Going to Jiuxiao to find a hibiscus tree is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Su Jian knew this truth, but Luo Wenxiu didn't necessarily know it.

Su Jian is not sure how big Jiuxiao is. This ghostly place seems to have no boundaries, because no matter how you walk, you will always see the lonely white snow as far as you can see.

Su Jian prefers to call it a prison of the living dead rather than a miracle forgotten by immortals.Because this place is so lonely, people will hallucinate in the endless ice and snow after a long time, and even go crazy in the end.

All the electronic devices here are automatically shut down due to the low temperature. There is no sun, let alone the alternation of day and night. Luo Wenxiu has no way of knowing how long they have been away.

Although it seemed more convenient to find a tree in such an all-white world, in fact, they spent too much time without finding even a trace of clues.

Suzaku circled and circled, and finally landed on a vast open space.

Su Jian had just stepped on the snow with one foot, only to hear the rustling sound of the soles of her feet, and the snow had sunk to a thickness of at least ten centimeters.He glanced at his feet and said softly: "This is almost the middle of the whole Jiuxiao, right?"

Suzaku nodded.

Luo Wenxiu looked around. There was no vegetation, no exposed mountains, and no sun above his head.He hesitated and said, "How do you judge the position?"

"Feeling." Su Jian squinted at him and smiled, "If you were locked up in one place for decades and couldn't do anything except take a walk every day, you would be familiar with every inch of the world even in a completely dark world."

Luo Wenxiu was speechless, but Suzaku sneered and said, "The wind and snow in the entire Jiuxiao gradually increases from west to east, and the location can be calculated based on the thickness of the snow under your feet. Don't believe his nonsense, this person always likes to flaunt that he is not at all. talent that exists."

Su Jian smacked her lips, she was speechless to this guy who was trying to tear him down.If it weren't for the fact that there is a demand for it now, Su Jian would like to drive it out of the Three Realms immediately, and don't dangle in front of him for the rest of her life.

But the slander is the slander, Su Jian is well aware of the situation where people can eat people with soft mouths and short hands, so she put her hands in her pockets and mumbled: "Do you always have any ideas? It's freezing cold to death, and you have worked so hard to bring us here." Couldn't it just be here for a visit?"

Suzaku said: "We have almost checked all the possible correct positions in my impression just now. Fusang grows slower than ordinary trees. If it is still alive, I guess it may be crushed under the snow." Suzaku looked at Luo Wenxiu, and asked tentatively, "Do you feel anything?"

Luo Wenxiu pondered for a moment, then hesitated, "I... how should I feel?"

Suzaku didn't answer yet, and only listened to Su Jian who was on the side saying slowly: "The hibiscus tree is the sun god tree, which has a very high courtesy in the god world. Yao Huang is a god and a prince. In previous years, every spring sacrifice, The prince personally selected the most spiritual branch to make a trembling stick that can inspire mountains and rivers... So I guess what Suzaku means is to let you try to see if you can feel the spirit of the hibiscus tree."

Luo Wenxiu was confused, but subconsciously followed the direction Su Jian said to try.

Ever since he came out of the Three Boundary Monument, he had an indescribable feeling, as if he had suddenly added another sense to the five senses of shape, sound, smell, taste, and touch.This ability allows him to unintentionally predict something that is about to happen, or rely on intuition to speculate on a result that has not yet happened.

The sudden development of the "sixth sense" made Luo Wenxiu infer that this should be related to the return of Yaohuang's spiritual consciousness.

The goal of finding Fusang's spirit, which sounds absurd, actually had a clear result after Luo Wen's efforts to revise his children's scriptures—he closed his eyes, and felt a faint power in the whistling wind and snow .This kind of power comes from ancient times, as if there is a silk that spans thousands of years in the air, and the end fluttering in the wind is looming.

Luo Wenxiu tried several times, and finally grasped it tightly in his hand.

Luo Wenxiu walked against the wind in search of the invisible and intangible line, and the originally vague goal became more and more clear with his footsteps, and finally became a clear end point.

So Su Jian knew that what they were looking for was there.

Suzaku and Su Jian finally followed Luo Wenxiu and stopped in front of a raised highland, facing a snow-covered slope.

At first glance, the terrain here may be a low mountain, but if you take a second look, you can find the difference.Vaguely covered under the snow is an uneven object, which should not be as flat as a hillside.

The original feeling of being able to sort out the thread gradually became chaotic when he came here. Luo Wenxiu closed his eyes again, but he could no longer find the erratic "thread" in the wind and snow.

So he took a deep breath and said, "Probably this is it."

Su Jian clapped her hands, and couldn't help but patted Luo Wenxiu on the shoulder as she passed by.Then he heard him praise and said: "The beauty is not only pleasing to the eye, but now her skills are getting better and better. She is indeed the person I fancy and has a future."

Luo Wenxiu rolled his eyes at him, and for the sake of Suzaku's presence, he refrained from scolding him.However, he secretly swore in his heart that if he came back alive this time, he would definitely explain his position to Su Jian when he got the chance, lest this person always think that he was the one who always had the upper hand.

Just thinking about it, Su Jian had already reached into the icy snow.I don't know what he caught, but he shook it vigorously, and all the fluffy snow on the slope fell down.Like dominoes, all the snow in this piece sank side by side, exposing a tree buried deep in the snow.

Most of the trunk of the tree was covered with snow, with no branches, and it looked as if it had been withered for a long time.Luo Wenxiu stepped forward to touch it, and the dry bark immediately made a crisp sound under his hands, and then peeled off in one piece.

It was a lifeless dead tree.

Luo Wenxiu frowned involuntarily. Could it be that they came all the way to Jiuxiao, and this is the only result they found in the end?Unwillingness and confusion occupy Luo Wenxiu's mind—he clearly felt the "spirit" of Fusang just now, but why did he find such a dead tree? Leave such a clear trace?

Just thinking about it, he suddenly raised his head and saw a crow flying from afar in the distance.It circled a few times over the dead tree, and finally landed on the top of the hibiscus tree with flapping wings.

Taking a closer look, the bird has three legs, Su Jian said "Tsk", "It's the Golden Crow."

"You mean that this is the golden bird of the sun?" Luo Wenxiu asked suspiciously: "It is said that it perches on the branches of hibiscus and turns into the sun and walks from east to west every day. It turns out that the golden crow really exists... So the hibiscus is still alive. not dead?"

As Luo Wenxiu said, he looked at the ugly tree again.Although the dead tree looks lifeless, but with the previous experience of touching the Three Boundary Monument, Luo Wenxiu naturally stretched out his palm to cover the trunk of the hibiscus tree, trying to feel the spirituality emanating from it as close as possible. media.

At that moment, Luo Wenxiu's ears rang inadvertently.A familiar feeling struck, and Luo Wenxiu realized that he had stepped into a certain enchantment while coming into contact with Fusang.

Turning around, Su Jian and Suzaku who were behind him were gone.

Luo Wenxiu thinks that all kinds of barriers in this world are like bubbles of different sizes.Sometimes it is man-made, sometimes it is naturally formed in nature.

Most of these enchantment bubbles are fragile and short-lived, just like some tools that you suddenly couldn’t find life and death reappeared in your hand after a few seconds, but in fact it was just temporarily hidden by the bubble enchantment that floated inadvertently, And you just don't realize it.

However, in this enchantment of Fusang, the Golden Crow is still there.It looked down at everything around it, and suddenly "quacked" twice, then flew down from the top of the tree, landed on the trunk not far from Luo Wenxiu, and said, "Don't waste your efforts, the hibiscus tree is dead long ago."

Regarding the fact that a bird can speak human language, Luo Wenxiu was not surprised, so he said calmly: "But I have clearly felt the spirit of Fusang just now, if it weren't for the spiritual power it radiated, I would never have been able to get out of here. Find it in the snow."

"What you feel is not a tree." The Golden Crow flapped its wings twice, "It's the mountain under your feet, and the mountain spirit guides you to find the last hibiscus tree."

"But why did the mountain spirit guide me to find a dead tree?" Luo Wenxiu said, "You are a divine bird, Fusang is dead, why are you still here?"

Jin Wu smacked his lips and said: "I'm here to wait for you. Now the whole Three Realms know that you have returned, and only you have the chance to revive Fusang. As long as Fusang wakes up again, you can find what you want."

"You said I'm the only one who can revive Fusang?" Luo Wenxiu adjusted his glasses and said seriously, "Tell me, what new mission card are you going to send me?"

Jin Wu obviously didn't understand what Luo Wenxiu was talking about, but he didn't pursue it.I saw it suddenly soaring into the sky, hovering above Luo Wenxiu's head and said: "Fusang's roots are rooted in the deepest part of Jiuxiao, Jiuxiao lost its aura, Fusang naturally died together. You are the one who sealed the demon domain and divided the three worlds back then. , as long as you sacrifice your blood to the earth, Jiuxiao's mountain soul will naturally wake up, and the Fusang sacred tree will naturally wake up as well."

"Sacrificing my blood can make Fusang wake up?" Luo Wenxiu repeated a key word of the Golden Crow, "I came all the way to Jiuxiao just to give Fusang a life in exchange for another life. What is this? Reason? Don't you think I'm a bit too Lei Feng?!"

"What is Lei Feng?"

Jin Wu couldn't help asking another question, but Luo Wenxiu didn't intend to answer it.He thought about it carefully and said, "Are you sure that what you said is true?"

Jin Wu said: "It's absolutely true. As long as the mountain spirit wakes up and the hibiscus tree sprouts again, you can naturally find a new trembling stick from the tree."

Luo Wenxiu lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. From Jin Wu's point of view, he seemed to be thinking about whether he really wanted to sacrifice his ego to achieve the greater ego.

The barrier is a closed double space, and Su Jian in the outer layer cannot hear their conversation.So Jinwu added: "The human world urgently needs mountain gods to settle the chaos. Without a new tremor stick, you won't be able to summon mountain souls and water souls... I know that Si Yuan is not willing to let you die, but every second of your hesitation is in your mind." More people's lives are at stake."

"Okay, stop talking, isn't it just a blood sacrifice..." Luo Wenxiu raised his head resolutely, the determination in his eyes made the Golden Crow feel excited, "Since people are going to die eventually, why not choose such a meaningful way of death, At least future generations will have to think of me well."

As Luo Wenxiu said, he pulled out a small dagger for self-defense from his sleeve.He took a step closer to Fusang, and rolled up the sleeves on his wrists.

"Tell Director Su for me later, and tell him that I died in the line of duty during this trip, and ask him to help me collect a good body. There must also be a key point in the memorial service, and I will not be in vain as a people's policeman in this life."

At this time Luo Wenxiu was talking about something that Jinwu couldn't hear clearly, because Jinwu was staring at him intently with wide-open eyes.It strongly suppresses inner longing and ecstasy.
