One minute ago.
Tuantuan ran happily toward Gu Jinghuai, sweetly calling him "Brother Jinghuai".
As they approached Gu Jinghuai, the little dumpling lost her footing, as if she had tripped over something, and fell forward.
Gu Jinghuai rushed over with quick eyes and hands, only to see the little bundle of milk turn into a tree.
Yes, it's a tree.
Tuan Tuan has transformed into a Jianmu tree, no longer resembling the delicate, adorable little dumpling she once was.
When Xiao Mei floated over, she also saw this scene and screamed in fright.
Even though she tried her best to float over, she couldn't catch the little dumpling that had suddenly turned into a tree.
Juechen and Wangchen were also shocked by this scene.
The two old Taoist priests rubbed their eyes, still unable to believe it.
Wang Chen: "Is this Tuan Tuan's true form?"
Juechen: "Little Tuantuan is so adorable and endearing, you'd be more like a giant panda. You're saying she's a tree? I don't believe it."
Wang Chen: "Senior brother! Look again, this is no ordinary tree, it's a Jianmu tree, a divine tree! A divine tree from the Classic of Mountains and Seas!"
However, the Jianmu tree in front of them was a miniature version.
Gu Jinghuai stepped forward and gently patted the Jianmu tree: "Tuantuan?"
Even though Gu Jinghuai called out, there was still no response.
Xiao Mei was not giving up and called out Tuan Tuan's name, but there was still no response.
Juechen and Wangchen were also startled.
How did Tuantuan turn into a tree?
"Why isn't she reacting at all? Could she be under some kind of cursed magic?"
Gu Jinghuai frowned and walked around the Jianmu tree a few times, a familiar feeling welling up in his heart.
He looked at the Jianmu tree and felt as if he were seeing himself in it.
According to the old man in the painting, he is the Jianmu tree, and Tuantuan is the witch.
So here's the question: why did Tuantuan turn into the Jianmu Tree?
Gu Jinghuai took out his phone and called Gu Hongwen to tell him about the situation.
"Grandpa, what can I do to bring Tuantuan back?" Gu Jinghuai's voice was hoarse, and his tone was very low.
"Jinghuai, don't panic. Grandpa is going there by car now. Remember, stay calm. Everyone is lucky, and nothing will happen to you."
“Okay, Grandpa, I’ll wait for you. When you come, please bring the painting from my room. I have something to ask the person in the painting.”
“Okay, Jinghuai, Grandpa will be there now.”
After ending the call, Gu Jinghuai took a deep breath and said to Juechen, "Master Juechen, could you please go to the Taoist temple and invite Uncle Yang over?"
When Tuan Tuan got into trouble, Yang Jinchuan had the right to know the situation immediately.
Perhaps Yang Jinchuan can awaken Tuantuan.
"Okay, I'll go right now." Juechen took off running, half walking and half running, to find Yang Jinchuan.
...
Before long, Yang Jinchuan, upon learning of Tuantuan's accident, rushed over there as fast as he could.
I looked around but didn't see the little baby I've been longing for.
Yang Jinchuan was extremely anxious. Looking around and not seeing Tuantuan, he became even more worried: "Where is my daughter? Master Juechen, didn't you say Tuantuan was in trouble? Where is she? Where is she?"
Gu Jinghuai pointed to the small tree in front of him: "Uncle Yang, Tuantuan is here."
Wang Chen: "Mr. Yang, Tuan Tuan suddenly turned into a tree without me even realizing it. She was just walking along when she suddenly transformed..."
They tried to stop them, but they couldn't.
Yang Jinchuan's taut nerves snapped at that moment: "Impossible!"
How can Tuantuan turn into a tree?
Yang Jinchuan stared at the tree in front of him, unable to believe his eyes.
"Tuantuan, can you hear Daddy?"
"Tuantuan, how can Daddy live without you?"
Yang Jinchuan's eyes welled up with tears.
Having lost his wife and daughter, and finally finding his daughter again, Yang Jinchuan is now facing this situation, and he is on the verge of collapse.
Gu Jinghuai wanted to comfort Yang Jinchuan, but the words wouldn't come out. His feelings were exactly the same as Yang Jinchuan's; neither of them could accept this fact.
Yang Jinchuan wept bitterly, recounting the moments he and his daughter had shared over the past few days, trying to awaken Tuantuan and bring her back.
A gentle breeze blew through the mountains, rustling the Jianmu trees, and Yang Jinchuan was in tears.
...
When Gu Hongwen arrived, the group was still sitting under the Jianmu tree, waiting for a miracle to happen.
"Grandpa!" Gu Jinghuai rushed over when he saw his grandfather arrive.
"Grandpa, where's the painting?"
Gu Hongwen took out the painting and handed it to Gu Jinghuai.
Gu Jinghuai opened the painting and asked anxiously, "Take a look and see what happened to Tuantuan. How did she turn into a Jianmu tree?"
The old man in the painting floated out and landed on the ground.
Upon seeing the Jianmu tree, the old man knelt down with a thud, excitedly looking up to the sky and exclaiming, "Heavenly Dao, you have opened your eyes! My master is coming back!"
Everyone: ? ? ?
Where did this crazy old man come from? What is he babbling about?
Yang Jinchuan grabbed the old man, but his hand passed right through his body, and he couldn't get away.
Xiao Mei rushed forward: "Dad Yang, let him go, let me handle this!"
Xiao Mei grabbed the old man's beard, glaring at him angrily: "What nonsense are you spouting? Tuantuan isn't your master. Even if you want Tuantuan to be your master, I won't agree!"
The old man's beard ached from being pulled so hard, and he glared angrily at Xiao Mei: "[She's not my master! She's really paving the way for my master, humph!]"
The old man's words made Gu Jinghuai frown.
He stepped forward, his deep eyes gleaming coldly, staring intently at the old man: "What are you saying!"
