Chapter 046: Discovering the Demon Tree
When the Chinese New Year's Eve saw the suspicion in Xifu's eyes, he said, "Mr. Cai will bring some pieces of meat back to eat every night, don't be surprised......
Long Chinese New Year's Eve had to say something more, but was stopped by Long Bo drinking, "Chinese New Year's Eve, don't be arrogant!"
Long Chinese New Year's Eve lowered his head to eat and stopped talking.
Next, the four of them ate quite quietly.
Lombard and his wife quickly finished eating, Lombard went to the porter, and Lombard's wife sat and waited, waiting for others to finish eating, and then she had to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
After Xifu eliminated two bowls of rice bowls and more than a dozen pieces of chicken, he put down the dishes and chopsticks.
After eating, I found that Long Chinese New Year's Eve and Ah Niang were staring at themselves, and then they reacted, I am afraid that their big man's belly scared them, and they will not explain to them that this is because I am practicing the channeling technique and consumes a lot of energy, "I have eaten a lot since I was a child, haha, scared you?"
Both mother and son blushed and said, "No, no." "Haha, as if they had done something wrong themselves.
At this time, a loud swoop startled the three people. It is estimated that the buns smelled the fragrance of the food and came to forage for food. Xifu hurriedly grabbed a few pieces of chicken and put them in a bowl and put them in front of the buns.
Baozi gave her a roll of the eyes before lowering her head to eat. Halfway through eating, he raised his head and exclaimed, "There's big news for you!" and then ate it again.
Xifu hates people who like to sell guanzi the most, but this bun (demon master) learned to sell guanzi.
However, there was the presence of the mother and son on Chinese New Year's Eve, and she couldn't open her mouth to urge, so she had to be patient and enjoy the starving ghost appearance of the buns.
Fortunately, this guy ate enough pieces to breathe for a dozen breaths, and the mouth that couldn't fit a single human little finger was stuffed with five or six pieces of chicken, and Xifu didn't know how it did it.
It stands to reason that it must be the puppy's body that eats, but this body is only two fingers long, how can it hold such a large amount of food, could it be that it has a small world in its belly?
As soon as the buns were finished, they jumped to leave the cafeteria, and Xifu waved goodbye to Aunt Long and Long Chinese New Year's Eve, and then followed the anxious buns out of the cafeteria door, leaving only a cheerful back in front of Long Chinese New Year's Eve.
Although she was wearing a dark green men's robe and a black scarf, her figure was only a thin little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, which made people feel a desire to protect her when they saw her.
Long Chinese New Year's Eve shook his head, driving away the messy thoughts in his heart, what his identity is, he knows very well, he doesn't need Daddy to remind him at all - he is just the house slave of the curator.
Xifu naturally didn't know anything about the thoughts of the young man behind her, she just felt that he was a peer who could talk, strictly speaking, peers were not counted.
One person and one dog ran out of the cafeteria, and when they entered the small courtyard of the school hall, Baozi said: "There is a demon tree in the courtyard of the Jingshu Museum. ”
As soon as Xifu heard the demon tree, the image of the tree running around with long legs came to her mind, and she felt funny and terrifying when she thought about it, she was naturally interested in these strange things.
After running into the courtyard of the scripture hall, Baozi braked suddenly, and stood up humanely, raised his right paw and put it on his small mouth, signaling Xifu to silence.
Baozi is like a thief, standing on tiptoe against the wall and walking into a clump of hibiscus, trying not to touch anything or make a sound.
Xifu did the same, walking sideways along the wall.
Xifu walked more than 20 steps and came to the corner of the wall. There was a huge tree stump in the corner, not tall, only slightly higher than the foot of Xifu, if it weren't for Baozi saying: "This is a tree stump", she wouldn't have noticed this place at all, and thought it was just a small mesaga.
This place was originally a corner of the wall, surrounded by a large clump of hibiscus, even in broad daylight, not to mention that it was almost dark now.
Xifu took a few deep breaths, summoned the dantian qi in his body, and transported it to his eyes, only to find that this real thing is actually a tree stump, the diameter of this stump is a full zhang, you can imagine how spectacular this tree is when it is not cut down. But now it's only a finger's height above the ground.
The stump was not dead, and a waist-high sapling grew from the bark on the periphery of the tree. The sapling's stem was the thickness of Xifu's fingers, and it had a few forks growing crookedly, and dozens of leaves growing sparsely.
Look at the shape of the leaves, like a ginkgo tree. The color of the leaves is a dull gray-green, and when you look at it, you feel half-dead, as if you have been roasted by a fire.
"Is this a dryad?" Xifu unconsciously stretched out his hand to caress it, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was bitten on the wrist by the bun that jumped up.
This dog is really a man of action, he can bite and never speak.
Xifu shook his hands in shock, and there was more anger in his eyes when he looked at Baozi. But in Baozi's eyes, there was also the same angry look, and Xifu had no choice but to withdraw his hand, "Let go!"
The bun opened its mouth and fell to the ground. "There is an enchantment here, don't break it. ”
Xifu lowered his voice and said, "What will happen if you offend?"
"I don't know!" Baozi's tone was stern, "everyone can fall asleep and come back to check." With that, one man and one dog followed the same path and quietly exited the small garden of the scripture hall. Next to the garden is the classroom of the Scripture Hall, and behind the classroom is Cai Lan's bedroom. The two naturally linked this dryad with Cai Lan.
The two of them exited the courtyard of the Scripture Hall, and then entered the Arithmetic Hall, which was where Yue Jinlin taught, and now the courtyard was empty and quiet.
When the two of them walked here, they could speak boldly and confidently.
"Is that stump really a monster?" Xifu's eyes were full of disbelief.
"That's right, this dryad is at least more than a thousand years old, I don't know who sawed off the tree pole, almost died, and the cultivation is lost, at least it will take another five hundred years to regain its human form. Baozi turned his head and added, "There is still a remnant of demonic energy, and this demonic energy is very similar to the aura on Cai Lan's body." ”
"Is it possible that Cai Lan lives close to this tree stump, so he is contaminated with demonic energy, and he himself doesn't know about it?" Xifu frowned, his right hand on his cheek.
The bun spun around the ground a few times, as if chasing his tail, before he said, "It is possible, but if you look at the moist ground around the stump, there must be someone who is diligent in watering and irrigating it, and I can also smell the faint smell of blood and food, and maybe someone is using blood to maintain it." ”
"Someone killed someone to take blood and pour that stump?" Xifu suddenly took care of himself and Yue Jinlin.
"No, blood is not human blood, but animal blood!"
Hearing this, Xifu's heart suddenly relaxed, "No wonder I haven't seen a single mouse in this school, and I can't hear a single insect chirping." ”
Baozi stopped, glanced at her, and had a new understanding of this girl's observation.
"In this way, the person who provided the blood food for the dryad was not a criminal of the worst level. "It seems that Cai Lan is not an extremely evil person, Xifu has basically decided in his heart that the person who provides blood food for the tree demon is Cai Lan.
When this sentence was asked, I couldn't hear Baozi's answer for a long time.
She looked down at the bun, and saw that it was jumping on the grass, its body was soft, like waves surging on the sea, very rhythmic, this is not like what the demon lord can do, and the demon lord is not in the body of the bun at this time.
At this time, it was already dark, the sky was dotted with stars, and the crescent moon was thin and bright.
Where did this guy go after leaving Baozi's body? Naturally, he couldn't run far, he could only move within three miles of Xifu, maybe he ran to the stump.
Didn't this guy say that he would wait until he went to sleep and then check it out? Why did he run away by himself?
Xifu poked his head out of the porch and looked at the corner of the wall where the stump was, and sure enough, there was a tall white figure, who else could it be if it wasn't the demon lord?
The demon lord has never been a curious baby, and for a big monster who has lived for an unknown number of years, what else can arouse its curiosity?
With the help of the starlight, Xifu walked lightly into the courtyard of the Jingshu Hall, walked about thirty steps on the winding blue brick path, walked to the wall, and then quietly sneaked along the wall to the demon lord.
The demon lord was shrouded in a layer of pale white ball of light, this ball of light included the stump, Xifu wanted to step into the ball of light, but failed to pass through, as if hitting a thin film, soft but unbreakable.
The demon lord's left hand was in the shape of a flower, and his index finger flicked in the air, and a door melted on the ball of light.
The demon lord sat in the void, the white robe was gently flicked, and his face was shining with a light white light, and the whole person looked like a breathtaking demeanor, if it was placed in the outside world, it would definitely make many women confused.
It's a pity that Xifu is just a thirteen-year-old girl, and her love affair has not yet been enlightened.
Xifu's attention was all on the white spear, the spear was floating in front of him, the white lotus flower on the top had bloomed, a cyan lotus seed, flying out of the lotus canopy, landed on the stump, in an instant the lotus seed burrowed into the stump, and after a while, a thin white lotus root grew from it.
This thin lotus root is no more than the thickness of the big finger, one end is connected to the stump, and the other end is held in the hand of the demon master, first there is a cyan light wave from the demon master's hand into the stump, after two or three breaths, the light wave stops, and there is a white light wave from the root of the fine lotus root to the demon master's hand.
With the input of this light wave, the demon lord's brows trembled slightly, sometimes his brows were tangled together, and sometimes his eyelids jumped, as if he had entered a deep dream.
About a quarter of an hour later, the demon lord's body slowly landed on the ground, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot and exhausted, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for several nights.
As he opened his eyes, the spear beside him melted into his body and vanished.
"My lord, are you okay?" she had long been accustomed to his existence, this habit was not the habit of male and female affection, nor the habit of brother and sister affection, she couldn't say what it was, anyway, it was a very intimate existence.
"It doesn't matter, too many pictures are pouring in, and I am dizzy for a while. The demon lord's tone was calm and indifferent. Ling Xifu's worries were completely lifted at once.
