Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 339

[Chapter 339 Old Master Dryad (9)]

The tree spirits of the country of ten thousand trees died and were injured in this raging fire. In order to make up for their own mistakes, the old master applied his cultivation base to a number of seriously injured tree spirits to save their lives. , it was the only thing he could do. Fortunately, after the Wuhua Mountain was burned, nectar fell from the sky, removing the scorching heat of the land, allowing the roots of the tree spirits to recuperate well in the soil. After three days, there was basically no serious problem.

The old master inspected the situation of the tree spirits one by one, and suddenly, Xiao Mori pulled the old master aside.

“What’s the matter? Brother Xiaosen.”

“The elder didn’t embarrass you, right?” After the fire broke out, Xiaosen only had the opportunity to get close to the old master. Naturally, he was very concerned about whether the old master was punished by the elder.

The old master shook his head and sighed: “Even if the elder is not embarrassed, how can I forgive myself.”

“That’s true, after all, this matter started because of you.” Xiao Sen nodded, looking at the old master with some hesitation.

The old master found that Xiaosen seemed to have something to say, so he quickly asked: “What’s wrong?”

“I don’t know if I should talk about it.”

“What?”

“That day, I saw with my own eyes that officers and soldiers took Mu Qingshan and Qiaomei away. , it seems that when the emperor of Chao knew about the burning of the mountain in Muqingshan, he would punish him.”

“…” The old master has not finished one thing, and another one is on his mind. On the matter of Qiaomei’s mother and son.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on the old master’s face, Komori asked in a low voice, “Would you like me to go down the mountain to ask about it?”

“How can I implicate Brother Komori…” The old master knew that if he went down the mountain by himself and was known to the elders, he would have to strip his true essence. , It is not a trivial matter for the tree spirit to return to Yuanxiu.

Komori patted his chest and replied, “You and I are brothers, why do you need to say thanks.”

“In that case, I’ll ask Brother Komori.” The old master looked at Komori gratefully.

Komori nodded and turned to leave. Now the entire country of ten thousand trees is in chaos, all the tree spirits are busy healing their wounds, and no one notices Komori’s departure.

A day later, Komori came back and found the old master and told the old master what he had inquired about. The old master was very nervous after hearing this: “What did you say? A death sentence?

” I am furious, so I have decided to execute Qingshan at Caishikou tomorrow afternoon.” Komori nodded.

“What about Qiaomei?”

“Although Qiaomei is a family member of Qingshan, the emperor, for the sake of her mother’s innocence, does not intend to investigate Qiaomei’s crimes, and is afraid that Qiaomei will go to the court to make trouble, so after the execution of Qingshan. , will be released.”

“What can I do…” To the old master, although Qingshan was ruthless, as a father, he could not ignore it, not to mention the death penalty, but he was also the old master of the country of ten thousand trees. It is convenient to intervene, so I am anxious.

Komori knew the old master’s worries, so he offered a plan. After hearing this, the old master shook his head: “No, I absolutely can’t implicate you any more.

” Elder Jinghe knows, then if I go to the robbery field, no one will know, how can it implicate me?”

“Brother Xiaosen, things are not as simple as you think. When people see it, even if the elders and the others don’t know, won’t you be safe?”

“Don’t worry, I will be very careful.”

“No, I can’t let you take this risk.”

“Don’t do this . Hesitating, if you go in person, I’m afraid the trouble will be even bigger, and no one will be able to hide it!” Komori had to warn the old master about the consequences of his impulsiveness, because he knew the old master, and he knew that the old master would not ignore his son and the woodcutter. sister’s safety.

The old master only felt that his heart was very messed up, and answered lightly, “Let me think about it.”

“Hey!” Komori turned around and left in anger.

All night, the old master was thinking about how to rescue Qiaomei’s mother and son, but no matter how he thought about it, it didn’t work. The next day, during the morning class for the tree spirits, the old master was absent-minded and was seen by the elders.

“Master didn’t rest well last night?” the elder asked with his eyes closed.

Old Master Shi Li replied, “I think it was to help everyone heal, and it took some energy.”

“In that case, you won’t go to the morning class today. You can go back and have a good rest.”

“Thank you, Elder.” His decision gave him an inexplicable hope. He felt that this was an opportunity, but he did not expect that when he reached the border of the woods, the elders used the roots of ten thousand trees to stabilize Wuhua Mountain and trapped him. , put him into a long sleep.

“All the tree spirits obey the orders. From today, the old master of the country of ten thousand trees will be sealed. During this period, all the affairs of the clan will be handed over to me until the old master wakes up.” The elder’s voice penetrated the entire forest. The dryad trembled at it.

This is the longest sleep the old master has ever slept in. A sleep is a hundred years… A hundred

years later, in the early morning of the Wuhua Mountain, a tree wrapped tightly by its roots stuck its head out, and the birds in the wood were unexpectedly Run away and spread the good news.

“The old master is awake… The old master is awake…” The

old master opened his eyes loosely and saw the long-lost sunshine. When he counted his growth rings, there were a hundred more circles, which made his heart feel cold.

At this time, the call of the elders of the Country of Ten Thousand Trees came from the woods.

“Summon the old master!” The

old master knew that the elder must have seen through him back then, so he would trap himself with the roots of ten thousand trees, and hurriedly went to see the elder.

The tree spirits gathered together and watched the old master walk in front of the elder, without kneeling, the old master nodded lightly, the elder squinted and asked, “It’s been a hundred years, old master, have you made progress in your cultivation? ?”

“In deep sleep, I didn’t dare to wake up.” The old master lowered his head and replied. The elder asked in a deep voice, “Don’t you think that

a hundred years of deep sleep can better enable you to understand what is the law of nature and what is the law of all things?” I have already been punished, so I might as well make it public. If you hadn’t changed Qiaomei’s appearance, there would have been no such thing. At the time, it seemed that you saved her. As the elder of the country of ten thousand trees, you did not lead by example, so that the country of ten thousand trees suffered shame and disaster, and then…” The elder spoke for nearly a day, and finished all the mistakes of the old master. It was also at this time that the old master knew what happened after he fell asleep. It turned out that he not only affected the country of ten thousand trees, but also caused a catastrophe in the world…
