A large mansion built by the water, half hidden among the green willows, and in a small courtyard.

It was March, and a peach tree in the courtyard was in full bloom, with bright flowers, pink and light purple, and blooming in full swing. A gust of wind blew, and the fragrance of flowers was everywhere, making people feel refreshed.

There is a stone table under the peach tree, and there are two people sitting on both sides, one old and one young.

The old man's hair and beard were all white and serious. He was wearing a gray-white robe that was common in the Republic of China period, and his sitting posture was very upright.

The young man had long hair and a Taoist robe. Although he sat casually, he had a sense of demeanor. Under the power of the old man for decades of training, he did not lose his favor.

After looking at each other for a moment, the old man exclaimed: "Master Bai is indeed extremely arrogant, which makes me admire you."

The few are Bai Xiaolong.

Hearing the old man's praise, Bai Xiaolong curled his lips and looked at the woman in white who was feeding ants to Xiao Jia not far away, and smiled and said, "Old man, don't be vain. Although your granddaughter has made a guarantee for me, I am still worried. After all, this is the only male in your Zhao family. Do you always need to give me a guarantee?"

The old man nodded and smiled, "I believe in the Taoist priest's ability."

Bai Xiaolong snorted: "Don't believe me, I don't believe in myself. This time, your granddaughter is too tangled, and three encounters are considered destined to be. I am not so stern, so I reluctantly agreed, but if you don't make a promise in person, I will not take action."

Seeing Bai Xiaolong seemingly difficult to fool, the old man sighed and said, "Master, just take action. If you can't do anything, my Zhao family will definitely not blame the Taoist priest."

Bai Xiaolong said: "Since that's the case, then I'm starting work. You are waiting outside and don't disturb me. This time, it's a big deal for me. Whether it can succeed is also a time to test whether I have learned enough."

With a raised brow, Bai Xiaolong got up and walked towards the door of the yard.

There were two burly men standing in front of the door, with solemn faces and cold eyes. You could tell at a glance that they were well-trained.

Seeing Bai Xiaolong coming, the two of them looked at the old man.

The old man nodded gently.

The two burly men made way open the door.

Bai Xiaolong was not dissatisfied at all.

He was born in a military family. He had a prominent family background and was once burned by spiritual objects. He was also taken care of by his family, and he was ten times more powerful than the protection of the Zhao family.

Pushing the door open directly, Bai Xiaolong walked into the house.

Xiao Jia, who was eating ant, heard the sound of the door and saw the white dragon disappearing on the stone table. Then he realized that his buddy had started construction. It quickly swallowed the ant in its mouth and ran quickly towards the door.

The woman in white stamped her feet and stood up and said angrily: "I really can't keep it well. She is so kind to you, but she is still so kind to the master."

He said this, but the woman in white walked to the old man and said, "Grandpa, should we go in and take a look?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Let's wait outside."

The woman in white said worriedly: "Grandpa thinks, can Master Bai succeed?"

The old man was silent for a moment and sighed: "Leave it to fate. If it succeeds, it will be fine. If it fails, it will be Shuze's own fault."

After saying that, the old man looked at the woman in white and said, "Xuehua. What is your impression of Taoist Master Bai?"

The woman in white blushed and said shyly: "Why did grandpa ask about this?"

The old man said seriously: "Although Master Bai is younger than you, he is a really capable person. If Shuze cannot preserve it, my Zhao family's foundation will only rely on you. I am old, I have insufficient energy and have little lifespan. You need someone to help you."

The woman in white looked dull and said bitterly: "Grandpa, don't say depressed words, Shuze will definitely be fine."

The old man shook his head and said, "We have been disappointed too many times. We cannot just think about the good ones, we must always make the worst plan."

The woman in white was silent.

The old man suddenly said, "If Master Bai fails, I will find a way to delay him for a day. If Master Bai doesn't want to stay and help you, you know how to do it."

The woman in white was stunned, her face turned red, and she could not speak.

At this moment, Bai Xiaolong, who entered the room, saw a person lying on the bed.

It’s a bit wrong to say that it’s a human being.

Only half of this person is human, and the other half has become a small tree.

It's like on a person's body, suddenly half of the body mutated, turning from flesh and blood to wood.

This is the case with this person lying on the bed. His face is pretty and his age is almost the same as Bai Xiaolong. Half of his body looks "chiluo" except for his skin being a little white and his blood vessels are obviously experiencing a sudden rise, and he is no different from ordinary people. Half of his body has become a bark, and one arm has turned into a short tree more than one meter tall, with lush branches and leaves and blooming flowers. If you look closely, you will find that the tree is actually a peach tree. One of the young man's legs has become a root, and it pierces deeply into the ground in the room, making it impossible for him to leave the bed.

Bai Xiaolong sighed when he saw it.

From the Taoist knowledge I learned, it is a kind of possession of a demon soul.

The so-called possession of demon souls means that monsters that are about to transform into monsters but have not yet become demons, attaching their own souls to a human.

After possession, various mutations will occur in humans.

Just like now, this young man named Zhao Shuze was possessed by a tree demon soul that was about to transform into a demon. Now he absorbed the nutrition from the boy and transformed half of the demon body.

To be honest, this kind of possession is a way to die together. Once possessed, the soul of the demon cultivator will be entangled with the human soul, living and dying together, and then losing one's soul after death, and nothing will be left behind.

Ordinary demon cultivators would rather preserve their spiritual wisdom and strive for a slim reincarnation than do so unless they have deep hatred.

In other words, Zhao Shuze, who was lying on the bed, made himself mess with him like this.

To be honest, it is just to commit suicide by yourself.

After watching silently for a moment, Bai Xiaolong walked to the bed and touched half of Zhao Shuze's tree body.

As soon as his hand touched, the tree trembled for a moment, as if it was alive.

At the same time, Zhao Shuze, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes. His pupils also changed color, green, and looked quite beautiful. However, they only gave people a strange and terrible feeling in line with his current physical condition.

Bai Xiaolong and Zhao Shuze looked at each other and smiled and said, "We're meeting again."

When Zhao Shuze saw Bai Xiaolong, his eyes showed surprise and said excitedly: "Master, are you willing to save me?"

Bai Xiaolong said: "I can give it a try, but I don't guarantee that I can save you."

Zhao Shuze said bitterly: "As long as the Taoist priest is willing to try it, whether it is life or death, I will accept my fate. I have had enough of what I am now. As long as I close my eyes, I can see that thing cursing me, and I am almost collapsed."

Bai Xiaolong's eyes moved and asked, "If you want to cure you, you must first understand the grudge between you and this thing. Can you tell me?"
