Poor monk is awesome

Chapter 243 Opening the Enlightenment Tree ([-])
The scene changed, Jiu Jie appeared in a big mansion, there were maids and servants walking around, Jiu Jie looked down and saw that he was also wearing a servant's attire.

"Hey, Zhang Xiaojiu, why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and greet the guests, you dare to be lazy on the day of the full moon, young master, be careful that the butler breaks your leg." A servant with a sultry face shouted at Jiu Jie.

"Okay, let's go." Jiu Jie grinned and nodded towards the servant.

Jiu Jie was busy with those maids and servants. Through conversations, he learned that today is the full moon of Tan Ling, the young master of the Tan family, and all the rich and powerful families in Banyue City came to celebrate.

The Tan family is one of the most powerful clans cultivating immortals in Banyue City. The patriarchs of all dynasties are strong men above the level of distraction, and the Tan family even has a family heirloom, which is a seedling of an ancient tree. It is rumored that if a member of the Tan family can get this ancient tree With the approval of the seedling, there is bound to be a chance to become a fairy.

Many fairy families came here especially to see the ancient tree, and the Tan family was not stingy, all the visitors were kind to entertain, and they took out the ancient tree to watch together, but all the visitors found that the rumored ancient tree was just a trace. If there is no spiritual energy, it is not even as good as the lowest-level spiritual grass, and gradually everyone thinks that the rumors are false.

In fact, the Tan family also had doubts about the rumors of the ancient tree. The only peculiar thing about the ancient tree seedling was that it had been passed down for so many years, and it was still a seedling, showing no sign of growing up.

But even if the rumors are probably false, the tradition of the descendants of the Tan family recognizing the owner of the ancient tree seedlings on the day of the full moon after birth has always been preserved. Although no Tan family has ever been recognized by the ancient tree, the Tan family believes that this ancient tree Good luck.

Jiu Jie inquired about the news, and guessed in his heart that the ancient tree seedling was probably the Enlightenment Tree. Could it be that the spiritual end was recognized by the Enlightenment Tree?
The banquet is about to start. There are hundreds of tables set up inside and outside the living room. Jiu Jie followed the maids and servants in and out with dishes, and found an old tree seedling in the center of the hall. An old man in gold robes with a golden knife Sitting in the first seat, next to a black-haired old woman, both of them are distracted.

A middle-aged couple stood next to the old man, holding a baby in their arms. The baby was not afraid of the noisy atmosphere, but sucked his fingers and smiled with crooked eyes.

Jiu Jie stayed in the hall, standing aside and pouring wine for the guests.

"Today is the full moon day of my darling Sun Linger. I am very grateful to you all for coming." The old man in the golden robe hugged the baby and said to everyone in the hall.

"Grandpa Tan has won the award. The Tan family has been the pride of the heavens for generations. Now that Lin'er is happy, he must be even stronger. We all came here to enjoy the glory." A middle-aged monk stood up and cupped his hands in congratulations.

"What Master Pengfei said is very true!" The guests in the hall echoed one after another, saying congratulatory words one after another.

Grandpa Tan suddenly beamed with joy, and looked down at his grandson with a smile.

"Father, let the ancient tree recognize the Lord." The middle-aged man next to him said.

"Okay, okay, let my good grandson benefit from the blessings of the ancient tree and live a long and worry-free life." The old man in gold robe nodded and smiled.

"Today is another day for you to witness that the descendants of my Tan family recognize the ancient tree." The old man in the golden robe carried the baby to the table in the center of the hall where the ancient tree seedlings were placed.

Everyone in the hall blessed again, and the voice of praise was endless.

The golden robed old man gently pinched the baby's delicate fingers and lifted them above the seedlings of the ancient tree. A streak of spiritual power passed by, and a bloodstain appeared on the baby's finger, and a drop of blood fell on the ancient tree.

At the moment when the blood dripped onto the ancient tree, Jiu Jie suddenly opened his eyes wide, because he found that many lines suddenly appeared around the ancient tree. Those lines he had seen in the dream before, but the people around him Turn a blind eye.

No, they can't see it at all, only they can see it.

Jiu Jie instinctively felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and quickly rushed out of the hall.

The people in the hall were startled by Jiu Jie's sudden movement.

"Who dares to make trouble in my Tan Mansion!" A loud voice sounded.

But then, a terrifying aura emanated from the ancient tree seedlings. Mr. Tan was the first to bear the brunt, and his body quickly turned into fly ash. Only the baby in his arms was rolled up by the ancient tree seedlings, and the roots penetrated into the baby's body .

"How could this happen!" Patriarch Tan yelled in disbelief, not knowing why their family heirloom suddenly became so terrifying.

Patriarch Tan rushed towards the ancient tree seedling with red eyes, wanting to snatch his child back, but halfway through the rush, his body rapidly aged and turned into a pile of dead bones.

In the Tan Family Mansion, with the hall as the center, a terrifying thunder and lightning suddenly appeared, there was ice in the sea of ​​fire, the ground cracked, and strong winds swept across. The Tan Family Mansion was completely wiped out, along with the guests and everything in the Tan Family Mansion. 's disappeared.

Jiujie escaped and looked at the ancient tree sapling floating above the place where the Tan Mansion used to be. At this moment, more than half of the tree's body had penetrated into the baby's body, and the baby fell asleep without any abnormality.

Jiu Jie found that the lines around the ancient tree began to disappear slowly, and the surrounding thunder, lightning, fire, and frost gusts also disappeared instantly. At the same time, Jiu Jie found that with the fusion of the ancient tree and the baby, the baby's aptitude was improving rapidly So, it was originally a top-grade spiritual root, but it was quickly promoted to a super-grade spiritual root. After the ancient tree was completely fused with it, it was actually promoted to a top-grade spiritual root.

"This...is a bit like a marrow washing pool." Jiu Jie muttered to himself.

After the ancient tree and the baby merged, the baby floated in the air, and the surrounding residents began to surround them. They knew the terrifying vision of the Tan Mansion before, and they started chattering about the disappearance of the Tan Mansion. Some people rushed to the City Lord's Mansion When reporting the crime, someone pointed at the baby and said with fear on his face:

"The tree demon, it's the tree demon. I saw the tree demon enter the child's body."

"Burn this child to death, otherwise the tree demon will come out again, not only the Tan Mansion, but even our Banyue City will suffer."

"Yes, burn him to death, burn the dryad to death."

"But he's just a child. The city lord will definitely subdue the tree demon when he comes."

"Even Mr. Tan is gone. How could the city lord be the opponent of the tree demon? We must avoid future troubles."

………………

While the crowd was chirping, hundreds of city guards rushed over to disperse the crowd, and a middle-aged man wearing black and white patterns walked over.

"Participate in the city lord!" Everyone respectfully said in unison.

"What happened to the Tan family?" The city lord Ban Yue looked at the ruined Tan mansion and the baby floating in the air in shock.

The residents next to him immediately spoke up, and after understanding what had happened, the Banyue City Lord looked at the baby in horror:

"The ancient tree passed down by the Tan family is so terrifying that even Mr. Tan died. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with, so I have to ask Master to come and have a look."

"All of you are not allowed to move rashly, back away quickly to avoid danger." Ban Yue shouted loudly, and then crushed a piece of sound transmission jade pendant.

Banyue City Lord is a disciple of Wendaozong in Yunzhou, and his master is Daoxu Daoxu, the ancestor of Wendaozong.
