In the early morning, the dense forest was filled with mist and moisture.

In the silent forest, birds fly by, flying to the blue sky outside the dense forest with a cry. These free birds are so enviable, especially when people lose their freedom.

The dense forest is full of lush trees. The ferns in the lower areas and the ancient trees reaching into the sky form a primeval forest, quietly located around the Western Mountain.

There is an ancient red tree that is neither tall nor short. Not only the leaves are red, but the trunk is also red. It is nestled in the dense forest on the hillside and looks very special.

Not only because of its color, which is completely red, but there is also a large iron cage hanging on the tree, and a gray-haired old woman is actually imprisoned in the iron cage.

The sun shone in, making the iron cage sparkle. But the old woman tried hard to twist the bars of the iron cage in an attempt to escape.

"Stop dreaming!" An old man in gray clothes was sitting on the tree and said coldly: "As long as you don't agree to leave the old beggar, don't even think about escaping! How can you escape from this wishful cage?"

The old woman was Grandma Liu. She didn't speak, but she still used her old hands to twist the fence, even though her hands didn't have much strength anymore.

Grandma Liu had not eaten for two days. She was imprisoned in this cage and was dying. She just subconsciously wanted to escape. But how could she escape?

The Ruyi Cage is an immortal weapon given by the Southern Emperor to the messenger of the sacred tree. Even if the immortal is imprisoned in this cage, he cannot escape, let alone an old woman.

The messenger of Shenmu said coldly: "If you don't agree to me, I'm afraid this old life will stay here, hehe."

He sat very comfortably on a branch of a big tree and watched with cold eyes as Granny Liu's vitality was lost bit by bit.

***

The sun rises higher and higher, shining on Nan'ao Island and the forest of Xishan.

I don't know when it started, but there was no more noise in the cage. Shenmu felt warm in the sun, raised his head and said, "Old woman, if you promise me, I will let you go back immediately. Why are you so stubborn?"

There was still no sound in the cage. This surprised the messenger of Shenmu. He jumped to the side of Ruyi's cage and saw that Granny Liu was already dead!

Her eyes were still looking towards the southeast of the town, obviously with eyes fixed on her eyes.

The messenger of Shenmu couldn't help showing a hint of reluctance, and said to himself: "Why did you go against the Southern Emperor? It's no wonder that I imprisoned you!"

He pointed at the Ruyi cage and said: "Open!" The cage opened a door, and he stretched out his hand to lift Granny Liu out of the cage. He pointed at the cage again and said: "Small!" The Ruyi cage suddenly became as big as a palm, and he took it in

In arms.

He said to himself: "I still have to find a place to bury you. It's really unlucky..." while flying down the tree to find a place to bury Granny Liu.

Just when the sacred tree envoy left the ancient sacred tree, two figures came out of the forest, one was fat and the other was an agile young man.

The fat man looked at the ancient red tree carefully and said: "Well, this is the sacred tree. The only sacred tree on Nan'ao Island. When we cut down the sacred tree, you can take the wood back and refine your bracelet, killing two birds with one stone."

The young man also looked around and said, "Grandpa Beggar, where is my mother-in-law? Why don't I see my mother-in-law and the sacred tree messenger?!"

The two people who came were Grandpa Beggar and Liu San.

Grandpa Beggar thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about it for now. Just wait here for Shenmu to come back. He may be gone for a while."

Liu San could only nod his head and said: "Grandpa Beggar, please leave first. I will deal with the sacred tree!"

Grandpa Beggar took out a jug of wine and a pack of beef jerky from his arms and handed them to Liu San. He turned around and hid in the dense forest. Liu San was left alone to wait for the messenger of the sacred tree to return.
