Non-Human Sub-district Office

Lin Mu took out some of Dixiu's materials, checked the time, and stood on the platform to look through them without rushing down.

As soon as he flipped through it, he saw a slightly familiar picture.

It was a picture scroll, and on the picture scroll was a big blue tree, which was lush and covered the sky and the sun.

The knotted roots and clusters of horizontally growing branches are very similar to black pine. In the valley where lush flowers and green grass stretch, there are some strange beasts squatting or lying, sleeping on their backs, and most of the trees are unknown.

A clear mountain spring flows in the valley, winding down from the mountain peaks behind, which is very similar to the vague dream that still remains in his memory.

The trees can even hear the ding-dong of the mountain spring and the chirping of birds.

It's a bit clearer than what I saw in my dream.

There are very few materials on Dixiu, to the point that only one or two sentences are mentioned in each booklet.

Most of them are mentioned when talking about a certain event or a certain monster.

The content mentioned is usually fruit.

The more popular name of Dixiu is the worry-free tree.

The leaves are somewhat like poplar leaves, and the branches and leaves are stretched in five directions. The flowers are bright yellow, but the fruits they bear are heavy and dark.

The fruit at home is Dixiu's fruit, which can make people forget their sorrows after eating, and is priceless among monsters.

The number of fruits is extremely small, and they are all monopolized by several forces.

As a result, ordinary monsters and creatures could only squat outside the valley, piously and humblely begging Dixiu inside to kindly grant them some good news.

All living beings are suffering, and they all look forward to being able to forget their sorrows.

Even if you can't get the fruit, it is an extremely difficult fate to be able to temporarily abandon troubles and enjoy peace and happiness after being caressed by Dixiu's power for a while.

What's more, Dixiu Fruit is far more than just a simple effect of making people forget their worries.

For monsters, a series of problems that may cause serious consequences, such as being confused, going crazy, killing too much, etc., can all be solved with Dixiu Fruit.

Lin Mu searched for a long time and did not find any relevant content about Dixiu becoming a spirit, but only found a few forces that have been monitoring and controlling the valley.

The valley is in a mountain range called Kushan in the middle of the Great Wilderness, and is strictly controlled by several forces to prevent other monsters from entering.

Occasionally, a big monster would step into the valley to stay for a while, because it was not only the Tixiu fruit that had a soothing effect, but also the tree itself.

But where Dixiu was, the vegetation was lush and there was no fight, and even the most precious elixir could grow wantonly.

Lin Mu looked at the records of that valley, and it was written: Dixiu grew very well under the care of several big monsters, and was not destroyed or refined like other ancient strange trees. Until 30 years ago, Dixiu's entire tree disappeared mysteriously, but those big monsters who often went in and out of the valley were not furious, but simply blocked the news, as if nothing happened.

After that, there was no news of Dixiu.

Lin Mu turned over and over, but he still couldn't find the content of Dixiu's becoming a spirit, let alone the appearance of Dixiu after becoming a spirit.

If it wasn't for seeing Dixiu's own tree in the first photo, and the fruit that was looted wildly in the records, Lin Mu wouldn't even dare to recognize his father as Dixiu.

Lin Mu looked through some of the remaining materials and found that there was indeed no relevant content.

However, Lin Mu could guess where Dixiu went after he disappeared from the Great Wilderness 30 years ago. He probably arrived in the Central Plains, where his mother found her in the deep mountains, and then met her.

As for how it came about and when it became a spirit, Lin Mu didn't know anything.

Maybe some big monsters who often go in and out of the valley will know, but Lin Shu doesn't know any of those big monsters.

There is only one of them who is slightly familiar, Yan Xuanjing's father, Yan Gui, the nine-tailed fox, the current ruler of Qingqiu Kingdom.

It's a pity that Lin Mu has never seen that super good-looking vixen since that first glimpse.

But the payoff is big.

Lin Mu turned over the scroll at the beginning, looked at the lush trees above, and then looked down at himself.

Anyway, I understand what I am.

Looking at it this way, the other half's blood is not small.

Lin Mu thought, no wonder his mother kept silent and didn't mention his father.

Judging from the fact that his father has to be covered by several big monsters to protect him, it is the most appropriate way to keep his mouth shut about his blood.

As for the fruit left behind, Lin Mu had a bad guess.

Fruits are used to make people forget their sorrows.

The father gave the fruit to the mother. It should be because he knew that the mother had unforgettable melancholy, and at the same time he could not accompany her to take care of her, so he gave the mother this fruit that is very easy to snatch, hoping that she can eat it and forget about it. sad.

What unforgettable sorrows can mother have.

She doesn't care about her grandfather who oppresses her, nor about money, and she can have a lot of silly fun every day by planting a potted plant.

All Lin Mu could think of about her mother's sorrow was her reddish eyes every time she opened the photo album.

Lin Mu was silent for a long time, unwilling to think about it any more. He closed the file, thanked the ghosts in the reference room, put the file back on the shelf, took out his phone while going downstairs, and sent a message to his mother's teacher. The news passed.

He wants to get the project his mother participated in before returning, and if he has a chance, maybe he can look for it.

Who can tell what will happen next.

Lin Mu sent the message, put away his phone, and opened the door of the stairwell.

Downstairs, Dahei has already arrived, and now he has changed back to his original form and is lying on the ground into a ball, motionless.

Lin Mu walked up to him and knelt down: "What are you doing?"

"Autistic." Dahei said in a muffled voice.

Lin Mu looked at the clumps of dogs: "What are you autistic?"

"The old lady's family has started to issue an obituary, and they are preparing the funeral invitations, which is not for me." Dahei said a little aggrieved, he looked up at Lin Shu, then stuck for two seconds, then poked his head over and sniffed, "What are you doing?" What's the matter? The evil spirit suddenly rose sharply, and it smells good."

"Ah?" Lin Mu looked down at his hands, then sniffed again, "I can't feel it."

"Of course you can't feel it when you're new to this place." After Dahei finished speaking, he couldn't help getting closer, sniffing hard, and then his mind froze, and he collapsed limply.

It was an extremely comfortable feeling, like lying lazily in the warm sunshine under the soft blanket.

There is the fragrance of green grass and flowers, the rustling sound of the wind passing through the treetops, the sound of ring pendants in the distance, the clear flowing water, and the faint sound of silk and bamboo music, accompanied by wonderful singing. Distant with the wind over.

This taste is so comfortable and wonderful that the dog can't help but want to turn his belly out and embrace this wonderful world with the softest and most fragile place.

This feeling came too abruptly and ferociously, Dahei was very close to the forest, and this breath covered his head and face, causing Dahei to fall limply on the ground, squinting his eyes slightly, and the word cool was written on every hair on the whole dog's body, Even turned out the belly.

It looks like a cat that is high on catnip, looking so happy that it ascends to heaven.

This looks a bit familiar.

It was like the strange beast lying sprawled under the shade of the Dixiu tree in the picture scroll that Lin Mu saw.

——It’s really no different from a cat that gets high on catnip.

Dahei lay on the ground, feeling refreshed, all his autism, troubles, and sorrows disappeared completely, his mood was clear, and the world was beautiful.

But his reason was still there, and he asked lazily, "Did something happen to you?"

"Well, I figured out my bloodline." Lin Mu said.

Dahei became interested: "Oh? What is it?"

Lin Mu shook his head.

Dahei understood, probably some kind of blood that is not suitable to be mentioned.

There are many bloodlines that need to be kept secret, just like ginseng dolls always need to hide and hide. The existence of many monsters will attract plunder and killing, so it is normal to keep secrets.

Dahei didn't mind either, and yawned comfortably under the influence of the clear and evil spirit of the forest. Seeing that it was time to officially go to work, he was about to transform back into a human form when he was knocked on the door interrupted.

Dahei raised his head and sniffed lightly: "The smell of humans."

Lin Mu nodded and turned to open the door.

Outside the door was a middle-aged man with a little white hair, wearing a black suit, his hair well-styled, very gentle and elegant, he smiled at Lin Mu and asked, "Hello, is Mr. Dahei there? "

With the lessons learned from the woman yesterday, Lin Mu also realized that some humans are very aware of the existence of monsters.

He nodded and let the door open: "Yes."

The middle-aged man stepped into the office, looked around but didn't see the person he was looking for, and finally met the big black dog lying on the ground.

The smile on his face stagnated, showing a somewhat shocked expression, and even his voice was raised, a little distorted: "Dahei?!"

The big black dog barked, but did not speak.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a long time, let out a long breath, turned his head to look at Lin Mu, and said hesitantly: "My mother passed away the day before yesterday, and she came to my dream last night, telling me to come here to find Dahei, take care Thank him for...it."

Lin Mu blinked, realizing that the person in front of him might be the son of the old lady who saved Dahei.

No wonder Dahei stopped talking.

"For us, this is the only big black." Lin Mu said.

"..." The middle-aged man was silent for a while, then glanced at Dahei again, sighed in a daze for a while, and said, "My mother is going to have a funeral this afternoon."

Lin Mu looked at Dahei.

Dahei yelled at him, turned his head and took out the leash from the cabinet, and shook it at the tail of the tree like an electric fan.

"..."

Lin Mu closed the door, feeling guilty about skipping work, led the dog, and followed the middle-aged man to their home.

There were quite a few people who came to see the old lady off for the last time, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

Lin Mu stood at the door, handed the leash to the old lady's son, and stood outside the door himself, not going in.

He still doesn't like this kind of scene of life and death, it always reminds him of his mother who was alone when he left.

Lin Mu found a flower bed outside and sat down. After a while, he heard someone calling him.

He turned around and saw an old man with gray hair walking towards him. It was the mentor who he had just sent a message to ask about the project his mother participated in.

He is also an old man who often takes care of his business. He is a very nice person.

"Teacher Tan?" Lin Mu stood up, "Why are you here?"

"The old lady who is leaving is my classmate." The old man said, holding Lin Mu's hand and walking to the side, "It happens that I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Lin Mu asked.

"Aren't you good at tending flowers and plants?" The old man patted Lin Mu's head, "I'll introduce you to a big client."

While the old and the young were talking, they walked to the door of the house, and there stood a tall man in a suit and leather shoes, with one hand in his pocket, smoking a cigarette, his eyes slightly lowered as if in a daze.

The old man strode over with the tree and said, "The hut—this is the tree I told you about."

Lin Mu was patted on the back by the old man, and couldn't help straightening his back.

The man who was called turned his head slightly to look over, his expression was condensed, with an undisguised murderous look and ferocity.

Lin Mu froze, and almost immediately noticed the abnormality of the man's breath, and took a step back vigilantly, ready to run away at any time.

The moment the man's eyes touched the trees, he narrowed his eyes, looked at him carefully, and then extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

The old man introduced this man to Lin Mu: "This is the emperor's house, I'll go inside and you can talk slowly."

The man nodded, and waited until the old man walked away before saying, "Half-demon?"

This voice was icy, completely different from Yan Xuanjing's coldness, just listening to the voice was like a blood-stained knife tip with a bit of biting chill piercing into the listener's brain, making Lin Mujing I couldn't help shivering.

The man moved a little closer, raised his hand and clasped the shoulder of Lin Mu who was about to run, sniffed lightly, and raised his eyebrows: "Dixiu?"

The author has something to say: Diwu: Thirty miles to the north, it is called Jiaoshan... There is a tree, named Diwu, with leaves shaped like peppers, which can ward off evil.

He came from the same village as Dixiu! [rub hands
