In the midst of his thoughts, Qing Wan's faint voice came in his ears: "What are you thinking?"

One sentence made me stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and hurriedly put her down and said, "You're awake." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"I say, is that how you treat your savior?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she put her down, she suddenly said angrily.

I looked at her puzzled, a little puzzled, and I didn't understand what the situation was.

She looked at me and said angrily, "Idiot, do you think I can go by myself like this?"

Seeing Qingwan, whose face was still a little pale, I suddenly turned around in embarrassment and bent down silently.

Then, Wen Xiang Nephrite Yu carried some weight on my back again.

However, when I saw the scene ahead of Qingwan when I carried Qingwan again, I was stunned again.

At some point, we had stepped out of the street and appeared outside a forest.

"Don't look back. ”

It seems to know my inner thoughts, but when my head moves slightly, Qingwan's voice rings in my ears.

My body trembled slightly, and I was a little curious in my heart: what was behind it, Qingwan wouldn't let me turn back.

Fortunately, I finally restrained that curiosity and didn't look back. Once again, follow Kikige's pace.

Walk among the ancient and eerie woods. Countless birds flew or flapped their wings or chirped, countless leaves fell, or withered or sprouted, and snakes and ants crawled on the branches, or spit letters or fangs. Compared with the quiet streets, the current "liveliness" is just as chilling.

And the only good news is that nothing has attacked us until now.

In addition, although there are no roads here, there is no mud or swamp under the fallen leaves that have been covered for an unknown number of years, and it is quite solid to walk in the soft room.

"Senior, where are we going?" I finally couldn't help but ask, seeing the darkness ahead.

"Look for the way out. ”

I was answered by Kikig's words with a bit of Zen.

What is the way I go, and what is the way out? out of this illusion or out of this forest?

But either way, it's a good thing. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a lot more energetic, and my legs, which were a little trembling, stopped shaking in an instant, and hurriedly continued to follow Qiqige.

I didn't know how long the forest had stretched, but when I was so weak that I could barely walk with the support of the stick, Kikige finally stopped.

It's just that there are still trees in front of you, and it's hard to see the blue sky.

Then, the sound of a waterfall rang out.

Hearing the sound of water, Kikige was silent for a moment and then said, "Let's rest first." ”

One sentence made me feel like a long drought, and I was instantly relieved.

However, when I wanted to put Qing Wan down, I felt that there was nothing behind it.

I was shocked and wanted to look back to make sure, but my neck twisted halfway and stopped.

"Qingwan, are you there?" I remembered her previous advice, and I kept that strange posture and spoke.

"Well, don't you look back. Qing Wan's indifferent voice came, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately, she seemed to think of the previous advice, and continued: "Stupid you, you can turn back now, turn around, I look uncomfortable with your posture." ”

Her words made me feel like a pardon, and I hurriedly turned around.

Seeing Qingwan leaning against a tree leisurely tasting the sake brew, I was pleasantly surprised: "Are you recovering?"

She nodded and said, "It's good morning, but seeing that you are so serious about it, I just didn't say it." ”

I was speechless for a moment, and after a moment of silence, I said, "Is there any more clear brew, bring a bottle to my seniors and me." ”

After taking Qingwan's brew, I looked at Qiqige and said, "Senior, what are we going to do next?"

And so on. Kikige sipped the sake and replied succinctly.

Again, I don't know why, but this time I didn't complain about anything in my heart. After all, there is no complaining, and the most important thing to listen to her is at this time.

What's more, a little thought in my heart may have been known to them for a long time, but they just knew it but didn't intend to say it.

After drinking a bottle of sake, our wait finally came to fruition.

A light suddenly appeared in front of them, and then the whole world fell silent.

There was no sound of waterfalls, no birds, no insects.

Some were just the sound of melting after the most brilliant but not dazzling light.

Then, the road ahead suddenly opened, the grass and trees disappeared, and a cliff appeared in front of us.

Beneath the cliff is a huge, empty basin. There is only one tree, lonely growing in the middle.

The breeze swayed the branches and made a rustling sound that could be heard clearly from afar.

Seeing the tree, Qingwan exclaimed, "Jianmu?"

Hearing this somewhat familiar name, I thought for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Jianmu?"

Qing Wan nodded and said, "Except for the same name, nothing else is the same." However, this tree is not simple. ”

I wondered, "How?"

Qing Wan replied with a solemn expression: "Legend has it that cultivating under this tree will not only be faster than other places, but also, taking the fruit of this tree can comprehend the Heavenly Dao and increase the chance of ascension. Therefore, it also has a name in the demon clan, called the Enlightenment Tree. ”

"Legend, you haven't seen this tree before?" I asked.

She shook her head and said, "I originally thought that this kind of tree had always been just a legend, but I didn't expect to see it here now." However, if we are still in the illusion at the moment, then this tree may also be fake. ”

However, Qiqige, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again: "Jianmu, it is possible to appear in any environment, including the void or the illusion. ”

Qingwan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Thank you seniors for reminding me." The seniors brought us here, I'm afraid it's also for this building, right?"

Na Zhiqiqige shook his head and said, "Yes and no." ”

Qing Wan smiled: "Senior, you better say it clearly." We may be able to guess what you say, but if you don't, we're not sure. ”

Qiqige turned around, looked at Qing Wan and said, "Are you worried that I will remove this building wood?"

I was stunned when I heard Qiqige's words: If she really had an idea and acted again, would Qingwan stop it, and if she stopped, then she would really tear her face and fight, what should I do then?

Between gains and losses, Qingwan said calmly: "Yes, but my predecessor reminded me just now." Timber can appear anywhere, but only those who can truly get its approval can remove it. If the predecessors had a fate with it, I would have stopped it. So if the seniors want to make a move, just take action. The younger generation is willing to help the seniors protect the Dharma. ”

Qingwan's honest words made Qiqige nod a little approvingly, which made me think that Qiqige had acquiesced that he had thoughts about Jianmu.

However, just as I was expecting what she would do, she said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I am not going to do anything to it, on the contrary, I am going to help you remove it." ”
