Ten states

This is a big tree, very big, but the trunk needs nearly twenty people to hug it. Even Xiaoxia has never seen such a big tree in the mountains of Yunzhou. It can be imagined that when its branches and leaves are still When I was there, it looked like it was covering the sky and covering the sun, full of vitality, as if it could become a scene of the world by itself.

The reason why I need to want it is because this tree now only has a section of stump as tall as a man, which seems to have been broken from there by an unknown force, and the crown above it has completely disappeared.There are still many scorched spots on the uneven fracture, which seems to have been struck by lightning, but I don't know how huge the thunder will be to break such a huge tree in the middle.

This was still in the woods that seemed to never end, but this was the first time Xiao Xia saw this huge tree stump.It stands to reason that they walked inside for two full days before, and tried to change different directions, but they had never seen such a conspicuous thing.Xiao Xia can see it now because he followed the girl in white to come here.

The girl spread her arms around the tree stump.The tree stump is too big, and the place she can hug is only a small piece, but her expression is like a child who has plunged into the arms of an adult, with her eyes closed, smiling, rubbing her neck and cheeks on the tree trunk Go, and said softly: "Mr. Kuroki, thank you. I'm leaving now, and I'll come back to accompany you later."

The girl turned her face on the tree trunk again, took a deep breath, as if she wanted to keep this smell in her heart forever, and then turned around and walked to Xiao Xia's side.

"This is..." Xiao Xia looked at the huge tree stump, but hadn't recovered from the surprise.

"This is Mr. Kuroki." The girl turned her head to look at the giant tree stump, and said to Xiao Xia as if introducing an elder of her own family.

"...The one who fought against Chixia monk Baiyun Yandao 20 years ago...?" Xiao Xia probably guessed the origin of this huge tree stump.

"I don't know." The girl shook her head, which surprised Xiao Xia. "I don't know if it's 20 years. Anyway, a long time ago, one day suddenly a very big monk with golden light came, and an old Taoist priest flying in the sky. For some reason, he fought with Mr. Heimu. After fighting for a long time, we were very scared, but Mr. Kuroki couldn't beat him, so they struck him like this with lightning."

"...Then he's dead?"

"No, isn't he still there?"

After the girl said this, Xiao Xia realized that the tree stump was really strange.If it had been cut like this 20 years ago, it would have died and rotted long ago, but this huge stump is still a stump, and there is no sign of dying at all, but no new branches have grown on it.

"Although Mr. Kuroki is not dead, he seems to have been seriously injured and can't move. It seems that he can't talk to us anymore. But I know that he is really still there. I have been staying in his body all these years. Inside, he raised me up like this. You couldn’t get out of the woods before because he didn’t want you to go out.”

"So it's because of it?" Xiao Xia was startled.

"Although Mr. Kuroki can't speak, he can still know something vaguely. He can feel that I have been caught. He has no way to save me, so he can only keep you from going out. Now I know that I am fine. , he won't stop other people anymore, but he won't let others come here."

The primordial spirit and torso were destroyed, but there was still a trace of consciousness left in the woods. This black wood tree demon might not be far from the legendary realm of the immortal sky demon.Xiao Xia stuck out her tongue.However, although the spirit of the tree has a long and strong life, it is extremely difficult to gather the mind. This tree stump may only be a tree stump in the future.

"When the old monk rescued me from those people, I was almost dead. I was in a daze. The old monk used his magic to wrap me up and sent me into Mr. Heimu's body to hide. But I seem to be I saw the old monk buried me with my parents. After that, I have been in Mr. Kuroki's body. I can feel that Mr. Kuroki gave me all the food and drink. I also seem to be slowly Knowing a lot of things that I never knew before, my mind became clearer and my body became different from before, but I didn’t feel unaccustomed at all. Until more than ten days ago, I felt like I had a big sleep I woke up, and Mr. Kuroki sent me out."

"You must really hate those who killed your parents and brothers." Xiao Xia smiled wryly.The first person to be skinned to death in Luoshui City was more than ten days ago.

"I remember I hated it, hated it very much. I saw clearly how they were skinned alive in the hands of those few people, and then struggled for a long time in the sun before they died. I remember them They were looking at me all the time, I remember their eyes. And those people were watching them and laughing."

The girl frowned, looked up at the sky sideways, her eyes became a little misty, but there was no trace of hatred or hostility, she was still as clear as a baby, and her voice was still as soft as the wind: "But now I don't feel I hate it, even if I remember it clearly in retrospect, I am no longer sad. Even if I catch those people one by one and peel off their skins, so that they are like their parents, I don’t seem to feel happy, I just feel It should be done like that... Could it be because of sleeping too long?"

Xiao Xia thought for a while and said: "...My master said that sleeping is the best thing in the world, because every time you wake up, it is a new day."

"Well, that's really good." The girl smiled sweetly, and she was so beautiful. "Your master must also be a good man."

If you knew him, you wouldn't say that...Xiao Xia smiled bitterly and asked, "Then what are you going to do in the future?"

"Hmm... I don't know." The girl nodded her chin, thinking about it. "That old monk seems to have said a lot to me, but I can't remember them all. The only thing I can remember seems to be to let me do whatever I want. Now those people are all dead, and I just I want to go out and have a look, to have fun. But I don’t know the way, and I don’t know where it’s fun... You look very fun, so I’ll follow you for the time being.”

"... Whatever you want..." Xiao Xia continued to smile bitterly.Inexplicably drawn into this turmoil, and now inexplicably, there is such a girl who looks like a demon and a human being by her side.Fortunately, his troubles are big enough anyway, and he doesn't care how big it is, at least it will be more interesting this way.

Luoshui City must not go, and according to the power and strength of the Luoshui Gang, it might be better to leave Qingzhou as soon as possible.Xiaoxia decided to go to Dongling County in the south first to find a mount or a carriage to take the official road. After all, he couldn't get up fast in the mountains and forests, and he didn't want to meet any monsters or bandits again. Come trouble.

"By the way, if you want to walk with me, you'd better change your outfit, change your clothes or something." Xiao Xia suddenly remembered.

"Why? Doesn't this dress look good?" The girl spread her hands.

"It's because it looks so good, so it's better to change it." Xiao Xia smiled bitterly.The girl's whole body was only in this white dress, with long black hair like silk on the shawl, and she didn't even have shoes or socks. She just walked on the ground barefoot like this. She was really pretty, not humanlike.

Xiao Xia was taken aback suddenly.He just now discovered a very strange problem.That is, the girl's white clothes are still so white and so clean.She had been thrown on the ground all the time before, and earlier, she also wore this white dress and killed dozens of people from the Luoshui Gang. Even Xiao Xia's body is now covered with dried brown blood.If you remember correctly, she fell into a pool of blood after being sealed by the Qiantian Demon Locking Talisman. The white clothes were also stained with a lot of blood, but the girl's current white clothes were as clean as if they had just been taken off a spinning wheel.

This weirdness is actually obvious, and other people may have noticed it before, but Xiao Xia, Mie Nu, and Hu Qian are all thinking about other more important and more terrible things. It's not worth spending more time and energy to think about it.Li Daxia and Yunzhou Dahan may not be able to think at all.

But Xiaoxia is free now, and knows the girl's origin, so she feels even more strange.

"Where did your white clothes... come from?"

The girl shook her head: "I don't know. Mr. Kuroki put it on me when he sent me out. Maybe Mr. Kuroki gave it to me. It's just that he can't speak, so I don't know."

"...can you show me?"

"Okay."

The girl nodded, took off her white dress and handed it to Xiao Xia.

"Remember. Never take off your clothes in front of others in the future." Xiao Xia coughed dryly.Although he really wanted to keep his eyes straight, he still couldn't help but look at the girl's eyes that were as crystal clear as jade, with undulating eyes. The sun shining on that body made Xiao Xia feel a little dazzling.He found himself blushing a little.He couldn't quite remember the last time he blushed.

"I know. But isn't that what you want to see? You look very interesting." The girl smiled, opened her eyes wide and leaned over to look at Xiao Xia carefully.

Xiao Xia coughed dryly again, closed his eyes and collected himself, and focused his eyes and attention on the white clothes in his hands. He immediately discovered that this seemingly ordinary white clothes were actually woven with snow spider silk.

Snow spider silk is very rare, and the spy who had a good relationship with Xiaoxia in Yongzhou Liuzi camp used to have one, but he never took it out easily, and even lost money from gambling, he would rather run around the barracks three times with bare buttocks I also don't want to take it out as collateral.Xiao Xia had seen with his own eyes that he used this spider silk to strangle three Sidi people to death, and he also used this spider silk to hang down from a hundred-foot-high rock wall with his own eyes, so now he knows it at a glance.

Clothes woven with snow spider silk are definitely not just clothes. Xiao Xia quickly discerned three talisman formations in the texture of the clothes, 'fire-dispelling curse', 'dust-dispelling curse', and 'star-gathering array', This is already an extremely rare magic weapon.But the 'Star Gathering Formation' and 'Fire Repelling Curse' are fine, and the 'Dust Repelling Curse', which is useless except to keep it clean, is actually weaving it in with great effort and solemnity. The person who built this magic weapon really only wears it as clothes.

If the spy hadn't been swallowed by an earth demon insect together with his snow spider silk, Xiao Xia would definitely find a way to find him and show him this dress, Xiao Xia guessed that the expression on his face would be very interesting .

There are no snow spiders in Qingzhou, and the thousand-year-old tree demon certainly doesn't know how to make clothes. This clothes are worn by women, and they certainly won't be left by the old monk.Xiao Xia frowned and scratched her head, then looked carefully, and finally found a faint moon-shaped dark flower on the nape of the white robe, which was the word 'moon' in the cloud patterns of the Daoist sect.

"Yue?" The girl who came over also saw it.

Xiao Xia is not surprised that she can recognize this cloud pattern.There is a method of empowerment in the teaching of Buddhism. The Vajra relics of the old monk Chixia not only gather a body of cultivation, but also the knowledge and wisdom of Buddhism accumulated over the years. It just depends on how much this half-monster, half-human girl can understand and is willing to accept it. Just how much.

The individual cloud pattern is usually only used for writing, and this hidden flower is just a pattern. After thinking about it, Xiao Xia thought of this possibility: "...is it a name...?"

"Name? Well, if you want to go out with people, you really need a name." The girl thought for a while and clapped her hands together. "Okay, then I'll be called that. It's called Moon."

"Moon? Eh..." Xiao Xia scratched her head. "It's better to call it Mingyue."

"Mingyue...Okay, let's call it Mingyue." The girl nodded happily, and suddenly asked Xiaoxia again. "Then what's your name?"

"Me? My surname is Xia." Xiao Xia answered honestly.

"What about the name?"

"The name... I haven't decided yet. The master said that the name is my own, so I asked me to choose it myself, but I still haven't figured out what name to choose."

"Then what do people call you?" the girl asked.

The boy surnamed Xia, the stinky boy surnamed Xia, this is called by heroes like Li Daxia... Xia benefactor, this is called by monks...Xia Xianchang, these are those villagers, and they must be young It's only called by the villagers who have received money or not... Brother Xia, it's called by those quacks, it's a more common name...

"People call me Daoist Xia."

"Well, then let's go, Daoist Xia."

"Okay. Cough, but you put on your clothes first, Miss Mingyue."
