Chapter 222: Helplessness
Honglian sighed deeply: "You are also from a big family, is it necessary to take out this kind of thing and tell me? You don't always like to pretend to be innocent and innocent in front of Chang Sheng, I just want to live as simple as possible when I have no baggage, so I don't want to doubt what others say! But ...... There is always an end to everything, while you can be simple, try to live as simple as possible, this is my cousin's advice to you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Chang Sheng felt a deep helplessness from the conversation between the two, especially Xiao Qi! Chang Sheng had felt that Xiao Qi was not as innocent as an ordinary child, but he didn't want he, a combination of the second generation of power and the second generation of wealth, to bear so many heavy things at such a young age.
Xiao Qi's eyes were dim, revealing a maturity that did not match his age, which made Chang Sheng feel distressed. Xiao Qi felt Chang Sheng's gaze, and immediately returned to his usual appearance, and retorted to Honglian with a smile: "What does my cousin compare with me, I have too many brothers and sisters, unlike my cousin's family, who can take charge of things now, no matter how my family turns, I can't worry about it." ”
Red Lotus snorted, noncommittal.
Chang Sheng was called by the red lotus and drank it, and did his best as a servant. Since there is Chang Sheng, the servant No. 2, Xia Fan's servant No. 1 has been completely liberated. Except for official work on the information network, he basically does all the work for Changsheng, and in his spare time, he goes to his brother Charles to gossip about home.
As the patriarch of the fox clan, Red Lotus has a lot of work and can't rest until late at night. When Chang Sheng dragged his tired body to his room, he saw a huge banyan tree in the middle of the courtyard where Red Lotus lived and was emitting a faint light.
Chang Sheng was curious, and slowly walked under the tree to stop and watch. The trunk of the banyan tree is very thick, and I am afraid that it will take four or five people to carry it together. It has many aerial roots, plunging from the huge canopy to the ground, and the whole looks like a pavilion building supported by many pillars.
There are many wind chimes tied to the banyan tree, and the bells swing with the wind, but they do not make a sound, if it weren't for the insects and birds around him, Chang Sheng almost mistakenly thought that his ears were deaf.
The banyan tree emitted a pale red light, and the light became more and more intense, and the whole tree seemed to be burning with flames! The reason for this effect was the mist that emanated from the tree, and the mist also had a faint red light, like a mist like a glow, slowly diffusing to the surroundings.
That's how it came about.
"Is it beautiful?" a male voice sounded behind him.
Chang Sheng turned around and saw Xia Fan standing in the red mist looking up at the fiery banyan tree, his blue eyes seemed to be burning with raging flames. Chang Sheng looked back at the banyan tree again and said lightly: "It's a little terrifying." ”
Xia Fan looked at Chang Sheng in surprise, the fiery banyan tree reflected in Chang Sheng's eyes, but it was as soft as the morning sun. The corners of Xia Fan's mouth raised a subtle smile, "It's too late, go back to sleep early!" My master has to get up early every day, and tomorrow if you are sleepy, you will be punished." ”
At the thought of suffering and suffering tomorrow, Chang Sheng didn't even have the strength to be curious. He replied with a sigh, and dragged his heavy body back. As soon as he returned to the house, Chang Sheng fell headlong on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Before dawn the next day, Chang Sheng was called up by Xia Fan and asked him to go running with his master Red Lotus! Chang Sheng didn't expect that the monster would also run in the morning! However, when he really ran with him, Chang Sheng knew that Red Lotus's morning run was really not something that ordinary people could accompany.
When Chang Sheng followed Honglian and ran around Linling Village for thirty laps and fell to the ground tired, Honglian had already completed fifty laps, sitting beside Chang Sheng with a red face and panting, and despised Chang Sheng for a long time.
Chang Sheng slowed down for more than ten minutes before he got up from the ground and sighed: "I remember that when I saw you and Li Han fighting in Hanyue Temple before, I thought that the speed of the two of you was very fast, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." In less than half an hour, you can run fifty laps around Linling Village, which is amazing!"
Honglian snorted coldly, "This is nothing, the most important ability of our people who run the information network is not to fight, but to escape! The most important thing is to be able to get the word out!"
Chang Sheng nodded in understanding. At this moment, he and Honglian were sitting on the big stone on the top of the mountain, and Chang Sheng happened to catch a glimpse of the big banyan tree in the Red Lotus Courtyard, and asked curiously, "Why does that big banyan tree glow red at night and emit a light red mist?"
According to Red Lotus, no one knows why the banyan tree shines, but this banyan tree is very important to their fox clan and can be said to be the lifeblood of their entire fox clan.
Many of the extremely secret information collected by the fox clan and important things in the clan will be sealed in the wind chimes hanging on the banyan tree, and the banyan tree has existed here since ancient times, and it has a deep relationship with the fox clan.
The things that are sealed on the banyan tree can only be taken out by the patriarch of the fox clan. And the patriarch of the fox clan is not everyone can be the one, the banyan tree only recognizes the blood of the fox clan, and the patriarch of the fox clan must sign a contract with the banyan tree to nourish the banyan tree with his own demonic power, and can never leave the range of the roots of the banyan tree.
Chang Sheng asked in surprise, "In other words, you will never be able to leave Linling Village?"
Red Lotus nodded silently, "The place where we are sitting is the farthest distance from the banyan tree that I can reach now, and if I go one step further, I will suffer the pain of eating bones." ”
"There's no other way, it's not fair to you!" Chang Sheng said angrily.
Honglian looked at Linling Village, which was still very quiet early in the morning under the mountain, and said calmly: "There is nothing fair or unfair, this is all fate! Even if it is not me, there must always be someone in the fox clan to bear all this, if I am not right, maybe it will be Xiao Qi's turn in the future!"
Chang Sheng was taken aback, of course he didn't want Xiao Qi to be tied up here, but he couldn't say that to Honglian in this way, because it would hurt her! Chang Sheng changed the topic and asked, "It's not good to tell me about such an important thing as an outsider, okay?"
Red Lotus smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, this banyan tree is an open secret, and many people know about it. But what's the use of knowing, no one but me can take down the secrets of the banyan tree. ”
"Yes, otherwise there would be no need to send so many masters to protect you. Chang Sheng looked at the Wuxia Villa and muttered to himself.
"You're much smarter than when you were a kid!" Red Lotus said approvingly, "You're right, the only way outsiders can take the wind chimes from the banyan tree is to kill me! )
