Following the grand and peaceful voice from the sacred tree, there were streaks of light flickering among the branches and leaves.
Then these brilliance, intertwined together, finally formed a magnificent palace.
However, because the sacred tree was so huge that the canopy covered the sky and the sun, the majestic palace seemed small even under the shade of the tree.
But when the young man followed the "fruit" light group to the vicinity of the palace, he found that it was extremely grand, and it gave him the feeling that it was even more majestic and majestic than the main hall in the center of his own palace.
The two "fruits" entered the hall together.
The young man looked up and saw a round table in the hall.
There was already a person sitting at the table, but his whole body was shrouded in light, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
It seemed that in the other "fruit", although it was also hazy, he could at least see the old bird clearly. It was a tall, thin man with a bamboo pole-like figure.
But now, the person at the table couldn't see anything at all.
The brilliance was not dazzling, but it made him gain nothing.
Is this the so-called Mr. Zun...
Li Gucheng, who was wearing a boa robe, pondered in his heart.
Finding that he could move freely now, he walked over to the round table.
Li Gucheng turned his head and looked at the man who looked like a thin bamboo pole. He also regained his body shape and freedom, but his physical features were still shrouded in light, making it hard to see clearly.
The tall and thin man sat down on the side of the round table, on the left side of Mr. Zun, but not next to Mr. Zun.
Li Gucheng's gaze stayed on the seat facing Mr. Zun for a while, and then moved away.
He finally sat down on the right side of Mr. Zun, not next to Mr. Zun, but roughly facing the tall and thin man.
"Welcome, my guest." Mr. Zun first nodded slightly to Li Gucheng.
Li Gucheng twitched the corner of his mouth: "Thank you for your hospitality, senior."
This gentleman, and the tall and thin man, are naturally Chen Luoyang's thoughts, manifested through the divine tree.
Mr. Zun, who he incarnated, nodded at Li Gucheng first, then looked at the tall and thin man he incarnated.
The two faced each other, and Chen Luoyang felt like he was looking in a mirror.
"Indus, the joke just now was not funny." Mr. Zun said in a soft voice.
The tall and thin man lowered his head: "I'm sorry, senior, it's my fault."
He looked at Li Gucheng on the opposite side, and said sincerely: "I was just joking with you just now, please don't take it to heart, the senior treats every guest including you and me kindly, and it is the best thing to do. A generous elder."
Li Gucheng couldn't help twitching cheekily.
Brother, if he is really as generous as you said, why are you so afraid now!
Although your tone is very calm and your expression is very sincere, why did your body tremble slightly just now!
I saw it, I really saw it!
"Of course, of course." Li Gucheng forced a smile on his face, regardless of whether the tall and thin man opposite could see it.
Anyway, as long as Mr. Zun can see it.
As for those who paid the price mentioned by the tall and thin man... No, they are the ones who no longer appear. They must have had an accident somewhere else, so they can no longer come here.
Yes, it must be so!
Don't ask, it's an accident!
Anyway, it's none of Mr. Zun's business.
"I like to entertain guests, and I hope my guests can be happy and comfortable." Chen Luoyang, who turned into Mr. Zun, said calmly: "There is a real distance between each other, so everyone should be more casual."
Li Gucheng said with a dry smile, "Senior is thoughtful."
Although the other party was soft-spoken and approachable, to Li Gucheng, it felt more stressful than harsh words.
"However, it's more convenient to have a title." Chen Luoyang said: "I didn't have any idea at first, but Wutong and the others decided to name the tree after the tree, so it became a habit. My little friend, do you have any new plans? "
After thinking about it, Li Gucheng finally decided to do as the Romans do: "No need, I'll be just like everyone else."
Indus, of course, is the code name of the tall and thin man sitting opposite him now.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Gucheng said, "I like pine trees better, let's call them 'pine' or 'green pine'..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Wutong on the opposite side and shook his head slightly.
Li Gucheng narrowed his eyes.
Seeing this, Wutong shook his head a little bit more: "Then what...or should we change to another one?"
"Why?" Li Gucheng's expression changed slightly when he suddenly thought of something.
Then, as expected, I heard Wutong on the opposite side say vaguely: "Someone has chosen in front of the pine tree..."
Someone was elected, but that person is no longer here.
The position is already vacant, but it is unlucky......
Li Gucheng suddenly looked depressed.
He pulled himself together and forced a smile at Mr. Zun: "Senior, can you allow me to go back and think about it, and I will give you an answer when I come next time? After all, it's best not to change it, right?"
If he could, he hoped that he would never have to come to this tree house with a broken stove again.
Chen Luoyang, who turned into Mr. Zun, looked easy to speak: "Of course."
He was so easy to talk, but Li Gucheng felt even more bitter.
Being easy to talk about this kind of thing often means that it is hard to talk about other things.
Especially the statement just now made it clear that he would be brought here in the future.
Mr. Zun, who was transformed by Chen Luoyang, turned his head to look at Wutong, who was also transformed from his split soul, and asked pretendingly, "Have you gained anything recently?"
Then Li Gucheng saw Wutong straighten his back, and replied seriously: "I have a little clue, please look over it, senior."
After all, he presented something to Mr. Zun.
From Li Gucheng's point of view, the thing was also wrapped in a ball of light, so it was hard to see what it looked like.
In this way, the transactions between each person and this esteemed gentleman are kept secret from other people to other people.
But does Mr. Zun know the specific content of the transaction between them?
So far, it looks like it's probably okay...
And the other party's self-titled "Mr. Zun" is really intriguing.
After Mr. Zun took the things from Wutong, he fell silent.
After a while, Mr. Zun asked Wutong: "When did you get it?"
Indus replied: "Fifteen days ago."
Mr. Zun nodded slightly, then didn't say much, just beckoned gently.
Then, a ball of light floated out from the depths of the hall and flew in front of the tall and thin man.
Seeing this, Li Gucheng frowned secretly.
It seems that the reward given by this gentleman does not meet the standard of taking what is needed, but Mr. Zun can give whatever he wants.
However, he quickly noticed that the "Wutong" was clearly showing joy.
It seems that the reward offered by Mr. Zun is exactly what he wants.
Did they already agree on a reward when they met last time, or is it because this gentleman is so powerful?
Li Gucheng guessed endlessly.
"Thank you senior." The tall and thin man said gratefully.
Mr. Zun said gently: "There is no need to be so polite."
"Wutong" put away his things and sat quietly on the side.
And Mr. Zun looked towards Li Gucheng: "My little friend, if you have spare time, please help me pay attention to something?"
Li Gucheng wanted to answer badly, but he was under the eaves, so he finally chose to admit it first, at least leave here first.
"Senior, please tell me, as long as this junior can do it, he must do his best."
Chen Luoyang, who turned into Mr. Zun, said calmly, "You don't have to be nervous, just pay attention to something."
Li Gucheng said: "Please show me, senior."
"The person who set up the barriers and rules for the world of mortals, my friend, if you have any news about his specific whereabouts, please pay attention to me." Chen Luoyang said.
Li Gucheng was stunned for a moment.
Then his face was almost green.
The person who set up the barriers and rules for the world of mortals is the legendary Supreme...
What does this person care about the whereabouts of the Supreme?
Where is he holy?
Li Gucheng calmed down, and said a little embarrassedly: "Senior, it's not that the younger generation is evading, it's because I'm too far away from that kind of existence, and I really can't touch it."
Chen Luoyang said calmly: "It's okay, just help me and pay attention."
The "Wutong" who was also transformed by him over there comforted Li Gucheng and said: "Just pay attention at all times. This is a long-term effort. The seniors also said that there is no rush. Everyone of us took this job back then. , everyone pay attention to each other."
Li Gucheng laughed dryly.
Ma De, it's better if you don't talk, but your voice makes people even more frightened.
After thinking about it for a while, he wanted to stabilize this gentleman and find out the truth, so he boldly asked: "Senior, what if... I mean, what should I do if I have something to gain?" contact you?"
Chen Luoyang said casually: "No rush, I will invite all of you to be guests again every once in a while."
Li Gucheng nodded silently.
Mr. Zun, Chen Luoyang's incarnation, asked again: "My little friend seems to have a lot of savings?"
Hearing the words, Li Gucheng regained his energy and said with a smile, "It's definitely not comparable to the seniors."
Having said that, he couldn't help thinking about it.
If this Mr. Zun is too shy to rely on me to find treasures, then it seems that he is not as powerful as he imagined just now...
Just as he was thinking this way, he heard Chen Luoyang say: "Then I'll just reward you with the alchemy formula of Fu Ning Dan. You should be able to gather all the materials needed for alchemy yourself, little friend."
Li Gucheng was taken aback, and stared blankly at Mr. Zun who was completely shrouded in light.
The other party's voice was gentle and peaceful: "I prefer to teach people how to fish rather than give them fish."
Li Gucheng's breathing was a little short for a moment, and he finally calmed down: "Thank you, senior!"
"You're welcome, let's talk." Mr. Zun said, his body disappeared in the hall under the light.
"Wutong" who stayed at the table looked at Li Gucheng who seemed to be in a somewhat enthusiastic mood, and suddenly laughed: "Mr. Zun's rewards have always been generous, but everything here is exchanged at equal value."
