In March in Zhongzhou, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and everything in heaven and earth is full of vitality.

When the peach blossoms are in full bloom, a light pink peach blossom blooms like snow stained by the sunset.

A lone peach hangs out of time on a branch, hidden under the petals of a flower.

It seems to have been hanging alone from the branch for a long time, but no one knows how long it has been.

Maybe it's because this peach tree has been going through an incomparably long time, and at some point, it gave birth to its own consciousness, and then, by constantly absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, it slowly learned to think and began to have memories.

In mortal terms, it became a refinement.

After having a memory, it began to try to communicate with everything around it, flowers, grasses, insects, fish, streams, rocks, frost and dew, but never received the slightest response.

Gradually, it began to get used to solitude and enjoy solitude, until one day, it saw the heavens and the earth change.

It was a vision of heaven and earth that would only be triggered when an immortal cultivator feathered and ascended to the immortal.

It has never been in contact with the world, and naturally does not know this, it is full of fear and awe of heaven and earth, and it hides its consciousness as much as possible in the roots buried deep in the ground, trying to protect itself with this.

A purple bolt of lightning fell from the sky and slashed straight at it, and it could feel the burning and stinging sensation coming from the top of the canopy.

But fortunately, he hid underground, and he didn't need to face the power of thunder and lightning directly.

A bolt of lightning fell, and it slashed at it with the same impartiality, which made the dryad a little puzzled why it was always himself who was unlucky.

But soon, it realized that the target of the thunder and lightning was not itself, but the small peach on the branch.

The dryad was a little angry, and shook the branches desperately, trying to shake the peach down. But the peach was like a person desperately clutching the life-saving straw, and no matter how hard the dryad tried, he couldn't throw the peach off.

The dryad gave up, and began to observe the peach carefully, and every time lightning fell on it, it caused the peach to tremble, and it seemed to feel pain.

The dryad was a little surprised, could it be that this peach also had its own consciousness?

This discovery made the dryad even more interested in peaches. It looked curiously at this tenacious and stubborn peach, so small in the heavens and the earth, and so helpless and thin in the thunderstorm.

The dryad couldn't remember when the peach appeared on its branch, at least longer than it remembered.

But it moved the compassion that only human beings can have, and with some distress, they closed their branches and leaves, and began to shelter the peaches from the wind and rain.

After the thunder and rain stopped, the heavens and the earth returned to peace. A rainbow hung high in the sky, but the dryad didn't see the quiet scene of the years, because of the severe pain, its consciousness collapsed......

Luoju, outside Jishitang.

The demon was also in a somewhat broken mood at the moment, listening to the old man's pretending to be mysterious and unknown, thinking that this person was either a liar or a madman, so he pulled Pujia away.

Unexpectedly, Pu Jia shook her head slightly, looked at the fortune teller with a solemn face and said, "If the heart is not the heart, what should you say?" ”

The old man said slowly: "Cause is not cause, effect is not effect, fate is reincarnated, what is the way?" ”

"If cause and effect are not cause and effect, the way of heaven cannot be Tao, and you can live with or without heart." Pu Jia Road.

The old man smiled meaningfully and spread his palms towards Pu Jia.

Pu Jia took out a gold ingot from his arms and put it in the hands of the fortune teller, the old man smiled without saying a word, and stretched out his hand in front of the demon again.

"Old man, I don't have any money." The demon said embarrassedly.

The old fortune teller didn't seem to hear the demon's words, and still spread his palms, waiting for the demon to pay.

The demon directly picked up the gold ingot that was put on the old man's palm, changed it upside down, and put it back for the old man.

This time, with a meaningful smile in the old man's eyes, he put away the gold ingot.

"Girl, if your heart is not your heart, your life will not be your life. Heaven is not kind, and only affection can end. The old man cleared his throat, "Remember, remember." ”

The demon pretended to be suddenly enlightened and nodded, she just wanted to escape from this old fortune teller as soon as possible.

The old man always maintained that secretive smile, watching the two enter the door of Jishitang.

"One person, one demon, neither human nor demon. It's weird, it's weird. The old man looked at the backs of the two of them and muttered to himself.

The two demons walked through the empty square and came to the main hall. The decoration here is exactly the same as what the demon saw in Luan'er's memory, but the years that can't escape it have carved a few vicissitudes to every grass and thing here.

Outside the main hall, a boy standing with his hands hanging down received the two.

"Where did you come from, and why did you visit?" The boy asked, shaking his head.

"Zhongzhou, Mengzezong." Pu Jia replied.

"But Zhongzhou, south of Jiangzhou?" The boy continued.

"Exactly." Pu Jia Road.

"What are you talking about so far?"

"Coming for one."

"Who is Daoyou?"

"Master of Jishitang."

"The Taoist is strange, why do you want to go far away in order to see the hall master?" Xiao Tong looked puzzled.

"What do you mean by that?" Pu Jia asked.

"The hall master has been going to Jiangzhou for more than a month." Little Boy Road.

"Is there a steward in that church?" Pu Jia asked.

"The eldest disciple of the hall master is the one in charge." The boy replied.

"Can you bother the little friend to let me know." Pu Jia Road.

"It turns out that Daoyou not only seek the near and far, but also like to do more." Little Boy Road.

"What do you mean, little friend?" Pu Jia asked patiently.

"I'm the eldest disciple of the hall master, and Daoist friends also let me inform myself, isn't it redundant?" Little Boy Road.

Xiao Tong's words surprised the two of them a little, but soon Pu Jia spoke: "Since Xiaoyou is the person in charge, I will tell you about Daze." ”

Subsequently, Pu Jia told the child in front of him about what happened in Wanjianmen and their speculation about Xiangliu's follow-up.

After hearing this, the little boy shook his little head and thought for a moment, "The matter is very important, I will inform the master as soon as possible." ”

"If there is nothing else to do, our deal will be concluded." Xiao Tong stretched out his hand and continued, "After all, this is a matter of the world, and the price is a dream pearl. ”

The demon was stunned for a moment, and then recalled that the people of Tongji Shitang mentioned in Luan'er's memory had to pay a corresponding price for dealing with them.

"Isn't it a little expensive?" The demon frowned and whispered.

"It's not expensive, it's just enough to deliver the news." Little Boy Road.

As soon as the demon gritted his teeth, he was about to take out the dream bead in his arms, but was stopped by Pu Jia.

Pu Jia twisted a magic decision, and a small round stone appeared in the palm of his hand.

This stone seemed to be much smaller than his own, and when he saw the little boy taking the dream bead with a smile on his face, the demon didn't think much about it.
