Chapter 403: Roots
The old dryad burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, good, good."
"Well, since you asked so, then I'll tell you, lest I think of an opportunity to tell you in the future."
"I do have my own purpose, my purpose is to let you help me, let you help me, to move my roots from one place, so that I can live as a free body, and I don't have to be confined to this place."
The answer given to me by the old tree spirit made me puzzled for a while, and I didn't understand the specific meaning of his words.
Let me help it, to move its roots from one place, so that it can be freed and not imprisoned.
Suddenly telling me like this really made me feel a little confused, I didn't know what it was talking about, and when I was puzzled, I realized that I really didn't know much about the old dryad.
I frowned and asked, "Your roots?" What's going on? ”
Since the old dryad had decided to tell me, he wouldn't say anything more and told me everything about it.
"You don't know, my roots are all over the Wenshui River region, but my trunk is just an old dead tree, you have seen it before, and this is unreasonable. Because as a plant, as long as the root system grows well, it will naturally flourish. The reason I'm so abnormal is because I'm not the tree that grows here, and my roots are in that special place you see in the Dragon Gate. ”
A special place?
It must be the Land of Rivers of Blood.
The old dryad turned out to be from the Land of Blood, which I really never expected.
Because the old dryad always told me that it was just a very mysterious existence, and I didn't feel any breath and power of the Blood River Land from it, and I didn't think about it at all.
Now it suddenly says that it is the existence of the Land of Blood, and the tree that grows from the Land of Blood, which is really difficult for me to accept.
I stuttered as I spoke.
"You say... What did you say... Where did you grow up? ”
The old tree spirit said, "That's right, you also saw that strange place just now, and my roots are on the edge of that special place. Back then, when the last time the Nine Dragons Coffin disappeared, I was affected by the dragon's breath, and the sprouts grew, and they grew here, and as a result, I put a shackle on myself that I couldn't untie. ”
"My origin is always in another place, but my roots and roots are growing here, as if they have grown off, and my body is still firmly imprisoned because of the huge pressure formed by two different places, and I can't move a bit, so that I have been staying here for thousands of years, unable to leave half a step."
I slowed down for a moment before continuing to talk to the old dryad.
"Senior, since you have such a background, you should know that special place very well?"
The old tree spirit said in a deep voice: "I don't know, when I was born, I was born with spiritual wisdom, and everything I saw and heard was the things by the Wenshui River, I can only feel the unusual over there, but I don't know what the situation is over there, and I don't know the meaning of its existence." ”
The situation of the old tree spirit is indeed something special.
It's like a child born in China who grew up abroad as soon as he was born, then the education and humanities he received are all foreign, and the language and so on are also foreign. Even if he is Chinese, it is impossible to know the situation at home.
Therefore, it is indeed a bit difficult to ask the old dryad to talk about the land of the Blood River.
I didn't chase this question any longer, but asked: "In that special place, the blood-colored river is like the Yellow River here, flowing non-stop, is it a different space?" ”
Some people have always believed in the theory of parallel space, although I don't believe it, I can't help but doubt it when I encounter such a strange thing here in Longmen.
The old tree spirit said: "You think too much, it's not a different space at all, that place is just a memory, a kind of history, when your strength reaches a certain level, you will understand its existence." ”
It tells me very clearly that it's not a special space. As for what it says about a kind of memory, a kind of history, such a rhetoric is a bit esoteric, and it is difficult to understand, at least I don't understand what it is talking about.
Before I could continue talking, the old dryad didn't want to talk to me more, so he just shut my mouth.
"Okay, I've already told you about my situation, and no one else knows about this matter, and you can't tell others, when you have the absolute ability, help me transfer the root system from there, so that I don't have to stick to this place of the Wenshui River, I can walk around."
After all, the old tree spirit is a monster, with thousands of years of Taoism, even if the qualification is shallow, at such a time, there will be an extremely high Taoism, to turn into a person to walk around, it should not be a problem.
But because of its own peculiarities, this cannot be done today.
And I could only nod my head: "Okay, I will definitely help my predecessors in the future." ”
The old tree spirit said to me with a smile in his words: "Okay, I have finally been thoroughly analyzed, and you are relieved in your heart, don't think about my affairs anymore, hurry up and go up, those people are really coming down." I let the hexagonal dinosaur stop them, so I didn't come down to look for you. ”
Ji Yun, they are going to go into the water to find me, this thing is normal.
The old dryad didn't want to be known, and I didn't want to be disturbed, so I left first, and came back to discuss it later.
"Thank you for your seniors today, and the juniors will say goodbye first."
I left the bottom of the water, took the fragmentary gantry foundation stones, and quickly swam to the surface.
When the water broke through, several voices were heard arguing.
After taking a look around, I found that in addition to Ji Yun, Mo Tianji and others, even the little snake and the black carp were tossing in the water, wanting to dive into the water to find me. There's one more person on the shore who shouldn't be here, my big brother.
This guy probably noticed that I was missing, so he came here to look for me.
When everyone saw me appear, they all stopped, and the scene fell silent for a while, and they all looked over to me.
I held the cornerstone of the dragon gate in my hand, for fear that the breath would leak out and be discovered, so I hid behind me without a trace.
After that, he said, "Let you worry, I'm fine now." ”
Afterwards, I thanked the hexagonal dinosaur on the water: "Thank you seniors for this help." ”
The hexagonal dinosaur replied: "I almost died in the mouth of that Jiao before, it saved me, and I also repay its favor, and you don't have to thank me." ”
"Now that you are well, then my task has been completed, so I will leave first, and I will see you again in the future."
Maybe the old dryad gave the hexagonal dinosaur the task of protecting me from the dragon gate.
Now that it's all over, it's leaving.
I didn't do anything back, and watched as the hexagonal dinosaur turned and leaped into the water, and there was a ripple on the surface of the water, spreading into the distance, and it disappeared with it, no longer within the confines of the area.
There were a lot of people here, and I couldn't take out the cornerstone of the dragon gate directly, so I went to the shore and said to everyone: "I'm a little tired, I want to go back and rest first." ”
My eldest brother grabbed me, complaining and worrying.
"You guy is so unauthentic, you didn't tell me when you came here, it's easy for me to find it. Since you're tired, I'll take you back to rest first, and I'll leave you with what I eat, it's all delicious. ”
He carried me away, and it was difficult for others to say anything.
Ji Yun and the others naturally followed directly behind, although they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, they still held back their doubts and waited for the time when there were fewer people to ask me.
Mo Tianji and his mother-in-law followed further behind, they were a little far away from Ji Yun, who we had been together, because it was not easy for them to follow directly to the hotel.
After walking for a while, Mo Tianji suddenly stopped again and shouted at me.
"Chen Xiaoyou, I'll arrange it first, and then I'll look for you right away."
I replied, "Okay." ”
At this time, Ji Yun said coldly behind him: "Hehe, it sounds good, it's not like seeing if you can get any benefits from the ruins of the Dragon Gate as soon as possible." ”
Yes, I am noncommittal, even if Mo Tianji thinks like this, it is understandable.
Actually, I don't need my big brother to help me at all, I am full of powerful power in my body, if it really makes me explode.
Stepping on the teleportation technique, you may return to the hotel in a few seconds, but it is not good to show too much, so you can only walk back slowly.
Along the way, it was very quiet, except for the eldest brother muttering two sentences, no one spoke first, nor did he ask me.
But I know very well that everyone has a lot of doubts and things to say in their hearts.
I also summarized it in my heart and thought about how to say it for a while, what to say and what not to say.
Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the mysterious person and the person who was competing for my chance, and immediately asked Ji Yun: "Senior, where did those two men in black go?" ”
Ji Yun replied: "After those two fell on the dragon gate, they disappeared, and I don't know where they went. ”
"Both of these men are above me, and I have not been able to capture their traces. But I saw one of them, wasn't it the one who came here with you that night? ”
I nodded, "It's him." ”
After that, he didn't say anything more, but guessed in his heart that it seemed that the mysterious person and the person did not show up together, and there seemed to be a tacit understanding, maybe they really left, or maybe both of them were secretly staring at each other.
After returning to the hotel, we went directly back to the guest room, and the eldest brother was going to help me lie down, but I didn't lie down, just sat on the sofa.
The people present are not outsiders, and it is not a secret that Ji Yun wants the cornerstone of the Dragon Gate.
Therefore, I directly spilled the gravel that I had been holding in my hand on the table, and said to Ji Yun: "Senior, this is the cornerstone of the Dragon Gate you want, there is no big one left, only these, all here." ”
Needless to say, everyone can feel the power contained in the cornerstone of the dragon gate, and they can all guess it.
Ji Yun stared at the cornerstone of the dragon gate, and his eyes were about to glow.
