Unseen Immortal of Three Hundred Years

There are thousands and thousands of plants and trees in the world, and although extremely tall ones are not seen everywhere, they are not unusual at all in the wilderness or in places like Zhaoye City.

Therefore, for three hundred years, no one has ever thought that there is anything special about the towering tree in Que Bu Luo's courtyard.

Not to mention other people, even people who have lived in Quebuluo for decades didn't notice anything was wrong with the tree.

For example, Ning Huaishan.

Ning Huaishan was staying in the small building behind closed doors, thinking about his past, holding his sleeves in his hands and squinting at the people outside the door. He transmitted messages one at a time and another at a time, struggling for nearly half a day, until it was getting late and it was about to fall into the night. Fang Chu was willing to move his legs and walked over to look at him unhurriedly.

Ning Huaishan originally thought that now that he had a mouth to talk to, he no longer had to talk to himself here to pass the time. For this reason, he even reluctantly forgave Fang Chu for his previous lack of enthusiasm.

However, he was not happy for long before he was beaten back to his original shape with a stick.

Because although Fang Chu came to see him, he didn't talk much. He chattered for a long time, and Fang Chu only answered half a sentence. He was obviously absent-minded and perfunctory!

Ning Huaishan made a donkey face and said: Hey, aren't you here to see me? What's the matter with you always pointing the back of your head at me? Why are you always looking over there? What's there to see? ?”

Fang Chu did not panic and replied calmly: There is the city lord over there. You are shut up in the building and thinking about your mistakes. Naturally, I can't relax. I should watch for a while.

Ning Huaishan opened his mouth and said: Fart! Who are you trying to fool? Do you think I'm stupid or blind?

Fang Chu was startled for a moment, then finally withdrew his gaze for a moment and glanced inside the door.

Even though he was separated by a door, he seemed to be able to see Ning Huaishan, and his eyes fell on Ning Huaishan impartially.

Ning Huaishan raised his hand and pointed at the courtyard and said, Show me the back of your head so I can't see it? You are obviously staring at that place in a daze. You are not looking at the city lord's door at all. You can't relax for a moment...

Fang Chu looked at him through the door for a long time, then turned back and said, That's right, you can see any movement.

Ning Huaishan frowned: What you said today is really weird.

Fang Chu: What's so strange?

Ning Huaishan said: Everything is strange...

He peered through the crack in the door, his dark eyes suddenly half-closed, and stared at Fang Chu without blinking for a while, then suddenly said: Tell the truth -

Fang Chu raised his eyes and looked at him.

Ning Huaishan said: Did you encounter something in Luohuashan City? Every time you are worried, you always look like this.

When Fang Chu heard his words half dead, his eyes moved slightly. But there was no answer, and he just turned his head back.

Ning Huaishan followed his line of sight and only saw the towering tree in the courtyard. He muttered angrily: What's there to see in that tree? Is it particularly easy to be in a daze or something?

After a while, he heard Fang Chu say slowly: I didn't have the chance to... take a closer look.

Ning Huaishan sneered and said: What's wrong, you are so pretentious. Don't tell me it's because you haven't been able to come back for twenty-five years. It's not easy to see anything in the courtyard now.

Fang Chu glanced at him again and said, We're close.

Ning Huaishan rolled his eyes, but did not scoff again.

Compared with his character, Fang Chu does have more thoughts. It’s been so many years since I’ve been back, so it’s not surprising that I stare at the trees and flowers in the yard and sigh with emotion. Ning Huaishan reluctantly endured his sourness and agreed: But it's really not easy. Look at the people surrounding us. Everyone is staring at this side, but they can't even see a tree. clear.

Fang Chu didn't know what he thought of, he laughed and said, What you said...

Ning Huaishan: What's wrong with my words? Is there a problem?

Fang Chu said: No.

He paused and then said: That's right. How many people want to see this tree, but they will never see it in their lifetime.

Ning Huaishan: That's right!

As we all know, it is impossible to see clearly what is in the courtyard when standing outside the Quebuluo courtyard. Even this towering tree is lingering in the clouds and mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

For a moment, even Ning Huai's shirt was stained with a bit of sour smell, and he actually felt that every plant and tree in this courtyard was worth talking about. He also looked at the giant tree in a daze for a while and murmured: Speaking of which, this tree seems to have never changed...

Fang Chu didn't look back. He was quiet for a while and replied: Yes.

Has it ever bloomed or bear fruit? Ning Huaishan suddenly realized that he had lived in this house for decades. He could see this tree every day when he looked up, but it seemed that he had never looked at it carefully.

So much so that when I try to think back now, I am not even sure whether the tree has bloomed or fallen leaves.

He thought it was because he was careless and didn't pay attention. Unexpectedly, after he finished asking, he didn't hear Fang Chu's answer for a long time.

Ning Huaishan was always straightforward and said immediately: You used to just look at the courtyard in a daze when you had nothing to do, just like you do now. You can't answer it, right?

Fang Chu: ...

Ning Huaishan laughed and said: Hey, it looks like the real thing. So you are the same as me? Every time the city lord said that I was mean-spirited, I was really unjust!

In Ning Huaishan's impression, this tree seemed to have remained unchanged for decades.

It should have never bloomed. If such a big tree bloomed, it would be very eye-catching. Ning Huaishan muttered, and suddenly

Suddenly surprised.

If it were before, he would definitely not think too much about it. After all, it was just a tree...

This kind of towering tree might attract a few glances elsewhere, but it is not unusual at all in Zhaoye City. Evil demons gathered in Zhaoye City, and each of those demon mansions and caves failed to abide by the city's rules.

Not to mention there is a big tree in the yard, some evil spirits even have their own caves that are just a tree - they say they can't stand the earth's atmosphere and can't live in the house, so they erect a tree on the spot and make a hole between the branches. It has a huge nest and lives in it all day without touching the ground.

All weird things will become commonplace in Zhaoye City, and no one will think that a tree is worth thinking about.

But Ning Huaishan is different now.

In the high tower of the Feng family, he had seen the phantom of the sacred tree appearing in front of his city lord.

With the phantom of the sacred tree in front of him, he looked at the tree in the courtyard differently. He always felt that this tree had something to do with the sacred tree.

He subconsciously arched his elbow, wanting to discuss it quietly with Fang Chu, but instead he arched his elbow against the door: Hiss——

Fang Chu turned to look at him.

Ning Huaishan said quickly: Nothing, nothing, I was distracted. I was just thinking, do you think this tree will...

Fang Chu listened quietly, seemingly infinitely patient with the tree.

But before Ning Huaishan finished speaking, he shook his head again, Probably not, I just imagined it.

The sacred tree that appeared in the Feng family's high tower was just a shadow, but it was so brilliant that it was impossible to take one's eyes away. It naturally carried an indescribable celestial spirit and divinity. But this tree in the yard...well.

He thought about it carefully and determined that this tree had never bloomed, never produced fruit, and had not even withered and fallen leaves. It seemed that whenever he looked up, it always looked lush and green, just like the trees in the mountains. Some evergreen trees stay the same for decades or even centuries, and at most they accumulate some snow in winter.

Precisely because it looks the same every time I look at it, it never arouses any surprise.

His only impression of this tree was that it looked like a pavilion but was lifeless. No birds had ever landed on it, hence the name The Birds Never Fall.

This is very different from the phantom of the sacred tree. They are completely different.

Ning Huaishan was making random guesses and overturning in his mind when he suddenly heard Fang Chu say: What you said is meaningless. If there is anything you don't understand, just go back and ask the city lord.

Ning Huaishan said subconsciously: What's the use of asking the city lord? He went to Canglang Northern Territory and forgot everything. We are not familiar with Que Buluo now, and we still ask him, maybe he wants to Ask us in turn——

Before the word two came out of his mouth, he suddenly stopped speaking, and the fingers in his sleeves tightened suddenly!

its not right!

Ning Huaishan's mind thundered - Wu Xingxue couldn't remember anything, and he and Fang Chu knew this very well. How could Fang Chu say something like ask the city lord? !

He raised his eyes suddenly and looked through the crack in the door at the people outside.

***

At that moment, Fang Chu outside the door was also thoughtful. He heard Fang Chu's words, The city lord has forgotten everything, and we are not familiar with Que Buluo yet, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

While he was deep in thought, the owner of the Li house in Zhaoye City suddenly made some movement.

Feng Xue Li was slowly lighting the lamps in the Disciple Hall. More than thirty exquisite cage candles illuminated the disciple hall brightly. When he lit the last lamp, he paused.

The next moment, he straightened up, looked in a certain direction, held the lamp and walked out the door.

Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed him and asked, Master, what is this?

Feng Xueli said: Go out.

Laughing Fox: Where to go?

Feng Xue Li: The bird never falls.

Xiaohu was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: Didn't the young master say before that there is no need to go and there will be people watching over there?

Feng Xue Li: Yes.

Laughing Fox: So now -

The door of the Li house opened silently in front of Feng Xueli's feet. He held the lantern and stepped across the threshold. In an instant, he melted into the fog of the night city and headed in the direction where the bird never fell. Only the voice fell calmly in Xiaohu's ears: It was because someone was watching that I knew it was time to go there.

Xiao Fuxuan's body was damaged, and the period of Wu Xingxue's calamity had not passed yet. The owner of Que Buluo has forgotten all the past events.

If we are waiting for the opportunity, is there any more suitable time than this...

Almost in the blink of an eye, two figures appeared in front of Quebuluo's door in the far south of Zhaoye City. It was Feng Xue Li and Xiaohu who had caught up.

Feng Xueli raised his finger, and the Tiansu Barrier of Que Buluo was hit by something, and made a sound like a bell in the golden light.

The sound rang three times, like someone knocking politely on the door.

But people who understand know that if this barrier is not established by Tiansu. After three polite knocks, the barrier has been shattered into ashes, and the person who set up the barrier will be severely damaged.

However, before the people in Quebuluo could react, the people in the gambling houses and wine shops around Quebuluo suffered first.

Those people's souls felt like they were suddenly hit hard by these three knocks on the door. Almost everyone spit out a mouthful of blood. In just an instant, most of the people in the gambling houses and wine shops disappeared and retreated.

But Feng Xueli, who was standing in front of the door, still looked calm and turned a deaf ear. He even drew a talisman politely and sent it to the barrier with the wind, just like a scholar going to someone's house.

It's normal to visit someone, and you also need to hand over a name card.

The surname was omitted from the post and it was written: I heard that the city lord has returned and Xue Lite came to pay a visit.
