This night was extremely long for Xu Tian, ​​and he didn't fall asleep again in a daze until the first daylight in the east revealed gray-blue light through the window paper.

It seemed that he had just closed his eyes when he heard some small voices. After being woken up, Xu Tian realized that the sky was already bright.

Sleepiness and fatigue pulled every inch of his muscles and thinking, he almost closed his eyes and continued to sleep, but a little thought lay there, like gravel in his shoes, making him still unable to close his eyes and fall into a comfortable sleep. tired sleep.Those are a lot of trivial but necessary things, and they are combined into this thought, which is called "not everyone is qualified to indulge in this kind of lazy sleep".

Xu Tian rubbed his face with his callused hands, and sat up after regaining consciousness.He jumped when he saw his surroundings.

This house seems to have been unoccupied for more than ten years, there is a thick layer of dust everywhere, peeling soil and cracks on the walls, dry and moldy traces on the feet, the window frames are crooked, and the sunlight Falling through the cracks in the broken tiles above the head.

Subconsciously, Xu Tian turned his head to the brightest side, facing the light coming in from the window, and looked at it. Xu Lizheng was standing by the window, holding dry food in his hand, biting it in his mouth and slowly sipping it.

This way of eating hardly made any movement, but Xu Tian still woke up, even though he was so tired that he wished that the joints that creaked when he moved on the bed were well and slowly repaired and lubricated by themselves.

"A Li, is that gentleman still there?" Xu Tian asked.

Xu Li nodded. Seeing that Xu Tian was awake, he walked over and handed over the dry food in his hand: "It's still there."

After Xu Tian got an affirmative answer, he took the dry biscuit.He finished eating in two mouthfuls of cold water, and told Xu Li to go out in a hurry.If the fairy had left at this moment, he would have no way to get it back.

He kept thinking about it, thinking of the gods opening the gates, and rows of cross-legged skeletons surrounding the house, heads with hollow eye sockets all turned towards him.

Xu Tian's breathing was stagnant, and he didn't remember this incident until the hairs on his back were all standing on end.

The gentleman carrying the piano was standing outside the courtyard. He looked no different from yesterday, but the surrounding environment had changed greatly.The grass was sloping, the houses collapsed, and there was a very thick tree in the center of the village, but it seemed to have died long ago, leaving only dry branches, like a hand with blue veins.The room they lived in last night was already the most complete in the whole village.A gust of wind blew past, and there was a whining sound among the dead trees on the ruined wall, which made people feel hairy.

Li Chi stood at the entrance of the yard, quietly looking at the dead tree with its branches stretching to the sky.

The matter here has not really been resolved, he is not here in his original body, this is just an incarnation, if he wants to resolve this matter, it is best to get some fate.It is not a coincidence that all the people in this village turned into living corpses, and the "ghost hitting the wall" outside the village is not the work of goblins and ghosts in the mountains, it is a formation specially set up for this place.That formation was even arranged when the village was established.

In that tree, there is still the only remaining spirit in the village, crying out in pain.

"Ask the gods to save me!"

Li Chi looked down and saw that Xu Tian had already walked out of the yard, dragging Xu Li who was ignorant to his knees to beg.

"The road has been revealed, you can go back along the road." Li Chi said.

Xu Tian didn't get up, pulled Xu Li and begged, "I beg the gods to save this child! He, he wasn't what he is now. He was the smartest kid around us, and he could read, but five years ago..."

It became like this five years ago?Li Chi became interested.

Xu Li was insane, and Lichi had already noticed it, but he didn't trace the cause and effect of each creature every time he saw it, so he didn't pay attention to the reason before.

But Xu Li's soul was not damaged, and there was no injury in the skull. If this condition is insane, it is probably a congenital disease, but he is acquired...

Li Chi's gaze fell on Xu Li, and after a closer look, he discovered that Xu Li had only half a heart.The other half is the animal heart, the two halves of the heart work together to prevent Xu Li from harming his life, but there is also a problem with his sanity.

Li Chi looked into Xu Li's karma.

As Xu Tian said, five years ago, Xu Li was an ordinary person with normal mind, his father died young, and there was only one mother in the family.His mother is a very far-sighted and persevering person. She not only raised Xu Li alone, but also sent him to study in the school in the town.Xu Li was also very upbeat. The teachers in the school appreciated him and recommended him to the county magistrate.

Seeing their family's life getting better and better, Xu Li's mother suddenly fell ill.

Xu Li invited all the doctors he could, but every doctor said that his mother was sick from overwork and had run out of fuel.

"...He used up the few family assets he had just saved to buy medicine, and later, a goddess came to our village..." Xu Tian was still talking.

Li Chi's eyes fell into the cause and effect of the past, and he saw a goddess with a gentle face, who was facing Xu Li and said: "...the fate is chaotic, so there is worry. Fate returns to its place, it makes sense, according to the reason And go, hence the name Wuyou.”

"The goddess said that her name is..." Xu Tian continued.

"...Worriless Goddess." Li Chi's voice joined his.

"You, do you know that goddess?" Xu Tian asked in surprise.

Li Chi didn't answer.

Worriless Goddess, he had heard of this name before, the Goddess of Medicine, Mochizuki, who was enshrined by the Yun family in Shuigu Town, was instructed by Wuyou Goddess, so she came to ask himself for a chance to become a demon god.Lu Gu, the god of water and earth, once said that this is an righteous god who has no fixed temple and is especially good at fortune-telling. He often gives advice and confusion to people.Lichi and her had no intersection at all, but because she saw the node in Mochizuki's fate, they had a brief indirect connection because of Mochizuki, but at this time, they unexpectedly encountered her whereabouts in Liang Guo.

She saved Xu Li's mother and gave him half of his heart.And what she said to Xu Li once became very interesting at this moment.

Because of the chaotic fate between heaven and earth, worries arise.The worries she was referring to were not common worries in the world, but fundamental and unsolvable worries.If the destiny is backed up and straightened out, it will be able to demonstrate the principle of destiny operation, and all living beings can act according to this principle.

Just like cause and effect, ordinary people are afraid of evil effects, but those who understand this principle know that what should be feared is the cause that will cause evil effects.If you do not create this cause, you will not suffer this effect.If you are afraid of the pain of drowning and dying, you should not jump into the turbulent river to swim; if you are afraid of dying of hunger and thirst in winter, you need to plant the cause of harvest and storage in spring and summer.This is just the most superficial principle of cause and effect, but there are not necessarily rare people who are brave and lazy to work.

The same is true for the principle of destiny. If you can understand this principle and act according to it, you can avoid or even change the bad part of your destiny, and you will naturally get worry-free.

However, the fate between heaven and earth is now chaotic, and cause and effect are broken.Even if he didn't have the idea of ​​gaining benefits by avoiding karma and changing his fate, but under the interference of countless broken karma and wrong fates over the years, the fates of most creatures in this world have been affected to some extent.

Xu Li's fate is chaotic.Although Lichi is not proficient in numerology, he can also deduce one or two from its cause and effect.Before Xu Li became a human in this life, he should have had the life of an ignorant animal, but his fate was messed up. The life of the animal and the life of the human body merged into one, and he was directly reincarnated into a human fetus.

Compared with the human body, the disadvantage of animals lies in their ignorance. If they don't have the opportunity to develop spiritual wisdom and cultivate into a demon body, they will just live in a daze for the rest of their lives, and it is difficult to understand the truth.The Worriless Goddess exchanged half of Xu Li's heart in order to make up for the original number of animal lives and to reorganize the numerology.

"...Your fate is too deeply entangled. If you want to save her life, your fate must be made up."

"How long will it take for my life to return to normal?" Xu Li asked at that time.

"Your fortune has been messed up, so this matter cannot be seen clearly." The Goddess Wuyou shook her head, "When the fate is complete, it will return to normal."

So in this matter, if Xu Li wants to save his mother, he will have to be ignorant for an unknown period of time, maybe three or five days, maybe three or five years, or maybe... the rest of his life will be completely like this.If he is not willing, then his mother's life has reached a critical point, and she can't change it, or she will die.

He was still young, his teachers admired him, he had a bright future, and madness was enough to ruin everything.His mother is very old, and his mother's wish is that he can be promising... A mortal has 32 billion thoughts at the flick of his fingers, and the thoughts are continuous, good and evil. No one knows how many thoughts flashed through Xu Li's mind at that time, but It only took him an instant to give the answer after he got the answer from the Goddess of Worry-free.

"I beg you to heal my mother." He bowed to the Goddess of Woyou.

……

Li Chi has seen all the cause and effect, and Xu Tian's story has also been told.

"There are only orphans and widows left in their family. Although his mother's illness is cured, she can't work anymore. A Li became like this and lost his original good job, but he is very obedient and willing to work. The strength is the head..." He looked anxiously at Lichi, who only looked at the dead tree in the village.

Xu Tian didn't know if the gods listened, he was afraid that talking too much would annoy the gods, and at the same time he was afraid of missing this opportunity, so his voice could not help but gradually lowered, but he refused to stop talking.

Li Chi didn't say anything more about it, but suddenly said: "You can bury all these bones under the tree."

Although he didn't turn his head, both of them understood that he was speaking to Xu Li.Xu Li let out an "hey" and got up to start working.

He didn't know how to be afraid, he just remembered that his fourth uncle had told him to respect this gentleman last night, so he would be obedient.

Xu Tian wanted to hold him back, but hesitated because the words were spoken by a god, and within a short while, he was unable to hold him.Xu Tian couldn't help feeling anxious.Those skeletons were all moving and talking ghosts yesterday!Even though there are a group of immobile skeletons now, their skin and flesh are gone, but their bones are not scattered. This, this is obviously abnormal!

Xu Tian gritted his teeth and said, "I'll do it!" As he said that, he was about to get up and clean up the bones for Xu Li.

"Let him do it himself." Li Chi said.

Xu Tian had no choice but to stop and looked at Xu Li worriedly.

Strange to say, these skeletons sat here all night, and the wind blew the rocks in the middle, so they didn't scatter, but Xu Li's fingertips just touched the surface, and the bones scattered by themselves, just piled up in a pile, and didn't roll around.

Xu Li was insane, but at this moment he seemed to be sober, doing things in a very orderly manner.He first went back to the room, took out the furoshiki from the basket and spread it on the ground, and then picked up the scattered bones one by one on the furoshiki.

Xu Tian was so startled that he almost jumped up.Xu Li is still stupid at this time, although he can do some work such as chopping firewood and trees, but it is because he has done these things before he was stupid, so now he still has instincts.But these things he is doing now are the skills of a bone picker. Xu Li has never been in contact with them before. How did he do it? !

At this moment, Xu Li felt as if he suddenly saw a bright light.

Since his heart orifice was sealed, he was like being sealed in a strong jar, and he could only understand the world through the jar with difficulty.He could see and hear many things, but he couldn't understand or feel them, just like yesterday when he lost his way in the forest, he could see himself and his fourth uncle circling in the forest, but he couldn't understand what it meant, let alone feel fear.

But just now, the moment he touched the surface of the skeleton, the jar that sealed him seemed to have suddenly cracked a gap.From that gap, he saw the light...

"...God of the tree, what I offer you today is our own homemade rice wine, do you like it?" A young man is making offerings under an old tree in the village. Let go of the chest and let it fall naturally.

The leaves fall, their backs facing up.This stands for negation.

"...Huh? Do you think it's normal?"

face up.This represents the tree god saying "yes" again.

"..."

"Do you like it?" asked again.

Back side up.

The young man did not give up, and asked several times, with the same result. Finally, the tree god got annoyed with the questioning, and the leaves fell directly out of the range in front of him.

The tree god ignored him.

The young man pouted and asked again: "Then do you like sweets? Next time I will bring you sweet wine?"

face up.

……

When Xu Li picked up the last bone, the memory that suddenly appeared was over.But the light in the gap did not go out, and Xu Li seemed to hear a voice from it...

"... Tree God, my child is seriously ill, is there any way to save him?" It was a female voice.

……

Li Chi had already reached under the tree, and Xu Li was digging a pit beside the tree to bury the bones.The soil there was very easy to dig, and the roots of the trees in the ground opened up small spaces, which collapsed after a couple of hoeings, just enough to bury a skeleton in it.

Xu Tian was terrified when he saw it.Those underground tree roots are clustered into empty nests. He has grown so big, and he has never seen such a tree root.

Li Chi remained silent, his eyes wandering, not knowing where to look.Xu Tian raised his eyes to look at him, only to feel that those black eyes were as deep as a bottomless pool, which made him shudder.

"Do you know this village?" Li Chi asked suddenly.

"I didn't..." Xu Tian just wanted to deny it, but suddenly stopped. He originally thought that he had never seen or heard of the existence of this village, but when he was about to say it, he suddenly felt a little bit of dissatisfaction. harmonious.

He looked around the deserted villages around him, and felt that his memory was covered by a thick curtain, and he could only see some shadows, as if he didn't know him, but he felt familiar.

"A village with a big tree in the village...a village with a big tree..." Xu Tian murmured, "I have an impression..."

He grew up here since he was a child, and he is familiar with the nearby villages. He has an impression... Xu Tian tried hard to recall, with a painful expression gradually appearing on his face.

Li Chi waved his hand, a gust of wind blew past, and Xu Tian was instantly cleared. After the hidden memory appeared, a look of horror appeared on his face, and he lost his voice: "I remember this place!"

"This is Shenshu Village, how...how did it become like this?" Xu Tian looked around again, bewildered and distressed.

The nearby villages often walk with each other, and the tree god in Shenshu Village is also very famous nearby, how could he forget?When did he start to forget the existence of Shenshu Village?

"...It was six years ago! When the plowing started six years ago, I came to exchange grain!" Xu Tian said, "But after that, we never contacted again..."

The more he thought about it, the colder he felt.The nearby villages are all married to each other. Xu Li's mother was originally from Shenshu Village. Why did they suddenly lose contact with Shenshu Village? None of them felt strange?

Xu Tian looked at the bones again, feeling both fear and sorrow: "They, how did they become what they are now?"

Li Chi sighed: "Everyone is innocent..."

The wind blew through the branches of the dead trees, making a long cry like a whimper.

Xu Li had already buried one bone after another, and his mind was like a sealed jar. The more bones he buried, the more memories he saw, the more cracks on the jar, and the clearer his mind became.

……

"... Tree God, what I brought you this time is sweet wine. Grandpa kept talking about it every time he went out, and this time he told me again, saying that he offered rice wine to you. Wine." Another young man placed offerings under the tree, and after finishing placing offerings, he picked up a leaf and asked God.

"Did you like this offering?"

back.

"Huh? What don't you like?"

The leaves floated out.

This question is wrong and cannot be answered.The young man asked again: "Do you think the pastry is bad?"

back.

He asked all the same questions, but they were all wrong. In the end, only rum was left.

"...Do you think sweet wine is not good?" the young man asked cautiously.

front.

young people:……

"...Are you tired of drinking?"

front.

……

The last bone was picked up, and that memory ended again.In the pot full of cracks, Xu Li's mind illuminated by the light dimly flashed a thought.

The Tree God has been drinking sweet wine for decades, starting with his grandfather.

Then, he heard the female voice again, and... the sound of leaves falling to the ground.

Snapped.

back.

"My child is seriously ill, is there any way to save him?"

back.

"Tree God, is there any way to save my child? Any way will do."

back.

The female voice went from tired to hoarse, but she still refused to give up.Over and over again... I kept asking, I kept begging, and the leaves turned back every time, but they never floated out once.

"Tree God... Please..." The female voice finally had a weeping voice, "Is there any way to save him? I am willing to do anything! Please... Please... Is there any way... ..."

The leaves are falling slowly.

Snapped.

front.

……

"Shenshu Village..." Xu Tian murmured sadly, "Many years ago, there was a legend that a god came here with a few people fleeing from famine. The god planted a tree and let people settle down here. With Shenshu Village..."

Li Chi raised his hand and pressed it against the trunk of the dead tree.

In the heart of the tree, there is a bead as warm as topaz.The last remnant of the tree god's spirit group was inside, screaming and crying.

……

The sun rose from the east to the zenith, and then fell from the zenith to the west. After half a day, Xu Licai finally buried the last body.

That is another picture of worshiping the tree god.

The old man let go of the hand that was clasped in front of his chest, letting the leaf that was caged in his palm fall, but the leaf fell straight to the northwest, out of the range in front of the old man.

The old man froze for a moment, then readjusted his questioning method, but the leaves still drifted out of range.The old man tried a few more times, and suddenly his face changed.

Each time, the leaves are falling in a northwesterly direction, and each time, the tips of the leaves are pointing northwest.

It's not that the tree god didn't answer, but that the answer was hard to explain.

The big tree shook its branches and leaves, but the sound was no longer as peaceful as before, but full of impatience.

Countless leaves were shaken off, each falling toward the northwest direction, with the tips of each leaf pointing to the northwest.

"Do you want us to go northwest?" asked the old man.

front.

"now?"

front.

The old man got up and hurriedly greeted the others.

However, it was too late.

The hidden formation was activated.

……

Li Chi's hand was on the tree trunk, and in the tree trunk, the remaining spirit of the tree god could not stop mourning.

700 years ago, the Great Yin conquered and subjugated the kingdoms. A monk rescued many people who escaped from the war and brought them to this wilderness.He planted the tree and taught people to live in it.

The monk did not leave his name, and people recited the life-saving grace of the monk, and worshiped under the tree planted by the monk himself. The sacred tree grew up with the establishment of the Shenshu Village, and soon gave birth to spirituality.It grew bigger and bigger, and its root system gradually spread over half of the mountain forest, gradually connecting with the ground veins.

The spirituality of the tree god also becomes the spirituality of the earth veins. It accepts people's incense offerings and fulfills people's wishes. As long as this continues, it will be born as the natural god of the earth someday in the future.

But the monk who planted it at the beginning didn't intend to do so.

There was also a formation that was arranged at the same time as the tree species.

The earth vein has no heart, but the tree has a tree heart. After the earth vein is integrated with this specially refined tree species, the power of the earth vein gradually rises with the root system of the tree, and a tree heart is condensed in the trunk.From then on, this earth vein has a heart.

But as long as the tree god is alive, no one will be able to obtain that precious heart of the earth veins.

The tree god who has condensed the heart of the earth veins means that he controls the power of the entire earth veins, and the tree god is hard to kill.Besides, if the tree god is killed by force, he must bear the karma of this world.Although the karma in the world today is chaotic, it is still in operation. It is not so easy to use karma.

But the tree god can kill himself.

When the tree god was born with wisdom and ignorance, he would naturally absorb the incense offered to it.It has grown up like this, so naturally it doesn't feel like a problem.

The formation hidden underground has not been detected, because the formation itself is not complete, and it cannot be detected when it is not completed.

When the heart of the earth veins condenses, the formation is completed.

The heart of the tree is the heart of the formation.

The formation operated spontaneously, turning all the people in this village into living corpses.People in Shenshu Village were brutally killed, and their souls were trapped in their bodies and could not be freed. The underground formation was operating day by day, torturing these villagers who could not be freed. Their resentment became more and more serious with time, and this deep resentment, There is an incense connection with the tree god, and one day the tree god will be worn down to death.

...they should hate me...

The remaining spirit of the tree god continued to mourn.After the formation was in operation, Shuxin was restrained by the formation. If he was severely injured, he could only watch the people of the whole village die, and there was still no peace after death.

With his last strength, he used tree roots to weave a burial place for the dead villagers, in which the thick earth energy can bring peace to the living corpses.But the formation is constantly running, and the resentment is as deep as the sea, and no living corpse is willing to be buried here.

"No." Li Chi's voice sounded in the tree's heart, "I use the sound of the zither to overcome suffering, and their bodies of bitterness will disappear, but their bones will not linger, in order to be able to return here, to the burial place you arranged for them Place."

The wailing of the tree god gradually subsided, but some still failed to find peace.

……

Xu Li stood in front of the tree blankly, the things that were trapped outside his mind like a crock pot had already spread all over the cracks, but they were always a little bit short and could not really break open.

He has buried all the people in the village, and he has also felt the relationship between each of them and the tree god, but that layer of things trapped outside his mind is blocking him, so he can't feel those emotions, but And feel what I should feel.

Li Chi suddenly pushed him on the back, Xu Li couldn't help but fell forward, resting his hands on the root of the tree, he saw another memory.

"... Tree God, my son has been rescued."

He heard the female voice again, this time, she was holding a child.

Xu Li suddenly saw her face clearly - it was his mother.

His fate was messed up, and he was cast into a human fetus by mistake for a while, and the karma of the past involved him, trying to cut off his life in this life and reincarnate into an animal in the first life, so he fell ill.

His mother begged the tree god for help and kept him.But life changing comes at a price.

Therefore, Wuyou Tiannu said that if he wanted to save his mother's life, he had to make up his original destiny.

The woman in the picture led him to worship three times devoutly, with joy on her tired face.

In front of them, a luxuriant tree swayed its branches lightly.

Snapped.

It was like the sound of a crock pot breaking, or the soft sound of leaves falling to the ground.

The ignorant mind has been shattered, and half of the animal heart has turned back into the human heart. When the mind sees the light, the memory returns to clarity, and the emotions that were blocked outside the mind surged. Those were the feelings of his mother and all the people of Shenshu Village. .

Xu Li threw himself under the old withered tree, and let out a painful sob from his throat.

Li Chi patted lightly on the tree trunk, and the remnant spirit of the tree god let out a sigh. Following his will, the heart of the earth veins quietly shattered, and the power within it re-entered the ground.
