Poor mulberry.

It is the name of an ancient country in the Southern Wilderness 10,000 years ago, and today, this ancient country has long been buried in the dust of history.

Since then, the poor mulberry is no longer the name of the country, but the name of a tree.

Xia Sheng opened his eyes and looked at the towering ancient tree close at hand, with a faint memory on his face.

There is also the joy of reuniting old friends.

He stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the trunk of the tree, as if he saw the time of ten thousand years going back, as if he felt a strong and powerful heartbeat, and the meaning of the long-lost close relatives.

"After so many years, you've grown up. ”

Xia Sheng's eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy, and the emotion in his words was embarrassing.

Although the poor mulberry has intelligence, it can't speak, but fortunately, even if it doesn't say anything, Xia Sheng can feel the grievances and loneliness in its heart.

So a trace of apology flashed on Xia Sheng's face, and he spoke again: "I'm sorry, it took so long to come to see you." ”

The breeze blew, and the green leaves fluttered in the reflection of the silver moon, like a young girl shaking her head gently.

Ten thousand years is a long time, but compared to the incomparably long journey of the tree of life, it is only a short period of time, which is roughly equivalent to the cardamom years of a human girl.

Of course, there is no distinction between male and female in the Tree of Life, but Xia Sheng prefers to see it as a young girl, perhaps because his wife also concluded an incomparably precious friendship with the Tree of Life at this age.

A man and a tree, in each other's best years, became friends with handkerchiefs, no matter how strange and absurd this matter seemed in the eyes of others, but at least for them, this is a kind of luck, but also a kind of most affectionate companionship.

Remember, it was the last time Emperor Jun went on his expedition, and before leaving, his wife handed him the precious tree of life tree seed, symbolizing the best wishes.

Unfortunately, she finally didn't wait for him to return home, so that she could die of a serious illness.

When Di Jun learned the news, he buried this tree seed in the soil, representing his concern for his wife and deep mourning.

On that day, Emperor Jun, who was sad and angry, turned into a long sword and cut off the horn of the ice armor horn demon dragon with one blow, and severely damaged his body and soul, and there was today's Sheephorn Lake.

10,000 years have passed, and today's Xia Sheng, by chance, revisited his hometown, and when he said goodbye to the poor mulberry, he was already a man and a person.

As if feeling the sadness in Xia Sheng's heart, Poor Sang gently hung down a branch and wrapped it around Xia Sheng's shoulders, like a hug for a reunion after a long absence.

Xia Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's been 10,000 years, it's time to let go, I've already let go, you don't have to be sad for me, birth, old age, sickness and death are originally the most ordinary and ordinary things in the world, only I, a person cursed by fate, can't fall into reincarnation, but because of this, I can reunite with you today, which is something to be happy about." ”

Hearing this, the poor mulberry gradually raised the branches on his body and spoke straight to the sky, as if he was sketching a shallow smile in the night sky.

Xia Sheng felt the incomparably vigorous vitality coming from the trunk of the tree, and couldn't help but say with some surprise: "It stands to reason that 10,000 years is enough for you to grow into a supreme-level spirit tree, why haven't you been able to break through the bottleneck of the king level until now?"

Hearing this, the thousands of branches and leaves on Poor Sang's body suddenly stood up like a fried cat, making people feel endless anger and deep helplessness.

After a while, Xia Sheng's eyebrows twisted into pimples, and he said in a deep voice: "You mean, in this forest, there is also a strange lizard egg that has been stealing nutrients from the ground?"

At this moment, Xia Sheng was a little curious, what kind of lizard egg could compete with the tree of life for ten thousand years?

I'm afraid it's not an ordinary product......

Thinking of this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but be a little moved, and said, "In that case, you take me to have a look." ”

Poor Sang suddenly became elated, after being bullied by that rotten egg for thousands of years, finally someone was willing to help him out of his anger, see if that guy still dares to come and grab resources from him, hum!

The next moment, three poor mulberry leaves fluttered down from the treetops, like dancing green saucers, spinning in front of Xia Sheng's eyes, so light.

Xia Sheng smiled in his eyes, followed the three green leaves, and walked towards the depths of the Forgotten Forest.

However, just after taking half a step forward, Xia Sheng paused again, as if he suddenly thought of something, turned back to Qian Sang and said: "By the way, it was my friend who came in with me just now, don't embarrass them, especially since there is a genuine sword emperor inside, if you annoy him, I'm afraid it won't end well." ”

After speaking, Xia Sheng took another step forward, and soon disappeared into the long moonlight.

At the same time, the phantom array in front of Ye Xiao'e, Shui Er, and Tam Dali was instantly shattered, and Ye Xiao'e's face was full of confusion, and she didn't know what had happened just now.

Tam vigorously rushed in front of Shui Er with an arrow step, the long knife in his hand flashed with a palpitating cold light, and his eyes flashed with incomparable vigilance.

"Miss, is there anything wrong?"

Shui'er shook her head and said suspiciously, "...... was that just now?"

Ram Dali frowned and said, "I don't know, some of them are like those phantom demons in the South China Sea, but they are different, anyway, we need to be very careful next." ”

Ye Xiao'e nodded as if she didn't understand, and suddenly exclaimed, "What about Brother Asheng?"

Shui Er's face was also tight, but he was much calmer than Ye Xiao'e, and said continuously: "Don't panic! That stinky rascal is much more sophisticated than us, and he may have sensed that something was wrong at the beginning, so he cracked the illusion in advance and went forward." ”

As he spoke, Shui Er turned his head and said vigorously: "Dali, you open the road in front, if you find something wrong, don't rush in, be sure to make sure every step is steady and steady!"

Tam nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

After saying this, a cyan sword light that was brighter than the stars and the moon suddenly rose on his body, unscrupulously illuminating this dark night forest, and also making Shui'er and Ye Xiao'e feel an incomparable sense of security.

In the following time, the three of them traveled extremely slowly, and it took about an hour to reach the center of the Forgotten Forest.

With Xia Sheng's explanation in advance, Poor Sang did not try to obstruct everyone's footsteps, and everything went smoothly.

But before he could see the towering tree in the middle of the forest, a fierce fighting sound suddenly came from the southeast of the forest.

A bright white horn rises into the air, and there is a faint layer of apricot yellow glow wrapped outside, like a prosperous fireworks, reflecting the southeast corner of the forgotten forest as bright as day!

Tam Da subconsciously clenched the long knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's His Royal Highness King Ning!"

Shui'er's eyes also flashed with disbelief, but she bit her lip tightly and remained absolutely silent, not saying a word.

Seeing this, Tam Dali couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said again: "Miss!"

After a while, seeing that the light on the jade horn in the sky was getting dimmer and dimmer, as if it would be dimmed at any time, Shui Er finally made up her mind and said, "Let's go, go and see!"

Tam Dali pulled the long knife in his hand, and nodded solemnly: "Yes!"
