(Jealousy in the world is most likely caused by love)
Lan Feng and Hai Yesheng looked at the sapling and listened to Granny Wuyan say: "During the eternal change, a meteor shower burning with fire appeared in the sky. These sparks fell all over the world, and one of them fell on In the hills where the Wu clan is located.
However, these sparks did not burn the surrounding land, but instead caused the vegetation on the land where they were located to flourish and revive.
I don’t know how many years passed, but a seed sprouted from the star stone that fell from the sky.
The seeds grow in response to the wind, grow one inch in the sun, grow one foot in the rain and dew, are not afraid of wind and snow, and have dozens of branches in one spring and autumn.
Ten years later, the seed grew into a big tree, with a trunk like suet and leaves like red fire. A strange person named it 'Maple'. "
Maple tree? Hearing this, Lan Feng could probably guess that the spark that came to this world eons ago should be the broken root system of the Fire Wutong.
Granny NaBuyan continued: "The maple tree absorbed the dragon energy of the mountains, the essence of the sun and the moonlight in the hills, and over time began to produce a trace of fire in the body. But this fire does not bring destruction like ordinary fire, but sets off The maple tree gave birth to two fire cocoons.
As a result, the life in this cocoon grew bigger and bigger in this maple tree. Finally, one winter night, the crescent moon rose from the top of the mountain. When a ray of silver light touched the top of the maple tree, a sound of cocoon breaking was heard from the tree.
Reflecting the moonlight, a hole was torn in the trunk of the maple tree, and two fire butterflies flew out from inside.
From then on, the two fire butterflies flew around in the hills and returned to the maple tree to rest at sunset. As they flew farther and farther, they gradually got to know the human race. When they saw the human race living, resting, singing and laughing in the mountains and forests, their yearning for this kind of life became stronger and stronger.
But they knew that they were not the same kind of creatures as humans, so they began to learn how to transform into human beings on this maple tree.
They use the fallen leaves and broken branches of maple trees to cultivate their bodies. In ten years they outline their appearance, in a hundred years their facial features have grown, and in a thousand years they have been refined into sinews, bones and skin.
These are a pair of sister models, both in body shape and face. They woven cocoon clothes into red clothes to cover their bodies, and walked into the world hand in hand.
They lived and worked together with the people in the mountains. Seeing that the sisters had pure hearts, the people gave them a pair of names. The elder sister was called "Maple Spirit" and the younger sister was called "Maple Mirror". But slowly, the sisters discovered that these people did not stay young forever like themselves, and would reach the end of their lives after a hundred years.
They were unable to reverse this outcome, and could only watch the people they loved die bit by bit. Later, younger sister Feng Jing couldn't bear the pain and ran back to the maple tree alone, but older sister Feng Ling saw that these people had other plans.
People will grow old and die, but if they can find a group of immortal beings like themselves, then they and their sister will not be sad.
Sister Maple Ling finalized this idea, turned into a butterfly alone and went to the mountains to look for it. She asked about the flowers, and the flowers said that I wither for one year; she asked about the grass, and the grass said that I am food for cattle and horses; she asked about Changfeng, and the wind said that I love myself and the world never stops; she asked about the rain, and the rain said that I Moisturize everything and leave no trace...
Finally one day, Maple Spirit was so tired that she sat by a stream. She had been away from the maple tree for too long, and her strength was disappearing from her body little by little. At this time, a stream of clear water passed by her mouth. She opened her eyes vaguely and saw a naked young man holding a leaf and bringing the clear water to her mouth.
Maple Ling was startled and quickly stood up and stepped aside. She saw that this young man had long dark blue hair and a faint wave mark on his forehead, and his lower body was connected to the stream beside him.
This young man was a water spirit practicing in the stream. When he saw Maple Spirit fainting by the stream, he came over to help her. Maple Ling looked at the water spirit infatuatedly. The two exchanged identities. Maple Ling learned from him that his name was "Youxi".
As both spirits of heaven and earth, You Xi transferred his own power to Maple Spirit, and the two told each other about their lives by the stream. After going back and forth, the two people actually began to fall in love with each other, but Maple Spirit always thought about his sister, so she said goodbye to Youxi and returned to the maple tree. Before leaving, Youxi also promised that the next time the mountain rain comes, he will take advantage of the rain and dew to meet Maple Spirit.
When she returned to the maple tree, Feng Ling saw her younger sister Feng Jing sitting on a branch with her head dazed, so she told her about herself and You Xi. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Fengjing also became very curious about the river. The two sisters waited quietly on the maple tree for the rain to come.
At the end of the new year and winter, a spring rain fell for five days and five nights. The two sisters, Feng Ling and Feng Jing, sat on a branch and looked at the heavy rain that turned into white mist in the distance, but the person they were longing for never came.
Maple Spirit was a little sad. This was the first time she had made a promise with someone else. Disappointed, she muttered and turned into a butterfly and flew into the maple tree. But his younger sister Feng Jing didn't take it seriously. When he saw that the person Feng Ling was talking about didn't come, he jumped down from the branch to see the rabbit under the tree.
The rabbit nest was flooded by the rain, and a nest of rabbits stood under the maple tree and screamed. They were not afraid when Feng Jing jumped down, and ran to Feng Jing one by one and curled up. The maple mirror smiled and emitted fire to help them dry the rabbit fur.
At this moment, Feng Jing didn't notice that the rainwater on the side began to flow backwards, and the entangled water patterns turned into a young man.
When You Xi came, he stood behind Feng Jing and squatted down quietly. He put one hand around Feng Jing's neck and the other around Feng Jing's ankles, and suddenly he hugged Feng Jing!
The rabbits at Feng Jing's feet scattered, and she herself was surprised. But before she could react, You Xi touched Feng Jing's forehead with her lips.
Feng Jing stared blankly at You Xi and was speechless for a moment, but all this was actually seen by Feng Ling who had just poked his head out of the maple tree!
It turns out that the two sisters, Maple Spirit and Maple Mirror, have identical voices and looks, but You Xi mistakenly mistook Maple Mirror for Maple Spirit!
At this moment, Maple Ling's heart felt as if she had been severely cut by a knife. She ran towards the mountain crying, and You Xi also knew that she had kissed the wrong person, so she hurriedly chased after her. However, this kiss pried away the love in Feng Jing's heart.
Youxi caught up with Feng Ling and explained the reason to her, but the seed called 'jealousy' had already sprouted in her heart.
Fengjing also began to miss Youxi, and the relationship between the two sisters was no longer as innocent as before. Every time Feng Jing sees her sister and You Xi together, she longs for this kind of relationship in her heart.
Driven by desire, she finally approached Youxi again. She pretended to be her sister and began to steal Youxi's love, but the piece of paper was finally broken. The furious Maple Spirit took advantage of the two people's private meeting to ignite a fire and burn their lifelines, while their spiritual consciousness was sealed in the maple tree.
She didn't understand why the person she loved most would hurt her, and she began to hate her. Every full moon, she would go down to the place where the human race was to suck away the souls of unfaithful men and women, and become the nourishment of the maple tree. The soil underneath slowly began to turn black. "
Lan Feng said: "How did you know this story?"
Fuyan's mother-in-law turned her eyes and stared at the saplings beside her. She sighed and said: "Sixty years ago, my husband and I went to the mountains to collect medicine. We walked for four days and nights, filling the bags full of medicine. . Just as we were walking down the mountain, we saw a bright moon appearing on the top of the mountain.
The middle of the moon is blocked by the mountain, and the sharp horns on both sides are like a pair of horns on the mountain! At this time, a beam of red light lit up at the foot of the mountain. My husband and I were surprised and thought there was some rare elixir growing at the foot of the mountain. We followed the red light and looked for it.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw the fiery maple tree. And tragedy also happened at this time.
Just as we were about to get closer to inspect the maple tree, a fiery red snake suddenly sprang out from under my husband's feet. It jumped up and bit my husband's wrist.
We were both startled, and hurriedly rummaged through the medicine bag to find the herbal medicine to detoxify the snake, but the poison came too quickly. By the time I found the herb, my husband's face had turned purple-black...
For a moment, my mind was completely stunned. I hugged him and knelt in front of the maple tree and kept crying. Finally, the maple spirit appeared. She told me that she could save my husband, but my husband would turn into a tree, and I would have to guard this tree for the rest of my life and not change my mind..."
When Lan Feng and Hai Yesheng heard this, they looked at the sapling beside them in surprise. They knew in their hearts that this sapling was the husband of Fuyan's mother-in-law...
At this time, tears began to well up in the eyes of Fuyan's mother-in-law: "You think...what other choice do you have? The wind and rain have supported me for half a lifetime, and suddenly it is gone. At that time, I just wanted him to live and turn into a tree or something." I don’t even care! It’s even more impossible to say a change of heart...
The Maple Spirit couldn't believe me, so he took a stingworm from under the maple tree and injected it with the fire energy of the maple tree so that I could eat it. She said, if one day my heart changes, this stinging insect will release its fire and burn me to ashes. "
"Is this the Love Gu rumored by the outside world?" Lan Feng was shocked.
Fuyan's mother-in-law nodded: "The fates of our lives are intertwined. Since we love each other, why should we be afraid of this shackles?"
After Lan Feng and Hai Yesheng heard this story, they didn't know whether it had anything to do with the Wuyue clan, but the birth of the maple tree was inextricably linked to the fire sycamore tree. Even if it was Feng Yi's fault, they should deserve it. Take this trip.
Furthermore, no one from the Wu Clan could find any clues about Wu Yue. Since the maple tree is an eternal stub, it will definitely see more things than the people of the Wu Clan here. In this case, why not ask the maple spirit?
Lan Feng said: "Mother-in-law, can you tell us the route to the maple tree?"
Fuyan's mother-in-law said: "What are you two doing there? It's a place of right and wrong. I advise you not to delve into it."
Lanfeng smiled and said: "We are waiting for the gods, but the maple tree can't help us. Besides, if we can learn about the Wuyue clan from his mouth, we can go to the higher-ups."
Fu Yan's mother-in-law didn't refuse after hearing what Lan Feng said. She led Lan Feng and Hai Yesheng back to the house, took out a pen and paper and sketched a topographic map.
She pointed to a mountainous area above and said: "It was probably at this location. After so many years, I can't remember it clearly. But one thing is certain. When the crescent moon rises, it looks like a pair of horns growing on the top of the mountain. "
Lanfeng took the topographic map, and the two of them thanked the silent mother-in-law and turned around and walked towards the hanging tower.
