Chapter 12: The Strange Forest

So he almost ran and walked to get there. He was disappointed and amazed. There was no one in the place, and the light came from the leaves of the tree, and it was as bright as ten thousand candles. He climbed up the tree and plucked a leaf, which was warm and cold elsewhere. The leaves were still shining, and Sora picked three more leaves, stacked them on top of each other, and climbed down the tree, and after an hour, it found that the leaves were getting hotter and hotter, and it quickly threw them to the ground, and the two leaves were still attached to each other, and the other two were scattered. Kuwu picked up a leaf and looked left and right, thinking, "How can the leaf glow? Where did it come from? And it's hot!" The leaf couldn't see the reason, so Kuwu walked to the glowing tree and took a closer look. Still haven't found the reason. Curiosity led him to touch this tree, and then to the tree, and to keep busy.

Suddenly, a whirring sound came from nearby, the first time he had heard a voice of his own making, since he entered the mountain. He looked for a sound, and saw that the two leaves that were attached to each other were burning, and he watched blankly, and two minutes later, the two leaves that were scattered also burned. He hurried over, and the hot air rushed towards him. Kong Wu thought that there were trees everywhere, and if the mountain caught fire, he would burn to death. He hurried to extinguish the fire. The grass around the leaves was also burned.

The leaves that are supposed to be attached together are the source of fire, while the other two are burned because of the increase in the surrounding temperature. Thinking of this, Kong Wu looked up at the trees, only to realize that the leaves on these trees were so different. Not only are the leaves on these trees not stacked on top of each other, but the leaves are all parallel, one centimeter apart. Later he found that there was never a wind on this mountain, and there was no wind blowing, and all the plants were stationary, and there was no wind, and there was not a single dead tree, dead grass, or dead flower.

Kongwu called this forest the Light Forest.

When the leaves are plucked from the tree, they can be lit for ten hours, but the light gradually fades until it dies down.

When more leaves overlap or touch each other, it creates a higher temperature and over time, it can also cause burning. This burning can be used to cook rice, stir-fry, and boil water.

Kuwu has to continue to look for water, he can't bathe without water, and he's thirsty. He continued to walk forward, passing through the Light Forest, which was not very large, with a radius of about ten miles. Out of the light forest, there is a green plantain forest, which is a water forest, and the huge leaves stretch very high and wide. Kutake found a sharp stone and cut through the trunk of a banana tree, and the clear crystal water shot straight into the ground. Kongwu opened his mouth and drank heartily at the water.

Kuwu had to find a place to sleep, so he walked through a not-so-wide water forest, and at the end of the water forest was a golden forest. In Jinlin, he found iron, gold, and silver.

He cut down some trees, and in the area between the water forest and the golden forest, he built a hut, all made of trees from the woods. The day is neither hot nor cold, and although it is a little cool at night, it is warm with a few leaves of the light forest.

He made a simple wooden bed out of trees, lay down and slept with his clothes, and soon fell asleep.

After he woke up the next day, after eating those immortal cultivation fruits, he continued to look for people in Xuanshan.

On this day, he discovered rice fields, vegetable fields, and salt pans one after another. However, the rice and vegetable fields are not ripe and fruitful. Kong Wu thought that it must be because of the lack of water, and the salt and water in the salt fields could not be taken out.

Kubu cut down a few plantain trees, moved them to the edge of the field, cut the trunks, and let the water flow into the rice fields, where rice soon bore fruit, and irrigated the water into the vegetable fields, and the vegetables quickly ripened and could be picked and eaten. Put the water in the salt pan and the salt can be dug up.

These problems have been solved. Kumu made his home in this wood.

After living in Xuanshan for more than a month, Kuwu discovered more secrets.

Because there are no animals in Xuanshan, Kongwu can't eat meat dishes. Vegetarian dishes and fruits are eaten every day. There are also various precious medicinal materials in Xuanshan, some of which can greatly improve the martial arts skills of air martial arts.

Although he was alone in the mountains, he did not feel lonely at all, and he did not even have time to feel lonely and troubled, to miss his mother, his father, his grandparents, because he had endless work to do all day long, or to cut down trees, or to make swords, or to boil water and cook.

Since he worked most of the day, at night he fell asleep as soon as he got to bed.

More than eight months have passed, and Kong Wu has found five kinds of forests in Xuanshan: Golden Forest and Wood Forest. Water forest (plantain forest), light forest (fire forest), earth forest.

One day at noon, Kuwu came to the woods again, and there were locust trees, camphor trees, maple trees, pine trees, cypress trees, ginkgo trees, and other trees. Kuwu saw a hundred-foot tall tree. Because his kung fu had improved a lot in the past eight months, he jumped to the top of the tree in a few vertical jumps, and he found a strange emerald fruit on one of the branches at the top of the tree, and he searched carefully on the tree, and found that there was only one fruit on the whole tree.

He plucked the fruit and took a bite of the flesh. I think the flesh is a little hot in the mouth, but it tastes good. After eating the pulp, the pit is revealed. Strangely enough, the pit is a small, white transparent ball. He licked the pit with his mouth, and without paying attention, swallowed the pit into his mouth. After the kernel was put into his stomach, after only a few moments, he was so hot that his body could not settle down. So he practiced the Feiyun swordsmanship taught by his grandfather dozens of times, until his body was no longer so uncomfortable, so he went to sleep on the bed in the small room.

He quickly fell asleep. He had a strange dream in which he flew and it was his first takeoff. He kept flying over the mountain, he tried to fly higher, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only fly a little higher than the tree, and it seemed that something was always holding his feet and preventing him from flying higher. He wanted to fly away from Xuanshan, but once he tried to fly into the air outside Xuanshan, it was as if a force was pulling him from behind.

Flying above Xuanshan, he saw more mountains and more scenery. Only then did he find out that he had been in Xuanshan for eight months, and although he had run a lot of mountains, those mountains were only a small part of Xuanshan.

Suddenly, he saw a huge locust tree, he flew up to the branch of the locust tree, and just stopped to rest, he heard a voice calling his name: "Master of the empty martial arts, I am the locust tree fairy." I have something to tell you, but I am suppressed by the Demon Queen's seal and cannot manifest my immortal body. I can only speak to you in my original self. Kong Wu touched the trunk of the tree in surprise and replied, "How do you know my name? Why do you call me master? Is this Xuanshan? Why is there no sound, no animals, no wind, rain, thunder and lightning, no rivers and lakes? There is no person on such a big mountain? How can I get out of here?"
