Strange Tales of the Ghosts

The tree spirits in the Land of Ten Thousand Trees died and were injured in this fierce fire. In order to make up for his fault, the old master applied his cultivation to several seriously injured tree spirits to save their lives. , this is the only thing he can do. Fortunately, after the fire burned Mount Wuhua, nectar fell from the sky, which removed the scorching heat of the land, allowing the roots of the tree spirit to take good care of themselves in the soil. After three days, there was basically no serious problem.

The old master inspected the tree spirits one by one. Suddenly, Xiaomori pulled the old master aside.

"What's the matter? Brother Xiaomori."

"The elder didn't make things difficult for you, right?" Komori had only now had the opportunity to get close to the old master after the fire, so he was naturally concerned about whether the old master would be punished by the elder.

The old master shook his head and sighed: "Even if the elder is not in trouble, how can I forgive myself."

"That's right. After all, this happened because of you." Xiao Sen nodded and looked at the old master hesitantly.

The old master noticed that Komori seemed to have something to say, so he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

"There is something I don't know whether to talk about or not."

"What's the matter?"

"That day, I saw with my own eyes that officers and soldiers arrested Mu Qingshan and Qiao Mei. It seemed that the emperor knew about Mu Qingshan's burning of the mountain and wanted to punish him."

"..." The old master has not finished one thing, but another is on his mind. The affairs in this clan have not been settled yet, and the matter of Qiao Mei and her son is hanging on his mind.

Seeing the old master's expression of confusion, Xiaomori asked in a low voice: "Do you want me to go down the mountain and inquire about it?"

"How can I bring trouble to Brother Xiaomori..." The old master knew that if he secretly transformed down the mountain and was found out by the elders, he would have to strip off his true energy and regain his vitality. This is not a trivial matter for the tree spirit.

Komori patted his chest and replied: "You and I, brothers, why do we need to say thank you?"

"In that case, please leave it to Brother Xiaomori." The old master looked at Xiaomori gratefully.

Komori nodded, turned and left. Now the entire Land of Ten Thousand Trees was in chaos. All the tree spirits were busy treating their injuries, and no one noticed Komori's departure.

One day later, Xiaomori came back, found the old master and told him what he had learned. The old master was very nervous after hearing this: "What did you say? The death penalty?"

"Well, the emperor was very angry about Qingshan setting fire to the mountain, so he has decided to execute Qingshan at Caishikou tomorrow noon." Komori nodded.

"What about the woodcutter girl?"

"Although Qiao Mei is a family member of Qingshan, the emperor did not intend to pursue Qiao Mei's crimes for the sake of her mother's innocence. He was also afraid that Qiao Mei would go to the execution ground to cause trouble, so he would only release Qiao Mei after executing Qingshan."

"What can I do..." For the old master, although Qingshan is ruthless, as a father, he cannot ignore it, not to mention it is a capital crime, but he is an old master from the country of ten thousand trees, and it is not convenient for him to intervene, so he is very worried. .

Xiaomori knew the old master's worries, so he offered a plan. After hearing this, the old master shook his head: "No, I can never hurt you again."

"Why can't you make sense? As long as you guard the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Trees and don't let other tree spirits and elders know about it, then no one will know about me going to the Tribulation Field. How can it implicate me?"

"Brother Xiaomori, things are not as simple as you think. If you really show up at the law field and let a knowledgeable person see it, then even if the elders and others don't know, wouldn't you be in a position to protect yourself?"

"Don't worry, I will be very careful."

"No, I can't let you take this risk."

"Don't be so hesitant. If you go in person, I'm afraid the trouble will be even bigger, and no one will be able to hide it!" Xiaomori had to warn the old master of the consequences of impulsiveness, because Xiaomori knew the old master, and he knew that the old master would not ignore him. The safety of his son and his sister-in-law.

The old master felt that his heart was in chaos, and he replied calmly: "Let me think about it."

"Hey!" Komori turned around and left in anger.

All night long, the old master was thinking about how to rescue the woodcutter and her son, but no matter how many ways he tried, it didn't work. The next day, when giving morning lessons to the dryads, the old master was absent-minded, and the elder noticed it.

"Old Master, didn't you get a good rest last night?" the elder asked with his eyes closed.

The old master saluted and replied: "I think I spent some energy on helping everyone heal."

"In that case, don't go to morning class today. You can go back and have a good rest."

"Thank you, elder." The old master nodded and bowed out respectfully. The elder's decision gave him an inexplicable hope. He felt that this was an opportunity, but he didn't expect that when he reached the edge of the woods, the elder used his plate to stabilize him. The roots of thousands of trees in Mount Wuhua trapped him and put him into a long dormancy.

"All the tree spirits obey your orders. From today on, the old master of the Land of Ten Thousand Trees will be sealed. During this period, all matters within the clan will be handled by me until the old master wakes up." The elder's voice penetrated the entire forest, and all the people The dryads trembled.

This is the longest sleep the old master has ever slept, lasting a hundred years...

One hundred years later, in the early morning, a tree wrapped tightly with roots poked its head out of the woods in Wuhua Mountain. All the birds in the woods were running around, spreading the good news.

"Old Master woke up...Old Master woke up..."

The old master opened his eyes with trepidation and saw the sunshine that he had not seen for a long time. He counted his annual rings and found that there were a hundred more rings, which made him feel cold.

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

"Summon the old master!"

The old master knew that the elder must have seen through him and trapped him with the roots of thousands of trees.

Go and see the elders when called.

The dryads gathered together and watched the old master walk up to the elder. Without kneeling down, the old master nodded gently. The elder squinted and asked: "It has been a hundred years, old master, have you improved in your cultivation?" ?”

"I'm deep in sleep, but I don'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 sleep can help you understand the law of nature and the law of all things better than a hundred years of wakefulness?"

"I hope the elder will make it clear."

"Since you have been punished, I might as well make it public. If you hadn't changed the appearance of the woodcutter girl, there wouldn't have been these events. At that time, it seemed that you saved her. Later, whether you saved or harmed her, you I know in my heart that as an elder of the Country of Ten Thousand Trees, you failed to set an example, so that the Country of Ten Thousand Trees suffered humiliation and disaster, and then..." The elder spoke for nearly a day, finishing all the mistakes of the old master.

It was also at this time that the old master learned 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...
