Spirit rhinoceros

Chapter 34

"what!"

Not to mention Xia Houfeng, even Mo Long and Bai Xi were taken aback.

The one who was most surprised was Mo Ji: "Master, you... how do you know?"

Dongli Chang said: "Although you didn't mention a word, but you and I have been together for more than ten years, there are always clues leaking out. Don't forget that I am a five-legged turtle."

"You didn't tell them?" Moji asked.

Dong Lichang shook his head and said, "Everyone has things they don't want to talk about, and I'm not a talkative person." Mo Long thought for a while, "Is it related to the fire in Tianjing Villa 300 years ago?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Moji escaped from Tianjing Mountain Villa at that time, and her roots were damaged, so she often needs to inhale to assist her practice." Dong Lichang looked at Moji, "Right? "

Mo Ji nodded slowly.

Unexpectedly, Mo Ji would still inhale. When Bai Xi heard about this for the first time, she was taken aback, and moved a few steps without making a trace, trying to stay away from her as much as possible.

"What's going on?" Xia Houfeng asked anxiously, "You escaped from Tianjing Villa? Was someone trying to kill you? Is it Xuan Hurricane?"

Dong Li said: "Actually, I also want to know, how did you escape from that fire?"

There were tears in Mo Ji's eyes, she took several deep breaths to calm herself down, and then said softly: "It's my sister, she gave me the last of her true energy and sent me out."

"Your sister? You still have a sister?" Xia Houfeng asked in surprise. He had never heard Mo Ji mention his family, but he himself often talked about his parents kissing his brothers and sisters.

"My elder sister is an osmanthus tree in the mustard garden. Although she is commensurate with my sisters, she is actually much older than me. The Queen Mother of the West has not yet climbed on the Yaochi, she is a small osmanthus tree in the Kunlun Mountains. Lannan moved her to Tianjing Villa."

Dongli sighed and said: "I have heard that the most famous osmanthus tree in the mustard garden is this osmanthus tree. It is said that it was transplanted from the Queen Mother of the West's garden. It has a subtle fragrance that can be heard several miles away. Take its flowers, or use them as medicine, vegetables, or wine, all of which are excellent products. Counting, she has cultivated for tens of thousands of years. The fire, even her Didn't escape either?"

Mo Ji shook her head with tears in her eyes: "With my elder sister's cultivation level, all the flames can't harm her at all, but once the fire ignites, she can't stop it no matter what she does."

"Could it be Tianhuo?!" Director Dongli realized something and was terrified.

"I don't know." The scene of the withered and charred grass and trees in the flames was as clear as yesterday in Mo Ji's mind, and her body curled up involuntarily, ""My sister's flowers are all withered, and the leaves are curled up.The flames were black and then red, I climbed on my sister, it hurt so much, half of my body was scorched..."

Xia Houfeng couldn't bear it, and stretched out his arms to hug her.Unknowingly, the sunlight seemed to be much cooler, and the whole peach blossom grove felt a chill for no reason, and Bai Xi, who was the weakest in cultivation, shuddered.

"In addition to the fire on the ground, there is also fire on the ground. If it weren't for my sister protecting my roots, I would definitely not be able to survive. The fire is burning more and more intensely, and there are crackling sounds all around." Mo Ji took a deep breath and continued, " My sister asked me to endure some pain and break it from the root. She used up all her true energy, moved the root, wrapped half of my body densely, and pushed it into the river. There was also a fire in the river, and the root that my sister wrapped me was burned. Burnt black, peeling off layer by layer, I was rushed to the gate. The gate originally had an enchantment, and I couldn't get out. I knew that both sides were dead, so I slammed into it. It was much weaker than usual, and I was knocked out. I escaped with my life. But my sister and other sisters in the garden..."

Suddenly there was a gust of wind, which made the leaves on the trees rustle, as if weeping strangely. Mo Long sensed something was wrong, looked around vigilantly, but found no other figures.

"Your sister's cultivation is so deep that she can help you escape, why didn't she escape by herself?" Bai Xi was puzzled.

But Dong Lichang understood: "She has been in the mustard garden for many years, and the roots have already been planted hundreds of miles underground. How can she walk?"

Xia Houfeng asked, "Apart from you, did anyone else escape?"

Mo Ji shook her head: "I don't know, I passed out after I knocked out of the barrier, and was washed along the river to a shoal. Its essence is slowly recovering."

Bai Xi's gaze suddenly turned strange, he hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but said: "This move is against the law of heaven, don't you know, miss?"

Mo Ji raised her head slowly, her eyes were ruthless: "How could I not know, but tell me, what is the way of heaven?! My root veins are damaged, I have no blood, and I can't live at all. Could it be that I should resign myself to my fate and wait for death? My sister practiced for tens of thousands of years without competing with the world, but was burned to death in the end, is this the way of heaven?!"

In the peach blossom forest, the wind suddenly turned sharply, and the leaves on the trees were blown off... Everyone was surprised, they looked around, but they still didn't notice anything.Bai Xi was the least courageous, dodging behind a tree, and asked anxiously: "Could it be that Nie Ji chased him in? Or is there a strange beast hidden in this forest?"

Mo Long winked at Xia Houfeng: "Xiaofeng."

Xia Houfeng understood, let go of Mo Ji, and took a step back. In the blink of an eye, he took off the bronze bow on his back, drew the bow and set up an arrow, and aimed at the wind that was getting faster and faster... The wind swept countless fallen leaves on it. Inside, it looks verdant, like a green dragon shuttling through the forest.

Bai Xi was originally hiding behind the tree, holding the tree with both hands, suddenly seemed to be frightened by something, jumped a few feet away, and pointed at the tree in panic: "It, it... it is talking!"

Everyone didn't hear any sound and looked at Bai Xi suspiciously.Bai Xi nodded furiously: "Really, really, I didn't lie to you, it was really talking just now!"

Mo Long tentatively pressed his hand against the tree, and sure enough, a voice came into his head, like struggling, like moaning, the sound was intermittent, stumbling.The green wind in the forest rushes up and down with this tone, fluctuating up and down, as if expressing the speaker's eager and anxious state of mind.

Every tree in the forest is shaking its branches and leaves crazily, and the range is so large that people feel that the whole tree will rise from the ground in the next moment, and it is not only frightening.Mo Long instinctively protected Dongli Chang; Xia Houfeng stretched out his arms to block Mo Ji tightly; Bai Xi saw that no one was hurting, so she clenched her fists and stood next to Mo Ji.

The wind became more and more violent, and almost all the fallen leaves were rolled up, divided into several strands, whistling crazily around them, tumbling and intertwining...

"Run!" Bai Xi shouted to everyone with all her strength, "This forest has turned into a spirit!"

It was easy to say, the wind was fierce, and the fallen leaves were as sharp as blades. As soon as he took a step, his robe was cut several times by the flying leaves.

The whole forest has become fine, which has never been seen before. Mo Long instinctively stretched her hand behind her back to get the silver pin, and only after feeling empty did she remember that she had given the silver pin to Lingxi.Dongli Chief could feel his nervousness, and said broadly: "Don't be too nervous, from the moment it looks like it doesn't mean any harm."

Mo Ji, who is a grass and trees, can perceive the peach blossom forest better than them. She gently pushed Xia Houfeng's arm away: "He has no malicious intentions, he is just sad...very sad."

"Sad?" Xia Houfeng was inexplicable and unimaginable, "Is it sad to put on such a big battle?"

At this moment, the fallen leaves blown up by the wind tangled together and spun sharply, with rays of light shining inside. After a while, the wind suddenly stopped, and the leaves fell one after another. A middle-aged scholar with delicate features and pale complexion appeared in front of them.

The scholar looked directly at Mo Ji, his tone trembling: "You just said that your sister is an osmanthus tree on Kunlun Mountain?"

Moji nodded.

"The mustard garden was on fire, she died?" He continued to ask.

Mo Ji had no choice but to nod again: "Do you recognize her?"

"On Kunlun Mountain, she and I broke out of the ground together, sucked the wind and drank the dew together, and bathed in the essence of the sun and the moon together." The scholar faltered, his expression full of pain, "Lan Nan took her away. She is full of branches and leaves, I think of her canopy, but I can't think of her already..."

Unexpectedly, he also came from Kunlun Mountain, and he was so sad with his sister's childhood sweetheart.Mo Ji wanted to speak out to persuade her, but she didn't know what to say, and looking at him again, her eyes were full of tears.

"Since you are in Kunlun Mountain, why did you come here?" Mo Long couldn't help asking, "This peach blossom forest is all you..."

"When the empress ascended to heaven, the three blue birds were ordered to stay in the mortal world. The empress promised them to take away a piece of grass or a tree in Kunlun. Lannan liked the fragrance of osmanthus flowers and took her away; tree; Yu Que chose me for some reason, and planted me here." It sounded like the scholar was also very confused, "He ordered me to just spread out the branches and leaves, and wait for the peach blossoms to bloom and burn their flowers. I will come back. But I have not waited for him."

"Yu Que?"

Mo Long looked at Dongli Chang. As far as he knew, this peach forest had been here for at least thousands of years. According to the scholar, he might have been here for tens of thousands of years.

Dong Lichang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Mo Ji tentatively asked: "It was Yu Que who planted you here? When did it happen?"

"How many times the flowers have bloomed and faded...I don't remember anymore..." The scholar shook his head sadly, "The sun rises and the moon sinks, and autumn ends and winter comes. Every day seems to be the same. To me, there is no difference."

Mo Ji understood what he said. After she had not cultivated a human body, she did not have much memory of the years in her body of grass and trees. Time was like a river flowing quietly, without making a sound.

"How many years has it been since your empress ascended to heaven?" The scholar came to ask them instead.

Mo Ji was stunned, looked at the others, not knowing how to answer.Instead, Bai Xi pinched his fingers and made the calculations, Yin Qin said: "It's about 3000 years ago."

"It's been so long..." The scholar was stunned, his disappointed and disappointed expression was unbearable, "Why didn't Yu Que come? Where is he, do you know?" He looked at Mo Ji.

Mo Ji replied with difficulty: "It is said that he died many years ago. I have never seen him, but I only heard about it from Sister Osmanthus."

Hearing this, the scholar remained motionless, as if his whole body was frozen, and the entire peach blossom forest followed him into a deathly silence.After a long time, he said softly: "In this case, I don't have to wait any longer."

No one answered the phone, and no one knew how to answer it. No words could comfort the lonely waiting for tens of thousands of years.No need to wait for this sentence, everyone didn't understand it for a while.

The scholar looked at Mo Ji and waved gently: "Come here."

Mo Ji didn't understand what she meant, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Xia Houfeng.He was afraid that the scholar would be unfavorable to her, so he shook his head at her, signaling her not to come forward.
