Chapter 18: The Ancient Tree
Early the next morning, the little demon who woke up early found that the soup in the pot was cooked, and Chen'er and Lu Fenglin were gone.
Pouting, the little doll-like girl was a little angry, and after waking everyone up in a sullen manner, she ran out to look for dust.
"It's good to be young!" the old woman sighed, her eyes full of nostalgia.
"I think back then, when I was young, in addition to chasing you, I only knew how to cultivate, where was they so unrestrained!"
"You're embarrassed to talk about cultivation, it's obviously the two of us who are cultivating, and you're making trouble on the side. Because of this, the two of us were trained by the village chief!" the thin old man smiled.
"Then when didn't we make a fool of ourselves and I was punished myself? You two were geniuses in our village at that time, and the village chief treasured!" said the sturdy old man speechlessly.
"Wait a while, let's go back to the village, I've been out for so many years, and I kind of want to go back and see. The old woman said vaguely.
"Okay! Let someone else come and watch over when the time comes. Let's go out for a stroll! In this life, I have been cultivating since I first started, and then I have been fighting, and when this world is quiet, I have come to this place again. To be honest, I haven't really seen much of the outside world. ”
"Who isn't? Our generation is suffering! Everything bad has caught up, while it is still stable, and while it is still possible to walk, it is time to go and see it, otherwise this world will come in vain. ”
The sturdy old man and the thin old man chatted, and found that the old woman had fallen asleep without knowing when, and the two looked at each other, full of worry.
On the other side, Chen'er and Lu Fenglin came to the ancient tree.
Lu Fenglin was a little amazed when he saw such a large-scale tree for the first time, and when he looked at the dust next to him, he found that this thing was actually the same virtue as himself.
"Brother Xiaochen, it's your first time here?" Lu Fenglin asked with a smile.
Chen'er glanced around and nodded nervously.
"Look at you, what are you nervous about!"
"You don't understand!"
Lu Fenglin pursed his lips, feeling that Chen'er was playing tricks.
"What about the excitement you mean?" he hadn't forgotten what he had come for.
"Wait a minute. After Chen'er and Lu Fenglin finished speaking, they bowed three times to the ancient tree.
"Gu Shu senior, I am Chen'er, I came here today to ask for a leaf for my mother-in-law at home, and ask my predecessor to fulfill it. After saying this, Chen'er swallowed his saliva, and shouted cautiously: "A small piece is enough, I want to help the old lady live for 100,000 years." ”
The leaves rustled in the wind and did not respond.
"I, I can exchange things, Senior Ancient Tree, you can tell me what you need, and I'll help you find it. ”
The ancient tree still didn't react.
"Brother Xiaochen, what are you doing?" Lu Fenglin asked with a confused expression.
"I wanted a leaf, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get it, so I asked you to come along. Chen'er blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Fenglin said speechlessly: "If you want leaves, just drag a piece." ”
As he spoke, he jumped into the air with his feet on the ground, and sword shadows appeared under his feet, slowly lifting him up.
"Oh!"
"Don't~" Chen'er couldn't stop it, and watched Lu Fenglin, who had just flown up, being pulled down by the thin branches of an ancient tree.
"What the hell?" Lu Fenglin, who was embarrassed, asked incredulously while rubbing his face.
"It's alive, and no one can go up without permission. Chen'er said, then pointed to the ancient tree and said, "You have to follow its rules." ”
"So evil?" Lu Fenglin's eyes widened, and then he looked at the ancient tree's eyes, full of blazing heat.
"Say it, what's going on!" Lu Fenglin licked the corner of his mouth.
There are many kinds of people in this world, and everyone's preferences are different, some are keen to make money, some are addicted to alcohol, and some are addicted to gambling.
When some people reach a fanatic point for certain preferences, then these preferences are called hobbies.
Lu Fenglin is a particularly adventurous person, where strange things happen and where there are dangers, he wants to see them.
Outsiders may not understand, but this is the spiritual sustenance in their lives. Although not all of them are good, for this part of the people, this kind of spiritual sustenance is a part of their lives, or even most of them.
Lu Fenglin's sustenance has reached the point of paranoia and even fanaticism. Otherwise, as long as he is a normal person, he will not secretly follow someone else's boat to the forbidden area of life.
"Climb!" this is the method that Chen'er once heard the three old men say.
Under the premise of insufficient strength, the only way.
If the strength is enough, like the three old men, the tree spirits of the ancient tree will all show up.
No more communication, Lu Fenglin and Chen'er began to climb up the tree.
How thick is the ancient tree? Hundreds of people holding hands may not be able to hug each other, so in front of the two of them, it is like a wall!
The two of them could only grasp the raised texture of the bark and climb up little by little.
Although Lu Fenglin is a soul cultivator, he is very glad that the foundation he has laid in the foundation realm is not bad, so the "pediatrics" of climbing trees is not a problem.
Although Chen'er did not reach the Divine Power Realm, his foundation was very strong, and in Lu Fenglin's words later, "I have never seen you in such a fierce Foundation Realm." ”
But since climbing trees is so simple for dust, why did he call Lu Fenglin again?
For from the beginning of the place where the old tree branched out, there were beasts.
It's not a demon beast, it's not a spirit beast, it's not a brute beast, it's the guardian beast of the ancient tree.
Almost from the beginning of thousands of years of spirit extraction, the guardian beast can be born, the guardian beast guards the safety of the spirit extract, and the spirit extract provides the energy in the life of the guardian beast, and the two are companions.
Guardian beasts are strong and weak, and their strength, on the one hand, is related to the development of the day after tomorrow, and on the other hand, it also depends on the preciousness of the spirit extract.
Moreover, the spirit extract may be that one, and the number of guardian beasts is not a fixed number, but on the whole,
As an ancient tree that has existed for an unknown number of years, how strong is its guardian beast? How many guardian beasts it will have? No one knows.
Even Chen'er, who has always been blindly optimistic, can't get it right, so in order to ensure that he can succeed, Chen'er only jokingly invited a helper.
However, the adventurous helper's scalp tingled as soon as they climbed the first branch.
Dozens of spiders, about the size of an adult's head, ran from the tips of the branches, exuding fluctuations of strength that were no weaker than their own, surrounded by pitch-black and shiny shells.
Lu Fenglin turned his head and asked Chen'er, "Brother Xiaochen, what kind of beast is this?"
Chen'er blinked her big innocent eyes and said, "O guardian beast of the ancient tree!"
Lu Fenglin was a little speechless and said, "I know! I ask you, what kind of species are they!"
Chen'er quickly searched for the knowledge in his mind, then scratched his head and grinned: "I don't know!"
