Dream Guide

Aoki walked to the center of the altar, where there was originally a tall, bamboo-shaped stone standing there, but it was blown up by Petru with a grenade the last time it floated into the air.

There are still stone chips scattered on the ground. I don't know whether they were broken by explosions or fell down.

But in this way, the symbols carved on the bottom of the altar can be seen directly without having to wait for the stone to float into the air.

Aoki gently touched the two connected triangle symbols with his hand, feeling the ancient atmosphere from the stone carving lines. Some invisible brilliance flowed through the seams, passed along his fingers, and reached his brain, flashing bright and dim light spots in his consciousness.

The crow croaked, flapped its wings and landed on the ground. It swayed and swung back and forth among the black stones. Then it stuck its head out and said excitedly: "Caw, this seems to be... …a tree?"

Aoki looked in the direction it pointed and saw that there were indeed other stone carving lines on the ground, which were shallower than the hourglass symbol. They extended out and were covered by black stones, but the appearance of a tree could be vaguely seen.

The crow happily led Qingmu to one side, pointed at the ground and said, "Look, look, quack, is that a bird?"

Aoki smiled and said: "It looks a lot like you!"

The crow held its head with its wings and thought for a while, then said, "It's not as bad as me!"

Aoki returned to the center of the altar again, looked at the hourglass symbol of the awakened person, and rubbed the ebony staff in his hand.

The crow asked impatiently: "Hey, didn't you say you know how to get home? Hurry up, I'm thinking like a flower!"

Aoki smiled and said: "You just want to fuck your elbows, right?"

The crow seemed to have been seriously injured, covering his chest and said: "Hey, it's so sad for you to say this... How could I be this kind of person... No, this kind of bird!... Please don't do it in the future." Let’s mention the words sauce... sauce elbow again..."

However, Aoki no longer paid attention to him, but stared at the ground in a daze, as if thinking about something important, with a painful look on his face from time to time.

The coal boss was already used to this and said: "Hey, if you can't remember it, don't think about it. Never forget that you are just a piece of wood. Go home first. Don't waste time forgetting the things you finally remembered." Quack!"

Seeing that Aoki didn't respond, it flew to his head, scratched his scalp, and said anxiously, "You can't really forget it again, right?"

Aoki said: "Do you still remember the day we first arrived at Liuying Lane?"

The crow said: "Of course I remember... That day you stood under the tree like a log... Oh, you were originally a log... No, when did you become a log?... Oh oh..."

Seeing that it was about to change the topic again, Aoki quickly stopped it and said, "Then do you remember how we got there?"

"How did you get there? Of course you walked... by car... by flying... um..." Crow thought for a long time, "Hey! I really don't seem to remember!"

It jumped anxiously and asked Aoki, "Do you remember?"

"I don't remember either." Aoki shook his head and suddenly looked into the distance, "But I remembered other things."

His eyes were dull, and some vague pictures appeared in his mind. It was a dark room, with the shadows of flames flashing on the windows. He put on his windbreaker and zip-tops, kicked open the door, and saw a raging sea of ​​fire. He rushed out in a hurry, but tripped over something. The flames immediately surrounded him and his consciousness...

Then he saw the willow tree, with its branches hanging down like a green door curtain. He stood inside the curtain and felt at home.

"Then do you know how to get back to Gua?" The coal boss knocked on his head.

Aoki calmed down, "I'm not sure, but it's very possible. But now, I'm not sure whether I should activate this altar."

Crow was very curious, "Why not?"

"I had a hunch that activating the altar was a mistake," Aoki said.

I wonder if Situ also has such a premonition? Aoki thought.

He raised his head and looked at the five suns in the sky. Because of the spiritual guidance of the sacred staff, theoretically, Situ should have found the stone altar when he returned to the wooden altar. If the change in the number of suns in the sky is related to the activation of the altar, then once Situ activates the stone altar, the number of suns here will also change, will it become six? Or seven?

Since there is no change now, it means that the Stone Altar has not been activated yet. So did Situ run into some trouble, or was he hesitating like him?

The crow didn't care what he was thinking and asked, "Do I have to activate the altar when I go home?"

Aoki nodded: "Yes."

"Then it's right to activate the altar." The crow grabbed Aoki's hair with its claws, stood up straight, and said righteously, "Because it's right to go home!"

…

Bishenghua walked through the newly built nine-wind corridor and stood by the lake, looking at the blue sky and white clouds reflected in the clear lake water, as if it was a world away.

After more than two years, the mulberry garden finally took shape. The entire layout was planned by Bi Shenghua who hired experts and based on the garden map given by Professor Mei. Except for some parts that really do not conform to the concept of modern garden architecture, most of the places retain the original appearance of the mulberry garden.

Everything went smoothly. The only thing that confused Bishenghua was what to do next for greening. According to the name of the mulberry garden and the sporadic records in ancient books, the garden should be filled with mulberry trees, and even a forest of mulberry trees within a radius of dozens of miles is not in line with the garden standards. How can there be an ancient garden full of mulberry trees? ?

In the picture given by the professor, we can't see what kind of trees were originally planted in the mulberry garden. We can only see the giant mulberry tree and the old willow by the lake.

Whether to plant mulberry trees in the garden is not the biggest issue now. For Bishenghua, the most important thing is to save the old willow tree. But the problem is that the old willow occupies the position of the original giant mulberry. If it wants to be restored, the old willow tree must be transplanted to the lakeside, and then an old mulberry tree must be found and transplanted to the current position of the willow tree.

But where can I find such a big mulberry tree?

Moreover, the willow tree is too old, and it is hard to say whether it can withstand the torment. In addition, the root system of the willow tree is spread underground, and even experts cannot say that it cannot be moved.

Life span flowers also tend to be immobile. After all, this garden was originally built to protect this tree. This is a very stubborn consciousness that she left in her memory.

But this is a mulberry garden, it can’t be changed to a willow garden, right?

So she considered either finding a big mulberry tree and planting it where the willow tree used to be by the lake.

She is standing in this position now.

In this way, the layout of the entire mulberry garden is similar to the ancient map. The only difference is that the positions of the mulberry trees have been changed, which can be regarded as a witness to the changes in the times.

Just when she was thinking this, she suddenly saw a green seedling emerging from the soil at her feet.

The garden is newly opened, no trees have been planted yet, and the ground is full of weeds. But Bishenghua recognized it at a glance. It was a willow seedling.
