Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Lujia Village, located at the foot of Yunfeng Mountain, is an ancient village with a long history and rich cultural heritage.

This land, like a silent witness, has witnessed the vicissitudes of time and carried the dreams and hopes of countless people.

With their hard-working hands, the villagers are working hard to weave a better life on this land.

Thousands of years passed, and Lujia Village once reached its peak of prosperity, with a population of nearly 20,000. However, a demonic attack a thousand years ago nearly destroyed this vast village, leaving few survivors. Although it was rebuilt in later generations, its former glory is unlikely to be recaptured.

Xueyao, a woman temporarily staying in Lujia Village, is full of curiosity about this land. She is willing to listen to the whispers of stones, explore the traces of time, and try to uncover the secrets hidden in this ancient village.

After learning this from Mr. Lu, Xueyao's curiosity was successfully aroused, and she decided to visit Lujia Village at night.

As night fell, Xueyao quietly blended into the village's vast nightscape. In this quiet night, she began to explore the legends that had been passed down for thousands of years. She followed the ancient village roads, crossed the weathered stone bridges, and searched for stories forgotten by time, step by step.

Deep within the village, Xueyao discovered an ancient temple. Inside, enshrined was a pristine statue of the hero who, according to legend, had saved the village a thousand years ago. Xueyao prayed silently in the temple, hoping the hero would guide her and lead her to the lost legends.

As the night deepened, Xueyao heard a strange cry. She followed the sound to the edge of the village and found a white-haired old man sitting on a rock, crying.

Xue Yao went forward to ask, and the old man told her about the village’s former glory and sorrow.

He said that tomorrow was the day of sacrifice, and this time it was his grandson's turn.

Five hundred years ago, an old Taoist priest came to the village and claimed that he could predict the fortune of the entire village.

He said that the village would face a disaster that would not happen in a hundred years, and the entire village would be in danger of being destroyed.

The demonic attack in the past had already left an indelible shadow on the villagers. After hearing what he said, the villagers panicked.

Later, he said that he had a way, but there was a condition: the village would offer a pair of boys and girls every year, and he would ensure good weather and good harvests in the village.

At that time, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but there was no better solution. No one dared to refuse, and of course no one would agree.

When the old Taoist saw this, his face instantly fell. Suddenly, a strong wind blew over the entire village.

The villagers saw that they had no other choice but to agree.

Xueyao's heart rippled when she heard this. She looked at the old figure and felt a deep sense of sympathy. Tears quietly fell, and she resolutely decided to prevent this tragedy.

"Senior, I will go to the altar tomorrow and take this calamity on behalf of your grandson." Xue Yao's tone was firm, her eyes full of courage.

She was filled with rage, and she wanted to meet the old Taoist priest in person. She wanted to know what evil had befallen this man, this man so heartless and so reckless, so reckless about human life? What had made him so cold-blooded and merciless, treating other lives like worthless grass?

The old man's eyes widened, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him in surprise. "No, for hundreds of years, there have been people who have tried to switch children, but he has always seen through them."

The old man's voice trembled and tears streamed down his face.

Hundreds of years? Nearly a thousand boys and girls, once innocent and full of life, lost their lives due to the cruel actions of the Taoist priest, plunging their families into endless grief and even casting a shadow over the entire village.

If this is true, in Xueyao's view, the old Taoist is like a poisonous snake, lurking in the darkness, waiting for the opportunity to hurt innocent people.

She must expose the true face of Lao Dao and let the world know his crimes. She believes that only by exposing evil to the sun can it have nowhere to hide.

"That's fine. I have a way." Xue Yao smiled and whispered a few words in her ear.

The older man's eyes widened as he listened, "Girl, you..."

"Shh..." Xue Yao stretched out her index finger and made a gesture of silence.

The old man immediately covered his mouth with both hands and stopped talking.

Xue Yao smiled and shook her head, comforting her: "Don't worry, I have a way to save the village from this disaster."

The old man was skeptical, but said nothing more.

Xue Yao was about to leave, but after a few steps, she turned back and asked, "Senior, do you know which direction that old Taoist came from?"

"He lives in a large courtyard at the east end of the village. He asked the villagers to raise money to build that courtyard." The old man was stunned at first, then spoke softly.

Oh? This damn old Taoist priest is truly a venomous snake. He didn't even bother hiding in the darkness to pretend, but was so brazen as to hurt those innocent people.

That would save her trouble. She must uncover the true identity of the dead Taoist priest and let the whole village know his crimes.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, senior." After saying that, Xue Yao left quickly.

The aunt in front of him quickly disappeared, and the old man was shocked again, thinking, this time, could it be that there really is an expert coming to help?

After Xueyao said goodbye to the old man, she quickly blended into the night. She released her spiritual sense and sensed the entire village. Indeed, there was something strange at the east end of the village.

In the darkness of the night, Xue Yao suppressed her breath, hid her figure, and quietly flew to the east end of the village.

The courtyard stood before her, mysterious and enigmatic. She landed lightly outside the wall, ready to explore.

He flew up and over the courtyard wall. A Taoist temple came into view, filled with incense and a fairy-like atmosphere. In the center was a statue of a white-haired old Taoist priest with deep eyes that seemed to see into people's hearts.

I walked quietly around the statue and saw the old Taoist priest with his eyes closed, resting.

Xue Yao raised her slender hand and an ice-blue mist came out, making the old Taoist unable to move.

Then, she used the demon-binding rope and tied the old Taoist priest up like a dumpling. The moment she used it, she found that the power of the demon-binding rope seemed to be even stronger, and the binding speed was faster than ever before.

Suddenly, the old Taoist opened his eyes and stared at Xue Yao with a sharp gaze.

"What a bold woman! How dare you break into my Taoist temple!" The old Taoist said in a stern tone, his voice like a bell.

Xue Yao, however, was not afraid at all. She stepped forward and said righteously, "I am here for the villagers and I vow to eliminate this scourge of yours!"

After saying this, he raised his hand and a pill went into the Taoist's mouth.

"You, what did you give me to eat?" The old Taoist tried to break free from the rope, but to no avail. He then tried to shrink his body, but there was nothing he could do. He was already a little panicked.

"It's nothing, you will know tomorrow." Xue Yao said disdainfully.

He released his spiritual sense and swept the entire yard, destroying all the harmful things of the old Taoist. He made a hand gesture to make the old Taoist disappear, then turned around and left quietly.

It’s a long story, but it only takes a few breaths to finish all these things.

When we returned to where the old man was sitting, he was still in a daze.

"Senior, when you go to the altar tomorrow, you don't need to prepare any boys or girls. You won't need to prepare any boys or girls from now on."

The old man was shocked, "Girl, what did you say?"

Xueyao smiled and repeated what she had just said.

"Really?" The old man's eyes flashed with excitement. "Will it not anger that old Taoist?"

Humph, that so-called old Taoist priest is nothing but a beast who practices evil ways to harm people. However, she didn't say this to the old man, as she was afraid that it would be even more difficult to explain if she did.

"No, believe me, nothing will happen." Xue Yao comforted the old man with a smile, then turned and left.

In the night, her figure was like a shooting star, cutting through the darkness and bringing a glimmer of hope to the old man.

What the old man didn't know was that after Xue Yao turned around, her eyes dimmed and she snorted in her heart, "You damn Taoist priest, just wait for me."
