CHAPTER XXXVI

It's noon, and all the markets in town have opened early. The streets are full of people coming and going, and the cries are endless.

"It's so beautiful!" Yue Ling broke away from Xiao Sheng and his group, and ran towards a stall selling trinkets with a cheerful face. Looking at Yue Ling's eyes staring intently at those handmade wooden ornaments, Xiao Sheng suddenly felt that Yue Ling's heart was actually not as strong as it seemed on the surface.

Tie Lin watched this scene, and although he didn't speak, he could feel that he was now treating Yue Ling as his mischievous little granddaughter. He habitually reached into his pocket, but something in his pocket seemed to remind him.

"Ah, it's so old that I forgot they came from outside. Tie Lin sighed to himself, and at the same time walked towards Xiao Sheng, handing him a small bag from his coat pocket.

"This is?" Xiao Sheng opened his pocket and found that there were many wooden discs inside, and took out one to see, which was engraved with the head of a heart beast, as well as exquisite and complicated patterns.

"It's the currency of our town. Tielin said. "Since that Moon Spirit girl wants to buy jewelry, this thing must be indispensable!"

"This ...... How can you be embarrassed to accept it?" Although Xiao Sheng was short of money in real life, he had never taken unearned property. Now, if he wants to accept this kind of money, Xiao Sheng is really not used to it.

"Since it's a guest, you should accept it. Besides, you're still the savior of Eli, so it's even more so. Speaking of this, Mayor Tielin suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Besides, you don't want to disappoint that girl!"

Xiao Sheng's heartbeat accelerated a little when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Tie Lin, who was solemn and rigid on the surface, still knew a trace of romance.

"Good...... Okay, thank you!" Xiao Sheng accepted hesitantly.

Xinya and Xi Yan looked at each other, and then secretly laughed behind Xiao Sheng.

"Brother, I feel that Brother Xiao Sheng is not the same as usual!" Mu'er, who was watching silently from the side, said to Ai Li.

"Uh...... You don't understand this, but you'll understand it when you grow up. Eli laughed.

Xiao Sheng took a breath, and under the gaze of Tie Lin, Xinya and others, he walked towards the moon spirit who was happily choosing accessories.

After paying for Yue Ling, Xiao Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It is the first time for Xiao Sheng to come up with ideas to buy things for the opposite sex. Yue Ling is also really, and Xiao Sheng has to choose the best-looking jewelry for her.

Looking at the short necklace around Yue Ling's neck, although it was made of wood, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but feel a little imaginary when he remembered the happy look on Yue Ling's face when he brought it.

Of course, Xinya and Xiyan also received gifts from the moon spirit, but one was a group of four foot rings, and the other was a collar.

Looking at Xinya's disdainful looks, Xiao Sheng really felt unfortunate for them. After a long time together, the moon spirit really treats them as pets!

Once you've had fun, it's time to get back to business. Xiao Sheng and the others set off again with Mayor Tielin.

"Xiao Sheng, I don't know where you are going with these people?" While visiting the town, Mayor Tielin and Xiao Sheng chatted.

"It's true. Xiao Sheng thought there was no need to hide, so he told the truth. "We want to go to the heart of this Hart Forest, but we don't know where it is. ”

"Here it is. Tie Lin's words almost didn't make Xiao Sheng jump in fright. It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

"It's not like it at all!" Xiao Sheng calmed down a little and said his question.

"See that tree?" Tie Lin said, pointing to the sky not far away.

"Well, indeed, in this Hart Forest, it's very different. ”

"It's not just different, it's the mother of the whole Hart Forest!" Tie Lin looked up at the tree, his eyes full of awe, but also a little longing.

"Mother?" Not only did Xiao Sheng not understand, but even Xi Yan, the indigenous inhabitant of Hart Forest, touched his head and didn't understand.

"In the beginning, there was only one tree in this Hart Forest. The tree grew and multiplied, sowing seeds all over the ground in the barren Hart Forest, and these seeds took root and sprouted, forming the Hart Forest centered on this tree. In honor of this tree, our ancestors gave it a name, the Ancestral Source Tree. Miraculously, although the offspring of the ancestral tree began to diverge, the ancestral tree still maintained its majestic growth. Until now, the Ancestral Source Tree is still heading towards a higher firmament. ”

"Then this ancestral tree, isn't it tens of thousands of years old?" Xiao Sheng looked at the big tree that was approaching the sky and exclaimed.

"That's right. And about it, there is a legend of a treasure. When Tie Lin said this, his face seemed to be a little wrong, and there seemed to be something else in his long-lived eyes. That kind of thing, it's very disturbing.

"Could it be the legend that caused the Aili brothers and sisters to fall into misfortune?" Letting go of the strangeness in his heart, Xiao Sheng speculated.

"Well, that's right. Tielin nodded. "Regarding the treasure, though, there's a place in town that might have something to do with it. ”

"In town?" Xiao Sheng asked.

"It's called Kinokan, and everyone in the town knows it. Although the entrance is made of wood, no one has opened the entrance since the town was built, and no one has been able to destroy it, so no one knows what is hidden behind the entrance. Tielin explained.

"The entrance of the wood, it looks very valuable!" Xiao Sheng thought silently in his heart.

"Mayor Tielin, can you let us take a visit?" Xiao Sheng requested.

"Since I'm going to take you on a tour of the whole town, then of course this wooden entrance can't be an exception!" Tie Lin's cheerfulness was unexpectedly surprising.

"Brother, are you going to that place again?" Mu Er, who was behind Xiao Sheng, asked Ai Li softly, with a little reluctance in his voice.

"Since Xiao Sheng's benefactor wants to go, if we let the family disappoint the fun, this is not kind! Mu'er, don't be afraid, although strange phenomena will happen as soon as you arrive at the Muzhi Entrance, the Muzhi Portal will not hurt you. And with my brother here, I won't let you get hurt!" Ai Li comforted Mu'er.

"Hmm. Mu'er nodded sensibly.

"Then let's go!" Xiao Sheng, who hadn't heard the conversation between the two Aili siblings, set off towards the entrance of the wood with great interest.

"What...... Feeling?!" Although it was only for a moment, Xinya vaguely felt that there seemed to be a large number of heart beasts in this town.

"But how is that possible?" said Xinya, who thought she was hallucinating, and comforted herself. So many heart beasts can get along in harmony, and they can't do it without strong ability and organizational skills.

didn't take it to heart, Xinya followed Xiao Sheng to observe the mysterious wooden entrance.

Somewhere underground in the town, it seems to have the breath of life, powerful and numerous.
