The Liangjie Tree appeared overnight in the east, west, south, and north regions.
It quickly attracted the attention of netizens, and within half a day, it had already topped the trending search list.
The current generation of netizens basically grew up watching the "Live Stream: Daily Healing in the Underworld, I Am Bai Wuchang" live stream. Even those who hadn't watched it had heard of its deeds.
Therefore, upon discovering this news, netizens had varying reactions.
"The Western Palace also had such a tree. Could this be another new invention from the Underworld?"
"But the style is clearly different!"
In the short video, the newly emerged tree looked much like an ordinary large tree. Only its trunk was thicker and its leaves were greener. It was said that if you got close, you could smell a faint floral fragrance.
Then, looking at the Contract Tree that the Western Palace had created before, it was as if it was made entirely of glazed glass. Its branches spread out, and something red flowed slowly within. At first glance, it was a blood-red glazed tree standing on a steep mountain peak. It clearly wasn't something from the mortal world.
Compared to the Liangjie Tree, it seemed rather ordinary.
Thus, netizens speculated:
"Could it be a new entrance to the Ghost Realm?"
"It's possible."
"Uh, I have an idea... Could this be someone trying to gain traffic?"
"To create so many large, identical trees simultaneously... if one had that capability, they probably wouldn't need to chase traffic."
Nowadays, anything related to the Underworld could easily attract attention. There had also been many instances of influencers seeking traffic. Of course, those who were too aggressive had been warned by the authorities. What could be used for traffic and what couldn't... if this balance wasn't managed well, it was hard to say if it would lead to any trouble. Just as the streamer had said before: don't go looking for ghosts if you don't know them.
...
Despite the extensive online discussions, most netizens were merely observing and joining the excitement. After all, the tree looked truly ordinary. Moreover, whether it was an invention of the Underworld or not, wouldn't they know once the streamer started their broadcast?
And so, amidst the attention of the entire internet, around five or six in the afternoon, the familiar mobile notification sound finally rang.
[Ding~ The 'Live Stream: Daily Healing in the Underworld, I Am Bai Wuchang' live stream you are following has started. Come and watch!]
The viewers who had waited for nearly a day quickly opened their phones and entered the live stream.
"First!"
"Here we go! ||ヽ(*￣▽￣*)ノミ|Ю"
"I'm so hungry waiting, I'll grab a bite first. *Slurp slurp*..."
...
"Good afternoon."
In the live stream, Jiang Lin stood in the sky above the Underworld. Behind him was the long Yellow Springs Road. On the Yellow Springs Road, souls waiting to be guided formed a long queue. The Bian Hua flowers on both sides were resplendent, swaying gently in the breeze.
"Today, I'll introduce you to the new invention of the Underworld, the [Liangjie Tree]."
He said calmly. The small live stream ball automatically adjusted the camera, panning and zooming out. It settled on the Yellow Springs Road entrance, some distance in front of Jiang Lin. The Yellow Springs Road was still the same road, but on one side of the entrance, a tree had appeared. The tree was lush, with a trunk at least four to five people wide. The leaves were tender and green, carrying a sense of new spring. Combined with the red ribbons tied between the branches, from a distance, it looked like strings of fiery red flowers had bloomed. It possessed a unique beauty.
Seeing this, the viewers exclaimed, "Ah, so this is the answer!"
Excluding the red ribbons, this tree was identical to the ones that had appeared in various locations today.
"It's actually an Underworld product! This style is very understated!"
"High EQ: understated. Low EQ: ordinary. Hahaha..."
"Liangjie Tree? What is it used for?"
"Starting to look forward to it (*❦w❦)."
...
"From today onwards, there will be a Liangjie Tree in the four regions of the mortal world and the Underworld," Jiang Lin explained slowly. "The function of the Liangjie Tree is to transmit information between the Yin and Yang realms. For example, the last wishes of the deceased to the living, or the lingering affection of the living for the deceased. As long as you tie what you want to say to the branches, it will be conveyed. However, whether it's information transmitted by a soul or by a living person to a soul, it must be within seven days of the deceased's passing. After the seventh day, it will not work."
"Once tied, if the transmission fails within three days, the red ribbon will disappear. If the transmission is successful, a red flower will bloom where the red ribbon was originally tied."
As Jiang Lin spoke, ghost messengers occasionally guided souls to the Yellow Springs Road. They would say to the sorrowful souls, "If you have anything left to say to the living, place your hand on the trunk of the tree and think of the person's name, appearance, and location."
The souls, looking bewildered, extended a hand and placed it on the trunk. They imagined the faces of their family members. In the next second, the trunk of the large tree before them suddenly lit up, emitting a gentle glow. Several lines of text appeared on the trunk.
