Xu ‌ Nian Ying ‌.

The monster looked happy: "Thank you! My flint suddenly failed to light, and I was worried about what to do tonight!"

The monster couldn't wait to sit by the fire, took out the food and gobbled it up to fill his stomach. Then he remembered that there was someone next to him, so he asked a little embarrassedly: "Do you want to eat?"

"No need." Xu ‌nian yawned and said lazily, "You eat what you have."

The monster saw that he was young and his beautiful face was full of boyishness, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Are you also here to find the World Tree?"

At one o'clock in the year of Xu, the monster seemed to have met a close friend, and kept chattering: "I guess so! Otherwise, who would come to this ghost place?" The old tree monster hadn't appeared for several years, and the result was...

Now we are on this snow-capped mountain... Did you know that we passed by that river today, and several little demons sank in it? They all came to make wishes on the World Tree, but unfortunately they all died on the way.

!”

The World Tree in Yokai is the oldest Yokai in the world and has survived for more than tens of thousands of years. As a well-known "wishing tree" in both worlds, it will randomly appear in every corner of the world, sometimes at sea.

Sometimes it is land. Legend has it that if you hang your wish under a golden bell, once the tree demon accepts the golden bell, the wish will come true.

After that tragic accident happened, Xu Nian had been paying attention to the news about the World Tree, and waited for two years until it finally appeared again.

Xu ‌nian didn't say a word, and the monster ‌ explained his situation: "I have to climb the mountain again tomorrow. It's so dangerous along the way. I really hope that the old tree demon can give me extremely powerful power——

I haven’t said it yet, have I? My wish is to become stronger. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t give it to me, just come here as an experience.”

At the end of the sentence, the monster chuckled.

Xu ‌nian thought to himself that this wish of yours has really penetrated the color of you monster clan from beginning to end. The monster suddenly asked: "What about you? Do you have any wishes that cannot be realized?"

As if being touched by the key words in his words, the man's eyes flashed slightly, and finally he said softly: "Pray for peace for the one I like."

The monster was stunned for a moment and blessed from the bottom of his heart: "Then may all our wishes come true!"

This time, the World Tree is on the top of a steep snow-capped mountain. The higher you go, the thinner the air becomes. The mountains and plains are all white, and you can occasionally see a few cold-resistant plants. The dry cold brought by the high altitude makes Xu Nian have to slow down his breathing.

Several monsters climbing the mountain around him disappeared one after another. I don’t know if they were walking in front of him or if they retreated down the mountain in the face of difficulty.

When more than half of the dry food he brought was used up, Xu Nian finally saw the shadow of the World Tree. He was exhausted from rushing on the road one day, so he hurriedly filled his stomach and fell asleep at night. When the sun began to rise,

, he walked out of the cave and realized that he had arrived at the top of the snow mountain without knowing it.

He raised his head.

Not far away, the huge World Tree is like a canopy of green, its canopy that blocks out the sky rushes into the clouds, and its thick trunk is like an iron tower reaching the sky. In an alpine area where almost no plants grow, such an incredibly huge tree is like a miracle.

Xu ‌nian attached thunder and lightning to the soles of his feet, accelerated his speed and ran towards the ‌ direction of the World Tree, and greatly mobilized his abilities on the snowy mountain. He spent his energy and finally reached the foot of the World Tree. Xu ‌nian panted heavily.

The eyes are extremely bright.

He didn't even want to rest, so he hurriedly took out the golden bell from his backpack. The golden bell was decorated with long and thin strips of red cloth. The man knelt under the tree and wrote carefully on the red cloth one stroke at a time.

‌.

In order to shield the wind and snow, he deliberately imposed a barrier. After finishing the last stroke, Xu Nian held the golden bell in his frostbitten hands and carefully touched the dryad's torso.

no response.

Although the name of the World Tree is known to everyone, not many people are really willing to travel across mountains and rivers to make wishes. First, the places where the World Tree appears every time are remote and dangerous, and second, the old tree demon rarely responds to prayers.

Hopefully, the last time I accepted the golden bell was hundreds of years ago.

Xu ‌nian remained motionless, holding the golden bell persistently and standing on the spot. I don’t know how long it had passed, but the sun climbed up to the top of the mountain, and the bright light of thousands of feet passed through the gaps between the treetops. Xu ‌nian moved for a while and felt sour.

With his arms stretched out, he sat down on the spot and finished eating the dry food.

After a short rest, he once again stood under the tree holding the golden bell in his hand, but the tree demon made no movement from beginning to end. The sun set in the west and the sky became darker and darker. Xu ‌nian had to accept the reality. He tightly

Holding the cold golden bell, I took a final disappointed look at the World Tree reaching to the sky, then bent down and placed the golden bell in the snowdrift under the tree.

If he didn't go down the mountain, the food he brought wouldn't be enough to support him to the bottom of the mountain.

Xu ‌ was dying and embarked on the way he came. Despondently, going down the mountain was more troublesome than going up. When he reached the small town at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, he was exhausted. Because of the appearance of the World Tree, he has been staying all year round.

The deserted town gathered a large number of tourists who came here for its name. The monster vendor was enthusiastically selling a cart full of mahogany signs: "These are wooden signs made of the branches of the world tree. I want you to make your wish."

‌On top, and then hang it on the banyan tree dozens of meters away, your wish will come true!... You ask why? These two trees are brother trees. Hanging on the banyan tree, the world tree on the top of the mountain is also

can hear!"

A group of people gathered in a circle, and a group of couples among them were so moved that they were about to pay.

"He's making up a story." Xu ‌ said weakly, "The branches of the World Tree are harder than steel, and he can't pull them off at all. Open the online shopping software, and the wholesale price of this pile of junk is no more than one hundred."

"Hey!" the monster vendor became angry, "If you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. Stop talking nonsense here!"

Xu ‌nian was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked back to the hotel with his almost broken legs. After charging the phone that automatically shut down, a new message popped up. Xu ‌nian glanced at it unintentionally and was instantly attracted by it.

Nailed in place.

——Just half an hour later, the Demon Slayer General Administration detected a large-scale demonic riot at the edge of the boneyard.

According to subsequent data feedback, a demon tribe destroyed the detection system set up by the General Administration in the surrounding area after leaving the boneyard. Such terrifying destructive power was the superimposed effect of multiple abilities. It was confirmed that it was all done by one person.

The demon clan's behavior was extremely ostentatious, almost directly revealing his identity.

Xu ‌nian read the messages pushed by the college over and over again, fearing that he would get the wrong meaning. He chewed on just a few lines over and over again. He even twisted his arm hard to make sure he was not dreaming.

For two years, everyone thought that Yu Huai had no chance of returning to the boneyard. The Demon Slayer General Administration even withdrew the wanted order. Hearing the news unprepared, the Demon Slayer who had participated in related incidents that year

Everyone is in danger for a while.

Yu Huai is really here.

With this clear understanding formed in his mind, a smile broke out on Xu ‌nian's face unknowingly. He was so happy that he even yelled randomly in the room. Gradually, Xu ‌nian's ‌ voice could be heard.

But there was a hint of crying that was not easy to detect. He seemed to have lost all his strength and burden at once, fell on the bed and cried unbridled.

Xu ‌nian's cell phone kept ringing. News from his parents, master, and friends were overwhelming. The United Community also exploded as early as possible:

[Damn it, all of you kneel down and call me daddy! The twenty-three-year-old is the first person to be killed in the boneyard!]

[The leaders of the four districts are all at least a hundred years old. Is there any knowledgeable brother who can tell me which district leader he killed to steal the cursed bead?]

[I don’t know how many abilities Yu Huai gained during this trip. Wouldn’t he just walk sideways afterward???]

[He can walk backwards! The Demon Slayer Bureau must be crazy now, because chasing people into the boneyard back then was equivalent to sending them to hell, but then they went in to upgrade to the full level and they came again!]

[Two years, just two years. Yu Huai is so fucking scary. If I were one of those exorcists, I would be trembling at home right now.]

[And Xu ‌nian, don’t be scared to tears.]

…

…

"Idiot, I'm so happy." Xu ‌nian wiped away his tears and muttered to himself. After a while, he couldn't help but laugh while holding his phone. He opened the window and looked towards the ‌ direction of the World Tree.

The silvery moonlight was like flowing water. Different from the scene of heavy snow on the top of the mountain, there was fine catkin-like snow falling leisurely in the town, and the surroundings were silent. As if feeling something, he closed his eyes.

"If you accept my wish..." Xu Nianxiao said, "Thank you, please bless him forever."

On the top of the majestic and steep snow-capped mountains, the World Tree stands facing the wind, and the sweet sound of jingling golden bells can be faintly heard from the dense cloud-like canopy.

A few hours later, when Xu Nian was getting further and further away, the golden bell he placed at the foot of the World Tree suddenly rose in the wind. It was pulled by the power of the tree demon and flew upward, finally disappearing deep into the prosperous tree canopy.

at.

Under the golden bell, there are blessings that may not be announced to you in the next year.

To Yu Huai:

I hope you are safe, not sick, and will never encounter misfortune again. Even if you have troubles, they are trivial things that can be forgotten in the next second. Just like in the past, you can be the twinkling star and the out-of-reach moon, facing you all the way.

To realize all impossible wishes and never fall into the chaotic world.
