Chapter 5: Unexpected Harvest, Slaying the Old Dryad
Three miles away from Lanruo Temple, deep in the bamboo forest, the green bamboo is verdant, and the bamboo shadow is swaying.
Niu Man sat cross-legged on a polished and smooth stone, quietly placed two books beside him, silently refined a Jade Yuan Pill according to the previous practice, and after absorbing the surrounding aura and Yuehua, he finally turned his gaze to the side.
Time flies so fast, and it passes silently like the flowing water in the depths of a river.
It's been a year since he came to this world, in addition to practicing martial arts, Niu Man has been looking for Yan Chixia to have a fight every now and then, from the physical supernatural power to the newly practiced swordsmanship, one person and one demon use each other as whetstones, and the progress is rapid, Niu Man's body and fierce Xuanxin swordsmanship complement each other more and more, and always suppress Yan Chixia.
"This "Sutra of Many Hearts" is really extraordinary. ”
Niu Man picked up a book and looked at it, this ancient Buddhist book from Yan Chixia had only begun to emerge after a year, and it was very good. Niu Man took out the chanting from time to time, and comprehended the truth, only to find that it actually has the effect of calming the mind, resisting external evils, and preventing inner demons, and even realized a magical power of the gods, touching the original god, and has a certain resistance to the ability of Buddhism to demagogue.
"Master!"
Nie Xiaoqian came, sat down opposite Niu Man, after his teaching, the current Nie Xiaoqian is not what it used to be, not to mention the cultivation of Dajin, but also cultivated a few powerful supernatural powers, and the scope of activities is not limited to the surrounding area of Lanruo Temple, and at the same time, it has also brought a lot of information to Niu Man.
After explaining the difficulties in cultivation for Nie Xiaoqian in detail, and explaining the cultivation of supernatural powers, Niu Man asked unhurriedly, "Has anything happened recently?"
"Yes!" Nie Xiaoqian saluted respectfully, after a year of getting along, Niu Man's outpouring made this bright and intelligent female ghost grateful, and she was willing to play the role of Infernal Affairs, "Grandma will leave Lanruo Temple for a while tomorrow night, looking anxious but very excited, as if something happened. ”
Niu Man's expression moved, and he asked a little depressedly, "Do you know where that dryad is going?"
"I only vaguely heard words like Jinding Mountain from the words. Nie Xiaoqian thought about it and replied.
"Okay, the teacher knows, tomorrow night I will take action to bear the result of this old tree demon, you wait for the opportunity to move, and some of the ghosts in the temple who have killed too much will be killed, and the others will hand over their ashes to them, and leave by yourself." Niu Man commanded.
"Master!" Nie Xiaoqian was a little worried, she knew that her master was not small, but Grandma Shu's strength was deep-rooted, so she had less confidence in Niu Man, afraid that he would die.
"It's okay, the old dryad can deal with it as a teacher, if the color is bright today, you can leave for the time being. Nie Xiaoqian's worries were sincere, and Niu Man was relieved that he hadn't wasted his efforts in vain and began to wave his hands to drive people away.
"Yes!" Glancing at Niu Man, Nie Xiaoqian turned into a gust of wind and reluctantly left.
Niu Man, who was bent on the matter of the old tree demon, didn't pay much attention to Nie Xiaoqian, nor did he notice her expression when she left.
The old tree demon has been nesting on one acre and three points of land in Lanruo Temple for thousands of years, older than the older housegirl, this time he suddenly wants to leave for a while, and he has to go to Jinding Mountain, if there is no cat, he will definitely not believe it.
Besides, he also felt that it was time to destroy the old tree demon that was an eyesore, and he spent a year quietly collecting some information, so that he could understand that the old demon of Montenegro was at least the existence of the peak of the earth immortals, and it would be good to have more time to arrange and clear some obstacles as soon as possible.
The day passed quickly, that night, Niu Man hid around Lanruo Temple, and when the moon was three poles, he saw the old tree demon set up a demon wind and followed all the way.
Jinding Mountain, all the sounds are silent, the moonlight pours, the top of the mountain shines brightly.
Grandma Tree lowered her cloud head and landed in a clearing on the top of the mountain, walking step by step towards the depths of the dense forest, looking around from time to time, very vigilant.
Niu Man hung behind the tree demon, not in a hurry, although this tree demon has been practicing for thousands of years, the exercises are shoddy, there is no system, although I heard Xiao Qian say that this tree demon is obsessed with Buddhism, but his understanding is too poor, and his exercises are mysterious, as long as he does not take the initiative to show up and get close to the tree demon, there is absolutely no risk of exposure.
After following about half a cup of tea all the way, and making countless twists and turns, the dryad was relieved and walked towards its destination. Niu Man looked at the cautious dryad, and felt more and more that the purpose of her trip was not pure, and she was not in a hurry to show up.
As the dryad walked farther and farther away, the surrounding forest gradually thinned out, and when he turned a corner, he saw a small ruined temple standing in the wilderness, with withered vegetation and dilapidated temples, and the creaking sound of doors and windows that had fallen into disrepair when the mountain wind blew through.
"This tree demon really has a lot of eyes, one after another, this small temple is not in the dense forest, but in a remote clearing, no wonder there is no one to rely on, just by virtue of the cultivation of the immortals, he set up the old demon of the Black Mountain in the underworld in vain. ”
Niu Man muttered a few words in his heart, and used his magic powers to keep up.
"Baby, you need grandma to find it all the way. ”
Entering the temple, the dryad walked back and forth, rummaging, and finally found a wooden box of red sandalwood under a dead old tree.
The wooden box was opened, the sandalwood was fragrant, and two booklets came into view, on which the books "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" and "Mahamudra" came into view, and the dryad couldn't help but laugh out loud and was in a happy mood.
Niu Man's eyes were surprised, this distance was useless to him, and the two booklets were taken into his sight, and then he looked at the dryad who got carried away, a trace of cold light swept under his eyes, and a palm poked out, silently piercing through the air.
"Hmm!"
The dryad's heart was tight, her hair stood on end, and she felt that she was being targeted by something terrible, and her life was in danger, and her cultivation had reached their level, and she had a harbinger of her own blessings and misfortunes, not to mention that she had always been vigilant, and immediately subconsciously controlled a thick vine to hit the void, and at the same time rolled her body to the side, stepping sideways and retreating.
"Click!"
A palm slapped on the thick vine, the huge force shattered the vine, a thick pitch-black sap spurted out, the aftermath was unabated, the palm wind was fierce, and a deep pit appeared below, and the dust was flying.
Although the dryad avoided the attack of the bull barbarian, the vine was a branch of her body, and she was not shallowly injured, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Immediately raised his head and looked at Niu Man who appeared resentfully, with hatred, he stretched out his hand and killed Niu Man.
"Hey!" Niu Man was a little regretful, he didn't expect that he would be killed with one blow, but as a result, the old tree demon, in the face of the counterattack of the tree demon, used the unique talent and magic power in the inheritance of the demon clan, and controlled the raging fire, using fire to overcome wood, and ten thousand tree vines were not close to the body, and turned into ashes in a moment.
The bull was unforgiving, and controlled the flames to burn at the dryad, and the flames burned the sky, and the night sky was as bright as day, and it was red.
"Your Excellency, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to be such a killer and force me hard. ”
Manipulating the thick rattan branches against the raging flames, the dryad gritted his teeth.
The flames wrapped around the body, Niu Man smashed out with a punch, the flames were entangled, and the fire fist smashed down in the air, responding to the dryad's even more violent and ferocious attack.
Large branches were burned into charcoal, and with a punch down, the overwhelming vines were smashed into a large hole, and the tongues of fire spread along the vines, and the dryad roared, letting out a roar that was neither male nor female, "If you don't let me have a good time, then don't think about it." ”
The old bark of a big tree that covers the sky and the sun is cracked, appearing on the Jinding Mountain, and the thick branches of the trees are smashed down like cannonballs, and the dryad is desperate, manifesting the body against the enemy, and the cow is endless.
"Your body is away from Lanruo Temple, and you can exert a few percent of your strength and bring about your own death. ”
Niu Man decided to fight quickly, dodged a wave of attacks, the mana rose, smashed out with a punch, the blue light was vast, like a mountain smashed down, the air exploded, the sword qi was indulging, cutting branches and vines, this is Niu Man's combination of Xuanxin swordsmanship and the secret method of the flesh of the "Taigu Barbarian Niu Jue", the power is extraordinary.
"Boom!"
There was a big collision in this area, the mountains shook, and the dryad was smashed into powder, and the soul was scattered.
Niu Man put away the sandalwood box and the thousand-year-old tree heart that the dryad dropped after his death, and left in a flash.
