Dongchang needs talents like you

When Yuan Jun broke the formation with strength and took Chi Ning away, there was a huge fluctuation of spiritual power.This spiritual power that doesn't know where it came from is so strong that Chi Ning can see the ripples of spiritual energy in the air with a mortal body.Like the one shown on the sea after the stormy waves, it spreads outward layer by layer, showing mysterious power.

With a flash of white light, Chi Ning lost consciousness.

When Chi Ning regained consciousness, he clearly realized that he had become a tree.His perspective has changed from the perspective of ordinary people who can only see things in front of them to a 360-degree full perspective with no dead ends.He knew that he was on top of a cliff, it was an extremely steep mountain, like a sharp sword that fell from the sky and pierced obliquely into the soil.And this mountain is just one of the [-] mountains that stretch for hundreds of miles.

The strong wind in the mountains is full of aura, and there is still a white mist-like auspicious air spreading in the high places. The mountains are looming behind the dense fog, which is even more mysterious and different.

Chi Ning couldn't tell where this place was, he could just feel slightly that intelligent life would be born here sooner or later.

And beside Chi Ning, there is another tall tree that seems to be able to connect the sky and the earth, with green leaves, purple stems, mysterious flowers and yellow fruits. He stands intertwined in the most dangerous place, growing wildly and freely.

From the perspective of the tree, this is really a very beautiful and vibrant tree.

It is very similar to the tree in Yuan Jun's dream where Chi Ning turned into a tree.

The only difference is that in the dream, Yuan Jun will talk to Chi Ning, take care of Chi Ning's various feelings and needs, and give Chi Ning the most sunshine, rain and nutrients.But now, here, in this world that Chi Ning subconsciously thinks is memory, he has to learn to compete strongly with the big guy next to him who is not easy to mess with at first glance.

Chi Ning already has self-awareness, but the one next to him still seems to be living according to instinct.His reaction was a bit slow, but the root system buried deep in the ground was as fast as the wind in absorbing water, and he didn't understand politeness at all.

In these [-] mountains, the instinctive competition among creatures is always extraordinarily naked.

Chi Ning...

The most feared thing is competition.

No matter what he does, he will always work hard to make himself the best.When he was a eunuch, he aimed for the palm seal of the chief of ceremonies, but now he has become a tree, so naturally he is working hard for the number one tree in the world!

Sooner or later, he will grow taller than the tree next to him, stronger than him, stronger than him... In short, he will become the most powerful one.

Many years later, Chi Ning realized that in terms of breed, he was destined not to grow up to his big brother next door.He is Ruomu, and the one next door to him is Jianmu.

As far as Chi Ning knows, Ruomu only has a brief introduction of six characters in "Shan Hai Jing": "Between black water and green water."

In other words, he is a tree that grows between the black water and the green water, and the world's research on him ends here.Maybe there are other things, but Chi Ning doesn't know.

Jianmu is not the case. Works such as "Shan Hai Jing", "Lu Shi Chunqiu" and "Huainanzi" have detailed records of Jian Mu. Only Chi Ning has seen and remembered many passages: In the legend, Jian Mu Wood is a bridge connecting heaven, earth, humans and gods, and it is a sacred tree worshiped by the ancestors of Cuba and Shu. There is a saying that "under the tree, there will be no shadow in the day and no sound, and there will be no sound, and it will cover the sky and the earth."

But now, this sacred tree is Chi Ning's neighbor.

Living as a neighbor with famous people, cough, famous trees, is kind of fucked up.

The only thing Chi Ning can comfort himself is that his neighbor seems to be a little bald, and the record in the book is "a hundred feet high without branches", but according to Chi Ning's observation, Jianmu is not completely without branches, but only a fixed number of nine Branches, even if there are leaves like awns on them, will give people a feeling of bareness.

Chi Ning admired his luxuriant branches narcissistically, but he was different, his hair was thick at first glance!

I don’t know the years in the dream, there is no day and night in the mountains, and Chi Ning doesn’t know how many years have passed like this. He only knows that the branches of the two trees between him and the big brother next door have been tightly entangled in his endless expansion. Together, you can't tell me apart, it's almost like he gave the next door a whole look.But he has never been able to grow taller, stronger and full of vitality than Jianmu next to him.This made Chi Ning a little unhappy.

Then, on an ordinary afternoon, the big brother beside Chi Ning finally gave birth to his own consciousness.

Don't ask Chi Ning why he knows, he just feels it anyway.

This big brother who has just given birth to consciousness is like a babbling and faltering child, eagerly absorbing all the knowledge this world can bring him, and he grows faster than Chi Ning.

Chi Ning was going crazy.

【Hi! ] Chi Ning said to his big brother next door, 【You have to know how to come first and come first, respect your seniors. 】

【senior? 】Brother Jianmu’s emotions, along with his voice, are so positive and full of curiosity about the world.The main thing is to be curious about the seniors around me: [Are you my brother? 】

[I am your father! ] Chi Ning took the opportunity to take advantage of the tree.

[No, you are not. 】Brother Jianmu is not as easy to deceive as Chi Ning imagined. He quickly learned the basics and grew up at an astonishing speed. He easily straightened out that there is no blood relationship between him and Chi Ning.【 You are not my brother either. 】

【Then who do you think I could be? ] Chi Ning deliberately made it difficult.

[I, I don't know. 】The big brother is stuck, he is obviously a tree with no expression, but Chi Ning just feels that he "saw" the other party's bewilderment and helplessness at that moment, it seems that the knowledge he absorbed is still flawed, he thought about it After a while, he tried to say, 【We, we are one, right? 】

Brother Jianmu moved their tangled branches.

Chi Ning really wanted to separate from the other party, but because of the evil he had caused by his own competitive heart, he could not separate at all, which made Chi Ning even more unhappy.Ever since he turned into a tree, or since he saw this memory, his ability to control his temper has become worse and worse, and he will only act on instinct in many cases, becoming extraordinarily animalistic.

Or, plant-based?

[Since we are one, can you give me some sunshine?You are blocking me, you see, my left side is a head shorter than the right side because I don't get the sun. 】Chi Ning's words are completely nonsense, but in order to get more sunshine, he will instinctively invade the territory next door.

【Oh well. 】Brother Jianmu agreed very neatly.

Chi Ning waved his twig in satisfaction. He waited patiently for a long time, but he didn't see the other party move at all.Heh, Chi Ning thought in his heart, it turned out to be a green tea tree.

[Why don't you let go? ] Chi Ning was even more impolite.

【I, I don't know how to get out of the way. 】

【…】They are two trees, they can't go anywhere, at most they can only move their branches in the wind, as if they want to stand here forever.

God is still humane, lest they be lonely, he gave them each other.

After Chi Ning tested it several times and found that Jianmu next door was really slow and like a big fool instead of pretending to be a white lotus, he finally stopped being hostile to brother Jianmu.He changed his way of thinking and asked Jianmu to try to adjust his posture little by little, so as to give himself more sunshine, more rain and dew, and more aura.

Very good, when Chi Ning let Jian Mu adjust to a satisfactory angle, he realized that it was exactly the same as what Yuan Jun did for him in his dream.

[Mr. Yuan? 】 Chi Ning tentatively opened his mouth.

【What? 】Yuan Jun next door also followed Chi Ning to learn to wave a branch to express his mood. What he is expressing now is, uh, look, I look like a happy fool (this is Chi Ning’s imagination), [What does this mean? ?is it my nameWow, you are amazing, you can even name yourself, did you name yourself? 】

A nagging fool.

[Chi Ning, my name is Chi Ning. ] Chi Ning said that, in the dark, he seemed to have understood something.

I don't know how many years have passed, but the two towering trees have been together for such a long time. They have become inseparable from appearance to body and mind, and have developed a strong relationship.

But Chi Ning felt the world, or in his memory he felt the world, and told Yuan Jun that he was leaving.

【where are you going? 】Yuan Jun asked Chi Ning.

[I don't know, maybe it's turning into a human. 】What Chi Ning said now is basically out of his control, because it is what must be said in memory.

[Is it better to be a human than to be a tree? 】

[Then who knows?I just want to feel it, I'm tired of being a tree. 】

[I want to go with you. 】

[No, you can't leave yet. 】

[Then will you come back? 】

【Maybe. 】

[Then I'll go find you!You must wait for me, as long as I can leave, I will go to you as soon as possible, I will definitely be able to find you, we are one, we will definitely be together forever! 】

【it is good. 】

When Chi Ning was about to leave the world of memories, he finally found his mouth, and he worriedly confessed to Yuan Jun: 【Don't trust everyone so much, you know?Many people are very bad, don't see a person and think that person is me.I'm running out of time. In short, being a good person doesn't end well, and neither does being a good tree.You have to learn from me, be a bad guy, be a villain!To be scary! 】

[Okay. 】Yuan Jun will never ask why, he will only do what Chi Ning said.

***

Many, many years later.

Yuan Jun, who pulled out his own rhizome himself, became very weak, he could not speak, and the branches could not move. This is not the best time for him to leave here, but he must go.

Because he felt that thousands of miles away, Chi Ning was in pain, pain, and he was about to die.

He must save him!

One year, on the eunuch's way to Beijing from the south of the town, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow and the road was difficult. The young Chi Ning was on the verge of death, and a towering tree like an illusion appeared in front of his eyes.

He tried his best to stretch out his immature hand to the big tree, and he really got a piece of black and shiny sacred tree.

Shenmu can't speak, and without the memory of the past, he can only get hot and guide Chi Ning.As he promised back then, he will definitely find him, and they will be together forever, never to be separated again.

I finally found you.
