Inuyasha: I am the villain

Chapter 141 Human Face Tree ([-]) Subscribe

The next day

Early in the morning, a group of people knelt outside, praying and saying, "Pray for the spirit of the tree to appear."

Zong already stood in front of the tree and said to them: "You must have no distracting thoughts and pray sincerely. Only in this way will the sacred tree descend and bear fruit."

I listened to him pretending to be a ghost in the room, just like a cult is reactionary, and people would believe such nonsense.

There were prayers one after another, and the buds on the tree slowly opened, and it really grew into a human face, just like the human head fruit I picked up in the river.

The human face could not speak, and let out a childlike laugh, which in my opinion was particularly creepy, but the people rejoiced and prayed harder.

The laughter died away, the flower withered, and from its place grew a small fruit, like a peach.

Zong Ji said again, "Keep worshiping with devotion, and it will bear fruit in the evening!"

Kneel down at night from now on?I'll go, I won't be dizzy on my knees.But the kneeling person didn't think it took too long, and was very happy.

It’s hopeless, it’s hopeless, it seems the only way is to let it show its true colors, let’s go outside and find out the details of this human-mask tree.

I slipped out of the room and climbed out through the back wall.When I went to the street, I found that there were very few people, and they all went to worship the tree.That's okay, so that people won't think I'm crazy when they see me talking alone later.

I walked to the place where I met Yu Nu for the first time.

"Yu Nu, where are you?"

I looked left and right, and she appeared in a dark corner, but she was not in a good spirit, with a faint ghostly aura.

"Are you OK?"

Yu Nu nodded weakly, "I was injured by the Human Face Tree yesterday, and I can't get close to it for the time being. Miko, please help me."

"I will help you, but you have to tell me everything you know without reservation."

"Yeah." Yu Nu nodded and recalled: "I didn't know that I was a ghost when I woke up. I didn't know until I found out that others couldn't see me or hear me. I can only find this from their conversations. I tried to enter that courtyard, but every time I was blocked by a human face tree, I couldn't get in, so I hit that man's idea."

No valuable information. "Do you know the origin of the Human Face Tree?"

"I don't know, I only know that anyone who eats its fruit can make their dreams come true, so many people come here especially for it."

Dreams come true, but it sounds like a lie.If it's true, I'll be done here.

"What's your fiancé's name?"

"His name is Wugua."

"Oh... what's his name??!"

Yunu saw that I was emotional, so she didn't dare to say: "Call, call Wugua."

Rain girl without melon? ?This name combination is also absolutely perfect, why do I have a faint feeling that they can't make it.

Finally I asked Yu Nu a question, "Are you sure your fiancé is there?"

"I'm sure, he is the best at making umbrellas, so I knew it was his when the man held it up."

Zong Ji said that he was the only one who lived alone, and that Yu Nu's fiancé was probably dead.

"Let me remind you first that he may not be alive."

After I finished speaking, I left.

Yunu's weeping voice came from behind: "I know..."

……

I don't know much information from Yunu, so I can only ask the locals.I found a very kind-looking aunt who was drying clothes in front of her house.

"Auntie, may I ask how to get to Zongji's house?"

The aunt looked at my attire and said, "Oh, Miko-sama, you are from another place, right?"

"Hehe... yes." I still have to change clothes in the future. Since the Cuizi war, the profession of witch has become the most respected profession, with a higher status than mages and monks.But I just want to collect clues now.

"You are also here to worship the sacred tree of his family. Let me tell you, you will never come in vain. Any wish can come true."

"Hehehe, so powerful."

If I wish for world peace, will it come true?

"That's right, why not call it a sacred tree?"

"Ang, such a divine tree must have grown for a long time, right?"

"That's not it." The aunt thought for a while and said, "It's less than a year."

"Auntie, don't tease me, how can a tree that grows for a year bear fruit." The tree is three or four stories high, and it doesn't take hormones so quickly.

"I'm not lying. Everyone knows this. It really grew up in a year."

It was undoubtedly the demon tree. "Doesn't anyone find it strange?"

"It's quite strange, but the sacred tree is different, and it must be different from ordinary trees in all aspects."

It seems that the concept of the sacred tree has taken root in people's minds. If I say it is a demon tree, I might be chased and beaten all over the street.

"That Zong is quite capable. Being able to plant such a sacred tree, wouldn't he be able to fulfill all his wishes and have no worries?"

"You are wrong again. He is the worst one, but his wish cannot be realized."

I keenly sensed gossip, and couldn't help lowering my voice: "How should I say it?"

My aunt was also infected by me, so she leaned over and said, "He most wants his wife to come back to life, but it's impossible."

"He has a wife?!"

"Yeah, they've been dead for a year."

"Then why didn't he make a wish?"

"Because, his wife came down to earth from a fairy, and that sacred tree was turned into after his wife's death to protect us!"

"..."

I really believed in your evil, how could I believe such a ghost story.

"Don't believe it, Zong already said it himself, and after eating the human face fruit, everyone really thinks what they think!"

Is it possible to become an emperor if you want to?so funny.

"Auntie, you are so sure, have you eaten it too?"

"I've eaten it. Speaking of this, everyone didn't dare to say it at the beginning. It looks exactly like a human. It's scary. Later, Zong opened it. When everyone saw that it was just pulp, they got used to it."

"Has the whole village eaten it?"

"Yes, everyone has a wish!"

"Since they have all eaten, why do they still have to run and kneel down?"

"Well, after one is resolved, there are other wishes."

...Doesn't this encourage people's greed?

"Then why didn't Auntie go?"

"Hey~ I only have one wish and it has come true."

I originally wanted to praise her for her integrity, but when I saw her flushed face resting on one hand, with spring in her eyes, I couldn't say goodbye.

"What kind of wish can make her show such an expression?"

Huan asked: "Do you want to know?"

"A little curious."

"She wants her husband to be strong everywhere." Huan paused, and added: "He's still alive."

"What kind of life..."

As I was talking, I suddenly figured it out myself, and gave my aunt a thumbs up in my heart.

After arranging the collected information in my head, I can probably conclude this story: Zong Ji's beloved wife died a year ago, he refused to accept this fact, and used some invisible means to turn her into a up a tree.

If this is the case, there is nothing to say if it does not harm others, but now that the tree has started to harm people, it cannot be allowed to continue to exist.

But there is a big problem. If the whole village eats the human face fruit, it means that everyone is under its control. If I fight it head-on, the precipice will turn into a fight between me and the whole village.

This is the worst possible situation.

So I'm going to destroy it secretly and secretly.

Just in case it didn't work out, I had to find another suit and cover my face so they wouldn't know who I was.Even if some of them woke up and complained that the sacred tree was destroyed, it would not be my fault.

As soon as I made a plan, I heard hallucinations:

"Hey, you can go now, don't take risks."

I just finished thinking about the plan, "It's all here, let's go now?"

"It's nothing to do with you, aren't you looking for someone with a high level of cultivation, and there is none here."

"Huan, what's wrong with you, if I had flinched before, you would still be mocking me and bickering with me."

"...It used to be before, but now it's different."

"What's different?" I stopped to think about it, "It's really different, I'm stronger now, so you don't have to worry."

Huan held back for a long time, but still compromised, "Forget it, let's go."

what happened?

　Sneaky driving... Auntie is cute.
