.

Li Bai was frightened, he didn't expect this green plum tree to speak, and he was surprised. But he soon calmed his mind, swept away his fear, and walked around the green plum tree as he approached, looking thoughtfully at it. After a few laps, with a suspicious face, he asked, "What are you?" Human, or demon? ”

"Back to the little master!" Green Plum Tree: "Old decay is neither a human nor a demon, but a green plum tree spirit." ”

"Green plum tree spirit?" Li Bai was stunned.

"Yes, little master!" Green Plum Tree: "Old decay is an ordinary plum tree, and it has reached the time of decay and death. But I didn't expect that fifteen years ago, the little young master, your god descended from the sky, so that the old decay was stained with some immortal energy, and he was born from death and became this green plum tree spirit. ”

"In addition, your parents have done a lot of good deeds on weekdays, and have accumulated a lot of great virtues, so they are blessed by God." The green plum tree was unhurried: "Because of this, the old decay was able to get away with it, escape the thunder and lightning, and live to this day." ”

What the green plum tree spirit said is true, it is the long-dead green plum tree in the courtyard of the Li Mansion fifteen years ago. When Li Bai came into the world, the fairy spirit was first revealed, so that it was fortunate to be touched, and after a few puffs, it came back to life, and the trees were full of snow-white.

It says that it is neither human nor demon, and this is not false.

As the saying goes: the world is divided into three religions, and the human area is nine streams. Whether it is a god or a demon, there is also a difference between high and low, and the rank is divided into 'gods, demons, fairies, demons, ghosts, spirits, and spirits'.

This green plum tree spirit is 'essence', ranking in the bottom two, one order lower than 'spirit', so it is not worthy of the title of 'demon'.

And there is a way of heaven in the sky, and in the world, everything has calamities. Especially these demons and spirits, every few years have to suffer the punishment of thunder and lightning disasters, if they can get through it, they will continue to cultivate, and if they can't get through, their souls will be scattered, and there will be no place to bury them.

The green plum tree spirit has become a Taoist essence without any cultivation, which is a move against the sky, and it deserves to be punished by the five thunders and destroyed to ashes. However, because Li Ke and Yuewa do more good deeds on weekdays and accumulate great virtues, the entire Li Mansion is blessed by the sky, so that the thunder and lightning dare not be easily split. Therefore, this green plum tree spirit was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, avoid the catastrophe, and live.

After Li Bai heard this, he woke up like a big dream, he knew that 'Li Hua bloomed a tree white', Li Ke and Yuewa talked about it, but he didn't expect it to be such a context. After waiting for a while, Li Bai suddenly remembered the word 'sword' in his heart, so he couldn't wait to say to Qing Li Shujing: "You just said that you would give me a good sword, is it true or false?" Where is this sword? Can you show it to me? ”

"Little master!" Qingli Shujing: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you, old decay, is the sword you want." ”

Rumble!

As soon as he said this, the green plum tree spirit exploded with a 'boom', flashing a dazzling light. In an instant, a three-foot wooden sword flew out with a 'bang' and leaped away and circled in mid-air. Li Bai looked at it and saw that the sword was blood-red, and faintly, there were red flames rising from the sword body. With just one glance, Li Bai fell in love with it and felt that this was the peerless sword he was looking for.

"Little master!" Suddenly, the sword flew in front of Li Bai at an extremely fast speed, shook into the ground for three points, splashed countless mud and stones, and said: "In the past fifteen years, the old man has relied on the few traces of immortal qi you gave him to cultivate a lot of Taoism. Although it is not powerful, but from now on, the old man can indeed save the three lives of the little master. ”

"That's right, little master!" The sword paused, and then he said, "Go and dig in the soil to see if there is a red bead like an eye." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Bai nodded, and then walked to the collapsed tree pit and cut down. It didn't take long for a red bead to be dug out of the soil, as red as blood and like an eye. When Li Bai saw it, he was shocked, because this red bead was exactly the same as the demon flower's bloody eyes.

"How do you have such bloody eyes?" Li Bai turned around and asked, "Where did you get it from?" ”

"Little master, this is not an old thing." Qingli Mujian replied: "Before the Turkic people came here, the land under your feet was originally a huge tomb, and the old decay was a green plum tree in this tomb. ”

"But I don't know how long it will take for this tomb to be erased by the years, and I can't see what it used to be." Qing Li Mujian seemed to fall into memory, unhurried, and continued to speak, "Later, some people came here, they overcame thorns and thorns, opened up a vast territory, and their blood flowed into a river, and gradually became the Turks today. This red bead is the thing of the tomb, but unfortunately it has been a long time, and I don't know who left it. ”

"Then how did this bead end up under your roots?" Li Bai asked: "Didn't someone do it on purpose?" ”

"It's not clear to this old man!" Qingli Mujian: "When the old decay came out of the soil, it lay next to it, and then the old decay grew bigger and bigger, and rolled him into the roots, until now. ”

"Hearing you say that, you seem to have lived for a long time." Li Bai paused and asked, "Is there a hundred years?" ”

"More than that!" Qingli Mujian: "Maybe it's because of this bead that the old man has lived for many years." Or because of this bead, the old decay can only produce some sweet plum fruits every year, so it is lucky that it was not cut off. As for how long he lived, he really didn't remember. ”

"Since this bead is so powerful, it can keep you alive for so long." Li Bai was puzzled: "Then why did you rot later?" ”

"Sow a cause and reap a result. Old decay was born because of this bead, and naturally died because of this bead. Qing Li Mu Jian: "Little Master, look, although this bead looks red now, it was not like this many years ago, but black. ”

"Black?" Li Bai was stunned: "Then why does this bead turn red?" Or why did it turn red? ”

"Blood!" Qing Li Mujian was cold, like ice: "The blood of countless people!" ”

"You mean......" Li Bai frowned and asked in surprise, "This bead is dyed red with human blood?" ”

"Yes, little master!" Qingli Mujian: "There have been countless wars on the land under your feet, and the blood that flowed out seeped into the soil, and was sucked clean by this bead, and gradually, it became more and more red. Decades ago, a Taoist priest suddenly came, and I don't know what kind of spell he cast, so that this bead would no longer suck human blood. Or maybe it's because of this that the decay slowly fades and withers. ”

When he heard this, Li Bai thought for a while, as if he understood something, but as if he didn't understand anything. After a pause, Li Bai raised the bloody eyeball to the near point in front of his eyes, aimed at the moon in the sky, and wanted to take a closer look through the moonlight.

As a result, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew down from the sky, and the speed was as fast as wind and lightning. Before he could say half a word, he suddenly attacked Li Bai and stabbed him with a sword.
