Chapter 14: Seclusion
In mid-air, Tao Birong carefully inspected this small village, which was inhabited by honest and honest farmers, ordinary people could not be ordinary, about counting the houses, there were dozens of households, it seemed that they were sheltered here.
The population will not be very large, just more than 200 people. Tao Birong floated into the woods about five miles east of the village, and walked towards the village.
The difference between the peach demon and the human monk is that they don't need to eat, and they can't say that they don't need to eat, but they don't eat the grains that humans usually eat, and the things they want are the essence of the sun and the moon and the aura of heaven and earth, with these, they can constantly metabolize and cultivate.
This hill is not big in the air, but when it reaches the village, it is not very small. There is a ditch in front of the village road, which can not only drain water, but also solve the problem of drinking water for the villagers.
While walking, Tao Birong's hand unconsciously touched the bamboo basin on her waist, as if saying to herself: "Let's take a break here for a while!" ”
Xiao Ziyi listened to Tao Birong's words and did not answer, and the current situation could only follow Tao Birong's arrangement. She's a peach demon who hasn't yet transformed, what idea can she have.
From this end of the village to the other end, Tao Birong wanted to see if there was any danger in the village, and after making sure that there was no danger, she didn't go far from the village, and as soon as her body floated, she went into the woods, and after looking around, she found a very secluded place, which was intended to be used as a temporary residence for her and the bamboo pot.
Whether it's a peach demon, or another demon plant, in fact, there is no need for any shelter from the wind and rain, as long as there is enough sunlight and moonlight, and the land is fertile. So after finding a vacant land, Tao Birong checked the underground, first took Xiao Ziyi out of the bamboo basin, and said, "You choose a place for yourself and take root!" ”
Xiao Ziyi has no opinion, when she arrives here, she will naturally do what Tao Birong says, she chooses a position to the side, and with a shake of her body, the roots are deeply rooted in the soil. And a small branch that Tao Birong didn't see, Tao Ziyi tightly rolled the soul stone, and buried it in the soil together.
Tao Birong first took out a dry branch, pulled a flower in her hand, and inserted it into the root of Xiao Ziyi, and at the same time also inserted one in the place she chose, and then her body turned into a peach tree that was slightly thicker than Xiao Ziyi, and it also stood tall there. All of a sudden, this is a temporary home for two people.
The breath of the two peach demons became completely absent at this moment, whether it was a monk or any other demon clan, they would not find that there were two peach tree demons here.
Although it is deep in the mountains, there are occasional woodcutters who chop wood, half-grown children who herd sheep and cattle, and occasionally some women come to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Every time she saw these mortals passing by her side, Xiao Ziyi had an indescribable feeling in her heart, and the memories of her previous life surfaced one by one. When these people found out that they had two peach trees, they would occasionally pick one or two peaches to eat when the fruit was ripe, and Xiao Ziyi was very happy to see them eating with relish.
The branches are green, the dead leaves are flying, and so on, Xiao Ziyi, oh no, it is Tao Ziyi, and it has grown into a very lush peach tree. And the villagers are also very familiar with these two peach trees.
And Tao Ziyi is even more sorrowful, that is, she has transformed. Legend has it that the Emperor Rooar only encountered it once every sixty years, and the last time the Diliu Paddle appeared, it was when she and Tao Birong fled, and now the date is only three or four years.
Of course, if you rely on your own hard cultivation, if you reach the infant stage, you can also transform into a shape. Thinking of this, Tao Ziyi felt this place, not to mention the thin aura, she couldn't even meet a cultivator, so you can imagine the cultivation conditions in this place.
She also asked Tao Birong if there was any other way to transform into a shape, although Tao Birong had already cultivated in the foundation building period, but because she was protected by the ancestor so well, she basically never left except for the clan land, so she didn't know what to do.
Thinking of having to wait until the demon infant stage to transform like this, Tao Ziyi couldn't help but feel a little bitter in her heart. She is really anxious, she really wants to go back to that small village to see the changes there, even if there are only a lot of small dirt bags, Tao Ziyi also wants to go back and see, although it is likely to be the family affection in the previous life, she also misses it very much.
Thinking of Grandpa Tao's kind eyebrows, remembering the time when he was in his grandfather's arms, and thinking of those warm pictures, Tao Ziyi wanted to go back more and more. At the same time, she also wants to improve her strength, because of those demons, she and her family have become past and present lives, because of the demon clan's extermination, she didn't even see the last side of her grandfather and parents, let alone filial piety, so the hatred of the demon clan in her heart is acute.
Every day, it's like this, sunrise, sunset, Tao Ziyi suddenly feels that her tomorrow seems to be very gloomy, and the urgency of transformation is even stronger.
Suddenly, one day, I heard a group of people bustling down the mountain. After a cursory look, Tao Birong and Tao Ziyi could see that these people were all villagers under the mountain.
With the ears of the two demon plants, I heard the villagers' intentions intermittently far away, and it turned out that there were monsters in the village recently, and the monsters that specialized in catching children were there! Four children have been taken away one after another, and these people remembered that they heard that peach trees can ward off evil spirits, so the villagers, everyone with axes and saws in their hands, wanted to get some peach wood from the two peach trees to ward off evil spirits.
Of course, it doesn't matter if they get a little bit of it from each family, so Tao Birong and Tao Ziyi didn't care, but let them let them get some branches back on the two of them, how to ward off evil spirits, then they don't know.
However, Tao Ziyi also secretly fell in love when she heard the villagers' discussions, leaving some spiritual imprints on her branches, so that once something happened, she would know what was going on.
And Tao Birong complained indignantly after these people left: "It's already good to eat us, but this also destroys our branches, and we won't give them peaches again in the coming year!" ”
Tao Ziyi listened, and there were no words, she knew that Tao Birong was angry talk, knotting peaches, could it be that the current cultivation of the two of them would end if they said that they would end it, and if they didn't tie it, they wouldn't end it?
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. In August, the nights are already very cool, especially these villagers who work at sunrise and rest at sunset, have already rested early.
The third house in the east of the village is a small square courtyard, with a large black iron gate, a courtyard wall made of stone on all sides, and a two-story courtyard in front and back.
