Me? A Wise One?
Does this mean I should hold onto this branch?
Seeing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but ask.
Then, Xiao Lin saw the Bodhi leaf at the tip of the branch seem to nod and sway.
Seeing that the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which had just been able to respond to him verbally, could now only communicate with him through actions, Xiao Lin fell into a brief moment of hesitation.
But after a moment's thought, considering that the Bodhi Ancient Tree was not at its peak and that it did not have the ability to forcibly keep him there, Xiao Lin decided to do as instructed.
"Slap"
And so, Xiao Lin slowly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the emerald green branch.
"Swish"
Just after Xiao Lin Moving, the emerald green branch seemed to transform into a snake and coiled around his right arm.
This unexpected turn of events startled Xiao Lin.
His first instinct was to shake off the lush green branch.
After all, the Bodhi Ancient Tree doesn't even know whether its body is currently controlled by evil or good thoughts.
If it's the former, I'm afraid we'll have to tie him up, hang him up, and whip him!
Xiao Lin didn't want to put himself in such a passive situation.
"Buzz~"
However, before Xiao Lin could do that, the surrounding Void suddenly shifted.
When he looked around again, he found himself standing beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree!
At this moment, Xiao Lin's fear of the Bodhi Ancient Tree deepened even further!
"Rustling sound~"
A breeze blows, and the drooping branches of the Bodhi Ancient Tree sway in the wind.
However, Xiao Lin's attention was not on this at all.
At that moment, directly in front of him, on the surface of the thick trunk of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, an old human face suddenly appeared.
This scene looked somewhat eerie, but surprisingly, it didn't create any sense of horror.
Furthermore, the old man's face that appeared on the trunk of the Bodhi Ancient Tree carried only a hint of kindness and weariness.
"Bodhi Ancient Tree?"
Xiao Lin softly called out the other person's name.
"Swish"
Just as Xiao Lin's call ended, the emerald green branch that had been wrapped around his right hand was also retracted by the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lin saw the old man's face on the trunk of the Bodhi Ancient Tree and spoke.
However, what the other party said next completely stunned Xiao Lin.
"Wise One... you have finally arrived..."
Just like the aged face of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the other person's voice also carried a deep sense of weariness.
However, Xiao Lin didn't have time to worry about these things right now.
What he really cared about was the way the Bodhi Ancient Tree addressed him.
Wise Ones?
What the hell is this?
At this moment, Xiao Lin was truly stunned.
Does this story actually exist in the Original Work?
That's definitely not the case!
But besides calling him a "Wise One," why would the Bodhi Ancient Tree also say, "You've finally come"?
This statement implies that the Bodhi Ancient Tree had long sensed his arrival.
However, in Xiao Lin's view, this was clearly impossible!
After all, his visit to the Bodhi Ancient Tree was purely on a whim, and he just wanted to figure out a few things along the way.
In the Original Work, he didn't even survive until before the plot began!
Therefore, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's phrase "You've finally arrived" is quite meaningful.
Xiao Lin couldn't believe that the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which had lived for countless years, would suddenly make such a pointless move.
Therefore, there is definitely something in this that even someone who read the entire Battle Through the Heavens in his previous life, including the trilogy, didn't understand!
"Bodhi Ancient Tree, what do you mean? Why do you call me 'the Wise One'? What is this 'Wise One'? And did you know I was coming to find you?"
Xiao Lin stared intently at the Bodhi Ancient Tree, then fired off a barrage of questions.
Now, he has temporarily put aside the questions he originally wanted to understand and instead needs to figure out the new ones that have arisen.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Lin has too many doubts in his mind right now.
The "charlatan" behavior of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, in particular, left Xiao Lin completely bewildered.
"Wise One is one with great wisdom, who can understand the past, present, future, and the vast universe!"
The Bodhi Ancient Tree was clearly beginning to answer the questions in Xiao Lin's mind.
Because it needed Xiao Lin's help, it would naturally answer all of Xiao Lin's questions.
"Knowledgeable of the past, present, future, and the heavens and the earth?"
After listening to the Bodhi Ancient Tree's explanation, Xiao Lin murmured to himself.
To be honest, as a time traveler, he does seem to fit the Bodhi Ancient Tree's explanation.
However, his so-called knowledge of the past, present, future, and the heavens was not something he calculated, but something he knew from the Original Work!
This is considered his skill?
Xiao Lin felt that the Bodhi Ancient Tree's title of "Wise One" seemed a bit too casual.
But he couldn't explain the matter of time travel to the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
However, at this moment, the image of the Bodhi Ancient Tree a "charlatan" in Xiao Lin's mind became more three-dimensional.
However, Xiao Lin had originally thought so, but what the Bodhi Ancient Tree said next made his expression change drastically!
"Wise One, you need not doubt yourself. I have just examined your situation, and you are undoubtedly Wise One! I am the Bodhi, but the world also calls me the Wisdom Reincarnation Tree!"
I can sense the aura of "wisdom" emanating from you.
Moreover, the most important manifestation of Wise One is not only knowing the past, present, and future, and the heavens and the earth, but also knowing past lives and this life...
"Boom"
As the Bodhi Ancient Tree finished speaking, Xiao Lin felt his head buzzing.
Xiao Lin didn't care about anything else in the Bodhi Ancient Tree's words; his only focus was on the phrase "understanding past and present lives"!
For the first time, Xiao Lin felt that his deepest secret had been exposed.
No, it was exposed by a tree...
If Xiao Lin had just thought the Bodhi Ancient Tree was a "charlatan tree," he now realized that it actually had "a tiny bit" of substance.
Not much, just a tiny fraction of the universe!
Xiao Lin's expression changed several times in a short period of time.
It can be said that even when facing the Hun Tiandi, Xiao Lin's mind had never been as chaotic as it was at this moment.
"Phew~"
After a long while, Xiao Lin finally let out a deep breath, then asked with a complicated expression, "Bodhi Ancient Tree, do you know about my past life?"
Xiao Lin's tone carried a hint of probing.
"It's not that I know your past life, it's that you know your past life... but I have no way of knowing about your past experiences. Although I am called the Wisdom Reincarnation Tree, I am not omnipotent..."
The Bodhi Ancient Tree explained it this way.
"Phew~"
Finally, Xiao Lin let out another breath, a relieved expression appearing on his face.
Fortunately, that's all the Bodhi Ancient Tree knew...
