Peach Wood Sect, Peach Blossom Valley.

Today is the middle of April. Peach blossoms bloom in the Peach Blossom Valley. Peach blossoms are brilliant and fragrant everywhere.

The rolling mountains on both sides of the Peach Blossom Valley block the cold wind in the northwest, making the Peach Blossom Valley warm like spring. A clear spring flows slowly in the valley. The banks of the creek are full of peach trees. The peach blossoms bloom like a sea of pink.

In the middle of the valley there is only one majestic ancient tree, independent and proud.

This tree is unlike any other, it has a straight and ancient trunk. The trunk of the ancient tree is four or five meters high, three or four sides thick, and countless branches hang down lightly, like a willow tree and a peach tree, to be precise, it is a mutated willow, but the whole tree can find many characteristics of peach trees. The crown of this tree is tens of square meters, and there are flowers on the branches, and judging by the characteristics, it is a peach blossom, not a willow flower. But the pistils are new, as if they have just bloomed.

As soon as the morning dawned, the mouth of the valley was bustling with a large crowd of people. This group of people, all wearing pink robes, all smiling, looking happy, seemed to have something very good.

After Yu Mu woke up, he saw such a picture in the first scene in his mind. He was still immersed in the taste of the bowl of Meng Po soup, and when he suddenly saw such a scene, he couldn't help but react for a while.

uh~ How can I remember my past life???

Everyone walked straight to the old tree in the middle. The first three, two men and one woman, are all white-haired old men. The old man in the middle was about 70 years old. His face was red, and his joy was palpable.

As he strode forward, he smiled and said to another old man, "Elder, it is a great pleasure that the sacred tree that protects religion is in full bloom today. It must be time for us to send gangs to prosper. Hahaha......"

The old man seems to be more than ten years older than the middle. He's 80 years old, but he's also full of energy. He also smiled and said, "The patriarch's words are just in line with the current situation of our clan. Tao Mu Sect has a history of nearly 3,000 years. The rise and fall of the Taomu Sect, compared to today, seems to have never flourished. This comes from the blessing of the Divine Tree, and the second is the protection of our sect. All three are the contributions of your wise leadership. ”

"Ah~" The patriarch said with a big smile in one hand: "The elder is so famous, I don't dare to take this honor......"

Two people said that behind the crowd, ran two 3,4-year-old children. The pair of children, a man and a woman, are particularly cute with pink and jade carvings.

The children were noisy and rubbed their parents' arms. The girls did not show weakness and were not willing to hold the old man. These people are in a good mood. They were even happier when they were quarreled by these two little children.

The patriarch stopped and bent down. He looked at the child's face dotingly and said, "Jin'er, you can't make a fool of yourself today." Today is the grand ceremony of the peach wood sect to worship the sacred tree. Listen honestly to your parents. When you worship the sacred tree for a period of time, you must sincerely receive the blessings of the sacred tree. ”

"Hmm~" The boy nodded smartly. Although he didn't know the meaning of his grandfather's words in his young heart, he rarely saw his grandfather talking to himself so seriously, so he naturally didn't dare to be naughty anymore.

His grandfather also told the girl. At this time, two women came out of the crowd and led the two children back into the crowd.

The two elders looked at the children kindly, stood up and continued walking.

"God willing, Jin Eryuer is the best and most talented couple I have ever seen since I joined the clan. I am afraid that another enlightened person will come out of our sect, which is exactly in line with the meaning of the flowering of the sacred tree today. ”

"The old man said it well. Three thousand years ago, Master Daozu knew the Tao under the sacred tree and founded the Taomu School. A hundred years later, the old man saw that the tree was sprouting, then he was inspired, and finally he succeeded. To date, it has been granted the protected religion of the sacred tree, which continues to this day. For 3,000 years, I have been two disciples of Taoism. I don't know how many young talents have come to understand Taoism under the sacred tree. Alas, what a pity......" stopped talking and shook his head secretly.

The elder's words made the patriarch smile again: "Yes, I am narrow-minded. In the future, I will add some incense to the sacred tree to make up for my disrespect. After speaking, the ancestor said to the person next to him, "Qiu Xian, have you replied from the Daomen?"

Qiu Xian lowered his head slightly and said, "Go back, the master will personally lead the people to worship." ”

"Ah! Daozong is here. I'm afraid he hasn't shown his face in nearly a thousand years, hasn't he?" the patriarch seemed a little surprised.

The old man smiled and said, "It's not surprising that the Divine Tree is blooming, let alone the old man." Even if the Taoist ancestors who had lived in seclusion for many years knew this, they would probably come to pay their respects. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the sky and smiled mischievously.

People can't help but smile. In general, Lao Zhuang is very strict. It's rare to see such a relaxed attitude. It also reflects the joy of the elderly.

All the way down to the ancient trees. When they came to the ancient tree, people consciously stopped laughing and became solemn and respectful one by one.

In front of the tree there is a ten-meter-long altar. Although it looks like it has been a long time and there are traces of frequent sacrifices, it is clean.

Sacrifices were placed on the altar. After the incense candles were lit, the ancestors and elders led the whole group to kneel and worship. There are more than 100 people in this group. It's spectacular to get on your knees.

After kneeling, they did not stand up. The patriarch took out a sacrificial article and began to recite it. All the people chanted in unison. Obviously, everyone is familiar with this sacrificial article. I don't know how many times I memorized it.

What's more, he wakes up to find himself transformed into a big tree. Although I have all the memories of my past life, I can't do anything, I can't talk or move. No one can calm down in this strange situation. with the human mind, but with the body of the trees. For the first time, Yu Mu felt like he was crazy.

He became a real plant-man!!

Fortunately, God didn't kill him completely. Although he took away his body, he gave him another ability, perception!

Although he has no eyes or ears, he can clearly feel the scenery and sounds around him even when the breeze blows from the trees. Just can't move. It's deadly.

The commemoration was solemn, but it will come to an end. The worshippers walked away. Yu Muji wanted to yell at these people, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

The valley was empty, and only the old trees were left alone, and everything had fallen silent.

Yu Mu is going crazy. The loss of freedom and loneliness is the most unbearable pain of human beings, but he also feels it.

As night fell, something even more terrible happened. Yu Mu found that he didn't need to sleep at all. How will he spend the long night?

Boredom, loneliness. Yu Mu wants to spend all his time playing, but he has to constantly reminisce about his miserable life.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the canopy of the trees, Yu Mu found out for the first time that the sun that had no place to block his work was so lovely.

When the sun rises, many people come to the valley. These men cleaned the valley, decorated the altars, and washed the whole valley with clear spring water to see if any big people came. Sure enough, the great man came

Volume I, Chapter 5, Peachwood Road

At the same time, the same clothes, the same direction, a large group of people came. The difference is that the anger of this group of people is shocking.

Today, people have an invisible spirit that they dare not look at directly. The other two, the patriarch and the elder, are the generation of Xuanhe. They are like a big mountain.

This time, only the two elders of the patriarch came to accompany them. The wife and deputy patriarch were not accompanied. It can be seen that the identity of the visitor is noble.

At the front was a personable, radiant old man. His big sleeves fluttered in front of everyone. As soon as I entered the valley, I saw the peach blossoms of the ancient tree in the valley.

The old man was very happy: "The sacred tree has really bloomed, it has been three thousand years! Speaking of this, the old man twitched his nose and said, "There is a faint aroma of wine in the flowers, and the fruit is particularly unique. ”

The nearby master also took a few deep breaths, and found no peculiar smell except for the fragrance of flowers. But he knew that the great man would not deceive him, and that the others who were with him were equally intoxicated. When he looked at Shenmu again, he felt even more respect.

The leader obviously found the ancestor's movements, and said with a smile: "Zijie, this is the spirit of Xuan Ling, ordinary people can't smell it. ”

"Zijie, you don't have to be discouraged. Like you, I am also an ordinary disciple of the Brahmanic Sect. I've been cultivating under the sacred tree for decades. Fortunately, Shenmu blessed me with a glimpse of Taoism and cultivation of nature. It's been more than a thousand years now. Unfortunately, talent is limited. So far, cultivation has reached its limits. It's hard to move forward. But he also coveted the holiness of his ancestors, so he did not dare to rest for a moment. Although I have lived for more than a thousand years, there is not a day when I will wait for the happiness of mortals like you. Cultivators have long been ignorant of human nature. Once he attains enlightenment, he will not be an ordinary person!" the patriarch listened sincerely. He could only say yes, but he didn't dare to say more.

When the old man said this, he was very sad and sighed again. If you can't go to the gods, you'll be feathered one day. Now that the Tao is blocked, even if the Tao is different, the days are only a few days longer. Alas, what can I do!"

After that, he stopped paying attention to them and strode alone. All the people followed and stopped talking, especially the juniors. Everyone looks lonely. Obviously, the words of the elders touched the hearts of these people.

A group of people came to the ancient tree and began to worship.

Today's worship ceremony is more solemn than yesterday, the Peach Blossom Valley is full of smoke, and the voice of the gods is even more excited. But the atmosphere was serious.

At the end of the service, the people left, leaving only two important figures of the Tao to discuss important matters.

"Zijie. The old man called to the patriarch.

"I'm here. ”

"From today, you have sealed off Peach Blossom Valley and made it a forbidden place. No one can enter. ”

"As my ancestors commanded. ”

"Yes, I remember. "In the future, this place will once again become a place for the disciples of the Daofan Second School to understand the Tao, so we can't be sloppy. I also want to build a transport array here. The first is to facilitate the passage of disciples, and the second is to protect the safety of the sacred tree. ”

Zijie was very happy to hear that he was able to establish this connection with the Taoist clan, which had countless benefits for his clan. According to the history of the clan, there was a firing array here, but it was abandoned 500 years ago.

The old man also said, "When I go back, I will send the selected materials here to cultivate." I see you have a few pieces of good material under your door. Let those two little ones come. When they are young, they can get the blessing of the Divine Tree and get more aura when they come into contact with the Divine Tree. I will ask the Taoist disciples to give me some advice, which will be of great help to them. If I succeed in my practice in the future, it will also help my Taoism. ”

"Thank you for your grace. The patriarch and the elders were overjoyed. They knelt down and prostrated their heads.

This is God's blessing.

The two children are indeed rare geniuses in a hundred years, but they are only used by mortals. There are so many talents in the world being cultivated.

Even in Taoism, such talents are not uncommon. Otherwise, only a few people rely on the sacred tree to complete the path. I'm afraid the incense from that door has been cut off.

It is precisely because of the extraordinary achievements of the people who later became the Way of the Divine Wood that they praised the Divine Wood so much.

The so-called way is different. Although these two families share the same origins, they are like fish and water. But after all, there is a difference between ordinary people and Taoists, so it is actually a subordinate relationship. If not created by the same person, most of the Taoist masters come from various sects. Like the Mahogany Sect, they are not the most famous sect of all the sects. How could they meet the Enlightened Immortals and be protected by them?

Under the great joy of the two elders of the patriarch, he immediately ordered to arrange for the sealing of the valley. The old man also took someone to arrange the launch array.

Everything in the world is new to Wood, and he's bored. Although he didn't know what these people said and did, he had been watching their every move with interest.

The old man chose a place not close to the ancient tree and began to arrange. These people are constantly using their magic to drive some glittering crystal stones, scrolls, talismans, and some strange things into the ground in different directions.

The firing array was laid out, but the ground was not damaged at all. However, Yu Mu could clearly feel the energy fluctuations emanating from there.

After all the arrangements, a Taoist disciple stood in the procession. The transmission array is filled with light. The disciple was gone. After a while, the disciples reappeared.

And this kind of operation? Yu Mu said that his 24K titanium alloy dog eyes were all blind.

If he can move the bricks back to the construction site now, it will be a good gift. At least he didn't have to bother his not-so-smart mind to work, and he didn't think he would miss moving bricks, which was really stumbling.

It wasn't until I remembered the two ancient poems I learned in elementary school that I turned white, and although the sky was already very bright, I couldn't see the sun. Early in the morning, it was drizzling in the valley. The fall of the raindrops creates a pink mist that makes the whole valley look like a wonderland.

The drizzle fell on the ancient tree, moistening its body and mind, like a trace of dew washing its body and mind, and the irritability of the night was removed.

When Yu Mu was having a good time as the second uncle, he saw the sect master leading the two children forward. He put the two children under the tree, explained what he had done, and turned away.

These two little ones without restraint are like two wild horses without reins. The whole valley was filled with the joyful laughter of children.

Yu Muda was very envious of seeing two cute and innocent children, and couldn't help but recall his childhood. I also had such a wonderful childhood. At that time, my father was still alive and my mother was healthy and happy. The family often went to the grandparents' house in the countryside to pick wild fruits and drink sweet springs, which was the taste of home.

Well, how does the taste of this house be sweet in spring!

Hey, you little devil, don't pee here! No, don't stop! Strange, I'm stunned, why don't you stop?

OMG!

It's really delicious. Bah, bah, bah, this thing can't be drunk.

It's so fragrant~~~
