Feng Shuzhu took Shui Lingyue's hand, and slowly walked towards the fantasy tree step by step, the crystal bright spots on the huge canopy flashed with magical light among the branches and leaves, like a faint starlight, reflected in the eyes of the two.

The ground, which originally looked dark and hard, was surprisingly soft when stepped on, like the belly of a sleeping giant lying down with its breathing, and the two of them were one foot deep and one foot shallow, and they moved forward in the ups and downs.

When they approached the fantasy tree a few feet away, the two of them felt a wave of heat rushing towards their faces, in this cold and dark seaside, there was no lack of warmth, the heat rose up and down, and the clothes that were originally soaked in the sea water became dry and comfortable in a few moments.

Shui Lingyue's frosty and snow-like face, under the brilliance of the Water Moon Sword and the Fantasy Tree, looks extremely bright and beautiful. The darkness seemed to fade because of her cold beauty, and a soft divine light surrounded her.

Slowly, facing the magical light of the Fantasy Tree, the two came to the bottom of the tree, they held hands, looked up at the tree together, and under the aura of the tree, it was as if they had walked into a fairy tale world.

Here, it is the only place of light in the boundless darkness, and the faint light gently spills down from the canopy, bringing a long-lost warmth, more like a spiritual comfort, like a person who travels far away at night, seeing a little light from afar.

When I got closer, I found that this mysterious tree was huge, the bloated trunk was glowing with blue-white light, and there were countless thin branches, like tree roots, tightly grasping the black void above, and the leafy canopy covered a square acre of size, like a huge umbrella, which was held up high.

Feng Shuzhu raised his hand and stroked his palm on the bloated and thick trunk, the fingertips came with a trace of cold coolness, and the bark was even harder, forming a huge contrast with the bloated and fat image.

"The bark is so hard. Feng Shuzhu said to Shui Lingyue beside him.

Shui Lingyue didn't answer, but her face was indifferent and expressionless, and she led the Shui Yue Sword to her side, and looked up at the trunk of the tree in front of her with a pair of cold eyes.

Looking closely, I suddenly found that the bright spots in the canopy that looked flickering from a distance were actually fist-sized fruits, shiny, scattered all over the canopy, like stars in the dark night, blinking and blinking, which made people intoxicated.

There was silence in all directions, for fear of disturbing this rare and wonderful fairy tale world, even breathing cautiously, the two were silent, but they held each other's hands tightly, feeling the temperature from each other, it was a heart-to-heart exchange.

The canopy of the tree is even more fragrant, refreshing, smelling makes people feel more relaxed and comfortable, like a spring breeze, and the dark and cold seaside on the other side of the cliff is like two different spaces, as if the vitality in the body is also full, and the physical strength is slowly recovering.

Feng Shuzhu and Shui Lingyue had a good heart, turned around almost at the same time, held hands, leaned on the trunk and sat down, and the refreshing coldness of the trunk came from the back, just like two hikes

The trekker finally found a place to rest, looking up at the divine light in the canopy of the trees, looking back at the dark and winding mountain road when he came, bathing in the soft light of the trees, letting his mood fly.

In the intoxication, it almost makes people forget where they are, all the cold, nervousness, and vigilance are swept away, and under the big tree, it seems to have become the most comfortable and warm place in the world. In this way, it would be nice to sit quietly by the big tree all the time.

Just when the two of them were intoxicated with this fairytale-like wonderful world, suddenly, there was a violent undulating shaking from under them, as if some kind of strange beast woke up and wanted to break out of the ground, Feng Shuzhu immediately held Shui Lingyue's hand hard, pulled Shui Lingyue up, and at the same time, his body shook, and he leaned over to her, observing the surroundings with vigilant eyes.

Shui Lingyue felt the strength of his clenching, a little painful but accompanied by a sense of security, Shui Lingyue didn't look at him, but he could clearly feel his breathing on his side, maybe it was a heartbeat, feeling the existence of this man, this man who came to protect him as soon as he was the slightest disturbant, and it seemed that after the hands of the two were entangled by the wisteria, his nervousness was even more than before.

At the same time, the water and moon sword light hovering in the air on his side is magnificent, and the divine light of the fantasy tree, clutch and intersect, as if they are a pair of old friends who have been separated for a long time, and they reunite again by chance.

Shui Lingyue was very puzzled by this vision, but as soon as all her thoughts arose, she was disturbed by the ups and downs of the ground.

In front of the two of them, the fantasy tree also trembled, shaking violently, stirring up the "rattling" between the branches and leaves. In a few moments, those fruits that grew in mid-air and shone among the branches actually fell like snowflakes.

The fall was so gentle, so slow, the shining points of light broke away from the canopy, more like fireflies in the night sky, flashing and flashing, descending from mid-air, surrounding the two of them, strings, little by little, weaving countless staggered flying streamers, which made people happy and intoxicated.

Shui Lingyue slowly raised her hand, spread out her jade-like palm, and gently caught a falling fruit, the fruit that looked firm and full, slowly fell to the palm, but it was like a light dream, it was so gentle, people couldn't feel a trace of weight, if it wasn't for the eyes, they couldn't perceive its existence at all.

With a novelty, and as if she was worried that it would be blown away by the breeze if she wasn't careful, Shui Lingyue held her breath, slowly withdrew her hand, and put it in front of the two of them. The eyes of the two fell on the fruit together, only to see that the fruit looked like a gourd, but it had both eyebrows and eyes, and gave birth to a pair of eyes as clear as a child, still blinking, like a doll that had just landed, came to this world, opened its eyes and saw its parents for the first time, nervous and scared with a little curiosity.

After looking at it for a long time, Feng Shuzhu suddenly spoke: "It seems that this is the legendary green tree." ”

Shui Lingyue looked at the radiant magical fruit in her palm, and said curiously: "Qingqing Tree?"

The wind is sparse

Zhu snorted, and continued: "Legend has it that there is a mysterious underground world, called the Youyou Sea, there is a magical tree on the seaside, called the green tree, its fruit blooms every thousand years, bears fruit every thousand years, and the fruit that falls down will mature after another thousand years, and you can stay young forever after eating, and your face will not be old. ”

The green tree fruit lying in Shui Lingyue's palm seemed to be listening to their conversation half-incomprehensibly, but as if it was afraid of being eaten immediately, its eyebrows were upside down, its mouth was wide open, and it protested angrily at the two.

Feng Shuzhu saw it in his eyes, stretched out his finger with a smile, pointed at the green tree fruit, and said, "What, are you afraid of being eaten?"

The fruit of the green tree shook its eyes when it saw that the wind and bamboo spoke, and after thinking for a while, it shook its head vigorously, as if to answer, and after a while, its facial expression changed again, making a pitiful begging form.

Feng Shuzhu smiled: "Eat you, it will be a thousand years later." ”

Hearing this, Qingqingshu Fruit squinted at his eyes, thinking and thinking, as if he had no concept of the word "thousand years", but as if he knew that the two people in front of him would not eat him immediately, he changed his appearance as if nothing had happened, and pretended to be calm.

Feng Shuzhu glanced at Shui Lingyue and said, "Maybe you are the first person who can eat the fruit of the green tree." ”

Shui Lingyue held the green tree fruit in her hand, seeing it squeezing her eyebrows, a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth, she thought about it, and said, "Another thousand years, I haven't had time to eat it, I'm afraid I'm already old." ”

Feng Shuzhu took over the conversation and said with a smile, "Then you can wait for a thousand years, eat it, and you can return to your appearance." As she spoke, she looked at Shui Lingyue deeply, although the shallow smile on the corner of her mouth was gradually receding, but at that moment it seemed to melt her frost-like beautiful face, which was a faint gentleness that was rare in the cold.

After smiling, Shui Lingyue raised her head slightly, glanced at Feng Shuzhu, and said slowly: "Naturally, it's fine." As he spoke, a hint of elusiveness flashed in the depths of his eyes, but then he disappeared, and said, "Since you care so much, I might as well send you." Then he raised his hand and sent the green tree fruit to Feng Shuzhu, and a pair of cold eyes as clear as water stared at Feng Shuzhu.

Feng Shuzhu turned around slightly, didn't look at the green tree fruit, stared at Shui Lingyue, and said softly: "Time is a thousand years, and you can't look back on the years." ”

Hearing this, Shui Lingyue lowered her head silently, as if she was evading, and as if she was pretending not to understand, her clear cold eyes reflected the light of the green tree fruit.

The two of them, along with the green tree fruit with a changeable expression, fell silent together.

Perhaps, the green tree fruit in Shui Lingyue's hand was very surprised, and he couldn't figure out what the two people in front of him wanted, one would eat himself, one would not eat himself, and the other would push himself around, but how did it know that the pair of men and women in front of him were already in a state of mind at this moment.

In silence, time, at that moment, also slowed down, far away

Looking from afar, in the boundless darkness, under a big shining tree, a man and a woman stood silently facing each other, the woman's eyes were lowered, thoughtful, the man lowered his head slightly, staring at the woman's cheeks like frost and snow.

At that moment, it was as if everything was gone, leaving them alone in the center of light, and the surroundings were so quiet that they could hear each other's slight breathing, and there seemed to be many sentient beings around, listening attentively, waiting for the answer of the cold and beautiful woman.
