With a grunt, I swallowed and I asked, "Who are you?"

There was a clicking sound in the coffin, and then something sat up, covered in turquoise.

Seeing this, I instinctively took two steps back, frightened.

This thing is like a cyborg in an American blockbuster, covered in green and barely recognizable in human form, but the head and limbs have been deformed and turned into the shape of a tree.

"Are you scared?" he looked at me with a slight smile.

"Hmm. I nodded and said, "I've never seen you like this." ”

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. He continued.

"Please don't hurt my friends. I quickly spoke.

"No, I'm not going to hurt any of you, including the masked man. He said.

"The masked man doesn't matter, it's better if you kill him, he just said that he would transfer machinery to cut you, you should have heard it. I spoke up.

He smiled slightly and said: "You kid, when is it time to retribution for wrongs? ”

"Your doorman?" I looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, my doorman, the person who can open this seal with three jade pendants must be my doorman. He said, "And they all have the marks of my kind, but the marks of you and your daughter-in-law are false." ”

I said, "I also made a lot of sacrifices for the task, and that soldering iron hurts a lot." ”

"Hehe, it naturally hurts, but your mark doesn't have the effect of reviving the dead. He said.

"Huh, does their sigil have this effect?" I asked rhetorically.

"They all have this effect, but among the three factions, two factions don't use it, because this is actually taking other people's lives to die for themselves, and you have also seen the nine people who died in lieu of death. He said.

I gasped, it turned out that this was the secret of the seal, and I said, "How could you create such an evil spell?"

"Maybe you think he is evil now, because your current era is different, if it was in the past, then this is naturally a supreme spell, many emperors have tried their best to seek immortality, and there are a hundred times more vicious than my method, and it can even be described as exterminating human nature. He explained.

I also know a little bit about what he said, and I said, "So you are a Momen giant?"

He nodded, sighed, and said, "It's such an unfamiliar name, I've forgotten who I am, in fact, it's just a title." ”

"How did you end up like this?" I looked at him in amazement.

"Hey. He sighed and said: "For the sake of the emperor, for the emperor to find the way of immortality, many people have to test the medicine or the law, I was thinking that since ancient times, what things can be immortal? In addition to the legendary immortals, there are only the sun, moon and stars, and the things that live forever or longevity around us are most common are stones and trees, stones are dead things, and only trees are living things, so I wonder if people can live like trees for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years?"

I looked at the giant in front of me dumbfounded, and said in disbelief, "So, you succeeded?"

"Sort of, but what's the use? Just like I am now, people are not ghosts, and even you are afraid when you see them, so it is better to live than to die. He said with a sigh.

"Can you tell me how you did that?" I looked at him dumbfounded.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, I led a team of men and horses out to find the elixir of life for the king, and then the people below got a top-secret news, that is, there is a sacred tree in the Kunlun Mountains far away in the Western Regions, this tree blooms for five hundred years, bears fruit in five hundred years, the fruit matures and falls to the ground in five hundred years, and the ripe fruit eats it, and people can live forever, it is rumored that Qin Shi Huang found someone to find this kind of fruit, but when he found the tree, it had not bloomed at all, and then Qin Shi Huang died without waiting for the result. The giant sighed and said, "I was in the mood to go and see, but when I went there I found that the tree did not bear fruit, but the tree was really tall, and I thought it was just a deceptive legend." ”

"No, if you didn't find the fruit, how did you end up like this?" I looked at him in amazement.

"The tree did not bloom and did not bear fruit, and the people who followed me were very angry, so they were ready to cut down the tree, and then no matter how they cut, no matter how sharp the sword was, it could not be cut in, which surprised us, and then we couldn't see it, and thought about it or cut his roots, and dug it down, but after digging down, I found a fruit under the tree, and the fruit was still attached to the roots, it turned out that the tree did not blossom and bear fruit on the tree, but under the roots, growing in the soil, and the fruit was also very scary, only the size of the piece of black jade you took just now, but it was a lifelike baby, but it closed its eyes, and there was no sign of lifeIt smells of trees. Juzi said.

"Could this be the legendary Kunlun Divine Tree?" I looked at the giant dumbfounded.

"Perhaps. The giant nodded and said, " I got this fruit at the time, and then I didn't dare to give it to you rashly, after all, I don't know whether it's true or not, until after the king passed away, I didn't tell him about this fruit, until my own limit came, I was still haunted by this matter, so before I swallowed it, I buried myself at the bottom of this peach blossom pool, and asked Lu Ban to help me design this ink bucket mountain, and set up yin and yang on the peach blossom pool, so that my body at the bottom of the pool would not rot, but later I found that I was not dead, and the fruit swallowed in the stomach actually took root and sprouted, and used my own body as nutrientsThe water here is abundant, and the water is full of nutrients, and it slowly grew into such a big size that it even absorbed my consciousness into it, and I became a tree man alive. ”

I was completely dumbfounded, even if it was a tree man, it was immortal, which meant that he had succeeded, but how could he be so miserable?

It's just that if I die, I can become like this, and continue to live in this way, maybe I will consider it, but the premise is that Yuelan is also like me, becoming such a tree, and then not at the bottom of this pool, we have to go into the mountains and walk around.

I was on the spot, and I didn't know how to speak, but I heard the giant continue: "I got a mechanism, and passed down three jade pendants, as the key to open here, I just want future generations to open it, to see if I succeeded." ”

It dawned on me, oh, where is there any treasure? It turned out that there was such a secret hidden, and now the truth was revealed.
