Chapter 60: Hope (6) Coercion
Under the bright moonlight, the leaves of the ancient trees shone with brilliance, as if they were infinitely alive. But in my opinion, that's just a flashback.
Song Yunjing smiled slightly, let go of the hands on my shoulders at the right time, and said in a leisurely and comfortable tone: "Thank you for your advice, but I have my own ideas on this matter, so I won't bother you." ”
The ancient tree laughed, and the leaves shook off, and the wounds on the already cracked branches seemed to be getting deeper and deeper. But the tree didn't care at all, and still laughed to himself. After a while, Gu Shu smiled: "Since you don't plan to listen to my advice, let's leave quickly, it's been dark for so long, and I also need to rest." “
Song Yunjing raised his eyebrows, but he still smiled quietly: "Leave? I'm afraid it won't work, you know, we went to a lot of trouble to find you. ”
"Looking for me?" Gu Shu laughed again, as if he had heard a big joke: "What are you looking for me to do?" Could it be that you, a Taoist priest, want to take me? But you've also seen that it's impossible for me to do anything wrong now, so you should leave with confidence. ”
Song Yunjing shook his head: "In the future, you will definitely not do evil, but I don't know if there was before?" ”
Gu Shu seemed a little confused, thought for a moment, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Under the moonlight, Beiqi glanced at us, bowed to the ancient tree, and said, "We have only one purpose for this trip, just to know what happened in Ping'an Town decades ago?" None of the townspeople survived. ”
"Heh......" Gu Shu let out a soft snort and said coldly, "Why am I looking for me?" It turned out that he was looking for me to ask the teacher about the crime? ”
I looked around, found a large protruding rock, sat down, and pulled a dog's tail grass from the crack in the stone and grabbed it in my hand. I pretended not to care and said, "When you say this, you are admitting that the fatal accident in Ping'an Town is related to you?" ”
Gu Shu chuckled: "What does it matter if I admit it or not, anyway, you have already decided in your hearts that I am the culprit, no matter what I say, you will only think that this is my quibble to get rid of my guilt, and you will not believe me a word." ”
"Hmm......" Song Yunjing shook his head and waved his hand: "It seems that Mr. Gu Shu has a big misunderstanding of us, although I am a Taoist priest, I take it as my responsibility to subdue demons and eliminate demons. But I can ask myself, I have never wronged a person or a foreign race. So please explain, after all, we are just trying to get to the bottom of the matter. ”
Decades ago, all the residents of Ping'an Town lost their lives, which is not a trivial matter in my opinion, let alone Song Yunjing, who has a merciful heart. Moreover, I am also curious, what is the so-called curse of the old dryad?
Waiting is an abrasive process, especially after you have waited for a long time, the other party just sneered indifferently, thinking that he threw out a sentence "I have nothing to say, you can think as much as you like." "It's very infuriating.
The night wind blew and shook the weeds that were a man tall on the edge of the cliff. The sneer of the ancient tree and the slightest sound of the wind added Su Beiqi standing on the edge of the cliff, from my point of view, he seemed to be stepping on the air, and there was a feeling of fairy wind and bones. I couldn't help but pursed my mouth, and secretly slandered this cunning nine-tailed fox that was used to disguise. He raised his eyes to look at the ancient trees between the stone walls, and asked very calmly, "You are the only intact house in the town, right?" ”
Gu Shu's voice finally fluctuated, and he asked sharply, "Have you been to the Chen Mansion?" ”
Beiqi smiled lightly: "It turns out that the owner of that house is surnamed Chen?" We didn't see the door plaque when we went, and we thought that the house was your place to live after you turned into a human? ”
Gu Shu hurriedly spoke: "Have you ever touched the things in the house?" I warn you not to touch the house in the slightest, and if you do, you'd better go and put it in order for me at once. ”
A cold wind blew on the cliff, and a misty white mist drifted from nowhere, lingering on the edge of the cliff and refusing to disperse. In just a moment, the fog was so thick that it was impossible to see anything more than a dozen paces away. In my vague vision, I actually noticed that Song Yunjing tightened the sword in his hand, as if he would be able to respond as quickly as possible in the event of an accident.
I calmly looked at the edge of the cliff in front of the ancient tree, and a pale-faced man was hunched over his waist and clutching his chest in pain. It is undeniable that the appearance of the ancient tree is actually quite handsome and chic, and the solemn appearance when he speaks is somewhat similar to that of the Yue Emperor Yu Wenyao, but his current situation is not very optimistic, even Song Yunjing, who does not have much cultivation, can easily subdue him.
I don't know why the tree reacted so much when Beiqi mentioned the house, and even turned into a human form in desperation. But as long as there is a weakness, it is good, the opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, I can't let go of this opportunity in vain. I hooked the corners of my mouth and showed a kind and harmless smile: "It's not impossible for us to leave the house untouched, as long as you tell us what we want to know, we will promise you not to move the house." ”
The pale-faced man narrowed his eyes and looked at me with a sullen expression: "Little Jiaolong, are you blackmailing me?" ”
"It's not." I got up from the boulder, walked slowly in front of him with my hands on my shoulders, and said softly with the dog's tail grass in my arms: "It's not a threat, it's a deal at most." How about it, would you like to think about my words? ”
The man didn't laugh angrily, he grabbed the position of his chest and straightened up with difficulty, stared at me and said, "Little Jiaolong, don't get too carried away, you must know that I am a tree demon who has been practicing for more than a thousand years, even if my life is not long, it is not something you can threaten casually?" ”
I nodded heavily and agreed: "What you said makes sense, but I didn't get carried away, I have a clear understanding of the current situation, but you are too blind to some people." What if you are higher than me? You're dragged with an injury, can you still compete with the three of us? ”
The man's face became very gloomy, but the smile on my face remained the same. He suddenly seemed to remember something, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile on his chest, and he lowered his head close to my ear and whispered: "The person next to you is a Taoist priest, and you will eventually fall into the demon clan, and that person will sooner or later aim the sword in his hand at your heart." The nine-tailed fox beside you has a suspicious heart, and there must be an ulterior secret when approaching you, and I can see it in such a short time that we have just met, and you will not find anything when you walk with him. Today, the three of you are ready to work together to deal with me, and I don't know which **** two can join forces to deal with you. If you think about it, you're pathetic. ”
My smiling face became a little stiff unconsciously, and all the changes in expression did not escape his eyes, which was obviously expected by him, and he smiled and turned his head away, and said as if nothing had happened: "Since you want to know so much, what's the matter with telling you." ”
