I, the sycamore tree demon, have met a phoenix!

Old Man Liu smiled and shook his head.

The blood-smelling breeze slowly blew across the high platform from a distance, shaking his white beard and the hem of his old clothes slightly.

_-【[*

Without the interruption of those people, the surrounding environment became quiet again.

It was like this for a while in silence.

Only then did Old Master Liu's voice sound again.

"Do you know why I took the initiative to come to this White River City?"

Hearing this, Lin Wu immediately understood that the other party wanted to confide in him.

And it didn't refuse, but followed the other party's topic and asked very cooperatively.

"why?"

But Mr. Liu didn't answer directly, but opened his eyes that had been squinting all the time, raised his head, and looked up at the dark clouds that covered the sky all day long.

"I, since I was a child, have grown up in the kindness of others..."

"When I was ten years old, a famine started in the entire southern part of the country. The drought lasted for a whole year, and all the fields in the village became barren, and everyone was starving."

"Coupled with the incidents of monsters cannibalizing people in other surrounding villages due to the famine, our whole village united together and made a bold decision."

"That's collective northward migration..."

"No way, it's fine if there is a famine, but under this famine, there are still extremely hungry monsters cannibalizing people everywhere. This situation where misfortunes never come singly makes everyone dare not stay in the village for fear that those monsters will go down. The one who attacked was our village."

"After the decision was made, every household brought their valuables, and then took advantage of the cool weather that night and left directly to the north."

"And the kindness I encountered for the first time was at that time..."

"I still remember that at that time, everyone in the village met a group of robbers on the official road leading to Qingcang City after advancing for four days."

"At that time, the robbers wanted not only our belongings, but also all the women and female relatives in our accompanying team, and everyone definitely disagreed, so it was at that time that our team moving north was arrested. The robbers rushed into chaos, and I was also knocked out by the robbers in the chaos."

"When I woke up, it was already dark, and there were corpses all around. I couldn't see the direction of the road, and I couldn't find where my parents were. I could only wander around like headless chickens. Know exactly what to do."

"In a daze, a passing businessman saved me."

Speaking of this, Mr. Liu couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and then he continued to talk with a smile.

"The merchant treated me very well. After hearing about my situation, he was filled with righteous indignation. He not only gave me a lot of food, but also changed my clothes, left a sum of money, and sent me to Qing Dynasty. In Cangcheng..."

"It's a pity that I didn't ask his name until he left the city."

"And this is just the first act of kindness I have received."

"After that, I lived alone in that city. Although I was young, the people in the city were very kind. I didn't encounter any difficulties. I quickly found a job in the city. Lived in an old carpenter's house."

"The carpenter has a bad temper. Whenever something goes wrong, he will run outside to buy wine and drink cursing. His character of squandering the little money he makes also makes him always full. Hungry for a meal, and sometimes I can only go hungry."

"But... when those rich people recruited children who were willing to practice martial arts in the city, he ignored his face and went door to door asking for money from others, just to help me get this name and let me learn martial arts. After doing this, I will be more promising in the future..."

"After that, I also successfully became a disciple of the local family."

Old man Liu raised his withered palm and shook it slightly.

Lin Wu immediately felt a power that was completely different from the demon power appearing in his hands.

And that is probably internal force.

That is, the "monster power" of human beings.

"Then, is that not the only thing you want to say?"

"Ha ha……"

Mr. Liu chuckled, "If I had to tell everything, I might not be able to finish it all day. I want to say it, but I don't have so much time to finish it all."

"I just want to tell you that I have grown up in the goodwill of this world since I was a child, and now, I am already in my old age. If I don't do anything else, I will be ashamed of the things I have been receiving all this time. Is it kind?"

...that sounds pretty simple.

Lin Wu couldn't help giving his own evaluation in his heart.

To put it simply, the reason why the other party came to Baihe City to fight against the red ghosts and save the common people was because he had been helped by others since he was a child.

And now that I am old, I have begun to do my best to help others...

"So, do you have confidence in breaking through tomorrow?"

"……No."

Mentioning this, Mr. Liu was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head.

"The red ghost is very strong, but the Dragon Head Staff is too heavy a burden on me. I guess whether I win tomorrow or not, I will leave this world under the monstrous fire in the city..."

"After all, my fate has come to an end. Now, even if I give up everything and do nothing, I won't live long..."

"Then if you fall, can the people in the city escape?" Lin Wu asked calmly.

However, Mr. Liu responded with a smile, "Indeed, if I fall, there will be no one to stop the Red Ghost. At that time, everyone will probably be buried in this White River City."

"So, if that happens, please pick up the dragon head staff and help me fulfill this last wish..."

Chapter 48: The Long River Disappeared in the Mountains

After getting a general understanding of the situation in Baihe City, Lin Wu cut off the connection from the system again, and returned to the open space in the mountains.

Old Master Liu's last words surprised him.

Unexpectedly, the other party would trust it, a monster who had only seen it for a day, and was willing to give him the dragon head stick as a reward.

And in this way, he would be able to obtain another magic weapon besides Earth Fiend.But this magic weapon can only be obtained after he stops the red ghost and makes all the people in the city escape from danger.

So, now I still have to solve the problem of controlling my magic weapon first...

"Master Qingwu."

Liu Ya's calling sounded suddenly.

Lin Wu's thoughts were interrupted abruptly.

"Ok?"

It immediately sensed the other party, and found that the girl standing at the bottom of the tree had a wooden basket at her feet, and inside the wooden basket were brown fruits the size of fingernails.

"This is bamboo rice..."

Lin Wu immediately thought of something.

Although it has never seen such a thing as bamboo rice, after all, it just said it yesterday, so what the other party brought over today can't be anything else.

only……

These fruits are very few, and there are only half a basket in total.

"Is there only so much?" Lin Wu was a little puzzled.

"Yes……"

Liu Ya nodded, "Grandpa said that it takes about five to sixty years for bamboo to bear fruit once. The sixth master who went up the mountain this time searched half of the bamboo forest, and only found this little."

"what?"

Hearing this, Lin Wu was stunned.

"How many years did you say the result?"

"...five or sixty years."

How can it be so long? !

Lin Wu was shocked immediately.

Fruit every five or sixty years? ?

Isn't this longer than the time since I came to this world?

No, or this is even longer than the time I have experienced since I was born!

It turns out that there are still plants in the world that take 50 years to bear fruit?No wonder it is said that this is the favorite food of the legendary Phoenix.

Originally, it wanted to bring some more of this kind of thing back, and then plant a bunch of them around here, but in the end...

How long do you have to wait for them to bear fruit for the first time if they are planted?I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for hundreds of years.

But forget it...

That's all for now. Anyway, there should be a lot of bamboo forests in other places in the bamboo forest mountain range. When the time comes, let people go to look for them, and they should be able to find a lot of bamboo rice.

And now...

Ok?

Where is my Phoenix?

Lin Wu felt the bird's nest on his body, and found that the big bird with magnificent feathers was not in the nest at this time, and he didn't know where it went.

........................

"I still can't find my way at all..."

Flying high above the sky, Danniao observed the mountains and rivers below,

But still could not find any trace of the river.

And about this point, it also asked the big monsters who lived on other mountains in the distance today, and the answers they got were all saying that the river had disappeared in a severe drought decades ago. gone.

However, all the people and demons don't remember how the river disappeared. They only know that they didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning. It wasn't until they realized that there should be a river here that they realized that the river was no longer there. .

It's as if its existence has been directly erased by someone, which is extremely strange.

And what disappeared with the river was the Qiankun Lake surrounded by mountains, including even the thousand-year-old demon flower roe deer guarding the edge of Qiankun Lake.

Obviously before that, the other party would occasionally leave the lake and wander around a few times, looking for the surrounding monsters to chase them and ask various questions.

But since the severe drought, the roe deer has never appeared again.

It's like disappearing into this world directly...

And this information completely puzzled Danniao.

How could such a big river disappear just because of a severe drought.

Even if the severe drought really directly evaporated the entire river, at least the riverbed under the river should remain in the valley, right?

But now it can't even find the river bed.

Coupled with the disappearance of Qiankun Lake and the roe deer...

This matter is definitely not simple.

Especially the guy with the roe deer, if the disappearance of the river and Qiankun Lake was erased from the mountains by a powerful existence with some ability, then it is still possible.

But the roe deer is different from those rivers and lakes that don't even have consciousness.

Although it has a bad brain, a little low intelligence, a little courage, and is not good at fighting or communicating...

but.

In any case, that guy lived longer than himself. If there are any monsters in the world whose power can reach the shackles of ten thousand years a few hundred years ago, then the roe deer is definitely one of them.

But it just disappeared without a sound...

No, or think about it from another angle, maybe the disappearance of the river and Qiankun Lake is its handwriting?

But judging by its monster power, it probably doesn't have the ability to do this kind of thing...
