Welcome to the lock demon tower

My name is Xiaotao.

I don't know when or why I became conscious.I only know that when I first opened my ignorance, I was deeply rooted in this barren mountain. It was the most common, small peach tree in this inaccessible mountain forest.

Even the peaches that are produced every year are gray-green, green and shriveled.Insects, birds, animals, and hunters or walkers who occasionally pass by, rarely stop for me.

I can't speak, I can't move, the only thing I do every day is to stare blankly at the sky, the clouds roll and the clouds clear, the wind, frost, rain and snow.The sun just rises in the east and sets in the west, from the warm spring flowers blooming to the scorching sun in summer, and then to the yellow leaves flying, curling up and dyeing the forest all over the forest, and soon the wind blows and the snow dances, the whole mountain is covered with white, even my The branches were all covered with white snow, and it didn't take long for spring to return to the earth, just like this.

I don't know how many years have passed.

I don't know if every tree will spend such a boring life, but I feel that I am gradually withering, the green buds are getting less and less, and the flowers on the branches are withering year after year.

I thought, maybe I'm going to die like this.

Forget it, it's okay to die.

It's better than living in such a deep mountain and continuing to live through the days that I don't know.

Until that day, I met a girl.

What I have seen in my life is limited, either chirping birds and passing beasts, or some rough men who are in a hurry, but I have never seen such a beautiful girl.

She only brought a little maid with her, carrying a medicine box, walked in plain clothes, and stopped right under my tree.

She and the servant girl sat under the tree drinking water to rest and chatting softly.The maid asked something, she listened quietly, and said a few words from time to time.

She didn't wear makeup or hairpins, but I felt that she was noble and indescribably indifferent.In the following thousand years, I have seen countless women of all kinds, some of them overthrow the government and the people, some of them are beautiful and intelligent, but in my heart, none of them can match her appearance at that time.

I couldn't understand most of what she said, but I felt that even her voice was very pleasant, much more beautiful than the most outstanding birds in the mountains and forests.

I just listened and listened so ignorantly.

Too much time has passed, and many details have been blurred. I only remember that she got up at the end, touched my trunk, her eyes were filled with tears, and she sighed: "What a peach tree, why are there insects?"

Then I took some powder from the medicine box and sprinkled it around my roots.

Then, just like when she came, she took the little maid and walked away slowly until I could no longer see her.

I think, to it, I am probably just the most insignificant speck of dust in life, not even the scenery on the side of the road. Maybe after walking out of this forest, she will never remember, once in a barren hill. Here, it is an ordinary peach tree that drives away the pests.

But at this moment, I suddenly had a heart.

She is my chance.

I don’t know if those medicine powders have played a role, and the life that was gradually depleted has returned to my body. I can feel my branches becoming stronger and stronger, and tender green buds are drawn out, and the fine roots are downward. Continuously extending, deeply rooted into the soil, every flowering season, the blooming flower buds on the branches become more dense and vigorous year after year.

There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the days slip by so slowly.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a hundred years.

I have seen wave after wave of people, and more and more people passing by are praising my flower corolla like a cloud. When they stand under the tree, I will always gently rain petals, I hope they can Stay a little longer and bring me news of her.

However I never saw her again.

I only remember the word "Yun" in her name.

I don't know how long it took before I finally turned into a human form.

Looking around, I was at a loss. I just felt that the sky was big and the earth was big, and I didn't know where to go or how to practice.There is only one thought in my mind, which is to find her, and then...

Then first thank her for the kindness of medicine back then, and then, I don't know anymore.

I was alone and could not speak. It was the time of war, and there were dead people everywhere. I stripped off the clothes of the dead, drank the water from the mountains, followed the refugees into the surrounding towns, and imitated them in the homes of the rich. Begging in front of the house, sleeping in the cold and rough corner at night.

I want to find her.

I watched the sickness and death of people around me, their dull eyes and bony bodies, the dirty faces of children, lying on the ground and fighting dogs for food.

I don't feel the slightest bit in my heart.

I think that the only connection I have with this world is probably that girl Yun.

However, I am a tree demon with low spiritual power, and I can't even conjure a pair of decent shoes.My body is in the barren mountain, and I can't leave too far away, otherwise, I will wither and wither until I turn into dust.

Time has passed for a long time, and I have been going around here and there, at a loss.

Even in human form, I'm still not a real human being, and I can't empathize with human beings' joys, sorrows, sorrows, birth, old age, sickness and death.In this world, let him change dynasties and tall buildings rise and fall, I am just a fluff of duckweed, a dispensable spectator.

It was a famine year, and I returned to this Yongyang City again.

I know that a strange disease spread in the city a few days ago, so many doctors came, but they were all helpless. In such a huge Yongyang City, people are in panic, the bustling is no longer, and it looks a little bleak.

On this day, word of mouth in Yongyang City, there was a young girl who claimed to be a descendant of the Valley of Medicine. She had superb medical skills and cured the disease after taking medicine. After taking the medicine, she cured the strange disease in Yongyang City.

My heart suddenly thumped.

It must be her!

I don't know where the self-confidence came from. There is only one thought in my heart, it can't be wrong, it must be her!

I anxiously babbled and gestured back and forth, asked her whereabouts with difficulty, and chased her out of the city. Sure enough, I saw a slender figure, dressed in plain clothes, carrying a wooden medicine box, walking alone.

I caught up with her, so excited that I couldn't get any more excited. For the first time, I hated why I didn't learn to speak well, so I could only froze my tongue and told her over and over again that you are my benefactor, and I have been looking for you for hundreds of years.

A hundred years have passed, and the girl has probably been reincarnated several times, her appearance is completely different from what she remembers, but the noble temperament seems to be imprinted in her bones, written in the corners of her eyes and brows.

She looked at me in surprise, and I became more and more flustered. I only felt that my tongue was clumsy, and I wished I could get into the ground in shame.

She chuckled lightly and said, "You mean, you are a peach demon, and you have been looking for me for a hundred years, just to repay the kindness of a medicine?"

I was ashamed of myself, knowing that my face was dirty, my speech was not sharp, my clothes were ragged, and I looked like a madman.In this troubled world, lunatics like me can be seen everywhere.

But she looked into my eyes and said, "I believe in you."

I was stunned, and at that moment, it seemed that the world had lost its color.
