Chapter Eighty-Three: Wood Spirits

"Boss! Pay. ”

"Oh! Here it comes! Sir, twenty-six in total, you can give twenty-five! ”

Hearing Dewey's shout, the proprietress immediately came out and laughed.

At this moment, Dewey suddenly turned around and saw a tightly wrapped child coming in through the door.

It's September! Moreover, this Shangma City is still close to the south, and now how can a person not feel strange when he is wearing autumn and winter clothes!

And the little boy in front of him, although Dewey saw his face, he could feel that he was afraid, or a little apprehensive.

"Komaki! What are you doing here! Isn't there enough food to eat! Come! I'll go get you some more. ”

As she spoke, the proprietress didn't care about her husband's suggestive eyes, she directly took out a meal from the rice cooker, and brought a plate of freshly fried dishes from the side, just like the little boy in front of her and handed it over.

"Thank you, Aunt Wang! I'm full! I'm here to give you this. ”

As he spoke, the little boy took out a fist-sized mushroom from his bosom.

"What is this!"

At this moment, the proprietress squatted down and said a little strangely.

"I don't know, I picked it up from the mountain, I just remembered that I found this from the mountain yesterday, Aunt Wang! It's good that you're holding this! Can be detoxified. ”

"Silly boy! It's just a strange mushroom! Aunt Wang, don't! If you haven't eaten enough, do you want to eat a little more? ”

As she spoke, Aunt Wang squatted down and wanted to touch the little boy's head.

"Lijuan!"

Seeing this, the boss yelled and rushed over and pulled her wife aside.

"You still dare to touch him with your hands? I'm tired of living! ”

"What's wrong! Do you really believe those rumors? Komaki is just sick! Tell you Wang Ertian, you don't care about the old lady's affairs. ”

Seeing her husband pull herself over, the proprietress suddenly became angry.

"Fart! You're my mother-in-law, and I won't allow you to touch him, whether it's true or not. ”

Who knew that the boss shouted even louder than the boss lady.

At the same time, he turned to the boy and said.

"Komaki! Uncle Wang, please beg you! Later! Don't come! ”

"Uncle Wang... I know. ”

At this moment, the little boy's face was also tightly covered, but a pair of innocent eyes were revealed, which looked extremely pitiful.

Hearing the boss say this, the little boy couldn't help but have a little sneer.

At the same time, he retrieved the strange-looking mushroom that he held up in the air with his hand.

"It is! Cloud rattan mushroom! A first-order high-grade elixir. ”

Looking at the mushroom in his hand, Dewey suddenly exclaimed with a gaze in his eyes.

I saw that on the fist-sized brown sugar-colored mushroom, there were still some speckled white ripples, and when I smelled it carefully, there was a faint light fragrance, which was an elixir.

"Little friend! Can you give me the cloud vine mushroom in your hand! I can buy it for money, and you can buy it as much as you want. ”

At this moment, Dewey crouched down and smiled at the little boy.

"Sir! Be careful, this kid is an ominous person! ”

Suddenly, the owner of the hotel hurriedly shouted, and the boy in front of him, known as Xiao Mu, was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back after hearing these four words, preventing Dewey from approaching him.

"Sir! Take it if you want! As for how much it is, you just let Aunt Wang speak! I'm leaving! ”

After saying that, the little boy ran back desperately with a cigarette, leaving only Dewey and the owner and lady of the hotel with a puzzled face.

"The hostess! I want this mushroom, you can make a price! Whatever you want! ”

Leaning less, Dewey turned to the boss lady and smiled.

"The gentleman laughed at a mushroom! If you want it, take it! But you have to pay for this meal! ”

The proprietress waved her hand and said as she took the dishes back to the kitchen.

"Huh! It's a matter of course to pay for dinner, but I didn't pay you for taking this mushroom, so I owe you a favor! Before I leave Shangma City, I will try to repay you this favor. ”

"Sir! You're really persistent, aren't you just a mushroom? There are so many kinds of mountains on the mountain! ”

The proprietress looked inexplicable, and the person in front of her was really strange in her eyes!

"Huh! That's it, this mushroom is of little use to you, but to me it is of great use to you, by the way, I want to ask you a question, and I hope you can answer it for me. ”

"It's about Komaki!" The proprietress asked suspiciously.

"Exactly! That little boy must be quite poor in his outfit! Otherwise, you don't have to do this and send him food, I want to help him if you can, money is naturally not a problem. ”

"Really!"

Hearing that Dewey wanted to help Komaki, the boss and the proprietress were surprised in unison.

"Two days! What do you shout! Don't you hate him all the time! ”

Seeing that her husband was also so surprised, the proprietress was also a little surprised, you must know that they had quarreled with each other in the past two formats because of Xiao Mu's problems.

"Huh! I care about him, too! But I'm even more afraid of you! I know that the rumors may be false, but I'd rather believe them than believe them, and what will I do if something happens to you! ”

The bald boss touched his head a little embarrassedly and chuckled at his wife.

"What the hell is going on!"

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Dewey was even more puzzled.

"Huh! Mr! If you really want to help Komaki, just sit down and listen to me! ”

"Huh? Good! ”

Hearing the proprietress of the house, Dewey sat aside, and the little Taoist priest who lived in the mountains also saw the scene just now, so he also walked over curiously.

"Xiao Mu was originally a very sunny child, and everyone liked him, but God didn't have long eyes!"

Speaking of this, the proprietress couldn't help but show a trace of sympathy and compassion in her eyes.

"Komaki! His name is Qin Mu! I'm 9 years old this year! His parents were both medicine pickers and hunters in the mountains, and they made a living by selling medicinal herbs and hunting.

Unfortunately, a year ago, his father was surrounded by wild wolves in the mountains while hunting, and finally died so that there was not even a scum left.

Only his mother was left alone to support him, but unfortunately his mother finally became ill from hard work and died three months ago! Originally, we didn't have any children, so we thought about raising him.

But who knows, on the day his mother died, there was a heavy thunderstorm and a sudden heavy rain, and we people helped him bury his mother and were about to go back.

For a while, he was naturally caught off guard by this heavy rain, and as a result, he was accidentally left on the mountain.

It was several days before he returned from the mountain in tattered clothes.

And the rumor of this ominous person was also spread at this time. ”

Speaking of this, the proprietress turned her head to look at the old class and continued.

"After Komaki came back, I hurriedly washed him, only to find that layers of skin slowly grew behind him.

I didn't care about it at first, but who knew that it had only been a day for those skin to slowly harden and darken, so I wanted a layer of dry wood to cover his back.

Later, my husband and I were frightened and hurriedly took him to the doctor, the Shangma City Hospital was not good, and we went to the big city again, but no matter how we checked, the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with the child, even if he took medicine, it was useless, and the skin on the child's body had spread like this.

Later, we had no choice but to bring him back, eh! It's not that we don't want to take him to a better hospital, it's because we've spent most of our savings and we really don't have any money.

But after coming back, although Xiao Mu's appearance was covered by me, he was still seen.

Later, it was rumored that this child was a disaster, an unknown person, and his parents were killed by him, and now it is finally the case, and whoever stays with him will be killed. ”

Speaking of this, the corners of the proprietress eyes were a little moist.

Originally, she still thought that when Xiao Mu recovered from her illness, she would take her as her own son.

But even she can't resist the rumors in the neighborhood, once she accepts it, those rumors will naturally lead to her, let alone doing this business, even if she goes out, she will be avoided far away.

"The whole body is! Gradually turn into wood! ”

Hearing the proprietress say this, Dewey couldn't help but think carefully, how could this sentence be very familiar.

"That's right! Jin Ling Zhanzun! ”

Suddenly, Dewey remembered one of his opponents in his previous life, Jin Ling Zhanzun!

He is one of the five great spirits of heaven and earth, the golden spirit.

At first, he was just a small shepherd boy in the mortal world, but later he strayed into a secret realm and ate an elixir full of spiritual power, which stimulated the innate origin in his body.

However, because he didn't know how to cultivate, the golden spiritual power in his body slowly accumulated, and finally a layer of keratin formed in his body, and that keratin slowly turned into a layer of iron skin.

Later, he was disliked by his parents and kicked out of the house, and he wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the lake in frustration, but he happened to be saved by his master, and later brought back to the sect for careful counseling, and in just two hundred years, he became the existence of the overlord of the cultivation realm, and his master also became a top sect from a second-rate sect.

Even if Dewey was known as the Heavenly Madman in his last life, he fought with him for three days, and the landslide and the ground cracked before he was able to defeat him by one move, the defense of the golden spirit body was too strong, and Dewey barely won by relying on his lifeless fighting style.

I have to say that two hundred years of cultivation has such strength, which is really enviable, and it also makes people have to sigh at the strength of the innate spirit body.

If Dewey guessed correctly, then Xiao Mu should have stayed on the mountain and accidentally ingested an elixir after getting lost with the proprietress and them, because the stimulation of spiritual power opened the innate origin in his body, so that there was no release, and the skin was formed on the surface of the body.

And according to the signs that the proprietress said, this Xiao Mu is very likely to be one of the five innate spirit bodies, the wood spirit body.
