Chapter 118: There is a demon in the old locust tree

He promised to save the old locust tree for the little girl, but in fact Li Fuyao was a little sure, but not great. After all, he was the kind of swordsman who walked slowly on the fork road, not the one where the monks of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism walked. Li Fuyao can't do many things in the roads.
After all, the swordsman's line, except for fighting, is not good at all things.
It's just that when he really started to look at the old locust tree, he had some eyebrows. The big locust tree in front of him was actually not far from the transformation, and it was almost a demon who had already set foot on the road of cultivation. After repairing, if you give this old locust tree decades of time, maybe this old locust tree can really embark on that road of cultivation, but before that, wanting to come to the fire is a big test given to it by the world. It chose to save the little girl, and left the answer in the big exam, but this answer is obviously not correct in the eyes of the world, so it failed to set foot on the road, but the situation is getting worse and worse. Li Fuyao When I was in Jianshan, I often heard Xi Chunan talk about the monks in this world. There is no need to say more about the monks of the three religions. The swordsman is just a sword, and there is no need to involve the flow of heaven and earth. It can be in the mountains and rivers. If the grass and trees have the opportunity to embark on that road of spiritual practice, they will experience such a big test more or less. The content of the test is simple. It is nothing more than a choice. The choice you make will directly affect the future path. The old locust tree who had a chance chose to save the little girl in that big exam, so he lost his luck and missed the road.
Saving people is a good thing, but there are so many things in this world that are the result of good deeds without rewards.
can not say it clearly.
Li Fuyao had a sword in his body, and the swordsman who had no hindrance between the world and the earth couldn't explain clearly.
It's just that this kind of little demon cultivator who has lost his luck, if an expert is willing to find it back, it is not difficult, but Li Fuyao who is standing in front of it now is obviously not that kind of expert.
But Li Fuyao still had a way.
Among the mountains and rivers, the swordsman's line of understanding can be said to be the first. After all, the swordsmen were the most feared monks in the first battle, and in the past six thousand years, there are occasional mountain and river monks in the demon land. Most are swordsmen.
He took out the lantern that ancestor Xu Ji gave him.
This is one of the few magic weapons on Jianshan, and it is also a magic weapon that can drive away evil spirits.
Of course, if Li Fuyao thought, this lantern could still illuminate something.
For example, the wisdom of this old locust tree today.
After lighting the lantern, Li Fuyao placed it under the old locust tree.
The light in the lantern flickered. After a while, a silver-haired old woman walked out of the tree and bowed to Li Fuyao.
The old woman knelt on the ground and said sincerely: "Thank you Master for helping me. The old woman is grateful. But the old woman is already a dying person. I beg the Master to save Wen Yao."
Li Fuyao looked at the silver-haired old woman and said calmly: "I can't say to rescue you, now it can only wake up your spirit. If this lantern goes out, you will still be like before. I want to know that day. When you talk about the beginning and the end of the fire, I will consider whether to rescue it."
The old woman nodded and began to talk about what happened that day. "On the first day that the young man came to Wen's house, the old woman had already realized that his real body was not a human being, but a sparrow. Because the realm is not high, in fact, it is much worse than the immortal master, but the transformation is there. The old woman has a low cultivation base, and although she has intelligence, she is still not the opponent of that person. Moreover, before she transformation, she thought What to do, the price to pay is a lot. Therefore, after the sparrow came to Wen's house, the old woman did something for the first time, but the sparrow did not hide and tuck it in the first place. In my eyes, under the tree, he explained the whole thing very clearly. It was said that this old man was a hunter in his previous life. When he went up the mountain to hunt, he shot both of his parents. The sparrow has been holding a grudge, occasionally When I set off on the road of spiritual practice, I wanted to go down the mountain for revenge, but Master Wen was dead in his last life. After the reincarnation, he became the current Master Wen. After the sparrow found it hard, he turned into Wenyan and entered as a distant relative. The Wen family then had the previous fire. It’s just that before the fire, the sparrow said when the fire was set off. Therefore, before the fire, the old woman tried her best to save Wen Yao, which is considered to have kept the last blood of the Wen family. , And it’s not counted as Wen’s kindness to the old woman for planting. Now the old woman is running out of time. If I want to come back recently, the sparrow will come back to harm Wen Yao, cut the grass and remove the roots, so I implore the immortal master to save Wen Yao, such a good family, The old woman really couldn't bear to watch them lose their lives in Huangquan. Besides, Wen Yao is not at this age. How to make it?"
Li Fuyao was silent and did not rush to speak.
The silver-haired old woman raised her head, the folds on her face were squeezed together, it looked a little scary, and she said desolately: "The fairy master can't help him?"
Li Fuyao still did not speak. What the old woman said before seemed reasonable, and there was no major omission, but Li Fuyao still did not want to believe her so easily. After all, he still felt a little suspicious in those words. For example, since the sparrow found Master Wen’s life through a lot of hardships, it is not easy, and knowing that there is an old locust tree here that has opened up, why tell the date of the fire? Isn’t it afraid of this hardship? Planning a bamboo basket to fetch water?
Since the sparrow didn’t swagger into the Wen’s family to kill directly, but was possessed by a distant relative, Wen Yan, which meant that he was still afraid of something, for fear of being known, otherwise he would not stay in the Wen’s house. It took a few days to start, according to Li Fuyao's conjecture, in fact, if this sparrow was not afraid of being discovered by some monks, it was because this Wen family had something to his heart and needed to plan carefully.
Otherwise things will not be so complicated.
But if it is the latter, then this old locust tree may not be the idea of ​​hitting that thing.
Mountain spirits, not enough cultivation base will not take the initiative to provoke the secular people, after all, there are still a group of people in this world who like to hunt down these demon cultivations with insufficient cultivation level, either to seize the demon pill or accumulate merit.
But no matter which kind they encounter, these little monks can't compete.
It's just that Dayu's border has always been more chaotic than many places, and there are not many people in charge.
The old woman said with grief, "As a monk on the mountain, is it possible for the immortal master to care about the life and death of the people down the mountain?"
Li Fuyao looked complicated, this was the third time he kept silent.
When the two confronted each other, the little girl Wen Yao had been looking at this side, but after Li Fuyao lit the lantern, the old woman Wen Yao who walked out of the tree could not be seen, only Li Fuyao was standing alone. In front of the tree, he was talking about something, but he couldn't hear it clearly. It was just that the little girl didn't dare to answer when the fairy brother was so serious.
He can only continue to say something where he is alone.
In front of the tree, Li Fuyao lifted the lantern and said calmly, "If you still don’t say clearly, I will put out the lantern. Don’t worry, I will save the little girl, but after you I will not guarantee that I can save you. You need to know this, but the prerequisite for all this is that you are frank. If you still have some thoughts for yourself, so you can hide it, not to mention much, I will blow out this lantern immediately."
The old woman looked up at the swaying lantern with a complicated expression.
Li Fuyao waited patiently.
After a while, the old woman made up his mind to tell the whole story completely. After Li Fuyao listened patiently, he nodded, and then did not say much, and blew out the lantern.
After putting away the lantern, Li Fuyao turned and looked at the little girl.
The little girl looked at Li Fuyao with hope.
Li Fuyao rubbed her head and said softly: "It's okay, it will be fine."
The little girl will be suspicious.
Li Fuyao didn't say much, but led the little girl to the steps in front of the house, handed her the buns before, and gave her the chopsticks. Then he laughed softly: "I stayed for a few days, let's It’s okay to save it slowly, but you have to eat well, or it will be sad when you see it."
The little girl who took the chopsticks nodded, a smile on her small face completely.
Li Fuyao didn't open it up, but felt a little distressed.
Then the little girl was eating seriously, while Li Fuyao looked out the door with his cheeks on his back, with a complicated expression.
He wants to save the old locust tree. It’s very simple, just use a demon pill that the locust tree gave him before. Let the old locust tree eat it, not only to bring back the dead, but also to walk a lot on the road of cultivation. Distance, but even so, it did not solve the fundamental problem. If the old locust tree still harbors evil intentions, what will happen to the treasure of this little girl?
Even if she didn’t plan, the sparrow went and returned. This old locust tree couldn’t stop it. What should I do if she couldn’t stop it? Not only would the little girl die in vain, he Li Fuyao would naturally take the little girl away, but could take it Little girl, what's the point actually?
The little girl's heart is here, and it is completely useless to take people away.
Therefore, the only thing Li Fuyao can do now is to wait for the sparrow until he feels that the old locust tree has no chance to protect the little girl and come to fetch the treasure.
That's when Li Fu shook his sword to cut the demon.
It's just that how long it will take, even Li Fuyao can't tell.
So after the little girl finished eating, when Li Fuyao went to return the empty bowl, he said to Liu Yuanlu by the way that he would stay and repair her house for the little girl. The food for the past few days has troubled Liu Yuanlu’s family. , Liu Yuanlu repeatedly agreed that the silver tiger alone was already worth a lot of money.
Not to mention a period of time, it is more than enough for Li Fuyao to stay in this village for a year or a half.
After Li Fuyao thanked him, he left Liu Yuanlu's house and went to Wen's house.
Standing in the yard, Liu Yuanlu sighed: "Young Master Li is a good man, really a good man."
The woman holding the child smiled and nodded.
When he returned to Wen’s house, Li Fuyao was holding a pierced broom in his hand. After he came to the yard, he first carefully cleaned the yard for the little girl, and then threw the broom to the little girl. Girl, left the small courtyard by herself, half an hour later, in the surprised eyes of the little girl, Li Fuyao, carrying two pieces of wood, returned to the small courtyard, dropped it on the ground and clapped his hands casually.
Before Liu Yibai went to the sword mountain, he was a swordsman, but before he became a swordsman, he was a carpenter, so he was proficient in carpentry work. Before that, Li Fuyao's several wooden swords, scabbard and the sword box behind were all from Liu. According to Bai's hand, Li Fuyao had also consulted Master Liu for a few days when he had nothing to do before. The craftsmanship is not exquisite, but it is still passable, so it is not too difficult to do something.
The two pieces of wood he brought back were just to make a wooden door for the little girl. As for that room, he needed to go to Liu Yuan Road to find some grey tiles from the tile kiln in the village.
It’s just that the expected semi-daylight scene can make a wooden door, but it disappoints Li Fuyao. Li Fuyao, who has been busy with this wooden door all afternoon, still hasn’t finished the work. It wasn’t until the evening when the moon and stars were scarce. Shaped, not yet polished.
Li Fuyao wiped the sweat from her forehead, and sat down on the steps. The little girl beside her had dim eyesight. After seeing Li Fuyao coming, she became energetic. After an afternoon, she had already had nothing to Li Fuyao. hostility.
After seeing Li Fuyao sitting over, the little girl took the initiative to ask: "Brother gods, do you gods know how to do everything?"
Li Fuyao frowned and waved: "How come?"
The little girl smiled innocently: "How can the fairy brother even know how to do it? I heard my mother say that everything is good."
Li Fu shook his head, "Where it is so easy, I know how to make a wooden door because someone taught it, and no one teaches it. For example, I don't know how to dress and dress your girl's house, and I don't know how to cultivate fields. Anyway. Many things won’t."
The little girl whispered melancholy at this time: "I don't know how to dress up. My mother said before that I will teach me when I grow up, but before I grow up, my mother will die first."
Speaking of the back, the little girl choked a little.
Li Fuyao rubbed her little head, pointed to the sky, and said softly: "Big Brother Shenxian, I like to watch the stars a long time ago. Do you know why? It's because some people who originally accompanied you should have After leaving you one day, you will become stars in the sky. Your parents are like this. If you think about them in the future, just look up at the stars."
The reason why Li Fuyao likes to watch the stars is definitely not this, but he had no choice but to say to the little girl.
The little girl raised her head and looked at the stars in the sky, and soon asked in distress: "Brother God, there are so many stars in the sky, which one is my father and mother?"
Li Fuyao smiled and said, "The two brightest ones are."
Then the little girl gave a cry, and soon closed her eyes and stopped looking at the two stars.
Li Fuyao asked in a low voice, "Why don't you visit them?"
The little girl said in a crying voice: "Big Brother God, I don't want my parents to see me like this.
Li Fuyao was silent, really couldn't find anything to comfort the little girl.
He just remembered those scenes of being alone in Baiyu Town before.
The same suffering, but Li Fuyao felt that he was in a much better situation than the little girl.
He thought for a while, but found that the little girl had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulder. In the moonlight, the little girl's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was obviously not asleep.
Li Fuyao held her small hand and slowly injected a breath of energy into her body to help her sleep.
Soon, the long breathing of the little girl sounded.
She has been tired for too long.
After the little girl was asleep, Li Fuyao removed the sword box behind her, took out the two swords, and put them on her lap to warm them up. Li Fuyao insisted on this method of raising swords, and never thought of giving up halfway.
Just after thinking about it, Li Fuyao lit the lantern again.
The silver-haired old woman walked out of the tree for the second time today.
With the help of moonlight, she looked at Li Fuyao with two swords on her lap.
This time, he directly frightened his legs and knelt down in front of Li Fuyao, shaking and saying: "The little demon doesn't know how offensive the fairy master used the sword before. Hope the fairy master atones for it."
In the mountains and rivers, the swordsman's ability to frighten mountain spirits and monsters is far simpler and more direct than that of the Three Sect monks.
Li Fuyao smiled calmly: "I suddenly changed my mind and wanted to give you a chance. If you want to take it, let's continue talking, if you don't want to, then forget it."
Before he finished his words, Li Fuyao took out the demon pill that Qinghuai had sent out before, and suddenly the old woman was extremely excited.
She knelt on the ground and said sincerely, "Master, please speak."
Li Fuyao whispered: "You make a contract with that little girl. It doesn't have to be too much trouble. It's the kind of contract that you die if you die. By the way, give me a ray of your soul and keep it for me. I'll give you a demon pill, let you take a few steps forward on the road of spiritual practice. Of course, I have a ray of your soul in my hand, and I will find you in the future. If you abuse the little girl maliciously, I will find you After that, I killed you, what do you think?"
The old woman has a complicated expression, wondering: "The secular people can only live for a hundred years. After a hundred years, Wen Yao will die when the little demon dies. How can the little demon do it?"
Li Fuyao frowned, "Then make a one-hundred-year contract. Within a hundred years, you will serve her as your master. If she is born, you will be born. If she dies, you will die. It is easy to take care of. After a hundred years of her death, you will be free. , But you still want to give me that ray of soul. I will come to see you once in a hundred years. If she is fine, I will return the soul to you, or else it will still be the same as before and kill you."
The old woman hesitated and did not rush to respond.
Li Fuyao sneered: "I will give you another reassurance pill. I will stay here and wait for the sparrow to come before leaving!"
The old woman made up her mind to agree, "The little demon will take care of Wen Yao within a hundred years, otherwise she will suffer."
Li Fushao nodded, spread his hands, and motioned to the old woman to hand over the wisp of soul.
Afterwards, it is easy to make a contract, just drop a drop of the little girl's blood on the heart of the old woman, and after the contract takes effect, her own vision will arise.
The old woman looked at Li Fuyao, and finally peeled off a ray of her soul and handed it to Li Fuyao.
After Li Fuyao took it, he calmly cut the little girl's finger with sword energy.
Release a drop of blood.
Dropped on the heart of the old woman.
Seeing that the contract is completed.
Finally, Li Fuyao threw the demon pill to the old woman.
