I am not human

With the news that "the holy wood may be in University A", the two returned to the mountain management office.Xiao Hei nodded thoughtfully after hearing this: "Big A? That's not surprising. I also read related news from the captured dream fragments."

"Then Jiufang and I will go and have a look tomorrow." Liao Qingshu suggested.It's too late now, it's inappropriate to go to a human university to find someone at this point in time.

No one objected, Jiufang Ziyan yawned, greeted Liao Qingshu and prepared to leave.Just when the two were about to go out, Xiao Hei suddenly raised his head.

"By the way, since you are going to University A, I think you might as well meet this person."

He turned the computer screen around, and there was a student's profile on it: "——Su Shan, a first-year graduate student in University A, majoring in urban planning and construction."

"Then who? A big monster? I've never heard of such a number one person." Jiufang Ziyan said lazily.

"He's a human being." Xiao Hei cast a cold glance at Jiufang Ziyan, "He's the dream traveler who brought out Shengmu Mandui."

If Shengmu Mandui really chooses to settle in University A, then 90.00% of the reasons are because of Su Shan——Xiao Hei said so.

I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, it's always right to look for it.So the plan the two of them made the next day was: Jiufang Ziyan went directly to search for Shengmu Mandui, and Liao Qingshu went to Su Shan to inquire about the situation.

"Su Shan is relatively easy to find, after all, he knows his name and major. But how do you find Shengmu Mandui?" Liao Qingshu asked Jiufang Ziyan before leaving the house.

Jiufang Ziyan carried a very energetic sports backpack for the first time today, and he opened it for Liao Qingshu to see.Liao Qingshu took a look, and saw something similar to a compass inside, next to his small light cannon, and a lot of jade and yellow talismans stuffed in it.Liao Qingshu was secretly speechless: "May I ask if you are going to a duel or a war?"

"After all, the opponent is a tree demon, or a tree demon transformed from a holy tree. It's always right to be fully prepared." Jiufang Ziyan replied.Compared with birds and beasts, flowers, plants and trees are generally less intelligent and more intelligent. The progress of cultivation is much slower than that of beast monsters, but their foundation is more solid. They belong to the late bloomers. Tougher than beast monsters of the same level.Among them, the dryads are the most troublesome, because their characters are very helpless.

Most of the demon clan's temperament is similar to nature, like the fox clan's passion, snake monster's debauchery, these character traits are all innate.The same is true for the spirits transformed by plants. Many flower demons are delicate, sensitive, and innocent; grass demons tend to be tough and humble, and know how to compromise.As for the tree demons, most of them have inherited the indomitable and self-willed disposition when they were born as plants.If you really want to communicate, it is far more practical to use your fists than your mouth.

"Ah, that's it." Liao Qingshu digested this series of explanations for most of the day, and could only choke out this one sentence.After all, he had never done exorcism work, nor had he faced similar monsters head-on, so it was really hard to understand.

"In short, you just need to know that this guy is very tricky, and if you don't beat me, you won't be submissive. If you dare to talk about chauvinism with me today, I will beat you too." Jiufang Ziyan said, throwing the backpack back to his shoulder Go up and walk out the door first.Liao Qingshu followed behind and asked, "After we find it, what should we do with that sacred tree? It shouldn't pose a high threat, right?"

"That's not necessarily true. It's not uncommon for the dryad to switch from drinking water to eating meat on a whim. And even if it evaluates as non-threatening, it may still have to contact the Eastern Heaven Realm to pick it up. But this mountain management can't do it, so we have to Rely on someone from the Jiufang family to get in touch."

He turned around and saw Liao Qingshu's petrified expression: "Hey, what's the matter with you? Let's go!"

"No, it's just... a little bit surprised." Liao Qingshu tried her best not to look like a country bumpkin, but anyone would feel very uncomfortable when someone said that "Oriental Heaven" was the same as "Old Wang next door", right?

"I know that the Jiufang family has a big background, but I didn't know it was so big and has friendship with the heavens." Liao Qingshu murmured.Jiufang Ziyan chuckled: "Where did the friendship come from? It's just a great ancestor. Otherwise, how can those gods who think so highly of themselves be willing to put mere human beings in their eyes?"

Indeed, I heard from Jiufang Ziyan before that the "Mountain Sea Realm" supervised by the Mountain Management Office was originally created by an ancestor of the Jiufang family to detain spirits and strange beings who are different from human beings.Although the gods and the like were not detained, a lot of black history was recorded, and the expert still set aside their positions in the mountain and sea boundary as a warning.Thinking of this, Liao Qingshu couldn't help sighing: "The ancestor of the Jiufang family... is really handsome and powerful."

"It's so big, leaving such a big mess will cause trouble for others."

"Hey! So it's not good to say that my ancestors are not good? Maybe he did this for future generations like you..." In Liao Qingshu's mind, truly great people are always forward-looking in their actions.

"To tell you the truth, no." Jiufang Ziyan replied, "Some people are born to do certain things. Whether they are beggars or princes, this thing must be done, and it must be done. This is the 'fate'. For that ancestor, the construction of the mountain-sea boundary is his 'fate', and it has nothing to do with whether his surname is Fang or Yuan, he just 'coincidentally' named Jiufang."

"How do you know that the ancestor didn't have such great power because he was born in Jiufang's family?"

"I just know." As Jiufang Ziyan said, he pushed out the battery car from the garage, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go quickly! After today is over, I will accompany you to find ghosts... Really, I have never seen you do this of."

"Ah, by the way, speaking of this..." Liao Qingshu hesitated and stepped onto the battery car, but did not say the second half of the sentence.In fact, he thought about it for a long time last night, and felt that it was his own willfulness to take in Lao Zhan, and Jiufang Ziyan had no obligation to help him find it.Although he is now sharing the water, electricity and food expenses, he is still living in Jiufang Ziyan's house in essence. It is considered polite for Jiufang Ziyan to confiscate his rent, but he still insists on raising a cat ghost in Jiufang Ziyan's house, which is a bit outrageous up.

Maybe it's because Jiufang Ziyan's attitude has become a little more easy-going recently, so he's getting carried away with complacency?Liao Qingshu speculated like this, and wanted to apologize to Jiufang Ziyan, but always felt a little hard to say.

...I can't bear this face at all, and it's really shameful to apologize solemnly like the Japanese, it's like slapping yourself in public.

In fact, it would be great if you can apologize in an understatement and humorous way at this time.Liao Qingshu contemplated for a long time, and finally prepared her speech. She laughed "haha" twice in the back seat of the car, and was just about to speak when she slammed on the brakes, and the battery car stopped.

Liao Qingshu couldn't catch up, and threw herself on Jiufang Ziyan's back.He went out in a hurry today, without a helmet, and bumped into it with his mouth wide open, his front teeth bit into Jiufang Ziyan's backpack, and he suddenly felt that these two teeth were so cold that they couldn't be saved.

"The guards here seem to be strictly checking, let's not drive in, just stop here." Jiufang Ziyan said, and turned to look at Liao Qingshu who was covering his mouth: "What's wrong with your mouth?"

"...It's nothing, I accidentally bit a dog's fur."

Jiufang Ziyan raised his eyebrows in confusion, but didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he got out of the car and stuffed Liao Qingshu with a dozen of talisman papers, repeatedly urging him to contact him with PHS immediately if he found something wrong—his mobile phone was tragically shut down due to overpayment Now, if you want to contact him, you can only call his special phone for customer service.

After explaining roughly how to use the talisman paper again, Jiufang Ziyan swung his backpack and strode towards the school gate with a compass in his hand. With the sunglasses and aura, one could tell at a glance that he was from the Jianghu. The status in the gang is not low, so he was stopped by the security guard on the spot.Liao Qingshu couldn't bear to look directly at him, covered his eyes, stuffed his hands full of yellow talismans into his pockets, and decided to focus on the matter in front of him first.

His mission is to find Su Shan and inquire about the location of Shengmu Mandui.This is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to say. After all, there are no fixed classes and classrooms in universities.The solution that Liao Qingshu came up with was to download a class schedule app, add all the courses that Su Shan's professional conference took into it, and plan to search for each classroom according to this schedule.

Holding the mobile phone and walking towards the teaching building, Liao Qingshu had just walked more than ten meters away when she suddenly heard a meowing sound coming from the side.

He turned around following the sound, and immediately widened his eyes - he saw a big black cat with green eyes lying on the steps not far away, with a slightly square head and a very familiar look.

Liao Qingshu immediately walked towards the big black cat, was about to reach out to grab it but stopped, thought for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Old Zhan?"

The big black cat meowed, jumped up suddenly, wiped Liao Qingshu's hand and ran out, and disappeared in the doorway of the teaching building ahead in the blink of an eye.Liao Qingshu hurriedly got up to catch up, and just ran into the teaching building when she heard an "Ah!" from the stairs.

Liao Qingshu looked over and saw a fair boy in a khaki jacket getting up from the ground in a hurry, with a few pieces of paper scattered beside him.Liao Qingshu helped to pick up the papers on the ground, and found that there were some incomprehensible things on them, such as planning and design drawings. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a card on the ground. She picked it up and saw that it was a campus card for students. The name of the owner is clearly written on it: Su Shan.

Liao Qingshu was startled, the thing in his hand had already been taken by the boy. "Thank you!" The boy smiled awkwardly, "Just now a big cat ran out of nowhere and ran right into my leg. Its momentum was like a cannonball."

"Well, that's pretty miserable." Liao Qingshu responded perfunctorily, and then asked: "You are Su Shan, right? Are you majoring in urban planning and construction?"

"Uh, yes, I am. What can I do?"

After thinking for a while, Liao Qingshu asked: "That's right, I want to ask you, do you know... Muman?"

Muman—this is also the name Xiaohei told him, and it is said to be the pseudonym used by Shengmu Mandui in Sushan's dream.Liao Qingshu didn't know if he still used this name now, so he could only ask with the mood of trying it out.You can't ask Su Shan directly if he has seen a walking tree recently.

"Muman? What are you asking him for?" Su Shan looked at Liao Qingshu suspiciously, but Liao Qingshu secretly heaved a sigh of relief: asking such a question proves that Sheng Mumanhui really exists as "Muman". This is so easy.

"I... I'm from his hometown. I heard that he was studying here, so I came here to visit him." Liao Qingshu lied casually.Su Shan tilted his head: "My fellow? Are you from Huaguoshan too?"

"...Well, we picked peaches together back then." Liao Qingshu said bravely. , He didn’t answer the phone calls, and he didn’t reply to the messages... He once mentioned you to me, are you friends? Do you know where he is now?” Liao Qingshu tried her best to appear sincere.Maybe it was because he really didn't look like a bad guy, Su Shan finally spoke after looking at him a few times: "Muman is my junior and my roommate. He has no class this morning, so he is probably still sleeping at home. If he doesn’t answer your call, he probably fell asleep. If you really want to find him, go to him directly. Go through the small woods behind the building, and walk through a small door to the community where we live. 5 Room 203, remember to knock on the door louder, otherwise he won't hear you."

"Oh, yes! Thank you so much!" Liao Qingshu was overjoyed, thanked her hurriedly and ran out of the teaching building.Su Shan stood there watching him leave, looked down at his dusty trousers, and frowned slightly.

Suddenly there was the sound of running on the stairs, and the fair boy who was standing there turned his head and showed a helpless smile: "Senior, it's too slow! Fortunately, I got up early to deliver something to you!"

"Ah, I'm so sorry!" The boy called "Senior" jumped down from the fourth step of the stairs, with an apologetic expression on his face: "This teacher keeps a strict eye on me, so I managed to slip out through the back door ...Did you bring all my pictures? And my student card?"

"It's all here." The white boy handed over everything in his hand.Su Shan put the student card in his pocket, and said to the boy Bai Jing: "Thank you, sorry for the trouble. By the way, do you want to go back to sleep now?"

"No, I'll have lunch with you later, please invite me." The white boy said confidently.Su Shan nodded indifferently, turned back and walked upstairs, walked two steps and then turned around and asked, "Mu Man, are you in a good mood today?"

"Yeah, if you can eat pot-packed meat at noon, you will be in a better mood." Muman rubbed his face and smiled lightly: "Then I'll go first, and I will come to you at lunch. Guo Baorou oh!"

As Muman said, his eyes moved to the shadow under the stairs.There, a big black cat with a square head bared its teeth threateningly at him.

Muman raised his eyebrows fearlessly, turned and left briskly, still humming a ditty.
