Chapter 41: A Sudden Visitor
Although he felt a little surprised, he still had a smile on his cheeks, because it was really rare to see such a warm scene in this eerie and terrifying demon night forest.
At the beginning, the blood of the Ancestral Demon Emperor was sprinkled on the two ancient trees, creating the Yin and Yang Tree Demons, was it a godsend or was the Ancestral Demon intentional?
"According to the ancient tree demon, he still needs the land to bear, that is, he can't get rid of the taproot, so how did he and the 'demon woman' get married? He thought in confusion.
"Although their mother and I have practiced for tens of thousands of years, we still can't get rid of the earth's qi offerings, and naturally we can't leave the taproot and move ......around freely," the ancient tree demon said this, looking sideways at the babbling who was squatting on the ground, and smiled faintly, as if he was a little envious of his freedom and detachment.
The three little demons at the feet of the ancient tree demon, although they were a little afraid of babbling, were very interested in him, and they kept staring at him when they lay on the stump.
"Squeak" The old man pointed and babbled, and turned to the three little demons to 'squeak' and speak, but he didn't understand it at all. "If I don't have to worry, I can go to the babbling party," he said in turn.
After all, the three little demons were childlike at heart, and when they heard the old dryad say this, they got up and walked towards the babbling with their dry yellow limbs like wheat straw, and surrounded him, shaking their heads. Although their bodies were almost three times the size of Babbling, their bodies looked much thinner than Babbling, and there was no trace of spirituality.
Babbling was already indifferent to the three little demons, but when he saw them dangling around, he felt even more disgusted, stood up, pouted, and raised his arms, as if he wanted to do it.
"Hmph!" Seeing this, Xiao Li hurriedly coughed pretendedly. Babbling and looking up, Lai Li took the opportunity to glare at him, signaling him not to cause trouble.
Seeing this, she had to hang her arms and squat aside.
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the three little ones with a smile on his face. After watching it for a while, he shook his head a little bitterly, and said, "Although I and Shu Po have been husband and wife for 10,000 years, we are limited by our roots and have never seen each other. Fortunately, these three children are here, and they can spread some words for us, so that there will be no news. ”
He couldn't help but sigh, but when he thought about it, he suddenly realized that although the old man and his 'tree woman' had never met, and they couldn't share their family, they finally had children and a family composed of each other, and they had always stayed together for 10,000 years. As for Li, he didn't even know where his lover was now, let alone if he could leave the Demon Night Forest alive......
Alone I remembered that the two of them were not able to meet yet;
"However, if the two of them can't meet each other, how can they do that cloud-shaking thing? If they don't do that kind of thing, can they have children?" A strange thought suddenly popped up in his heart, and now was definitely not the time to think about these questions. He couldn't help frowning, and secretly said in his heart, "I want to leave the Demon Night Forest as soon as possible, there are always some weird thoughts here, if I continue to think like this, I may really go crazy!"
"Their bloodline is self and the tree woman, although they can move around, but they are limited to shuttling between me and the tree woman......" the old man said this, not sighing regretfully, but looking at the three little demons with tender eyes, but his eyes immediately sank.
He was stunned for a moment, looked down, panicked, and hurriedly bent over and hugged him. I don't know if it was the three little demons who provoked the babbling, or the babbling suddenly became nervous, he actually threw out his tentacles and kept poking one of the little demons in the abdomen.
I don't know how painful the little demon is, but looking at his somewhat blackened abdomen that has been poked, it is obviously not comfortable, but the little demon has not said a word after being bullied.
"Smack"
Xiao Li shook his hand and babbled, lowered his voice and reprimanded, "You just don't want me to feel better, do you?" Although he felt that the three little demons were ugly, they were the children of the ancient tree demon after all, and when they saw their children being bullied, parents would inevitably get angry. If you babble and do it again, the ancient dryad may really turn around.
"Babble~......" babbling pouted, screamed a little dissatisfied, and instead lowered his arms, letting him stand by the neck and carry him.
Xiao Li smiled, looked up at the old man and said, "I hope the seniors don't be surprised, this guy doesn't know the severity." ”
"It's okay, the three of them aren't so squeamish...... the old man said expressionlessly.
Hearing the old man say this, he couldn't help but blush a little, after all, the ancient tree demon gave them a lot of clues and help, and now they don't repay others without saying anything, and they also bully other people's children at home, no matter what, it's a little unreasonable.
At this time, the three little demons gathered around the feet of the lonely man again, staring back and forth, as if they didn't care about the previous babbling. It may be that they also felt the breath of the ancestral demon emperor on their babbling bodies, so they naturally felt close and obedient.
His legs touched the three little demons, and he felt at a loss for a moment, pacing back and forth, not knowing where to put his feet.
"Mo Qing, what does your mother have to say to me?" said the old man to the boss whose forelimbs had been placed on his body.
"Squeak" The old man's eldest son, Mo Qing, heard this, gave up his solitary standing, squeaked and ran towards the old man, and then kept talking.
"Oops!"
After Mo Qing finished speaking, the old man suddenly patted his head, and his expression seemed to be a little guilty, "I always feel that today is an important day, but I just can't remember it, hey, today is the birthday of me and Shu Po, I actually forgot it." ”
"Birthday?" said Zuo Li, wondering, "Could it be that trees remember their birthdays too?"
"We regard the day when the spiritual wisdom is turned on as a birthday, because I was fortunate enough to be dyed with the blood of the ancestral demon on the same day as the tree woman, so the birthday is also the same day. As he spoke, the old man became confused again, "Hey, when did I extract my memories of this day?"
"The memory is messing up again," Xiao Li couldn't help but tease in his heart. According to the old dryad, it seems that he will pull some inconsequential memories out of his mind and leave clues in case he forgets them, but as it seems that he does not do a good job of indexing memories.
"We only have one birthday in a thousand years, and I actually forgot", just as the old man muttered to himself, Mo Qing began to retch, and slowly spit out one from his body, stained with sticky juice, shaped like pine needles but several times larger than ordinary pine needles, and the whole body was crystal green leaves.
Obviously, the tree woman not only remembered today's day, but also prepared gifts.
"This, this ......" The old man held the emerald green leaf in his hand, and for a moment he seemed very happy, but also a little embarrassed.
"Squeak ~ squeak" The old man squeaked for a long time, looking at his expression, it seemed that Mo Qing brought a bunch of words of thanks and apologies to Shu Po.
The two dryads, who have been husband and wife for 10,000 years, still seem a little estranged, but after all, they have never really met, and estrangement seems inevitable.
After the old man finished speaking, Mo Qing and his two brothers crawled to the wall covered with roots behind him, shrunk his limbs, and entered a hole the size of a bowl. Apparently, the three of them had come down the hole before.
Seeing the three little demons leaving, Xiao Lifang put down his babbling.
The old man looked ahead and muttered, "I hope Shu Po will not be angry because of this", and then said to Xiao Li, "I just mentioned you to Shu Po, see if she will know some clues that will be useful to you." However, she was not involved in the incident three years ago and may not be able to provide more useful clues. ”
Xiao Ligang wanted to give up his thanks, but the old man changed his words and said earnestly, "I understand that you have many things that you want to find a clear understanding, but it is useless to be rash, and you still have to be cautious in everything." Although the road ahead is unpredictable, it is important to succeed in people. ”
Xiao Li naturally understood the consolation in the words of the ancient tree demon, and nodded heavily when he heard it, "The younger generation understands." So far, this old man has been the most honest with him in the Demon Night Forest.
It was not enough to make a cup of tea,' the rustling sound came again, and in a short time, the three little demons crawled into the cave again. Xiao Li hurriedly picked up the babbling.
The three little demons turned their heads one after another to look at the babbling, and then walked straight towards the old man.
The old man hurriedly squeaked, as if asking what the tree woman had said.
"Squeak~" The boss Mo Qing elongated his voice, as if he only said one word.
Although he didn't understand, Mo Qing was obviously learning from Shu Po's tone, and it sounded a little angry and a little shy.
has been a husband and wife for 10,000 years, and even has children, and the tree woman still speaks in this tone.
The old man chatted a lot more with the three little demons, and then looked at the lonely one.
Xiao Li's eyes hurriedly met it, but the old man shook his head slightly, obviously telling Xiao Li that he didn't know too much news.
Standing alone, he smiled, but he still squeezed out a smile.
After a long silence, he opened his mouth to ask, "Senior, I wonder if you have ever heard of a certain organization or a person who would shave his head and then engrave the word 'king' on the top of his head?" He wanted to get as many clues as possible, since the ancient tree demon did not want to mention the traces of the demon sect, he could only find some clues related to the bald man.
"Overhead lettering?" the old man blurted out in astonishment, and after a pause for half a moment, he continued, "Overhead lettering, it is extremely difficult to deal with, but it is not something that ordinary people can try." However, why do you engrave the word 'king' on the top of your head, is it because of the tiger?"
Listening to the old man's words, his heart was a little colder, and it seemed that he couldn't get more news.
However, after thinking for a moment, the old man slowly spoke, "Shu Po once had the privilege of listening to Lord Demon Sect talk about the secrets outside the Demon Night Forest, maybe she knows something that is useful to you. “
Although he didn't have much hope in his heart, he still arched his hand with gratitude.
After the old man explained, this time he only sent the boss Mo Qing to climb out again......
