Chapter 222: Hanging Spirit Tree
Fortunately, Cangsuo did not die in the end, and was saved by the stick monster.
The slub monster pecked tirelessly all night, and the warehouse lock finally changed back into a human form from the emperor worm.
At this time, the warehouse lock was already very weak, although the consciousness was still awake and knew what was happening, but he didn't even have the strength to turn over and raise his head.
Zhang Xuan put away the bamboo monster and let Cang Suo lie on the ground to recover his strength, while he himself lay down on the soft chair to rest, and fell asleep after a while.
When I woke up, I saw Kura Suo sitting on the ground, his eyes in a daze.
"Your Excellency, you've slept all day."
Cang Suo heard Zhang Xuan's movement of getting up, raised his head and said.
"Well, I'm tired from working all night for you." Zhang Xuan slowly stretched his waist and responded indifferently, "You shouldn't know what happened last night, right?" β
"Yes, yes!" "I was in a daze, but I wasn't completely unconscious. β
"So, you know that you have become an emperor worm?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"I know I'm going from being a human to a demon, but I'm not very clear about what kind of demon I've become." Cang Suo said, "If it weren't for the rescue of adults, my little life would have been completely put into it, alas! β
"For you, it's nothing more than self-inflicted." Zhang Xuan said with a cold face, "Monsters are harmful, even children know this, as the emperor, you are well-informed, but you like to get along with monsters and do such a big sin!" β
"It's all because I was blinded by lard for a while, and I did such a ridiculous thing!" Cangsuo's face was full of shame, and he smiled bitterly, "If this matter is said to be said, it will not only lose my personal face, but also the face of the entire Bataan Dynasty. β
"Hmph, the consequences are not painful, but the lesson is painful. Let me ask you, how did those big demons and little demons find your door? Have you ever opened the door to demons? Zhang Xuan asked.
"Hehe, speaking of this, there is some reason." Cang Suo responded, "There is a hanging spirit tree in my palace, and I usually regard it as the treasure of the palace. The hanging spirit tree is very strange, it usually only bears ten hanging spirit fruits, and it ripens every twenty years. Due to the particularly long growth cycle of the hanging spirit fruit, it is considered to be a rare and exotic fruit with extraordinary nourishing value. β
"I'm asking about demons, you're talking about trees, what's the relationship between the two?" Zhang Xuan said with a frown, a little impatient.
"What I'm going to talk about next is the relationship between them." Cangsuo responded, "Suddenly, one day, the Brute Tiger and Qinghe found me, revealed their identities, declared that they were demons, and came specifically for the Hanging Spirit Fruit. I was surprised when I heard this, and said, two big demons, this hanging spirit fruit is a thing in my palace, mortals may be able to increase some nutrition if they eat it, you are all big demons, but eating it may not be good. β
"So, how did the Brute Tiger and Qinghe respond to you?"
They said that this hanging spirit fruit is a kind of immortal fruit, and it is purely a waste for mortals to eat it, and only after they eat it can they improve their cultivation and breed immortal energy. In order to prevent other demons from coming and fighting, they must be stationed here. β
"These two damn guys, in order to eat the hanging spirit fruit, they are really not afraid to spend effort!"
"I was very scared at the time, afraid that the two big demons would harm me, and I was afraid that they would defile the palace. They swore that they would not do anything harmful to me and the royal family, and that they would do something good for the benefit of the dynasty, and that I must hire them as national teachers in exchange. β
"Then, they set up a table for you to raise the price of salt?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"Hey, hey!" Cangsuo coughed twice and said embarrassedly, "Not only that, but they also said that they would revive the majesty of our Bataan Dynasty and make the other two great powers, Chaina and Fulao, look up to us and be our vassal states. β
"So, your ambition is inflated, and you send envoys to the two countries of Chena and Fulao to despise the monarch and provoke the courtiers?" Zhang Xuan asked with burning eyes.
"Now that I think about it, that behavior is so absurd that I regret it." Cangsuo said, "Even if the two national teachers of Manhu and Qinghe go out in person, they may not be able to conquer the two countries of Chaina and Fulao, not to mention, the facts are in front of you, as soon as you make a move, the two national teachers will stop eating in an instant, and even I, the dignified monarch, will let you see the joke!" β
After that, he lowered his head in shame.
"You don't have to be so depressed, just recognize your mistakes and change them." Zhang Xuan said, "Fortunately, it hasn't made a big mistake yet, and it's still too late to change it." β
"My lord, it's a good thing that you came in time, otherwise it would have been an irreparable mistake!" Kura said with a sigh.
"As I said, the envoy you sent to the country of Chaina, Nu Shen, has been killed by me." Zhang Xuan said, "I'm here, first, to destroy demons, but to inform you. If you don't do evil, then I'm not welcome. As for your two so-called national teachers, they are both great demons, and I will surrender or kill them no matter what. β
"That damn slave ginseng, despise the monarch of the kingdom, provoke the courtiers of the kingdom, especially offend you, your lordship, kill it, kill it, you should kill!" Cangsuo changed his previous arrogant attitude, and directly called the country of Chaina a kingdom, and lowered his body to the dust, "Through the teachings of the adults, I have realized my mistakes, and I plan to change my mind, be a new person, and definitely live up to the expectations of the adults!" β
"You are the king of a country, and you need no need to show me any loyalty." Zhang Xuan frowned and said.
"No, you are my nobleman, my savior, no matter how loyal I am!" Cangsuo said in a firm tone, "From now on, I will listen to the adults in everything, and whatever you say is what you say." β
"If you want me to say, you better lower the price of salt that has risen first, so that the people can live a good life for a few days. You think that the people only eat a little salt every day, and raising the price of salt has little impact on them, or that it doesn't hurt to cut the meat at all, but in fact, this is a more narrow exploitation of the people, and it is very damaging! But any responsible regime will not manipulate prices to benefit itself and harm its people. Zhang Xuan reprimanded with a cold face.
"Okay, I'll go back and handle this matter with someone else, and try to get it done as soon as possible. In addition, I plan to set up a leveling fund to stabilize prices as much as possible so that the people will not suffer from rising prices. Cangsuo responded.
"Yo, you actually know how to govern the country well!" Zhang Xuan said, "It's really dizzy to know but not to do, or even to do the opposite." β
When the warehouse lock heard this, he was speechless for a while.
"Let's go, you take me to see that hanging spirit tree!" Zhang Xuan said as he got up and walked out.
Cangsuo hurriedly got up, followed behind Zhang Xuan's buttocks, nodded and pointed in the direction.
After turning around and coming to a relatively open place, Cangsuo pointed to a tree in front of him that was covered with green grass and said, "My lord, this is the Hanging Spirit Tree!" β
Zhang Xuan took a closer look and found that the tree did grow a little strangely, the tree itself was about three people tall, not very tall, but the trees were surrounded by grass, and the stalks of those grasses were inclined to the center of the canopy, as if there was a strong attraction there to attract them.
The crown of the tree is not very large, and there are not many branches and leaves, and there are ten olive-shaped cyan fruits hanging between the leaves, presumably this is the hanging spirit fruit.
"My lord, this hanging spirit fruit is very nutritious, do you want to pick one and taste it first?" Kura asked flatteringly.
Zhang Xuan glanced at him and said, "Do you understand the truth that the husband is not guilty and is guilty?" β
Cangsuo nodded and responded: "My lord, look at what you said, how can I not understand such a simple truth!" β
"It's good to understand!" Zhang Xuan said, "Your Hanging Spirit Tree, the so-called treasure of the town palace, is equivalent to the beauty of the horseman, you should also understand this, right?" β
"This, thisβ"
When Cang Suo heard this, he couldn't help but snort.
"This Hanging Spirit Tree is actually a demon tree, and it may attract all kinds of big demons in the future." Zhang Xuan said, "So, this tree can't be kept, I have to take it away." I'm doing this for your own good, and I hope you understand. β
Cang's collarbone rolled his eyes and pondered, thinking that what Zhang Xuan said made sense, so he said: "Then I'll listen to the adult, and the adult can just take it away." β
