However, after Ning Caijun was possessed by the weasel, she stayed in the county government office for ten days without leaving the main gate or the secondary gate, and she devoted herself to one thing, forgetting to eat and sleep.
If you work hard enough, you can grind an iron rod into a needle.
The bride of guard Zhao Liu, the two younger sisters of guard Wang Wu, the three older sisters of guard Gou Zi, all the female members of Huichun Hall... even the aunt Ning could not escape his clutches.
Exactly:
There is music and singing every day, and joy every night.
Ten days and nine nights without feeling tired, full of energy and radiant.
Until late at night on the fifteenth day.
A man walked out from the inner hall of the yamen. The moonlight shone on his face. It was undoubtedly Ning Caijun. His pupils emitted a green light, which was very scary.
Behind him followed hundreds of strong officials. They were working in groups of three or five, carrying large wooden boxes that seemed to contain something heavy. They were so heavy that they were exerting all their strength. Their faces were flushed and red, and veins on their foreheads were bulging.
Ning Caijun stretched out his finger and pointed, dispersing the evil spirit. Suddenly, these officials became as if assisted by gods, with infinite strength. The boxes in their hands also became light, which was amazing.
"Weasel, return my body to me immediately. Do you know what you are doing?" Another voice came from inside the body.
"Ning Caijun, now that you've boarded this Daoist ship, there's no reason for you to sail alone."
"Monster, you are so despicable!"
"Hehe, how can you enjoy the good things without putting in any effort in this world? Everything has a price. This Taoist, the tree demon grandfather, and the leopard fairy supreme will work together to help you pass three exams in a row, become the top three in the imperial examination, and become the top scorer in the imperial examination. Now is the time for you to contribute."
"Monster, aren't you afraid that Zhang Ling will come after you later?"
"Hmph, even the City God of this county has to bow his head before the Leopard Immortal Supreme. Could it be that Zhang Ling is even more powerful than the City God? Not to mention that he seems to have already left."
As night fell, the sky was filled with fog.
The officials followed Ning Caijun's body into a dense forest.
There was a rustling sound in the forest, and a deep murmur was heard. A black shadow suddenly jumped out of the soil. Endless thick vines stretched out in all directions in the forest like octopus tentacles, waving and silently moving towards the living people.
Suddenly, hundreds of officials were wrapped up in the magic. Their pupils dilated and they screamed in fear: "Monster!"
Crunch...
Crunch.
Crunch!
Ning Caijun walked forward a few steps on the dead branches and leaves, and then suddenly a yellow mist shot out from his body, and when it landed on the ground, he turned into a Taoist priest with shifty eyes.
At this moment, Ning Caijun regained control of his body, but just as he reacted, he fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Grandpa Tree Demon, with so much blood food in front of you, what are you waiting for?"
The weasel chuckled and spoke to somewhere in the darkness.
Dense leaves fell from the trees and gathered on the ground. A gust of wind blew, causing a rustling sound to scatter everywhere.
A withered, drooping, and wrinkled face suddenly appeared in an ancient tree. The face looked like that of an old man, as dirty as a rag crumpled into a ball. It turned out to be an old tree demon that had become a spirit.
"I never eat humans. The three-year period agreed upon with the Leopard Immortal has expired. Please return my granddaughter Nan Nan to me immediately!"
The low voice, mixed with a sense of vicissitudes, drifted slowly in the woods.
"Hehe, Grandpa Tree Demon, the Leopard Immortal Supreme said that if you don't pay your tribute tonight, you won't have to see your granddaughter again. As long as you eat some people, Nan Nan will be handed over to you immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the old tree demon thought for a long time.
A flash of blood-red suddenly appeared in the pitch-black forest covered by the night. If anyone looked closely, their scalp would tingle and they would shudder.
This blood-red color turned out to be a bloody mouth!
The octopus vine rolled up a stranger and threw it into its mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound, just like eating chicken cartilage.
"Not enough! Not enough!" The weasel demon shook his head and said, "The Leopard Immortal Supreme needs a large number of living souls. How can one be enough for you?"
There was a long silence in the forest. With an old sigh, all the officials were swallowed into the belly of the old tree demon.
At once, a large number of living souls emerged, and were all sucked away by the yellow rat using a small bottle.
"Is it okay?" asked the tree demon grandfather.
Unexpectedly, the yellow rat shook his head again, waved his hand and opened the big box he had just brought from the city. Inside were living people who were tied up and gagged. If someone in the city saw their faces, they would definitely be able to recognize that these were people from Huichuntang.
Even Liu Baolong and Ning were among them.
After two or three breaths, the box was empty, and a burp sound seemed to be heard from the dense forest.
In a moment, the weasel demon took out a jade bottle and opened the stopper with a "pop" sound. Clouds of smoke floated out, and soon a graceful young girl fell to the ground unconscious. She was wearing clothes made of leaves of different colors, had a pretty face, and gray-brown skin.
Rustle...
The thick vines rolled up the little tree demon on the ground and took it into the depths of the dense forest.
"Master Tree Demon, from now on we are like grasshoppers on the same rope. To show my sincerity, I will hand Ning Caijun over to you as a hostage. This child is connected to my destiny. Does this show my sincerity?"
"The Leopard Immortal Supreme hopes that we will work together. When the task is accomplished, you will take the lead and have a bright future on the path to immortality!"
After the weasel said this, he turned around and left triumphantly.
After a while.
A woman's voice rang out, pleasant and ethereal: "Grandpa, did you eat people?"
A faint sigh was heard from the dense forest, followed by a long silence.
"Grandpa, is the immortal path it talks about true?"
After a while, the old tree demon said helplessly: "Now that I have committed the sin of killing, it is difficult for me to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal in this lifetime."
"Nannan understood everything. If Grandpa hadn't eaten humans, he could have become an immortal, but he couldn't have saved Nannan. If he had eaten humans, he could have saved Nannan, but he couldn't have become an immortal."
The little tree demon Nan Nan said seriously, and then asked: "What should we do now?"
