Chapter 54: One Gain and One Loss

Ruoxin saw Guan Jingtian's whole person freeze instantly, the expression on her face was frightened and solemn, and Ruoxin also had a bad feeling in her heart, "What's wrong?" What do you see? ”

Guan Jingtian turned his head to look at her, his eyes stunned, as if he hadn't come back to his senses.

Ruoxin half-lowered her eyes, thought for a moment, and then took Guan Jingtian's hand and wanted to go back.

"Hey, what to do." As soon as his body moved, Guan Jingtian came to his senses. He didn't know where he got the strength to grab Ruoxin with his backhand, and took her hand and walked towards the depths of the city. The figure not far away had disappeared, as if it was just his hallucination, Guan Jingtian didn't put it down, just stabilized his mind, and laughed: "It's not a terrible thing, I just saw a peerless beauty, even more beautiful than you, if you don't grasp this young master well, this young master will be snatched away by other women." ”

Guan Jingtian was joking with Ruoxin while walking forward without stopping.

Ruoxin couldn't tell the direction, but Guan Jingtian seemed to be guided by someone, and he walked very smoothly. He led her through the deserted alleyway, which was dark and cold, and as she walked by, it was as if she could hear someone whispering beside them. Ruoxin was already bold and couldn't see anything, so it was fine, but Guan Jingtian exclaimed from time to time as if he was frightened by something terrible. Ruoxin guessed that he might have seen the dead again.

Guan Jing is naturally afraid of ghosts, Ruoxin knows it, at that time in Wanchun County, when he saw her who concealed her identity and was full of ghosts, he was already scared to the point that his hands and feet were weak, not to mention in this ghost town full of dead spirits.

When she first met him, Ruoxin only thought he was a pampered rich young master, but now it seems that he is also a real man.

After walking a long way, Guan Jingtian's footsteps suddenly stopped again. Ruoxin was about to ask him what happened, Guan Jingtian was very excited to pull Ruoxin's hand, stretched out his hand to point to their side, and said excitedly: "Found it, look, there." ”

Got it?

Ruoxin looked up in the direction that Guan Jingtian was pointing.

More than ten zhang ahead, a tall tree grows in the wide square. Unlike the gloomy and lifeless atmosphere around it, the tree grew luxuriantly and prosperously, with a canopy like dark green clouds, and cold stamens dotted on the outstretched branches, which looked like a warm spring mood.

The tree seemed to be very old, and the trunk near the root was tall and majestic, and very thick, enough for six or seven people to wrap around their arms. Many of the roots at the bottom of the tree are exposed to the ground, tortuous and majestic, showing its long years. The rhizomes that were deeply rooted in the ground gave Ruoxin an illusion, as if the strength of the tree extended straight into the center of the earth, choking the lifeblood of the ghost city.

It turns out that this is the tree of the Imperial Ghost Sacred Tree.

Ruoxin looked up. Guan Jingtian beside him was excited, completely forgetting the fear of the journey.

"Let's go over and see where that black wood is." Guan Jingtian said as she took Ruoxin's hand and ran forward, but after taking a few steps, Ruoxin felt a powerful impact hit her body, and she took off Guan Jingtian's hand, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground.

Guan Jingtian was startled, ran back nervously, squatted in front of her, and shouted anxiously, "What's wrong with you?" Why did I fall down suddenly, did I pull too hard? ”

Ruoxin didn't know what was going on, she shook her head, clutched her chest and stood up, before she took a step forward, and the same impact hit again. And even more violently than the previous one.

Ruoxin was shocked, she got up and tried a few more times, the same way.

What the hell is going on?

Sitting weakly on the ground, Ruoxin was dizzy, she was panting with her hands on the ground, and her breathing was short.

"Don't try again......" Guan Dashao squatted beside Ruoxin, stretched out his hand to wrap around her body, and had an expression on his face that was about to cry. Seeing Ruoxin's suddenly pale complexion, he hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and cried tremblingly: "What should I do? You're bleeding. ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ruoxin's voice was weak, and it was obvious that her body had been severely injured.

Although her body was extremely uncomfortable, seeing Guan Jingtian's excited appearance, Ruoxin still raised her hand with difficulty and patted him lightly behind him, and said with a smile: "Young Master Guan, you are really much better than me today." I'm impressed with you. But don't cry, or the tall image I've created in my mind will collapse again. ”

"Young Master Ben has always been very powerful." Seeing Ruoxin slowly calm down, Guan Jingtian relieved his heart slightly, he raised his sleeve and wiped away the embarrassed tears on his face, and said in a nasal voice: "Don't try again, Young Master Ben will think of a way." ”

He turned his head and looked at the Imperial Ghost Tree more than ten feet away in front of him, his eyes firm.

Glancing at Ruoxin, Guan Jingtian let go of his hand, stood up and ran forward quickly.

Ruoxin was shocked, clutched her chest, and shouted in pain: "What are you doing?" Come back, don't go alone. Seeing that Guan Jingtian was still walking non-stop, getting closer and closer to the tree, Ruoxin was even more worried in her heart, and she shouted: "Guan Jingtian, you come back for me." ”

Guan Jingtian paused, he turned his head, a little surprised, and then bent the corners of his mouth, his dark eyes narrowed into two crescents, with a little treacherous, and smiled like a little mouse: "This seems to be your first name called Young Master Ben?" He looked back at the big tree close at hand, patted his chest, and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Ben will definitely help you bring that wood back." ”

When he finally reached the bottom of the tree, there were cyan heads wandering around him, heads without bodies, but they were all gathered around him. And their bodies, Guan Jingtian saw when he entered the city, the headless dead spirit, stretching out his arms, groping as if he was looking for his own head.

With a flash of his eyes, he saw the same person as him before, standing behind a tree, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking at him with a strange smile.

Guan Jingtian was shocked, but now, he was bent on getting the Imperial Ghost Divine Tree for Ruoxin, so there was no fear in his heart.

Ignoring the existence of that person, Guan Jingtian raised his head and looked at the majestic tree in front of him, looking very puzzled, "Where did you get that black wood?" ”

Guan Jingtian squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and finally found something strange under the canopy, saying that it was strange because it looked like a fruit, but under the fruit, there were pieces of black wood growing. The black wood also has a side branch, and there is a smaller wooden block growing, which is inconspicuous, but Guan Jingtian is familiar, because the small wooden block is the same as the wood given to him by the monk when he was a child.

It's a bit weird that wood grows under the fruit, but that's it.

But the canopy of the black wood is very high above the ground, so how can you go up?

Guan Jingtian touched the piece of jade that Ruoxin had given him that hung close to him, and his courage increased greatly. He pinned the hem of his robe to his belt, stretched out his arms, and walked under the tree, grasping the thick vines on the surface of the trunk and climbing upward.

After slipping a few times, Guan Jingtian almost fell, Ruoxin looked at Guan Jingtian who was climbing higher and higher, and her heart was getting higher and higher. She held her breath and didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that if she made a sound, she would divide Guan Jingtian's heart.

It seemed that it took a pillar of incense, and it seemed that half an hour had passed, Guan Jingtian finally climbed to the tree, he sat down at the branch of the trunk, stretched out his arms, reached the fruit growing in the canopy, and folded it hard.

Looking at the fruit of the Imperial Ghost Divine Tree in his hand, Guan Jingtian was excited. He took the fruit and showed the black wood to Ruoxin, his eyes were shining, and he shouted happily like a child: "Hey, dead woman, look, Young Master Ben has got it, get ......"

Suddenly, Guan Jingtian's voice choked, and his eyes widened as he looked down at the square black wood in his hand.

The piece of wood, like ink spreading in the water, and the inky black color slowly devoured his body from the place where Guan Jingtian's hand was held, as if it was eroded.

Guan Jingtian looked at Ruoxin as if he couldn't believe it, his dark and bright eyes still carried innocent unknownness.

Ruoxin also saw that scene, she watched Guan Jingtian's hand slowly disappear with the upward movement of the wood, her heart was shocked, and she hissed: "Let go, Guan Jingtian." ”

I can't let it go.

Before the last "let go" was finished, Guan Jingtian opened his mouth, and before he could say anything, the whole person was swallowed by the black wood in his hand......

"Guan Jingtian ......"
