Chapter 28 A tree with a name
Poor mulberry.
It is the name of an ancient country in the Southern Wilderness thousands of years ago. To this day, this ancient country has long been buried in the dust of history.
Since then, Qiusang is no longer the name of a country, but the name of a tree.
Xia Sheng opened his eyes and looked at the towering ancient tree that was so close to him, with a faint recollection on his face.
There is also a joy of reunion between old friends.
He stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the trunk of the tree, as if he had seen the retracement of thousands of years, as if he felt a powerful heartbeat and the long-lost close relatives.
"So many years have passed, you have grown up."
Xia Sheng's eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy, and the emotions in his words were sad.
Although Qiusang is wise, he cannot speak. Fortunately, even if he doesn't say anything, Xia Sheng can feel its inner grievance and loneliness.
So a hint of apologies flashed across Xia Sheng's face and he spoke again: "I'm sorry, it took so long to see you."
The breeze blew, and the green leaves were rustling under the silver moon, like a girl shaking her head gently.
Ten thousand years is a long time, but compared with the extremely long journey of withering and flourishing of the Tree of Life, it is only a short period of time, which is probably equivalent to the age of a human girl.
Of course, there is no difference between male and female in the Tree of Life, but Xia Sheng would rather regard it as a girl. Perhaps because his wife was also at this age and had an extremely precious friendship with the Tree of Life, which was like a golden orchid.
Each person and a tree, just in the best years of each other, became a friend of handkerchiefs. No matter how strange and absurd this matter seems to be in the eyes of others, at least for them, it is a kind of luck and the longest companionship.
I still remember that it was Di Jun's last battle. Before leaving, his wife handed the precious tree species of life to him, symbolizing the best wishes.
Unfortunately, she finally didn't wait for him to return home, so she passed away from the world due to serious illness.
Di Jun, who learned of this news, buried the tree species in the soil, representing his concern for his first wife and deep mourning.
Di Jun was so sad that he moved the sky and was so angry that he turned into a long sword and slashed the demon horn of the ice-armored demon dragon with one blow, causing his body and soul to severely damage it, and today's Yangjiao Lake.
Ten thousand years have passed, and today's summer is born by chance. When you visit the old place again, when you see the poor mulberry again, things have changed.
It seemed that I felt the sadness in Xia Sheng's heart. Qiusang gently drooped a branch and wrapped around Xia Sheng's shoulders, like a hug of a long time reunion.
Xia Sheng shook his head and smiled and said, "Ten thousand years have passed. I have already let go of what I should have let go. You don't have to be sad for me. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the most common things in the world. Only me, a person cursed by fate, cannot fall into reincarnation. But because of this, I can meet you again today. This is something worth being happy."
Hearing this, Qiongsang gradually raised the branches on his body, expressing his direction to the sky, as if he had outlined a faint smile in the night sky.
Xia Sheng felt the extremely vigorous vitality coming from the tree trunk, and couldn't help but speak in surprise: "Regardingly speaking, ten thousand years is enough for you to grow into a noble spiritual wood. Why is it still unable to break through the bottleneck of the king until now?"
Upon hearing this, the thousands of branches and leaves on Qiongsang's body suddenly stood up like a cat with hair blown, making people feel endless anger and deep helplessness.
After a while, Xia Sheng's eyebrows frowned and said in a deep voice: "You mean, in this forest, there is a strange lizard egg, which has been stealing nutrients from the ground?"
Now, Xia Sheng was a little curious. What kind of lizard egg is it that can compete with the dignified Tree of Life for thousands of years?
I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person...
Thinking of this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but feel a little moved and said, "Since that's the case, take me to see."
Kuangsang suddenly became excited. After being bullied by that stinky egg for thousands of years, someone finally helped him vent his anger. See if that guy dares to come and compete with him for resources, hum!
The next moment, three poor mulberry leaves floated down from the treetops, like dancing green plates, spinning in front of Xia Sheng's eyes, very light.
Xia Sheng had a smile in his eyes, and followed these three green leaves and walked towards the depths of the Forgetful Forest.
However, just after taking a step forward, Xia Sheng stopped again, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and turned around and said to Qiongsang: "By the way, my friend came in with me just now. Don't make things difficult for them, especially there is a real sword emperor inside. If he annoyed him, it may not be a good end."
After saying that, Xia Sheng took another step and soon disappeared into the long moonlight.
At the same time, the illusion array in front of Ye Xiao'e, Shui'er and Hang Dali was immediately shattered, and Ye Xiao'e's face was filled with confusion, and she had no idea what had happened just now.
Han Dali rushed to Shui'er with one step. The long sword in his hand flashed with a heart-pounding cold light, and his eyes flashed with an extremely vigilant.
"Miss, is there anything wrong?"
Shui'er shook her head and said in a suspicion: "That was just now..."
Hang Dali frowned and said, "I don't know, some of them are like the magic tricks of the South China Sea, but they are different. No matter what, we need to be careful next."
Ye Xiao'e nodded in a vague way, and suddenly exclaimed: "Where is Brother Asheng?"
Shui'er's face also tightened, but she was much calmer than Ye Xiao'e, and she kept saying, "Don't panic! That stinky hooligan is much more experienced than us. Maybe she noticed something was wrong from the beginning, so she cracked the illusion in advance and went forward."
As he said that, Shui'er turned to Han Dali and said, "Dali, you are clearing the way forward. If you find something wrong, don't make any moves rashly. Be sure to take every step steadily!"
Han Dali nodded: "Yes!"
After saying this, a blue sword light that was even brighter than the stars and moon suddenly rose on Han Dali's body, illuminating the dark night forest unscrupulously, and also made Shui'er and Ye Xiao'e feel an incomparable sense of security.
In the following time, the three of them were extremely slow. It took about an hour to reach the center of Forgetful Forest.
With Xia Sheng’s pre-examination, Qiongsang no longer tried to stop everyone from moving forward, and everything went smoothly.
But before Hang Dali could see the towering tree in the middle of the forest, a fierce fighting sound suddenly came from the southeast of the forest.
A bright white horn rose into the sky, and there was a faint apricot yellow glow outside, like a fireworks in the prosperous era, illuminating the southeast corner of the Forest as bright as daylight!
Hang Dali subconsciously held the long sword in his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's Your Highness Ning!"
Shui'er's eyes also flashed with a look of surprise and doubt, but she bit her lip tightly, maintaining absolute silence without saying a word.
Seeing this, Hang Dali couldn't help but feel a little anxious and said again: "Miss!"
After a moment, seeing the light on the horn of the jade in the sky getting dimming, as if it would be destroyed at any time, Shui'er finally made up her mind and said, "Let's go and see!"
