The cold wind howled through the mountains and forests without any response.
The tree demon grandma didn't dare to say much, and still bent slightly and waited.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long.
There was a rustling sound in the woods, as if something was walking towards this side on the fallen leaves.
Then, a thin voice said, "Sir asked you to follow me."
Another clear voice continued, "Follow us, follow us."
A maid in white clothes following behind the tree demon grandma couldn't help but look up curiously and couldn't help but exclaimed:
The two little boys holding lanterns were talking in the front. They were wearing the same green cloth robes, and their hair was combed into two small buns like little book boys in the human world. They had round cheeks and were very cute.
She didn't expect that the famous Black Mountain Demon would actually use such a little boy to serve him.
The tree demon grandmother glared at her warningly and said, "This is a puppet."
When the maidservant in white heard this, she took a closer look and discovered that the child's subtle movements were unnatural.
The two children didn't care about the inner thoughts of the people behind them. They just held the lantern and led the way for them.
The tree demon grandma and others didn't dare to say much and followed quietly behind.
On the way, all kinds of thoughts flashed through the tree demon grandma's mind: unless it was necessary, she was not willing to deal with a monster like Heishan who was much more powerful than herself.
It's just that she met an old enemy some time ago and they had a fight. The old enemy got help from some unknown magic weapon and seriously injured her.
That old enemy would not let her go, so she could only find a more powerful monster to attach herself to before the enemy found her.
The mysterious Lord of Black Mountain became her best choice.
If you want to be blessed, you naturally need to please him.
She didn't know what Heishan liked. He had lived in Heishan for many years, so she couldn't find out anything about his preferences.
But the other party is a male monster. Human men only like strength, power and beauty, so monsters must not be much different.
Not to mention other things under her command, there have always been many beautiful witches and ghost girls.
This time, she had picked eight beautiful maids in advance to accompany her. If one or two of them could be favored by the Lord of Black Mountain, the rest of the problems would be solved easily.
The maids who came with her also knew their tasks.
They were both nervous and excited. They were nervous because they were afraid that if the Lord of Black Mountain was cruel and brutal, they might not have a good ending.
The excitement comes from the expectation that if they can get the mercy of a powerful demon, they won’t have to live under the control of the tree demon anymore.
The tree demon grandma in Lanruo Temple is not a good person.
The boy leading the way suddenly stopped and said in a clear voice, "We're here."
The other boy took three steps forward and threw the lamp in his hand to the ground.
The lamp fell to the ground with a loud bang and shattered, turning into several streams of light that landed on the open space in front. It turned out to be a formation.
The boy turned around and said, "Follow me, don't wander around."
He was the first to step onto the starry sky.
The tree demon grandma and others did not dare to be careless and followed the puppet boy cautiously. After about ten steps, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.
The moon, which was originally trapped by dark clouds, broke free and generously spread its light to the world.
The entire exquisite courtyard was shrouded in silver light, the gate was wide open, the fences on both sides were as green as jade, and the clear and joyful laughter of a young girl came from the yard.
Such a peaceful and beautiful scenery made the tree demon grandma a little confused.
The scene she imagined of meeting the Lord of Black Mountain was not what it should be like.
But she did not dare to relax her vigilance at all, and quietly led her people into the courtyard.
The courtyard is not big, paved with neat bluestone slabs. In the left corner of the courtyard, there is a peach tree (which Qingluo likes). Under the peach tree is a stone table, and two figures are sitting in front of the table.
A young man in a black robe and a pretty girl in green.
Seeing them, the man smiled and said, "The guests have arrived, go prepare tea."
The girl in green did not move, and the boy who had led the way earlier responded crisply, "Yes, sir."
Jiang Lin was surprised, because in all the film and television images related to A Chinese Ghost Story that he had seen, the tree demon grandma was always the villain, and she had the title of "grandma", and the actors who played her were all old and vicious.
But the woman in front of him, who was leading the group and was wearing a dark robe, had a face as white as lotus and skin as white as snow. She looked even more charming than the eight maids behind her who were wearing plain white clothes.
But if you think about it more carefully, it is true that the monsters never age after they transform, especially the tree monsters, which are a long-lived race. It is rather strange that they transform into the image of an old woman.
Little did he know that he was surprised that the tree demon grandma and her group were even more surprised than he was when they saw the famous Black Mountain Demon.
Although the Lord of Black Mountain rarely appears in public, all the rumors about him are related to words such as "powerful", "brutal" and "gloomy".
But who could have imagined that when she came here today, she would meet the Lord of Black Mountain, who had an elegant and even handsome appearance and a gentle and indifferent temperament, in an elegant and quiet courtyard
If the other party had not been sitting in the territory of Black Mountain at this moment, and if there had not been a hint of aura leaking out of him intentionally or unintentionally, she would have thought that this was in the backyard of some wealthy young man in the human world.
Even the tree demon was so shocked, not to mention the maid behind her: I thought the Lord of Black Mountain was a cruel and sinister demon, but now it seems that he is so elegant and gentle. If I could get his favor...
For a moment, Lanruo's maids' eyes flickered and their minds were filled with different thoughts.
The tree demon grandmother collected her thoughts, walked forward, bowed and said, "Lanruo Temple tree demon Huaiyin, greets the Black Mountain King."
Jiang Lin nodded casually: "I named myself Jiang Lin, you can call me Mr. or Mr. Jiang."
The tree demon grandmother changed her words: "Huai Yin has met you, sir."
Jiang Lin tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Please sit down."
The tree demon grandmother sat down in front of the stone table. Naturally, the eight maids had no seats, but even if they did, they did not dare to overstep their authority.
A puppet boy came forward to pour tea for Huaiyin.
Qingluo, who had been looking at her with her big eyes blinking, suddenly said, "Sister Huaishu, you are so beautiful."
After saying that, she added: "All the sisters in white are very beautiful too."
She looked very young, and Huaiyin had long seen that her true form was a tree demon. Her aura was rare, pure and transparent, and one could tell at a glance that she was practicing the righteous way.
Huaiyin was unsure of her identity and glanced at Jiang Lin: "This..."
Jiang Lin said: "This is my little girl Qingluo."
Little girl
Haven’t you heard that the Lord of Black Mountain has a daughter
But this is not important. Huaiyin only needs to understand her identity and what attitude she should use to treat the other party.
A warm but not overly enthusiastic smile quickly appeared on her face: "Miss Qingluo is so lovely, you are so lucky."
She was just being polite, but Jiang Lin nodded in agreement: "Yes, Qingluo is the cutest girl in the world."
