Chapter 66: Dryads
Chapter 66: Tree Spirit
Body:
The sun was gradually sinking in the west, and looking at the crescent moon rising little by little in the sky, Shen Qianxun had a lot less distractions in his heart. After calming down, I looked around and saw that it was already pitch black in the depths of the jungle. With a slight sigh, he prepared to turn around and go down the mountain.
By the moonlight, Shen Qianxun walked down the mountain. There was the occasional cry of birds and beasts in the forest, accompanied by the sound of the evening breeze blowing the leaves, and it was not silent. Walking to the bottom of the mountain, Shen Qianxun walked towards the village according to the route he had come. But just like that, something strange happened.
Shen Qianxun found that he couldn't find the path he came from, and when he looked around, there were dense trees and grass bushes everywhere. Shen Qianxun took out the positioning compass he carried with him, and drove it with spiritual power, trying to determine his location.
And the incredible thing is that even when the compass arrives here, it is in a state of chaos, and it is impossible to discern the direction at all. Shen Qianxun reluctantly put away the compass. Looking closely at the surroundings, it seems that there is nothing special about the vegetation here.
Shen Qianxun tried to return according to the route he remembered, but it was only in vain. No matter how far he walked, the road ahead seemed to have no end, only a pitch-black mixed with a vague dark green, presented in front of Shen Qianxun.
Shen Qianxun had a bad premonition in his heart, and he put the Demon Suppression Sword in his hand, and decided to meditate silently, preparing to leave the sky above the sword. Fortunately, the spiritual power can still control the sword into the air. But when he came to this jungle, Shen Qianxun really foreshadowed the crisis.
From top to bottom, within a radius of 100 miles, it is covered by trees. Shen Qianxun couldn't help but be shocked. Impossible, how can this be? How could there be no shadow of Shili Village? Such an incredible thing, in Shen Qianxun's opinion, was deliberately done by someone.
It seems that if you break through, you are afraid of touching the eyes of the person who set up the formation. The enemy is bright and I am dark, and besides, in this dark night, we have to outwit it. Receiving spiritual power, Shen Qianxun stood alertly in the distance. Thinking about where you are and what to do next.
Who is it that sets up this psychedelic array? Since arriving in Jizhou, everyone has been keeping a low profile and has never offended anyone. If you say that this person who set up the formation, I am afraid that it is only aimed at Shen Qianxun. Who the hell is it?
Shen Qianxun thought about all the people who were possible. Could it be that in the evening today, she had a quarrel with Na Mo Shuang, and she wanted to play tricks on herself? But on second thought, it won't be her. Because the person who can set up this hidden array, the spiritual power is really not to be underestimated, shake his head and extinguish this idea.
Suddenly, Shen Qianxun remembered that there was another person who was very likely, and the biggest obstacle for everyone at the moment was the woman named Yutian. Thinking about it this way, with her spiritual power, she could have cast such a formation. Shen Qianxun's heart was hot, nine times out of ten it was that woman!
It's just that what puzzled him was that in the battle that day, Yu Tian made his words clear, and it didn't look like he was acting perfunctory at all. But right now, apart from her, no one else has any reason or ability to do such a thing.
Anger rose in Shen Qianxun's heart, and he couldn't help but roar: "This kind of formation, Miss Fei Yutian can't do it." Since you're here, I'm going to ask the girl to show up. When these words were shouted, there was no response as expected for a long time.
I couldn't help but shout again, but no one answered. Shen Qianxun had a slight doubt in his heart, if Nayu heard this, he wanted to show up, but why today? Just as he was about to open his mouth to say another third sentence, there was a loud rustling sound in the direction behind him.
Shen Qianxun immediately alertly picked up the Demon Suppression Sword, and quickly crossed to the rear, not frightened, on the contrary, as expected. With just one sound, Shen Qianxun accurately found the source of the strange sound, but when he got closer, there was nothing suspicious except for a stout and old tree that looked like it was a hundred years old.
Shen Qianxun frowned, could it be a beast foraging in the mountains? But after a while, Shen Qianxun vetoed this idea vigorously. Because in retrospect, since he realized that he was lost in this jungle, he had not heard any birds and beasts at all, not even the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, it was really a dead silence!
Because he was too nervous just now, he only thought about the people who set up the formation, and he didn't notice this obvious change, and now that he thinks about it, he doesn't even have a sound at all! Shen Qianxun felt that the crisis was there, and this matter must not be so simple.
I was about to turn around and look elsewhere for clues, but as soon as I turned around, the strange rustling sound sounded again. This time, Shen Qianxun heard it clearly. Turning around, he pointed the Demon Suppression Sword decisively at the old tree behind him, and said coldly: "Why are you trapping me here?" ”
This kind of reaction made the old tree stand still for a while, without a trace of anger, and the silence seemed to make Shen Qianxun move, the judgment he made in an instant just now was wrong, and everything just now was just his own illusion.
But he believed in himself, and his judgment and intuition could not be wrong. Sure enough, a moment later, the withered vine and old tree actually spoke! The voice was hoarse and low, full of vicissitudes: "That's right, the person who laid this psychedelic array is me." ”
Shen Qianxun asked puzzledly: "Why are you trapping me in this formation!" The old tree spirit hesitated for a moment. said with a slight displeasure in his tone: "Little doll, if the old man is not mistaken, are you waiting for this trip for that Mu Xuanjing?" Shen Qianxun didn't expect this old tree spirit to lead the topic to this, besides, what does this matter have to do with him?
Shen Qianxun replied disdainfully: "What's the matter, can this matter be related to you?" The old tree spirit smoothed the long beard-like vine with a dry branch, and smiled slightly: "It has nothing to do with old decay." Shen Qianxun was a little annoyed: "Then why are you meddling in your business and trapping me here?" ”
The old tree spirit was not in a hurry, but came slowly: "The little doll is so anxious, I'm afraid that I will find it for thousands of years in the ten-mile village under this mountain, and I can't find the location of the wood Xuanjing, can I listen to the old man finish speaking?" The old tree spirit said confidently to Shen Qianxun.
Shen Qianxun saw that the old tree spirit had no malicious intent, and slowly put back the demon suppression sword, and spit out a word: "Speak!" The old tree spirit said with a smile, he was sure that he would comply, and he was not in a hurry. Why did you step into this Jizhou city and it was all kinds of trouble? "I'll tell you about it."
Although Shen Qianxun was anxious to know the news of Mu Xuanjing, he also understood that this old tree spirit had spare time at this time to have a lot to do with Xuanjing. There is no interruption, indicating that it is a default.
"Three hundred years ago, that Mu Xuanjing was enshrined in the main hall of the Tianci Temple in Jizhou City, there are countless people every day, just to worship Xuanjing, within a hundred years, Jizhou wind and rain are smooth, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, until one day"
