The arrival of Xing Zeyuan was the best support for Luo Tian, and the fog in his heart was dispelled by the light of dawn. The talk before bed allowed him to regain his strength, and the next day, he returned to his best state of practice.

Luo Tian knew that he had to become stronger, because only his cultivation and improvement could help Xing Zeyuan and avenge the dead Mo! Now that there was a good opportunity in front of him, Luo Tian's palm, which was already holding it, tightened a little.

In the morning, before dawn, they got up. Youyou grabbed the quilt and pouted, sleeping soundly, Xing Zeyuan and Luo Tian ran with weights, and Fan Ao followed behind. Morning running was a workout they had been accustomed to for a long time, and the three of them slowly side by side, Luo Tian was not tall, so his calves were very short, and the lead block seemed to tie his legs full.

"It's been a long time since we've run together!"

Sweat fell from their foreheads, and they ran faster and faster.

"Wait a little longer, and everyone can sit together!"

"Hmm!"

Running wildly in the direction of the rising sun, the people of Wugu City were awakened by the footsteps of the early morning, and Jiang Tian and Tian stood on the high place of the palace, and the former said:

"They always bring energy to people!"

"You're in a really good state of mind. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Xiao Xuan secretly ran back this time, are you really not afraid that she will be removed?"

"Don't worry, my God, I feel like I'm still very talented as a shrine maiden. ”

The earthly ink pythons are coiled in a circle, and a pair of vertical pupils carry a spiritual wisdom far beyond that of humans.

"Hey, this kind of thing depends on the elders. ”

"She's not small, she has to make her own decisions on a lot of things, and all we can do is support. ”

What Jiang Tian said was true, but in the distant palace of the immortals, a critical meeting was being held.

The conference room is nearly circular, with columns on the side of the wall, and these stone pillars with dense layers of words are the original historical carrier.

There are ten people here, they have a red snake in their right arm and a green snake in their left arm, and they sit around a round table. The base of the round table is an ancient tree root, which is covered with moss and mushrooms.

Dressed in a tree-brown dress, she walked into the conference room, her face expressionless and ready to be punished. Xuan Xuan sat in her own position, and she could not change her face in the face of the elders, because the red shield was very important in her heart. She was the only one who felt guilty about the second elder, because the last time Jiang Xuan came back from Wugu City, she had promised him not to do this again.

Except for Jiang Xuan, the rest of the people are all old, among which the eldest elder is the oldest and has the worst temper, as soon as Jiang Xuan took a seat, she said very fiercely:

"Xuanxuan, don't you want to be a shrine maiden anymore?"

Compared to the young and beautiful Xuanxuan, the Great Elder is like a real witch. She is the oldest person in Wu Xianguo, more than 200 years old, she is habitually hunched back, with a fleshy nose and a numb face, and full of wrinkles. She had a bad temper, and never stopped talking, and at this time she gushed endlessly, saying:

"Last time, the second elder helped you speak, saying that you are young and have your own ideas for doing things, and you can't be too strict, after all, the position of a witch is boring. He assured me that you would only make a fuss once and never again. This time it's good, it's exactly the same as last time, you can make it clear to yourself, why did you sneak back to Wugu City?"

This time, the second elder couldn't speak, so he could only sit in his seat and watch the great elder reprimand him.

"Because there are people who want to meet. ”

The Great Elder was too old, and when he got angry, everyone was afraid that her body would not be able to bear it. So Xuan Xuan spoke in a very small voice, and her tone was soft. Even so, the Great Elder was furious.

"The one you want to see? you are a shrine maiden, a shrine maiden cannot have a person you want to see, your task is to take care of the immortal tree, communicate with it every day, make it grow, make it stronger. Instead of running outside every day, I have said since the first day you were a witch maiden that the shrine maiden enjoys the respect of the whole country of Wuxian, and this position is closest to the gods, it is sacred, and you must pay attention to it!

The Great Elder shouted out every word, and the other elders were afraid that Xuan Xuan would suddenly refute her, and that would be the end. Except for the second elder, the rest of the elders were all juniors compared to her.

Jiang Xuan knew that he was wrong, and said sincerely:

"Yes. ”

"I don't think you know!"

When a woman is angry, no matter how correct the truth is, the right or wrong answer depends entirely on her mood.

"If you knew, you would sneak back?huh?"

Xuan Xuan no longer explained, she pinched the corner of her skirt and said:

"Great Elder, I was wrong, don't be angry. ”

The second elder has always liked Jiang Xuan very much, and he is the one who takes the most care of Jiang Xuan among all the elders, because he feels that Jiang Xuan is polite, which is one of them. The second point is that Xuanxuan is pure enough, so that such a girl can be a good witch and achieve a high degree of resonance with the sacred tree.

Seeing that the Great Elder was soft, the Great Elder's anger slowly subsided. Her dark skin lost the angry red it had before, and the fire in her cloudy eyes gradually extinguished.

"Xuanxuan, let me tell you, Wu Xianguo was born to guard the road to heaven, the secret language and the heavenly god jade are the key to the road to heaven, and the immortal tree is the door to the road to heaven. All of this is so important that many people want to be shrine maidens because it is a supreme honor. I am the eighty-fourth generation of shrine maidens, the longest-serving shrine maiden, and in the fifty years of my tenure, I have never left the Immortal Palace for half a step, do you know what I mean?"

"Understood, Grand Elder. ”

Xuan Xuan is the eighty-ninth generation, and the period of being a witch is unstable, and when she is short of energy, she will retreat, so as to choose a new witch, she has at least ten years to stay here.

"Even if you leave, there will be countless people vying for this position, and you are not the only one with the double snake tattoo on your arm!"

These twin snake tattoos are not man-made, but made in heaven, and can only appear on people with shrine maiden qualifications.

Xuan Xuan bit her lower lip gently, she was at fault first, no matter what the Great Elder said, she would not refute it.

"Yes, Grand Elder. ”

With a sigh, the Great Elder said:

"See if you know that you are wrong, I will forgive you again, and I will not make an example!"

After the Great Elder finished speaking, he left the conference room with his cane.

Things turned a little more than expected, and she whispered:

"The Great Elder hasn't said how to punish me. ”

The second elder who secretly wiped the sweat smiled kindly, fortunately she was not serious, otherwise there would be a little girl who was Xuanxuan, when she was young, the great elder was notoriously tough.

"Most of the older people eat soft and not hard, and the same is true for the Great Elder with a strict appearance, there may be no punishment, but there can't be a next time, understand?"

"Hmm!"

Jiang Xuan nodded, and the second elder looked around and asked:

"Is there anything else the elders have anything to say?"

Three Elders:

"It's gone!"

"Then go about your business!"

The eight elders departed, and the second elder said:

"What do you think?"

"The meeting was shorter than I thought. ”

"Girl, do you know why the Great Elder chose to forgive you?"

"Why?"

After the second elder, he wanted to talk to her, all the elders' lives were boring, they only accompanied by ancient books and potted plants, and occasionally visited various cities. Only the second elder is more interesting to live every day, because he likes to communicate with young people. Every young person has a youthful sun that can bring vitality to people.

In the eyes of the second elder, who was more than a hundred years older than herself, she was a babbling child, and she didn't know much about knowledge and reason, which was why it was interesting.

"Because you arrived on time, you weren't late for the eight o'clock meeting I said earlier. ”

It didn't dawn on her that she was never late.

"Of course, that's one of the small reasons. ”

The Second Elder and Jiang Xuan sat behind the Immortal Palace, and there was a short poem inscribed on the stone tablet on the side:

The immortal tree behind the immortal palace, the immortal fruit on the immortal tree, the immortal fruit is seen in the pool, and the water in the pond sinks thousands of feet deep.

The two looked at the green immortal tree, which never faded its vitality throughout the year, and it seemed to be watered by spring rain all the time. In front of the towering trees, people always seem small.

"The Great Elder was very disciplined when he was a witch, and he didn't leave even after the death of his relatives. At that time, she felt that she was right, she thought that her relatives would forgive her, but later she regretted it, she did not forgive herself, and some people left and never saw her again. ”

The first time Jiang Xuan heard the story of the Great Elder, she hugged her knees, a little melancholy.

"Second Elder, Grandpa, does the Great Elder do this because he doesn't want me to leave regrets?"

"Well, she doesn't want you to miss something you shouldn't miss, so don't blame her for her bad temper. ”

"It's me who did something wrong, and I never blame the Great Elder. ”

"That's good, I've heard that only lonely people sit like this. ”

The second elder noticed the sitting posture of Xuan Xuan, she stretched her long legs, and there was a hint of confusion in her bright eyes.

"There was a little bit of loneliness. ”

"Your youth will be dedicated to this immortal tree, before that, did you love the boy?"

Speaking of this topic, Xuan Xuan's little face flushed.

"Second Elder, how did you talk about this topic?"

"I am from the same age as him, and she has never loved anyone, so she is lonely and empty, only this sacred tree, and the whole country. ”

"It feels like the Great Elder is great. ”

Children always talk so cutely, the second elder did not answer. The undead tree has an intangible charm that gives extreme quietness. When you look at it, it seems that life becomes irrelevant, and you just need to enjoy the quiet time that passes.

"Xuanxuan, have you borrowed the power of the Immortal Tree?"

"Yes, eight days ago!"

"Did you ask for that power?"

"No, I just wanted to do one thing, but the strength was not enough, so the immortal tree gave me strength. What's wrong, grandpa?"

"It's nothing, it's just a whim!"

The Second Elder was actually lying, and he had wanted to ask this question for a long time. It is very difficult to borrow the power of the immortal tree, few witches in the past can do it, but this little girl next to her has done it, is it just like the Great Elder said, the Xuan Xuan Society is the strongest witch in the past generations?

What interesting thing will happen when she comes to take care of the immortal tree?

"Is it because of the red shield that I went back to Wugu City this time?"

"Mmmmmmmm ”

"What kind of person is the Red Shield Leader?"

The second elder began to inquire daily, he was not young, but his heart was young, and he wanted to know everything.

"A brave and gentle man!"

"He's a man, isn't he? How do you use the word gentle?"

"Because he is very good at taking care of people, he never pushes others, his character is not prominent in the crowd, he is not extreme to one end, he is not particularly silent, he is not particularly impulsive, he is not particularly wise. ”

"Can I understand him as a perfect man?"

"Almost. ”

The bright eyes seemed to be smiling, and when it came to Xing Zeyuan, she couldn't wait to share him with others, because in her heart Xing Zeyuan was perfect, she couldn't help but help him shape his image, and he was happy when she mentioned him.

"He is very steady, easy-going, often accommodating to everyone, and many times ignoring himself. Everyone likes him very much and treats him like a relative. When I first met him, I misunderstood him for some reason, and I wronged the other people of Red Shield, so he was very angry, saying that as a regiment leader, you can scold him, but you can't scold his members in front of him. ”

At first, the acquaintance began with a misunderstanding, and later, their unrelated destinies became intertwined.

The second elder looked at the swirling eyes and looked at her and smiled, it was really as vibrant as the immortal tree, and as clear as the Daxing Lake.
