Jin Zhou had already gone to explore in three directions before, and he had gone far and found nothing.

In order to save time, the three of them went to the east where Jin Zhou had not been to see if they could find anything.

After listening to Jin Zhou's general explanation of what he had seen and heard before, Qingluan couldn't help but say, "I didn't see it, you are quite capable of jumping, you actually walked so far." ”

"I woke up in the middle of the night, didn't rest, and went straight to find the exit." Jin Zhou Road.

"Aren't you tired, then?"

Shen Li looked at him inquiringly.

Jin Zhou met her gaze and smiled slightly, "Of course I'm tired." But the situation is not clear, and I am really not in the mood to rest. It's better to go out early. Of course, it would be better if God favored me and allowed me to find my long-lost friend here. In this way, I will not get tired. ”

Shen Li's gaze fell on his face.

I can't see any tiredness, but I'm in good spirits.

Perhaps, as he said, he was nervous and relaxed, and he didn't feel tired.

She withdrew her gaze and said no more, looking around carefully, watching for any clues that might arise.

Jin Zhou and Qingluan also focused on looking for it while walking.

It's just that after walking for a long time, there are still overwhelming white Gobi barren rocks in sight, as if there is no end in sight, and there is no other strange existence.

The sun is moving westward.

It was still winter, but they didn't have a trace of cold, but were so hot that their mouths were dry and thirsty, and they had to drink water from time to time.

It wasn't until it got dark that the temperature gradually dropped, and the cold went straight into the cracks of the human bones.

Before, they were sweating all over the road, and now the disadvantages are revealed, they are shivering from the cold, and they are completely cold.

"No, what the hell is this place, the temperature difference between day and night is so big??" Qingluan wondered.

Shen Li looked up at the sunset that was gradually sinking into the horizon, and said, "It's so cold now, what will it be like at night?" It won't be the same as the daytime, the temperature difference is obvious, directly minus ten degrees, one day and one earth, right? ”

Qingluan's face changed, "Then we must not be frozen to death." ”

The clothes they wear now are not very thick, and they have some scratches when they encounter sandstorms, which are not good at protecting them from the cold.

Plus, they don't even have a sleeping bag.

In the winter, if you sleep in the open, what is the difference between it and looking for death?

"Then there will be no rest."

Jin Zhou, who had been walking in the back and strolling leisurely, suddenly spoke.

He looked up at the sky and said, "Keep hurrying, at least your body temperature won't be too low." ”

That's all it can be for now

Shen Li was dark, and Yu Guang glanced at Jin Zhou, and suddenly paused.

The man's clothes didn't look very thick, at least thinner than the two of them, but he didn't seem to feel much about the change in temperature, and still walked slowly with his hands in his pockets.

The next moment, Shen Li suddenly met the man's gaze.

He didn't seem to be smiling, as if he wasn't surprised that Shen Li looked at him.

Shen Liden retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

Soon, the sky became darker, and the three of them also walked out of a dense Gobi, with a relatively flat area in front of them, with not many rocks, and some dry dead trees and dead plants on it.

"Huh? Look, what's that?! Qingluan suddenly spoke.

Shen Li and Jin Zhou followed her finger and looked over.

Nothing was noticed for a while.

But soon noticed, behind a huge rock in the distance, a little red light appeared!

It then disappears.

It didn't take long for it to reappear!

The three quickened their pace.

When I got closer, I walked around the rock, and I saw that there was a tree that was only a person tall on the sand and gravel in the clearing behind me, I don't know what kind of tree it was, the body of the tree was winding, the body of the tree was buried deep in the ground, the exposed part was coiled, and the cover on the surface was rough and cracked, and there was no trace of moisture in the dryness.

But there was a bright red lantern hanging from the cluttered branches!

This lantern looks very peculiar, because its appearance is delicate and tender, the material is unknown, there seems to be lamp oil burning inside, but it can flash and flash, there will be a few seconds in between, and it seems to have a little dark green glow when you look closely, I don't know how to do it.

"It's like a human skin lantern." Qingluan said suddenly.

Shen Li turned his head to look at her abruptly.

"What did you say?"

Qingluan's face was actually very solemn, and she said: "When I followed my master before, I saw someone use human skin to make lanterns, and this is what it looks like. Eighty percent of the oil in it is the corpse oil trained by the human body, plus bone meal. ”

"The girl actually knows this, she is really well-informed. Does the girl know what kind of tree it is? Jin Zhou was curious.

Qingluan frowned, looked at the dead tree in front of him, and looked around.

A light flashed in his mind, and Qingluan's nose moved slightly, startled.

"This looks like a rejuvenating tree!"

"What...... Tree? ”

Shen Li hadn't heard of it.

Qingluan's face changed greatly, looked at Shen Li, and said, "It's over, it's over!" ”

"The master told me before that when he was trying to find a way to go home, he had inadvertently come into contact with a strange place, called the Other Shore Realm, which is the source of the Heavenly Dao and the end of the reincarnation of all things!"

"It is said that the soul of a person is immortal after death, if he is lucky enough to enter the other side of the realm, guided by the human lamp, he can return to the soul tree to give incense to protect the soul body, and then successfully cross the river of life to wash away the past, you can dissipate the cause and effect and get a new life!"

"And the Soul Tree, which is the legendary sacred tree, can have the sound of a copper drum whistling when hitting the body of the tree, which is deafening to make the soul body increasingly weak and chaotic consciousness, and the branches and leaves it grows can be made into immortal medicine, because of the strange fragrance, it is called the rebirth incense, and the dead soul can stare at the soul body when it smells it, so as to keep it from dispersing!"

Shen Li was surprised when he heard it.

She had never heard of such a sacred tree.

"How did you know for sure it's the Tree of Repentance that Adasan said it was?" Shen Li asked.

Qingluan pointed to the lantern, "Because it, unlike ordinary human skin lanterns, has a natural attraction and sense of oppression for dead souls. Have you forgotten that my body is a foreign body? I'm afraid of it now. ”

"And it-"

Qingluan pointed to the tree again.

"I really smell a faint soul fragrance on its tree, but it's very faint, but after I smell it, I also feel that my soul body has condensed a lot. This is not something that ordinary trees can do! ”

"I remember that my master also said that it usually does not have this kind of taste, if it has grown branches and leaves, there will be residual fragrance left, which will not disappear in the short term, but will gradually fade."

"So it must have grown branches and leaves not long ago, and it was plucked out and used!"

After hearing this, Shen Li also stepped forward and sniffed closely.

But it doesn't taste at all.

She looked back suspiciously: "Are you sure?" Why didn't I smell it? ”

She's a perfumer anyway, and she's very sensitive to smells, so she can't smell them.

"If you smell it, it's bad!" Qingluan said angrily, "You can't smell it when you're alive, you can't only smell it when you're dead." Don't believe you ask him. ”

She pointed at Jin Zhou.

Shen Li looked at the man.

Jin Zhou seemed to be puzzled, unable to understand what they were saying.

Seeing that Shen Li looked at it, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I really didn't smell any smells. ”

"It's not something you can't hear now, the problem is that we're done!" Qingluan said again at this time.
