When they looked closer, they realized that although the body of the human-faced tree was the same pale green color as the tree spirit, it had a pretty face with peach cheeks and an apricot face. Its limbs are also close to humanoid, and the only difference from a human is that the skin on its body is mottled with raised bark, which makes her look a little strange and terrifying. What's even more surprising is that she still has a high-end three-proof outdoor sports watch on her wrist, apparently a traveler who strayed into this place and was killed by this monster.

"Beauty, you're still very fashionable." Ding Lingxiu looked at her watch and said kindly.

The human-faced tree glared at him angrily, his face furious.

"Although I know that you are a demon with a story, everyone has his difficulties, you are a demon, I am a demon hunter, we are destined to become enemies." Ding Lingxiu said indifferently.

The human-faced tree was still glaring at Ding Lingxiu, he smiled, dipped his slender middle finger in a small porcelain bottle with a drop of blood inside, and slowly pressed his finger to the center of the human-faced tree's eyebrows.

The blood entered the center of the eyebrows, and in an instant, all the demonic qi on the human face tree gathered together and merged into the center of the eyebrows.

The anger of the human-faced tree also disappeared, and his eyes became clear, and his lips moved, and he wanted to speak but couldn't.

Ding Lingxiu clasped his hands together and silently recited the mantra:

"Humanity is degraded, and ghosts are common. The Holy Spirit is universal, and the death is auspicious. ”

After saying that, there was a faint glow at the center of his eyebrows, and the light faded. The human-faced tree suddenly sobbed, and the faint cry was mournful and clear. The Hundred Ghost Diagram floated in the air, and a sentence slowly appeared on the page that was opened, that is, the soul summoning of the human-faced tree.

"Human-faced tree, the evil thoughts in your heart have been dispelled, and your soul will be returned to the Holy Realm, do you have anything else to say before that?"

Ding Lingxiu looked at the human-faced tree with a kind and sympathetic gaze.

"Little Lord, thank you, I am willing to return to the Holy Realm." The human face tree is earnest.

"Okay, before that, please tell me the resentment that has accumulated in your heart for a long time, and let it dissipate."

The human-faced tree paused and continued:

"Yes, little lord. Seven hundred years ago, I was the daughter of a rich family and fell in love with a poor man. We have been playing together since we were children, so we can say that we are childhood sweethearts, and we love each other even more when we grow up. But our love was thwarted by my family in every way, and my parents insisted on driving him away when they found out about our relationship. In desperation, we had to choose elopement for the sake of love. After some twists and turns, we found a remote village and lived a happy life of a man farming and a woman weaving. But the good times didn't last long, and another rich boy who had been engaged to me was greedy for my beauty, and after learning that we had eloped, he had been secretly pursuing our whereabouts. Finally, one day, when my husband was out farming, this demon came to me with his family and tried to forcibly occupy me. Unexpectedly, this mad brute became angry and cut off the head of my corpse and buried it under the tree in front of the house, leaving only a headless female corpse for my husband. ”

When the human-faced tree came to this, he couldn't cry anymore, and the resentment and sadness of a hundred years were still not dispersed.

"Don't be so sad, after all, it's been so long." Xia Xianyao wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and she was extremely sympathetic in her heart.

"And then?" Ding Lingxiu patiently listened to the human-faced tree.

"Later, my husband found my body, buried me, and vowed to seek revenge on the rich boy. But he was helpless, and he was eventually killed by traitors. When my ghost knew about it, her resentment deepened, and she couldn't be reincarnated, or even meet her husband, who had become a ghost. He lingered in front of the tree day and night, and this tree has been spiritual for thousands of years, so he tricked me into using its spiritual power to demonize, to take revenge on the rich boy, and it told me that I can also find my husband's soul with the power of magic with my actual physical body, and meet my husband's soul before his soul is reincarnated. I hated that beast for a long time, so I believed the words of this tree and demonized it into a human-faced dryad. I borrowed its magic power and found the rich boy, I wanted to kill him alone, it was enough to avenge myself and my husband. But I didn't want to, the demonic power of the tree controlled my will, and the night I found the rich son, it killed the rich boy and dozens of children in a family, devoured their hearts, and sealed my will from then on, and it continued to make waves in the world. ”

"Then you didn't get to see your husband in the end?" Xia Xianyao looked at the poor monster in front of her sadly.

"Yes, for a hundred years, I have been watching this dryad kill innocent mortals every day, but I can't do anything about it, I can only silently miss my dead husband."

After the human-faced tree finished speaking, he was overwhelmed with grief, and the pain that had been suppressed for a hundred years was finally poured out, but the emotions that had been consumed by the years still gathered into trickling tears, flowing down the mottled bark. Unwillingness, resentment, and longing can all fade with the passage of time, only true love will not fade for a hundred years.

"Sooner or later, I will help you fulfill your wishes, and before that, may you cleanse your hearts and minds in the Sanctuary and achieve positive results." Ding Lingxiu said.

Although Ding Lingxiu also felt a little sad for the human-faced tree, he looked at the time and calmly recited the soul-summoning of the human-faced tree on the Hundred Ghost Diagram:

"It's hard to tell the story of the mandarin ducks. The tree spirit is charming, and the human face is hesitant. ”

After finishing speaking, the teary-eyed human-faced tree turned into a ray of green light, merging into the picture of the hundred ghosts, and the ink drawing of the human-faced tree appeared on the blank page.

"I really can't imagine that every monster in the Hundred Ghost Diagram has such an unusual experience." Xia Xianyao was full of emotion, and her eyes were also flashing with tears.

"Well, it's almost late at night, and we should go back too." Ding Lingxiu put away the Hundred Ghost Diagram and said calmly.

"Huh? By the way, you've included all the human face trees in the Hundred Ghost Diagram, what should I do with my human face tree species? Xia Xianyao suddenly realized this, and looked at Ding Lingxiu with wide eyes.

"I didn't ask her if she was so sad just now, but apparently she wasn't there yet. At the end of each hundred years, the Human-faced Tree will produce two seeds, into which his own primordial spirit will be infused to regenerate itself. And the other seed is its hundred years of cultivation. When the seed that contains the primordial god grows up, it will swallow this seed that carries a hundred years of cultivation and gain more powerful demonic power. In other words, although I promised you, I will only give you this seed of a hundred years of cultivation. Ding Lingxiu said.

"Of course I know this, I just want that seed of a hundred years of cultivation." Xia Xianyao shouted anxiously, for fear that Ding Lingxiu would break his promise.

"But you can't rob it, you have to ask for the consent of the human face tree herself, you see how pitiful she is for a girl." Ding Lingxiu looked helpless.

"Wow, no wonder you listened to the human-faced tree in front of me, it turned out that it was just to move me and make me embarrassed to take its seeds, right?" Xia Xianyao looked angrily at Ding Lingxiu's calm face in the moonlight.

"You're thinking too much about this, I don't mean anything else, but I really want to ask for the consent of the human face tree, so let's call it out tomorrow, and you two can negotiate." Ding Lingxiu smiled and waved his hand.

"You...... You liar, you're mad at me, anyway, even if you rob me, you have to get the seeds. ”

"Look at you, why is this seed so important to you? You just want to devour it to increase your spiritual power, but compared to other elixirs, the hundred-year cultivation of this human-faced tree is just very difficult to obtain, and the effect of enhancing spiritual power is not very good. ”

Although Ding Lingxiu said this, what he really cared about in his heart was the true identity of the young girl around him, although Xia Xianyao had not revealed a trace of demonic aura all along, but Ding Lingxiu felt abnormal. The demon hunter fights with the demon all day long, and even Ding Lingxiu himself does not dare to guarantee that there is no demonic energy on his body, but the demon hunter in front of him is actually full of spiritual energy, which is extremely pure, as if it was deliberately disguised.

If it was really the same as he was worried about, the girl in front of him was a demon with an extremely high cultivation, and if she ate the hundred-year-old cultivation of the Human Face Tree, she would probably immediately turn against herself and wait for the opportunity to kill.

After Ding Lingxiu asked, Xia Xianyao didn't answer for a long time.

Under the moonlight, Xia Xianyao's eyes became ethereal, and she was silent for a long time before muttering:

"My loved ones are in danger, and the seed of the human face tree is the medicine, so even if I risk my life, I have to get it."

Although Xia Xianyao's voice was very flat, her expression could not be pretended at all, but the kind of indescribable grief, after finishing speaking, she folded her hands and closed her eyes to make a wish to the stars.

"Are you making a wish?"

"Yes, tonight's astrological wish is very spiritual!"

Ding Lingxiu didn't speak, took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and looked up at the dark blue night sky. He didn't know much about stargazing, but Xia Xianyao's familiar words made him feel so much at the moment.

"What about you? And why are you here? Xia Xianyao didn't seem to have come back to her senses, and asked indifferently.

"Me? Because I'm a demon hunter. ”

Ding Lingxiu replied lightly, but the memories appeared in an instant, and the past was vivid.
