Chapter 74:

Nan He and the others glanced at each other, quickly opened Yuan Xianger's backpack, and found a tightly wrapped branch from it. Opening the outer packaging, the branch that was wrapped with the spirit stone was still fresh, and the small buds at the top were lustrous and pleasant, showing no signs of wilting.
The four heads came together and stared at the little branch.
The branch swayed slightly in everyone's sight, as if trying to express something.
"Does it have something to say?" Hu Qing said in a puzzled manner.
"Let me try." Du Shuo raised his wings, the feathers on the wings faded all the way, the pale arm stretched out to twist the branches, he closed his eyes and concentrated, and a clearly visible spiritual force flowed down his fingertips. Slowly poured into the branches, the light of aura gradually enveloped the entire branch.
The thin branches were shining brightly, and the curled small leaf buds drew out, and out of them a little man holding his knees emerged. The little man grew up in the wind and quickly grew to the size of a finger. He finally stretched his limbs and stood up. .
"Thank you." She lowered her head and patted the turquoise dress, and bowed to Du Shuo. "I didn't want to wake up so early, but I felt like something happened to Axiang in my deep sleep when I was in my backpack. Sleeping, but was awakened by a strange and familiar wave. That should be the unique ability of our tree spirit."
"who is it?"
"Who did it!"
"where is she?"
"do you know?"
Dushuo, Wuyuan, Nanhe, and Hu Qing spoke in unison.
The little tree spirit supported his chin with a finger, "Well, I can perceive that he is very strong. It seems to be gathered with many compatriots. His branches are pure white. Well, that spiritual power can help Xiang's body was taken away together, and it should have relied on the help of the human circle."
"White, many, human circle..."
Nan He's eyes fluctuated, he pondered for a moment, and raised his head.
Chishi Town! It's the white stick tree in Chishi Town.
The four exchanged glances and happily reached a conclusion from each other's eyes.
Night falls,
Yuan Xianger was placed to rest in a gorgeous and elegant wing.
In this wing room, Ling Luo was radiant, and the pearl foil silver screen was stunned. The round table jade pan is covered with frosty orange, red and orange, and the bedside purple table is set with warm fragrance. The luminous exotic plants are covered with a transparent glass lampshade, which becomes a unique lighting equipment in the house, one by one hanging on a red coral tree several meters high in the corner.
Yuan Xianger was lying on the purple gold bed with mink velvet, standing on her feet and watching the pearl inlaid on the roof.
It must be said that the conditions they use to seduce themselves are a direct attack on human weakness. The life here is luxurious and comfortable. There is no need to work at all. You can do nothing all day long, do not have to bear the pain and responsibility of childbirth. There are different types of beautiful men treating you every day How many people can't be moved by the diligent pursuit?
In such an environment of ignorance of suffering and comfort and enjoyment, what will the next generation of human beings eventually become?
The window of the house was facing the courtyard, and the huge white ash tree could be seen. He gently swayed the soft branches in the evening breeze, making a fine and pleasant sound.
It seems that the same as Lu Yi said, this white bamboo tree is really happy.
With the soft sounds of wind chimes in his ears, Yuan Xianger gradually closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she discovered that she had appeared again in front of the white bamboo tree in her dream, but at the moment there was no South River under the tree.
Sitting on the branch is a young boy with short hair, his head held up, looking at the huge full moon hanging in the sky. The cold moonlight sprinkled on his childish face and slender limbs, giving him a translucent sense of unreality, as if speaking louder, he could disappear without a trace in the air.
"Who are you? Why did you trick me here?" Yuan Xianger asked.
The boy turned his face, his pale eyelashes blinked, his face was innocent and confused.
The ground under Yuan Xiang'er's feet began to shatter, and the huge white oval tree in front of her also collapsed in all directions, and the world became bright again after the darkness.
There is no huge white bamboo tree, no magnificent county guard house, here is just an ordinary m-loess leveled yard, the yard is low-walled, there are chicken coops and wells, and there are three or two thatched huts inside. It is an ordinary one. Small farmyard.
A dark-skinned man was digging in the courtyard with a and planted a small sapling into the courtyard.
He wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead with a towel on his shoulders, carefully watered the roots of the saplings, looked at the seedlings planted in the ground upright, and smiled happily. Up.
"Come on and grow roots, little guy, you will live in our house in the future." The man ran into the house, and quickly picked up a wrinkled newborn baby from the house, and carefully held the half-high sapling. On the side, "Look, my daughter-in-law gave me a baby, I planted you in the yard, and you two will grow up together in the future. Will it succeed?"
The baby in the swaddle squatted its mouth and let out a loud cry full of vitality. The young tree sapling standing in the yard shook the only two small leaves in the wind.
Yuan Xianger was standing in the courtyard at this moment, as if time and space were missing. The people in the courtyard didn't even notice her existence. The young man transformed by the tree spirit stood beside her at some point, holding her hand, and looking at the scene in front of him with a happy expression.
In the blink of an eye, the little baby turned into a toddler. He staggered out of the room, touched the branch of the little tree, and gasped for breath.
"Ken'er needs to eat more food and grow taller. You and the tree grow faster than who else." The man touched the child's head and said.
"The root... the root grows fast." The babbled child stammered.
"Hmph, he was wrong, he has never grown longer than me." The Shuling Juvenile pulled Yuan Xianger and said with a smile.
Yuan Xianger knew that she was in a dream, but the dream seemed to be too detailed and real, as if she was in another person's memory.
The little doll named Gen'er grew up like a strip, and the sapling grew taller and taller, with a strong body and a canopy like a canopy.
Every day, the boy who came back from the mud all over would climb up the tree branches numbly and rest on the body of the small tree.
"Xiaobai Xiaobai, we won the fight today, but we beaten up some of the little cubs in the next village."
He named his partner Xiaobai who grew up with him.
"Xiao Bai, Liu'er from the next village is really good-looking. Today, I pulled her braids and made her cry."
"Xiaobai, why are you growing up so fast? I hope I can grow up faster too. Dad is old and couldn't cough up the floor a few days ago."
So the whole family slowly began to call this little tree Xiaobai.
Xiaobai, Xiaobai.
"Xiaobai grew up really fast, remember that Gen'er planted him in the yard together in the year he was born?" The mother of the family hung a clothes drying rope on his body.
"Xiaobai is also a member of the family. It's nice. You can enjoy the cool shade under his tree. The weather this year is really hot." The man as the father put a rocking chair under the tree.
The little boy Agen became a strong and powerful man at some point. He carried a and pushed open the courtyard door to come in. He drank a sip from the well, then lay down on the rocking chair under the tree, using his shoulder I wiped my sweat with the towel.
"Xiao Bai, Dad said he wants to marry me a daughter-in-law," he looked at the shade of the tree canopy above his head with some annoyance.
"But the years seem not so good these years. I don't know why the land is getting dry, food can't come up, and demons often appear. I'm afraid the family won't be able to spend money to marry a wife."
A gust of wind blew, and the emerald-like leaves rattle in the wind and salsa, seeming to be answering my friend's words.
"It's Xiaobai, you don't seem to be affected, you are getting more and more beautiful." The young man lying on the rocking chair smiled.
Yuan Xiang'er held the hand of the young tree spirit, and she could feel everything that the tree spirit felt, so she knew the reason why the land was drying up.
A large amount of spiritual energy flows under the ground, flowing like a tide over this land. Ordinary plants cannot withstand too strong spiritual power and are gradually dying in the heat, but some gifted creatures have begun to learn to absorb spiritual power from the land. , Grow more vigorously.
The spirit world is slowly breaking away from the human world, and here is about to become a part of the spirit world.
Droughts, famines, and the frequent appearance of huge and terrifying demons made the fragile human social structure here quickly lose its former leisurely contentment.
Yuan Xiang'er felt that her palm was tightened, and the boy who was holding her seemed to think of something and became panicked.
The quiet and gentle village was noisy in an instant, and there were constantly startling crying sounds somewhere, and then people began to go in and out, hurriedly carrying away one dead body after another.
The tree spirit boy looked panicked. He didn't know how all this happened or why it happened. The days of peace and tranquility no longer exist, and the creatures he has always liked are rapidly declining.
"Xiao Bai, I won't live long." The man who had grinned his white teeth and planted it in the yard appeared beside him. The pillar of this family didn’t know when he started to get so old. He was full of gully, his back was bent, his rough fingers touched the tree trunk, and he raised some muddy eyes.
"I won't be here in the future, you have to stay with Gener and take care of him for me."
That night, there was a cry that frightened the teenager from the house. After a long time, A Gen slowly walked out of the house, lowered his head to the tree, and put his hand around the tree trunk. The moist feeling spread through the skin of the tree. Came in.
Agen is crying, holding him and crying,
"Father is gone, my mother is almost dying. There is no food to grow in the ground. There are still monsters outside, Xiaobai, I really have no way, Xiaobai, can you help me, help? I."
Xiaobai was shaking the green leaves. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to tell his friends that there was something very delicious in the land under their feet, and his roots could get from it every day. He draws endless delicious and nutritious food, but why his beloved friends are not getting such delicious food and are leaving one by one.
He had no other way but to grow the roots desperately, relying on his instinct to try to extract the flowing delicacy, hoping to pass them on to Agen.
But no matter how madly he worked hard, the noisy and lively village in the past quickly quieted down.
The human beings disappeared one by one, and Xiao Bai felt more and more scared, afraid that his companions and family would disappear like this, afraid that one day A Gen would suddenly become a cold corpse just like everyone else.
A Gen was lying on the rocking chair under the tree. The once muscular man is now so thin that there is only a skeleton left. He stared blankly at the beautiful branches and leaves above his head like gems.
"Xiao Bai, I'm at the end too. Fortunately, you are still there. You were with me when I was born. When I leave, please give me a ride."
His eyes began to close slowly, and he heard the familiar sound of leaves rustling in his ears in a daze.
These sounds are too noisy. Almost making him unable to sleep well, he tried to open his eyes.
The green crown of the tree in front of him seemed to have become a vast expanse of white. A strange white branch hung down from his sight and reached his mouth. The sweet juice dripped into his dry mouth and poured into his hungry mouth. Stomach.
The dying Agen was rescued by the white Ole Tree that suddenly became spiritualized at the last moment!
The white stick book secretes delicious juices that make people full. The only surviving humans in the village rely on this magical white stick tree to survive the severe famine years.
People began to gather again and worship under the tree, thanking him for his life-saving grace. They put beautiful banners on this magical tree and respectfully called him the tree god.
The village slowly recovered its former liveliness, and the reassuring days seemed to be back again.
The newly healthy Agen married Liu'er from the next village as his wife. Like his father back then, he carried his newborn child in his arms and came to the tree.
"Xiao Bai, look, this is my son."
The picture changed again before my eyes, the walls, thatched huts, and villages were gone.
The banners hanging on the tree are exquisite and beautiful. The dilapidated courtyard has become a luxurious and magnificent mansion. The bumpy dirt road and the slow scalpers in the village have disappeared. Instead, there is a flying eaves and emerald jade-seeking building. The fire trees and silver flowers never sleep.
Standing on the big tree that has survived for hundreds of years, the Baizhu Shuling held Yuan Xiang'er tightly with his cold hands.
This is his spiritual world. Yuan Xianger looked through his vision. The gorgeous and unusual building fair was gray and black in the tree spirit's eyes, silent. He couldn't see the humans mixed with the rich blood of monsters, and he rarely could. I can hear their voices.
"No, where did everyone go?" He turned his head to look at Yuan Xianger in confusion.
"You...can't see them?" Yuan Xianger asked.
"No, everyone is gone." The boy just shook his head blankly.
His vision is different from that of human beings, he can only see what he wants to see.
"That's why you pulled me over?" Yuan Xianger sighed, and took this creature completely different from himself and sat down on the branch.
The boy lowered his head for a moment and said, "There is a voice telling me that my favorite friend is back and I am very happy."
Hundreds of years have passed, and the tree spirit, who has lost its original body, has completely changed into a spiritual body, has forgotten many things.
Only a deep-rooted obsession can not dissipate for a long time.
"I can't stay here." Yuan Xianger said gently, "There are no humans here anymore. You know, there are a lot of humans living in the floating world without aura. If you still want to live with humans, I can take Are you going back together?"
"A floating world without aura?" The boy shook his head, "I can't go, without aura I will soon wither."
"You stay with me."
He stared blankly at the huge bright moon in the sky with beautiful eyes, and did not intend to reason with Yuan Xianger.
Yuan Xianger exited the dream and woke up at that moment,
She got up from the bed and opened the window. The moon outside the window was like water, and the huge and beautiful white wood was quietly bathed in moonlight. There was a pleasant sound of clinking branches.
He is a powerful creature that cannot communicate.
It seems that he can only find a way to leave quietly.
...
Lu Yi was in the house, asking the attendants of the mansion,
"What is that person up to?"
"It's always been quiet," the waiter replied happily. "The little lady ate a bowl of longan porridge, half cage steamed dumplings, half cage gold and silver crisps after she got up early. She praised our food well. After the meal, she asked for needlework. , Twirling two pieces of cloth and immersing his head in wondering what's sewing.
Lu Yi stood up, rummaged through the bookshelf for a long time, and found an ancient book that had been treasured for hundreds of years. He saw a woman in the album sitting in front of the window and piercing the needle skillfully, and nodded, "It's fine, listen. Women who say that the world of the floating world likes these needlework, as long as she doesn't run outside, she wants to serve as well as possible."
Yuan Xianger cut two pieces of brocade in the room, stuffed them with cotton, and sew them into a girl-like figure.
Seeing that no one on the left or right pulled out a piece of his own hair and stuffed it into the doll, he gathered his breath and calmed down, pointing to the empty book charm, carefully drawn a substitute charm on the back of the villain, and breathed a little. The little man became a woman with exactly the same appearance and clothes as hers.
Yuan Xiang'er was not diligent in practicing serious spells, but she was very interested in these miscellaneous side sects and covered a wide range of skills. This double-in-hand technique is one of the spells that she finds very interesting.
The avatar transformed by this technique looks the same as a real person, but it is sluggish and unable to move around. Looking at it from a distance can be deceived one or two times, as long as you walk in and take a look, talk, and push, you will immediately reveal yourself.
Yuan Xianger walked to the door, poked his head and looked around. Lu Yi was still very worried about her, and there were countless guards in the courtyard outside the door to guard her escape.
However, even though these people are guards, they are all used to living in the last life. They have never suffered or been exhausted, and of course they will not stand upright and fully guarded like real soldiers.
But two or three groups on the left, and four or five in a pile, leaning together to chat and chat.
The two attendants closest to the door, Yuan Xiang'er was particularly impressed. One of the two would lay eggs and the other would be pregnant. It was Lv Yi who deliberately arranged the candidates to approach Yuan Xiang'er first.
Yuan Xianger smiled at them.
"I want to quietly read the book for a while. Some of you are arguing to me, can you please..." She politely made a please gesture, "Please stay away a little bit."
"Yes, yes, of course, no problem."
The two men nodded their heads and backed away for a while, happy because they were talking to Yuan Xianger.
After all, there are so many people in the yard staring at this room, and she has no chance to escape.
"Look at her actions, it's really beautiful. She speaks softly."
"Girls in the floating world are different. They can read books. I don't even recognize my name."
"Yes, that is, I hope she is the first one to see me."
"Why are you? You don't know how many generations your dragon bloodline has been passed down. It has long been mixed. The men of our water horse tribe are the most considerate to take care of women. Don't you know?"
"What are you talking about, are you trying to fight?"
The two outside the house quarreled from a distance, and no longer wanted to monitor Yuan Xianger's actions inside the house.
Yuan Xianger quickly helped the stand-in doll to sit by the table, with her back against the window, and a book in her hand, posing as if she was concentrating on reading. She stood quietly at the window and stretched out her hand to open the window to let it outside. Everyone in can see her back sitting at the table.
Afterwards, she took out a yellow talisman from the purse she carried with her. There was no rune written on this talisman, only a talisman head and tail were drawn, but there were countless trident-shaped small footprints in the middle. It's like a little chicken stepping on the cinnabar plate, and then stepping on it again.
Yuan Xiang'er hid behind the window, twisting the chicken claw talisman, putting it in her hand and praying, "Jin Yu, Jin Yu, this time it's all up to you. We must work harder. Let's succeed at one time."
The author has something to say: Lu Yi's name is derived from the chameleon's nickname "Refuge," and the name probably means people who want to get something for nothing.
One of the species of lizards can reproduce parthenogenesis, that is, as long as the two ladies are touched and warmed up, they can become pregnant. It is a really amazing creature.
In the hippocampus family, the mother lays the eggs in the father's pouch, and then the father is born with a big belly.
Let me also talk about the fun fact about buying Shuanghuanglian last night.
The stupid author had a fever once a year ago, so he was a little brave. As soon as he heard that he wanted to buy medicine, he hurried out to find a drugstore. As a result, I don’t know why most pharmacies are closed. In the middle of the night, there are many people who go out to buy this. At the door of the pharmacy, a few young people who don’t know each other came out to buy medicine. They turned their minds and added WeChat (wearing masks and hats, far away, and they don’t know the beauty of each other. Ugly), everyone decisively divided the urban area in the WeChat small group, and each drove to one place to find a pharmacy.
The result is the following situation,
A certain young lady: "Report everyone, there is no such and such hospital near."
Another young lady: "The search for the road section of XX is completed, no, it is not used."
A little brother: "Little sisters, find a family here, come, come."
Everyone turned around sharply.
Little brother, "Sorry, it's out of stock, everyone don't come, it's my mistake."
After tossing all night, of course, I didn't buy anything in the end, but I probably kept my house closed for too many days, and I felt quite happy to go out for a walk. The strange brothers and young ladies are so cute and gentle. It was a funny and enjoyable experience. (Shuanghuanglian is useless, don’t follow me)
