Chapter 172: The Evergreen Tree
Stepping into the mountains and forests, Li Dou'er's whole mental state has changed, which makes Cao An suddenly feel a little more at ease for the next three years, he is like most children who come out of the mountains, he has curiosity about the outside world, but he is not indulged in the prosperity of the outside world, it seems that only the mountains are their home field, here, they will naturally relax themselves.
No longer tense the nerves, back to the state of being like an elf.
Cao An had noticed it before, when he was in Gulan City, except for the first time, Li Douer would be interested in the surrounding bustling high-rise buildings, busy traffic and convenient transportation, of course, there were all kinds of delicious food, but after the novelty in his heart passed, he seemed a little lacking in interest.
The whole person seemed to be wilted, until he walked out of the Gulan City and into the mountains.
"Big brother, hurry up, how can you go slower than me."
"Don't be in a hurry, travel thousands of miles, the focus is not thousands of miles, but lines, the teachings of heaven and earth are in this line, when you pay attention to look, there will always be all kinds of moments in this world, touching your heart, this bit of touch and understanding, cumulatively, will be your firewood on the road of martial arts in the future."
A blank martial artist can't go far, the root bones and potential are only a prerequisite after all, if you don't experience enough, if you don't feel enough, one day in the future, it will still be difficult to move an inch, the upper limit is there, just like an iron ball that has been thrown and rolled towards the hillside.
Everything that is innate, that is, the power of the moment it is thrown, will eventually run out one day.
Under the right opportunity, Cao An doesn't mind instilling some of his experience and experience in martial arts practice with Li Dou'er, although he is still young, these things will exist, and forgetting is only temporary, under just the right situation, the dusty memory will eventually reappear, at that time, it will not be listening to this kind of senseless words, but comprehension.
"I don't understand, does big brother mean to let me see more?"
"Sort of."
Cao An smiled, walked to the big stone in front of him, and looked up at the lush forest in front of him, this is the forest that really belongs to the plain area, standing here, you can still see a little outline of the plain in front of you, the further back, the green edge line of the plain spreads to both sides, and you can't see the end at all.
'The purple cloud frame in front of you is the last stop to go to the divine capital, after the purple cloud frame, you will face the divine capital as the center of power! ’
When he came back to his senses, he had unconsciously walked so far, spanning from one end of the dynasty to the other, and the experiences and experiences along the way flashed in Cao An's mind one by one, and his eyes became deep and distant again.
"The next road, there may be some danger, you have to follow me at all times, don't run around, can't leave me within three feet, remember?"
Seeing that Cao An was speaking so seriously, Li Dou'er also restrained the excitement on his face, hummed heavily, and nodded in agreement.
I couldn't help but get nervous inside.
"Big brother, yes, what's the danger?"
"Demons and spirits!"
Ziyunjia has always been like this, although it is close to the Shendu, but the area it covers is too large, it is said that when the dynasty was newly established, it sent a large army to cut down the mountain, but this initiative was only carried out for a year, and it ended without a problem.
If Cao An was the only one on this trip, he wouldn't have paid attention to these rumors, but now, there was a small oil bottle by his side, so he had to warn him in advance.
Li Dou'er was startled, his little face turned a little white, obviously he had this concept in his mind.
"Is it the kind that eats people?"
"That's definitely going to happen, so stay with me."
Before Cao An finished speaking, Li Dou'er had already stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Cao An's clothes, "Big brother, I'll just leave like this, you must not leave me." ”
"No, don't worry, you can let go of me, as long as you don't stay too far away from me, there will be no danger, don't pull the corners of the big brother's clothes, the big brother will protect you, let's go."
In the purple cloud frame, there have always been more ghosts and strange ambitions spread outside, and according to the route on the map, Cao An's trip will only pass by the edge of the center.
The footsteps of the two are not fast, nearly three hours, before nightfall, they only walked about forty miles, probably because of the vastness of the heaven and earth Yuanli, Cao An discovered a long time ago that the ordinary people here have a physique far better than the world in their memories, even if they are children, they are victorious in all aspects.
The human eye can be distinguished, the sun's rays are beginning to become dim, Cao An and Li Dou'er finally found a giant tree in the sky, this is an evergreen tree, this plant grows more in places with a more constant temperature, but the adaptability is not weak, and most importantly, as his name suggests, the life span is extremely long.
In the natural state, it can live for thousands of years, and the leaves alternate frequently, and they do not change too much in the four seasons like other forest trees, so it has the name of evergreen.
The tree in front of him is also thousands of years old, and the entire main trunk standing on the ground is like a small castle, hollow in a large section, and you can also see the decayed and dry broken wood inside, as well as the dead sections still hanging on the branches.
Like a door, open outward, its umbrella cover covers several miles, covering the sky and the sun, and there is a section of roots hanging from the top down, penetrating into the ground, forming the appearance of today, and the roots have become less like roots, like a trunk, but compared to the real trunk, it is too pediatric.
There is no trace of human activity, and the whole evergreen tree looks a little damp, giving people a natural aversion, and the land has turned black after years of nourishment.
Fortunately, it should have been sunny recently, and the ground was drier than expected, which did not make Cao An retreat.
The palm of the hand waved, the real vigor, a few waves of the hand, in the tree hole to make sense of a clean area, the space of the tree hole is not large, that is, the size of a hut, at the moment is just right, one big and one small two people do not have to sleep in the mountains.
Eating cakes, on the water, it also solved today's dinner, Li Douer has always been not picky about eating, or it may be when he is growing his body, he eats with relish, this day is estimated to be too tired, not long after eating, he began to doze off, and after a while, he fell asleep next to Cao An.
When night fell completely, thunder sounded in the sky, and from time to time a few lightning bolts pierced the night sky, illuminating the entire forest for a moment, and the air was slightly wet.
Cao An stretched out his hand and probed in the air, "Sure enough, it's going to rain, but fortunately, I found such a place tonight to shelter from the wind and rain." He said to himself, and looked at Li Dou'er who was sleeping behind him, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
yawned, inexplicably a little sleepy, turned over his hand and fell several sword qi, laying an enchantment outside the tree hole, Cao An let the sleepiness flood, leaned on the inner wall of the tree hole and fell asleep.
He felt like he was having a dream, a strange dream.
Because I subconsciously felt that it was a dream, and the surrounding situation was too ethereal, so that Cao An felt that it was a dream in his inner consciousness, but he couldn't wake up, or in this big tree hole, there was Li Dou'er lying on the side, there was no thunder and lightning outside, and there was a strange red light.
I don't know where the light source comes from, in the red light, the surrounding situation can barely be seen clearly, Cao An walked outside the tree hole, his eyes looked at everything around, the ground was no longer what it was before, but became unusually clean and tidy, paved with bluestone bricks of the right size.
The red light illuminated everything under the evergreen tree, it seemed hazy and faint, Cao An subconsciously raised his head, and still couldn't find the light source above his head, and except for the area under the 'umbrella cover', the rest of the place was shrouded in purple mist, which he couldn't see through with his sight, and the purple fog was still surging, like a tide.
Tumbling and rolling like a living thing......
