When the morning light first dawned, Tang Lin came out of the forest in a trance, his beautiful slender tail feathers were covered with some dew and mud, but he didn't seem to notice it at all. Be careful to hit a tree.
"Hey! You! I don't know where to look when I'm walking." A complaining murmur came from above Tang Lin's head, mixed with the "rustling" sound of shaking leaves. Tang Lin subconsciously apologized repeatedly. When he looked up, he saw There was a bumpy human face on the tree trunk, which made him spit out a mouthful of fire when he opened his mouth in fright.
"Why do you do this, you monster! It's fine to hit a tree, and you still breathe fire!" The human face on the tree trunk complained in a low voice, and then he shook his body, and the leaves on Tang Lin's head shook violently, and a handful of dew Leaning on Tang Lin's head with a "crash", it turned the small ball of incandescent fire that Tang Lin spewed out into a wisp of green smoke, and by the way, Tang Lin's whole bird was completely doused.
Tang Lin looked at the tree expressionlessly with his wet bird face.
The tree was a little embarrassed, and the face on the trunk sank slightly, as if he was lowering his head to avoid Tang Lin's gaze: "...well, I didn't control my strength well, forgive me, forgive me..." At that time, the branches on his head that were far apart were still trying to bend and touch each other, as if he was learning to align his fingers. However, because the branches were too long, he failed to achieve his wish after several attempts, and rubbed off a few pieces instead. green leaves.
——It happened to land on Tang Lin.
Tang Lin was silent for a moment, flapped the leaves above his head and body with his wings, stepped back a few steps, walked out of the shadow of the tree, flicked his feathers, shook the water off his body, and then carefully sprayed out a ball of fire, Wagging his head and jumping in to wash himself.As a result, while he was washing, the tree behind him murmured again: "Isn't it good to take a bath in front of others?"
"...You shut up." Tang Lin couldn't bear it anymore, probably because he was covered in fire at the moment, and he was indeed very intimidating in the eyes of a tree, that face quietly closed his mouth.But before it closed for a while, the tree opened its mouth again: "Seriously, don't you think it's not good to set fire in front of a tree? Although I believe you won't burn me, I'm still afraid Well, this is the root of a tree! Yes, Ben! Do you know? It is deeply rooted in the blood, and it is difficult to change it for a while..."
Tang Lin extinguished the fire with a flap of his wings.
"The fire is gone now." Tang Lin said coldly.
The tree froze for a moment, hesitated and said, "...Oh."
The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence for a while.
In this silence, Tang Lin's heavy thoughts interrupted by the sudden appearance of the tree returned to Tang Lin. He looked at the tree and looked around, and found that he could no longer tell where he was. at.Tang Lin knew that he could fly directly to the sky to find out the direction, but he was too lazy to flap his wings now. After thinking about it, he simply walked slowly to the side of a tree with no human face, and lay down quietly.
Tang Lin actually wanted to curl himself up, but all he could do was bury his head in his wings; he tried his best to imagine that he was being hugged, but besides his wings, there was only cold air surrounding him.
He misses Xiao Zibai's embrace a little bit, even though that embrace is often colder than the air.
He closed his eyes and buried his head and neck as deep as possible.
Suddenly, Tang Lin heard the rustling of the branches and leaves above his head. "Maybe it's the wind," he thought indifferently, but immediately after, Tang Lin felt that the rustling sound was getting louder and louder, and there were faintly tiny branches and leaves falling on him one after another.Tang Lin raised his wings in doubt, tilted his head and looked out, and then he was horrified to find that the face on the tree next to him appeared on the tree he was leaning against!
Tang Lin: =口=! ! !
"What are you going to do?" Tang Lin jumped three feet away vigilantly, and turned around to look after reaching a treeless open space, but saw that familiar face turning around on the trunk, and the tree was full of people. The branches and leaves straightened up with a "crash": "I just feel that you are not happy, and I want to comfort you..." The face seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then whispered: "But my hands are too short, I can touch them no matter what. Not to you."
Tang Lin glanced at the broken branches and leaves on the ground, and the vigilance in his eyes faded a little, but he still asked, "Who are you?"
"What do you want to ask is what am I?" The face said indifferently, rattling the leaves above his head: "I used to be a tree, but now I am just a wood spirit. I'm dead, so I can only live on another tree." Then, that face suddenly disappeared from the trunk in front of Tang Lin, and appeared on another tree, shaking the branches and leaves at Tang Lin: " Look, like this."
"Your body... is dead?" Tang Lin said in surprise, but soon he realized, and hurriedly added: "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked..."
"It's okay, it's been many years anyway." The wood spirit happily shook the tree trunk, frowned and thought for a while, and finally the branch shook and said: "It's been too long, I can't remember exactly what happened. I just remember that there was a lot of fire that day, blood and screams everywhere..."
He was quiet for a moment before continuing, "I just remember that my parents died that day."
Tang Lin deeply regretted why he had brought up such a topic. He looked up at the wood spirit's face, intending to touch the tree trunk, but he wondered whether touching the tree trunk would be useful.While he was hesitating, Mu Ling raised his face and said with a smile: "It was Uncle Huang who rescued me. I am very grateful to him. No matter what, living is always better than dying, and I live for a day. I can still remember my parents for a day, so that everyone will not forget them."
"Uncle Huang will bring me to pay homage to them every once in a while. I still miss my parents, but I am not so sad anymore."
He clapped several branches and leaves together, as if clapping his hands, and said in relief: "Look, everything will pass, and the things that made me so sad at the beginning are still passed, so you Don't be sad, eh?"
Tang Lin never expected that the wood spirit would come to such a turning point in the end. Most of the cloud that had been hanging over his heart before was dispelled. A little smile appeared in his eyes, and he flapped his wings and flew to the tree where the wood spirit was. On the ground, he picked a branch and stood there, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."
The breeze gently blows the branches and leaves of the tree, making small and broken sounds, the light morning light slanted in through the branches and leaves, and shines on Tang Lin's feathers, for a moment it is radiant and gorgeous square things.
Mu Ling tried hard to raise his face to look at Tang Lin, but he couldn't lift it to a suitable position. If he wanted him to change to another tree, he was reluctant. After hesitating for a while, he finally shook his head. The branch Tang Lin was standing on asked Tang Lin curiously: "Why were you so sad just now? Did Xuan Ning bully you?"
"No, no, it's none of my teacher's business." Tang Lin said hastily, he imagined how Kong Liu would look when he knew Xuan Ning had been forcibly blamed, and couldn't help shivering slightly, explaining to Mu Ling: " I'm sad because of another person."
"Human?" The wood spirit widened his eyes curiously, and Tang Lin realized his slip of the tongue: In the Beast Control Sect, in the world where the wood spirit is, all creatures are not human.He was stunned for a moment, but in the end he didn't change his words, but nodded and said, "Yes, it's a person."
Although Mu Ling was curious, he endured and did not continue to ask, but Tang Lin couldn't help but continued: "I have met him since the first day I came to this world."
Then he told the whole story little by little.
He talked about his first meeting with Xiao Zibai, the ordinary and happy life in those few years, the sudden separation, meeting again and parting again... He talked a lot, and even talked about some things he saw when he was a reader. Tang Lin suddenly fell silent, and asked Mu Ling abruptly, "Do you believe in prophecy?"
"Prophecy?" The wood spirit repeated strangely, his expression looked very strange, with a little bit of rare resentment and disgust.
"Big Bird, do you know that many, many years ago, the human race and the monster race had a fight." Mu Ling said, although he didn't have a real tongue and mouth, but for some reason, Tang Lin always felt that the voice of the wood spirit at this moment With a strange dry voice: "Do you know why they are fighting?"
"—Because, a bastard made such a prophecy."
Mu Ling told Tang Lin that many, many years ago, Yaozu once had a powerful fortune-teller, who controlled the power of time and space, and could peek into the past and future.That fortune teller can predict every flood, every drought, and even the death of a big monster and the birth of a new bloodline. Every monster race respects and trusts that fortune teller, and they believe in the fortune teller made by that fortune teller. Every prophecy, even if he divination to the monsters that the sun will fall tomorrow, the monsters will not doubt it, but will worry about "what to do when the sun falls", no one thinks his divination There will be a possibility of failure.
Yes, that is such a powerful and famous fortune teller.
Then this powerful and famous fortune teller suddenly made a prophecy concerning the fate of the whole family on an ordinary day.
"The monster race will be destroyed, and the human race will be prosperous." He murmured, and immediately presented this prophecy to the then king of the monster race.
At that time, the emperor of the Yaozu was a jairus, bloodthirsty and aggressive, very rejoicing, with an arrogance that looked down on the world in his bones.After obtaining such a prophecy, he issued an order without hesitation, preparing to wipe out the entire human race.Coincidentally, the human race also got a somewhat similar prophecy, with only four simple words: "The monster race kills."
The war unfolded at an unprecedented speed. A large number of demon and human races mixed together were killed. Three thousand worlds were divided into two groups as their own. All foreign races who crossed the border were killed. This stalemate lasted for about After more than ten years, it finally broke out like a flood.
Mu Ling said that in his memory, the sky during that time was blood-colored, and no matter where he went, he could see broken corpses from time to time.The number of human races and monster races is getting smaller and smaller, and even a large part of the last three thousand worlds is completely vacant, because neither humans nor demons have enough troops to control them: but even so, the two races are still red-eyed They fought in the same way, and even completely forgot what the original intention of this war was.
The great demon of the demon clan is dead, the great power of the human race is dead, and even the demon emperor Yazi who started this war is dead, but the fortune-teller who made that prophecy is still alive, has been alive, and is telling those monsters every day. The tribes predicted the victory of this war, and everyone believed in continuing to fight to the death with the Terrans.
Until one day, the fortune teller suddenly disappeared.
Before disappearing, he left one last prophecy.
"The monster race should be destroyed."
"You ask me if I believe in the prophecy? Do you think I should believe it?" Mu Ling asked Tang Lin back. Tang Lin was silent for a moment, stretched out his wings and gently rested on the tree trunk. After thinking for a while, he said, "After all, the prophecy is Made by people."
The branches and leaves of the big tree drooped instantly, and the wood spirit sighed softly: "...and I really believed it at that time."
He was in a daze for a while, and finally he seemed to remember something. He pulled himself together and asked Tang Lin, "So, what's the next part of your story? Why are you so sad?"
"Ah..." Tang Lin was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered the previous topic, and said vaguely to Mu Ling, "You know, he and I are human, and the other is a demon..."
Mu Ling sized up his face for a moment, then concluded: "I see, you must like him."
"No! I don't like him, I just... just treat him as my nephew!" Tang Lin said decisively, but his claws unconsciously grabbed the branches under his feet.
"Take him as a nephew? But according to what you said, you should be about the same age as him? You're even a little younger than him?" Mu Ling continued to ask with a crooked face. Tang Lin didn't know how to answer for a moment, he hesitated After a while, Mu Ling changed the subject: "Hey, whether you like him or not, you should regard him as a very important person."
"Yes." Tang Lin heaved a sigh of relief, he lowered his head, and the toes of his left paw unconsciously tapped on the tree trunk: "So I don't want him to know the truth, I don't want to lose him..."
"I always feel that in your heart, you subconsciously feel that you will lose him if you say it." Mu Ling said lightly, shaking a branch and leaf, and pointed out to Tang Lin: "You really treat him Not enough trust."
"..." Tang Lin was speechless for a moment, he was silent for a moment, and reluctantly said: "I just don't want to take risks."
Although he said so, there was a small voice accusing Tang Lin in his heart: "You just don't trust him enough, you really think that if you tell the truth, you will lose him, so you have always chosen to hide it .
But can you hide it for a lifetime if you hide it for a while?He will know the truth one day, but what should you do then?Do you regret and atone for him until the end of the matter?Is it too late? "
Tang Lin retorted weakly in his heart: "No, I believe Xiao Zibai won't alienate me because of this, I'm just worried that it will expose the secrets of the monster clan of the Royal Beast Sect..."
"Come on, don't make excuses for yourself anymore! It's not that you don't worry about the exposure of Yushouzong, but about Xiao Zibai, you are more worried about yourself! At first you thought it was just a simple matter. A lie, but as time goes by, the influence of this lie is getting bigger and bigger. You have already discovered it, but you still haven’t come forward. Isn’t it fun to tease Xiao Zibai? Watching him fall apart because he doesn’t know anything Is it fun to make a fool of yourself in front of you?"
Tang Lin's face was hot for a moment, and he murmured: "No...I don't think so..."
"If you plan to hide it from him for the rest of your life, then keep hiding it, but if you are still going to tell him the truth, then tell him quickly! It's always better to tell him sooner than later. The longer you delay, things will only be like It's snowballing and it's getting worse."
To Tang Lin's shame, in his mind, the idea of "hiding him for the rest of his life" had the upper hand for a few seconds, but soon he made up his mind to put away the thought that made him feel guilty and ashamed. Pressed hard in the deepest dark corner of my heart.
"...I have to tell him anyway." Tang Lin said to himself, and unconsciously tapped the branch with his toes over and over again, as if this could relieve the pressure he felt.He shook his head, and said to Mu Ling in disbelief: "You are right, I really don't trust him enough. I will tell him everything, I... I believe he will not abandon me because of this."
"That's right." Mu Ling said with satisfaction, he patted the branches and leaves, and "slapped" a translucent green bubble: "Come and play together?"
Tang Lin hesitated for a while, but still didn't refuse, so Tang Lin played bubbles with Mu Ling for a long time.
Playing around, he discovered that these bubbles were all made of wood spiritual power, so after carefully deconstructing a few, he made red bubbles, blue bubbles, and golden bubbles by analogy... Mu Ling couldn't let go of those bubbles, he begged Tang Lin to help him stabilize the bubbles, and then carefully let those bubbles float in the shade of the tree, looking at the colorful bubbles, Mu Ling sighed happily: "It's so beautiful. "
He shook the tree trunk, and said with a little regret: "It would be great if I could stay on this tree forever."
"Can't you?" Tang Lin was a little surprised, and the wood spirit answered him in frustration: "No... If I stay on the same tree for a long time, the tree will die."
Tang Lin glanced at the drooping branches and leaves around him, and asked hesitantly: "Then are you going to stay like this all the time—staying on the tree like this?" When he wanted to frown, he remembered that he had no eyebrows now, so he could only click them. Click on the beak instead.
"If I have a wood spirit heart, I can come out, but wood spirit hearts are too rare, I only know that my mother once had one... but now I don't know where it is." Mu Ling said a little gloomily, but he Soon he became happy again, and said happily to Tang Linhuan: "No matter what, thank you!"
"Remember to come and see me in the future." When Tang Lin left, Mu Ling sent him tree by tree to the end of the forest. He watched Tang Lin flapping his wings and flying away from a distance. , shaking the branches and leaves of his own tree vigorously, as if waving goodbye.
Tang Lin hovered and flew up in the wind, he looked down at the swaying sea of trees, and responded with a soft cry.
Maybe it's time to clarify with Xiao Zibai.Tang Lin thought, he decided to find an opportunity to tell Xiao Zibai the whole truth.
Originally, he planned to go tonight, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. In the evening, Tang Lin had just stepped out of the flying shuttle, and saw the sky that had been tempered by the violent sand gradually spread over the horizon. The layer is light blue.The blue color slowly spread like ink, gradually expanding the smudge, and slowly dyed the entire sky into the same blue.
A huge cyan Xinghe shuttle silently protruded from the green sky, although the Xinghe shuttle was not as tall as the flying shuttle of the Beast Master Sect, it was already stronger than that of the Lingshan Sword Sect several times larger.
I don't know if it didn't see anyone below, or it slowed down on purpose, the huge Xinghe Shuo slowly crushed towards Lingshan Sword Sect in an oppressive posture.The huge body of the shuttle gleamed coldly in the sun. From Tang Lin's perspective, a blue auspicious cloud mark on the body of the shuttle was extremely conspicuous.
Qingyunmen, Tang Lin recognized the owner of Xingheshuo at a glance.Remembering that in the original text, Xiao Zibai was besieged to death by a group of cultivators headed by Qingyunmen, Tang Lin smiled coldly, and retreated directly into the shuttle: He didn't want to deal with these guys at all.
The disciples of the Lingshan Sword Sect watched the giant shuttle slowly approaching with vigilance, including Xiao Zibai, every face was full of unfriendliness.Elder Wu frowned, and spat in annoyance: "The villain succeeds! We're not dead yet!"
"Hey! You! I don't know where to look when I'm walking." A complaining murmur came from above Tang Lin's head, mixed with the "rustling" sound of shaking leaves. Tang Lin subconsciously apologized repeatedly. When he looked up, he saw There was a bumpy human face on the tree trunk, which made him spit out a mouthful of fire when he opened his mouth in fright.
"Why do you do this, you monster! It's fine to hit a tree, and you still breathe fire!" The human face on the tree trunk complained in a low voice, and then he shook his body, and the leaves on Tang Lin's head shook violently, and a handful of dew Leaning on Tang Lin's head with a "crash", it turned the small ball of incandescent fire that Tang Lin spewed out into a wisp of green smoke, and by the way, Tang Lin's whole bird was completely doused.
Tang Lin looked at the tree expressionlessly with his wet bird face.
The tree was a little embarrassed, and the face on the trunk sank slightly, as if he was lowering his head to avoid Tang Lin's gaze: "...well, I didn't control my strength well, forgive me, forgive me..." At that time, the branches on his head that were far apart were still trying to bend and touch each other, as if he was learning to align his fingers. However, because the branches were too long, he failed to achieve his wish after several attempts, and rubbed off a few pieces instead. green leaves.
——It happened to land on Tang Lin.
Tang Lin was silent for a moment, flapped the leaves above his head and body with his wings, stepped back a few steps, walked out of the shadow of the tree, flicked his feathers, shook the water off his body, and then carefully sprayed out a ball of fire, Wagging his head and jumping in to wash himself.As a result, while he was washing, the tree behind him murmured again: "Isn't it good to take a bath in front of others?"
"...You shut up." Tang Lin couldn't bear it anymore, probably because he was covered in fire at the moment, and he was indeed very intimidating in the eyes of a tree, that face quietly closed his mouth.But before it closed for a while, the tree opened its mouth again: "Seriously, don't you think it's not good to set fire in front of a tree? Although I believe you won't burn me, I'm still afraid Well, this is the root of a tree! Yes, Ben! Do you know? It is deeply rooted in the blood, and it is difficult to change it for a while..."
Tang Lin extinguished the fire with a flap of his wings.
"The fire is gone now." Tang Lin said coldly.
The tree froze for a moment, hesitated and said, "...Oh."
The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence for a while.
In this silence, Tang Lin's heavy thoughts interrupted by the sudden appearance of the tree returned to Tang Lin. He looked at the tree and looked around, and found that he could no longer tell where he was. at.Tang Lin knew that he could fly directly to the sky to find out the direction, but he was too lazy to flap his wings now.

The branches and leaves straightened up with a "crash": "I just feel that you are not happy, and I want to comfort you..." The face seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then whispered: "But my hands are too short, I can touch them no matter what. Not to you."
Tang Lin glanced at the broken branches and leaves on the ground, and the vigilance in his eyes faded a little, but he still asked, "Who are you?"
"What do you want to ask is what am I?" The face said indifferently, rattling the leaves above his head: "I used to be a tree, but now I am just a wood spirit. I'm dead, so I can only live on another tree." Then, that face suddenly disappeared from the trunk in front of Tang Lin, and appeared on another tree, shaking the branches and leaves at Tang Lin: " Look, like this."
"Your body... is dead?" Tang Lin said in surprise, but soon he realized, and hurriedly added: "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked..."
"It's okay, it's been many years anyway." The wood spirit happily shook the tree trunk, frowned and thought for a while, and finally the branch shook and said: "It's been too long, I can't remember exactly what happened. I just remember that there was a lot of fire that day, blood and screams everywhere..."
He was quiet for a moment before continuing, "I just remember that my parents died that day."
Tang Lin deeply regretted why he had brought up such a topic. He looked up at the wood spirit's face, intending to touch the tree trunk, but he wondered whether touching the tree trunk would be useful.While he was hesitating, Mu Ling raised his face and said with a smile: "It was Uncle Huang who rescued me. I am very grateful to him. No matter what, living is always better than dying, and I live for a day. I can still remember my parents for a day, so that everyone will not forget them."
"Uncle Huang will bring me to pay homage to them every once in a while. I still miss my parents, but I am not so sad anymore."
He clapped several branches and leaves together, as if clapping his hands, and said in relief: "Look, everything will pass, and the things that made me so sad at the beginning are still passed, so you Don't be sad, eh?"

A little smile appeared in his eyes, and he flapped his wings and flew to the tree where the wood spirit was. On the ground, he picked a branch and stood there, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."
The breeze gently blows the branches and leaves of the tree, making small and broken sounds, the light morning light slanted in through the branches and leaves, and shines on Tang Lin's feathers, for a moment it is radiant and gorgeous square things.
Mu Ling tried hard to raise his face to look at Tang Lin, but he couldn't lift it to a suitable position. If he wanted him to change to another tree, he was reluctant.

Although Mu Ling was curious, he endured and did not continue to ask, but Tang Lin couldn't help but continued: "I have met him since the first day I came to this world."
Then he told the whole story little by little.
He talked about his first meeting with Xiao Zibai, the ordinary and happy life in those few years, the sudden separation, meeting again and parting again... He talked a lot, and even talked about some things he saw when he was a reader. Tang Lin suddenly fell silent, and asked Mu Ling abruptly, "Do you believe in prophecy?"
"Prophecy?" The wood spirit repeated strangely, his expression looked very strange, with a little bit of rare resentment and disgust.
"Big Bird, do you know that many, many years ago, the human race and the monster race had a fight." Mu Ling said, although he didn't have a real tongue and mouth, but for some reason, Tang Lin always felt that the voice of the wood spirit at this moment With a strange dry voice: "Do you know why they are fighting?"
"—Because, a bastard made such a prophecy."
Mu Ling told Tang Lin that many, many years ago, Yaozu once had a powerful fortune-teller, who controlled the power of time and space, and could peek into the past and future.That fortune teller can predict every flood, every drought, and even the death of a big monster and the birth of a new bloodline.

Tang Lin retorted weakly in his heart: "No, I believe Xiao Zibai won't alienate me because of this, I'm just worried that it will expose the secrets of the monster clan of the Royal Beast Sect..."
"Come on, don't make excuses for yourself anymore! It's not that you don't worry about the exposure of Yushouzong, but about Xiao Zibai, you are more worried about yourself! At first you thought it was just a simple matter. A lie, but as time goes by, the influence of this lie is getting bigger and bigger. You have already discovered it, but you still haven’t come forward. Isn’t it fun to tease Xiao Zibai? Watching him fall apart because he doesn’t know anything Is it fun to make a fool of yourself in front of you?"
Tang Lin's face was hot for a moment, and he murmured: "No...I don't think so..."
"If you plan to hide it from him for the rest of your life, then keep hiding it, but if you are still going to tell him the truth, then tell him quickly! It's always better to tell him sooner than later. The longer you delay, things will only be like It's snowballing and it's getting worse."
To Tang Lin's shame, in his mind, the idea of "hiding him for the rest of his life" had the upper hand for a few seconds, but soon he made up his mind to put away the thought that made him feel guilty and ashamed. Pressed hard in the deepest dark corner of my heart.
"...I have to tell him anyway." Tang Lin said to himself, and unconsciously tapped the branch with his toes over and over again, as if this could relieve the pressure he felt.He shook his head, and said to Mu Ling in disbelief: "You are right, I really don't trust him enough. I will tell him everything, I... I believe he will not abandon me because of this."
"That's right." Mu Ling said with satisfaction, he patted the branches and leaves, and "slapped" a translucent green bubble: "Come and play together?"
Tang Lin hesitated for a while, but still didn't refuse, so Tang Lin played bubbles with Mu Ling for a long time.
Playing around, he discovered that these bubbles were all made of wood spiritual power, so after carefully deconstructing a few, he made red bubbles, blue bubbles, and golden bubbles by analogy... Mu Ling couldn't let go of those bubbles, he begged Tang Lin to help him stabilize the bubbles, and then carefully let those bubbles float in the shade of the tree, looking at the colorful bubbles, Mu Ling sighed happily: "It's so beautiful. "
He shook the tree trunk, and said with a little regret: "It would be great if I could stay on this tree forever."
"Can't you?" Tang Lin was a little surprised, and the wood spirit answered him in frustration: "No... If I stay on the same tree for a long time, the tree will die."
Tang Lin glanced at the drooping branches and leaves around him, and asked hesitantly: "Then are you going to stay like this all the time—staying on the tree like this?" When he wanted to frown, he remembered that he had no eyebrows now, so he could only click them. Click on the beak instead.
"If I have a wood spirit heart, I can come out, but wood spirit hearts are too rare, I only know that my mother once had one... but now I don't know where it is." Mu Ling said a little gloomily, but he Soon he became happy again, and said happily to Tang Linhuan: "No matter what, thank you!"
"Remember to come and see me in the future." When Tang Lin left, Mu Ling sent him tree by tree to the end of the forest. He watched Tang Lin flapping his wings and flying away from a distance. , shaking the branches and leaves of his own tree vigorously, as if waving goodbye.
Tang Lin hovered and flew up in the wind, he looked down at the swaying sea of trees, and responded with a soft cry.
Maybe it's time to clarify with Xiao Zibai.Tang Lin thought, he decided to find an opportunity to tell Xiao Zibai the whole truth.
Originally, he planned to go tonight, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. In the evening, Tang Lin had just stepped out of the flying shuttle, and saw the sky that had been tempered by the violent sand gradually spread over the horizon. The layer is light blue.The blue color slowly spread like ink, gradually expanding the smudge, and slowly dyed the entire sky into the same blue.
A huge cyan Xinghe shuttle silently protruded from the green sky, although the Xinghe shuttle was not as tall as the flying shuttle of the Beast Master Sect, it was already stronger than that of the Lingshan Sword Sect several times larger.
I don't know if it didn't see anyone below, or it slowed down on purpose, the huge Xinghe Shuo slowly crushed towards Lingshan Sword Sect in an oppressive posture.The huge body of the shuttle gleamed coldly in the sun. From Tang Lin's perspective, a blue auspicious cloud mark on the body of the shuttle was extremely conspicuous.
Qingyunmen, Tang Lin recognized the owner of Xingheshuo at a glance.Remembering that in the original text, Xiao Zibai was besieged to death by a group of cultivators headed by Qingyunmen, Tang Lin smiled coldly, and retreated directly into the shuttle: He didn't want to deal with these guys at all.
The disciples of the Lingshan Sword Sect watched the giant shuttle slowly approaching with vigilance, including Xiao Zibai, every face was full of unfriendliness.Elder Wu frowned, and spat in annoyance: "The villain succeeds! We're not dead yet!"
