Chapter 40: The Immortal Tree

Shi Ziling passed through the garden on the way to the backyard, remembering the hug and kiss with Xiaohui under the sudden heartbeat in the garden that day, and unconsciously stopped, and a tenderness rippled in his heart.

He suddenly thought that Xiao Hui had made a wish under a tree, and called this tree "fairy tree", although he felt strange at the time, but he didn't have time to ask carefully, at this time, he remembered for a while, and he didn't feel moved by curiosity, so he found the fairy tree.

At this time, it was June, and the sky was still dark after dinner, and Shi Ziling quickly found the fairy tree in the garden with the impression of that day. When you look closely, this fairy tree seems to be just a larger ginkgo tree, and although it is leafy, there is nothing wonderful about it.

Shi Ziling stepped forward and gently patted the trunk of the tree. It's also strange to say, when his palm touched the trunk of the tree, a slight chill came into the palm, and the Extreme Yang True Yuan in Shi Ziling's body immediately gave birth to an induction, and also separated a trace of warmth to the palm, fused with the chill from the trunk, and suddenly felt an indescribable Shutai pleasure.

That feeling was the same as the magical "Dead Night Token" that I had just gotten before, but the chill from the token was a little stronger.

However, since Shi Ziling held the "Dead Night Token" in Deyue Tower for seven days and seven nights, the chill on the token no longer appeared, and the magic contained in the original token seemed to have been completely integrated with Shi Ziling's own spiritual power and true yuan after these seven days and seven nights.

That is to say, now in this 'Dead Night Token', not only preserves the original magical power, but also preserves part of the true element and spiritual power of Shiziling itself.

Now whenever Shi Ziling holds this "Dead Night Token" in his hand again, he will feel that the token is like an extension of his body, as if he is a part of himself, but the cold feeling after the token is no longer there.

What I didn't expect was that now on this ginkgo tree in this back garden, Shi Ziling found the strange feeling he had when he first got the "Dead Night Token".

Shi Ziling secretly thought that if he had mental overdraft in the future, maybe holding this ginkgo tree and sleeping would have unexpected effects.

He then tried the other trees on the side, but he didn't feel anything, and just as he was admiring the magic of this ginkgo tree, he saw a delicate figure walking towards him from a distance. At first glance, it was none other than Xiaohui.

Shi Ziling's heart moved, and he immediately held his breath and quietly retreated into the shadows behind the tree.

Xiao Hui slowly walked under the ginkgo tree, sighed leisurely, and didn't speak, just gently hugged the ginkgo tree, put her forehead on the trunk, and silently closed her eyes.

Although Shi Ziling didn't understand what Xiao Hui was doing, looking at her petite figure, he remembered the tenderness and sweetness between the two of them under the tree that day, and couldn't help but stand up from behind the tree.

When Xiao Hui heard the voice, she hurriedly opened her eyes, and saw the person who had been haunted by her for many days standing in front of her, so she hurriedly closed her eyes again, and said: "Fairy tree, fairy tree, I really dreamed of Childe......"

"So you like to dream about this ginkgo tree?"

Shi Ziling gently hugged Xiao Hui's small waist from behind, and asked softly in her ear.

Xiao Hui's delicate body trembled slightly, slowly turned around, broke open her eyes to look at the Shiziling in front of her, and said in a trembling voice: "Is it really Gongzi, am I not dreaming?"

"Whether it's a dream or not, try it and you'll find out. Shi Ziling lowered his head as he spoke, and gently kissed Xiao Hui's soft cherry lips.

The lips touched, Xiao Hui sighed, and her delicate body fell softly into Shi Ziling's arms. The two kissed passionately, completely forgetting where they were.

After a long time, Shi Ziling caressed Xiao Hui's pretty face, and said softly: "I was about to go to the backyard to visit you and Miss Yulan, passing through this back garden, I suddenly remembered the fairy tree you mentioned last time, and I wanted to come and see what magic this fairy tree is, but I didn't expect you to come." ”

Xiao Hui raised her head and looked at Shi Ziling, and pouted: "Childe suddenly has no news for several days, everyone speculates that Childe's old illness has recurred, where he can't wake up! Miss and I are very worried, and finally today came the news of Childe's safe return, but I have never seen Childe come to the backyard to visit Miss, and people are anxious, so they came to Xianshu." ”

"From childhood to adulthood, no matter what troubles I have, I will tell this fairy tree. At the mention of this immortal tree, Xiao Hui's expression seemed very serious.

Shi Ziling was very curious, and immediately asked about the origin of this immortal tree.

Xiao Hui thought for a moment and replied, "I had this tree in the garden when I was very young, but it wasn't as tall or big as it is now. I heard that it was a tree sent by a Taoist priest from the traveling side, saying that this tree has the effect of warding off evil spirits, and it has been planted in this garden since then. ”

"As for whether this tree can ward off evil spirits, everyone doesn't know what to do, anyway, this tree doesn't need special care, so it will naturally grow taller and bigger. It's been a long time, and everyone doesn't care much about it. ”

"Then how do you call it the Immortal Tree?" Shi Ziling asked.

"Well, I remember when I was eight years old, I had a strange illness, my whole body was hot, I didn't want to eat all day long, I saw a few doctors, and I took a lot of medicine to no avail. I remember that night I felt so uncomfortable that I wanted to die, so I ran to this garden alone, hugged this fairy tree and cried. ”

"Strange to say, when I hugged this tree and cried, I felt that my body was not so hot, and when I finished crying, I felt that the whole person seemed to be better, but I was still a little hungry. ”

"I had been unable to eat for several days, and I was looking for something to eat when I saw some white fruits under the tree. I didn't think much of it, I grabbed it and ate it. After eating the fruit, I fell asleep against the tree in a daze. ”

"Strangely, when I woke up the next day, my illness was cured. When I told the lady and the lord about it, they didn't believe it, because the tree never bears fruit. Over the years, no one has ever seen this tree bear fruit. ”

"They all said I was burned, but I was cured and everyone was happy. Although everyone didn't believe that it was this tree that saved me, in my heart, I always knew that this was a fairy tree. Every time I have something on my mind, as long as I say it to the fairy tree, or hug the fairy tree and cry, I feel much better. Childe, you say, isn't this an immortal tree, what is it?"

Shi Ziling's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "Is the white fruit you ate the size of an egg that day, melts in your mouth, and has no pits in it?"

"Hey, Childe, how do you know that Dao, have you ever eaten that kind of fruit?" asked Xiao Hui in surprise.

"Do you remember the taste of this fruit?" asked Shi Ziling thoughtfully.

"Well, remember, it smells faint and has an indescribable fragrance. After entering the mouth, it melted all at once, as if it was cool, a little sticky, and every time I think about it now, I still drool. Unfortunately, this fruit has not been seen since. ”

Xiao Hui smiled embarrassedly.

"How many are there?"

"Five, eat them all. Xiaohui replied.

"Strange to say, this fairy tree has never borne fruit, but if it hadn't fallen from the tree, where did the fruit I ate come from that day? Sometimes I wonder if I was dreaming that day? Tell me, Childe, have you ever seen this kind of ginkgo fruit?"

Xiao Hui also looked a little puzzled.

"Well, although I haven't seen it, I have seen a record of the 'Ruthless Fruit' in a book, saying that this fruit is extremely rare, and it is a rare holy relic for people who practice some kind of special **. ”

"This thing grows on the 'ruthless tree', does not bloom, and bears fruit directly, but the time from fruiting to ripening is very short, and even if it is ripe, if it is not taken in time for half an hour, it will have no effect. ”

"By the way, it is said that this 'ruthless tree' resembles a normal ginkgo tree, so it is usually not noticeable, and there is no law at all about how many years it bears fruit, and many trees may not bear fruit until they die. Even if some bear fruit, if you don't eat it in time, it has no effect, even if you eat it in time, if you don't practice a special **, I'm afraid it will be harmful. ”

What Shi Ziling said was what he saw from Kato Eagle's "Dementor **" cheatbook. It is recorded that in order to practice the "Dementor **" to the extreme, in addition to extraordinary talent and acquired hard practice, there must also be two treasures to help, which are respectively the "Dead Night Token" and "Ruthless Fruit".

The "Ruthless Fruit" is extremely rare, on the one hand, the "Ruthless Tree" is difficult to find, and even if it is found, there is only one in ten thousand that can really bear fruit that is beneficial to practice.

Kato Eagle searched for the "Ruthless Fruit" for many years but to no avail, so he had to retreat to the second, using the Tianshan Snow Lotus with similar performance, and finally had to use two copies of the diagram of the "Nine Yuan Customs Clearance" to exchange two Tianshan Snow Lotus from Tongtian Sect Master Li Yuan, before he barely practiced the "Dementor **" to the fullest.

It's just that the efficacy of Tianshan Snow Lotus is more than a step worse than that of the "Ruthless Fruit", which makes Kato Eagle's "Dementor **" always have fatal flaws that cannot be completely remedied.

Coincidentally, he encountered the freak Shiziling who was born out of thin air by the crocodile pool under the Goddess Peak, and when he used the still flawed "Dementor **" to deal with Shiziling, he was tragically counterattacked, and died on the spot.

This "ruthless fruit" can be said to be the best treasure for those who practice "dementoring**", but it is not only useless for ordinary people, but harmful to ordinary people. Unexpectedly, Xiao Hui was sick with a fever when she was young, and she ate as many as five of them by chance, and she was cured from the disease.

Shi Ziling wondered in his heart, it is said that ordinary people will have symptoms of poisoning when they eat this "ruthless fruit", why did Xiaohui not only have nothing to do, but also cured her illness?

Xiao Hui saw that Shi Ziling was silent in thought, and she didn't bother him, just snuggled tightly and pressed her head to his chest. For her, being able to snuggle up to her beloved is nothing more than what she wants.

Shi Ziling thought about it, Xiao Hui skillfully ate the "ruthless fruit", maybe he will have some unexpected help in the cultivation of "soul dementor" in the future, and he is afraid that he will not be able to talk to Xiao Hui so much for a while, so it is better to visit Yu Yulan first.

Shi Ziling picked up Xiao Hui's pretty face and kissed it gently, and said, "I'll talk about the ruthless fruit and this immortal tree later, I'd better go visit Miss Yu first." Otherwise, I'm afraid it's too late and inconvenient. ”

Xiao Hui suddenly said: "Ah, Miss heard that you are back, and she has been waiting for you to see her, I blame ......" said and her face was already covered with redness.

"I don't blame you, I blame me, I can't help but want to kiss you every time I see you. Shi Ziling patted his forehead as he spoke.

Xiao Hui blushed with joy, looked at Shi Ziling and whispered, "Me too." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then walked to the backyard together.
