Lin Wu was stunned by what the old man said.

Why does something so ordinary seem a bit strange when it comes from the other person's mouth?

She said, "That's about it. Do you know where he is?"

The old man was silent.

Lin Wu asked again in confusion.

At this time, the old man said slowly as if he had made up his mind: "Since you have such a master, you are also... destined to be with the Thirteen Ridges. It seems that for the sake of your master, I can tell you the whereabouts of the Eleventh Ridge Master."

"Really?" Lin Wu's eyes lit up.

The old man nodded and sat down aside.

Lin Wu still had some reservations: "But you just said that I have no destiny with the Thirteen Ridges. I have a master not just now, but before. It doesn't make sense that I had no destiny before, but have destiny now."

"So, Senior, if you tell me this, will it have any impact on you, or will you have to pay any price?"

She looked at the old man.

The old man asked, “What if there is?”

"Then I won't ask you anymore. I'll find another way, or find my master first." Lin Wu said without hesitation, "This is my own business. I can't drag others down."

The old man looked at her steadily, then smiled: "There is no price. This may be God's will."

Seeing that he didn't look fake, Lin Wu felt relieved and asked, "Where is the Eleventh Ridge Master?"

The old man raised his hand and pointed to the ground.

Lin Wu lowered his head and looked around, confused.

"What's the meaning?"

"Ten meters below this small temple, there is a cave. Inside there is a ginkgo tree that has been dead for who knows how many years," said the old man.

Lin Wu immediately looked up at him.

"My master did tell me that there was a ginkgo tree near the temple where you lived, but he also said that it never withered. How could it die?"

The old man said slowly: "It is indeed undefeated all year round. As long as you can make it show its former prosperity, you can meet the Eleventh Ridge Master."

Lin Wu was slightly startled and asked, "Is this all we need to do?"

The old man nodded: "That's all I need."

Lin Wu was lost in thought.

"Little girl, don't think it's easy to do." The old man reminded, tapping the table with his fingers, "Drink some hot water, it will warm you up. The room next to the firewood is the guest room, you can live in it, and opposite is the utility room, you can look for anything you need in there, if you can't find it, it's God's will."

He stood up and said, "That's all I have to say. You can do as you please in the next few days. You don't need to look for me."

After saying this, he turned and walked to the right side of the middle house, went up the stairs on the other side to the highest house, and pushed the door open.

Lin Wu took a few sips of water to moisten his throat, then immediately went to the edge of the cliff at the door and looked down.

The foundation of the house protruded far out from the cliff, obstructing the view and making it impossible for Lin Wu to see clearly below.

She went back to her bag to find a rope, found something sturdy at the door to tie it to for support, and then held on to the rope and fell down.

The rope is more than twenty meters long, enough for Lin Wu.

However, when she went down more than ten meters, she looked left and right, but she didn't see any cave.

I went further down to the end of the rope, but still couldn't find it.

Lin Wu climbed up to ask the old man, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response from inside.

She shouted an insult and pushed the door open. There was no one inside. There was only a strange beast with its eyes closed and its head bowed enshrined in the middle of the main hall. No one knew what it was.

She went back and searched other rooms, but couldn't find the old man.

Could it be that the old man had left when she went downstairs just now? Lin Wu thought it was possible, so she went back to the yard and waited patiently.

Although the old man said there was no need to look for him, what he said was wrong. We still need to meet again to talk things out.

As the night deepened, Lin Wu used cold water to make a self-heating pot and ate some biscuits, then squatted in front of the stove to warm himself by the fire.

After the alienation, she is no longer afraid of the cold, but she has lost too much strength and has not recovered yet. Now her body is no different from that of an ordinary person, but she is even more afraid of the cold.

Lin Wu attributed this to the fact that her alien was not of the alpine glacier-resistant family.

I waited until noon the next day, but still didn't see anyone.

"He must be hiding on purpose..." Lin Wu thought with certainty. He went back to the door with a headache, tied the rope around his waist, and chased after him, leaving him hanging in the air.

This time Lin Wu did not rush to look, but observed the surroundings carefully.

The old man deliberately didn't show up, which meant that it should be okay to tell her. Maybe there was some kind of mystery hidden? It was understandable that such an important matter couldn't be told to her openly. This was probably a real test of her understanding and ability.

Lin Wu thought that the Thirteen Ridges were all very special, so she couldn't think about the Thirteen Ridges with ordinary people's thinking.

The old man said it was ten meters, so it should be ten meters.

But his estimation might be different from hers.

Besides, maybe there is some mysterious magic in it? Just like in a dungeon, you can walk far away with just a few steps.

Lin Wu looked at the cliff carefully, not knowing whether it was a psychological effect, but there were several strange protruding rocks on the cliff. They were not big, but they were big enough to stand on with one foot.

She swung over by the rope, grabbed the top rock and climbed up, bracing herself on one foot.

Lin Wu looked up inadvertently and was suddenly stunned.

Suddenly, a row of stone steps leading downwards appeared in my sight. The steps were several dozen centimeters apart and could be stood on one foot.

Lin Wu hesitated for a moment and went down.

But after walking up a few steps, the rope around her waist became tight and reached its limit! She looked back and saw that the rope was stretched tight!

There is something different here!

Lin Wu simply untied the rope and climbed down carefully.

After walking up more than ten steps, Lin Wu looked up as if possessed by a ghost, but he couldn't see the small temple anymore!

Lin Wu took a deep breath and continued walking down calmly.

Although she walked far, she actually walked a few meters on the stone steps! Finally, she reached the end, and there was a cave as tall as a person! It was not very deep inside. When the sun shone in, she could vaguely see the innermost stone wall, but it was very dark in the depths.

Lin Wu turned on the flashlight, and after entering, his view suddenly became clear.

Although it is not very spacious, the mountain is quite high, about 20 to 30 meters high. Inside, there is a huge old tree with tangled roots that are deeply embedded in the ground! It takes two people to hold the trunk of the tree together, and the branches are thick, shaped like an umbrella.

What’s even more amazing is that most of it is almost embedded in the mountain wall, seeming to be integrated with it.

After the forest fog passed, I climbed over the layers of tree roots, reached the tree trunk, and looked at the giant tree in front of me in amazement.

The tree trunk was dry, rough and cracked, and no one knew how long it had been dead.

"That's all... can save him?"

Lin Wu was very suspicious.

But when he thought of the stone steps, Lin Wu realized that he couldn't judge things by appearances and he needed to change his way of thinking.

Mo Chuan said that the tree never withered, which meant that it was actually still alive. As for the appearance before her eyes... maybe it was an illusion? Lin Wu patted the trunk of the tree with her hand, and the surface was so rough that it hurt her hand.

She put her hands together, intertwined her fingers, and quickly changed her gestures as she formed a seal and struck into the tree, carefully testing the ancient tree's internal strength.

Suddenly, Lin Wu was surprised to find that there was a strong vitality deep inside the tree, as if there was a life...

Before Lin Wu could investigate further, a terrifying aura burst out from the tree trunk, so fast that Lin Wu could not even feel it!

At the critical moment, the hair string on Lin Wu's wrist suddenly emitted a white light.

The breath stagnated slightly.

The next moment——

"Hold!"

The forest fog was unexpectedly sucked into the tree!

Lin Wu was shocked.

But unexpectedly, when she was about to do something to defend herself, she staggered and fell to the ground.

When I looked up, there were dozens of people in front of me!

Lin Wu's voice suddenly stopped.
