A devil's self-redemption

Luo Lai felt like he was about to crack, a real crack. It was as if an iron rod had been forced into his brain, and then it was stirred wildly inside, and he would be hit twice from time to time. A splitting headache was how he described his current situation. The most appropriate word for the state.

He rubbed his head that didn't seem to be his own, and got up from the bed with difficulty. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. He only remembered a flash of white light, and then he didn't know anything anymore.

Sitting on the bed, trying hard to recall what happened before the coma. It seemed like it was watching something inappropriate for children? Stone statue?

By the way, it’s a stone statue! Luo Lai looked around and found no trace of the stone statue. He probably guessed what happened.

The stone statue must have gotten into his mind. Could it be that he was plotted? That's not a stone statue at all, but some old monster, or the soul of an old monster, trying to take away his body? Or maybe he has activated the golden finger, and a certain old man with a white beard wants to work hard and be a guardian? Speaking of which, given his life experience, it would make sense for him to have a bloody plot like traveling six years before opening the Golden Finger!

Luo Lai thought of many possibilities, and he tried to say, "Grandpa? Senior? Are you there?" After waiting for a long time, he did not get a response. He didn't know whether he was asleep or not.

At this time, his headache had been relieved a lot, so he stumbled and sat down at the stone table, looking at the soft candlelight, his thoughts flying.

What on earth is that stone statue? Why do you want to get into his head? He still didn't know that it was the light beam between his eyebrows that forced the stone statue into his mind.

"Boy, what are you doing?" A sudden voice came, startling Luo Lai.

He looked around and saw no one.

"Where are you looking? Here, by the window." The voice sounded again, quite childish.

He looked towards the only window of the stone house and saw a vase on the windowsill with a branch in the vase, which looked familiar.

Luo Lai walked over cautiously. To be honest, since he stepped into the stone house, everything that happened was beyond his expectation and he couldn't help but be careless.

"It's me. Your tree uncle is right in front of you, can't you see?" Luo Lai was sure that the source of the voice this time was indeed this branch or the vase.

"Are you talking?" He looked at the branches and expressed his doubts.

"Nonsense, besides me, is there anything else here?" The voice was childish and arrogant, easily reminiscent of some impolite children!

"You are really good at talking, so awesome!" To deal with such a person or a tree branch, nothing more than a compliment is enough!

"Humph! Of course, it doesn't matter who I am. I am Uncle Shu, so what do you say? I know a lot of things!" Sure enough, when the proud voice sounded, he was already full of pride.

Of course, Luo Lai would not let go of this opportunity to answer his questions and quickly asked, "Uncle Shu, what is this place?"

"House! Are you a fool to ask me questions in the house?"

Luo Lai didn't pay attention to the little kid's trash talk and continued to ask: "Whose house is this? Why does it look weird?"

"What's weird? It's been like this for thousands of years, hasn't it?" came the strange voice from the branch.

"Hiss!" Luo Lai secretly took a breath. According to Uncle Tree, it has been here for thousands of years?

"Uncle Shu, how long have you been here?" Luo Lai couldn't help but use honorifics when asking. He was really shocked.

"I've been here since the beginning of existence. Is there any problem?" The childish voice once again said something that shocked Luo Lai?

Qiling Secret Realm should have been established together with Anxiong City more than 5,000 years ago! Mireya seemed to have introduced him like this.

"Then you have lived for more than five thousand years?" he asked in shock.

"I don't know, but it should be longer than five thousand years. People started coming here after I was here for thousands of years. From now on, people seem to come in every year." The branches swayed twice in the windless time.

Luo Lai was stunned. The amount of information in this sentence was too great, and he couldn't digest it for a while. He knew that this branch was not simple. After all, a branch that could talk must be very ancient, but he did not expect that the branch was so ancient.

The meaning of the branch is that it is older than the existence of the Qiling Secret Realm. It is so long ago that it took thousands of years for the Qiling Secret Realm to begin to open. It is indeed an existence like an old monster.

"By the way, who are you? You look like a human, but there's something different about you. It's strange!" Zhi Zhi expressed doubts.

"I am a half-demon, my mother is a human, and my father is a demon." Luo Lai digested the information from the branch before answering.

Zhi Zhi said with some doubts: "I know the human race, but what are the demons?"

"Just talk, why are you still cursing?" Luo Lai expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Why did I curse?" Zhi Zhi became even more confused.

"What do you mean by demons? Isn't it a curse?" Luo Lai looked down upon this tree who dared to do something but dared not admit it!

"I mean, I don't know what the demons are. I have never heard of the existence of the demons!" Branch corrected himself.

These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Luo Lai was stunned! what happened? A being as old as Branch doesn't know about the existence of demons? When was the demon clan born?

Luo Lai didn't believe it, and said with a stiff expression: "Don't be joking, haven't demons always existed?"

"Impossible. Before I came in, I was all over the world. If the demon clan has always existed, how could I not have heard of it? It must have only appeared after I came in." Zhi Zhi was very surprised that the little fat man in front of him dared to question him. of anger and dissatisfaction.

After Luo Lai was silent for a moment, he accepted this fact. After all, he was a young man who grew up in a new society and was relatively receptive to new things.

"What kind of existence are you, Uncle Shu?" He pointed to the core of the problem.

"My existence is indescribable! You know there will be great terror in the future!" Zhi said a little proudly, but also a little inexplicably.

Luo Lai hated this kind of showy thing, so he grabbed the vase. Unexpectedly, the vase started to tremble on its own, accompanied by the hysterical shouting of the branches: "What do you want to do? You have to use your dirty mortal power." Do you want to touch the great ancestral tree with your hands? Go away and don't touch me."

The sudden shout startled Luo Lai.

"Then tell me who you are, or I will take you back and burn you as firewood!" Luo Lai naturally would not let him go and threatened.

"you this…"

Before the branch could say anything, Luo Lai made a move to catch him. The frightened branch quickly changed his words: "Stop, stop, stop... why are you so irritable? I didn't tell you before I told you! I am the first tree at the birth of this world. People They all call me the ancestral tree! How about it, I’m so powerful, a small human being, why don’t you just bow down and worship me?”

Listening to the rising sound, Luo Lai immediately grabbed the vase and picked it up amidst the frightening screams of the branches.

The vase was cyan, with complicated patterns carved on the surface. He didn't know what the carvings were, but when he wanted to pull out the branch, he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

At this time, the branch no longer screamed, as if it had lost its energy, and said in a dull voice: "It's over, I'm not pure anymore, I was touched by a mortal, I will never have the face to see anyone in the future, wow... ..Ah..." Then he cried loudly.

"Okay, don't cry. I'll pick it up. Since you can't change anything, you might as well try to adapt!" Luo Lai was annoyed by the barking of the branch and began to pour poisonous chicken soup into him.

"Huh? It seems to make sense." Zhi stopped crying and was a little confused.

Luo Lai felt that it was not very smart and asked: "Uncle Shu, you obviously only have such a small branch, why is it so heavy that I can't pull it out?"

"You can't pull me out even if you practice for a thousand years. In this bottle, as long as I don't want to come out, no one can pull me out, not even those powerful bad guys. "Twigs said in a whisper.

It seems that not only the branch is extraordinary, but the bottle may also be a rare treasure. Luo Lai thought for a moment, and seeing that the branch was not very smart, he asked with bright eyes: "Uncle Tree, do you want to go out?"

"No, it's dangerous outside. Many people want to take me for themselves. They are all bad people. I'm already like this. Many people still refuse to let me go. I finally found such a good place, so I don't want to go out. Yes!" Zhi refused simply.

"It's been so long now, no one will remember you, and all those bad guys in the past may be dead." Luo Lai continued to be tempting.

"They won't die even if you die. Several of them have already achieved immortality. Hmph! The nerds also told me that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil. Those people have done so many bad things, but there is no retribution. What!" Zhi Zhi's tone was a bit indignant.

Luo Lai was already numb. In such a short period of time, he had heard many secrets. This branch was too old. Just a few words would be a huge secret. Even the head of the Luo family might not be qualified to know.

"Who is the nerd?" Luo Lai asked curiously.

"A nerd is a nerd, but he is different from others. He is a good person. When others wanted to split me open, he was the one who persuaded them to let go of me. When those people didn't listen, the nerd gave me a hard lesson. , Hahaha, it’s so refreshing!” The branch was obviously very friendly to the nerd in his mouth.

"Then where did he go?" Luo Lai continued to ask.

"I don't know. When I first entered here, he came to me and told me to wait for someone, and then he went out." Zhi replied with some disappointment.

"Who are you waiting for?" Luo Lei suddenly became interested. He was a person who lived thousands of years ago.

"Of course he is a good person. The nerd said that person can help me recover my true form. When the time comes, my strength will be restored, and I won't have to be afraid of those bad guys." Zhi said matter-of-factly.

"..."

Is he a good person who helps you recover your true self? You are so realistic. Luo Lai complained secretly, but he still asked: "I mean, how can you tell who is the person you are waiting for?"

The branch seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while he said: "The nerd left a line. If anyone can understand it, then that person is the person I want to wait for."

Luo Lai was shocked and said excitedly: "Where is that line of writing? Can I see it?"

"Ah, yes, where is it?" came the confused voice of the branch.

Luo Lai was confused, what happened? It’s been too long. Your old tree has developed Alzheimer’s disease?

"Uncle Shu, think about it carefully, this is a major matter that affects whether you can recover!"

Being frightened by Luo Lai, the branch seemed to be a little anxious: "Yes, that is an important thing, but why can't I remember it, wow...I forgot, wow..." As he said it, he was immature. The cry came again.

Luo Lai could only comfort him: "Don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly, you must have placed such an important thing where you think it is the safest, right? Think about it, where do you think it is the safest?" Luo Lai Follow the lead and be good at it.

"Well, where is the safest place I think? Where is it...ah! I remembered it." The voice was choked at first, but soon became excited.

"Where is it?" Luo Lai also became excited.

"Under the ditch." The branch said loudly.

"Where? What kind of ditch? Where is the ditch here?" Luo Lai looked around and saw that there was no ditch anywhere on the very flat ground!

"Gouzi! Gouzi! Don't you know Gouzi? Gouzi is the butt!" Zhi said contemptuously!

"Holy shit, are you still a tree from Shaanxi?" Luo Lai was shocked, and then he realized that Gouzi is the Shaanxi dialect, which means butt!

"What Shaanxi? What Xi? The nerd told me. He said this is what an elegant person says. I am also an elegant tree." The branch said proudly.

Luo Lai was shocked. That nerd could actually speak Shaanxi dialect? Is he also a time traveler? Damn it...

His mind was a little confused. It had been six years since he traveled back in time. After spending the first period of curiosity and excitement, he was homesick all the time for the rest of the time. He wanted to go home, but it couldn't be that easy. He didn't expect to be here today. I met a kindred spirit.

"Where is it? Where is that sentence? Take it out and show it to me." Luo Lai said incoherently.

"Why should I show you? Who are you? Tsk!"

Feeling the contempt of the branch, Luo Lai could only say: "What if I am the one you want to wait for? If you miss this time, you will never recover."

Zhi Zhi's even more contemptuous words came: "You are just a mortal? You are worthy of it. Even if you practice like this for 10,000 years, you can't help me recover."

"In case, I mean just in case. It's better to kill the wrong person than let it go!" Luo Lai didn't know what he was talking about. His mind was in chaos now. He just wanted to see the words left by that nerd as soon as possible. .

Who would have thought that after hearing his words, the branch fell silent and didn't speak for a long time. Just when Luo Lai thought it didn't want to care about him, the branch spoke again, but this time the tone was a little low, a little depressed, and a little excited.

"Why did you say this?"
