Legend of Shangxian

Chapter 24 The Tree Spirit...

On the way back, Jiang Fan accidentally saved someone, Niu Yiming.Although Niu Yiming was fully dressed, he was still almost scorched by the sun.If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a piece of charred dead wood.He was sluggish, his eyes were half-closed, as if he was extremely tired, but in fact he was suffering on the verge of life and death.

Jiang Fan stood in front of him out of kindness.

When Niu Yiming was stuffed into Jiang Fan's arms again, he whispered to Jiang Fan, "Jiang Tudi, you are a good person, but the beads on your body are not good things."

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Jiang Hao, only to see him falling behind him not too far away, and only let out a soft oh. "You travel alone during the day, do you want to find healing herbs for your sister?"

Hey, Niu Yiming, he first fell in love with Jiang Fan's Bai Xiao Dan. Based on his understanding of Jiang Fan, if he could, he would do his best to help. Their siblings are all like this, Jiang Fan It must be embarrassing to not take it out, so I want to use some tricks, even if there is only one left, I want to ask him to give it to me.But now, the words for help can't be said for a while.

What Niu Yiming said made Jiang Fan's heart tremble. Ever since he had that thing in his mouth, he was always beaten for no reason. Jiang Hao looked at him very differently than usual, and he didn't even know that he had eaten something dirty.There will be a moment of confusion when holding the bead, but the powerful feeling of instant fullness is so tempting.

Jiang Fan used to have unrealistic fantasies about becoming an immortal, constantly increasing and modifying to climb up step by step, but since he got a soul, he knew that he would never have the cultivation level for promotion, so he became much more disheartened.Sometimes I think about it, with my own qualifications, it is really rare to be able to preserve the land position, and it is a miracle that I am still guarding Luoyang City.

He had accepted his fate with all his heart, but the moment he discovered that there were Sanskrit characters on the Lingzhu, he revived again.Sure enough, greed hurts people.

Jiang Fan turned around and said to Jiang Hao: "You go back first, I'll go get the fish. Scholarly family" A few arowanas were strung with straw ropes around the gills of the fish, hung on the branches, and the scales on their bodies were swaying. With colorful brilliance.

Jiang Fan remembered that Jiang Hao liked to eat fish when he was young, but unfortunately he couldn't afford it, so Ruyi bought the fish head and stewed it.At that time they were approaching, and I saw Ruyi wearing an apron and lighting up the fire, busily busy, while Jiang Hao stood aside and stared at the pot eagerly.It's funny to think about it, it's been hundreds of years, it seems like it was yesterday, Jiang Fan was still young at that time, always bewitched by the smell of fish next door.

Jiang Fan couldn't help sighing, he is really old, and he always likes to think about the past recently, is the end coming soon?

As for the bead, after much deliberation, Jiang Fan realized that he really couldn't keep it anymore. He took out the spirit bead from his bosom and looked at it carefully. It is also good to play with in the hand.Finally sighed, and threw it into the water with a snap.

Niu Yiming's divine thread moved with him, almost leaping out for a moment, retrieved the bead and stuffed it into his mouth.

If he had that, he would no longer be the most despised evil ghost, and he would not be a resentful soul who even had to worry about sunlight.

It's just that no matter how strong he is, he will be exhausted even if he wants to, and he can't move at all.

The scene of Jiang Fan's transformation really scared him, but it doesn't matter if he is the one who went crazy.This world is where the weak eat the strong, and if you don't eat everyone, you will eat you. If you take one wrong step in your cultivation for hundreds of years, all your previous achievements will be wasted.The way of cultivating immortals is as lonely as a servant, and although the way of depraved demons is looked down upon by others, they are kings every day.Niu Yiming has suffered too much, and his eagerness to turn over does not depend on whether he has become a demon or not.

Jiang Fan stared at the Lingzhu hovering in the water, and after a long silence, he stepped on the water and took it back. "If you throw it away like this, if it is eaten by some fish, it will also become a disaster."

Niu Yiming suddenly laughed. Although it was a pity to miss the opportunity, it was the best.Put things in Jiang Fan's place, so they won't cause misfortune.Whether the character is clear or not, only this one can tell.If he were Jiang Fan, he would never have the courage to guard such a big treasure and throw it out.

Niu Yiming pretended to be weak in the human world and became a scoundrel in the ghost world. He struggled hard to survive.So at first sight of such an ignorant and incompetent god like Jiang Fan, he was very resentful, but this person has a good life, knows no suffering, and occupies the immortal position for nothing.

The trash like Jiang Fan made him look down on him, and he exuded an aura of incompetence and uselessness all over his body.But thinking about it now, only people like Jiang Fan can be called immortals.Even if Niu Yiming practiced for another 100 years, he still wouldn't be able to enlighten to this level.Can't let it go, can't bear it, grievances are hard to dispel, Taoism is limited after all.

Through layers of clothes, Niu Yiming couldn't see Jiang Fan's expression. After thinking for a while, he finally became kind to the honest man, and told Jiang Fan what happened the night before and last night.

Jiang Hao didn't leave, and had been waiting for him by the side of the road. The moment he saw Jiang Hao, Jiang Fan's mind jumped inexplicably, and the man was standing among the greenery.The surrounding white air is transpiring, which makes the fairy orchid grass next to it look more and more superb.Xiao Xiaoshan looks mysterious and unpredictable because of his promise and immortality. The hair draped over his shoulders and his bloodless face are really beautiful, like an exiled immortal who has fallen into the mortal world.

It is difficult to express the feeling from the breath of ghosts to today's achievements.It's one thing for my brother-in-law to look down on him, but Jiang Fan is still proud of Jiang Hao in private.

Jiang Fan also saw the image that Jiang Hao peeped from the Fahua mirror back then. To them at that time, it was like an illusory ideal, and they almost couldn't believe that what they saw was real.But now that Jiang Hao is climbing step by step, and has been working hard for hundreds of years, Jiang Fan seems to be able to foresee that Jiang Hao is getting closer to that position, and he will definitely become a god, it is only a matter of time.The way Jiang Fan looked at Jiang Hao was so relieved, like a good son and daughter raised by himself.

Inhaling and exhaling, Jiang Fan only had Jiang Hao in his eyes, and he had a good look for a long time.Gradually approaching, I looked at the reflections of the two from the corner of my eye. The two shadows were so close to each other among the whirling leaves that they almost overlapped.After a long time, Jiang Fan put his hands in his sleeves and finally looked away.Jiang Hao, what should I do?

Jiang Fan stood outside the grass nest, one inside, one outside, one bright and one dark. Jiang Fan carefully looked at the hazy figure inside, and dared not stand up straight for a long time. The figure inside was vague and did not move forward. , close to the green radish plant, sniffed the bottom of the nose, and there was a kind of fragrance: お稥 "Miss Niu, I heard that you were injured?" Putting it in the grass nest, Jiang Fan pushed it in again with his fingertips.

Qinghun saw that the white jade-like fingertips moved inch by inch against the grass seat cushion, and felt it was very dazzling, and the single palm was formed into a fist. Jiang Fan's transformation yesterday made her shudder, although he is now gentle and refined, it is uncertain When did the eyes look fierce again.Qinghun stared at Jiangfan's finger outside the vine with burning eyes, and saw that the man folded his hands, "I just found a few arowanas. Let's drink fish soup tonight. I heard that this fish has spirituality and is very nourishing."

Qing Hun paused in a daze, the legendary dragon fish, he caught it right away?It seemed that it was just an ordinary loach.

Jiang Fan only remembered that she scared him last night, but he didn't remember that he hurt her, so he felt even more guilty.There is only one Baixiaodan left and right, Jiang Hao's current situation, Niu Yiming's appearance, Qinghun is injured, it is difficult to choose whether to give it to their siblings or leave it to Jiang Hao. Baixiaodan sent out.

"Eat fish tonight, cook dragon fish soup, fish soup and porridge, your favorite."

Jiang Hao's expression froze. Although Jiang Fan still looked pretty, there was a hint of resentment between his brows, "When did I like it?"

Jiang Fan opened his mouth slightly in surprise: "What? You don't like it?" That's right, Jiang Hao is no longer the poor boy who guards the stove and stares at the food in the pot. Si Tongpan, what rare delicacies have you never seen before?Baba's few arowanas are just like presenting treasures, so I'm afraid they don't like it.

Jiang Hao looked at the pot from the corner of his eyes, "There are only a few of them, not enough to make soup, where is there fish soup for porridge?"

"..." Jiang Fan frequently looked at the grass nest.

"You don't necessarily appreciate it, do you? I've invited her three times. I almost killed her yesterday, and I'm here to please you again today. It's cheap enough."

Jiang Hao's inexplicable bad temper, Jiang Fan didn't know where it came from, and had nothing to say, so he stewed fish soup for Jiang Hao with the utmost care, then moved it to his mouth and blew gently, and then fed him mouthful.Carefully picked the fish bones and mixed them into the porridge to make a soup. Jiang Fan had an injury on his finger, which made it very inconvenient to move around. Jiang Hao didn't help, just waited quietly and then opened his mouth. "I have distracting thoughts."

Jiang Fan just glanced at him, and didn't ask Jiang Hao why he became obsessed, "Do you remember?..."

Jiang Hao raised his eyes, "Remember what?"

Jiang Fan smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, when you practice again, I won't leave you."

Jiang Hao smiled, "Okay."

Jiang Fan felt that Jiang Hao must not remember the past.In the previous life, Jiang Fan often took Jiang Hao to roast corn. The two teenagers gathered around a bonfire. Jiang Fan grilled sweet potatoes and wrapped rice with a stick. Barley Hao ate one barley, eight plants in a row, and then the two stepped on the fire and quietly sneaked back to the Taoist temple.Just like a hen feeding its young, Jiang Fan felt very happy as long as he watched Jiang Hao eat.

"Is there only one Baixiaodan left?" Jiang Fan was slightly startled, and nodded in acquiescence.

Jiang Hao issued an account, "Give it to her. Enemies are easy to solve and difficult to make. Qinghun, a weak female, is not easy to survive in another world. I don't need it yet."

Jiang Fan raised his eyes to look at Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao didn't say he was stingy, but knew without asking, that Jiang Fan kept Bai Xiao Dan just in case.This kind of mind-to-heart connection has happened before. Jiang Fan was silent and silently grilled rice.

After drinking the fish soup, Jiang Hao took Jiang Fan to apologize.The Qinghun siblings sat together, and when Qinghun saw Jiang Fan, he turned his back to face the wall and fell asleep.

"Miss Niu, the gods and ghosts are one family, we are all our own people, so I hope you will be happy." Jiang Fan bowed to the grass nest.

Qinghun sat up and sneered at him, "Who is a family with you? We can't compare ourselves to this relative."

"I heard that I accidentally injured you yesterday."

"Sure enough, the nobleman forgets things a lot. Have you ever hurt me? Have you forgotten?"

Jiang Fan smiled flatteringly, but was grabbed by the handle again. As soon as the two interacted, they blushed with embarrassment for a moment.I had to be low-key and said countless flattering words.A fairy stood outside to please a ghost. Although Jiang Hao agreed, he couldn't help squinting over. Jiang Fan has always been so gentle with women.

Qinghun also looked Jiang Fan up and down, this fairy is really different from the other ones.

"Miss Niu, I have something to ask you." Jiang Hao said.

Qinghun immediately sternly said, "Mr. Tongju, I was worshiped by the little girl. The land grandfather has a generous personality. The little girl went wild for a while. You two adults don't remember the villain's fault. I heard Xiaoming talk about Yuping Peak. Thank you two gods for being considerate to our siblings, if you have any questions, feel free to ask your benefactor."

Jiang Hao and Jiang Fan looked at each other, and Jiang Hao said, "To be honest, my brother is innocent and kind-hearted. After getting this bead, his temperament has changed drastically, making it hard to figure out. Does Miss Niu know the origin of the spirit bead?"

Behind the vines, the female ghost replied with a hesitant expression: "Scholarly Family" "If you ask others about this, maybe they don't know, but I really know the inside story. It's just that this is not the place to talk. Although the tree demon's spiritual power is weak now, he has a lot of connections." , maybe you can hear it."

"It's okay." Although Jiang Hao was surprised where a hundred-year-old tree demon came from with such abilities, he still drew a barrier to cover the four of them.

The female ghost shook her head, "This is not his skill."

Qinghun bit his lip and recalled.

That year:

At that time, Qinghun wanted to keep the agreement and go straight to Pei County, but he became more and more suspicious as he walked, and finally he couldn't rest assured. He went back to see his younger brother. Kudong, and found that his younger brother died in a terrible state.

Qing Hun knelt by the pit and wept unceasingly, with red tears all over her face, without her younger brother, where would she have any hope?Desperate for tears, he untied his belt and tied it to the branch of an old tree, and committed suicide.

That tree is a thousand years old, and it has already become a spirit. After Qinghun died, she was thinking of her younger brother. Qinghun is a person without blessings and sins. After death, she can not be reborn. She stays here and is usually taken care of by the old tree spirit." He took pity on me as a lonely woman, helpless, and treated me like his own son and daughter. His old man, Fuyin, said that I was dying and my siblings were suffering. He promised me to help me find Xiaoming. Fengyun."

"The dryad you see now was originally a vine attached to an old tree. After a long time, the root was as thick as the mouth of a bowl. The old dryad has good roots and is magnanimous. He is the master of this side. Back then Since I tacitly allowed him to stay here, I never thought of driving him away. I never thought that after a hundred years of cultivation, the vine spirit would quietly penetrate into the roots of the old tree spirit and suck its essence and blood."

"When I came, the vine spirit had already become a force, and the old tree spirit was just at the end of its strength. I wanted to remind you that if you tried one or two times, you would be retaliated. In fact, the old man knew it too, but at this moment, he couldn't chase away that monster anymore. Before the death, he made a vicious curse to attach to the inner alchemy, even if the vine spirit took it away, it would be harmful and useless. No one thought that the newly appointed owner of the Bishuitan next door would take the lingzhu away at this time, and the tree The demon was furious and slaughtered the creatures under the tree to vent his anger, because I was a ghost, so he caught him and burned incense for him every day, knocked on the door, raised the bell, and foraged for food, and occasionally punched and kicked him when he was dissatisfied."

Niu Yiming patted his sister's back to comfort, Qinghun remembered the past and hugged his younger brother and cried again, Jiang Fan quietly handed over a square handkerchief and put it on the straw mat, Qinghun sobbed and wiped his tears with it.

"The master of the pool has gradually become enchanted since he obtained the spirit orb, and it must be the nine people of the solar eclipse."

Jiang Hao frowned, "How can I get rid of the curse?"

Qinghun rolled his eyes, "Only to avenge the old tree spirit, his wish will be fulfilled, and the curse will disappear."

Jiang Hao remained silent, and Qinghun immediately said hurriedly, "The Lingzhu is a good thing for cultivation, and it has only been refined for thousands of years. It would be a pity if it was destroyed." Seeing Jiang Hao looking at her, Qinghun immediately looked away , the head of the toad hangs slightly.She was selfish, and tried to get close to the vine spirit several times, but was almost seen through.She really doesn't have the ability to avenge the old tree spirit by herself, she needs to borrow Jiang Hao's power.

Therefore, when Teng Jing asked her to test Jiang Hao, she knew that Jiang Hao had internal injuries and never took the risk of attacking. Instead, she exaggerated and made Teng Jing mistakenly think that Jiang Hao was fine.

"Jiang Tongsan," Qing Hun knelt on the straw mat, put his hands under his forehead and gave a big gift, "cut off the evildoers, and hope that Tongsan will enforce the law fairly."

Jiang Fan hurriedly looked at Jiang Hao, quite worried. If Jiang Hao's previous condition was fine, now he is at the point where he is in a state of madness. Even if he will be convicted after returning, Jiang Fan still wants Jiang Hao to go back. King Qin Guang is here, so he must be well protected.

Jiang Hao raised his hand and patted the back of Jiang Fan's hand, signaling him to be calm and calm down. "Don't worry, Miss Niu. Since I am a judge, I will definitely not keep this evildoer. It's just that this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and there is no rush."

Qinghun paused again and again, not daring to raise his head. Looking from above, he was trembling slightly, grasping the turf on the ground with his ten fingers, "Master Tongju has learned that the evildoer is seriously injured at this time. If you don't accept him, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will become a bad thing in the future. Big trouble." Qinghun's back trembled, as if determined to be full of courage, he straightened up and looked up at Jiang Hao, pleading endlessly.

"Uh~" Jiang Hao pondered, Jiang Fan couldn't bear it any longer, and whispered to Jiang Hao, "Actually, if you want to unbreak the Lingzhu and have a solution, there is a way, you can go to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and ask him to transcend it. Besides, there are many monsters here, and there are many ghosts who attacked last night. They can't be solved by anyone alone. If you want to go back, please send troops to encircle and suppress the monsters. Jiang Tongjuan should take advantage of this time to heal his wounds , Moreover, you and I decided to go out temporarily, and there is no news from home, so you must reassure your sister."

While talking, Jiang Fan glanced at Jiang Hao, complaining that he was playing a hero for the injuries all over his body and still wanted to fight, and complaining that Qinghun didn't know how to advance and retreat and insisted on forcing their brothers to fight.

The voice was not loud, and the Qinghun siblings could hear it clearly.

Jiang Fan's remarks were of course reasonable, Qinghun was very nervous, and this opportunity must not be missed, if they left, they might not know when they would come back.Please tell me how easy it is to move troops, the master of Bishuitan hasn’t been punished for so long. It can be seen that there is a backer. Teng Jing has been doing evil for many years. When the tree spirit disappeared, there was a trace of aura flying to the southeast, which should be its original form. If its bones are found, there may be a way to crack it."

Jiang Fan and Jiang Hao looked at each other, and Qinghun said, "What's more, Jiang Fan has been invaded by monsters, and there is still poison left on his body. I have seen tree spirits use bones to cleanse others before." See you, but we must keep them, Jiang Hao silently nodded, "Then Miss Lao will go find it with us. If there is a complaint from the sufferer himself, I can explain it in front of the emperor." Qinghun was very happy. commitment.

Jiang Hao closed the enchantment, "Miss Niu, let's rest earlier too!"

Niu Yiming asked her sister privately, "In the vast sea of ​​trees, how can I find the old dryad? Is there any clue to follow? For example, how many feet does it grow in the soil or on a tree? Is it by the river or in the abyss?" ?”

Qinghun shook his head, "The situation was very chaotic at that time. The tree spirit and the vine demon were fighting to the death, their lives were hanging by a thread, and the master of the clear water pond was waiting for the opportunity, and thousands of elves under the tree fled. It seemed to happen all at once. Tuan Qingqi came in this direction, but he didn't pay attention at the time, after thinking about it, he guessed it should be the old tree spirit."

"Sister!" Niu Yiming couldn't help feeling anxious, "You deceived them? Deceived the gods, especially Ming Sitong, you, you, you don't want to live anymore?" Speaking of the last word, Niu Yiming suppressed his voice in his throat, stealing He looked at Jiang Fan and Jiang Hao's place.

Qing Hun frowned, "That tree is a thousand-year-old spirit, even if it is at the end of the crossbow, how could it disperse without a trace? And the mind of the vine demon, even a low-level ghost like me can clearly see it, how could he not do it?" Preparations? Nine out of ten chances are to get out of your soul and seek a chance."

"So, what about his appearance? Is it still the same as before?"

"Cough~" Qing Hun sighed, "In order to escape, it scattered the original soul and gathered its forms with a breath of true energy. The world is vast, and every plant, tree, stone, and valley may be a container for it. How can there be traces? Changed his appearance, I'm afraid he doesn't even know who he is."

"Then, do you still recognize it?"

Qinghun thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I'm not sure, I just guess by intuition. I should remember the aura on his body, maybe maybe not. It can only depend on its fate. If you miss this opportunity , I don’t know when I can take revenge.”

Niu Yiming opened his mouth wide in surprise, and yelled in Jiang Fan's direction for a long time, "Won't that delay them."

Qinghun raised his finger and said "shh~" between his lips

The next day, before dawn, a group of four set out on the road.
