Chapter 8 She kept the tree for three years, she hatched seven broods
Li Zhengjing came to the pavilion at night. This time he opened the wooden box, unsealed a jar of strong wine, and hung it on top.
According to the detailed instructions on the golden page, he placed the remaining wine jars between the pavilions, then turned and left without looking back.
Normally at this time, after he had finished his drink, he would return directly to his residence, but this time, he only walked more than a thousand steps before he stopped and sat down against a tree.
In two quarters of an hour, he will turn back, and then he will get the Five Elements Tree of Fortune!
"Why do you think this kind of thing is so ridiculous?" Li Zhengjing complained in his heart. After he had hung up the liquor in the previous two nights, he went straight back. Tonight, with the cold wind blowing here, he felt quite nervous and nervous, and thought to himself: "What if
If you can get the Five Elements Fortune Tree, what does this cold wind mean?"
He didn't know at this moment that just because he had not returned to his residence as usual, outside his residence at this moment, Deacon Lin, who was over sixty years old, was also breathing heavily in the cold wind and cursing in his heart.
"A person who is only seventeen years old, stays away from home every day and night, shows no behavior, and insults the Immortal Sect. It is really not a pity to die for such a delinquent boy!"
Deacon Lin secretly comforted himself and thought: "That's all, as long as we can let him, Li Zhengjing, die, what does this cold wind mean?"
At the same time, outside the pavilion, less than a quarter of an hour after Li Zhengjing left, he saw a white light piercing the night sky and falling on the pavilion. It was the white bird.
"Why is there so much wine tonight?"
Bai Niao thought: "Although there must be no traps in the Immortal Sect, the sages have written that it is necessary to be on guard against others. I cannot drink all of these twelve jars of strong wine..."
With this thought in mind, it plunged into the hanging wine jar and thought to itself, "Just take a few sips and ignore the rest, so you won't be fooled by him."
After three sips of wine, it stuck its head out, panting, and didn't feel it was enough to soothe its throat, so it simply drank the jar of wine cleanly.
Immediately, he saw it emerging from the wine jar, and was about to spread its wings and fly away, but then saw a whole box of wine jars on the ground, showing hesitation.
"Isn't it a waste of money to waste such good wine here?"
"Sages say that hard work and frugality are the virtues of our generation. How can we waste our natural resources?"
"Besides, this wine came here naturally, so it must have some spirit."
"The book says that if there is no owner, a virtuous person will take it! If there is a spiritual thing, a talented person will get it!"
Bai Niao's eyes were in a trance, and he thought to himself: "I am eight years old this year. I have been studying for three years. I have a lot of knowledge and have both ability and political integrity. This should be my spiritual wine!"
It was so drunk that it no longer hesitated, spread its wings, picked up the twelve wine jars under its claws, and flew towards where it came from.
"It is said that God will assign great responsibilities to this people, which will definitely tax their minds and muscles."
"This wine will definitely sharpen my Taoist heart and make my bones drunk. In the near future, I will have a big responsibility!"
Bai Niao was overjoyed and said to himself: "This is God's test for me!"
It grabbed the box of wine jars and flew straight back to the valley, seeing a red light in the distance.
The source of the red light is a small tree, no more than five feet tall, with five branches that sway in the night wind.
One of the branches was shining with red light, reflecting the valley, and around the small tree, wherever the red light was reflected, the vegetation withered, as if it had been burned.
There is only one small tree left in the entire valley, full of vitality!
"No! Junior Brother Lin is here!"
Bai Niao saw a person in front of the valley in the distance, walking toward this side of the valley. His pace was brisk, like flowing clouds and flowing water. He couldn't help being startled, and said to himself: "We can't let him see me leaving my post without permission!"
The white bird suddenly flew high. For fear of being seen by him, it quickly circled half a circle and landed at the back of the valley.
Immediately, it looked at the twelve jars of strong wine at its feet and immediately hid them among the surrounding weeds.
After doing all this, it seemed to be relieved, flew forward, and landed on the Five Elements Tree of Fortune.
"Junior Brother Lin, why are you here?"
"..."
The young man in white clothes in front of the valley stopped and looked at the white bird that had landed on the Five Elements Tree. He looked quite angry and said in a deep voice: "You are ordered to guard the Five Elements Tree, how can you leave without permission?"
Responsibilities?”
The white bird was shocked, its hair was all over, and it was furious, and said angrily: "How can you taint my innocence out of thin air? I have guarded the Five Elements Tree of Creation for three years and never left my post without permission? You are slandering! You are slandering me!"
"
The young man surnamed Lin had cold eyes and said loudly: "Recently, thanks to your grandfather's teachings, I have made great progress in my cultivation. Just when you saw me from the sky, I also saw you. Do you still want to deny it?"
Hearing this, Bai Niao lowered his voice and said in a muffled voice: "I just went to the latrine to pee."
The young man surnamed Lin asked: "You are a bird and you go to the latrine to urinate?"
The white bird was startled for a moment, then said angrily: "What's wrong with the birds? Birds can't go into the hut? Are you looking down on us birds? My grandfather is also a bird, why don't you follow him in practice? The sages have said that all living beings are equal.
Do you dare to look down on me?"
"Stop messing around with me! How dare you make excuses when you smell like drunk?"
The young man surnamed Lin immediately waved his sleeves and shouted: "The Five Elements Creation Tree is the most precious treasure of our sect. It undergoes changes every six years, and now it is changing in the 'fire' among the Five Elements."
"And what I practice is the Heavenly Fire Flame Burning Immortal Art. During these six years, if I can practice under the Five Elements Creation Tree and absorb the energy of the flames, I can get twice the result with half the effort."
"Because of your grandfather's kindness, I will give you the opportunity to guard the Five Elements Creation Tree to help you enhance your magical power of Lihuo!"
"Although you have been guarding the Five Elements Creation Tree for the past three years, the person responsible for guarding it above the sect is still me."
"You have repeatedly left your post without permission and wasted this great opportunity to practice. If the Five Elements Creation Tree is damaged, even I will be implicated!"
At this point, the young man in white became more and more dissatisfied and said: "Look at yourself, you are already an eight-year-old bird. You are no longer a fledgling. Can you still make people worry less?"
Shiratiao was speechless for a moment, lowered his head, and whispered: "Just tonight, I went out once..."
However, the young man snorted coldly: "Do you really think I don't know? You have left your post without authorization not once or twice!"
Seeing that he knew everything, the white bird didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. He raised his head weakly, raised three feathers on his right wing, and said in a lower voice: "Only three times, just in these three days and nights."
"Do you think I'm stupid? Do you still dare to deny it now?"
When the young man heard this, he became even more angry: "Before you came to guard the Five Elements Creation Tree, it was already known to everyone that you went to lick the feathers of the white crane that lives in the forbidden area of the back mountain every day!"
Bai Niao couldn't help but argue: "What's going on? Does this have anything to do with my absence from duty? That was all before I came to guard the Five Elements Fortune Tree!"
"She has hatched seven clutches of eggs in the three years you have been here!"
The young man sneered and said: "You still dare to say that you have not left your post without permission? If you have been guarding the Five Elements Creation Tree for three years and have really never left it, then can these seven nests of bird eggs still be my seeds?"
"..."
The white bird's eyes were dull and it stood on the tree, swaying.
"Tonight I saw you leaving your post without permission. Let's see how you can make excuses!"
The true disciple surnamed Lin immediately waved his sleeves in anger, turned around and left, leaving a message: "Tomorrow I will inform Mr. Bai about this matter. From now on, I will be responsible for guarding the Five Elements Creation Tree!"
"..."
The white bird seemed not to have heard it, but its eyes were in a daze, its beak moved slightly, and it murmured: "It's an insult to politeness... It's an insult to politeness... It's shameless... It's shameless..."
It roared, screamed, and suddenly shed tears.
Tears fell to the ground, and in an instant, the land was scorched like a fire.
It howled loudly, desolately and miserably, and broke down in tears: "bastard thing...bastard thing..."
It felt like it was full of depression and had nowhere to vent, so it suddenly shouted!
Boom!
Then I saw that under its depressed aura, it could not help but spit out flames, suddenly lighting up the night sky!
The flames bloomed and sputtered in all directions.
Rumble!!!
I saw that the twelve jars of strong wine that it had hidden nearby were ignited by flames in an instant and suddenly exploded!
The flames spread immediately, burning everywhere in an instant, including the weeds on the ground!
The wind blows the fire and spreads it!
"..."
Bai Niao suddenly had a clever idea, woke up in an instant, and exclaimed: "It's a disaster, it's a disaster..."
It was panicking in its heart, watching the flames burning closer and closer. It was so drunk that it still felt sad, and its head was confused. It was so frightened that it fluttered its wings and ran away!
The flame continues to burn, approaching the Five Elements Creation Tree!
The originally cold night wind blew through and became hot, blowing through the treetops and making a sound that was just like human speech!
"It's a disaster... it's a disaster..."
The wind blew through the treetops, and the sound sounded like someone talking.
Then the words became angry and even panicked: "That damn bird, instead of coming to put out the fire, it actually ran away for its life. It was deliberately trying to burn me to death..."
There was a crash!
Under the light of the fire, you can see five branches on the tree hanging down to the ground, like five arms, stretching to the ground!
This tree actually grew six feet tall, with all its roots rising from the ground!
Then... it used thousands of tree roots as legs and feet, and escaped from the fire with a snap!
The true disciple who had just walked out of the valley suddenly sensed something happened behind him, turned around, and saw the sudden fire in the valley, his expression changed drastically.
"Asshole!"
This true disciple looked frightened and angry, and immediately stepped on his feet, and his true energy came out from under his feet.
Boom!
A three-foot-deep pit exploded in the ground!
But the other person has already risen from the ground, leaping a hundred feet!
At the same time, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall who were patrolling the surrounding area also noticed the change and came from all directions, their movements were like the wind and their speed was extremely fast.
At this moment, in the pavilion, Li Zhengjing, who had just left for two quarters of an hour, turned back and saw the mountain fire spreading in the distance, and couldn't help but look confused.
Logically speaking, as a disciple of this sect, he should go and participate in putting out the fire, but after reading the method of changing one's fate on the golden page, he did not take any action. He just thought to himself: "As long as I stay here, I can gain the Five Elements."
Creation tree? Is such a ridiculous thing really happening?"
Just when he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a figure approaching quickly on the stone steps under the pavilion, and he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.
However, when the figure approached and took a closer look, Li Zhengjing was even more surprised.
This figure is as skinny as a stick, has five arms, and hundreds of legs and feet, and can run extremely fast!
As he got closer, he could see clearly that what was running towards him was actually a tree!
"Is this the Five Elements Tree of Creation?"
Li Zhengjing was startled for a moment, then he rushed forward without hesitation, took out the huge sack he had prepared, and covered his head with it!
"Who dares to attack Mr. Shu?" The sack kept struggling and a voice came out.
"He actually became a sperm!"
Li Zhengjing was panic-stricken. He skillfully held down the sack and punched him seventeen or eight times in a row. When the sack stopped moving, he quickly picked it up and left quickly.
Behind him, the fire in the valley gradually calmed down.
The true disciple surnamed Lin and the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall looked at the valley that was burned to ashes, their expressions extremely ugly.
