Volume 1: The Wind Rises in the Heart of the Tree Chapter 22: Departure Canopy District
Tiger Thorn Mei took the soldiers out of the alley with a depressed face, and stood in front of a man, putting his hands behind his back, wearing an embroidered white robe, with a calm demeanor, Tiger Thorn Mei saw him, walked forward, and bowed respectfully: "Lord Protector, my subordinates are derelict in their duties, I didn't expect that termites are good at making holes, and they dug such a long tunnel underground in a few days, so that the crocodile ran away." โ
The man in the embroidered white robe waved his hand: "It's okay, after all, you have only been in office for less than a day, let him escape, and you can dig out more lurking rats." If you don't eradicate that arrogant queen hornet for a day, things won't end in the dark, and sometimes it's more reassuring to keep them than to kill them. โ
Tiger Thorn Mei returned respectfully: "Obey, Lord Dharma Protector." โ
"Tiger Thorn Mei, you just took office, don't worry, today's thing is to commit the taboo of being in a hurry, your character is capable, and you are decisive, which is very good, but sometimes you have to think about it more. Also, the palace master's grandmother will give you a reward, and in the future, you will be named after you. โ
"Thank you, Palace Master." Tiger Thorn Mei didn't dare to call the palace master a grandmother, her level was not enough.
After the white-robed man finished explaining the matter, Shi Shiran walked back, and Tiger Thorn Mei stopped talking in the back, and finally spoke: "My lord." โ
"What's the matter, is there anything else?" The white-robed man asked.
"I saw a cat bear while guarding the watchtower, and I suspect that he is the young master of Bearheart City, and his dark circles are butterfly-shaped." Tiger Thorn Plum tried to explain the matter as briefly as possible.
"A black and white beast with butterfly eye makeup, isn't that a characteristic of the royal family of Bear Heart City?"
"Yes, so the subordinates went to find the old pedant, and the old pedant said that it might be Xiong Wei's son who disappeared a few years ago. But he had to meet in person to be sure. โ
"Then you lead him to the old pedant, and once it is confirmed, report it to me immediately, this is not a small matter."
"Whoa!" The tiger stabbed plum and saluted.

Panshan Huamei continued to walk around with a few people, originally thinking that they could find the road to the canopy area by relying on the map and the guidance of passers-by, but they underestimated the size of Treeheart City too much, and they couldn't find the location after going around for two or three hours. Looking up at the canopy area just above, she wanted to climb up along those hanging trees, or simply fly up, but Gu Tingfeng told her that the pamphlet she was given when she entered the city was very clear that except for the guards, the rest of the people were not allowed to fly higher than one zhang, and those who found it were immediately killed. The situation of being able to walk on two legs made her very crazy.
The dejected Hua Mei planned to take everyone to find some food, but just when she was in a restaurant, two guards in black armor stopped in front of her: "Everyone, the hall is invited." โ
"Who's in the hall?"
"You've seen it, the original Qianli Nine Outposts are sentry and Tiger Thorn Mei."
"Ah, it turned out to be Sister Tiger Thorn Mei, has she been promoted?" Gu Tinglan tilted her little head and asked.
"She just ascended today, and she asked us to take you to an elder."
"Who?"
"Old pedant."
"Who's the old pedant?" Gu Tinglan turned into a curious baby again.
"You'll know when you get there." The guards didn't say anything.
So the group followed the black-armored guards, the guards took them to a watchtower, this watchtower has a peculiar shape, from a distance it looks like a huge chimney with an onion head, the guards took a few people to check their identities at the door, and then took everyone into a small room in the watchtower, everyone just came in and stood up, the door of the room was quietly closed, Ou Qing looked around left and right, and did not find any exit, only an unknown lamp above his head was on. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt the ground start to rise, which made the big guy stumble.
No expression could be seen on the guard's face hidden under the visor. He only said, "Stand up, and you'll be there soon." โ
Everyone thought that it should be some kind of ascending device, and they were amazed, and they felt a slight shock under their feet, and the small door just now quietly opened again, and a bright light shone in instantly.
One guard stepped out first to lead the way, and another made a gesture to the men, motioning for them to follow. A few people pushed the eldest grade Panshan Huamei to the head, and followed behind with a cower, not knowing whether the other party was going to sell themselves or how to drop it.
Panshan Huamei looked around, there were not many people in the whole hall, but there were still some scattered people, dressed gorgeously and elegantly, there was a huge dandelion umbrella floating down from the hole above the head, docked on a specially circled platform, and a few people walked down from above, here must be the onion head seen before, there are still a few dandelions parked in the hall, and a few friends muttered, this should be some kind of transportation.
The guards leading the way in front pulled out a voucher and handed it to the guards. After the guard finished the inspection, he pointed to the first dandelion on the left and said to the guard: "The inspection of No. 09 is complete, it can be used, and the anchorage canopy area is worth seven stations." โ
After the guards finished negotiating, they led everyone to the dandelion, and the guard stepped forward first, opened the hanging door under the dandelion, and said to a few people: "Come in." โ
A few people have never seen this thing, and they don't know what it does. But seeing the guards go in first, thinking that it was unlikely to harm them, they all walked down the steps into the sling.
When they walked into the sling, several people felt that their feet were swaying, soft and comfortable inside, and there were seats on both sides, and the seats were plush and plush with two windows open. A few friends hulala sat down on the seats, and the fine fluff almost wrapped their bodies in.
When the door closed, the few people trapped in the fluff felt that they were almost floating up, huh? It seems to be really floating. A few people leaned through the window to watch the big hole above their heads get closer and closer, and then pierced through the middle accurately. There were no drivers in sight, but they were able to identify the direction accurately, and drifted all the way to the canopy above.
A few children squeezed their little heads into the window, and saw that the lights below were getting farther and farther away, and they kept wahing, wah, wow,
Gu Tinglan grabbed the arm of the guard next to her and asked curiously: "Brother guard, this dandelion is so powerful, so many of us can fly, I played with dandelion when I was a child, and I can blow a lot in one breath, but it is not as big as this, nor is it so powerful." After glancing at the canopy area above, he exclaimed again, and then continued to ask, "Brother Guard, where is this dandelion taking us?" No one controls it, it won't float around. โ
The guard took off his helmet, revealing his hair, and pointed to himself: "First of all, I want to declare that I am a woman, and secondly, this dandelion is set up in the watchtower, and the target is the canopy area and the seven stations, and he can't go anywhere else." โ
Another guard laughed out loud: "She is a bamboo slug (xiu), commonly known as a stick insect, and her body is as flat from top to bottom, you can understand if you are wrong." โ
Panshan Huamei saw that the situation was wrong, and quickly opened the topic: "Sister Zhuyu, there are many banshees in Shuxin City, and even the guards are women." โ
The guard named Zhuyu rolled his companion's eyes and said to Hua Mei: "That is, the master of the Tree Heart City, the palace master of the Wanhua Palace, is a woman, of course, there are many women, but it is only about half." It's just that you can just be lucky. โ
got closer to the guards, and there were more topics, and a few women played a scene, so they chatted.
It was Ou Qing next to him who had a little pale face since the dandelion started, and sat in the corner without saying a word.
The guard bamboo belly was more careful, and asked him what was wrong, Ou Qing said that he was a little dizzy and wanted to vomit, but the bamboo belly smiled heartily, it turned out to be a motion sickness, so he took out a mint candy from his arms: "Hold it, it will be much better, dandelion is not fast, it shouldn't be serious." โ
As soon as Ou Qing took the mint in his mouth, the cool feeling instantly spread to his whole body, and he immediately felt much more comfortable.
The dangling dandelion floated in the air for an unknown amount of time, and several people felt the dandelion shake slightly.
The guard put on his helmet: "We are here, come with me to see the old pedant." โ
