As the majestic and peaceful voice sounded from the Tree of God, rays of light flashed between the branches and leaves.
Then these rays of light intertwined and finally formed a magnificent palace.
However, because the Tree of God was too huge, the crown of the tree covered the sky, so this magnificent palace, at this moment, under the shade of the tree, seemed very small.
But when the young man followed the "fruit" like light to near the palace, he found that this place was really very big, giving him a feeling that it was even more majestic and dignified than the main hall in the center of his palace.
The two "fruits" entered the main hall together.
The young man looked up and saw that there was a round table in the main hall.
There was already a person sitting at the table, but his whole body was covered in light, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
It seemed that in the other "fruit", although it was also hazy, he could at least see that the old bird was a tall and thin man with a bamboo-like figure.
But now, the person sitting at the table, he couldn't see anything clearly at all.
The light was not dazzling, but he couldn't see anything.
Was this the so-called Mister Zun...
Li Gucheng, who was wearing an official robe, pondered in his heart.
He found that he could move freely now, so he walked to the side of the round table.
Li Gucheng turned his head to look at the bamboo-like man, who had also regained his freedom, but the characteristics of his body were still covered by the light, so he couldn't see clearly.
The tall and thin man sat down at the side of the round table, on the left side of Mister Zun, but he didn't sit next to Mister Zun.
Li Gucheng's eyes stayed on the seat directly facing Mister Zun for a while, and then moved away.
He finally sat on the right side of Mister Zun, but he didn't sit next to Mister Zun, but roughly faced the tall and thin man.
"Welcome, my guest." Mister Zun first nodded slightly to Li Gucheng.
The corner of Li Gucheng's mouth twitched, "Senior, thank you for your hospitality."
This Mister Zun and the tall and thin man, were naturally Chen Luoyang's mind and thoughts, manifested through the Tree of God.
The Mister Zun that he transformed into first nodded at Li Gucheng, then looked at the tall and thin man that he transformed into.
The two faced each other, and Chen Luoyang felt like he was looking at a mirror.
"Wutong, the joke just now wasn't funny." Mister Zun said softly.
The tall, thin man lowered his head. "I'm very sorry, Senior. It was my fault."
He looked at Li Gucheng and said sincerely, "I was just joking with you just now. Please don't take it to heart. Senior treats every guest, including you and me, with kindness and guidance. He is the most generous elder."
Li Gucheng's face twitched uncontrollably.
Big brother, if he is really as generous as you say, why are you so afraid now!
Although your tone was very calm and your expression was very sincere, why was your body slightly trembling just now!
I saw it, I really saw it!
"Of course, of course." Li Gucheng forced a smile on his face, not caring if the tall and skinny man could see it.
Anyway, it was fine as long as Mr. Zun could see it.
As for the people who paid the price that the lanky man mentioned earlier … No, it was people who no longer appeared. They must have met with an accident somewhere else, so they could no longer come here.
Yes, that must be it!
Don't ask! If you ask, it's an accident!
Anyway, it has nothing to do with Mr. Zun.
"I like to entertain guests, and I hope that my guests can all be happy and comfortable." Chen Luoyang, who had transformed into Mr. Zun, said in a calm tone, "There is a layer of distance between us, so everyone should be more casual."
Li Gucheng laughed dryly, "Senior is very thoughtful."
Although the other person spoke softly and was approachable, for Li Gucheng, he felt that it was more stressful than his harsh words.
"However, it is more convenient to have a name." Chen Luoyang said, "I originally didn't have any ideas, but Wutong and the others all decided to use trees as their names, so it became a habit. Little friend, do you have any new ideas?"
Li Gucheng thought about it and finally decided to do as the Romans do, "No need, no need. I will just be like everyone else."
Wutong was naturally the code name of the tall and thin man sitting opposite him.
Li Gucheng thought for a moment and said, "I prefer pine trees. Let's call it 'pine' or 'green pine' …"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Wutong gently shaking his head.
Li Gucheng widened his eyes.
Seeing this, Wutong shook his head a little more, "Well … why don't we change it to something else?"
"Why?" As soon as Li Gucheng said this, he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed slightly.
Then, sure enough, he heard Wutong vaguely say, "Someone has chosen the pine tree …"
Someone had chosen it, but that person was no longer here.
The name was empty, but it was inauspicious …
Li Gucheng suddenly had a depressed expression.
He cheered himself up and forced a smile at Mr. Zun, "Senior, can you let me go back and think about it? I will give you an answer the next time I come? After all, it is best not to change it after it has been decided, right? "
If it was possible, he hoped that he would never come to this treehouse again.
Chen Luoyang, who had transformed into Mr. Zun, seemed to be very easy to talk to, "Of course."
He was so easy to talk to, but Li Gucheng felt even more bitter in his heart.
Being easy to talk to in this kind of matter often meant that it was not easy to talk about other things.
Especially when he expressed his attitude just now, it was clear that he would bring him here again in the future.
At this time, Chen Luoyang, who had transformed into Mr. Zun, turned his head to look at Wutong, who was also a part of his soul, and pretended to ask, "Have you found anything recently?"
Then, Li Gucheng saw Wutong straighten his back and seriously reply, "I have some clues, please take a look, Senior."
After that, he handed something to Mr. Zun.
From Li Gucheng's point of view, that thing was also wrapped in a ball of light, so he couldn't see its specific appearance.
It seemed that everyone's deal with this Mr. Zun was kept secret from everyone else.
But did Mr. Zun know the specific content of the deal between them?
At present, it seemed that it was possible ah …
Moreover, the fact that the other person called himself 'Mr. Zun' was really thought-provoking.
After Mr. Zun received the item from Wutong, he was silent.
A moment later, Mr. Zun asked Wutong, "When did you get it?"
Wutong replied, "Fifteen days ago."
Mr. Zun nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. He just gently waved his hand.
Then, a ball of light floated out from the depths of the main hall and flew in front of the tall and thin man.
Seeing this, Li Gucheng secretly frowned.
It seemed that the reward given by this Mr. Zun didn't meet the standard of taking what each of them needed. Instead, Mr. Zun gave whatever he wanted to give.
However, he quickly noticed that the 'Wutong' was obviously showing a happy expression.
It seemed that the reward provided by Mr. Zun was exactly what he wanted.
Did they already agree on the reward when they met last time, or was this Mr. Zun really that resourceful?
Li Gucheng couldn't help but guess.
"Thank you, Senior." The tall and thin man said gratefully.
Mr. Zun gently said, "No need to be so polite."
'Wutong' put away the item and quietly sat on the side.
Meanwhile, Mr. Zun looked at Li Gucheng and said, "Little friend, if you have some free time, can you help me pay attention to some things?"
Li Gucheng didn't want to say no, but he was under someone else's roof. In the end, he chose to accept it first. At least, he had to leave this place first.
"Please tell me, Senior. As long as this junior can do it, I will do my best."
Chen Luoyang, who had transformed into Mr. Zun, said neither too fast nor too slow, "Little friend, you don't need to be nervous. Just pay attention to some things."
Li Gucheng said, "Please tell me, Senior."
"The person who set up the barriers and rules for this world of mortals, if little friend has any information about his specific whereabouts, please pay attention to it for me," Chen Luoyang said.
Li Gucheng was stunned for a moment.
Then his face almost turned green.
The person who set up the barriers and rules for this world of mortals was that legendary Zhi Zun …
Why did this person care about the whereabouts of Zhi Zun?
Who exactly was he?
Li Gucheng composed himself and said with some embarrassment, "Senior, it's not that this junior wants to avoid it, but I'm really too far away from that kind of existence. I really can't get in touch with it."
Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "No problem. Little friend, you just need to pay attention to it."
On the other side, 'Wutong', who was also his incarnation, comforted Li Gucheng and said, "It's fine to pay attention at all times. This is a long-term task. Senior also said that there's no hurry. Back then, everyone of us had taken up this task. Everyone should pay attention to it."
Li Gucheng laughed dryly.
Damn it, it's fine if you don't say anything. Now that you've spoken, it's even more frightening.
After pondering for a while, he decided that he wanted to calm this Mr. Zun down and also wanted to find out the truth. Thus, he gathered his courage and asked, "Senior, if … I mean if, I have some gains, how should I contact you?"
Chen Luoyang said lightly, "There's no hurry. Every once in a while, I'll invite all of you to be my guests again."
Li Gucheng nodded silently.
The Mr. Zun that Chen Luoyang incarnation asked again, "Little friend, you seem to have a lot of savings?"
Hearing this, Li Gucheng became a little more spirited and said with a smile, "Of course not, Senior."
Although he said so, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
If this Mr. Zun is short of money and needs to rely on me to get treasures, then he doesn't seem to be as resourceful as I thought …
Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Chen Luoyang say, "Then I'll directly give you the recipe for the Soothing Pill as your reward. Little friend, you should be able to gather all the materials you need to refine the pill."
Li Gucheng was stunned and blankly looked at the Mr. Zun who was completely shrouded in light.
The Mr. Zun's voice was warm and gentle. "Compared to giving a man a fish, I prefer to teach a man to fish."
Li Gucheng's breathing instantly quickened a little. It took him a lot of effort to calm down. "Thank you, Senior!"
"You're welcome. You two continue chatting." As the Mr. Zun spoke, his body was shrouded in light and he disappeared from the main hall.
'Wutong', who stayed at the table, looked at Li Gucheng who seemed to be a little more enthusiastic and suddenly laughed. "Mr. Zun's rewards have always been generous, but everything here has to be exchanged with equal value."
