Li Jia Lan said that at that time, the Katian King built magnificent temples and pagodas in Fujitsu, Pakistan's Peshawar region, and named them the Temple of Luoyang. As the name implies, the temple was built to worship the two stalks of tree that the Persians had brought in.

Legend has it that the Buddha entered and died between the two trees in the city where the corpse was bound. At that time, there was a pair of twin trees in each of the east, south, west, and north, symbolizing the vicissitudes of life.

The King of Kadoorie believed in Buddhism, and paid great attention to the symbol of Buddhism, which was the Luoyang Double Tree, and paid a huge amount of money to build a monastery to worship the Duo Tree.

However, he didn't know that these two trees were not some twin trees, but two completely unrelated Persian Tree of Life and Death.

The Persians had always worshiped the trees. The trees they worshiped were the twin trees known as the Tree of Life and Death. Legend has it that the tree of life and death can only grow in extremely cold and hot places. These two trees are rooted in a tangle, but if someone were to plant them separately, it would cause all kinds of disaster.

At that time, the Persian merchant had presented the tree as the Dai Luo Duo Tree and offered it to King Gui Shuang in exchange for the right to manage spices and silk. However, a Chinese businessman who knew the secret of feng shui also discovered the peculiarity of this when he saw Shuangshu. It was a pity that his words were not accepted in the slander of the merchant who was fighting over the right to operate. The Tree of Life and Death was also planted in the east and west courtyards of the Jin Xiang Temple, silently changing the national destiny of the Gui Shuang Empire, finally causing it to fall apart.

Although Li Jia Lan's grandfather was the descendant of Gui Shuang, it had already been a long time, and he didn't take this kind of mythical legend to heart. After all, even if all of this was true, it was still an old story. Furthermore, GuiShuang Kingdom was originally established by a variety of geographical, ethnic, cultural and religious communities, so it did not have a common patriotism like the Chinese. It was fine for him to be a Chinese American now.

However, out of curiosity and convenience, he investigated the Persian Tree of Life and Death. After more than ten years of gathering information, he discovered that the mystery of this creature far surpassed what was recorded in the legends.

Fortunately, because of the harsh living environment, and its own terrible changes to the surrounding living beings and environment, it had almost become extinct. But from the ancient classics of the excavation of the ruins of Naduo Temple in India, when the GuiShuang Empire was divided into many small countries, the trees of life and death that symbolized royal authority were brought to different parts of the world, most likely still existing in Central Asia to the continent of South Asia.

Li Jia Lan's grandfather had been planning to go to Central Asia and other places to find clues about the tree of life and death, but he was already old and was in the middle of World War II. He had not been able to make it until his death. Before dying, he had entrusted this dying wish to the descendants of his clan, hoping that they would find the Tree of Life and Death when the conditions allowed, and if it was as terrifying as the classics predicted, destroy it with their own hands.

In the decades that followed, the American identity of the Lee family was denied access to Central Asia because of the Soviet Union's control of the region. Only when the Soviet Union officially fell into the bitter war of the Imperial graveyard did the Li family's descendants finally have a chance.

Li Jia Lan, along with her father and several senior brothers, found the ruins of several temples in the ancient Fujitsu region in Peshawar, Pakistan. After confirming the location of the Temple of Dai Luoyang, they began excavating the ruins. However, apart from a few Buddha statues, there were no other gains. In the end, they bought some old classics from a local Elder and found some clues from a medical book.

The owner of this medical book was a Imperial Physician Tian Zhu of the Imperial Family of the Imperial Shuang Empire. In the medical book, other than recording all his studies and cases, there were also some court affairs, and there were very detailed records of the Twin Birds of Life and Death.

However, when they sneaked into Afghanistan later on, they were attacked by an unknown group of militants. Li Jia Lan's father and companions had all died horribly under the muzzle of a gun, and she was the only one who escaped with her life under the cover of everyone else.

The Li family only had a single descendant like Jia Lan. Their family had exhausted three generations of blood and sweat for the Two Tree of Life and Death, but in the end, they couldn't find it as they wished. His wife's dying wish had become a goal that he would have to accomplish with all his might for the rest of his life, so he gave up all his work to study the two trees.

Originally, Ma Zhang Zhan could have relied on the Li family's rich inheritance to not work at all. He felt that his fate was already sealed, and that was to find the clue to the Twin Trees, then wait for his daughter to become an adult, then he would inherit his wife's will and search for the Twin Trees. After years of research and research, he understood that this was a mission that was almost impossible to complete. His final destination would probably be death on the way to this adventure, but this was nothing. Ever since his beloved wife passed away, he no longer wanted to live on his own.

However, he never expected that an unexpected event would completely change the fate of him and Ashley.

Since Li Jia Lan's death, Ma Yuan did not look for a woman. He raised his daughter by himself. The only companion for them was a stray dog called Ka Luo, which Li Jia Lan had picked up from the outside when they first arrived in the United States.

One day, when he was out on a business trip, two thieves broke into his house and happened to meet Ashley after class. In order to protect his young master, Ka Luo bravely rushed forward to tear and bite. He was shot to death by a bandit in the courtyard. The two thieves also hurriedly ran away out of nervousness and fear.

Although Ka Luo was just a dog, he had been with him for many years. He was also raised by his wife, so he was no different from his own child.

In the past, he had been wandering in Pakistan and Afghanistan for many years, and he was a resolute man. He had also personally killed a bandit who robbed him of his goods, and after losing one of his legs and becoming disabled, he had become even more sinister and malicious. However, the happiness of marriage and the birth of his daughter had made him much more gentle.

All of this was done very covertly. He felt that even if someone suspected him, they wouldn't be able to find any evidence, but he didn't expect that this matter was still under someone's control.

One day soon after, an Indian boy, a young man who called himself Chaohan, was hired by an animal protection fund. He said that his boss, the founder of the fund, had learned about the expedition and was very fond of him and wanted him to join.

After being caught, Ma Changzhu felt that an animal protection organization would at most be more aggressive in their actions, so it was not a big deal to join them. Thus, he agreed to his invitation.

However, the boss was so secretive that he didn't want to show himself. Usually, he relied on email or letters to communicate with Ma Yat-sen. Forget about meeting him, he never even made a phone call. Ma Yuanying didn't even know his name, he just called him Mr. Jin.

Two years later, Mr. Jin said that he successfully pulled in a rich God for the Foundation, Li Yeshen, whom he could continuously fund. In addition to being in charge of some of the Foundation's daily operations, Ma Yeshen also had to provide technical support to Li Yeshen, such as finding suitable animals for training in his animal brothels, providing a blacklist for his Hell's Cinema, a reality show where Li Yeshen kidnapped, and the legal hunting procedures and services for the rich and powerful.

He deeply regretted his decision when he heard about the things that Li Yisheng had done, but in the past few years, he had been involved too deeply in the organization, and he had no reason to kill anyone. However, his daughter was still around, and if he withdrew, it would be hard to guarantee that these people would not harm Ashley. Fortunately, the foundation's background was deep, and it was like a huge black umbrella covering everything.

After listening to his father's story, Ashley finally understood why he entered such an evil organization, but she didn't understand why these people would pick on him, and what this had to do with Ranga.

Ma Zhang Zhan said with a wry smile, "At first, I thought I was moved by my impulsive act of killing those two criminals for Ka Luo. However, I realized that it wasn't that simple after all. Although I had never met Mr. King before, I could sense that he was not a bad person in the traditional sense, except that he had some special experiences that had led to personality and values that were so extreme that he thought those who abused animals deserved to die, and that was why the Foundation, in addition to helping wild animals, also punished sadists. But Liye Sheng is different. This man is crazy, he once told me that he believes in those weird polytheism, that all life is a competition of equals, that everything man does to animals can also be imposed on people by animals. Different species are completely the same to him, they are all the same living beings. His actions and interests were not restricted at all. It was as if he could do anything he wanted as long as he liked. However, regardless of what the two of them did, they had one thing in common. They were very dissatisfied with the world and hoped to change it. It was for this reason that the two of them, who seemed to be the complete opposite of each other, came together and fixed their attention on me, who had been working on the Twin Trees for a long time. From a technical point of view, the three of us have our own advantages. I might be the person who knows the most about Twin Trees in the world, with Li Yesheng's wealth and resources, and Mr. Jin's execution ability to solve difficult problems. If you combine all three of us, you might be able to find Twin Trees. "

Yao suddenly interrupted and asked him, "Your wife is a descendant of Gui Shuang, they think that the Twin Trees caused the fall of the Empire, and they have always wanted to find and destroy this terrible creature. But what is the purpose of Mr. Jin and Li Yeshen's search for the Twin Trees? You say they are dissatisfied with this world, are they going to use the two trees to destroy this world? A tree can do this? "

"Although I have studied the Twin Trees for a long time, my understanding of this strange creature is only a drop in the bucket. The Twin Trees are not like any other living thing in this world, they are very fragile, they can only grow in areas that are extremely cold and hot at the same time, but they are also very tenacious." They can use photosynthesis to gain nutrients, or they can absorb nutrients from other plants, or even meat. It is precisely because of this that the Twin Trees are also known as Immortal Trees or Demonic Trees. The ancients believed that it was the source of all living things, or perhaps it was the creation of gods, humans, and demons. The most direct example is right in front of us, those guardian monkeys of Wenga City. "
