That was a long time ago.

At that time, Suhua Mountain had not yet grown into a spiritual mountain of heaven and earth.At that time, the subsequent story had not yet begun.

Suhua Mountain is just a small peak, at the foot of the mountain, there is a forest of locust trees.

No one knows where these pagoda trees come from, but they only know that these pagoda trees have grown here spontaneously since ancient times.The locust tree has no name yet, and it is no different from his brothers of the same clan. It inherits the scenery and rain every day, grows wantonly, freely and ignorantly.

Plants are no more than birds and beasts, and even less than humans, the spirits of all things.Although they can also practice transformation, it takes a long time to immerse themselves in it.Suhua Mountain occupies a spiritual eye, and it is accompanied by spiritual objects such as the nine-leaf golden lotus, which is full of spiritual energy, so the vegetation in the mountain is ignorant and has a little wisdom.

This kind of spiritual intelligence is very weak, not even comparable to a newborn baby, but a little spiritual root has been planted in the grass and trees, so that they have the possibility of practicing transformation.From ancient times to the present, it is nothing but a chance to practice the monsters of plants and trees.

Originally, the locust tree should take root, germinate, grow, and bloom here like all his brothers and sisters, and then one day pass on its own seeds to raise countless locust trees like himself, and then leave safely. Go, decadent.

However, one day, a boy walked into Huailin.

His body was stained with unknown blood, and he didn't know what kind of tragic things he had experienced. He staggered into the locust forest, chose one of the many locust trees, leaned against the rough trunk, and fell asleep.

The one chosen by him among thousands of locust trees is the locust tree.

Huaishu, who was only a little bit ignorant, didn't know what this boy's arrival would bring him. He just vaguely felt a little breath of life, and was awakened by this breath, like the twilight of the morning light in the dark, Let him open his eyes in a daze.

Not long after the boy fell asleep, a large group of people broke into Huailin.

They held sharp knives, looked fierce, and their clothes were stained with crimson blood, which had already dried up.These people acted as usual one by one, it can be seen that the bloodstains belonged to others.They were wandering in the forest, as if they were searching for something.

Huaishu suddenly "realized" that these people were looking for that boy.

He himself doesn't know why he has such a consciousness, and such thoughts have long been beyond the thinking range of a locust tree.But he woke up and had this thought.

—"The child cannot be found by them."

Huai Shu thought in his heart, thinking anxiously.

What can he do?In fact, he can't do anything!He is still just a locust tree, even though he has a little more consciousness compared to other locust trees, but he is still just a locust tree.No hands, no feet, this child cannot be taken away.He also had no voice, so he couldn't remind the child to wake up and leave quickly.

The boy was already leaning against the trunk of the locust tree, showing no sign of waking up.Maybe it was because of a fight and fleeing, he was already too tired and lost his usual vigilance.

In the pagoda forest, footsteps gradually approached.There were five people in this group of uninvited guests, three men and two women, and when they walked in, they could see blood-stained swords in their hands.

"Go for it separately!" said one of the men, "Little brat, you can really escape!"

A thin and soft female voice interjected: "Brother, that's just a child less than six years old, or else, or else"

"Fifth Sister is wrong, if you cut the weeds and don't get rid of the roots, you will suffer a lot one day!" The girl in purple in the group said, she suddenly recalled the last look the boy looked at them, and couldn't help but slap her. a shudder.

A big man in the group also nodded, sighed, and said, "That's a wolf cub, if he escapes."

"It's getting dark, hurry up, go back quickly." The leading man clapped his hands together and said, "This place is full of locust trees, looking gloomy."

As if responding to his words, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the forest, and there was a continuous rustling sound, blowing Huaiye to the ground, adding a lot of weird atmosphere.

The five of them all felt a chill in their bodies, so they dispersed one after another, shuttled through the locust forest, and went to find the boy who didn't know where he was hiding.

As for Ming Huai, feeling the sound of footsteps going away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the gust of wind, he shook the branches and leaves desperately, shaking off a lot of leaves from the locust tree, almost burying the boy who was leaning on the trunk.He didn't know if this would hide the boy, but it was the only thing he could do.

Several shouts were vaguely heard in the forest, probably the five people were notifying each other.They traveled all over half of the Huai Forest, but they still couldn't find the boy.

A footstep suddenly approached and gradually intensified.Ming Huai's heart became more and more tense with the sound of footsteps.He shook the leaves even more desperately, and more leaves fell, covering the boy's body.

The footsteps came closer, then further away.

Ming Huai breathed a sigh of relief, he thought, that's great, did he escape?

But then another footstep suddenly remembered, getting faster and closer, and then stopped suddenly.This is the youngest woman in the group, wearing a goose-yellow long dress, she has not reached her hair yet, with a thin blush on her cheeks, she is no different from ordinary little girls.

Even the heart is the same soft.She stopped in front of the locust tree, glanced at the hills of locust leaves, hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned and left.

"Brother, there are no more here." She turned around and shouted to the outside.

The leading man was silent for a moment, and then said: "Understood, Fifth Sister."

The girl in light yellow clothes slowly walked outside, and the other four seemed to have completed the investigation, and all approached in the direction of the girl.

The girl seemed a little anxious, and quickened her pace.

"Fifth Sister, what are you in a hurry for?" A short man among the five teased, seeing him with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, his description was wretched, and people would feel bored when they saw him.He glanced at the girl thoughtfully, and said, "But you met Huai Gui, and you ran so fast?"

"..." The girl was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and said vividly, "That's right, it's such a big locust ghost with a green face and long fangs, it scares the hell out of me!"

The wretched man smiled and said, "I see, I can't see it!"

As he spoke, he took a sudden step forward, brushed past the girl's shoulder, looked past the girl, and looked behind her.

He looked at the pile of pagoda tree leaves like a hill, and said with a smile, "It really is a big pagoda tree ghost, isn't it, Fifth Sister?"

The girl's eyes darkened, as if she had expected the fate of the child, she turned her head away, unable to bear to look directly.

Holding a short knife in his hand, the man approached the pile of locust leaves step by step.Then, swing the knife down!

This knife split the locust leaf and cut it directly to the root of the locust tree.The man let out a "huh", laughed embarrassingly, and said embarrassingly: "It seems that it is Huai Gui, and even I was fascinated. Little sister, you should leave quickly, so as not to be dragged to the ground."

"Third brother" the girl looked at the man, her almond eyes widened, and she suddenly raised her voice, shouting, "Be careful!"

"?!"

The boy turned over from the pile of locust leaves, holding a shattered dagger in his hand, aimed at the man's vest, and stabbed it fiercely.

The girl had no time to react, she watched the dagger sinking into her third brother's chest dully, she couldn't remember, she should raise her sword to fight back.

Not to mention that man, he never imagined that a child less than six years old would have such courage, courage and courage.He only said one child, but he was lucky enough to escape from their siege. He was exhausted at this time, so he would definitely be captured.

Unexpectedly, the hunter will eventually become the prey one day.

The dagger sank into flesh and blood, and the man let out a shrill scream, and fell to the ground, unable to move.The dagger was already blunt, and the boy's aim was not very good. The knife only pierced into the man's lung and could not kill him instantly.

——It’s just that he won’t live long.

"Third brother!!!!" The girl let out a mournful cry, and finally came to her senses at this moment, drew out the long sword pinned to her waist, and pointed it at the boy.

She met the boy's gaze.There was no fear in the boy's gaze, even calmer than her holding the sword.There was no hatred or anger in those black eyes, just like the bright moon in the sky, cold, calm and scary.

The girl's hand holding the sword trembled, and she felt that what she was facing was no longer a "person".In the boy's eyes, the most basic emotions that exist as a human being are missing.

"Huai Gui! You are a ghost, right!!" The girl screamed, and at this moment, the man who was lying on the boy finally ended his pain and fell into a permanent deep sleep.

The blood spilled over the ground and spread to the boy's feet, but he looked calm and ignored it. He bent down in front of the girl's sword tip, and picked up the short knife that fell on the ground.

The short knife was still too long for him, the boy waved it in his hand, as if he didn't feel comfortable, he threw it to the ground.And he himself, stepped over the man's body, and pulled out the dagger from his back.

Blood splashed on his cheeks, but his eyes were as calm as ever.

Among the confronting two people, the girl with the long sword in her hand was the stronger one, but under the gaze of the boy, she couldn't help but retreated steadily, almost collapsed, and almost abandoned the sword and fled.

At this time, several other people scattered in the Huai Lin finally rushed over.

With a bang, the sword in the girl's hand fell to the ground.She herself fell to her knees on the ground, tears fell unconsciously, and she completely collapsed.

"Big brother!! Big brother, he, he, this child, he" the girl's lips moved silently, her face was as white as paper.

The other three people who came over after hearing the sound were also shocked.The sun had already set in the west, and under the dim yellow light, the boy standing in the shadow of the locust tree mixed with the dagger in his hand and the corpse at his feet, showing an indescribable fear.These people were also murderers who had experienced great storms. Except for the girl, the other four also had countless lives in their hands.They thought they had long been numb to killing, but at this moment they found that they were still afraid when they saw the dead body.

Even in such a disparate situation, the boy's eyes still did not change.It was as if the four people in front of him were the prey, and he himself was the hunter who dominated everything.

A gust of wind blew by, and clusters of locust leaves rang.Blood-stained leaves fluttered in the air like butterflies.From the cut roots of the locust tree, a white mist rose up, sticking to the ground, slowly crawling to the bottom of the four people's feet, adding a ghostly aura.

Among the group of people, the girl in purple was the first to take it no longer and took a step back quietly.Her movement seemed to be a signal, and the man beside her couldn't help shaking.Only the man at the head was still relatively calm. He supported the girl who had completely collapsed, and looked at the boy.

——However, that expression made him tremble.

"Retreat first!" The man hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "This is no longer human, and it is beyond our ability to deal with it."

He comforted himself: "Anyway, I have become a ghost, and our mission has been completed."

After finally getting this command from the man, the other two breathed a sigh of relief, turned and left Huailin without looking back.

The leading man picked up the collapsed girl, glanced at the boy, then turned and left.

Behind them, the boy stared at their leaving backs, and he closed his eyes only after everyone left, then fell down on the pile of locust leaves, and fell asleep soundly.

And the locust tree, that is, Ming locust tree, also breathed a sigh of relief, and in the slight moonlight, it shook off the locust tree leaves, and gently covered the boy.

The boy lived in the locust forest.

He took the heaven and the earth as his hut, and the roots of the locust tree as his bed, and he lived like this.If you are thirsty, you can drink the dew on the leaves of Sophora japonica.If you are hungry, you can eat the fruit of the locust tree.

The locust tree was very happy. He shook off the leaves and spread them on his roots, in order to make the boy sleep more comfortably.He worked hard to grow, grow the branches and grow more leaves, so as to receive more dew and bear more fruits.

At this time, the pagoda tree didn't know that he was different from other pagoda trees.

The fruit of the locust tree cannot be eaten, but the fruit it bears can.Other pagoda trees are gradually withering, but he keeps growing, growing, growing.

One day, when the locust tree became the only locust tree in the locust forest, the boy also changed from a boy to a teenager.

The teenager is no different from when he was a child, even his eyes are the same as before, cold and devoid of any human emotion.He was the same as when he was a child, living in the roots of the locust tree.Of course, he has grown taller, and the place where he lived before can no longer accommodate him.

But the locust tree has grown very big, and there is enough space for the teenager to rest.The crown of the locust tree has become a dense section of tapestry, which can easily block a piece of the sky.

Finally one day, the boy left Huai Lin, and he did not return all day and night.

The locust tree, which already had its own consciousness, experienced loneliness and anxiety for the first time.

On the first night, with the bright moon hanging high, Huaishu thought dejectedly that the boy would definitely not come back.

He was about to become the same as before, standing alone in Huai Lin.This time, not only was there no one to accompany him, but even his kind was gone.

But the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the canopy of the locust tree, the boy came back from outside.He stood in front of the locust tree, as if he had never left.

The only symbol that can prove that he has left is the long sword in the young man's hand.

Huaishu was very happy, because in the shadow of the sun, he vaguely saw a smile on the corner of the boy's mouth.

The days have returned to their usual calm.The young man began to practice sword in front of the locust tree, and his posture of dancing the sword was flowing, as if he was born for the sword.

The locust tree is also growing silently, but now, he can no longer grow taller.Inside the trunk of the locust tree, some important changes are brewing, but the locust tree itself doesn't know it.

He only saw the boy growing taller little by little, and slowly turning into a young man.

One day, when he had grown into a young man, he looked at the locust tree and asked an important question: "What's your name?"

The locust tree thought for a long time, but still could not answer this question.

Before he could give an answer, the young man left Huailin again.This time, he took the sword and traveled far.
