Chapter 456 Just found out
In the end, Tong Wudi left almost as if he was escaping, and then only Li Chu and a large glazed fairy tree were left on the field.
Li Chu looked at the direction where Tong Wudi left, and in an instant, he had turned into a cloud in the northwest sky. He thought to himself that he really deserved to be the best in the world, and the speed of this cloud-soaring speed was unprecedented.
but……
If he ran away, what would happen to the tree? Li Chu looked at the fairy tree again.
Tong Wudi and Li Chu had just been trying to shirk their responsibilities, and it looked like neither wanted the tree. The Glazed Fairy Tree was clearly angry. At this moment, it was still standing there with its hands on its hips, looking away from the treetops, looking like it was impossible to coax it.
Can't coax him? Li Chu blinked and bowed to the fairy tree: "Thank you for your help this time, Venerable Tree. I am very grateful."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The Glazed Fairy Tree turned its crown around, as if it was struggling over whether to follow.
Li Chu took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and turned around.
The Glazed Fairy Tree suddenly turned its crown over again, pretending that it had not moved at all - just like a tree should do.
Li Chu turned around and continued walking.
The fairy tree turned its crown again, struggling over whether or not to follow.
Li Chu turned back suddenly again.
The fairy tree quickly turned its crown away and pretended that it had not moved.
As for the rustling and swaying of the leaves as it shakes its head... don't pay attention to those details.
Seeing this, Li Chu turned around and walked away steadily.
Seeing this, the Glazed Fairy Tree realized that this man really seemed like he would never come back to look at it again, let alone come and beg it to change its mind.
Highlight one's ruthlessness.
The fairy tree was so angry that its leaves turned red and its trunk was shaking. It looked like it was thinking that it didn't care about this kind of heartless and ungrateful man! After a long while, it gritted its teeth, stomped its feet, and made up its mind...
Followed up.
Highlight a humbleness.
…
So when Li Chu returned to the place they had agreed on, there was still a graceful and humble fairy tree following him, floating leisurely.
He had no good way to deal with this Tree Venerable.
You can't fight it, and you can't reason with it, it just has to follow you, and you can only try not to treat it as a human being.
Although it wasn't.
The few people waiting there, led by Lao Du, were torturing You Dannu.
"Hey, Master, you're back." Seeing Li Chu coming back, Lao Du turned around and called out, "Is everything going well over there?"
"It's going pretty well, how about you guys?" Li Chu asked.
"He's already been tortured, but he hasn't confessed anything." Lao Du said angrily, swinging the whip in his hand.
"This guy is so stubborn." Wang Longqi also said while holding a pair of pliers.
"I want to see how long he can hold on." Zhao Liangchen said this while holding a wooden stick, followed by a few little brats carrying tiger benches and pepper water.
Even the seemingly weak little butterfly fairy was holding two steel needles, looking relieved.
Li Chu asked again: "Then what did you ask?"
"..." Lao Du was silent for a moment, then looked at Wang Longqi, Wang Longqi looked at Zhao Liangchen, Zhao Liangchen looked at Xiao Diexian, and Xiao Diexian looked at Lao Du.
"This matter is so complicated..." Old Du scratched his head, "I almost forgot about it."
Li Chu understood the situation, pushed aside the crowd and walked closer to Youdan Nu.
Youdan Nu, who had been struck by the thunder and turned into a charcoal-like color, no longer had any human form, but he was still motionless.
Li Chu raised his hand to free him from the immobilization.
Because the people here have low cultivation levels, Li Chu was worried that Youdan Nu would be harmful to everyone if he woke up before leaving, so he gave him a ruthless punishment, which was only released at this time.
"It hurts so much—"
As soon as the immobilization was released, Youdan Nu immediately let out a wail like a ghost or a wolf howling.
Then, without even daring to cry any more, she immediately shouted, "I confess, I confess! No matter what you ask, I will confess!"
…
When Tong Wudi returned to Baiyujing, someone was already waiting for him.
In the bright white marble hall, in front of the steps, the Sixth Elder was staring at the distant sky with endless expectation in his eyes. Occasionally, a disciple of Baiyujing passed by with his head lowered, but he did not even blink, but just stared at him blankly.
Looking from northwest to northeast, I see countless mountains.
Some people even suspected that if Tong Wudi had never come back, there would probably be a Husband-Waiting Stone in front of the Baiyujing Palace thousands of years later.
I don’t know how long it took, but finally, there was a rumbling sound and clouds rolled in the sky, and Tong Wudi’s tall figure instantly landed in front of the hall.
The only one who dared to land on the top of Baiyujing Peak in such an arrogant manner was the master himself.
"Master, you are finally back!" The Sixth Elder rushed over and asked repeatedly, "Are you tired? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? And by the way, did you bring our tree back successfully?"
Hearing this, Tong Wudi paused.
Then he turned his head and looked at the Sixth Elder with calm eyes.
The Sixth Elder has followed Tong Wudi for many years and knew that the look in his eyes was probably a sign of displeasure.
So he immediately slapped his mouth and said, "Oh, look at what I'm asking, you have a stupid brain. It's impossible for the head teacher to personally take action. I guess the fairy tree must have returned safely to the Treasure Tree Peak by now... Hehe..."
He laughed twice and found that Tong Wudi's eyes had not changed...his smile suddenly became a little dry.
Just when the Sixth Elder felt a chill run down his spine, Tong Wudi asked, "Sixth Junior Brother, do you know what's going on?"
The Sixth Elder was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded heavily, "Yes, yes, I miss our fairy tree all the time! Otherwise, how could I take such good care of the fairy tree over the years. Only under my care, such rare fairy trees can bloom one after another..."
Hearing him mention the "rare" blossoming of the immortal tree, Tong Wudi's eyes became even darker, his pupils shrank, and he said, "Sixth Junior Brother, if you know what's going on, don't ask any more questions."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the hall without looking back.
"Huh?"
The Sixth Elder pondered for a while.
"I have trees in my heart, but there are no trees on our mountain! If there are no trees on the mountain, won't I be unemployed? This won't work... Brother Master..."
He raised his foot and quickly chased after him.
The disciple guarding the main hall crossed his arms to stop him and advised: "The headmaster is obviously not happy. If you chase him and ask questions at this time, it will obviously bring bad luck... Sixth Elder, you should have some idea in your mind..."
This disciple was a disciple of Tong Wudi, and had always been the headmaster's trusted confidant. His status was incomparable to that of the Sixth Elder, who was just a tree-tending clerk. So even though he was one generation older, he did not feel offended by the other party.
Just a little puzzled.
"Everyone tells me I have trees, but I have no trees..." The Sixth Elder muttered in confusion and turned away.
An unemployed old man, his back suddenly seemed to have aged by dozens of years.
The disciple who was guarding the place turned around and followed Tong Wudi to report, "Master, there are two people who want to see you. They are waiting in the side hall."
"Who?" Tong Wudi asked.
It was impossible for ordinary people to get close to Baiyujing, let alone come to the palace. To be able to pass the layers of scrutiny by his subordinates meant that he was of some importance.
“I don’t know…” The disciple who guarded the place shook his head and said, “It was a woman with unfathomable cultivation, and she brought a follower with her. She said that she would only tell you her origins…”
"I understand." Tong Wudi nodded, then strode into the side hall for receiving guests.
The people in the hall had already heard his footsteps and stood up. The one standing in front was indeed a woman.
The woman was wearing a golden gauze dress, which was full of light and brilliance. She wore a gorgeous headdress on her head, her skin was smooth and white, and her eyes were shining.
Tong Wudi saw it at a glance.
This woman is not shallow.
His cultivation is not shallow.
Behind him followed a black-faced Taoist priest wearing a green Taoist robe. He had a plain face and looked like an old farmer.
The style is 90% similar to Li Chu's
If Li Chu were here, he should be able to recognize that this person was Taoist Sang, whom he had met several times in Hangzhou Prefecture.
The two wore the same clothes when they met for the first time. Later, he competed with Li Chu for the last treasure gourd in the gourd secret realm. He had already taken the lead with his invisibility ability, but Li Chu used his pupil technique to trap him into an infinite illusion.
That mistake also shattered the gourd, releasing a strange woman with holy light, who took the entire gourd cave and fled far away.
Tong Wudi looked at Taoist Sang and said, "I've seen you before. You're the one from Wuchao Temple..."
"Master Sang." The old Taoist responded quickly.
No matter how arrogant he was or how many years he had practiced, he was still like a junior in front of Tong Wudi and did not dare to put on airs.
Tong Wudi frowned.
I don't know why, but I feel uncomfortable when I see this Taoist robe...
Fortunately, this ugly face looks more friendly...
He turned his head to look at the woman in front of him. Since she could make the powerful Sang Daoren follow her like a follower, this woman must be of great background.
"Before I introduce myself, I would like to ask Master Tong a question." The woman said slowly.
However, her accent was a bit strange. Although she spoke fluently, it seemed a bit awkward, as if she had just learned the language not long ago.
"Speak." Tong Wudi said.
“Master Tong, do you know that above the so-called seven realms of heaven and man in this world... there are other realms?” The woman looked at Tong Wudi with certainty. She must have believed in her heart that these words would definitely bring a huge shock to the world's number one.
But……
Tong Wudi's gaze was beyond her expectations, still very calm.
Even felt like laughing.
Then Tong Wudi said slowly: "I didn't know it at first, but... I just found out."
