Chapter 153: Bottomless Tree Hole
"Old man, I want to borrow you a branch!" Xifu said in a very small voice, knowing where he borrowed this frame, it was clearly a bully, and the target of the bullying was an old man, and he was very reluctant to go, but the sycamore branch was an important weapon against Zhu Fang, so he couldn't do without.
The old dryad nodded, stretched out a tree trunk in front of Xifu, and let it be plucked, with an expression on his face that looked at death as if he were at home.
Xifu picked a branch with the thickness of a big finger and picked it up, and put it in the storage ring, "Old man, I will repay you in every possible way in the future, I heard that there is a kind of soil in ancient times that is resting soil, full of spiritual power, suitable for the growth of immortal medicine! I will do my best to find it for you!"
"It's enough to have a girl!cough~" Obviously, the old dryad didn't believe Xifu's words very much, not that Xifu was deliberately deceiving him, but that this soil was not a human thing, where can I find it?
Finally, the old dryad stepped out of the leg-like roots and walked slowly, coughing as he went. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on it, dragging its shadow for a long time, and there was a lonely and miserable mood spreading in the hearts of everyone.
Who would have thought that 30,000 years later, only such a half-dead remnant is left to live in the world, the years have worn away its majestic posture, and it has also eroded its arrogance, leaving only such a life that will be extinguished at any time, only to live for survival, and the twilight of the hero is the greatest sorrow!
The four of them finally recovered from such a sad atmosphere, and the red lady spoke first, "What is the use of my sister wanting this red golden sycamore?
Xifu nodded and told the story of the matter.
After hearing this, the red lady said calmly, "I see, it's just a Zhu Fang, the phoenix blood is thin, you have this red golden sycamore to deal with it, it's more than enough!" Then he turned around and communicated with Da Bai in a language that Xifu didn't understand, and then said to Xifu, "Sister, then I will say goodbye to Da Bai, we still have business to deal with when we go back to the mountain!"
Da Bai nodded three times at Xifu, raised his head and let out a long roar, flapped his giant wings and flew away, and soon disappeared into the sky.
Xifu got up and flew in the other direction.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xifu landed on a river embankment, surrounded by darkness, and the peculiar smell of earth and plants came from it, which was where Lin Dalong stole Zhu Fang's eggs.
Xifu summoned blue smoke, as a ghost, she would be more comfortable with such a dark night. Blue Smoke appeared, cautiously looking around, the ghost's eyes emitting a faint blue light.
Xifu lifted his true power to his eyes and looked around. This is a country road that can only be passed by one person, and on one side is the river pond, and the lotus leaves in the pond have turned yellow, and it is autumn. On one side is the rice field, the rice is heavy, and the rice is bent, and it seems that the harvest will soon be carried out.
"It's weird, there's a woods out there. Xifu was surprised. According to Lin Zhuangzhi, Lin Dalong walked halfway from school when he saw a large sycamore forest, so he went up to the tree to dig out bird eggs and caused trouble.
The location was undoubtedly there, but there was not a single plane tree here, except for a weeping willow or two here and there by the pond, all of which were sickly relaying countless slender branches.
"Blue smoke, have you found anything?"
"The breath is disordered here, but you can't see where the chaos is. Lan Yan replied with a frown.
Xifu nodded, her feelings were the same as those of Blue Smoke.
Xifu released the bun from the storage ring, took a handkerchief used by Lin Dalong, and handed it to the nose of the bun. The bun sniffed three times on the handkerchief, then squealed, and then sniffed on the ground.
Baozi lowered his head and ran around the embankment, sniffing back and forth on the embankment for a distance of five or six feet, and suddenly stopped in one place, sniffed in the same place for more than a dozen breaths, and then accelerated his pace, sniffing almost in a straight line to the bottom of the embankment.
It seems that Baozi has smelled the clue, and several people follow Baozi to run down the river embankment.
Below the embankment stood a row of willow trees, all about the same height and thickness, and when the trunk of the willow tree grew to a certain height, it no longer grew upward, but began to bend and circle, twisting irregularly, which, in the eyes of some, may have a sense of beauty of time, and in the eyes of others, these trees will be gloomy and ominous.
There are many older trees, which have grown hollow, and the heart of the tree is either black or white, with only a layer of bark and a layer of hardwood under the bark below, supporting the many branches on its body, and in the eyes of Xifu, these trees have no beauty, only misery and desolation.
Baozi stopped beside a hollow old willow tree, and with a smug shout at the West Mansion, he sat down at the root of the stump.
"Master Bao, you must have found a clue? but...... It is impossible for Zhu Fang to perch on this old willow tree! It is too lacking in the dignity of the descendants of the Feng clan. ”
"You call it Bao-sama?!" Xifu smiled and pointed to the bun.
Baozi picked up his forelimbs very humanely and glanced at Xifu obliquely, as if he was trying to play the role of a "Bao Lord".
"Okay, okay, don't blame Lord Bao. Xifu said, while walking to the big willow tree, around the big willow tree walked around, there is nothing unusual, just thicker than the tree next to it, two adults can hug it, one foot from the ground, there is a black hole, the hole is just enough to allow a person to jump down.
"Is the weirdness in that hole?" asked Xifu Chong Baozi.
Bun nodded.
Xifu picked up the bun, made a force with both feet, and stood on the edge of the tree hole with a light body. When I looked inside, it was black and seemed to be bottomless. Xifu secretly tried his luck to prepare for the unexpected, and then jumped into the tree hole.
Blue Smoke also jumped after him.
It was pitch black all around, and Xifu felt that his body kept falling, and his feet didn't fall to the ground for a long time.
There's something weird about this tree hole!
But she didn't feel any danger signs.
About a dozen breaths passed, and Xifu's feet reached the hard object. Feel it carefully with your feet, this "hard thing" is not hard, like grass, and sure enough, Xifu still faintly smells the unique breath of grassland.
"It's weird, there's grass in the hollow of the tree. Blue Smoke clinged to Xifu's back and said softly.
Xifu shrugged softly and motioned for Lan Yan not to speak.
It looked like a hole in a tree one foot deep, but after jumping in, she couldn't touch the edge, as if it was a boundless meadow in the dark.
The two of them became more and more nervous as they walked, and it was obviously not a happy thing to walk in such darkness. For fear of attracting foreign objects, Xifu did not dare to light up the fire between his fingers.
I don't know how long I walked, but I suddenly felt a wind blowing in a certain direction.
The two of them were overjoyed, holding hands and walking towards the wind.
Baozi followed them nervously, following closely, not more than one step, not one step behind, and it was obvious that it was also nervous.
