The disciples of Shushan, if they are not successful in cultivation and have a certain Taoism, are not qualified to go down the mountain.

A pair of men and women in front of him, the man was only in his early twenties, and the woman was only twelve or thirteen years old, and they were allowed to come alone to exterminate the demons, and they were obviously the elite of their peers.

But because of this, Meng Xiuyuan's sudden action shocked the two of them in their hearts.

However, an eight- or nine-year-old child, whose true qi is extremely weak, can reach out and accurately grasp the hilt of the flying sword, and forcibly block this powerful swordsmanship.

Such a perverse thing made the two of them not only frightened, but also deeply confused, only to feel that the child in front of them was not simple.

"In Xiashu Mountain, the disciple Taiwu, on the order of the teacher Dugu Sword Saint, took the little junior sister down the mountain to kill demons and practice together.

I don't know where your Excellency came from, which predecessor you studied from, and why did you stop the two of us? ”

That Taiwu's words were polite, but his voice was as upright as before, and he and his junior sister stood on the flying sword without the slightest sign of landing, and they did not hide their vigilance against Meng Xiuyuan.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he felt that although the Taiwu in front of him was a little reckless and arbitrary, he was not necessarily a wicked person, so he didn't want to tear his face with the other party, and politely opened his mouth to persuade:

"In Xia Meng Xiuyuan, I have occasionally gained a few kung fu, but I have not yet entered the immortal gate.

The reason why I made a move was just that I felt that there was some misunderstanding here, and I was afraid that everyone would cause an irreparable tragedy impulsively.

Why is Brother Taiwu in such a hurry to kill the demon, why don't you listen to this ......"

Meng Xiuyuan was just halfway through his words, when the girl beside him suddenly interrupted, and said to him with a sweet smile:

"Wow, it turns out that your name is Meng Xiuyuan, and your name is so nice.

My name is Bailing, thank you for saving me. ”

Meng Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know if this little girl was deliberately angry with that Taiwu, or if she was really naïve and unruly, but in order to bridge the relationship between the two parties, he didn't want to talk to this girl more, so he just smiled and responded, and then raised his head to the two Shushan disciples in the sky and continued:

"I think this lily girl has a good temperament and will not hurt people for no reason.

In addition, when she cast spells against those villagers, she was obviously restrained and did not use heavy hands.

Why don't you wait patiently for a while, listen to her explain the reason, and then make a decision. ”

No, Meng Xiuyuan's polite persuasion did not have the slightest effect, and the Taiwu standing on the flying sword had a cold face when he heard this, and immediately said:

"Meng Shaoxia, there is no need to say it again.

What lark girl, this is a demon next to you, a demon who has hurt people.

Even if she talked about it, the result was no different.

It's like when you meet tigers and jackals on the road, and you see them hurting people because they are protecting their cubs and foraging for food. Is it because they have a legitimate reason that you should let go of these harmful things?

The first task of my Shushan disciple in his life is to slay demons and eliminate demons and maintain peace in the world.

There is no reason to let go of these demons who dare to do something to the human race and may harm people again in the future. ”

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly said that the person in front of him was really stubborn.

However, before he could refute it, the lark beside him had already taken the lead and shouted dissatisfiedly:

"Hmph, you are really unreasonable, much worse than Xiao Xiu.

If it weren't for the fact that I've been feeling unwell lately, I'll teach you a good lesson!

And, you see, I'm not a jackal.

His eyes are so bad, and he said that he wanted to subdue demons and eliminate demons......"

As he spoke, the arms of this lark suddenly turned into a pair of huge wings, and a little golden light was fanned out by dancing a few times, which was extremely beautiful. It wasn't until the birds in the surrounding woods were attracted and hovered and fluttered in the sky above her that Bai Ling was fully satisfied, and when he turned his wings back into white arms, he pinched his waist and looked up at Na Taiwu with great vigour.

Such a childish move not only made Meng Xiuyuan smile slightly, but the two Shushan disciples in the sky were also slightly moved.

"Senior Brother Taiwu, I think what this Meng Shaoxia said may really be reasonable.

This monster is simple-minded, and there is no anger on his body, probably he should live in seclusion in the depths of this mountain forest, and rarely contact the human race.

If it really doesn't have evil intentions, then let's warn it more and admonish it, there is no need to solve the problem with the sword......"

The little junior sister of Shushan looked immature and cute, but she spoke calmly and moderately, and persuaded her senior brother so seriously.

When Taiwu heard this, he looked solemnly in the direction of Meng Xiuyuan and Bailing for a long time, and finally shook his head and sighed softly to the junior sister beside him:

"Grass Valley, this is your first time going down the mountain, and you still don't know much about the affairs of the demons in this world.

Maybe this monster is really ignorant and doesn't mean to harm people, but since it has already done something to the human race, it has violated the Great Commandment.

If we don't punish them, we will only let the other demon clans know about it, and they will have a fluke heart and despise the protection of the human race in our Shu Mountain.

The shemales are fighting for this world, and there is no room for any concessions......"

Taiwu seemed to guess that Meng Xiuyuan had a keen sense of hearing and could hear the conversation between him and his junior sister Caogu from a distance, and then simply turned his head, looked at Meng Xiuyuan and said loudly:

"In ancient times, Chi You led the demon clan to launch a great war against the human race, and the human race was weak and invincible, with countless casualties and corpses all over the field.

If it weren't for the help of the gods, the human race might have perished, and it would have become the ration of the demon race.

In the tens of millions of years that followed, it was still common for monsters to eat and hurt people in this world.

Such a feud involves the survival of the human race, far from being comparable to the struggle between countries and nations in the world.

Since this monster has hurt people, I will definitely punish it.

If Meng Shaoxia wants to stand up for it, then I have to offend Taiwu. ”

Meng Xiuyuan's heart was touched when he heard this, he glanced at the simple and lovely Bailing beside him, and pondered silently for a moment before slowly looking up at the Taiwu who was standing with the sword in the sky, and said solemnly:

"Forgive me for my short-sightedness, there is only the difference between good and evil in my eyes, and there is no difference between shemales.

Larks are born with intelligence, and they can no longer be regarded as ordinary beasts.

If she really has the intention of harming others, then there is no need for Brother Taiwu to take action, and I can't tolerate her.

But if she didn't deliberately do evil, then no matter what reason Brother Taiwu had, I wouldn't be able to see her suffer innocently. ”

Taiwu was quite surprised by Meng Xiuyuan's words, and stared at him for a long time, but in the end, he waved his sleeve robe, waved away the junior sister Cao Gu beside him, and said to Meng Xiuyuan:

"I see that Meng Shaoxia is also a righteous person, so in order to avoid any damage, let's win or lose with one move.

If anyone loses a move and a half, they will retreat on their own. ”

Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard this, he understood that he could only decide whether it was right or wrong, and simply replied:

"Okay, since Brother Taiwu really wants to do something with me, then come on.

Just before I came to visit, I had a glimpse of the swordsmanship of the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect in advance. ”

Taiwu was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he heard the hidden meaning of Meng Xiuyuan's words, but in the end, he only said "be careful" lightly, and immediately pinched the trick and recited the mantra.

The next moment, I saw a huge stone ball burning with raging flames suddenly condensed above his head, like a meteor, and shot quickly in the direction of Meng Xiuyuan.

Meng Xiuyuan was a little surprised when he saw this, but he didn't expect that this disciple of the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect was actually a five-spirit spell. This "Flying Fire Meteor" is obviously a combination of fire and earth spells, and the means are relatively advanced in the spells passed on to Meng Xiuyuan by the witch queen Lin Qing'er.

With such a hybrid spell, it is no wonder that this Taiwu still dared to propose a contest with Meng Xiuyuan after the flying sword was taken away.

"Xiao Xiuyuan, come with me......"

Seeing this spell, Bai Ling was also shocked by its might, and hurriedly took Meng Xiuyuan's hand and wanted to take him away.

However, Meng Xiuyuan gently shook it off in an instant, and instead held the silver sword he had just intercepted in his hand.

"Don't worry, it's fine."

As he spoke, a silver light flew out from Meng Xiuyuan's hand, and the speed was almost invisible to the naked eye.

The next moment, a loud "boom" was heard, and the "Flying Fire Meteor" suddenly split in half from the center, and suddenly lost its strength and smashed into the woods below. And the silver sword that was thrown by Meng Xiuyuan continued unabated, still shooting towards Taiwu in the distant sky.

Taiwu cultivated well, and subconsciously lucked, and slightly deflected the direction of the silver sword that flew in, and successfully avoided it from the side of his cheek.

But Meng Xiuyuan used more than brute force between this throw, although the sharp sword qi covered by the sword was weak, it was very pure, which made the sideburns of Taiwu who could not be prevented slightly cold, and the secret path was not good.

Looking down, I saw that a wisp of green silk had been broken, and it was drifting and falling with the mountain wind to my feet.

"What a powerful sword, such a strong body. Worldly martial arts, can you do this......"

Taiwu lowered his eyebrows and sighed lightly, said no more, turned around and left with his sword. And the little junior sister of the grass valley on the side also went with her after glancing at Meng Xiuyuan from afar.

……

"Wow, Xiao Xiuyuan, you are so good, you actually drove away all the bad guys?!

Back then, Big Brother Bai didn't have the ability to do it like you.

Thank you, thank you ......"

Bai Ling looked at the two figures in the distance of the sword, and immediately had a bright smile on his face, holding Meng Xiuyuan's hand and jumping in a circle, looking very excited.

Meng Xiuyuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and was about to ask who the big brother Bai was in Bailing's mouth, but when he saw that he suddenly stopped again, he blinked and said curiously:

"That's right, Xiao Xiuyuan.

Didn't you say before that you had come to this mountain to pick green fruits and were separated from your companions?

You're so good, why can't you find them, but what's the trouble?

I know that there is an eagle living in the depths of Mount Emei, very powerful, your companion must have been captured by him......"

Meng Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and immediately shook his head, and said calmly to Bai Ling:

"I'm sorry, but that was all my excuse.

It was also because I saw the villagers being attacked, so I chased them to this mountain......"

Bai Ling seemed to like Meng Xiuyuan very much, so he was unexpectedly generous, only frowned for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"Forget it, I forgive you.

Big Brother Bai said that even good people can lie.

You saved me, the nicest person I've ever seen in a hundred years.

Come with me, I'll take you to my house and see, I've got a lot of good things to hide......"

As he spoke, Bai Ling took Meng Xiuyuan's hand again and took him straight to the depths of the mountains and forests.

Meng Xiu saw that Bailing's face was full of innocence, but it was not easy to forcibly break free, so he had to go with it.

Both of them are light and agile, and although they have not cast spells to fly, they are also very fast, and countless flowers and trees on their sides are fleeting.

Bai Ling was very familiar with this mountain forest, and during the rapid leap, he also turned his head to look at Meng Xiuyuan from time to time. Seeing the sincere smile on his face, he was full of joy, just like a child entering the playground.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu was indignant in his heart, so he simply didn't beat around the bush, and asked bluntly:

"Bailing, there's something I want to ask you clearly.

What are you doing to the villagers?

Is it because they are greedy and steal too much of your green fruit? ”

Bai Ling sneered when he heard this, he didn't think it was a serious topic at all, and turned his head to Meng Xiuyuan and replied briskly:

"No, it's something they pick some green fruits.

The fruit was originally made by me condensing the essence of the plants and trees, so that the people at the bottom of the mountain could pick it.

They picked the fruit for money, so they didn't have to go deep into the mountains to cut down trees......"

"Huh?" Meng Xiuyuan was slightly confused when he heard this, and he didn't know what Bai Ling meant, so he immediately continued:

"Then why did you cast a spell to break the man's leg......"

"It's here!"

As soon as Meng Xiuyuan was halfway through his words, Bai Ling suddenly stopped his body, causing the two of them to stop under the towering tree for a moment. When I looked up, I saw that between the branches of this big tree, there were several quite delicate tree houses

"Xiao Xiuyuan, you wait for me, I'll go to see something important first, and I'll come back to accompany you soon......" Bai Ling let out a light snort, and flew up and floated into one of the treehouses.

After a while, when she came back, she saw that the girl's expression was no longer as playful and lively as just now, and even there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't understand what was going on, and after a closer look, she noticed that she was holding a broken bird's nest made of tree branches in her hand at the moment.

Several of the young birds in the nest have died, but only one has broken wings but is still breathing.

Bai Ling looked at the young bird in the nest and said with a little cry:

"Xiao Xiuyuan, I'm really useless.

I thought I could save their lives with spells, but I didn't expect to save only one.

I hate the man named Ah Leopard, who obviously saw a bird's nest in the tree and a bird in the bird's nest, why did he cut down the tree......"

Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and only then did he understand that Bai Ling actually hurt people for this reason.

Before he could say anything, he heard Bai Lingwu whisper to himself:

"My brothers and sisters and I have also suffered this in this wood.

If it weren't for Big Brother Bai just passing by and helping out, I would have died at that time.

I thought that if I had the ability to do it now, I would be able to prevent this from happening again.

But I didn't expect it to be the same......"

Meng Xiuyuan's heart moved slightly when he heard this, only to feel that there were a lot of hidden secrets, and immediately asked Bailing about the reason.

Bailing has been lonely in this forest for many years, and there is no one to confide in, and at this moment, he unconsciously wants to reveal his heart in sadness. So as soon as Meng Xiuyuan asked, she slowly told her story.

It turned out that more than 100 years ago, the lark was still a young bird in the bird's nest.

A woodcutter accidentally felled a tree, causing the tree to topple and killing all her brothers and sisters in the same nest.

Fortunately, Bai Ling innate felt a little more aura in the egg, so that the spirit was stronger, and he was saved by a kind person surnamed Bai.

That Mr. Bai knew some spells, and he was kind, and when he saw that Bailing was born with spiritual intelligence, he stayed here to take care of Bailing for a long time and revived her physically.

However, Bailing was indeed in a state of dying at that time, and his soul had already escaped and merged with this mountain forest. Therefore, even if she survived and cultivated into a demon, she would not be able to leave this mountain forest.

That Mr. Bai had a family relationship with Bailing, and it was difficult to give up, so he stayed in this wood, like a brother and a father, like a teacher and a friend, and accompanied Bailing for many years until he was old.

During those decades, he took good care of Bailing and taught her many truths.

"Big Brother Bai once said, tell me not to complain about the woodcutter who cut down the tree back then.

Because cutting down trees is his source of livelihood, if he doesn't have enough hands and feet, maybe his family will starve.

In a hurry, it was hard to notice that there was a nest in the tree, and there were a few of my siblings in the nest......"

Bai Ling turned his head to look at a lone tree next to the giant tree as he spoke, and his voice was low:

So, after he left, I kept thinking about how to solve this problem.

It's really hard, and I'm a bit stupid in my head. I've thought about it for decades, but I haven't thought of a way.

Fortunately, I practiced hard every day, and my skills became much greater. It occurred to me that if these woodcutters could live by looking at the trees more, there would never be another tragedy like this.

Therefore, I used a spell to condense the essence of the plants and trees, so that the trees bore a lot of green fruits, and let the woodcutters sell them for money.

But I didn't expect it, but it still didn't work......"

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan only felt a slight chill in his heart, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

Bai Ling's expression became more and more sad, and then he muttered in a low voice:

"Xiao Xiuyuan, I'm so stupid.

I don't understand what to do.

Why are those people still not satisfied after picking the green fruits on the tree and exchanging enough money for life?

Why do those people look up at the tree every now and then, and they must be able to see the nest, but still insist on cutting down the tree?

Is it because the life of the bird, in their eyes, is not worth mentioning?

But even so, what effort does it take to move two steps and cut down another tree? ”

Bai Lingyu turned his head to look at Meng Xiuyuan, a pair of eyes that were originally very smart, but at this moment, he lacked a little brilliance:

"Xiao Xiuyuan, you are more capable than Big Brother Bai, you must have a way.

Can you teach me how exactly I should do it? ”
