Chapter 1 Festival (1st Shift)
"Well, then, it's time for you to tell us about your other purpose." , After the two of them faced each other and quietly drank another cup of tea and wine, Mo slowly spoke.
Qing Ming, who was sitting opposite, was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "His Royal Highness Mo is really as wise as a torch. To be honest, I knew before that you probably wouldn't agree to my proposal. Although it is a little difficult to say, the main purpose of my invitation to you this time is indeed not this matter, but something else. ”
Now that the words have been spoken, he doesn't plan to go around the bend, but directly states his purpose: "Your Highness Mo, this time, I like to be able to get your help. Let's find out together! ”
Mo's half-closed eyes slowly opened, looking at Qingming opposite, "It seems that this matter is related to that divine tree?" ”
Although the words are interrogative, the tone is very affirmative. Since he was specially invited here, it was so tricky that it made Qingming feel like he didn't have any one. No matter how you think about it, there is only the 'divine tree' that guards the entire kingdom and has extraordinary power.
And Qingming also nodded, and continued: "Your Highness Mo, do you know the origin of this Qingqiu Divine Tree? ”
Mo shook his head, "I've only heard that it was planted by the first Qingqiu Country Lord. It has guarded the entire Qingqiu country for hundreds of thousands of years. As for the rest, I don't know much about it. ”
"Well, yes, this rumor is also the most popular rumor in the outside world. In fact, I have been here many times over the years for personal reasons. It wasn't until recently that I noticed something was wrong in my casual encounter with this country. ”
Mo raised his teacup and gestured, "I want to hear it." ”
"Actually, this matter starts with the fact that I was invited to a funeral before......"
……
…
"So, Your Highness Mo, I don't know if you are willing to help me in this matter?" After a long conversation, Qingming finally asked.
"Of course, no problem, but rather, such a fun thing. Now that I understand, how can I resist not interfering? Mo's mouth hung up in an arc slightly, and after raising his glass for a moment, he stood up, "So, when is the time for us to do it?" ”
Interesting...... Faced with Mo's statement, Qingming couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head in his heart. This kind of thing can't be said to be interesting. But since he's willing to help, that's great. Because if his guess really comes true, he alone is afraid that it will be extremely dangerous, and it can even be said that he is not sure.
"Tomorrow night, it's time for the ceremony. Just in the good way to cover up our actions. ”
"Okay, then that's it." After saying that, Mo turned around and left.
Qingming, who was left alone, stood quietly for a long time, sighed, shook his head, and turned to walk in the direction of his room.
……
The next night, Ah Li looked around at the crowd of people and exclaimed, "So many people are here to participate in this celebration?" ”
"No, Miss Ali, you misunderstood ......," Qingming on the side smiled and shook his head, "In fact, most of the crowd here are Qingqiu nationals. Only a small number of us outsiders have come here to prepare for this celebration. ”
"What is it that makes them so popular?" Huiyin glanced at the crowd around her. If it's just a simple event or something like that, these people won't have the leisure to participate.
Qingming shook his head, "This so-called 'prize' is not fixed. It's just that it is said that every time someone who can reach the top of the crown of the sacred tree within a certain period of time, they can obtain some rare treasures. In the beginning, the country of Qingqiu also attracted cultivators from the outside world to come here with this point. ”
Now, of course, it has slowly developed into a once-in-a-decade exchange meeting for practitioners.
"I see, so are you going to participate too?" , Huiyin nodded, and then glanced at Mo and Qingming on the side.
Although Qingming and Mo didn't say it explicitly, they also knew that there were only some people who could get the so-called chance treasure. If these two people also fight, with these second- and third-rate guys present, I'm afraid they won't be able to sweep them with one hand.
Qingming smiled and explained, "I'm not interested in that chance treasure or anything. But it's also good to follow the locals and experience the atmosphere of the festivities. ”
Mo said more directly, "Do you think I'd be interested in bullying a group of young children?" ”
The implication was that in his eyes, these cultivators present were nothing more than a group of immature 'young children'.
"Toddler ...... Looks like there's someone older than you. Huiyin chuckled.
"Because they are complacent at a little bit of fur, they haven't even walked a few ten-thousandths of the way, and on the path of cultivation, these guys are not young children." , Mo said lightly.
Qingming on the side could only shake his head and smile bitterly at Mo's evaluation. Most of these people who were able to know about the Land of Qingqiu and came to participate were all famous cultivators. If they hear Mo say this about them, they don't know how to feel.
Looking at Mo and Qingming, a thoughtful look flashed in Huiyin's eyes. She only listened to half of the discussion between the two last night. Later, it blocked her from continuing to snoop. Now it seems that it should be Qingming's hand. And now looking at Mo's attitude, the other thing they talked about later should be completed.
And it seems that this matter should be related to this sacred tree in front of him. Otherwise, since Yimo's character doesn't look down on this so-called celebration at all, how can he insist on participating in it.
Thinking of this, Huiyin smiled from the bottom of her heart. Anyway, no matter what the two of them planned, she cared so much about what she was doing. She will come here, firstly, she is indeed a little curious about this sacred tree, and it is good to be able to take the opportunity to visit, and secondly, it is mainly to accompany Ah Li.
"Teacher Huiyin, how will we climb this tree later?" Looking at the giant tree in front of him that was towering like a mountain peak, Ali had a bitter little face. Although I expected it at the beginning, when I actually saw it, I still felt extremely shocked and helpless. How can you climb such a 'giant tree'?
"Ah Li, look closely, what are the lines that keep going up around the trunk?" Hui Yin smiled, then pointed to the trunk of the giant tree in the distance.
"That's ......," Ali narrowed slightly, looked at it for a moment, and then finally saw the presence clinging to the trunk like a vein. Then he said with some uncertainty: "That's the ladder!?" ”
"Yes, that's the ladder we need to climb."
…… To be continued......
