The years of being a bottle tree spirit

"Okay! Let's start with Gao Zhi near our village! There is a big mine there, and the mountain god whose daughter was eaten by Yamata no Orochi is the mountain god of that big mine..." Ding told Mu Ping what he had heard in the past. thing.

Mu Ping listened with great interest, and took the initiative to give the young man water from time to time, so as not to be thirsty as he said. After Ding Teenager's narration, Mu Ping finally realized that the world view of her era was different. Except for some gods who live in Gaotianyuan.

There are also many gods, monsters and human beings living together on the earth. Ordinary people know the existence of gods and monsters. Because of the difference in power, ordinary people can only be unnamed civilians, untouchables, the lowest labor supporters, and the exploited. Survive.

The gods and the big monsters stand on the top floor, they are being enshrined and supported, and they are followed and served by the medium monsters and little monsters, and the heirs born by the combination of gods and ordinary humans will become nobles among humans, according to the bloodline of the gods High and low, rank high and low with the power you have...

The chaotic world where humans, gods and demons live together is naturally impossible to be peaceful. Even gods cannot escape the law of the jungle. Human and demon hybrids are more noble than ordinary humans.

He is an aristocrat, who can rule over the rules and regulations of cities and villages, but because the grandson of Amaterasu has not descended from Takamahara to rule Ashihara China, there is no emperor system in Japan now, and the cities of human countries are independent and attack each other.

She didn’t know where she saw it in modern times. She said that Japan didn’t have the concept of an emperor, and it was connected with China. After learning about the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the divine right and the divine right, Japan also produced their own divine right and the divine right. It is said that there is the Emperor.

Thinking about it now, if the gods and monsters really existed, then the eastern gods, western gods, and ancient Greek gods believed by various nationalities all existed, and they must have communicated with each other on the small planet with their powerful power.

In this way, China has the birth of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and it makes sense for Japan to follow suit and send its grandson to become the emperor, uh!Let’s not talk about whether there were monsters and gods in ancient times in my previous life, Japanese myths are not all made up, whether this world fell to the ground is my ancient world, and so on.

Since I reincarnated here, and there are really gods and monsters here, then I should change my not-so-firm scientific core view in this world!It may be better to adapt to this world as a world different from the modern world, otherwise, if you use wrong ideas to see a world that is completely different from the modern world, you may put yourself in a disadvantageous position...

After gaining a general understanding of the outside world, Mu Ping saw that Ding had spoken for such a long time without any impatient reaction from a child. He praised his stability and stability in his heart, but he was also unwilling to let a child become an intelligence information tool. people.

Simply after the conversation came to an end, when Ding drank water again to relieve his dry mouth, he weaved a rattan ball with his own branches and threw it to him: "Okay, it's boring after talking for a long time! Do you want to play for a while?" Ball, I can throw the ball with you!"

After she finished speaking, she deliberately shook her branch. Fortunately, the branches and leaves are like her own hair. No matter if you break it off, it is no different from cutting your hair. It doesn't hurt at all. trouble.

"Play ball? How do you want to play?" Ding looked at the sepak takraw ball that was held by a branch and was bigger than his head, his calm eyes flashed with curiosity.

Mu Ping thought that football, basketball, and volleyball did not appear at this time, and there were no corresponding rules. Ding, a child, could not play too difficult moves. OK, throw the ball out.

Then I catch it with a branch and throw it back to you. You have to catch the ball and throw it back to me. The two of us just toss it to play. Whoever fails to catch it loses. How about it?Play? "

"Play." It sounded very interesting. Ding, who has never played with any toys since he was so old, had bright eyes, and his mood was obviously excited. He tried the feel of the takraw ball with both hands, and suddenly his face changed, like a tutor. The way he looked when he took the baseball.

The whole person's expression became very serious, and then he raised the takraw ball with both hands, and threw it towards the Mu Ping tree in a non-standard, but like a boulder-throwing movement.

Bewildered by the child's appearance, and forgot yesterday's lesson for a moment, Mu Ping controlled the branch to catch the ball without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the first branch broke as soon as it hit the fast-flying ball. She could feel it through the branch. More powerful wind pressure than throwing a shot put.

It reminded her of the fear of being dominated by the child's strange power yesterday. She hurriedly controlled more branches to catch the ball together. After a lot of scrambling, she finally caught the sepak takraw ball without embarrassing the adults. Why is the child so strong? Really ordinary kids?Wouldn't it also have the blood of gods and demons?

Mu Ping murmured in her heart that she didn't want to lose to the stubbornness of a child, so she decided to be more serious, brazenly throwing the ball with more branches. Unexpectedly, facing the menacing sepak takraw ball, Ding's eyes became brighter, and his emotions Visibly more excited.

Then he effortlessly caught the sepak takraw ball that Mu Ping thought was a bit difficult to throw, and returned it to her forcefully. Unconvinced, Mu Ping decided to use his experience in watching football over the past twenty years to throw it even more difficult. The ball goes against Ding.

She was just planning to coax the children to play for a while, but under the attitude of a certain future ghost and beast to play seriously, she had to become more and more serious. One person and one tree came and went, and the balls were thrown harder and harder. Gao, also playing more and more happily...

Until Ding was obviously tired and fell asleep leaning on her trunk, Mu Ping looked at the boy's face flushed with heat under the sun, and simply controlled his movement inside the trunk space, and put the Mu Niu fruit, stored The water is isolated to the other side with the core.

On the vacant side, use tree cores to form a wooden cot, then open the trunk space, use branches to move Ding to the wooden cot in the trunk space, leave a vent, close the trunk space, she Under the scorching sun, I also felt a little drowsy and became slightly confused.

Feeling much cooler than the outside, as if all the heat was blocked outside, the Gouyu necklace that was still hanging around his neck yesterday was next to the small wooden bed. The state of light sleep has entered the state of deep sleep...

Ding woke up from a nap until the afternoon. Under Mu Ping's instructions, he reheated the stewed beef in the hot pot and ate a full meal. Then he said goodbye to her. The two agreed to continue playing sepak takraw together tomorrow. Looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow together, she remembered that she forgot to return the necklace after the boy left...

However, the next morning, Mu Ping stewed another pot full of wooden beef, but she waited until dark before Ding came. He also worked hard to produce a wooden cow fruit, and prepared to stew it for him tomorrow.

But the boy still hasn't come, maybe the boy's matter hasn't been resolved yet!On the third night, she caught the head sheep, and found condiments such as onion and ginger from the dry weeds in the surrounding grasslands. After absorbing them with the roots, they produced seasoning fruits in the trunk space.

She wanted to stew a pot of delicious mutton for the boy, but she still didn't wait for the boy's figure. On the fourth day, she worked hard to extend the root system and found a skinny hen and eggs. On the fifth day, she caught a deer. sky……

Until half a month after the teenager missed the appointment, the long-dry place ushered in heavy rain, which continued to fall, the mountains and forests became moist, and the dry waterways were filled with streams again.

After the rain stopped, the dying trees began to rejuvenate, and new weeds grew. You can see the smoke rising from the village at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and occasionally you can see farmers carrying farm tools up the mountain.

But she didn't see the boy once. She didn't know why Ding missed the appointment. Was it because the weather was too dry and moved to another place?Was it because someone told him that monsters were scary, so that he was too scared to come?Is it because the weather is no longer dry, so he won't come without his help?

No!Although Ding herself had known each other not long ago, she didn't think that the young man would be that kind of person at all. Something must have happened that made him miss the appointment, or he had encountered some danger?After all, he is an orphan, young and well-growth, in this chaotic environment.

It is possible to be kidnapped and sold to a distant place, but it is a pity that I am reincarnated into a tree and cannot move. If I can move at will, I can leave and look for it, so I don’t have to worry so much. Mu Ping tries to avoid thinking about worse possibilities.

After the rain, Mu Ping still collected the ingredients and seasonings around him, and stored a lot of nutrients in his trunk, saving it for the boy to come, and feed him with delicious food. Unfortunately, day by day, Ding The boy never appeared in front of her.

For a long time, no one can communicate. In addition to absorbing sunlight, carbon dioxide, moonlight, the power of the stars, and the substances of the earth as nutrients in life, let your tree grow freely. Maybe she has more ways to absorb nutrients than other trees. Maybe she still has unknown ability to vary.

In short, her growth rate is much faster than that of ordinary trees. At the beginning, when she was bored, she would observe the amount of nutrients she absorbed every day and the volume of growth. Later, when she ushered in the first snow in the tree, she turned out to be like a cold-blooded animal. Usually fall into complete deep sleep and hibernation.

The snow melted in the second year, and she found that even though she was asleep, the growth of the tree still did not stop, so she put herself into hibernation from time to time, and passed the increasingly boring time with long sleep.

She didn't have the habit of recording the number of days, and she didn't know how long it had been. She only remembered that she had seen heavy snow many times when she woke up. It must have been several years, ten years, or longer...
