Chapter 5: The Ancient Tree of Life
In the central area of the Seal Demon Island, in front of the half-green ancient tree of life, the three of them appeared out of thin air.
The old woman, who was hunched on her back, looked up at the ancient tree that reached into the sky, and sighed.
"You know, we're here too, let's come out and see you"
There was silence all around.
The old woman frowned, and before she could speak, the sturdy man on the side began to scold: "What do you mean? Labor and management have lived for almost 100,000 years, so they have been guarding this chaotic world for almost 100,000 years! If you can't handle your affairs well, our entire race will help you again, and now you won't even come out to see each other? Do you believe that if you don't do anything in the future, you will stare at you every day, and sooner or later your roots will be uprooted!"
The thin old man stopped the sturdy old man who was furious, and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist, we have been coming to Seal Demon Island for some years, although we haven't moved, but you also know what kind of temper we have, since we are here today, if you don't come out to see us, we will definitely not leave." β
With a sigh, the leaves of the ancient tree of life made a sound, and a staggered swaying of light and shadow formed the appearance of a man in white and walked out of the ancient tree.
"Fellow Daoist, why bother, you know my situation. It's not that I don't want to save it, it's not that I can't save it, it's that I can't save it!"
The man in white said helplessly.
The old woman glanced at the man in white and said coldly: "Our clan had tens of millions of living beings in its heyday, but how many people are left now?"
The man in white was speechless for an instant, and only spit out three words after pondering for a while: "I know." β
The old woman continued: "Then do you know why we are the only ones left now? Indeed, it is the responsibility of every living thing in this world to protect this world, but the premise is that you have not defended it! That's why it is our turn! But what are you? What are we? We don't have your great strength! We can only fill with our lives. β
The old woman paused, and then continued: "If we had not chosen to resist, but compromised, our clan would have become even stronger, and it would have been you who would have disappeared! We have sacrificed the lives of almost all of our clan, although we are protecting this world, we are also protecting you!"
The old woman's voice was a little excited, she coughed a few words, breathed a sigh of relief, and said sharply: "For so many years, we only have one request today, and you actually say that you can't save it?!"
The man in white began to be silent again, and after a long while, he spoke: "Fellow Daoistβ"
As soon as he spoke, he stopped and turned to look to the west.
In an ancient mountain in the central realm, a man with unkempt hair and a beggar looked to the east and said slowly: "What if I also hope that you can save this child?"
The man in white was a little incredulous, and replied, "This child, is it yours?"
"That's right, do you save it or not!" the unkempt man could not hear any tone of discussion in his inquiring words.
The two exchanged for a while before ending the call.
The three old men on the Hind Demon Island didn't know what was going on, they only knew that the man in white looked up at the west, and then he didn't move.
The man in white sighed again, turned to stare at the three old men, and said solemnly: "There is only one in the world, and it is one of the three greatest opportunities in this world.
After speaking, the man in white opened his mouth, and a fruit engraved with nameless marks slowly flew out of his mouth, and gradually landed on the chest of the swarthy little boy, merging into one.
After the man in white finished doing this, he seemed to have grown old for endless years, and his figure was a little weak.
"Although we know that this is a bit harsh, we really have no other way, thank you!"
The man in white waved his hand: "Forget it, someone will thank you for you, go back." β
After speaking, the figure faded away.
At the same time, a tender green leaf fell from the ancient tree of life, wrapped the beast pill, and sent it into the mouth of the little fox.
At the foot of the ancient mountain, an old man with fairy wind and bones next to the sloppy man raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Saved?"
The sloppy man looked at the old man of the fairy wind and snorted coldly: "Does he dare to save it?"
Immediately afterwards, his eyes returned to the crystal coffin in front of him, and the dark color was a little sad.
"At the beginning, when she fell, he said that he couldn't save it, if he didn't make a move today, would this world still be left?"
The old man of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone asked again, "How long is it?"
Only then did the sloppy man's face show some joy: "It's coming, it's coming! After so many years, it's finally coming!"
The old man of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone nodded and said, "The world is going to be chaotic again, if you can succeed before we do, then we won't be so tired." β
Before the sloppy man could speak, the old man waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything else, they are coming out again, I have to arrange the arrangement." And in the past few days, I have just calculated that a few stars have been born, and I will pick them up. I'm the first person in the Tao, and I can't always be led by their nose!"
After speaking, the figure disappeared, and the sloppy man continued to pour the energy from heaven and earth into the crystal coffin.
The place where the three old men live is the south of Inmo Island, near the light film.
There are more than a dozen simple earthen houses, all of different heights, sizes, and orientations.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these are more than a dozen ordinary houses, but cultivators seem to have hidden mysteries in them.
Yin and yang are not relative, and north and south are not in the same phase.
This is a long-lost formation of the Terrans.
The swarthy boy and the little white fox had been put into the room, and the three old men had returned to their chaise longens.
"You say, didn't the senior who came out of the dust just now talk to the ancient tree?" the sturdy old man spoke first.
It turned out that the swarthy little boy was called Chen'er.
"I don't know, I don't want to know, this kid is carrying a lot of things. Although the cultivation of the three of us old guys is okay, with all due respect, we can't afford to mix. The thin old man said.
"Anyway, Chen'er's life has been saved, what is he carrying, let him carry it himself! He can't carry it, and I can!" The old woman snorted coldly, a little dissatisfied with the thin old man's words.
The thin old man glanced at the sturdy old man, his face was full of helplessness, and he quickly changed the topic and asked, "Chen'er's body, have you checked it?"
Hearing this, the old woman's already wrinkled face filled in a few more wrinkles.
"The soul sea is broken, the spirit mansion is sealed, let's fight back and forth, and the result is a cheap puppy. β
The sturdy old man suddenly looked overjoyed, and pretended to be innocent and said: "In terms of talent, Chen'er is very strong in soul cultivation, spiritual cultivation and physical cultivation, otherwise we wouldn't have blushed countless times in order to compete for this kid." It's a pity that such a good seedling can only follow me as an individual cultivator. β
In the end, the sturdy old man couldn't hide it anymore, and said with a smile: "Special mother, I'll just say that this kid is born with physical cultivation materials, you have to rob it!
"Huh-" An inexplicable gust of wind blew, and there was an extra red mark on the sturdy old man's face.
"What's the matter? It's not that I said, with your spiritual cultivation methods, can you hurt me?" The sturdy old man looked at the old woman with a smug expression, then glanced at the thin old man and said, "Their soul cultivation is worthy of tickling me!"
The voice paused, and the sturdy old man seemed to remember something, and said fiercely to the old woman: "No, I said that we are all so old, can you stop calling me by my nickname?!"
