always a fairy

Chapter 14 Are They Humans or Demons?

Bai Yujing opened his eyes wide.

He didn't die, nor was he swallowed by the monster, but was tightly wrapped by the leaves. Not only did he not suffer the slightest injury, but his body was also very comfortable.

When he lowered his head, he could see that the two elders of Hanging Mountain had come.

Isn't this dryad a demon?Why don't you kill me?But you want to save me?

Just as he was thinking, the two were not far in front of him.

"Look, the three of 270 are not as mysterious as you said? They committed suicide, murderers? If these people had this ability, they would not be still prisoners by now."

A lewd smile appeared on the face of the broken-armed old man, "It's my brother, what happened to those monsters of yours? You just said that you caught some monsters yesterday, but there are... Tu Shan's?"

"Hahaha." The purple-haired old man laughed, glanced nonchalantly at the wailing crowd in the prison, and raised his voice: "How many years have you been my senior brother? How can I not understand your mind? Can you tell me about this matter?" Remember not to mention it to the head teacher, otherwise there will be no rewards, and you and I will be punished."

The two were chatting and laughing just now, but when they saw the old tree, their faces became slumped and became unhappy. The old man with the broken arm stepped through the railing first, and without saying a word, he directly pierced the long sword into the bark of the old tree.

The blood flowed down the bark, and the leaves made a rustling sound, like a dying old man, exhausting all his life, to bear the sword firmly.

Bai Yujing's eyes widened and he looked sideways, but the face floating on the tree branch beside him shook his head at him.

That face seemed to appear anywhere on the bark. At this moment, he clenched his teeth, as if holding on, to ensure that he would not make any sound.

But the old man with the broken arm seemed not to be reconciled, and stabbed three swords again.

The blood flowed like water, and the old man with the broken arm felt much more comfortable now. He smiled and said, "You took my arm back then, but now I torture you every day, and I must torture you until your bones are broken!"

Gu Shu was almost fainted, but he still held Bai Yujing high, not moving a bit.

Seemingly satisfied, the old man with a broken arm walked to a corner of the prison and opened a black iron box.

Bai Yujing looked intently, and there was actually an oil lamp in the iron box. The old man with a broken arm lit the oil lamp and took it out, walked to the side of the ancient tree, put it on the root, and then took a picture with satisfaction. Clap your hands and leave.

The two of them didn't go through the two wooden doors. Instead, they pulled up a dark yellow barrier from the side of the ancient tree and walked in.

After they left, the barrier fell again, and everything became normal again.

Bai Yujing stared at that face, not daring to show his breath, and only now did he dare to take a closer look, and could see that it was the face of an old man, perhaps because of being treated like this, he was much more decadent now.

Gu Shu also stared at him, and said after a while, "You... are not from the Tu Shan clan."

Bai Yujing swallowed, shook his head and said, "I'm not."

Gu Shu said: "Then you should hide and not appear here. Once the blood in your body is discovered, there will be endless troubles."

Bai Yujing's eyes widened and he said, "You... how do you know?"

The ancient tree sighed, and replied in a very small voice: "People can't see it, but our demon race can smell the spiritual energy. Although you don't have demon energy on your body, you have demon blood. After I touch you, I can feel it." .”

Bai Yujing didn't know how to answer right now.

Gu Shu just looked at him like this and didn't speak.

Bai Yujing's heart was in turmoil, and he thought: "I don't know if this old tree is a good person or a bad person. If he tells my secret so bluntly, he must want to coerce me. Why don't I find a chance. Kill him? No, no, no... how can I think this way, he has suffered so much here, maybe it is impossible to get out in this life, how can I kill him? Such a poor person... I... How could I pity a monster! They are monsters who cannibalize and harm people!"

After a long silence, Gu Shu said, "What are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything." Bai Yujing casually made up something that he couldn't believe, and regretted it after saying it.

"You're thinking about how to kill me, aren't you?" Gu Shu smiled, but Bai Yujing immediately denied it, and was interrupted by Gu Shu again.

The ancient tree said: "When Tu Shan gave you the Xuan Yaomai, he must have told you that no matter what, you can't spread this matter, so you want to kill me, but you can see how that person treats you like that just now. I feel pity again, and I can't bear to do it, right?"

Bai Yujing's thoughts were completely seen through, but he still kept a straight face and tried not to show any expression.

"Your eyes have betrayed you." Gu Shu said in a low voice.

"I!"

Bai Yujing's expression changed, he became panicked, timid, and vigilant.

When a person's mind is accurately guessed, the powerless panic is the best proof.

"Hey..." Gu Shu sighed, "Try it like this, and it works out."

Only then did Bai Yujing realize that he was scaring himself, and thinking that he had been seen through, he calmly said, "You're right."

"Then you should kill me." Gu Shu said.

"Why?"

"Because he treats me like this, he burns my veins with candles every day, and stabs my body with a sword, all because I cut off his arm. This is the cause and effect between me and him, and what has it to do with you? Relationship? Your secret is far-reaching and involves your life. You shouldn't be looking at your life carefully, but you want to pity mine, it's really stupid!"

The ancient tree's voice was very deep and slow, but every word was clear, and at the same time every word entered his heart.

Bai Yujing swallowed, and said blankly: "This is..."

"This is the right choice." Gu Shu said, "There is nothing good or bad in this world, and there are no good or bad people. When you are in any position, you are a person of that position, and those who oppose you are Wicked people, those who agree with you are good people."

Bai Yujing didn't know why he said that suddenly.

Gu Shu smiled and said: "Don't be offended, I have been here for three years, and I have never shown this face to others in the past three years. If it weren't for this blood in you, I wouldn't be able to let you see me of."

He sighed, and said slowly: "The reason why I saved you is to be able to go out by myself, so you don't have to thank me."

When Gu Shu said this, Bai Yujing already had a feeling. He was like an old gentleman who tried every means to stuff the knowledge in his head into the stomach of the students. How much he could eat depended on the students themselves. It's up to you.

Thinking of this, Bai Yujing asked: "How can I prevent others from seeing the power of my blood?"

Gu Shu smiled, this time he smiled happily, like an old man who saw his own child, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were crowded together, "Don't worry, don't worry, when you walk out from here, you will know It's..."

Bai Yujing watched him play charades, but he had no other choice, so he asked again: "Senior, how can I save you?"

The ancient tree said: "Did you see that candlestick? It's a blood essence candlestick. With the great array of sealing veins, I can be restrained. You just need to help me take that candlestick away."

Bai Yujing suddenly said: "Then please put me down, senior."

The ancient tree put Bai Yujing on the ground, and he immediately walked to the candlestick. Only then did he clearly see that the candlestick was burning the meridian under the ancient tree, and the meridian here was healing rapidly, but every time it was about to heal , will be burned out.

Bai Yujing took the candlestick away, and the meridians of the ancient tree healed immediately, and then became thicker, and his body seemed to start to recover.

That face moved to the side of Bai Yujing below again, with an expression of endless comfort, and that face gradually became rosy. He took a deep breath and said, "Go forward."

Bai Yujing asked, "What's ahead?"

Gu Shu shook his head, "I don't know, but I can often hear screams. What kind of experience do you think made them scream like that?"

Bai Yujing's heart sank.

Gu Shu said: "If you dare not go, we can..."

Bai Yujing was already standing in front of the vine, pointed to the direction inside and asked, "Can you open it?"

Gu Shu smiled, "Of course."

After the vines were pulled away, Bai Yujing walked straight in.

It wasn't that he was dazzled by loneliness and passion, nor was he embarrassed by Gu Shu's aggressive words, he just wanted to understand one thing.

Who are these tortured people?

Bai Yujing seemed to be stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

No one was tortured, or rather, there was no one here.

The brightness here and the darkness behind are separated by vines, and the houses shrouded in light are all demons.

As far as the eye can see, there are all little tree demons. They haven't grown up yet, they are all saplings with delicate leaves, standing on the ground.

When the vines fell, several tree demons immediately covered Bai Yujing's figure with branches and leaves, but did not cover his face.

But now, he regretted it very much, regretted walking in, regretted seeing everything in front of him.

There are many demons hanging above the cave, they are all women, and they don't seem to be more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

Their lute bones are pierced by a finger-thick chain, hanging from an iron hook above.

Bai Yujing thought of someone.

Ji Ya.

They were the same as him, with no trace of blood on their pale faces, helpless and empty eyes, confused and decadent expressions, they were afraid, trembling, and their tears had dried up.

Strips of white velvet tails are swinging behind them, and the tattered clothes are their last dignity, although there are not many parts covered.

Standing below are the two elders of Xuankong Mountain, they are immortal, with long swords on their backs, pointing and pointing at the Tushan fox monsters above while laughing, like customers picking goods in a busy city.

Every fox demon was terrified, but they could only let them touch their feet with those white but dirty hands.

There seems to be no one in this room.

Bai Yujing didn't see anyone, but saw two more evil demons attacking them.

At this moment, Bai Yujing asked himself a question.

"Are they really the immortals who have sheltered Jiuhua Village for decades?"

The answer may already be on the horizon.
