Chapter 2: Locust Tree Demon
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Dongling Mountain was already covered with heavy snow. On the Sanxiantai in the front mountain, two strong disciples were helping a woman in plain clothes slowly walk down the stone steps. The woman's hair was blown to pieces by the wind, and her face looked pale.
Her lips were as pale as paper, with a trace of blood on the corners of her lips. Her eyes were numb, seemingly blind but not blind, and there was a heartbreaking determination in her expression. Every time she took a step, her footsteps trembled, and she needed the support of the two people to hold on.
Stand firm.
"Ling Huayin, a disciple of Dongling Mountain, stole the Goddess Fruit and had a private fight with fellow disciples, injuring everyone and accidentally injuring the elders. Today, his cultivation will be abolished and he will be expelled from the sect." The majestic and rich voice of the master resounded throughout Sanxian Terrace, and then
He asked in a regretful tone: "Ling Huayin, considering that you were once the disciple of Yunyangzi, and have carefully guarded the sacred tree in Dongling Mountain these years, I will let you go down the mountain. Do you still have something to do?"
What to say?"
Ling Huayin, who lost her support, fell to her knees on the ground, holding her hands on both sides of her body, and said without any desire or desire: "I have nothing to say, and I have no shame to stay in Dongling Mountain anymore. Thank you for the light punishment." After that, she said
He slowly lowered his body and bowed twice to the leader.
"Since you plead guilty, then hand over the Goddess Fruit."
Ling Huayin paused for a moment and said angrily: "Before I hand over the Goddess Fruit, can the master allow me to see someone?"
"Who do you want to see?" The headmaster gave her an indifferent look.
"I want to see my senior brother." After Ling Huayin said that, the crowd began to rustle, you looked at me and I looked at you, and finally made way consciously. Ling Huayin raised her head, her eyes were burning, and she was a little resentful.
He looked at the man standing behind the crowd.
This person's name is Su Yan, he is Ling Huayin's senior brother and Ling Huayin's childhood sweetheart. Just three months ago, Su Yan was ordered to go down the mountain with his senior sister to eliminate demons. Before they parted, the two of them had just made a private life decision. Ling Huayin
She made an agreement with Su Yan that they would achieve enlightenment together and leave Dongling Mountain to become a couple of gods and immortals, so they took the risk to steal the magical fruit that takes thousands of years to grow from the sacred tree in Dongling Mountain. However, just after Su Yan returned to the mountain and the event was completed, Ling
However, Hua Yin saw the scene of her beloved man kissing her senior sister. The deep friendship of more than ten years collapsed overnight. Ling Hua Yin never understood why the loyal and upright Su Yan just
After telling her that he would never let her down, he turned around and fell in love with someone else. How could someone who was shy for a long time even hugging someone kiss another woman so affectionately?
Su Yan looked at Ling Huayin who was lying on the ground with painful and guilty eyes. This person who was once so close to her now had an expression of hesitation on his resolute and cold face. His fingers were clenched several times and several times.
She let go, her expression seemed to hold a thousand words, but in the end she just sadly called her name "A Yin".
Ling Huayin smiled bitterly, already understanding his choice. Su Yan would rather betray her than stand up and say a word for her. Ling Huayin had never felt so heartbroken. She asked in despair: "Senior brother, what are you doing to me?"
Before leaving Dongling Mountain, I only want to ask you one thing: tell me honestly, in the past ten years, has there ever been a day when you really liked me?"
Facing such a frightening questioning, Su Yan's eyes flashed with pain. He took a step forward, as if he wanted to say something, but was held back by a hand behind him. He looked back and saw his senior sister Li Nianxin.
. I saw Li Nianxin cast a sad look at Su Yan. Su Yan just glanced at her, then held her hand tightly, turned to Ling Huayin and said: "I'm sorry... A Yin, I'm sorry."
I'll kill you." After saying that, he closed his eyes, as if trying to hide the bitterness in his eyes.
Seeing the two of them like this, Ling Huayin suddenly laughed at herself, causing her pale face to regain some blush. Then her eyes flickered back and forth on the faces of Su Yan and Li Nianxin, and her tone changed from just now.
Unwillingness turned into ridicule: "Senior brother, did senior sister give you some medicine to prevent you from even telling the truth? Well, since you have betrayed your trust, why should I expect anything more from you? I'll give you this thing back!"
I wish you and Senior Sister Nianxin a long life." After saying that, Ling Huayin threw a white jade pendant at Su Yan's feet, then she glanced at Su Yan, and swallowed the Goddess Fruit in one gulp with grief and anger.
This move shocked everyone present. Just as the leader slapped Ling Huayin in desperation, a white light suddenly appeared around Ling Huayin, and all those approaching were blocked from the light.
Ling Huayin looked at her glowing body in disbelief, and then disappeared in front of everyone.
A few years later, a golden barrier suddenly appeared at the foot of Dahuang Mountain near Zhonghuang Mountain. Following the golden light, only a few nightmares were seen flying down. The golden barrier gradually shrank, and finally fell on a woman in blue.
"...You ants are just trying to confuse me?" The light voice could not hide the contempt and arrogance. The woman in blue waved her sleeves, and the nightmares fled, leaving only the woman in her hands.
Suddenly several rays of golden light burst out, and then transformed into a large net, and all the escaped nightmares were collected into a white bottle.
The woman turned around and walked quickly towards the girl in yellow who was huddled under the tree. She reached out her hand in a friendly manner and comforted her: "Little girl, get up. I have subdued those monsters."
Ji Rumeng removed the sleeves that covered her face and looked up at the owner of the voice. The person in front of her looked like a man in his twenties, with eyebrows like distant mountains, hair like a black waterfall, and eyes filled with stars, soft and elegant, just like the sky in the sky.
Like a fairy. She timidly stretched out her hand to the palm of the woman in blue. The woman nodded slightly and pulled her up from the ground.
"Those monsters just now are nightmares. Nightmares like to gather in cold and damp forests and feed on people's dreams. Although they won't harm their lives, they won't do anything good. Girl, you are so young.
It's better not to run around." The woman looked to be a few years older than her at most, but she warned her like an elder.
Ji Rumeng looked around fearfully, approached the woman, and asked, "Will they still show up?"
"I can't say for sure. Girl, where do you live? Just in case, I'll take you home."
Ji Rumeng smiled at the woman and replied: "My family lives nearby. If my sister doesn't mind, please send me back! My name is Ji Rumeng. My sister just calls me Rumeng. What should I do?"
How about calling me sister?"
"No need to call me sister, just call me sister..."
As Ling Huayin spoke, her head suddenly started to heat up, and she replied in a confused manner: "Ling Huayin." Ling Huayin almost blurted out, although she didn't want to reveal her name easily, but when she saw Ji Rumeng
The sincere look in her eyes seemed to have an inexplicable alluring power, causing her to go against her original intention.
After answering, Ling Huayin woke up suddenly. She felt as if she was being controlled just now. The palace bell hanging on her waist also vibrated abnormally, as if she sensed an unusual evil spirit.
Ling Huayin paused and looked at Ji Rumeng in front of her. Ji Rumeng seemed to notice her hesitation, turned back and smiled at Ling Huayin: "Sister Yin, why don't you leave? My house is right in front."
Ling Huayin continued to walk forward calmly, thinking that she might have left a safe place. She came out in a hurry today and didn't bring any magic weapon with her, so she couldn't let her discover her suspicions.
This girl is not a human being, so she may have fallen into a trap, and she did not notice the demonic aura in the girl at all. This demon must have a high level of cultivation. Ling Huayin's thoughts were spinning rapidly in her mind, she stopped and said to
Ji Rumeng said: "Miss Rumeng, please wait a moment. I suddenly remembered that I left something behind when I was chasing those nightmares. I would like to go back and pick it up first before sending you home."
"Ah? But my house is almost here. Sister, please send me back first and then go get it. I'm scared to be here alone. Anyway, no one comes here in the mountains, and I won't be picked up by anyone." Ji Rumeng blinked.
Staring at Ling Huayin's face without blinking, she said coquettishly.
"That thing is very important and must be taken. How about I set a barrier here for the girl. As long as you don't go out, those little monsters will not dare to approach you." Ling Huayin thought to herself, if Ji Ru could be captured
If Meng tricked her into the barrier, she could be trapped for a while.
It's just that Ji Rumeng is not that easy to deceive. She seemed to realize that Ling Huayin had seen through her identity, so she smiled and said, "Oh? What is so important? It must not have been given to her by the heartless man in my sister's dream.
Is it my sister's thing?" Ji Rumeng giggled.
Ling Huayin quickly grasped the hilt of the sword on her side, took a step back, and said warily: "Who are you? A companion of the Nightmare?"
Ji Rumeng covered her mouth and smiled playfully, with an innocent look on her face, "Sister, what are you talking about? I just want to make friends with my sister, so I had to peek into my sister's dream. How can I be friends if I don't fully understand my sister?
"After saying that, she walked towards Ling Huayin with a smile.
Ling Huayin glanced left and right and ran away quickly. Ji Rumeng seemed to let her escape deliberately. Ling Huayin looked back and didn't see the demon chasing after her. She was about to take this opportunity to go back and get the magic weapon, but
Unexpectedly, countless huge vines like tentacles suddenly stretched out from the front, attacking her, cutting off a few branches, and then growing new ones at the broken places. Soon, Ling Huayin was surrounded. Like arms.
The vines wrapped tightly around her body and lifted her high. After a while, she felt that she could not breathe smoothly. The slender branches wrapped around her neck several times, and Ling Huayin's face suddenly turned red.
Zi, how could she still look like she had the fairy spirit before. Those small and sharp vine tips pierced her skin, and bright blood drops dripped on the vines, making a burning sound like a flame, "sizzling" twice.
There was no sound.
Ling Huayin then remembered that her master once told her about a great demon of the Ji family that had been cultivated for thousands of years. She heard that this demon was cultivated from a locust tree and became a spirit. It lived by sucking human blood and eating human flesh. Every time it ate a person, it would
It turned into that person and continued to harm people. Because the demon was so popular, it was difficult to tell whether it was a human or a demon. Ling Huayin regretted her carelessness and gradually became anxious. It was not that she was afraid of death, but just
I am afraid that I will bring shame to the master again.
Helplessly, Ling Huayin's mana is now limited and she cannot cast fire spells. She just tried to use blood as a spell, but it only hurt the demon's fur. She secretly sighed in her heart that she would die at the hands of this locust tree demon today. What a pity.
The task assigned by the master has not yet been completed, and she still feels a little regretful. While she was sighing, Ji Rumeng walked to Ling Huayin's feet. The vines wrapping around Ling Huayin were exactly the tentacles growing out of her body.
Ji Rumeng raised her head and looked at Ling Huayin who was unable to move above her head. The expression on her face was very strange, like surprise and surprise. Then she tentatively pierced the other side of Ling Huayin's neck with the tip of the vine.
He quickly extended the vine to his mouth and licked it. Ji Rumeng showed an expression of satisfaction and enjoyment, and said to Ling Huayin with unfinished content: "This is the first time I have tasted it in so many years.
See such delicious blood, is this the taste of divine blood?"
