I saw that the old man was a very old man, and I should know some secret history. His voice suddenly softened a lot: "old man, did the God of the tree ever give power?"

The old man looked at me and nodded for a long time: "that was when I was very young. In order to promote production, the village decided to open a mountain and farm. At that time, all the young men went up the mountain and cut all the way to the God of trees. As a result, they only cut two axes to change the color of heaven and earth, and never came back to the mountain. Later, I heard from the old people in the village that the God of trees has spirit and has been guarding the land here for thousands of years. If you respect it, it will protect you. If you offend it, it will blood wash all the surrounding land. Sure enough, after a series of accidents in the village, there will always be someone inexplicably missing, and then he was found hanging in the tree the next day. People were frightened, and spontaneously took the tribute to worship the tree god. Gradually, the village returned to its former calm, and there was a big harvest of food every year. Nothing happened again. "

The old man said that, pointing to the mountain, he said: "at the beginning, the trees were almost cut down. What you see now are the later ones. Alas! Human beings only value their own interests, how can they manage the survival of a group of trees? "

The old man sighed a long time.

In order to prevent them from making trouble, I asked laofei and Dashu to stare at them. The next day, at dawn, the black heart monk took us to the mountain. This time, Dasu opened a trencher, followed by the people of Xiaolin village. They were curious and worried.

When he arrived at the middle of the mountain, the black heart monk checked the tree demon and found that there was nothing unusual, he sat down quietly and surpassed the spirits buried under the tree demon.

It was so easy that at noon, Dawu started digging with a trencher.

trenching machine is not like shovel, it is inevitable to destroy the roots of the tree. The tree devil is sending out a series of sad and unwilling hissing. Frightened people in Xiaolin village quickly kneel down and beg for mercy. They also pointed to big Su and shouted, "you have offended the God of the tree, and you will die without burial. Stop it!"

But Dasu turned a deaf ear and said firmly in her eyes, "death is death, and death will deal with this scourge!"

I exchanged a look with Lao Fei, and saw the same firmness of regenerating in Da Su's eyes. Old fat jumped on the trencher: "brother, die together!"

What to do? I began to doubt their relationship again.

with the help of a trenching machine, we soon dug up a huge pit. Then I jumped into the pit with T-shirt man and shovel it with a spade. Not only did the stone tablet appear, but also a small temple was excavated behind the stone.

The temple is well preserved because it is buried underground. Although it is not big, it is all made of stone. The style should have been a long time, like it came from the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The black heart monk also jumped down and observed carefully in front of the stone tablet. After only two lines, his face changed greatly and he knelt on the ground with a splash.

I don't understand T-shirt man's face, and wait for black heart monk to finish reading, then climb to the pit with him.

Black heart and Shangdao: "I finally know the origin of the tree demon."

He sighed and said: "the inscription on the stone tablet is clear and clear. In the past, the Bodhidharma master made a pilgrimage to the East, determined to travel all over the mountains and rivers of China, taste the sufferings of the people, become a ascetic monk first, and then a Buddha. When I came to Xiaolin village, I saw the scorched earth everywhere and the people were dying, so I set up a one meter long and wide pocket temple here, and inserted the crutches that accompanied me for decades into the soil, praying for the Buddha to pity the people. At the next moment, it rained heavily, and the crutches took root and sprouted on the spot, and grew into trees. Here, too, they became trees and blessed the village. The ancestors of Xiaolin village set up a stone tablet to commemorate the founder of Dharma, indicating the origin of the temple

"Later, as time went by, the temple was gradually buried under the soil, and the big tree grew larger and larger. As time went by, the temple became a demon, which wasted the efforts of the ancestors..."

After hearing this, the people in Xiaolin village looked at each other in surprise.

The black heart monk continued: "Amitabha! Originally, the tree demon and the small forest village coexisted peacefully, but human's greed for nature is limitless. For money, we need to wipe out the mountains, for development, we need to cut down the forests, which leads to the tragedy. "

The T-shirt man asked nervously, "what can I do now?"

"Since the tree has become a demon, it must be eliminated, or it will always be a disaster." The black heart monk summoned the big black bear again, listened to him for a while, and then said: "Father Bear told me that the five elements of the way, fire can kill wood, simply put the fire to burn the whole forest to prevent innocent people from being killed."

The people cried out in panic, "no! This is the precious heritage left to Xiaolin village by Bodhidharma. You can't burn it casually! "

The black heart monk frowned, like a huge Buddha King Kong, and said: "otherwise, what can we do? Do we keep it to harm people? How many skeletons do you see under its rhizome? Do you know how many people it killed? Do you want all the children and grandchildren of Xiaolin village to live under its threat? "

The people of Xiaolin village just shut up.

Da Su and Lao Fei brought gasoline. We drenched the tree demon and lit the fire. In the light of the fire, we heard the banshees howling and howling.The fire burned until the next day. It rained heavily in the evening. The rain soon put out the fire. But the green of the mountain was gone, leaving only ruins and coke.

I stood in the shed and looked at the hill and sighed.

The black hearted monk who was eating the bottom of the chicken came up and said, "why, sympathize with it?"

"In the end, it's due to human greed. We humans call ourselves the top of the food chain. In fact, in front of nature, we are still too small..." I sighed.

The black heart monk smiled and said, "what do you mean by your words? Do you want to be my disciple

"Ah?" I was startled.

Dashu is lamenting with laofei. After these things, he has decided to give up the idea of developing here. He even plans to buy shares with laofei to do hotel business and never to be an engineering boss again. I listened with great interest and asked about the way to run the hotel.

I got up early the next morning. Before I left here, I walked slowly to the hill. When I came to the hillside, I found that the tree demon had been destroyed. It was very uncomfortable that it was empty here.

Before long, the villagers of Xiaolin village also came to the mountain. Although the God of trees in their hearts was no longer there, they still brought a lot of fruits to sacrifice.

I watched for a moment and was about to leave when I found that the black heart monk didn't know when he rode the black bear to the mountain.

He saw me look low, pulled me to the front, pointed to the ground full of coke and smiled, "look!"

I was shocked to find a green bud growing under the ruins of the tree. In the human self salvation, the tree god was reborn
