"Don't go!"

Ye Fu chased the direction where Yu Xianggu disappeared, suddenly broke through the white mist, and a burst of light flashed.

Opening his eyes, Ye Fu caught a glimpse of the light.

Overhead is a warm and bright red.

Tree.

Ye Fu sat up, only to find that he was sleeping under a tree and had a robe on the ground.

"Leaving the ghost?"

Ye Fu woke up from a vague trance, beside him was a carriage, the wind rose all around, and the red ribbon hanging on the big tree also swayed, and occasionally the silver bell jingled.

The mood seems to be cleansed, and it calms down with the drifting wind.

Ye Fu got up and looked at the surrounding flat land, there seemed to be only one tree here within a radius of several miles.

"Is the gentleman awake?"

At some point, the ghost came out of the carriage with a bag of herbs in his hand, "Mr. has been asleep for three days, but fortunately he woke up." ”

"Three days? Where are we now? ”

"Acacia Country." The eyes of the ghost Taoist moved to the tree, as if he was looking at some deep and distant myth, "It is the Acacia Divine Tree." ”

Ye Fu was slightly stunned: "The dreams made under the acacia tree, will they come true?" ”

"Maybe, maybe not. The Acacia Tree only provides an omen, and does not have the divine power to change the fate of people. ”

"And what did you say to Shi Zhengyu that it could bring the dead back to life?"

"Perhaps, this is a new magic that needs to be discovered in the Acacia Sacred Tree."

Ye Fu smiled, on the flicker, just obey the ghost.

Thinking of the content of the dream, Yu Xianggu was here, and Ye Fu was not too worried, but still asked: "Do you know what news there is in Mochizuki County?" ”

Ligui shook his head: "Acacia County has always been isolated from the world, and Acacia Country is not known to outsiders, and news from the outside world cannot be transmitted. ”

Ye Fu sighed slightly: "Then I can only inquire after I go out." Do you have any plans for the future after leaving the ghost people? ”

At this point, it means that they are going to be separated.

"I'm adrift, I'm at peace with what happens, and I'm the same wherever I go. What about sir? ”

"Let's take a trip to Acacia County."

"I think it's better for Mr. to go to the country of Acacia, and no one knows where you are going anyway."

Yu and Acacia have never had any grievances, and you have me and I have you in the two countries, and you can say that they are very close.

"Yes, too."

Ye Fu looked at the fact that there was no one within a radius of several miles, and it was all plain grass: "How can the vicinity of the sacred tree be so desolate?" ”

"What is this? I heard that it was a barren land that went to the south for hundreds of years, and it was only because of the sacred tree that there was a piece of life. The people did not dare to offend the sacred tree too much, and lived far away. If you go all the way from this direction, you will reach the country of Acacia. It is said to be a country of lovesickness, but in fact it is no different from a village. They are all small countries that survive in the middle, with very little land and people. ”

"Huh?"

"In addition to Acacia, there are small countries such as Fengguo and Wa to the east, which are struggling to survive in the middle of Yushu and please each other."

There was a bit of desolation in the eyes of the ghost, full of helplessness.

Ye Fu smiled faintly: "To survive, it naturally has its ability." ”

"Yes, the country of Acacia is really a country that people yearn for."

Away from the ghost in the direction of Ye Fu, he waved his hand and walked away: "Sir, don't cross the trail first." ”

Ye Fu got into the carriage, there were broken silver and clothes in it, presumably left by the ghost.

Being a liar is kind like this, Ye Fu is the first time to see it.

Inviting the horses, Ye Fu drove slowly away from the sacred tree and entered the territory of Acacia.

Entering the city, Ye Fu found an inn, led the carriage to live in, and when he came out after washing, he was surrounded by piles of people outside.

"Sir, but you just came in from Acacia?"

Ye Fu looked at the person who looked like the officers and soldiers in front of him, and nodded after understanding his question: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Please come with us, sir."

"Where?"

"The Palace!"

Ye Fu seems to have broken the law, and was escorted into the palace from the inn, with handcuffs on his hands.

"Your Majesty, someone brought it here!"

"Well, step aside."

The soldier left the hall respectfully, leaving Ye Fu alone to look at the thin back of the Acacia King.

"Do you know why Lone arrested you?"

The Acacia King turned his head, and what he saw was a young face, a simple white-robed hosta decorating a gentle face.

"I don't know."

The Acacia King smiled faintly: "Someone came to report today that the sacred tree was withered and dead. ”

"Dead?"

Ye Fu was a little surprised. She's just leaving there, isn't she?

"Do you suspect that I killed the sacred tree?"

"So, you admit, you're the last person to have any contact with the Sacred Tree."

"Yes."

In a place where no outsiders enter and no one goes out, Ye Fu is the only suspicious person. Even she thinks so.

However, there is one more person, the Away Ghost.

The officers and soldiers did not arrest him, did they not find any trace of him, or did it really have nothing to do with him?

The farther south you go, the more mysterious and treacherous the whole world becomes, Ye Fu doesn't know what ghosts and monsters will be encountered this time.

"I want to see a tree of eyes."

Acacia Wang nodded generously, personally with Ye Fu to inspect the situation of the sacred tree, after going to find that the surrounding green grass is all withered yellow, to the boundary of the sacred tree, sure enough, I saw a withered and yellowed tree, even the bark is wrinkled layer after layer, thinking of an old man who ran out of oil and lamp, burned the last drop of blood.

Ye Fu walked over in disbelief, stretched out his hand to stroke the sacred tree, strange things happened again, only to see that the places Ye Fu touched were blackened into coal, and the tree seemed to be burned.

Ye Fu withdrew his hand in horror and looked back at the Acacia King with inquiring eyes.

"I ......"

"Let's go back first."

The two returned to the palace, Ye Fu was not escorted this time, but had a seat and tea.

Generous and strange treatment, Ye Fu is a little unsure of the acacia king in front of him.

The legendary kingdom has an indifferent lovesick king.

"The Acacia Sacred Tree blooms like a red velvet fan, and at night the green leaves will close again, and the day and night experience 'life and death', just like a person's day and night. Withered now, but it's just a normal death. ”

"However, when I finally saw it, it was still very green, and I never thought that it would become so decaying after only half a day."

"Do you know the original meaning of 'gold and jade, but in the midst of ruin'?"

"Persimmons. The surface is glamorous, but the inside is like a defeat. ”

It is an extension of it.

The Acacia King smiled faintly, satisfied with Ye Fu's explanation, and said mildly and coldly: "After all, the sacred tree is the legendary tree with divine power, and it is the foundation of the Acacia country for hundreds of years, and it is not strange that it can use its life to maintain the brightness of the surface before it withers, just like a person, even after death, there is fine makeup, isn't it." ”

"However, the withering of the sacred tree will not have any effect on the Acacia Kingdom?" Ye Fu was about to ask, and saw a waiter come in to report:

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Shu Kingdom is here and is waiting outside the palace."

"Please come in."

Ye Fu was dragged behind the curtain: "Don't make a sound." ”

The messenger came in, and the lovesick king also walked over to meet him.

"Thank you for your hospitality these past few days, can we start talking about business?"

Serious business? Ye Fu behind the curtain unconsciously pricked up his ears.

"Look."

Then there was a squirming of seats, and both sides seemed to be ready, like a war of silent confrontation.

"The county lord of our country, Minxiu, is smart, and he is the best candidate to make peace with your country, I don't know what else the king has to say?"

And pro?

The country of Shu and the country of Acacia have such a deal in private. Ye Fu was shocked to find something terrible.

This trip to "walk the rivers and mountains" may be able to stage a Mission Impossible.

The Acacia King seemed to be laughing and did not respond.

The messenger was anxious: "What is the dissatisfaction of the lovesick king with the noble daughter of our country?" ”

"Don't dare. It's just that a major event has happened in the country recently, and Lone can't talk about marriage yet. ”

"Anything, we can solve it for you!"

"The sacred tree withered overnight for some reason."

"Huh?" The messenger stood up from his stool, "The sacred tree is withered! ”

"Yes."

The Acacia King got up, "The two of you can go to the Divine Tree Realm seven miles away to have a look, and you can't accompany you because you have political affairs to deal with." ”

"Your ......"

"The sacred tree is the lifeblood of the lonely, presumably, it is also the root of harmony, so let the messenger take care of himself."

After the lovesick king finished speaking, he turned his back on his hand, looking like he didn't want to deal with it anymore.

The messenger frowned and left.

Ye Fu heard that there was no sound outside before he walked out of the curtain, and saw a faint smile on the face of the Acacia King.

Ye Fu glanced at the Acacia King slyly: "Your national god tree is withered, why can you still laugh?" ”

"What's there to worry about. The tree lives in peace with the people, but the tree is not there, but it is still safe and happy. ”

There is no effect, Ye Fu breathed a sigh of relief, if there is any legendary chain reaction, then she is guilty, took a sip of tea comfortably, saw the Acacia King take out a red belt from the inner room, took a brush and wrote something on it, and then smiled with satisfaction, and hung the red ribbon on Ye Fu's neck: "Today I was going to pray under the sacred tree, but now the sacred tree is withered, and it is also spiritual to hang on you." ”

Ye Fu frowned, took off the strap and held it in his hand: "I'm not a tree." ”

The Acacia King restrained the smile on his face: "Yes, Divine Tree, there is really no more." ”

"Eh......" Ye Fu's guilty heart came up again, "They said that my blood seems to be a little special, and I am not very ordinary, see if you can cut some flesh and sacrifice to the sacred tree?" ”

"Haha." The Acacia King immediately laughed, "Why did Lone resurrect the Divine Tree? ”

"You ......" Ye Fu suddenly recalled, this guy doesn't want to be with the lord of Shuguo, the god tree withered a day, and the messenger couldn't be a relative.

"I said Acacia King, did you kill the sacred tree?"

This man has all the purpose and motives.

"It's not lonely." The Acacia King said lightly, "As early as half a month ago, Lone's whereabouts were restricted. ”

"People from the Shu Kingdom?"

The Acacia King nodded without hesitation.

"It's really good, the things they want are gone, so they shouldn't be forced to marry alone, and the lovesick country will be happy for a while."

This is quite sad, if you change places, such as a prison cell or something, it is a quotation from the king of a dead country.

Ye Fu remembered the emotion when he left the ghost, thought about the situation of the lovesick country, and asked: "The country is persecuting you?" ”

"There is no persecution that is not persecuted." The Acacia King smiled, "Let's go, I'll take you to see something." ”

The two of them came to a small back garden, where there were rows of small pots, planted one after another young saplings, and a few new green leaves, which were particularly striking in the brown soil.

Ye Fu looked at the back garden full of such pots, hundreds of them: "These are all planted by you?" ”

"Hmm. They were all grown by their own hands. ”

The Acacia King led Ye Fu to the center, next to a seven-leaf sapling: "It is the next sacred tree." ”

"Huh?" Can it be like this? So small.

"Lone says it is, it is."

Yes, people are kings, Chrysostom and Yuyan.

Ye Fu glanced at the seven-leaf sacred tree, stretched out his hand and nodded at the top leaf: "The divine tree and the divine tree will grow up quickly." ”

"It will be worshipped for hundreds of years to come."

"It's a heavy burden on my shoulders." Ye Fu smiled.

Sometimes. Faith is such a strange and pious thing, even if it is faced with a sapling that is not special, but once it is given a certain identity, it can bear the prayers of all people, stand like a god in the world, become a faith, and be pinned on infinite hope.

And the country of Acacia is about such a promising country.

As the ghost said, a desirable country.

Ye Fu straightened up and looked at the Acacia King carefully, this person is as indifferent as water, and his temperament is far away, which can only be cultivated in this kind of country.

"Acacia King, I have a question."

"What?"

"When I was in the capital of Yuguo, I heard people tell the story of the Acacia Sacred Tree."

"Oh? What do they say? ”

"The sacred tree nurtured with the lovesickness of the people of the royal family can fulfill the wishes of the people for happiness and well-being. But in this session, it seems that such rules have been abolished, and the function of the sacred tree has been transformed, turning it into a dream tree that allows people to experience the gains and losses of seven emotions and six desires. ”

"Yes."

"Then what I want to ask is: Is it because the king got a glimpse of something from someone's dream, or is someone trying to use this ability of the divine tree to force the king to destroy the sacred tree?"

The lovesick king turned around and looked into Ye Fu's eyes inquiringly, which was as clear as a mirror, open and desireless.

"So what? Lone Ning is a broken jade, and he is unwilling to let the people of Shu get the sacred tree. ”

"Sure enough."

What does Shuguo want to do, first the incense killing array in Yancheng, the Gu disaster in Mochizuki County, and now the battle for the Divine Tree, so many bizarre and absurd, what kind of thinking world do they have?

"Either way, the sacred tree is destroyed after all, and they will not get anything."

"If you can't get the Divine Tree, will they let you go?"

can represent the country of Acacia, in addition to the sacred tree, it is naturally the royal family of Acacia in the same lineage.

"If it was more than ten years ago, Lone might still have use value. But now that they have lost their lovesickness, I'm afraid that there is nothing to attract them. ”

"Lovesickness, what kind of magical thing can determine the rise and fall of a country?"
