Chapter 3 The Love of Passers-by
By the time the first rays of the morning sun shone into the room, the two people on the bed were gone
"Mr. Nan, why do we get up so early?"
"Are we going to come blatantly during the day, are you afraid that the dryad won't find us?"
"If you find out, you won't get hurt"
"But you will!"
Nan Xian stared ahead, carefully observing the terrain, and did not notice that Cheng Yanxin behind him blushed.
Nanxian remembers that the characters in the novice village were designed by his roommate A, and they also discussed the shape and placement of the dryad, if memory serves, the dryad should be in the hole in front of him, and his real body is the towering tree behind the cave.
When the people in the village saw that this tree was growing tall and big, they worshipped it as a sacred tree, prayed for blessings every year, and built a sacred tree temple for it. But when the village was filled with dead people one after another, there were very few people who came to worship them again. The background of the story is like this, but how the tree became a dryad, Nanxian can't remember clearly.
"Mr. Nan, did you hear any crying?"
"Heard"
"Is there anyone around here?"
"No, now the villagers don't come to worship"
"That's your tree crying"
"Hmm...... Wrong! What is my house tree called? ”
"Why is your tree crying, it's obvious that he is harming people"
"If you knew, you wouldn't be lying here and observing."
"But ......"
"Alright, be quiet, let's go ahead and see."
Cheng Yan swallowed the unfinished words and followed Nanxian to the Divine Tree Temple. There was a burning fire in the temple with a small pot hanging from it, as if it was cooking rice, but it was unguarded
"Who are you?" A girl dressed in turquoise stood at the door,
She is not dressed like the people in the village but more like a girl in a big town, although the style of the clothes is very simple, but the materials used are excellent, and the person is delicate and dignified, Cheng Yanxin can't help but sigh that she is a good lady.
"Hello girl, we want to spend the night here, but I didn't think that the girl was here, it's really disturbing" Nanxian lied very naturally
"That's it, it's okay, I'm also staying here, so let's go together."
"Good"
Naturally, everyone took out a few bowls behind the tablet of the sacred tree, filled a bowl of porridge for Nanxian and Cheng Yanxin and handed it over.
Cheng Yanxin hurriedly took the bowl, but saw what kind of porridge was in the bowl, it was clearly a bowl of muddy water. Cheng Yanxin turned his head and wanted to say goodbye to Nanxian, but Nanxian had already taken a sip very naturally and thanked him politely. Nanxian gently took the porridge of the heart
"Girl, forgive me, my lady doesn't like to drink porridge since she was a child, and I still drink this porridge for her."
Without waiting for Cheng Yanxin to speak, Nanxian had already taken a second sip. Everyone smiled politely
"You are so affectionate, I still have to go looking for someone, so I left first"
"Good"
Nanxian watched everyone leave and immediately retched, and Cheng Yanxin stroked his back one by one
"Mr. Nan, are you afraid of her, she is obviously abnormal, or are you taking pity on the jade?"
"What kind of jade, my body is very magical, not only invulnerable, but also can see the monster, that woman is the tree demon"
"What? Is the dryad a woman? Then it's really perverted and hides a female corpse."
"No, to be precise, she is the female corpse hidden by the dryad, but now the dryad is attached to her, after all, we are in the game, and the task of the novice village still has to be completed, since we want to bury her, it is not good to hurt her casually"
"Oh, that's weird."
"What's wrong?"
"You see, it's the same game.,I'll get hurt but you won't.,My force value is zero, but you can't help but be invulnerable, and your eyes come with martial arts.,The strangest thing is that yesterday we couldn't move our legs when we wanted to run"
"Well, it's weird."
"What's more, Mr. Nan, I think this is the rhythm that is killing me!"
"So what do you want?"
"After this is over, you can teach me martial arts."
"Good"
In this way, Cheng Yanxin successfully hugged the first thigh in the game world.
Nanxian observed that everyone was going to the outside of the village, and with the mentality that knowing oneself and knowing the other can survive a hundred battles, he immediately took Cheng Yanxin to the cave of the tree demon. Walking down the stairs at first, they just felt a little cool, and the two thought it was the reason for the underground, so they didn't care, but the further down they went, the more they felt that something was wrong, and it was a little too cold!
By the time he really walked to the bottom of the cave, Cheng Yanxin was already shivering from the cold, Nanxian really didn't feel anything, but if he looked closely, his hand joints were already slightly red from the cold. Cheng Yanxin sighed, grabbed Nanxian's hand, and had his two small hands wrapping around the big hand
Cheng Yanxin pouted and said: "Hey, are you stupid, even if you don't feel it, you have to pay attention, you see what it looks like, don't go out and become disabled again, don't blame me when the time comes."
"I said that you can't talk well, why do you want to say it so ugly if you care?"
"Help me!" When Cheng Yanxin was about to refute, I don't know who suddenly came up with this sentence
The two of them immediately became vigilant, and when they looked closely, they found that the walls of this cave were actually covered with frost, and although the center of the cave was empty, there were many holes in the cave walls, and a small jar was placed in each hole. The jar is made of vines, and you can see that there are glowing things jumping and jumping inside.
"Help me"
"Help me"
The voice sounded again, and the two of them slowly followed the sound to the center of the cave wall. There was also a small bottle in the small hole in the center of the cave wall, the only difference was that the outer layer of this jar was covered by a layer of hair, yes, yes, it was indeed covered by hair
"Don't touch it, it's a seal, carefully touch the seal and lure the dryad back," Nanxian said as he subconsciously blocked Cheng Yanxin behind him
"This immortal, help the little one," said Tanzi
"Who are you, and how do you know who I am?"
"The small one is this ancient tree that has practiced for thousands of years, and naturally you can see your identity, and the girl next to you is also a noble person with a golden armor god body, and her body faintly emits golden light, and it is difficult to know it."
"Are you saying that if I have some god-man body, will I still die?" Cheng Yanxin asked excitedly when he heard this
The jar replied honestly: "This ...... It's still going to be, it's just not that easy to die."
"Ah~ Then what's the use of this" Cheng Yanxin pouted
The altar saw that Cheng Yanxin was unhappy, and just said again
"But this golden armor god man does not have the body protection of ordinary people, as long as you two rescue the little one, the little one will tell you the secret of this golden armor god man"
"Deal!"
Nanxian doted and gently looked at Cheng Yanxin, who was smiling, turned his head and asked coldly at the altar
"You say you're a dryad, but who is keeping you here, and who is the one who is making trouble in the village?"
"If you go back to the immortals, the person who locked up the villain is the same person who is the monster, or to be precise, she is already a monster who is not a human or a demon."
"You mean you know her?"
"Yes, she is the one the villain wants to protect for the rest of her life"
"Why are you getting more and more confused about this?" Cheng Yanxin asked with some suspicion
Nanxian shook Cheng Yanxin's hand to comfort her, and motioned to the tree demon in the altar with his eyes to continue
"This matter starts from a year ago, when the Shenshu Temple was still crowded and bustling, and Rong Hua rested in the Shenshu Temple alone with his baggage.
Rong Hua has been muttering something when she sleeps at night, her face is full of happiness, generally people who come to this temple are dissatisfied or have a request, I have never seen anyone have this kind of expression, and when I was curious, I turned into a human form and approached her to take a closer look.
But my movement woke her up, and she immediately sat up and looked at me vigilantly, and I pretended to be a passer-by to communicate with her, and we became acquainted with each other over time.
One day she suddenly asked me why I didn't leave because I was passing by, and I said that I was waiting for my family to pick her up because I was entangled in it, and then I asked her why she didn't leave. Her face was filled with happiness again, and she said that she was waiting for her husband.
It turned out that she was a young lady from a large family in Beijing, and one day she met a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam, and she made an appointment with the scholar to come back to marry her after the exam.
However, Rong Hua's family did not agree, so she escaped by going up the mountain to pray for blessings with her family, and wrote a letter to tell the scholar, who also replied that he would come to the temple to pick her up. Unexpectedly, although the scholar was quite talented, he was a villain who did not believe in his word, and he won the championship in one fell swoop and married the emperor's favorite little princess.
For a while, the news spread to the streets and alleys, and Rong Hua couldn't stand such a blow and committed suicide with hatred.
And I was greedy for a while and wanted to interfere with the life and death of mortals, I gave my guts to Rong Hua to bring her back to life, but although Rong Hua was alive, he became a monster who was not human or demon, and Rong Hua who woke up vowed to kill the scholar, but the scholar lived in the palace with layers of nodules, and Rong Hua couldn't enter, so he could only kill people here to vent his anger. ”
"Then why were you arrested?"
"Because I know that doing this will not actually reduce Rong Hua's pain, I want to persuade her to let go and persuade her to stop, but Rong Hua doesn't listen at all, I am not Rong Hua's opponent without Nedan and I am sealed in this jar by Rong Hua."
Cheng Yan thought to himself, "Tut-tut, what a miserable girl, no, it should be a miserable tree demon!" ”
"How can we get you out?"
"You can't save him, don't think about leaving anyone" As he spoke, he saw that everyone's girlfriend was Rong Hua suddenly appeared in the cave, Rong Hua turned his hair into tens of thousands of rattans and attacked them towards Nanxian.
Nanxian's own martial arts are really not covered, even with a Cheng Yanxin, he can easily dodge Rong Hua's attack, Rong Hua saw this and launched a ruthless attack, with words in his mouth, Nanxian suddenly felt a little powerless, and then the corners of his mouth oozed blood, and then slowly put down Cheng Yanxin to stand firm.
"Do you think it's really some kind of porridge for you to drink? I have long seen that you are not a normal person, and the porridge contains the essence and blood of the people I absorbed, and you immortals will be eaten back if you drink it! ”
The dryad felt that he couldn't sit still, so he used his last strength to send Nanxian and the others out of the cave
"You guys get out of here!"
"Can you come out?" Cheng Yanxin asked in surprise: "If you can come out, what are you still pretentious in it!" ”
"Don't say more, I really won't live long this time, if I can please save Rong Hua"
After saying that, the dryad's body began to become transparent little by little, and Rong Hua ran out screaming
"No, you can't die, you have to stay with me, no, you can't die......"
The dryad stroked Rong Hua's hideous cheek with a hand that was becoming transparent a little
"Rong Hua, listen to me this time and let them go, you can't kill immortals, then your sin will be too great, God's punishment is merciless, Rong Hua, let it go, I'll marry you in the next life, okay......"
The dryad seemed to have something to say, but before he could finish speaking, it had already dissipated with the wind, and Rong Hua fell to the ground
"Okay, I'm willing, but I'm too resentful, and I can't be reincarnated for a long time."
Cheng Yanxin felt that his nose was sour
Nanxian protected Cheng Yanxin behind him and comforted him with a sentence of "You mourn"
"Forget it, let's go"
After speaking, Rong Hua walked back to the cave alone.
Cheng Yanxin tugged at Nanxian's sleeve
"Mr. Nan, let's help her"
"I know you can't bear it, but we're actually just passers-by, we shouldn't interfere too much, the game has its own plot direction"
"Yes, Mr. Nan is right, but didn't their fate start with passers-by? And most importantly, it's really about where the game is going! ”
"What do you mean?"
"It's my favorite game, I'm sure there aren't any NPCs like ponies in the game, something must be wrong!"
"Well, yes, but what do you mean?"
"Oh, Mr. Nan, you promise me first, anyway, we won't be able to go back to reality for a while, in order to ensure that the game is going, let's go to the capital to have a look."
"Good"
"Great, then let's hurry back to the inn to rest and get ready to go!"
"Wait, you haven't said anything about your favorite game?"
"Oh, Mr. Nan, I'm so tired, I can't hear what you say," Cheng Yanxin said as he ran towards the village, "Mr. Nan, I'll go back and rest first, you walk slowly on the road!" ”
Nanxian smiled helplessly, and chased after him.
