Ancient trees in the fog

In the early morning, a round of red sun rises, shining on the earth, the silent woods begin to make noise, colorful birds spread their wings and begin to catch food, at the foot of the mountain, in the city of Songhai, white smoke begins to rise from the rows of chimneys, and pedestrians come and go in the peaceful streets, starting the busy day.

The golden sunlight sprinkled on the sea, flashing with bursts of golden brilliance, in the pale white mist, a huge and magnificent mirage towered in it, giving people a feeling of ethereal fairyland.

Since the transfer of the center of the Qin State, the small sage village has restored its former peace, with a melodious bell ringing, the Confucian disciples began a day of practice, in the central pavilion, Fu Nian sat on it, Yan Lu, Zhang Liang sat on both sides of the seat.

"Zifang, why don't you see Ziming and Ziyu at the corners of your mouth, where did they go?" After listening to Yan Lu, who had rushed back from Dongjun, explained the situation, Fu Nian made a decision, and Confucianism quietly joined the anti-Qin camp.

"Senior brother, Ziming, Ziyu and others are probably already in the mirage at this time." Zhang Liang didn't understand what Fu Nian meant, the senior brother who had always cared about these mundane things would actually ask the two people who hadn't been here for several days, what was going on?

"Yes, several masters of the Yin and Yang family above the mirage are among them, they can be described as thrilling when they go up to the mirage, I already know the true body of Shaoyu, the remnants of the Xiang clan have infiltrated this Qilu land many years ago, I think it is also to accumulate strength."

"Senior brother Mingjian, when the Chu State fell, many generals fled to the rivers and lakes, as one of the most powerful forces, they have been secretly looking for an opportunity to restore the country, but..."

"Yes, although he was a little ruthless, it is reasonable to sacrifice a few to save the majority for the sake of more people, and it seems that he has planned it very carefully."

"Yes, Rufeng has already calculated everything, just waiting for that opportunity."

The always calm Fu Nian couldn't help but be invigorated, "The Qin State seems to have fallen into an eventful season recently, there are strong enemies outside, the Xiongnu have begun to storm the Great Wall, and the soldiers from all over the country have begun to prepare for the battle at any time, and the undercurrent inside the court is surging, in order to support the Meng Tian faction on the Fusu side and Zhao Gao's faction who secretly support the eighteenth son Hu Hai's faction, I heard that the Qin Emperor's health is getting worse and worse, I am afraid that time is running out." ”

Zhang Liang smiled, "What the senior brother said is very true, the Dongjun farmer has already started an infighting because of Zhao Gao's secret moves. And its spearhead is directed at Fusu. ”

"Well, the last backing left by Changping Jun for Fusu is the farmer's family, and now Fusu is demoted to the army, and the farmer's family left to him is now difficult to protect itself, under the guise of getting rid of bad factors for the empire, in fact, he has got rid of a big trouble for himself, and this person will inevitably make the empire even more declining"

Zhang Liang nodded, "Zhao Gao has the net in his hands, and any disturbance in the world cannot hide from his ears and eyes, but with his power, he can only do these things behind his back, as for the person who really controls the balance, it is Xiangguo Li Si, this person's attitude is very important." ”

Fu Nian was obviously not interested in Li Si, and his tone was a little cold: "Li Si has been trying his best to show off in front of Emperor Qin, and wants to put our Confucianism to death, the ambition of this is not yet known, it is indeed a variable." ”

"By the way, from today onwards, you are solely responsible for Confucian foreign affairs, and our tens of thousands of Confucian disciples are distributed in various counties and counties of the Qin State, and their ability to collect intelligence is not bad, so they should be able to do something."

Fu Nian's words made Zhang Liang feel excited, and he hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Fu Nian, "Senior brother, the ovary understands." ”

At the same time, Tianming, Shaoyu, and Shi Lan, who had climbed the mirage, encountered their unprecedented crisis at the moment, and the three of them carefully lurked all the way on this magnificent mirage, secretly looking for Shi Lan's brother, and they were all fine in the early stage, until yesterday, after the star soul who had been recuperating from his injuries led the big young master to the mirage, the life of the three of them was quite unsmooth, first they encountered the puppet of the Yin and Yang family to chase and intercept them, fortunately, Tianming's skills were quite reliable, so they broke through, but they didn't want to get lost in this completely identical room, It's hard to leave for a while.

"What the hell is this place, why is every room the same, so many rooms have really been built, who is it for!" Tianming complained dissatisfiedly, which made Shao Yu, who was looking for a way out next to him, suddenly unhappy, "Can you kid stop complaining, now you should go to find the route with your heart, and when you go out, are you always saying okay." ”

"You..."

"Can't you two be quiet, aren't you tired of arguing all day?" As soon as Shi Lan spoke, the two of them immediately stopped fighting each other, and they began to look for it alone.

At first, it was okay, Tianming was honest, but as time went by, Tianming's hyperactivity problem was committed again, regardless of Shi Lan's reminder not to act rashly, he pushed open the door next to him, and then a courtyard appeared in front of the three of them.

"You kid, can't you be cautious?" Shaoyu looked like a big brother educating a younger brother, and began to educate his head and face, but Tianming turned around with his eyes grunting, looking at this chic scenery, how could there be such a beautiful tree on this boat.

In the courtyard filled with mist, an ancient tree stood in it, pieces of pink petals fell into the courtyard, and pieces of petals fell in a clear pond next to the tree, causing ripples, Tianming reached out and touched the trunk of the tree, feeling very substantial, not like illusion, and the dark eyes of Shilan next to him revealed a sad feeling, and a line of tears quietly fell.

"Shi Lan, you, why are you crying?" Tianming thinks it's very strange, isn't it just a tree, crying when he says it?

"Shi Lan, you..." Shao Yu glared at Tianming, who was one step ahead, and the latter shrugged helplessly, as if to say that you reacted slowly, hang me!

"I'm sorry for worrying you guys when I'm in a bad mood." Shi Lan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and gently stroked the thick trunk, "This tree was originally in our Shu Mountain, and now..."

After listening to Shi Lan's explanation, the angry Shaoyu punched the beam next to him, bringing up a lot of sawdust, "Yingzheng, this guy, you will move everything you like, it's really hateful, Shi Lan, don't worry, one day I will avenge you." ”

"Wow, what do you think that's that?" While Shaoyu was attacking Shilan, Tianming turned his attention to the side very interestingly, so he quickly discovered that there was a very special bird on this tree, and immediately shouted, attracting the attention of the two.

"It's a three-legged crow!" Shao Yu saw the legendary bird for the first time, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

"yes, if you look closely, it's really three legs." The careless Tianming baby saw clearly that the bird actually had three legs, so that Shaoyu on the side helplessly held his head and felt speechless.

"This is a three-legged golden crow, also from our Shu Mountain, and according to legend, it is a god who illuminates our lost direction." As soon as Shi Lan finished speaking, the three-legged crow that had not moved suddenly flew up and rushed towards Tianming.

"Tianming be careful..."As soon as Shao Yu's words fell, the crow turned into golden light and rushed into Tianming's body, but Tianming closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

"Tianming, Tianming, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" Shaoyu and Shi Lan hurriedly helped Tianming up and carefully examined Tianming's body, but it seemed that nothing had happened, and there was no trace.

"What's wrong with me?" Tianming opened his eyes in a daze.

"It's really strange, obviously that crow flew into your body, how could there be no trace?" Shao Yu looked at Tianming very suspiciously, and the next moment Tianming hurriedly took a few steps back, "Why are you looking at me like this!" ”

"Boy, don't you feel anything?"

Tianming scratched his head, "No..." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately screamed, and his left hand suddenly became hot, and a sun mark appeared.

"How so?" Shi Lan looked at the pattern incredulously, and her heart was full of questions, why did she choose Tianming?

"Shi Lan, what's wrong with you?" Shao Yu asked with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing, let's keep looking for a route." Shi Lan didn't explain the reason to Shaoyu, because she understood that this might be fate, and it was all providence in the dark, and the three of them had already started their own lives from the moment they met.
