Otherworldly Merchant

When I saw this old man at his age, I should have known some secret history. His tone softened a lot: “Old man, has this tree god ever been powerful? ”

The old man glanced at me and nodded for a while: “When I was very young, the village decided to open mountain fields in order to promote production. The young men went up the mountain and cut it all the way to the tree god. As a result, they cut only two axes and discolored the heavens and the earth, and none of them came back up the mountain. Later, I heard the old people in the village say that Master Tree God was spiritual and guarded the land for thousands of years. If you respect it, it protects you, and if you offend it, it will wash all the land around you. If not, then there was a series of accidents in the village, and someone disappeared unexpectedly, and the next day was found hanging from a tree. People were frightened, spontaneously took the sacrifices to the tree gods, gradually the village restored the calm of the past, and the annual food harvest was huge, nothing happened again. ”

The old man said here, pointing to the mountain: “The trees were cut like that, what you see now is long afterwards. Alas! How can humans care about a bunch of trees when they only value their own interests? ”

The old man sighed a long time.

To keep them out of trouble, I let Fatty and Big Sue stare at them and stick to them until the next morning, Black Heart Monk took us up the mountain. This time Dasu drove a ditch digger, and followed the people of Xiaolin Village. They were also curious and worried.

After reaching the waist of the mountain, Blackheart Monk checked the tree demons, found nothing unusual and sat down and buried these dead souls beneath the Super Demon.

So easy to get to noon, Dasu started digging up with the ditch digger on.

Unlike the shovel, the trench digger inevitably needs to destroy the root of the tree. The tree demon made an awesome and unwilling hiss. The people of Xiaolin Village hurriedly knelt down and begged for forgiveness. They also pointed to Su and shouted: "You have offended the tree god Master is going to die without a burial place, stop! ”

Dae-su was deaf, but his eyes firmly said: "Death is death, death is also going to solve this scourge! ”

I exchanged my eyes with Fatty, and they all saw a reborn firmness in Dae-su's eyes. Fatty jumped on the ditch digger: "Brother, die together! ”

I'm starting to doubt their relationship again.

With the help of a trench digger, we quickly dug out a huge deep pit, and then me and the T-shirt guy jumped into the pit and dug it with a shovel, and not only did that tablet show up, but we dug out a little temple behind the tablet.

The temple is well maintained because it is buried underground. Although small, it is all made of stone. The style should have been old, like from the years of Beiwei.

Black-hearted monks also jumped and watched carefully in front of the tablet. After only two lines, his face changed dramatically and he knelt on his knees.

I couldn't figure out my face with the T-shirt man until the black monk saw it before climbing into the pit with him.

"“ I finally know where the demons are coming from, "said the Black Heart Monk. ”

He exclaimed with dismay: "The stone tablet was clearly written on it. It turns out that the Dharma Master Dongdu was willing to travel through China's thousands of mountains of water, taste the folk suffering, first become a monk of suffering, then become a Buddha. When he walked to Xiaolin Village, he saw the ground covered with scorched earth, the people were dying, and here he set up a pocket temple a metre wide, and inserted his decades-long crutches into the soil, begging Buddha to pity the people. The next moment, it rained heavily, and the crutches sprouted and grew into big trees. It also became a forest, blessing Xiaolin Village. The ancestors of Kobayashi Village erected stone tablets to commemorate the ancestors of Damo, describing the history of the temple. ”

“Later, the years changed, the temple gradually buried under the soil, and the tree was getting bigger and bigger, and with time, it became a demon, which cost the grandmaster a lot of hard work...”

The people of Kobayashi Village were surprised when they heard each other's faces.

"Amitabha Buddha! Originally tree demons and Kobayashi villages coexisted peacefully, but human greed for nature was unlimited. For money, the mountains had to be erased, and for development, deforestation had led to tragedy. ”

The T-shirt man asked nervously, "What now? ”

“Now that the tree has become a demon, it must be eliminated, otherwise it will always be a scourge.” Blackhearted monk summoned the big black bear again, his side ears listened to the big black bear's mouth for a while before he opened his mouth: “Dad told me that the five lines, the fire energy grams, simply set fire to the whole forest to prevent innocent people from being killed again. ”

The people shouted in panic, "No! This is a precious legacy left to Kobayashi Village by Master Damo. You can't just burn it! ”

Black-hearted monk frowned, like the mighty Buddhist King Kong, not proud to say: “What else should I do, keep it and continue to hurt people? How many skeletons are underneath its root stem? Do you know how many people it killed? Do you still want the children and grandchildren of Kobayashi Village to live under its threat? ”

The people of Kobayashi Village shut their mouths.

Big Sue and Fatty brought the gasoline, and we drizzled over the tree demon and lit the fire. In the midst of the fire, we heard tree demons cry out loud and clear.

The fire burned until the next day, and pounds of rain broke out near the evening. The rain quickly put out the fire, but the greenery of the mountain was gone, leaving only a piece of rubble and coke.

I stood in the shed and watched the hill sigh.

The black monk who was eating the chicken's ass came together and said, "What, pity it? ”

“After all, it's human greed that makes us human beings think we're at the top of the food chain. In fact, in front of nature, we're still too small...” I sigh.

Blackhearted monk laughed: “That's very enlightening. How about that? Do you want to break into the open door and be my disciple? ”

“Ah?” I was surprised.

Big Sue is feeling emotional with Fatty. After all this, he has decided to give up the idea of developing this place and even prepare to buy and sell hotels with Fatty and no longer be an engineering owner. I was very interested in hearing about the way the hotel was run and the way it was done.

The next morning I woke up and walked slowly to the hill before leaving, and came to the waist of the hill to discover that the tree demon had been destroyed, and it was very uncomfortable that it was empty.

Soon the villagers of Xiaolin Village also came to the mountains. Although the master of the tree god in their hearts was no longer there, they brought many fruits to celebrate.

I watched for a moment and was about to leave before realizing that the Black Heart monk didn't know when to ride the Black Bear to the mountain.

He looked down at me and pulled me forward, pointing to the ground full of coke and laughing: "Look! ”

I was stunned to discover that a green bud grew beneath the ruins of the great tree. In the self-redemption of mankind, the tree god was reborn...
