Shopkeeper and God

He raised his voice and asked, "Is it really so scary?" When Lu Xing asked, Tuan Ling trembled all over, his eyes wrinkled, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Lu Xing didn't tease him, shook his head with a smile, and said, "You should know where the four-flavored wood grows." Tuan Ling was stunned, not quite understanding what he meant, but nodded seriously for a moment, and asked He said, "Does your lord want to take a look?" Lu Xing let out an "ah", stretched his waist, and said, "Take me to take a look secretly. I'm also curious about the appearance of the fairy tree." But it was relaxed and casual, which made Tuan Ling's heart beat, and finally couldn't help asking: "Don't you think this place is weird?"

The fog, the empty courtyard, the waiter who came out of nowhere, the abnormal attitude, the eavesdropper in the corner, and... the resurrected person and the disappearing Rakshasa.Tuan Ling felt that she was trapped in a huge vortex of fear, but the person in front of her didn't seem to want to save herself.

Lu Xing smiled, looked at Tuan Ling's terrified look, and said, "Strange? How is this place not weird? Even the candlelight is weird. It's because it's so weird, so I went there Look at the truth."

"Real?" Tuan Ling couldn't understand.

"It's Siweimu." Lu Xing said, "To be honest, everything here may be fake. The courtyard, people, flowers and plants, every brick and tile, may be fake, but only Siweimu and Xianmu are fake. The truth that cannot be falsified." After he finished speaking, he looked at Tuan Ling again, and asked again: "Take me to see Siweimu." The voice was soft and earnest.

Baochen had never heard Lu Xing speak in such a tone.Proud Qixie shopkeeper, when did you lower your figure?However, Tuan Ling didn't know that this was unusual. He looked at Lu Xing suspiciously, as if he was also engaged in a battle between man and god in his heart. Finally, after a while, he gritted his teeth and answered "Yes", and his body also Stop shaking and stand up straight.Lu Xing handed him the lantern in his hand, and gestured for him to lead the way.Tuan Ling hesitated for a while, finally gritted his teeth and said: "You can't tell others" and walked to the front.

With Tuan Ling leading the way, it is no longer a purposeless wandering. It is obvious that in the eyes of outsiders, it looks like a labyrinth, but Tuan Ling walks out within a few steps.When he came to a gate, he stopped walking, pursed his lips and stared straight, and stood for a while before walking over and whispering: "Behind this gate is a cliff, and Siweimu grows on the cliff. , Usually this place is guarded by our strongest people, and even we are not allowed to approach it at will." His voice became weaker at the end of his words, but his courage did not diminish.He walked to the door, took a deep breath, and exerted force on his palm, only to hear a "crack" sound, and the heavy door was slowly pushed open.

Under the dual effect of the night and the mist, Yue Mo could only see an open space under his feet, which looked like an open space in front of the courtyard gate, and he couldn't see clearly any further.Holding the lantern, Tuan Ling walked forward dozens of steps and stood still. From the light, he could see the appearance of a cliff in front of his feet. He raised the lantern to the top, pointed at the vague void and said: " right there".

On the cliff, there is a huge tree with a crown like a canopy.It grows obliquely towards the sky, green and luxuriant.It is coiled like a dragon, and its trunk looks like a tree, and it takes seven or eight people to hug it.The piece of rock it grew on was loose, and the several roots as thick as a bowl rolled like dragons and plunged towards the bottom of the cliff.The vigorous and straight posture of Siweimu, even if it is covered by fog, still gives people a bright feeling, and makes people unable to look away.

Lu Xing stood on the edge of the cliff, and it took him a long time to find his breath and let out a sigh.However, before he could finish his sigh, he felt a flash of light behind him, and in the blink of an eye, he saw two big long-tailed birds covered in golden light flying straight up, flapping their wings and circling around Siweimu.Lu Xing had seen the birds of light before, but he didn't understand why Baochen suddenly lured them out. He was about to turn around and ask, but he felt a gust of wind blowing over the ground, and Baochen had already vacated and flew in the direction of Siweimu.

"This... this?!!! Mister!" Seeing that Baochen was about to fall into the tree, Tuan Ling was nervous and at a loss.The Siwei Mu is a sacred tree and a fairy tree. For hundreds of years, no one has come close to it, let alone climbed a tree!This is something even their "Shoumu" dare not do!But now Baochen Xie's two birds of light not only fell from the tree, but they even shuttled among the leaves, which made Tuan Ling tremble with fear.

However, Lu Xing laughed out loud, raised his hand and patted Tuan Ling's shoulder, and said "Don't worry".

"Baochen must have his reasons for doing this, but he will not destroy Siweimu."

With Lu Xing's words, Tuan Ling's restless heart calmed down a little bit, but only a little bit, he still looked at Baochen walking on the branch without breath.Those two Birds of Light landed obediently in a piece of emerald green, and the golden light around them seemed to dye the whole tree with golden streamer.

Baochen, who was walking on the branch, finally seemed to have found what he was looking for, his eyes lit up, and he raised his hand as if he was about to pick something.Tuan Ling was so frightened that she yelled "No, no, no!" Baochen didn't know if she heard it, but her hand only hesitated for a moment, and then she picked something from the tree without hesitation, shaking the branch. There was a loud "crash" sound.Seeing that he had really picked it off, Tuan Ling immediately covered her heart with a tangled expression, as if she was about to die in the next second.

Baochen jumped down from the tree.When he jumped down, the two birds of light also flew down, dissipating while flying, and when Baochen landed on the ground, the birds of light also disappeared without a trace.Surrounded by deep black and mist again, only the lamp in Tuan Ling's hand glowed coldly.

Tuan Ling clutched her heart, life would be better than death, Lu Xing moved closer, and Bao Chen showed them the things he picked in his hands.It was a calyx, the size of a palm, and to be precise, only the calyx.

Calyx only.

The silence on all sides is like the mountains of death, and the air sucked into the lungs is like the tip of a cold needle.Tuan Ling's pupils were trembling, he stood there stiff and cold, like a dead person.

It was as stiff and cold as if a century had passed before Lu Xing's voice trembled and asked, "Where are the flowers?"

Baochen shook his head, but no one answered.

"... Those Rakshasas, those Rakshasas, they, they picked the flowers away?!! It must be like this! It must be!" Tuan Ling was determined, with angry hatred in his words.He turned around and ran into the courtyard, but was grabbed by Lu Xing.The teenager who had lost his mind struggled and shouted "let go", Lu Xing could only try his best to say in a calm voice: "Calm down first!" There are too many things wrong with this matter, even the only real Siweimu Oddities appear, so where is the "truth"?

However, Tuan Ling didn't listen, and shouted, "What else is there to calm down! They killed people! They robbed the flowers!" Shouting, tears rolled down my face.When he cried like this, his body lost even more strength. He couldn't break free from Lu Xing, so he could only slowly squat on the ground and cry, which broke his heart.

Lu Xing looked at him sadly, then at Baochen.Baochen was still looking at the calyx in his hand, as if even he couldn't figure out why it happened.It was only after Lu Xing called him twice that he realized that he looked at Lu Xing with doubts in his eyes.Lu Xing didn't say a word, and motioned him to put the calyx away so that no one else could see it, so he planned to comfort Tuan Ling, and then went back to the guest room to discuss with Xi Ying and Pei Bo before making any plans.

However, before he could utter words of consolation, there was a terrified scream from the courtyard, like an arrow, piercing through the dense fog and silence of the night.

"...Sister?" Tuan Ling could hear the voice.He looked up in the direction of the courtyard, as if thinking of something, he planned to stand up and go back.Lu Xing didn't dare to let go of his hand, and called him several times but there was no response, so Lu Xing had no choice but to call Baochen to follow.Baochen put away the calyx and followed, and the three of them went back to the courtyard.

The servants have already gathered in the yard, Xi Bai's condition is still not quite right, her eyes are a little lax, her breathing is short of breath, she is exhausted, her thinking is also chaotic, and her speech is incoherent, no matter what Xiying asks her, she can't get an effective answer .In the end, Xi Ying was quite helpless and could only ask someone to take Xi Bai down to rest first.
