I'll be the villain. [Putting through the book]

On the peach tree, the sword spirit is taking a nap on the peach tree.

Tao Ling flew over and shook him excitedly, "Yu Lu, wake up!"

"What are you doing!" Yu Lu turned over, a little annoyed, and didn't want to wake up from his sleep.

"Get up, I'll take you to see a baby."

Yu Lu asked in a daze, "What baby?"

"You'll know when you get there." Tao Ling didn't care if Yu Lu woke up or not, and flew to Taodu Mountain Villa with the people on his back.

At the entrance of Taodu Mountain Villa, a Buddhist monk wearing a white monk robe and holding a golden staff walked slowly.

Seeing the monk, Tao Ling immediately became quiet, with a gleam in his eyes that Yu Lu couldn't understand.

Yu Lu lay on the tree trunk and yawned, "Who is this? Where's the baby?"

"He is the treasure I mentioned." Tao Ling introduced to Yu Lu with a proud face, "Buddhism sees the heart, Master Yunchen's first disciple, and the next abbot of the three Buddhist sects."

"I've heard of it a little bit." Yu Lu said casually, and then asked: "Why do we hide and peep in the peach tree?"

Tao Ling didn't answer.

Yu Lu turned his head to see that Tao Ling's face was as red as a peach.

Yu Lu didn't understand, and scratched his head.

At the same time, a red figure came out from Taodu Villa.

Xiao Xueting brought the sword spirit Shen Yue to the entrance of the villa.

Yu Lu hid in the dark and rolled his eyes at Xiao Xueting.

Xiao Xueting seemed to notice it, and glanced at the peach blossom tree where Yu Lu and Tao Ling were hiding.

Yu Lu met Xiao Xueting's cold gaze, and immediately hid his body behind the peach branch.

Tao Ling only looked at the Buddha cultivator, and didn't even notice that his master was coming.

Fortunately, Xiao Xueting came here to welcome the guests, and did not make things difficult for the two of them.

"Amitabha. I have seen Xiao Duzhu with my heart." The white-clothed Buddha Xiu bowed to Xiao Xueting, seemingly respectful, but there was some coldness hidden in his lowered eyebrows and eyes.

Xiao Xueting stepped forward, smiling like a warm spring breeze in March, "Seeing that Master Xin has come from afar, there is no need to be polite, please come into the villa."

Jian Xin nodded slightly.

Tao Ling watched Foxiu enter the villa, until the figure was completely blocked by the high wall, then looked back and sighed faintly.

Yu Lu wondered, "What's the trouble?"

Tao Ling leaned against the peach tree, seemed to be remembering, and sighed again after a long time.

Yu Lu couldn't take it anymore, "Do you have any stories with that monk? Let's hear it."

"It's all the past, don't talk about it." Tao Ling covered her face and let out another long sigh.

Tsk, Yu Lu is even more curious.He reached out and grabbed a branch of peach blossom.

Tao Ling exclaimed: "What are you doing?"

Yu Lu pinched the flower branch and said quietly: "I want to hear the story."

Tao Ling pretended not to understand: "If you want to listen to the story, ask Master Jian to take you to the teahouse and restaurant in the mortal world, where there are many stories."

"I want to hear it now. I was woken up from my afternoon nap, and I'm holding my breath now." He said, making a gesture to break the peach blossom branch in his hand.

Tao Ling immediately said: "Don't do anything, I say!"

Only then did Yu Lu let go.

Tao Ling looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, she leaned close to Yu Lu's ear, and said quickly and softly: "I like him."

Yu Lu reacted for a moment, and said in surprise: "Two men are also okay?"

It's not that Yu Lu has any prejudice against homosexuality, but he clearly remembers that this is a male-language article, so why does it have a danmei branch?

Immediately, Tao Ling's answer dispelled Yu Lu's doubts: "What two men, I am a wood spirit, not a flower essence, there is no difference between male and female."

It's because he is narrow-minded, it's all cross-species, and he still cares about gender.

Yu Lu: "Go on."

Tao Ling sat on the peach tree, reaching out to catch a falling peach blossom.He looked at the peach blossom in his palm and frowned, as if he was trying to remember something.

After a long time, Tao Ling supported his head and said softly: "It seems so, I like him, because 200 years ago... yes, 200 years ago, he was kind to me."

Then, Tao Ling told this story to Yu Lu.

When he told this story, there was a slight smile on the corners of his eyes and brows, and his tone was so gentle that Yu Lu had never heard before.

"At that time, I already had my own consciousness under the nourishment of Taodu's spiritual energy. But because I didn't have enough cultivation, I couldn't transform myself yet."

The wood spirit is very painful before it takes shape, because it will gradually develop the five senses and perceptions.That means it can feel pain.

Having a sense of pain is the greatest disaster for all wood spirits before they take shape.The violent wind and rain, moth-eaten and bird pecks that were once taken for granted, will all turn into piercing pain at this stage.

And because the wood spirits can't transform into form, they can't freely release their spiritual power, so they don't have the power to resist, so they can only bear it silently.

"This is the practice of the spirit. If you can bear it, you will transform into a living being. If you can't bear it, your spiritual consciousness will dissipate and your body will wither."

It took 50 years for the peach spirit to take shape. He survived the wind and rain for 50 years alone.No one asked him if he was in pain, and no one noticed that the [-] peach trees in Peach City had already given birth to spiritual consciousness.

Only one rainy night, a monk in white walked slowly into the peach forest with a golden staff in his hand.

The heavy rain drenched his monk robe, but he was still calm.

He walked to a peach tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, and looked at it.

He wants shelter from the rain.Peach Spirit thought.

This kind of thing often happens. People want to borrow a tree to shelter from the rain, but never ask the tree if it is willing.

Taoling is the symbiotic spirit of the [-] peach trees in Taodu. One rain is enough for him to feel uncomfortable.

The pain of the strong wind and broken branches has been tormenting him.He shouldn't have paid too much attention to this monk.

But after the monk walked into the woods, he didn't immediately go into the shade of the tree. Instead, he chanted the Buddha's name in an unsheltered place, and then asked, "Can I use the branches and leaves of Lingjun to shelter from the rain?"

"He is the first person in the world to notice me!" Tao Ling was very excited when she said this.

In just a moment, Tao Ling found that he had an extra ability, he could control the movement and growth of the peach tree.

He moved the branches and leaves to cover the monk's head layer by layer, ensuring that not a drop of rain fell on the monk.

But the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and in order to cover the monk from the rain, Tao Ling had to use her spiritual power to make the peach tree grow more branches and leaves.

Suddenly, the dark sky lit up, and with a bang, a thunderbolt fell, and a peach tree was burned down.Tao Ling could hardly bear the pain.

The peach branches covering the monk's head trembled, but they never moved away.

At that time, at the turn of winter and spring, thunder should not have fallen.But the thunder came one after another, more frequent and terrifying than summer thunder.

Tao Ling didn't know what happened at all.

Until a long sigh sounded.

A golden Buddha's light rises and spreads around the monk until it envelops [-] peach trees in Peach City.

For a moment, Fenglei was blocked from the golden light, and Tao Ling understood for the first time that the warmth that people talk about is this kind of feeling, like being embraced by someone.

The monk held a staff and chanted mantras to ward off thunder.

After a long time, the thunder finally stopped.The dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight was exceptionally bright.

Tao Ling successfully crossed the catastrophe and transformed into a human form.

He looked at the monk and smiled brightly.At that moment, he forgot all the sufferings in his past.

The monk put away his staff, and the golden light disappeared without a trace.

Tao Ling walked towards the monk, but the monk suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The monks at that time were not as far-sighted as they are today, and they could not help the elves survive the catastrophe unscathed.

Blood fell on the ground and splashed on Tao Ling's hands.Tao Ling looked at the glaring red dots on the back of his hand, and murmured: "Is this... blood? It seems very fragrant."

Tao Ling raised her hand, wanting to lick it.

"No!" The monk strode forward and took Tao Ling's hand.

Tao Ling's lips landed on the back of the monk's hand.The monk's hand was warm, just like the golden light just now.

After a while, Tao Ling raised his head and looked at the monk blankly.

The monk lowered his eyes, chanted the Buddha's name, and said softly: "Lingjun will shield me from the rain, and I will help Lingjun overcome the thunder disaster. The cause and effect relationship here is over. If Lingjun eats my blood raw and turns into a demon, the evil relationship here will be difficult." Disappeared."

When Yu Lu heard this, he remembered a setting in the original text. When the spirit and spirit were born, they had to choose the way to cultivate.

Tao Ling thought that Yu Lu didn't understand these things, so she explained it carefully to him.

Yu Lu hurriedly said: "I know, you continue."

"You know this, haven't you never been to school?" Tao Ling was a little surprised.

The school that Tao Ling talked about was set up to teach newborn spirits, and there are even some powerful immortal mansions.

Shen Zhuoyuan also wanted to send Yu Lu to the school to study, but Xiao Xueting personally taught all kinds of spirits in Taodu. At that time, one person and one spirit had already looked at each other and hated each other. .

Yu Lu fooled around casually: "Shen Zhuo taught me."

"Jianzun treats you so well." Tao Ling said, smiling, as if a little envious.

"So, he blocked the thunder disaster for you, and then you fell in love with him." Yu Lu followed the logic of this story.

"Wrong." Tao Ling said: "The moment he found me, I fell in love with him. Everything that happened after that will not affect my liking for him."

"Love at first sight." Yu Lu nodded.

"Yes! Humans really know how to invent words." Tao Ling leaned against the peach tree, smiling all over her face.

"Then what happened afterwards?" Yu Lu felt very curious.He has never had love at first sight, but he feels pure and beautiful.

"Later, later..." Tao Ling rubbed the center of her brows, thinking hard.

Yu Lu thought it was too long, and Tao Ling needed time to recall, so he waited patiently.

"Ah, I remembered." Tao Ling said: "During that time, the master was not in Taodu, and no one in Taodu taught me how to practice. It was Jianxin who took the master's class. He taught me how to be a qualified spirit."

Jianxin takes Taoling to practice, and teaches Taoling to read and write.

Occasionally, Tao Ling gets bored with studying and loses her temper and quits school. When she sees her heart, she stops and tells him stories from Buddhist scriptures.

It's been too long, many have been forgotten, but there is one thing that Tao Ling remembers very clearly.

"It means: One day the wind blows and the flags move. One monk said: It is the wind. The other monk said: It is the flags moving. The two quarreled endlessly on this issue. Their masters listened to them and taught them: It is not the wind that moves. It's not the flag moving, it's your heart moving."

Tao Ling smiled and continued: "At that time, I didn't know that a heartbeat meant an impure heart, so I asked Jianxin in a daze: Monk, why don't they know their own heartbeat? Jianxin was silent for a long time and said: People in the world are moved, or they don’t know it, or they don’t dare to speak.”

"Thinking about it now, Jian Xin was afraid at that time and didn't know what it meant, so he prevaricated me indiscriminately."

At this point in the story, Tao Ling suddenly suppressed her smile and let out a long sigh.

Yu Lu looked at Tao Ling.

Tao Ling said: "It's over. Later, when the master returned to Taodu, Jianxin left. After that..." Taoling hesitated, but finally confirmed: "After that, Jianxin never came to Taodu again. It's today."

"Then, does he know that you have feelings for him?"

"Of course I don't know." Tao Ling said: "I was young at that time, and I didn't know what liking was at all. It was only after listening to casual cultivators chatting that I gradually understood that I like to see the heart, I like it very much. Only at that time, Jianxin has been away from Taodu for a long time."

It was a good story at first, but the ending is a bit...

Yu Lu didn't know how to describe it, he could only say it was a pity.

"However, I have decided. Taking this opportunity, I must tell Jianxin that I like him. I will also ask him if he likes me. If he does, I will ask the master to let me go. Taodu, follow him back to Buddhism." Taoling suddenly felt extremely proud.

There is no original book of Tao Ling's story, and Yu Lu doesn't know how it will end. As a friend, he can only pray that Tao Ling will have a good ending.
