Chapter 73: A Familiar Tale
For the next few days, nothing special happened.
In the past few days, Wang Shen not only cast a spell to divinate the deeds of the dryad with the dryad's doppelganger, but also placed a heart-dampening spell on the dryad's body according to Xu Xian's instructions.
If the Dryad dares to do anything wrong in Qiantang, he only needs to activate the Heart-Punishment Mantra, and the life and death of the Dryad is in his thoughts.
On the fifth day, Wang Shen came to see Xu Xian and said in a low voice: "Young master, the tree demon has come to the outside of Qiantang City, and will soon enter the city, we will leave for Mu Ji's house now?"
Xu Xian exhaled and said with a smile: "Finally here, let's go, let's go to Mu Ji's house to hide first, and see why the tree demon wants to embarrass an ordinary person, if he doesn't do much evil, let him go, if he does evil, he will go for heaven and overdo him." ”
Wang Shen nodded and said, "The old slave understands. ”
The two of them were familiar with each other and soon came to Mu Ji's house.
Mu Ji was talking with He Yiming in the house at this time, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time, and the relationship between the two was really good.
Xu Xian used his Heavenly Eye and found that all the demonic energy on He Yiming's body had disappeared and he had completely recovered.
And Mu Ji is also much more cheerful than a few days ago, and jokes with He Yiming from time to time to make him happy.
Just as the two were talking and laughing, Mu Ji's face changed slightly, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
It's just that the worried look is fleeting, and he continues to laugh and accompany He Yiming.
He Yiming could naturally see Mu Ji's reluctance, so he comforted softly: "Lady, you go to bed to rest first, I can read alone, you don't have to accompany me." ”
Mu Ji smiled and said, "Then, then I'll go to sleep first, I'm a little tired these days." ”
He Yiming hurriedly got up and helped Mu Ji to the bed, served her to lie down, and helped her cover the quilt, and said apologetically: "It's all my fault, if I didn't get sick and caused you to guard day and night, how could I be so tired? ”
Mu Ji smiled: "Xianggong doesn't have to be so hardworking, if you feel tired, just rest." ”
When He Yiming turned around to leave, Mu Ji made a lightning shot and pointed at He Yiming's body.
He Yiming suddenly collapsed and fell asleep.
Mu Ji hurriedly got up, moved He Yiming to the bed, covered it with a quilt, and then took out the lightning strike wood, cautiously came to the door, and looked out, his eyes were full of vigilance.
"Squeak. ”
The door opened, and a man of about forty years old came in from outside, this person was dressed as neither male nor female, and his eyes looked at Mu Ji with tenderness for a while, and viciousness for a while.
"Dead girl, you dare to go against my will again and again, I will give you a chance, but you just refuse to turn back, and even find someone to remove my demon spirit and doppelganger, you can't spare it. "This person is the Dryad Grandma.
"Grandma, I've told you many times, I don't want to marry the old demon of Montenegro, just let me go, I just want to live a plain life with He Lang. There was a hint of pleading on her face.
With a wave of her hand, the door slammed shut, and it was covered with thin black roots, which quickly covered the entire gate and turned into a black gate.
With the gate as the center, the black roots spread rapidly along the earthen wall, and finally covered the entire courtyard with a layer of fine black roots.
From time to time, the roots of the trees moved and watched for movement around them.
As long as there are people, they will definitely not escape the surveillance of the dryad.
The dryad grandmother came to Mu Ji's side,
"Girl, I've told you many times, this is for your good, as long as you marry the old demon of Montenegro, you can get more cultivation resources, and you will definitely be able to cultivate in the future, with your qualifications, it is not impossible to become the great sage of the demon clan, why don't you listen?"
"Grandma, I know that you are for my good, and I am also grateful for your care over the years, but I just want to be with He Lang, even if I can only spend a few decades with He Lang, I admit it. ”
Mu Ji's face was resolute, not at all moved by the words of the dryad.
A hint of anger flashed across the dryad's face, but he finally sighed.
"You...... It is already difficult for us to be alien, and it is even more difficult to succeed in cultivation, and it is a one-in-a-million chance to grow into a generation of demon saints, so why don't you seize this kind of opportunity? This kind of opportunity is once in a lifetime and fleeting. ”
The dryad continued to persuade bitterly, but Mu Ji just didn't let go, and she didn't move even if the dryad said it.
Mu Ji's desirelessness, looking down on everything, the angry dryad opened his teeth and claws, but there was nothing he could do.
"Girl, if you don't go with me again, I'll kill that kid and break your mind, you have such a big chance, I don't want to give up like this. ”
The dryad jerked to its feet, and countless black roots sprang into the room.
He Yiming is a dryad, just one root is needed to kill it completely.
"If He Lang dies, I won't live either, I hope that in the next life, Yue Lao will still let us be together. ”
Mu Ji didn't stop it, and he knew that he couldn't stop it, so he just sat there quietly and didn't move.
"You...... You're so angry with me, why can't you make sense of it?"
The dryad rolled his eyes, and the whole person collapsed instantly, and his expression changed instantly, as if he had changed a person, and sighed and said: "Girl, in fact, I did this not only for you, but also for me." ”
When Mu Ji heard this, her little face turned blue, and she said angrily: "You keep saying that it is for me, but it is just to conceal your true purpose, and now admit it, right?"
The tree demon smiled bitterly, sat there motionless, and sighed: "Whether it is the mortal world or the cultivation world, the strong are respected, the fittest survive, and the competition is extremely cruel. ”
Speaking of this, the dryad stood up and walked a few steps and said: "Since you have spiritual wisdom, I have been taking care of you, although I am only a Jindan cultivator, but the Taoist practice of thousands of years of cultivation and the accumulation of thousands of years have allowed grandma to have a place in the cruel cultivation world, so that you can avoid experiencing cruel competition, but my strength is limited after all."
The old demon of Montenegro is an old demon who has been cultivating for thousands of years, not to mention me, even the immortals can't do anything about him, in fact, it was he who took a fancy to you, and sent you over to grandma, and promised you countless cultivation resources, I really can't protect you anymore, and if you don't agree, we will all be killed by the old demon of Montenegro, and there is no luck. ”
The dryad pondered and talked eloquently, at first Mu Ji looked disdainful, but after hearing it, his face began to change.
He knew the cruelty of the cultivation world, and he had also seen the tree demon grandma fighting with people for cultivation resources, and he was seriously injured several times and returned, and once he was almost beaten out of his original form.
The name of the old demon of Montenegro, she has heard that the tree demon needs to pay tribute to the old demon of Stone Mountain every year, once it does not reach the old demon of Montenegro, it will be very miserable, there are already many powerful monsters killed by the old demon of Montenegro, and it is a miracle that the tree demon can live until now.
Despite this, the dryad still cultivated Kihime with all his heart, trying not to let her go out and face a brutal battle.
In Mu Ji's opinion, although the two are not related by blood, they are like biological mother and daughter, and they all think about each other.
"You have jumped out of the cultivation world and adapted to the peaceful life in the mortal world, if it weren't for the persecution of the old demon of Montenegro, how could I have come to you three times and twice? Because you can't escape the clutches of the old demon of Montenegro at all, with his ability, even if you hide in the imperial city of the human race, he also has a way to arrest you back, and at that time, you and I will be treated as if you are being pulled out of your soul, suffering endlessly, and you can't get reincarnation. ”
What the dryad said was sincere, and Mu Ji secretly cried when she heard it, after all, many things the dryad said were true, and she couldn't believe it.
