Chapter 115: The Human Face Tree
"I said you are...!"
Suddenly, just before Chen Hao could finish speaking, the ground suddenly emitted a huge vibration, as if the ground was about to rise, which made everyone almost fall.
"What happened?" Ampere Qingxue looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, a human-like howl spread throughout the forest, and although it sounded like a human voice, the sound was very strange.
"Are there youkai again?" Garo picked up his bow and looked around.
"Little Pi-sama!" Tanigawa was a little scared and hid behind Onmyoji Xiao Lian!
"It's okay, I'll protect you forever until... As much as ever...! Xiao Bi said while protecting Tanigawa in front of him, but Xiao Bi's words revealed an emotion that seemed to be more elusive than liking, and it was difficult for people to see through.
"The cry seems to be in the direction of the east!" At this time, Qibao lay on the body of the battle bone and followed the voice to look in the direction of the east and said.
"East...! Isn't that the only way we need to go on our route to Lulin Mountain? Tanigawa said in surprise.
"yes!" Chen Hao pulled out the ghost cut: "It seems that there is trouble again." ”
"Do you want to come along?" Garo asked the onmyoji Xiao Pi and his assistant Tanigawa behind him.
"Of course it's coming, this is also the path we must take, and making more partners will reduce the risk." Tanigawa hurriedly said.
"I listened to my family Tanigawa, Tanigawa said together, I will definitely be together." Xiao Bi looked at Tanigawa with an ambiguous look!
"Don't be like this, girls should be reserved." Gu Chuan looked at Xiao Bi in front of him and was also very helpless.
"If I were reserved, would Tanigawa be with me?" Xiao Bi asked Furukawa.
"Let's not mention this for now, okay? Let's finish the trial first. Tanigawa shook his head in a bummer.
"I'm running out of time...!" Xiao Bi said.
"Huh? What doesn't have time? Tanigawa asked.
"No... Nothing, always... In short, Xiao Bi likes Tanigawa the most! ”
"Hey, keep up!" Garo said to Tanigawa and Xiao Pi behind him.
"Okay, here."
Meanwhile, in the forest to the east, a man was kneeling down in front of a huge tree: "O tree with a human face! Please, please let me see my wife again! ”
At this time, the human-faced tree was wrapped with huge demonic power, and it seemed to be very painful.
Just about half an hour ago, this man came here and buried under this tree a human head that belonged to the man's wife, who had dug up his wife's body in his own coffin and brought it here to be buried.
It turns out that this man's name is "Keita"! And his wife has been dead for three years, Keita has always loved his wife deeply, but he didn't expect that soon after marriage, his wife suffered from a serious illness, and Keita could only watch his wife die in front of him.
In the past three years since his wife's death, Keita has been thinking about his wife all the time, and his life without his wife is simply boring.
However, one day, during a conversation between a pair of onmyoji, a monster human-faced tree appeared in a certain forest, and it is said that as long as the human head is buried under this tree, then the human-faced tree will absorb the head and produce a fruit that is exactly the same as this head, and when this fruit is ripe, it will awaken and have all the memories and emotions of the skull's owner.
Qingtian, who had been missing his wife, heard the news and thought of his wife who he had always loved deeply: "Even if it is a human face tree fruit with memories and emotions!" I really want to see my wife again! ”
So Keita dug up his wife's grave and cut it off with his own hands, and his wife's head came to this forest according to the location marked in the onmyoji's dialogue.
The man named Keita buried his wife's head under the human face tree with his own hands, and then prayed sincerely: "Please absorb my wife's head!" Then grow that kind of human face fruit, let me see my wife, even if it's just the fruit! I really want to see my wife again! ”
However, the process of absorbing the human face tree and growing the human face fruit is very slow, and it is likely to take a month to three months, but at this time, Qingtian, who could no longer wait, took out a black snake scale that exuded demonic power from his pocket.
"This is what I got from the hands of a certain youkai with my 20 years of life, and it is said that it can enhance the demonic power of any youkai, please, Lord Human-faced Tree." Qing Tian made up his mind and stuffed the black snake scales that exuded huge demonic power into the body of the human face tree.
However, at this moment, the human-faced tree, which had been standing still on the ground, was stuffed with such a black snake scale in its own tree, and the human-faced tree suddenly began to shake violently as if it had come to life, causing the earth to shake again and again.
A human face grew from the top of the human-faced tree, and the human face let out a howl of pain, as if the demonic power of the black scales was causing great pain to the current human-faced tree.
"Grow up, absorb it, grow it, my wife, my gentle wife! I really want to see each other again, even if it's just the fruit of all the memories and emotions! The man named Keita prayed sincerely, but his face revealed a distorted expression.
At the same time, the current human-faced tree is constantly filled with the huge demonic power of the black snake scales in the body, and the human-faced tree is also growing rapidly, pulling out the rhizomes from the ground, and slapping on the ground in great pain, it seems that it is very uncomfortable with this sudden demonic power and rapid growth, violating the growth law of the human-faced tree.
The originally green fruits on the branches of the human-faced trees began to gradually turn red, and gradually, some of the originally red fruits came out of the nose, ears and human features, and opened their mouths and howled in pain, as if they were also very painful about such forced growth.
For a while, several cries of pain came and went, constantly filling the surrounding forest.
"What about my wife? Where did it grow? Wife, are you there? Keita shouted at the heads of the treetops of the human face tree.
And at this moment, Chen Hao and the others also rushed here.
"Holy, what is this? It's disgusting. Tanigawa said as he looked at the human-faced tree in the distance covered with the fruits of human heads.
"It's a human-faced tree!" Ampere said: "It is said that as long as the head of a human is buried under this tree, the fruit of the human face tree with all the memories and emotions can be grown, and the fruit can speak and think like a human being, so there will be many human beings who want to see or remember the deceased again, and will cut off the head of the deceased and bury it under the tree, and wait for the human face fruit with the face of the deceased tree to grow the face of the deceased." ”
