Chapter 239: Tree Soul
The third picture about the water body in his previous life is not the process of his death, but the picture of him meeting Fan Wu, which is the process of meeting in the so-called tomb in the netherworld.
It's just that this process is a bit short, just a flash of a moment, if it weren't for Fan Wu's own involvement, it wouldn't be clear what the content was.
However, for Fan Wu, this content is not important, the important thing is that he knows that these leaves record the life process of every 'Fan Wu', so how can there be a picture of meeting Fan Wu?
At that time, the body of water should have been dead, how could it still appear in the picture of the leaves, unless he was not dead at all.
But if he hadn't died, how could Fan Wu have appeared? Wasn't he Fan Wu's previous life? Hehe, this logic is a bit confusing.
Fan Wu had a judgment on these things in his heart, but the picture he saw today somewhat shook his established thoughts, especially the picture of the water body in his previous life, which simply overturned his inference that the leaves represented his different generations.
How can people of different generations be in the same place and still talking? Unless one of them is not, or one of them crosses time and space to meet in another world, this cannot happen.
So although the picture of this money is a body of water, although there are only three simple flashes, it has a great impact on Fan Wu, and the matter of this token and the flood alone has shocked him, and finally there is a process of meeting the two.
It seems that every time he encounters this kind of strange event, Fan Wu's worldview will change, and this time it is even more excessive, and even his outlook on life has been shaken a little.
There was a thought in my heart that I felt incredible, but I couldn't help but refuse: "Am I Fan Wu?"
Of course, he knew that he was the current Fan Wu, but he was already a little unsure if it was the so-called 'Fan Wu', whether it was the same person as the Fan Wu in the leaf picture?
But now there will definitely not be any answers or relevant information about this, looking up at the 72 leaves left on the banyan tree, Fan Wu sighed.
It was these annoying leaves that were disturbing his thinking, and his originally good thinking was almost overturned in this short period of time.
The more Fan Wu looked at it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help kicking the banyan tree, but of course such a child's behavior would not have any effect, the banyan tree was as solid as a rock, but the soles of Fan Wu's feet were a little painful.
Damn, I was stabbed again, and this time I stabbed through my shoes and pricked the soles of my feet, but this time I didn't get any blood, so there were no new changes in the banyan tree, and the leaves on the top didn't fall with it.
But Fan Wu didn't dare to continue to get down, just cursed a few words lightly to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, but after he finished scolding, he seemed to hear a small cough.
However, this voice was too small for Fan Wu to hear clearly, but when he realized that there was a coughing sound, he immediately became nervous.
He didn't think he had heard it wrong, there was definitely a small cough just now, but then there was no sound at all.
"Who's, who's there, who?"
After asking a few times, there was still no response, and no cough or other sounds were heard, Fan Wu gently kicked the banyan tree again, but there was no response.
After fiddling with his hands and feet for a while without getting any response, Fan Wu cursed Banyan Shu a few words again with ugly words.
This time, I finally heard the coughing sound again, and this time I heard it very clearly, it was coming from inside the banyan tree.
Hehe, it turned out to be the sound of the banyan tree itself, then it would be easy to do, Fan Wu asked the banyan tree a few words next, wanting to communicate with it.
It is not a terrible thing for plants to become essences, there will be such settings in many legends or film and television works, but Fan Wu has not seen it with his own eyes, but it does not prevent him from accepting this matter.
He himself has changed from an atheist to a cultivator, and he has even seen a bodhisattva, although he recently discovered that it is not necessarily a real bodhisattva, but even if he is not a bodhisattva, he must be a cultivator of some kind of terrible demon or ghost, otherwise he would not dare to pretend to be a bodhisattva so boldly.
And the big and small things he has experienced over the years have also made him immune to things like fairies and ghosts, and he still doesn't pay much attention to a small banyan tree spirit.
If it weren't for the fact that this banyan tree was quite miraculous, and there were still its own leaves growing on the top of the tree, Fan Wu would have the idea of using forceful means to force it out, then it would just be a matter of mouth.
It's just that this banyan tree spirit doesn't seem to be very face-saving, except for coughing twice to protest when he was scolded, Fan Wu ignored his normal speech.
Hey, Fan Wu saw that this banyan tree was so uncley and ignored him, and his temper came up, but he still had a lot of questions that he wanted to understand through the banyan tree, so he didn't want to have a bad relationship with it.
So I still endured the desire to attack it, and still only communicated with it with words, but there were no good words, and then all the content was cursing, and even the foul language I knew was used.
At first, the banyan tree only used a coughing sound to express anger and protest, but later it may have been really stimulated by Fan Wu's more and more ugly words, and the whole tree began to sway slightly, especially the branches on it swayed even more, as if it was blown by a typhoon.
However, the remaining 72 leaves show no signs of loosening, and are still firmly growing on the branches, seemingly completely unaffected by the swaying of the branches.
Fan Wu saw that the leaves were unharmed, so he continued to scold even harder, directly treating the banyan tree as a person, not only scolding it, but also greeting its ancestors for eighteen generations, his strategy is that regardless of whether the banyan tree has the concept of ancestors, scold it first, and then say, there will always be some points that will scold its sensitive places.
In this way, Fan Wu stood under the banyan tree like a fool, and scolded for half an hour, I don't know if it was the spirit that caused the golden stone to open, or if he really scolded the pain point of the banyan tree, the banyan tree actually reacted.
In a loud and continuous coughing sound, the phantom of an old man slowly appeared in front of Fan Wu's eyes, it looked a bit like a modern person's dress, but the image was really a little sloppy, the clothes on his body were tattered, although there were a lot of patches, but many places had exposed the brown skin on his body.
The height is okay, half a head taller than Fan Wu, it is estimated that it should be about 1.9 meters, but there are only a few dozen hairs left on the top of the head, and the whole looks like a bald beggar.
As soon as this old man appeared, Fan Wu immediately bowed and said:
"I'm sorry, old man, in order to invite you out of the kid to make this decision, the content of those words just now is that the kid is talking nonsense, the old man, you have a lot of adults, you shouldn't worry about the kid. ”
The old man who looked like a beggar didn't seem to expect Fan Wu to be so slippery, and he didn't wait for him to say the words to block the possibility of his seizure, and couldn't help but glare at Fan Wu and said:
"Little guy, you are not kind, you have scolded me for so long, and you still make me unable to deal with you, what is the reason, should I, an old fellow, be cursed by you?
When Fan Wu heard the old man say this, he obviously didn't say that he was very angry, so he hurriedly said more obediently:
"No, no, no, old man, boy, I definitely don't mean that, don't get me wrong, I really didn't mean to scold you, didn't you just have no way to do this? If your old man is not angry, then you also scold back, boy, I promise to stand here and not talk back, not even coughing, half an hour is not enough, then let you scold for an hour, do you see it?"
When the old man heard Fan Wu's answer, he immediately smiled, nodded Fan Wu with his hand and said:
"You little guy is quite eloquent, I want to really scold back it seems that I am stingy, and I didn't forget to take out my cough when I explained, you, no wonder Niang Niang said that you are a freak, you really can't be underestimated, say, what is the matter with you looking for me?"
Fan Wu didn't look like the old man was cheating, he really didn't mind being cursed by himself for half an hour just now, and he took the initiative to ask what was going on, it was estimated that he should be a relatively kind banyan tree spirit.
But what was the matter with the mother he had just mentioned? Who was the mother, and how could she talk to the banyan tree spirit about herself? And who was this so-called mother, and how could she know herself?
Could it be a beautiful woman? Fan Wu couldn't help but think of the woman who appeared in several leaf pictures, although there was no reason, but she suddenly appeared in his mind.
But wait and ask this banyan tree spirit, first to figure out the current situation and the matter of the leaves, compared to this is the top priority, so Fan Wu asked:
"Old man, the kid's name is Fan Wu, what do you call him?"
"Well, I know your name is Fan Wu, otherwise you wouldn't have come here, I don't remember my real name, now you can call me an old banyan tree. ”
The old man replied to Fan Wu with a smile on his face, and after speaking, he turned around and glanced at the banyan tree behind him, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
Fan Wu was even more strange when he heard the old man's answer, why did this banyan tree monster already know his identity? Could it be because of the leaves here? But he was really a banyan tree spirit, and with the magic of this banyan tree, it was not strange that it knew itself.
And he also asked himself to call him the old banyan tree, then it must be the banyan tree spirit, that is, there are some things about this banyan tree that he wants to ask him, but before asking about the leaves, you have to ask what exactly is this place:
"Old man, where does this place belong, is it still in the human world?"
The old man glanced at Fan Wu meaningfully and replied:
"Yes and no. ”
