Strange Tales of the Ghosts

Snow Fox, Dryad, and Xiaoying came to the Wangchuan River. Looking at the bone-eroding water, Xiaoying asked worriedly: "Sister Xuehu, do you think he can survive?"

"Have you forgotten sir's instructions?" Snow Fox smiled, stretched out his hand to conjure a white silk ribbon, and tied it around the dryad's waist. "Wait until I go to the other side first, and then you jump into the Wangchuan River."

"I..." The tree spirit had just said two words, and the little parrot pushed and said: "Don't be an old man. If you are an old man, be careful as I push you in."

Snow Fox glanced at the little parrot and said with a smile: "Little parrot, don't scare him." After saying that, he flew over the Wangchuan River like a fairy in the sky. On the Wangchuan River, besides Wangchuan, there were only Snow Fox and The parrot can use its spiritual power to fly over, but nothing else, even just a feather, can float in the air.

The little parrot saw that the snow fox had flown to the other side, and hurriedly said to the tree spirit: "Jump, old man."

"Thank you girl, if I..."

"No!" The little parrot saw the tree spirit struggling, and really pushed the tree spirit into the Wangchuan River. In an instant, the water of the Wangchuan River submerged the tree spirit. The snow fox stretched out his hand to pull Bai Ling, and the tree spirit was covered by the snow in the river. The fox dragged him to the other side. When he landed, the tree spirit was already dying. At this time, the little parrot flew to the other side and poured the resurrecting dew on the tree spirit. The dew, with white light, soaked into the tree spirit's body. After a while, the incomplete tree spirit appeared intact on the snow fox's body. In front of you.

"Hey, it's okay." The little parrot patted the dryad with his eyes tightly closed.

The tree spirit opened his eyes and saw that he was intact, and said gratefully: "Thank you two girls, my tree clan..."

"Okay, there is no time. You should hurry up and fulfill Sir's second rule now. It's too late. I'm afraid it will be too late for Sir to save me." Snow Fox urged, and helped the tree spirit up.

After the tree spirit got up, he stood on the other side, looked at the turbulent river, and let out a long sigh...

The tree is a tree of the five elements. It grows from the sky and the earth. It is left by the ancient gods. It has served all generations and protected the earth. It grows into a tree in ten years and dies in ten thousand years. Its roots penetrate five feet into the earth and are as strong as a diamond. It is the ancient tree. God once told the tree tribe not to hurt others even though they have divine power, but to protect and love others. From then on, the tree tribe did not dare to disobey the orders and fight against humans even if they were annihilated. They were happy to suffer the fate of being cut down by humans for thousands of years. He is carefree in the mountains, his sorrow is like firewood in the world, he neither mourns nor avoids it.

This is the fate of all trees, but it is the tree spirits who refuse to accept it. Therefore, over thousands of years, there have always been trees that have become spirits and become enemies of humans, wanting to overturn their own destiny. In the end, they were all executed by the elders of the tree tribe. In order to limit the tragedy of trees hurting people, the elders of the tree clan sealed the spiritual power of all the trees in the world without the orders of the ancient gods. The possibility of becoming tree spirits became even lower, so the tree spirits existing in the world Not many. In the end, only the Wuhuashan Tree Clan was left. The Wuhuashan Tree Clan was the most primitive seed sown by the ancient gods in the human world. Even the elders’ seals could not control the trees from becoming spirits. Later, they became the management The kingdom of thousands of trees.

The highest manager of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Trees is the Elder, followed by the Old Master. The Elder is responsible for managing the daily affairs of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Trees and supervising the behavior of the trees. The Old Master is responsible for teaching minors tree knowledge, such as growth, and the rules that should be followed by tree spirits. . Because trees survive for a long time, the elders have not been replaced since the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Trees. There are only two generations of old masters. The second generation of old masters is the tree spirit who came to seek medical treatment from Mr. Wangchuan. He has no name. The spirits all call him Old Master.

Being in the deep mountains, I don’t have much contact with people. Except for the woodcutter who goes up the mountain to cut trees, very few humans come to the mountains. When the old master was still young, he once met a human being called a woodcutter who lived at the foot of Wuhua Mountain. A woodcutter's daughter, seventeen years old.

One day, after finishing his spiritual practice, the old master was playing in the mountains. Suddenly, he heard the sound of cutting down trees. The old master was curious as to which brother or sister was suffering from martingale again, so he quietly walked over there and hid under the martingale. Looking behind the big tree, I saw that the person cutting down the tree was actually a girl. There were many beans growing on her face, like mushrooms unearthed after the rain, which made people uncomfortable. The girl waved the ax in her hand and chopped down a tree that was not very thick. She couldn't hear it, but the old master could hear it. He heard his brother making ouch ouch sounds. People are not trees, and I don’t know how painful it is to be cut down. The old master couldn’t bear to see his brother suffer, so he turned into a small tree and stood next to his brother.

The woodcutter who cut down the tree was probably tired. She sat down to rest after cutting half of the tree. Naturally, she didn’t see how the tree moved. When she had rested enough and stood up to continue cutting, she noticed something was wrong and tilted her head to look. The small tree next to it is very old.

"Hey, when was there a tree here..." The woodcutter couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, the small tree just blocked her from cutting down another tree.

The old master felt proud for a while and thought to himself, it depends on how you cut it now.

At this time, the woodcutter looked for the ax and circled around the small tree. She sighed and said to herself: "Forget it, although you are blocking me, you are still so young. It would be a pity to cut you down." After that, he carried the ax and walked to the other side of the woods.

After the woodcutter left, the half-cut tree screamed, "Ouch, it hurts me to death."

"Are you okay? Brother Xiaomori." The old master asked with concern.

The chopped tree shook its head, the leaves swayed, and replied with a smile: "Thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I would have died at the hands of the woodcutter today, and I would have to start over." The so-called starting over, It means the regeneration of trees after being cut down. This is the law of tree growth. If it is cut down by humans during the growth process, as long as its roots are not disturbed, the tree can live again through the roots. However, the practice must be abandoned and it needs to be practiced again to become successful. Refined.

The old master smiled mischievously and asked puzzledly: "Then why don't you avoid it? Isn't it enough not to get chopped by her?"

"No, this is

The rules set by the elders, let alone being beaten, under the gaze of humans, even if it is burned by fire, we cannot move even half a step. "The chopped trees shook their heads and sighed.

The old master had also heard of it, but he didn't quite understand it yet. He touched his head and asked, "Brother Xiaosen, what did you call that human woman just now?"

"Woodcutter."

"Woodcutter?"

"Well, although she looks ugly, she is a kind-hearted woman. Her father is old and her mother is ill in bed. She relies on her to chop wood for a living."

"How do you know?" The old master looked at Brother Xiaosen blankly.

Brother Xiaomori touched the old master's head and replied with a smile: "You will know if you have been chopped by her."

"..." Although the old master was young, he was not stupid. Being chopped would be very painful and he didn't want to do it. But the woodcutter made the old master very curious, so he followed her secretly.
