After practicing to the Pure Yang Wuji, I found that it was a strange world

Chapter 2 Willow Spirit
Day and night pass, and the sun rises in the east.

After the rain in the empty mountains, the branches and leaves are covered with raindrops, making them look even greener and more lush.

The mountain rain has become lighter, but the fog has become thicker, as if a sea is invading everything.

He Qing opened his eyes on the wooden bed covered with a quilt.

He only slept for three hours last night, but even so, he was full of energy.

The whole house is narrow and quite simple.

There was almost nothing but a wooden bed and a table, on which lay a stack of yellowed talisman paper.

He Qing went out and washed himself with clean water first.

Then brush your teeth with a willow branch dipped in salt.

He Qing picked this willow branch from an extremely huge willow tree.

At that time, seeing the green and attractive willow branches, I was so happy that I picked more.

After brushing his teeth, He Qing started sweeping the fallen leaves in the Taoist temple.

The peonies planted in the backyard for several years are blooming vigorously, with a rich purple color.

The mosses all over the walls indicate that this is a rather old Taoist temple.

Occasionally, you would come across some rats and green snakes wandering around, but He Qing didn't care.

Tao follows nature, and he is almost used to it.

After cleaning up the debris, He Qing took some fruits and hard cakes to eat.

Eating dry biscuits and drinking spring water, He Qing felt that life was boring.

I guess he was used to eating delicious food in his previous life.

After arriving here, even though I'm used to it, I can't help but feel discouraged.

"The old Taoist priest left on his own, but left me here."

"It seems I have to find some people to look after the temple, and go out for a walk myself."

Thinking of this, He Qing couldn't help but worry again.

After all, he has completely understood the surrounding environment, which is considered a safe area.

But he had no idea what the environment outside was like.

He Qing has not come into contact with many people, but he has some general understanding of this world.

There are monks, demons, and monsters in this world.

But the most terrifying thing is the weirdness.

Where the weirdness came from and when it started remains a mystery to this day.

But every weirdness is something extremely terrifying and no one can erase it.

The news He Qing got from everyone was weird and terrifying.

"I have only practiced an ordinary Qi-nourishing technique, which is probably considered weak among cultivators. How can I deal with the weirdness?"

He Qing was a bit suspicious by nature, but he could only suppress the impulse in his heart.

Compared with all these eating, drinking and having fun, your own life is more important.

Seeing the rain and fog, He Qing looked towards the mountain path in the lush forest in the distance.

People pass by there from time to time.

In the past two years, Qingping County seems to be becoming more and more prosperous.

The mountain road below Chunyang Temple is also passed by people almost every day.

However, Chunyang Temple is quite far from the mountain road, and few people come to the Taoist temple to rest.

On the contrary, there is a dilapidated mountain temple on the mountain road, which seems to enshrine the mountain god of Lishan. It is a good place to rest.

Beyond that, the village is even further away.

It takes He Qing an hour to walk to a village.

That village is extraordinary. Everyone in it is extremely powerful and is willing to do anything to kill evil. It is isolated from the outside world and is like a paradise.

Although the villagers there were vicious, He Qing had never encountered any trouble and was instead treated as an honored guest.

Occasionally, you can get some spiritual objects such as hundred-year-old ginseng from it.

The other village is farther away. There are very few people in the mountain village, only dozens of households, most of whom are elderly widows and widowers.

He Qing found the dry biscuits tasteless.

"Well, let's just take a stroll and go fishing in the stream first."

After catching the fish, I would go to the official road to see if there were any caravans passing by, and also buy some seasonings and drinks.

The drinks during this period were not strong, and the rice wine was mellow, like a beverage.

Do it when you think of it.

He Qing closed the Taoist temple's simple and ancient gate and locked it with a copper lock.

Then he went down the mountain briskly.

He was wearing a plain white Taoist robe, and besides that was a long sword that had not been unsheathed for a long time. He Qing had learned some sword techniques.

The Taoist priest who adopted him was also a knight when he was young.

He often told He Qing stories about his chivalrous deeds, making friends everywhere, and his philandering.

He also taught He Qing some swordsmanship.

But I have only learned it and never put it into practice, so it can only be considered a fake trick.

Along the winding mountain road, branches are dense in all directions and rain is dripping down.

He Qing didn't get any water anywhere.

As soon as the rain fell on it, it vaporized into mist and mixed with the surrounding smoke.

After walking out of the stone steps, climb a small hill.

Standing on a blue stone, He Qing could suddenly see the rolling mountains and the magnificent mountains and rivers.

In addition, a willow tree as big as a hill was located on a hillside.

He Qing first had to go to the willow tree and cut some branches and trunks.

The branches of this willow tree are very useful.

Your mouth will smell fresh after brushing your teeth.

The same goes for the tree trunk, which is as tough as iron.

"A tree this big must be hundreds or even thousands of years old. I wonder if it has become a spirit?"

"Probably not, otherwise why didn't you resist every time I chopped you down?"

The mountain walls are steep, with short trees and vines everywhere.

There are also some snakes and squirrels standing on the branches.

There was a giant snake several meters long hiding in the vines, and He Qing almost didn't see it.

The big snake glanced at He Qing, then dived into the forest with a whoosh, leaving a long mark on the ground.

Using his hands and feet, He Qing climbed down the mountain and came to the willow tree.

The willow branches were as green as jade, with dewdrops flowing on them, sparkling and colorful.

The tree canopy is like a cover, blocking out the sky and the sun.

Standing in it is like being in a kingdom of willow branches.

Snapped!
He Qing picked a bunch of willow branches.

Snapped!
Another one.

Then another straight tree trunk was broken.

Wrap the soft and fragrant willow branches around your waist and hold the trunk in your hands.

He Qing then left.

It was a long time after He Qing left before a woman in green walked out from the willow tree.

The woman's face looked aggrieved, and she began to shed tears, like a willow branch wet with dew.

"What a devil! He keeps breaking my branches. It hurts so much."

Willow Spirit felt very aggrieved.

Not only did she have to endure the pain that was like being burned by the scorching sun when He Qing was practicing.

And the willow branches will be broken.

The rest of the goblins were able to escape.

But she does.
She is just a willow tree.

Thinking about having to endure such days forever, Liu Jing couldn't help feeling depressed and started to cry again.

"If you come again next time, I will..."

Liu Jing wanted to fight to the death with He Qing.

But every time I thought of the scene during my practice, I felt fear in my heart and could only endure it.

"Woo."

There were wailing cries coming from the mountains, which were sad and miserable.

He Qing listened and became cautious.

"This cry is obviously from a spirit. I have to be more cautious."

"If this monster wants to harm me, I'm afraid I can only fight it to the death."

In this area, He Qing was not that scared.

After all, I have lived here for ten years.

After crossing another hill, a waterfall suddenly appeared in front of us, with crystal clear water droplets scattering all over the sky.

There is a clear stream under the waterfall.
