Chapter 16: Family Troubles
The demon king seems to have a great prejudice against the fairy world, which makes Fei'er embarrassed. Her purpose of going down the mountain this time is to bring people back to the mountain, and then embark on the path of cultivating immortals, if this demon king has such thoughts, then wouldn't she waste the Yuan Dan that her master had worked so hard to refine. Whether he becomes an immortal or not is his business, and whether he can bring it back to the mountain is Fei'er's business.
Thinking of this, Fei'er took a step forward and said, "That, Demon King, what do you have to do with the immortals in the sky?" Hate them so much. â
The demon king snorted, then sat on the stone bed, held his head high, looked at Fei'er and asked, "Do you really want to know?" â
Fei'er nodded sincerely.
"After you know, you won't think about persuading me to practice with your master I haven't met, right?"
Fei'er smiled and said, "It depends on what your story is, if you really don't want to do something, I can't help it!" â
"Okay, then I'll tell you my story, and you can see why I hate Heaven so much."
The demon king Midori Sakura said, and there was some sadness in his eyes. His story begins 300 years ago.
Three hundred years ago, Green Sakura was not Green Sakura, but was called Li Junmian. At that time, the Li family was the richest man in Qili Town, Li Junmian was smart since he was a child, danced and wrote, was strong everywhere, and he was also very kind, and liked to make friends. One day, he went to the hanging mountain in Qili Town to collect medicine for his mother, but as soon as he arrived on the mountain, he saw all kinds of animals in the woods, running down the mountain in groups. He thought it was strange at the time, hiding behind a big tree and looking out.
At this time, I only heard an old and hoarse voice ringing in his ears, "You better hurry down the mountain!" Tell your relatives and friends around you that you must not slaughter animals that rush down the mountain when you see them. â
Li Junmian was looking left and right, looking for someone to speak, but when he looked up, he saw a huge human face on the big tree he was leaning on, squinting his eyes, talking to him. He ran out in fright, almost falling into a pack of lions that were running. Then he had to take two more steps forward.
He looked at the sky for a while, the ground for a while, and the animals running for a while, and finally, he still looked at the big tree in front of him, and asked tremblingly, "That, you are a tree spirit, right?" â
"Yes." The big tree replied.
In fact, when he first saw the face on this tree, he had already guessed a few points, and he had heard the old people say that there were many demons and monsters on this hanging mountain. If you respect them and love them, you will not be harmed, but if humans plunder the mountains endlessly, God will be angry.
He was still young at the time and didn't understand this sentence too much, and now facing this situation, he suddenly remembered what he had heard about the Hanging Mountain when he was a child. However, it is always strange that so many animals are running like they are fleeing, but it should not hurt the people in the town. It's better to pick the medicine first.
Thinking of this, he felt a lot more relieved, and then said to the tree spirit: "You just said that the people in the town, it's better not to hurt these animals, but as long as they don't run to the town, won't they be fine?" If they go to town and hurt people, and ask us not to hurt them, it doesn't make sense! I'm going to rush to pick up medicine, and I guess it's weird that I'll be back in town. â
He lifted his legs, walked around the running animal, and was about to walk deeper into the woods. Then he suddenly turned to the dryad and said, "I forgot to thank you for your kindness, thank you." â
With that, he turned around and left. I only heard the voice of the old tree spirit from behind, "Young man, there are some things that God has decided, and it is difficult to change. I hope that when you return to the town, you will not have the intention of killing, and return to the old tree spirit and me, so that I can protect you. The person in front of him walked farther and farther, and the old tree spirit didn't know if he heard his words. As the guardian of the Hanging Mountain, it felt that it was time to repay the mountain people and the humans below the mountain.
When Li Junmian went up the mountain, he didn't see a single animal on the way, and a lot of strange things had happened just now, just like the tree spirit, when he used to go up the mountain, he often passed by there, and sometimes, he would stop under the big tree to rest, but he never knew that the tree had become a spirit, and he kept looking at him like that, and most of the things he had said about Miss Song had been listened to by him.
He laughed at his ignorance along the way, and before he knew it, he came to a cliff, and when he woke up, he saw that he was less than a meter from the edge of the cliff. He was so frightened that he quickly stepped back, and then fell to the ground. After a while, I saw a rumbling thunder in the sky, followed by terrifying lightning.
He was crawling on the ground, trying to find a place to shelter from the rain. But he searched for a long time, and although he didn't find it, he didn't find the torrential rain that he thought was falling. Then he stopped, looked up at the sky, and saw a thing shining with colorful light, falling under the cliff. Then the thunder was gone, the lightning was gone, and the scorching sun rose again to bake the earth.
What is called strange or not, Li Junmian is really aware of it at this moment. He stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and looked at where he was. But to be honest, he really didn't know where he was at the moment, so he could only find a general direction and plunge into it.
If at first he saw all the animals running down the hill, he hadn't taken this strange thing to heart. But now, strange things happened one after another, and Li Junmian's heart began to worry. He hurriedly collected the medicine, and then hurried home. He kept praying in his heart, "It's okay, it's going to be okay, God, our Qili Town has always been kind to our neighbors, even if there is a natural disaster, it shouldn't happen in Qili Town!" Don't be fine. â
When he passed by the old tree spirit, the old tree spirit stopped him and said, "There is no zĂ i left in your village or town. â
He turned his head and looked at the old tree spirit in disbelief, "No, I just left for such a moment, how can such a big town be gone all of a sudden?" â
The old tree spirit sighed and sighed: "What you think is that all of a sudden, for the people in the town, a month has passed, and now, everyone in the town is dead, leaving you alone." â
Li Junmian shook his head, he really only left for a while, at most two hours, how could a month pass like this?
"You lied to me." He yelled, a little sad.
"Whether it's a lie or not, you can see for yourself, but you bring this first." As he spoke, the old tree spirit stretched out a branch and dragged the leaves on the branch, and there was a small green ball, which emitted a bright light.
He took the little green ball in his hand, looked at it and asked, "What is this thing?" â
"This is my Yuan Dan, you can eat it to keep you safe and sound." The old tree spirit had a comforting smile on his face, as if an old man was out of love for his juniors.
He held this Yuan Dan in his hand, didn't know what to do, and asked, "Why are you giving me this thing?" Could this thing have saved my life? Could that also cost the lives of the people in the town? â
The old tree spirit sighed, "Except for you, everyone else in the town is dead, how can this dead person be saved?" I gave you my Yuan Dan, just to repay the kindness of the ancestors of the Li family, and I don't want the Li family to have no successor like this. If you want to go to town, go ahead, but be sure to come back before dark, otherwise, even if you have a Yuan Dan, you won't be able to save your life. â
He still didn't quite understand the old tree spirit's words, but now, he was more eager to know about his family's situation. If it was really like what this tree spirit said, then his family must have already returned to his realm. Thinking of this, he swallowed Yuan Dan without hesitation, and then ran desperately down the mountain.
The sun is still the same sun, the woods are still the same woods, and the road is still the same road he is familiar with. He didn't get lost, he didn't go in the wrong direction, his home was in front of him. However, along the way, there was one thing that he cared about, and that was that the animals in the woods were living and jumping peacefully.
