树里面是有妖精的，但是一万棵树里只有一只妖精，这妖精是树的魂，叫做木灵。人是分不出普通的树和有木灵的树的。
There are spirits reside within the trees, only one in ten thousand trees has a spirit. It is called Woodspirit. Human cannot tell weather a tree has a spirit or not.
木灵都是有脑子的，它们是树的记忆，木灵头大四肢细长，长得就像是人形的人参。它们从盘根错节的地下出生，一出生就有近乎永恒的生命。但是有很多方法可以置它们于死地，其中不少是人类无意中的独创，事实上现在木灵已经越来越少了。
Woodspirit has a brain, it is the memory of trees. Woodspirit has a big head and long slim limbs. They are born from the underground roots, and are born with a near-eternal life. But there are many things that can kill them, many of them are unintentionally create by humans. In fact, Woodspirit are less and less today.
当木灵死去时，森林的记忆也将会一起丧失，它们忘记了如何使用根喝水，如何使用叶子吸收阳光，慢慢的变黑变丑，最后饿死了。
When Woodspirit is dead, the memory of the forest is lost, they forget how to use their roots to absorb water, and forget how to absorb sunlight using their leave, so they gradually withered, and dead too.
木灵死去的地方叫做失魂地，这个地方如果没有诞生新的木灵，就无法再长树，只能长草。
The place where Woodspirits died is called soul-less area. If there is no new Woodspirit, this place will not grow trees anymore.
木灵是可以搬家的，它们搬家的时候需要两棵树的树根紧密地彼此缠绕在一起。木灵是一种半透明的流质，根系越多，它转移的速度就越快，但搬家依然是一个相对缓慢的过程，可能会花费几天时间。
Woodspirits can move. They need roots as the channel, Woodspirit is a semi-transparent flowing liquid. The more roots they have, the faster they can move. It might still take a few days to transfer from one tree to another.
有木灵居住的树，树汁会有特殊的香甜气息。因此一些昆虫和动物能分辨它。
The tree inhabited by Woodspirit will have sweeter tree sap, some insects and animals can identify that.
木灵是生命之灵，它可以治愈疾病。有的人在拥抱了大树之后，瘫痪的双腿得以行走，或者什么不治之症突然就痊愈了，其实对于木灵来说，吹口气就好了。不过木灵很敏感，如果拥抱着树的时候抱着“木灵木灵快治好我”这样的想法，它就会不开心，也不愿给人治病了。
Woodspirit is the spirit of life. It can cure diseases. After hugging a tree, paralysed people can walk again, and terminal disease get cured. For Woodspirits, these things are as easy as doing a huff. But they are sensitive to people’s heart, and will not cure people with impure intent. They used to be generous, but the changing environment make them offish.
木灵的诞生需要干净的地下水。
Woodspirits need clean underground water to born.
