Strange love across time and space

The vine demon used the money to buy himself a small house first, then bought some clothes, shoes and socks, and added some furniture and daily necessities. He felt that with these, the living environment was almost the same as that of ordinary people, so he took advantage of the opportunity. In the evening, he distributed the remaining money to several poorer families he had noticed before. After doing this, Teng Yao felt very accomplished! Decided to help more people.

Next door to Teng Yao's house is a private school run by an old scholar. Every day he can hear the sound of reading. He often lies on the window sill of the private school to watch the students reading, and he also learns a lot of knowledge. The old scholar knows that he is stealing Although he wanted to learn from the old scholar, he did not drive him away. The vine demon was very grateful to the old scholar and helped him work from time to time. He did all the hard work such as fetching water and chopping firewood. The old scholar saw that he was tall, handsome, and diligent, and liked him very much, so he asked him to sit in the last row and study with him. Because of the vine demon's own spiritual power, he learned very quickly and often had a photographic memory. The old scholar I have never seen such a smart student. Once after school, the old scholar stayed with the vine demon and asked him, "What is your name? Where are your parents at home? Why are you the only one in the house?"

In fact, Teng Yao had already thought of his excuse, "I don't have a name, and I don't know who my parents are. I grew up in Ci'an Hall. Later, no one took care of Ci'an Hall, and we children went out to make a living separately. I have been out for seven or eight years, and when I was at Ci'an Hall, they called me Big because I was tall."

The old scholar stroking his beard looked at the vine demon and asked with a smile, "How about I give you a name?"

The vine demon was very happy and quickly said, "Thank you sir!"

The old scholar said, "Since you don't know your surname, I won't give you a surname. If you find your biological parents one day, you will naturally know your surname. I will just give you a name." Then. He looked up and down at the vine demon again and said, "I see that you are tall and have a handsome but majestic face. Your elegant name doesn't suit you. You wear dark clothes all day long, so I'll call you Phantom. What do you think?" ?”

"Phantom?" the vine demon repeated, and then looked at the old scholar happily and said gratefully, "This name sounds nice, from now on I will be called Phantom!"

From then on, Phantom studied with the old scholar in the morning, helped fetch water and chop firewood during recess, and went out to work in the afternoon, or helped the lonely old man do some heavy work. In the evening, he flew to several nearby mountains to collect herbs. It made people suspicious. Phantom learned the lesson from last time and only dug some common herbs every time he went up the mountain. The particularly precious ones were dug only once every few days. Although the money in exchange was not a lot, he did help a lot of people. Phantom not only helps the poor with money, but when he sees local bullies taking advantage of them on the street, he will help them without hesitation. As time went by, those bullies hid away when they saw the Phantom, because they couldn't defeat him, no matter whether it was overt or covert, they were defeated miserably every time! I couldn't find anything about Phantom's past. In battles with bullies again and again, Phantom discovered that the nature of these bad guys is hard to change. If he leaves here one day, those bullies will continue to harm the people. So he took advantage of the night, turned into vines, went to the houses of those bullies, and put himself The venom in the leaves condenses and drips into the mouths of the bullies. The venom is colorless and odorless and can kill people in their sleep.

Within a few months, everyone discovered that many bullies in the county and some village bullies in nearby villages were holding funerals at their homes, so some rumors spread, saying that those who died were all bad people who had done many evil things, because the ways of death were all different. In the same way, God must have collected them!

This matter spread from person to person, and not long after, an old Taoist priest came to the county town. This Taoist priest also had some skills. As soon as he came to the county town, he felt something strange. After wandering around the streets for a few days, he got to know Phantom. After he inquired about Phantom's home, he directly told Phantom straight to the point, "Young Taoist Qingyun, if I'm not mistaken, you are not a human being. From ancient times to the present, by chance, There are many animals and plants that have cultivated into human form, may I ask which category do you belong to?"

Phantom was shocked and looked at him warily. No one Phantom had ever seen could tell that he was not human. Even when he looks in the mirror, he feels that his appearance is no different from that of a real human being.

Seeing him like this, Taoist Qingyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I heard a lot of people's praise for you outside. You have helped many people. You are a good demon and have a heart of a chivalrous man who does justice." , so I came here this time to ask for your help to save more people."

When Phantom heard what he said, he relaxed his guard and said, "I am a thousand-year-old white vine. I cultivated into human form half a year ago. May I ask, what do you want me to do?"

Taoist priest Qingyun was very happy when he heard that it was a thousand-year-old white vine, because whether it is an animal or a plant, it would take at least three hundred years to cultivate into a human form, and the older the person, the stronger the spiritual power. So he said, "You have only lived in the human world for half a year, so naturally you don't know what the outside world is like. In this continent, there are many aliens like you, and many of them are monsters who are not as kind as you. On the contrary, they relied on their magic skills to harm the people, burning, killing, raping, and some even eating people! How many innocent people were brutally murdered, and the government could not catch them, so I found you because I wanted to use your magic skills to Are you willing to defeat them?"

After hearing what Taoist Qingyun said, Phantom felt surprised and angry at the same time. He was surprised because he thought he was the only alien in the world, but he didn't know that there were so many of the same kind. Furious that his kind were so cruel and vicious. So he looked at Taoist Qingyun solemnly and said, "I am willing to work with the Taoist to punish evil and promote good!"

The next day, Phantom gave the house to the old scholar next door, and distributed the remaining money to the poor people he had helped. After saying goodbye to everyone, he rode away with Taoist Qingyun.

Along the way, Taoist Qingyun told Phantom a lot about the world, the customs, customs and habits of each place, as well as the magic methods commonly used by monsters. Phantom remembered them all.

That day they came to a grove and saw an exquisite wooden house in the grove from a distance. The phantom stopped and said to Taoist Qingyun, "I seem to feel that there are demons." Taoist Qingyun smiled and said, "It is indeed a thousand-year-old white vine. Indeed, the wooden house in the distance is the home of the Willow Demon. The Willow Demon is five hundred years old." He was cultivated from a willow tree. More than ten years ago, he turned into a human form. At first, he was not so cruel. Later, whenever pedestrians passed by this forest, he would eat people. The government could not catch him, so they invited He killed my master, and my master and more than a dozen of our brothers were unable to subdue him. My master and several brothers were killed in the fight." After saying this, Taoist Qingyun showed a sad look. After hearing this, Phantom was very angry and said to Taoist Qingyun, "Master Taoist, please don't be sad. Today, I will do justice for heaven and avenge those dead people!" After saying that, he flew up and arrived in front of the wooden house in an instant. The door of the cabin was kicked down, but there was no one in the room. Taoist Qingyun ran over and looked inside the room and said, "Liu Yao must have gone out, but he will definitely come back before dark. We will wait here."

After waiting for almost two hours, Phantom stood up and said, "He's here.". Sure enough, after a while, he saw a middle-aged man coming in. When he came in, he was very surprised to see Phantom and Taoist Qingyun.
