The piece of black wood in front of me is only as big as a palm.
Dark.
But it has a nose, eyes, hands and feet.
What a freak.
After Chen Yan helped it remove the eggshell, the freak lay on the ground, holding his chest with his hand and gasping for air, looking like he had suffered internal injuries.
Chen Yan squatted down, stretched out his fingers and poked the monster's belly.
Hard.
"What kind of monster are you? You hatched from an egg and you're still so young?" Chen Yan asked.
"Go away, go away, don't touch your grandpa." The freak shouted impatiently.
Chen Yan raised his hand and moved a few particularly large eggshells back, pressing them on the freak's body.
The freak suddenly shouted: "Ouch, ouch, brother, please spare my life..."
Finally, the wooden freak gave in.
Chen Yan picked up its head. It was so big in the hand, but it seemed to weigh tens of thousands of kilograms: "Who are you? How could you be hatched from an egg inside the Jianmu Sacred Tree?"
"Brother, can you stop scratching my head like this? My neck is about to break."
"Where did you get your neck? Tell me quickly!"
Chen Yan could see it. When this guy was still in the egg, he was arrogant and domineering, but now without the eggshell, it seems to have become weaker after coming out of it. Even tens of thousands of kilograms of eggshells can crush it.
If you yell, you won't be polite to it.
"Hey, okay, okay, this is called Nirvana and rebirth."
"Rebirth from Nirvana? Who were you before? Don't try to lie to me, or I'll beat you up."
"It's true, a tiger is bullied by a dog... Big brother, big brother, don't fight, I am the companion vine of the Jianmu sacred tree."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, curled his lips and said: "Jianmu's companion vine? I thought you were Jianmu's tree spirit! A vine is also making noise here."
The companion vine shouted: "Brother, don't look down on the vine! Don't think I'm weak now, you haven't seen me when I was strong. Back then, grandpa and I fought against the gods. A vine trapped the heavens, destroyed stars and broke the sea, and the heavens controlled the gods.
How many of the strongest have died at my feet."
"So awesome? Then why are you so weak now?"
"I have just been reborn and have been sleeping for countless years. You are bullying a young child and have no bottom line."
Chen Yan was moved and asked it many questions.
Companion Vine told Chen Yan that the Jianmu Sacred Tree was severely damaged during the ancient war, and it perished along with its divine vine. The Sacred Vine passed through Nirvana, but Jianmu was hit even more seriously, and it has not yet reached Nirvana after sleeping until now. The Jianmu that grows now
The sacred tree only has a body but no spirit. The tree spirit doesn't know how long it will take to wake up again. Maybe it will fall into a deep sleep forever and never wake up again.
Chen Yan asked it if it knew Jing Tong, the previous leader of Jianmu.
Shen Teng shook his head and said he didn't recognize it. It had been in nirvana and only woke up today.
Then he said: "What is the Lord of Jianmu? It is simply ridiculous. How can a powerful existence like the Jianmu Divine Tree recognize someone else as its master? That is to say, the tree spirit is sleeping, and the tree body itself does not have much resistance. You can establish a soul link through some means!
Not to mention Jianmu, even grandpa and I, no one dares to be my master."
Chen Yan slapped it on the forehead: "Whose grandfather are you? My grandfather has died a long time ago! Give you a name!"
He thought for a while and said, "You look small and black now, so let's call you Xiaohei!"
"What? I am Jianmu Bansheng, Tianhuang Shendeng, how can I be called such an ugly name?"
Chen Yan said: "That's called a clown."
"Ah no, that's not as good as Xiao Hei!"
"Well, that's such a happy decision."
"No, brother, I think I can change it again. You can call me Invincible, or Great Sage, or Great Emperor!"
Chen Yan simply ignored it: "Xiao Hei, what are the runes on this eggshell?"
"This...this is the Taoist treasure, Nirvana and rebirth."
