"Wood spirit evil? Could it be the same thing as the 'ancient forest evil' we are chasing?" Hearing what Ruotao said, Fatty Zeng immediately nodded and said: "Yes, there are also many local indigenous people who are Called that way, they should be the same thing.”
Guan Heng asked: "You two, when you capture the evil spirits, do you intend to eliminate them?"
"Well, you'd better ask Mr. Huai." Fatty Zeng scratched his head and murmured: "He just asked me to help pay attention to the places where evil spirits are infested, and to help capture a few alive, but I didn't expect that he would almost Just risk your own life."
"Oh, Fatty, you are right." Mr. Meng Huai said with a sad face at this time: "If it weren't for Brother Guan and Miss Ruotao saving each other this time, you and I would have died a long time ago. In the end, I am sorry You, little old man, feel guilty."
"Hey, don't say that. I'm just nagging. We are all old friends for many years. You have saved me and helped me. It's nothing to sacrifice your life for you Meng Huai." Fatty Zeng He is outspoken but kind-hearted. Seeing the guilty look on Mr. Meng Huai's face, he felt embarrassed.
At this time, Mr. Meng Huai then shook his head and sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to re-cultivate the 'Pseudo-Wood Demon Spirit Tree Species', I was obsessed to the point of being unable to extricate myself. I wouldn't have harmed your old friend, that's all, now I also lost track of the evil wood spirit, and all hope is lost."
"Pseudo-Wood Demon Spirit Tree Seed?!" Guan Heng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard the name. He said casually: "This kind of thing is very rare. I have only heard of a person who specialized in planting spirit trees. Only the family has owned the pseudo-wood demon spirit tree species."
"Yes, that family is my ancestral family." Elder Meng Huai lost his voice and said: "This matter has always been kept secret. No one has known about it for many years. Brother Guan, please forgive me for asking, are you How did you learn that?”
"Your ancestors?!" Guan Heng said with doubts on his face: "Isn't that right? I remember that the Lingmu-planting family had long since been extinct under the orders of Yu Shun, the co-leader of the Yu Ancient Kingdom. Moreover, they His family name is not Meng, but..."
"It belongs to the An family. My original surname was An, and my name was An Huai. In order to avoid being chased by the iron guards of the Yu Kingdom clan, I changed my surname to Meng." Elder Meng Huai slapped his thigh at this time and was full of joy. Face said excitedly: "Brother Guan, what is the relationship between you and our clan? Why do you know it in such detail?"
"Oh, it turns out you are also a descendant of the An family. That's right."
At this time, Guan Heng recounted a series of things he had experienced in the Gaosuo tribe in the north of Chongguo, as well as how he received five pseudo-wood demon spirit tree seeds as a gift from the patriarch Anjisu. Meng Huai immediately looked shocked.
"What are you talking about?! All members of our An clan, except for Anji Su and his daughter, have been murdered?!"
At this moment, Mr. Meng Huai felt extremely sad. Suddenly, his eyesight turned black, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood. Then he cried loudly: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..com" The position of clan leader was passed on to him, and then I insisted on wandering around and left Qoshan Mountain. Unexpectedly, I failed to fulfill my responsibility to protect the clan members, and let them all, alas! I really deserve to die!"
"Huai Lao, you'd better express your condolences and accept the change." Guan Heng quickly consoled him at this time: "At least Anji Su and the others are still alive, and the blood of the An family has not been completely cut off. You will be able to meet them one day. .”
"Plop!" Mr. Meng Huai suddenly knelt down to Guan Heng and kowtowed: "My benefactor, you took action to save the last flesh and blood relatives of my An family. This kindness and virtue can never be guaranteed by me forever. Please accept my kindness." bye!"
"Don't dare, don't dare, you are too old, don't do this." Seeing this scene, Guan Heng immediately knelt on the ground and forcibly supported Mr. Meng Huai: "Please get up, don't always use the word benefactor." It sounds harsh to my ears, but this is my only request. Please keep it in mind, Mr. Huai."
After hearing this, Mr. Meng Huai was embarrassed to refuse, so he said: "Well, let me call you Brother Guan."
"I really didn't expect that Brother Guan, who saved Huai's relatives, saved us again today. This is really a clever thing, even better." Fatty Zeng laughed at the side and said: "It's a pity that we don't have wine now, otherwise it would be really bad." You should have a drink and celebrate..."
But as soon as these two words were spoken, Fatty Zeng thought that most of Meng Huai Lao's clan members had died, and he immediately swallowed the second half of the sentence.
"Lao Huai, look at the five pseudo-wood demon spirit tree species on this Jumang Sword."
As he spoke, Guan Heng took off the Jumang Sword from his back, and then pulled the sword out of its sheath. At this moment, Meng Huai Lao saw that the sword was wrapped with countless green buds, emitting waves of pleasant fragrance, and five pseudo-wood demon spirits. Tree species are embedded in the sword body, shining with a soft green light.
"Fake wood demon spirit... tree species..."
Elder Meng Huai's eyes were filled with tears at this time, and he said slowly: "Back then, I personally passed these five tree seeds to my brother Anji Su, and told him that if the clan faced a crisis, he would rather sacrifice the lives of the entire clan. We need to protect them from falling into the wrong hands, and then give them to people who can resurrect tree seeds. Unexpectedly, this sentence actually came true."
Having said this, Elder Meng Huai paused for a moment, then continued: "Brother Guan, since you are holding the Jumang Sword and the Pseudo-Wood Demon Spirit Tree is planted in your hands, sooner or later there will be a day when the An family will be resurrected and sprout. My long-cherished wish came true all thanks to you, I am once again grateful."
"Okay, Huai Lao, I told Chief An back then, 'Your Haohao Clan's wish for the wood demon spirit to be reborn will definitely come true. I will do my best to help with this matter, so you can rest assured.' This I will tell you exactly what I said today."
At this time, Guan Heng vowed: "I will never break my promise."
"Thank you. In that case...well, it's okay not to say anything." Seeing Meng Huai Lao wanted to say it but was hesitant, Guan Heng immediately asked: "Huai Lao, what is it? Just tell me It’s okay.”
"Actually, what I want to say is directly related to those evil wood spirits." Elder Meng Huai said slowly at this time: "For so many years, I have been wandering around, looking for ancient places that can give birth to wood spirit monsters. In the woods, if we transplant pseudo-wood demon spirit seeds there, maybe they will have hope of rebirth."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. Meng Huai raised his head and looked at the starry sky, and sighed again and said: "It's a pity that since the evil suddenly broke out between heaven and earth more than ten years ago, and all things in the world were contaminated with evil, the reborn trees The demon spirit disappeared, but what was reborn was that kind of monster—the evil wood spirit!"
Hearing this, Ruotao asked casually: "Are the evil wood spirits related to the wood demon spirits?"
"Of course they are related." Mr. Meng Huai replied at this time: "Actually, there is no essential difference between the two."
