Chapter 640: Trial
"What are you doing? Keep up......"
The man looked at me a little strangely and said.
I nodded, then slowly followed, and began to look around. To be honest, it doesn't feel like a country on the sea at all, because the architectural style here is somewhat similar to that of the hinterland.
I followed him into the city.
It is so dry that in the most central area of the city, there is a giant tree growing, and the crown of the giant tree is very huge, directly covering everything around it.
"That's the Immortal Tree!" The man glanced at me, a smile appeared in his eyes, and then said softly: "However, you don't have to think too much, the fruit on the immortal tree can only be enjoyed by members of the royal family, once the fruit on the tree is ripe, it will be picked immediately, and then sent to the royal family, properly preserved, we ordinary people want to get, it is almost impossible!" ”
I froze there and looked up.
Sure enough, there was not a single fruit on top of that huge canopy, which made me feel a little helpless, and if I was in this situation, I had no other way. I have to find a way to get a familiar look at everything here, and see if I can get an immortal tree fruit from the royal family, I thought to myself.
"By the way, my name is Xun Wu, what's your name?" He looked at me and suddenly said with some strange words, "I am in charge of welcoming newcomers here and observing the bone ship, and I have been in this immortal country for about three hundred years!" If you count it carefully, it's really a time flies! ”
"Ye Fei!"
I nodded, looked at Xun Wu in front of me, and then was stunned for a moment and then said, "Aren't you from here?" ”
"There are very few natives in the undead country, and most of them are here for the undead tree, but don't worry. The fruit is hard to obtain, but the aura emanating from the immortal tree is enough to relieve the injuries on a person's body and prolong their lifespan! As long as you live in this immortal country, unless you are killed, it will be difficult to die! Xun Wu glanced at me, with a hint of a smile in his eyes: "The front is the registration place!" ”
Sure enough, I saw a small house.
Xun Wu took me in, the registration here is simpler, you don't need to pay the monster's inner dan, you need to make some simple records.
"Well, that's all I can do!" Xun Wu shrugged his shoulders and glanced at me before continuing: "If you are really a dying person, I suggest that you go to the immortal tree and live well for a while, so that it will be good for your injuries." Wait until your body is almost recovered, and then look for a place to live nearby, the people here are more kind, after all, they have seen through life and death, but there is no knot that cannot be untied! ”
I nodded, "yes, okay!" ”
Xun Wu left, and I followed Xun Wu's instructions to come to the immortal tree, and sure enough, the aura emanating from the immortal tree was very strong, drilling into my body, making me feel comfortable all over, and even the lives that passed, at this moment, seemed to have been replenished a little.
However, this did not do anything for the Dao injuries in my body.
The wound was still devouring my body, which made me feel unusually tricky, but for a moment there was some helplessness. It seems that only looking for the fruit of the undead tree will solve my problem, but if you think about it, it's not a big deal. After all, the wounds on my body are not ordinary wounds.
Still, I sat under this immortal tree for a whole day.
Although it didn't slow down my injuries in any way, it also made me feel much better, and the gray hair on my head was reduced a bit.
A day later, I stood up softly, sighed, and walked slowly towards the city. It's a very deserted place, and the people in the neighborhood don't seem to have much to do, and the daily things they do are very fixed. And there were very few shops on the street, and there was no such noise of people, which made me feel that I was not a city, but a dead land. Although it is said that this place is known as the immortal country, in addition to the vitality of these people, I feel that this immortal country has already died.
I gradually inquired about the news, and I also figured out the royal family here.
The so-called royal family is nothing more than self-proclaimed, and in fact, they are also the descendants of the Heavenly Venerable who controls the Immortal Tree, and their strength is strong and their Taoism is profound. On this island, it can be said that they are the real masters, and the rest of the entire undead country lives under their protection.
The royal family of the undead resides in the imperial city in the center of the city.
There were heavily guarded there, and there were thousands of guards in the Quchen Realm alone, and there were many more other powerhouses mixed in.
This strikes me as a little strange, because logically speaking, the undead kingdom has no quarrel with the world. There shouldn't be any disputes in this kind of place, and if that's the case, then what does the royal family of the Immortal Kingdom want to do to stop such a powerful force?
After knowing the news almost, I went outside the Imperial City and carefully observed everything around me.
At this time, a guard walked up and looked at me, with a hint of impatience in his eyes: "Go, go, go!" The Imperial City is not a place where ordinary people can come, and this time you are a first-time offender, so I will not pursue it. Don't show up in front of me next time! ”
My brow furrowed slightly, but I didn't care.
The power of the Imperial City is stronger than I imagined, so forcibly breaking into the Imperial City is not a very easy thing for me to do. I took a few steps back, then shook my head slightly and walked away.
Suddenly, I thought of the other two spirit roots, if it is said in this way, the Heavenly Venerable of this immortal tree should be no weaker than the existence of the Queen Mother of the West.
If he doesn't nod, it will be extremely difficult for me to get the fruit of this immortal tree.
When I think about this, I feel a kind of trickiness.
After thoroughly understanding the situation here, I returned to the undead tree, this time, under the undead tree, another old man appeared, the old man looked like he was about to die, raised his head and looked at me, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "Also new?" ”
"Hmm!" I nodded: "How long has it been since Senpai came?" ”
"About a year!" The old man laughed, as if he was very happy: "Under the immortal tree, everyone can stay, but the immortal tree is forbidden to guard, and ordinary people have no way to get close." But over the past year, my body has been getting better and better, and I look younger and younger. It's just a pity that if I want to continue like this, I'll have to stay here! ”
As he spoke, the old man's eyes showed a hint of longing, as if he was missing his distant family.
I nodded, and it was.
If you just rely on the aura emitted by the immortal tree, it can indeed make people refresh and rejuvenate. But again, once you leave, this aura will gradually dissipate. If you really want to solve this problem once and for all, then the only way to do it is to get the fruit of the undead tree.
But the people of the royal family firmly controlled the fruit, and ordinary people probably didn't even have the opportunity to see it, let alone get it.
"Do seniors know if there is a way to get the immortal fruit?" I paused for a moment, then asked softly.
The old man glanced at me and laughed: "It's not so easy to get that thing, but it's not completely impossible, there are only two ways to get it, one is to take it alive, and the other is to join the royal family!" ”
"Join the royal family?" My brow furrowed slightly: "The royal family can still join?" ”
"That's nature." The old man laughed before he continued: "In order to appease people's hearts, the people of the royal family have set a test, but if they can get through, they can join the royal family and get an immortal fruit, but from ancient times to the present, only one person has succeeded!" ”
