Nie Xiaoqian felt that asking this sentence really exhausted all the courage she had accumulated.

Naturally, she didn't feel the changes in the aura before. Speaking of which, Nie Xiaoqian had just died less than half a month ago, and now she is just a wild ghost.She has no cultivation base at all now, whether it is sunlight or flames, or the awe-inspiring righteousness that kills blood, many things can harm her, and she is very fragile.

What Nie Xiaoqian heard was a voice.

The body of the tree demon's grandmother is very tall, and the sound of falling down is naturally not small - Xie Nongyue was really merciless when he started, even if the tree demon's body has been tempered for many years and is as tough as some precious black iron, it was stopped in the middle truncate.With sufficient volume and mass, when the half of the trunk fell to the ground, the entire Lanruo Temple shook

At the very beginning, Nie Xiaoqian thought it was an earthquake.

It wasn't until I heard from a female ghost with a good relationship who was guarding me that I realized that it was the tree demon who always called himself grandma who had passed away.

The dryad's grandmother has always been a mountain on Nie Xiaoqian's head. Although she only lived to the end of her life, she has lived happily and harmoniously in these years.She was supposed to have a peaceful life in the first place, but due to unforeseen circumstances, she died early and was buried next to the desolate ancient temple in the north of the city. Unfortunately, she was found by the tree demon who went out and took the bones, trying to coerce her into killing her. people.

Xiaoqian is kind by nature, so she is naturally unwilling to do such harmful things.The dryad's grandmother loved her for her beauty, and because she was busy with relocation, she didn't try to persecute her, she just asked her female ghost to guard Xiaoqian.The dryad's grandma originally planned to wait until she had finished dealing with the matter at hand before making Xiaoqian obedient, but she didn't want to suddenly interrupt Xie Nongyue halfway, and do it without saying a word.

The tree demon grandmother was beheaded by Xie Nongyue with a sword, and the restraint on those female ghosts naturally disappeared.Overjoyed, some people wanted to escape from here, but they were blocked by the barrier that was erected outside.

This was naturally done by Xie Nongyue. Although wild ghosts are fragile and generally have little ability other than scaring people, it would be a disaster if they leaked out.There are many female ghosts in Lanruo Temple. Of course, some of them are resentful towards the tree demon grandmother, and some of them are helpless like Nie Xiaoqian but are coerced, but there are also loyal followers, and their temperaments are also different.That being the case, it would be better to stop them directly and send them to reincarnate one by one.

In this respect, the underworld is always just.

Xie Nongyue didn't intend to take the initiative to find someone, but waited for them to come to her.And after the initial turmoil, these female ghosts also discussed and made this decision.It turned out that the one who came should be another ghost with a higher level of cultivation, but the ghost has a lot of blood on it, so it's better to find someone who hasn't been stained with blood, so as to please the grandma who killed the dryad For his great ability, he picked and chose, and finally chose Nie Xiaoqian.

She has only been here for a short time, and she has not been stained with any stern resentment, nor was she ordered to harm others, and she has not done any evil things during her lifetime, and she still maintains the most pure appearance.According to one of the female ghosts, the spiritual power that killed the tree demon's grandmother was clear and pure, and he should be a righteous person, and his attitude towards female ghosts like Xiaoqian should be better.

So Nie Xiaoqian, who was pushed out, came here tremblingly. She is still a normal girl, and she is naturally afraid of such unknown existences.But thinking about the other party killing the dryad's grandmother, he couldn't restrain his great affection in his heart.

After hesitating for a while at the gate of the courtyard, Nie Xiaoqian just stepped in.

The first thing she saw was a young girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, like a jade flower and a jade grass, just extraordinary.The girl was dressed in a plain Taoist robe, her blue hair was combed and tightly tied up with a Taoist crown. Although the attire was a little gorgeous, it was obvious that she was a Taoist disciple.

The maiden-like Nvguanzi is sitting on the tree stump, with a silver versicolor brush dusted between her arms, her posture is casual, but it is also like meditating on a strange stone beside a clear spring in the mountains and forests, naturally there is a wonderful feeling Qiyun separates her from everything around her.That aloof attitude made people ignore her beauty, and was heartbroken by her demeanor.Nie Xiaoqian was also dazzled by this demeanor when she first met, but after she recovered, her attention shifted to the tree stump.

There is only one tree in this courtyard, so it is obvious what the stump is.

But Nie Xiaoqian still asked—just for peace of mind.

"You mean the tree demon?" Xie Nongyue asked realistically, then lifted the hem of his clothes, waved at Nie Xiaoqian, and said, "Come here, talk soon."

Although Xie Nongyue's attitude was a little lighter, it could be called gentle.Nie Xiaoqian was certain in her heart, walked forward obediently, and stopped a few steps away from Xie Nongyue, recalling the actions of those Taoist priests she saw when she went to the Taoist temple to offer incense, and performed a Meridian Art.

"I am Xiaoqian, a daughter of the Nie family in Cangzhou, and I have met the Taoist priest."

Although he practiced the Zi Wu Jue, he still spoke in a ladylike tone, so it was inevitable that it would be a bit nondescript.Xie Nongyue saw it, but only smiled slightly.

After all, Nie Xiaoqian has never formally learned it, and she doesn't know much about Ziwu Jue. Although she followed the appearance of a Taoist priest in her memory, some mistakes are inevitable.But this is not a big deal, Xie Nongyue focused on: "Are you also a daughter of the Nie family in Cangzhou?" Facing Nie Xiaoqian's bewildered gaze, Xie Nongyue asked again: "What is your relationship with Nie Die?"

"...that's the elder sister of the concubine." Nie Xiaoqian looked surprised, "The elder sister passed away 20 years ago, and the concubine only knew about it after hearing it from my father by chance. The Taoist priest asked this question, but Have you met the Clan Sister?" Her tone was full of anticipation, and at the end, she was even more joyful.

Xie Nongyue ruthlessly broke Nie Xiaoqian's fantasy: "That's not the case. I had a relationship with Mrs. Nie once, and she, like you, was controlled by this tree demon. However, Mrs. Nie didn't want to be like this forever, so she took advantage of The tree demon forcibly broke free when he went out, but it was just a bad move. A few days ago, Lady Nie has already died." She added a little beautification to Nie Die's behavior, and said: "Since you are the sister of Lady Nie, Do you know how Madam Nie's parents are doing?"

"Six months ago, third uncle and third aunt passed away." Nie Xiaoqian whispered.

Even the crabapple flowers in that courtyard withered overnight.

"That's it..." Xie Nongyue wasn't too surprised, "After the matter here is over, are you willing to guide me? The bones of Mrs. Nie are also controlled by this tree demon. I thought, it would be better for the fallen leaves to return to their roots." . " After all, we have met once before, so Xie Nongyue is willing to help out with this little effort.

Nie Xiaoqian nodded first, then knelt down facing Xie Nongyue.Xie Nongyue accepted the gift without hesitation, and heard the tearful girl begging in front of her, "Xiaoqian is naturally duty-bound for the clan sister's matter. It's just that although the sisters here have also harmed others, they can't help themselves after all. Let’s send them home together.”

"Pray for mercy!"

"Pray for mercy!"

Several female ghosts in the appearance of young girls also ran in. They had been waiting outside the courtyard wall before—or eavesdropping. Xie Nongyue knew about it, but never cared.At this time, they couldn't help but ran over and knelt down in front of Xie Nongyue together with Nie Xiaoqian, begging bitterly.

"Falling leaves return to their roots, wanderers return to their hometowns, the feeling of being adrift...it's really painful..."

"We can't rest in peace, we can't go home, we can't even reincarnate smoothly!"

……

Every single word is the pain they have accumulated over the years.

There is no way to ignore it.

Xie Nongyue clearly understood this point.

It's not because of the begging of these female ghosts, but because...the test in my heart can't be passed.

None of them should have suffered these pains in the first place, but after so many years, they pinned their desire to return to their roots on themselves, as if they were desperate.

If you refuse, you will really be desperate, right?

Xie Nongyue was not afraid of the various monsters that would be born after these female ghosts despaired, she just pitied them.

How painful it must be to lose even the last hope.

It is true that there is still the option of forcibly sending them to the underworld, Xie Nongyue is also confident in doing it, but this is too unreasonable.They didn't do anything wrong, these requests are just a small gesture, why would they do this?She was willing to send Nie Die home, so why refused them?

"I promise you."

she says.

The author has something to say:

In ancient times, it was more common for women to call themselves "concubines" and "handmaiden".In the Tang Dynasty, women called themselves "er" I remember, so sometimes Nongyue would call themselves this way, which is mentioned earlier
