8. Past and present lives
It was late at night, most of the elves had fallen asleep, and Eshna was sleeping deep in the trees. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At some point, two burly figures suddenly appeared under the shade of Jianmu. One figure stood due south, the other due north. Judging from the body shape, it should be two tree people.
"You're late, my friend." Zhong Huan sent a spiritual message to them, and the two tree men remained motionless.
Immediately, Zhong Huan sent out a second message: "No response? It seems that I should call the two of you, Shennong and Sword Idiot. ”
As soon as the names of Shennong and Sword Idiot came out, the two tree people shook violently. The treeman standing to the north snapped, "How do you know my identity?" ”
"I didn't expect to meet Daoyou in the other world, Shennong is polite." The tree man standing on the south side asked in a calm tone: "Can you make small moves and get big bargains under my nose, I don't know which old man you are?" ”
"I don't need to talk about the past, I'm a tree now. Of course, you're no better. Zhong Huan said triumphantly: "I wonder what the two of you plan to do in the future?" ”
"Don't think that I will bow to you, don't try to control me," the sword idiot's tone was cold, and he stepped forward and said, "Otherwise, although Jianmu is hard, it will not be able to escape my sword sweep." ”
"Don't shout and kill as soon as you come up, you have been cutting people for so many years, and you still haven't grown at all." Shennong, that is, the spiritual message of Degushu came.
"Hmph, old thief Shennong, you don't talk cool there. If you hadn't plotted against me back then, how would I have ended up here? The Ancient Tree of War, incarnated by the Sword Maniac, let out a roar of rage.
"So the old man wanted to laugh three times, sword idiot, you even sold your ancestors for the sake of swordsmanship. As a result, it was not much stronger, and it was still inferior to the power of the Green Emperor Mu Huang Jue. I knew you were an embroidered pillow, why did I hide in Tibet with the fragments of building wood? ”
"Come on, keep arguing, beware of summoning the wood elves. When it comes to being a treeman, the most important thing is to be happy. Zhong Huan interrupted the-for-tat confrontation between the two, and he said step by step: "I have stood motionless here for hundreds of years, which of you has seen me complain about the heavens?" Let go of all the previous grievances! ”
The two ignored Zhong Huan's dissuasion, and the sword idiot said coldly: "My sword idiot has clear grievances. I have guarded this race for you for ninety-nine years, which can be regarded as repaying your grace of rebirth and recreation. ”
"Now that you've woken up, I'm not going to stay any longer. I'm just here to tell you that I'm going to get out of here soon. Those elves who have followed me, I hope you don't embarrass them. Of course, you really don't like them, and it doesn't matter if you kill them all. ”
Shennong added: "What I want to say is exactly the same as a sword idiot. ”
"Why do you want to go?" Zhong Huan persuaded bitterly: "I don't mean to drive people out, let alone charge the rent of the two." After a long time, you'll know that I'm a nice guy to get along with. ”
"I'm leaving, it's not your problem. I was originally an upright human race, but now I live in the world with the shell of a wood spirit. When I think of this, I always feel that I have no face to see my hometown in the bottom of my heart. I want to find a place to rebuild my body and get rid of this dead tree as soon as possible. Shennong sighed in a low voice.
It can be seen that this is a ******** problem. The two of them are obsessed with their own tree form, and they are bent on shedding their alien shells and cultivating their human bodies again.
In the name of the old tree spirit, this made the pressure on the two of them enormous.
In terms of mentality, they are not as good as Zhong Huan, and they can't calmly face the fact that they have become a tree. The destruction of human nature by feudal ideology can be seen.
After the two finished what they had to say, they were about to turn around and leave, when Zhong Huan suddenly stopped them: "Wait a minute." ”
Jianmu moved slightly, and two balls of light flew out from Jianmu's canopy, instantly submerging into the two tree people's bodies.
"It's not like I've been asleep for 100 years, and I've done nothing. At least let me figure out the origin of the Wood Elves. I may not be able to turn you into human form. But if you want to turn the two of them into wood elves, it won't be difficult for me. ”
With Zhong Huan's confident words, the dryad's body instantly cracked, and two naked wood elf males rolled down from the two trees respectively.
"What a young body, is this the power of Jianmu?" The elven man incarnated by Shennong, he looked at his hands and muttered to himself. The newborn Shennong looked handsome, and even had a bit of Legolas's shadow in The Lord of the Rings.
The only thing that distinguishes him from the Elven Prince is that he has a full head of black hair.
In comparison, the sword idiot's appearance is not so handsome, he can only be regarded as an ordinary handsome guy, but his attention is obviously not on appearance.
The sword idiot casually picked up a branch from the ground, he tried to swing it a few times, and a satisfied look appeared on his face: "The physical fitness is quite good, and I owe you a favor again." ”
Although both of them expressed their owe Zhong Huan favors, they still chose to leave.

"Did the master see anything last night?" The next day, Eichna suddenly asked without a head. Although she was already a senior high priest, in front of Zhong Huan, Ashna behaved childishly from time to time.
"Why do you have such doubts?" Zhong Huan was concentrating on his new creation, and he replied casually.
Ekhina blushed in shame, and she waited for Ai Ai for a long time before she replied, "The elves patrolling the city reported that they found two male elves walking around the city last night without clothes. According to the earliest eyewitness accounts, the naked male pervert first appeared near the Shenmu Temple. ”
"Because of this, there are already elven elders who doubt the loyalty of the temple priests to their masters."
"Oh, those two perverts are the War Ancient Tree and the Degu Tree. According to the agreement of the year, after I turned them into elven form, the two guys left happily. If there are no other surprises, it is estimated that they will never come back. ”
Aichna's beautiful eyes lit up instantly: "In that case, I immediately organized people to collect what they left behind." ”
"Inclusion doesn't have to be rushed. You go and tell the two factions that even if Gu Shu chooses to leave, everything is still going according to the usual rules. ”
Zhong Huan knocked Ekhina lightly and heavily. There's nothing wrong with wanting power, but it's not right to disrupt the current state of stability.
Yesterday he was still angry that Ehine was not in power. But after learning about the social structure of the wood elves, especially the conversation with Shennong, he benefited a lot. Zhong Huan has changed his original mind.
Whether it is a municipal government or a military power, they should be on an equal footing with the temple. Forcibly co-opting the temple would have only one consequence: theocracy over secular power.
This is contrary to Zhong Huan's three views, and the social groups of theocracy are all going to die.
"Does the master intend to be tolerant of these dissenting wood elves? As wood elves who don't believe in the World Tree, they are clearly heretical! The master should sanction them. Ekhina was puzzled by Zhong Huan's approach.
"I've tried my best to limit the size of the temple and set the rule that non-fanatics are not allowed to borrow the power of the sacred tree, not to make the priests become human beings! I hope that everyone will be able to live after leaving the World Tree. Learn ye the lesson of being cast out of eternity. ”
"The master taught, and I will take it to heart. I only care about the immediate interests, but I ignore the future of the wood elves. The tragedy of the Eternal Realm is precisely because the Wood Elves rely too much on the World Tree. The wisdom of the owner, I will take it to heart. Ehna was in awe, and then a look of unease appeared on her face:
"The master didn't even start the first skin, so why did he think about it thousands of years later?"
Zhong Huan half-jokingly: "Because I'm not sure if I will blossom and bear fruit." Even if it blossoms and bears fruit, I can't guarantee that a new World Tree will grow. After all, one tree can't hold up the entire world of wood elves. ”
"The master is talking nonsense again." Eshna burst into a snicker, and her happy appearance made Zhong Huan feel very shameless.
After laughing, Eshna said seriously: "The World Tree is a cutting, as long as the master is willing to give me a branch, I will be able to cultivate a new World Tree sapling." ”
Well, it turns out that buddies are asexual reproduction.
Zhong Huan complained for a while in his heart, and he categorically rejected Eichna's request to ask for a branch: "If you don't give it, I'm afraid it hurts." Hurry up and appease the followers of the two ancient trees, lest they jump over the wall and do stupid things. ”
