The old lady was silent for a long time, looked at Gu Yuan who was full of curiosity, and said: "The Li family has lasted for so many years. It is impossible for every Li family member to be a good person. Besides, it is not so easy to distinguish between good and evil. Even the guardian of the sacred tree sometimes takes the wrong path."
Gu Yuan suddenly became interested.
"Then what should we do if this really happens?"
"The sacred tree will take the initiative to terminate the contract and re-select the next guardian." The old lady wrote lightly.
Gu Yuan clicked his tongue twice.
All the right to interpret feelings lies with the Bronze Sacred Tree!
You can choose your own guardian, and you can change it at any time if you are unhappy. It sounds like a goddess changing a licking dog.
Gu Yuan touched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "So, the bronze sacred tree also has thoughts, and can even identify the good and evil of a person, right?"
"When a person chooses to do many evil things, do you think he can live longer? How can the sacred tree coexist with such a person?" the old lady said bluntly.
"Is that the reason?"
"This is just speculation. Maybe the sacred tree is really thoughtful as you said." The old lady said.
She was quite patient with Gu Yuan.
The old lady also knew in her heart that Gu Yuan would be confused a lot as he had just become the guardian of the Bronze Sacred Tree.
Gu Yuan rubbed his arm, looked at the old lady, and asked another question.
"You told me before that on the fifteenth day of every month, you can enter the sacred tree space to improve your strength, and sometimes you can also use the power of part of the sacred tree."
"Um."
"Now that the guardian of the sacred tree has become me, what should Captain Li do? He is still fighting bloody battles with the demon clan in Northern Xinjiang. Suddenly losing contact with the sacred tree, wouldn't his strength be greatly reduced?"
The old lady's expression suddenly became strange.
She looked at Gu Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Do you really want to know?"
"That's natural."
"That's all, let me tell you. Anyway, even if you know, you can't regret it."
Hearing this, Gu Yuan's expression immediately changed.
He suddenly realized that establishing a connection with the sacred tree and becoming the guardian of the sacred tree might not be a good thing for him, or in other words, it had pros and cons.
In order for him to become the guardian of the sacred tree, the old lady talked about a lot of the benefits of becoming a guardian.
But how can there be so many things in the world that only have advantages and no disadvantages?
You want to eat but you are too lazy to open your mouth. How in the world can such a good thing happen?
The old lady turned her back and walked toward the barrier. As she walked, she said: "With Li Siming's strength, he no longer needs to rely on the power of the sacred tree. Contrary to what you think, the existence of the sacred tree, Now it cannot bring much help to Li Siming, but it will become a constraint for him."
"Restraint?"
"Because he is the guardian of the sacred tree, when his strength reaches a peak, he can no longer break through. Absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth will only become the nutrients absorbed by the sacred tree."
The expression on Gu Yuan's face froze instantly.
The old lady stopped, turned to look at Gu Yuan and said: "In other words, for Li Siming, the current sacred tree is no longer his help, but is his shackles and a seal. Unless he and the gods are lifted, The connection between trees, otherwise, we can never take another step forward.”
Gu Yuan also understood.
The old lady smiled and said: "Li Siming went to Northern Xinjiang, so he asked you to come to the capital to succeed him as the guardian of the sacred tree. First, he was worried that he would die in Northern Xinjiang, and when he came, he also noticed the situation in Northern Xinjiang. Yan Yan, he can no longer stand still, but needs to unlock the seal and continue to improve his strength, do you understand?"
Gu Yuan stomped his feet angrily.
"How could you tell me such an important thing now!"
"You didn't ask before. Besides, let me tell you, what should I do if you are not happy? But it doesn't matter now. As the guardian of the sacred tree, you have no chance to regret it." The old lady said happily.
At this moment, the wrinkles on her face seemed to relax.
Gu Yuan: "..."
What the old lady said was so reasonable that for a moment, Gu Yuan didn't know how to refute it.
Looking at Gu Yuan like an eggplant whipped by frost, the old lady comforted him: "Don't be pessimistic. With your current strength, it's still early to reach the level of Li Siming. Besides, at worst, by that time, you will learn from Li Siming and start again." If you choose a guardian, doesn’t that break the seal?”
Gu Yuan said "Hmm". It seemed that there were still many places he needed to explore on this Bronze Sacred Tree.
"Tidy up, it's time to go out." The old lady said, "You have been here for so long, it's time to go out and see the sunshine."
"Can you go out now?"
"Well, let's go to Guanlong Mountain by the way."
Before Gu Yuan could speak, the old lady had already walked out of the barrier.
…
On Guanlong Mountain.
Ling Guiyu and Ling Shan followed Cui Yingxiong and rushed towards Elder Ai's residence.
"Master Cui, tell me the truth. Elder Ai asked me to come here. Have you already found Gu Yuan?" Ling Guiyu said in a somewhat urgent tone.
Cui Yingxiong looked at him, laughed, and said: "Don't embarrass me. The task I received is to invite you over. Elder Ai didn't tell me the reason. I will see Elder Ai soon." Well, why don’t you go and ask in person?”
Lingshan, who was following Ling Guiyu, said excitedly: "Dad, don't worry, Elder Ai invites you over at this juncture, there must be news!"
Cui Yingxiong on the side did not speak, but frowned slightly.
Ling Guiyu immediately realized something, his expression became serious, he turned to look at Lingshan, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Elder Ai sent me here, not invited me! Don't be vague with your words!"
Lingshan's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Cui Yingxiong, his eyes a little nervous. Cui Yingxiong just smiled, pretending to be casual and looked around with his hands behind his back, as if nothing happened.
Lingshan was relieved.
Although the word "please" and the word "pass" have similar functions, when placed here, their meanings are completely different.
Soon, Cui Yingxiong stopped and turned to look at Ling Guiyu.
"Elder Ai should be waiting for you inside. Please come in."
"Um."
Just when Lingshan was about to follow Ling Guiyu in, Cui Yingxiong pulled him calmly.
"Lingshan, I heard that you like to drink tea on weekdays. I just got two new boxes of tea. Why don't you help me taste them and give them a critical review?"
Lingshan was stunned and looked at Ling Guiyu, who also understood at this time and smiled: "Watch what I do, go quickly."
"Yes!" Lingshan nodded and left with Cui Yingxiong.
