After a moment of silence, Shi Lan spoke:

"Do you still remember the huge golden tree you saw when we first landed in the mirage?"

"Uh..." Tianming was stunned when he heard this, and then he stretched out his hand to make gestures and said in a sighing tone, "Are you talking about that tree with golden leaves, red trunk, and a very, very big tree?"

Tianming used three special words in a row to express the shock he felt at that time.

Because it's really too big.

Even the white tiger, which is already a giant to ordinary people, is as small as a mosquito in front of that giant tree.

Every detail is thicker than Tianming's entire body. The exposed roots above the surface are like huge overturned ravines. It is difficult for Tianming to climb up. While the dense and dazzling tree crown blocks the sky and the sun, it is like a giant tree.

Like a little sun, it shines brightly.

Unfortunately, the fall of the white tiger made too much noise, so they did not dare to stay there for too long and left in a hurry, failing to observe the tree more carefully.

Shaoyu also remembered the tree freshly, nodded and agreed:

"Indeed, that tree is too big, and its origin must not be simple."

Shi Lan nodded when he heard this and said in a very serious tone, "That tree is my purpose."

"That tree is called the Fusang Sacred Tree. It is a sacred tree that our Shushan clan has guarded for generations. It is our faith and a sacred object that we are sworn to protect."

"Some time ago, the imperial general named Meng Tian led troops to attack Shushan, and finally defeated our tribe and took away the sacred tree."

"Fuso Sacred Tree..." Tianming scratched his head and had no other reaction to the name except confusion.

After all, we cannot have too high demands on a husband.

In comparison, Shao Yu's reaction was much greater.

"Isn't this the legendary sacred tree?"

Shao Yu widened his eyes and looked at Shi Lan in disbelief, "How can such a legendary thing really exist in reality!?"

Regarding Shao Yu's subconscious doubts, Shi Lan was not angry and responded calmly:

"I don't know your myths and legends, but the name of the sacred tree Fuso has been passed down in Shushan for thousands of years. It has always stood on the top of Shushan and is worshiped by all Shushan people. It has never been a 'legendary thing'."

"Hey! Please stop for a moment and take care of me, who doesn't understand anything, okay?" Tian Ming hurriedly interrupted the two of them.

Shaoyu glanced at his husband's friend, smiled helplessly, and explained:

"In the myths spread in our Chu country and other places, the Fusang sacred tree is the habitat of the sun god in ancient times, and is the gateway connecting the three worlds of heaven (god), earth (underworld), and human beings."

"There is a divine bird with three legs and a golden crow perched and flying on it, which can guide mortals to cross the three realms and realize their wishes. At the same time, there is a divine dragon entrenched under the tree."

After hearing this, Shi Lan said:

"I have never heard of wish fulfillment or anything like that, but according to the records passed down from generation to generation in Shushan, the Fuso sacred tree is indeed a gateway that connects the three realms and communicates between gods and humans, and it is indeed inhabited by sacred birds."

"Oh..." Tian Ming nodded in understanding, "I probably understand... connecting the three realms does sound unreliable."

"But..." Tianming changed the subject and accepted the existence of the Fuso tree, "I am willing to believe in Shi Lan."

"I think in comparison, something like the Demon God of War is more outrageous!"

"Uh..." With Tianming's reminder, Shao Yu had nothing to worry about anymore, "You are right, the Fuso Sacred Tree... is understandable."

"Well... if you put it this way, it's no wonder that the empire specially sent a large army to attack Shushan to snatch the sacred tree."

Tianming did not continue to dwell on the legend behind the sacred tree, and asked Shi Lan further:

"So Shi Lan, you came to Songhai just to get your sacred tree back?"

"Yes." Shi Lan nodded, "The sacred tree... is very important. We must not let it fall into the hands of the Yin Yang family. We must take it back."

"My brother, I, and a group of clan members followed the traces of the sacred tree all the way to Songhai, and finally determined that the Fuso sacred tree would be carried here and sent to the mirage."

"In order to inquire about the situation on the mirage in advance and prepare for retrieving the sacred tree, my brother took the risk and sneaked into the mirage, but then... there was no news from him again."

Shaoyu nodded suddenly, "So you went to the mirage to find your brother."

"Well..." Shi Lan nodded again and emphasized at the same time, "The most important task is to recapture the sacred tree at all costs!"

"If something happens to the sacred tree, the consequences will be serious. Many people...may die!"

"Huh?" When Tianming Shaoyu heard this, he couldn't help but look at each other.

"Can you tell us why, Shi Lan?" Shao Yu asked further.

Shi Lan did not tell them about Yu Yuan's seal, but simply replied:

"The mission of protecting the sacred tree in Shushan for generations is to prevent this from happening."

When the two of them saw what she said, they stopped asking further questions.

In short, the problem is definitely not small, otherwise there is no need for the tribe to stay in the mountains all the time.

"Okay!" Tianming patted his chest and said boldly, "Let Shaoyu and I help you with this matter!"

"In the name of the Mohist giant, we will definitely help you regain the sacred tree!"

Shao Yu also echoed, "Yes, we have a duty to do this!"

Shi Lan shook his head when he heard this and refused:

"Tianming, Shaoyu, I'm very grateful that you are willing to help me, but this is Shushan's matter and I can't involve you."

"What are you talking about!" Tianming waved his hand and said, "We are good friends, your business is our business, not to mention you also said that this involves the lives of many people, and we should also save it.

Everyone contributes.”

Shao Yu helped, "Yes, Shi Lan, you have saved us so many times, we cannot just sit idly by and ignore you when you are in trouble."
