After Yan Xiaoying's reminder, I suddenly realized that I hadn't seen the most iconic tree in the forest below, which was the most iconic tree in the Heavenly Secret Realm.

It is easy to say that there is no big tree taller than the mountain, but in the notes of the old fat father, there is obviously a description of the big tree.

The trees are towering, and it stands to reason that even if you are more than ten miles away, you can see it clearly.

But right now, I don't see any trees taller than the sky.

Lao Fei said that Jingmei's traces can be found inside the big tree, but he didn't even see the big tree, so how could he find Jingmei's traces?

"Could it be...... Isn't this a paradise at all? ”

This shouldn't be possible, the surrounding environment is so familiar, even the peaks in the distance, and the current canyon and forest are the same as the heavenly secret realm we entered.

We finally got here, and if this is not a secret place of heaven, even I don't believe it!

Only, where did the big tree go? Could it be that it will still run away?

For a while, I was stunned, a little depressed, and I didn't know how to describe my mood at this time.

Lost, dazed......

When I came back from Ccentipede Ridge, I learned the news of Jingmei, and rushed here as soon as possible, but I didn't expect this to be the result, which was a little unacceptable to me.

"Tianyan...... You...... Okay? Yan Xiaoying looked at me worriedly.

"There was a record of the big tree in the notes of the old fat father, which means that there was indeed that big tree here twenty years ago. It's just that in the past twenty years, I don't know what has happened here, the big tree has disappeared, maybe it has been cut down? Yan Xiaoying comforted me.

"How can such a big giant tree be cut down by manpower?" I smiled wryly.

"How could it be?"

Yan Xiaoying said softly, "Before entering the Heavenly Secret Realm, can you imagine that there will be such a big tree in the world?" It is like an alien, it does not belong to this heaven and earth, since it can grow so big, it can naturally be cut down by people, and no matter how powerful a person is, it may be defeated, let alone a tree? ”

"Perhaps!"

I tried my best to calm my mood, squeezed out a smile at Yan Xiaoying and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, it's okay!" ”

"It's okay, as for whether there is a big tree here, let's go down and see."

She paused, and then said, "Besides, even if there is a trace of the mountain god Niangniang here, it was twenty years ago, and it can't affect anything now." You came here, to make it clear, but you just want to understand the past of the mountain god Niangniang and follow in her footsteps. ”

"In the Heavenly Secret Realm before, she had been taken away by the people of the Yin Division, and now she should be in a certain place under the Yin Division, and it is absolutely impossible to be here. Unless...... There are two mountain gods in this world...... Or the mountain god Niangniang, she will doppelgänger the art of separation......"

"You're right!"

I sighed lightly and smiled wryly, "To be honest, hearing you say that, I suddenly had some doubts about why I came here. I knew that Jingmei couldn't be here, but when I received a message from the old fat sister before, I rushed over as soon as possible......"

"Now I don't see the big tree, and I'm so lost, sometimes, I really don't know what I'm clinging to? It seems that he will be very concerned about anything about Jingmei, and even to the point of being extreme. ”

"So, you should adjust your mentality."

Yan Xiaoying said in a low voice: "Maybe you care about her too much, this is not a good thing." At least it affects your normal life, and even you yourself don't know that your personality has changed a lot compared to before. ”

"Remember the first time you came to the coffin shop to ask my grandmother to help get rid of the snake, right? At that time, you hadn't married the mountain god Niangniang. At that time, you were so sunny, but since you married the mountain god Niangniang, I have found that your personality has become more and more gloomy, more and more sentimental, and the smile on your face has become smaller and smaller. ”

"Really? I don't remember what I used to be like. I said.

"What are you two muttering again?" Lao Fei's voice sounded from behind him, planning the communication between me and Yan Xiaoying.

"The tree is gone!"

I pointed to the forest under the deep valley, turned to the old man, and said.

"Gone?"

Lao Fei was stunned for a moment, carefully looked at the forest under the deep valley, stayed for half a minute, and then said, "Maybe it's broken, right?" Go down and see. ”

"You're optimistic?"

Seeing Lao Fei's reaction, I couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

"So what? If you don't see it, it's gone, what can you do if it's come to this? The old fat spread his hands and said with an indifferent face.

"What big tree? Have the three of you been here before? The tattooed man listened with a strange look on his face.

"No, but we've been to a place that is quite similar to this place." I said.

"Look at the sky, it's going to get dark soon, hurry up."

Yan Xiaoying said in a deep voice: "I don't know what will happen here after dark?" You have time to chat here, so you might as well hurry. ”

There are vines climbing under the cliff, although it is steep, but with the skills of Yan Xiaoying and me, it is not difficult to go down.

However, Huang Jinquan and Lao Fei and the others can't, and there are still weak yellow hairs, but fortunately, Yan Xiaoying is well prepared, and there is a rope in her backpack for us to climb down the cliff.

Fixing the rope, I went down the cliff first.

Because this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, with rich experience, I went down the cliff very quickly, and I did not encounter any danger during the period, and I fell to the bottom of the cliff safely.

Next are Huang Jinquan, Huang Mao, and a few tattooed men, although the process of their whereabouts is dangerous, but because Yan Xiaoying has done safety measures in advance, there are no accidents.

By the time Yan Xiaoying and Lao Fei came down from the cliff and the six of them regrouped, the sun had already sunset, but night had not yet come, but it was estimated that it would be soon.

Under the cliff is a steep grassy slope, and there are no strange clay pot graves in sight.

We rested for a few minutes and began to make our way towards the end of the grassy slope, the lush, tall canyon forest.

By the time we reached the outskirts of the forest, night had fallen.

It was a primeval forest, tall and dense, each tree was nearly two or three people hugging each other, twenty or thirty meters high, it was an unknown tree, at least I could not name them.

Because the canyon forest is low-lying, the temperature in the forest is very high, and the ground is full of puddles, with roots and stems, thick dead branches and leaves, cold and damp, typical of forest swamps.

Such a place is most likely to produce miasma that is toxic to the human body, and the swamp is covered with thick dead leaves, so if you are not careful, you may fall under the mud and be unable to get up again.

There were a few birdcalls in the forest occasionally, and it didn't seem to be a dead forest, at least those birdcalls added a little life to the whole forest.

"Shall we go into the forest?" Huang Jinquan looked at the deep and dark forest in front of him, crossed his arms and shivered and asked us.

"Of course!"

Lao Fei lit a cigarette and said quietly, "Our destination is the end of this forest, how about it?" Do you regret coming here with us? ”

"This ......"

Huang Jinquan, the tattooed man and the yellow hair looked at each other, and no one answered for a while.

"You guy, even the rune paper you carried was soaked, I didn't expect to smoke cigarettes!"

Seeing the old fat bar chirping and smoking, I was speechless for a while, and I didn't know why the cigarette he was carrying was not soaked when he fell into the water just now?

"What's going on? Would you like one? ”

Before I could answer, the tattooed man and Huang Mao ran forward with a flattering look: "Fat brother, give us one too?" ”

At this time, a hand suddenly snatched the lit cigarette from Lao Fei's hand, walked to the side and smoked it, but it was Huang Jinquan who took advantage of Lao Fei's inattention and snatched the cigarette from the latter's hand.

She didn't dislike it, she didn't even wipe the saliva on the cigarette butt, so she smoked it herself, took a deep sip, spit out the smoke ring, and her expression was intoxicated.

"Little girl, you really don't think I'm a bad person!"

The old fat glanced at Huang Jinquan, but he was also very generous, gave the tattooed man and Huang Mao a cigarette each, lit another one himself, lit it and handed it to me.

I shook my head and signaled that I didn't want to smoke now, but I was disgusted.

Yan Xiaoying stood aside, silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Okay, tell me about it, are you going to go on tonight? Or do you rest on the outskirts of the forest and wait until dawn tomorrow before entering the forest? I opened my mouth and asked for the opinions of the people.

There is no doubt that Huang Jinquan, the tattooed man and the yellow haired three of them do not want to go into the forest at night, because just looking at the complex terrain in the forest is already prohibitive, let alone going in at night.

However, the decision is not in their hands, and they can only give their opinions cautiously.

The old fat had an indifferent attitude.

"Let's rest outside for the night tonight!" Yan Xiaoying said lightly: "Anyway, I've already come in, and I'm not in a hurry, the danger of rushing in the forest at night will be greatly increased, it's better to rest and wait until dawn tomorrow to go in." ”

Since Yan Xiaoying has said so, I naturally have no opinion.

At that moment, a few people turned back to the grassy slope and found a flat place to sit down, Lao Fei and I went into the forest to find dead branches and came back to make a fire, and a few people sat in front of the campfire and ate the little dry food left.

Huang Jinquan opened the conversation and talked about the golden python and the bat king he had seen before, his face was full of surprise, and then many questions appeared.

"Brother Tianyan, why is the golden python so big before? Is it a basilisk? How come I've never heard of a snake demon on a mountain before? ”

"What kind of bats are they? Actually living under the tower pillar crypt? ”

"Why do bats and snakes fight together?"

"What is this place? Are we still on Paradise Mountain? ”

"That little red snake that appeared earlier? What the hell is it? Is it the parasitic snake in Brother Tianyan's body? ”

"Fat brother, you were so powerful before, you can actually emit lightning in the rune paper, teach us?"

……

At first, I patiently responded a few words, but then the three of them asked more and more questions, and I couldn't answer them at all, and besides, there were some things I didn't want to talk about at all.

Yan Xiaoying sat aside, silent, looking like she didn't care about herself.

Only Lao Fei heard the three of Jinquan praise him, his face was proud, and he immediately bloomed with lotus flowers, talking about his romantic past......
