032 Dryad Lingtong

Although he couldn't figure out why Twilight was not there, Lin Xi was not in the mood to look for it everywhere, and besides, this Taoist temple was poor and white, I believe that the master and apprentice would not mind her staying here.

Thinking like this, Lin Xi returned to the slightly depressed courtyard, sat down at the stone table, took out pastries and kettles from his bag, and hummed a song while eating quite comfortably, as if he was on vacation. However, this kind of idleness also makes people easy to get sleepy, especially when it is still delicious to eat and drink, just when Lin Xi was holding his head and feeling a little drowsy, a "huh" suddenly sounded in his ears.

There is a demonic qi Taoist temple located at the top of Xiaoluo Peak, and the mountain is full of fierce beasts, except for the master and apprentice who can resist the sword, no one dares to come at all. So when he heard this voice that did not belong to Xiangshan's master and apprentice, Lin Xi almost subconsciously pulled out the Cold Moon Sword and stabbed it back, and then quickly turned around.

However, the unexpected thing is...... The sword pierced into the air, and there was no one behind her, and there was still silence in the Demon Qi Dao Temple.

Lin Xi frowned: "Who?" Come out! ”

A gust of wind blew, blowing down the yellow leaves, and the Taoist temple was still quiet, so quiet that it almost made Lin Xi think that it was just an illusion just now, and the voice sounded again: "Who are you?" How did it end up here? ”

"......" It was really not an illusion, Lin Xi's hand holding the sword tightened again, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am a friend of Xiangshan, and I came to find him." ”

"Little Xiangshan's friend?" The voice paused, and then chuckled: "These two masters and apprentices are really the same, except for demons, they can also make friends with demon clans...... Little girl, come closer and give you a look at Grandpa Tree. ”

Grandpa Tree!? Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and when he looked left and right, he only found the plane tree next to the stone table...... That sound, is it coming from this plane tree? Of course, the tree can't speak, and the only explanation is that the tree has become a spirit, and it can be regarded as in the ranks of the demon clan.

After realizing this, Lin Xi couldn't help but laugh a little, Xiangshan master and apprentice not only made a lot of friends with the demon clan, but even raised demons in the Taoist temple, so they were embarrassed to declare themselves to be Taoist priests who eliminated demons. But it also shows that games can only be games, and they can never be reality.

But since it's a demon clan, you shouldn't have to worry about anything, plus if there's anything...... Xuanluo should protect her in time, right?

Relying on this, Lin Xi no longer scruples and walked to the plane tree: "It's you, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a white hand suddenly stretched out from the still thick trunk, and he came over flexibly and grabbed Lin Xi's wrist and pulled it violently. Seeing that he was about to hit the tree for no reason, Lin Xi was about to struggle, but he fell into the tree in an instant before he could move, followed by darkness, and it was only after a long time that his eyes became bright again.

At the feet are the roots, the trunks of the trees around them, and the vines hanging in the air. Lin Xi didn't feel any discomfort, and he was very sure that this was not somewhere else, but it was the plane tree's body. Her impression of the demon has always been just like Xuanluo, who can fly, transform and spell, and she didn't expect that this plane tree could also pull outsiders into her body...... Is it inconvenient to transform into a humanoid form?

After observing the environment of the location, Lin Xi fixed his eyes on the white-haired man in green who was standing with his back to her not far away. Although he also has white hair, compared to the person he saw at the foot of Tianyu Mountain before, he can clearly distinguish that one is really old and has gray and fluffy hair, and the other is white before the old man for some reason, and the hair is still hard and shiny, showing his real age.

No wonder he calls himself Grandpa Tree...... Lin Xi smiled helplessly, stepped forward and shouted very obediently: "Hello Grandpa Shu." ”

Hearing this, the man slowly turned around, his white eyebrows and white beard wrinkled, and he was even older than Lin Xi imagined.

The man squinted his eyes and looked at her carefully, and then he opened his mouth and smiled: "It turned out to be a little cat demon, and it still has the breath of the old snake demon on its body, no wonder it will make friends with Xiao Xiangshan." ”

After talking to himself like this, he said: "I am the 10,000-year-old sycamore tree demon Lingtong, I don't know what to call the kitten demon." ”

"My name is Duanmuxi." Lin Xi's face was still as calm as promised, but his heart exploded - it turned out to be a 10,000-year-old tree demon, one level higher than Xuanluo, wouldn't that be much more powerful? I don't know if there is an unexpected gain this time, if there is, then thank Luffy for their pursuit.

"There is a wooden character, and it is also fateful." Lingtong smiled slightly, and asked again, "Do you know where this is?" ”

Lin Xi asked, "Isn't it in your tree?" ”

Lingtong really shook his head: "No, this is under the tree, and it is the place where the spiritual energy is left...... It is only here that I can see what is going on in the hearts of others, no matter who they are. ”

"......" Lin Xi was embarrassed, he was indirectly telling her, did he know everything she was thinking in her heart?

Before she could think of the wording, Lingtong nodded again: "Exactly." ”

Lin Xi held her forehead, this was really embarrassing, and she still had something to say after that.

"That's very good." Lingtong continued to smile and said, "If the windfall you want is to get more demonic power or want something more powerful, I can satisfy you, just see if you are willing to help me do something." ”

Really? Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "I am willing, Grandpa Shu, please speak." ”

Lingtong bowed slightly: "That's very good...... Although I am a 10,000-year-old tree demon, I am not as powerful as the old snake demon Xuanluo, but he should be much more powerful than me. It took me a thousand years to become a spirit from a tree, and it took a thousand years to become a demon from a spirit, although I finally learned the art of transformation, but because I rely on the aura under this ground to become a demon, even if I can take on a human form, I can't leave this place, and I can't walk around like Xuanluo to learn spells, and it's just some small tricks like insight into people's hearts and calling for wind and rain. And after I became a demon, the body of the tree is not just watering and fertilizing, but needs to take a thousand-year-old meat mushroom every once in a while. If I don't take it on time, my body will grow old and die, and I will lose my place to live, even if I have become a demon, I will still be able to die. ”

It took a long time to digest his words, and Lin Xi nodded understandingly: "So Grandpa Shu wants me to get that thousand-year-old meat mushroom?" ”

"Exactly." Lingtong said a little helplessly: "The thousand-year-old meat mushroom will only appear once in ten years, and it is usually the Taoist of this temple who goes to fetch it for me, but I don't know why this time Twilight Sea has not returned for a few days with Xiaoxiangshan." Seeing that in two days, the thousand-year-old meat mushroom will disappear, and out of helplessness, I can only ask you for help. ”

"Okay, I'll fetch it." Lin Xi responded without hesitation, and then remembered to ask: "Where does the thousand-year-old meat mushroom grow?" ”

Lingtong's expression changed slightly, and then he sighed: "It's in the cave behind the Taoist temple, it's just that the thousand-year-old meat mushroom is a spiritual creature that can be rejuvenated and rejuvenated, and there are spirit beasts guarding it...... Little cat demon, you are a little shallow, I don't know if you can beat it. ”

Sure enough, the good thing is not easy to do, Lin Xi sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that he could detect it anyway, so he put his worry on his face without concealing it: "I'm also worried about this, but there is not much time, I am still willing to give it a try." ”

Lingtong looked at her, and saw that she was really firm, so he nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay, the only hope at the moment is on you, so you can only give it a try." But you Grandpa Tree, I don't want you to be sent to death, the demon power and treasure promised before will be given to you in advance, so that you can be more confident in taking out the thousand-year-old meat mushroom. ”

Lin Xi was immediately overjoyed: "If it can be like this, then it would be great, Xiaoxi thanked Grandpa Shu first." ”

Lingtong shook his head with a smile and beckoned to her: "Come, come with me to see the treasures I have collected over the years, I don't need them anyway, you can pick a few at will." ”

"How many more?" Lin Xi hurriedly followed with some excitement, hoping that those treasures would not be automatically bound at that time, so that she could sell them for money, although it would not become her own money, but it could be exchanged for bonuses, right?

At this time, Lingtong, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and said, "Little wealth fan! ”

"Huh?" Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she thought that she had forgotten that he could understand people's hearts, and Xiao wanted to sell those treasures to make money under his nose.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi couldn't help covering his cheeks - he was really embarrassed.
