Lu Chengkong is just in his early twenties this year, his skin is fair, and his appearance is quite handsome. Although www.biquge.info is an adolescent with strong hormone secretion, he still does not have a girlfriend and is still alone. It's not that he is conservative, but in his bones, he always feels that there is a right person waiting for him. It's just that he can afford to wait, but others can't afford it. Over the years, many girls who have a crush on him have fallen into the arms of flowers and sweet words. Seeing all this, Lu Chengkong also had to beat his chest and regret: "I'm in my early twenties, why do I still have these unrealistic fantasies?" ”

In the four years of college, he, an idler, lived a life of three points and one line: dormitory, classroom, and canteen.

At noon, Lu Chengkong had lunch and walked towards the dormitory alone.

If there is one of the best things about the university, it is the beautiful scenery. All things are living beings, especially flowers and trees. No matter how rotten the society of this era is, the university campus can still be regarded as the last pure land that has not been touched by the world.

The last piece of pure land is not easy to come by, and all things can be nourished.

Lu Chengkong had no intention of enjoying the scenery on the side of the road, he stepped on the shade of the trees, listened to the birds, smelled the faint fragrance of unknown flowers, and walked slowly towards the bedroom.

"This son, please stay." There were few pedestrians on this road, and a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Childe?" When Lu Chengkong heard these two words, he laughed inexplicably. In today's technologically advanced society, there are still people who use this rustic word?

"I wonder why Childe is laughing?"

Only then did Lu Chengkong stop, raised his head and followed the sound. I saw a man of about sixty standing on the side of the road with his hands in his hands, looking at himself with a smile. If you want to talk about the peculiarity of this person, not only the tone is crepe, but the appearance also seems to be a little weird, the beard is slightly long, the clothes are slightly loose, and the body is slightly thin.

It's like a type of person in society: liars.

Lu Chengkong grew up in the 21st century, and he must have been influenced by materialism to be admitted to university. He has been taught since he was a child that the ancients are feudal superstitions in the face of modern science. As for what traditional culture is, in Lu Chengkong's impression, there are only the names of the books "I Ching", "Analects", and "Tao Te Ching", and as for the content, I don't know anything. After all, if you don't take the college entrance examination, why waste time? Except for textbooks, they are all idle books. And these idle books are boring and esoteric, and Lu Chengkong is naturally not interested.

I didn't expect to hear a dialogue similar to that of the ancients in real life today, Lu Chengkong raised his head and looked at this person carefully, although his face was already covered with wind and frost, but the look of his eyes was extremely bright. It has been determined in my heart that this person is definitely a god who pretends to be a ghost. But in this era, it's really not easy to make money, so why bother to debunk others? Lu Chengkong wanted to speak and stopped, but he shook his head helplessly, and was about to turn around and leave.

Just when Lu Chengkong didn't take two steps, he heard this person say again: "This road is full of dangers, Lu Gongzi, are you ready?" ”

"Sure enough, it's the same set again." Lu Chengkong stopped again, knowing that the methods of these charlatans and scammers to cheat people out of money are nothing more than to say a frightening word first, and then they can help you relieve the disaster and make a living by cheating money. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "It's really stupid, these little tricks are okay to deceive those elderly people." On a university campus, how can anyone who has not studied science and culture for twenty years be fooled? ”

"Uncle, do you know where this is?" Lu Chengkong had a slight smile on his face, and without waiting for the man to speak, he continued: "This is a university campus, and your feudal superstitions won't work here." ”

The man was not angry, but still did not hurry or slow down: "You, do you really want to move forward?" ”

Lu Chengkong saw that this person's face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he secretly said in his heart: "This liar, where does he get the confidence to deceive me, a genuine college student?" But he was also a little curious, wanting to see his ghost tricks, his face was put away with contempt, and he asked seriously: "Uncle, then tell me, why can't I go on this road?" ”

The man laughed twice, touched his sparse but flowing beard, his eyes lit up, and said, "This road, don't turn back." Where did you come from, and where did you go back. ”

"Where did you come from, and where are you going?" Lu Chengkong originally thought how profound his tricks were, but when he heard this, he couldn't help sighing, and said seriously: "Uncle, you are also old, why do you have to make a living by deceiving people?" I also know where this road came from and where I am going, you can look at ......" said, Lu Chengkong raised his hand and pointed to the end of the road, and said: "That is my dormitory, I came from the dormitory today, now after class, after eating, where can I go if I don't go back to the dormitory?" You're right, and you're right. ”

Lu Chengkong saw that this person was pierced by himself in front of him, and his face was still as steady as Mount Tai, without a panicked look, he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful, and then said: "Before deceiving people next time, I have to put more thought into it." ”

"It seems that you have made up your mind." The man took a deep breath and stared ahead, as if to say to himself, "Remember, this road is full of difficulties and dangers, and it is still too late to turn back." ”

Lu Chengkong didn't want to waste time on a liar anymore, so he turned around and left.

It's just strange to say, this road is the road back to the dormitory, and it is after noon, if it is in the past, there are many pedestrians. But Lu Chengkong hadn't walked far before he realized that something was wrong, and he didn't see a single figure!

"This ...... This ......" Lu Chengkong looked left and right for a while, but he still couldn't see anyone.

What the hell in broad daylight?!

Lu Chengkong remembered the words of the man just now, and looked back sharply, but where was the shadow of that person?

didn't have time to think about it, Lu Chengkong's back was numb, and he ran forward with his legs, and said secretly in his heart: "I have to run back immediately...... There must be someone in the dormitory! ”

After running about two or three hundred meters, he came to the foot of a towering tree. Looking around, it's back to normal. People come and go, bustling and noisy.

Lu Chengkong gasped in his mouth, patted his chest, and laughed at himself: "Why am I suspicious today?" ”

In this university, there is a thousand-year-old tree. According to one expert, he deduced from certain historical information based on certain details that the lifespan of this ancient tree can be traced back to at least 2,000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty.

In the middle of summer, on weekdays, Lu Chengkong often sits under a tree to enjoy the shade. At this time, he was covered in a hot sweat and couldn't help but walk over. When I got closer, I saw a cordon around the tree, and a notice was posted next to it, saying that the ancient tree was hollow, and there would be a storm tonight, and the ancient tree was at risk of collapsing.

And the cordon set up around just blocked Lu Chengkong's way back to the bedroom.

"It turns out that the difficulties he said are full of difficulties, and it is this cordon." Seeing that everything was as usual, Lu Chengkong untied the knot in his heart, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. I thought to myself: "That liar must have known that there was a cordon here, and deliberately pretended to be a ghost." ”

At this time, the scorching sun is over.

Lu Chengkong trotted for a while, his whole body was already wet with stinky sweat, and then he was baked by the scorching sun, only to feel that the skin of his whole body was already hot and stinging. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart: "A thousand-year-old tree, where can it fall so easily?" Anyway, there will be no storm now, so let's go under the tree and enjoy the shade first. So he raised his hand and lifted the cordon and came to the shade of the tree.

The ancient trees have leafy branches and thick trunks. There was a clearing under the tree, and there was a stone bench in the clearing. In the past, Lu Chengkong likes to sit on the stone bench to enjoy the coolness. At this moment, he walked over and sat down, only to feel that the world was cool. Even the hot summer wind, after blowing through the branches and leaves of ancient trees, and then blowing on people, is indescribably cool. Such a feeling is far better than blowing air conditioning.

Lu Chengkong rested for a while, and after sweating, he found something even stranger. Because of the cordon, he was the only one on the stone bench. Outside the shade of the trees, people come and go, and everything is as usual.

However, in Lu Chengkong's ears, the world suddenly became silent. The sound of pedestrians walking, talking and laughing, and the sound of cars...... I can't hear it.

"Impossible...... No way! Why can't I hear the world? Lu Chengkong's first reaction was that there was something wrong with his ears. He rubbed his ears vigorously, still so. He whispered "Hey" again, but he could hear himself.

"Bang bang......" Lu Chengkong's heartbeat was unusually clear.

"I ...... This! Lu Chengkong hurriedly stood up, and as soon as he took a step, he stepped on a dead branch. The crisp cracking sound of dead branches filled the whole world.

"I can hear the sound under the tree, but I can't hear the sound outside the tree!" In Lu Chengkong's eyes, the world outside the shade of the trees seems to have become a silent movie.

It is to see things moving, not to hear the sound of things.

It would be a coincidence to say that I couldn't see a figure just now. The current vision was enough to hit Lu Chengkong's heart.

Lu Chengkong already had goosebumps all over his body, and the hot wind under the scorching sun was blowing on his body, and it was already a chill.

"I ...... I can't panic! Lu Chengkong took two deep breaths and calmed down. After all, he grew up learning materialism, and he firmly believed that there must be no ghosts and gods in the world, and everything could be explained by science.

The most important thing at the moment is to find out the reason for all this, the "liar...... That person must be a liar, this must be a trick of a liar! Lu Chengkong kept persuading himself in his heart, but he also knew that he was just an ordinary person and had nothing to offer. Even if it is really a suspicious array deliberately laid by a liar, what a big formation is needed!

After calming down, Lu Chengkong raised his hand and pressed his chest, staring closely at a person walking not far away, and at the same time, walked slowly towards the shade of the tree.

Not far away came a young woman with a ponytail, she saw Lu Chengkong staring at herself in the distance, first her face turned red, and then, she glanced at him whitely, she didn't know what to scold in her mouth, and bowed her head and walked away quickly.

"She can see me." Lu Chengkong's hanging heart was half relaxed. It doesn't matter if you can't hear the sound, as long as the other person can see you, it's okay. He lowered his head and walked to the edge of the shade.

The branches and foliage of the towering ancient trees shade the scorching sun and have clear boundaries on the ground.

Lu Chengkong pricked up his ears, raised his feet, and carefully stepped out of the shade.

As soon as the feet hit the ground, the world returned to normal, and there was a lot of noise.

He slowly withdrew his feet and retreated into the shade of the tree, and there was dead silence again.

I tried three or four more times and it was still the same.

The problem lies in this ancient tree!

Although Lu Chengkong found out the strange reason, with what he had learned in the past twenty years, he couldn't explain all this at all. People's first reaction to the unknown is fear. Lu Chengkong was no exception, and after taking a deep breath, he strode out of the shade of the tree, just wanting to escape to a crowded place.

But before he could take two steps, he stopped again. He stood in the noise of people coming and going, looking around at the people who were laughing, distressed, hurried, proud, or depressed, and at this moment, he missed the tranquility of the moment just now.

This kind of tranquility can make people forget everything in the world.

Lu Chengkong turned around, stared at the ancient tree, was stunned for a while, and walked over.

"Is this a paradise?" Sitting on the stone bench, watching the pedestrians coming and going, blowing the cool breeze, it is indescribably quiet. At this moment, Lu Chengkong was not afraid. After a while, he stood up, went to the bottom of the tree, looked at it carefully, and wondered, "What the hell is going on?" As he thought, he reached out and stroked the rough lines of the ancient tree. As soon as my hand touched the tree, I felt a coolness spread through my fingertips throughout my body. Suddenly, the whole person calmed down.

Suddenly, there were several guqin sounds in my ears.

Lu Chengkong listened carefully, and the sound of the piano was intermittent, as if it came from the ancient tree. Listening to the sound of the piano, he froze for a moment, and his chest shook violently...... Just for a moment, and then it was calm again. He pressed his hand to his chest, as if he had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, heard the call, and was gradually waking up.

"Is this another hallucination?" Lu Chengkong took two steps back and walked around the ancient tree twice. "There's a path." At this time, I saw a huge crack under the ancient tree. Looking inside, it was pitch black, and the smell of cold, wet earth came to my face.

Lu Chengkong took out his mobile phone, turned on the light and shone inside. The crack is big enough for one person to pass through, and the inside is bottomless, but there is a gentle path that leads to nowhere.

Standing in the crack, the sound of the piano gradually became clear.

Lu Chengkong has been able to determine that the source of the sound of the piano is here. The more clearly he listened, the more he felt a sense of déjà vu, as if someone was pouring out the words in his heart to himself with the sound of the piano.

Although I don't know the name of the song, I can't explain all this. But Lu Chengkong no longer had a trace of fear, and his heart was unusually steady.

The strings moved, and so did his heart.

In the whole world, only the pale sound of the piano remains.

At this moment, Lu Chengkong only felt an inexplicable force rushing out of his heart, allowing him to walk in without hesitation. It's as if there is something important in the tree that will make him understand what life is for.

With the light of his mobile phone, Lu Chengkong stepped into the trail.
