Because of the Second Chu-Han War, Wu Jie felt an inexplicable tension, as if fate was warning him somewhere, telling him that something bad was going to happen.
He really didn't understand what would happen in his imagination. He felt that things were not going well for him recently. Although his cultivation had made some progress, the most important important matter had never been settled, and he was always worried.
A big stone; the homeland has been invaded, and the countdown to the country's subjugation has begun; the people in my hometown were killed and injured in the war, leaving only a group of old, weak, women and children, who can hardly even support the door...
Under such circumstances, if something bad happens...that would be too bad.
With an uneasy feeling, Wu Jie set out for the Tongtian Sect.
Most people can no longer provide him with much valuable advice. The only ones who can help him at this time are those fortune-tellers who use their mortal bodies to pry into the mysteries of fate.
Among the fortune tellers currently living in the world, the most powerful one is undoubtedly Su Lin of the Tongtian Sect.
The mountain gate of Tongtian Sect is a banyan forest located on the coast of the East China Sea, adjacent to the Shiwanda Mountain. This banyan forest is lush and green, stretching for hundreds of miles, and the scenery is spectacular. It is one of the scenic spots in the southeast.
The most famous thing about this scenic spot is that there is actually only one tree in the entire forest.
From the perspective of mortals, this scenic single-wood forest in the southeast is a place full of mystery and danger. The outermost layer is suitable for tourism, and the further inside is suitable for exploration. Even further inside, there is no need for the dead to care about what it is suitable for.
But for immortal cultivators, Dumulin is the world-famous location of the earth's spiritual veins. It is also a holy place for cultivation in the eyes of many casual cultivators who don't like fighting, especially the demon cultivators.
The true identity of Dumulin is actually Old Banyan, the elder of the demon clan who has lived for tens of thousands of years. After Old Banyan attained enlightenment, he continued to evolve and expand his true form, gradually forming this huge coastal forest; and he and his friend Songbai
Sheng, Mr. Liu, and Monk Rice worked together to transform this land into a spiritual place.
This huge project took almost 10,000 years, and it was not basically completed until the East China Sea War.
In the battle of the East China Sea, the "Four Friends of Shenmu" also participated in the battle as righteous men. During the fierce battle, Mr. Liu was killed by the secret method of the magic sect and his soul was scattered; Monk Rice died of serious injuries and his body was dismembered and reincarnated; Old Banyan was seriously injured and thousands of people were recuperating in seclusion.
Year. The Four Friends of the Sacred Tree, who were famous among the demon clan in the past, have almost withered away.
Later, Lao Rongweng came back from his injury, and his cultivation progressed again. He entered the sixth level of Huandan, which few people among the demon clan have reached. He also founded the Tongtian Sect decades ago and proclaimed himself the founder. His close friend Song Baisheng
As the supreme leader, he invited loose cultivators from all over the world to devote themselves to seeking the Tao, and built a famous sect in this single forest.
Xiao Buyi's senior brother Su Lin is also a demon cultivator, and his body is also a tree. He has been cultivating for thousands of years.
Thousands of years of training are nothing to the slow-moving wood clan demon cultivator. Until now, he has not even perfected Gang Qi. But he is rich in experience and has profound skills in divination, even better than Xiao Buyi.
, and he has a long lifespan
For a long time, he can use those spells that consume a lot of life span without any scruples... In terms of subtleties and mysteries, Xiao Buyi, who has obtained the true biography of Buyi's divine form and has introduced new things, naturally surpasses him, but in terms of breadth and accuracy, he is still ahead of Xiao Buyi.
superior.
Wu Jie and Xiao Buyi were close friends from life to death, but their relationship with Su Lin was barely a friendship. If this situation hadn't left him completely confused, he would not have wanted to bother Su Lin at all.
But since he was ready to trouble Su Lin, he simply found Kotomine, who was wandering around the land of Kyushu like a headless fly, and took Kotomine with him to visit him.
Trouble with one thing is also trouble, and trouble with two things is also trouble. Anyway, he has prepared a very good reward, so he can probably afford the favor.
Entering the Dumu Forest, passing through a formation to drive away ordinary people, passing through a formation to drive away ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, and then passing through a formation to block the scene, Wu Jie and Yanfeng saw the mountain gate of the Tongtian Sect.
It was a majestic pine that towered into the clouds. Its branches were as strong and winding as an ink dragon, but every branch and every cluster of pine needles exuded a faint green air, forming a dense green cloud that covered the sky. Live on the top of your head.
Under the green clouds, next to the pine trees, the branches of the old banyan tree gave way to several acres of open space. There is a pool of milky white spring water in the open space, exuding a refreshing aroma. Just smelling it from a distance makes you feel peaceful. , the original irritability was swept away, and the whole person calmed down.
Among the banyan trees and pines, there are many large and small treehouses, all adapted to local conditions and full of natural interest. There are also many half-human, half-animal monster monks active everywhere, full of vitality.
Wu Jie and Yanfeng stood far away in the air. After a moment, a sparrow larger than an ordinary child flew over and chirped in a voice that sounded a bit like a child: "Two Taoist friends?" What's your name? Where do you come from? I don't know what you need to do when I'm sent by Tongtian.
Wu Jie smiled and explained his identity and purpose of visit. The sparrow was immediately shocked and looked him up and down: "Your Excellency, you are the world-famous Zhifei Zhenren? Oh, I am so disrespectful."
It flapped its wings and flew around the two of them, saying the word "disrespectful" over and over again. It was really sincere.
Wu Jie was able to keep his composure, but Yanfeng couldn't help but urge him. Only then did the cat suddenly realize, and while shouting "I'm sorry, I'm sorry", it took the two of them flying along the huge pine tree to Su Lin's residence.
Although Su Lin's cultivation level is not high, he has a skill, so he serves as a protector in the Tongtian Sect, and his residence is arranged near the two great demons in the Ning Yuan realm to properly protect this rare talent. When Wu Jie and Yan Feng came to visit, He was completing his daily practice and painting in his yard.
"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Su to have such a hobby." Wu Jie's eyes were very sharp, and he saw the painting he had not put away at a glance. He saw that he was an expert at using brushes, and the descriptions were meticulous and lifelike. He could be regarded as a famous painter in the world. He couldn't bear it. Zhu praised, "You are indeed an elegant person."
"It's just a skill that I gradually developed as I got older." Su Lin smiled, skipped the topic, and asked the two of them the reason for their visit.
After asking about the reason, he did some calculations, frowned and said: "I can try my best to calculate the matter of Fellow Daoist Yan. Although it has to pay some price, I won't have no clue; but Fellow Daoist Wu, your situation It's very special. The calculation method is completely ineffective on you. Forgive me for my low ability, I really can't help you."
"Can't you think of something?"
Su Lin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If the matter is more detailed, I can also use my experience of traveling in the world for many years, combined with divination on some other matters, to help you figure it out. But the information you gave is too rough, and I just feel uneasy. ...How do you ask me to calculate it?”
Wu Jie let out a long sigh and had no choice but to let him help Yanfeng figure it out first.
"Su said before, I don't like to involve people in cause and effect, so I have to pay for divination. You give me a favor and I help you divination, that's it. Other things have nothing to do with me." Before the divination, Su Linsu Rong said, "This is my rule. If you two are not willing, we will not do divination. I will help you with your planning, but there is no need for compensation."
Wu Jie shook his head with a smile, took out a palm-sized leaf like green jade and handed it to him.
"How about using this as reward?"
When this leaf was taken out, a strong vitality suddenly emanated from the leaf. Not only did the three of them look radiant, but even the vegetation in the yard became full of vitality. Some of the plants nearby had already been dried and made into furniture. The wood was full of life again, and several buds sprouted from the flat table, as if it had come back to life.
Su Lin stared at the leaf dumbfounded. He was stunned for a long time, swallowed hard, but refused to reach out to pick it up.
"This... is too valuable and I can't accept it."
"It's just a leaf."
"This is not an ordinary leaf. It is a leaf picked from an ancient sacred tree that has grown for more than 100,000 years." Su Lin cried out, "and it was only picked for a short time... Fellow Daoist Wu, where did you get it from?" What method is used to ensure its freshness?"
Wu Jie smiled but didn't answer, looking very mysterious.
This leaf actually comes from the Heavenly Book world. Over the years, Jasmine has collected several kinds of spiritual herbs that are "barely enough to be seen" in this world. In order to cultivate them, she cut a few sections from the ends of the branches of the original spiritual tree in the Heavenly Book world. Use them as rootstocks and use grafting methods to improve the level of these spiritual grasses. Although most attempts have failed, there are several lush trees in the world of the Book of Heaven.
These big trees can be regarded as the descendants of spiritual trees. Although they are far inferior to spiritual trees, from the perspective of the Kyushu world, they are ancient sacred trees that are enough to become myths. Wu Jie gave them to Master Yuxuan before. The gift given to Su Lin was the sap extracted from the branch of the youngest tree; and the gift given to Su Lin this time came from the oldest tree that Jasmine had used many methods to cultivate. .
Wu Jie once asked Jasmine how old these big trees can be according to human calculations. Jasmine replied, "They should all be more than ten thousand years old." Wu Jie was not very familiar with trees, so he picked the most valuable ones in his opinion. First take out a piece of leaves and test it.
Each of these leaves contains strong vitality, especially for Su Lin, a demon cultivator who is also the spirit of vegetation. It is the most suitable reward.
But Wu Jie never expected that Jasmine had some problems with the concept of time.
From the perspective of her who has lived for hundreds of millions of years, there is actually no difference between ten thousand years or one hundred thousand years. In other words, for her who lives with spiritual trees that have also lived for hundreds of millions of years, it is just a small tree. , even if it is equivalent to a hundred thousand years, what is there to care about?
So-so, so-so, so-so, just so-so.
"Jasmine, you are so careless... but you have really caused me a lot of trouble." Looking at the innocent-looking Jasmine, Wu Jie couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only shake his head and sigh.
