Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 656 Scar on the Tree

"Ayan, look here. There is a small cave here, and there is a wild fruit tree growing beside it. In the past, every time I got angry with Master, I would run to this place to hide, and I would go back when the anger subsides in the evening."

"Also here, there is a small pool behind here. You can go there from the path at the other end. It will be early winter, and the fish are a little lazy. It will be the most lively in spring and summer when the pond is full of aquatic plants, fish and shrimp."

On the mountain road of Qiling Mountain, the little girl is like a bird that has just been released into the forest, pulling the boy to chirp.

Every time she passes by a special mountain pool and tree cave, she always pulls out some interesting little things from the depths of her memory and tells Mo Junli to listen to them.

Hearing her cheerfully chattering about those bits and pieces of the past, and seeing her increasingly flustered eyes, the boy couldn't help pulling her tighter and tighter.

He knew she was afraid, and that fear would grow stronger as she climbed to the top of the mountain.

It is still early winter in the dry and flat western region, and there is only a thin layer of snow that is as brittle as an ice shell on the mountain road.

The dead branches and fallen leaves on the road that have not completely rotted have been softened by the snow water. When the two of them walked on such a forest path, they could only hear the sound of thin ice cracking in their ears. It is stepping on mud that has never been muddy.

"A Yan, have you seen that old elm tree over there?" Mu Xici grabbed Mo Junli's hand and pointed at the old tree ten feet away, with an excited tone, "The one who just went up the mountain in the previous life When I grow up small, the master always says that I am so short that I can't even fold the bottom leaf, and I can't even jump up."

"Then one day I got angry, and I really ran to jump and break the leaves that were hanging down from it," the little girl grinned. "As a result, I was too short to pick the leaves, so I threw myself on the ground."

"Master ran out to look for me. Seeing that I fell to the ground and refused to get up, he couldn't help laughing. Later, in order to coax me, he took a magic sword and drew a line on the trunk of the old tree according to my height at that time. "

"He said that this tree is an old tree that has grown for more than ten years, and now it can grow three to five inches in a year, which is about the same speed as me - he draws a line like this, and I can grow taller with that tree gone."

"It can even outgrow this old tree and reach as high as the sky."

"Actually, he said this to coax children to play." Master Mu said with a smile and rolled his almond eyes, "I know, but I was still coaxed by him at that time."

"Did Ah Ci grow that tree later?" Mo Junli followed her and curled the corners of his lips.

Listening to her talking about those old things, he was in a trance, as if he saw the old urchin-like Taoist poking the old elm tree with a magic sword, fooling the little girl who threw himself all over the dirt and grass leaves.

"It has grown, of course it has." Mu Xici bared his teeth, "After all, the tree grows mainly from the top, and the bottom grows very slowly. I grew it in the second year. When I go down the mountain, then The cut marks are half a foot shorter than the top of my hair."

"However, it should not be there now."

In this life, she had never been brought back to Liuyun Temple by the master, so the master naturally didn't have to coax that stupid little apprentice who threw herself to the ground.

All this is destined to only exist in her memory.

"...Look, there really is no trace of the magic sword on this tree." The little girl who walked to the side of the old tree stared blankly at the smooth and complete bark of the tree without any scars. His eyes were red for no reason.

——All of this really can only exist in her memory.

She suddenly felt a little sad, and an indescribable sense of sadness suddenly surrounded her.

Seeing this, Mo Junli wanted to raise his hand to touch the top of her hair, but unexpectedly, his gaze was firmly attracted by a strange scar on the tree at this moment.

It looked like a gash cut by a sharp weapon, three inches wide and narrow, just one foot above his head.

This is probably an old scar, and the growing elm has already squeezed it into a small finger-deep depression. Looking at the depression, he couldn't help trembling his voice: "A Ci, look quickly——"

"Look at the top, one foot and seven inches above your head, is that the scratch you mentioned?"

"What?" Mu Xici stared blankly, and subconsciously raised her eyes in the direction the boy said. She took two steps back, raised her head and stared at the tree trunk for a closer look, and she really saw the small sunken road. trace.

"This... this may be a coincidence." The little girl was dazed, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

She slowly recalled what she saw after entering the mountain, the auras and formations in the mountain that she was extremely familiar with, and the old elm tree in front of her.

The trunk of this tree seems to be thicker than when she first came down the mountain.

This... no way.

A gleam of inspiration flashed through Mu Xici's mind, and she suddenly thought of an unrealistic possibility, at least that should never happen in this world——

The panic in the little girl's eyes was even worse, but in the next breath she suddenly remembered something - even she and Mo Junli could be resurrected from the dead, and lived a lifetime, what else is impossible in this world?

...That's right, what else is impossible in this world?

"Ayan, you come with me." Mu Xici settled down, then pulled the young man, striding towards the Liuyun Temple on the top of the mountain in his memory.

After rebirth, she has never wanted to hurry back to Liuyun Temple like this moment.

Before, she was afraid that her old friend would meet again but not know her, she was afraid that her master would no longer recognize her, and she was also afraid that the last home hidden in her heart would no longer be her home... But now, she just wants to run back as soon as possible.

Maybe she was thinking about it wrongly, the master has such profound knowledge... what else in this world can be hidden from him?
The little girl hurriedly stepped over a bluestone lying in the middle of the mountain road, and for no reason, she recalled what her master had said to her in her previous life.

He asked her if she still remembered the way back to Qiling Mountain. If she remembered the way, she could come to the mountain to find him at any time after returning home.

But in her previous life, she was too busy to find time to look for him... In this life, she also waited until this time before she developed the courage to look for him.

Not sure... What did he mean by now?
Mu Xici only felt that his head was a mess, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

She led Mo Junli in the mountain according to the formation, and walked around for half an hour, and finally arrived in front of the small Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

The little girl kicked her knees and gasped for a while, before she dared to raise her eyes to look at the Taoist temple.

The azurite plaque hanging on the door was still the same as she remembered, but the closed wooden door and the blue tiles on the wall seemed a little older than what she remembered.

The door has never been locked, so there must be someone in the audience?
Standing by the door, Mu Xici was full of hesitation. She stood there in a daze for a long time, until the sweat on her forehead was blown cool and dry by the mountain wind, then she cautiously stepped forward and knocked on the door lightly.
