Chapter 152 This Is A Sad Story
The female ghost went back to report.
Shen Yingzi held her arm and asked, "Aren't you afraid that she's just fooling you? She might say she'll help you, but once she leaves, she won't show up again?"
Chu Shen continued to look at the floor tiles and said, "I don't think so. I think that female ghost seems pretty innocent."
Shen Yingzi sneered, "Haven't you heard of ghosts telling lies?"
"Well, it doesn't matter," Chu Shen said, "I'm not someone who is difficult to deal with. Even if the other party is a ghost, I'm willing to reason with them. This place is originally the 'home' of those ghosts. If they welcome me, then I'll go find another place to stay."
"Don't you think your behavior is foolish?"
Chu Shen said calmly, "What is foolish? Is it considered smart to count it as a loss if you don't make a profit?"
Shen Yingzi scratched her head, "That's not what I meant. I just feel that what you're doing is... not in line with your original purpose of coming here, yes, that's it!"
Chu Shen tapped on the floor tiles, "Having a more open-minded attitude can save you a lot of unnecessary troubles. Gain is my fortune, loss is my fate, it's not a big deal. If this group of jade palaces is not suitable for living, I can have someone build a house that doesn't require such a deep foundation. It's just a matter of spending a little more time and money. Why force the ghosts to be homeless?"
Shen Yingzi looked at Chu Shen with a puzzled expression, "You have quite a profound mindset."
Chu Shen didn't admit it, "I just don't want to find unnecessary trouble."
I don't know if it was his attitude that made the ghosts in the Qunyu Palace feel sincerity, or if the female ghosts in the Qunyu Palace were genuinely honest ghosts who never thought of deceiving.
Not long after, the female ghost who was slapped by Chu Shen because of a prank popped her head out from underground again and said, "Great Mage, Tree Granny and Golden Grandpa are willing to see you."
Chu Shen said, "Thank you for relaying the message. By the way, next time, don't suddenly pop out from underground. If you scare me, I might accidentally hit you."
"......"
The nearby Shen Yingzi was also speechless. She didn't expect that the ghost actually went to deliver the message, and it was successful, allowing Chu Shen to meet them.
Shaking her head, she followed behind Chu Shen with Bai Ying and headed towards Tree Granny and Golden Grandpa along with the female ghost.
She wasn't afraid of danger. Apart from those reckless people like Zang Long, she hadn't heard of any incidents involving the disciples of Langhun Tian Palace who were active in the Qunyu Palace. However, walking through the corridors and alleys of the Qunyu Palace made her feel dizzy and lost, which made her uncomfortable.
Finally, the female ghost's steps stopped. She and Chu Shen had arrived at a spacious courtyard, where there was a towering jade tree that seemed to reach the heavens, but she had never seen it outside the Qunyu Palace.
Shen Yingzi's expression changed instantly.
Although she didn't have much knowledge of formations, she realized that the corridors and passages she had just passed through were likely a safe passage of a huge formation, and this place they had finally arrived at was probably a location in the Qunyu Palace that few people knew about!
At least she had never heard of anyone seeing this giant tree in the Qunyu Palace, nor had anyone entered the courtyard where this giant tree was located!
Chu Shen, on the other hand, realized the fact that he had entered the formation earlier than Shen Yingzi, but he wasn't as panicked as she was.
The 【Innate Evil-Repelling Spirit Body】 was very sensitive to evil energy, and he hadn't sensed any evil aura in the Qunyu Palace. The giant tree in front of him was filled with spiritual energy and had a peaceful aura, which didn't belong to the evil camp.
"I have seen the Tree Granny!"
He bowed very politely.
"A good child, much more polite than those reckless little brats who come running in and rummage around everywhere."
The giant tree didn't speak, but there seemed to be an echo in his mind. The voice sounded like a kind old lady, no wonder the female ghost called her "Tree Granny," Chu Shen thought.
On the other side, the Divine Sakura exclaimed, "Echoing Heart Sound!"
Then she nervously bowed to the giant tree, "I apologize for my rudeness, please forgive this junior."
Chu Shen looked at her in confusion, waiting for her to explain.
But the Divine Sakura didn't say anything, sweat dripped from her forehead, as if she was under great pressure.
The giant tree calmly said, "The little fox is quite clever, just a bit too calculating. Granny doesn't care about these things, you don't have to be so cautious."
Relieved that the Tree Granny was easy to talk to, the Divine Sakura let out a sigh of relief and said, "This junior is ignorant and inexperienced, not recognizing a True Immortal. I am deeply ashamed."
Then she explained to Chu Shen, "Echoing Heart Sound is a technique that can only be used at least at the Empty Void stage. At this stage, one is qualified to be called a Land Immortal."
Chu Shen suddenly realized that speaking directly in someone's mind was such a powerful technique. He had learned something new and bowed to the giant tree again, "I am honored to witness such divine techniques!"
Grandmother Tree chuckled and the giant tree swayed without wind, seemingly expressing a joyful mood. "No need to be overly polite. Everyone can relax a bit here. It's been a long time since I've seen outsiders. I'm glad you came to chat with me."
Chu Shen bowed and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Grandmother. The reason I came to seek an audience is to ask for your opinion. I want to find a place in Qunyu Palace to stay..."
He explained his problems clearly, not caring whether he would succeed or not. Being able to meet Grandmother Tree was already an unexpected delight in his exploration of Qunyu Palace.
To his surprise, Grandmother Tree readily agreed to his request, saying, "So 490 is just a small matter. No problem. As long as the people who move in don't trouble these poor children, you can stay anywhere in Qunyu Palace. The more people, the livelier it will be.
It's been a long, long time since I've experienced liveliness. I'm starting to miss it!"
Chu Shen was intrigued. With Grandmother Tree's age, she probably knew a lot about Qunyu Palace. Why not ask her about it?
"By the way, I don't know much about Qunyu Palace. I also don't know what's going on with these sisters who don't go through reincarnation. I wonder if Grandmother can enlighten me?"
There was a hint of sadness in Grandmother Tree's voice. "Those are all old stories. Are you interested in knowing?"
Chu Shen took a step back and said, "Exploring history is a personal interest of mine. If it's inconvenient for Grandmother to talk about it, I won't ask."
The giant tree shook, as if Grandmother Tree was shaking her head. "There's nothing inconvenient about it. It's just a long-lost battle from ancient times, a tragic story that destroyed a beautiful and dreamlike home.
So much time has passed, I'm afraid no one knows about the existences from back then. Even if we mention it, it wouldn't have any meaning.
As for these poor children, Song was a victim of that war.
A fallen leaf drifted down from the giant tree at that moment.
"If you're really interested in knowing, what I remember is all in here. Go back and see for yourself."
