The hand that catches the ghost trembles slightly

"Isee trees of green, red rosestoo.

Iseethembloomformeandyou.

and I think to myself what a wonderful world."

While the few people were talking, there was a burst of singing coming from the depths of the distant woods.

They have never heard this song, but they can recognize the singing voice.

It's Yao Wenjing!

The two and one ghost finished their break and walked in the direction of the sound.

Yao Wenjing sang this song very gently, and her Mandarin is also very standard. Each word is pronounced very clearly, and it sounds very peaceful and long.

Xia Yu was chewing on the meaning of the lyrics in her heart, but after chewing for a long time, she couldn't chew it out, so she simply asked: "I see green trees and red roses? I see them blooming for you and me? I think to myself, what a wonderful world?"

Zhu Junyang: "... Your English literal translation, it's a bit difficult to get into college, right?"

Qin Chengshan laughed shamelessly.

Xia Yu blushed: "Then what... am I not patriotic, so I didn't learn English well."

"It can be said to be very high-sounding." After teasing her, Zhu Junyang explained: "Don't worry about the meaning of the lyrics, there is spiritual power in the singing, and these spiritual powers seem to be soothing something. It should be Yao Wenjing's trump card, Yao Wenjing It must be in danger."

"So scary?!" Xia Yu urged, "Then why are you dawdling? Speed ​​up and save the ghost!"

The two changed from walking to running, quickly passing through one bush after another.

Xia Yu tugged at Zhu Junyang's sleeve and was carried away by her. With her eyes closed, she recognized the direction of the singing and showed them the way.

She realized belatedly—since Yao Wenjing's singing appeared, that cry had completely disappeared.

Could it be that Yao Wenjing has already met the crying person?

Xia Yu couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

After running for a short distance, several people could already see light projected from the front.

Qin Chengshan raised his voice: "It's the exit!"

"Let's go." Zhu Junyang held Xia Yu's arm and sped up the speed again. The two of them rushed out of the forest in one fell swoop.

Suddenly brightened up.

The sun shone down from above, making people unable to open their eyes.

Xia Yu looked up against the sun, but didn't see the sun, only saw an irregular roof far away from them, covering the space below.

And these bright lights are emitted by a huge stone inlaid on the top.

They are on a square platform, and if they take another step forward, they will step into the air and fall down.

The place below is very large, and there is a huge umbrella tree in the middle.

The tree is green and dark in color, with a small part of the leaves glowing fluorescently, and the remaining large leaves are dull as if they have withered.

The ground was about seven or eight meters high, but the tree was much higher. Xia Yu had to raise her head high to see the top of the tree.

Yao Wenjing's singing came from under the tree without stopping for a moment.

Zhu Junyang and Qin Chengshan slowed down, and they were also a little shocked by this giant tree growing underground.

"Let's go down." Zhu Junyang said.

Qin Chengshan was stunned for a moment, walked to the side and looked down, suddenly dizzy for a while: "This... how do you get down so high?"

Zhu Junyang patted Xia Yu's head: "She can go straight down, but you are in a bit of trouble..."

Xia Yu: "Why go straight down? I can't, I'm afraid of heights, this is too scary!"

"Is that so?" Zhu Junyang stroked his chin, "Then let me help you."

After speaking, she stuck a talisman on her face and kicked her off the platform.

Xia Yu landed in a parabola without making a sound.

Zhu Junyang pulled out his whip and swung it at Qin Chengshan.

Qin Chengshan thought she was going to attack him, but just as he was about to dodge, the whip wrapped around his waist.

Zhu Junyang threw five talismans sideways, and turned to him with a friendly smile: "Hold on firmly."

Then she swung the whip forcefully, and she was also thrown down by the force.

Qin Chengshan almost choked himself to death in his throat. The air flowed quickly around his face, and he was filled with wind when he opened his mouth. In the end, he could only close his mouth and accept the arrangement of fate.

With five talismans, Zhu Junyang landed safely in a very cool and dizzy state.

After landing, she withdrew the whip. Qin Chengshan's legs went limp, and he sat on the ground, feeling nauseous.

She picked up Xia Yu who was upside down again, tore off the talisman on her face, and shook the non-existent ashes on her body.

Xia Yu said weakly: "I can understand kicking me down, but why stop me?"

Zhu Junyang put her on the ground and said, "I'm afraid that your voice is too loud to attract others' attention."

She raised her chin, motioning them to look ahead.

The roots of the giant tree penetrated deep into the soil, twisting and crisscrossing. The trunk was very thick, and a person under the tree seemed like an ant—as small as it was.

Countless dark green vines hang down from the branches, automatically without wind.

A person was hung in the air by a tree vine, with his head upside down, and he was still singing the English song from before.

There is another person on the trunk.

He was tightly entangled by several vines, only his head and feet were exposed.

Qin Chengshan recognized this person at a glance: "It's...it's Wang Tao!"

The owner of Lingling Internet Cafe, the former leader of the Lingling Office, is a sleeping vegetable in the hospital.

Zhu Junyang said in a deep voice, "It's his soul."

It turned out that Wang Tao's lost soul was bound here.

Several people walked forward and approached the giant tree.

Yao Wenjing saw them sharp-eyed, kept singing, shook her head at them cryptically, preventing them from approaching, and pointed to the purple flower on the ground directly in front of the giant tree.

Zhu Junyang stretched out his arms to block several people: "This is the flower in Boss Wang's ward."

Xia Yu squatted down to observe what is so special about these flowers at close range.

Zhu Junyang covered his nose: "It's really fishy."

Qin Chengshan looked at his former boss tied to the tree but had no choice but to ask Zhu Junyang, "How can we save them?"

Zhu Junyang didn't dare to act rashly without knowing the situation, so he could only say: "Wait and see."

Yao Wenjing's song seemed to be coming to an end, she hummed the last tune softly, her voice was ethereal and the tune was melodious.

At the end of the song, all the people present suddenly became very quiet for some reason.

The vine entangled Yao Wenjing shook twice, and sent her to the end of the purple flower, which was next to Zhu Junyang, Xia Yu, and Qin Chengshan.

Wang Tao, who was entangled in the middle of the tree trunk, looked down at them and said softly, "Thank you, little girl." His voice was extremely hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Yao Wenjing shook her head, but said nothing.

Qin Chengshan said urgently: "Wang Chu! Who trapped you here?"

Wang Tao's reaction was very slow, and he turned his gaze to him after a long time, and asked tentatively, "Cheng... mountain?"

"it's me!"

Wang Tao gave a low laugh: "It feels... like... I haven't seen you in my whole life..."

At first, his speech was a little incoherent, as if he was not used to long sentences, but he gradually became fluent later on.

"You don't need to save me." Wang Tao said, "I stayed here voluntarily."

"Why?! What the hell is going on here?"

Wang Tao said: "Actually, there are no forests or trees here. What you see are all fake, everything is its disguise."

"I had this premonition before, if I guessed correctly—" Zhu Junyang said, "This is the leyline of Dragon City."

Wang Tao cast admiring eyes on her: "Little girl knows a lot."

Then he sighed, raised his head with difficulty, and looked up at the giant green umbrella above his head: "As you can see, most of the leaves on this giant tree have withered, and the same is true for the veins of Dragon City."

Many things happened during this time, and Wang Tao slowly told them one by one.

Dragon City is a new city, and its economic development has been less than 100 years, so it is logical that the land will support it for a long time.

But recently, Longcheng, which has never experienced earthquakes, has experienced several small earthquakes, and the spiritual power that was already almost thin in the air suddenly disappeared.As the manager of the Longchengling Office, Wang Tao began to investigate the matter himself.

He investigated for a long time, but found nothing unusual.

Until one day, he passed by the train station and heard a burst of crying.

His soul was ripped away by this cry and came to this space.

At that time, there were no trees here, and a phantom of a leyline was crying pitifully.

"More than half of the leylines have been dug away, that's why I heard the crying..." Wang Tao sighed, "If Dragon City is a small city for health preservation, this crippled leylines can last for a long time, enough for us to find new ones. something to replace it."

But Dragon City is not.

Dragon City is also known as Coal City.

And the ground veins that were already severely damaged cannot withstand such unscrupulous mining, and will soon be completely exhausted.

When the earth veins are exhausted, the city will die, and natural disasters will come here at that moment. At that time, it must be a scene of devastation.

So he chose to stay, using his soul as nourishment, trying to prolong the last calm before the storm as long as possible.

So he chose to stay in this dark underground, locked tightly to a tree, separated from his body, had no food or drink, and no one even spoke, enduring the boundless loneliness and the pain of being devoured by his soul power, day after day. one day.

Xia Yu felt that her eye sockets were moist, but Qin Chengshan had already burst into tears.

This 1.8-meter-long northeastern man cried like a child: "Why...why didn't you tell us..."

"What you said... what can you do?"

Qin Chengshan also had a grudge against Wang Tao.

Blame him for being suspicious, blame him for being greedy for power, blame their good spiritual office for becoming scattered...

Wang Tao said: "Let's go, look for a substitute for the leylines. If I find them before my soul is exhausted, maybe I can be saved."

Qin Chengshan clenched his fist and slammed it on the ground, dripping with blood.
