Chapter 38: The Past

"Be careful, Earth Shield!" Shu Kui blurted out somehow, and after finishing speaking, he was also stunned and didn't understand what it meant.

These four words made the man stagnate, and also gave the big tree a chance to change his moves, I saw that he took the Yanling knife, and threw his other hand forward, and there was something like a thin rope, quietly piercing into the yellow air shield that had just formed in the man's hand.

The man was slightly surprised, and saw that the rope was going straight to his chest and abdomen, so he hurriedly dispersed his qi shield, and pulled it hard, tearing the rope alive.

"Oh, it's a mud player." The big tree fell to the ground, turning the Yanling knife in his hand into a pool of clear water, absorbing it all.

The man glanced at Shu Kui with a complicated expression.

Dashu thought that he was going to be unfavorable to Shu Kui again, so he hurriedly made a vertical leap and blocked in front of Shu Kui.

"Is it worth it for you to fight against me for the sake of a mortal?" The man frowned.

"What about you? For the sake of a mortal, is it worth it to condescend and do it with me? The big tree asked rhetorically, and Fu Shukui sat down with his back against the trunk.

As soon as these words came out, the man was speechless for a while.

"I'm getting more and more curious now, who the hell is she? How can you see through your tricks? "The matter has come to this point, Dashu is saying that he has to fight to the end, "She is just a mortal, she has no cultivation, and her soul is completely useless to you, what do you want her to do?" ”

After a pause, seeing that the man was still silent, he guessed again: "Could it be that there is any treasure in this mountain, and she is the key to finding it?" What is that treasure? Panacea? Gold and silver jewelry? Or is it the crown of King Yulan? ”

In the end, the teasing in the words was about to come out.

The man was extremely displeased, pulled out a stick more than two meters long from the back of his neck, shrouded in black mist, held it with both hands, and stabbed it towards the tree.

The tree jumped into the air and dodged, throwing out a handful of leaves.

The leaves seemed weightless, but they were straight, castrated fast and violent, like darts.

The man sneered, and the stick turned sharply and danced into a black barrier.

The leaves of the trees withered quickly the moment they touched the barrier, and a breeze blew them apart, and they could no longer pose any threat.

The big tree had expected this, and as soon as the leaves came out, he tore off the vines and whipped them to the ground.

Suddenly, a huge crack opened in the ground, and it went towards the man's feet at an extremely fast speed.

The man did not dodge, dodge, or panic, but only thrust the stick in front of him, which immediately prevented the gap from continuing to extend.

The big tree was still unsurprised, and the vines in his hands moved like swimming snakes, growing spikes as they rushed towards the man.

At this point, the man became a little impatient, turned his free hand into a knife, cut off the vine at the waist, lifted the stick, and swept it towards the calf of the tree.

The big tree jumped up to avoid it, but he didn't want to, and the man's second move had followed.

I only heard a loud "boom", and the boulder that appeared out of thin air from the top of the tree fell to the ground, smashing out a deep pit, but fortunately the big tree reacted quickly enough, so it was not smashed into a meat pie on the spot, but only scratched a little skin.

The man didn't give the opponent a chance to breathe at all, and made one move after another, forcing the big tree to withdraw from the distance, and then used a shape-shifting technique, and instantly came to Shu Kui's side, grabbed her and wanted to leave.

The big tree was in a hurry, and hurriedly urged the weeds to grow wildly, and jumped to the height of the two of them, and surrounded the men in groups.

The man was repeatedly hindered, but he was getting hotter and hotter, and he didn't say much, still wielding his palm knife and slashing hard.

But this time, he could only break the blades of the grass, and the nearly one-man tall grass stem, the closer it was to the roots, the harder it became, and no matter how he cut it, it only left a shallow trace.

"As I said, this is the territory of Liujinzhai." The big tree approached, "You shouldn't know it, because of the amnesty of the great god Nuwa, whoever comes in will always be deducted half of the mana by the outer barrier." ”

"So what? Even with half of your mana, I can beat you to pieces. The man's face was cold, and the killing intent in his eyes became stronger and stronger, "If you know each other, let me take her away, how much you want, you make a price, otherwise, don't blame me for not saving you Jinzhai face." ”

"As long as it is a Jinzhai stay, even if it is a mortal, it is priceless." Dashu's face was also covered with a layer of frost, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in your business." ”

The man gritted his teeth and said the word "good", threw Shu Kui away, and swept the stick in his hand across the grass stem.

In an instant, like cutting tofu, the grass stems broke in unison.

The man and the two of them just now, their expressions were gloomy, and there was a faint black aura between their eyebrows.

His feet slammed on the ground, flew into the air, and with a flick of his hand, the stick shot out like an arrow, whistling through the shoulder blades of the tree, which had no time to dodge, dragging him backwards for some distance, and then nailed firmly to the trunk of the tree.

Shu Kui, who looked at this qiē, couldn't help but exclaim.

The man fell to the ground, walked to the big tree step by step, and stared straight into his eyes: "I wanted to be happy and leave you a whole corpse, but you have been repeated, and you have not forgiving, but you want to toast and not eat and drink, then I will fulfill you, say, where do you want me to start first?" Features or limbs? ”

The big tree didn't answer, his face was pale, but he didn't think so.

This indifferent look provoked the man's anger: "Isn't it painful enough?" ”

As he spoke, he pinched the shoulders of the tree fiercely.

The tree snorted and smiled slightly.

The man became more and more hateful, grabbed the stick that was exposed, and slowly twisted it half a circle.

Cold sweat began to break out on the big tree's forehead, but he still didn't say a word.

When the man saw him like this, and knew that he was not afraid of pain, he put his hand on the stick and muttered something.

Shu Kui listened to this whisper, and his heart tightened for no reason, wanting to remind the big tree, but he didn't know what to say.

And at this moment, the big tree has wide open eyes and a dull expression.

In his eyes, the surroundings had been turned upside down, no longer a lush jungle, but a babbling stream, and a field across the stream.

The creek is next to a village where he lived in his childhood.

When he was stunned and at a loss, he suddenly felt a pain in his head.

"Youkai, kill him, kill youkai!" Behind him, a group of children, mostly in small coats and shorts, barefoot, were picking up rocks and clods on the ground and throwing them.

Dashu didn't want to meet the child, so he turned around and planned to leave, but inadvertently, he found that he was naked, wearing only a pair of shorts full of patches, and his hands and feet were much smaller.

He was not in a good mood and hurried to the stream.

probe, an ugly little face appeared on the surface of the water - this is clearly my childhood self.

He was startled and stepped back.

The children followed, and for a moment, stones and clods of earth kept falling on him and on his head.

He didn't feel any pain, because he had been used to it day after day, and he had long been accustomed to it.

"Hey, come back soon, I'm going to fight the monster mother!" A child stood at the entrance of the village and shouted.

The children besieging the tree immediately dispersed and ran to the village.

The big tree looked up at the sky, the sky was cloudless, and the sun was shining.

He knew what was going to happen next - it had been buried in the deepest part of his memory, and he had never forgotten it, and he never wanted to mention it again.

The sound of gongs and drums rang out in the village, and the smell of burning incense was in the air.

The big tree was running as fast as ever to his thatched hut.

When she got there, her mother was standing in the open space in front of the door, and she was tied up with flowers, and the strong man behind her raised the wooden stick in his hand and touched her knee.

The mother knelt down, not crying, not screaming, and not begging for mercy.

"Don't hit my mother!" The tree shouted.

"You go away and go inside." The mother's tone was firm.

"Don't hit my mother!" The big tree didn't listen, opened his hands in front of his mother, and glared angrily at the strong man.

The strong man obviously didn't like his eyes, and raised his hand to give him a violent shudder.

"Don't touch him, we said okay." The mother was anxious, afraid that her son would be hurt again.

The strong man glared at her, stretched out his foot and kicked the tree aside, and slapped him with a stick by the way.

"Grandpa Cai." The mother turned to look at the old man standing next to her.

The old man immediately stopped the strong man and said to his mother, "Qin'er, are you really willing?" ”

Mother nodded: "I just ask Grandpa Cai to take in the big tree until his father comes." ”

"Who the hell is his father? Is it a wild fox or a yellow immortal? The old man had asked this question many times.

The mother shook her head and did not answer, but said, "When it comes, you will know." ”

"How long will it take?" The old man asked again.

The mother still shook her head: "I don't know, but he said that before the big tree becomes an adult, he will definitely come." ”

"Before adulthood?" The old man frowned, "The big tree is only eight years old, and in another ten years, I don't know if I will live until then." ”

The mother smiled slightly: "You are a half-immortal, don't say ten years, that is, twenty, thirty, fifty years, it is not a problem." ”

The old man sighed indistinctly, turned around, faced the villagers, and said loudly: "Listen, everyone, Qin'er voluntarily sacrificed herself to the Dragon King of Yuanhu Lake, in order to bring down Ganlin, from today on, her sins will be written off, and the big tree will enter my Cai family, and she will not be bullied and humiliated again." ”

The villagers were silent, and the crowd was unusually quiet.

The mother knew that the old man was highly respected in the village, and no one dared not listen to what he said, and the Cai family also had a big business, and with his protection, the son could suffer less in the future and live a worry-free life.

"Don't, don't use my mother to sacrifice the Dragon King!" But the tree refused, and threw himself on his mother, bursting into tears.

"Big tree, listen to Grandpa Cai's words well, eat well, sleep well, wait for Dad to come, and go to the best place in the world with him." The mother also cried.

"I don't want it, I want to be with my mother......" Dashu is still a child after all, and he can't cry anymore.

The strong man looked impatient when he saw the mother and son crying together, grinned, and looked at the old man.

The old man was ruthless: "Let's go, the time has come." ”
