Demon King's Wife

Chapter 197 A Strange Tree
Mu Ruoxin still wanted to inquire about He Xi, so she chose to settle in Luoye Village, the closest place to Huoyan Palace. The fire phoenix had already landed outside the town, and everyone walked in to avoid attracting attention.

The explosion of the fire eye was so powerful that even Luoye Town, which was hundreds of miles away, was affected to some extent. The town was filled with smoke and dust, like a deserted town, with sparse vegetation, shortage of fresh water, and unbearable heat.Due to the lack of water, most of the trees in the town are leafless. When the wind blows gently, the dead branches and leaves will fall with the wind, so it is named Luoye Village.

Naturally, not many people live in such a harsh environment. At a glance, it is full of old and weak women and children, and few are young and strong.

Few outsiders came to Luoye Village, and Mu Ruoxin and his group attracted attention as soon as they entered the town. Everyone looked everywhere they went, and even curious children followed them, as if they were looking at strange things. .

Because there are very few outsiders in the village, there are no inns, restaurants or other places. They are all ordinary houses, and they are dilapidated.

Hei Ying couldn't take it anymore, and was the first to speak, "My lord, madam, with the speed of the golden dragon and the fire phoenix, it is not a problem even if we go back to the magic city. This place is so broken that we may not even be able to eat a meal. We Just leave."

Guardian Feng and Hei Ying had the same idea, and said, "It seems that there is not even an inn in this Fallen Leaf Village, and the subordinates also think it is better to leave."

Yan Liheng did not speak, but followed Mu Ruoxin, glanced at her from time to time, guessing what she was thinking from the expression on her face?Sympathy, intolerance, help?
Mu Ruoxin didn't say anything, just walked straight forward, stopped in front of a big tree that was about to die in the center of the town, looked at the towering old tree in front of him, but the old tree was almost dead, and there was nothing on the tree. No green leaves, only stumps.

"This is……"

An ancient tree that is so old, it seems to have at least ten thousand years of life.Wouldn't it be a pity for such an ancient tree to die like this?

"Ruoxin, what's the matter?" Yan Liheng asked softly, the voice was not high, not wanting to disturb Mu Ruoxin's meditation.

"This tree is about to die." Mu Ruoxin was extremely sentimental, full of sympathy, walked to the ancient tree, reached out to touch its trunk, but was stopped by a stern voice as soon as his hand touched the ancient tree.

"Don't move the sacred tree." An old man with full hair and temples, leaning on a cane, appeared surrounded by many villagers. Although he was dressed in rags, he still looked majestic.

Almost all the villagers of Luoye Village gathered here, even children came, and all of them looked at the outsiders with wide eyes, as if they were curious about them, but also seemed to be wary of them.

Mu Ruoxin respected the old man, took his hand back, first made a simple greeting, and then said hello to the old man, "Old man, we are just passing by here, there is no malice, we don't understand the rules here, please forgive me."

Mu Ruoxin's thoughtful etiquette won him a little favor from the old man, but his attitude was still indifferent and repulsive, and he said, "Since we're passing by, let's go while it's still dark."

"Old man, can I look at this tree before I go?"

As soon as the tree was mentioned, the old man turned his face. The little goodwill he had just now was gone, and he scolded angrily, "You really came for the sacred tree. Get out of Luoye Village immediately, or don't blame us for being rude."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the villagers in the village showed strong hostility, and some even used shovels and hoes as weapons to attack.

Yan Li frowned. Although he didn't like Luoye Village's attitude toward people, he didn't care too much about the old and weak, women and children, and said softly, "Ruoxin, let's leave. This place is too barren and sparsely populated. Even if you stay, you won’t hear any news.”

"Ah Heng, do you know why I stopped here just now?" Mu Ruoxin was still staring at the ancient tree in front of him, without any intention of leaving.

"You want to stay to find out about Miss He."

"That's just one of the reasons, there's another reason."

"Another reason, what is it?"

Standing in front of the ancient tree, Mu Ruoxin clasped her hands and put them on her heart. She lowered her head and closed her eyes, feeling the aura of the ancient tree with her heart, and said softly, "Because I can feel the breath of my father, but it is very weak. I My intuition tells me that this tree is related to my father."

"Then let's stay for a few more days to find out everything." Yan Liheng looked back at Heiying, nodded to him, and conveyed instructions with his gaze.

Black Eagle nodded in response, walked up to the old man, and asked politely: "Old man, when and who planted this tree, and why is it called a sacred tree?"

"This has nothing to do with you, please leave immediately." The old man's attitude was even worse, and he believed that these people came for the sacred tree, and he was very hostile.

"If you want us to leave, yes, then please ask the old man to answer my questions truthfully, and we will leave naturally after we get the answers."

"Humph... I just don't answer, what can you do to me? This Fallen Leaf Village is my territory, how can you allow outsiders to act wildly."

"Having said that, but if we don't leave, what can you do to us? Do you want to fight? We all have unique skills. If we really fight, you are definitely not our opponents."

"you……"

"Heiying, don't do this." Mu Ruoxin was dissatisfied with Heiying's way of handling things, and stopped him with words, and asked the old man himself, "Old man, have you ever heard of a man named Mu Changliu, also known as Mu Yaoren?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, looked at Mu Ruoxin suspiciously, and asked her back, "Why do you want to inquire about this person?"

"He's my father."

"What, he is your father? How do you prove it?" The old man was astonished and became more vigilant, but he was a little agitated. He kept staring at Mu Ruoxin, carefully sizing her up.

"I don't know how to prove it, but he is indeed my father. My father's planting technique remains on this ancient tree, but it has faded after too long. If I guessed correctly, this ancient tree The tree must have died a long time ago, but it was revived with a special technique. This technique was created by my father. No one in the world knows this technique except him. All the plants he planted The techniques are all written in a book and given to my mother, so I will also do this kind of technique."

"You will too?" The old man was dubious, thought for a while, and said: "If you can save this tree, I will believe you."

"I'll try." Mu Ruoxin turned to face the ancient tree, walked in front of it, put her palm on the trunk, stimulated the wood-type spiritual power on her body, injected the spiritual power into the tree, and gently held it up with the other palm Suddenly, a ray of clear spring water appeared in the palm of his hand, exuding a crystal blue light.Mu Ruoxin also poured the water of the clear spring into the tree, in order to speed up the curative effect, and used the ability to rejuvenate all things.

Moisturized by spiritual power and clear spring water, coupled with the rejuvenation power of thousands of trees, the ancient tree miraculously grew young leaves, and soon became a big tree with luxuriant branches. The plants, too, had come back to life, and some leaves were still glistening with dew.

The people in Luoye Village were dumbfounded, full of disbelief.

A tree that is about to die can suddenly come back to life and grow so well.

"It's amazing, it's amazing, this is simply a sacred tree!"

"That's right, the divine tree has appeared, the divine tree has become a fairy."

"Great, the divine tree has manifested."

Hei Ying was very speechless, and retorted in a low voice, "What kind of divine tree has manifested, it must be the madam who manifested the spirit." Obviously it was the madam who saved the tree.

What a bunch of ignorant villagers.

Mu Ruoxin revived the ancient tree, withdrew his spiritual power, opened his eyes when the green light on his body dissipated, looked at the revived ancient tree in front of him, and smiled.

Unexpectedly, my father's planting technique is so powerful that it can really save dying dead trees.

"Little girl, have you really revived the sacred tree?" The old man couldn't believe it. He walked under the ancient tree, touched the green leaves and vigorous branches with his hands, and burst into tears, "The sacred tree is alive!" , really alive."

"Village Chief, the sacred tree is alive, and there is hope for our Fallen Leaf Village to return to its former state."

"Yes! The hard days are finally over."

"God tree..."

The villagers also shed tears, it was tears of joy.

Mu Ruoxin was not too interested in these things, and was eager to inquire about Mu Changliu, and asked, "Old man, I have already saved your sacred tree, so should you answer my question just now?"

The village chief wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and stopped crying, turned to look at Mu Ruoxin, smiled, nodded to her, and said, "This tree was planted by our ancestors, and it has blessed us from generation to generation. The ancestor once said that as long as this tree exists, he will always protect us. But 1000 years ago, the sacred tree began to wither, and we could not remedy it, so we could only sit back and watch it perish. Hundreds of years ago, the deciduous village came An outsider is Mu Changliu, who saved the sacred tree and all of us."

"My dad has really been here." Great, finally there is news of my dad.

Mu Ruoxin was very excited, and asked: "Then what happened later! Do you know where my father went?"

"That was already hundreds of years ago. I was not born at that time, and what I know now is only passed down from generation to generation."

"How could this happen?" Mu Ruoxin was very sad.As soon as I got a little news, it disappeared immediately.

Yan Liheng didn't want to see Mu Ruoxin sad, so he comforted her a few words, "Ruoxin, don't worry, after all it's been too long, you need to be patient to find it."

Yan Liheng actually suspected that Mu Changliu was dead, but he couldn't bear to say it, so he could only hide it in his heart.An ordinary person, no matter how long he lived, would not be able to live for hundreds of years, unless he had already cultivated to become an immortal or went to the Xuanling Realm.Mu Changliu was not from the direct line of the Mu clan, and it was impossible for the Mu clan to take him to the Xuanling Realm.

"I know, I will definitely continue to look for it." Mu Ruoxin adjusted her emotions, stopped thinking about useless sad things, forcefully forced a smile, and wanted to touch the ancient tree again, but strangely, she His hand was stuck after touching the ancient tree, and he couldn't remove it no matter what, "Ah Heng, I'm stuck."

What an ancient tree, it is simply a strange tree.
