Chapter 14, Under the Resentment Flower Tree

As soon as Ji Xuanxuan was free, she immediately waved her sword and cut at the vines entangled in the summer wind, and blood splashed at the fracture. Xia Feng broke free from the vines and immediately pulled her into the circle of fire condensed by Shen Dan with magic fire. Kunel also helped Alette, Horry and Rona break free from the vines and support each other to retreat into the circle of fire. Yan Gonghai's warriors in black also retreated into the fire circle one after another, but there were still two people wrapped in giant flowers and dragged into the air, and the flower immediately closed again, like a bud that had not yet bloomed. The tightly closed petals couldn't help squirming. Obviously, the people who were swallowed by the petals were still struggling desperately to call for help, but they couldn't get out of the package of the petals. The dull cry for help came out faintly through the petals.

"Save people!" Xia Feng said that he could not care about his own safety, and immediately rushed out again and cut the flower stem with a knife to the thin thigh. Ji Xuanxuan also rushed out of the fire circle and came to Xia Feng. The bright light of the bright sword suddenly made the vine flowers dare not approach. Xia Feng was able to calmly cut off the flower stem and save the royal warrior from the demon flower, but unfortunately A swallowed warrior no longer knows which demon flower he is in.

The three supported each other and retreated to the circle of fire. Countless vines and demons flew around outside the circle of fire, but did not dare to enter the circle of fire.

"You are really the great saint Monkey King who subdues demons!" After getting out of danger, Xia Feng was a little relaxed and couldn't help praising Ji Xuanxuan sincerely. Unexpectedly, Ji Xuanxuan gave him a hateful white look, "Oh! You are the stupid and stupid Monkey King. I'm Marshal Tianpeng Zhu Bajie!"

Xia Feng was stunned and suddenly realized that she had turned Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie upside down. No wonder she wanted to be Zhu Bajie. Xia Feng couldn't help hugging Ji Xuanxuan in her arms and kissed her on the cheek, "Yes, yes, you are Zhu Bajie!" I am the stupid and stupid Monkey King. I love you so much, smart Zhu Bajie!"

"Get out of here!" Ji Xuanxuan suddenly got out of Xia Feng's arms and stared at him with red eyes, "Go and love your sand monk. Be careful that she will let the flower demon catch it again."

"Sha Monk?" Xia Feng was stunned and glanced at Kunier with hostility when he saw Ji Xuanxuan's eyes. He suddenly realized and patted his forehead and said, "Sha Monk, this nickname is creative, but the contrast is a little too big. Um, the monk Sha is like a Westerner, and she is from the West, which makes sense. Speaking of this, he put his mouth close to Ji Xuanxuan's ear and whispered, "Who is Yan Laoer? Bull Demon King? Doesn't this seem to praise him too much?

"Summer wind, I warn you!" Ji Xuanxuan suddenly pushed away Xia Feng, who came close to her, pointed the bright sword at his nose, and shouted righteously, "You are rude and frivolous to me again. Be careful that I cut your tongue with a sword!"

"What's wrong?" Xia Feng looked innocent and knew that she was jealous of saving Kunier first instead of saving her first. Especially when she saw Kunier talking secretly late at night and finally jumping into her arms and crying. I'm afraid that she can't explain it in a few words, and she doesn't bother to explain it with Xia Feng's character. Then he continued to joke, "It's easier to cut off the neck with a sword. I'm afraid it's a little difficult to cut off the tongue with a sword. However, you pig's head is so powerful that you may be able to do it. I'd better say less and keep my tongue so that I can continue to tell you about Zhu Bajie three dozen white bone essences.

Seeing that Ji Xuanxuan's red eyes completely ignored her jokes, Xia Feng's face was a little unbearable. Especially in front of such people, she had to take two steps back and sighed in her heart: When she was a child, when she read fantasy novels on the Internet, the protagonist was not only chased by girls, but also princesses. Such as the saint or the most beautiful fairy of the elf clan, ordinary noble ladies can't rank at all, and they all cry and shout to marry him, and they don't care about being mistresses. Why am I so unsmooty? Am I really ugly?

"Don't quarrel anymore. Now we are still surrounded by these cannibals!" Yan Gonghai stared at Xia Feng and Ji Xuanxuan with dissatisfaction, and then asked Shen Dan, "My concubine, did you just say that these flowers are 'resentment flowers'? What is that?"

"I'm not sure!" A trace of fear flashed in Shen Dan's eyes, "The 'resentment flower' usually grows alone. It is unimaginable to grow such a large flower forest like this."

"I have seen the record of 'resentment flower' in the magic secret book of the Western Empire," Kunel suddenly interrupted. "It is a strange flower that grew on the body of the deceased. It nourishes the dead body and its resentment as a seed. After a hundred years of growth, it finally formed the long-lasting resentment of the deceased into a bright one. Compared with the 'resentful flower'. But usually this kind of flower appears alone, and I have never heard of such a big one.

"It's actually very simple to prove whether these are 'resentful flowers'!" As soon as Xia Feng finished his words, when he saw that everyone turned their eyes to him, he said his method with great interest, "Dig down the flower tree. Since it grew from the dead, you can definitely find the body at the root."

The common curiosity made everyone overcome their fear. Under the protection of Shen Dan's magic fire, everyone cut off the smallest flower tree, and then carefully dug down the flower tree with a sword. A moment later, a intact body was carefully dug out. It was the body of a seven or eight-year-old child, curled into a ball. There were countless roots squirming like snakes on his ** body, and the thick flower stem of the mouth of the bowl came out from the top of his skull, and the cut part was still bleeding. .

"If there is such a corpse under every flower tree," then Yan Gonghai looked into the depths of the dark flower forest, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable horror, and the following words could not be said. This flower forest can't see the end at the top of the mountain. How many such bodies should there be?

"This is not a 'wry flower'!" Shen Dan suddenly lost his voice and screamed, "This child is still alive, but he is still bleeding!"

In the broken roots on the child's body, there are drops of blood falling down!

Extreme fear reduced Shen Dan's spiritual power. The magic fire condensed by her spiritual power suddenly darkened. Several flower trees took this opportunity to quietly break into the circle of fire. The snake-like vines suddenly rolled her up and dragged her into the depths of the flower forest in a blink of an eye. As soon as she was swept away, the magic fire condensed by her spiritual power was completely extinguished.

"Dan!" As soon as Yan Gonghai was about to catch up, he was also entangled in a demon flower head-on and was suddenly wrapped in the petals. The rest of the people fled one after another, were entangled by the vines, and then swallowed up by those demon flowers, and even the wingman Alette did not escape the same fate.

"Summer wind! Summer breeze! Where are you?" Ji Xuanxuan waved the holy sword randomly and couldn't help shouting. Unfortunately, the light of the holy sword could only protect herself. She saw people dragged away and disappear from her surroundings by the flowers and vines. After a moment, only her trembling voice echoed in the flower forest, "Summer wind! Kunel! Alette! Sister Shen! Lord Yan, where are you? Come back quickly."

It was not until her voice was almost completely hoarse that Ji Xuanxuan knelt down with her holy sword and cried bitterly at dozens of flower trees around her that had been cut down. While crying, she regretted: If she hadn't deliberately avoided Xia Feng, she would not have let him be dragged away by those demon flowers and be regarded as Tang monk by those monsters. Eat the meat.

The flowers and trees around are still talking, fear, loneliness, confusion, pain, and all kinds of feelings hit Ji Xuanxuan's heart together. She held the holy sword helplessly for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and rushed into the flower forest. She cut them one by one at the cost of physical strength, looking for them one by one in the fallen buds. There is only one belief in my heart: even if Xia Feng becomes a pile of white bones, he must find him!

"Woo--" There is a melodious sound of a cave flute in the depths of the flower forest, like the sound of nature floating above the clouds, soothing and gently without a trace of ordinary dust. Ji Xuanxuan couldn't help stopping and looking in the direction of the flute. In the depths of the dark and hazy flower forest, there seemed to be a bright light slowly moving over. Gradually, finally, an old man in white robe riding a donkey and a crane blew a hole flute and walked leisurely from the flower forest. He exuded a bright white light all over his body. Those vines and demon flowers squirmed around him, but they did not dare to enter the white light.

Ji Xuanxuan stared at the old man of the Dongxuan clan with fluttering clothes, white beard and chest, like a fairy in the painting, and forgot everything around her for a moment. The old man rode a donkey to Ji Xuanxuan, so he put away the flute and said to her leisurely, "Girl, welcome to the 'dream country'!"

It seemed to be blessed. Ji Xuanxuan suddenly knelt down in front of the old man, "Old gentleman, please help my companion!"

"These demon flowers are really harmful!" The old man sighed and looked up at the sky. "It's midnight now. These grievances and evil spirits are strong, and there is nothing I can do. You leave here with me first, and we will come back tomorrow, and then we can save your companions.

Seeing that Ji Xuanxuan did not get up, the old man smiled hoarsely, "Don't you believe me?"

The old man is more than old and has a kind face, and he really doesn't look like a bad person. However, even so, she asked Ji Xuanxuan to leave Xia Feng and others and leave here first, and she would not agree to anything. The old man saw her determination in Ji Xuanxuan's eyes and couldn't help sighing gently: "Well, let's wait here until the most evil midnight is over. Probably at dawn, I can save your companions."

After saying that, he turned over from the donkey, crossed his knees on the ground, closed his eyes and refreshed himself, and ignored Ji Xuanxuan. The donkey seemed to be used to those man-eating vines and demon flowers, close to their owners and turned a blind eye to their squirming around.

The old man's calmness gave Ji Xuanxuan great confidence. She also sat down opposite the old man and learned to close her eyes and refresh herself, but she couldn't calm down and dared not disturb the old man. She just waited anxiously for the dawn.

When the fish belly began to appear white in the east, the old man finally opened his eyes, "It's time, and the old man can cast spells." With that, he turned over the donkey's back, took the staff hanging on the saddle, and then patted the donkey and walked in the flower forest, reading words while walking. With the finger of his staff, the huge wrapped buds around him opened one after another, and living people fell out of the buds one after another.

"Cunelle! Sister Shen Dan! Alette, Xia Feng!" Ji Xuanxuan was surprised and quickly greeted the crowd. Everyone looked stunned one by one, as if they had just woken up from a big dream.

"I almost suffoed to death!" Xia Feng gasped, "The guy who designed these demon flowers must be a pervert!"

Yan Gonghai first noticed the old man in white not far away and couldn't help asking doubtfully, "You are"

"It was this old fairy who saved you!" Ji Xuanxuan quickly told everyone that she had just passed by, and everyone quickly thanked the old man. Only Xia Feng whispered: Old fairy? Why is it like playing Romance of the Gods?

When the old man saw that everyone was asking his name one after another, he smiled leisurely with his white beard, "The old man is called the spirit, and he is the guardian mage of the 'the country of dreams'. Welcome to our 'the country of dreams'."

The country of dreams? What is that?" Everyone looked puzzled, and it was obviously the first time they heard the name. The old man smiled and did not answer, but said, "You will know by looking at it with your own eyes." With that, he patted the donkey and walked leisurely to lead the way.

Just after being saved by him, everyone is still in this horrible flower forest, and there is really no reason to refuse the invitation of the lifesaver. Even the suspicious Yan Gonghai couldn't guess what unspeakable intentions the other party would have, so he had to signal to everyone with his eyes, and then follow the old man and slowly walk to the depths of the flower forest.

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning inlaid a golden edge on the white clouds, everyone finally walked out of the flower forest, then turned around a mountain pass, and suddenly felt a light. In front of us are neat square fields, like green carpets neatly laid on the ground, and the unified specifications and neat arrangement can never be seen elsewhere. The straight raids are full of colorful flowers, like lace on green carpets. There are three or twos of farmers working leisurely in the field. They do not have the sweaty hard work of farmers elsewhere, only a kind of joy and calmness. In the distance, rows of farmhouses are neat and bright, with cooking smoke curling up. There are streams slowly flowing in front of the farmhouse, surrounded by lush bamboos behind the farmhouse, surrounded by flowers and trees. Of course, they are no longer that kind of resentment demon flowers, making the simple farmhouse beautiful. From afar, there was a faint sound of chickens and dogs barking, which was like a paradise, which made people yearn for.

"It's so beautiful!" Ji Xuanxuan had just experienced the panic last night, and now she suddenly saw such a freehand place. She couldn't help admiring softly, and a trace of relaxation finally appeared on everyone's face. Only Yan Gonghai exchanged a look with Xia Feng and Kunier, and his eyes were still naturally vigilant.

Everyone slowly came to the front with the Cangling Mage, and then they saw the farmers working in the field, including Daxi, Dongxuan and Sem, and even many mixed-race children. When everyone saw Xia Feng and his party, they all straightened up from the field and greeted them loudly from afar: "Welcome to the distinguished guests from afar, welcome to the land of dreams!"

"The country of dreams? I thought it was Peach Blossom Land!" Xia Feng muttered in a low voice. He didn't feel strange about everything in front of him, but the rest of the people were very surprised. You should know that the Daxi, Dongxuan and Semin people have always accumulated grievances for a long time. Even in Poseidong, the capital of the Great West, where all ethnic groups live in the highest degree, each ethnic group has their own settlements, which is clear. It is completely incredible in the eyes of the three peoples working in the same field in front of them.

The Cangling mage walking in front of him blew the flute, and someone immediately came out of the farmhouse in the distance. They were all well-dressed teenagers of all ethnic groups. The man is tall and handsome, and the woman is beautiful. He greeted Xia Feng from afar and bowed down to greet everyone. Their modesty made everyone a little confused. After a little modesty and politeness, they followed the teenagers to the farmhouses in front of them. They saw that the farmhouses were unique and exquisitely built, the flowers outside the house were beautiful, and the house was spotless. Although Jiashi is just some simple wooden tables and bamboo chairs, it is extremely comfortable and freehand. Even Ji Xuanxuan, Shen Dan, Yan Gonghai and others from rich background can't help but be surprised.

As soon as everyone sat down under the guidance of the teenagers, there were boys and girls who led everyone to the hot spring behind the house to bathe and change clothes. Everyone washed away the panic and fatigue of the way in the hot spring. They put on the brand-new clothes prepared by the owner and returned to the farmhouse. They saw that the house had been prepared kiwi fruits and various exquisite cakes, which were rare outside. The variety. Everyone was suddenly greedy, regardless of Yan Gonghai's eyes hints, and they ate big pieces one after another.

It was not until everyone was completely full and accompanied by the master on the throne that he smiled at the crowd: "Welcome to the land of dreams! After a short rest here, please follow the old man to see his father, who will show you around the dream country. This is just our welcome station, and the real territory of the dream country is still ahead. I hope you can also become one of us and contribute to building a dream country.

"Father?" Everyone was stunned, "How old is the old mage?"

"This year is exactly 70 years old."

"Then your father"

"It's not my father," Cang Ling interrupted Xia Feng, "it's the father of everyone here, the father of all of us."

Everyone looked at each other and really didn't understand what this meant. Yan Gonghai thought for a moment and asked, "What's the name of the owner of this room?" My father is again"

The sorcerer looked straight and said seriously to Yan Gonghai with a restrained smile, "There is no master in the dream country. There is only one father of dreams. Orcus, who created the dream country with his own hands, is also the 'father' of all of us!"

"Ocus!" Several people shouted in one voice. Xia Feng was happy and finally found the person he was looking for; Kuner was shocked, which was a natural reaction when he suddenly heard the name of the traitor of the empire; Yan Gonghai was nervous. This time, he had no choice but to go deep into the southern wilderness to deal with Orcus, a genius magician of the Western Empire with the "Maple Star"!

When the mage heard the three call the name of Orcus, he immediately reminded everyone with a serious face: "When it comes to your father Orcus, please be sure to use the honorific title. He is the father of everyone in the dream country. Please respect our father.

"Father?" Xia Feng was a little surprised, "How old is Orcus?"

The white-robed mage glanced at Xia Feng unhappily, "What does age mean to the great father?"

Xia Feng curled his lips disapprovingly and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yan Gonghai. He stood up and bowed his hand with a smile to the mage: "Okay, we must respect the customs of your country and ask the mage to take us to visit the great 'father' Orcus of the dream country as soon as possible."
