Don't fall in love with a pig killer!

After Xie Qiushi closed the window, he didn't notice any movement outside.

Immortal spells have been cast in the small building, which looks several times more spacious than the outside, and the setting is not like a fairy house, let alone a mausoleum, but somewhat similar to the Yemeng Bieyuan on the outskirts of Dongling.

Headmaster Xie took two steps in the building with difficulty, only one word came out of his mind: chaos.

Master Xie murmured: "Even I feel confused, this Taoyuan Immortal really can't enjoy the blessing..."

I saw that the four sides of the small building are all carved wooden boards, and there are vines and vines in the gaps, and the walls are full of dragon tendons and snakes.Several old wooden archaeological shelves were crookedly knocked down on the ground, and on top of them there were stacks of ancient spiritual artifacts, and a bamboo ladder was randomly placed between the archaeological shelves, and behind the bamboo ladder was hidden a copper bird smoker The stove, which has been exuding a faint fragrance for a hundred years.

Xie Qiushi hurriedly turned his head and covered his mouth, and sneezed a few times before rubbing his nose and walking to the smoker. Fuzhi thoughtfully twisted the copper bird's neck, and the copper bird let out a high-pitched cry, and spit out a wax pellet from its mouth. .

Master Xie didn't know why, he wasn't surprised at all, he unscrewed the wax pill, and there was a small paper scroll hidden in the pill, with four large characters written on it: Don't forget the way.

"The meaning is unknown." Xie Qiushi muttered as he turned the scroll to the wrong side, his complexion suddenly changed.

He stared blankly at the small characters on the back of the scroll, and his name was written in black and white on the scroll: Xie Qiushi.

Shang said: Xie Qiushi, I knew you forgot your way again!look up.

Xie Qiushi was confused, subconsciously raised his head according to his words, and saw a small secret door in the middle of the ceiling hidden by the stalks.

"Where is this the way to go?" Headmaster Xie thought, moved the bamboo ladder and barely set it up, and was about to step on the bamboo ladder.

The bamboo ladder squeaked, and he managed to hold himself steady by chanting a curse. Then he tiptoed and stretched his body to reach the secret door, only to hear a "click", the secret door was pushed by him, and opened outwards. A beam of bright light poured in.

Before Xie Qiushi had time to see what was outside the secret door, there was a "Xisuo" movement above his head, followed by a loud "swirling" sound in his ears, and a group of pigeons rushed in from behind the small wooden board, flapping their wings around him. There was a thumping of the front and back, and he was thrown from the ladder to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a huge bird's nest on the top of his head fell in response to the sound, impartially, and happened to hit him with yellow and white hair.

Sect Leader Xie was furious: "What the hell!! I dug your ancestral grave!!"

He stood up from the debris on the ground with his head full of thatch, and before he had time to attack, he saw a thick rope hanging from the place where the pigeon's nest had fallen behind the secret door.

When he understood, he was still cursing, but he grabbed the end of the rope and climbed up.

This climb took a long time.

From the ground to the skylight, the naked eye can only see the height of a foot, but Xie Qiushi felt that he had climbed a distance of tens of feet, his hands were painful from the hemp rope, and he wanted to use the fairy spell, but he was stuck in his throat , how can not read it.

He pursed his mouth and looked down aggrievedly. It doesn't matter if he doesn't look, but he was startled when he looked - where are there any small buildings, mausoleums, and five sects under him?

Looking up, the skylights and secret doors have disappeared without a trace. The sky above his head is like washing, the wind is dancing and the clouds are dancing, the mountains are surrounded by mountains, flying springs and waterfalls, and birds are singing in his ears.This climb, it seems that he is no longer in the world!

Xie Qiushi only felt a slight pain in his temples, something brightly colored flashed in front of his eyes, and it was foggy and he couldn't see clearly, so he had to keep going up along the rope until he touched a cold rock wall.

This is a cliff.

The beginning of the rope was tied to the old pine tree in front of the cliff. Xie Qiushi climbed up the tree and jumped up, his feet finally landed on the ground smoothly.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, and sat down along the old pine, panted for a while, then climbed up again to look at the stone monument standing in front of the pine.

The inscription on the stone tablet: Where the heavens and the earth are boundless, where the gods and ghosts are separated, go up to the heaven, go down to the mansion of ghosts, the realm of half immortal and half ghost, this is the only place!

Xie Qiushi raised his eyebrows, walked around behind the stele, and saw a narrow stone step winding up behind the old pine, leading straight to the clouds, with no end in sight. There was also a narrow stele in front of the stone step, which read: Yifeng is the place where Fandeng Wonderland must pass.It has been free from dust for many years, and the scenery moves with the heart, so it is called "Yingtai Peak".

"In this way, going up here is the heaven." Xie Qiushi thought, "Since the stele says that this place goes up to the heaven and down to the ghost's mansion, isn't this cliff going down..."

Thinking in this way, he walked to the edge of the cliff that he climbed up just now, and looked into the distance, he saw that the Wuling Mountains were as far away as a pocket piece, and further down, he was next to Taoyuan Village of the Dongling Counties. It is said that Feilong River flows through it.

Across the mountains, you can see a blue ocean, from which the Jin River that separates the north and the south flows into the sea. The Jin River flows through a plain full of mountains and flowers, which is the famous "Taoyuan Ferry". It is also the only waterway from the Jin River to the sea.

Xie Qiushi gazed quietly for a long time, then squatted down and watched for a while, and finally sat down cross-legged, letting the wind blow his temples, looking at the distant rivers, lakes, seas, and lush mountains, his heart suddenly fell into a very natural silence, It seems that he should have been rooted here for a long time, looking at this scene.

He didn't know how long he had been sitting, and in the gentle breeze, he felt tired. He knew that he shouldn't sleep, but his eyes blurred.

His eyelids twitched lightly, and the strange yet familiar picture unfolded in front of his eyes like a scroll.

"What are you looking at?" He vaguely heard himself saying.

A voice as cold as snow answered beside my ear: "Human world."

"Is it still the Taoyuan Ferry?" He asked again, "You come here every year, stand here every year to watch, and never thought of going there to see it yourself?"

The man didn't answer.

"Can't you go too?" His tone became lively inappropriately, "You are not me. You have hands and feet, eyes, nose and mouth, and you can fly around freely. How can there be such a thing in this world? Where you can't go?"

The man still didn't speak.

He wanted to look up at the man's expression, but found that he couldn't lift his head up, and couldn't move his eyes. He was stiff and straight from top to bottom, and he could only feel a mellow and cold fairy power standing over him in a ignorant way. In front of him, he stood not far away, as if he had been standing still for a long time.

"It's so boring, what a fairy, why don't you talk to me." He heard himself say, "I've been staying here since I was conscious, and I've never seen any living things, but ghosts crying and howling, complaining Shout out, I’ve listened to a lot, and it’s annoying. I just want someone who can talk to me and take me out to play. I envy you. You have hands, feet and a good kung fu. Wherever you want to go, just go where."

"You have hands and feet, and you may not be at ease." The immortal finally said, "You were born at the junction of immortals and ghosts, facing Yingtai Mountain, and backed by the tree of living souls. , naturally no one will come here.”

Hearing this, he yelled: "It turns out that the endless screams are all because of this tree. It's so noisy, it's so noisy. Help me pull out the pole of this stinky tree!"

The immortal was speechless for a long time, and then said: "You are so noisy, you also think that people are noisy."

He let out an aggrieved "Hey" and wanted to continue to beg, but saw a gust of wind blowing, curling up the fairy's long snow-white hair, the fairy ignored him, and stood quietly for a long time, then stepped on soft snow-like footsteps, Like when he came, he disappeared quietly.

People walk and flowers fall, the wind is still blowing, rivers flow into the sea, and waves rush.

Xie Qiushi opened his eyes, and sat there for a few moments in a daze, then stood up startled when the sun was setting, "Was that just a dream?"

He circled around the cliff, but he didn't find the immortal, nor did he find any traces left by others. He walked to the place where he was standing in the dream, but he didn't see any difference.

"Sure enough, it's all fake." Xie Qiushi sighed, and was about to walk forward when suddenly he staggered and almost tripped over something.

He said "Hey" and looked down, only to see that he was stepping on half of a dry and thick tree root. His heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the fairy's sentence in his dream, "Facing Yingtai Mountain, backing against the Living Soul Tree".

He immediately trotted forward two steps along the direction of the withered root, and he saw a tall and gnarled dead tree growing behind the cliff, opposite to the stone steps up the mountain.

Xie Qiushi opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at the giant tree that hugged him thickly. He smelled the familiar fragrance of vegetation at the end of his nose, as if what he was seeing was not a dead tree, but an old friend who was very familiar with him.

He couldn't help but walked closer, but he saw that the giant tree's branches spread out, twisting and stretching for tens of meters, but every branch and every leaf was dead, from the root system to the trunk, there was no life at all.

He subconsciously reached out and touched the branch gently, the branch trembled softly, the dry outer skin would shatter when touched, and fell to the ground like powder.

"Living Soul Tree." He murmured softly, "You are the Living Soul Tree."

"It is indeed the tree of living souls." A soft voice sounded.

"Who?" Xie Qiushi suddenly turned his head.

I saw a little boy standing on the stone steps leading to Yingtai Mountain not far away, looking at Xie Qiushi curiously, and said in a childish voice: "This fairy, what is the business of coming to Yingtai from afar?"

Xie Qiushi raised his eyebrows: "I'm not a fairy. Who are you?"

Xiantong said: "My name is Songshuang, and I have come to Yingtai Palace to learn art recently. The two senior brothers Zhuoquan and Yinghe ordered me to guard here. If you want to go up the mountain, Immortal, please ask Sendshuang to guide you."

Xie Qiushi stared at him for a while, then suddenly took a step forward, gently tugged at his braid, and raised his hand: "I told you, I'm not a fairy."

Sending Shuang yelled "Oops", blushed and said, "Senior brother said, those who can see the tree of living souls are either ghosts or immortals, not immortals, are you a ghost?"

Xie Qiushi was taken aback for a moment, and let go of his hand, and the boy jumped away like a rabbit.

He waited for a while before saying: "Yes, then I'd better be a fairy."

Sending Shuang raised his head, looked up at him with clear eyes, and compared the path around him: "This is it. Immortal, please——"

Xie Qiushi followed him and walked a few steps forward, couldn't help turning his head, looked at the tree of living souls for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Songshuang, do you know that such a big tree... why did it wither so far? "

Sending frost shook his head.

Xie Qiushi sighed with a smile: "You are just a child, so naturally you don't know."

Sending Shuang shook his head again, and said crisply: "That's not one tree, it's two."
