I don’t know how many years of vicissitudes have passed. The stalks of this big tree are so thick that both of them can’t hold it together. Looking up, it is a giant umbrella cover with lush branches and leaves. Such a big tree is rare, and it is at least a few hundred years before it can grow like this.

Seeing everyone looking at this big tree, Yu Xiaohu said, "I heard that this ancient tree has existed in the Tang Dynasty. It has been many years and it has almost become a spirit. When there was still incense in Zangmei Temple, this tree was worshipped."

Several people approached, Tang Sanli looked around and said, "Let's rest here tonight. The surroundings have a wide view, and it's pretty good here."

Chu Nan saw a tree hole in the middle of the ancient tree, and there was an oblique crack on it, as if someone had used great force to cut it out with an extremely sharp knife.

Yu Xiaotian sat down, rubbed his legs, and said, "I'm so tired. I really want to have a bed now so I can have a good sleep."

The others were also exhausted, Yin Yiping said: "We can take turns to watch the night, and the others can sleep for a while."

"Feat something to fill your stomach first." The seven people sat on the ground under the tree. Each of them brought some food to a higher or lesser extent, and then they assigned people to watch, one shift for each two, and one more person, so Chu Nan decided to work alone.

Everyone knew his ability and agreed. There were four shifts in total, each shift was three hours behind. After four shifts, it was basically dawn.

Chu Nan asked to be alone, but he had his idea. He wanted to take the opportunity to use a magnifying glass to fill the force in the thirty-one withered gene center he had, and then swallow and absorb it, seeking the gene center to evolve again.

What happened during the day touched him a lot and a strong sense of crisis. The world became increasingly unusual and terrifying. If you want to survive, the most important thing is to become stronger.

"Tang Sanli, Yu Xiaohu, Gan Yueyue and Yin Yiping, I, Gong Lin and Chu Nan, and one by one by one." Yu Xiaotian said: "That's what it's decided, who will guard the first class?"

Tang Sanli said: "Yu Xiaohu and I will be the first class."

Yu Xiaotian nodded, then stretched his waist long and said, "I'm so sad that night."

It was completely dark, and everyone did not dare to set up a fire, for fear of causing some trouble, so they sat together under the ancient tree.

"Hey, let's say something. It's so uncomfortable to stay here like this." Yu Xiaotian spoke again and said, "Why don't we each introduce ourselves in detail."

Seeing that everyone was not willing to do so, Yu Xiaotian pouted, his eyes turned to the ancient tree behind him, and said, "Why don't you guess how many years this ancient tree has been."

Tang Sanli smiled bitterly and said, "Yu Xiaotian, you really love to talk."

Yu Xiaotian said unhappily: "I also hope everyone will talk, so that this will not be too silent... Don't you think that it is too depressing?"

Yin Yiping said: "That's true. When talking, it seems that time passes a little faster."

Yu Xiaohu interjected: "Since that's the case, why don't I tell you the story of this ancient tree?"

Yu Xiaotian came in anger and said, "What, does this ancient tree still have a story?"

Yu Xiaohu nodded and said, "Of course, the prophecy of 'Huang Chao kills eight million people, even if he counts one, he can't escape it' is from this ancient tree."

"Huang Chao? I know him, a historical figure, tell me quickly, why is he related to this ancient tree?" Yu Xiaotian immediately became excited.

Yu Xiaohu cleared his throat and said, "It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao gathered people here to revolt. He and Bian Lu, the monk from Zangmei Temple, became brothers. At that time, he hid in Zangmei Temple. Unfortunately, it has become like this now."

Yu Xiaohu said, and glanced at the ruins of Zangmei Temple, which had become a ruin from a distance.

Yu Xiaotian said: "Tell me quickly, what's next?"

Yu Xiaohu said, "On the day when I was preparing for the uprising, Huang Chao said to Monk Bian Lu: 'Brother, in order for the uprising to go smoothly, I want to sacrifice the knife today'. Monk Bian Lu said, 'I don't know why, I always feel a little scared when you sacrifice the knife'. Huang Chao said, 'Brother, what are you afraid of if I sacrifice the knife?' Monk Bian Lu replied, 'I don't know why, I always feel scared, as if a disaster is coming.' When Huang Chao saw Monk Bian Lu say this, he asked Monk Bian Lu to hide and wait until he finished offering the knife before coming out."

Yu Xiaohu is still quite talented in telling stories. Not only Yu Xiaotian, but also a few others were attracted by the stories he told. Yu Xiaotian was impatient and said, "What?"

"Then, after hearing Huang Chao's words, Monk Bian Lu went out to hide, but he felt unsafe wherever he hid. Finally, he saw a big tree in front of the temple, which is the ancient tree you see now."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at the ancient tree behind them.

"Monkey Bian Lu saw that there was a tree hole in this big tree that was empty, so he hid in it and thought it was very safe. Besides, Huang Chao was going to find a villain to sacrifice his sword, but that day it was a coincidence. He turned around and couldn't see any suitable person who could use it to sacrifice his sword. When he returned to the temple, he saw this big tree and thought of deciding to use a tree instead of a person to sacrifice his sword. So he cut it off with one knife. As a result, when he went down, he heard a scream from the tree. Huang Chao was shocked and saw that the monk Bian Lu was hiding in the tree and died in the tree by his knife."

"This is called Huang Chao killing eight million people. Even if he counts one, he cannot escape. Monk Bian Lu should respond to this disaster. He cannot escape, and he cannot escape no matter how hard he hides."

"It is said that Huang Chao is the Wu Quxing in the sky. He was punished by the Jade Emperor for mistakenly releasing the devil in hell. There are 8 million devils in hell. Monk Bian Lu is an official in the hell gate, so he must go first. Every time Huang Chao kills one, Bian Lu will be imprisoned in hell and will never kill one person indiscriminately."

After Yu Xiaohu finished speaking, everyone looked at the ancient tree. Tang Sanli said, "Look at the crack in the tree, it was a strange image cut out by a knife. Is this legend really not true?"

"This is the legend of the old man." Yu Xiaohu shook his head slightly. As for the authenticity, he didn't know.

Yu Xiaotian shouted: "So, no one died in this tree."

Everyone's hearts were instinctively unnatural when they heard this.

"Okay, the story is over. Let's rest early. If you don't keep your spirits well, how can you hurry tomorrow?" Tang Sanli persuaded with a laugh. Now that he is the oldest among everyone, he has a faint smell of an elder in his tone.

The other people were indeed sleepy, so Yin Yiping gave his cell phone to Tang Sanli and said, "When it's time, I'll ask the next group to take over."

"I know, you guys should go to bed quickly. If there is any situation, we will call you."

Except for Tang Sanli and Yu Xiaohu who were about to watch, the other five people rested on the spot.

Chu Nan listened to the story Yu Xiaohu just told and looked at this towering ancient tree, but an inexplicable feeling faintly rose in his heart. When he was resting, for some reason, he was a little further away from the tree.

It's really too sleepy. During the day, he even used adrenaline to stimulate physical energy. It can be said that Chu Nan is more tired than everyone. Once he goes to bed, he falls asleep quickly.

If he doesn't sleep, he really can't support him because he hasn't closed his eyes for a day and a night.

I don’t know how long he slept, but Chu Nan woke up. He was not woken up, but felt something dripping on his forehead. In this environment, he was very alert, so he woke up.

When I looked up, I saw the dense ancient tree umbrella above, with water on it dripping on his forehead.

Chu Nan reached out to touch the water on his forehead and suddenly realized that his hands were covered with blood.

"What's going on?" Chu Nan was shocked and almost jumped up. The drop on his forehead was not water or blood?

At this moment, Chu Nan was a little creepy.

"Chu Nan? Are you awake? The time has not come yet." Gan Yueyue's voice came from the other side.

Gan Yueyue and Yin Yiping took over the second shift of Tang Sanli and Yu Xiaohu. It was her turn and Gong Lin on duty. The others were all asleep, especially Tang Sanli, who snored like thunder.

Chu Nan stood up, looked at the blood on his hands, looked up at the lush branches above, and then looked at the studs. Suddenly, he found that in the dark light, he vaguely saw blood oozing out of the ancient tree's pole.

"What is that?" Chu Nan couldn't help but point his hand. Gan Yueyue and Yin Yiping were a little confused, but they also cried out: "Blood?"

"What's wrong?" Yu Xiaohu, who was sleeping, rubbed his eyes and was awakened. At the same time, he pushed Tang Sanli, who was sleeping beside him, and said, "Wake up, wake up, it seems something happened."

Chu Nan slowly looked down and saw Yu Xiaotian and Gong Lin, who were sleeping nearest to the big tree, lying under the tree stud, with their eyes open, with strange and stiff smiles on their faces, wrinkles on their faces, and their whole body was dry, as if they had suddenly become 50 years old.

When Chu Nan saw it, he took three big steps in a row.

Gan Yueyue screamed uncontrollably, her face full of fear and horror.

Since sleeping, Yu Xiaotian and Gonglin slept nearest to the ancient tree pole, and there was no movement. Therefore, even if it was Gan Yueyue and Yin Yi's turn to watch the night, they had never noticed any abnormal changes in Yu Xiaotian and Gonglin in the dark.

Until now, I realized something was wrong.

Tang Sanli and Yu Xiaohu also woke up completely, almost rolling and crawling away from Yu Xiaotian and Gong Lin who were sleeping there motionlessly.

"Why...why...what..." Yu Xiaohu was full of horror.

Everyone saw the blood-like liquid that oozed out from the tree pole, slowly dripping down.

Yu Xiaotian and Gong Lin slept under the tree stalk, motionless, obviously dead, but what happened to them when they were dying? Why did they show such a strange and weird smile on their faces? Cooperating with them, they suddenly looked like wrinkles in aged decades, looking indescribable ugly and terrifying, like demons in hell.
