Chapter 10 The old Taoist priest leaves

In particular, it is extremely difficult to have healthy offspring with humans. Although there are many great demons who can maintain their human form and have offspring with humans, almost all of their offspring are unable to control their body defects due to their young age after birth. Monster energy, nine out of ten will show abnormal shapes when they are born. For example, if the father or mother is a tiger spirit, the offspring will definitely have animal hair all over the body, or tiger ears, tiger eyes, and tiger tails. Yes, and because they are a mixed race of demons and humans, they are inherently excluded by the rules of this world. In all likelihood, they will not live to adulthood and will die early due to various diseases.

For the demon bloodline passed down from generation to generation like Gu Shiyi and her own mother, it can only be said that her ancestor must have been a very extraordinary demon king. As far as the old Taoist priest knows, there are only a few species in the prehistoric times that can do this. The remaining alien species, that's why he said this.

The old Taoist priest thought for a moment and said,
"I don't understand, but I also heard a lot of secrets about your mother when I was in the Gu family. She said that she liked strong men when she was in her parents' family, and she was not interested in the thin and elegant young men like your father. No matter how you look at it, she was indeed a well-behaved lady when she was in the boudoir, but her temperament has changed drastically since she got married. I guess her bloodline has awakened, but she is not as lucky as you. She didn't understand until she got married. He didn’t wake up until the matter between men and women, so naturally he despises your father even more, so that’s why he ran away with someone. When you return to your hometown, you can go to your grandfather’s house to inquire about it!”

"Oh……"

Gu Shiyi was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and nodded blankly. After a long while, he said,

"So...she...she didn't actually abandon me on purpose?"

The old Taoist priest knew that although his apprentice looked open-minded and cheerful on the outside, he had always been very concerned about his mother leaving her, so he nodded and said,
"I guess she can't help herself..."

Her mother is a mortal, and she has the blood of the ancient demon clan. If she becomes sexually promiscuous and doesn't care about anything when she sees a man, how can she still remember her daughter!

Gu Shiyi asked again,

"My maternal grandfather's family was also a family of cultivators. Although it later declined, didn't anyone notice when my mother was at home?"

The old Taoist priest said,

"This kind of bloodline thing is the most uncertain. The bloodline of your ancestors has been very thin by your generation, but it is still a prehistoric alien species. We cannot know the magic. Maybe it has been lurking in the bloodline for several generations or ten. After several generations, it suddenly revived in the body of a certain descendant..."

After a pause, he looked at his apprentice with a sympathetic face.

"But now it seems that you have not inherited the other abilities of the alien species. Instead, you will... ahem... inherit its lustful nature..."

A prehistoric alien species!Most of them have innate abilities, such as being naturally close to the five elements of water and fire, or having strong bodies, rough skin, and thick flesh. However, he has raised Gu Shiyi for more than 20 years. In addition to his excellent ability to understand Taoism, he is really good at other things. I don't see any difference between her and ordinary mortal women. It seems that she has no inheritance!

"what……"

Gu Shiyi was speechless and thought to himself,
"No wonder, I like abdominal muscles, vest lines and big muscles. It turns out... this is inherited from my ancestors!"

Gu Shiyi was shocked by the fact that he had the ancient bloodline, but he didn't cry anymore. He drank wine for half the night with the old Taoist priest, and saw him lying on the table after drinking too much. Then he went up to help him, and the old Taoist priest said As soon as he took the bony shoulder, Gu Shiyi's eye circles turned red again.
"Master..."

In the past, the old Taoist priests were always old, but their muscles and bones were as strong as those of young people. The skills they practiced since they were children are still there. Although the muscles on their arms are not as hard as iron, they are well-defined. They have only been here for a day. In a short time, the tough muscles in the old Taoist priest's body seemed to have been taken away, and his hands were filled with bones, which was painful.

She helped the old Taoist priest to sleep on the bunk. Gu Shiyi stood by with a worried look on his face. She didn't dare to go to sleep on her own bed, fearing that the old Taoist priest would be gone when she woke up, so she sat there all night and sat there. The old Taoist priest stayed with her until dawn. When the first bird chirped in the forest, the old Taoist priest seemed to be awakened. He let out a long sigh and opened his eyes.

"eleven……"

Gu Shiyi heard it, opened his eyes and looked quickly.

"Master!"

At this time, the old Taoist priest already looked like he was about to die. His pale hair was scattered on the pillow, and the top of his head was bald. Open a crack,

"eleven……"

The old Taoist priest trembled and grabbed Gu Shiyi's hand.

"Master..."

When Gu Shiyi saw this, he didn't understand anything. His eyes were blurred by tears. The old Taoist priest said hoarsely,

"Ten...one, don't cry yet...if you want to cry, wait...wait until I am buried, then you can cry..."

After saying that, he took another long breath and forced the last breath of Qi in his body.

"Listen carefully, you have to do what I told you before. You must leave here three days after my death... You can bury me in this mountain and let this body turn into a handful of mud. It can support a living being!"

Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest turned his eyes upward and looked at the tile roof of the temple.
"Ugh……"

After exhaling a long breath, the old Taoist priest loosened his hand and fell softly to the bed.

Gu Shiyi was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

"Master!"

Gu Shiyi screamed sadly, threw himself on the old Taoist priest and cried loudly.

"Master! Master! Don't die. What if you die and leave me alone in the world..."

She and the old Taoist priest traveled around for 25 years, suffered hardships together, and enjoyed delicious food together. No outsider could know the hard work and happiness involved. The relationship between master and apprentice was deeper than ordinary masters and apprentices, especially in her heart. Knowing that the old Taoist priest would leave so quickly had a lot to do with me, I felt pain, regret and self-blame in my heart. I cried until the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dim, and I cried all day and all night!
Li Yaner, who was beside her, was also saddened by her. The two of them just guarded the old Taoist priest in the temple, not even taking a sip of water or rice. In the end, Li Yaner saw that Gu Shiyi was about to collapse if things continued like this, so he advised her,

"Eleven, it's been a day and a night. Master, it's time for him to be buried. You...you'd better let him be buried in peace!"

Didn't the master tell them before that they must leave here three days after his death? It's been a day and a night, and if they delay for another three days, they will be gone!

Gu Shiyi listened to the advice and reluctantly put away his grief. He got up and went outside to find a geomantic treasure for the old Taoist priest. After searching for a long time, he found it on the hills five miles behind the temple. This place was backed by a mountain and faced to the southwest. It is an old forest that few people set foot in. The old Taoist priest is buried here. When you have nothing to do, you can take a look at the scenery below the mountain and listen to the sound of the mountain wind and the forest.

Gu Shiyi went to discuss with the lonely pine tree spirit standing on the top of the mountain.
"My master is dead and I want to bury him here. Can you guard him for me?"

The pine spirit thought for a moment and replied,
"not good!"

Gu Shiyi was a little annoyed when he heard this.

"Why... he was very kind to you during his lifetime. If it weren't for his enlightenment, how could you have survived the thunderstorm two years ago and become a spirit? You are ungrateful!"

The pine spirit thought for a while and replied,

"When you said that, I remembered it, and it seems that there really was such a thing..."

Its memory of what happened before it opened its spiritual intelligence was already a little blurry. Gu Shiyi said that it did remember some things.
"Well, to prevent you from ruining my reputation by talking nonsense, let your master be buried here..."

Gu Shishi was very happy. The pine tree spirit did not wait for her to speak and continued,
"But...if this geomantic treasure of mine is used to bury people, it is the only [-]th Supreme Solitary Cave in a hundred miles. The hole is right under the root of my tree. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so He can't live without death. If you want to bury him here, then you have to move me away..." Gu Shiyi was stunned.
"Anything like that?"

Just listen to it say again,
"I've stayed in this mountain for too long, and I'm tired of it. Please take me outside to see what the world is like... Anyway, now that your master is dead, I think... you won't stay in this mountain anymore. ...Why don't you take me out...this way...I'll make room for your master, and I can go out too, and everyone will be happy if we have one or two!"

"This……"

Gu Shiyi hesitated and said nothing. The pine tree spirit became a little anxious and continued,
"If you don't take me away, even cutting me will be useless. My root system is ten feet deep. If you dare to bury him here, I will dig him out of the ground and let him die." An Ning, from now on, corpses will be exposed in the wilderness, and they will all be homeless souls when they die!"

So cruel!
Gu Shiyi remembered that this pine tree spirit said that he had lived for a thousand years, but he was only really wise in the past two years. He was still a baby. This kind of young boy was the most unreasonable and would do anything if he was in a hurry!

Besides, it’s a treasure land of Feng Shui!

This place can make pine trees grow into spirits. If the old Taoist priest is buried here, he will definitely live comfortably. He didn't enjoy much happiness in his life, so how can he be allowed to enjoy happiness after death!
After thinking about it, I felt a little confused.

"You are so big, how can I carry you?"

You can't let her carry a piece of wood out of the mountain, right?

The pine tree spirit was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly responded,

"This is easy to do. You find something to cut my body open, and I will come out on my own... After I come out, you put your master in front of me... It saves the coffin..."

This is the tree coffin!

This actually saves money and is environmentally friendly. The coffin is made of pine trees that have matured for thousands of years. Not even secular emperors are treated like this!

Gu Shiyi went back and found an ax and split open the big pine tree that neither of them could hold. Sure enough, a green light came out from it and circled around Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi filled it with a broken earthen jar. Some mud, the green light penetrated into the jar and turned into a small sapling. The pine tree spirit twisted his body and said,

"It's a bit crowded to stay in such a small place. I won't embarrass you. I know there are no good things in this mountain. When we get down from the mountain, you can find a bigger place for me..."

Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes and said angrily,

"understood!"

So Gu Shiyi spent another day digging out a space in the pine tree that was just big enough to fit in. He also went to the foot of the mountain to buy a shroud, put it on for the old Taoist priest with his own hands, and then sealed the old Taoist priest into a tree coffin. In the meantime, Gu Shiyi was crying while nailing the outside with nails, sealing his master in the dark tree forever.

After doing this, Gu Shiyi returned to the temple and felt as if his whole body had been drained. He entered the hall and sat on his bed. He stared blankly at the empty bed in the corner. After a long while, his face looked exhausted. He fell down and fell asleep.

As soon as she fell asleep, only the clay figure on the table and the green sapling in the broken earthen pot were left, with big eyes and small eyes staring at each other.
"Hey, I've seen you before. Gu Shiyi brought you here before..."

The little sapling thought for a while and said,
"I heard she called you Yan'er?"

The clay figurine nodded and responded,
"My name is Li Yan'er, what...what do you call me?"

Gu Shiyi took Li Yan'er to the top of the mountain. The pine tree spirit put on airs and disdained to deal with an outsider like her. Gu Shiyi called for a long time, but it didn't answer, and Li Yan'er didn't even talk to it. It really didn't matter now. I know how to call this person. Let’s talk about age. This person has lived for thousands of years. But as Eleven said, when plants, animals and insects become spirits, their age is calculated based on the day they become wise. So if you calculate it this way, it only has two years. About years old.

As expected, the little sapling was stunned and responded,
"I don't have a name..."

Then he said in a fierce tone,

"It doesn't matter whether I have a name or not. You just need to know that apart from Gu Shiyi, I will be the biggest from now on!"

"Uh……"

Li Yaner was in a daze.
"Yes! I'm older than you. You must obey me from now on. You are not allowed to compete with me for territory, sunshine, or water. Do you hear me?"

The dryads naturally fought over territory.

The saplings in the broken earthen pots twisted wildly, and the leaves above their heads shook in the wind, as if the clay figurine would jump out and slap it if it didn't agree. Li Yan'er was a little amused, and thought to herself,

"It's exactly what Eleven said..."

She told her on the [-]th that these trees are actually the same as people. They grow on the same land and have to compete for water, land and sunshine. The old pine tree can withstand the wind and sun on the top of the mountain. The man who gained the aura of heaven and earth and turned into an elf is not the amiable pine tree grandpa shown on TV!

"You can see that there is not even a blade of grass growing on that mountain, and you know it is not a good thing!"

These were Gu Shiyi’s exact words. Li Yaner realized that she was a human being, so of course she would not care about a tree, so she nodded and said,

"Okay, I won't argue with you..."

Anyway, she doesn't need the sunshine, water, etc.!
Seeing that she was so knowledgeable, the pine tree spirit was immediately satisfied. After thinking about it, he asked her,

"Who took your name?"

Li Yaner responded,
"Picked by my parents..."

The pine tree spirit was a little troubled.

"I have no parents...who will name me?"

It couldn't even explain where it came from. Li Yan'er thought for a while and said,
"You are a tree spirit, nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You are born and raised by the earth. You can choose your own name!"

The pine tree spirit was overjoyed, and after thinking for a long time, he asked Li Yaner,

"What do you think...what if I call you King?"

Li Yaner was stunned for a moment.

"This... name..."

If a tiger or a lion in the mountains turns into a spirit, it would be quite appropriate to call him a king. If a pine tree is called a king, isn't it... a bit weird?

"Why...do you think it's bad, or do you think I'm not worthy of being the king?"
