There are five peach gums in total, amber and translucent.

Lin Jue took it out and looked at it while walking.

There is no way——

Everyone gave it to me, so I could only accept it as a farewell gift from a senior and an old friend.

But what is the use of this? How to use it?

Can you also cook it and eat it?

But what is this?

Peach trees produce peach gum, and Lin Jue has also eaten it, but a peach tree that has become a spirit and talked to you for a few days will give you a few pieces of peach gum. If it is produced by itself, if it is placed on a human being, it is considered a gift.

What?

Lin Jue always felt a little strange.

Strange as it is, I feel in a good mood, which is both a bit magical and ethereal, but also a bit beautiful and leisurely.

At this time, I had a book on my back that was almost as good as new, and I was using a whistle stick as a walking stick. I was only two days away from Qiyun Mountain, so walking naturally felt more and more brisk.

Just walking on the road, Lin Jue was a little more thoughtful than before.

Just always pay attention to the flowers, plants and trees on the roadside.

To practice Wood Escape, you must first be in harmony with the vegetation.

Lin Jue didn't know how to get along with the plants and trees, so he had to stop from time to time to observe plants that he had never recognized or noticed before. He stretched out his hand to touch the leaves and look at its details.

In his previous life, he knew many people who loved flowers, plants and trees. That kind of love was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Most of them were women with delicate minds. At that time, Lin Jue only thought that these flowers, plants and trees were ordinary things, and they would be nowhere to be found if they were not there.

If you can't see it, there is no place worth looking at it carefully and recording it. But now the facts have almost easily proved that it was just that I didn't have the mood and time to look at them carefully at that time.

Because at this time Lin Jue did not have any spiritual practice or insights. He just spent a little more time and energy to take a closer look and discovered that they were unusual.

Almost every tree is different and has its own unique features. Almost every flower is also different. Every newly bloomed flower is so delicate and clean. Even the smallest flower, if you look closely, the petals will appear.

The flowers and stamens are also so delicate and complex, far more than just a few lines and a few colors in the painting.

What's more, it's summer, the season when lush vegetation grows wildly. In addition to wildflowers blooming along the roadside, there are also vines bearing fruits. These vegetations are displaying their life and temperament wantonly.

As Lin Jue watched carefully, he was surprised and amazed at times, as if he had discovered the interest in it.

Naturally, it's just fun.

When it comes to understanding, there is no sense at all.

But this also made him feel satisfied and even surprised.

Because fun itself is a precious thing.

As a result, my walking speed was delayed a lot.

Even if he saw an ancient tree that was thicker than his own, even in the forest beside the road, as long as it was not too difficult to walk, he would put down his book and go there to visit. Sometimes, he would follow what the book and the tree demon said,

Put your hands on the trunk of the tree to feel the texture of the bark, concentrate your attention, try to feel the essence of the tree, understand the aura of the wood with your heart, and then imagine that you are the same, and strive to become one with it.

Feeling that his mind was bright and having fun, he recited a mantra and tried to put his hand through the tree.

"Ha ha……"

Of course it is completely impossible.

Lin Jue was not discouraged at all. He was a beginner and wanted to have some fun. He shook his head and smiled, then came back, put his book on his back, and continued to move forward.

…

In the middle of the afternoon, the young scholar stopped by the roadside and spoke to an old man working in the fields down the road:

"I dare to ask my father-in-law, do you know Qiyun Mountain?"

"Qi Yunshan? I know!"

"How to go?"

"Go this way."

The old man pointed in one direction.

"This way?"

Lin Jue bent over and turned his head to look.

"ah……"

"I'm coming from this way."

"Then you go the other way!"

"..."

Lin Jue shook his head and smiled, thanked his father-in-law, and walked back.

When I'm in a good mood, I really don't feel sad even if I do something wrong. Instead, I laugh at my own stupidity. I almost laugh out loud when I pat my head, and my steps are still brisk.

Even though it's a little late now.

For people who don’t understand road itineraries, it’s quite normal to drive at night——

Lin Jue took a while to say goodbye to the tree demon this morning. He walked slowly and took the wrong road halfway. He was delayed for a while when he turned back, and the sun naturally set halfway.

This is the second time I have walked at night since I left home in half a month.

But this time I feel much more at ease.

Firstly, the tree demon said that this place is close to Qiyun Mountain, so even in the wilderness, there are very few rampant and ferocious monsters. Secondly, the weather is very good today, with clear skies, and there is no rain at night. It is June.

The weather has gotten hotter and hotter since then, and it won’t feel cold even if we sleep in the wilderness at night.

Finally, Lin Jue was no longer so afraid of monsters.

Sure enough, it got dark halfway along the way.

Lin Jue took advantage of the daylight before it completely dissipated, so he found a dry and flat place by the roadside, tidied the ground a little, then sat down, preparing to spend the night here.

I heard that it is unavoidable for other travelers to stay in the wilderness at night when they go on a long journey. If you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts coming to your door. However, most of the others are crowded and a group of people sleep together, while Lin Jue is alone.

I wasn't too scared at first, so I combined the hatchet and whistle stick in my hand and put them next to me, which made me feel more secure.

So Lin Jue sat on the ground, eating dry food, watching the mountains and rivers reflected in the distant glow, listening to the weeping sound of the wind and the rustling of the woods. When the time came, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

But for some reason, I couldn't sleep well tonight.

Probably because I have encountered too many fairies and ghosts recently, and I was sleeping rough in the mountains at this time, it was inevitable that I would have related dreams.

In the dream, there was a young ghost who saluted him and told him that his coffin was buried not far away. As time went by, it was exposed to the ground. Some time ago, a group of heavy soldiers passed by, and the war horse accidentally rushed out of the road and killed the coffin.

A corner of his coffin was broken, and now it was leaking from both wind and rain. I had no choice but to ask him to help repair it.

"..."

When he woke up from his dream, Lin woke up.

At this time, the dream power has not passed, and I feel that the things in the dream are real, but when the wind blows, the dream gradually dissipates.

When he opened his eyes, the surroundings were dark, and only above his head were numerous bright stars, a galaxy, and countless worlds of light and sand, creating a unique and magnificent dream in the world. Lin Jue could not tell the specific time, and could only guess that it was already the fifth watch of the night.

Already.

When I was in Shucun, I should have woken up around this time. I went to bed early last night, so I should have woken up around this time.

This is almost the coldest time of the night, so you may have woken up from the cold.

As for what happened in the dream, there is no need to worry about it.

"..."

Lin Jue didn't want to rush on his way at this time, but he had nothing to do, and he was still a little confused, so he fell back to sleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I fell asleep, the dream came again.

It was still the same ghost in the dream.

"This is not a dream, no, this is a dream, but it is not your own dream! I am really a ghost. It is a real house that was trampled by horses. I want you to help repair it. Don't take it seriously!"

It’s not easy for me to meet someone like you. If you can’t help me, I don’t know how long it will take!”

The ghost explained and begged.

In the dream, Lin Jue couldn't help but feel deeply confused.

"A person like me? What kind of person? Why did you come to me?"

"There are very few people staying overnight on this road, only a few times in this period of time. Some people have strong qi and blood, so I dare not approach them, and some people have impure qi. I think they are not worthy of trust, and although I

Fortunately, I became a ghost after death and did not reach the underworld, but my magic power is low. You must have been in contact with demons and ghosts on a daily basis, and the energy in your body is not repulsive to me, so I decided that I can also find you."

"..."

Lin Jue said nothing in the dream for a while, only feeling that it was true and false.

Things in dreams are just like that and difficult to distinguish.
