Sun Li and Nie Xiaoqian in the forest were in a stalemate until the sky in the east turned white, and Sun Li sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, and now those people should also leave." ”

Nie Xiaoqian didn't speak, just glared at her fiercely, passed by, and walked quickly in the direction of Dajue Temple.

"Da Da Da", footsteps sounded, and after a stick of incense, the Dajue Temple, which had become a ruin, appeared in front of the two of them.

Nie Xiaoqian's emotions that had just calmed down immediately rose and fell again, her eyes were slightly red, and her shoulders trembled slightly. And Sun Li saw this scene, but he just shook his head and didn't say anything. In fact, I had thought of this a long time ago, so I would prevent Nie Xiaoqian from coming back.

What can I do when I come back, but it only adds to my sadness.

And Nie Xiaoqian stood outside the temple and watched blankly, and after looking at it for a long time, she bit her lip lightly, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage, and walked towards the temple step by step.

Sun Li knew very well that this was Nie Xiaoqian's desire to see the old tree demon, but he didn't stop it, after all, a long pain is better than a short pain.

Nie Xiaoqian walked in little by little, and finally saw a plum tree in a clearing.

At this time, the plum tree was completely scorched, and its height suddenly shrank to a height of only one zhang, and all the leaves fell off. No matter how much Nie Xiaoqian shouted on the side, she didn't respond, and now Nie Xiaoqian was completely dead.

"Why, why is this happening?" Nie Xiaoqian looked over with tears in her eyes, "Grandma never did evil, never made trouble, just cultivated peacefully in this reckless forest." Why do those people still kill him, but those big demons who often do evil still have a lot of good life, why!"

Nie Xiaoqian's voice was very loud, and she was asking with all her might, "Why!"

Sun Li glanced at Nie Xiaoqian's grief-stricken appearance, sighed lightly, turned his head to look into the distance, and said softly: "Why don't I tell you a story, after listening to it, maybe you will understand." ”

"What's the story?" Nie Xiaoqian asked, her eyes still full of tears.

Sun Li didn't answer, but spoke directly, "Once upon a time, there was an old rich man who divided his two sons, and in order to see who was the most capable, he gave each of them a rusty woodcutter to chop wood. The eldest son took the knife and cut it, but the younger son did not hurry to sharpen the knife with a stone first......"

But only half of the story was told before it was interrupted by Nie Xiaoqian, Nie Xiaoqian frowned and said, "This story, I remember what you once told." ”

"Yes, I did, it's the story of the woodcutter who sharpens his knife without cutting wood. Sun Li admitted, Nie Xiaoqian's brows furrowed even deeper, and the next moment Sun Li showed a serious expression, "But this time the story is slightly different from that time." ”

"Hmm, how is it different?" Nie Xiaoqian looked over.

Sun Li did not explain, but continued to preach: "The eldest son laughed at the younger son, saying that he had wasted his efforts, and it was better to hurry up and chop wood. But the younger son didn't say anything, and continued to grind until he had finished grinding, and then cut wood. ”

As a result, the eldest son cut very hard, and the younger son cut quickly and easily, and soon surpassed the eldest son, and brought back a lot of firewood. As Sun Li narrated, Nie Xiaoqian's brows furrowed more and more, until she heard the place where the ending was about to end, and she didn't hear any difference from the story she had heard before, and even the tone of her voice was the same.

At this time, Sun Li turned his head to look at Nie Xiaoqian, and slowly said the final outcome, "So the old rich man gave most of his property to his eldest son, anyway, he knew that the younger son was so capable." ”

"Huh?" Nie Xiaoqian's eyes widened slightly, and it took a long time to react to the difference in this ending, and then it took a long time to say that she was a little stunned, "This ......"

Rao is Nie Xiaoqian has heard a lot of stories, and she never thought that the ending of a story would be like this......

"I'm surprised. Sun Li spoke at this time and looked at Nie Xiaoqian seriously, "It's strange why the old rich man would make such a decision, but he just did it, because this time it's about reality." In reality, if there is really such an old rich man, he will definitely give most of the property to the eldest son, even if the eldest son is really stupid. ”

"Because of his stupidity, he must be partial to him, defend him, and give him more benefits, because the old rich man does not want to see his eldest son lose all his wealth and beg for a living after his death. This is reality, a reality that is completely different from the story!" Sun Li's voice was slightly solemn.

"Why the story ends so well, because that's what people want. The reason why people want this kind of beauty is because they often don't get this kind of imaginary beauty, and that's the reality. Capable people don't necessarily get paid, good people don't necessarily be happy, and the worst person can be the biggest winner, that's the reality!"

Nie Xiaoqian's eyes widened, looking a little shocked, and then turned her head to look at the scorched plum tree, as if she understood something.

"Don't believe in what good and evil are rewarded, don't believe in what good people are safe, this world is not our own world after all. Sometimes, you have to learn to be patient, to be silent, to withdraw and give up, and to get back what you have lost when you have the opportunity to do so later. Some people call this wisdom calm, and I want you to calm down right now. ”

Nie Xiaoqian looked at it seriously, looked at it for a long time, and then slowly lowered her head and was silent.

Seeing this scene, Sun Licai let out a long breath and put his mind at ease, otherwise he was really afraid that Nie Xiaoqian would not be able to think of doing anything.

But Sun Li's idea lasted less than a breath before it was broken. Nie Xiaoqian, who was staring at Li Zishu and thinking, was silent, but the next moment she seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and the sad expression on her face swept away, turning into extreme excitement: "This is, this is ......"

"Huh?" Sun Li looked over suspiciously, and saw Nie Xiaoqian looking at a fist-sized hole in the plum tree with an excited face.

"This is the location of the heart of the tree, this is the location of the heart of the grandmother!" Nie Xiaoqian shouted.

Sun Li frowned slightly, not understanding why Nie Xiaoqian was so excited.

And the next moment, I heard Nie Xiaoqian explain, "People will die without heart, and trees will not live without heart." Grandma is a thousand-year-old tree demon, and if the heart of the tree is destroyed, she must die. However, the heart of the tree was not destroyed, it was dug up, and it must have been dug up by them. You see, there aren't any fragments of the heart of the tree here, they must have been dug up with a magic weapon. ”

Nie Xiaoqian's eyes lit up little by little, "It must be that after those people defeated Grandma, they wanted to use Grandma's tree heart as a material for refining magic weapons or elixirs, so they were reluctant to destroy it and directly dug it up." ”

"So ......" Sun Li slowly looked at Nie Xiaoqian, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart.

"So, as long as you snatch Grandma's tree heart back, then Grandma can still be resurrected!" Nie Xiaoqian said loudly, and Sun Li's guess in his heart was instantly implemented, "As long as you find a good body for Grandma, recuperate for a period of time, and reintegrate with the tree heart, Grandma can come back to life." Although, at that time, grandma's cultivation will be greatly reduced, but grandma can live, it's good!"

The more Nie Xiaoqian spoke, the more excited she became, but Sun Li's gaze on the side became cold a little bit, and it wasn't until a long time later that she couldn't bear to interrupt Nie Xiaoqian's words, "To be honest, whether they destroyed the heart of the tree or took the heart of the tree, in fact, when that purple-robed Taoist priest defeated grandma, grandma was already dead." ”

"No, no, you don't understand, Grandma Tree Heart can really live. ”

"However, it is impossible for us to take back the heart of the tree, Senior Sister!" Sun Li took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice.

Nie Xiaoqian was slightly stunned, and then she heard Sun Li's calm analysis: "You are injured, and my cultivation is only the Triple Mortal, and we are not the opponent of that purple-robed Taoist priest in our total now." Coupled with their group of young disciples, we simply don't have the strength to recapture the heart of the tree. And by the time you regain your strength and I have been promoted to a higher realm, they will have already returned to their Jinhua Mountain. At that time, the number of enemies we face will increase by dozens or hundreds of times, and the hope will be even more slim. ”

After hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian's body trembled slightly, and she was silent again, and she didn't speak for a full dozen breaths. And when the silence ended, he looked up coldly and said, "You're scared!"

This sentence was said very resolutely and coldly, and immediately after speaking, he answered, "If you are afraid, I will save my grandmother's tree heart." ”

Sun Li couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then his expression became a little serious, and he looked at Nie Xiaoqian in front of him seriously: "It's not fear, it's calm, it's rational." You should understand that we can't save Grandma's tree heart at all now, and if we go now, we can only send them to death. Otherwise, you tell me what you do, how to save the heart of the tree. As long as you can name a reasonable plan, I'll go with you!"

"I ......" Nie Xiaoqian was speechless, looked at Sun Li in a daze, and after a long time, her body trembled, and she said with a little choked, "But, but, I can't help but save grandma......"

"Alas. In the end, countless emotions turned into a sigh from Sun Li. Sun Li is now very clear about Nie Xiao's mood, after all, the old tree demon can be regarded as his dearest relative, if he were to change himself, he might also do it impulsively.

But, in any case, it is definitely a dead end to snatch the heart of the tree recklessly like this. Nie Xiaoqian also knew this, but she was unwilling to face it.

"The people involved are confused, but the bystanders are clear. Sun Li looked into the distance and said softly, then looked at Nie Xiaoqian, "I know it's your grandma, it's human nature for you to do this, but ......"

As a result, Sun Li stopped only halfway through his words, and saw Nie Xiaoqian suddenly look at him suddenly, with a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"Senior sister?" Sun Li looked at the other party with a slight frown, not sure what Nie Xiaoqian wanted to do.

Enlightened?

Desperate? Not like that.

Is that?

Sun Li became more and more strange, but Nie Xiaoqian walked over step by step, and only stopped when he got very close, Sun Li could even feel the other party's slightly rapid breathing.

"You really don't want to save grandma?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. If you could calm down, it would be like that. The reason why you won't is only because grandma is your relative, so you can't face it rationally. ”

"Because grandma is not your relative, you can be rational and calm, so you won't save grandma, right?"

"You can think so. ”

"Then what if grandma is your relative?" Nie Xiaoqian asked suddenly, with a very determined look in her eyes.

"Hmm, senior sister, you?" Sun Li looked at Nie Xiaoqian, who was close at hand, and suddenly felt a little wrong, and couldn't help but want to step back. But before she could take a step, Nie Xiaoqian's head was pasted, and then the cherry mouth was slammed down.

Sun Li was slightly stunned, and the next moment he felt that his mouth was blocked, and then a soft tongue was very clumsy and stubborn to pry open his closed teeth......

It felt very soft, slippery, and cool.

Sun Li was completely stunned, just stared blankly, and looked at Nie Xiaoqian, who was close at hand, and then saw the panicked desperate and resolute in the other party's eyes.

Wrapping, wrapping, two tongues constantly wrapping......

After four or five breaths, Sun Li felt his chest being pushed violently, and the soft, slippery feeling quickly receded from his mouth, and Nie Xiaoqian said with a little trembling: "Now, grandma is also your grandma, can you still calm down?"
