Being brought together by Ning Rongrong, Qian Renxue and Leng Xiyue, two people who had no apparent connection with each other, had a reasonable connection. After all, as guests of the Qibao Glazed Sect, as the prince, he had reason to contact them. .
So, after Qian Renxue asked several passers-by what happened, she sent people to hunt down the suspects who caused the trouble, and then invited Leng Xiyue: "Miss, I will be at Duke Linsen's castle tonight. We are hosting a banquet to entertain the nobles who are willing to come here for development. I wonder if Miss is interested in coming and joining our business?"
"Okay, but can I bring a few companions?" With that, Leng Xiyue introduced Tianmeng and Xuanwu beside him: "Tianmeng, the seventy-first level control soul saint, is my brother; Xuanwu, A thirty-level defensive soul master, he can be regarded as a reliable junior in my brother’s family.”
"Hello, His Majesty the Crown Prince." Tianmeng just nodded slightly without saying much, and Xuanwu didn't even say anything.
"Of course." Qian Renxue looked at Tianmeng and couldn't help but be a little shocked.
The young man in front of me who looks to be in his twenties is actually a powerful Soul Saint? This is a bit too amazing.
But if you think about it carefully, it's normal. Maybe it's because of his beauty skills, and maybe his real age is already in his forties or fifties.
"That's good. Tianmeng also has a disciple who is also in Xingdou Town. After we meet him, we will definitely go to the banquet."
Leng Xiyue was naturally looking for Oscar. Now that she had such an early opportunity for him to meet Ning Rongrong, she certainly didn't mind letting the pair meet first to leave a good impression.
But...it's hard to say who is chasing whom this time.
Qian Renxue asked the attendant on the side to hand an invitation to Leng Xiyue, and then left citing busy official duties.
Being able to see Qian Renxue here made Leng Xiyue's heart surge. However, after the night was quiet, the two of them would be able to meet each other, so there was no rush now.
After finding Oscar based on the locations of the two legionnaires in the spiritual network, Leng Xiyue changed him and Xuanwu into decent clothes, and she also changed into a beautiful dress. However, Tianmeng had always been very particular about his clothes. , the taste is also very high, she doesn’t need to worry about it.
After changing their clothes, the four of them headed to the Duke's Castle in the center of Star Dou Town.
The owner of this castle is naturally the Contra who founded Star Dou Town. In order to give the people here a legal identity, he accepted the canonization of the Tian Dou Empire and became a duke. He has the power to establish an army and the power of Star Dou Town and surrounding lands. ownership.
Now the Duke is still alive, but he is very old and has disappeared from the public eye for nearly two years. If there was no obituary and funeral, many people would have thought that this spiritual pillar of Star Dou Town was dead.
Arriving at the castle gate, Leng Xiyue handed the invitation to the waiter at the door.
"Hello, I was invited by His Highness the Crown Prince to attend the banquet. These are my friends."
The waiter took one look and bowed quickly: "Dear guest, please follow me."
Following the waiter into the castle gate, he saw many soul beasts, chariots and horses parked at the gate, and they were of a high level. Only famous families could afford such carriages. ….
"Everyone, the banquet has not officially started yet. Please take a look around for a few distinguished guests. When the banquet begins, His Royal Highness will send someone to invite all the distinguished guests." After entering the central castle, the waiter said.
Leng Xiyue glanced at it and found that there were quite a few guests, about one or two hundred people.
Those who can take a share of this incident in Xingdou Town are all nobles with surnames throughout the empire. Some small families are participated by the older generation, and those like the Qibao Glazed Sect or lower The forces sent juniors and a housekeeper, treating it as an opportunity for training. Therefore, the middle-aged and elderly people had to surround these juniors.
After all, in front of several major sects, most of the rest can be regarded as small nobles, with huge differences in size.
Leng Xiyue felt her scalp numb as she looked at this scene. She was not a social person, let alone such occasions.
However, looking at the curious eyes of Oscar and Xuanwu on the side, Leng
Xiyue then said to Tianmeng: "Tianmeng, please bring them here to see the world. It would be good to get used to this decadent upper-class social life. I will go outside and wander around casually."
Tianmeng didn't like this kind of situation either, but since Leng Xiyue had spoken, he could only nod his head: "Yeah, okay."
After parting with the three of them, Leng Xiyue went out and wandered in the garden outside.
It is said to be a garden, but in fact there are not many changes. It seems that after the castle was built, a part of the forest was retained, and then walls and moats were built outside, and some flowers and plants were planted. Those who did not know how to grow The tall trees that have been around for a long time have not changed at all, and roads are built around these trees.
It seems that the owner of this castle really likes the environment of the Star Forest.
By the way, Qian Renxue seemed to have mentioned before that the owner here seems to be named...Lin Sen? That seems quite reasonable~
While complaining secretly, Leng Xiyue walked on the forest path. It had to be said that although she had stayed in the forest for a long time before, when she calmed down and felt the vicissitudes and purity of these ancient trees, The air seemed to be purified, and an impetuous heart seemed to be purified and settled down.
After walking a few hundred steps, Leng Xiyue suddenly discovered a bench under a peach tree not far away. An old man was sitting on it and taking a nap. The noise outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.
The old man's clothes were simple and somewhat slovenly, and there was no servant around him, so Leng Xiyue speculated that he was probably a gardener or something, resting here.
At this time, it was the season of winter and spring, and the cold wind was biting. Leng Xiyue couldn't help but worry about the old man's health. After all, they all worked hard to beg for food. If the whole family was frozen, no one would be able to support them.
He walked closer and put a piece of clothing on the old man. Then Leng Xiyue didn't bother him and prepared to continue shopping.
After just a few steps, a voice came from behind: "Please stay, little girl."
"Old man, are you awake? Aren't you afraid of getting sick if you sleep in a place like this?"
Hearing Leng Xiyue's words, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled: "Haha, I'm an old man. Anyway, he's not alive for long. Rather than dying on the bed, it's better to die under these trees. It's still considered good." A beautiful story.”….
"To me, these trees are like brothers and sisters. I guess you can't understand it at all, right? Haha."
Hearing this, Leng Xiyue immediately understood that the unattractive old man in front of her was probably the owner of this place, Duke Linsen.
But why did Mr. Lin not only not host this important banquet tonight as the host, but also sleep here in the cold wind?
To be honest, with Leng Xiyue's experience, she still doesn't pay much attention to a Contra-level figure, but the old man in front of her looks very pitiful. Not to mention his children and descendants, he doesn't even have a loyal servant of his own. Deep in the garden, he looked like a lonely old man, and Leng Xiyue suddenly felt a lot of affection for him.
"I can understand that many people have a unique hobby. I have seen many people collect calligraphy and paintings, insect specimens, medals, and various coins in history, even if they spend their entire lives to do so."
"And I think, old man, you should be more than that. You should have a unique feeling for this forest, right?"
"You're right." Lin Sen nodded, then raised his head, seeming to be caught up in some distant memory: "Compared to animals, it is difficult for plants to develop intelligence, even if they can really become plant-type soul beasts. , and most of them have no ability to move. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to grow in this forest. Human beings like nothing more than these soul beasts that cannot move and have great weaknesses. They can be hunted for soul rings at will."
"At the same time, other soul beasts also like to eat these plant-based soul beasts with certain cultivation levels as nutrients to improve themselves. Even if they are well hidden, there is still a risk of being affected by the fight and directly dying."
Leng Xiyue knew that plant-based soul beasts were indeed extremely rare. Plants obviously reproduced and grew much faster than animals, but their proportion in the entire forest might not even reach 5%.
Existences like the Blue Silver Emperor are rare
, after all, they are everywhere. As long as one or two plants remain in a certain area, they can ensure their immortality, while other plant-based soul beasts...at most are just a piece of grass, a flower, a tree, and a vine. If you die, you will really die. The higher the quality of the plant, the more miserable it will be if it becomes a soul beast.
Before Leng Xiyue could reply, Lin Sen continued: "My martial spirit is a pink flower named Acacia Heartbroken Red... This flower is extremely magical and its functions are endless. As a martial spirit, as long as the user With enough obsession, your cultivation can grow rapidly."
"Similarly, if there is no obsession, then the cultivation level will also stagnate. Therefore, I have become a Contra at the age of sixty."
"As a plant-type martial spirit, I can sense the thoughts of plant-type spirit beasts and communicate with them. I have used this ability to get acquainted with many plant-type spirit beasts, and I was shocked by their tenacious vitality... Of course, most of them Most of them die quickly due to accidents.”
"Later, I met a peach blossom demon, which is the peach tree behind me. It lived to be a hundred years old by virtue of its disguise, and became a rare hundred-year-old spirit beast of this generation. It also has its own thinking and will. There are not many soul beasts this year that can possess thinking consciousness."
"Then... I happened to be spotted by someone who was passing by at that time."
"I wasn't even a soul master at that time. Because the Heartbroken Red was not activated, I could only aimlessly come to this forest to seek opportunities. Later, I was chased by a monkey that had been around for decades. By chance, I was chased by this monkey. Saved by the Peach Blossom Demon...”….
"After talking to her, I fell in love with this girl who was indomitable and proactive even though she was just an immovable tree. Unknowingly, my love for her blossomed."
"Since then, I have made a plan as a young and frivolous person. As long as I am strong enough, I will build a fortress here to protect her and give her a place where she can live a stable life without fear, even if I live the longest Just over a hundred years."
"Every year I come here to see her, and she welcomes me very much. Every year when we meet, she is as happy as a child and gives me the peaches she has grown."
Speaking of this, Lin Sen showed a smile on his face. He smiled and burst into tears. "But I came a step too late after all. When I have prepared enough resources and manpower, I can come here." When we were enclosing the land and building the city, I could only see her remains..."
"There is no enemy, and it is even very clear. That is, a human-faced demon spider that has broken through the millennium and a leopard with a similar cultivation level are fighting here. Not only did she break her waist, but the violent toxins also polluted the ground and destroyed her roots. It’s so poisonous that it withers completely, and there’s no chance of resurrection.”
Listening to Leng Xiyue, the sense of sight came up instantly.
There is nothing spectacular, nor is there any difficulty or danger. Both the beginning and the ending are very dull. The encounter is dull, and the ending is not thrilling at all.
But it is this plain story that sounds particularly touching, and is more touching than the original legend about lovesickness and heartbreak.
[To be honest, I have been using @ recently.
If the consciousness is no longer the same, can it still be considered resurrection? The old man in front of me may not have the experience to develop a relationship with a new peach blossom demon again.
"Old man, I have my condolences..." Leng Xiyue had no choice but to comfort the Peach Blossom Demon since he couldn't save her.
Unexpectedly, Lin Sen suddenly smiled: "What's the point of condolences? Although the Peach Blossom Demon is dead, what I planted from her seeds is just an ordinary tree, but you see, the other plants around here are growing... I have to be extremely strong, how could I not be happy living in such an environment?”….
"Our hunters in Xingdou Town are all brave and good at fighting. With them hunting those warlike spirit beasts, this forest area can finally rest..."
"It's a pity that it won't be long before someone cuts him to pieces." Leng Xiyue thought to herself.
This land is so fertile that it stands to reason that after the expansion of the Star Dou Wall, the most precious forest area here can be retained, and the unique advantages here can be used to attract people to develop planting industries or carry out sustainable logging. Such a large forest It is not a problem for the district to feed hundreds of thousands of people.
The original old hunters can also change jobs and become forest rangers to protect the forest land from being dug up by bandits. In this way, they can continue to live in Xingdou Town without having to leave their hometown and go to other places.
But nobles are all driven by profit. Who cares whether you, the common people, live or die? Buy the land ownership, cut down all the ancient trees, sell it for money, and then rent it as farmland to local unscrupulous people. It won't be long before this place should be renamed the Star Dou Plain.
The old man loves this forest so much, and he will definitely not let those nobles mess around... But he is almost dead, so no one cares about his thoughts. Now let’s divide the cake. When the Star Wall is built, people will also It's almost time to die, and you won't be able to do whatever you want by then.
Looking at the old man in front of her who was very nostalgic and seemed to have nothing to do with the city, Leng Xiyue didn't want to tell him these things. If she told him, the other party couldn't change it. This was undoubtedly a kind of despair. It would be better to carry this expectation until her death. , which can be regarded as a perfect ending to the life of Duke Linsen.
At this moment, a bell suddenly sounded from the main hall in the distance.
"Haha, it seems that His Highness the Crown Prince's banquet is about to begin. Little friend, let's go."
Leng Xiyue looked at Lin Sen, but found a playful expression on his face.
He didn't say much, just picked up the crutches placed aside and walked slowly towards his castle. .
