Gu Yuan stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the leaf, but when his fingertips were about to touch it, the leaf melted like a snowflake, and wisps of golden light fell into his body.

Gu Yuan's eyes widened, his face was full of incredulity, and when he looked at the old lady again, the other party had an expression of "sure enough" on his face.

Just as he wanted to ask, the old lady spoke first.

"It's not the people of the Li family who choose the Divine Tree, but the people of the Divine Tree who choose the Li family, Li Siming is the guardian of this Divine Tree, so the Divine Tree will give him guidance and let him choose the next guardian of the Divine Tree."

When Gu Yuan heard this, he seemed to understand a little.

It's just that he didn't speak in a hurry, but waited for the old lady to continue.

"Over the years, the Divine Tree has not given Li Siming any guidance, it seems that the current people of the Li family, he can no longer see it, but not long ago, Li Siming wrote a letter to his family, saying that he had found the next person who could protect the Divine Tree."

Gu Yuan asked tentatively, "The person you are talking about, am I?" ”

"Yes, to be precise, it wasn't Li Siming who chose you, but the Divine Tree who chose you." The old lady continued.

In fact, this is the first time this has happened.

Over the years, the Li family has been guarding the Bronze Divine Tree, and this has become the meaning and mission of their Li family's existence.

And every guardian of the Bronze Divine Tree is also from the bloodline of the Li family, but now, the Divine Tree has chosen an outsider.

Mrs. Li also felt incredible about this.

She took two steps towards the Divine Tree and continued: "When I saw you before, I also thought it was incredible, and I thought that Li Siming had made a mistake, until, you were able to kill Ling Feng, which shows that you do have qualities in you that I haven't discovered yet. ”

Gu Yuan smiled bitterly: "Then you must tell me when you find out, I don't know what qualities I have." ”

As an awakened shaman, Gu Yuan knew that he was indeed different from many people, but he didn't think that the difference in his body could have much impact on this world, it was nothing more than that his strength improved faster, and by the way, he could solve those demon domains without injury.

Suddenly, Gu Yuan's eyes widened and he said, "Old lady, do you think it's possible that our family's lineage used to be a member of the Li family?" Only later...... A certain Mrs. and grandfather of mine joined the Gu family and became the son-in-law of the Gu family, and later the surname was Gu? ”

The old lady glanced at him, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

"It's impossible."

Gu Yuan: "......"

Do you need to be so decisive......

Why is the old man not kind at all!

"Since that's the case, then I really don't understand, I'm not from the Li family, why did the Bronze Divine Tree choose me?" Gu Yuan scratched his head and said.

The old lady shook her head.

"When you find out someday, remember to tell me." She said.

When Gu Yuan heard this, he suddenly felt familiar, as if he had just said it?

"However, now that you have been recognized by the Divine Tree, it seems that Li Siming has not made any mistakes." The old lady continued.

Gu Yuan was taken aback.

His eyes widened and he wondered, "Recognition? When did I get recognized? ”

The old lady looked at Gu Yuan's shoulder and smiled without saying a word.

Gu Yuan was shocked: "That leaf just now? ”

The old lady nodded.

It doesn't look like this kid is too stupid.

Gu Yuan still felt a little unbelievable in his heart.

That sounds a bit unreasonable.

Obviously, guarding this bronze divine tree has always been the task of the Li family, why did it suddenly fall on him?

He's guessing, too.

Is the reason why Li Siming pays so much attention to himself is also because when he saw him, the Bronze Divine Tree gave him guidance?

However, this should be unlikely.

After all, when they met for the first time, Li Siming didn't show any complicated emotions.

Gu Yuan looked at the bronze divine tree in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"Have you ever wondered why Li Siming suddenly asked you to come to the capital and sign a contract with the Bronze Divine Tree?" The old lady asked suddenly.

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook his head.

But he suddenly thought of what the old lady had said before, and he felt a chill in his heart.

The old lady said before that as long as he signed a contract with the Bronze Divine Tree and became a guardian, the person died, the tree died, and the person lived, the tree lived.

Other words.

The reason why Li Siming made such an arrangement was because when he went to northern Xinjiang, he was ready to die there.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan's face turned a little pale.

"Don't be so nervous, he hasn't encountered any danger, it's just that over there in the northern Xinjiang, fighting with the demon clan, anything can happen." Old Taijun Li seemed to see through Gu Yuan's thoughts at a glance and spoke.

Gu Yuan's mood also became complicated.

Although Li Siming went to Northern Xinjiang, everyone knew very well that place was very dangerous, and Li Siming, who was appointed as the commander of the Demon Slaying Army, was naturally facing a life-and-death crisis all the time.

But in Gu Yuan's opinion, perhaps out of trust in Li Siming, he always felt that the troubles in Northern Xinjiang were nothing to Li Siming.

Only at this time did he realize that even Li Siming himself had no bottom in his heart.

When he really realized this problem, Gu Yuan's mood immediately became heavy.

He looked at the old lady of the Li family in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "Old lady, this responsibility is really too great, in fact, I am very weak, maybe I will have braids one day." ”

Mrs. Li took a deep breath and said angrily: "Today's young people are really not like words, and they hang these unlucky words on their lips every day. ”

Gu Yuan smiled, a little disapproving: "No way, when I joined the Demon Suppression Division, I was already mentally prepared, if I was really afraid of death, there was no need to join the Demon Suppression Division." ”

Mrs. Li was stunned.

She stared at Gu Yuan, looked at it for a while, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"I'm afraid." Gu Yuan pursed his lips, "Who in the world is not afraid of death?" Unless it's ...... There are more terrible things than death. ”

"I've read your information, and in my opinion, you have finally become extraordinary, and you have the strength you have now, so you should cherish life more." Mrs. Li said, "Shouldn't a situation like yours be more life-sparing? ”

"yes!" A soft smile appeared on Gu Yuan's face, he thought for a while, and said, "Probably, my life was originally earned by someone else." ”

The old lady stared at Gu Yuan for a while, thoughtful.

After a moment, she nodded slightly.

"I kind of understand why he chose you now."

"Bronze Sacred Tree?"

"I'm talking about Li Siming." Mrs. Li said.

Without waiting for Gu Yuan to speak, the old lady immediately said: "You should be very clear about the current situation, whether it is the Ling family or Guanlong Mountain, they are looking for you, even if I allow it, you yourself don't want to stay here all the time, right?" ”

Gu Yuan's expression became solemn again.

"However, as long as you become the guardian of the Bronze Divine Tree, then Guanlong Mountain will definitely be on your side." Mrs. Li said with deep eyes.

Gu Yuan's eyes widened and he looked at the other party incredulously.
