A.D. 1398, Zhengjia Village, Yanshan.

Yanshan is located in the west from Zhangjiakou Wanquan and Huai'an in the territory of Yanghe, east to Shanhaiguan, north to the Bashang Plateau, Qilaotu Mountain, Nuruer Tiger Mountain, southwest to Guangou and Taihang Mountain. It also has a very high position in the military, and in ancient and modern wars, it is often a battleground for soldiers.

Zhengjia Village is located in a valley in the deep mountains and old forests in the northwest of Yanshan.

The village is not very large, and there are only 40 or 50 households.

In front of the village, a huge willow tree is planted.

The main pole of the willow tree has been eroded by time, leaving only a thick and fragile shell of the main pole, apparently I don't know how long it has passed.

At this time, in front of the village, under the willow trees.

A young Taoist was playing against people, but he was not playing against ordinary mortals, but against the big hollow willow tree.

An old face appeared on the surface of the large willow tree, and the soft branches rolled up the chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard.

And the young Taoist is Li Hao.

Li Hao Luozi smiled: "Lao Liu, you lost this time." ”

Old Willow also smiled, and said softly: "In the past three years, you have played a total of 642 games against me, and today is the first time you have won." ”

Li Hao's smile remained unchanged, and his eyes were deep.

After discovering that the fragment of the space-time godhead had fallen, Li Hao also began his new journey.

And this journey, the smooth flow is a bit excessive. Not long after he arrived, he found the fragment of Godhead that had fallen at this point in time and space.

But although Li Hao found a new fragment of Godhead, he also fell into a little trouble.

The powerful power of the Godhead fragment endowed an ancient willow with extraordinary spiritual intelligence.

If this willow tree is an evil monster, Li Hao can kill it without saying a word and take away the godhead. But this willow tree is not an evil thing, but a guardian spirit with deep merits, sheltering this remote village for thousands of years.

In the face of such a good spirit, Li Hao did not give up his heart after all.

Of course, it is also related to the peculiarities of the fragments of the Godhead.

Once the fragments of the Temporal Godhead are fused by something unknown, unless the other party willingly hands them over, or the object is endowed with extraordinary powers, it completes its mission. As for what kind of mission it is, it depends on the origin of the fused object itself.

Otherwise, even if Li Hao forcibly took out the Godhead fragment, he would lose a lot of divine power.

Gu Liu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Thank you for your company for the past three years, this thing was given to you." ”

Gu Liu said, and a dazzling white light floated out of his body and landed in front of Li Hao.

Li Hao took the white light and looked at Gu Liu in astonishment.

Fragments of Godhead!

Gu Liu's face was tired, his breath was much weaker, and he said with a smile: "Thank you for the grace of Daoyou not to kill, this thing should also be returned to its original owner." ”

Although only the Godhead Core can search for Godhead Fragments across time and space, if it is in the space at the same time, and the owner of the Godhead Fragment is relatively close, it will generate a certain amount of induction.

As for the strength of the induction, it depends on the cultivation of the two.

As early as three years ago, when Gu Liu saw Li Hao for the first time, he had already noticed Li Hao's identity and origin.

Li Hao's mood is a little complicated, Gu Liu was born with spiritual wisdom because of the Godhead fragment, and now although the loss of the Godhead fragment will not lead to death, it will inevitably be greatly damaged.

It's just that he came for the Godhead Fragment, and it is naturally impossible to say that he wants to give up the Godhead Fragment in his hand.

Gu Liu seemed to sense Li Hao's mood, and said slowly: "This village has been dedicated to me for thousands of years, and I have watched them multiply here day after day. For me, life is good and very satisfying now.

When Daoist friends first appeared three years ago, I thought I was going to fall completely.

But Daoyou can kill me and take what I want directly, but he has never done it. It's been three years, thanks to Daoyou's company over the years, the old man is already content. ”

Li Hao was silent for a few seconds and said with a smile: "Daoyou is very open-minded, but Li can't ask for your things plainly." I have something here, maybe I can help fellow Daoists. ”

Li Hao said, and the seedlings of the World Tree appeared in his hands.

With a slight wave, a green divine light shone from the World Tree seedling into Gu Liu's body.

Suddenly, the old willow seemed to be rejuvenated, and the weak branches that had only a few green leaves shimmered with a shining luster, and in a blink of an eye, dense green leaves had been born. Its gray-black branches are a little more crystal clear, and when you look closely, it looks like a marble carving.

Gu Liu's tired spirit was lifted, and he only felt as if he had regained his life.

It looked at Li Hao and the World Tree in his hand in shock, and said in surprise, "Thank you Daoyou for your help." ”

"Wonderful, friendly, kind-hearted." Just as the two were talking, there were bursts of hearty laughter in the distance.

But I saw an unkempt old Taoist priest coming from afar.

His movements are not fast, but every step is a distance of hundreds of meters, as if the end of the world is close at hand.

When the old Taoist came closer, Li Hao saw his face clearly.

The crane has a childish face and a slightly chubby figure, except for being unkempt, but he has the image of a virtuous person.

"Zhang Sanfeng, poor Dao Wudang Mountain, has seen two Taoist friends." Zhang Sanfeng's face was full of joy and said happily.

Li Hao glanced at Zhang Sanfeng with a little surprise, but he didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet this legendary figure, and arched his hand: "Poor Dao Ziyang Mountain retreat, I have seen Zhang Daoyou." ”

Zhang Sanfeng seemed to be quite happy, and said with emotion: "The old Taoist has traveled the world for nearly a hundred years, visiting the blessed land of Kyushu Cave, but there are very few monks he has encountered. It is a great joy to meet two fellow practitioners in this wilderness today. ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Dao Chang has traveled the world for nearly a hundred years, and he must have gained a lot in the future. If the Taoist chief is interested, why not stay for a few days and discuss with us? ”

"Taoist friends invite each other, how can poor Dao refuse." Zhang Sanfeng said with a hearty smile.

Li Hao bowed his head slightly and did not continue to speak.

Although Zhang Sanfeng has the cultivation of the peak of the middle stage of supernatural powers, Li Hao still doesn't see it in his eyes.

It's just that he happened to meet this legendary character when he was about to leave, and Li Hao didn't mind giving the other party a little chance.

Of course, this is just a trivial matter, and if the other party refuses, he will not force it.

Three days later, at midnight.

In the past three days, Li Hao, Zhang Sanfeng, and Gu Liu have been discussing day and night.

Sometimes the villagers look curious, and they will come up to listen to a thing or two. It's just that most of them can't even read words, how can they understand how many people are talking.

Zhang Sanfeng's face was full of admiration, and he said with emotion: "The cultivation of real people is a means, which is really only seen in this life. With the cultivation of a real person, it is really a pity to stay in this ruined world. Can a real person know the way to heaven? ”

When Zhang Sanfeng said this, his expression was unprecedentedly dignified and serious.
