Chapter 140: The Tree
"Not bad." Lao Shu recognized Gu Jiu's words, "The Four Spirit Divine Beasts were born to bear the responsibility of guarding the Quartet, not only do they each have an atmospheric luck between them, but the title of the Four Spirit Divine Beasts and Divine Beasts itself is also an atmospheric luck, and this luck, shared by the Four Spirit Divine Beasts, also connects the luck between them." ”
"Therefore, their early years should have been smooth, but not so smooth, and there should have been no danger."
"It's because of me that I suffered a catastrophe, and the little Suzaku died nine times...... In the eyes of Heavenly Dao, although I am not the culprit, I am also the main reason why Little Suzaku suffered this life and death catastrophe, so after he punished the culprit who injured Little Suzaku, he naturally would not let me go as the main reason. ”
And the punishment for him is that he can never mention the relationship between him and the little Suzaku in front of the little Suzaku, and this punishment is undoubtedly a punishment for the old tree who regards the little Suzaku as a woman.
Of course, watching Little Suzaku struggling on the edge of life and death, suffering Nirvana in the flames, did leave an indelible knot in the hearts of Qinglong, White Tiger, and Xuanwu, and they were not allowed to mention the past that I didn't know if it was fate or calamity.
But they can't do anything to drive the old tree away, after all, the old tree did help them a lot at the beginning, and in the little Vermilion Bird Nirvana, it turned back into an egg and re-grew, and it was also thanks to the old tree that it found a lot of natural treasures, so that the little Vermilion Bird grew well, so that it would not be born because of insufficient nutrients...... When they were born, the Heavenly Dao had prepared everything for them in advance, so there was no need for them to worry about the nutrients before the first shell breaking.
But after the little Vermilion Bird becomes an egg after Nirvana, there is no way to do this, it can only rely on the Little Vermilion Bird himself, after all, even if the Heavenly Dao has a preference for the Four Spirit Divine Beasts, there is a limit.
At that time, Qinglong, White Tiger and Xuanwu were still young, and they simply did not have the ability to find enough heavenly and earthly treasures for Suzaku to help Suzaku successfully break the shell after Nirvana, so the old tree paid a lot for the second shell breaking after Suzaku Nirvana.
It's just that, between the lessons of the past, before the Vermilion Bird was about to break the shell, the old tree was politely invited away by the Green Dragon, the White Tiger and the Xuanwu Guest, they were really afraid, for fear that the previous Suzaku Nirvana would happen again.
It wasn't until much later, when Suzaku was about to reach adulthood, that the old tree was allowed to appear in front of Suzaku and get acquainted with her.
……
After listening to these past events, Suzaku was dumbfounded for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "What is this called......
She could understand the actions of Qinglong, Baihu and Xuanwu, and she could also understand the anger of Heavenly Dao, but if Lao Shu really died at her hands under the anger, and she accidentally knew about these things, then ......
Suzaku's mood fluctuated too much, and Gu Jiu sensed her thoughts, Gu Jiu paused before he spoke: "Piggy, what you think about has not happened and will not happen." ”
Suzaku was very depressed: "But ......"
"No, but." Gu Jiu's voice was very gentle, "You once said that you and the other three Four Spirit Divine Beasts, you are the existence that cares most about each other's minds, and this concern will make them think about it for you, so what you can think of, they will also think of." ”
"Not for others, just for you, they won't watch you really kill this tree senior...... Otherwise, how could he appear in the Land of Trials of the Blue Dragon? ”
Suzaku was silent for a long time before he smiled: "...... Maybe you're right, but I'm in a mess right now, and I need to be quiet. ”
After Suzaku finished speaking, he fell silent, and Gu Jiu didn't bother Suzaku anymore, but looked at Lao Shu: "You said you couldn't tell her what happened in front of Lord Suzaku, why did you say it now." ”
"Little Suzaku is really with you......" The complexity on the old tree's face flashed and turned into a touch of cunning: "Did the old man say it to his face?" The old man obviously didn't see the face of the little Suzaku girl, but just talked to you. ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiu was speechless for a moment: "...... Then why didn't you use this method in the first place? ”
Lao Shu shook his head again and again: "Little girl, do you think this method can really be used by anyone?" Not to mention that I really want to casually choose someone who can see the little Suzaku, can I make the little Suzaku believe it, just say that the hole in the Heavenly Dao is so easy to drill? ”
"The old man really wants Xiao Suzaku to know what happened at the beginning, and stop being so hostile to the old man, but he doesn't want to be struck by lightning with that person because of his lack of popularity and luck and lack of love from heaven."
As a tree that existed before the coming day, the old tree lived too long, in addition to some of its own abilities, the long life also allowed him to learn some special secret methods.
Therefore, from the first time he saw Gu Jiu, he saw the aura and merit golden light on Gu Jiu's body, which was condensed but not scattered, but so large and pure that it could almost be comparable to the Haoyuan Continent, which had given birth to countless living beings, and under the shroud of purple and golden light that could almost blind his eyes, the old tree could also see the qi luck in the shape of a giant bird hovering in it, which made him extremely familiar.
If you look closely, the form of the giant bird is not like the Vermilion Bird, and the owner of the luck belongs is not the Vermilion Bird.
Although he didn't know what the relationship between Gu Jiu and Suzaku was that caused the luck connection between the two to be so close, and he couldn't be sure whether Suzaku was with Gu Jiu's side, Lao Shu secretly felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come.
So he didn't hesitate to make a move...... Of course, if you want Suzaku to know the origin of their relationship with each other, don't always look at him, a tree with an old father's heart, and even refuse to see each other, most of the reasons, Gu Jiu's condensed vitality is also part of the reason - fire poison, if it is fire, then there will be, Nanming Lihuo, as the origin of Suzaku, ranks in the top five of the different fire list, and the fire poison among them is even more violent.
Lao Shu has really been tormented by the fire poison of this Nanming Lihuo for many years, and seeing the hope of healing from his injuries - Gu Jiu is right in front of him, and it is understandable that he is a little out of control.
And Gu Jiu, who couldn't get out, actually used Nanming Lihuo, which made Lao Shu even more surprised.
As soon as Lao Shu's words blurted out, Gu Jiu knew that the luck merit on her body had been seen through again, but she didn't react violently, after all, this situation has happened a lot in her past and present lives.
Lao Shu looked at Gu Jiu like this, and couldn't help but speak: "Looking at your appearance, you should know what is special in your body, why don't you worry about being killed and robbed of treasures at all?" ”
Gu Jiu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Then senior, tell me, even if you know that the luck merit on my body is a supreme treasure, how many people dare to do it?" ”
Lao Shu was dumbfounded, there were really few people who dared to make a move, at least, as far as he was concerned, he didn't dare to make a move in his heyday.
Such luck and merit, as well as the obvious partiality of the Heavenly Dao - he had been warned by the Heavenly Dao because he saw the merit and luck on this little girl's body, and he did not cause him any serious harm, but he told him clearly that this girl couldn't move.
However, soon Lao Shu said: "There are indeed few people who dare to do it, but it won't be nothing, little girl, you obviously understand, otherwise, you won't say that 'there are a few more who dare to do it', not that no one dares to do it." ”
Gu Jiu: "......"
She looked at the old tree: "So, senior, do you have any good suggestions?" ”
The old tree was about to say, but his expression changed suddenly: "Someone broke in." ”
A branch suddenly became longer, and the cyan origin hanging in front of Gu Jiu was lightly slapped in the direction of Gu Jiu, and without giving Gu Jiu time to react, the cyan origin had already integrated into Gu Jiu's body, turning into a large number of fragments of comprehension about the way of life, impacting Gu Jiu's sea of knowledge.
Then a few branches poked out, encircled Gu Jiu's hands and feet and pulled forward, and a whirlpool appeared on the trunk of the old tree at the same time, Gu Jiu was pulled into the whirlpool, and the whirlpool on the trunk disappeared without a trace.
The face of the old tree that appeared on the trunk also disappeared at the same time.
Lin Hai was silent, as if Gu Jiu had never appeared at all.
At the same time, on the other side of Lin Hai, the space was torn apart, and several black figures poked in, and a powerful divine sense swept over the entire Lin Hai in an instant.
"Someone came in before us, and the key to find the token has been taken."
"Hmph, if it weren't for you, how could we have come here, now it's okay, see how you explain to the Lord!"
"Don't rely on me for everything, if it weren't for you, how could I ......"
"That's it! Now it's important to find out who is the first to get there, and I don't have time to listen to you here! ”
“……”
"Captain, what do you say?"
"Go there, there's an old friend of the Lord there, and from him we must get some answers."
……
"On the tree, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you ever been okay?" The black figures quickly rushed to the old tree.
The old face appeared on the trunk of the old tree, and he glanced at the few figures who were tightly wrapped from head to toe in black, and his voice could not hide his boredom: "It was not bad, but now that I see you, the deity is immediately uneasy." ”
The man in black in the lead respectfully bowed his hand: "You are joking, the junior has something to inquire about......
Lao Shu sneered and interrupted the words of the man in black who was in the lead: "Junior? It's just a dog's leg, and he deserves to call himself a junior in front of the deity? Your master taught you like this, and it really humiliates the heart of the deity...... Okay, the deity has written it down, and I will definitely come to the door to ask for advice in the future. ”
The leading man in black: "......" had long heard that the tree was very strange, but he really didn't expect that a self-proclaimed person could also make the tree master humiliate him.
Thinking about what the master had said, the man in black who led the way decided to follow what the master said, ignoring the words of the tree lord: "I don't know if you know the tree lord, where is the person who got the key here?" ”
