Inheriting a building, I became the richest man

After falling asleep, Xiao Meng had a dream. In the dream, he entered a dark forest filled with black fog, like an invisible fire spreading somewhere.

He walked in the fog for a while in a daze, and suddenly a towering tree appeared in front of him. The bare trunk and branches were black, standing absolutely silent in the forest.

Xiao Meng's consciousness suddenly woke up in the dream, and soon realized that this place should be the enchantment of the undead tree.

The surrounding scenes were so real that he couldn't be sure whether he really entered the enchantment of the undead tree or it was just a realistic dream.

"Undead tree?" Xiao Meng tried to call out, "Is that you?"

The Undying Tree didn't respond, but an old voice came from behind.

Xiao Meng looked back, and Qilin came out from the black mist of the forest, and said to him: "This is the dream of the undead tree. If you can't wake up the undead tree, when the ghosts walk at night, the world will fall under Meng He's plan." For hell. Meng He is the descendant of the Meng family whom I have been loyal to. He has adhered to the ancestral precepts of the Meng family and kept righteousness and warded off evil spirits for China for decades. It is a pity that after his wife died in the night walk of ghosts, he became insane during the day and turned into a demon after death. As a Shura ghost, I was cast into the Infernal Hell by my own hands more than 1000 years ago."

"What does he want to do?" Xiao Meng asked with a frown.

"Meng He wants to use the fruit of the immortal tree to revive his wife and establish a kingdom of immortality."

"It's the same as what the Undead Tree wants to do." Xiao Meng said, "The Undying Tree also wants to rebuild the Undying Kingdom. If so, they can cooperate completely. Why did the Undying Tree seem to be at odds with him that day?"

Qilin: "Because the Immortal Kingdom they want to create is completely different. The Immortal Kingdom that Undying Tree wants to create is a world of bliss without death and suffering, while the Immortal Kingdom that Meng He wants to create is to make all the evil from hell It is an immortal hell where ghosts occupy the body of living people and eat the fruit of the undead tree to obtain eternal life."

"What good does it do him if the world becomes hell?" Xiao Meng was puzzled.

Qilin sighed, "Because Meng He has resentment in his heart."

"Resentment?" Xiao Meng felt that he had become a hundred thousand reasons.

Qilin said: "It's a long story. All things have spirits. Even if it is killing demons and ghosts, as long as it is killing, it is a crime. The evil karma accumulated by the killing of evil spirits for thousands of years in the Meng family guards the righteousness and wards off evil spirits every few hundred years. It was undertaken by a descendant of the Meng family. The last time the descendant of the Meng family had to bear the evil karma was Meng He. During the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts that year, all the evil spirits who escaped from hell were wiped out by the descendants of the Meng family. A demon from hell, Meng He's wife was killed by a demon, so he became possessed by hatred and directed all his grievances towards the world he had guarded."

Xiao Meng frowned and fell silent.

He could understand a little bit. He had spent his whole life upholding justice and selflessly dedicated to protecting the world, but in the end he became a sinner inexplicably and would be punished by God. It was normal for Meng He to have resentment in his heart.

"After escaping from hell hundreds of years ago, Meng He went around capturing Shura ghosts wandering in the human world, and locked them in the enchantment, in order to fuel the flames when the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts happened again one day, and realize his plan of revenge on the human world. Once his Immortal Kingdom is established, the human world will become no different from hell. Ghosts are not like ghosts, and people are not like people. The immortal tree was hypnotized by the magic tool "Wumeng" he stole from nowhere. The undead tree must be awakened and its barrier removed to prevent this catastrophe. With the protection of the ancient barrier of the undead tree, even the gods and Buddhas of the gods will not be able to hurt Meng He in the slightest."

"I see." Xiao Meng said, "What should I do? You must have asked me for my help, right?"

Qilin: "This is the dream of the undead tree. In order to protect me from being controlled by Meng He's sorcery, Biqi sent me here with his dream magic. I have been waiting for you here for a long time, and he is the one who summoned you." Come in."

"How can I wake up the undead tree?"

Qilin: "He fell into a nightmare, find the root of the nightmare, break the nightmare, and wake him up."

A drop of cool liquid hit Xiao Meng's face, he raised his head, it was raining in his dream.

Xiao dreamed of something, tentatively stretched out his hand to catch a drop of rainwater, and said in a low voice, "The flowing water spreads through the Xiaopu, and the sad wind passes through the Dongting. At the end of the song, no one is seen, and the wind is counted on the river."

Clear white light poured out from between his fingers, dispelling the black mist, and illuminating the entire dream world.

……

"I'm sorry, I've come to talk to you again."

The girl with long hair tied up with a red cloth gently stroked the trunk of the crooked neck tree, "It's nice to be a tree. It can live for a long time, and it won't get sick easily. Every day is carefree." The girl sighed. , "It would be great if people could live forever."

The branches of the crooked neck tree swayed slightly with the breeze twice.

The girl pursed her pink lips unhappily, her innocent face was full of worries that did not match her age.

"The third brother also died today. I am very scared. Maybe one day I will be like them. They say that our children are all short-lived ghosts."

A black leaf fell from the Crooked Neck Tree, gently covering the girl's shoulders.

The girl took down the leaf that looked strange in shape and color, and raised the corners of her mouth bitterly, "We are the same, they say that there should be no black trees in the world, let me stay away from you, just like those grown-ups Keep their children away from me, as if they would be as short-lived as my brothers if they got too close to me."

"Hmph, I don't mind playing with those little monkeys, so I might as well come and talk to you." The girl curled her lips pretending to be disdainful, but her clear eyes were full of loneliness, "You are my best friend." You will always be with me, right? I hope they can bury me next to you after I die, so that we will not be lonely..."

"Ling'er!" A woman's call came from not far away, and the girl raised her head regretfully and said goodbye to Crooked Neck Tree: "I will come again tomorrow, but fortunately you are a tree, and you will always be here waiting for me, goodbye Yes, my poor friend."

After finishing speaking, the girl turned around and ran away. The red headband fluttered in the wind with her long black hair, and her figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the woods.

The undead tree shook its black leaves in the wind. The girl turned her head when she heard the sound, smiled brightly, and waved, "I will definitely come tomorrow! Wait for me!"

One day passed, two days passed... The girl did not come to the appointment for a long time, and the undead tree waited quietly in the breeze and drizzle. When she was lonely, a few ugly leaves would fall and let them drift away with the wind.

The tree's life is long and peaceful. Before the girl appeared, the undead tree had never experienced the feeling of waiting. Hundreds of years ago, its tree species came to the world from the destroyed undead country across the ocean, and took root in this land. The world is changing rapidly, but its world seems to be frozen in time. Until this girl appears, the sunrise and sunset have no meaning.

Two months later, the girl finally came to the appointment, but she was so emaciated that Undying Tree could hardly recognize her.

The girl's eyes were sickly and black, and she said to him weakly, "I'm sorry, I didn't come on purpose. I'm going to die. It's the same disease as my younger brothers. What the people in the village said is true. We The children of the family are indeed short-lived ghosts."

The undead tree shook its branches slightly, the leaves made a lonely rustling sound, and a few black fallen leaves fell lonely with the wind.

The girl smiled and caught a leaf: "Are you comforting me?"

The Undying Tree felt very sad. After the death of the Immortal Kingdom, it never bore fruit again. It wanted to give the girl its fruit, but after it came to the world, it seemed to have lost the ability to bear fruit. It could not even change its human form. .

The girl took off the red cloth strips from her head and tied them to the branches of the undead tree.

"I have asked them. After I die, they will bury me under your tree. The next time we meet, we can be together forever."

The girl's long hair was scattered on her thin shoulders, and she rubbed the trunk of the undead tree with her palm nostalgicly, "I hope that I will not be a human again in my next life. I want to become a tree and grow by your side. We can be together every day." Basking in the sun, blowing in the wind, drenching in the rain... No, if I can, I don’t want to die, why do people die? If I can live forever, I can see the world for you, and tell you the scenery you can’t see For you, I can be your legs, your eyes... I'm sorry, every time I come to tell you about my troubles, maybe you don't want to see me at all."

The Undead Tree was very anxious, and shook the branches vigorously twice, no, it wasn't.

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, Kawen is too good, I wanted to ask for leave countless times, and I wrote this after holding back tears for a day, my baby tried my best QAQ

The next chapter of Brother Meng's Golden Finger should be able to write... the first volume is coming to an end.

This book is not long, and it will be finished within 30 words. I originally wanted to write it longer, but I found that I am a rookie, I am not capable enough to write too hard, and it is easy to collapse if it is too long.

This should be my last story stream_(:_」∠)_
