"Young man, if I don't give you the life fruit, what will happen to you?" the leader of the Tree Tribe asked.
"For Qingyu, I am willing to fight for the whole world.
Enemy." Li Qing said with a solemn expression.
"Come on humans, if you want the Life Fruit, just step on our corpses and get it." Many tree people shouted loudly.
The leader of the Tree Tribe stared at Li Qing, nodded, and said: "I am willing to give you the Life Fruit, but you must agree to a condition." Li Qing looked happy and asked: "What condition?" "You follow me.
Come." said the tree tribe leader.
"Clan leader..." Countless tree people said anxiously.
"You all stand down," the tree tribe leader said calmly.
The tree people had no choice but to respectfully retreat to both sides, allowing Li Qing to follow the leader into the depths of the tree people.
This is a green stone staircase, lush and green, with a small stream flowing and full of vitality.
After a while, a giant spiritual tree was seen growing. It was hundreds of feet tall and thousands of feet high. It was green and green, rippling with vitality. There were stripes intertwined on the trunk and leaves, like a kind of heavenly law, mysterious and mysterious.
Li Qing was suddenly surprised and said: "Tree of Life?" He did not expect that he would be reincarnated and be able to see the legendary Tree of Life. It was really incredible.
Li Qing looked up and saw a golden fruit as big as a jade plate hanging above the tree crown. It was crystal clear and fragrant. Just smelling it made everyone feel extremely comfortable and full of energy.
Li Qing was surprised and delighted and said: "Clan leader, is this the life fruit?" "Yes." The tree tribe leader nodded.
Li Qing took a deep breath and said, "Chief, what do you need me to do?"
"You won't take off the life fruit?" the tree tribe leader asked with a smile.
"I believe in the clan
Long." Li Qing said.
The leader of the Tree Tribe nodded with a smile, then his expression became solemn, and said: "What can you see from this tree of life?" "Is there something wrong?" Li Qing was confused, looked up, looked from top to bottom, and then
Looking from the bottom up again, Li Qing's expression gradually became serious, his brows furrowed slightly, and he activated the Immortal Scripture of Creation to check.
However, he still found nothing.
At this moment, the yin and yang twins in his body actually had a reaction. Li Qing looked at the tree of life again and suddenly made a different discovery. He saw that the upper half of the entire tree of life was showing the energy of life, and the lower half was showing death.
spirit.
How is this possible? The Tree of Life is known as the source of life, the holy tree that can relieve death. There are only one or two trees in the world. How could such a thing happen?
"Have you seen it already?" asked the leader of the tree tribe.
"Well, clan leader, how could this happen?" Li Qing nodded and asked.
"This matter has to start from nine million years ago." The leader of the tree tribe said.
"Hongmeng Catastrophe?" Li Qing asked in shock.
"Yes, nine million years ago, the fairy world suddenly changed. Blood rained from the sky. Countless people suffered misfortunes. Even saints could not avoid it." The leader of the tree people clan lamented and said, "No one knows why changes occurred in the fairy world. They only know that
Rivers of blood flow, mountains of corpses pile up, everyone is in danger, even our human race will not be spared.'
"Finally, the patriarch of our clan at that time listened to the instructions of our ancestors. If there was a disaster, he would lead the clan to hide under the World Tree so that our clan could continue. It was at that time that the World Tree left the fairy world on its own and came to the mortal world.
Realm, in the world of four directions."
The leader of the tree people clan looked happy and said: "In this way, our clan can continue to this day, otherwise it would have disappeared long ago. How would the world know about my tree people clan?"
But when he said this, the face of the tree tribe leader became extremely solemn. He looked at the ancient well and said: "With the World Tree here, our tree tribe will be able to survive forever. But I didn't expect that the world tree would take root soon after, and this ancient well would also be around."
Then it appeared here and absorbed the life force of the World Tree. If this continues, the World Tree will die, and the human race of our tree will also face the tragedy of annihilation."
The well was the size of a bucket, and it was pitch black inside. It was impossible to see to the bottom at a glance. Li Qing asked in surprise: "This well is absorbing the life force of the tree of life. How could this be happening? Chief, can you send someone down to check?"
"At first, our clan sent many people down, but without exception, no one came out." The leader of the Shuren clan said, "Since six million years ago, our clan has established a clan rule that no one is allowed to enter this well."
, but not long ago, a three-year-old child fell from the sky and fell into the well.'
"What does he look like?" Li Qing asked eagerly.
The tree tribe leader thought for a moment and said: "He is wearing a red bellyband." "Lingzhu?" Needless to say, Li Qing knew that the child mentioned by the tree tribe leader was the spirit bead, but Li Qing did not expect that he actually
Being sent here by Yin Yang Cave, is this too unreasonable?
"Do you know that child?" the tree tribe leader asked.
"Yeah." Li Qing nodded.
"It's a pity that I couldn't do anything at that time. Otherwise, I would have saved the child at any cost." The leader of the tree tribe said.
"Clan leader, I want to go down and rescue him." Li Qing said.
"No, young man, too many people have died inside. I don't want anyone to continue to die for this matter." The tree tribe leader stopped him, his old face was full of sadness and helplessness, "Maybe, this is
Let me establish the fate of the human race. Destiny cannot be forced." "Clan Chief, everything needs to be fought for. If you don't fight for it, others will fight for it. Maybe I can solve this mystery. Patriarch, I'm going down, remember you.
My agreement." Li Qingdao.
After that, he jumped up and jumped into the ancient scriptures. The leader of the Shuren tribe was shocked and said: "Young man, come back quickly?" "Head, he has jumped in, what should I do?" "All the Shuren tribe members
After talking a lot, the hatred towards Li Qing in his heart also decreased a lot. After all, no one would be angry at a dead person.
"Send a few people to guard here." The tree tribe leader ordered, "In addition, send more people to investigate the surrounding situation to prevent outsiders from breaking in." "Yes." The tree tribe elder responded.
…
In the ancient well, there was darkness. Li Qing was floating and slowly descending. A stream of death and yin energy surged up from below, making him feel like he was in hell. Perhaps, he was really heading to hell.
I don't know how much time passed, but Li Qing finally landed on the ground. The surrounding area was dark and colorless, and there were many steep stone walls with ghosts painted on them. They looked ferocious and terrifying, not human beings in this world.
This place has vast and endless space. I don’t know how wide it is.
Li Qing looked around and walked along a stone road.
This stone road was ancient and extremely dark. When Li Qing lowered his head and looked down, he could vaguely see a ghost face, which looked hideous and terrifying, but when he looked carefully, he couldn't see anything.
After walking for about half an hour, the space became wider and wider, and terrifying scenes appeared on both sides.
On the left is a stream of lava, with white skeletons struggling and screaming inside, calling for Li Qing to save them.
To the right is a river of black water, rolling endlessly, with an endless supply. Inside, there are also extremely vicious-looking people struggling and roaring, making inhumane screams.
This is a vivid scene, not a shadow. Li Qing was shocked and frightened when he saw it. He couldn't help but think: "Is this really hell? In the legend, the Yin-Yang Cave connecting hell is real?" Another step away
During tea time, screams came from the front. Hundreds of ghosts escorted each ghost and threw them into a large furnace. The screams came from the furnace.
On the other side, many souls pressed onto the guillotine, headless corpses piled up into mountains, and blood flowed into the magma.
There were also many horrific scenes, such as tongue pulling, frying with oil, cramps, blood sucking, stone crushing and many other methods of punishing evil. Li Qing was amazed to see them.
Hell, a legendary existence.
The legends about hell have also been handed down from before the Hongmeng catastrophe. There are very few records, only a few sentences. Many figures in the immortal world are unclear about the existence of hell.
Even the saints who created the status of saints don’t know much about hell, because these saints all attained enlightenment after the Hongmeng catastrophe.
Li Qing didn't know much about this either.
Only after he was reborn did he believe in the theory of reincarnation, but he knew that there must not be many people who could reincarnate, otherwise Lord Vajra and Lord Killer would not have fallen.
After experiencing the sky burial space and meeting Yin Bing and Ruoshuihe, he still had some doubts about the existence of hell, but he already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't expect that his guess would be verified so quickly.
Suddenly, a scream came: "Ah, Li Qing, you will not die well."
Li Qing looked around and saw that the man he had killed was Zhao Yiming. His tongue was forcibly cut off by a ghost soldier, and then his tongue grew back and was cut off by the ghost soldier again.
At this time, Zhao Yiming saw Li Qing, as if he had seen a ghost, and lost his voice: "Li Qing? Hahahaha, Li Qing, I didn't expect you to die too, it's really karma!" After saying that, he screamed again and was cut.
Drop tongue.
Along the way, Li Qing saw Black Bear Spirit, Donkey Sanwu and other people who died under his sword.
When everyone saw Li Qing, they were shocked and overjoyed.
but,
Li Qing was walking on the stone road. The ghost soldiers on both sides seemed not to see him and allowed him to walk. This made Li Qing very strange.
In half a time, Li Qing traveled through the eighteen levels of hell and saw all kinds of punishments people received after death.
A stone arch bridge appeared in front.
On the bridge, there was an old woman with gray hair and wrinkles, who looked like a witch, cooking a large pot. There was a large pot of soup in the pot, and there were stripes intertwined in it, like the ethics of heaven.
Li Qing looked at this scene and felt extremely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Previous life?
This is impossible!
Li Qing shook his head secretly and walked closer step by step.
At this time, the old woman raised her head, revealing a face that looked like tree bark, with all her teeth stripped off, and she looked like she was old and drowsy.
