Vol 2 Chapter 44: : grateful to zero

The tree is one of the oldest forms of life.
Sun Wukong looked up at the sky, and the light tree swayed in the night sky, like a dream.
Its light shone on the ground and awakened the Shouma who fell asleep at night.
"what is that?"
They went to the window and looked at the light tree in the sky.
"Brave treasure tree."
Some people called out its name.
They have heard of the legend since childhood.
No one has ever seen a brilliant treasure tree, but after they saw the light tree, the desire in their hearts told them that it was a brilliant treasure tree.
Inside the tree, there is their shadow.
This is the resonance engraved in the soul.
"You did it."
Someone said behind Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong turned around and saw the civil and military officials gathered behind him.
"It's not hard."
He said to the Emperor Suma.
The light tree was created by him using the Taoist script. It is no more complicated than the Wanling Tree. Sun Wukong can use the tree to simulate the heavens and roads, and naturally he can create brilliant treasure trees.
Brilliant treasure trees are the key to the space where the shadows are located.
"How do we get back the shadow?"
The emperor looked at the light tree and his eyes shone.
"You can only go in and take it."
Sun Wukong replied: "The fairy law in your body becomes a curse, perhaps because the shadow has changed."
He told the emperor that it would be dangerous to take a shadow in the space opened by the brilliant treasure tree.
The emperor frowned.

Can Shangxian go in with us?

He asked.
"...no."
Sun Wukong shook his head. He wanted to do this, but he had to maintain the shape of a brilliant treasure tree outside.
The emperor looked at Sun Wukong.
Is this person really trustworthy?
There was a slight uneasiness in his heart.
But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After they miss it, they may never be able to unlock the curse.
"I can only believe him."
The emperor finally chose to believe.
He didn't know if there was any trapping in the treasure tree, but he still let Sun Wukong open the passage.
Under the guidance of Sun Wukong, the light tree unfolds a huge canopy.
A strip of light-colored leaves fell from the treetops, and fell to the ground, turning into a circle of light.
The voice of Sun Wukong sounded: "Go in!"
The emperor took the first step and disappeared into the aperture.
The military officers present at the scene followed, and no one hesitated.
In the sway of the flame, there are Sun Wukong and some civil servants under the tree.
The aperture has disappeared.
"Why did it disappear?"
A civil servant asked.
"Glorious treasure trees can only make so many people pass."
Sun Wukong replied: "Can you solve the curse, just look at them."
The civil servants are somewhat upset.
At this time, Zhenyuan Daxian stood up.
He pulled out a jug of wine from his cuff and said, "Xiandi, the prime minister just gave me a pot of wine, and we drank it."
Sun Wukong nodded.
The two sit down and drink, regardless of the surrounding civil servants.

What is the danger in there?

Asked Zhenyuan Daxian.
"I didn't go in, I don't know."
Sun Wukong replied.
Zhenyuan Daxian smiled: "Maybe the shadow is fine."
Sun Wukong smiled, he reached out and a book appeared in his hand.
"what is this?"
Asked Zhenyuan Daxian.
"They have to come out for a long time."
Sun Wukong took the wine in one hand and flipped the book in one hand: "I want to read the book."
While maintaining the light tree, he still has Yu Yu to read books.
Zhenyuan Daxian had some helplessness. After drinking the wine, he felt bored and began to close his eyes and meditate.
He did not recover Xianli, he always felt uneasy.
Practice can calm his mind.
Time passed by, and when the civil servants of Suma State were sleepy, the light tree suddenly swayed.
A roar came from the light tree, getting closer and closer.
"It's coming out."
Sun Wukong put down the book on his hand and turned to look at it.
Zhenyuan Daxian also stopped meditating, and the civil servants looked at the light tree.
When a flame emerged from the light tree, it ignited it and expanded rapidly. In an instant, the whole tree burned.
The "boom" sounded, the tree crown of the light tree suddenly burst, the violent light obscured the sky, and then the dark objects rushed out of the light tree, like an arrow rain generally flew in all directions.
Those dark objects are shadows.
One of the shadows flew over the top of Zhenyuan Daxian, and the ‘啪’ rushed into the civil servant around him, and then he reflected the shadows at his feet.
The civil servant stunned and then ecstatically squatted on the ground and stroked his shadow.
"My shadow, my shadow is back!"
"My shadow is back!"
Then, other civil servants were also surprised.
The sky shadows across the sky, flies over the palace, covers the entire Shou Ma country, and the entire city has a pleasant voice.
"Shadow, this is the shadow!"
"The curse has disappeared!"
"I finally saw myself!"
Countless calls blew the darkness, and the joy was heard.
"They unlocked the curse."
Zhenyuan Daxian heard these voices and couldn't help but smile.
He just wanted to congratulate Sun Wukong, but noticed that his expression was a little dignified.
"Xiandi, what happened?"
Asked Zhenyuan Daxian.
Sun Wukong looked at the canopy: "They haven't solved the curse yet."
Zhenyuan Daxian looked down at his sight, and the back was slightly cold.
Above the light tree, a huge black mist gradually formed into a human form.
"What it is?"
Asked Zhenyuan Daxian.
"Shadow fine."
Sun Wukong replied.
"The shadow can really be perfect!"
Zhenyuan Daxian never imagined his unintentional words, and it turned out to be true.
He looked at the shadows. After it was formed, the emperors and military attaches of Shouma also flew out of the trees.
"Can't let this monster eat the shadow again!"
Emperor Shouma sipped and led the military and black shadows.
For a time, the sky was shining, and the Shouma people tried their best to attack the shadows.
They are huge, but how to attack, after the shadow is broken, it will be restored again.
Sun Wukong’s expression looked solemnly for a while and gradually returned to calm.
Zhenyuan Daxian also breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems like nothing big."
He said.
The shape of the shadow is ever-changing, as if it is not affected by any immortality, but it does not attack much.
In addition to encircling others with darkness, the shadow essence will also devour the shadows of others to control each other, but above this, there is no deeper attack.
"Xiandi."
Zhenyuan Daxian looked at Sun Wukong: "This shadow is a treasure, but it will not fight now."
Sun Wukong nodded and decided to take the shot.
He read a curse, and the brilliant tree blasted openly, turning into countless optical symbols, surrounded by shadows.
Those runes locked the shadows and turned into a small ball that fell into his hands.
The shadow of the Emperor Shouma, who could not eliminate it, was sealed by Sun Wukong.
The emperor led the military officer to the ground and looked at Sun Wukong in a complicated look.
They watched Sun Wukong for a while and then squatted on the ground.
"On the fairy, the Shou Ma people are grateful."
Said the emperor.
