The demon group outside the temple has dispersed, but in order to prevent the demon group from being ambushed, he did not dare to rashly take Qingyang out of Lanruo Temple, and he still had to wait until Azhu moved to rescue the troops before he could safely take Qingyang away.

Once a basin of water was fetched from the well for Qingyang to wash. He brought the water back to the room, and saw that Qingyang hadn't gotten up yet, and he didn't know what to do now, so he lay on the table, remembering the story the old man had told him just now.

Although the love story of Xuandu Hongyu is poignant and touching, it is a tragic ending after all, and I can't help but fantasize about what the person in my life will be like?

Fantasized about the pathos, and once patted his face, so that he could sober up a little, and don't think about these things. I had nothing to do early in the morning, so I had to hold my cheeks, shake my legs, and put on a bored face.

I don't know which tendon in my brain is on the line, and once I suddenly remembered something, my arm slipped, I didn't hold my head, and I slammed on the table.

"Oops——, I almost forgot!"

He remembered that he had come to Lanruo Temple for an important mission, that is, to get the ashes of the incense burner here.

Once he walked quickly to the bed, he wanted to wake up Qingyang. Whispered a few times in his ear, "Qingyang, Qingyang, wake up, wake up, wake up......"

This girl sleeps like a dead pig!

Seeing that he couldn't wake her up, he had no choice but to give up, and went to the old man in the temple alone to inquire about the ashes of the incense burner.

As soon as I came to the courtyard, I couldn't see the figure of the old man left and right, only a freshly sharpened axe in front of me, leaning against the corner of the wall over there.

At this time, the courtyard seemed to be empty, and it was surprisingly quiet. I once wanted to walk around a few times to see if I could find anything, but there was not even a statue of a god to worship along the way, let alone the shadow of an incense burner.

After wandering around, I didn't know how to get to a very dilapidated room.

The doors and windows of the house were in tatters, none of the furniture was intact, they were all crooked, the corners were overgrown with weeds, and the moss was crawling all over the walls. Once I walked into the house, I inadvertently found a lot of sword marks on the wall, and after careful observation, I found that not only the wall, but also the pillars, beams, and furniture were also broken by the sword. However, these sword marks look like they are some old ruins, and there must have been some kind of fight here a long time ago.

When he came out of the dilapidated house, he felt that he could not find any clues, and instead of stumbling around like a headless fly, it was better to wait until he saw the old man and ask him about the whereabouts of the ashes of the incense burner.

I wanted to go back to my room first, but when I passed by the courtyard planted with a peach tree, I saw Qingyang cutting down the peach tree with an axe.

Unexpectedly, this crazy girl would do such a thing, and shouted "stop" as soon as she ran over.

Qingyang was so frightened by this that he almost didn't grasp the axe, "What is your name? ”

He quickly snatched the axe from Qingyang's hand, his face was full of anger, and he asked, "You, you, do you know what you're doing now?"

"Are you blind? Don't you see me cutting down trees?"

"My aunt, do you know what tree you cut down?"

Once pressed the anger into his heart.

"What's so great about this tree? Didn't the lord cut down two branches of it?"

Qingyang looked at Yichao with a reasonable face, wanting to recapture the axe, but was blocked by Yichao.

"What are you chopping branches for?"

"Chop down trees for firewood. ”

"What do you want firewood for?"

"This well water is too cold to wash my face, I want to boil the water, and the lord of this county doesn't need to wash his face with cold water. ”

"You want firewood to collect, why do you want to cut down this tree?"

"I couldn't find firewood in the firewood room, and when I looked back and saw an axe here, I thought I wouldn't have to go through any trouble to find it, so I would just chop it myself. ”

once sighed, after all, Qingyang is still a big lady, how can she chop wood, she can't even use her strength, it's just that the class has an axe, and she can't do it herself.

The fortunate thing in the misfortune is that Qingyang cut the branches, not the main trunk, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. The tree had only been cut off two branches the size of a human arm, and the trunk had only been scratched with a few axe marks, which was not a big deal overall.

Once he didn't have time to explain the origin of the tree to Qingyang, he asked her to quickly hide the cut branches first and take care of the aftermath himself.

Qingyang's unhappiness on this face was not hidden at all, and the eldest lady's temperament and her anger when she got up was standing there without moving, and she was blocked for a while.

"My aunt, I've taken you......"

In desperation, he had to promise that he would bring a basin of hot water to her after a while, so Qingyang gave up, reluctantly picked up the two tree poles, and dragged towards the room.

The old man has not come back yet, so he has to quickly clean up the mess at the scene, once he first put the axe back in place, and then swept away all the broken branches and leaves.

But the tragic condition of the tree itself could not be concealed, and he could only wait for the old man to come back, and then plead for forgiveness.

Suddenly, he felt his heart tremble, and his mood suddenly fell cold, and he felt uncomfortable, as if he had heard someone hissing somewhere, and the voice was extremely weak but miserable.

In fact, this feeling has been there since Qingyang started cutting down trees, but it suddenly became stronger, overshadowing other feelings.

He looked at the peach tree beside him consciously, and looked at the notch of its severed branches, which was like a living person with severed limbs. Suddenly, I saw the gap bleeding, the blood-red liquid slowly flowed out, and the hissing sound next to my ears became clearer.

Is it it? Is it the tree screaming in pain?

Once he put his hand on the tree, he wanted to connect with this peach tree again.

Yes, it is indeed it that is screaming in grief!

Once I felt that the branches of this tree had been cut off, it was like a person who had broken his hands and feet, and the pain made its heart tremble constantly, and once its heart trembled with it.

It seemed that the pain of just breaking the branch could be felt at one time, and he saw a tide of blood rolling up, blood surging in, engulfing himself in an instant, and suddenly there was a scream, as if he had endured it for a long time, and finally it broke out, like a thin needle, and the lightning flashed into Yichao's ear.

For a long time, his mind went blank, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had fallen to the ground, and when he looked at the tree again, new branches had grown from the gap in the tree, as if they had not been cut down, and there was no strange sound in his ears.

It turns out that this tree can empathize with those who have "connected" with it, and make people see illusions. In fact, the tree does not bleed, it does not make a hissing sound, everything is a fantasy in the human mind.

This peach tree has such a strong healing power that it only took a while to be able to grow new branches again.

Finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that in this way, Qingyang's tree cutting could also be hidden. After all, it is unreasonable to cut down other people's trees without permission, and he does not understand the temperament of the old man, so it will be difficult for him to pursue it.

I don't know what the situation is outside the temple, whether the group of monsters has not yet retreated, and once I wanted to hurry up to get the ashes of the incense burner I needed, and when the reinforcements came, I would take Qingyang back early.

Once he returned to the room, he didn't see Qingyang's figure. Rather than worrying about what danger Qingyang would encounter, he was even more afraid that she would cause any trouble again. So I want to find her right away and keep an eye on her.

searched around, but I couldn't find the girl in Qingyang, but I ran into the old gentleman.

I just wanted to find the person I was looking for, but I couldn't find it, and now I was looking for the person I was looking for now, but I found the person I just wanted to find, and I didn't know how to describe my mood at the moment.

"Can the old gentleman see the girl who is with me?"

"I haven't seen her since I said goodbye last night. ”

"I don't know where this girl has gone. ”

"Childe doesn't have to worry, as long as there is this peach tree, the monster will not dare to enter the temple for half a step, I think the Qingyang girl must still be in the temple, let's go and find ......"

"Let's ignore this girl first, I think she must be wandering around the temple, she will naturally come back later, by the way, don't hide it from the old man, I really came to Lanruo Temple this time for one thing, and I hope the old man can help." ”

Once told the old man about the ashes of the hundred-year-old incense burner of Lanruo Temple, to his surprise, the old man happened to know where to take the ashes of the incense burner, and did not ask much about the reason, he told the incense burner ash here is more, take as much as you want.

So, the old man went with him to get the ashes of the incense burner. The two came to a ruined temple. As soon as the door is opened, the dust on the beam is shaken, the portrait of the heavenly master is enshrined in this temple, the oil paint of the portrait is faded, the offering platform is also full of dust, the lamp is scattered, there is an incense burner in the middle of the hall, someone is generally high, the bottom of the furnace is three-legged, the furnace body is a six-pointed star-shaped pavilion body, the three pillars support the round spire heavy eaves of the stove top, but the furnace ears are full of cobwebs.

As soon as I opened the door of the incense ash cover at the bottom of the furnace, I looked down and saw that the furnace was full of white ash. Once he swept out the ashes with his hands and filled a small cloth bag, he was able to obtain the ashes of the incense burner that he needed for the five elements, and his joy was palpable.

When the old man saw this, he laughed, and he told him that this incense burner was no different from that of other Taoist temples, and there was nothing special about it.

"The incense burner ash is found in every Taoist temple, but you can go to Lanruo Temple to get it, presumably because it is unique to Lanruo Temple, and it is the only one!" The old man walked to the window as he spoke, opening the window to let the light in, so that people could see clearly what was on the altar.

It turned out that what the old man wanted to see for a while was an incense burner on the stage the size of a human head.

The old man wiped off the dust on the stove, and under the sunlight, the body of the furnace was emitted with purple and gold light, and with each change of angle, the light was one layer deeper or lighter.

Once I walked and looked, the shape of this thing in front of me was like a vegetable jar for women pickles, the altar body was fat and the three legs were short, especially its top cover, like a lotus flower, a lion-shaped sitting beast squatted on the lotus canopy in the heart of the flower, and the forefoot stepped on the colored ball.

"Is this pedestal carved with a lion?" asked him.

It is called Suān Ní, one of the nine sons of the dragon, is a fierce beast, shaped like a lion, can eat tigers and leopards, likes to smoke and sit, and is often carved on the top of the incense burner. ”

"That's what makes this thing special?"

"Not really, this thing is an artifact, there is a famous 'incense burner', from the Western Regions, a hundred years ago into the Middle Earth. Whatever is burned with it, the smoke produced is purple. When the incense is burned, the beast will open its mouth, and the smoke will be spewed out, floating into the air, turning into a dragon, like a purple gas soaring into the sky, the dragon soars into the clouds, and the incense in the furnace can be burned for a hundred years without extinguishing. This furnace is a good thing, and the town temple can keep the incense continuous! This is why the Lanruo Temple has been full of incense since it was built. ”

The old man opened the lid of the incense burner, poured out a bowl of ashes, and gave it to Ichichao, telling him that it was the ember of the incense burned a hundred years ago.

Once I took the ashes, my palm touched the wall of the furnace, and I clearly felt that although the ashes in the bowl could not be burned, the walls of the furnace still maintained the temperature, and the ashes seemed to have just burned out, which made people unable to believe that the ashes had been burning for a hundred years.
