Wu Xiu and You Meng'er got up early, and called Xing Shijia and Zhao Wanqing, although they have been here for a while, but they have not yet appreciated the style of this capital, the four of them slowly walked down the mountain, and the thought of having friends as companions to play in this Shaoyin City, the four of them were secretly refreshed.

Wu Xiu walked in front and said to the three of them: "Have you ever heard of this 'Zhenguo Tree' of our Shaoyang Kingdom, it is said that no one knows how tall it is yet. “

Xing Shijia shook his fan and said with a smile: "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it yet, or let's go and see it together." “

Wu Xiu has this intention, of course he is willing to accompany him, You Meng'er is not very good at this fun, just follow everyone to pass the time, Zhao Wanqing is not very interested in looking at a big tree, muttering: "What is so beautiful about a broken tree, it is better to go and see the juggling or something", Wu Xiu and the three of them just didn't hear it, and continued to walk in the direction of the 'Zhenguo Tree', Zhao Wanqing didn't want to be alone, so she could only follow the three of them.

Four people according to the instructions of people familiar with the road, came to a temple door, the original 'tree of the town' actually grew in this temple, the four people walked some steps, to the temple door, only to see the door plaque above the writing "Foguang Temple" three big characters, on both sides of the door are two stone pillars, the stone pillar has a couplet, on which it is written "tears are sour and blood salty, regret should not be spicy and sweet, only the world has no bitter sea; Golden and silvery, but when I saw the red eyes and black heart, I didn't know that there was a blue sky on my head. “

After reading it, Xing Shijia slapped his palm with a folding fan and shouted: "Using 'five flavors' to 'five colors', meaning 'colorless and tasteless', it responds to the Buddhist saying that 'hues are empty', which is really wonderful." “

Wu Xiu, You Meng'er nodded in approval after hearing this, only Zhao Wanqing looked disdainful, glanced at Xing Shijia, and said: "Your ability to chew and bite words, I think it is better to be a monk and chant scriptures every day." “

The four of them entered the temple and saw an endless stream of pilgrims inside, which showed the prosperity of this 'Foguang Temple', the surface of the temple was paved with the same color of marble, and all kinds of trees were planted on both sides, adding to the elegance and tranquility of the temple.

Wu Xiu said: "Since we are all here, why don't we go to a pillar of incense, my mother is a person who believes in Buddhism, seeing the Buddha statue in the Buddha hall, it reminds me of my mother, worship the Buddha statue, it can be regarded as a meager filial piety to my mother in the distance." “

Hearing this, Xing Shijia and Zhao Wanqing were overjoyed, in their eyes, "incense" was not only a sacred thing, but also a fun thing worth trying.

Only You Meng'er's face suddenly became gloomy, as if she was pricked by something, her brows furrowed violently, the word "mother" didn't seem to appear in her life, from the time she could remember things, it seemed that she was practicing martial arts under the teaching of her stepfather, until she came to Wu Xiu's side, she left the unfathomable man, and the mysterious force that in her opinion, could turn the world upside down and devour the sky.

Wu Xiu, Zhao Wanqing, and Xing Shijia walked in front, and no one noticed the slight changes in You Meng'er, You Meng'er settled down, tried not to let himself think about the previous things, and slowly followed them towards the Buddha Hall.

After the four of them finished the incense, they walked out of the Buddhist hall, and they happened to greet a white-bearded old monk in front of them, followed by two small novices, it seems that this old monk is not the host, but at least the first one. The old monk walked in front of the four of them, then stopped, looked back at Wu Xiu, took a few steps back, stood in front of Wu Xiu, and looked carefully.

Wu Xiu was embarrassed by him, and hurriedly looked away from the old monk's gaze, Xing Shijia hurriedly said: "Dare to ask the master, is there anything wrong?"

The old monk also realized his gaffe, smiled awkwardly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the old man just feels that this little benefactor is like an old friend of mine, so he took a few more looks", and bowed to Wu Xiu after speaking.

Zhao Wanqing snorted: "What an old man, a new man, there are more people who look similar in this world, he is still just a child, how can it be your old friend." “

The old monk only promised: "What the female benefactor said is true, my old man should be about forty years old now, but I have lost my eyes", the old monk was about to leave after speaking.

Wu Xiu was stunned for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly caught up with the old monk and asked, "Dare to ask the holy monk, what is the name of your deceased." “

The old monk clasped his hands together and said: "My old man has a single surname of 'Wu', and the name is 'Shiying', of course, he also has a nickname 'Wu Suo', does the little donor know my old man?"

Wu Xiu was secretly happy, thinking to himself, "This old monk looks extraordinary, and he has a childish face", he must be a wise man, it seems that he may know a little about the traces of his sixth uncle, and said with a smile: "He is my sixth uncle, whether the holy monk knows his whereabouts, I hope you will give me some advice." “

The old monk frowned, sighed and said: "It's not a secret, since he left a letter and left, I haven't heard of his whereabouts for more than ten years, since my old man is the sixth uncle of the little donor, a few donors will go to the cold house to eat a few cups of tea", after speaking, his left hand stretched out and made a gesture of please.

Wu Xiu heard the old monk say that he didn't know where his sixth uncle was, and he was inevitably disappointed, but in order to find out more information about his sixth uncle, he was very happy to talk to the old monk.

The old monk led the four of them to a wing room in the backyard, the wing room looks old and simple, but it also does not lose its elegance and charm, the old monk instructed the little novice to prepare a pot of good dragon well, the old monk sat on the futon, said to Wu Xiu: "The poor monk is called 'Huixian', is the host of this temple, I and your sixth uncle is acquainted in 20 years ago, when the neighboring country of Wupu 'Du'an Temple' of the 'Zhishang Zen Master' talked about Buddhism in my temple, no one in my temple can be right, it just so happens that your sixth uncle lives here idle, put the 'Zhishang Zen Master' Speechless, saved a little face of our 'Foguang Temple', the two of us chatted about speculation, and then became close friends, how could he have been gone for 16 years, which makes people sigh. “

The four of them were fascinated by what Wu Xiu listened to, and after listening to the 'Hui Xian' host, Wu Xiu hurriedly said: "Can the holy monk remember where he will go, and why he will leave." “

The old monk smiled slightly: "At first, the poor monk really didn't feel anything wrong, but he knew that the day before he left was just when he had just stepped into the realm of the integration of human and weapon in the Earth Martial Realm, I think this is too much of a coincidence." “

Wu Xiu fell into deep thought, he really couldn't think of what the disappearance of his sixth uncle would have to do with the realm of the integration of man and weapon in the earth martial realm, so he could only sigh helplessly: "I heard our dean Xiao Guang say that my sixth uncle once put something on the 'Zhenguo Tree', do you know about it?"

The old monk smiled slightly: "I know a little bit about this, that day was when he just arrived at the Diwu Realm, but there was no integration of human and weapon, he did put something in the 'Zhenguo Tree', for the destined people to get it, as for what to put it, only he himself, and the destined person knew." “

Wu Xiu sighed deeply, it seemed that the only clue was about to be broken again, and he took two sips of tea from the teacup in his hand.

Xing Shijia was inexplicably curious about this 'Zhenguo Tree', so he asked: "Dare to ask the holy monk, where did this 'Zhenguo Tree' come from and how did it grow so high. ”

The old monk smiled slightly, and said loudly: "This tree is planted by my master 'Fuguang' Zen master when he first came to this temple, think about it for a hundred years, this tree species is only produced in the extreme edge of the land 'Tongtian Valley', according to legend, 'Tongtian Valley' is the only place between heaven and earth, so this tree is also called 'Ascending Tree', in our mundane place, it has become 'the tree of the town'. “

Zhao Wanqing heard that this tree could reach the sky, so she was a little more curious, and she couldn't wait to take a look.

Xing Shijia deliberately made it difficult for her and said: "When I came here just now, who said that the broken tree is nothing to look at, why are you fighting to see the broken tree now." “

Zhao Wanqing pouted and said angrily: "Oh, you are really annoying, you always expose other people's shortcomings", Xing Shijia, Wu Xiu, and You Meng'er laughed secretly.

Huixian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to see the so-called 'Zhenguo Tree'." “
