Dao fruit.

"The aura emanating from this mountain seems to be unusual."

After traveling all the way, the chaos in Tao Ying's heart finally calmed down, and she began to pay attention to the surrounding scenery, and tried to experience the artistic conception. Many feelings here are difficult to feel when the soul is locked in the body. .

Zhan Zhen smiled slightly and introduced: "The high mountains in this world are called 'book mountains', which hide a lot of precious experience and knowledge, but are not easy to obtain. When we come to Shilin, the book mountain is a big goal. There are mines, and knowledge can be absorbed from them.”

"Speaking of which, did you two find me waiting in the forest just now?" Chen Jing turned his head to look at the forest behind him, "I don't know what mystery is in this forest?"

Zhancheng replied: "Shilin, Shilin, refers to the flat land and bushes. This forest is vast and almost has no boundaries. The outside world uses it to refer to this strange world."

Chen Jing showed a strange expression: "This is Shilin? When I walked through it before, Chen didn't feel too much strange in it, just like ordinary trees."

Zhanzhen smiled and said: "That's nature. It takes ten years to grow trees, and a hundred years to grow people. Which tree can be formed in Shilin without a history of more than a hundred years or hundreds of years? After settling down, it is dense and dense, and it looks natural and ordinary. The trees are the same."

"I would like to hear the details." Chen Jing heard something in the other party's words.

"Actually, when I first came here, I was also surprised by this forest. After listening to other people's explanations, I realized how powerful it is." Zhanzhen said, pointing to the suspicious frost on the ground, "This frost is suspicious, and it is everywhere. As long as the saplings that can break through the doubt frost, they can be seen to be dignified, and they will not be troubled by doubts."

"Third brother, don't play tricks." Zhan Cheng interrupted suddenly.

"Yes," Zhan Zhen shook his head, and the words in his mouth changed, "I said this. It's not a gimmick. Each of these trees corresponds to a person in Yangjian, and they are a combination of their knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, integrity, and thoughts. .”

"Oh? So, there are also trees corresponding to you and me?" Chen Jing showed an interested expression, as if he was in a good mood.

"There are, but it's not easy to find," Zhan Zhen said.He paused, as if he was organizing his words, and then continued, "Actually, this is the same as what you and I learn. At the beginning, it was just the seeds of reading, and I couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. But I learned something. I have some memory, some knowledge. After realizing it, the seed will germinate.”

"So that's how it is." Chen Jing showed a suddenly enlightened expression, as if he had come to understand, "After reading the book, after accumulating some knowledge, it will be considered as a sprout. This is something that everyone can do, but after that, you have to Only when you have strengthened your heart, learned something from the book, and have the principles of how to behave and do things, can this be regarded as taking root."

"Brother Chen is really smart, he can understand a little bit." Zhanzhen complimented a little, "However, this is just reading and memorizing. If you want to learn, it is definitely not enough. You have to wait for some experience to confirm what you have learned in the book. , In this way, there will be doubts and doubts, and one day you can break through the doubts, and then you can truly become a sapling here, otherwise, it will be difficult to break out of the ground."

"Brother Zhan said that, so I understand." Chen Jing nodded, and his eyes swept across the forest again, "I think, even if you break through the doubt, it will not be easy to grow. What kind of tree can it grow into? , I am afraid it is also related to the state of mind of the corresponding person."

"That's right," Zhan Zhen nodded, "I've heard people say that if you can find the one that corresponds to you, there will be unexpected benefits, but there are so many scholars and trees, how do you find them?"

Chen Jing lowered his head slightly, and then said: "That's true, but the forest is so luxuriant, presumably it doesn't only correspond to the existing people in the world, the trees of those who have passed away should still exist, right?"

"Well," Zhanzhen sighed, "the soul of the person who passed away may return to the dead, but all the learnings of the whole body are kept here, growing the same, and even developing, even some lost and severed souls in the world Doctrine, traces can be found here.”

Then, he said something that surprised Qiu Yan and the passers-by next to him: "There are rumors that the trees corresponding to the sages also stand in the forest. If you can find them and inherit them, it will be completely transformed."

"Sage?" Chen Jing's eyelids twitched, "You say inherit, how to inherit?"

"In every tree of the scholar forest, the knowledge inside is blocked by the bark. When you peel off the bark, you can feel it when you touch it. However, the accumulated knowledge and memory of a single tree are limited, and the trees in the forest are connected by roots. If you break a tree, you will be hit by a torrent of knowledge and wisdom!"

Chen Jing immediately realized the gains and losses: "If you choose only ordinary trees, but you are hit by the torrent of information from a large forest, so that your soul and body almost burst, the loss outweighs the gain."

Zhan Zhen nodded and sighed, "That's right. The bark can block detection, but it's hard to tell how much knowledge is hidden inside just by looking at it, and it's even more impossible to identify the corresponding person!"

The conversation between the two didn't deliberately lower their voices, and the others could hear it clearly. Qiu Yan, who had closed his eyes and sensed the suspicion of frost, had an idea after listening to it——

"If there are really experiences and insights hidden in the tree, if we can sense them one by one, it might be able to promote the growth of the human fire!" Thinking of this, he felt a move in his heart: "There are previous records in Chen Jing's family, and the meaning of the tree should not be great. Stranger, why pretend not to know and ask deliberately?"

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the front, and it could be vaguely heard that it was calling Zhan Zhen's name.

He saw a young man flying over quickly, and from a distance, Chen Jing could recognize the appearance of the person, somewhat similar to the Zhancheng and Zhanzhen brothers.

Zhanzhen took advantage of the situation to introduce: "This is my second brother, Zhanfang. Our three brothers were out looking for fallen leaves. We noticed the movement by the Changhe River. My eldest brother and I went to investigate, and my second brother went to report to Mr. Bei."

"Fallen leaves?" Chen Jing showed a puzzled expression.

Zhan Zhen didn't mean to hide it: "Trees are not easy to touch, but occasionally there will be fallen leaves. As long as you can catch them before they fall to the ground, you can harvest the knowledge from the leaves without touching the suspected frost."

While talking, Zhan Fang had already come to him, he first talked to Zhan Cheng to understand the situation, then he glanced at Qiu Yan in surprise, and finally greeted Chen Jing and others.

After finishing all this, Zhanfang didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Since you want to attach yourself to Mr. Bei, you should wait in the camp for a while. Mr. has not returned yet after going up the mountain."

"Attachment?" Tao Ying frowned.

His expression did not escape Zhanfang's gaze. The second child of the Zhan family has been paying attention to the expressions of several people, and said at the right time: "In the scholar forest, there is no one who protects Wenbiyi, and many things are inconvenient. Many places Difficult to get into."

Hearing what the other party said, Tao Ying couldn't bear it anymore: "We also have people from Wenbiyi here."

"Let's wait for Mr. Bei to get rid of the doubtful frost that brother Qiu has stained." Zhanfang shook his head, not paying attention.

That Zhancheng and Zhanzhen went to investigate, because their hearts were bursting, they were almost stained with suspicious frost, Qiu Yan took the initiative to disperse it, which was considered to be on their behalf, so even though they didn't believe it, they didn't say it out, and Zhanfang just arrived, so they didn't experience it personally, saying Speaking of it, naturally there are not so many worries.

But what he said made Tao Ying's expression change immediately. The young county magistrate had a lot of dissatisfaction with Qiu Yan before, but now hearing others say that, he felt that he and others were being looked down upon, and there was a faint feeling of sharing the same hatred. want to refute.

At this time, a voice came from the side: "There is nothing wrong with Mr. Qiu, don't bother Mr. Bei, but since you are here, you must go and visit."

It was Qiu Yan, who was speechless all the way, who spoke.

The others followed the sound, and the expressions of the three brothers from the Zhan family suddenly changed.

I saw Qiu Yan opened his eyes, his face was as usual when he spoke, but his body was still covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

"Suspicious frost is in the body, but this person seems to have a clear mind?" Zhanfang's thoughts changed sharply. It stands to reason that if he is contaminated by suspicious frost, his mind will be filled with various doubts, which interferes with normal thinking and makes people even have normal expressions and speech. Affected, because they are all soul bodies and affect the mind, so they cannot be disguised, and others can see that something is wrong at a glance.

But he looked at Qiu Yan carefully, only to find that the other person's expression was normal, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be in a clear state of mind.

"From this point of view, this Qiu Yan still has some skills. You should pay attention to it, but he is not as good as Mr. Bei. After all, when Mr. Bei competed with Bai Zhaoyuan, the frost did not touch his body..."

Thinking in his heart, this Zhanfang didn't dare to underestimate Qiu Yan and his party any more. There was a subtle change in attitude. This change was especially obvious to people in the officialdom. Tao Ying caught it immediately and couldn't help but sneer.

Immediately afterwards, several people drifted all the way, and soon arrived at the foot of Shushan.

They flew all the way, and the way was covered with white frost. After arriving here, they finally saw a piece of land that was not covered by frost.Chen Jing and others also followed suit.

It has been flying for a long time, and after landing, it also makes people feel very at ease.

There are several attics not far away. These buildings appear out of place in the forest and at the foot of the mountain.

Qiu Yan also fell to the ground, thanking the passers-by first, and then noticed a few people coming out of the attic. These people were also dressed as scholars, and they were not very old, most of them were in their 30s or [-]s. .

Among them, the figure of a handsome man caught Qiu Yan's attention. When this person was walking, the people next to him stepped aside intentionally or unintentionally.

"Brother Zhan Shi? They are the newcomers you mentioned? Huh? Someone is actually infected with Suspicion Cream?"

The young man in Huafu came over, ignored Qiu Yan and Chen Jing, and talked to Zhanfang instead.He noticed the hoarfrost on Qiu Yan's body, and frowned: "In the world of scholars, doubtful frost is like a plague. If it is accidentally spread, it will cause huge losses and it is difficult to eradicate it. I still have to thank you, young man, don't let it go." Land and stay outside the camp."
