At that moment, I could only muster up the courage to ask angrily at the afterimage that floated in: "Who are you, why did you come to my room in the middle of the night!" ”

The afterimage didn't speak, just waved at me, and suddenly a smell of flowers wafted over, and then I felt the sky spinning in my mind, and the whole person fluttered and didn't know where to go.

This situation lasted for about a minute, and I felt that the light in front of me suddenly brightened, and I immediately realized that I was already on a small mountain bag.

The whole mountain is full of white apricot blossoms, and the warm breeze of early spring blows, and the slightly smoky fragrance makes people unconsciously intoxicated.

"This ...... Where is this? I dared to ask.

However, no one answered me, and there seemed to be no other living thing on the whole hill except the almond trees.

For this reason, I had to be brave enough to go forward.

After walking about fifty meters, a large clearing appeared in front of me, and the whole forest suddenly became clear.

In the center of the clearing will stand a sturdy apricot tree, with its bewitching posture and branches, and dotted with small white flowers, the whole tree gives people the feeling of ethereal and unearthly.

Wow, what a beautiful almond tree!

I excitedly ran to the apricot tree and stretched out my slender arm to caress the trunk of the apricot tree.

The moment my fingers touched the bark, suddenly the bark clicked on my chest, and the two pieces of bark automatically moved sideways, revealing two human eyes from the tree, which frightened me to withdraw my arms on the spot, and the whole human body trembled and retreated.

You're finally here!

A long, low voice rang out of my ears.

Who are you?

I mustered up the courage to question loudly, and my eyes were fixed on the tree in case anything else might happen.

The two eyes on the tree blinked, and then a voice sounded from the middle of the tree: "Don't be afraid, young man, I won't harm you." ”

"You...... You are a tree...... Dryad! ”

Hehe.

The big tree smiled softly and responded: "I'm not a tree demon, I was originally an apricot immortal who cultivated on this hill, and I have survived in this apricot blossom mountain for nearly four hundred years. ”

"Then you cultivate your immortals, why did you bring me here?"

I looked at the eyes of the apricot tree in confusion, but the fear in my heart had been alleviated a lot, because I seemed to see some peaceful aura in him, which was enough to show that he would not have any ill will towards me.

Alas......

The apricot tree sighed and said, "I'm here to ask you for help!" ”

"You are an apricot fairy, I am a mortal, where can I have the ability to help you!"

As soon as I heard that he was asking for me, my first thought was to refuse, after all, the task at hand was already too much for me to kick down.

Xiao Fufu's ghost has not yet been reincarnated, and the spirit of Xiao Huangpizi has not found a suitable host.

In addition, there is a traitor like Lao Chen in the way of the company, and there are people from the Star Demon Sect in the shadows.

I feel like I can't do anything for myself, and even if I want to help others, it's a lack of skills.

Xingshu ignored my refusal, but continued to say calmly: "You are born with a child's life, a physique that has been rare for hundreds of years, and I really have no other way than to ask you and the girl next to you for help." ”

The girl next to me?

"You mean Long Xueyan?" I asked curiously.

"That's right, it's the girl who goes to work with you during the day!" Apricot Tree replied seriously.

Yes!

I exclaimed, "Are you the old woman who came out to remind us during the day?" ”

Hehe.

Xingshu smiled shyly: "That's right, the old woman you met today was conjured up by me." ”

"But because I'm an apricot tree spirit, I can't transform into a human form for a long time like an animal."

"Once we are away from our true body for too long, our mana will gradually disappear."

"So I can only ask for help from you, a man who was born a child."

I nodded as if I didn't understand, and asked curiously, "Old woman, what do you want us to help you with?" ”

Xingshu squinted at the surrounding hillside with his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Do you think this hillside feels familiar?" ”

Familiar?

I turned around and glanced around at the hillside, which did look a little familiar, and then said in a tone of uncertainty: "Is this hillside the small hillside at the end of the road?" ”

That's right, it's this hillside!

Apricot Tree continued: "This was originally a beautiful mountain of apricot blossoms, and many apricot trees were planted on the mountain. ”

"But because of the recent development of urban construction, some people have bought this place and developed it into real estate, and the apricot trees on the mountain have been cut down."

"Since I have already cultivated the Tao, so I have the magic power in my body, they tried to cut down the tree again and again, but I couldn't, and then a feng shui master came to help the real estate developer look at the feng shui, he said that the apricot tree is good for feng shui, and can even protect the real estate, so the developer kept me."

"Originally, now, I have already accepted my fate, after all, our plants are congenitally insufficient, and we can't cultivate like animals, we can transform at will, and walking everywhere will not affect the true element."

"Since I can't change the status quo, I can only stay quietly on this construction site, and by the way, I can use my spare strength to protect these fortunate workers."

"But the trees want to be still, and the wind doesn't stop."

"Just half a month ago, the bald man and an old witch who appeared last night suddenly sneaked into the construction site with a bag of things, and then buried the bag in my roots."

"I originally wanted to show up to teach them, but the old witch obviously knew that I had already cultivated to the essence, so she put a rune paper on me so that I couldn't conjure it."

"After they completely buried the sack they carried into my roots, my mana was instantly imprisoned by them, so I concluded that the sack should contain some evil things that restrained me."

"So I can only hide quietly in the trees and watch them do whatever they want."

"How's it going?" I can't wait to ask.

Alas......

Xingshu sighed heavily and responded: "After they sealed me, they ran to the southeast corner of the construction site to bury a small bag of things, and then the old witch did it for a while, and the two of them left sneakily. ”

"But the day after they arrived, there were a series of accidents on the construction site, and every time the workers were about to build the tenth floor, there would be fatalities."

"So far, two migrant workers have been killed, and one migrant worker has been hospitalized, all thanks to the bald man and another old witch tonight!"
