mountain ghost

Chapter 41 The old tree sprouts
Lu Chen jumped off the cliff with one leap, and the billowing spiritual energy stirred up wind and waves, supporting his figure up, like a feather, blowing down with the wind.

Although it is still not possible to achieve the shocking scene of a god descending from the earth as imagined, at least it is considered chic, and it will not insult the identity of a "god".

His figure was like a feather, and he descended lightly, landing firmly on a rock at the bottom of the valley.

After falling down, I found that this valley seemed a little unusual, full of aura, but there were no weeds and trees, and it was surrounded by bare rocks. Only the dead tree, growing in the middle of the valley, seemed to be blessed by nature.

But for some unknown reason, the tree was dead and lifeless, and it was impossible to tell what kind of tree it was.

The crane perched on the branch, looking towards this side with fearful eyes, while the old man under the tree stood with a smile on his face, and when he saw Lu Chenfei get down, he bowed again, which was very polite.

"I've heard that there are gods in Taihang Mountain, but unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to see them before. It's a great honor to meet you today. Old man Dan Yunzi is a Qi Refiner who practiced in Fangshan, and he has seen Fujun!"

As the old man said, he cupped his hands, and he had declared himself a family member.

Fangshan?

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded.

In the Shanhe Zhi left by Li Kaiyang, it is recorded that Fangshan is strictly speaking a branch of the Taihang Mountains, but it is thousands of miles away from here. It was called North Taihang in ancient times. There are many houses, like the houses bestowed by heaven and earth, so it is called Fangshan, and it is a blessed place.

This Dan Yunzi, who claims to be a qi refiner, seems to be an inherited Taoist orthodoxy.

It's just that I don't know if he is a mountain loose immortal practicing alone, or what sect he belongs to?
Lu Chen knew too little about practitioners in this world, and he didn't know if there were any famous holy places on Fangshan.

But one thing is for sure.

This person's cultivation base is definitely not low, and it is impossible for ordinary practitioners to directly see through his identity.

"So it's fellow Taoist Dan Yunzi."

Lu Chen nodded calmly, as a return of greeting.

It's not that he is rebellious.

But as a god, with his personality here, even a practitioner in the human world would generally not be able to bear his worship, and saluting rashly may cause unnecessary troubles instead.

"The young master of the Lin family stumbled and fell off the cliff just now, and I would like to thank my fellow daoist for helping me."

As he said that, he glanced at the crane on the tree again, and smiled at it, but the feathers of the crane trembled in fright, and it flew up into the air with a cry.

"This bastard has practiced with me since he was a child, and he hasn't seen much in the world. When he first saw the majesty of the palace lord in front of him, he was unavoidably frightened and out of courtesy. Please don't be offended by the palace lord."

Dan Yunzi smiled and said, although he was scolding, it is not difficult to see that he should have a lot of affection for this crane.

The spirit beasts that have been raised by my side since childhood, listening to Taoist classics, it's no wonder that they are full of fairy spirits.

Lu Chen nodded, but he didn't care about such trivial matters. The two exchanged a few polite words, and they knew each other.

"Fellow Taoist is practicing in Fangshan, and it is thousands of miles away from here. I don't know why?"

Lu Chen asked.

It would be presumptuous for ordinary people to ask such a question, but since Lu Chen is the dignitary of the mansion, in a sense, the entire Taihang Mountain is his domain, just like his family, so it is a matter of course to ask this question .

Dan Yunzi didn't feel anything wrong either, and replied: "An old friend of mine passed away in the mountains, and I'm here to see him off."

old friend?

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked around, the valley didn't seem to be inhabited, not even any animals, this so-called friend of Dan Yunzi...

Thinking of this, Lu Chen looked at the only dead tree in the valley.

This tree looks very strong, but it is different from the pine and cypress in the mountains. The trunk is slightly low, and the branches are intertwined. It seems to be quite old. There are no traces of pests and drought on the tree, just some branches. Peeling out the hollow, kind of like dying of old age.

"The old friend that fellow Taoist is talking about, could it be this dead tree?"

Lu Chen asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Dan Yunzi nodded, and said with a bit of sentimentality: "In the past, when I was practicing Taoism, I was assassinated by someone, fell down this valley, and almost died. It was this old camellia tree that was nourished by rain and dew. This saved my life. Since then, I have regarded it as a friend and often come to visit. Three days ago, he bid farewell to me in a dream, and I only knew that it had passed away..."

So this is a camellia tree?

Camellia is a low, small shrub plant, and it is rare to grow to such a large size. This camellia tree has a history of hundreds of years, to say the least.

Being able to communicate with people, entering the soul and entrusting dreams, should be the essence.

But even if it is such a ghost, even if it is not killed by disasters, it will still be unable to escape birth, old age, sickness and death.

For a moment, Lu Chen felt a little bit of sympathy in his heart. Although he has stolen the throne of the palace lord now, has the body of a spiritual fetus, and at least has a lifespan of hundreds or thousands of years, the god is not immortal. Didn't the former Taihang Mansion Lord dissipate?

If you don't want to end up like this one day, you can only gain a foothold in this world if you practice harder and become stronger.

"I didn't expect that fellow daoist and this camellia tree would have such a relationship. It's a pity that fate has a fixed destiny. The camellia tree has passed away, so you don't need to be too sad."

Lu Chen casually comforted him.

Unexpectedly, Dan Yunzi shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "The old man is not sad. Although the camellia tree has died, it has been reborn in another way..."

He said, pointing to the roots of the tree not far away.

Hearing this, Lu Chen looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a tender green sprout growing hard on the dead tree root.

"This is……"

"Its lifespan is exhausted, so it should die. However, over the years, the old man has often come here to read the classics for it, which can be regarded as some understanding. Today, the old tree sprouts new sprouts, or it is a chance for an old friend. I should be happy for it. right."

Hearing what Dan Yunzi said, Lu Chen looked intently and found that there was a powerful force of vitality in the bud.

Although it has only just germinated and grown, it gives people a lush and lush feeling, and the aura is compelling. If it grows up, it may become a treasure of heaven and earth again!
"An old tree sprouts new buds, and a dead tree is in spring. It's really a miracle of good fortune."

Lu Chen couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Dan Yunzi also nodded, but his eyes immediately showed a bit of worry: "The camellia is reborn, and the Taoist rhyme sprouts. In the eyes of the creatures in the mountain, this is a treasure of heaven and earth. I'm afraid it will be difficult to grow. Although I have the intention to protect, but after all, the practice site is too far away, I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of it, and the road is far away, and the new buds are just growing, so it is not suitable for transplanting too far away..."

While saying this, he looked at Lu Chen.

At that moment, Lu Chen suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that he wants me to be a nanny again?

really.

Then I heard Dan Yunzi say: "Your Majesty is the ruler of the Taihang, and all the creatures in this mountain are like your children. I have a merciless request..."
