35. Trouble
When Tang Songluo's voice sounded from under the tree, Ah Zhan was startled, and she felt that her hands trembled, and she almost fell from the tree without grasping the branches.
After she came to her senses, she looked down, but saw Tang Songluo standing under a tree with a black face, and an old monk in a red robe stood beside him.
"This ......" Ah Zhan was speechless, after all, it is not a glorious thing for a girl to climb a tree, although he begged Ye Xinche, but at this time, seeing Tang Song Luo's somewhat angry expression, Ah Zhan also felt that there seemed to be something wrong.
"IβI just want to pick ......," Aryan replied in a slurring voice.
"What are you picking?" Tang Songluo's cold and hard tone interrupted Ah Zhan's words.
Ah Zhan was just blinking an eye, and was dragged down from the tree by Tang Songluo. He stiffly broke open the palm that Ah Zhan was holding, and the two thin leaves inside had been soaked with sweat, becoming soft and fragile.
"Do you know what this is?!" Tang Songluo looked extremely angry, his voice completely lost the peace and gentleness of his past, only anger remained. "Who gave you permission to climb a tree to pick it?!"
"That...... Master Tang ......, "Duranke wanted to open his mouth to intercede for Ah Zhan, but as soon as he spoke, he was rudely interrupted by Tang Songluo.
"Shut up!" Tang Songluo turned his head and said this fiercely to Duranke, and then asked Ah Zhan: "Do you know what you did?!"
Ah Zhan looked at Tang Songluo blankly, she didn't know why Tang Songluo was so angry, and she just wanted to fold a pair of twin leaves.
Ah Zhan's eyes were full of tears, and these crystalline liquids trembled in her eyes, but they refused to drip no matter what. Ah Zhan bit her lower lip, but finally didn't speak.
At this moment, the red-robed monk standing beside Tang Song Luo suddenly spoke.
"Master Tang doesn't have to be so angry, I don't think this girl did it on purpose. The red-robed monk's voice was low, but it sounded quiet and peaceful.
He looked at Ah Zhan quietly with his eyes hidden under his long white eyebrows, and then looked at Tang Song Luo, and said with a smile: "But Lord Tang, can this girl go with the poor monk? After all, the twin trees were destroyed, and the poor monk also needs to have an explanation." β
The red-robed monk's words startled Ah Zhan.
What? The twin trees were destroyed, what did they do?
The tears in Ah Zhan's eyes were instantly frightened, and she looked at the monk and then at Tang Songluo, who was protecting her tightly behind her, and became more and more worried.
"Master Wuxuan, those who don't know are not guilty, they all blame Tang for not being strict in discipline, and Tang is still responsible for this matter. Tang Songluo, who had previously reprimanded Ah Zhan, protected Ah Zhan at this time, he stood in front of Ah Zhan, his tone was polite, but he had the momentum of never giving in.
Master Wufu just shook his head, and he said, "Everything has a reward for cause and effect, and Master Tang must also understand. β
Although it was only a simple sentence, the monk's meaning was clear: Azhan had to pay for the broken tree!
Tang Songluo frowned, and when he wanted to say something, he felt something tugging at his sleeve. He turned around, only to see a solemn expression on his face.
"That...... Master Wufu just asked me to go with me, not to die, what are you afraid of. Ah Yan bit her lower lip and continued, "I'll just go." Also, this one is for you. β
After Ah Zhan finished speaking, he stuffed something into Tang Song Luo's hand and followed Master Wuyu away.
Tang Songluo spread out his palm, and he saw that there was a dark red in his palm, which was the small twin leaves.
Ah Chan followed behind Master Wufu.
To be honest, she was very apprehensive. Because she didn't know what she was going to face.
In the evening, the mountain temple is cold and cold, and the wind blows up the leaves all over the place, making a rattling sound. There were no voices in the monastery, only the silent burning of lights.
"That...... Master Wu Yu ......" In silence, Ah Zhan finally spoke. "What the hell did Iβwhat did I do wrong?"
Master Wufu heard Ah Zhan's question and stopped and turned around. The master, who always gave people a kind feeling, looked at Azhan and then spoke.
"It can't be said that we did anything wrong, it's just that the cause and effect are here. The master said.
It turns out that the so-called twin trees are not real trees. Although it has the form of a tree, it has no roots. The survival of the twin tree is closely related to its leaves. It relies on the leaf to inhale sea air and exhale it through another leaf. It is because of this cycle that the twin trees produce two identical leaves.
Every time the leaves are in autumn, people come to pick the leaves of the twin trees. This is also a necessary cultivation for the twin trees. When only a pair of leaves are left in the whole tree, they continue to work hard to reproduce the tree and continue to become a towering tree in the next year.
It means a kind of rebirth.
However, Azhan plucked the last pair of leaves of the twin trees, which means that the twin trees have lost the opportunity to be reincarnated and are unable to return to heaven.
After listening to Master Wuyu's narration, Ah Zhan only felt a chill behind him.
You must know that this is the meaning of the existence of the whole city, and if anyone knows that they destroyed this tree, then I am afraid that they will not even know how they died.
Thinking of this, Ah Zhan couldn't help but shudder.
"But you don't have to mind. My master once told me that there was going to be a catastrophe for the twin trees. I'm afraid it's you. However, he also said that there will be a turnaround in this matter. The two of them walked to a door, and Master Wu suddenly said this.
"You mean the Twin Trees are still saved?!" asked, her eyes wide.
"Yes. Master Wufu clasped his hands together, then raised his head and looked at the dark sky. "The ancestor predicted that the twin trees would be doomed, and I am afraid that this will also be a catastrophe for you. You can only get through it if you work your own. β
"Robbery?" Ah Zhan looked at the master in front of him, and finally made up his mind.
"Master, tell me, since I did something wrong, then I'll take care of it. Let me know what needs to be done. Ah Chan said.
The master looked at the determined girl in front of him lovingly and nodded.
He reached out and pushed open the closed door in front of him.
The inside of the door was pitch black, and Ah Zhan seemed to smell an ancient smell of decay coming from the door.
The originally kind and calm Master Wufu suddenly showed a sense of awe, and Ah Zhan looked at him and bowed three times to the door, as if there was something extremely noble inside.
Ah Zhan didn't know what he should do, so he had to learn from the example of a master of innocence and bow three times to the gourd painting inside the door.
At this time, Master Wu turned around. The aura of awe that emanated from his body made Ah Zhan a little overwhelmed.
"Do you feel anything?" asked Master Wuxuan.
Ah Zhan looked at Master Wuxuan, but felt a little weak. But she shook her head and said, "No." β
Master Wufu glanced at Ah Zhan again, and then he folded his hands again, and sighed: "It seems that you have to do this matter." β
"Please come with me. After the Master of Innocence finished speaking, he turned and walked into the dark room.
