The two little guys immediately became more vigilant and stared at him closely.
"We don't have the Wood Spirit Pearl here, and we haven't heard of it either. What are you looking for for it? Do you want to take it away?"
One sentence was full of loopholes, revealing the truth that they were not ignorant, but Hou Zi didn't want to expose anything.
"I'm not looking for it to take it away, but I want to stay here and learn something from it, something about nature and life that we humans have not mastered."
"Really?" The two little guys doubted that they could feel the sincerity of this human being, but the matter was so big that they didn't dare to believe their feelings easily. They looked at each other and decided to follow this guy.
.
"Since that's the case, we have nothing to do anyway, so let's go look for it with you, right?"
Hou Ting expressed his welcome. Of course he knew what these two guys who couldn't hide their troubles were thinking. This was what he wanted to do. If he couldn't find any trace of the Wood Spirit Pearl, he could only find it from Beimu Forest.
The wood spirit natives started.
The three of them were together, but what the two wood elves didn't understand was how dangerous it was to be with a human who was deeply obsessed with the world. This almost foreshadowed that the two of them were destined to be pulled into a broken human ship.
But on the tenth day, the three of them were already like brothers. The bodies of the two little guys were covered with all kinds of gaudy objects from the mortal world. This was the friendship between friends, so it was nothing.
"I thought you two were stupid. Do you know the way? We seem to have been here before, right?" Hou Ting naturally complained.
The two little guys excused themselves without any fuss, "They said we don't know anything, so we can only guess. We didn't care about this before..."
Xiao Mushroom looked at him curiously, "Brother Hou, I think you don't seem to care too much?"
Hou Ting smiled and said: "Why should you care? In your life, things will not go as planned 90% of the time, so how can you be perfect? I am lucky to gain it, but I will lose my life. Even if I can't find anything this time, at least I still know each other.
You two friends? Come to the southwest when you have time, and I will take you to see the snow-capped mountains."
Little Tail also didn't understand, "Don't humans insist on never giving up until the goal is achieved? Otherwise, you can't succeed in cultivation."
Hou Ting waved his hand, "That's just some people, but I prefer to let nature take its course. If I can't find it, maybe I don't have the chance, right?"
Xiao Mushroom's eyes flashed, "If Brother Hou can't find him, will he leave?"
Hou Ting thought for a while, "Not in a short time. I will probably stay here for a few years, see the scenery here, and collect dew like you do. I won't be able to drink it if I leave."
Forget it, stop looking. If there is any interesting place in Beimu Forest, you can take me there."
His free and easy character was beyond the expectations of the two little guys. After these days of getting along, they already knew this human being very well. In every moment of their daily life, a vivid human being appeared in front of them.
For the wood spirits, it is enough to judge the character of this human being.
The two little guys looked at each other, and Xiao Mushroom spoke, "Brother Hou, we really don't know if the Wood Spirit Pearl you mentioned is in Beimu Forest? If it is, where is it? But we do know who should know this.
Why don't we take you to him? But I'm not sure if he will accept your request?"
Hou Ting laughed and made no secret of his love. He grabbed the two little guys and slapped them on the buttocks several times.
"How dare you hide something secret from your brother Hou? Quickly lead the way. Well, first tell me who this great senior is? What are his hobbies? He also knows how to flatter!"
Giggling, Little Mushroom straightened his back proudly, "It's true that he is an old-timer, an old-timer who cannot be older, but you can't flatter him, because we don't know what he likes.
What don’t you like…”
Hou Ting walked deep into the forest under the leadership of the two little guys. From their mouths, he knew the identity of this old wood spirit. He was a beech tree that had become a spirit, but its annual rings were extremely long.
, none of the wood spirits and monsters in the Long North Wood Forest know its past.
All the wood spirits in Beimu Forest call him Eunuch Beech, who is highly respected. There is no hierarchy in the wood spirit world, but Eunuch Beech's words still carry a lot of weight, and everyone is willing to listen to him.
If there really is any secret in Beimu Forest, then the first person to know it must be Mr. Beech.
"Is it very far?" Hou Zi had this question at the beginning of his journey. He thought that finding a tree in the forest was as difficult as finding a special drop of water in the ocean.
Little Mushroom disagreed, "Of course not, we can find it soon. Every beech tree in Beimu Forest is a clone of my father-in-law. We only need to find one."
Hou Ting's heart moved, "Does that mean that every wood spirit and monster in the Beimu Forest is unique? There is only one father-in-law in the beech tree, and other beech trees cannot become spirits? The little mushrooms and the little tails can't become spirits.
Just like that, besides you, there will never be another little mushroom tail that has become a spirit in the forest?"
The two little guys puffed up their chests proudly, "Of course, we are all unique."
In fact, in other words, they are an immortal existence in the Northwood Forest. Unless you cut down all the beech trees and pick all the mushrooms, it is simply impossible.
It is precisely because of this rule that the number of wood spirits and monsters in Beimu Forest is limited. What determines the number is how many types of plants there are in Beimu Forest. For a forest, it is conceivable that there are thousands of species.
of.
It only took less than a moment for them to find a beech forest, and they chose the strongest, tallest, and of course the longest tree ring among them.
The little mushroom and the little tail pressed their bodies tightly against the rough bark of the beech tree, speaking words that humans could not understand in the ancient wood spirit language. After a long time, a hoarse voice sounded like the bottom of a pot,
"Human, are you going to collect the Wood Spirit Pearl?"
Hou Ting respectfully said, "My father-in-law, it is not to receive, but to understand; the spiritual pearls are given by heaven and should not belong to any individual race; by chance, I have already come into contact with three of the five elements of spiritual pearls, so I dream of having a glimpse of them all and completing the five elements."
build.
I heard someone said that the Wood Spirit Pearl might appear in Beimu Forest, so I came all the way from thousands of miles away, just to seek enlightenment, not to possess it. This oath can be learned from the sun and the moon."
Father-in-law Maoju was silent for a long time, and then he spoke, "I can feel the power of the five elements in your body, but it is not three elements as you said, but four elements. Among them, the wooden element has entered the room. What do you say?"
