Chapter 553: At Night, All the Grass and Trees on the Mountain Turned Into Demons
Qingmang Mountain.
Among the Taoist temples in the Pear Blossom Valley.
Zhai Laodao was awakened by the fragrance of flowers.
"Strange, everything should be withered in this season, how can there be such a strong fragrance of flowers?" Zhai Laodao muttered while pulling his shoes out of the room.
When he stood in the courtyard, he couldn't help being stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw that the already withered pear tree grew full of branches and leaves overnight, and all the pear blossoms were in full bloom.
The breeze blew by, and the pear blossoms of a tree swayed, and the whole mountain was like a sea of flowers, undulating and beautiful.
Zhai Laodao stared dumbfounded.
what happened?
You must know that this is the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the mountains will soon be covered by heavy snow.
Why are the pear trees all over the mountain in full bloom at this time?
The last time Xue An came, although pear blossoms were also made to bloom all over the mountain, it was stimulated by secret techniques!
Could it be Xiao Anzi is here again?
Puzzled in his heart, Zhai Laodao slowly walked into the sea of flowers and mountains.
Wandering around, Zhai Laodao felt that something was wrong.
Because these pear blossoms are simply too beautiful, so beautiful that it is shocking.
The pear blossoms in this pear blossom valley bloom every year. Zhai Laodao has seen it for more than forty years, and he has long been accustomed to it, and he doesn't feel much.
Unexpectedly, Zhai Laodao couldn't help being fascinated when he took a closer look today.
Looking at it, Zhai Laodao couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch these pear blossoms.
Then I heard a coquettish voice, "Hey, old man, get your dirty hands away!"
Zhai Laodao trembled all over, thinking he had heard it wrong.
"Who? Who's talking?"
"I'm right in front of you, don't you see? Say it again, don't touch me!" said a delicate female voice.
Zhai Laodao heard clearly this time, and took a few steps back in fright.
"Who? It doesn't matter whether it's a human or a demon, if you have the ability to speak out!" Zhai Laodao said in surprise.
"Oh, why don't I just stand in front of you? What a trouble!"
As he said, the pear tree blossomed automatically without wind, and the flowers fell like rain, condensing into a little girl.
This girl is only the size of an adult's palm, but she has distinguishable features and delicate features. She is a very beautiful little girl.
The little girl floated in mid-air, pouted her mouth and said to Zhai Laodao: "Old man, you have been neighbors for decades, and you don't recognize us?"
"You are...Li Shu?" Zhai Laodao finally realized, tremblingly.
The little girl laughed a few times, "That's right! Did you know that? What a fool!"
With her laughter, all the branches and leaves of the mountain pear trees trembled, bursts of laughter.
At the same time, many pear tree blossoms fell like rain, and little girls emerged one after another, flying to Zhai Laodao, chatting chatteringly.
"This old man was handsome when he was young, why is he so sloppy when he is old?"
"I've seen with my own eyes that he didn't take a bath for a year, do you think he can be sloppy?"
"Oh my god, it's so dirty!"
Being discussed by so many beautiful flower girls (this time it was a real flower girl), Zhai Laodao couldn't help but blush.
"Ahem, bathing should not be done too often, once a year is best!"
"That's why you are lazy!" These flower demons mercilessly lifted Zhai Laodao's cover.
Zhai Laodao hurriedly changed the subject, but in fact, he was also full of doubts at the moment.
As a Taoist priest ordered by his master to guard Jiaolong (that is, Xiaosha) for life, Zhai Laodao has no aversion to demons.
But even becoming a demon has to follow the Basic Law!
How can it be said that yesterday it was an ordinary pear tree, but after one night it became a pear flower demon?
"Ahem, you... are all pear trees?"
"That's right or wrong!" These flower demons said with a smile, and then pushed out a few shy little girls in blue grass skirts.
"These are all green grass demons!"
"Can green grass become a demon?" Zhai Laodao widened his eyes.
"Why can't Qingcao become a demon? You are purely discriminating against Xiaocao! Old-fashioned!" said a little Qingcao with a full face of resentment.
Zhai Laodao felt that he couldn't turn his head around, "Uh...I didn't mean that...but if even weeds can become spirits, wouldn't other animals have to turn into demons?"
As soon as the words fell, I heard a pleasant female voice laughing above my head: "You are right, old man!"
Zhai Laodao looked up and saw a magpie talking to him with a smile.
Then a hare popped out from the grass, combed its hair with its tongue, and said angrily to Old Taoist Zhai, "Old man, do you still remember me?"
Zhai Laodao didn't know how to respond anymore, he could only watch with a dull expression.
"Hmph, last time I was almost caught and stewed by you, but you don't remember me now, you heartless, scumbag!" After saying that, the hare gave Di Laodao a hard look, and then jumped into the grass Disappear.
Zhai Laodao felt a little dizzy, and subconsciously took a step back, trying to lean against the tree to calm down.
Then I heard a shrill voice shouting from under my feet: "Excuse me, you stepped on me!"
In a panic, Laodao Zhai hurriedly raised his foot, and a green grasshopper jumped out, muttering, "You really have no quality, don't you look at your feet when you walk?"
Then he jumped a few times and disappeared behind the tree.
"This... this... the flowers, plants and animals in the entire Qingmang Mountain must have become fine!" Zhai Laodao murmured.
"Hee hee, almost!" said the pear flower demon who appeared first.
"Then...how did you suddenly become like this?" Zhai Laodao asked.
These flower demons chattered for a while, and then said in unison: "We don't know, we just think we'll know everything after sleeping!"
This answer... is really not wrong!
Zhai Laodao didn't dare to go inside anymore, because he was afraid of seeing more weird goblins.
Turned around and went back to the Taoist temple, sat under the tree and was about to drink tea to calm down the shock.
This ancient tree, which is older than the Taoist temple, said, "Hey, are you interested in having a plate?"
Zhai Laodao, who had just taken a sip of tea, sprayed out all the tea with a puff.
"What?"
The ancient tree shook its branches and leaves a few times, "I mean, do you want to play a game of chess?"
"You... play chess with me?" Zhai Laodao was not surprised that the ancient tree became a spirit, but was a little surprised.
"That's right! To be honest, after staying here for hundreds of years, your chess skills are the worst among the several temple masters I've ever seen!" Gu Shu said disdainfully.
Old Zhai said: "...."
Is this considered to be despised by a tree?
"Come here, whoever is afraid of whom!" Zhai Laodao said with a face full of dissatisfaction.
The chessboard is laid down.
Zhai Laodao sat aside.
The ancient tree stretched out its long branches, picking up the chess pieces as flexibly as two human hands.
Zhai Laodao has gathered all his energy at this moment, thinking that no matter how he is a human race who is the leader of all spirits, how could he lose to your pile of dry wood?
One set, lose!
Well, I was a little careless.
In the second set, I still lost!
Zhai Laodao saw sweat on his face, and it seemed that he couldn't show mercy.
The third set, the fourth set....
When it was the tenth game, Zhai Laodao's clothes were already drenched in cold sweat.
But Gu Shu directly dropped the chess piece, and said in a dispirited way: "I can't play anymore, you are too good at winning, it's boring to win!"
