"Please lead the way," Jun Linyue said.
The owner of the bunker replied, "Please come in, gentlemen." She reached out and guided them through the massive door. The door was made of bamboo and wood. It was lined up in rows. On it were carvings of patterns, and these patterns were all in the shape of maple leaves.
As soon as he entered, he saw a large hall, all the way to the other side of the castle. Every ten steps, there would be an intersection, followed by a flight of stairs made from vines. It was like a paradise.
However, one could only see a black wall with some words written beside it, to the effect that it was a thousand-year-old maple tree. Other than the skeleton of this castle, many other things in this castle were propped up by this maple tree. Yun De'er stopped.
The owner of the bunker was sensitive and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
Yun De'er asked, "Inside..." The wall, is it the trunk of the maple tree? "
The governor laughed, "Princess, you have good eyesight. This is the trunk of the thousand-year-old maple tree. However, at your age, it is no longer sprouting."
Jun Linyue was also curious. "Is he dead?" The owner of the castle shook his head, "He's not dead. Trees also have souls. This maple tree had been growing for more than a thousand years, and had grown up again and again. It had grown tired of this way of living, so it had obtained the spiritual energy of heaven, allowing it to blossom once every year on the seventh day of the year. Have you ever seen a maple blossom? "
They all shook their heads at the same time and looked at the pumpkin spirit girl standing at the side. The pumpkin spirit girl blinked her large eyes and shook her head. "I've never heard of it either."
The Fort Owner slightly smiled, then nodded: "Then that's it. This is the specialty of our Dragonspring Villa's Maple Flower Castle. Every July, many people would come to watch the maple flowers. However, due to the influence of the mortals, their spiritual energy gradually decreased. As a result, there were very few flowers and very few flowers. This flower did not have any fruits, but was rather ornamental. It also had the shape of a maple leaf, but it also had an even more flowery taste than maple leaves. It wasn't the season, so we only saw this huge tree trunk. "
"What?" Does it have no branches? " Yun Dai Er asked in surprise, as if she was woken up by something. Jun Lin Yue looked at her and said, "The master of the castle said so. But I also have questions. When the time comes, where will the flowers grow? "
"When the summer comes, the branches will grow naturally, and after the flowering season, the branches will grow old, and then they will slowly fall off and disappear."
The few of them nodded their heads and continued forward.
When one looked at this castle from afar, they would feel that it was very big. After entering, they would feel that it was even bigger. Looking to the west, there was no end. There was only light.
"Isn't there any maple blossoms anywhere else?" Based on what I have said, all the trees that have lived for over a thousand years will blossom!? "
"Not really," said the Lord of the Grove, leading them forward. Some trees, even if they have been growing for tens of thousands of years, still don't blossom. "
"Why?" Yun De'er was still curious.
"It's because this is the Dragon Spring Villa. The Dragon Spring water is here to water the trees. Only after a thousand years will such a magical scene appear." "Look, you are the water from the Dragon Spring Pool. When it flows to this side, it will surround the entire Dragon Spring Manor and the lake."
"Is the Dragon Spring here different from other places?" Jun Lin Yue asked. Then, he increased his pace and walked to a low stair. Below him was an unadorned brook. Although it wasn't wide and could be crossed by just a jump, it was obvious that the water here was quite abundant.
The owner of the castle said, "There are many magical places in Dragon Spring Villa, which is why the lord spent a lot of money to build this place. Speaking of the Dragon Spring here, there is another legend. "
"Oh? If you don't mind, why don't you come and listen!? " Jun Lin laughed. The owner of the bunker said, "No problem. According to legends, a thousand years ago, a dragon and a phoenix landed here, and a heavy rain fell from the sky. It was rumored that a thousand years ago, a dragon and a phoenix landed here, and a heavy rain fell from the sky. Seeing this scene, the dragon and phoenix did not know the reason. But everyone thought that they were the ones who brought disaster and cursed them. However, they could not speak out their bitterness. Now that we have angered the gods, we have to punish these two dragon and phoenix and make them demand that they never leave this place. "
"And then?" she asked.
"Because there is only rain in the Dragon's Cave, the phoenix is not able to do it. Thus, the phoenix can only imprison this pair of dragons. Seeing this, the phoenix is unwilling to leave. Soon after, the deity withdrew the heavy rain, and the area gradually returned to its former flourishing state. Many people began to plant crops and live on. But then the temperature began to rise again, and all the lakes began to dry up. The dragon lets the phoenix go, but the phoenix does not. At that time, the dragon had already turned into a stone statue. The phoenix stood by the side, chanting every day. Finally, it died of thirst beside the stone statue of the dragon. When the dragon saw this, tears flowed out, converging into a small spring of sand that flowed continuously from the peak of the mountain. "
"After that, the spring water gradually formed a small stream. The river flowed into the other tributaries on the downstream path and flowed into the current Qingyang City, nurturing a region of the population. Therefore, this was the legend of the Dragon Spring. It was just that the Dragon Spring Water now was not as pure as it was back then. It was said that drinking the Dragon Spring Water could cure all kinds of illnesses and clear away the poison in one's body, causing one to become younger and younger. Only by watering this thousand-year-old maple tree with this water would a wondrous sight of a maple flower filling the sky appear. This is not something that can be seen anywhere else. "
After saying that, Yun Dai'er stared blankly at the sky, imagining that scene. She said, "It's too amazing. If it's true, I really want to see the stone statue of the dragon and the exit of the Dragon Spring. It's too magical. "
"So, the Maple Castle can only be found by chance. Some people never knew that such a magical scene existed in this world," the owner of the castle said. Jun Linyue nodded in praise, "It's indeed miraculous. It's just that we didn't come at the right time, otherwise we would have been able to see such a magical thing in this world. I really want to know what maple flowers look like! "
"Well, you are all distinguished guests from far away. No matter what time, just tell me, the Maple Castle will be open for you at any time, let alone on the seventh day."
Yun Dai Er was a bit curious, "What? Don't you need to report your Sect Leader to the reception at the castle?"
