At that time, Chen Xuan seemed to have been in a coma for about three days. After waking up, there were many, many rumors about Chen Xuan.
But Chen Xuan didn't even know.
He spent a very peaceful time in the house of Venerable Shenmu.
Chen Xuan opened his eyes in a hazy state, and then saw a very thin old man.
With just one glance, Chen Xuan could tell that this old man was extraordinary.
Of course, in addition to seeing something unusual about Venerable Shenmu, Chen Xuan also saw some other things about Venerable Shenmu.
That is this Venerable Shenmu. Although he is said to be very strong in cultivation, his health seems to be not very good.
Chen Xuan, who had just woken up, was very weak and could not even speak. He was already a little tired just looking at Venerable Shenmu.
At that time, Venerable Shenmu was sitting beside Chen Xuan's bed. The moment Chen Xuan opened his eyes, he looked at Venerable Shenmu.
"you're awake."
Venerable Shenmu's voice is very rich and sounds very soothing.
Chen Xuan glanced around, then looked at Lord Shenmu and said, "Did you save me?"
Venerable Shenmu waved his hand and said: "It's not me who saved you, it was this forest that saved you."
At that time, Chen Xuan still did not understand what Venerable Shenmu said. He said that the forest saved him. Chen Xuan still doubted the authenticity of his words.
But because his physical condition was not very good at the time, Chen Xuan didn't say anything more.
Sometimes, Chen Xuan's eyesight is very accurate. For some people, Chen Xuan can tell at a glance whether that person is a good person or a bad person.
Venerable Shenmu has an obvious aura of being a good person.
Although Chen Xuan knew that it was dangerous to have such thoughts about a stranger, Chen Xuan still thought that way.
After all, the person who brought Chen Xuan back for several days and saved him from doing anything wrong to him can indeed be called a good person.
Of course, despite this, Chen Xuan still needs to be on guard against Venerable Shenmu.
"You're a boy, you're very capable and courageous."
After taking Chen Xuan's pulse, Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan with a kind smile on his face and said.
When Chen Xuan heard this, he actually didn't want to answer anything.
He thought at the time that perhaps in the eyes of Venerable Shenmu, he was just a young boy with some abilities, but Chen Xuan did not want to explain this at all.
He was capable, but Venerable Shenmu knew that he had annihilated the Hydra demon.
But what he didn't know was that only Chen Xuan himself knew how difficult the process was.
At that time, Chen Xuan was thinking in his heart that if he had a chance to make a choice, he would definitely not challenge this Hydra demon.
He still wants to live a little longer.
But at that time, Chen Xuan raised his hand with difficulty, looked at the scars on his hand, and thought with a chuckle, although the process was very difficult, fortunately, Chen Xuan did annihilate the Hydra demon.
Just this point alone made Chen Xuan feel very pleased.
Although Chen Xuan still feels that the process is a bit too difficult.
When Master Shenmu asked him questions, Chen Xuan just lay there and looked at the structure of the roof.
Seeing that Chen Xuan did not answer him, Master Shenmu mentioned Chen Xuan's injury.
"The ribs are almost completely broken, and one right leg and one left arm are broken. Your cultivation strength is five levels lower than that of the Hydra demon. Coupled with the unfavorable environment of dense fog and swamps, you are actually able to destroy the Nine-headed Snake Demon."
Kill the snake-headed monster, young man, you will definitely do great things in the future."
In fact, Chen Xuan was tired of hearing this, but this was really the first time Chen Xuan had suffered such a serious injury.
But Chen Xuan himself had already predicted it.
When he killed the Hydra demon, Chen Xuan really felt that he was about to die.
But he believed in his heart that the system would not let him die, so when he was unconscious, Chen Xuan felt quite uneasy.
He himself knew what kind of injuries he suffered, but Chen Xuan really didn't know such specific details.
Chen Xuan just knew that at the end, his body was completely numb.
Only constant attacks can make Chen Xuan feel that he is still alive.
This situation really reached a desperate situation in Chen Xuan's heart. At the last moment, Chen Xuan was still cursing the system in his mind.
Why let yourself take on this challenge?
Chen Xuan did not respond at all to Venerable Shenmu's words. He only blinked occasionally so that Venerable Shenmu could see that he was still alive.
Venerable Shenmu was actually a little surprised at Chen Xuan's lack of answer.
Looking at Chen Xuan, Venerable Shenmu said: "It shouldn't be? The spiritual roots of your voice are not damaged. It may be hoarse, but it won't make you unable to speak."
As he spoke, Venerable Shenmu pursed his lips and looked at Chen Xuan.
Then he said in surprise: "Isn't it because you can't hear it?!
"
After hearing the words of Venerable Shenmu, Chen Xuan turned his head and glanced at Venerable Shenmu.
Then he said: "Didn't I already have a conversation with you just now?"
After hearing Chen Xuan's reply, Venerable Shenmu smiled and said, "That's not true of me. You keep ignoring me."
Hearing this, Chen Xuan paused and then said, "I'm very tired."
After finishing speaking, Chen Xuan felt that it was not good to be so indifferent to his savior.
So he said again: "Thank you for saving me, I will repay you later."
Hearing this, Venerable Shenmu shook his head and said, "I didn't save you."
Chen Xuan looked at Venerable Shenmu again. To be honest, he really didn't guess what Venerable Shenmu was thinking at that time.
After hearing what Venerable Shenmu said, Chen Xuan looked outside and saw lush trees everywhere.
Then Chen Xuan suddenly thought that this was the sacred tree realm.
Then this extraordinary person in front of me...
Chen Xuan thought for a moment, looked at Lord Shenmu and asked, "Are you Lord Shenmu?"
Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan with a faint smile on his face, and then said: "I am Venerable Shenmu."
Rumors say that a forest will have a patron saint. This person is born by condensing the power of the forest. He lives to protect the forest and dies to protect the forest.
Chen Xuan looked at Venerable Shenmu in surprise.
All the spiritual power of Venerable Shenmu comes from the forest. In fact, it is no wonder that Venerable Shenmu always said that this forest saved Chen Xuan.
"Thank you to this forest for saving me."
After hearing Chen Xuan's words, Venerable Shenmu smiled with satisfaction.
Looking at the person in front of him, Venerable Shenmu said: "If you are really grateful, then repay this forest."
In fact, when he heard Venerable Shenmu say these words, Chen Xuan's heart did not waver.
Many people in this world are actually like this. After receiving a favor, they want to get something in return, including Chen Xuan himself.
And although Venerable Shenmu kept emphasizing that it was this forest that saved Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan still felt in his heart that Venerable Shenmu saved him.
What Venerable Shenmu said was that he wanted Chen Xuan to repay Venerable Shenmu.
"I told you before that I will repay you."
Hearing Chen Xuan's words, Venerable Shenmu shook his head and said, "It is to repay this forest."
In fact, when Venerable Shenmu said this at that time, Chen Xuan had no good impression of him at all.
After all, in Chen Xuan's understanding, it was Lord Shenmu who wanted to get Chen Xuan's reward, but he always emphasized that he wanted Chen Xuan to repay this forest.
In Chen Xuan's heart, this really caused a huge drop in his favorability.
However, in Chen Xuan's eyes at the time, the two of them met by chance, so although Chen Xuan was not very comfortable, he didn't say much.
"The forest is not easy, but since your physical condition is not very good at this time, you can just plant 500 trees."
Chen Xuan: "......?"
When he heard the words of Venerable Shenmu, Chen Xuanzhen was shocked in his heart.
He thought that Venerable Shenmu would go to Chen Xuan to ask for jewelry, gold, silver, spiritual stones, etc.
But I never expected that Venerable Shenmu would ask Chen Xuan to plant trees?
For a moment, Chen Xuan was still a little unbelievable.
"What did you say?" Chen Xuan asked Venerable Shenmu in shock.
Lord Shenmu smiled and said: "The best reward for the forest is, of course, more trees. Don't worry, I will provide you with saplings. Of course, if you have saplings, I will be very happy."
of."
When he heard the words of Venerable Shenmu, Chen Xuan's heart really collapsed.
He felt very guilty for the disrespect he had just shown towards Venerable Shenmu, and said: "I can give you jewelry, all kinds of things, but I won't plant trees for you."
After hearing Chen Xuan's words, Venerable Shenmu immediately became dissatisfied.
"Why would an old man like me want that kind of thing? I don't want it. Either plant trees or follow me here to guard the forest. You choose one."
Chen Xuan: "..."
What Venerable Shenmu said was really too serious. It is true that Chen Xuan at that time still couldn't beat Venerable Shenmu, and not only that, Chen Xuan at that time was also seriously injured.
But what Chen Xuan was thinking in his heart was that he was indeed seriously injured now, but he would definitely get better, and he would probably be able to leave here in just a few days.
At that time, what Chen Xuan was thinking was that when his injury healed a little, he would leave something valuable to Venerable Shenmu as a reward for saving his life.
Then Chen Xuan left this place.
But Venerable Shenmu's next words made Chen Xuan feel despair.
"Don't think about running away. Although you are somewhat capable, my cultivation strength is stronger than that of the Hydra demon, and you are seriously injured now.
You are still within my territory, and if I don’t want you to leave, there is absolutely no way you will leave.”
Chen Xuan was speechless. Silence was the best answer at this moment.
Immediately Chen Xuan even summoned the system.
In fact, Chen Xuan didn't want to hear the system's voice for the time being. If it weren't for the system, Chen Xuan would most likely be resting at this time.
I would never come to this ghost place, let alone be forced to plant trees.
"What's going on? Why didn't you save me then?"
Chen Xuan questioned the system in his mind.
The system simply replied: "When the system was about to take the host away for treatment, Venerable Shenmu appeared to save the host. There were examples before."
Of course Chen Xuan knew that this example existed, and Chen Xuan wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it if it happened.
But it was this that made Chen Xuan stay here to plant trees, and Chen Xuan couldn't accept it.
"Heal my injury quickly!
"
Chen Xuan roared in his mind, "It's best to get rid of me now and let me heal myself!
"
Chen Xuan looked at Venerable Shenmu's eyes that were about to eat him, and Chen Xuan really wanted to run away immediately.
But the system's reply was very ruthless.
"Host, the situation has been formed and the system cannot be changed. Please let the host take its course. Moreover, after three months, there will be new tasks. Please cultivate yourself well."
After saying that, the system ran away.
At that time, Chen Xuan really wanted to destroy this system.
I was seriously injured and now I have to plant 500 trees, but the system said there will be a new task in three months.
It took a hundred days to recover from the broken bones and muscles, and Chen Xuanzhen was almost heartbroken.
Especially when I saw Venerable Shenmu's very intense gaze.
"I won't plant a tree for you."
Chen Xuan said coldly.
Originally, Chen Xuan thought that Venerable Shenmu would be relatively sad, but unexpectedly, Venerable Shenmu became even more excited. He looked at Chen Xuando and said, "Then do you want to stay here and guard the forest with me?"
To be honest, when Chen Xuan looked at the appearance of Venerable Shenmu, he really felt that Venerable Shenmu went to that place on purpose to save Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan looked at the very excited Venerable Shenmu, and then uttered two words in his mouth, "Dream."
When he heard Chen Xuan's words, Venerable Shenmu had a disappointed expression on his face. He looked at Chen Xuan and said: "You have no other choice, either plant a tree or stay.
Anyway, your body still needs some time to adjust, so think about it carefully."
As he spoke, Venerable Shenmu stood up, looking as if he was about to go out, but turned sideways and faced Chen Xuan again.
He looked at Chen Xuan and said with great pity: "Actually, I personally suggest that you don't plant trees as far as your body is concerned, just stay here and guard the forest with me. I don't have many years to live.
When I live to the end, this forest will be yours."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan looked at Venerable Shenmu and felt a little sad for some reason.
But sadness is sadness, and Chen Xuan has no intention of being tempted at all.
He said impatiently: "I am a young man in my prime, what can I do with you here?"
Upon hearing this, Venerable Shenmu's eyes flashed brightly. Looking at the person in front of him, Venerable Shenmu said, "You can plant trees if you stay here."
Chen Xuan: "..."
Silence is Cambridge at this moment.
Chen Xuan has never been so speechless in his life.
Soon Lord Shenmu sensed Chen Xuan's helplessness, and then immediately said: "By the way, if you don't want to plant trees, you can go to the forest to help other small animals."
Chen Xuan looked at Lord Shenmu speechlessly, and then said: "Didn't you just say that I will do something great in the future? Is it possible that the great achievement in your heart is to stay here to plant trees and help small animals?"
After hearing this, Venerable Shenmu fell silent.
After a while, Venerable Shenmu raised his head and glanced at the house and said, "It's okay. If you don't want to stay, you can leave after planting the five hundred trees."
In fact, when Chen Xuan heard this sentence, he wanted to say that he would never plant trees at all.
But he was a little worried. If Chen Xuan said this, Lord Shenmu would ask Chen Xuan to stay.
It is better to plant trees than to stay.
Chen Xuan should never have called Venerable Shenmu pedantic before.
But Chen Xuan really didn't understand why Chen Xuan had to be allowed to plant trees in the forest.
There are obviously many trees in the forest, right?
At that time, Chen Xuan was thinking in his heart that Venerable Shenmu was the strange old man.
But later, Chen Xuan suddenly understood Venerable Shenmu.
But that was all later.
It was impossible for Chen Xuan to stay. At most, after recovering from his injuries, Chen Xuan planted the tree and left.
In fact, for Chen Xuan, the next task was really rushed and he was a little anxious.
After all, Chen Xuan had just completed his last mission not long ago. After it was almost completed, when Chen Xuan was about to rest the next day, the system brought Chen Xuan to the Hydra Demon.
Chen Xuan fought with the Hydra demon in the swamp for nine days.
During these nine days, Chen Xuan did not rest for a moment.
Now he finally annihilated the Hydra demon, but he also suffered a lot of injuries.
And to be honest, this injury is serious.
He hadn't had a good rest yet. Three months later, he had a new mission. The system didn't care about the situation in front of him at all. Chen Xuan was really speechless in his heart.
After Chen Xuan stopped talking, Venerable Shenmu went out.
Looking at the back of Venerable Shenmu leaving, Chen Xuan was actually a little touched in his heart.
Unlike those cultivators of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone that Chen Xuan had seen before, Venerable Shenmu was dressed in coarse cloth, the color of which was earthy gray.
If Chen Xuan couldn't sense it, Chen Xuan might really think that the person in front of him was an ordinary farmer.
But Venerable Shenmu is indeed not an ordinary person.
Chen Xuan could also sense some of the cultivation strength of Venerable Shenmu, which was indeed much stronger than his own.
This powerful person has actually been guarding the forest here, and Chen Xuan felt a little incompetent.
As long as he is looking for a career in the world, Chen Xuan feels that Venerable Shenmu will make great achievements.
Chen Xuan looked at the back of Lord Shenmu and pursed his lips. At that time, he felt that instead of thinking about this, he might as well think about how he could leave here without planting trees.
However, Chen Xuan did not think of this method when he finally planted the tree.
Among them, Chen Xuan's body slowly recovered and he escaped two or three times, but was captured by Venerable Shenmu each time.
What I have to say is that Venerable Shenmu really does have a few brushes.
