Chapter 639: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 11
Being blocked by Ning Caichen, the tree demon seized the opportunity and immediately cut off the burning branches and vines. Although she lost a lot of power, she finally stopped the fire from burning.
Having missed the best opportunity, it was useless for Ruyi to be angry. The cunning tree demon retracted all its branches into the soil, leaving only its body that was not afraid of fire. There was also a half-dead Nie Xiaoqian blocking the front.
"My true body has long been tempered by me to be not afraid of burning by ordinary fire. No matter how powerful your fireball is, it is nothing but ordinary fire. As long as I use my magic power to protect my true body, you can't do anything even if you want to destroy me."
The tree demon grandma seemed to be laughing smugly at the angry and helpless Ruyi, but in fact she was just testing him. Of course, what she said was not entirely true. No matter how high the tree demon grandma's cultivation was, her body was a tree and so it would die if burned by fire. Even if it was ordinary fire, as long as the fire was big enough and burned long enough, it would die anyway.
Even if she can use her magic power to protect her body, the magic power will eventually be exhausted. At that time, the tree demon will be burned to death by the mortal fire.
But unfortunately, Ruyi didn't know. After listening to the words of the tree demon grandma, Ruyi really believed it. After all, she was born in a new world where "spirits are not allowed to be created after the founding of the country", and she knew very little about monsters, gods, ghosts and so on.
Considering that he had already used up a lot of merit to activate the fireball spell, if he continued to stalemate, he might lose money, so Ruyi did not insist any longer. However, he could not retreat just like that. Ruyi once again made a spell-casting gesture, pointed at the tree demon's body and said: "Your body is a tree, and trees are afraid of fire. Even if you can use your magic power to protect your body, I don't believe that you can protect it forever with your thousand-year-old magic power!"
"Hmph! Then I'd like to see whether the fire you set lasts long enough or my magic power can protect them long enough!" The tree demon grandma and Ruyi were testing each other, and neither of them was willing to show weakness, for fear that once they did, the other would see through their true colors of being weak inside.
Ning Caichen was standing aside in a dilemma. He wanted to say something to persuade the tree demon to let Nie Xiaoqian go, but he didn't dare to get close. He wanted to ask Ruyi for help in rescuing Nie Xiaoqian, but he realized that his sudden intervention before had caused Ruyi to lose the opportunity.
Just when Ning Caichen didn't know what to do, a sword beam pierced through the Yin energy behind him and went straight towards the body of the tree demon that was holding Nie Xiaoqian. It looked like it was going to kill Nie Xiaoqian as well.
"No, Xiaoqian!"
Ning Caichen was shocked, and he didn't know where he got the courage from, but he suddenly jumped in front of Nie Xiaoqian. Yan Chixia, who had drawn his sword, saw Ning Caichen was horrified, and in order not to hurt Ning Caichen by mistake, he had to change the sword style. However, the attack was too fierce, and he couldn't retract it, and it hit the trunk of the old lady hard.
"Ouch!" Yan Chixia screamed in pain. Before he could react, the owner of the tree trunk directly transformed into vines and tied up Yan Chixia, the prey who had fallen into the trap.
"You can ignore this bitch, a female ghost who harms people, but you won't also ignore this Taoist priest over here, right?" Through the pure spiritual energy and power of merit emanating from Ruyi when he took action, the tree demon grandma quickly judged that Ruyi was following the orthodox path of practice. Usually, monks who follow the orthodox path of practice will never disregard the lives of ordinary people.
"..."
Things happened so fast that Ruyi was a little confused. Looking at the old man who was tied tightly to the tree demon's body with vines, countless ellipsis flashed through Ruyi's mind.
Judging from his attire and appearance, this little old man must be Yan Chixia. But isn’t it said that Yan Chixia is very strong? How could he be caught so easily?
"Forget it..." Ruyi had completely given up hope of killing the tree demon today. "Tell me, what do you want to do now?"
"Girl, people like me who practice cultivation have already put life and death aside. Don't worry about me. Killing demons and eliminating evil is the real thing!" Ruyi compromised. Before her grandmother spoke, the 'hostage' couldn't help but speak first.
"Shut up!" The tree demon was originally thinking about how to use the two 'hostages' in her hands to torture Ruyi, but after being treated like this by Yan Chixia, she suddenly didn't dare to do it anymore. If she failed, and this guy really wanted to die together with her, she might not be able to withstand it.
Yan Chixia's mouth was trapped by the vines and he couldn't make a sound. He didn't know who this woman was, but from what he overheard before, Yan Chixia knew that Ruyi was definitely not a bad person. In order not to become an obstacle to her exorcism, Yan Chixia secretly bit his tongue, forced out blood, and silently chanted the spell: "The sky and the earth are boundless, the sword method of Qiankun, the Taishang Laojun is as urgent as the law, go!"
As the spell was finished, Yan Chixia emanated a layer of golden light from his body, and all the vines were suddenly blown off. He escaped from the control of his grandmother and came to Ruyi.
"Girl, everyone is entitled to kill the evil spirits and monsters. Let's attack together!"
“How dare you!” Yan Chixia’s escape made the tree demon grandma panic for a while. Seeing that the situation was not favorable for me, I immediately pulled Nie Xiaoqian in front of me and said, “Ning Caichen, you bitch, don’t you want me anymore!”
"Xiao Qian! Taoist Priest, Miss Song, please save Xiao Qian!"
"Xiao Qian didn't do it voluntarily. It was the tree demon who held her ashes, preventing her from reincarnating. She didn't harm anyone, so don't let her soul fly away!"
Ning Caichen came to beg again, and Yan Chixia was softened by Ning Caichen's request, and the hand holding the sword loosened.
It was getting darker, and the sun was about to set. At night, the tree demon grandma's magic power would be restored, and the situation would be reversed. Ruyi saw Yan Chixia was obviously shaken, and without hesitation, he said to Yan Chixia: "Okay, Taoist priest, let's let her go this time."
The master wanted to refuse, but after seeing Ruyi's expression, he realized that it was getting dark, so he said, "Humph, if you want us to let you go, you can do it. Hand over the urn of this female ghost!"
The tree demon grandma was already seriously injured because of her own broken vines, and was then hit by Yan Chixia's breakaway. Now she is already at the end of her strength and is waiting to go back at night to heal her wounds. As long as Xiaoqing invites the Black Mountain Old Demon over, then both Ruyi and the old Taoist priest will become her healing tonic.
Thinking of this, the tree demon grandma didn't delay and directly rolled out a green urn from the ground and threw it in front of Ning Caichen, "Here, here you go, can you leave now?"
Was it so easy to get it? Ruyi was a little unconvinced, but seeing Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen happily holding the urn and about to leave, Ruyi rolled her eyes helplessly and followed them.
"Forget it. No matter if it's Nie Xiaoqian's urn or not, I have to come again tomorrow anyway."
The three did not go down the mountain, but returned to Lanruo Temple again. Ruyi ignored the plot between the male protagonist and the male supporting actor. She went back to her previous room without looking back, closed the door, took out the RV and went in to rest.
On the other side, Ning Caichen entered the room with Yan Chixia holding the urn. On the way, Ning Caichen told Yan Chixia what happened between him and Nie Xiaoqian. Although Yan Chixia advised that "humans and ghosts have different paths", he was still moved by the love between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian and decided to help them.
