Dawn in the Immortal Mountain Chapter 28: Peach Tree Disaster
In the north of Niyang Town, the peach blossoms are in full bloom as if they were in March, and the fragrance flowing out is magically carrying the aroma of wine.
It's just that when Su Mu and his party came here, they didn't have the intention to enjoy the flowers.
Because around Taolin, the Niyang townspeople who gathered were actually divided into two camps, and the situation was tense.
Most of the people on one side were holding sickles, rakes, hoes, poles and other objects. The other group of people also held sharp long knives tightly in their hands, but some also held hatchets, kitchen knives, wooden sticks and other objects.
"Taoist Priest, what they are arguing about is the peach tree in the back."
In fact, there is no need for Monk Hai to tell you. At a glance, you can see a group of people holding hands around a huge peach tree. Its branches and leaves cover the sky and the earth like a canopy. The trunk is so thick that even seven or eight people cannot hug it completely.
When a monk like Su Mu looks at it, he can see that there is abundant spiritual energy around this peach tree, and there is spiritual energy flowing between the branches, leaves and petals.
It is expected that this peach tree is the place where the legendary sword immortal got drunk. Now it seems that the peach tree is gradually becoming spiritual.
"Are they going to cut down the peach tree?"
Yunqi noticed that some people were holding axes in their hands, and some were carrying wood saws.
And from the quarrels between these people, we can roughly hear the reasons.
"It seems so."
Su Mu listened quietly for a moment amidst the noisy noise, and was completely convinced in his heart.
"baffling!"
Surprisingly, Tan Rusu showed an anger that was not in line with her temperament, "The world is so big, what do they do with this peach tree growing here? Besides, it is because of the existence of the peach tree that these people can live and feed well.
What a bunch of ungrateful pariahs.”
On weekdays, Tan Rusu interacts with people freely. When she gets acquainted with her, she will indeed make some small jokes, giving people a lively and lively feeling.
But whether she is facing elders or strangers she meets for the first time, she will pay attention to etiquette unless the other person gives her a bad impression first.
Even if she encounters injustice, she will not get angry.
Just as the four bandits on Tongchang Mountain said that day, there would not be much fluctuation on the surface after she found out. In the end, she just informed the county government of the matter and asked the county government to solve it as soon as possible.
But it was different now. Tan Rusu was so angry that she was already walking towards the people in Taolin, showing that she would teach these townspeople a lesson the next moment.
"Master!"
Yun Qi reminded her that the fox tribe could read the anger of people best and knew that Tan Rusu was really angry.
Su Mu took a step forward and grabbed Tan Rusu and said, "Don't be impulsive. Even if you want to help them, you must first understand the ins and outs of the matter. I don't think these people will cut down peach trees for no reason."
Fortunately, his words made Tan Rusu calm down.
At this time, the people confronting each other in the forest also noticed Su Mu and his party, "outsiders?"
"Hello,"
He calmed down just as quickly as he got angry. Tan Rusu stepped forward with a smile, bowed his hands to everyone, and said, "We heard that the peach blossom wine in your town is the inheritance of the Sword Immortal, so we came here specifically to taste it."
"I just saw that the store in town was not there and heard the noise here, so I looked for this place. I hope you can forgive me for this unintentional move. But are you trying to cut down the peach tree?"
A little girl talks so politely and politely that it makes people angry.
Yunqi saw from Tan Rusu that there were two completely different things before and after. Even seeing Tan Rusu like this for the first time in a few days, he was quite surprised.
Then he asked Su Mu next to him: "Master, is she really okay?"
Su Mu said he didn't know either.
In short, Tan Rusu is indeed quite strange sometimes.
However, everyone has secrets.
The two of them seemed to be from the same school and were familiar with each other, but in fact they were just acquaintances.
Since Tan Rusu didn't want to say anything, Su Mu naturally didn't want to ask.
Then he said: "Little junior sister is kind-hearted. Perhaps she saw that the peach tree has become spiritual and cannot bear to see it cut down."
Spirituality is not the same as spiritual intelligence.
From being spiritual to having spiritual wisdom, it may take a few years, or it may be decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years.
But Peach Tree at this stage will definitely feel that these people want to cut her down, or want to kill her, but she is powerless. This feeling is undoubtedly extremely difficult to bear.
"Taoist Priest, let's go up and take a look." Monk Hai, who was hiding in the world in his sleeves, couldn't help but join in the fun.
"Let's go, I'm also curious about why these people want to cut down a peach tree that has helped them and brought them countless wealth."
When the townspeople heard Tan Rusu's words, the people on the other side of the tree felling could not help but look guilty.
They came here to taste the peach blossom brew, how could they not know the significance of the peach tree in Niyang Town, not to mention that they were going to cut down this tree now.
This kind of thing became known to outsiders, and many people began to lament it.
At this time, Su Mu came to Tan Rusu, saluted everyone, and said, "We all come here because we want to see the place where the Sword Immortal slept drunkenly."
"I heard from the elders in the family that there is a peach tree in the peach forest in Niyang. Its branches and leaves are like clouds hanging from the sky, and its flowers bloom all year round. It is the place where the Sword Immortal slept drunkenly."
"Now it seems that this one is the one in front of me. It is indeed extraordinary. I just don't know why you want to cut down the peach tree? Aren't you afraid of being disrespectful to the sword fairy?"
Everyone looked at Su Mu in unison.
Looking up and down, one can feel that Su Mu has a good temperament, and in his conversation, he looks more like he comes from a famous family.
Since he was not wearing the Shushan disciple uniform, of course it was impossible for him to still be wearing the hunter uniform in Tongchang Mountain.
He just changed into a green shirt and hung a jade pendant around his waist. He looked like a learned scholar.
Therefore, such words were quickly recognized by the peach tree guardians.
And directly carry it and bombard the party who wants to chop down the tree.
The four words "disrespect to the swordsman" really put a lot of pressure on people.
Ever since.
The leader of the tree-cutting group also came out. He also saw that Su Mu and his party were well-dressed and scholars. It would be bad if this kind of thing was not explained clearly and spread.
"I don't know, sir, but we also have our own reasons."
The man is about forty years old, and judging by his clothes, he belongs to a merchant family, and he is quite wealthy.
I saw him let out a long sigh and said: "Not long ago, for some reason, evil spirits appeared in this peach forest and wreaked havoc on the peach forest."
"Not only are we unable to continue our business, but the key is that these ghosts are still killing people in the town. My wife... was harmed by these evil ghosts."
"What?"
Tan Rusu was slightly startled, then calmed down and said, "If there are ghosts, we will catch them. Why do we need to cut down the trees?"
The man said: "This tree is protecting those evil ghosts now. Only by cutting it down can we catch the ghosts."
Hear this.
Su Mu and Tan Rusu looked at each other.
Yun Qi also looked intently into the forest and couldn't help but frown.
Obviously, none of them saw any ghostly energy in this peach forest.
Tan Rusu watched carefully again.
Su Mu asked softly: "Who said there are evil spirits in the peach forest?"
Before the man could speak, the villagers next to him said one after another: "It was the training master sent by the county. The master said that only by cutting down the peach trees can we catch the evil spirits. There is nothing we can do about it. They
