Qin Di made a vow, and then he heard a voice: "Okay, I have opened up a road for you, and you can walk along this road."

He looked around and found that the originally very hard tree suddenly cracked a cave. The cave was not dim, and it was faintly yellow. The cave was deep and I didn't know where it led...

He walked forward, and in the cave that was high, he was winding, up and down, as if there was no end.

It took about an hour before he walked into a cave about three meters high and five meters wide.

The cave was spacious and bright, like a tea room with wooden tables and chairs, and an old man, wearing a slutch dress, with a mess of hair on his head, a gray-black face, rough skin, and looked like a tree bark. His eyes were very deep, with a faint green light. He glanced at Qin Di and said, "Little brother, please sit."

Qin Di didn't expect this to be the scene. He thought that what he saw was just a wooden heart or a small sapling. How could it be an old man? Since he was an old man, why did he stay here?

He hurried forward and saluted: "Boy Qin Wen, pay homage to senior!"

The old man waved his hand: "What are you talking about, senior, junior! I have died once. What you see now is just a faint incarnation image. When you get outside, you may disperse when you are blown by the strong wind!"

Qin Di said: "Senior, more than 20 million years have passed, why didn't you choose to be reborn?"

The old man said, "Because I encountered a bottleneck, I couldn't see the road ahead clearly, and I don't know how to go. Even if I was reborn, I would only follow the old path. I would inevitably suffer twice and suffer two sets of sins. So why should I be reborn? If I hadn't heard you say that I had seen some Hongmeng Golden Books, I wouldn't be moved. Who knows who you are? How could I know that I was not the incarnation of an immortal emperor who came here to deceive me?"

"Senior, you are standing in front of you. If you don't believe it, you can still interrogate it carefully."

"No need, since I asked you to come in, I have already made up my mind and not afraid that you will lie to me. Besides, with your skills, you may not be my opponent. There is still a lot of divine power left in my body."

Qin Di smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust. The boy was born late. I don't know what happened back then. Why did so many immortal emperors work together to cut down the sacred trees? I know that there are many sacred trees that are quite valuable and can be symbiotic with humans and become the best friends. For example, you, you used your huge body to communicate with the three realms in the past and allow mortals to climb into the sky. What an interesting thing!"

The old man sighed: "Little brother, do you think that human hearts are inherently good, or are human hearts evil?"

Qin Di said, "Boy doesn't know."

The old man said: "There are good and evil in human hearts, just like trees. Among our sacred trees, there are man-eating trees and evil ghost trees, which have devoured many humans. Therefore, the sacred trees are cut down, which is worthy of sin. But what about humans? People who are deceiving and killing constantly. After becoming immortals, those who are afraid that others will become immortals, so they use too many immortals to cut off the ladder, which is called "Escape from Heaven and Earth". I am just a scapegoat."

"Senior, why did you grow so tall back then?"

"Because I am one of the oldest ancient trees! It's just that I was late in my life and was confused in my early years, and I just had no brains. I only remember that there was an old man who preached under the shade of my tree. There were many people listening to the lectures below. I still remember the old man's name was 'Hongjun'. As for what he said, I can't remember clearly."

Qin Di was surprised: "Oh my God! When Hongjun preached, he was under your shade? That was an amazing event!"

The old man said, "I was already two thousand feet tall at that time, and the shade of the trees was like a cover, covering the sky and the sun. I faintly heard the old man patting the trunk, saying that the taller the tree grows, the better. It is best to pierce the sky, pass through the vortex of chaos, and reach the real heaven to get freedom..."

"The old man also said that Pangu was too rude in the past. He split the good eggshell into two petals, breaking the circulation of heaven, so that the clear air cannot rise and the turbid air cannot descend. Therefore, no matter how hard the people living on the ground cannot live forever, and cannot become the real god..."

"I couldn't understand it at that time, so I remembered these few words and forgot everything else. At that time, many people listened to the lecture. What the old man said was too mysterious. I was confused. I fell asleep and woke up again..."

Qin Di asked, "What does the ancestor Hongjun look like? Is he a living person?"

The old man pondered for a moment and replied, "He seems not to be a human being. He may be transformed by the Taoist energy, his body is ethereal and his eyebrows are not clear. I only remember that there were many colorful cyclones above his head. Later, those cyclones turned into pages of Hongmeng Golden Books and flew to all directions. Then his figure dissipated, as if he had never been such a person."

Qin Di said in his heart: "It's not a human being, but it's possible that it's a god. Perhaps this great god Hongjun has left this world long ago. He may have returned to heaven first, and the Three Pure Gods and the Five Old Emperors are just following in his footsteps."

"Senior, what else do you have? Why don't you clean up and leave with the boy? I'll take you to Shanglinyuan to breathe the fresh air and see the sunshine outside. As for the future road, let's slowly think about it and we will find the path sooner or later."

"Well, wait a moment. Let me gather the remaining skills together."

Qin Di was waiting quietly, and then he heard a "clog" sound in his ears, and his body trembled slightly. After a while, the old man in front of him disappeared, the wooden table and chair in the tree hole disappeared, leaving only a three-foot-high, oval egg, and a few green branches emerged above his head.

Then a voice came: "I have gathered all the divine powers of this tree body into the wood heart. I still have nine such wood hearts. You need to find them, then bury them in the soil, and combine the ten wood hearts into one. I may be able to restore my 10% of my skills in the past. Don't worry, this time I will not grow into a towering tree like before. I lack magical powers and magic powers, and it is useless to grow taller."

Qin Di was overjoyed: "Senior, where are the other wood hearts?" He thought to himself: "Ten wood hearts may not be the ultimate. They may not be assured of me, so he only said so much."

"If you can find this place, you can find the rest of the wood hearts. In addition to Jiuqiu, there is also a wood heart in Liangfu Mountain."

Qin Di was a little worried: "I offended the ancestor of the Styx and dared not go to the underworld in the short term."

"You don't have to go to the underworld anymore. Liangfu Mountain is connected to the light and bright. Although it is not high above the ground, it is connected to the underground! As long as you find the middle ground of the ancestral star, you can find Mu Xin."

"That's great. Please give me some advice on the next path."

Qin Di put away the three-foot-high wooden heart, then walked out of the tree hole, and quickly left the Taotang Hill.
Chapter completed!
