As far as the naked eye can see, the Yongcui Temple covers an area of about ten miles within the boundary, and it is also covered by the canopy, which shows that the sacred tree is towering and luxuriant.

However, when Zhao Xiao flew in the air in the direction of the tree trunk, he sensed that the upper and lower four directions were turned by the mysterious mana, making Zhao Xiao seem to be galloping rapidly, but the actual direction was stagnant and unable to get close to the tree trunk.

"Huh? There are also high-ranking people. ”

Zhao Xiao immediately understood, this should be the master of the Guardian God Tree, seeing that those mountain ghosts and wood guests came one after another, there were still many spirits hovering in the sky, condensing into countless arrows, and falling densely.

"It seems that those witches in Yongcui Temple are just learning from you and others." Zhao Xiao easily dissolved the arrow light, and at the same time, with the help of Ying Xuan's Jingjing technique, he found that under the protection of the Yongcui Divine Tree, the square heaven and earth were in their own right, and they could no longer be described as blessed land, but almost like a cave sky.

However, the Yongcui Divine Tree is rooted in the earth, and it is not like the True Yuan Jade Mansion that wanders between heaven and earth. And under the Divine Tree, what you see with the naked eye may not be completely taken seriously, and the azimuth distance will be extended, which is much more sophisticated than the Hutian method that Zhao Xiao had seen in the past.

"It's subtle, but it's not invulnerable."

Zhao Xiao had a plan, and when he used his mana and pinched his fingers, the floating light of the Qingya Fairyland appeared in the Daming Treasure Mirror, and the Yongcui Divine Tree suddenly shook and trembled.

Since the Yongcui Divine Tree is comparable to the cave sky, then Zhao Huang summoned the other side of the cave sky to appear. Even if the Qingya Fairyland did not really come here, but borrowing the Fa Fairyland and opening the Heavenly Gate made the two caves impact each other, and there will inevitably be great turmoil between the Dharma and the Dharma.

Now that the Qingya Wonderland is controlled by Zhao Xiao, and the law is added, any impact and shock will naturally be reflected in the form of the gods. Fortunately, Zhao Xiao's refining form and quality have been completed, the fetus and immortals are combined, coupled with the deep foundation of scientific rituals and rituals, and the qi of heaven and earth is blessed by every gesture, just like a sacred mountain, immovable and unshakable.

On the other hand, under the Yongcui Sacred Tree, those beautiful and moving mountain ghosts had not been directly harmed, but they let out mournful noises one after another, and together with the tigers and leopards they drove, they fell and fell, tossing and turning on the ground, revealing unbearable pain, as if they were burning inside.

As for those tree spirits who resemble human bodies, they are even more languishing, and the branches and leaves on their bodies show the appearance of withering and decaying. The incomplete-form spirits in the sky were scattered and scattered, almost annihilated.

This result was slightly beyond Zhao Xiao's expectations, it seems that these mountain ghosts and wood guests, and forest spirits, are all in symbiosis with the Yongcui Divine Tree, which is somewhat similar to the Thousand Saints in the Cave Heaven. The Divine Tree itself was shocked by the impact, and they would also feel the pain of the skin, which was not the same as the Immortal Family Cave Heaven.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Xiao was about to mention his mana again, intending to destroy the Divine Tree in one go, but he heard a woman's voice in the wind in his ears: "Please stop, don't hurt my people!" ”

Zhao Xiao's mana slowed down slightly, and he said loudly: "Get out of the way, you and I will talk face to face." ”

There was a light sigh in the wind, and Zhao Xiao sensed that the transformation power that hindered his progress had dissipated, and he immediately turned into light and reached the depths.

The high and uplifted roots of the tree are like mountains, and when Zhao Xiao really came to the trunk of the tree, it seemed to be a towering cliff in front of him, revealing a hazy brilliance.

I saw a woman gradually emerging on the surface of the tree trunk, she was similar to those mountain ghosts, her ears were also long, and her long silver-white hair was scattered at will. But her limbs were stuck in the trunk of the tree, unable to get out, and Zhao Xiao could clearly sense that this woman was inseparable from the Yongcui Divine Tree, and could almost be regarded as the true spirit of the Divine Tree.

"You are the Eternal Emerald Sacred Tree?" Zhao Xiao asked.

"You can see it that way." The woman's voice was slightly sickly and weak, and the expression on her face was not very vivid.

"My name is Zhao Xiao, what should you call me?" Zhao Xiao asked.

The woman replied, "The language of my hometown is very different from this world, you can call me Wakaki." ”

Zhao Xiao bowed slightly: "So, you don't belong to this world?" ”

"Yes." Wakaki's sick and weak state cannot help but make people feel pity: "My hometown was destroyed a long time ago, and I fled in a hurry with the remnants of my people. After drifting for an unknown amount of time, I met the gods of your world, and after receiving permission, I was able to settle down. ”

"Gods? You mean the Saturnalia Lord? Zhao Xiao was slightly surprised in his heart, but his face did not show it.

"Yes." Wakaki replied softly.

Zhao Huang was silent for a while, the lord of agriculture was not actually a god, but an ancient immortal, but before he achieved the immortal path, the lord was also a king.

In ancient times, there were many tribes in Kunlun Prefecture, and there was no clear distinction between dynasties, according to the historical books, the lord of Ji was once elected as the king of all the tribes of Middle Earth, and his greatest achievement was to educate the people to identify the grass and plant grains, so the later generations got the reputation of the god of agriculture and the lord of the grass.

Previously, Zhao Xiao only knew that the Yongcui Divine Tree was planted by the master of the agricultural god, but he didn't expect that such a visitor from outside the world was implicated behind it. If you count it carefully, there is more than one.

"Why did Lord Ji allow you to take root in the southern soil?" Zhao Xiao asked, he was also very curious, the attitude of the Ancient Immortal Family towards extraterrestrial objects did not seem to be blindly rejected.

Wakaki seemed to be puzzled: "Your god is very gentle and kind, so he took me and my people in place. ”

Zhao Xiao's face was expressionless, if it was someone else, Zhao Huang would probably think he was talking nonsense, but Ruomu seemed to think that the "gentleness and kindness" of the lord of agriculture was taken for granted.

It is also reasonable that an ancient immortal family like the Lord of Ji has the great kindness and virtue of saving living beings, but as the king of a hundred departments, the Lord of Ji is definitely not a gullible and blind person. If Wakaki and her people were likely to endanger the heavens and the earth, the lord would not contain them.

"But why are you helping Li Chun? Is he in control of the number of heaven and earth? Zhao Xiao asked again.

Wakaki replied, "It was Danying who begged me, and she is the descendant of the lord of Ji." ”

"Yongcui Temple is the inheritance of the god of agriculture?" Zhao Xiao was shocked when he heard this, he naturally knew that Dan Ying was the goddess's real name.

"Yes." As the name suggests, the Wakamu people have a somewhat sluggish temperament.

Zhao Xiao couldn't help but fall into deep thought, after seeing Jiang Yingke, Zhao Xiao gradually understood how to deal with the immortal family. If you don't know some things, you may not be held accountable, but since Zhao Huang already knows that the Yongcui Temple is the inheritance of the Ji Lord, and there are extraterrestrial objects such as Ruomu that are accepted by the ancient immortal family, he can't tolerate Zhao Huang to go his own way and forcibly cut down trees.

Zhao Huang even suspected that with the deduction of the Heavenly Immortal Family, he should have expected that he would go to the Yongcui Temple, and how to deal with Ruomu and the Yongcui Temple was a test left by the Immortal Family.

"Do you know why I want to attack the Eternal Green Temple?" Zhao Xiao's mind turned for a moment, and he asked Ruomu.

"You are the enemy of Dan Ying and Li Chun." Wakaki replied.

"That's a light thing to say." Zhao Xiao sighed: "If it is really the hostile two sides on the battlefield, they will attack and kill each other, but now the Yongcui Divine Maiden colludes with the Southern Earth Demon God and even allows the blood sacrifice of the living." I would like to ask, is this kind of thing common in your hometown? ”

When Zhao Xiao said this, the Daming Treasure Mirror conjured up a lot of light and shadow, including the situation of the blood sacrifice of the living outside the old man's mountain.

Wakaki was silent for a moment and then said, "Different races, different customs, and I can't interfere in these things. ”

"Is that right, right, wrong?" Zhao Xiao turned to ask again: "Then Li Chun received your help to summon the Revenant Yin Soldiers on a large scale, you should know very well." Don't you think it's okay to do this? ”

"When my people die, their souls will return to the trees, and in the event of an invasion, they will be transformed into beasts and treants." Ruomu said: "It should not hurt to let the souls of the ancestors reappear in the world and resist the enemy's attack. ”

Zhao Xiao squinted and was silent, he found that he was slightly negligent, and he really couldn't rely on reason to convince such an extraterrestrial thing as Ruomu. Because people were originally born in heaven and earth, the law is completely different from Kunlun Continent, and the habits of these mountain ghosts and woodmen cannot be compared with ordinary people, so they naturally do not value humanity.

But also because of this conversation, Zhao Xiao vaguely understood, that is, in the face of extraterrestrial objects from different backgrounds, he could not rely on his past preconceived ideas, and what the other party thought and wanted may be very different from ordinary people.

Just as the night is bright and the day is dusk, and the rooster is bright and the night is dark, different races in the world still look at the morning and dusk of day and night differently, not to mention different heaven and earth and different things?

"Could it be that this is the test left by the master for future generations?" Zhao Huang couldn't help but think that there was no reason for an ancient immortal family like Lord Ji to place the Ruomu clan in Kunlun Continent just with a benevolent heart, and maybe there was some deep meaning.

"Let me ask you, what did the lord of the grain command when he settled you here?" Zhao Xiao said.

Wakagi did not hide it: "He hopes that I can extend the root system of the big tree to every corner of the world, and then lure the souls of the dead." Unfortunately, it took me a long time and I was only able to complete a small part. ”

Zhao Xiao was secretly shocked when he heard this, and what Ruomu said immediately reminded him of the Nine Springs Prison Law in ancient times. The Lord's attempt to let the Eternal Emerald Divine Tree lure the souls of the dead may also be some kind of attempt and deduction.

And this should be related to the ability of the Eternal Emerald Divine Tree itself to accept the souls of the dead and transform them, and the Lord Ji must have taken a fancy to this, so he let the Divine Tree take root in the southern soil. As for why the Wakaki clan was not settled in Middle-earth, perhaps because Middle-earth has always been turbulent, and if the war spreads to the Wakaki clan, their ability to protect themselves is obviously insufficient.

From this point of view, Li Chun's ability to summon the revenant Yin soldiers must be blessed by the Yongcui Divine Tree. Li Chunzhi to Ruomu can be compared to the original battle of Lung Mountain, Zhao Huang and Liang Tao, all of whom have been blessed with great mana.

"Since you said that you will attract the souls of the dead, where will the souls of the believers who are sacrificed by the blood of the demon gods go?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Ruomu was silent for a long time, and Zhao Huang sighed: "Humane ethics, discipline and etiquette are indeed not immutable, since you are from outside the world, I don't demand too much." But since you have taken root in Kunlun Continent and have been entrusted by the lord of agriculture, you should not do nothing. ”

"I don't want to get involved in the strife of the world." Wakaki finally spoke his mind.

"In that case, why did you agree to the request of the Yongcui Priestess to help Li Chun?" Zhao Huang asked rhetorically: "Hundreds of years ago, when the Tianxia Dynasty opened up the southern territory, it should be you who signaled the Yongcui Temple to stay out of the matter, so as to be preserved." And you were moved for a while, and the result is like this, I personally came to the door to ask. ”

"I was wrong." Wakaki admitted very dryly: "I had a premonition that the world was about to face great changes, and I was worried that it would encounter another crisis of destruction, so I chose to take the initiative to intervene. ”

"A big change?" Zhao Xiao immediately realized: "You mean the fall of the star?" ”

"The fall of the stars symbolizes the collapse of the old order." Ruomu said something different: "I found out that the person who destroyed the old order is you. ”

"Are you talking about the discipline and law of the Tianxia Dynasty?" Zhao Huang was not surprised that Ruomu saw through him, but just shook his head and said: "The collapse of the discipline and law is not only something that I can do alone, when I practiced the law in Pujiaguan, it was just a complete exhaustion of the remnants of the previous dynasty. ”

"But you're also the one who built the new order." Ruo Mu looked at Zhao Huang, and a hint of curiosity appeared in Mu Ran's expression: "I see that the gods are trying to weave a new destiny with the help of you. ”

Zhao Xiao frowned slightly: "First of all, I don't think I can establish any new order, this kind of thing has never been the work of one person. Secondly, immortals are not gods, and in our case, there is a difference between the way of immortals and the way of God. ”

"Really?" Ruomu said: "In my hometown, people like you are walking on the road to becoming gods, gradually stripping away their humanity and retaining only the most compatible and pure divinity with the godhead. ”

"I think you're more like a god than I am." Zhao Xiao was slightly unhappy: "It's a pity that you are bound by this tree." ”

"This is my promise to my people." Wakaki didn't have a hint of sadness and grief.

"So I can threaten the lives of your people?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Ruomu didn't speak, and there was no joy or sorrow in her wooden expression. But under the light of the Great Ming Treasure Mirror, Zhao Xiao noticed that she had a trace of fear.

"Since you know that I am the enemy of the Eternal Green Temple, then you should understand the purpose of my visit this time." Zhao Xiao said: "There are Xiong and Jiuli two countries fighting on the front line, and Li Chun has your blessing and obstructed it. If you choose to continue to aid Li Chun, I don't mind going on a killing spree here. But I don't want that, I can try to free you from the bondage of the Emerald Tree without affecting your people. ”

"You...... Can it really be done? Wakaki's eyes lit up slightly.

Zhao Xiao suddenly smiled: "Didn't you just say that I was the one who established a new order?" That starts from you, and by the way, I will also return a word to you - the wood of the hug, born in the end of the millennium; The nine-story platform starts from the soil; Great oaks from little acorns grow.. ”

Is this the proverb of the gods? I seem to understand something. Wakaki said.

"Do you say yes?" Zhao Xiao asked.

Ruomu said: "In my hometown, this kind of thing needs to be contracted, otherwise we can't trust each other. ”

"So what are you going to do? Do you want me to swear by heaven and shed blood as proof? Zhao Xiao asked again.

"Reach for your hand." After Ruomu finished speaking, Zhao Huang could only hand his hand to her in disbelief, but Ruomu lowered his head and kissed the back of Zhao Xiao's hand directly.

Zhao Xiao's face was expressionless, but he sensed a wisp of subtle qi attached to his body, and even if he cut off his palm, he couldn't erase it.

"The contract is made." Ruomu raised his eyes and looked directly at Zhao Xiao and said, "I hope you can fulfill your promise." ”
