Before the morning sun could shine, the trees were woken up by a commotion.

There was a little monkey squeaking and crawling desperately on top of it, and a fat woman with a stick in her hand, shouting and chasing after her.

"Stinky monkey! Steal the old lady's things and eat! My mother has to beat you to death today! ”

The monkey finally climbed up the tree and pointed his red ass at the woman.

The woman went crazy and smashed the monkey with the wooden stick in her hand. The stick grazed the monkey's head, and the monkey was startled and screamed and hid in the canopy.

An old man said, "This is a sacred tree, and the creatures on the tree cannot be beaten." ”

So the woman scolded and went back.

The big tree wrapped the little monkey around the twig and pumped its ass hard. The little monkey promised never to steal again.

There will be many children who climb the tree to play, and the tree is not angry, but likes these little things, and their innocent and cute appearance is no different from small animals.

The old man under the tree was gray-haired, his eyes were cloudy, and his thin body was clumped together and he was on a cane. He said to the children, "This tree is a sacred tree, don't hurt the little animals on the tree, he will be angry." ”

But when the old man was away, the children caught a little rabbit. The little rabbits knew that there was a tree grandfather, and humans would not harm them, but the rabbits did not know that children were unruly, so they showed their cooking skills and made a dish of braised rabbit meat. It turned out that they had no talent, and the rabbit meat was difficult to eat, so they each tasted it and threw it on the side of the road.

Big Tree is angry!

He felt his majesty challenged!

The bird said to him, "You need to prove that you are their protector." You have the will and the ability to protect them. ”

So the tree summoned a heavy rain!

It rained heavily for a day and a night, and the lightning and thunder never stopped. People waited until the rain stopped before they dared to go out. There was no place to stay outside the door, and several houses were washed down, and many crops were drowned.

People certainly don't know about the masterpieces of small children.

They just wondered why such a catastrophe had suddenly befallen them.

"You've angered the dryads!" The old man put his cane on the ground with a clattering crutch.

Children don't believe in tree gods!

They caught another small animal in the tree, and with the talent of human creation, they ravaged it wantonly, and the little animal quickly lost its life.

This time it was a little squirrel that often scratched for itself.

The tree said, "It can't go on like this." ”

"Humans should be allowed to know the truth, otherwise they will not understand what is wrong with them," the bird said. ”

But as a tree, you can't talk to a human, and it's the same with a bird.

The bird flew down from the highest branch and took on a human form, a flowing boy in white clothes.

He conveyed to the humans the will of the tree god they worshipped: "The human child has broken the covenant and harmed the creatures of the tree, and if this happens again, the tree god will punish him." ”

But the people shouted in horror: "O monster! ”

The young man said lightly: "We have no ill intentions, your ancestors have made a pact with the tree god, and we will protect you, provided that you abide by the agreement." ”

But people didn't listen, they just yelled.

Someone used a weapon to attack the teenager.

The young man was puzzled, this was the first time that the big tree had seen such a confused expression of the bird: "We are the gods you once believed in, why do we have to be called monsters when we meet?" ”

"You're a demon! You're a monster cultivated by a bird! ”

The young man asked, "If I cultivate into a human form and am called a monster, then what are your so-called gods?" ”

"You're a youkai! This tree is also a demon tree! ”

"We are indeed demons, but we don't have the heart to harm others. As far as you are concerned, what difference does it make between a god and a demon? ”

"The rainstorm a few days ago is also your demon magic!"

"That is a warning to you because your descendants have broken the rules."

"Sure enough, they did it! They're youkai! Kill them! Burn this demon tree! ”

Big Tree wondered, why did things get to this point? Didn't these humans know in advance that they were cultivating into demon trees? If you are not a demon, how can you provide them with shelter?

Only demons can protect them, but they hate demons......

"But the gods you believe in cannot help you, they are far away from you, and it is we who have always blessed your village."

The boy's voice was drowned out by the shouts of the humans.

The old man stomped his feet in the crowd in a hurry: "That's the sacred tree!" This is the messenger of the sacred tree! They are our protectors! What are you doing here? Don't be disrespectful to the sacred tree! ”

Someone rudely pushed the old man away: "Pedar old man! We are people who stand up to the sky, and we don't need the protection of demons! We're going to burn this demon tree! ”

People brandished scythes and slashed at the teenagers.

The boy is a monster with some 10,000-year cultivation!

He's got the best at it!

But he always looks like an ordinary bird.

When the humans threw the torches at the trees, the animals and birds in the trees fled, and the people attacked the creatures with the most brutal methods.

The tree stared blankly at all this.

He didn't understand that I was a tree god that people feared not so long ago......

The boy turned his head and looked at the big tree: "It seems that we are all wrong. ”

"Humanity has never really seen me as a protector. I've always been just a substitute for God......"

"Humans, it's really complicated." The boy shook his head, "I don't want to fly around all of a sudden. ”

"Why?"

"Compared with curiosity about the world, I care more about what the demon is like in the eyes of the world."
