Chapter 68: Revealing Dragon Tree Bark, Hope the Emperor Will Take Care of It

Nantianmen is located in the Minlin area. The cliffs extending on both sides above form a relatively narrow passage below. It is unknown whether it is a scar left by a battle in ancient times or a miraculous work of nature.

After listening to Uncle Zhang's introduction, Shi Lan decided to go to Nantianmen.

He explained the situation to Hutao, who wanted to find some raw materials for his equipment. The latter expressed that he wanted to follow him, saying that if something went wrong, he could solve it on the spot...

Shi Lan originally planned to agree, but when he saw that the latter brought an extra shovel when packing his equipment, he decisively rejected her.

Hu Tao explained seriously that the shovel was only used to help peel off tree bark, and was definitely not used to dig holes to bury people...

Shi Lan turned around and ran away without saying a word.

In fact, there is probably no danger in this trip to Nantianmen. At most, there are just some Qiuqiu people or slimes that need to be dealt with. This can be dealt with, so one person can do it.

Travel light and if the journey goes well, it will take about five days to come back.

He went to the Adventurers Association and bought a large map of Liyue. After studying it for a long time, he was surprised to find that the entire terrain of Liyue was almost the same as what he remembered. As long as he knew the names of many places, the thoughts about that place would pop up in his mind.

Scene terrain.

Shi Lan could probably imagine what it was like in places like Cuijuepo and Jueyunjian that he had never been to before.

He shook his head, not thinking about this strange situation, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Those memories are like dormant power in the body, coming from nowhere.

Shi Lan prepared something.

Ropes, wound medicine, some clean clothes, and some dry food sponsored by Xiangling and Guoba.

Shi Shan was a little worried, but couldn't dissuade him. He could only tell Shi Lan, reminding him not to go to places with many stone pillars when passing Cuijue Slope, not to go to Hulao Mountain among the clouds, and not to touch the strange things on the roadside casually.

Weird stuff.

It is the residence of the Immortal, and there are restrictions imposed by the Immortal's subordinates everywhere.

Shi Shan once climbed up Hulao Mountain for a few pieces of stone amber, but was unexpectedly sealed into the stone amber and imprisoned for three days. Later, Gan Yu rescued him when he was passing by...

Shi Lan listened very carefully to Shi Shan's instructions. These were his father's personal experiences and he benefited a lot from them.

After preparing everything, Shi Lan set off early the next morning.

"Are you sure you don't want us to accompany you?" Chongyun and Hutao saw him off at the city gate.

"No need, just peel off a few pieces of bark and come back." Shi Lan said easily: "Is it possible that Ruotuo can come out from the ground and hit me?"

"I have also heard of the legend of the Fulong Tree. The material of the tree is extremely hard. Apart from the tree itself, there are also some strange things happening around it, so you need to be careful." Chongyun took out a few talismans from his arms.

Biting his middle finger: "I will carve a few amulets for you to prevent evil spirits from getting close to you, so you can feel more at ease when you sleep in the mountains at night."

Shi Lan was very moved: "Very good."

Hutao clutched the bundle and said pitifully: "You really don't need me to accompany you? I didn't bring a shovel..."

Chongyun blocked Hutao behind him and said quickly: "Don't believe her, this girl just bought a bunch of fire control talismans from me last night, and it seems that she also made a few ice element stones from Bulu..."

Shi Lan was stunned.

The walnut-dead duck has a tough mouth: "I did it to light up the bonfire! To keep the ingredients fresh!"

Shi Lan believed that the little girl meant no harm, but what she did subconsciously was really scary. The fire control talisman and the ice elemental stone made it difficult for him not to think too much...

He still vaguely remembered that when he came back from the island in the lake and was injured and bedridden, the little girl slipped an advertisement for a one-for-one burial at the Rebirth Hall through the gap in the window, which made him stunned for the entire morning...

"Well, it's fine if I go alone." Shi Lan showed an awkward but polite smile, took a few steps back, then turned around and ran away.

Hutao waved his baggage: "Have a good trip~"

Chongyun: "..."

Shi Lan turned a deaf ear and walked quickly. He put all his belongings into his cross-body pocket. His whole body felt very light and he was not tired from walking along the way.

Arriving in front of the Seven-Heaven Statue of Emperor Yanwang, Shi Lan took out the incense he had prepared in advance and lit it in tribute.

When Liyue people travel far, they will offer a stick of incense to Emperor Yanwang here and pray for the Emperor's protection during their journey.

Shi Lan prayed seriously: "The emperor protects me, boy Shi Lan, and will leave the city for Nantianmen today..."

Zhongli, who was looking at the port from Yujing Terrace, was moved: "Huh? This guy is out of town? Let me hear what he said..."

The prayers under the statue of the Seven Heavenly Gods can indeed be transmitted into the heart of God, but whether God is willing to listen is another matter.

Zhong Li usually doesn't bother to listen to this, but this kid Shi Lan is so memorable to him.

This is amazing to hear.

"The boy wants to go to Nantianmen to find the Dragon Tree and peel off the bark. The journey is long and the road is difficult and dangerous. I hope the emperor will take care of him..."

"Expose the dragon tree bark? Do you want me to take care of you?" Zhongli suddenly felt like laughing. This was not the usual kind of smile, but the kind of laughter that came from the heart. What do people call this kind of laughter...

…

Yes, it's schadenfreude.

"Shi Lan is going to uncover Ruotuo's dragon scales. Gechen, tell me, if Ruotuo wants to kill him, should I save him or not..."

Grandma Ping handed a cup of hot tea to Zhongli, "Don't you already have an idea in mind..."

"It's really...then we can't save him..."

Grandma Ping shook her head helplessly.

Shi Lan took out the map, confirmed his location, and then continued to head north.

According to his plan, he started from the north gate of Liyue, passed through Guiliyuan, then went west through Cuijuepo, entered the bottom of Tianqiu Valley from Jueyunjian, and passed through the South Gate to see the Fulong Tree.

Based on this journey, without stopping for a moment, we should be able to reach the wooden bridge connecting Guiliyuan and Cuijuepo at night.

This is the first time Shi Lan has traveled so far alone. Except for the time he went to Dihuazhou with Xingqiu and the others, the farthest place Shi Lan has traveled is to pick up shells in Luhua Pond.

By the way, the shell that Keqing bought from him was picked up from Luhua Pond...

Until the afternoon, Shi Lan walked past the last station of the Qianyan Army. They were guarding the head of a small stone bridge. There were only two Qianyan Army guards here, one named Aike and the other named Xinghuo.

Shi Lan had a meal here, filling his stomach and saving some dry food.

"Little brother, are you going on a long trip alone?" Starfire asked enthusiastically, "Aren't you accompanied by an adult?"

Eco: "My little brother is traveling far alone? Isn't there an adult to accompany you?"

Shi Lan explained: "I plan to go to Nantianmen and walk from Cuijue Slope."

"With this distance, you shouldn't be able to reach Cuijuepo at night." Xinghuo looked at the sun and frowned: "It's very dangerous to go to Guiliyuan at night. I advise you not to go and wait until tomorrow morning."

Eco: "Let's wait until tomorrow morning before leaving."

Shi Lan wondered: "What dangers will there be in Guiliyuan at night?"

Xinghuo shook his head: "I don't know. Every night we hide in the house and don't dare to come out. We only hear ghosts crying and howling outside, and it seems that there are scary ghosts wandering around. The last time Eco went out, he was killed by a man who could jump.

The tall kid was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He was finally cured by a beautiful sister with long ears, but now he starts to imitate me... I'm almost going crazy."

Eco: "I'm almost going crazy..."

Shi Lan was shocked: "He has been imitating how you speak?!"

Starfire was stunned: "You just saw it!"
