Chapter 51: The Ancients Who Lived for Two Thousand Years
Although he was in a dream, Xiao Ling's consciousness at this moment was extremely clear, and he suddenly had some kind of realization in his heart, it was not that he was going to dream after falling asleep, but that something had entered his sleep, and it was under the influence of some force that he fell into a dream.
“…… No...... Wrong ......"
Finally, as Xiao Ling asked, the originally vague voice suddenly became clear and came down from the sky.
"And who are you? How did you do that? Xiao Ling received an affirmative answer, and his face couldn't help but be moved, what kind of existence is this, why can he be so powerful, and can take the initiative to let himself dream, and then enter his dream and communicate with him?
"I ...... Guys...... There is no ...... Malicious...... This is the only way to communicate with you......"
The sound began to be choppy, slowly becoming clear and smooth.
"Entering my dreams just to communicate with me?" Xiao Ling had a slightly stunned look on his face.
“…… Yes...... From you enter here...... We've been trying to communicate with you since the beginning, but unfortunately you can't hear us...... After all, we are no longer the same life form as you...... But you are different from them, we have finally awakened your dream subconscious, entered your dream world, and communicated with you......"
Xiao Ling finally understood.
From the moment a group of them entered this mountain, there was a certain consciousness that wanted to communicate with them, constantly calling them, this kind of power, intangible and substantial, they couldn't feel it, but they were still affected, maybe because he felt it the most, so he was always restless, including Pang Yan and Wang Lei, they would also feel panicked from time to time, but they couldn't guess that the real reason was that there was some mysterious force affecting them, wanting to contact their consciousness.
"You haven't said who you are? What do you want to communicate with us for? ”
Xiao Ling still kept calm, looking at the giant trees that were swaying around him, and looking at the glowing villains on the body of the trees, he already realized something in his heart.
It seems that these towering giant trees, after living for thousands of years, have almost become essences, have consciousness, and can even actively communicate with humans, and because they have been damaged in the brain, some restrictions have been lifted, and they have become different, and finally successfully communicate with these tree spirits in their sleep.
I'm afraid that no one will believe this kind of encounter, but Xiao Ling is convinced that his guess is not wrong.
"These trees you see...... That's ...... us."
Although Xiao Ling's answer was already expected, he still took a light breath when he heard this answer with his own ears.
"It turns out that you have really become a tree of essence, but you want to communicate with us, but for what? Is there anything we can help with? ”
“…… No, ......" the voice became muffled: "We are not trees that have become spirits...... It's just that it became a tree. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Ling's expression was shocked, and he suddenly looked at the towering trees around him, and looked at the white villains on the trees who showed struggling appearances, and suddenly had a terrible thought.
"Are you ......?"
The voice sighed deeply, and its tone became almost human-like.
"We are not trees that have become spirits, we are originally human beings."
Xiao Ling took a deep breath and muttered: "Two thousand years ago, in the Qin Dynasty, the Fang Shi Xu Fu was ordered by the First Emperor to lead three thousand boys and girls out on a boat, looking for immortal mountains and seeking immortality, and then disappeared without ......"
He looked at the little white people around him, all of them looked like boys and girls, and his mind was like lightning and thunder, and in an instant, everything was understood.
"You are Xu Fu, these trees...... The three thousand boys and girls you lead......"
When Xiao Ling said this answer, the shock in his heart was beyond measure.
Xu Fu, a scholar of the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, really lived to modern society.
"Yes, I'm Xu Fu......" The voice was also silent, and his tone was full of sadness.
Xiao Ling watched the towering trees around him disappear, and finally a giant tree appeared in front of him, this giant tree is more than 100 meters high, more than 15 meters in diameter, the branches are luxuriant, the rhizomes in the tree are densely intertwined, like a giant net, and a white villain is trapped in the net, this white villain is about forty or fifty years old, with three long beards, quite a fairy wind and bones.
"You are Xu Fu?" Xiao Ling stared at the little white man in the giant tree.
The little white man was suddenly surprised: "Can you look at me?" ”
"Not bad." Xiao Ling nodded, and then said what he looked like.
"That's amazing, I thought it was ...... You can just hear my voice, and all you see are trees that seem to come to life, and I can't imagine that you can see my origin at a glance...... It's not given to you by dreams, it seems that you are different, no wonder there are so many people, we can only communicate with you, it turns out that it is because you have opened the forbidden ......"
At this point, he suddenly stopped again, and then showed a look of excitement, and said, "We have finally waited for you, it seems that there is hope for our liberation." ”
Xiao Ling's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Relief? ”
"Yes...... We have attained immortality, but this is a cursed immortality, we live in pain every day, and we communicate with you in the hope that you can help us to be liberated from this curse of immortality. ”
Xiao Ling finally understood the true meaning of the phrase "immortality is like a curse" that he kept seeing along the way, and he also completely understood the cause and effect.
"Although you have gained immortality, you have become trees, and you have become plants from human beings to plants......"
Xiao Ling took a deep breath, and thought of the thousand-year-old trees he saw along the way, why the silhouette resembled a human form, just because these trees were originally transformed by human beings.
The white villain in front of him, Xu Fu's face showed deep sadness, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, we thought that we had discovered the immortal fate, had a glimpse of the secret of immortality, and pursued it all the way, and finally found here." Yes, we got what we wanted, we all gained the ability to live forever, and each of us can live for thousands or even thousands of years without dying, compared to humans who have lived for less than a hundred years......"
"But...... The price we paid for this immortality was too great, we lost our qualifications to be human beings, we couldn't move, we couldn't speak, we transformed into life forms, we became plants, our souls were imprisoned here, we couldn't live forever, we lived in pain every day. ”
