Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt is said that this place was originally a natural sacred mountain, with abundant spiritual power and a lot of vitality.
There is a mountain in the Valley of Peace, called Yin Soul Mountain, because there are countless Yin Soul wandering on it, which is very accessible to people, even some monks with high mana, and even the great master has to be restrained by the power of countless Yin Soul Mountain here, and only seventy percent of the mana is left here. Therefore, for a long time, this place was feared by many monks.
However, neither the Valley of Peace nor the Mountain of the Shadow Soul was originally like this.
Thousands of years ago, there were countless spiritual beings growing here, and the animals in the valley had strong vitality, one because of the abundant spiritual power in the valley, and the other because there were all kinds of plants growing in the valley, including many sacred trees and sacred grasses that could make people get life.
The most coveted of these plants and trees is naturally a sacred tree of life, which has taken many years to grow, because when someone sees it, it is already there.
This tree is as high as the sky, the width is about hundreds of miles, the trunk is vigorous and majestic, the upper end is like a canopy, straight into the clouds, and the branches are lush enough to cover the sky and the sun. The most striking thing is not the size of the tree, but the fact that some special fruits can grow on it.
This tree blooms for a thousand years and bears fruit for a thousand years, and the fruit is only less than ten, and each fruit is pregnant with infinite vitality, which is enough for a person to live for a hundred more years.
However, at that time, the natives born around the sacred tree did not have so much wisdom, and they only regarded the sacred tree as a sacred being, and they knelt down and worshiped every day like a god, praying for the protection of the gods.
Coincidentally, this sacred tree is probably due to its relatively vigorous vitality, and some of the vitality often flows out, and the indigenous people who worship on the side of the sacred tree naturally live a long life, which makes the local residents more convinced that the sacred tree is the representative of the gods, and they are more and more in awe.
Probably because of the remoteness of the place, the dense woods, and the fact that there have been no outsiders to disturb the balance here, and the locals live happily.
However, the good times did not last long, and the existence of such a rare artifact here would inevitably cause some abnormalities.
It was about 2,000 years ago that human beings began to become aware of many issues, including rights, territory, and vitality.
As a result, they began to divide their forces and form tribal forces, competing with each other for land and life, and constantly killing and grabbing. This period, which can almost be said to be covered in blood and carnage, is so much so that later generations call it the Scarlet Period.
In these robbing, the status of the sacred tree was slowly diluted by people, no longer as sacred as before, but only as a symbol, a totem and contended, if any tribe can live on the edge of the sacred tree, not only enjoy the protection of the sacred tree, but also prove the strength of the tribe.
Looking at this bloody era, many people who sincerely believe in the sacred tree feel extremely disappointed, but there is no way to do anything about this era of drinking blood and forcibly plundering.
Until one day, there was a pair of brothers, both warriors of the tribe, but tired of war and killing, and they met together to pray by the sacred tree.
When they prayed sincerely, they were surprised to find that a magical aura came down from the sacred tree, sometimes like new life, sometimes like silence.
At first, it is as pure as a newborn baby, with endless vitality, giving people a feeling of renewal, as if it can make dead trees bloom and the dead come back to life. In just a moment, it turned into a dead spirit, which made people afraid to touch it, as if to condemn this bloody era and pull the whole world into darkness.
The two brothers were very puzzled and curious about this, and wondered if this was the guidance of the gods, in order to guide the whole world to peace. After a long discussion, the two decided to find out.
So, the two of them climbed up the trunk together, eating some leaves when they were hungry and thirsty, and taking a short rest when they were tired, and then continuing to climb.
After three days and three nights of climbing, they finally reached a flat tree trunk, and all around them were completely surrounded by clouds and mist, and they could not see their fingers.
The two walked hand in hand in the clouds, for fear of getting lost and unable to find each other.
Not only did they walk for a long time, but they still hadn't come out of the clouds, but both of them were exhausted, and there was not even a leaf on the flat trunk, and hunger made their situation even worse.
Just when the two of them were lying on the ground with Venus in their eyes and about to pass out, above them, a faint light flashed in the clouds.
This light flashed and was fleeting, and it only made people think that it was a dazzle.
But the two men did see it, and they were sure that it wasn't a hallucination caused by hunger.
The two brothers suddenly came to their senses, and even fatigue and hunger were temporarily forgotten, and they rose up the last remaining strength and climbed up again.
After a cup of tea, they finally climbed to the edge of the faint light with all their might. The elder brother of the two brothers reached out and grabbed it in the direction of the flash, only to feel a numbness in his hand, as if he had touched lightning. He reflexively withdrew his hand and glanced at it, and his face was filled with surprise, for his hand had turned charred black in that moment, and he had completely lost consciousness.
Thinking that the gods had sinned against them, the brothers hurriedly knelt down and prayed to the sacred tree.
Hunger and severe physical exhaustion faltered the warriors of the two tribes, but they did not move a single inch, but prayed intently.
I don't know if it was their piety that moved the heavens, and after a low roar, the surrounding clouds and mist gradually dispersed, revealing the existence of light in it.
The two brothers noticed something strange around them, and when they looked up, they saw that above them was actually the canopy of the sacred tree, on which countless ordinary green leaves grew.
However, among the green leaves, there are eight special leaves that caught the attention of the two brothers.
These eight leaves are eight different colors, and there are eight different spiritual energies lingering on the leaves, faintly revealing auspicious energy, and they are not ordinary at first glance.
The two brothers were dumbfounded, they had never seen such a strange leaf, and they wanted to reach out to pick it at the moment, but suddenly thought of what had happened just now, and withdrew their hands tremblingly.
However, if you don't pick it, you don't have the strength to go down, you can only die here, if you pick it, this leaf should have a special divine power, maybe you can rely on its divine power, find a glimmer of life.
After discussing it for a while, the younger brother decided to let him go, because one of his hands was seriously injured and crippled, and he could not let the elder brother sacrifice again. The elder brother didn't agree, but both of them were exhausted, and the oil ran out of lamps, so there was no time to argue anymore, so he had to leave it to him.
With the support of the elder brother, the younger brother climbed up the canopy along the last section of the trunk and slowly approached the eight leaves. He couldn't believe what would happen next, but after all, he was a warrior of the tribe, and he would not be defeated by fear, so he still reached out hard.
Just when neither of them dared to imagine what was about to happen, the younger brother's hand touched one of the white leaves, he gritted his teeth, his eyes were fixed on his hand, and the tension in his heart climbed to the extreme at this moment.
However, nothing happened.
The two of them were stunned in place, and after a while, the younger brother reacted first, cheered, and then pulled out the white leaf with a strong hand, and then threw it to the brother below, and he pulled out another black leaf, put it in his mouth, and chewed it in a big mouth.
Taking the white leaf thrown by his brother, the elder brother observed it and found that the flesh of the leaf was quite fat, and it should be able to satisfy hunger, so he also put it in his mouth and chewed it heavily.
The mutation just happened.
