Chapter 276: Wusu Divine Tree
My mind flickered, looking at Shou Mei in front of me, and I wanted to ask him. But before I could open my mouth, Shou Mei said in a low voice: "Where are you from, why did you come to the Mountain of Life and Death?" Who told you about this place? ”
Whether it is from the momentum or the outfit on my body, Shou Mei can see that I am an outsider from afar, I don't have the heart to answer his words, and my mind is full of chaos again. This man, not massive, I can conclude. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but from all kinds of hearsay, I can feel that the big palm lamp of the previous generation of Qimen is huge, and he is a righteous and bright person. However, although Shou Mei in front of him is extremely strong, his whole person is like a sun in the dark clouds, a little gloomy. With this feeling in my heart, I immediately raised my guard, hugged the child in my arms tighter, and took a step back slightly.
"Answer me." Shou Mei raised his voice.
I have no way back at all, my body is tired and messy, but even in my heyday, it is impossible to escape from Shou Mei's men. I thought about the countermeasures, and at the same time I was muttering in my heart, this person, is it?
As soon as my mind was confused, my movements were sluggish, Shou Mei looked at me without replying, looked me up and down, suddenly moved, raised my hand and grabbed me, I couldn't block the attack of this kind of person, and I had to take care of the child in my arms, and hurriedly threw the child aside, just in the blink of an eye, the whole person was almost lifted up by Shou Mei. But he didn't mean to kill me, he just punched me in the chest. Before entering the mountain, we prepared very thick clothes, and there were several layers of wrapping on the inside and out, but Shou Mei's gaze was extremely vicious, and as soon as he reached out, he pulled out the Zhenhe mirror from my chest.
"Sure enough" Shou Mei pinched the Zhenhe mirror, his eyes under the two long eyebrows narrowed slightly, looking at the simple and old patterns on the Zhenhe mirror, as if thinking about something, he didn't take the Zhenhe mirror, just looked at it, and then put his eyes on my face, and said: "There is a ghost whip in the waist, and there is a Zhenhe mirror on the body, which is the palm lamp of the seven gates of the river or something that can only be worn by the long door." ”
"Who are you?" My heart is crossed, and I let it go, anyway, Shou Mei wants to kill me, it won't take much effort, since that's the case, then just be happy, what do you ask.
"Pang Du asked you to come?" Shou Mei didn't answer my words, and asked again: "Is there no one in Qimen?" Sending you here to die? ”
I was shocked, I always thought that it was a very secret thing for the old ghost to come to the extreme west alone, but Shou Mei mentioned the old ghost in one sentence. I thought to myself, could it be that the old ghost also took a picture with this person at that time? The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case, if the old ghost did not come to the Mountain of Life and Death in person, he would not have stabbed the picture of the Mountain of Life and Death on his chest, since he was here, he must have dealt with Shou Mei. So, what is Shou Mei's position? He didn't kill the old ghost, but let the old ghost leave with the message of the Mountain of Life and Death.
Thinking of this, I felt a little more at ease, and picked up the frightened and dazed child on the side. The little girl's eyes were wide open, her mouth was curled and she wanted to cry, I took out a piece of dry food for her, and while coaxing the child, I thought about how to answer Shou Mei's words. Shou Mei has already seen the ghost whip and the Zhenhe mirror, and there is no need to hide his identity from him.
"I am a member of the Seven Gates, and it was Nagato who asked me to come to the Mountain of Life and Death."
"There is still a burden on your body, your ability seems to be limited, even if you come, what can you do?" Shou Mei sighed slightly, a little disappointed. As soon as I heard it, I knew that he was talking about the old shepherd behind me, and that thing was really annoying, but he couldn't get rid of me with the unique secret art of primitive shamanism.
"Where is that tree?" I didn't have enough skills to argue with Shou Mei, so I changed the topic and asked him directly about the tree in the mountain of life and death.
"Get down!" Shou Mei snorted and threw a punch into my chest, the punch was so fast that people couldn't dodge, but the fist touched the chest, I didn't feel much pain, but the power of the fist seemed to be invisible and insubstantial through the body, and the old shepherd on the back was shaken down. I have been carrying the burden of many days like this, and I feel indescribably relaxed.
As soon as the old shepherd was shaken down, his illusory shadow wanted to escape along the snow, Shou Mei grabbed the back step and raised his hand to smash the shadow, and there was no room to turn around. I faintly heard the old shepherd's scream, which faded away with the broken shadow, like a pile of snowflakes falling in the snow, never to be heard again.
The burden on his body was lifted, and his heart suddenly relaxed, and he let out a long sigh. Shou Mei slapped the old shepherd's ghost and walked back to me, but this time, his gaze at me suddenly tightened, and his face changed, the change was very slight, but I could see it clearly. I noticed that his gaze was fixed on my forehead without moving.
Few people can see the abnormality on the forehead, but it is difficult to say about a person like Shou Mei, and it is hard to guarantee that I will not see anything different from ordinary people from me. I didn't speak, I looked at Shou Mei for a while, his gaze was retracted, and he muttered, "Are you from the Seven Gates?" ”
"Yes."
"You are a member of the Seven Gates, and there is another reincarnation seal" Shou Mei lowered his head and pondered as if talking to himself, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "Did Pang Du tell you, what do you want you to do in the Mountain of Life and Death?" ”
As soon as he said this, he was completely sure that he had contact with the old ghost at that time, so I said truthfully: "Nagato was seriously injured on the way back from here, and he was unconscious, and the picture of the Mountain of Life and Death was brought back by a stab in the chest, and he was in a coma, and he woke up once in the middle, and told me to come to the Mountain of Life and Death." ”
"Follow me." Shou Mei thought about it again and beckoned, "Come on." ”
He was already familiar with the terrain and couldn't go wrong with his eyes closed, and he led me through the narrow entrance to the mountain road. Located at one end of the Great Rift Valley, the snow is thick and will not melt for thousands of years. After we walked into the mountain road, the surrounding terrain was a little wider, this is the place where the people of the Holy Land worship their ancestors, and the snow is full of ritual artifacts and sacrifices that have been offered over the years.
Shou Mei took me for about three or four miles, and now the location is in the middle of the mountain road. Shou Mei had a torch in his hand, stopped when he walked here, the light of the torch was too scattered, I took out a flashlight, and after turning it on, the light pillar of the flashlight was less than ten meters in front of it, reflecting the shadow of a tree.
The tree of the mountain of life and death!
It was an unusually thick tree, rumored to have been planted by Chi You himself, and the three of them couldn't hug it, and it still maintained its vitality in this snowy ice and snow land, and it lasted for thousands of years. The tree was thick, but not tall, with sparse foliage, and its body was as dark as a piece of black charcoal that had been buried in the ground for many years. The tree is certainly still alive, but due to environmental constraints, it is not possible to grow as many foliage as it does outside the mountains. My heart was thrilled, and I finally saw this tree in the Mountain of Life and Death!
The light of the flashlight shone back and forth on the tree a few times, and it was faintly familiar. I think this tree is a lot like Usumu. Wusu wood is the same as lotus wood, it is rumored that there is only one tree in the world, lotus wood grows in the big river beach, and Wusu wood grows in Jiuli. Jiuli's Wusu wood was made into a coffin, but the tree planted by Chiyou himself in the Mountain of Life and Death is estimated to be the second Wusu wood in the world.
The old ghost rushed back to the big river beach from here and brought back the news of the Mountain of Life and Death just to let us know that there is this tree. For a moment, I was in a bit of a trance, a little incomprehensible. Usumu is a rare divine tree, but it is not enough for Qimen to desperately run to the Mountain of Life and Death. What does an old ghost mean? What is he really for?
"You know, what was I thinking?" Shou Mei interrupted my train of thought, stood beside me and glanced at me, and said, "I'm thinking, creation makes people." ”
"What?"
"With your identity, if you go back a few decades, I will kill you, even if I fight for this life, I will kill you." The slight contempt in Shou Mei's expression when he first saw me was no longer visible, his eyes and expression were solemn, and he said slowly: "But time shuttles, and today, I won't kill you, but take you to see this tree." ”
"This tree, is it Usumu?"
"It's Wusumu, a rare sacred tree in the world, when the Wusumu of Jiuli built the holy coffin, the Wusumu of the Mountain of Life and Death was just a sapling." Shou Mei probably didn't want to say much about Wu Sumu, so he said: "Pang Du wants you to come to the Mountain of Life and Death, and he knows your true identity?" Are you the reincarnation of Dayu? ”
"No, I'm not." I panicked in my heart, this is not the first time I have encountered this problem, but the old pedant of the natural Tao has already said it himself, I am definitely not the reincarnation of King Yu.
But as soon as this question appeared, it reminded me of everything that happened in the moment when the old ghost woke up, there were other people besides me in the Seven Gates, but he only named me to come to the Mountain of Life and Death in person, there must be a deep meaning in this, but the old ghost didn't have time to explain it clearly. If you don't want to do this, forget it, but at this moment, when I think about it, I feel that the mountain of life and death seems to be a step I have to take.
"Your reincarnation seal hasn't awakened yet, and no one can see it now, but you're definitely useful!" Shou Mei suddenly grabbed my wrist and said, "I want your blood!" ”
