i am a tree

The trees covered the sky and the sun, and from time to time small animals jumped out of the corners, and scurried into the grass.

Yu Ziliang grimaced, looking at the ghostly-looking man beside him with trepidation.After he fainted from fright, it was this man who rescued him. You know, lying on the ground in a coma in this forest full of wild beasts, whether he can survive depends on luck.

This man's voice is very pleasant, soothing and soft. Yu Ziliang has no culture, so he feels comfortable listening to him like drinking a large bowl of herbal tea after finishing his work in summer. Even his face doesn't seem so scary up.

This man claimed to be a tourist seeking immortality everywhere, and he came to this place to see if he could worship under the Sansheng sect.

When Yu Ziliang heard this, he grinned. He fell into his thatched hut. Although he was only a disciple of the outer sect of the Sanshengmen, he had never seen any real practitioners in the Sanshengmen. I also know the basics, and I have heard those gossips from time to time. Usually, he is very strict and never makes irresponsible remarks with strangers. But for some reason, when he saw this man, he forgot these taboos, and made himself Say everything you know.

The man also listened carefully, sometimes nodding his head, sometimes asking some questions, he became happier as he spoke, foaming and dancing, and when he finished speaking, it was almost dark, Yu Ziliang yelled, "It's so late, I have to go back, this——" He originally wanted to call "brother", but he swallowed the words again, "Young master, do you have a place to go?"

The man shook his head lightly, "I'm just looking for a nearby town to settle down."

Yu Ziliang was embarrassed for a moment, and thought of his fierce wife, but he was cruel, "It's dark today, and the nearby towns are still far away, why don't you go with my house?"

The man froze for a moment, "This——is bothering you."

Yu Ziliang said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing, didn't you just save me? You should, you should, but what do you call the young master?"

"My surname is Mu, and my name is Yi." The man said softly.

The two returned to the small village on the edge of the forest in the evening sun.

There are only a dozen families in this village. At this time, every family is cooking with fire, and the green smoke is curling up. The bluestone road leads to these houses.

Mu Yi followed Yu Ziliang into one of the small courtyards surrounded by wooden fences, and saw Yu Ziliang shouting loudly, "Mother, mother-in-law, I'm back."

A middle-aged woman came out wiping her apron, and said angrily, "You still know how to come back, don't look at how late it is."

Yu Ziliang smirked twice, "Mother, this is for today." He handed over a bunch of herbs and two hares, and the woman saw that although she came back late today, the harvest was twice as much as usual , and his complexion improved a lot.

This Yu Ziliang pointed to Mu Yi who was behind him, "This son is my cousin from afar, he came here to join me, mother-in-law, cook some delicious dishes."

Is the woman upset, cousin?Why had she never heard of Yu Ziliang, who had no father or mother and was raised by Sanshengmen, had relatives?

When she saw Mu Yi standing there, she was startled by his face at first, and took a step back. When she looked carefully, she felt that although his face was ugly, it was not as scary as she imagined. A face, even a beautiful face that she had never seen before, even those cultivators who were higher than the top of the mountain could not compare.

She muttered a few times, and looked at Mu Yi saluted her, but felt embarrassed, wiping her apron with her hands, "Sit in the room, sit in the room, the meal will be ready, Yu Ziliang, why don't you treat this girl?" Come in brother, you piece of wood."

Yu Ziliang nodded obediently and let Mu Yi into the room.

The furnishings in this room are also very simple, a square wooden table, a few rough wooden chairs, an altar, and these sundries are placed in the corners, which are neatly tidied up.

After eating, Yu Ziliang was probably bullied by his wife on weekdays, and he didn't even have a place to talk, so he dragged Mu Yi to gossip for a while, and Mu Yi was also patient, listening carefully all the time, It wasn't until his mother-in-law chased him away impatiently that he left unsatisfied.

In the side room, a big tree named Mu Yi stood in the middle of the room, and with a wave of his hand, the door squeaked and closed by itself.

The room was lit like beans.

Mu Yi set up a barrier in the room, only to see his figure slowly melt away, a shrunken big tree appeared in the room, the tree grew wildly, stuck into the soil, Going deeper into the soil bit by bit, among the lush branches and leaves, the shrunken Mu Yi sat on the trunk, with the wooden doll in his palm, and the endlessly growing roots gave birth to many fine roots Whiskers, absorbing the aura from the ground.

The aura gathered little by little, and the entire room emitted a dazzling white light.

Daily practice, never slack, it took ten years to finally condense the entity, however, it was completed hastily by relying on the power of the astrolabe, this entity is not very stable, I am afraid it will take It will take a year or two to fully transform into success.

Mu Yi carefully looked at the wooden doll in his hand, gently stroking each leaf with his fingers.

He nourished it with spiritual energy every day, and occasionally watered the remaining wood with the rare essence of water, but it was still useless, only the remaining vitality on the wood did not dissipate.

Xiaoshu may have lost his mind and soul long ago, but because of his obsession, he was unwilling to give up no matter what.

Ever since he left the forest, he has been hiding his name and concealing his face, looking for news in those low-level spiritual cultivations. Finally, a month ago, he learned from a spiritual cultivation that the "Three Sacred Doors" "Ganoderma lucidum jade liquid" has infinite magical effects, as long as there is still a ray of life left, it can bring back to life all things, even if both feet have stepped into the underworld, leaving only a piece of clothing outside the door, it can also pull people back.

After Mu Yi heard it, his heart moved slightly. Although he didn't know if there was such a miraculous effect, as long as he had a little hope, he would not give up.

So I stopped and stopped all the way, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.

In order to learn to be like a human being, for a month, he got along with those ordinary people day and night, and finally knew some things about them, and he was able to cope with it.

Now, I just want to find an opportunity to enter the Three Sacred Gates, find an opportunity to find the "Ganoderma Lucidum Jade Liquid", so that the wooden doll can germinate and take root again, and regenerate spiritual consciousness.

*********************************

On the second day, the birds were chirping, and even the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees. When the wooden door was opened, a thin white mist poured in.

People in the mountains got up early, and Yu Ziliang was weeding in this small courtyard after tidying up early in the morning. When he saw Mu Yi, he raised his hoe and said loudly, "Mu Gong—brother, wait until you have breakfast." I'll take you up the mountain."

Mu Yi nodded, looking at the small vegetable garden where some cucumbers, gourds and other fruits and vegetables were planted, but one of the vegetable fields was sick, and even the vines wrapped around the wooden poles were withered.

Mu Yi stretched out his hand lightly, and touched the hanging gourd, a trace of spiritual energy was slowly lost, the weak vine seemed to have been given a shot in the arm, and in a blink of an eye, some new green bloomed.

Mu Yi looked at the new leaves that were still slightly yellow, it would be great if this small tree could do the same.

The Three Sacred Gates are in the depths of this vast jungle, and it would be really difficult to find its traces unless someone leads the way. Mu Yi also got some news about the Three Sacred Gates intermittently.

Sanshengmen was founded by three friends about a thousand years ago. It is said that these three friends belong to human cultivation, spiritual cultivation and demon cultivation, but for some reason, they became close friends and determined to create a unique school. Different sects break barriers and are inclusive. No matter if they are human or demon, as long as they have the qualifications, they can join in as disciples.

It can only be said that the wishes of the predecessors were good. When the three patriarchs die, future generations will neither have their insight, nor their close relationship, nor their means and strength, so the three saints will not be exempt. Thousands of years later, the faction of human cultivators is thriving, while demon cultivators and spiritual cultivators have become vassals, and they have long since betrayed the last wish of the patriarch who founded this sect.

But even so, the two sects of Spiritual Cultivator and Demon Cultivator still exist, and future generations will not dare to blatantly change their sects. Such an embarrassing situation has been maintained like this, and Mu Yi thought of this , I think I can use this to go to Sanshengmen to see if I can get "Ganoderma lucidum jade liquid".

Yu Ziliang was carrying a wooden basket, in which were some medicinal materials and other sundries that Sanshengmen wanted, Mu Yi walked beside him, and the two of them went into the deep mountain and old forest when they were ready.

I don't know how long I walked, I walked and rested, and it was almost dark before I arrived at the destination. This is at the foot of a high mountain. Yu Ziliang touched the thousand-year-old giant tree beside the road, only to see When the white light flashed, a spacious stone road appeared in front of me out of thin air. Not far away, you can vaguely see houses lined up and people coming and going on the streets. There is actually a small town that is unknown to outsiders here!

There are many shops on both sides of the street, pedestrians come and go, Yu Ziliang doesn't talk to anyone, he directly enters an inconspicuous small shop on the side of the road, and he and the old shopkeeper standing behind the counter of the shop say loudly, "Second Uncle, I'm here."

The old shopkeeper slightly raised his head and looked at him, "This time the task is completed?"

While wiping the sweat from his brow, Yu Ziliang put down his back basket and took the words, "It's done, it's done, you should take a look and count." The clerk next to him was wise and brought him a bowl of tea, which he drank in one gulp After finishing it, he said to the old shopkeeper who was looking at the goods, "Second Uncle, I brought someone here this time." He leaned into the old shopkeeper's ear and whispered a few words, the old shopkeeper's complexion sank, and he looked at Mu Yi. , did not speak, just shook his head.

Yu Ziliang was in a hurry, "Why are you always so stubborn? My brother has a very good personality. He just wants to live in this town and make a living. He is waiting for the sect to accept apprentices every five years. You can do it as long as you want." It's convenient, you can say what you want."

The old shopkeeper stroked his beard, "Ah Liang, it's not like you don't know that this town can only keep those from the sect, or those who are related to the Sanshengmen. You—"

Mu Yi remembered that when he was cultivating among humans, he once rescued an old beggar.

The old beggar clung to him later on, Mu Yi, as a tree, was very patient, asking money for money, asking for things, even when the old beggar fell ill in cloudy weather, he took good care of him for two days, As a result, this rogue old beggar was moved, and after learning the purpose of his business, he wanted to follow him desperately.

The old beggar has tasted the ups and downs of life and seen all kinds of worldly affairs. Speaking of it, he has long been aware of the good and evil of human nature. In the old beggar's vulgar words: When you see those people with their tails up, you know what kind of shit they are going to shit .

The old beggar taught him earnestly, because he was afraid that his benefactor, who looked like a piece of white paper, didn't know the dangers of the world, and was too kind, would be eaten to the bone by those villains in human skin, Mu Yi remembered. Whatever he said or mentioned, he put a bag in the hands of the old shopkeeper, and said in a low and soft voice, "Take care."

The old shopkeeper still had a straight face, but he still put the bag in after all.

The old beggar was right.

The result is that Mu Yi rented a house in the town three days later, with a small yard attached, he moved in with nothing, and Yu Ziliang came to bid farewell to him after cleaning up the house for him. .

Mu Yi remembered what the old beggar said, and also remembered the old shopkeeper who was willing to give money with money, and wanted to give some silver taels to Yu Ziliang, but Yu Ziliang blushed and jumped on his feet and said, "I can't do that." Yes, I'm not trying to trick you, oh, it's true." Then he pushed the silver taels back, and left in a hurry.

Mu Yi looked at him with some puzzlement, the same thing, why did the old shopkeeper work, but Yu Ziliang was blocked?Next time you meet that old beggar, you have to ask him carefully.

The yard is not big, with a small fish pond in the middle.

Mu Yi took out a basin made of jade from the storage bag, and dug some black, oily, fertile soil in this yard, filled the elegant and precious jade basin, and opened it with his fingers. Gently put the residual wood with the small tree carved into it.

After ten years of non-stop stroking every day, the uneven surface of the wooden doll has been smoothed by him, making it smooth and smooth.

The jade basin containing the small tree was placed in his room, suddenly lost the wooden doll in his hands and arms day and night, Mu Yi was not used to it, and even thought about putting the wooden doll in the jade basin like this several times Li's actions are of no help at all, but trees have always relied on the earth to take root and sprout, and he used to keep the wooden doll by his side because he had to travel everywhere.

Now, it's time to let it return to the earth.

Infinite vitality surged deep in the earth, perhaps better than the aura he conveyed and the essence of water he watered.

Mu Yi touched the jade basin with his hands, and seemed to be able to see the little tree lying in the middle of the jade basin, stretching, brewing, waiting for rebirth.
