Awakening of Rebirth

The season-long autumn wind blows through the mountains and forests, blowing away the heat of the tiger sky, ushering in the early winter.

With more clothes and heavier footsteps, the three of them followed behind the blind elf girl, all the way towards the legendary tree of life.

Before they knew it, they looked up and saw the giant tree standing in the clouds.

The blind girl said that she would be there in three days. In fact, she only reached the foot of the mountain, and there was still a long way to go.

Wubian Cliff is located on the top of a high mountain and among the clouds, with rugged mountain roads on one side and cliffs on the other.

Walk to the foot of the mountain, go up all the way, and when you reach the place surrounded by clouds and mist, there is a stone tablet with no words. If you go up, you will enter the enchantment set by the elf priest. If you are not selected by the priest, no matter how you go, you will eventually return to the exit stone tablet .If you want to use spells to forcefully break through the barrier, you will attract spirit beasts guarding the tree of life, which is extremely dangerous.

In this regard, Jiang Zheng said that he only wanted a helicopter, but apparently neither Changsheng nor the blind girl could understand what she was saying, but considering that she always said something that people could not understand, the two simply had a tacit understanding They ignored her together, and Baozi couldn't hear Jiang Zheng's complaints.

In fact, although the mountain road is difficult, it is better than no road at all.

If the quicksand priest hadn't wanted to see Jiang Zheng, had no blind girl to lead the way, and had only relied on them to find him, where would he stop now?

Was it the phantom formation of the dense forest that never saw the sun, or was it under the arrows of the elf archers of the Yun family?Even if all these are passed, in the end they have to face the Boundless Cliff guarded by the Quicksand Priest himself.

Thinking of this, Chang Sheng felt extremely fortunate.

It's just that along the way, the closer he got to the tree of life, the more Changsheng felt that something was wrong with his physical condition, but seeing that Jiang Zheng, Baozi and the blind girl were all normal, he just regarded it as unacceptable and didn't tell anyone. people.

In the mountain mist, Chang Sheng and the others followed closely behind the blind girl. The higher they went, the colder and damp the air would soak their bones.

In Wodo in November, the weather is suddenly cold. The clothes that Changsheng and Baozi brought with them are very thin here, and a few sets are not enough to keep out the cold.The two of them are not blind, they have already adapted to the environment of the boundless cliff, and they are not like Jiang Zheng, who can't feel the cold or heat. They can only sit in front of the fire in the cave at night, rub their hands and drink some hot soup. I feel alive again.

"Hey, it's so cold up here!" Jiang Zheng sighed indiscriminately.

"Anyway, it's not cold enough for you." Chang Sheng said.

"Who says it's not cold enough for me?" Jiang Zheng brushed her hair dissatisfied, and said, "When I return, I'll be cold, hungry, painful, and hot, alright?"

"That's really great, finally I don't have to see you standing and talking without back pain." Chang Sheng laughed.

"It's easy for me to tell you that you look like this." Jiang Zheng said, putting his hand close to the fire.

She was still the same as before, unable to feel any temperature, but looking up to the outside of the cave, through the beating flames, she seemed to be able to vaguely see the future.

In a blink of an eye, it has been almost a year since I came to this world.

Although it is impossible to go back to the original world, she still wants to live and live well in this world as a human being. Perhaps, now that she has hooked up with the little princess, she still has extra capital, so she can consider the issue of reforming herself.

She was in a good mood, walked outside the cave, looked up, and could faintly see the branches and leaves of the tree of life hanging on the edge of the cliff through the slightly thin clouds.

She stared blankly for a long time, and when she turned around, Chang Sheng had already fallen asleep.

Jiang Zheng couldn't help frowning, Chang Sheng curled up again tonight, his brows were furrowed, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

This is not the first time for Chang Sheng.

Changsheng always swallowed all the pain in his stomach, and insisted on going on the road with a deep knife wound. In her opinion, this uncomfortable feeling was not worth mentioning.

Thinking about it, only in the dead of night when people are falling asleep, will her performance betray her strength during the day.

Jiang Zheng didn't ask, because she knew Chang Sheng too well. Not only would it be useless to ask, but it would also make Chang Sheng blame himself for causing everyone to worry.

This child, I really can't do anything with her...

***

Finally climbed to the top of the mountain, in the clouds, with ice and snow under your feet.

I saw a towering tree not far away, looking up, the crown of the tree is like a giant umbrella covering the sky, protecting the land under the tree, and there seems to be green aura flowing around, shadowy and green, like a fairyland, similar to this The ice and snow around the top of the mountain does not seem like a world at all, but it is so harmoniously integrated with it.

The three of them followed behind the blind girl, unable to stop feeling emotional.

"In such a harsh environment, such a big tree can grow!" Jiang Zheng said in surprise.

"Is this place higher than the Tower of Clouds?" Baozi asked.

Changsheng replied: "Although I have been to the top of the Cloud Tower, I really can't tell which side is higher. But the tree of life is not only protected by enchantments and spirit beasts, but also grows on such a high cliff, no wonder there are so many People come here admiringly, but they all return disappointed.”

"I don't know anything else, all I know is that the last time I went to the Cloud Tower, the Grand Priest teleported us up there, but this time when I came to the Tree of Life, there was no High Priest who teleported us up there." .” Jiang Zheng looked dissatisfied.

Chang Sheng glanced at her hastily, and said, "You are not afraid of being heard by the priest!"

Jiang Zheng immediately raised his eyes and looked around, pretending to look at the scenery.

It's okay not to be reminded, but to be reminded suddenly like this, let alone it really made her a little scared.

The blind girl smiled and said nothing, just leading the way.

Every time you get closer to the tree of life, the surrounding scenery will change a little bit.

Walking from the cold snow to the warm woods, in just ten minutes, it makes people feel as if they have walked from the severe winter to the early summer.

What is even more astonishing is that the tree of life is formed by the symbiosis of seven big trees.

They are rooted in the same piece of land and distributed in a very irregular way. The tree in the center is also the largest one. Every branch of it is thicker than many hundred-year-old trees. The regenerated branches extend in all directions, intertwined with the branches of the other six surrounding trees, grow with each other, and finally merge into one, covering the sky and the sun.

There are insects and birds singing all around, and the business is full of life.

All the warmth comes from the green aura emanating from the tree of life, which seems to melt into the smoke and flow slowly under the shade of the tree.

Two of the big trees are very close to each other. I don't know if it was caused by mana. Some branches are intertwined with each other, and some branches are intertwined. Like a curtain hanging down, blocking the line of sight.

The three people who visited for the first time were all amazed that there are so many things in the world, and there are no surprises.

Walking to the back of the curtain, I saw a courtyard surrounded by wooden fences. At first glance, it looked very ordinary, but the small courtyard stood here, with the fairy spirit of this "Taoyuan Wonderland", people couldn't help but look at the courtyard. The master raised a trace of respect.

The blind girl stepped forward, lightly knocked on the courtyard door, and said, "Priest Quicksand, I have brought the person you want to see."

"Thanks for your hard work." A deep voice came from the house, with a calm tone, neither happy nor sad.

The owner of the courtyard opened the door and came out, wearing a long dress, mainly plain white, decorated with a bit of green, silver hair braided, only a few broken hair scattered on the shoulders from the temples, his appearance is not perfect She is gorgeous, but has an almost refined temperament, even if she just smiles lightly, people can't move their eyes away.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed that this woman, who looked only in her twenties, was actually the Quicksand Priest who had been guarding the entire Wodo for more than 2000 years, an immortal legend known to everyone in the elves.

The three people except the blind girl were all stunned at this moment.

The elf priest's eyes swept over the three of them one by one, and finally settled on Jiang Zheng.

Jiang Zheng looked at him in confusion.

Originally, I heard a lot of legends along the way, and thought that this elf priest must have a lot of airs, at least he never looked at people directly, and he had an aura that no strangers should enter.But when I looked at it now, I found that the facts were completely different from my imagination.

The elf priest's gaze was very gentle. After meeting her eyes for a few seconds, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, squinted at her and smiled, and said, "It's been a long journey, come in and sit down, and try the flower brew I made. .”

The three people who were invited all looked confused: "Huh?"

***

The quicksand priest in the mouth of the elves was originally from the Qianye family, named Qianye quicksand, who was the ninth spiritual girl of the Qianye family, and was later selected as the successor by the previous priest. It has been more than 2000 years since he took over.

In the hut, four people gathered around the wooden table, tasting flower wine. Jiang Zheng sat beside him, holding half of his face with his right hand weakly, with an expression of lovelessness after being abandoned by the world.

"I don't have much to do on weekdays. Xi taught me how to make flower brew." Qianye Liusha said, looking at the blind girl with a smile, and asked, "How is it? I haven't seen you for a few months. Have I made any progress? "

"Yeah." The blind girl nodded.

"It's delicious." Chang Sheng boasted, while Bao Zi nodded cooperatively.

"I feel like I'm about to graduate." Qianye Liusha said, looked at Jiang Zheng, who was full of melancholy, and said with a smile, "I was so busy asking for compliments that I forgot my business."

Hearing the business, Jiang Zheng's eyes lit up.

Qianye Liusha asked: "What are you here for?"

"You don't even know?" Jiang Zheng felt inconceivable for a moment, Qianye Liusha knew that she and Changsheng would come here a few months ago, how could she not know their purpose of coming here?

"I don't know all about it." Qianye Liusha smiled lightly and said, "Could it be that the purpose of your coming here is to resurrect the dead?"

Jiang Zheng couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly looked at Chang Sheng after recovering.

"Yes, just say it."

Changsheng raised his eyes and said, "Priest Quicksand, the demons have been changing all these years. They want to use the power of the tree of life to revive the demon gods. The elves have to guard against this!"

"Well, what else?" Qianye Liusha looked out the window, her tone was casual, as if she wasn't listening seriously.

Chang Sheng couldn't help frowning: "This is not a joke, the minions of the demons have reached out to Ainota, and my elder brother Lurek has become a puppet manipulated/controlled by the demons at will. There are two more demons, they have the ability to mix into Ainota, and it will be a matter of time before they enter Vodo!"

"I know."

"You know?" Jiang Zheng asked back.

"I know."

"That doesn't make people..."

Qianye Liusha interrupted Chang Sheng's words, and said: "It's useless, it's just futile."

"The demons have planned this for a long time, how could it be in vain!" Chang Sheng clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Priest Quicksand, you must not underestimate the enemy. If you don't take action to stop it now, within three years, the demon god will be resurrected." !"

"I mean, no matter what the elves do now, it's futile." Qianye Liusha responded with such a heavy tone as if nothing had happened, then raised her eyes to stare at Jiang Zheng for a few seconds, and said with a smile: "Unless, tell me your secret. "

"I..." Jiang Zheng's eyes were full of surprise, and he subconsciously asked, "My secret?"

"Yes, your secret."
