Passing through the sea of flowers, there are some ancient trees that are sparsely growing further forward.
Judging from their shape, they must be quite old.
The thick trunks are wrapped with a layer of old bark, and the bark is all chapped.
The trees are old and have many branches and leaves.
Some branches have almost caught up with the trunks of some trees.
The countless thin branches growing on them form a huge umbrella canopy.
It was shady and cool as we walked down there, and the sun above our heads could hardly penetrate the tree canopy and hit people.
There were just a few more fallen leaves on the ground, and no one was cleaning them, leaving them covered with a thick layer.
Stepping on the dead leaves, one foot is deep and the other is shallow, as if it is equipped with a spring.
When you step on it, it will bounce up, and if you step on it again, it will continue to bounce up.
Fortunately, the ground is dry and the dead leaves will not be all over your feet.
Through the gap between the old trees, there is a small river not far away.
The sound of the gurgling river water is clear and sweet.
If you turn your head and look at it for a while, you can see white pearl-like waves splashing from the river water from time to time.
Further in the distance is the cliff.
The cliffs on the left and right sides tower into the clouds.
If you raise your head hard, you can barely see the top of the cliff hidden behind the clouds and mist.
Wu Jiuzhu led the way without saying a word.
Gu Tian felt relaxed and took Wang Shan to look around and meow, sometimes even pointing with his fingers.
There are not too many ancient trees on both sides of the road.
Not long after walking, you emerge from under the tree canopy, and the sun can shine on your head.
Going further and standing far away, you can see two stones as tall as one person, like an arch, stationed on both sides of the road.
Walking closer, Gu Tian discovered that behind two stones was a lonely wooden house, with some branches on both sides forming a fence, enclosing a small courtyard.
The small fenced courtyard is simpler, with only a few stone pillars and a stone table, and a stone road in the middle, leading directly from the courtyard gate to the wooden house.
There was a teapot and teacups placed on the stone table.
There was mist on the teacups, exuding heat, and an old man with white hair sat next to him.
From the back, Gu Tian recognized the old man with his back to them as the great elder of the temple.
The dragon-head crutch was still lying on the stone pier beside him.
Sure enough, Wu Jiuzhu walked over and said, "Great Elder, people have brought it."
The elder nodded, picked up the teacup on the table with three fingers, put it to his mouth, and drank the tea in the teacup without looking at it.
Putting down the tea cup, the elder stood up shakily, turned around, leaned his buttocks on the stone table, and leaned on the dragon-head crutch in his right hand.
The Great Elder did not speak immediately.
Instead, he looked at Gu Tian with his cloudy old eyes.
Gu Tian's heart went crazy as he kept looking at him, and his hands clenched into fists unnaturally.
At this time, the great elder raised his crutch and pointed at the ancient sky, and the old voice sounded, "Follow me, I will stay here to drink tea."
After saying that, he walked around the stone table, held the crutch in his hand, and staggered towards the wooden house.
Wang Shan held Gu Tian's hand tightly, as if she was worried about him leaving alone.
Gu Tian smiled and patted the back of Wang Shan's hand to indicate that he was fine.
He let go of Wang Shan's hand, quickly chased after the old man, and walked into the wooden house with the old man.
Seeing the Great Elder and Gu Tian entering the wooden house, Wu Jiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, seemed to have relieved himself of a heavy burden, walked to a stone pier and sat down.
He raised his hand and turned over the two upside-down teacups on the stone table, picked up the teapot, and poured some tea into one teacup.
After doing all this, he waved to Wang Shan and said: "Sit down and drink some tea.
This is the great elder's treasure.
I usually don't have the chance to drink it.
This time I have benefited from you."

After waiting for a while, he saw that Wang Shan did not come over, but looked worriedly at the wooden house.
Wu Jiuzhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a big opportunity for him.
Come, sit down and drink tea."
Wang Shan looked at the wooden house for a while, then slowly walked to the stone table, picked a stone pillar where she could see the direction of the wooden house, and sat down.
"That's right, let's drink tea first.
Let's drink tea while we wait for them to come out."
Wu Jiuzhu pushed the cup full of tea over.
Wang Shan just took the tea cup with her hand, but her eyes were always on the wooden house.
Seeing her like this, Wu Jiuzhu smiled and shook his head.
Without saying a word, he picked up the tea cup at hand and started to drink.
The great elder walked into the wooden house first, turned around and said to Gu Tian who followed behind: "Close the door."
Gu Tian was speechless.
He pushed a wooden door with each hand and closed the two wooden doors together.
The light in the room suddenly dimmed.
Seeing that the door was closed, the elder walked to the back room and poked the ground a few times with his crutch.
He saw a stone slab slowly moving to one side, revealing a dark hole.
"Come in with me."
The elder said to Gu Tian who was standing in the outer room, and walked into the cave on crutches.
Gu Tian stood in front of the cave entrance and hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, turned over and jumped in.
Unexpectedly, the great elder was standing near the cave entrance waiting for him.
With this jump, he almost hit the great elder.
"I'm old, and it's hard to move my arms and legs.
I can't compare to you young people, who are so busy."
The elder said in a frosty voice and walked forward.
Gu Tian, who was standing behind, curled his lips and said to himself, an old arm and leg like you can be more powerful than a young man like me.
The cave is not too big, and the elder can just walk inside with his hunched back.
However, Gu Tian is taller and would bump into the stone wall above if he stood upright, so he had to walk bent down.
Fortunately, the road was not too far.
When he turned a corner, he saw an underground palace in front of him.
The palace might be a bit reluctant, but it was definitely big enough, no smaller than many palaces.
The great elder was standing at the door of the palace at the moment, with his back to Gu Tian and his eyes looking at a statue in the palace.
Gu Tian walked to the great elder and stopped, looking at the palace in front of him.
Except for a statue, the rest of the space was empty, as if this hall was built for this statue.
"Stand here and take a good look at the statue in front of you."
The elder said without looking back, his eyes fixed on the statue.
The statue is eight feet tall, holding a black spear in its right hand, a white jade hanging around its waist, and its long hair hanging on its shoulders.
There is nothing special about it.
No, there are those eyes.
The eyes of a statue are like stars in the night sky.
There is nothing there, but it makes people feel like there are stars twinkling inside.
Perhaps the great elder estimated that Gu Tian had finished looking at the statue in front of him, so he raised his crutch and pointed at the statue and said, "Do you feel that it looks familiar to you when you see it?"
Gu Tian looked at the statue again, finally shook his head, and cursed in his heart: You old man, this is the first time I have seen this statue, I am not familiar with it, but the spear in the statue's hand is quite...
Familiar, seems to have seen it somewhere.
The Great Elder seemed not surprised that Gu Tian was not familiar with this statue and said, "It doesn't matter if you are not familiar with it.
You will become familiar with it soon
