When Yu Yuanshuang sacrificed, Yu Xiangdi, who was dozens of miles away, was walking on the mountain road, and for a moment, he seemed to sense something, his body trembled slightly, and then, he stopped, turned his face sideways, frowned, and felt the subtle flow of air with his heart.

Walking behind Yu Xiangdi was Chen Shuqing, who saw Yu Xiangdi stop abruptly and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Yu Xiangdi saw that Chen Shuqing was in the way, and said apologetically: "Ah, Miss Shuqing, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly felt that something important seemed to be leaving me just now, but I couldn't say why...... I'm sorry, but since I mastered the ability to perceive wind words, I've often become very sensitive, so I hope it's my delusion. ”

Chen Shuqing teased: "Well, it seems that this is the so-called 'although I can't see with my naked eye, but my heart's eyes are extremely clear'." ”

"Hahaha, don't wash me, let's go......" Yu Xiangdi smiled awkwardly and continued to walk forward.

In front of Yu Yuanshuang, there are two people, Xi Lang and Sun Xiaoshu, this team of purification messengers and three monsters, at this moment is walking on the mountain stream trail ten miles away from Zhupao Mountain, this place is located in Chai Peng Village on the east bank of Poyang Lake, the area is full of fir trees, lush but uninhabited, and the whistling of birds sounds from time to time.

At this time, Chen Shuqing, Sun Xiaoshu and Yu Xiangdi were also wearing armor like crocodile skin, and the scales and bulges on the armor were densely covered, which was exactly what Martha said before. After the three of them put it on, they automatically turned into crocodiles when they entered the water, and they could breathe in the water, which allowed them to leave Zhupao Mountain smoothly and swim through the vast waters of Poyang Lake to go ashore. Of course, once ashore, the two will return to their original state.

Today, the reason why the three of them came here with Xilang was not for an outing, but at the request of Xilang, the three of them came with him to explore a mysterious tree.

After about a cup of tea, Xilang stopped and said, "Here we are, this is it." ”

On the right side of the road, a towering tree appeared, which was more than twenty or thirty zhang high, in sharp contrast to the dwarf fir forest.

Xilang moved to the bottom of the tree, patted the trunk and said, "You see, this is the strange tree I am talking about, I used to come here occasionally when I was a child, but I remember that there was no such tree at that time. About a year or two ago, for some reason, there was such a big tree. ”

Chen Shuqing also stepped forward when she heard this, touched the trunk of the tree, and sighed: "Look at this stoutness, let alone the four of us, I'm afraid that the four of us won't be able to wrap it up hand in hand." If it weren't for a hundred years, no tree would have grown like this, and besides, judging by its height, it was not something that should have been in the local area, and it was probably deliberately done by someone. ”

Xi Lang nodded and said, "This is the anomaly around Poyang Lake that I said before. Sister Shuqing, we are the monsters in the lake, we have shallow knowledge, and you have traveled from south to north and have seen a lot of knowledge, so I specially took you to take a look, I want to find out what kind of tree it is, and why it appears here, I hope to give me some pointers. ”

Chen Shuqing smiled slightly and said, "Aren't your Elder Pero and Lady Martha aware of it?" ”

Xilang said: "They don't know about the existence of this tree, in fact, if it is not an extremely important matter, the elder and the old grandmother do not like the clansmen to set foot on land easily. Most of the time, I secretly went ashore to explore, and even if I found the tree, as long as I was not sure that it would bring us disaster, I had absolutely no need to report it to them, lest I be scolded. ”

Chen Shuqing nodded and said, "It seems that you are really an adventurous child, but just by looking under the tree, I can only feel that he is tall and stout, and I can't say anything else." Do you have any other information you can add? ”

"Well, as I said before, in the past, although Poyang Lake was big and small, it was a natural change in the water level in the long river of history, however, since the appearance of this big tree, the water level of Poyang Lake has dropped extremely quickly in the past two years." Xilang said in an uneasy tone, "In fact, not only this place, I have checked around, and every three or five miles or so, there is another big tree like this, and they all appear near the shore of Poyang Lake, how can you say that feeling?" It's as if someone has planted countless of these trees along the shores of Poyang Lake to enclose it. ”

Chen Shuqing exclaimed: "What? That's weird! In this way, there must be some kind of relationship between the tree and the smaller size of the lake. ”

Xilang said: "Yes, grandmothers are not very good at finding patterns, they always roughly say, 'In recent years', Poyang Lake has become smaller and smaller very quickly, and I remember very well that the exact time when this change occurred was more than a year ago." The 'dragon sucking water' that appeared on the surface of the lake just now, and the water flew in the direction of this big tree. I can almost conclude that these big trees are desperately sucking water from Poyang Lake, but I don't know why. ”

The "dragon sucking water" mentioned by Xi Lang happened less than half an hour ago, at the same time that Pu Zixuan fled back into the lake and encountered a whirlpool in the devil's waters.

"I'm really interested in that." Chen Shuqing looked up at the top and said with a smile, "What kind of fairy or monster is a tree that can absorb water, just go up and take a look." ”

Xi Lang tugged at his lips and said, "It's just that we are the Ray Clan, and we are not good at climbing, otherwise, I would have wanted to go up and see what happened." ”

"I can't either." Chen Shuqing smiled evilly, stared at Sun Xiaoshu and said, "However, there is a professional in our team." ”

Sun Xiaoshu pretended to smile bitterly: "Okay, okay, I knew from the beginning that this task would fall on my head sooner or later, so you just wait." ”

After speaking, Sun Xiaoshu did it slightly, his body glowed red, and he calmly walked towards the trunk of the tree until he blended into the arbor.

Xilang suddenly exclaimed: "Wow, sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry!" ”

Yu Xiangdi asked with a sideways face, "Did something happen?" The wind whisper of the little tree disappeared in an instant. ”

"Don't worry, I'll be there again in a moment." Chen Shuqing watched a stream of red light quickly rise up along the trunk of the tree, and knew that it was Sun Xiaoshu moving up rapidly, leaning less, the red light was too high and left everyone's sight, and the three of them waited silently under the tree.

After a while, the red light reappeared, moving along the trunk from top to bottom, and when it reached the bottom, Sun Xiaoshu walked out of the arbor, his head was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he sighed excitedly: "Brothers and sisters, it's amazing, this tree is too powerful!" ”

"How? Is there anything on it? Xilang's eyes were full of anticipation.

Sun Xiaoshu swallowed his saliva and said: "This tree, sure enough, is not an ordinary tree, but a spiritual sacred tree, on it, there is a huge red fruit, slightly glowing red, and like a human head with facial features, I just approached to see what happened, the human face fruit opened its mouth wide, and I was so scared that I hurried down." ”

"Huge red fruit?" Chen Shuqing thought for a while and said, "Could it be that this is the Emperor House Tree?" ”

Xilang turned to ask Chen Shuqing: "Sister Shuqing, do you already have an answer?" ”

"Well......" Chen Shuqing pondered for a moment and said, "Combined with the current investigation, this tree should be the emperor's house tree, there is no doubt that this tree is the emperor's house tree, and it is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Zhongshan Classic": 'There is a wooden Yan, called the emperor's house, the leaves are like peppers, and the anti-injury is red, and it can resist the evil. In other words, its leaves are in the shape of peppers, the fruits are red, and its mouth is wide open, like the house where the gods of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors lived in ancient times, hence the name 'Emperor House Tree'. ”

Sun Xiaoshu responded excitedly: "Yes, its leaves are indeed chili pepper-shaped and pointy. ”

Chen Shuqing analyzed: "It is absolutely impossible for a rare sacred tree like the Emperor House Tree to appear on such an ordinary mountain, let alone grow around the lake, so we can infer that it is artificially planted." And its characteristics are 'can resist evil', as for how to 'resist evil', "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is not explained, I also saw this tree for the first time, so I don't know what the relationship between it and 'dragon absorbs water'. ”

"Anyway, it's not a good thing, I'm here to destroy it." After speaking, Xi Lang had already launched a demonic aura, shouted loudly, and punched the emperor house tree.

The Imperial House Tree was hit hard and staggered, and countless pepper-like leaves suddenly fell like snowflakes.

Although it can't break its trunk with one blow, Xi Lang's ability to shake such a towering tree with his own strength also shows the depth of his skill. Yu Xiangdi couldn't help but admire: "There should have been cracks inside the Emperor House Tree, amazing, amazing!" ”

"Hehe, look at me giving it a chill this time!" Xilang replied proudly.

was about to throw a second punch, but he heard Sun Xiaoshu dissuade him in a panic: "Wait, Brother Xilang, there seems to be something on your back!" ”

At this time, I saw a small tree demon, like a baby hanging from its parents, stretching out a branch and clinging to Xilang's back.
