Tan Jiajia was woken up by the cold.
As soon as she opened her eyes, all she saw was the gray sky and the vast expanse of water around her.
At this time, Tan Jiajia was floating alone in a lake, like a small boat.
The green water is as calm as a mirror. I don’t know where it came from and where it will lead.
A wet feeling came from her body, which made Tan Jiajia panic for a moment.
How did I end up in the river?
No, I have to leave quickly before my head falls off later.
She immediately raised her head, controlled her body to float in the water, checked her surroundings, and looked for a way to leave.
At this moment, the calm water surface suddenly broke into thousands of waves.
There were waves of waves coming from the bottom of the water. Tan Jiajia, who was in the water, was shaken by the vibrations and swayed with the waves.
She stretched out a hand to cover her head with difficulty, and at the same time stretched out her other hand to get the pen in her pocket, trying to use it to draw a defensive talisman.
It's just that Tan Jiajia groped around for a long time and didn't find anything.
Could it be that it fell into the water?
Tan Jiajia thought this while lowering her head and looking at the water.
The moment she lowered her head, she saw a shadow under the water rushing towards her direction.
Tan Jiajia was startled, and subconsciously hid behind her, when her back suddenly bumped into a solid lump.
At the same time, the shadow in front of him quickly revealed its true face.
It turned out to be a tree.
A tree that keeps growing.
After the tree emerged from the water, it was still branching out and growing leaves.
After a while, the tree trunk was already five or six meters above the water.
If she hadn't reacted quickly just now, she would have been pushed open by the branch.
Tan Jiajia, who was frightened, soon discovered that there were not just this one growing tree, but many more.
They emerged from the water out of thin air, and within a short time, they formed a lush forest.
Tan Jiajia swallowed her saliva and had not yet recovered from the strange scene in front of her.
The scenery in front of me changed again.
The shaking of the water surface stopped, and a withered yellow leaf fell from the air.
This seemed to be a signal. The forest, which was originally full of vitality, was rapidly declining.
The green crown of the tree turned yellow-brown, and a little spark appeared from nowhere.
Suddenly, all the trees were surrounded by the flames.
It is strange to say that the flame only burned on the tree. Tan Jiajia, who was in the sea of fire, felt the scorching temperature of the flame and did not suffer any other harm.
The fire was so fierce that it quickly devoured the forest, leaving only piles of ashes.
The dust fell into the water and actually filled the unknown lake into land.
Half of Tan Jiajia's body was also buried in the dust. She struggled to pull herself out, collapsed on the ground and muttered to herself: "Oh my god, what are these things?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she unexpectedly discovered that the soil she had just dug up suddenly turned into piles of golden sand.
“This is Jinsha??”
Tan Jiajia grabbed a handful of sand and studied it carefully, and found that the sand was really gold.
An idea came to her mind.
Could it be that...this place is actually an illusion.
Thinking of this possibility, she stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek hard, leaving a red mark immediately on her fair and tender cheek.
Hiss...it hurts. It's not an illusion.
At this moment, the golden sand in her hand suddenly turned into water and slipped through her fingers.
Um?
Before Tan Jiajia could react, she suddenly sank and returned to the lake before.
"No, come again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the water in the lake began to churn violently again.
Tan Jiajia's body swayed with the water surface without any resistance.
Everything was no different than when she had just woken up.
Thinking of what was going to happen next, Tan Jiajia couldn't help but become wary and watched the water, fearing that the tree that suddenly grew out would emerge from under her.
However, this time, a strange fragrance wafted from nowhere and entered her nostrils.
This fragrance was like a key, awakening the long-dormant greed in Tan Jiajia's body.
"Gulu...Gulu..."
Her stomach suddenly made an unsatisfactory sound.
Tan Jiajia's vision suddenly went dark, and an unclear dialogue rang out:
"Sir Immortal Official, the president invites you to come and have a meal."
"I do not need."
"Give it to me!!"
Tan Jiajia, who was on the bed, opened her eyes and sat up suddenly. Her physiological reaction made her shout subconsciously.
"..."
"..."
The sudden sound stunned the two people who were originally in the room.
Zi Tong reacted first and said to the Taoist who came to deliver the message: "Bring me some food."
"Okay, sir." The Taoist replied, then walked out and closed the door.
Tan Jiajia finally came to her senses, looked around, and found that she was in a small house. There was no sign of trees or water.
Then she asked Zi Tong, who was sitting opposite her, confused: "Why am I here?"
Zi Tong glanced at her and said, "You haven't had any rice or water for several days and you fainted in the meditation room. I brought you here..."
"No, no..." Tan Jiajia heard what he said and knew that he had misunderstood her meaning, so she quickly interrupted him.
"I wasn't in the water just now. There were dense woods and loess all over the sky. By the way, where is my pen..."
Having said this, she quickly dug through her pockets to find the pen.
But she searched her pockets and couldn't find it. Just when she was panicking, a pale hand held a brown brush and handed it to her.
"I put it away for you."
Tan Jiajia quickly took the pen over and watched Zi Tong hesitate to speak.
Zi Tong spoke again: "Don't do this nonsense again. You have to know that if I come a little later, you will starve to death in the meditation room."
Having said this, he paused and remembered that when he arrived earlier, the other party was lying on the ground dying.
An unknown fire rushed into his heart, and there was a hint of reproach in his tone: "If you don't cherish your own life, then I will never save you again in the future."
Tan Jiajia felt that the air around her had dropped significantly, and she knew that the other person was angry. He couldn't help but shrink his neck, raised his hand and swore: "I'm sorry, I promise that nothing like this will ever happen again."
After saying that, she stared at Zi Tong's reaction nervously, and saw the other person nodded slightly.
She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this matter was over.
Then, she heard Zi Tong say calmly: "Well, since you practice so diligently, let me see how you are progressing."
