Outside Chang'an City, a 600-meter-high tree stands tall and lush.

If a person walks below, he will inevitably feel that this tree is covering the sky and the sun.

Around the big tree, there is a three-foot-high fence.

This fence is not an ordinary fence, but a peerless formation arranged by Lin Ze himself, the last umbrella of the Jianmu Divine Tree.

Under the saint, even if the third realm of heaven and man came, there was no way to break through Lin Zebu's formation and hurt the Jianmu Divine Tree.

After all, with the last Demon Emperor cutting off the Jianmu Divine Tree in front of him, Lin Ze certainly had to be cautious.

Beyond the fence were one hundred and eight heavily armed Janissaries.

Each of them has the cultivation of the six qualities of martial arts, and they are responsible for fertilizing the Jianmu Divine Tree and controlling the number of people who worship the Jianmu Divine Tree every day.

Lin Ze's method of controlling the number of worshippers is very simple, whoever comes will be given a piece of paper with a number written on it.

Every day, people are released in order of numbering to worship in front of the Jianmu Sacred Tree, until 10,000 people are full.

If there is a person who does not have a turn on the same day, it will be postponed to the next day, and if the number does not come, it will be deemed invalid.

In this way, the person who received the number can roughly calculate when it will be his turn, and he does not have to wait until the day is approaching to take a look.

In just one year, the number was sent to nine figures.

Further out, there are the officials of the three Chang'an Mansions.

These men assisted the Janissaries in maintaining order and preventing disturbances and stealing high-numbered pieces of paper to sell for money.

At the beginning, some people were greedy for profit, and they did do similar things, until Lin Ze ordered that the whole family of the captured person be sent to a hard labor camp and confiscated all the family property, and basically disappeared.

Some money, if you have a life, you have to have a life to spend it.

Three hundred meters away from the Jianmu Sacred Tree, a small house covering an area of three acres was built very suddenly.

This mansion was specially built by Lin Ze, and Zhuang Zhou usually lived in it, guarding the Jianmu Sacred Tree.

After all, the formation laid by Lin Ze can only block the celestials, not the saints, if the Jianmu Divine Tree that he has worked so hard to cultivate can give people a knife in two, Lin Ze will probably be angry.

Just in case, Lin Ze and Zhuang Zhou will take turns to come over to guard.

And today, it is Zhuang Zhou's turn.

Lin Ze did not alarm the guards guarding the Jianmu Divine Tree, and quietly entered the mansion.

Zhuang Zhou, who was meditating and enlightening, suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and looked at Lin Ze in front of him, and said with a sigh of relief: "Senior brother, this cultivation is becoming more and more profound." ”

Lin Ze smiled and said, "No matter how high you are, you can't be as tall as Senior Brother." ”

Previously, Lin Ze felt that Zhuang Zhou's promotion to the saint realm was not long ago, and his cultivation should not be too high, but this year, as his cultivation improved, he felt more and more unfathomable.

The fearlessness of the ignorant may refer to this.

Zhuang Zhou didn't answer and asked, "Senior brother is here for the sudden decrease in the growth rate of the Jianmu Divine Tree?"

Lin Ze replied: "That's right, does Senior Brother have any opinion on this?"

Zhuang Zhou shook his head slightly and said, "I can't say anything, didn't I let Wu Fan tell my junior brother at a glance?" It is very likely that the Jianmu Divine Tree has entered the second stage, and the daily growth limit has decreased. ”

Lin Ze frowned slightly and said: "Less than two hundred zhang, logically speaking, it should be far from the second stage, how can it be more than three hundred zhang." ”

"Otherwise, by the end of the ten stages, the Jianmu Divine Tree will not even be 10,000 meters, how can it go up to the Heavenly Realm and connect the Nine Shadows below?"

Zhuang Zhou laughed when he heard this: "Senior brother's words are wrong, whether the Jianmu Divine Tree can go up to the heavenly realm and connect the nine shadows below has no direct causal relationship with the height. ”

"At the end of the ten stages, it means that the Jianmu Divine Tree has fully grown and has the magic that connects the heavens, the earth and the earth. ”

"Now that we have entered the second stage in less than a year, it is not a bad thing, but a good thing, and the junior brother should be happy. ”

Lin Ze took a quick look at the information he received when he started the recovery of the Jianmu Divine Tree a year ago, and found that what Zhuang Zhou said was indeed recorded.

"But junior brother remembers that the second stage of the Jianmu Divine Tree is after three hundred and thirty zhang, and now it is nearly half advanced, is it okay?"

Three hundred and thirty zhang, it was not Lin Ze's groundlessness, but the information he received at the beginning.

Zhuang Zhou's face was thoughtful, and he said with some hesitation: "It is recorded in ancient books that it is indeed three hundred and thirty zhang, could it be that I guessed wrong?"

"No, the daily cap for each stage is fixed, and under the same conditions, there is no reason why the cap will be reduced by 30%. ”

Lin Ze also looked confused: "Maybe it's because there are fewer heavenly treasures and the power of faith." ”

Zhuang Zhou bowed slightly: "I can't rule out this possibility, but whether it's because of this has to be observed tomorrow." ”

Lin Ze immediately clapped his hand and said: "If you are in a hurry, then wait one more day and see the situation." ”

"The amount of heaven and earth treasures invested today has been doubled, and the people who worship the Jianmu Divine Tree have also doubled, and the junior brother immediately arranged it. ”

After saying this, Lin Ze immediately transmitted the sound to guard the leader of the Praetorian Guard who was guarding the Jianmu Divine Tree.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard listened attentively for a while, bowed in the direction of Chang'an, and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Then the leader of the Praetorian Guard walked up to the people queuing up to receive the number, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has just sent a decree to the general, saying that there will be an additional 10,000 places to worship the sacred tree today. ”

"As the saying goes, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, these places, Your Majesty means to choose from among you, it's really cheap for you. ”

"Someone, immediately speed up the production of 10,000 pieces of paper numbered 01 to 10,000, and send them out on the spot, until they are finished. ”

The ordinary people who lined up to receive the number at the scene immediately cheered and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live Xiqin." ”

Lin Ze listened to it on the side, his face couldn't help but darken, a group of Diao people, who do you look down on?

After the leader of the Praetorian Guard finished speaking, a Praetorian Guard soldier whispered: "General, wouldn't it be bad to do this, and those numbered in the front will not feel unfair?"

The leader of the Praetorian Guard glanced at his subordinates coldly, and said with great disgust: "Do you dare to disobey Your Majesty's will? Do you think your neck is too hard and you keep chopping it?"

The Praetorian Guard soldier's face turned white, his head dizzy, and he said, "Is it really Your Majesty's will?"

The face of the leader of the Praetorian Guard changed greatly: "Bastard, if it weren't for His Majesty's will, would he dare to falsely pass on the holy decree?"

"Coming, Meng Ran ignored the order of the Shangguan, and was disrespectful to the Shangguan, and pulled down the staff and scolded the fifty military sticks to set an example. ”

The Praetorian Guard soldiers were immediately pulled aside, fist-thick sticks waiting.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard spat at the punished subordinates, no brains, how many heads of labor and management dare to falsely pass on the holy decree? Isn't it good to live?

Lin Ze saw the episode that happened in the Praetorian Guard, but he didn't intervene.

From Lin Ze's point of view, there are really not many things in the world that can make him care.

Then Lin Ze took out a jade plate from his arms and threw it at Wu Fan, who was in the palace dozens of miles away.

"You hold the jade pendant, go to the inner library to mobilize 1,500 pieces of medium-grade heavenly and earthly treasures, and quickly transport them to the sacred tree outside the city, there must be no mistake. ”

Wu Fan took the jade pendant with both hands, was stunned for a moment, and then bowed in the direction of the Jianmu Divine Tree outside the city: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Then Wu Fan mobilized a team of Jinyi Guard elites, dragged the carriage, and went straight to the direction where Neiku was.

The guards and chamberlains guarding the inner treasury saw Wu Fan walking towards him with a team of brocade guards, and immediately said loudly: "The inner treasury is important, unless it is your majesty's decree, ordinary people are not allowed to approach, and those who violate the order will not be killed." ”

Wu Fan held up the jade pendant and shouted: "On the orders of His Majesty, mobilize a batch of materials to go out of the city, and ask all colleagues to cooperate." ”
