Jiang Chumiao seemed to have fallen asleep, his face was a little pale, but other than that, he was not abnormal. Cheng Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief after carefully inspecting her body.

"Sure enough, you know. The woman looked exceedingly glad.

"She's ......"

Cheng Zhaozhao stretched out his hand to touch it, but was blocked back by the vines on the tree.

The woman hurriedly said, "Don't touch it, that girl hasn't woken up yet, and the sacred tree won't let people touch her." ”

"The Sacred Tree?"

The woman explained: "This is the spirit tree unique to our Sun and Moon Country, in addition to the ten giant god trees in the national capital, there are also ninety spirit trees scattered throughout the country, where there are sacred trees, there are villages, and the villagers in our small fishing village rely on this sacred tree to survive. ”

As the woman spoke, Cheng Zhaozhao was looking at the sacred tree, which looked no different from the trees passing by in the forest.

Like a huge sycamore, the tree is tall and burly, with knotless trunks and thick side branches, and its crown is oval.

The bark of the sacred tree is smooth, and it is lush and vibrant from the trunk to the branches.

At this time, a leaf slowly fell, and Cheng Zhaozhao stretched out his hand to take it, but saw that the leaf was heart-shaped, with a smooth bottom and a slightly pointed tip.

As the leaves fell, the woman beside her exclaimed, and then quickly knelt down.

When Cheng Zhaozhao turned his head, he was already kneeling behind him.

The women said something in their mouths, their faces were terrified, and their hands were spread straight on the ground, so that their bodies were as low as possible and kept parallel to the ground.

It was as if they were doing some kind of prayer ritual.

The woman noticed that Cheng Zhaozhao was still standing in place, and immediately reached out and pulled her.

Cheng Zhaozhao thought about it and squatted down.

Seeing this, the woman said no more, but continued with her previous actions.

After a cup of tea, the prayer was over, and the woman got up, and the women behind her stood up one after another.

At this time, the woman stretched out her hands towards Cheng Zhaozhao.

Cheng Zhaozhao was puzzled for a while, and when he saw the woman's eyes staring at the fallen leaves in her hand reverently, Cheng Zhaozhao reacted and carefully placed the leaves in her palm.

The woman held it as if she were holding a peerless treasure, and then carefully held the leaf and walked under the sacred tree.

After a while, the leaf was placed in a square pit, and the woman turned back.

The woman said, "Girl, you are not from our Sun and Moon Kingdom, are you?"

Cheng Zhaozhao thought for a while and nodded: "No." ”

"No wonder, when the people of our Sun and Moon Kingdom saw the fallen leaves of the Divine Tree, their first reaction was to confess, but you don't even know this rule. Although the woman didn't blame Cheng Zhaozhao, it could be seen that she hoped that Cheng Zhaozhao would abide by this rule next time.

"Why is that?" Cheng Zhaozhao asked.

"The Sacred Tree is the incarnation of the gods of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, and every time one person is saved, the Divine Tree will drop a leaf, it is it that protects us from the curse of the Sun and the Moon, and it also uses its own life to save people. ”

As she spoke, the woman looked at Jiang Chumiao on the vine.

At this moment, Jiang Chumiao's face was already ruddy, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The woman said, "This girl is much more unlucky than you, she was dragged in by the sacred tree, and when she came in, she was covered with gravel, and if she came in a little later, she would be hopeless." ”

Jiang Chumiao opened her eyes and immediately sat up, and when she saw Cheng Zhaozhao under the tree, the panic in her eyes gradually dissipated.

"Senior Sister Cheng. ”

"Senior Sister Jiang, are you okay?"

Jiang Chumiao got up, condensed his spiritual power, and found that his body was fine, and quickly jumped down from the tree vine.

"It's fine. ”

It turned out that when she first woke up, she found that her feet were wrapped in heavy sand and gravel, and she couldn't move at all.

She immediately sensed that something was wrong, and sacrificed the flying boat to carry herself away from the strange sand.

Until she rushed into a forest, her stiff hands could no longer support her to inject aura into the flying boat.

The flying boat hit a tree, she also fainted, and when she woke up, she saw Cheng Zhaozhao and the group of women.

Cheng Zhaozhao explained to her what was happening here.

Jiang Chumiao heard that Zhao Yuanlang and Mu Shengxun were all right, and he felt very relieved.

"It's just, why did we become like this, and they are fine?" Cheng Zhaozhao was puzzled.

The woman sighed and said, "This is the curse of the Sun and Moon Kingdom. ”

It was not the first time Cheng Zhaozhao had heard the word 'curse', and immediately asked, "What is this curse?"

Hearing this, the woman and the other women looked sad.

Beside the woman, a girl named Abbe sang softly.

With the singing, the woman spoke.

The country of the sun and the moon, as the name suggests, is a country that believes in the sun and the moon.

In the past, the Sun and Moon Kingdom and the people were safe, and all the people here had powerful physique and elf-like faces, they were industrious and kind, and lived a rich life.

Until 3,000 years ago, a meteor from outside the sky fell and hit the Sun and Moon Altar in the Sun and Moon Country.

Since then, if a child is born with a strong physique, it must be that he is not good-looking, dark-skinned, and mentally retarded.

If a child with an elf-like face is delicate and frail, he is riddled with diseases, but he must be extremely intelligent.

Over time, the Sun and Moon Kingdom became polarized.

Most of the civilians were dull, like the village chiefs, who were strong and strong, and had brute strength.

Clever people rule the Sun and Moon Kingdom, become the royal family and nobles here, and have elf-like appearances, although they are delicate and frail, and they are sick all the year round, but they have an extremely long lifespan.

The common people are willing to be mediocre, and the royal family also knows how to treat the people well, and the two get along peacefully.

It was not until the advent of the third kind of people that this calm was broken.

That is the immortal cultivators, but they are all from the open sea, and they only account for a very small part of the Sun and Moon Kingdom.

The current national teacher of the Sun and Moon Kingdom is an immortal cultivator.

The Sun and Moon Kingdom has always been a peaceful country in the past, but hundreds of years ago, the royal family and the immortal cultivators had a conflict, and the Sun Moon Kingdom fell into turmoil, causing countless subjects to suffer from war.

Although the royal family is not as powerful as the immortal cultivators, they can mobilize the spiritual energy of all sides of the heaven and earth to restrain the immortal cultivators' spell casting. It will also organize powerful civilians to counterattack when the monks are unable to cast spells.

The war lasted for decades, after which the immortal cultivators reached an agreement with the royal family and civilians to coexist peacefully.

But after that great war, all the women of the Sun and Moon Kingdom, whether they were royalty, civilians, or immortal cultivators, could not walk outside during the day.

Because once they walk, they will be swallowed by the Hellstone, becoming a sandstone sculpture.

As a result, the women had to hide in dense forests, swamps, and underground, where there was no sunlight, and could only go out at night.

No one knew what was going on, and over time, everyone called it the curse of the Sun and Moon Kingdom.
