Chapter 583 Asking the Tree

"This tree is not ordinary." Gao Jilin said, "Countless people have asked it for divination. How much will power do you have to accumulate?"

Lao Ge also said: "It is said that although the Master Wood Spirit has passed away, a ray of spiritual thought has entered the tree, so it has the power to predict good and bad luck."

Jiang Tao didn't believe it: "Is this okay?"

"I've never heard of a saying, it's called 'supporting the body to share the mountain'!" Lao Ge knew these words by heart. "If you can share the mountain, you can share the giant tree. Is there any problem?"

Everyone said the tour guide was right and there was no problem.

He Lingchuan scratched his head. The mysteries of the world are difficult for mortals to understand.

Finally, after waiting in line, everyone entered the grotto under the tree roots and discovered that there was a cave inside.

This cave is large and empty, and the gap at the top is indeed very smooth. It is impossible to say that it was really cut away by an immortal's sword back then.

Fluorescent spores are placed everywhere in the cave, illuminating every detail of the cave.

The main root of the Wenwen tree is rooted in the cave. It has penetrated the stone into the mountain, and it is unknown how deep it extends downward. After it penetrates the cave, it grows higher and higher. The hanging aerial roots grow thick and strong, and the cave is The surroundings were all wrapped up, which is why we have this wonderful scene today.

In this way, the bottom of the hole with the deep roots of the tree formed a low-lying area. Rain and dew flowed along the trunk, forming a clear pool at the root, which was deep enough for at least two people to fit in.

There are also fluorescent spores in the water, which sink and float, but the deep water is completely dark.

Tourists are all crowded here, surrounding the banyan pool three times inside and three times outside. However, although the giant tree has many roots, only a dozen of them cross or stick out of the pool and can be touched by everyone, so there are only a dozen people who are actually doing the divination.

Everyone else has to queue up at the back.

There is no off-season for tourism on Tianji Peak, only the difference between peak season and more peak seasons.

Everyone is interested: "What kind of divination method?"

Lao Ge pointed at the other tourists: "Learn like them, put one hand on the root of the tree, first silently recite the reason for your inquiry, and then communicate with the spirit tree, then take a drop of blood from your fingertip and throw it into the pool."

He Lingchuan took a look and saw that other tourists seemed to be doing this. But some people are too slow and take too long, so they will be rushed by people in line behind them.

Leaves fall from time to time above, swirling and floating on the surface of the pool, drifting straight towards the tourists.

This is very magical. Visitors who ask for divination will always receive a leaf.

"Green leaves are good luck, red leaves are bad luck."

Is it that simple and crude? Gao Jilin asked curiously: "Can I only ask about good or bad luck?"

To answer with leaves, the answer is either/or.

"Then what else do you want to ask?" Lao Ge chuckled, "This is a tree! It's not a human being, so I can't speak to you."

Jiang Tao pointed to a leaf floating in front of his eyes and asked, "Then what is this?"

This leaf was half green but not red, and the tourists opposite it also looked confused.

"That is to say, whether it is bad or good." The guests that Lao Ge brought here ranged from not more than one thousand to eight hundred, and he could be regarded as a semi-divine interpreter. "It all depends on the person's subsequent actions."

He Lingchuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The last time he performed a divination at the Xianling Lake Temple, although the Turtle Spirit gave him a fortune, there was still something to interpret.

This time it was even worse, the answer was actually only "yes" or "no".

Since this is "asking", what question should he ask?

A guest pointed to the water and said: "The blades have sunk."

Lao Ge hummed: "After the divination, if the guests don't take it away, the leaves will sink to the bottom. Otherwise, the water will be full of leaves, and no one will be able to tell."

“Where will the leaves sink?”

"Maybe it went out with the water, or maybe it was taken away by the roots." Lao Ge asked, "Have you never heard of fallen leaves returning to their roots?"

Jiang Tao's eyes flashed slightly: "The queue is too slow, why don't you jump into the water and touch the roots of the tree?"

"No." Lao Ge glanced at him sideways, "Are you smart? This method has been tried by others before, but it doesn't work! Daoshu doesn't pay attention to such people at all!"

He then pointed to the tree trunk and said: "There was a time when someone jumped into the water to ask for help. He wanted to carve it with a knife, but he was forked out by the guard and thrown directly off Tianji Peak!"

He Lingchuan was speechless. Is his life in danger if he scribbles carelessly?

Evil people must be punished by evil people. Lao Ge sneered: "Order, order is important here!"

"The most amazing thing is that as soon as the man was forked out, the Wenwen tree dropped a leaf, bright red!"

Is he still alive after being thrown off a mountain? Of course it’s a big deal!

After waiting in line for less than half an hour, it was finally the group's turn.

Jiang Tao went up first, touched the tree with his hand and murmured, then dripped blood. As a result, a leaf floated over, green.

"Ji!" He snapped his fingers excitedly, "Okay!"

Another customer's face turned pale: "Red, red!"

The leaves he grabbed were so red that they almost bled.

"Oh, you are so fierce? You have suffered a bloody disaster recently." Lao Ge immediately took out a talisman from his waist, "Would you like an amulet, one that has been blessed in the Chongsang Temple! It is better to save your life at the critical moment than anything else."

He Lingchuan looked at him with disdain.

This stuff has been prepared for a long time, right? The price is too expensive.

The guest's face turned pale: "Is this tree accurate?"

"Didn't I say it before? Who can say for certain about this kind of thing?" Lao Ge patted him on the shoulder, "But you have some hunch in your heart, right?"

"I, I, alas..." the guest said with a bitter face, "There is something that I have been worried about. I didn't expect it to end so badly!"

"Come on, come on, I'll help you get rid of the bad luck." Lao Ge put the amulet around his neck.

The customer paid without thinking twice.

If losing money can eliminate disaster, who would dare not be generous?

"After you go back, be careful, maybe there will be a turnaround."

The guest seemed to be grasping at a life-saving straw: "Can this disaster be avoided?!"

Old Ge comforted him: "Maybe!"

Beside him, Gao Jilin was also asking for divination. This time, a small part of the leaves were slightly red, but most of them were lush green.

His face was also very interesting: "Is it auspicious or inauspicious?"

He Lingchuan looked at it and smiled: "I think it depends on how you deal with it later. If you deal with it well, it will be very auspicious, and if you deal with it badly, it will be slightly inauspicious."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Don't look at the red and green leaves. In fact, the depth of color seems to have a meaning, and it is not as simple as it looks at first glance.

He stroked the roots of the tree and silently asked a question:

"If I continue on this path I have chosen, will it be auspicious or inauspicious, will I live or die?"

Because the spirit wood may have the ability to silently read people's hearts, he dare not say it clearly, and he dare not even mention words such as Dafanghu, Panlongcheng, and fighting against Beijia.

But He Lingchuan really wanted to know. After all, all the predecessors who walked this road died for their faith.

It would be a lie to say that he had never felt anxious.

The blood dripped down, and everyone waited with He Lingchuan.

Five breaths passed.

Fifteen breaths passed.

All the leaves that floated over went to other people, and He Lingchuan's place was empty.

What happened? He Lingchuan scratched his head. Could it be that the calculation was too much and the spirit wood crashed?

After waiting for a while, no leaves floated over.

Jiang Tao asked curiously: "What's wrong? Did you ask the question?"

"Yes." Otherwise, why did he come in? He Lingchuan asked Lao Ge, "Has this happened before?"

"Uh..." The gibbon also touched his forehead, "I don't remember."

The tree has always been very diligent. The results it predicts may not be correct, but they are very fast. Otherwise, how can it cope with so many tourists in Tianji Peak for so many years?

The tourists in the queue behind him began to get impatient: "Can you do it?"

"If you can't do it, just get out of the way. There are so many people behind!"

Old Ge turned around and yelled: "Shut up! Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate? Will you pee your pants if you wait a few more breaths?"

It opened its mouth and showed its fangs, and its face was ferocious. With the two strong mandrills behind it, it was written on its face that "I'm not easy to mess with."

So the tourists behind didn't dare to argue, but just muttered in a low voice. Old Ge was thick-skinned, so of course he couldn't hear it.

At this time, a leaf finally floated towards He Lingchuan.

Red leaves.

No, to be precise, it was golden red, and the color was as gorgeous as the clouds in the sky at dusk.

And the wax on the surface of the leaf was even, reflecting the color of metal.

"Hey?" Is this really for him? He Lingchuan squeezed two steps to the side.

Unexpectedly, the water flow changed, and the leaf still floated towards him.

He could only reach out and pick up the leaves, shaking them towards Lao Ge: "What does this mean?"

Lao Ge's monkey face was also blank: "I've never heard of such a thing."

He has brought thousands of guests, but he has never seen the Tao tree give such leaves.

"Does the Tao tree not drop yellow leaves?"

"It does, but it sinks when it hits the water, and it won't float to us." Lao Ge pointed to the water surface, "Look."

At this time, the other guests in the group had already taken the time to ask for divination. He Lingchuan observed carefully and found that the alpine banyan tree often dropped yellow leaves, but it sank after a spin in the water, and it would not stay on the water surface at all, let alone float to the tourists.

So the red and gold leaves in He Lingchuan's hand were really rare, and the surrounding tourists also came to see them, and they were amazed.

There are many locals here who brought their relatives and friends to ask for divination. At this time, they all said: "It's rare, I haven't seen anyone take such leaves!"

The two guards in the cave were also alarmed. They came over to take a look. When they found the yellow leaves, they asked He Lingchuan's name and address. The latter readily gave a fake name and address.

The two men also followed the rules. After listening, they stood back with a wooden face and did not ask any more questions.

Dealing with so many noisy guests every day, they have long learned to empty their minds and are too lazy to think about anything.

At this time, a guest in his fifties said: "I heard that someone has taken it before."

As soon as this was said, the noise around them died down, and everyone followed the voice to ask: "Who? Who else has taken it?"

"It's the current General Qingwu, General Hong! But I heard that he got the yellow leaves. I wonder if it's this kind of red and gold."

He Lingchuan's heart moved. Did Hong Chenglue also take the yellow leaves from the Tao Tree?

Gao Jilin said: "Are you sure?"

"How can I be sure?" The man waved his hands repeatedly, "It's just hearsay!"

Since there is no conclusion, the stone cave quickly returned to its original bustle.

Other tourists heard the news and wanted to buy the golden and red leaves from He Lingchuan for collection, and offered five taels.
