Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

After more than half a step away, Du Qian fled all the way, reaching the location of Tie Shuxian first at a speed far exceeding Xu Xian.

It was a beautiful valley with lush green mountains, green water, and a cliff with clear springs flowing. There was a cave dotted with vines, which was the residence of the Iron Tree Immortal.

Du Qian stepped into the cave and went deeper. Wherever he looked, there were vines climbing on the rocks, and flowers bloomed on them, with a long and fragrant fragrance.

Du Qian looked at the fluorescent flowers, smelled the distant fragrance in his nose, and couldn't help but murmured: "It's quite sentimental..."

At this moment, the vines on the surrounding rock walls began to squirm quietly, surrounding Du Qian in the center from all directions, and then——

"call out--"

Along with the sound of whistling breaking through the air, dozens of vines shot out from all directions.

Du Qian turned his head and glanced, and drew out the long sword with his right hand like lightning, swinging it to his side calmly.

"Crash-"

The sound of water waves like the waves of the blue sea echoed in the empty cave.

An extremely wide silver river burst out of the void, like the Milky Way falling from the sky, surrounding Du Qian's body.

As the waves surged, the phantom of the Milky Way surged in, easily crushing the vines shooting from all directions into powder.

This is Du Qian's most proficient immortal swordsmanship at present - the Styx Sword Technique!

"Susu..."

After only one encounter, the broken vines retracted back to the rock wall and squirmed at the corners of the wall and ceiling.

Du Qian was holding a long sword, surrounded by the shadows of the silver river, looking at the deeper cave ahead with an indifferent expression.

"Tie Shuxian, is this your way of hospitality?"

"..."

The being deep in the cave was silent for a moment, then asked: "Who are you and why did you break into my cave?"

"Haha, you will know who I am when you see this token..."

Du Qian smiled slightly, took out a token and threw it forward.

The jade token drew a parabola in the air, and just as it was about to fall to the ground, a vine suddenly sprang out, caught the token in time, and then rolled the token deeper into the cave.

Seeing this scene, Du Qian dispersed the shadow of the Milky Way around him, sheathed his long sword, and waited with a calm expression.

Seeing his kindness, the squirming vines around him calmed down and lay quietly in the corner or on the rock wall.

Not long after, a very complicated sigh came from the cave.

"I see……"

With a sigh, the vine stretched out from deeper inside the cave, with the token curled at the tip, and reached in front of Du Qian.

Du Qian took the token, put it into his personal space, and then said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, won't you invite me in?"

The voice in the cave was silent for a while, then suddenly controlled all the vines to retract, and said in a complicated tone: "Please come in..."

Du Qian nodded, then took steps, following the vine deeper into the cave.

After a while, Du Qian reached the end, and his vision suddenly opened up. A cave with wide space and beautiful scenery appeared in his eyes.

In the huge cave, an extremely tall and strong iron tree stood in the center of the cave. Its thick roots penetrated deeply into the rock formations, and its roots spread throughout every inch of the cave.

On all the rock walls, there is a strange vine with small fluorescent flowers blooming on it.

Although this fluorescence is not bright, it cannot hold up too many. They are piled up layer by layer, like stars in the sky, illuminating the entire cave.

Du Qian looked at the wonders in the cave with great interest, and then turned his attention to the only iron tree in the center of the cave that did not bloom.

He noticed that many of the roots of the iron tree arched out of the ground, intertwining like vines, forming an oval arch like an egg.

Du Qian's eyes bloomed with golden light. Through the thick roots of the iron tree, he could vaguely see the two stone tablets wrapped in layers of roots, as well as the unclear word "My Wife" on the stone tablet on the left...

At this moment, a figure appeared in Du Qian's eyes, blocking the two stone tablets.

Du Qian was stunned and looked up, only to see a white-haired old man standing in front of the oval bulge, holding an iron tree crutch and looking at Du Qian with stern eyes.

Sensing the hostility in the white-haired old man's eyes, Du Qian blinked and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your Taoist friend's personal privacy..."

"snort!"

The white-haired old man snorted softly, held the crutch in his hand, and said calmly: "Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

Having said this, the white-haired old man paused and asked in a hesitant tone: "Is... was it the Immortal who sent you here?"

Du Qian shrugged and said with a smile: "I really want to say yes, but after all, you have met the Immortal and you should know his temper."

"What a coincidence. What I want to do is not in line with the temperament of that immortal. If I pretend to use his name, you will definitely see through it. It will be unpleasant if the time comes!"

"So, I won't hide anything from you, I'll just get straight to the point..."

Du Qian paused slightly and said in a serious tone: "I want your Iron Tree Fairy Fruit and Iron Tree Flower."

The white-haired old man's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of silence, he turned around with his crutches, his back to Du Qian, and said calmly: "Since I came here for the Iron Tree Flower, please forgive me for being unable to do so. Fellow Taoist, you should choose another way!"

Du Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

The white-haired old man stopped and tilted his head slightly, indicating that he was listening.

Du Qian smiled and said: "To be honest, I am actually just a pioneer. The one who really asked for the Iron Tree Fairy Fruit and Iron Tree Flower is not me, but a mortal who fell in love with a monster."

"..."

After hearing Du Qian's last words, the white-haired old man's hand holding the cane trembled slightly.

Du Qian noticed this and said with a smile: "How about it? It's a familiar story, right?"

"By coincidence, I also heard another story about a human-male falling in love from an elder."

"It is said that a long time ago, there was an iron tree. He was talented, practiced hard, and had good luck, so he quickly became a spirit. However, when he transformed into a human and traveled around the world, he suddenly fell in love with a mortal. woman."

"Iron Tree Demon has been practicing alone before and has never known what love is, so he can deal with loneliness indifferently and practice quietly."

"But when he came to the human world and tasted the seven emotions and six desires, he could no longer endure the boring practice. Of course, he soon fell in love with the mortal woman, got married and had children..."

"But one day, an immortal passed by this place and discovered the iron tree demon."

"The Immortal felt that it was not easy for the iron tree to become a spirit and that cultivation was difficult, so he kindly gave him some advice and said that as long as the flower bloomed once more, he would be able to become an immortal."

"The iron tree demon wanted to become an immortal, but he couldn't let go of his beloved wife and son, so he fell into great pain."

"This pain is a necessary disaster for the Iron Tree Demon on his way to becoming an immortal. He should have gone through it by himself, but what he didn't expect was... no, it should be said that even that powerful immortal didn't expect that the Iron Tree The demon's wife saw her husband in such pain, so she threw her son into the lake on a rainy night in order to satisfy her husband. "

At this point, Du Qian turned his eyes, looked at the oval protrusion, and said softly: "Afterwards, the Iron Tree Demon was devastated. In order to atone for his sins to his family, he has been guarding the dark cave since then. The graves of my wife and children swear they will never bloom!”

"What a sad story..."

Du Qian sighed, then looked at the back of the white-haired old man, and said softly: "My story was learned from the mouth of the immortal, so it is a bit brief, but there should be a more detailed story from my fellow Taoist. Bar?"

"..."

The white-haired old man let out a long sigh, turned his back to Du Qian, turned to look at the two tombstones wrapped by roots, and said softly: "Since fellow Taoist already knows everything from the immortal, why are you still embarrassing me?"

Du Qian shook his head: "What you said, fellow Taoist, is wrong. I am not embarrassing you. The one who is really embarrassing you is yourself!"

"In this story, the immortal kindly enlightens the younger generation. This is not wrong. The iron tree demon wants to become an immortal. she."

"It's precisely because everyone in the story can't say what's right or wrong, so the Iron Tree Demon blames all the mistakes on himself."

Du Qian looked at the white-haired old man calmly and said: "You are punishing yourself... but have you ever thought that everyone in the story is working hard for the Iron Tree Demon to become an immortal. You are so self-destructive that you are not worthy of an immortal." Is his enlightenment worthy of the sacrifice of his wife and children, and worthy of the reward of God for his hard work in the past thousands of years? "

Hearing Du Qian's words, the white-haired old man turned around slowly and said calmly: "I have heard these words from fellow Taoist friends from several old friends over the years, but... how can it be so easy to let go? ”

"Fellow Taoist, it's better to leave. Don't waste your breath on me..."

Sure enough?

Du Qian sighed, feeling a little disappointed that his rhetoric failed to accomplish anything.

But then, he cheered up again, looked at the white-haired old man and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just said it below, I am just a pioneer, the one who really wants to ask you for Iron Tree Flower is a mortal who falls in love with a monster. "

"He will be here soon. If you are even slightly shaken in your heart, fellow Taoist, you might as well be more patient. After he comes, it will not be too late to make a decision!"

"..."

The white-haired old man fell silent. After a long time, he whispered: "Then... I will just wait."

Sure enough, dad was right, use magic to deal with magic.

If you want to convince a stubborn love brain, you have to let another love brain take action.

The iron tree demon has been guarding the tombs of his wife and children for hundreds of years, and he will never be easily swayed by words. Only when the same human-monster falls in love, and it is a mortal who has the opposite stance to him, can he be interested.

A smile appeared on Du Qian's face, and he immediately said with a smile: "It's too boring to wait. If my fellow Taoist is so interested, how about you cooperate and put on a show in front of those mortals?"

The white-haired old man was silent for a moment and said, "How do you want me to cooperate?"
