Chapter 513 The Land of the Lost Forest
The name of the Snowy Owl tells you where it mainly lives. Even if it gets lost, it shouldn't get lost in the hot and humid jungles of the southwest.
It can be said that the moment this thing appeared, it felt out of place with the surrounding scenery.
What's even more strange is that the snow owl landed on the branch above the three people, lowered its head as if in salute, and said in human words: "I have seen Immortal Qingtian, and I have seen three heroines."
Her voice was like that of an old woman, extremely hoarse.
Wu Shaoyi, who had just eaten and drank enough, immediately shivered, and Qin Yan jumped up, her voice trembling a little:
"Y-youkai?"
Yang Yiyi was okay. After all, Taoyuan Valley was full of monsters, so they felt easier to get along with than humans.
But when you encounter a monster in the wild, you can't tell whether it is good or evil. She also quietly touched the two maces on her back.
When Qin Yan called him a monster, Snow Owl seemed to show a slightly dissatisfied expression:
"The little god is the land here, not some monster."
Li Chengqi, who was in front of the screen, had right-clicked on Snow Owl's character panel, which clearly read 'The Land God of the Lost Forest'.
Shouldn’t the land and mountain gods all look like very short little old men?
This is the wrong impression caused by Journey to the West.
There are various kinds of land gods in folklore. For the simplest example, if you look through the Classic of Mountains and Seas, you will find that none of the mountain gods look like little old men. Instead, they are all very difficult to describe...
But then again, how come everyone knows Qingtian Immortal?
The so-called immortal was just nonsense that Li Chengqi made casually when he met Yang Yiyi on the first day. It was relatively easy for Yang Yiyi to understand, but unexpectedly he got it right.
The Snow Owl said that he was the God of the Earth, not a monster. If it was true, then there was really no need to be afraid. The God of the Earth was not a bad person, but his words were unfounded, and the three of them didn't know how to identify them.
But at this time, Li Chengqi's voice came from the jade ball floating in the air:
"What's the point of bringing the land here?"
"Don't take it seriously. The little god saw the three heroines trapped in the Lost Forest and came here to guide them."
Upon hearing that Li Chengqi said it was land, Yang Yiyi believed it on the spot. The other two were a little hesitant, but they also relaxed a little.
But upon hearing the keyword Mizonglin, Wu Shaoyi immediately said:
"The Lost Forest? But according to the map, we shouldn't have reached the Lost Forest yet."
"The little god doesn't know if the map in the heroine's hand is accurate, but this place is indeed the Lost Forest. If it were somewhere else, the little god wouldn't be able to show up."
The earth god is born and raised in the earth, and cannot leave the land where it was born and raised. It cannot take a step out. For example, the mountain god of a mountain can only move on this mountain and cannot go down the mountain.
If you insist on going out, then you have to give up your identity as the God of Earth. In this case, it won't be long before the God of Earth returns to the world.
"The land is here to lead the way. It must be because you need something, right?"
Li Chengqi had seen Wu Shaoyi and Yang Yiyi stressing that they must not enter the Lost Forest. Very few people who went in could come out. In this case, the land showed up to guide the way, obviously for other reasons.
"I dare not hide it from the immortal. The little god does have something to ask for."
"What's the matter?"
"Don't be impatient, Immortal, and listen to the little god carefully."
Snow Owl said:
"This Mysterious Forest was established in southern Xinjiang. It would not have crossed the high mountains. It was just because a fairy had traveled here a long time ago. This man was already a heavenly fairy, and his wood-like cultivation was almost perfect. Tiancheng, she came from Southern Xinjiang, and she unconsciously brought Mizonglin from Southern Xinjiang."
To put it into detail, it would be okay to start directly from the source of the Lost Forest. "Later, when the fairy woke up from trance, the place that was originally just flat land had turned into a mysterious forest. At that time, there were no mortals living nearby. The fairy only thought that this forest was very interesting, so she left a legacy In the forest, on the one hand, I am waiting for the destined person, and on the other hand, I am protecting the Lost Forest from destruction.”
Natural mazes are fun?
This fairy is probably a tease...
"But not long ago, Jiu Feng passed by, and its magical power affected the inheritance left by the fairy. The Lost Forest became weird, and it often lured and swallowed up mortals here. The three heroines must have been trapped because of this."
Wu Shaoyi originally thought it was strange. According to the map, they were still far away from the Lost Forest, so they paid attention to avoid it, but they still came in.
This situation cannot be explained by disorientation. It can only be said to be the effect of spells. Or to use a fairy-like expression, it is the magic of immortality.
"The little god has been guiding people who have strayed in these days to get out. However, most mortals think that I am a monster and cannot show up directly. I can only help quietly from the side, which takes a lot of time."
The land gods don't care about people who run into the Lost Forest by themselves.
After all, why do I care if you want to die?
But this kind of person who was lured in by the forest was different.
Snow Owl is the land of Mizong Forest. Mizong Forest luring people in is essentially the same as Snow Owl luring people in. In other words, Snow Owl is killing people.
This will entangle the land gods with karma. The land gods, who were born to be carefree, are entangled in karma. It is fatal to them, so the snow owls hurriedly started to guide people out.
It is said that this incident was caused by Jiufeng passing by, and Jiufeng ran all the way from southern Xinjiang to the Central Plains to avoid Wu Zhu who was trying to take its essence and blood. Yang Yiyi had met Jiufeng face to face not long ago.
Connected!
"This law treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The little god alone cannot send out all the people who stray in. If left unchecked, the little god will inevitably be entangled in karma and will disappear soon."
This is a question of efficiency. Most people can't tell the difference between the land god and the monster. The snow owl appears directly and says to lead you out. People who get lost may think that the monster wants to take them deeper and wait for a chance to eat them. Their sweethearts, who dare to believe them?
So the land god can only guide quietly in the dark, which is much less efficient.
It's okay to have one or two lost people, but once there are too many people, even if the land god appears, he won't be able to handle them all.
This is one of the reasons why Yang Yiyi and the others were lost for three days before the land god appeared. They really didn't have time to spare.
And why does it appear again now...
"The little god asks the immortal to help. It is not a pity for the little god to die alone, but it must not bring disaster to the people."
That's because Li Chengqi appeared.
In the realm of the Lost Forest, no matter what the disturbance is, the land god will know about it. When Yu Gui stayed in Yang Yiyi's arms, the land god couldn't feel it, but Li Chengqi came out to give Yang Yiyi and the others food. It was sensed by the land god.
Realizing that there was finally a savior, the Earth God hurried over.
To put it simply, it has nothing to do with Yang Yiyi and the others, but for the sake of Immortal Qingtian.
After reading Snow Owl's words, Li Chengqi understood what it meant, but let's be honest, Li Chengqi, the Qingtian Immortal, came out of nowhere. He himself didn't know whether it was true or false, let alone others.
The Earth God asked Immortal Qingtian for help, but Li Chengqi didn't know any magic at all.
But now we can't say, 'You've found the wrong person', because Li Chengqi has no way to guide Yang Yiyi and the three of them out of the Lost Forest. What if the land hears that he has found the wrong person and turns around and leaves without saying a word?
So Li Chengqi pondered for a moment:
"How can I help you?"
In short, don't show your timidity. Let's listen to what the Snow Owl wants to do first.
