Chapter 59: Liumu Pan (5) The Ancient Tree
Although there was some delay in that weird house, we also got some clues. For example, we thought that the tree must have grown near the house in the town, but in fact, judging from the painting, the tree should have grown on some cliff, so our aimless search was all a waste of time.
Ping'an Town, like Qinghe Town, is a small town located in the mountains, because it is surrounded by mountains, and this tree grows on the cliff, which really adds a lot of difficulty to our search. It can only be said that there is no endless road, although Ping'an Town is surrounded by mountains, there is one side that is different. The trees growing on this side of the mountain are particularly small compared to the other three sides, and even the sounds of birds coming from the mountains seem to be rarer.
Beiqi only looked around, and then led us towards this cliff. It's not that I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but that Beiqi is too active for me to have to doubt. He had been circling around me in the name of repaying his kindness, and I felt that he had a purpose, especially since he learned of the existence of this tree.
The road up the mountain was winding and rugged, and as we got closer to the cliffs, there was already a faint moonlight shining on the ground, and now it was autumn, and the temperature began to gradually decrease, and at night, the cool breeze came in from all directions, which made me feel cold. I couldn't help but shrink back and complained, "Ping'an Town is a ruined town, empty, even if I transform into my original form, it won't scare anyone." Why do you have to let me learn one step at a time? ”
I folded my arms and turned to look at Song Yunjing.
Song Yunjing glanced up at me, lowered his head and concentrated on the road, and said perfunctorily: "The so-called experience should be done in accordance with the standards of the mortal world, even if it is a journey of thousands of miles, it should be measured step by step with your own feet." How can you retreat because of a tired word, and you have to use Taoism to solve the problem? ”
I am already accustomed to the great truth that Song Yunjing and Murong Chuan generally come when they open their mouths. So Song Yunjing's words have no educational significance for me at all. I disdainfully 'cut' and dragged my heavy steps up the hill.
"Arrived" Beiqi in front of him suddenly stopped.
When I heard his words, my steps had already gone out, and I had to retract my steps in a hurry for fear of stepping on Beiqi, but I didn't know that inertia dictated. Seeing that I was about to fall on Beiqi's back, Song Yunjing quickly grabbed me and avoided a tragedy.
I shook my head helplessly, Beiqi's absent-mindedness in the past two days has given me a headache, even if I want to say something now, I'm afraid he won't hear a word, it's better to follow his wishes.
The scene in front of me is not much different from the painting, there is indeed a towering ancient tree growing in the stone wall. It is very tall, its thick body needs two muscular adults to hold hands to encircle it, and its canopy is huge, like a house, which can shelter the sky and the moon, wind and rain. It's just that......
I couldn't help but pull a smile at the corner of my mouth, saying that I was gloating, jealous and jealous. Anyway, seeing that this tree is now half-dead, my heart is inexplicably relaxed: "It seems that whether it is heavenly punishment or heavenly calamity, it has not survived." ”
As soon as the slightly mocking words came out, Song Yunjing and Beiqi turned their heads to look at me at the same time. There was a flash of anger in Beiqi's eyes, but he hid it so well that he looked away when I looked at him.
Song Yunjing sighed, as if he was very helpless about my temperament.
In the moonlight, the leaves on the canopy of the tree were no longer vigorous and lush, and many branches were broken from it. From the fracture, it is clear that these wounds were inflicted not long ago, as the branches hanging from the tree have not completely withered. If my expectations are correct, the only thing that can smash this ancient tree into the miserable scene in front of me is the thunder of the past few days.
A cool breeze blew, and the leaves of the old trees were blown to a rattle.
At this moment, a sharp voice came to our ears with the wind: "Who is coming?" How dare you trespass into my realm? ”
The voice is solemn and loud, and it makes people's hearts flutter for no reason. The corners of my mouth curled even higher, for there was a sense of weakness hidden under the solemn voice, and I thought that the dryad was trying to cover it up.
I raised an eyebrow and replied casually, "Yunze Lake Dongge." ”
A light laugh came from the air, echoing among the cliffs: "Yunze Lake-kun, I have the honor to meet once. And who is Dongge? I've never heard of it. ”
I smiled slightly: "I'm just a small water tribe cultivating in Yunze Lake, this is my first time stepping into the human world, it's not surprising that you haven't heard of it." ”
The tree snorted coldly and said, "Little aquarium? Why did Jiaolong devalue his identity so much? Although I was struck by the thunder of the sky and retreated, I have not yet reached the point where I can't know anyone. ”
I glanced at the ancient tree, leaned into Song Yunjing's ear and said, "Did you hear that?" Don't call me Big Black Snake again. Then I turned around and replied, "Then you are so strange, since you have clearly seen my original form, why do you pretend to ask me for my identity?" ”
Maybe it was because I was acting too relaxed and natural, Gu Shu was very dissatisfied with my attitude, and a cold voice sounded in the air: "It's just a dragon, but it's very self-righteous." You now see that I am seriously injured, so you dare to look at no one like this, right? ”
I stared intently at the ancient tree, smiled and said, "You misunderstood, I don't dare to see no one, I'm just telling the truth." If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it. ”
The old trees shook their branches, and some dead leaves fell down. The voice that couldn't hear the emotion sounded faintly: "The power of the Dao is really strong, little Jiaolong, you have been through the tribulation for so long but still haven't recognized the changes in yourself, it's really dull." Do you know that you have no way in your heart, and you are afraid that you will fall into the ranks of the demon clan. But I'm very curious, Yunze Lake has such an aquarium, and Yunze Lake Jun didn't do anything. ”
I frowned sharply, and a tumult surged in my heart, what is the Tao? How could this old dryad say something strange? I raised my eyes, and a bright smile squeezed out of the corner of my mouth: "You don't have to worry about me, you should worry about yourself first." With the way you look now, I'm afraid you won't be able to breathe for long. ”
"The Great Black Snake." Song Yunjing snorted and looked at me with some concern.
I smiled: "Why don't you have such a long memory?" How many times have I said it, my name is, Dong, Ge. I gritted my name word by word, staring at Song Yunjing coldly.
Song Yunjing put his hands on my shoulders, and the ambassador of strength felt a burst of pain in my shoulder blades: "Dongge, you are sober and sober, don't think about what the tree said, it is all bewitching you." ”
Suddenly, the ancient tree laughed loudly, and laughed very heartily: "You little Taoist priest is very smart, but although I am deliberately trying to confuse that little dragon, what I say is not adulterated. If you are really smart, you should kill this little dragon while you are right, otherwise when she falls into the demon clan, your little cultivation will not be able to deal with her. ”
