Chapter 875: The Old Locust Tree

The closer you get to that house, the cooler it feels. He himself is immune to heat and cold, but that doesn't mean he can't feel the change in temperature. As for the others, it is even more unbearable, it is obviously summer, but it makes people feel like they want to put on a padded jacket immediately. It's not an illusion, it's a real change. It seems that this demon not only has some means, can defeat the monks who came to subdue the demon before, but also can affect the surrounding environment to a certain extent. But I don't know if the demon was too careless, and he didn't even set any traps, and let a group of people get closer, and nothing strange happened.

Aside from the temperature change, there's really nothing weird about it. If it weren't for the strangeness he had seen before, he really wouldn't have felt the monster here. Maybe this demon is so good at hiding his body that even he can't detect it. However, this is also related to the fact that he suppressed the divine thoughts, otherwise under the shroud of the immortal-level divine thoughts, he would always be able to find some clues. Rao is so powerful enough that it successfully piqued his interest. If he was just helpful before, then now he really wants to see what kind of demon can avoid his induction.

"Go knock!" Facing the strange mansion everywhere, he did not break down the door directly, but signaled the village chief to knock on the door. From the gate of this house, it can be seen that it is low-key and luxurious but unconventional, although there is no ostentatious government, but whether it is the material or the carving, it takes a lot of effort from the owner. It is carved with ingenious techniques to create a vivid scene of farming, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting. The pictures are ordinary, but they show the superb level of the carver, and they give people a lifelike feeling, as if those pictures are right in front of them. There is a stone wall built with bluestone around it, although there are some hollow places, but ordinary people want to see the scene inside, they have to use a ladder to climb.

I don't know how many years the old locust tree planted in the yard actually showed the feeling of covering the sky and the sun, and the spreading branches hung down, like a gorgeous umbrella cover, covering the entire house. Of course, this is just an illusion, this mansion occupies a huge area, and no matter how lush this locust tree is, it can only cover a corner. If it was usual, others would still think that the umbrella cover of the locust tree was cool, but at this time, they were stirred by the cold air around them, and people only felt chills in their hearts, and they became more and more gloomy. After being named by Zhang Daniu, those people were obviously startled. They thought that after seeing such a strange scene, he would either be nervous or scared, but they didn't expect to want to go in, which was really shocking.

Those people were all frightened by this increasingly strange scene, and when they heard his words, no one dared to step forward. However, the old village chief was still a little bold, so he shook off the support of those people, walked to the door tremblingly, stretched out his hand and gently knocked on it. Strange to say, it was obviously a very slight knock, but it was unusually clear in this strange environment. The sound travels through the cold air, and a vaguely audible echo can be heard. Even the old village chief was bold, but he was frightened by the echo at this time. He staggered back two steps, and almost fell to the ground, if it wasn't for Zhang Daniu to hold him, I am afraid that he would have fallen with a handful of old bones.

Without them waiting, the door opened silently. However, only a small gap was opened, and a small head poked out of it, a little girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and her little face was red from the cold. She looked at the familiar villagers outside, with some expectation in her eyes and some trepidation, and asked, "What are you going to do?" This is a private mansion, and unrelated people leave quickly. Mrs. Wang is unwell and can't meet guests for the time being, so let's talk about it later! ”

Seeing that she was about to close the door to see off the guests, Zhang Daniu hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to block the door to prevent her from closing it easily. He pointed to the villagers behind him, smiled and said to the little girl who was a little frightened: "I am a passerby, begging the village chief to take me in." The village chief was enthusiastic and promised to let me stay in the village for a while. However, the houses in the village are full, and I can only beg your master to take me in and let me stay here for a few days. I won't live in vain, and when I leave, I will definitely be grateful! ”

"No!" Hearing that he boldly came to spend the night, her little face turned red, but it was not a blushing face, but the feeling of excitement and enthusiasm. In her opinion, even a normal person can see that this is not a good place, he doesn't look like he is not clear-headed, why should he throw himself into the net? But she was kind, even if there was a threat from that thing, she still gritted her teeth and said: "Our yard is full of women, and it is inconvenient for you to be a man...... Also, there are so many courtyards in the village, you can find any one at random, so why bother here......"

Speaking of this, there was even a cry in her tone. was originally **** living under high pressure, which was already very unbearable for a child of her age. The thought of the treatment this man would suffer when he came in made her want to cry. Even with the threat of that thing, she still had to stop that tragedy from happening. But just as she was trying to think of a reason for refusal, a heavy palm suddenly covered her head, rubbed it gently, and then the owner of that hand said to her gently: "It's okay, I'm amazing!" ”

She looked up and looked at the man in front of her with teary eyes. I don't know if it's an illusion, she suddenly feels that this unattractive man is very reliable. With his words, it seems that she doesn't have to worry about being scared all day. Her hand holding the door inadvertently let go, allowing the man to push the door in. As for the villagers, they just looked at her sympathetically, and ran away. And the man who gave her infinite confidence was now walking towards the house in the front yard. She subconsciously wanted to remind him that trespassing was not allowed. But for some reason, she suddenly remembered his words. That's right, maybe he's a very powerful guy and doesn't have to be afraid of that thing at all. She quickly closed the door and followed him inside.

But in her somewhat surprised eyes, the man did not go to the house in the main hall, but walked straight into the courtyard. Stretched out his hand and pressed it on the locust tree, closed his eyes and said something in his mouth, as if he was communicating with the old locust tree. She also used to sit under the tree and wanted to talk to the old locust tree, but the old locust tree never responded to her. When she grows up, she learns that trees can't speak.
