Peach wood

There are fewer and fewer living things in the Niangniang Temple, the birds and demons are completely extinct, large groups of black clouds accumulate over the temple, the resplendent glazed tiles are dimmed, the white walls are stained with blood, and the fairy air turns into ghosts in a blink of an eye. Furious.

There were still nearly a hundred people left in the city, and they felt fearful when they saw this scene, and they also began to close their doors, there was no one around, and it was very quiet.

Even if they wanted to go, they couldn't go anymore. They missed the best time to get out of the city.

It has been four days since the first batch of residents left. In just four days, strange vines have grown rapidly on the city gate. Today, they have blocked the door opening, and the city wall is covered with trees and vines, making it difficult to cross. , Cars and horses can't get through, people and animals can't get through, even birds can't get through, it's really an iron wall.

A chickadee came out of the forest, curiously wanting to stand on the city wall, it flapped its wings and flew towards this side, staggering, just waiting to gain a firm foothold on the wall - all this is perfectly normal; however No one could have imagined that as soon as it approached the wall, a tree vine suddenly sprang out from behind, and penetrated into its body like lightning.The bird's thin body was sucked dry in the blink of an eye, leaving only a thin layer of skin, without bones or flesh.

The way Tao Hua Niang Niang eats is really disgusting, Shu Huai turned her head, not wanting to look there again.

Meng Li didn't care about all this, he didn't care about it, he seemed to be isolated from the world, and he couldn't receive outside information.He sat in the studio day and night, drawing the peach blossoms and beauties in his heart on paper.

Shuhuai thought that he had been given some kind of ecstasy soup, observed for a while, but couldn't see the problem, so he let him continue painting—hope he wasn't so stupid as to go to Niangniang Temple to find his dream lover.

"It's this time, why are you still staring at her?" Just as Shu Huai was thinking that Meng Li must never go to the Niangniang Temple, when he turned his head and saw the wolf cub was about to go out, he quickly chased after him and grabbed Mo Yun's hand. sleeves.

The demon king looked at the studio through the window, saw that Meng Li was still painting, and saw that the door of Qingguang's room was closed, so he grabbed the book by his arms and led him out of the door.

There was not a single person left on the street, only a few fallen leaves fluttered up and down with the wind.Even though the summer hadn't passed yet, the place showed a dilapidated and dilapidated scene, empty like a ghost town.

"Look at this place, there are not many living people left." Mo Yun pointed to the surrounding courtyards, "It's more like Hades than Hades."

It is more like Hades than Hades, this is true.

Under Yan Qingran's governance, even a large ghost gathering place like the underworld can be full of vitality, noisy every day, like another world, but the real world has such a desolate place.

The worlds of yin and yang seemed to be reversed.

Shuhuai didn't make a sound, his eyes were full of the branches above the Niangniang Temple.Today can no longer be counted as "surveillance". The tree demon has shown its true colors and has no subordinates. If we don't start now, when will we wait?

"I thought those birds would be enough for her to eat for a few more days, but I didn't expect her to have such a big appetite." Mo Yun pushed open the temple door, and suddenly said these words out of nowhere.Shuhuai couldn't understand at first, but after chewing it several times, he suddenly understood what he meant.

It turned out that the little demon king was not stupid, and he was very good at calculating.He went to sit in the Empress Temple every day just to hold back the tree demon so that she could not go out and could only devour his subordinates first.Those birds have been on the opposite side of Shuhuai since the very beginning. They followed the tree demon everywhere to harm people and help others. Their crimes are so serious that Mo Yun will definitely not let them survive, and the most efficient way to destroy difficult enemies is to kill them in other places. Create internal conflicts and make them kill each other.

Shu Huai drew his sword and cut off the branch in front of him, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.Thanks to Mo Yun's move, they now only need to face an old tree instead of those strange birds.

Now that the bird demon has been devoured by the Peach Blossom Empress, there is no possibility of threatening them anymore, and the mortals in the city are also much safer, and there is no need to worry about being attacked suddenly.

A small sound came from the air. Mo Yun looked up and saw countless flowers blooming on those dry branches. In an instant, the flowers bloomed like a brocade, covering the glazed tiles and half of the sky above them.

The Peach Blossom Empress was sitting on a branch with a sullen expression, staring straight at Mo Yun, full of resentment and hatred, as if she wanted to swallow him alive.Shu Huai took a closer look and found that only the upper body of her still retains a human shape, and the waist below is integrated with the dead branch. She is not sitting on the branch, but growing on it. It is truly terrifying at first glance.

"Unexpectedly, you still have the energy to maintain the illusion, is it because you are not hungry enough?" Seeing this situation, Mo Yun was quite emotional.The Peach Blossom Empress is completely desperate for face, she is already in a catastrophe, she will soon be wiped out, and she still has to pretend to be a peach tree.

The dryad looked crazy, and like a madman, she pulled her hair vigorously.The tied bun was caught and scattered, the pearl hairpin fell from the sky and broke into pieces on the stone steps, and the peach blossom trees were shaking with her, and their shadows danced on the ground, like a demon devouring crowds.

Finally, Empress Peach Blossom was mad enough, she raised her finger tremblingly and pointed at Mo Yun, cursing loudly: "You don't know good and bad! You bastard! You will die!"

Shuhuai felt an unknown fire in his heart, he had discovered that some unrepentant guys never realized their mistakes for the rest of their lives, anyone who punished them would be blamed in turn.For this kind of people, there is no such thing as a prodigal son, and any persuasion is completely useless to them.

"It's ridiculous." Mo Yun was insulted by her, but he never got angry. He raised his face to look at the tree demon, and said with a smile, "The guy who died badly, isn't it you now?"

As soon as these words came out, the tree demon suddenly became even more crazy. She shook the branches beside her vigorously, and the rattling sound became chaotic and annoying.

"You little devil! Why are you the demon king!" Empress Peach Blossom yelled in dismay. She waved her hand violently, and the roof of the glazed hall next to the tree trunk exploded, and broken stones and tiles fell like rain on the ground. Punch out dents of different sizes.

In the midst of this chaos, Shuhuai could still hear the shriek of the tree demon: "Your father is servile, he only knows how to love you, and he combined with a human and immortal to give birth to you. You are just lucky to inherit them." The position! You brat! Why did you come here to prevent me from becoming a fairy! You all deserve to die! Go to hell!"

The words "Irremediable" twitched on the tip of the tongue in the book, but in the end they couldn't say it.Peach Blossom Empress cannot be scolded sober.She raised her arms high, and in an instant, eight branches spread out from her back. Accompanied by her movements, the dead branches rose high, and then rushed down quickly, pointing directly at the demon king.

While she was doing it, wisps of gray mist condensed around her, and what appeared this time was no longer an arrow but a spear.Mo Yun was about to pierce the tree demon, when he suddenly saw a sinister smile appearing on her face.His heart sank, he withdrew his weapon abruptly, stretched out his hand to grab the book pocket, and hid it behind him.

There was a gust of evil wind, blowing the peach blossoms all over the tree and dancing wildly. After the flowers were scattered into pieces, they didn't fall slowly, but rushed along with the dead branches!

Mo Yun slapped his palm, the spear suddenly dissipated, and the gray mist regrouped, forming a huge barrier in front of him.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!——" The petals hit the surface of the barrier, and there was the sound of metal and stone knocking, which showed its power.Empress Peach Blossom looked up to the sky and laughed, another shower of flowers rained down, and after the previous round, she flew towards Mo Yun again.

Shuhuai noticed that the peach blossoms on the branches were getting less and less, knowing that the tree demon didn't have more energy, he made a rough estimate, leaned into Mo Yun's ear and asked, "Can you still hold on?"

Sweat broke out from the corner of Mo Yun's forehead, but his mouth was still joking: "You hug me, and I can hold on."

Shuhuai: "..."

Mo Yun said it casually, and didn't expect the other party to take it seriously, but he never expected that a moment later, he would actually be hugged gently.

Then he felt a slap on the back of his head from Shuhuai. Just as he was about to turn his head and make a joke, a cool wind blew in his ears. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a white shadow crossing the barrier, stepping on a long sword and rushing straight towards the tree hanging in the air. demon.Shuhuai avoided branches and rocks along the way, and his figure was as agile as a white crane in the clouds. Mo Yun couldn't take his eyes off for a moment.

After a while, the flying flowers cleared away, the evil wind stopped for a while, Mo Yun took off his protection, and a long knife appeared in his right hand.At this moment, a tree vine rolled up in front of him, he jumped up, stepped on it heavily, jumped into the air with his strength, and swung forward vigorously!

The strong wind broke the branches all the way, and the dead branches and leaves turned into dust. The Peach Blossom Empress dodged in a hurry, and the blow hit the tree trunk, leaving a deep crack that almost split the whole tree from it.

She escaped by luck, but before she could catch her breath, she was forced to confront the book that stabbed from behind with a sword.Shuhuai is really like a white bird, flying lightly between the branches, stabbing out a sword every time he changes his foothold, countless phantoms intertwine and overlap, which dazzles the Peach Blossom Empress, so she has to dodge again and again, hiding in the crown of the tree, Go around in circles with your opponent.

Such a delay is not good for oneself, and another method must be found.Shuhuai caught a glimpse of the scars Mo Yun had made on the tree trunk.

But the trunk is always stronger than the branches, and it takes more time to cut it off.

Shu Huai glanced at Mo Yun from a distance, the two sides exchanged glances, and then, they launched attacks from both sides at the same time!

The sword hangs side by side, and the wind howls, crashing into the crack in the center of the tree trunk again and again!

The huge canopy trembled violently, crumbling, and the Dryad would be completely defeated in a short time.

While they were not paying attention, a soft vine quietly climbed down the tree, lay on the ground and stretched out to the outside of the fence.This is a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity. It searched left and right, and finally found its meal!

The venomous snake popped out its fangs suddenly, capturing the motionless target outside the wall.It lifts up the booty, trying to deliver the rare prey to its master.

"My beloved—" The Peach Blossom Empress no longer hid, she reappeared from the canopy of the tree, opened her arms with a shrill grin, and wanted to hug someone, "Come and be buried with me!"

Everything was supposed to go smoothly, but something happened suddenly, Shu Huai was disturbed, and fell down in a step.Seeing this, Mo Yun immediately stopped attacking, and stretched out his hand to pull the man into his arms. Shu Huai quickly switched the sword to his left hand, and the sword edge was slightly deflected at an angle, piercing the thin vine fiercely.

The person who was caught earlier fell down, and Shuhuai finally saw who was disrupting the situation. At that moment, he felt blood surge and almost cursed.

"Not enough success, more than failure!" Mo Yun also saw this guy, and immediately became furious, "Others are hiding, what is he running out of!"

They were too busy to take care of themselves at the moment, unable to rescue him, they could only watch the man fall anxiously.

A light pink dress suddenly appeared in the slanted spine, and Shuhuai's breath froze for a moment, and he watched her fly towards the fallen with wide eyes.

"Meng Lang!" The woman caught this mortal who was not afraid of death, and fell lightly back to the ground.
