chapter 65
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Xiaoxian heard Zhu Shijun in the next room making even sound sleep. Since the old man got better, he changed his bad problem of not being able to sleep at night, and fell asleep early at this time.

Xiao Xian pushed open the window and slipped out of the house.The spring insects squeaked, a few night clouds floated in the sky, and the hazy moonlight shone on the path in the mountains.

Xiao Hai didn't have the guts to go to the temple with Xiao Xian to try his best. Fortunately, Xiao Xian had already memorized the way, and followed the moonlight to the Montenegro.In the eyes of Xiaoxian, the night with poor vision is like daytime, and she can clearly see a layer of glistening green mist on the surrounding trees.During the day, Xiao Xian deliberately slowed down in order to match Xiao Hai's pace.

It was night now, and the surrounding area was nothing but trees. She didn't touch the ground, and it took only half an hour to arrive at the temple, a full hour and a half earlier than the originally agreed time.

Before Yezi came, Xiao Xian waited in front of the temple. The peach tree in front was in full bloom, and there was a strange noise behind the temple. The unremarkable temple actually glows emerald-like dark green at night.

In the southeast Miao village, Yezi finally waited until there was no movement in the room of Muma and Abba. He tiptoed to the side of the stairs, and just as he was about to go downstairs, he saw that Muma was raising big moths.

"Go away," Yezi knew, as soon as he touched the stairs, the moth would report to Mama.

The moth was still flapping its wings, closely monitoring Yezi's misbehavior.A ball of fiery red rushed over, and the golden beak hit the moth with incomparable accuracy. When the bird stretched its neck, the moth was swallowed.

"Good little pig, you're still clever," Yezi called out happily, remembering that he was still at the stairs at this moment, and listening carefully to see if there was any movement in the room, the room was still quiet.

Yezi hurried downstairs, "Little Pig" followed behind, and went into the night together.

When Yezi rushed to the side of the temple, the moon was already in the sky. From Yezi's eyes, the peach blossom tree was no different from the daytime, full of the same peach blossoms.

The surroundings are quiet, and everything seems to be still.

"Isn't Zhu Xiaoxian afraid? They haven't rushed over yet," Yezi said to himself. The night was too quiet, but it seemed unusual. Yezi noticed that even the buzzing of insects had disappeared, " Something is not right, even the most noisy grasshoppers have lost their voice." Yezi walked back and forth in the same place, stepped on a foreign object, and took a closer look, it was a cluster of peach blossoms.

The peach branch with two or three peach blossoms was picked by Yezi from the peach tree during the day and then secretly pinned to Zhu Xiaoxian's braids. After leaving the mother tree, this branch of peach blossom should have died long ago, but the peach blossom Yezi saw was still the same. Lifelike, just like living.This branch of peach blossoms also reminded Yezi of one thing, Zhu Xiaoxian came here, and then something happened, so they disappeared.

Don't worry, Yezi could hear a rapid heartbeat, he stopped at the spot, gritted his teeth, and walked to the mass grave behind the temple.

Some petals fell here and there on the peach tree of unknown age, a small head poked out from the tree, and in the pool under the peach blossom tree, there was a pink and tender little face. "He really went to the back. I don't think there's anything weird about the mass grave, but this peach tree is weird."

Just now in front of the temple, Xiaoxian noticed that the peach tree next to her looked different at night than during the day. During the day, she noticed the peach tree and found that the peach tree was about 40 years old. Come over and take a look, the exact age of the peach tree is no longer clear.Moreover, the peach trees are surrounded by strong green energy, which is very similar to the "sugar cane seedlings" in the space when they absorb spiritual energy.

Why can an ordinary peach tree absorb spiritual energy? It's not weird.Xiaoxian became suspicious and hid in the tree.

At this time, Li Ye had already gone to the temple and didn't turn back. Xiaoxian only thought that he was going to fight for courage, even if she went a little late, it didn't matter much.

After twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the most abundant "spiritual energy" of the day arrived, and the sugarcane seedlings in the iron space began to swallow the spiritual energy again.In this comparison, I immediately saw the superiority, the peach blossom tree trembled like a person, and the petals fell one after another, looking like a tearful beauty, arousing pity.

Xiao Xian felt the tree trunk shaking under her body, she jumped down from the tree, and a woman's figure appeared on the peach tree.

"Sure enough, it's weird. Are you a peach tree, a monster or a monster?" Xiaoxian circled around the peach tree. There must be a reason why this peach tree is young but knows how to absorb spiritual energy.

"Little fairy, don't be angry. I'm not a monster. I'm just a wandering soul that lives under the peach blossom tree." The peach blossom tree's voice was clear and smooth, like the voice of a woman in her 20s.

The statement about the mass grave behind the temple is actually wrong.The real burial place is actually under the peach blossom tree now.Before and after liberation, unclaimed corpses were piled up here, and the woman's name was Taozhi.With her parents fleeing from the provincial capital to the countryside, her family of five encountered bandits and died in a foreign land while staying overnight in the temple.

After the woman died, she was discarded in the wild like other abandoned skeletons.Decades later, the whole country was liberated, and the temple was refurbished with government funding. Monk Shanyin came here to preside over it.The monk was kind-hearted, and sorted out the bones that had been abandoned in the wild and left unattended one by one. The bones of the woman and her parents and siblings were also safely moved to the government cemetery.It's just that she was grateful for the kindness of monk Shanyin, so she rested on this wild peach tree.The human soul resides on the tree, and after being baptized by the sun, moon and wind, the soul and the tree become one, and listening to the chanting of monk Shanyin in the temple day and night, he realizes the method of practice and learns to absorb spiritual energy at night way.

"As for the ghost that the Miao family child said, is it Tao Zhi who made you blame it?" After listening to Xiao Xian, he also dispelled his doubts.

"Master Shanyin likes to be quiet. In order not to be disturbed by others, I created a few ghost images with spiritual energy to scare off a few thieves." Taozhi sighed, and she gave up the chance to reincarnate with her parents , stayed next to the temple, just to repay Shanyin's love for collecting the bones.

Over the past few decades, she watched Shanyin grow old and alone, and her gratitude turned into admiration.It's a pity that Taozhi's soul has long been fused into the peach tree like flesh and blood.Human beings are the masters of all things. If one can practice the Dharma, it will take one year to go through the first calamity to be reborn. The tree cultivating immortals will have the opportunity to transform into a human form after more than a hundred years of calamity. Taozhi Jianshan is lonely and lonely. As a result, he transformed into a human form and accompanied him by his side.

"So that's how it is," Xiaoxian hesitated, and then looked at the peach tree. She was very moved by the story of Taozhi. It would take more than fifty years for Taozhi to transform into a human form. Because she died of old age, Tao Zhi's painstaking efforts were in vain.It was precisely because he was anxious to get more spiritual energy that Taozhi couldn't help absorbing the spiritual energy of other trees, and the movement was too loud, which attracted Xiao Xian's attention.

"Little Immortal!" Tao Zhi still wanted to speak, but the little girl in front of her was gone.

After a while, Xiaoxian appeared again, holding a drop of emerald green liquid in her hand.

Needless to say, the "sugar cane seedlings" in the space were stabbed again.

"Taozhi, I have a drop of fairy liquid here. Ordinary trees can grow into ten-year-old trees in one go. I don't know what the result will be if you use it on your body. If you want, we can try it. , " Xiao Xian said with certainty.

"Thank you, little fairy, Tao Zhi is willing to give it a try as long as she can be reborn as a human being as soon as possible," the shadow of the peach blossom tree whirled, and a woman could be seen faintly.

The temple still stood there quietly, and the people inside and behind the temple remained silent.

With a flick of Xiao Xian's finger, the drop of fairy liquid was mixed into the soil under the peach blossom tree. After the emerald liquid entered the soil, it turned into a puff of green smoke.After a while, the peach blossom tree still didn't move, Xiaoxian opened her eyes wide, and even the "sugar cane seedlings" in the space shook their heads in anticipation.

"Why is there still no movement?" Xiao Xian wondered, just about to take a few steps closer to look again, suddenly there was a thunder flash in the sky, Xiao Xian was so frightened that she backed up two steps, only heard the clear night sky, and suddenly a strange wind blew up At that time, thick clouds gathered from the northeast, a burst of thunder flashed out of the sky, and there was only a sound of "thunder", the peach blossom tree had already been struck by a thunder flash, and the petals fell and danced for a while.

The shadow of the peach blossom tree also changed, first it turned into a curvaceous figure of a woman, and then shrunk sharply.

Behind the temple, Yezi was looking for Xiao Xian with the "little pig" in his pocket, and the thunder in front of the temple also alarmed him.

Yezi ran forward, and "Little Pig" got out of his collar, with interest in his dark eyes.Yezi didn't take a few steps before seeing Zhu Xiaoxian standing alone, beside her was a smoking peach blossom tree.

"Zhu Xiaoxian, are you alright?" Yezi ran to the tree and followed Xiaoxian's gaze to look at the peach blossom tree.The pink petals had been scorched by thunderbolts, and the trunk of the tree was also broken in the middle, but it was only in the middle of the peach blossom tree.
"What are you two doing there?" Monk Shanyin, who had rested a long time ago, also heard the movement, and found out with his clothes on. He still held a candle in his hand, and the light was just enough to shine on the faces of the two children. .

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," the baby's cries were loud and clear in the night after the thunder.The trunk of the broken peach blossom tree was hollow, and there was a baby girl inside. At this time, the baby girl was crying and waving her hands and feet.

It's done, it's really done, a drop of immortal liquid directly made Taozhi cross the century limit, and attracted thunder calamity.The surprise in Xiaoxian's eyes was replaced by joy, and she ignored Yezi's obstruction, pushed aside the trees, and carried the little baby girl out.

"Peach branch?" Xiao Xian lowered her voice, scratched the baby girl's chin with her finger, the baby girl stopped crying, and Xiao Xian's face was reflected in her clear eyes.
