The vine face that suddenly appeared had lifelike facial features, vaguely like a child's, staring at Ling Xiao with a look that seemed both real and imaginary.
"It's strange, you have the aura of my kind." It spoke, its tone full of doubts.
"Who are you, your kind?" Ling Xiao asked.
"My true body is the fairy vine that was born at the beginning of chaos, the ancestor of the wood spirits in the world!" It announced its home, making a milky sound and being quite proud.
"Xian Teng, the ancestor of the wood spirit... are you A Lu?" Ling Xiao suddenly had a guess and blurted out.
"Alu?"
It chewed these two words with some confusion and confusion.
"I don't know. I am just a trace of the natural remnants of my true body left in the sword. It took many years to condense my heart and soul, and I have no memory of my true body. But this name does give me a familiar feeling..."
It muttered to itself.
Ling Xiao was startled and quickly called Xiaoshu, but no matter how he called, he got no response.
"This is the world in the sword, and it is also the world of my heart and soul. It is completely isolated from the outside world. No one can come in except you." It seemed to have noticed Ling Xiao's small movements and explained.
Ling Xiao had no choice but to give up his efforts.
"Then can I still go out?"
"Yes. The power of this sword has been completely exhausted over the long years. This place is about to collapse, and I have to return to my origin."
"ah?"
Ling Xiao was startled and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Is it possible that the most precious treasure of the Dragon Star Dynasty should be destroyed in his own hands?
"You don't have to blame yourself. I left this sword for future generations to use. Once it's used up, use it up. But can you tell me where your ability comes from?"
"Ability...you mean my ability to understand the speech of plants and trees?"
"That's right. A human being can understand the language of vegetation and spirits, which makes me wonder, is your father a tree spirit?"
"No. I don't know. It'll be fine as soon as I wake up. Here's the thing..."
Ling Xiao explained, but concealed the fact that he had traveled from the earth, and only said that he had gained this special ability after nearly dying.
"What? Even you don't know."
It's a bit disappointing.
After a moment of silence, it said: "Forget it, you are really a strange kind. Since I am going back to my roots, there is still some essence of wood here, so I will give it to you!"
"You...you're leaving now?"
Ling Xiao was stunned for no reason, and suddenly felt very reluctant to leave.
It seemed to smile and said: "Don't be sad for me. The end of my birth is to return to my origin. As long as I am still between heaven and earth, I will one day meet my true self again."
An idea flashed in Ling Xiao's mind, and he hurriedly asked: "Then where is your true body now?"
It thought for a moment, shook its head and said, "I don't know, he may have left this world a long time ago. What do you want to do with him?"
Ling Xiao said: "There is a tree next to me. He knows your identity and has been looking for it."
It groaned and said with a smile: "Is it the tree that lives in your Dantian? It's a pity that I don't have the memory of the original body and can't recognize it. Come on, as long as you keep climbing the peak of heaven, one day, You will meet him at the top. I hope that by that time, my body will have absorbed this part of my memory. Goodbye..."
The vines slowly drooped weakly, and this lifelike face slowly disappeared.
…
Ling Xiao's eyes were spinning for a while, and then he suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up.
"ah!"
He heard Xiaogua's low cry, and then he was hugged directly.
"You are finally awake..."
Xiao Gua choked with sobs, hugging him tightly as if she was afraid of losing him.
Ling Xiao was a little out of breath in her arms. He heard the chirping of the small trees again, and then he realized that he had been in a coma for a whole day and had now returned to Jingshui City.
"Is that... a dream?" he murmured.
"I am, what's wrong?" Shen Meng came up and asked strangely.
Ling Xiao glanced at her angrily.
Who asked you?
When he was speechless, he suddenly felt a cool breath, rising from the center of his eyebrows and filling his whole body for a short time, making him feel as if he was in a fairyland.
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed.
This cool breath is a ball of extremely pure wood essence!
"The dream is not a dream, the fantasy is not an illusion, I really met him..."
He exclaimed in a low voice, unable to conceal his shock.
Ignoring Shen Meng who kept asking questions, Ling Xiao quickly said to Xiaoshu: "Xiaoshu, I met a fragment of your big brother Alu's soul!"
[What, really? ! 】
[These essences of wood...are really the aura of Brother Alu. What did he tell you? 】
Ling Xiao explained everything in detail.
After hearing this, Xiaoshu was so surprised that he could not speak for a long time.
After a long time, Xiao Shufang said: [Se embryo, now I feel that being with you is the most correct decision. You and Brother Alu must have a special fate! Just like what he said, as long as we practice unremittingly, we will meet him again one day! 】
Ling Xiao nodded heavily and said: "That's right! I hope what we encounter next time is his true form!"
Putting a hand on his cheek, Xiao Gua stared at him blankly, his eyes full of worry: "I asked you where else you feel uncomfortable, why did you nod?"
Ling Xiao came back to his senses and couldn't help but laugh. He held her cold little hand and said pity: "I'm fine, I made you worry."
His injuries have been completely healed by Xiaoshu.
However, the consequences of Qingxuan's death blow were not that simple, and his cultivation was damaged as a result.
What's even worse is that I couldn't get Qingxuan's storage bag!
Ling Xiao sighed softly, took Xiaogua into his arms, and said gently: "It's nothing to lose a little bit of cultivation. It's just enough to wait for your cultivation progress."
Xiao Gua couldn't help but pinch him and said angrily: "How long has it been, and you still say these nonsense!"
She raised her eyes and saw Shen Meng and others looking like they were watching a show.
"Hug it!"
"Let me just say that their relationship is not simple!"
"Although our court does not prohibit official romance, please take it easy and don't miss the next work!"
Listening to the chattering of this group of people, Xiaogua couldn't help but laugh, and simply buried his head in Ling Xiao's arms and ignored them.
Ling Xiao looked at Shen Meng and asked, "Your Highness, is Master Tao here?"
Shen Meng put away her mentality of watching the show and said solemnly: "The grand master said that when you wake up, you will inform him that I have let the little lion go."
Half an hour later.
Ling Xiao met Tao Mingqian as he wished. This Taoist priest who had always cultivated his moral character was now wearing a battle armor and showing off his sharp edge.
At this moment, the crown prince and grand master, who had all the power in the government and the public, showed his most powerful and powerful side.
"The commander's injury healed very quickly!" Tao Mingqian said with a smile.
Ling Xiao came up with a set of words that he had prepared earlier.
"You...met the Elf in the Sword? Could it be the split soul of that great man? It turns out that he cured you. What a blessing!"
Tao Mingqian was surprised.
