Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 710 Fuso Sacred Tree
  Although Concubine Yan had always known the information about the Fuso tree, when she saw it for the first time, even though it was so far away, she still couldn't help but feel dazzled.

No, it's not just the feeling in her heart... Concubine Yan suddenly found that the Longyou Qi in her body was also a little restless. Could it be because of this sacred hibiscus tree?
  Concubine Yan was not the only one who felt strange. Gu Xun was also a little restless. However, unlike Concubine Yan, the energy in his body was as usual, and his thoughts were only a little shocked and awe-inspiring.

He couldn't figure out the exact source of this strange feeling, but he could really feel it.

This made Gu Xun's expression gloomy. It was the first time that he had this feeling that he couldn't control.

However, this haze only flashed across his face, and it turned into a normal color in an instant. He exclaimed in shock, "What a sacred tree that supports the sky!"

The great elder introduced them to them at this time, "This is the sacred tree that our Shushan clan has worshiped and worshiped for generations - the Fusang sacred tree."

Gu Xun withdrew his gaze from the golden hibiscus sacred tree and asked the great elder beside him, "Is this sacred tree the reason why the noble tribe hides from the world and lives in seclusion?"

"Haha..." The great elder showed an unknown smile and cast his gaze on the sacred tree on the top of the mountain. His cloudy eyes were full of complex expressions, and he immediately shook his head, "The sacred tree... should not be regarded as a way to avoid disasters in Shushan. reason."

"Should?" Gu Xun was a little surprised.

How can this answer be vague?
  The great elder just smiled and had no intention of explaining. Seeing this, Gu Xun didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, the answer does not involve any secrets, it's just that the great elder's own views are different from others.

Shushan secluded himself from the world to avoid disaster in order to protect the Fuso Sacred Tree from falling into the hands of people with malicious intentions and being exploited by them. However, if the cause is traced, should the Fuso Sacred Tree be blamed, or should it be a villain with evil intentions?

He couldn't figure it out, so he only replied with an ambiguous answer.

At this time, Concubine Yan suddenly interjected, "The Fusang tree... refers to the sacred tree in the myths and legends spread in Chu and Bashu. Where the sun rises, it connects the portal to the three worlds of heaven, earth and man. Tree?"

The First Elder glanced at Concubine Yan, and became more and more sure that his strange feeling was not an illusion. He nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Yes, it is exactly this tree. I didn't expect you, little girl, to know such myths and legends."

Concubine Yan smiled warmly, "I happen to be involved in something."

Then he immediately raised a question, "But according to legend, the place where the sun rises where the Fuso Sacred Tree is located should be located in the far east, but this place is close to the extreme west... Why would the noble tribe think that this tree is the Fuso Sacred Tree?" ?”

Although Concubine Yan's tone was very calm, the meaning behind her words was to question the beliefs of the people of Shushan, which made many people around her look unhappy, even Shi Qing's face looked a little sullen.

Seeing this, Gu Xun came out to smooth things over, "Fei Yan's temperament is too direct, and what he said may not be appropriate at the time. Please forgive me, please forgive me."

The words of the doctor Gu Xun somewhat calmed the mood of everyone in Shushan.

However, the Great Elder did not show any displeasure because of Concubine Yan's words. At this time, he still replied peacefully, "Haha, I don't know how many years this sacred Fusang tree has been enshrined in Shushan, but it is at least a thousand years."

"The fact that has been passed down from generation to generation for so many years is that it is a sacred tree of Fuso."

"As for the reason... why don't a few guests go up with me to observe it, and then we'll understand."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

Surprise appeared on everyone's face, but their meanings were different.

Gu Xun and the others were surprised that the sacred tree worshiped by Shushan for generations could be so easily visited by just a few of them?

"This... is a sacred tree enshrined by the nobles for generations. Is it okay for outsiders like us to approach it at will?" "Haha, it's okay." The elder smiled and stroked his beard, "We are guests, so we might as well pay our respects."

At this time, Shi Qing and others were even more surprised than Gu Xun and others. The great elder would actually allow outsiders to approach the sacred tree... Even the Shushan clan members, most of them were not allowed to approach the Fuso sacred tree at will.

As for the situation where outsiders are allowed... there are many possible reasons, but each of them almost means there is something wrong with Gu Xun and the other three.

This made Shi Qing look a little gloomy after the accident... She really believed in Gu Xun, so she did not hesitate to violate the clan rules and bring him into Shushan, but the Great Elder would not do anything random...

She was a little worried now and her thoughts were very confused.

Gu Xun saw Shi Qing's emotional changes and couldn't help but asked curiously, "Miss Shi, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"

Shi Qing forced a smile and shook his head, "No, I'm fine..."

"Well... it's okay. If you have any questions, just ask." Gu Xun knew this was a lie, but it was inconvenient to ask too many questions.

The great elder also expressed concern at this time, "Qing'er, if you feel unwell, go back and rest. You should be tired after running around outside for so long."

Shi Qing still shook his head, "Great Elder, I'm fine."

The Great Elder did not force him, but nodded and said, "Then take Alan with you and go up the mountain with me."

"Yes." Shi Qing nodded gently.

Then the great elder took Shi Qing, Gu Xun, three people, and a dozen other Shushan tribesmen towards the Fusang sacred tree on the mountain.

At this time, Gu Xun also discovered that among the group of people, more than a dozen people from Shushan, including Shi Qing, had a vague and strange aura emerging from their bodies.

Thinking of the Yu Yuan guards that Concubine Yan had told him before, he could basically conclude that these people were all among them.

Since the Yuyuan Guards are a few elite men in Shushan, they will naturally not gather together for no reason. Coupled with their current destination and the strangeness of the Yuyuan Guards mentioned by Concubine Yan, Gu Xun can conclude that There is only one conclusion, and that is that the great elder of Shushan wants to attack them.

Moreover, since they are taking action near the Fuso Sacred Tree, there is a high probability that the strength of Yu Yuan's guards will be strengthened there.

Uh...it's a bit sudden.

Gu Xun felt that there should be no big problem with the performance of the three of them. Could it be that Concubine Yan asked a few more questions about the Fuso tree?
  It shouldn't be...

This old man's kindness doesn't seem to be fake. He wouldn't suddenly want to take action because of this, right?

It's so baffling...

Although Gu Xun felt that he had fallen short and wasted so much time on acting, he was not too upset.

If you see through it, see through it. All roads lead to Rome. Since the peaceful and stable road doesn't work, it doesn't matter if you try hard. He doesn't need to be responsible for dealing with the mess anyway.

But considering his friendship with Shi Qing along the way and Ying Zheng's previous instructions, he should try to be merciful.
