Chapter 958: People Move and Live, Trees Move and Die

Song Jiang can now figure out the general process and sequence of events. Although Meng Zhe had taken back the spiritual energy from the thousand-year-old banyan tree, the true god's spiritual energy was extremely overbearing. Even though it was taken back in the end, it still helped the thousand-year-old banyan tree to open its spiritual awareness and gain consciousness. In addition, after it wanted to follow Meng Zhe but was rejected, it felt resentful, which actually helped it to greatly improve its cultivation in a short period of time... To the point that it could absorb the flesh and blood of some animals passing by nearby, and even humans to successfully transform, completely breaking free from the confinement of its true body.

Later, by chance, he met Chou'er. The thousand-year-old banyan tree saw with his limited knowledge that Chou'er had some talent. Of course, the most important thing was to use the banyan fruit to make animals sleep, so he adopted him as his son, although they were not the same kind of banyan tree.

Later, the thousand-year-old banyan tree used the characteristics of the banyan fruit to stun more and more humans from the outside, absorb their flesh and blood and transform into various kinds of people, and use this to sneak into the human world, until he found Song Jiang, the person he had always wanted to become, with the drop of palm blood he had stolen...

Song Jiang didn't want to think about whether this process was easy or complicated, but the number of lives involved was definitely not a small number... and Chou'er had always played the role of an accomplice, but Song Jiang knew that Chou'er had no distinction between good and evil in his heart, and it could even be said that his nature should be good, but he was unlucky enough to meet the evil monster, the thousand-year-old banyan tree.

Seeing that Song Jiang seemed to have lost interest in his banyan fruit, Chou'er quickly explained, "You can eat one. It won't do any harm to your body. It will just make you take a nap... This way you can replenish your energy and your body can be fully nourished."

Song Jiang laughed when he heard this and said, "You still know how to cultivate yourself? It seems that you are not completely ignorant of the outside world."

After hearing this, Chou'er smiled embarrassedly and said, "My father would occasionally bring back some books from the outside world. He taught me how to read, and I still understand some of the principles..."

Seeing that Chou'er was speaking seriously, Song Jiang asked curiously, "What kind of books did he bring you?"

Chou'er thought for a moment and said, "There are postpartum care for cows, how bad guys are made, and No Longer Human..."

The more Song Jiang listened, the more surprised he became. He quickly asked, "What are these things?"

"Books! Although I can only recognize words for some of the content, I don't know what the words mean when put together. But this is already good enough." Chou'er said with a smile.

Song Jiang shook his head helplessly, knowing that these miscellaneous books were probably found by the thousand-year-old banyan tree when it captured someone and sent him to Chou'er, but he memorized the names of every book as if they were treasures, even though he couldn't understand some of them at all...

Facing Gu Hao's questioning, the banyan tree spirit kept talking about irrelevant things and refused to get to the point. Finally, Meng Zhe lost his patience and drew out the Zhuxian Sword and nailed it to the wall. The banyan tree spirit then begged for mercy, "God, please spare my life. If I die, Song Jiang will never be found again. Although the connection between us is broken, I still have a way to bring him back to the real world."

After hearing this, Meng Zhe said with a gloomy face, "Then tell me quickly... don't waste my time."

The banyan tree spirit's eyes turned and said, "I previously adopted a little demon and kept it beside my real body. As long as I suck his flesh and blood, I can return to the illusion..."

When Meng Zhe heard that there was a way, he naturally didn't care about what would happen to the little demon whose flesh and blood were sucked. He asked in a cold voice, "But how can you make the little demon in the illusion submit while you are here?" After hearing this, the banyan tree spirit smiled and said, "Of course there is a way..." After he said that, he took out a small cloth bag from his body, which contained a few dry little fruits. He picked up one and threw it directly into his mouth and began to chew it hard. As a result, he closed his eyes and fell asleep after a few seconds.

Meng Zhe and Gu Hao were stunned by the banyan tree spirit's actions. The latter asked in disbelief, "Is he asleep? I don't know whether to say that this guy is careless or doesn't know how to live or die?!"

Meng Zhe walked over and touched the banyan tree spirit's brow with his hand and said, "His consciousness has left... It should have returned to the fantasy world he mentioned."

Gu Hao's face immediately changed when he heard this, "ran away?"

Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "No... Although this body of his is not his real body, it is the result of all the spiritual power of his real body. He would not abandon this human form that he has worked so hard to create."

  =============

Just as Song Jiang and Chou'er were chatting with each other, Chou'er's face suddenly changed, and then he frowned and covered his chest, as if he was suffering from some pain. Then he looked around in disbelief and said, "Dad is back..." After that, he turned around and ran without hesitation.

Seeing this, Song Jiang hurriedly chased after him, and followed Chou'er back to the old banyan tree that had trapped him before. He saw that the trunk that several people hugged had grown facial features. When he saw Chou'er, he angrily shouted, "Rebellious son, why did you save Song Jiang from the tree roots?"

When Chou'er saw that only his father's spirit had returned but his body had not, he knew that he had ruined his father's plan and immediately lowered his head in shame. At this time, Song Jiang also ran over. He and the thousand-year-old banyan were just enemies meeting and their eyes were full of jealousy...

Song Jiang snorted at first and said, "You are such an old man... How come? Meng Zhe saw through you so quickly and destroyed the body you stole with great difficulty?"

The reason why Song Jiang was so fearless was because he knew that since the thousand-year-old banyan tree could only return to its true body to talk to him, something must have happened outside... Trees cannot move their nests, unlike people who can go wherever they want, so he dared to confront the opponent directly.

Song Jiang's words really angered the thousand-year-old banyan tree. He looked at Song Jiang viciously, then ordered Chou'er, "Catch him! Put him back on the tree roots!!"

After hearing this, Chou'er immediately looked at the thousand-year-old banyan tree, and then at Song Jiang. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. The thousand-year-old banyan tree seemed a little surprised at Chou'er's hesitation, so he coldly scolded him, "You ungrateful thing, who turned you from a tree into a human?!"

Then I heard Chou'er say timidly, "Of course it's Dad..."

"In this case, you should always listen to your father... Bring Song Jiang back quickly!" said the thousand-year-old banyan tree anxiously.

Song Jiang is Chou'er's only friend in his life. When those who came before saw him, they either screamed in fear or kept calling him ugly. No one has ever talked to him calmly like Song Jiang. Although Chou'er is stupid and ignorant, he is really not stupid...
