Chapter 878: Farewell to the Sacred Tree
Behind the children, an old voice came out, and following the voice, an old man was walking towards the entrance of the village on crutches, followed by the slightly thinner boy, followed by a sturdy middle-aged man.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan Wen hurriedly turned around, looked at the old man, and looked at Shi Xiao again with a puzzled expression, squinting his eyes and thinking about something.
Before he could speak, Shi Xiao had already turned into a beam of light and disappeared in place, coming to the old man's body.
Everyone was surprised, just for a moment, they didn't even blink, Shi Xiao had already appeared in front of everyone.
The Xiao War Pattern widened his eyes even more, his heart trembled, he remembered something, and hurriedly came back to his senses and ran towards the old man.
"How good is the old man's health all these years?" Shi Xiao bowed his hand forward and greeted him respectfully.
The old man in front of him squinted his eyes, looked at Shi Xiao, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for so long, you are already such a powerful existence!" ”
Shi Xiao waved his hand, chuckled, took out a few bottles of pills and handed them to Xiao Zhan Wen, who was already standing beside the old man, and smiled: "The little guy hasn't seen him for a few years, but his cultivation has such an improvement, not bad... Holding these bottles of elixir is very important for your breakthrough..."
But before Shi Xiao finished speaking, everyone present had already knelt down, even the old man put down his crutches and knelt down.
Shi Xiao's face was pale, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help, but no one got up.
"Welcome to the village of Xiaotian Ancestor, the current village head Xiao Ning and three hundred and forty-four Xiao clan children welcome Xiaotian Ancestor!" The old man's voice trembled a little, and he said respectfully.
Shi Xiao didn't think that they already knew their identity, and it was no wonder that the divine tree was here, and it was inevitable.
Shi Xiao let out a long sigh and said slowly: "Let's all get up, I'm here this time to get ready to stay here for a few days, and get a good understanding of what happened at the beginning." ”
As he spoke, Shi Xiao urged the aura, and the men and women present all helped them up, and there seemed to be some kind of emotion in their eyes.
The people in front of him are really the same clan as him, even if they are not related by blood, the resonance that can be in the depths of the soul also makes Shi Xiao sigh.
Even Xiao Ning, the eldest of the Xiao clan village head, was extremely surprised when he learned Shi Xiao's identity, and to this day, the words that the divine tree said at the beginning still echoed in his ears.
"Ancestor, the war paint doll is not sensible, please don't blame him..."At this time, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a body behind Xiao Ning said apologetically.
This person is the strongest person of the younger generation in Xiaotian Village, and he is also the successor of the next head of Xiaotian Village, Xiao Qiang.
Shi Xiao smiled and waved his hand, "Isn't it also a relief to be able to see that the younger generation of my clan has such strength, all of you hurry up!" ”
As he spoke, Shi Xiao stepped forward to support Xiao Ning. An old man of such age knelt in front of Shi Xiao, and whatever he said was tormenting him.
The arrival of Shi Xiao was destined to liven up the prosaic village, and dozens of cooking smoke rose from the entire village, like dozens of gray pillars rising into the sky on this vast wasteland.
The village was jubilant and festive, the strong man went to the rear wasteland hunting area to hunt a few wild beasts, and the woman began to take on the task of cooking, and the whole village gathered together like a large family.
And the happy time is short-lived, and in the blink of an eye, it is already after dusk, and the village that has been jubilant for a day has begun to gradually quiet.
In the open space at the head of the village, groups of villagers gathered together, and their faces gradually showed tiredness after a day of fun, and a few people fell asleep while talking and laughing.
"Village Chief, it's not too early at this time, let's go back and rest, there are still a lot of things I want to ask you tomorrow!" Shi Xiao drank all the tea in his hand, looked at the side with a satisfied face, and said with a smile.
Xiao Ning nodded hurriedly, although he was on crutches and looked like he was in his twilight years, his movements were extremely flexible.
"It's really not early, the house has been arranged, please come with me!" Xiao Ning stood up as he spoke, and walked towards the village with Shi Xiao.
The bright moon rose quietly, the white moonlight spread the earth like silver, the old man walked in front, Shi Xiao followed behind, and met many villagers along the way, all of whom greeted respectfully.
"After you left, the Divine Tree spoke and told us who you really are, and years have passed in the blink of an eye... I can be regarded as looking forward to you..."The old man looked at a few dolls who were only five or six years old playing not far away, and said slowly.
"How has the Divine Tree been in recent years?" Shi Xiao asked.
The few tree species that the Divine Tree had given him at the beginning helped him a lot when he had obtained all the fire, and even guided him to that mysterious realm.
"Alas... A few years ago, not only why, but the originally leafy Divine Tree withered overnight, as if it had gone through countless years, and now it is still there, but it is no longer lifeless..."Xiao Ning let out a long sigh and shook his head and said.
Shi Xiao frowned slightly, he was still curious, when he first saw Xiaotian Village, the Divine Tree served as a natural barrier to protect the entire Xiaotian Village, but when he came over today, he didn't even feel the breath of the Divine Tree.
"After that night, the water of the lake around our village also changed, as if a powerful god was hidden, and instead of the sacred tree, continued to guard our village..."
As he spoke, the ancient tree appeared at the end of the road in front of him, which was very different from what Shi Xiao had seen at the beginning, and the ancient tree in front of him had been completely depleted, revealing the smell of decay and dilapidation, like an old man who had run out of oil and dried up his lamp.
Shi Xiao's heart trembled, his brows furrowed, and he rushed out with a dodge, came to the ancient tree, gently stroked the thick trunk, and injected aura, but he couldn't get any response.
"It's completely dead, without a breath of air... I'm afraid it's already an ordinary tree..."
Yuanyuan's heart also trembled, even if it had never seen the power of the Divine Tree, but with imagination, it was completely able to imagine the power of the Divine Tree.
Shi Xiao exhaled slightly and muttered, "The Divine Tree has run out of oil in order to prevent those desolate beasts from the Desolate Beast Realm from entering the upper and lower realms..."
When Shi Xiao went to that mysterious realm, it was when the Desolate Beast Realm was overflowing, and the Desolate Beast wanted to break through the seal and ravage the upper and lower realms, but in the end, under the obstruction of the Divine Tree, the Desolate Beast failed to do so, and then it was Shi Xiao who re-sealed the Desolate Beast Realm.
"Thank you..."
Shi Xiao stopped the injection of spiritual energy, waved his arm, shook slightly, and in an instant, the dry ancient tree seemed to be half rejuvenated, becoming golden and clear, flashing with countless brilliance, and gradually pulled out a thin bud, the whole body was crystal clear, and the breath was strong.
This strange sight immediately attracted the villagers to come and watch, and in their eyes, an ancient tree that had completely died was showing signs of recovery this time.
"Congratulations to the last leg of the sacred tree..."Shi Xiao muttered, echoing in everyone's ears, everyone is an action, that is, prayer and worship.
The whole village was strangely quiet at this time, and the people who were asleep woke up, looked in the direction of the sacred tree, and bowed down respectfully.
The whole body of the sacred tree flashed with golden light, the gold was clear, and the young shoots were more and more, and finally the entire giant tree was overgrown, and in the next second, the few roots of the ancient tree gradually turned into countless points of light, and finally drifted out.
With a gentle breeze, the entire giant tree turned into countless points of light in just a few breaths, drifting towards the dark sky, like a golden galaxy, drawing magnificent long marks in the air.
