"Why is this happening? The balance is insufficient after just using it twice?" Lu Yi looked at his watch blankly.

"Just be content, we only summoned once..." Zhu Kaihuai said, "What should I do now?"

"What should I do? I can't fly, I can only leave." Aiya said, carrying a backpack, lifting her legs and leaving.

"Wait!" Nails called Aiya.

"What are you doing?" Aiya turned his head and asked.

"You're going the wrong direction, we should go west," said Nail, "and now it's imperative to find a village or city accommodation first, otherwise we'll live in the wild."

"Live in the wild? Fortunately, we brought a tent." Aiya was very glad to follow the advice of the salesperson sister, but if she wanted to live in this deserted mountain with beasts, her scalp was numb.

"Then let's go!" Aiya urged.

Nailzi squatted down and studied the map carefully for a while, then raised his head and said, "It seems that there are really no villages and towns nearby - unless you walk back, there is a village on the way back, but it will take about three hours to get back there, and it should be completely dark at that time."

"Do you keep moving forward or go back?" Qin Ge asked everyone.

"go ahead!"

"Of course!"

Everyone expressed their opinions, then packed up their things and headed west.

As Ding Zitong said, when they walked through two mountains in one breath, they did not find villages or towns, and they did not even see personal figures. Instead, wild animals appeared from time to time, making them nervous.

The third mountain is called "Xuanshan". Ding Zitong stopped next to the stone carved with the name of the mountain at the foot of the mountain.

"There should be a big mulberry tree on this mountain, which is where the gods once lived," Nailzi thought for a while and said, "Does the beast dare not offend such a place?"

Everyone stopped to look at this mountain, a very ordinary mountain, and they didn't see any magical place.

"It seems... there is no sound of beasts." The princess said.

Everyone listened carefully for a while, and indeed, the howlings of wild beasts that had been heard one after another could not be heard. It seemed that this was really a "sacred mountain".

"It's almost dark, so let's camp here!" said Aiya.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain!" Ding Zitong led the way to climb up the mountain.

The slope of the mountain was not steep and the trees were sparse, so they quickly climbed to the top of the mountain and were shocked.

The top of the mountain is very large, but there is only one tree. What a big tree! The trunk is so thick that it is, the branches extend in all directions, and the leaves are bigger than ordinary magazines! The trunks are covered with red textures, and the trees are full of yellow flowers, which are very dazzling, as if illuminating the dark night!

"Come on, let's measure how thick this tree is!" Aiya came back from the shock and went forward to embrace the big tree.

Lu Yi also walked over and grabbed Aiya's hand. Then, the princess, nails, and Qin Ge surrounded him one by one, and finally it was Zhu Kaihuai.

"No, there is still one person left!" Zhu Kaihuai shouted.

"I'm here!" Thumb jumped off Aiya's shoulder, ran to Zhu Kaihuai, looked up, and said, "Oh, forget it!"

"It's too big! What tree is this?" Aiya asked.

"Imperial daughter Sang!" Ding Zitong replied.

"You just said that this is the place where the gods once lived. Is there any story?" Aiya asked again.

"Let's talk later, set up a tent!" Qin Ge shouted.

The ground under the tree is flat and with shallow grass, which is really a good place to build tents. Their tents are very convenient to build, and they can be taken out of the bag and opened and fixed slightly. Soon, three exquisite small tents appeared under the big tree.

After finishing his work, the sky was completely dark. Zhu Kaihuai wanted to light a bonfire, but Qin Ge said, "Forget it, stop burning this tree, use emergency lights."

Zhu Kaihuai took out an emergency light and put it on the ground. Everyone sat together for dinner.

Seeing that Zhu Kaihuai opened a bag of biscuits, it seemed delicious, Aiya sighed secretly, took out a piece of cake and took a bite.

"Oh, it's quite delicious!" Aiya didn't expect that the seemingly inconspicuous yellow cake tasted sweet and delicious.

"Is that so? Let's try it." Zhu Kaihuai asked for a pancake.

Aiya gave everyone a cake, and then ate it by himself and fed it to Qinggeng.

"Now, let's tell the story of this tree. Who will tell you two?" Aiya looked at Ding Zitong and Qin Ge.

"Zi Tong talked about it. I was mainly responsible for drawing pictures at that time and I didn't read the books in detail." Qin Ge said.

"Okay," Ding Zitong said, "It is said that the daughter of the Southern Chi Emperor learned Taoism and became an immortal, and lived in this tree with firewood as a nest. She turned into a white crane and then became a woman. When Chi Emperor saw it, she was very sad and asked her to go home, but she just didn't go back. Chi Emperor was angry and set fire to the tree. In the fire, the Emperor's daughter attained Taoism and ascended to heaven, so this mulberry tree was called the Emperor's Mulberry."

"How come you know so much that you even draw the map in advance?" Lu Yi asked.

"Of course," Zhu Kaihuai said proudly, "We have inquired in advance. When entering the ancient mountain and sea road, they are all gods and monsters in "Shan Hai Jing". In such a thrilling place, how can you not prepare in advance?"

"By the way, aren't you going to Chang'an City? Why are you here too?" Zhu Kaihuai asked back.

"We... aren't we here to follow you? See how mysterious you are talking about." Aiya said.

"Well, thanks to you who followed you," Qin Ge said. When he turned his head, he found Princess Guan Delin sitting aside, looking depressed, and asked, "What's wrong, Princess, have you not eaten much?"

"Oh!" the princess sighed, and wanted to speak but stopped.

"Oh by the way, I remember you were in the Mushroom Country, waiting for your prince to rescue you. Zhu Kaihuai was mistaken for the prince by the Black Beetle, so he took us to see you," Ding Zitong asked the princess, "So, has the real prince found you?"

"Not yet, the black beetle said, he is coming..." said the princess.

"Is that true?" Naizi and Qin Ge looked at each other. They knew why the princess was confused. She wanted to go to Bai Minguo to help save people, but she was worried that she would miss the prince.

"We'll send you back. Maybe the prince will come to you tomorrow," Qin Ge said, "Don't worry, we will definitely take Qinggeng to Bairenguo to cure everyone's illness, right? "

Qinggeng nodded and said, "Qinggeng, Qinggeng."

"Okay," said the princess, "you asked me to come out and play, but I caused you trouble."

Qin Ge took out a summoning card, said goodbye to the princess, then put the card on her watch, said "Thank you", and the princess disappeared.

After a moment of silence under the big mulberry tree, Zhu Kaihuai said, "Sleep, I'm sleepy."

"Wait!" Qin Ge said, "Let's arrange some order and take turns to stand guard and keep watch. Although under the sacred tree, you must be vigilant and beware of wild beasts attacking."

"No, no, you can sleep peacefully, I'll protect you!" He jumped onto the emergency light and said with his thumb waving the "sword".

"You? How do you protect us?" Zhu Kaihuai didn't believe it.

"My ears are very sharp. Even when I fall asleep, I can hear footsteps in the distance. Besides, Qinggeng is there Qinggeng, is it Qinggeng?" said with his thumb, and turned his head to look at Qinggeng.

"Qinggeng." After Qinggeng said that, he spread his wings and flew to the top of Ding Zitong and Qin Ge's tent.

Everyone was relieved and each got into the tent. Before entering the tent, Zhu Kaihuai grabbed his thumb and said, "Two people in each tent, so you have to sleep with me."

After walking for a day, everyone was tired and fell asleep quickly.

There was nothing wrong all night. The next day, just at dawn, Qin Ge woke up. She unzipped the tent and came out. Seeing Qinggeng still watching the roof of the tent, it was tired, and suddenly lowered its head and raised it again, dozing off.

"Oh Qinggeng, are you exhausted? Come into the tent to rest." Qin Ge picked up Qinggeng with heartache and went into the tent, pulled up the zipper and hugged Qinggeng to continue sleeping.

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone through the mountainside, Qing Geng suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Qing Geng!"

Almost at the same time, his thumb shouted, "There is something!", stabbed Zhu Kaihuai with a "sword", and then quickly unzipped the tent and jumped out.

At this time, the wind blew. The strong wind came so rapidly that Zhu Kaihuai and his thumb were pressed tightly against the trunk of the imperial lady Sang, unable to move at all. However, the three tents were blown into the sky by the strong wind, and they didn't know where they flew.

I don’t know if it was ten minutes or twenty minutes later, the wind slowly stopped. Zhu Kaihuai and his thumb "fall" from the tree, sat on the grass, took a few breaths, and when they opened their eyes, they found that the surroundings were empty!

The two stood up and ran around the big tree for two laps, but found nothing!

"It's over, they were blown away by such a strong wind, so there must be a lot of danger!" Zhu Kaihuai lay on the grass all at once, tears flowing out.
Chapter completed!
