Nie Xiaosheng came to the tree, looking at the branches of the ancient mulberry, he recalled that when he was a child, he passed by here, and once heard the older generation of people say, in the past, the ancient mulberry was hung with ribbons and signs for blessings, and there was a room-sized bronze bell on the thick branches, the branches fluttered with the wind, the copper bell rang, the sound fluttered under the shadow of the ancient mulberry, people seemed to be able to see the people who had come here to pray for blessings, their previous lives and previous lives were written on these blessing cards, Nie Xiaosheng stood under the tree, yearning, Gu Sang has witnessed generation after generation.

Nie Xiaosheng said: "The old people often say that as long as they write their names and the names of their beloved on the prayer plate and hang them on Gu Sang, their love can be witnessed by Gu Sang. ”

Tang Wu said with some regret: "It's a pity that Gu Sang is dead." ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "A hundred-year-old giant tree, decaying but not dying, you see those branches when they encounter places with soil, and they begin to take root again." ”

Nie Xiaosheng flew up and jumped on Gu Sang, there were still many unused prayer cards on the branches of Gu Sang, Nie Xiaosheng wanted to write the names of himself and Tangwu on it, and when he came to the branches, Nie Xiaosheng picked up a blessing card, wiped the sludge on it, and stretched out his hand to show Tangwu.

Tangwu was happy, and suddenly saw a green leaf twitching behind the branch, the green leaf was extremely unusual, Tangwu quickly realized the danger, and shouted for Nie Xiaosheng to let him come down.

Nie Xiaosheng also hurriedly turned around, and saw a green lettuce heart facing him with a big mouth, saying that it was a cabbage heart was actually Nie Xiaosheng's eyes, and in a hurry, Nie Xiaosheng didn't tell what it was, only to see that the monster opened its mouth curled like a lettuce heart, and pounced towards Nie Xiaosheng like an umbrella cover, Nie Xiaosheng saw that the monster was fierce, and he couldn't deal with it, and after jumping into the branch, he slid down the trunk, and the monster seemed to be unable to leave the place too far, and it retracted again after Nie Xiaosheng walked away.

Nie Xiaosheng slid down from the trunk, looked at the trunk, and said in shock: "What a big guy, if you are caught by it, it will be troublesome!" ”

"What's that?" It doesn't look like an animal, right? ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "It can't move, it should be a kind of man-eating vine, I couldn't see it clearly in a hurry just now, but now I think about it, this kind of vine was originally a predator of insects, almost the size of a palm, I didn't expect the parasitic on this ancient mulberry to grow so big!" ”

Nie Xiaosheng saw that there was also a lot of danger near Gu Sang, so he didn't want to delay much time here, so he hurriedly hurried forward with the tangling dance, and soon after walking, he had already come to the bottom of the Taigu Shensang, under the Gu Sang were the roots of other plants, they were clinging to the Gu Sang to absorb the remaining nutrients, these plants should look like vines.

Gu Sangxia was very dark, and after walking for a long time, he felt a chill on his back, as if something was looking at him in the dark, and its movements were very subtle, but it was still noticed by Tangwu.

"Be careful, there's something here!" ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "I also noticed, let's hurry through here!" ”

The two walked side by side, and the footsteps came faster and faster, but when they heard the sound behind them, it seemed that a snake was swimming from the ground, and after listening to Gu Wu, the sound was getting closer and closer, and the dance turned around suddenly, and a long winding belt rolled on the ground, and the few black snake heads-like things behind him immediately curled up.

Nie Xiaosheng looked back and said, "It's the ground hook claw, the root system of the cannibal vine, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's go quickly!" ”

Nie Xiaosheng and Tangwu ran towards the other side of the ancient god mulberry, the surrounding rhizomes scurried, and from time to time you could see the flat vines attached to the ancient mulberry, the flat and hollow vines seemed to have the shape of a skeleton in the root system, this must be the prey swallowed by the cannibal vines, and the remaining bones were difficult to digest and left in the root parts of the vines.

The two of them walked out from under the primeval god mulberry, and saw that a small lake was formed in the deeper part of the sinkhole, the lake was not very deep, and the stream flowed down from the high ground above the sinkhole, gathered in the small lake, and then overflowed from the small lake to flow to the root system of the primeval god mulberry, the root system of the primeval god mulberry was already exposed to the outside for more than half of the time, and under the root system was a bottomless big hole, and the lake water continued to flow into it and disappeared.

Nie Xiaosheng walked to the side of the stream, the clear stream reflected Nie Xiaosheng's face, through the layers of scars on his face and the old years, it seemed that he could still see his handsome face when he was young, Nie Xiaosheng washed his face, the water still became turbid, sighed, Nie Xiaosheng squatted by the water in a daze alone.

Tangwu saw through Nie Xiaosheng's thoughts, approached the water's edge, and the faces of two people were reflected on the water, Nie Xiaosheng looked at the faces of the people behind him, and said, "After so many years, you have also aged a lot." ”

Twisting and dancing: "Are you still a twenty-eight beauty when I am a twenty-eight beauty, aren't you also old." ”

Nie Xiaosheng turned his head, didn't dare to look at himself in the water, and sighed: "I'm not only old, but also ugly." ”

Tangwu stroked Nie Xiaosheng's face and said, "Then what does it matter?" You became like this to save me, how could I forget that you were so stupid and reckless at that time. ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "How can I bear to see my beloved disfigured, I would rather be disfigured myself than see your face ruined." ”

Twisting Dance was sad and pitying, and said: "Xiaosheng, if only time could be reversed, we could start anew." ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "I never regret it, and you don't have to feel sad, aren't we rushing to Shufang, we can start a new life when we get there." ”

Tangwu stood up hopefully and said, "Okay, let's go, no matter how bumpy the road ahead is, I will follow you." ”

The two climbed up the high slope and came out of the sinkhole, there was an overwhelming thick fog blowing overhead, and looking in the direction of the thick fog, a huge building could be faintly seen, and the thick fog erupted from the mouth of the mysterious building and drifted away into the distance.

Twisting looked into the distance and asked, "Where are you up ahead?" ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "It should be the Fog Gorge, the Fog Gorge is one of the gorges under the Ji Hou Pass, and now the Ji Hou Pass is out of control, and the Wu Gorge will only spew out fog from time to time." ”

Tang Wu said curiously: "You know a lot, I haven't heard you so detailed before." ”

Nie Xiaosheng smiled and said: "Some things are very common when they exist, no matter how majestic and magnificent things are, when they are ordinary, they can just take a look at it when they pass by, but if a rare thing is about to disappear, it will often become something that people often talk about, and everyone will rush over to watch and take a souvenir, which is to cherish it when it is lost." ”

Twisting the dance: "It's the big truth of the older generation again, I'm tired of hearing it for a long time, let's talk about it, what is this season for?" ”

Nie Xiaosheng said: "Ji Hou Guan controls the wind and rain, frost, snow and haze, and is the building that regulates the ancient gods and the surrounding botanical gardens. ”
