Because he saw that the old man on the tree had now fully integrated his body into the trunk of the ancient tree.

Only an old face covered with tree rings and wood prints inhabited and grew in it, and it was extremely difficult to even turn the neck.

As if hearing Brian's voice, he rolled his eyes slightly.

The old eyes also began to wooden, muddy and stiff, looking like a thousand-year-old dryad about to perish.

His mouth fluctuated and said: "Destiny is here, fate is like this, you can't escape, and we ...... There is no escape. ”

As he spoke, he could only hear a crackling sound of wood, and in the center of the old man's eyebrows, a small opening was opened, and a faint golden light was emitted from the small mouth.

The corners of his mouth pulled out a smile very stiffly: "Child, come here." ”

Brian's mind was a mess at the moment, and it all happened too fast.

How could he not see that this old man was about to return to Chaos.

His soul, his origin, were all transformed into the power of the mountain spirit and integrated into his palm.

"For ...... What?" said Bailian stepped forward, stunned in his heart.

A golden thread of light appeared in the center of the old man's eyebrows, as slender as ordinary human hair, slowly floating down.

As if it had a life and consciousness of its own, the light filament was gently wrapped around Brian's fingertips.

The old man's gaze fell on the golden thread, as if he saw the near future, and the wooden eyes inadvertently revealed a faint sadness and sorrow.

He said slowly: "Child, you have put this silk thread away, it will be of great use to you in the near future." ”

Brian's face was complicated, and he looked down at the golden light on his fingertips that quickly turned pitch black after leaving the old man's body.

"Can you take back your golden seal, I can't be bound by this mountain like you, I'm going to find my lost memories. ”

"Huh, bondage?"

The desolation in the old man's eyes was even worse: "You are not wrong when you say so, I have broken God's punishment, far away from my home and homeland, and here I will be punished, waiting for the day when I can return home."

But 10,000 years is enough to change a lot of things, I picked up Lin Yuan and Guiyuan successively and raised them as my own children.

Gradually...... I found out that they were here, and it was also a home. The bondage became a voluntary prison, and even though I could not leave this water, I found that I was willing.

The moment this thought was formed in my mind, I knew it...... I am no longer a god, but a mortal who has been assimilated by the mountains and forests of this earth, and I can no longer ...... I can't go back to that place. ”

In the midst of deep desolation, but with precious warmth.

"Child, I only ask you for one thing, to protect this mountain for me, as well as Guiyuan and Xiaoyuan, the story of the two of them will continue on you. ”

Brian is a man who admits reason, and he never promises easily.

Because he knew that once the promise was kept, he would do it.

Now that such a heavy burden has been weighed, he doesn't know how to take it for a while.

The old man smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are different from me, I am guarding this mountain to atone for my sins, so in order to protect it, I must pay the price of freedom."

And you protect this mountain, it is not about atonement and responsibility, but the destiny of heaven, which cannot bind your freedom, and you can leave the mountain at any time. ”

The mind that is usually good at shrewd calculations can't help but be a little dizzy at this moment.

Bai Lian looked up at the old man with a gray face, and said in a sad mood: "If you die, Lin Guiyuan and Sister Lin Yuan will be sad." ”

"There is no feast in the world, and they will meet better people. ”

There was no fear of death on the old man's face, only the ease of liberation.

Brian lowered his head a little sadly: "I don't understand. ”

It's ridiculous how much this is happening.

He is just a corpse demon who has lost his life, and he is extremely reluctant to protect himself, how to protect the creatures of this mountain.

He suddenly realized......

It turned out that from the moment he met Xiaoluer, its inexplicable closeness and joy were all in this cycle of cause and effect.

The old man's eyes moved slightly, as if he noticed something changed: "It's time for a good boy, it's time for you to get out of here." ”

"Leave?" Brian's eyes widened, confused again.

Didn't you say that he should guard this empty mountain?

Why did you let him go again?

Without giving him time to think, a thick vine with the power to break through the gold broke through the ground and smashed in the direction of Brian.

Brian subconsciously raised his hand to block, and the fierce wind swept in, and the vines did not fall directly on him, but fiercely rolled up a fierce wind, sweeping him into the ancient well.

There was a splash of water.

This time, it was not his soul that fell into the sea of stars, but disappeared into the ancient well with his physical body.

......

......

When Brian, whose consciousness was swallowed up by the water of the galaxy well, woke up again, he found himself in a room.

The room was peaceful and very clean.

There was not much furnishings in the room, only a bed, a low table, and a rickety green lamp.

He was covered with a blanket of unknown animal fur, and there was a faint sound of sleep under the bed.

Brian looked down, but it was the fawn lying asleep under his bed.

It's like a big dream......

He hurriedly raised his palm, looking at the palm print that had long been interrupted by the lifeline, he pondered for a moment, and then used the spiritual power in his body to guide it into his palm.

In an instant, a scorching and warm golden light flashed from his cold palm, and the faint imprint of the spiritual platform in the light told him.

That night he was in the water, and what happened to the old man in the tree was not a dream.

He fell into that magical ancient well, and then he appeared here?

And what's even more surprising is that the little deer who was supposed to be in the mountain realm also appeared here with him.

Why is this happening?

The old man of the ancient tree entrusted everything in the empty mountains to his hands.

Between the lines, there is a sincere request, hoping that he can continue the mission of guarding Kongcang Mountain for him.

But in that case...... Why did you teleport him away again?

The chaotic mind suddenly cleared up between deducing and thinking slowly and methodically.

His clear eyes widened suddenly, and Brian lifted the blanket on his body and got out of bed, his face as pale as paper.

Wrong!

The old man's move seemed to have predicted in advance what would happen in Kongcang Mountain.

That's why he, the newly appointed and weak mountain master, was teleported to another safe place.

If Brian still had a heartbeat at this moment, he would have already had a heartbeat like a war drum under his chest.

Brian stood there for more than three breaths, his mind blank for a moment, only to realize that the room he was in didn't seem to be real.

Ups and downs, like a sinking boat on the sea.
