Chapter 221: Moving
"After this place is known, I'm afraid it won't be long before other people will find it, and then it's too late to leave."
Those seemingly ordinary herbs also seemed to have spirituality at this moment, as if they understood her words, there was no wind but they were also swaying slightly branches and leaves, gently rubbing in their palms, as if to comfort her and make her not care, the corners of the girl's mouth couldn't help but slightly curl up a knowing smile.
Accustomed to the experience, she knew exactly what would happen if she helped the teenager. Soon there will be a lot of people with evil intentions around here.
Their purposes may vary, but most of them are just greedy people who want wealth or power, or someone in the family who is seriously ill and wants medicine, or some other righteous person who hears that there are demons and ghosts here and come to kill them.
She had seen so much of this that whenever her place was known, she would immediately move out and look for the next place of seclusion, even though the previous place had many good memories that she had to give up.
This is also the basic vigilance that a monster should maintain after the herb becomes a refinement, and everything that is not there, or because of luck or nostalgia, should now be in the stomach of a person or a ghost.
In fact, this truth was once taught to her by an old ginseng grandfather, and many hiding and transformation spells were also taught to her.
But later, the ginseng grandfather himself accidentally made a mistake, delayed time in order to save a dying person, and was accidentally captured by a Taoist priest who saw through his true body. Until now, there has been no news, and I am afraid that there are many murders.
But she also did not regret her actions, including guiding the teenager to save his mother, as well as the many people she had saved before, and she believed that the same was true of the ginseng grandfather.
As herbs, they are born with a penchant for healing, and she enjoys the sense of accomplishment that comes from overcoming various illnesses. It was as if it was her natural calling, and she gradually got used to it and enjoyed it.
The only regret is that I finally found a good place to live, and now I have to move again.
At this moment, a dull old man's voice came from overhead, and several thick branches swayed slightly.
"Little girl, are you leaving?"
"Well, Grandpa Tree, I'm leaving again!" The girl raised her head and smiled, "Maybe there will be those righteous people or some other ghosts here soon, you are not in good health when you are old, so you should be careful!" ”
"Haha, the old man is not afraid of those guys who can only bully the soft and fear the hard." I saw that the trunk of the largest ancient tree next to the bamboo house seemed to have a huge opening as a mouth, slowly opening and closing like a human mouth, and an old man's dull voice came from it.
"If you dare to provoke the old man, use these branches to whip their butts, let them know that the old man is not something to be bullied casually!"
Hearing these jokes, Qingdai covered her mouth and snickered, her eyes curved as beautiful as a crescent moon.
She knew that this Grandpa Tree was not talking big, the ancient trees here were often hundreds or thousands of years old, although the cultivation of plants grew much slower than ordinary monsters, but the accumulation of time was also considerable, I am afraid that ordinary people are not opponents at all.
The old tree then continued to speak, and sighed regretfully, "But little girl, you're gone, and no one will help us see these problems of our old guys, and it's really a bit of a headache......"
"Don't worry, I'll come back to see Grandpa Tree in the future." Qing Dai whispered with relief.
"That's okay, little girl, just take care of yourself. We old guys have survived for so many years, and we have long been accustomed to these little problems. Gu Shu said this, and suddenly mentioned, "By the way, do you have any plans for where you are going next?" ”
Qing Dai was slightly stunned, tilted her head and thought about it for a while, but she didn't have a clue, she shook her head and said, "Not yet, anyway, I'll just take a stroll around, make more friends, and see where it is suitable for me to live." ”
That being said, but in fact, she also knew that there were not many places suitable for them to live in seclusion, and she had to avoid the places where humans often set foot in them, and she also had to be careful not to be targeted by those big monsters. The slightest carelessness can lead to disaster, which really bothers her.
Finding a place to live is really troublesome.
"If you don't have a plan, I heard some friends mention that there is a ghost town called Dragon City nearby that seems to be quite a doorway, and it may be suitable for you to live."
Gu Shu's words suddenly made Qing Dai a little puzzled.
"Dragon City?"
She vaguely remembered hearing the name of this ghost town, which seemed to have been quite famous before.
It's not a good reputation, after all, most of the ghost towns that make a name for themselves here are.
The Ghost King Dragon King has been famous for a long time, and thousands of years of Taoist cultivation have made him proud of the crowd and above all demons. In this area, the name has almost become a taboo, and no one dares to mention it easily, for fear that the boundless power of the law will hear these discussions and ask for trouble.
Of course, this is quite similar to the effect of mortal parents scaring children who don't sleep in the middle of the night and saying that tigers will come to eat crying children, but it can also be seen how terrifying the strength of the other party should be to make these ghosts who are almost not afraid of heaven and earth afraid of this.
And what should the Dragon City look like under its control?
In fact, if she rashly entered those ghost towns with her identity as a herbal spirit, if she accidentally revealed her identity, it was hard to say whether she would be targeted by some vicious demons.
For the sake of her own life, and for the sake of the children of the same race she is raising now, she has to weigh more and not act rashly.
Gu Shu could naturally guess her hesitation, and he didn't force it, but said, "That ghost city has recently opened a ghost market that is also open to the wandering demon clans from the outside world, and it is said that there are many treasures for sale in it. Aren't you looking for something to fatten up the herbs, you can take a look, maybe you can find something you need, and by the way, you can also see what this Dragon City is like, I've heard a lot of old friends praise it. If you really don't think it's appropriate, you can say it......"
"Well, thank you Grandpa Tree!"
Qing Dai also nodded when she heard this, and smiled sweetly.
I thought to myself, anyway, I have nothing to do recently, if I have time in the future, I might as well go and take a look.
