"who?"
Walking in the forest, Qin Shi looked wary.
"Don't be nervous, little friend. If you go straight ahead, you can see the old man." In the dense forest with lush trees, the voice sounded again, with giggles.
Because of Qin Xuexin's matter, Qin Shi was not in the mood to joke at all, and he was not as unruly and unruly as before. He had already collected all his stubbornness and fell into the most silent stage of his life.
For this reason, he didn't show any interest in the slightly teasing voice. He just solemnly drew out the bloodthirsty sword and hummed to himself: "You are pretending to be a fool with me, I want to see it." Who is he!"
Thinking of this, Qin Shi pulled up his legs and walked straight forward with his head held high, his steps making a rustling sound in the fallen leaves.
With his peripheral vision, he looked around on the tree-lined road, taking in all the flowers, grass and trees around him. He turned around the spiritual power in his body and spread it along the ground beneath his feet, feeling the fluctuations around him.
However, after walking forward for 500 meters, I found nothing. Except for a few towering ancient trees, there were still empty flowers and grass. Where was there any human figure
This made Qin Shitou's skin tingle and he cleared his throat: "No one? Could it be that having been with Qin Xuexin for a long time has made me suspicious and hallucinating?"
A gust of wind blew by.
"Little friend, you are not hallucinating, the old man is right in front of you!" But just when Qin Shi was confused, the old voice sounded again, extremely clear.
"before?"
Suddenly, Qin Shi raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw an ancient tree nearly a hundred meters high not far to his left.
The ancient tree danced its branches as if to greet him. He was startled and took a few steps back: "Oh, yes, it's you who is talking? A monster?"
"You are a monster, you are a monster. Have you ever seen a monster as handsome as me?" The branches danced, and the ancient tree was a little displeased. On the thick trunk, an annual ring slowly opened, making a faint sound: "What a fuss." , Laochan is a camphor tree 'spirit' who has been cultivating for thousands of years."
"Camphor tree 'spirit'?"
Qin Shi scratched his head and muttered awkwardly: "I have seen a lot of handsome trees, but this is the first time I have seen one that is so ugly and can talk."
"You are so talented and ugly, you really don't know how to respect the old and love the young." The ancient tree was so angry at Qin Shi that the thick trunk shook angrily, and then the branches continued to dance, like a whip with long teeth and five claws. Explore towards Qin Shi.
scare!
Seeing the cane approaching, Qin Shi stared back: "Old guy, what do you want to do?"
Who would have thought that Qin Shi just took two steps back, and a branch full of toughness blocked his waist and trapped him.
Trapped by the branches, Qin Shi struggled quickly, but no matter how hard he struggled, he just couldn't break free. He was secretly shocked: "Mid-level spirit-breaking realm? I didn't expect this old monster to have such strength?"
Trapped Qin Shi, the camphor tree spirit did not move, but summoned two weak spiritual powers to brush against Qin Shi's skin, and let out a surprise: "Sure enough, I am so young, but I have such a terrifying spirit. 'Divine power?'
"'Mental strength?"
Qin Shi didn't say anything. When he came out from the foot of Jueqing Cliff, his mental power was indeed greatly improved.
The question is, how does this camphor tree spirit know
"Old monster, if you have any questions, just say it. Don't make excuses here. I don't have time to play with you here." Qin Shi said solemnly while being tied up with the cane.
The camphor tree spirit was stunned for a moment, then took back the branch with Qin Shi tied up, and said: "What a stubborn little guy. Don't worry, didn't I just say that I want to help you make a fortune?"
"Fortune telling?"
Blinking, Qin Shi felt some pain in his body: "Holy crap, what kind of world is this? Even a camphor tree can become a cultivator? The most damn amazing thing is that it can even tell fortunes? Do you think you are a wise star?"
"It's hard to say that there are many stars in wisdom, but Bai Xiaosheng is more than capable." Unexpectedly, this camphor tree spirit was so shameless that he said it arrogantly.
"No, leave it to others. I don't believe what Wu Xuzi has." Qin Shi sweated and shook his head: "This is what you want to talk to me about, so I won't waste time here."
Seeing this, the camphor tree spirit shook his head speechlessly: "Hey, you kid is really ungrateful. I am a thousand-year-old camphor tree spirit, and my whole body is full of precious medicinal materials. I have lived for thousands of years, and I know the geography of the astronomy. People who want to see me to predict the future every day can queue up to the stars, but you don’t need it?”
Qin Shi shrugged, turned around and wanted to leave: "Destiny is always dealt by God, but I have the final say on how to play the cards. Unreliable things like divination of the future are confusing. Almost like a kid!”
“…”
The camphor tree essence was speechless for a while: "Don't leave, don't you want to find the medicine that can heal the soul?"
As soon as he took a step, Qin Shi was shocked: "How do you know?"
"I told you, I am Bai Xiaosheng." Zhangshu Jing laughed and changed the subject: "As long as you are willing to help me, I will help you find the third-grade healing lily flower! How about it? ?”
"Healing lily 'flower'?"
Qin Shi hesitated, but this was a big temptation for him: "Last time in Lihuo Sect, a healing lily flower was enough to help Sister Yu stand tall. After two months, maybe I can help Sister Yu recover this time."
"What do you need me to do for you?"
Paying attention, Qin Shi was ready to ask questions based on the situation.
At this moment, the camphor tree 'Jing', the thick trunk of the tree trembled hard, and saw rotten tree roots rolling up on the ground, feeling a little painful: "Look, little friend."
"Um?"
Looking at the rotten roots, which were severely corroded, he asked, "What's going on?"
The camphor tree spirit shook his head: "That's right, I was originally the overlord of this area of a hundred miles, but not long ago, I don't know what happened, and suddenly another force was competing with me for the nutrients and moisture on the ground. If this continues, I’m afraid I will wither to death.”
"You want me to help you find the reason?"
"Well, I hope you can help me..." Zhangshu 'Jing' said bluntly.
Qin Shi did not agree directly, but instead said with a joking smile: "Aren't you known as Bai Xiaosheng? You can do this yourself Bai Xiaosheng, why don't you need me?"
The camphor tree 'Jing' rolled his eyes, and there was a flash of struggle, and he said with some embarrassment: "Hey, little friend, I don't know something. Although I, Bai Xiaosheng, know everything about astronomy and geography, I know nothing about my own affairs. ah."
Hearing this, Qin Shi hesitated.
His eyes wandered half a circle in the surrounding dense forest, and he thought to himself: "Anyway, I don't know where this is now, and I also want to find herbs to heal my soul. Why don't I just stay and help the old monster?" Hey, let’s get the Healing Lily flowers first.”
Thinking of this, Qin Shi nodded and agreed: "You must remember what you said."
Seeing Qin Shi's promise, the camphor tree spirit became excited and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little friend, as long as you can help me find out the reason, the healing lily flowers will be given to you with both hands."
"Wait for my news."
Qin Shi didn't talk nonsense anymore. He signaled the camphor tree spirit to sacrifice his roots and began to search along the camphor tree spirit's roots, all the way through the mountain forest along the tree-lined path.
It has to be said that this camphor tree spirit is indeed a thousand-year-old tree spirit. When the roots of the tree are exposed on the ground, they are like huge spider webs, densely covering most of the forest.
Qin Shi followed the rotten tree roots and walked towards the source.
Half an hour later, Qin Shi suddenly stopped and found that all the tree roots pointed to a dark underground cave.
This underground cave is very secret, surrounded by bushes, and the entrance is entangled with vines.
If it weren't for the help of the roots of the camphor tree spirit, this cave would never have been found.
"Huh, it's quite secretive. I want to see what kind of ghosts and monsters are causing mischief." Looking at the hole, Qin Shi is sure that the cause of the root erosion of the camphor tree is... It must be in this underground cave.
After paying attention, Qin Shi strutted forward and followed the hole deep into the ground.
In this underground cave, the light is very dim and extremely humid. The ground is covered with green moss and sticky **.
As soon as he entered the underground cave, Qin Shi raised his eyes and faced bursts of Yonglie's spiritual power.
Qin Shi was alert and drew out the bloodthirsty sword, and a stream of blood filled the cave: "It should be here."
Following the underground cave, about three hundred meters deep, the time in front of us suddenly became wider.
Here, there is a space more than a hundred meters square, surrounded by tough rocks. The rocks are densely covered with the roots of camphor trees, and there are candle lights every thirty meters.
Candlelight illuminated the originally dark cave.
"Why is this a place like this again?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Shi couldn't help but think of the cave under the Jueqing Valley, and memories that he was reluctant to recall flooded into his heart, making him feel slightly heavy.
At this time, he tried to stay calm and followed the vines on the cliff. He saw that all the vines were trapped in a crack about a height high on the rock.
Along the cracks, waves of ferocious cold wind continued to come from the small mouth. The cold wind was mixed with a touch of spiritual power, which made Qin Shi couldn't help but become vigilant.
"Help!"
At this time, in the crack, bursts of women's cries for help suddenly came.
Hearing the sound, Qin Shi was stunned: "Is there someone there?"
With a cry of surprise, Qin Shi took a step forward, holding the bloodthirsty sword to cut off the vines outside the crack, and then killed into the crack.
After rushing into the gap, I saw a huge ivy in front of me, occupying a full hundred meters of space.
In the middle of the ivy, there is a girl about twelve or thirteen years old, who is being tied up with intricate rattans.
When the girl saw Qin Shi, she became excited: "Brother, save me quickly, I don't want to die!"
"Stay still!" Qin Shi's eyes narrowed, he raised the bloodthirsty sword and waved nine sword lights along the vine.
The sword light was colorful and brilliant, and it struck the vines head-on.
bump!
Who would have thought that these vines were so tough that they did not cause any damage under the attack of the bloodthirsty sword. Instead, they danced furiously at the same time and roared towards Qin Shi with one blow.
Seeing this, Qin Shi was shocked: "Middle stage of broken spirit realm?"
Before Qin Shi came to his senses, the huge ivy was angered by the sword light. The rattans with sharp thorns danced in the cracks like whips, bit by bit towards Qin Shi. Spread forward.
