In 2022, Nameng County, Caiyun Province.

It was already dark, and in a barren mountain on the west side of the county, a figure was running desperately in the woods, followed by seven or eight men with knives and clubs.

"Fang Huai, you are a backbone, the boss treats you well, you actually betrayed him and called the police privately, I don't think you want to live anymore."

Fang Huai moved forward quickly, constantly dodging the branch barbs, and when he heard the words, he turned around and spat out: "Phew, he also said that he was a righteous and heroic brother, it turned out that he wanted to make labor and management commit crimes, rub, and the most hated thing in this life is drug dealers." ”

"Hmph, since you don't know whether you live or die, then it's no wonder that we are."

"Catch up with me, haha" Fang Huai said proudly, but as soon as he turned his head, a towering tree in front of him that had survived for an unknown number of years came into view, and after running a few more steps, a cliff appeared in front of him: "This ......"

The people chasing behind also saw the cliff, and laughed wildly one by one: "Haha, Fang Huai, it seems that today is really going to kill you." ”

With a creak, Fang Huai's feet brought out a long shoe print, stopped at the edge of the cliff in time, glanced at the vague and bottomless cliff, and sighed in his heart: he has never done anything bad since he was a child, and he has done some good things, but in this way, he still can't escape death, is it really good people have no good reward, and bad people live for thousands of years?

Looking at the crowd chasing closer and closer, Fang Huai felt a little regretful in his heart: "The only person I am ashamed of in this life is my parents, in the past 20 years, not only have I not let them live a good life, but now I want them to send white-haired people to black-haired people, this is ......"

"Ah!!h Fang Huai couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and slammed his fist on a big tree beside him, and in an instant, the blood that overflowed from his right hand fell into the body of the tree.

"Haha, Fang Huai, your death date has come, but you still have something to say"

Fang Huai was sighing to himself with anger, suddenly heard the sound of ridicule, looked up and saw that the person behind him had already arrived, and smiled disdainfully: "My Fang Huai is worthy of heaven and earth in my life, how can I die in a few of you." ”

I wanted to jump off the cliff when I turned around, but suddenly between turning my head, my eyes were stunned, and the arrogant tree in front of me was a locust tree, perhaps it had lived in the mountains for a long time, forming its extremely peculiar appearance, with a tall and twisted trunk, sparse and scattered branches, and leaves like snow, like a group of fossils from ancient times. On the dark blue night, its dark silhouette looks mysterious.

"The wood meets the ghost for Huai, and my name also has a Huai character, it seems that today is really a disaster." Stretched out his hand and gently stroked the big tree in front of him: "That's it, since you and I are destined today, I will entrust these 100 catties of meat to you." ”

After saying that, Fang Huai took a few steps back, turned his head and said coldly: "A few juniors, they still want to kill me, hmph, how can I give you a chance today." ”

Bending over, lifting his breath and accumulating strength, Fang Huai turned his head sharply and crashed towards the locust tree.

"Bang"

After a loud bang, Fang Huai was dizzy, and for a while, the blood on his forehead flowed, and when the blood slowly seeped into the locust tree, Fang Huai finally fell.

"This?" The pursuers looked at each other, looking a little overwhelmed.

In the middle of the sound, the leader snorted coldly: "Hmph, I think that if you hit the tree and pretend to be dead, you can escape this catastrophe, brothers, go forward and slash and kill, and then drop off the cliff, you must not leave a trace of aftermath." ”

If you want to say that the most ruthless is these outlaws, several people were about to step forward with knives and sticks, but at the same time, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes. I saw that Fang Huai, who was unconscious under the tree, gradually blurred, and then turned into a puff of black smoke, hovering a few times in mid-air, and burrowed into the tall locust tree next to him.

"Big... Big brother, I'm ...... We are... Hell yes? ”

One of the men with a machete in his hand turned pale with fright and trembled when he saw such a strange sight, and he could not speak very neatly. And when the few people next to him heard the words, they couldn't help but tremble all over their bodies, and the scene in front of them was beyond ordinary people's cognition.

The leader was also a little panicked, although he and the others also had human lives in their hands, but now this is not something that can be measured with courage at all, he calmed his mind, turned his head and said: "Since that Fang Huai has died, I will wait for this to go back to his life, and leave quickly." ”

"Okay" A few people nodded in agreement, turned around and ran, and swore in their hearts: This ghost place, they will not come again if they are killed in the future.

But just as they turned around, the locust tree suddenly emitted a black aura out of nowhere, like an invisible big hand, grabbing at several people.

"Help!!"

"Save me!!"

For a while, countless miserable cries resounded throughout the barren mountain, as if someone had strangled their necks, gradually, the sound became smaller and smaller, and when the last sound disappeared into the sky, colorful lights floated out from the heads of several people, and then circled around the sky and flew into the locust tree, leaving only people with blank eyes on the ground.

I don't know how many hours passed, Fang Huai gradually woke up. I saw that it was dark all around, and I was weak.

"Where is this? Could it be Yin Si Huangquan? Fang Huai wanted to look everywhere in his mind, but found that he couldn't move all over, as if he was trapped by something.

Fang Huai was shocked and shouted, "Where is this?" Anyone? ”

After calling for a while, but no one answered him, Fang Huai raised his head and looked at the endless darkness: "Could it be that I am going to be trapped here for the rest of my life?" Heavens, what did I do wrong, I couldn't even be reincarnated after death. ”

"I have been in this world for thousands of years, and I didn't expect you to crash and die on me today, which can be regarded as having a fate with me. Originally, I had five years to turn into a human form and fly away, but I didn't expect this cause and effect to happen today, alas......"

Just when Fang Huai no longer had any thoughts of life, he was about to be trapped in the dark like this, until he had a mental breakdown, but suddenly heard an old voice.

"Anyone?" Fang Huai's eyes widened and he looked around: "Who, who is talking"

"I am the locust tree you hit, it was your blood that woke me up, and now you are in my body."

Tree? Fang Huai suddenly remembered the lonely, tall, and unknown locust tree on the cliff, and his heart moved, and he asked, "Are you a locust tree spirit?" ”

"Locust tree spirit? Hehe, you can call me that, when I take on human form, I can indeed be said to be a spirit. But now with your cause and effect, the time for me to transform into human form will drag on for another hundred years. The voice smirked self-deprecatingly.

"Why, I'm not dead, why am I delaying your time?" Fang Huai was indeed a little puzzled, he was already dead, how could he still harm others, no, it was the locust tree spirit.

"Hehe, our cultivation is the most focused on cause and effect, you inadvertently woke me up with a body of blood, and I am the locust tree, your name is Fang Huai, both of us have a locust character, this is fate, the cycle of heaven, karma, now you are in my body, if you don't go out, then I can't fly."

"Alas, now that I'm dead, how can I still get out, I didn't expect to be dead and affect you, I'm really embarrassed." Fang Huai was also very helpless, saying that he would still harm others if he died, but he was still harming the locust tree spirit when he died.

"Since you and I have this fate, it must also be God's arrangement, since this is the case, I will give you a great creation, so as to solve the cause and effect between us."

Fang Huai was trying to ask what kind of creation it was, but he suddenly felt a huge force of exclusion.

The sound of popping sounded, Fang Huai only felt that his body seemed to be squeezed by pressure, moving a little bit, after half a sound, he only felt that his body was suddenly light, and then he looked at it, he was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by the cliff, and the thousand-year-old locust tree was standing tall in front of him.

Suddenly, blood beads flew out of the locust tree, and in an instant, they turned into blood and water, and flew quickly towards themselves, and after a while, Fang Huai only felt that his body suddenly became heavier, and when he looked down, his originally transparent body actually grew again, and his skin also turned bronze.

Poof, Fang Huai fell suddenly, after rolling a few laps, he looked down at his body in amazement, the original height of 1.82 meters suddenly rose to about 1.9 meters, and his thin body now became extremely strong, and he squeezed his fist hard, only to feel full of strength: "What is this?" Reborn? ”
