Aura Guardian here."

"Click!"

The moment I heard the news!

Lu Chen's aura has changed.

A terrifying murderous aura surged out of his body, like an ancient beast that had been awakened.

The murderous aura was so thick that it almost turned into substance, causing the temperature of the entire stone house to plummet.

The old patriarch's expression changed, his legs were trembling slightly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands unconsciously grasped the edge of the stone platform.

"Who did it?"

Aaron was also out of breath, his knees were weak and he almost knelt down.

"We don't know either!"

"And that happened tens of thousands of years ago, so there's really no way to study it,"

"Master, please calm down!"

Listening to the exclamation of the old patriarch in front of him, Lu Chen closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down!

In the end, the earth-shattering terrifying murderous aura was suppressed bit by bit by Lu Chen.

Lu Chen said after opening his eyes again

"I want to see his tomb."

After seeing Lu Chen calm down, the old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief and nodded towards Aaron.

"Master Lu Chen, please come with me."

Aaron led Lu Chen through the stone house and walked inside along a narrow corridor.

At the end of the corridor, there is a small stone room.

A tombstone.

The tombstone was very crude, as if it had been made in a hurry.

The stone is ordinary, rough polished, and the writing on it is a bit blurry.

But that line of ultra-ancient text, Lu Chen, can still be recognized.

[First Aura Guardian, Aaron's tomb.]

[Sleep here together with his guardian monster.]

Lu Chen stood in front of the tombstone and didn't speak for a long time.

Aaron stood behind him and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But seeing Lu Chen's back, he finally sighed, turned around and left the stone room.

"Sir Lu Chen, I'm waiting for you outside. If you need anything, please call me at any time."

Only Lu Chen is left.

Lu Chen stretched out his hand and wiped the somewhat weathered tombstone.

His fingers brushed over the vague carvings, as if he wanted to touch something through the cold stone.

"Why did you die?"

Lu Chen's voice was very soft, and he couldn't help but think of what happened back then.

"Where did the child who said so brazenly that he would inherit my skills and protect his hometown go?"

Lu Chen's expression is still very calm.

But underneath that indifferent expression, there was an unusual sadness.

and Rage!

That emotion was so strong that it even disturbed Aerodactyl next to me.

Aerodactyl's eyes began to turn red, and he let out an angry growl from his throat.

With its wings half open, a dark red light glowed on the black rock. It almost went crazy.

"Okay, be quiet."

Lu Chen's voice was not loud, but Aerodactyl immediately lowered his head, folded his wings, and suppressed the rage.

Lu Chen waved to Gengar.

Gengar quickly emerged from the shadow.

It wasn't funny, it wasn't laughing, it wasn't even making any noise.

He honestly took out three things from the different space and placed them gently in front of the tombstone.

A bouquet of white flowers.

A statue of a goddess.

A bottle of Coke.

Lu Chen looked at the tombstone and smiled.

"This is the goddess statue that the Queen gave me. Haven't you always wanted it? I'll give it to you this time."

Lu Chen smiled and picked up the bottle of Coke again.

"And this Coke."

"When I came up with Beggar's Edition Coke in the super ancient times, I originally planned to use it to make money, but you ended up buying it all."

Lu Chen placed the Coke in front of the tombstone, twisted it away, and poured it into the paper cup.

"I told you, you are a child, drink less."

"After all these years, I still haven't let you drink the original version."

"This time it can be regarded as a little belated compensation."

Lu Chen stretched out his hand again and touched the tombstone in front of him. Lu Chen sat in front of the tombstone and sat there all afternoon.

"Do you still remember the first time we met outside, you brought your little girlfriend..."

"It will be night so soon."

Looking at the setting sun, Lu Chen sighed, stood up, patted the dust on his body, looked at the tombstone in front of him and said

"That's it for today. When I have the opportunity in the future, I'll come find you to catch up on old times."

Lu Chen left the tomb.

But Lu Chen couldn't help but talk while walking.

It seemed like he was talking to himself, but also like he was talking to someone.

"Obviously... I knew they had been dead for who knows how many years."

"Obviously I have already had psychological expectations."

Lu Chen's voice was trembling.

"But why..."

"Why is it still so hard to accept!"

Tick tock.

A drop of water falls on the ground.

The sky began to darken with clouds.

Looking out from the mouth of the valley at Aura Holy Land, thick black clouds are billowing rapidly on the distant skyline.

"Damn it!"

Lu Chen's voice suddenly became louder.

"Why did you ask me to leave suddenly after you've clearly allowed me to travel to the super ancient times?!"

"Why?!"

Boom--!

There was lightning and thunder. A heavy rain fell in the sky, soaking Lu Chen all over.

Take a day off, go out and take a rest, adjust your state and routine. You can no longer code in the middle of the night every day.
