It's a world full of life, green as far as the eye can see.

The green grass was windless and automatic, twisting its slender waist pole, as if bowing to Ma Fangyu.

The green vines are intertwined and spread in all directions, like swimming snakes.

The green sea is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the sky on the surface of the lake, and it looks like the sky and the earth are indistinguishable.

......

Ma Fangyu took a deep breath, he could feel the full vitality around him, this was a scene he had never seen before.

Ma Fangyu was puzzled, recalling that he had been sucked into the trunk of the tree, and in the blink of an eye, he had entered this alternative world.

Could it be that this is the inside of the trunk? But after thinking about it, Ma Fangyu felt that it was impossible, how big could the trunk be, how could it accommodate such a vast piece of the world.

Just as Ma Fangyu was puzzled, an old voice suddenly sounded, "Three million and six hundred thousand years, you are the first person to come here." ”

The sound came from nowhere, and it seemed to come from all directions, making Ma Fangyu nowhere to be found.

He could only ask in a certain direction, "Where is this?"

The old voice replied, "You should know that this is the inner world of the Wood of Immortality. ”

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu couldn't believe it, shook his head and said, "You don't want to lie to me, I've also seen the Immortal Tree, how can it fit such a big world?"

"Hahaha......" The voice laughed loudly for a while, and then asked, "You said that you have seen the Eternal Tree, how big is the Eternal Tree?"

Ma Fangyu pondered for a moment, stretched out his arms, and drew a half-sized circle according to the size of the tree trunk he had seen before, and said, "It's this size." ”

The voice was noncommittal, and continued to ask: "Then let me ask you again, how big is your body?"

Ma Fangyu felt very strange about this question, he was standing in front of him, did he still need to ask?

Thinking that since the other party asked, he might as well move his mouth, and replied, "I am only one-third the size of the Immortal Tree." ”

In response, the voice denied: "I don't think you're not, in my eyes, you're the size of an ant." ”

Talking about a person as an ant, Ma Fangyu thought to himself that this speaker was a giant among giants, Ma Fangyu was skeptical, shook his head and said: "I still don't believe it, otherwise, you show up to show me, if it is really as you say, I will believe it." ”

The voice laughed: "Boy, you just want to lure me out, anyway, I will meet you sooner or later." ”

The voice fell, but I saw an old man with white hair and white clothes, holding a cane, walking slowly from a distance.

As he got closer and closer to him, Ma Fangyu saw more and more clearly, and couldn't help but express infinite emotion for his appearance.

The old man who appeared was definitely the oldest he had ever seen, his snow-white hair almost hanging down to the ground, the dry wrinkles on his face were like a thousand-year-old book cover, the ravines were clearly visible, and the pace of the old dragon clock, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like it was about to decay.

Until he stood in front of him, and because of his hunched back, he looked even shorter than himself.

Just like this, he was ashamed to say that he was like an ant in front of him, Ma Fangyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Old man, are you dazzled?"

The white-haired old man shook his head, "Definitely, you'll find out later." ”

When the words fell, I saw him smile slightly, and Ma Fangyu saw that his body was rapidly swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, he turned into a giant, and Ma Fangyu looked up, but he couldn't even see his head.

With his current physique, if he regards Ma Fangyu as an ant, it is reasonable.

Ma Fangyu was shocked for a moment, and then retorted: "You are cheating, if I have your ability, I can also make myself so big." ”

The white-haired old man smiled: "Yes, if you take a closer look, have I really gotten bigger?"

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu suddenly felt strange, he watched him grow bigger, how could it be fake?

However, as Ma Fangyu looked around, a look of shock gradually appeared on his face, because he had discovered a big secret.

The surrounding scenery has changed drastically from before, the grass, vines, and green water are gone, and in its place is a large cracked land with countless green grass stems growing high into the sky.

Don't say that the white-haired old man, even in front of these dried grass, he is like a grain of dust.

How could it be like this? Ma Fangyu began to meditate, and gradually, he seemed to have found the answer, and the shock on his face became more and more obvious.

It turns out that it is not the white-haired old man who has changed, but the real change is himself, and it is himself who has become smaller! But why don't you feel anything about it?

"Looking at your appearance, you should see that the clue is coming, yes, it is you who are changing, so that you have the illusion. When human beings look at everything, they will be like you, self-centered, and use their own scale to weigh all things, but they don't know that this scale itself may change. The white-haired old man said as he cast a spell, causing Ma Fangyu's body to gradually return to its original state.

Ma Fangyu seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and began to fall into deep thought.

The white-haired old man continued: "The so-called one flower and one world, one leaf and one Bodhi, due to the limitation of consciousness, a heaven and earth can become a human world, and only a small piece of land can become a world of ants. Now, is the world you see really boundless?"

After being reminded by the white-haired old man, Ma Fangyu was like an initiation, and he finally understood.

Come to think of it, it must have been that when I entered the Eternal Tree, my body shrank to a great extent, and my vision also shrank, so that I saw the inner world of the Eternal Wood as a heaven and earth.

Thinking of this, Ma Fangyu finally understood the deep meaning of the white-haired old man's words, he just wanted to tell himself a truth through this matter, human consciousness has limitations, and this limitation is likely to cover his eyes, thus blinding himself, so as to make wrong judgments.

Ma Fangyu woke up like a dream, he raised his right hand and squeezed it vigorously on his arm with his left hand, until a strong pain hit his brain.

At this time, Ma Fangyu was as happy as a child, and couldn't help but sigh again and again: "This is true, this is true!"

It is true that what I saw and heard this time was not an illusory space dominated by consciousness, but a real space.

Ma Fangyu was relieved, no longer dwelling on this matter, and instead bowed to the white-haired old man and asked, "Dare to ask the old man, who are you?"

This question seems to be an unavoidable topic, and the white-haired old man knows it, but he did not answer directly, but said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are!"

Ma Fangyu replied respectfully: "The junior is Ma Fangyu, a disciple of the Nine Heavens Sect!"

When the white-haired old man heard this, he shook his head and said solemnly: "No, you are not, or you are now, but you will not be in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Fangyu was confused and couldn't understand it at all, so he had to ask, "Old man, what do you mean by this?"

The white-haired old man seemed to know something, but at this time, he sold Guan Zi and said, "This answer can only be found by yourself!"

said that half of it was hidden and half was half, Ma Fangyu was very speechless, but he could only accept it in front of him, thinking that he was not an immortal who could pinch and calculate, and what he said might not be realized, so now he has the right to listen to it as a joke.

Later, Ma Fangyu asked another question, "Old man, did you bring me in?"

The white-haired old man shook his head and said, "No, there is only one way to get in, and that is to break in from the outside, and you can come here to prove that you are destined." ”

Ma Fangyu likes these three words very much, as a destined person of the Wood of Eternal Life, Ma Fangyu wants to know what kind of opportunity he will get next.

He asked a little impatiently, "Old man, do I need to do anything now?"

The white-haired old man replied, "You don't need to do anything, you just need to listen carefully to every word and word I say next." ”

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu put on a posture and prepared to listen.

The white-haired old man stroked his beard and began to say: "Hongmeng opens, two qi is born, everyone in the world knows that the two qi are divided into yin and yang, but few people know that one qi can transform into five elements, and the five elements are gold, wood, water, fire and earth, everything is within the five elements." Water is born from Taiyi, fire is born from Taichu, wood is born from Taishi, gold is born from Taisu, and earth is born from Taiji. The five elements are mutually beneficial, gold is born of water, wood is born of fire, and gold is born of earth, and gold is born of water, and fire is born of gold. ”

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu was already so shocked that he couldn't speak, this was a truth he had never heard before, even if he looked through the library of the Jiuxiao Sect, there was no record of the five elements. It seems that the theory of the five elements is indeed little known.

At this time, the white-haired old man's voice continued to sound, "The Wood of Eternal Life, as the name suggests, is the essence of the wood that represents the new life. The old man is the spirit of the wood, and today the old man was able to wake up because of the merger of the two bodies. ”

In fact, Ma Fangyu had already guessed the identity of the white-haired old man, and now that he heard him say it himself, he was sure.

"You are the spirit of wood, I have seen the spirit of earth and gold before, presumably they are the earth and gold of the five elements?" asked Ma Fangyu.

The white-haired old man nodded, "Yes, I don't know about the Golden Spirit, but the person who wants to kill you outside is indeed the Earth Spirit, and it is precisely because of Mu Ketu that he can't get close to me." ”

So so, Ma Fangyu finally relieved a doubt in his heart. For this reason, he bowed to the old man in front of him again and said, "Speaking of this, I would like to thank you for saving your life. ”

The white-haired old man shook his hand and said, "Saving you is not my intention, but the law of the five elements, so you don't have to thank me." ”

Hearing this, Ma Fangyu became no longer polite, and a sly smile appeared on his face.
