"Really, everyone is an elf who has lived until now by cultivation, where can there be any distinction between high and low!" I huffed home the way I had gone, complaining nonchalantly as I stepped back on the mountain path.

The people in this world are really strange, not only the people in the world are strange, but even the spirits and monsters in the world, gods and demons are so strange, obviously everyone is the same, in the past for a long time when I couldn't even remember the time, we didn't even have a human form, and we all got together to talk and joke and make fun, where to divide what is high and low, but after so much time, everyone has obviously changed from a different look to the same look, but you dislike me and dislike you.

Could this be the one that the people outside the mountains who were originally human were saying, "Well, how do you say that?" ”

I suddenly couldn't remember what that sentence was said, so I stopped and stood there in a daze, unable to remember even if I tried my best.

"You girl! If you don't go home, you run around outside, and be careful that the beast eats it. "The old man of the land suddenly appeared from behind me, and he scared me a lot, he stroked his long white beard, and he did not feel the slightest guilt for scaring me, but found it funny." I'm scared every time, and my reaction is different every time, so you're really cowardly. ”

The old man of the land is much older than me.

Before I had any impression of the world, when it was chaos, he was there.

I was the first person I knew in the world.

"Where?!" I crossed my hands on my hips and puffed up my chest against my guts, "I'm very bold so I won't be scared." ”

The old man laughed and stopped laughing at me, but when he saw me coming back alone, he knocked on my look again, and he asked cautiously, "What, this time you accompanied the phoenix to the sky and drove you back by yourself?" ”

The phoenix he said was my good sister. It is a rare spiritual creature in this world, and we have lived together in Shaoshan for more than 200 years.

And this time, it is a feast in the heavens once every forty years, and it will give invitations to thousands of elves who have cultivated in the heavens and on the earth, and those who can participate in the feast in the heavenly realm are all recognized by the tens of millions of gods, demons, and spirits in the world as their cultivation qualifications. One hundred and twenty years ago, when I was able to take on a human form, I begged the phoenix to take me to the heavens, to know what the celestial realm that everyone worshipped was like.

As a cultivating elf, there is no more important thing than being recognized as having his own identity.

Unfortunately, one hundred and twenty years ago, eighty years ago, forty years ago, and today, I was denied an invitation.

Those who can participate in the feast are said to be called high elves such as unicorns, dragons, mermaids, spirit foxes, and phoenixes. I had a fight outside the feast with the weirdos who were guarding the gates of the Celestial Realm, and I was blasted out.

But I was ridiculed for a long time, laughing at me for being just a tree spirit with a little cultivation, how can I compare with the ancient spirit things.

"Hmph," I looked at my husband staring at me, there was a burst of fire burning on his face, naturally he couldn't hang it, snorted coldly, and pretended not to care, "I don't care, admit it or not, I have lived for so long, who rarely they admit it, don't admit that I also have a human form, I don't care." ”

yes, if only you could really not care.

I am really just a tree, a sycamore tree.

It's just a little longer than the rabbits, wild cats, jackals, etc. that run on the mountain. Their lifespan is often only a short period of more than ten years, and they are about to die before they have time to cultivate and become refined.

But I also have things I care about.

Whether it's a rabbit, a wild cat, or even a jackal, I have families, but I was born with only myself.

If I am not recognized as qualified to live in this world, then who cares about living or dying, I may not know that there is such a guy as me in the world.

"Alas, the people above are like this, looking down on us inferior spirits." The old man of the land is naturally very touched. "Don't worry, one day, you'll let them beg you to go, my husband promises you."

"Hmm!"

The phoenix participates in the feast, and often it takes a month or two to go.

"I don't know, how is she doing now," I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I turned into a human form and played in this mountain, hanging on other trees and dangling the swing, "Envy, I'm so envious." ”

Suddenly, I stopped.

What's going on?!

I pricked up my ears to listen, there was really a different movement in the mountains.

"Has anyone gone into the mountains? It's dangerous to break into the mountains at night like this. I knew that no one would answer me, but I still said to myself, listening carefully, "Oh? Is there only one person? ”

Apparently, there were other guys in the mountain who had heard this man entering the mountain and were one step ahead of me, and they were ready to attack him.

"No, you can't let those guys eat him." There have been before, human beings accidentally entered the mountains and were attacked by wild beasts and lost their lives, and then human beings were very angry, thinking that the wild beasts in the mountains were their biggest threat, and many people came that time, carrying torches into the mountains to slaughter, hunting all the animals that threatened their lives, not only jackals, tigers, bears, those people went into the mountains and went on a killing spree, hunting all the animals in the mountains, and many of my friends were killed at that time.

If the jackal eats this person again, then won't someone go into the mountains to slaughter him?

No, we can't let that happen anymore.

I got up and ran towards the place where I had just heard the man's movements, and I had to be in time, I had to be in time.

I'm so tired. My legs are so weak that I can't run.

I gritted my teeth and finally ran to the place where I heard the movement, a young man dressed in white, holding a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, confronting these wild wolves that surrounded him, his sword eyebrows were high, and his eyes were as bright as the starry sky in the middle of the night, but they were not like the darkness of the eternal night, and they did not look like the color with the slightest impurity, what color was it? The firelight reflected in his eyes, shaking, shaking, and he frowned, for fear of being attacked by these wild wolves.

My sudden intrusion broke the stalemate, and the wolf's attention shifted from him to me.

I hear them talking.

"It's the sycamore spirit from the back mountain."

"She's with Phoenix."

“……”

Behind the boy, a horse that had been bitten on the ankle was lying on its knees with blood dripping from its ankle.

"Girl, be careful." The boy let out a loud shout and managed to draw attention to the wolf staring at me, he moved lightly twice, and the wolf prostrate again, provoking their fight because of his defense**.

This man is so strange, why did he deliberately provoke these wild wolves?

However, he glanced at me, and then glanced out.

What do you mean? Confused and confused, he looked at me again, glanced out again, and then quickly looked at the wolves around him, guarding carefully. I still don't understand why he looked at me and left it out.

Why is that.

It's so strange that I scratched my head and thought about it, but I couldn't figure it out. But I could feel that he was getting more and more anxious.

"Come on, here! Come on! The wolf is going to attack people! Here and here! I thought he was scared, and that he was about to lose his hand, and I didn't care what he meant, so I turned my head and shouted at the place where I had trotted all the way.

"What, who's coming." The wolf in the lead listened carefully.

There was wind in the mountains, and the leaves rattled, and the sound of animals running around in the mountains, as if someone was really following me, and the wolves watched the mountains around vigilantly.

"What to do." The other wolves panicked.

They, as well as the other beasts, have signed peace agreements with other animals in Shaoshan under the auspices of the Phoenix, promising that they will never take the initiative to attack people, and will not let their actions cause humans to slaughter other animals in the mountains, otherwise, the Phoenix will drive them out of Shaoshan.

Now, they may be accustomed to eating rabbits and pheasants in the mountains, and they have hit the idea of this teenager who broke into the mountains.

"Let's go, we can't beat Phoenix." The wolves were afraid of the phoenix, and the wild wolf led by me glared at me fiercely and ran away with the wolves.

"Alright, it's okay." I smiled at the young man, hoping that the unpleasantness of tonight would not bring him any bad memories, and that he would not bring back to their world the threat of the animals in the mountains, we had lived in the mountains for a long time, and we really didn't want to implicate other creatures in the mountains because of the conflict between wild beasts and humans.

And these weak creatures not only never threatened human life, but also needed to be protected.

He still stood there, relieved, but the hand that clenched the long sword did not relax for a moment, and the frowning brow just now stretched slightly, but he was still careful to guard against it.

"But, judging by your appearance, I guess you won't be able to get out of the mountain now." I looked at his wounded horse and said with some concern.

There were still three or four hours before dawn, and in the case of Cheng Dù, who had been injured on that horse, it was impossible to take him out of the mountain now. And as far as the young man's own footsteps are concerned, it is even more impossible to get out of the mountain before dawn, and even if he goes down the mountain, it will take three or four days to return to the place where there are human beings.

"There's no way, then you come with me, let your horse heal the ankle injury first, and wait until dawn to make plans." I walked over and leaned over to examine the wound on the horse's leg, the wound was deep, I stroked its mane, and it looked painful. I said to it, "Thank you, don't be afraid, it's fine." Can you try to stand up, where I live is not too far from here, don't move this injured foot, let's walk over slowly, okay. ”

It closed its eyes and understood what I was saying.

I took two steps back, fighting side by side with the young man, only to notice that he had been watching me.

The horse staggered, stood up sharply, lifted the wounded hind legs, and moved slowly.

"Well done." I touched it, then turned back to the boy and said, "It's right ahead, come with me." ”

"Do you live in the mountains?" We walked slowly, the horses trying not to move to their injured ankles, and step by step, we walked towards the place where the phoenix lived, where the beasts of the mountains were afraid of the phoenix, and at least they would not be threatened by other beasts.

"Hmm." I nodded and said to him, "I was born in the mountains." ”

The young man nodded as if he didn't understand, "What about your parents?" Is it also in the mountains? ”

Parents? Why do you ask my parents? It is true that the animals in the mountains have parents and families, but he asked my parents, "Do I have parents too?" I shook my head, wondering if it was because everyone had parents. "I don't."

He stopped talking and was quiet for a while.

"Then you, do you have parents too?" I'm just very confused, I'm the same as all the other flowers and plants in this mountain, we were born without family, but I am conscious, they are not conscious.

He heard my question, turned his head sideways, as if hesitating, then nodded and told me. "And who do you live with in this mountain? If you don't have a family, it's ......."

What is it? He didn't go on.

But I'm not alone, but I can't sue him, there is a phoenix in this mountain. Phoenix said that humans can't be allowed to know her whereabouts, otherwise humans will search the mountains to find her, which will bring unnecessary trouble to the creatures in the mountains. "The flowers and plants in this mountain, and the animals, are all my friends, and we have lived together for a long time."

Hearing my words, he was shocked for a moment, and then suddenly disappeared again. I didn't see that he had been surprised just now, maybe I was too short to live, and I didn't know as much as the old man of the land and the phoenix, and I didn't understand what was hidden behind his eyes.

He's not the first person I've ever met, but he's like someone I've ever met.

However, he is very good-looking.

Much better looking than anyone I've ever seen.

Walking to where Phoenix lived, I stopped. Pointing to a cave next to the place where I grew up, I said, "This is where you can live temporarily." ”

He answered me and nodded, I just thought he looked at me weirdly.

I didn't have time to think about it, I took him to the cave, and when I lived in the mountains in the form of a human, Phoenix and I both lived here, and Phoenix was more accustomed to this kind of life than me, she didn't like to be noticed, and she was worried about exposing herself and causing trouble to the other animals in the mountain.

Sometimes I sympathize with her, after all, she is not like me, she can rest in the place she likes and be her own as she is.

When I entered the cave, I finally had a temporary place to take refuge, and it was safe for the time being.

"You can rest here, I'll get some water and herbs to treat your horse's wounds." Phoenix won't be able to come back for a while, and he can stay here until the horse recovers from his injuries before leaving.

He watched his surroundings very cautiously, and there were inevitably scattered branches and phoenix feathers scattered in the cave. He stooped down and picked up some branches, made a ball in the cave, and lit it with a torch, which lit up the cave and brought some warmth.

I wasn't very comfortable with fire, so I instinctively took a few steps back, away from the fire, ready to go out and look for something.

"My name is Yuan Jue, what's your name?" He asked before I turned around.

Yuan Jue...... I silently read his name in my heart, and then told him, "I don't have a name." ”
