If I let you become a druid, would you join the Demon Sect?

Chapter 2 is open, but let the truth, goodness and beauty

Return to the house.

Gu Yan closed the door, took off his raincoat and hung it next to the brazier. Then he couldn't wait to lie down on the bed. In the warmth of the brazier, he slowly closed his eyes.

next moment.

His consciousness came to an unknown white space.

The space is not big, it is oval in shape, and the overall color is milky white, like a dreamland. Above the middle area, there is a dark brown rhizome as thick as an ordinary person's forearm floating in the air. There is also a very thin root at the bottom of the rhizome, which is stuck on a yellow light ball.

"Where is this? Why is there a broken tree root?"

Gu Yan was a little dumbfounded.

However, his curiosity was soon attracted by the yellow light.

As soon as he saw the ball of light for the first time, Gu Yan knew in his heart that it was the "spirit" of Sanzi, the breeding dog of his second apprentice. It was also the ball of light that shot from Sanzi's corpse into his forehead.

This feeling is very strange, as if I was born with it.

Driven by instinct, Gu Yan took two steps forward and couldn't help but stretch out his right hand and place it on the suspended rhizome.

The moment the fingertips touch.

hum~
An invisible ripple, centered on the rhizome, spreads out in all directions.

At the same time, a large amount of information flooded into Gu Yan's mind.

He stood there like a statue.

I don’t know how long it took.

When Gu Yan opened his eyes again, there was a strange expression on his face: Dead?

Yes.

He opened it.

This tree root is actually the remains of a world tree from an unknown civilization...
He became the new master of the world tree.

Of course, now only the roots of the tree are left. If you want to open up a new world, you need to repair it slowly first.

This is not the point.

The key point is that the remains of the tree roots still preserve the most core extraordinary inheritance origin and personality of the World Tree - the Druid's Way.

Opening up a new world sounds a bit far-fetched.

The extraordinary way is right before our eyes.

Extraordinary!
Gu Yan also played games in his previous life, so he knew a little about these things.

In the previous game, Druids were basically the guardians of nature, good companions of elves, and maintainers of world order. They loved and respected nature, resolved disputes peacefully, and advocated environmentalism and pan-love.
In short, a good person in the broad sense.

But it also has the magical ability to transform into various extraordinary animals, catalyze ancient trees for war, and promote the growth of plants. It has the magical ability to control the power of nature.

This is roughly consistent with the message that the tree roots convey to themselves: maintain the balance of nature and obtain the gifts from the origin of the world.

Just
I don’t know if it was something I experienced during the time travel.

The spirit within the tree roots had dissipated, leaving only remnants of instinct. The information it transmitted was numerous and disorganized, as if it had crashed. Gu Yan couldn't understand most of the information, and only managed to extract four relatively complete pieces of information:

1. The roots of the tree can capture and digest the souls of the dead and accumulate essence.

Second, after awakening, Gu Yan will become the new spirit of the World Tree. Only with sufficient origin can he repair the remains of the World Tree, grow into a new World Tree, and gradually open up a world of his own.

Third, if he could obtain ten spirits as big as the third son of a hunting dog, Gu Yan would be able to obtain the druid's seed of life, complete the awakening of the spirit, and embark on the path to transcendence.

The fourth message was left to him by the spirit before the tree root: New spirit, I am moved by your kindness, please continue to maintain the way of balance... What is this... Ah!
Looking at the fourth message, Gu Yan had a strange look in his eyes.

Are you kind?

Could it be that this stupid tree root was originally given to someone else, but something went wrong and it was given to me?
Leave it alone.

Give it to yourself, and now it is yours!
Gu Yan turned his attention back to the third message.

The road to transcendence!
His previous life was just a fifteen-year-old boy who knew very little about the outside world. However, by following his father to the county town to sell goods, he learned some rumors about the outside world and heard some stories of knights from storytellers in the teahouse.

Those so-called knights were probably at the level of the low-level martial arts TV drama characters in Gu Yan's previous life.

It's impossible that my druid heritage is worse than those martial arts masters, right?

"Interesting, really interesting."

When Gu Yan thought about the interesting life in the future, he couldn't help but cover his face and laughed out loud: "Life is really interesting, hehehe"

a long time.

Gu Yancai finally suppressed the somewhat morbid excitement in his heart.

The spirit of a hunting dog is one tenth of the energy of an awakened spirit.

What about that person?
I created a lot of spirits with my own hands tonight.

Previously, only the spirits of the three hunting dogs were collected, probably because of the distance.

Keep this in mind.

Gu Yan immediately left silently.

next moment.

Gu Yan in reality slowly opened his eyes.

When his consciousness returned to reality, Gu Yan immediately felt that he was different from before.

Even after leaving that unknown space, he could still clearly sense the tree roots in his brain.

Gu Yan got up from the bed, touched his chin, and thought to himself: "No, the tree root should not be in my brain, but in my consciousness, or in my sea of ​​​​knowledge."

He shook his head.

Now is not the time to research this.

Listening to the noises outside mixed with the wind and rain, Gu Yan came to the brazier and grabbed his raincoat.

He was stunned by the touch. He had been in that white space for who knows how long, yet the raincoat was still dripping with water, and it was almost the same as before he entered.

Does this mean that although it seems like I've been in the white space for a long time, in reality only a very short time has passed?
"amazing"

Gu Yan was happy.

He quickened his movements, inserted several earthen detonators and special fire starters into the belt of his coat, put on his straw raincoat, and stepped back into the wind and rain.

Not far outside the house.

In the rain, you can see many tall and strong figures, holding forks and various weapons, and holding grease and resin torches, surrounding the courtyard where two houses collapsed.

There were also many thin and slender hunting dogs around, moving through the crowd and keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings.

The wind and rain are quite strong.

The grease and resin torches made by hunters were compressed into small balls and could only illuminate an area of ​​one or two meters.

Only when Gu Yan got closer could he barely see the panicked expressions on these people's faces.

at this time.

A person standing at the outermost edge saw Gu Yan rushing over and quickly made way, shouting, "Uncle Gu's stone is coming!"

Most people in the village call him by his nickname.

Shitou is Gu Yan’s nickname.

As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed to trigger a signal.

The people who had gathered together made way as if they had seen a snake or scorpion, and in the blink of an eye, they made way for Gu Yan to enter the yard.

Gu Yan was not surprised by this.

Tuberculosis is contagious and has a very high mortality rate.

The public's reaction is just human nature.

He ignored the crowd and just walked quietly towards the ruins ahead.

An elder standing in the innermost part of the village couldn't bear it and started to persuade him, "Shi Tou, you're not feeling well. It's a cold rainy night. Go back quickly and don't catch a cold. The uncles here will take care of it."

Gu Yan is seriously ill and has exhausted his family's wealth. His father, the pillar of the family, has just passed away. A few days later, the two "elders" who had just said they would take care of him were struck by thunder, and their lives are now in danger.

This child is probably going to have no hope of living anymore.

It is true that a hemp rope only breaks at the thinnest part, and bad luck only finds the unfortunate people!

There are people with good intentions, and naturally there are also people who are unhappy with the Gu Yan family.

As an outsider, Gu Yan's father was kind to others, but he always gained something when he went into the mountains. He lived a much better life than other people in the village, so naturally there were people who were jealous of him.

As much as these people envied the Gu family's life in the past, they have been gloating over their misfortune in the past year.

One of them spoke in a gloomy voice, "Uncle, this Gu Shitou is a plague. The Gu family used to have such a good life, but because of this plague, now the family is broken up and everyone has died. Even Uncle Gu's two apprentices got too close and were struck by lightning. The whole family is in trouble. You'd better stay away."

Someone immediately echoed this, their tone slightly horrified: "Shanzi's words make sense. How could the thunder strike Uncle Gu's two apprentices instead of others?"

"Correct!"

"I agree. The thunder roared and the earth shook just now. It was so scary!"

"Uncle, please drive this tuberculosis plague out, or I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the village!"

These people had never seen gunpowder before and thought that the noise was caused by thunder and lightning from the sky.

People in the mountains have little knowledge and are superstitious.

At this time, everyone was talking at once, and even those who had originally sympathized with Gu Yan became afraid.

Yes.

How could such a coincidence happen?

I'm afraid of Gu Shitou, he's such a plague!

Amidst everyone's increasingly disgusted gazes, Gu Yan came alone to the collapsed house of his father's second apprentice.

He frowned slightly.

It wasn't that the villagers were increasingly repelled by his voice, but rather that he sensed five balls of light beneath the mound, but only absorbed one.
"Why can't I absorb the other four?"

Gu Yan couldn't help but ask the tree roots in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Out of five people's spirits, I can only absorb one.

Isn't this a hooligan act?

Unexpectedly, the remaining instinct of the tree roots actually gave him a very vague response: "Malicious killing violates the balance."

Gu Yan understood.

The second apprentice has a family of five, and only the second apprentice has ill will towards him, so killing him is in line with the principle of balance. As for the other four, they are innocent, so the tree root disagrees.

As for the three hounds
Back then, when my father was the second disciple, he threatened to let the third son bite him...

It turns out that this broken tree root attracts spirits and also has moral standards.

I saw four balls of light, which I could see but could not eat.

Gu Yan became anxious.

Nima.

Do you know what a community with a shared future is?

The second apprentice's family of five essentially lived a good life by relying on their father for food, but when retribution came, the other four became innocent, right?

We can share happiness, but cannot we share difficulties?
How can there be such a truth in the world!

The key is to follow the broken logic of this tree root and pay attention to truth, goodness and beauty..
Since you are so kind, why are you following a scumbag like me?
Let me also be true, good and beautiful?

Isn’t this forcing a good woman into prostitution?!
At this moment, Gu Yan deeply felt that his purity as a villain had been polluted and oppressed.
