Chapter Seventy-Six: The Camphor Tree Spirit
Huaxi only felt that his body was sleeping next to the stove, and the constant heat from far away exhausted his body, and his body, which was still exhausted just now, recovered all of a sudden, and the place where the dagger was scratched before, the true qi was also slowly discharged.
Then my body finally regained my energy under the action of a steady stream of heat, and when I was about to sleep comfortably, I felt that something was sliding on my face at this time, cool and a little hard.
Then she heard the same voice she had heard before, only this time she said "Wake up, child", and it looped in her ear.
Under this voice, Huaxi finally opened his eyes slowly, but what greeted him was a dense foliage, sliding on his face, but the sound of the non-stop call could still be heard in his ears.
It seemed to know that Huaxi had woken up, but the branches in front of him slowly moved away from Huaxi's eyes, and Huaxi saw the dappled sunlight piercing under the thick green leaves, which hit her eyes a little dazzling.
Huaxi stretched out his claws to cover it, but he found that he had changed back into a human form at some point, but the true qi in his body had no reaction, and it seemed that the body of the fox would not be able to do it if he wanted to.
It was only when he felt that he was lying on the leaves that Hua Xi understood that it was this tree spirit that saved him.
"Thank you for saving me, I don't know what I should call you?"
Huaxi felt the same aura as his uncle outside the side gate of the National Teacher's Mansion before, that is, he knew that this tree spirit must be his elder, and he also saved himself, so he was a lot more respectful in words.
"I am a camphor tree spirit who has practiced for more than a thousand years, and I am older than the years you have practiced, so you can just call me Aunt Zhang. ”
The camphor tree spirit is obviously an approachable goblin, so even if it is the first time to meet Huaxi, there is not too much strangeness, but directly tells her the bottom line, and asks Huaxi to call her Aunt Zhangzhang to express her closeness.
Huaxi naturally agreed, it is rare to meet a kind-hearted goblin, and he doesn't care about your identity and kindly helps you, which is similar to his uncle.
"I just felt a breath of heat in my sleep, are you helping me heal?"
"I can only help you treat your physical exhaustion, and by the way, help you eliminate the true qi on the wound, and I can't help too much else. As for your cultivation because of the Heavenly Tribulation, I can't help you. ”
The camphor tree spirit said in a slow tone, but when he said something about cultivation, there was a hint of apology in his tone.
"Thank you so much! I can only recover slowly by myself, and others can't help me, so I can't blame you. ”
Huaxi hurriedly said thank you, and exhorted, after all, Aunt Zhang had already done so many things for herself, how could she make her feel uneasy about her own affairs.
"By the way, Aunt Zhang, your cultivation is higher than mine, why don't you transform into a shape?"
Huaxi herself was able to transform into a human form when she was a hundred years old, and Aunt Zhang is now a thousand-year-old cultivator, and she can transform a long time ago, but looking at the current appearance, Aunt Zhang obviously has no transformation, and is still using her own prototype.
"We dryads are different from other elves. ”
Aunt Zhang didn't feel strange when she heard Huaxi's question, because the general trend of goblin cultivation is to turn into a human form, which is better to sense the way of heaven, and she still maintains the appearance of the prototype, and whoever sees it will feel strange.
"Most of the tree spirits practice the path of nature, so keeping the prototype rooted in the soil is beneficial to our practice, but taking human form is not helpful to our way of nature. ”
Hearing this, Huaxi also understood, the Taoism that each goblin wants to practice is different, and it is based on its own choice, and Aunt Zhang's cultivation of the way of nature is also in line with the purpose of cultivating the archetype.
"By the way, why are you being hunted by hunters, there are very few people here, and that's why I chose to put down roots here?"
remembered the scene when Huaxi was chased and killed by a large group of hunters before, but Aunt Zhang was very puzzled, because she had been practicing here for so long, and she hadn't seen many people coming, let alone hunters, and it was rare to see them all year round.
"Well, it's a long story. ”
Huaxi sighed, since he was beaten back to his original form by the Heavenly Tribulation, it has only been a few months now, but what happened in it is complicated, and it is really not easy to explain it clearly for a while.
"I was beaten back to the prototype after the failure of the catastrophe, and then I happened to meet the country's national teacher, Jun Nanqi, and later became his pet.
Because of his status as a national teacher, there are many enemies, and Hate House and Wu are also implicated in me, which is why there is a hunt specifically for me this time. ”
After listening to Huaxi's story, Aunt Zhang still didn't understand it very well, because Aunt Zhang has always practiced in the forest, so she doesn't know much about the intrigue in the world, and her mind is not so complicated, so naturally she can't understand things like a national teacher.
So Aunt Zhang just replied ignorantly, and then said, "Then you can stay here and cultivate with me, no one can hurt you if I am here." ”
Huaxi understood that Aunt Zhang was well-intentioned, but she still shook her head and refused.
"Aunt Zhang, my cultivation method is different from yours, so I still have to go back to the world, and there are various reasons for my failure to cross the tribulation, and I have to go back to investigate it clearly, so I won't stay with you. ”
The camphor tree spirit did not feel sad, because she had always practiced as a tree, and letting Huaxi stay was only for Huaxi's safety considerations, since Huaxi was unwilling, she would not be reluctant.
"Alright then, I'll send you out when you're well. ”
Aunt Zhang still said slowly, and her gentle tone made people feel reassured.
"That, Aunt Zhang, can you change my clothes, my true qi can't be used now. ”
Huaxi said with some embarrassment, although Aunt Zhang is also a woman, there is always some embarrassment when she is in human form without clothes, not to mention that if someone passes by, it is not good to see it.
Aunt Zhang didn't think about it so much, but after listening to Huaxi's request, she thought about the clothes of the women she had seen, and used the leaves to conjure up a set of clothes, which looked a little simple and should be the clothes of the village girl.
"I don't remember many people in it, can you see this?"
