Chu Jing showed out the token, and the disciple guarding the pass was indeed released.

The black mage is extremely fast, not as fast as Wen Zhong, and the difference is not much, after all, he is good at flying.

The Nameless Mountain Range is located in the central area of the Lishen Continent, Xinguo is in the southernmost part, and Chu Jing flies directly towards the south.

In three minutes, some of the contest was used, but it was quickly exhausted, and Chu Jing fell to the ground.

There is a road, but I don't know which country it is.

Chu Jing didn't bother with such a trivial matter, and went all the way south.

"Stop, who is coming, and whose name is it?"

At the gate of the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the city stopped him.

There were a lot of pedestrians coming and going, and none of the people who left the city and entered the city were interrogated, but Chu Jing was stopped.

Chu Jing thought about it for a while, and then he understood that Chu Jing was wearing the popular clothes of the Xinguo, which was the most obvious among the people of this country.

The clothes of the First Martial Alliance were put into a mustard seed bag by Chu Jing, and he didn't want to show off the market.

"First Martial Alliance, Chu Jing. ”

Chu Jing replied, and took out the token of the Meritorious Pavilion Master.

Ordinary officers and soldiers defending the city don't recognize the pavilion master's token, but the First Martial League is in the nameless mountain range not far away, where will they not hear the name of the First Martial Alliance.

"Meet the adults of the First Martial Alliance, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and the adults are reloaded, please remember that we are on official business, don't blame!"

The leading officers and men immediately bent down with a very respectful attitude.

Other officers and men followed suit.

Chu Jing nodded and entered the city.

After seeing Chu Jing walking away.

"Boss, that's really a disciple of the First Martial Alliance, how can he be so young, could it be a pretend?"

"Stupid!"

The leading officer and soldier slapped the questioner on the head and scolded: "No matter what you do so much, even if he is a fake, you have to serve as an uncle." ”

The leading officer and soldier thought for a while, threw the weapon in his hand to the man, and ran quickly: "I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion, you guys take a good look here, don't make any mistakes for Lao Tzu." ”

There are not many disciples of the First Martial Alliance, and even fewer can leave the Nameless Mountain Range.

Generally, only those who are strong in the realm can go down the mountain and enter the WTO.

Naturally, the officers and soldiers defending the city did not know about this kind of thing, but all countries closely watched the every move of the First Martial Alliance, especially the city so close to the Nameless Mountain Range.

Therefore, even if someone really dared to pretend to be a disciple of the First Martial Alliance, it was absolutely impossible for him not to reveal the prototype under so much attention.

After listening to the reports of the officers and soldiers, the city lord hurriedly wrote the next note to the emperor of this country, and sent people to the palace while personally getting into the carriage to meet the person of the First Martial Alliance.

Who knows, not long after the city lord got into the carriage, another city guard came to report the departure of the people of the First Martial Alliance.

"Alas, it's a step too late, I hope that adult doesn't blame me......"

The lord of the city drove the carriage out of ten miles, shaking his head and sighing at the fork in the road.

At this time, Chu Jing performed the light technique of the body, and the speed was not slower than that of a bird, and it was much stronger than that of a fast horse.

In a hurry, he didn't have time to stay in a foreign country.

The First Martial Alliance behind him didn't know what was going on, and the Lord of Xing Tang coveted the ability to summon the 'Style God', and blocked Chu Jing three times to prevent Chu Jing from leaving.

Thanks to the pavilion master, who finally admitted defeat and gave Chu Jing his own token, Chu Jing had such a smooth journey.

Chu Jing walked all the way to the big road, to be precise, the big road towards the south.

But the main road does not always have to be the main road, especially if it is oriented south.

At this time, the road under Chu Jing's feet was full of wild grass, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

Could it be that the city to the south has been abandoned?

There are a lot of monsters on the Continent of Gods, and sometimes there will be a tide of beasts, and there will be a phenomenon of monsters attacking the city.

Chu Jing guessed that this road might lead to a city in the south, but it was abandoned after it was broken by demon beasts.

With Chu Jing's current strength, ordinary demon beasts are really not afraid, unless they encounter the kind of hydra, which will make Chu Jing jealous.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Jing still decided to walk along the abandoned road.

Although there are more weeds, it has no effect on Chu Jing, flying on the grass can only be regarded as a basic operation, and floating on the water is not impossible.

And running on the road is always startled by passers-by, and being remote is very in line with Chu Jing's low-key ideas.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Jing didn't see the abandoned city, there was only a dense forest in front of him, and there was no road.

"Hell!"

Chu Jing scolded in a low voice.

It was only the first day after leaving the First Martial Alliance, and when he encountered this situation, Chu Jing regretted that he didn't buy a map.

However, the map of the entire continent is only available to the world country, and other countries are not willing to easily reveal the secrets of their own mountains and rivers.

The First Martial League also does not have a detailed map, but the First Martial League is a guest of various countries, and as long as you ask the local governor, you will naturally get everything you want to know.

Flying from the air will not face so many obstacles, but it is a pity that Chu Jing will not be able to fly freely until he reaches three and a half stars.

The trees of the dense forest are very tall, and the trees of purple bark shade the sky, and the lilac mist that lingers all year round floats above.

Chu Jing took out a detoxification pill and put it in his mouth.

The lilac mist was a few meters above it, and for some reason, his intuition told Chu Jing that the mist was not poisonous.

Adhering to the principle of caution, Chu Jing still took one, but did not eat it in advance.

Martial artists have a special physique, and the pill is often the first to be the most effective, and the more you eat, the less effective it becomes.

The further you go inside, the wetter it becomes, the darker it becomes, and finally the foliage completely obscures the sky.

"It's not that I love Hongchen, I seem to be mistaken by Hongchen. Flowers fall and bloom from time to time, always thanks to the monarch of the East.

If you go, you must go, and you must live as you live. If the head is full of mountain flowers, don't ask where the slave returns. ”

A voice sang, and the song was miserable.

"Anyone?!"

Chu Jing was taken aback, how could there be people in this kind of place, even if there were, it was a demon beast or a ghost.

However, whether it is a monster or a ghost, it is too terrifying to be able to speak.

The big bird under the Heavenly Dome Sect thought that the cliff could freely enter and exit the mountain protection barrier, and it could only call, and only the five-star level of Hydra could understand human words.

As for ghosts?

The Elder of the First Martial Alliance believed that it was a miracle that the undead of Axzodia could speak, which was evident.

"I'm not human. ”

The voice stopped singing and replied to Chu Jing.

But Chu Jing didn't say it at all, he just thought about it in his brain.

Looking in the direction of the sound, not far away, Chu Jing saw a tree, a talking tree, two smiling, watery eyes, growing on the trunk, but no mouth.

"Hehe, I'm not human, so I know what you're thinking. ”

The tree's eyes blinked, but the voice appeared directly from Chu Jing's mind.

Chu Jing didn't know how to express his feelings, was he too little knowledge, or was he too far away from the strange things in the Divine Continent?

Chu Jing didn't know what kind of demon beast this tree was, or even if it was a demon beast, maybe she was just a tree.

"You ......"

"I'm a tree, just like them, except I've been around a little longer than theirs, so long that I've forgotten what humans called us the last time, but I have my own name, Aster. ”

Chu Jing didn't have an exit, and the tree already knew Chu Jing's thoughts and answered.

"Asterus......

"It's one of the words in the name of the girl who sang that song just now, and it's been so long that I forgot her name and even where she died. ”

"She tied a white ribbon to one of my branches, and when she had finished singing the song, she hung there, and I watched her body decompose, and watched as the ribbon broke, and the bones fell to the ground, and fell into pieces, and then ...... Even the bones dissipated with the wind. ”

Chu Jing was not used to this, and the other party seemed to be talking to himself.

"You've been lonely for years......"

"yes, many years ago......"

Chu Jing interrupted: "At that time, there was a city nearby, where many humans lived, and then there was a monster beast attack on the city, the humans moved away, the city was abandoned, and the monsters ran out without food, leaving only you trees alone here." ”

"Haha!"

The tree was laughing, and thousands of branches couldn't help but shake slightly: "You are so smart, you are what I have seen...... I've forgotten about the humans...... But you're not entirely right, the human city was destroyed by the monsters, but the monsters were destroyed by us trees. ”

The tree said terrible words, but Chu Jing was unmoved, as she said before, the woman hanged herself on her, and the body was weathered.

Trees don't eat people.

"This mist is very unfriendly to demon beasts, it will make them drunk and sleep, and those who fall in the dense forest will die here, never to wake up again. ”

"At that time, humans thought that with us, they could live in peace, and they took our prey from us. ”

“...... Other trees don't have thoughts, I have, but I don't mind. ”

"Unfortunately, fog doesn't exist every day, and at that time, there was a great drought for three years, and there was no water, so there was no fog. Humans use the water of the monster beast to irrigate the crops, and they suffer the retribution of the monster, I can only watch, there is nothing I can do. ”

The tree recalls the past, there is a smile in her eyes, there is sadness, this story has her, she is the helpless bystander.

Watching the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of human beings, then, only endless loneliness remains.

"Thank you for telling me so much, I'm leaving. ”

Chu Jing said.

"Yes, you're just a passerby, this place has long been forgotten, there will be no more cities, and there will be humans. ”

Chu Jing frowned, didn't speak, turned around and wanted to go around the tree and continue his journey.

"Wait. ”

The tree stretched out a branch to stop Chu Jing, and said, "We are fateful, I was able to transform a month ago, but I want to wait, wait for someone who is familiar with human beings, and I ended up waiting for you." ”

Chu Jing was silent, he was stunned by the word 'transformation'.

With a bang, the branches in front of Chu Jing stretched back, and the tree was shrinking, no, she was really becoming a 'person'!

It was the first time Chu Jing had seen a demon beast, no, it was a tree transformation.

The branches and leaves shrank as if curled up into a giant egg, and under the purple light, the tree turned into a human.

A woman.

Very beautiful woman.

Dressed in a purple gauze robe, with long flowing hair, he exudes a special temperament that does not eat fireworks in the world.

"I forgot what that woman looked like, this is the prettiest I can think of, beauty?"

The tree asked.

"Beautiful, very pretty, I should call you Zirui now. ”

"Why? I used to be called Aster. ”

"Because...... Adults don't give names to trees. ”

Chu Jing walked south, and Zirui followed behind Chu Jing, looking around curiously, observing everything.

"This is the first time I've been out of there. ”

"It's better out there, my sisters...... They will have to wait many years to see this. ”

Zi Rui said, no matter how fast Chu Jing was, she seemed to be strolling leisurely.

The hydra still has to go through a very important catastrophe before it can transform, and Zirui has already transformed.

One of the two is a demon beast and the other is a tree, Chu Jing doesn't understand their connection and difference, he only knows that Zirui is very strong.

"There's a city on the other side of the mountain. ”

Zirui floated to Chu Jing's side and said with a smile, very excited.

I don't know how many years later, when she sees the humans she used to get along with again, just one Chu Jing is not enough, she misses the city.

"How do you know?"

Chu Jing looked at the mountains in his sight, there was no road, and there were no people.

"It was the grass that told me, and she said that hunters had passed through here, and that the hunters had come from the city on the other side of the mountain. ”

"Can you understand plants?"

Zirui shook her head: "Not all plants, not only plants, we communicate differently than humans. ”

Yes, she didn't speak with her mouth when she was a tree, and her way of communicating didn't understand.

But......

The mountain is not in the south, and a south-facing road is not far away.

If he could, Chu Jing didn't want to expose himself in the city, he needed to hurry quickly, not cause trouble.

But......

Chu Jing turned his head and glanced at Zirui, he didn't want to take Zirui with him, she was a tree, not a person.

Zirui was able to see through Chu Jing's thoughts, but Zirui looked in the direction of the mountain and didn't seem to notice it.

"Hoo ......"

Chu Jing exhaled deeply and took a step: "Let's go." ”

It's another city, Chu Jing doesn't know if it's still in the country before, it's far away from the nameless mountain range.

"Stand ......"

As soon as they walked to the city gate, Chu Jing and Zirui were stopped as a matter of course.

This time, the officers and soldiers defending the city were much more polite, and they didn't dare to offend when they saw Zirui's world-like face and temperament of not eating fireworks.

"Please also identify yourself. ”

The officers and soldiers lowered their heads, not daring to look at Zirui.

The people at the gate of the city who were stranded because of the arrival of Zirui were also forcibly dispersed by the officers and soldiers.

"First Martial Alliance, Chu Jing. ”

Chu Jing took out the token, thought for a while, pointed at Zirui and said, "This is my friend." ”

Zirui's identity is difficult to explain, not to mention that Chu Jing is related to the First Martial Alliance, and he doesn't want Zirui to be involved.

"It turns out that the Lord of the First Martial Alliance has arrived, please go to the City Lord's Mansion to rest. ”

The officers and men became more humble, bowed their heads deeply, and made a welcoming gesture.

"No, I'll walk around with her and tell you city lords, don't disturb us. ”

Chu Jing replied coldly, as if he was very embarrassed, but the virtue of the superior was like this.

"Yes......!

Chu Jing didn't listen to him, and entered the city from the separated crowd, Zirui following closely behind.

This city is not big, not as good as Tiannan Mansion and Jinning City, but it should have everything.

Zirui was holding a large butterfly kite in her hand and smiling brightly.

"This is the first time I've ever been in a human place. ”

Looking at the strange and ghostly gadgets on the stall, Zirui had to pick up everything and play with it, and then put it back.

"This is a mustard seed bag. ”

Chu Jing threw Zirui a mustard seed bag and said with a smile: "I paid just now, you should have learned, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets in it, enough for you to buy the entire street, and the bag can hold a lot of things, so buy everything you like." ”

The gadgets of ordinary people are not valuable, and the items that really came before were those used by warriors.

Zirui took the bag and looked at it, and immediately used it, and began to search the streets.

Masks, clay figurines, vases, screens......

Zirui bought everything she saw and was interesting, and her bargaining skills made Chu Jing out of reach, and after the small vendor quoted the price, she immediately exchanged it for the lowest price.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, and after shopping for a long time, it only cost a few hundred taels of silver.

"This mustard bag is too small, why don't you sell mustard seed bags?"

Zirui took a fancy to a beautifully carved dragon and phoenix wood carving, but unfortunately there was no space in the mustard seed bag for a long time.

Chu Jing sat helplessly on the chair prepared by the store, shook his head and said: "This mustard seed bag, you can't buy hundreds of thousands of taels, you are too small, otherwise, you stay in this city, I will help you buy this street." ”

"Don't. ”

Zirui put down the wood carving and said, "I have to see more things." ”

"Whatever you want. ”

Walking out of the wood carving shop, Chu Jing saw someone looking at the sugar gourd selling.

"What is this? There's a layer of crystal clear on top of the red fruit, it's beautiful. ”

Chu Jing took one out, handed it to Zirui and said, "This is called a rock sugar gourd." ”

Seeing the rock sugar gourd, Chu Jing touched the scene, and couldn't help but think of an old song he often heard when he was a child, and sang it in a low voice:

"It is said that the rock sugar gourd is sour, and it is wrapped in sweetness in the sour, and it is said that the rock sugar gourd is sweet, and it is sour in the sweetness. ”

"The rock sugar gourd is good-looking, and it wears ...... bamboo sticks"

Zirui took a bite: "Well, sweet and sour, delicious! ”

When Chu Jing wanted to pay money to the person who sold the sugar gourd, the vendor said that he would not accept anything, and even said that he had sold the sugar gourd for most of his life, and when he heard this song, it was worth it!

When the peddler walked away humming a little song, Zi Rui said: "You humans are really strange, that person would not take money, he still has three children to support at home, and he has no money to treat his wife's illness, why should he have children?"

Chu Jing glanced at the distant vendor strangely, and shook his head slightly: "It's not that person is strange, it's that there are too many human beings, everyone is different, when you know a hundred people, you won't feel that someone is strange." ”

"Are you saying they're all weird?"

Zirui was still puzzled.

"Aren't you and me weird?"

Chu Jing glanced at the sky in the distance: "Probably there is one me in the world, and there shouldn't be many people who have changed from a tree to a human." ”

Zi Rui stared at Chu Jing deeply for five seconds, and suddenly said, "Why can't I see your heart?"

"Hehe, probably this is fate. ”

Aster's ability is nothing more than that.
