Volume 1 Hao's Vessel Chapter 66 The Tree of Knowledge
Time back to before the start of the Beast Spirit Tower Conference, at this time, the main elders of the Zhang family had already rushed to the Beast Spirit Tower Square, and only the middle-aged and young generation of the Zhang family were left behind.
Xi'er hurriedly walked through the bamboo forest path in the backyard of the Zhang family, which was still paved with snowflakes, and it was rarely visited, and it seemed remote and secluded. Not far in front of the trail, there is the back door of Zhang's house, the antique wooden door has collapsed, the door has been blocked with fine iron, and no one plans to clean up the broken wooden blocks all over the ground.
Wang Miao sat on the wooden pile and waited for Xi'er for a while. After Xi'er saw Wang Miao, she deliberately slowed down her pace, came to front and behind him, and stood silently, waiting for him to speak.
Wang Miao raised her head, glanced at Xi'er, and quipped: "You're here, I've been waiting for you for a while." What's the news for calling me over, if you still beg me to help Zero Dream get rid of the Killing Talisman, I'm sorry, I can't do it now. ”
"It's not like that, although I'll keep begging you about Zero Dreams. Xi'er shook her head with a cold face, the solemnity on her face was incompatible with her age, "The mountain demon of Tiandao Mountain is exposed. ”
As soon as she heard the news, Wang Miao jumped up, grabbed Xi'er's shoulders with both hands and shook desperately: "What's wrong with Lingli?
Maybe Wang Miao pressed too hard, Xi'er frowned painfully, and after Wang Miao realized it, she let go of her hands: "I'm sorry, what's wrong with her now?"
"Not long ago, the Third Elder was a guest of the Heavenly Dao Sect and sensed the residual demon aura on Xing Rouyu's body. As a mountain demon apprentice, because of her frequent contact with demon spirits, the demon spirit aura on her body has been so strong that it can be detected by the Zhang family's demon search talisman.
In order not to be tortured by the Zhang family, the mountain demon took the initiative to expose himself and was brought back by the Zhang family. After all, it was a high-ranking demon spirit that had not been captured for many years, and the Zhang family did not execute her immediately.
"She is not dead yet, she has been imprisoned by the Zhang family, and I don't know where she is being held, the location is very secret, and I can't inquire about it at all. However, what has been determined is that three days after the Beast Spirit Tower Conference, the Blood Peak Altar will execute the Heavenly Dao Mountain Demon in public. Get her back, I don't want to see the lives of Tiandao Mountain ruined. ”
"I don't need to say it, I'll go too. After listening to Xi'er's story, Wang Miao already understood what she should do, and said in a deep voice.
"Do you have any plans?" asked Ci'er cautiously, and that immature face was the calmness she shouldn't have at her age.
Wang Miao glanced at Xi'er and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Plan? ”
"If the Heavenly Dao Mountain Demon wasn't still alive, you would have destroyed the Zhang family now. Xi'er said coldly, as if she had seen through Wang Miao.
"No, it won't. But if they do, I'll tear down the council chamber before I leave. Xi'er could see from Wang Miao's eyes that his words were not just words, "Sooner or later, I will let the Demon Slayer disappear from this world, no, it won't be too long, and there is still the last piece of the puzzle left." ”
After hearing Wang Miao's words, Xi'er frowned worriedly: "How long will it take, I don't want to see Miss fall deeper and deeper in the killing text, Miss She will be affected by the killing text from time to time now, Zhang Yanyun should be planning to cultivate Miss like cultivating you." ”
After listening to Xi'er's words, Wang Miao glanced at her hands, but the skin on these hands was pitch black.
Wang Miao closed her eyes and said for a long time: "It should be in time, you don't have to be too anxious, I can't do anything alone now." I'm going to stay soon, the Beast Spirit Tower conference is about to start, I have to go over and see if those kids have poked out of the basket, so be it, thank you for your continued help. And this, please put it in Haotian's room, just put it under his pillow. ”
Wang Miao handed Xi'er a thin wooden box, and Xi'er took the wooden box, but didn't look at Wang Miao again.
"If you really want to thank me, don't let Zero Dream sink deeper. Ciel turned around and walked back slowly.
Wang Miao sighed and shook his head helplessly, how could he want his sister-in-law's child to fall into the murder text, Wang Miao's entrustment back then, Wang Miao still dare not forget. Wang Miao turned around and left the back door of Zhang's house, and when he arrived at the Beast Spirit Tower Square, the conference had already begun.
......
When he learned that it was Zhang Haotian who broke into the tower, Zhang Hai could barely suppress himself and wanted to rush forward, but Zhang Yanyun still held him down well before Zhang Hai calmed down.
Recalling the scene where Zhang Haotian broke into the tower just now, Zhang Hai realized that this child had really grown up under Zhang Shui's tutelage. Zhang Hao naively learned the spell, and could even break the ban of the Beast Spirit Tower and break into it.
If Zhang Hai knew that the trick of fooling Luo Lao was completely Zhang Haotian's idea alone, I don't know what he would think.
But now the more troublesome thing is the Zhang family, once Luo Lao announces that the person who trespassed into the tower is Zhang Haotian of the Zhang family, what will happen? Forget it, he doesn't have to think about it, let his father be upset, and when he sees that his son is well, he will be satisfied.
"What did that kid do!" A scolding sounded in the crowd first, and then everyone boiled, only the Zhang family and the Qingcheng Sect remained silent, and the Zhang family's silence was because the person who used the usual means of cheating was none other than Zhang Haotian of their Zhang family.
Zhang Haotian broke into the tower is the news from inside the Beast Spirit Tower, and only the Zhang family knows about it, if the news is announced, I don't know what kind of accusation the Zhang family will receive.
As the person in charge, Luo Lao slowly walked down the high platform of the Beast Spirit Tower, and walked towards the people who were reproaching him because of anger, without Luo Lao approaching, the people of various family sects had already surrounded him. After all the accusations of Luo Lao's failure to prevent this behavior from happening, and the inability to vent his blame on Zhang Haotian, who was the person concerned, Luo Lao became a goat.
But in the face of the siege of everyone, Luo Lao's face did not change, but walked forward slowly, looking at Luo Lao's face, the people who stood in front of Luo Lao consciously let go, and did not dare to continue to make the slightest accusation against the old man.
Luo Lao came to Zhang Yanyun's side, Zhang Yanyun somewhat guessed what he was going to say, just closed his eyes and stood quietly in place waiting.
Luo Lao's lips moved slightly, and then all the people behind him quieted down, and their eyes all moved to the people of the Zhang family: "There is news from the tower, the intruder is Zhang Haotian of your Zhang family, right?" ”
Zhang Yanyun was silent, he had already learned the face of the tower breaker from the news secretly transmitted by Zhang Lingmeng, and he had been thinking about the wording of the explanation to everyone.
For some reason, everyone didn't say a word, just quietly waited for Zhang Yanyun, who was standing in front of Luo Lao with his eyes closed, to speak, and it didn't take long for Zhang Yanyun to open his eyes and look directly at Luo Lao.
"As we all know, Zhang Haotian has disappeared at the time of the Beast Spirit Sacrifice, and we have not been able to find him, as for him appearing here now and behaving so disrespectfully towards the Beast Spirit Tower Assembly, our Zhang family has no idea. But our Zhang family should have an explanation to you, I promise that after the Beast Spirit Tower Conference is over, we will deal with Zhang Haotian according to family rules. I, Zhang Yanyun, would like to express my deep apologies to all of you. ”
Zhang Yanyun leaned down and bowed to everyone in front of him. Even the head of the Zhang family had to apologize in person, Zhang Hai looked at the Beast Spirit Tower with some concern, this time, no matter what he did, he couldn't help Zhang Haotian.
Zhang Zhaimiao, who was not far away, witnessed this scene and wanted to rush out to block Zhang Yanyun's body, he didn't understand why Zhang Haotian was blamed, even if it was almost cheating, but it was also a talisman that Zhang Haotian had learned so hard, Zhang Zhaimiao had more or less learned from Zhang Haotian how difficult the road he was going to take.
But Zhang Zhaimiao was still held down by Li Xijian, Zhang Zhaimiao looked at Li Xijian in confusion, Li Xijian just shook his head: "It's going to be fine, just do our job well." Zhang Zhaimiao's hand quietly clenched into a fist, for what he had to do later, now he couldn't do anything, he could only pray weakly that things wouldn't get too bad after Zhang Haotian came out of the tower.
Zhang Haotian stopped on the twelfth floor of the Beast Spirit Tower, and he couldn't continue to walk up, and the effect of the golden dragon body spell didn't seem to last long.
And on the twelfth floor, Zhang Haotian saw the Zhiyan Tree that Wang Miao told them, this layer does not need to fight, just answer a question about the Zhiyan Tree, thinking that Zhang Haotian does not need to fight, decided to take the test of the twelfth layer before Xu Zifeng and them came to the twelfth floor.
Zhang Haotian carefully crossed the red line, stepped on the roots of the trees and walked to the tree man. Before and after coming to the tree man, Zhang Hao found that the other party was smaller than his own child, and only half of his body, and the lower body seemed to be trapped in the tree and merged with the tree.
"Isn't such a body ugly. Zhiyanshu suddenly spoke, startling Zhang Haotian and taking several steps back.
After Zhang Haotian returned to his soul, he didn't know how to answer, for fear of inadvertently offending Zhiyanshu, seeing Zhang Haotian's reaction, Zhiyanshu laughed heartily: "You little baby, what is so difficult to say, ugly is ugly, I also have self-knowledge." ”
Although Zhiyanshu had already said that he was self-aware, Zhang Haotian was still reluctant to directly say that Zhiyanshu's appearance was ugly, and asked politely: "What should I call you, Zhiyanshu......?"
"Just call me the Tree of Words, I have been living in the Beast Spirit Tower, and I don't have a name that anyone can call me, just the Tree of Words. Why? Don't you think a tree is like a beast spirit?"
"Hmm. This time, Zhang Haotian nodded honestly and admitted.
"I'm not the tree itself, I'm just a parasitic beast spirit on the tree, our clan is called Zhiyan, and once we leave the offering of the tree, we will die, so the world is used to calling us the Zhiyan Tree. Of course, killing me won't pass this layer, keep that in mind. Although he knew that Zhiyanshu was joking, Zhang Haotian didn't feel funny at all.
Seeing that Zhang Haotian didn't respond, Zhiyanshu didn't want to talk nonsense anymore: "Kid, do you know? ”
"But now......" Zhang Haotian could clearly feel that the Beast Spirit Tower did not make any move to expel him.
"That's because I don't want to do this, kid, the tree I parasitize on forms the backbone of the Beast Spirit Tower, and the Beast Spirit Tower is built around this tree, and my will can influence this Beast Spirit Tower. Zhiyan Tree explained.
"Then why don't you expel me?"
Zhiyanshu narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Then why don't you continue to use that spell that ignores the enchantment and go directly to the fifteenth layer." ”
It's a question that doesn't need to be thought about to blurt out the answer: "I want to go to the fifteenth floor with my friends." ”
"It's very unconvincing for someone who left his friends and ran to the eleventh floor alone. Zhiyanshu quipped and mocked.
Haotian pursed his lips, shook his head and said: "This is what we said, my number of layers in front will only drag them down, I don't have many dragon runes on my body, relying on the golden dragon body to wait for them as high as possible is the best choice." I can help them deal with the beasts in the back. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Haotian smiled confidently at the guiding tree, such a smile rarely appeared on Zhang Haotian's face, and this smile made Zhiyanshu laugh with Haotian.
"Good, good, sure enough, you're a funny kid, I hope your performance will make me happy. I think your teacher has already explained to you the coping plan for each layer of the Beast Spirit Tower, and you should remember what the test of this layer is. ”
Zhang Haotian retracted his smile, gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, then nodded to Zhiyanshu to show that he was ready.
"My question is just a yes or no question that you just have to answer, but each choice carries a lot of weight, and you will know a lot of things that you should know but have been kept in the dark. I hope you're really ready, Zhang Haotian. ”
After hearing Zhiyanshu read out his name, Zhang Haotian realized that he was not ready at all, he forgot what Wang Miao had said to them, Zhiyanshu's question was asked in order to break their spirits, Zhang Haotian had the urge to cover his ears, but it was too late.
Zhiyanshu likes to admire the most everyone who comes to him is confused by his question, and those empty eyes really make him like: "Do you want to know who killed your mother?" ”
