Gu Jiu let out a long sigh only after he left Taohua An several miles away, and found that his back was already wet with sweat.
He couldn't see through it; the tree was far scarier than he had imagined.
He really doesn't know the depth of something that even Buddha swallowed.
Gu Jiu finally began to understand why the sects in the north gave up this area.
Because it makes no sense.
There are always some ancient artifacts in this world that have existed longer than human imagination, even longer than human history.
After seeing part of the tree's structure, Gu Jiu knew that it was this kind of thing.
"The waters of primordial times are deep, and humans are ignorant. I should not have explored too far, or delved too deeply."
At this time, Gu Jiu couldn't help but recall the words of Saint Xi Yu in the story.
It is not easy to uproot such a huge creature that has survived for so long.
He was not sure if he could completely destroy the other party. Just looking at those densely packed human-shaped fruits he saw, how long would he have to keep attacking?
If we pull them into the group, will they run out of mana?
At this moment, Gu Jiu thought of the withered mulberry tree in Liu's mansion and the strange tree outside Niujia Village that was full of embroidered shoes. Suddenly, a somewhat scary idea flashed through his mind.
That is, is there only one big tree within a radius of hundreds of miles?
The roots of the giant tree in the temple extend for who knows how many miles. Are all the big and old trees within hundreds of miles radius grown from its roots?
With such a deeply rooted ancient artifact guarding the area, why would the northern sects fight for it?
Because perhaps this place has been the territory of this tree since the beginning of mankind, or even before.
If the other party only wants this area, then compromises are a natural thing to do.
This tree needs human flesh and blood, and human souls, so it will naturally not exhaust all the resources.
In its eyes, humans are probably just like pigs and sheep.
Gu Jiu was so arrogant just now, but the tree didn't even dare to move its hands. One reason was that when Gu Jiu left, starlight flashed on his body, revealing his strength as a saint; the other reason was that Gu Jiu's behavior was a little crazy, making the other party think he was a lunatic.
Who would dare to mess with a madman who possesses the power of a saint?
Even if it is an ancient artifact, even if it has the ability to fight against this mad saint on its own territory, but at what price?
After Gu Jiu left, several tree roots rolled up piles of strange-looking things and rubbed them into the skins of these nuns.
Soon, these nuns came back to life.
They knelt in front of the Guanyin head with respectful expressions.
Soon, Guanyin's head opened its mouth, and a naked middle-aged woman slid down from it.
Her body was covered with green and yellow mucus, as if the Guanyin statue was actually a living thing and she had walked around in its internal organs.
"Is there anything you want to say?" the woman said.
"Why didn't the eldest sister take action?" asked one of the nuns who looked the youngest.
"He can't kill me, and I can't stop him. If we have to fight, the price we pay will be huge. Besides, who would be willing to fight a mad dog?"
"Is that young man really that powerful?"
"What a rubbish boy! Who knows if he's some old ghost who's reincarnated and has a problem with his brain."
"But why did the other party choose a man's body?"
"That's why they say there's something wrong with his head."
"Sister, what level is he?"
"Saint level."
"Saint? Besides Liu Wan from Baxueliu Manor, there's actually another human who has attained sainthood in the North?"
"He is even more difficult for me to understand than Liu Wan."
"Then sister, what should we do?"
"What to do? Of course, give him the area in Linshui Town. What else can you do if a mad dog competes with you for food?"
"..."
"..."
"Don't create unnecessary trouble at this time. He thought I was a wild toad and saw the Buddha, but he didn't see our real secret." As she spoke, the woman covered in mucus looked up at the terrifying giant tree, her pupils as deep as the sea.
"But he forbids us to eat humans," said the youngest nun.
The woman let out a long breath and said, "Monks are supposed to be vegetarians. Even if you want to eat meat, can't you ask mortals to send some cattle or sheep?"
"The food for the wild toad." The nun was still unconvinced.
"You're the only one who talks too much. Tomorrow you'll be the one digging up bodies from the mass grave! We need fresh ones!"
"what?"
……
At this time, the Buddha statue deep in the tree roots opened its eyes, but its pupils were filled with painful clarity.
(PS: Because of the supernatural elements in this book, the initial design will not be too high-level martial arts, otherwise it will destroy the style of painting. The combat power should be similar to that of Fenghuo's "Snow".
The protagonist is the best in the world, but he's also human, just like the old swordsman Li who kills 2,600 enemies with a single strike, but he gets tired and pays a price. (The protagonist's understanding of the world and himself is currently limited, so he may occasionally misunderstand his own combat power. In "Snow," I only saw the old swordsman leave, and I don't know if his combat power will explode in the future of the book. Anyway, this is my current design.)
This chapter was rewritten several times due to concerns about combat power.
I think this way, the world will be more interesting to explore. Feel free to give me your suggestions, I'll consider them, but the decision on how to write it is still mine, hehe.)
Chapter 1: Big belly
It was already evening when Gu Jiu returned home.
Because he got lost on his way home.
He had been so focused on torturing the nun covered in eyes that he had no idea how many woods he had walked through and how many cornfields he had crawled through that he had lost track of the route.
Gu Jiu asked as he walked along the way and finally found the way home.
Gu Jiu wondered if he had a problem with directions.
I didn’t take much of a detour when going home for the New Year this time. It seems like Xiaohui is the most powerful one?
There was no Xiao Hui to lie down with, and he had exhausted a lot today, so after returning home, Gu Jiu just wanted to lie down.
Gu Jiuyi had been out for almost a day, and the whole family was worried.
Especially the group of relatives and friends headed by Old Man Gu, their courage was in their throats.
Seeing that Gu Jiu was safe and sound, just a little tired, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Xing, who used to hate Gu Jiu the most, actually helped Gu Jiu serve tea and water, and even took the initiative to massage his shoulders.
Gu Jiu discovered that his treatment had really changed.
Although Gu Xing's skills and appearance are far inferior to Senior Sister Xiaoqi's, Gu Jiu still thinks she is good.
It is the elder brother's duty to be good to his younger brother. This enjoyment came a little late, but it finally came.
Naturally, everyone in the Gu family now wants to know what happened to the paper man. After all, although the housekeeper Liu Fang has woken up, he is still lying weakly on the bed, and his condition looks a little serious.
This is definitely not a simple child's prank, the method is extremely vicious.
Gu Jiu said casually, "A guy was playing tricks for some unknown reason. He was looking for trouble during the New Year, and I got rid of him."
At this moment, there was a hint of murderous intent between Gu Jiu's eyebrows, which moved the whole family.
Everyone thought that this kind of murderous aura was probably only possessed by the sect's practitioners and soldiers killing on the battlefield, and even ordinary warriors could not do it.
As a result, everyone in the Gu family began to doubt the truthfulness of what Gu Ningshuang said.
The young master who only knew how to sleep a year ago has now become the pillar of the family and seems to have killed someone. Who dares to say that the academy is worthless?
At this time, a servant muttered: "Should we report this to the authorities?"
Gu Jiu waved his hand and said, "No need. The government can't deal with those guys. They are all desperate criminals. After I deal with this matter, there should be no follow-up. Everyone, just live your life well and pretend nothing happened."
Gu Jiu did not call Lingyu Nun a ghost because he was worried that it would cause panic. After all, the example of the Liu family in the town was still there.
But after he said this, everyone couldn't help but be even more afraid of this young master.
Because from what Gu Jiu just said, they heard the meaning of cutting the grass at its roots.
The reason why the young master has been out for so long is because he has destroyed other people's followers?
If Gu Jiu knew what they were thinking, he would definitely sigh: "Would I tell you that I've been gone for so long, and most of the time I spent looking for the way home?"
After another ten days at home, Gu Jiu felt that it was time for him to leave.
Although his home is comfortable and warm, he is now the third in command of the academy, and the winter vacation cannot be too long.
Hearing that Gu Jiu was leaving, everyone in the Gu family was reluctant to let him go.
Ever since the paper man incident, even the somewhat conservative Gu Xinyue has placed Gu Jiu on the same level as Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Ningshuang.
All three of them are practitioners. From the looks of it, her son has not wasted this year and has learned some skills.
The servants of the Gu family felt that Young Master Gu Jiu was more reliable than the two young ladies.
After all, Gu Jiu really helped his family solve the problem. Although the process was unclear, the problem was really solved.
This phenomenon is very normal. Most people don't care about the so-called depth of skills. You say you are a master, but how can you prove yourself without showing your skills?
The day before Gu Jiu set out, he stood in front of the magic sword at home for about a cup of tea.
This time, he planted more sword intent in it.
The range of this small sword formation at home expanded by more than two times, and even Gu Jiu's neighbors were protected.
A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, which is well illustrated here.
Without the disturbance from those things in Taohua An, this sword formation is more than enough to protect the family.
As for Taohua An, Gu Jiu didn't think they would dare to cause trouble. After all, the other party was cowardly today.
He acted very strong, but the other party did not take any action, proving that they were quite afraid of him.
Gu Jiu knew that Taohua An also had a disadvantage, which was that they relied on that tree.
The tree is rooted in the ground and is difficult to move, so it is destined to be imprisoned in the ground.
As long as he wanted, even if he couldn't destroy the tree, he could make sure that there were no "people" at the Taohua An, or even if there were "people", they would not dare to go out.
The eldest sister of Taohua An also thought so at that time. To offend this madman for the sake of some mortals is either stupid or bad.
She couldn't help but want to pull out Ling Yu Nu Ni and whip her corpse.
Now there are no living people to eat in the nunnery, it’s all this idiot’s fault!
……
When Gu Jiu was about to leave, Old Man Gu was naturally reluctant to let him go.
Gu Jiu patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Dad, it's not like I won't come back. When I, Xiao Jiu, become powerful, I'll buy houses everywhere, and the family can live here, or even live next to me. Also, if things are not peaceful, tell the family members to go out less. I've seen the sword that my eldest sister brought back, it's very useful, and it's always good to stay at home."
After hearing this, Father Gu couldn't help but wiped his tears and sighed, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to my son. My little Jiu has really made it."
Gu Xing and Gu Lei were also reluctant to see their brother who was about to leave.
They had been on more than ten blind dates last year, so maybe they would leave home after finding someone this year.
If she marries to a place far away, she might not be able to return home for several years like her eldest brother, and it would be difficult for her younger brother to see her again.
Thinking of this, the two couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Then, the two of them recalled their experience of going on more than ten blind dates but never finding the right person, and they couldn't help feeling even more sad.
Gu Xinyue, who always appears to be stern, found this time that she really couldn't bear to part with her son.
You have to know that in the past, she only gave this clarity to Gu Ningshuang and Gu Xiaoxiao.
On the day Gu Jiu left, Xiao Hui was carrying several large cloth bags of local specialties. Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Ningshuang looked down on the things at home, but Gu Jiu looked up to them.
Qingliu Academy lacks everything except being down-to-earth.
On this day, Gu Jiu left home again, already in high spirits.
