This is a purple jungle with strange plants growing everywhere and a blue mist that lingers all year round. The further you go in, the damper you get under your feet and the darker you get above your head. Finally, the branches and leaves completely cover the sky. Tang Seng was also completely lost.
“What a vibrant place, with so many different lives.” Tang Seng smiled.
“Thank you!” A voice answered him.
Tang Monk turned around and saw a talking tree. There were two blinking eyes on the purple-black trunk.
“It’s amazing, how wonderful life is. Let me touch you, the spirit in the soil.” Tang Seng stretched out his hand.
The tree trunk was filled with purple sap and felt extremely slippery.
The tree was enjoying the caressing, and its countless drooping branches could not help but sway comfortably.
“Oh, no one has come to me for tens of thousands of years. Once upon a time… thousands of years ago, a group of monkeys played on me, and then they disappeared. I didn’t have eyes at that time, I can only feel that there are many moving creatures talking and singing around me. I can’t see or move, but I am very happy. Now I finally have eyes. But I don’t know where they are… I don’t know where they are. Already…”
“They are dead.” Tang Seng said.
“Death? What is death?”
“To die is to see nothing, hear nothing, feel nothing, and think nothing, just like you were before you were born.”
“No, don’t die! And don’t live alone.”
“You may live for a long time. You don’t have arms or legs yet. They will grow out in the future.”
“It took me a hundred thousand years to grow eyes. I can’t bear the long wait anymore. I want to touch the same kind around me now, touch you. The smell of you really makes me Intoxicated.”
“I haven’t taken a shower for a long time. By the way, you have no mouth, how can you talk?”
“I use this.” The strange tree shook a branch in front of it.
There is a human mouth on it.
“This is not your own.”
“Yes, I picked it up. A man was eaten here three hundred years ago. What’s left is this. I soaked it with my tree sap that can nourish all things to prevent it from rotting. I spent dozens more on it. It took years to grow branches and pick it up.”
“This is not good, you are opportunistic. If it is not yours, you must return it to where it came from.”
“Don’t you want to know why that person was eaten?”
“Is it because I saw you?”
“Yes.”
Suddenly, Tang Seng found that his feet had been entangled in vines at some point.
A low whine sounded behind him, and Tang Monk smelled a fishy smell spraying onto his neck, but he could not look back.
“Leave his hands to me, I like those hands.” said the strange tree.
“You want the leftovers of others. If you do your job as a demon, I will kill you.” Tang Seng said.
“If I had my head, I would consider it.”
A pair of paws rested on Tang Seng’s shoulders.
The strange tree said: “Wait a minute, I want to say one last word to him. After I got this mouth, this is the first one who can talk to me. I am very interested in a person’s psychology when being eaten. What are the activities like?”
“Why is there so much nonsense? I am not afraid of early death and early rebirth.” Tang Seng said, “Do you really want to hear my last words?”
The strange tree swayed its branches and leaves up and down.
“Okay.” Tang Seng took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, “Help!”
