Chapter 339
With Niao Niao around, Mo Jiuwei didn't have to spend much effort to find the location of the Bu Shen clan.
Quite consistent with their preferences, when Mo Jiuwei arrived, she saw a forest, but the trees here were very different.
They are so big!
It is no exaggeration to say that one tree here can accommodate 500 people standing without seeming crowded.
Each of them blocks out the sun and has a unique shape, with branches that are curved and spiral-shaped and a smooth surface.
Their leaves are emerald green balls. Of course, this is just the appearance. In fact, they are also leaves, but they are clustered together in a ring shape, and the middle part is empty.
Mo Jiuwei has seen many trees, but if we only talk about trees and not flowers, this tree is undoubtedly the most ornamental. If it weren't for its too large size, it would be cute just by looking at its small spherical leaves.
"Is this... the Shuo Clan's Tianluo Tree?"
Mo Jiuwei asked.
There are actually only about twenty such trees in this forest, but each one is so big, like a big house, and they are quite far apart from each other, so it looks quite spectacular.
"Yes." Ling Qing's eyes were sparkling, and he rarely showed his calmness, looking like an excited young man.
"The Shuo clan's Tianluo tree was mentioned in the Geography left by our ancestors. It is actually the sacred tree of our Bu Shen clan, but the tree seems to be extinct. I didn't expect that there would be so many of them in this secret realm!"
He now understood why Mo Jiuwei said that this secret realm contained things that their Divine Clan liked, and asked them to send people over.
Although Ling Qing and his companions had indeed collected many good things and reaped a lot of rewards during the days they entered the secret realm, for him, no amount of benefits could compare to this sacred tree.
According to the clan history, the ancestors of their Divine Clan lived on this sacred tree when they first established the clan. This tree carries wishes and fortune. As long as they stay with the sacred tree, the whole clan will be safe and happy.
In fact, this is true. The Bu Shen tribe was once extremely powerful and was admired by many people. They also had many believers. Whenever the believers saw the sacred tree, they would prostrate themselves on their knees and make wishes and pray for blessings.
It’s a pity that the divination ability of the Bu Shen clan is too enviable. There are those who worship them, and there are also those who want to subdue them and use them for their own purposes.
The Bu Shen tribe was not good at scheming and unwilling to work for others, so this refusal would cause hatred, and subsequent hunts and assassinations were endless.
In order to escape, they had to move their entire family, but they could take everything else with them except the sacred tree.
Even if it has seeds, the growth cycle of this tree is too long, and it will take at least tens of thousands of years for it to grow into this shape.
As a result, the growth rate of the trees could not keep up with the speed of their relocation and escape, and the existing sacred trees were completely destroyed by those with ulterior motives.
I only have one thought in mind: since you can't be used by me, I will destroy your clan!
It was under such a cycle that gradually no sacred tree was left. Descendants like Ling Qing had never seen what the sacred tree looked like and could only remember it through the records of the tribe.
Ling Qing raised her head, her delicate face tilted upward, and her eyes looked at it through the gaps between the leaves.
He seemed to see his ancestors living happily on the sacred trees. They were so glorious and desirable at that time.
His eyelashes trembled, and a tear slid down the corner of his eye to his cheek and then fell onto the ground.
Great, he saw it, it turns out that there are still sacred trees in this world, and the will of the ancestors can be continued.
"Jiuwei, please, I want to take it away." Ling Qing suddenly turned around, lifted his robe and knelt on one knee on the ground. His eyes were still a little moist, and his eyes wet with tears were shining with crystal light.
He looked at Mo Jiuwei with pleading in his eyes, "I can do everything for you, as long as you help me take it away, just one."
Just one tree is enough for their people to live and reproduce.
For this, he could give up the position of patriarch, he could sacrifice everything he had, including his life and dignity.
Even if Mo Jiuwei asked him to be a slave, he would be willing.
Of course, this would go against the clan rules, but it didn't matter. As long as the clan members and their descendants could get what they wanted, he could leave the clan and not tarnish the name of the divination god.
He didn't say these words out loud, but when she met his gaze, that look of desperation, Mo Jiuwei understood everything.
"You're going to sell yourself for a tree?"
She was too short. Even if Ling Qing knelt on one knee, he was still taller than her. Mo Jiuwei raised her head slightly to look him in the eye and asked back.
"yes."
Ling Qing nodded without hesitation.
"Patriarch, no!"
"No, you are the clan leader!"
"No, if it's me, I can give you everything I have, but you can't!"
When he said this, his tribesmen were stunned, and then they all rushed forward to stop him.
Ling Qing is the most talented person in the Bu Shen tribe over the years. Now that the Bu Shen tribe has declined to this point, they desperately need a talented person to lead the tribe forward, and this can only be done by Ling Qing!
With his talent, asking him to make such a sacrifice would be no different from destroying the Bu Shen clan!
"No, you can't." Ling Qing shook his head, without wavering.
It is precisely because he is the most talented that he wants to use this to convince Mo Jiuwei.
If it were someone else, she would definitely look down on him and would not agree to it.
“Chief…”
A younger member of the tribe couldn't help choking up.
Mo Jiuwei moved her eyes and said, "You should stand up and talk first. I'm not used to this."
Such a proud person is particularly precious only if he maintains his pride.
Mo Jiuwei did not break his pride and trample him under her feet just to satisfy her own desire for conquest.
Ling Qing pursed her lips and then stood up.
"How do you know that I can help you take it away?" Mo Jiuwei stretched out her hand and pointed at the sacred tree in the air.
"You must have known that it was here, so you reminded us to come to the secret realm." Ling Qing said, "Since you reminded us of this, it means that there must be a way to take it away."
Although there are many other good things in this secret realm that make the tribesmen very happy, they have been busy these days without eating or sleeping, fearing that they will miss out and have no chance again.
But Ling Qing inexplicably believed that the only thing Mo Jiuwei really cared about was the sacred tree!
When the Holy Tree saw this, he and his tribesmen were delighted for the whole day. They hugged the tree and gathered around it, laughing and crying.
They even ran up a tree together and hid among the leaves, feeling extremely happy.
But after being happy, I became worried.
It’s so big, how can I take it away?
