Chapter 691 Escape Spring

Zhang Fan laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to associate it. I thought you were just memorizing those materials..."

The book demon also smiled, "Maybe it means that I'm becoming more and more human."

"It's very tiring to be a person... There are many indescribable things..."

"For example, love..." The book demon said, "Just like you and Green Wings, or Dark Sakura, your relationship is very strange to me. Just like the love mentioned in the book. But it seems that love should be single-handed, and both of them seem to be single-handed. But you, I can't understand..."

Zhang Fan was asked a little embarrassed and his face was hot. He coughed and said, "Cough, I've been in your 'text space' for a thousand years. I've never seen you talk so much and hate it?"

"Yaoji also seems to be very dedicated..." The book demon didn't seem to intend to let Zhang Fan go.

"You are more noisy than Xuanyuan Star!" Zhang Fan was a little helpless.

The book demon smiled and said, "Well, we will discuss this issue later... If there is really a world tree or Mount Sumeru, I really want to see it. I heard that there is a spring of wisdom in the second root of the tree of the world. After drinking the spring, you will know everything.

Zhang Fan listened, but did not agree, "If there is such a spring, I would rather not drink it. Wisdom comes from your own gradual understanding. I'm afraid that such eagerness for quick success and quick benefits is a big taboo for practice. Buddha said: All sentient beings have to go through the practice of the three monks to become Buddhas. I think wisdom can only be produced after all the evil thoughts and desires in the heart are worn out. It should be a process from pain to understanding. Instead of taking a sip of spring water, you can do it.

The book demon opened the sheepskin book, "The Nordic god Odin has infinite wisdom after drinking this spring..."

"I know, it's just a legend, it can't be serious. Those gods must have practiced for countless years to have wisdom beyond human beings. The so-called spring of wisdom is just our good wishes..."

"Maybe..."

Aken has been walking for a long time, but the giant tree is still standing in front of his eyes, supporting the whole world, but never approaching. He can't remember how long he has been gone, and his pocket watch has stopped. It's probably been a few months?! He held the long cane of "benevolent thought" in his hands. His body and mind were already very tired, and his future was still far away.

I don't know how long it has been. Maybe a hundred years, maybe a thousand years, the road Aken has walked is countless. There are cold deserts, poisonous rivers, lava lands with flames, cold fog capitals, iron-cast forests, and beautiful elf countries. Let him see the giants living in the frost, the monsters living in the flames, the elves living in the flowers, and the dwarfs cast by mines for many years. Many wonderful creatures, like a mythical world.

When he finally passed through the loyal and diligent giant country and touched a rhizome of the giant tree, which moved him to tears. But the road to the root system of the giant tree is still immeasurable.

Aken untied his back and picked a pea pod in the kingdom of giants, took out a large piece of bread crumbs given to him by the kind giant and nibbled it. This dry bread crumb made him stretch his neck and swallow. Aken was helpless. The giant made too much bread. It's not as good as the stinky food made by the goblins in the mine. The food made by those elves in the woods is delicious, delicate and nutritious, but unfortunately there are too few. They have to eat their food for a month.

Aken took off the skin given by the dwarf, but did not pour out a drop of water. This made him a little helpless. I don't know how far it is to reach the tree of the world, listen to a listener's speech, and taste the legendary spring of life. Aken remembered his two comrades-in-arms and the mermaid. They should have been gone for a long time...

Akan gave up his mind and continued on the road to his cracked lips. The rough breadcrumbs, like a mixture of sand and hay, could not pass through Akan's throat. He really can't walk. Maybe this is the place where you sleep for a long time. Hey hey, I didn't expect that I had experienced thousands of difficulties and dangers, and finally failed to reach the shade of the tree of the world. But finally touched its roots, and it was not in vain to walk in this mythical world.

He was resting on the huge plate in a daze, as if he heard the sound of water. He jumped up, and his smoking voice had already dominated his body. Aken threw down the pea pod package, held on the long cane of "benevolent thoughts", and walked forward with a shallow foot to find the water source he heard in his dream.

Leaded by the sound of hope, he actually walked through a root system, and the sound of water in front of him was real and rich**! When he worked hard to turn over a rhizome as tall as a mountain, he looked far away. Sure enough, I saw a clear spring flowing through the dense roots of the tree, as if there was a spiritual jump at the foot of the tree of the world!

Aken waved his cane and ran over screaming. He was going to jump into the spring to take a good bath. However, the spring, like a spiritual animal, ran away as soon as it saw someone shouting and running over! It jumped up, left the original flow path, jumped over the wide and tall roots, and ran without a trace in an instant!

Aken was stunned. He had never seen a spring that would escape by himself! I am also well-informed. In this mythical land, I have seen a lot of strange water, including highly poisonous water, weak water that is difficult for goose feathers to float, burning water, flowing like oil, and huge dew. But this is the first time that a spring has run away from my eyes.

He was so thirsty that he immediately shouted and chased after him. But no matter how fast he is, he still has to go over those layers of roots. But the spring water can be pervasive, jumping and shuttling through the dense roots. It's incredible that this person and a spring are chasing in the roots of the tree.

Akan was struggling to chase the spring, but he saw an old giant sitting on a large rhizome in the distance. He was frowning and sighing with a sad face. The spring ran quickly behind the giant and hid. The wet sound of running water ** thirsty Aken. Regardless of the strangeness of the giant in front of him, he had to bypass and chase...

"Why are you chasing it?" The giant's rumble sounded like thunder, almost knocking Aken down.

Aken said confidently, "Because I'm thirsty!" Shouldn't you drink water when you are thirsty? In his impression, giants are honest and kind, so Aken is not afraid.

"If you are thirsty, you have to drink it, so I'm hungry and I can eat you?" The giant is still frowning. But it scared Aken. This guy is really hungry and miserable.

"This..." Aken was tongue-tied by him.

"But that's just a handful of springs, and I'm a living person?" Aken defended.

The giant seems to be very uncomfortable. "In my eyes, the spring is full of spirituality and nourishes this tree of the world, which is much more useful than you. But in addition to consumption and eventually death, you might as well let me eat earlier, which can also make some contributions.

Aken thought and felt that what the giant said made sense. Then what's the use of you?"

The giant frowned, but also smiled, "Yes, we are useless. It's better to die earlier." Unfortunately, the place of death refused to accommodate me and asked me, an old giant, to guard this spring..."

"Are you guarding this spring?" Aken was surprised and then said to the old giant, "That's just right. I'm thirsty. Can you accommodate me and let me drink it?"

The old giant laughed like a bell, "Hahaha! You are the most arrogant human I have ever seen! If you want to drink this spring water, do you know what it costs to drink this spring water?

Aken knew that the spring must come from extraordinary, so he asked, "What is the price?"

The old giant did not answer with a sad face. Aken waited for a long time. Seeing that the old giant did not answer, he turned his eyes and asked the old giant, "Why are you so sad? Is there anything bothering you?"

The old giant looked sad. He raised his foot and said to Acon, "The sole of my foot has been very painful for tens of thousands of years, but my back is not good and my hands can't reach it, which makes me painful..."

Aken knows that the body of giants is about the same as that of humans, but their spines have to bear greater strength. Therefore, it is normal for many giants to have a bad spine and can't bend over. So he said, "It's not a big deal. Let me show you what makes you so sad. You raised your feet..."

"Then I'm sorry to bother you..." The old giant was very happy and raised his footboard for Aken to see. This place will not come for millions of years, which makes him very distressed. Maybe it was scratched the last time I climbed a tree...

Aken stared at the huge soles of his feet and found that there was a red and swollen place, so he stabbed it with his cane. The old giant said in pain, "Ouch!" One sound. Aken feels right.

"You endure a little pain, as if something has pierced..." Aken saw a thick wooden stick, revealing a head, and he didn't know how deep it was inserted into the meat.

"Is it a thin thorn?" The old giant asked, he wished he could see it.

"Do you call a big tree a thorn?" Akan pulled the thick stick and pulled it up hard.

"For us, it's just a thorn... Ouch--"

Aken was panting. Hearing the old giant's words, he was a little uncomfortable and deliberately shook the thick wooden pile. "Don't shout, I'm just looking at how long this big tree is!"
