Chapter 60: Him and Them

"He's in league with the Yin Dragon. Ji Huanxi's words echoed in Wei Lai's ears.

Wei Lai was a little distracted for a while, and he always felt that something was wrong.

"Childe, I'll drag him down, and you go and solve the problem of that tree. Our time is running out, don't hesitate!" Ji Huanxi said with heavy eyes, and the golden pendant was held in her hand again.

After saying that, Ji Huanxi pressed the golden pendant to the center of her eyebrows, the golden flame mark appeared in the center of her eyebrows, and her huge eyes slowly opened behind her.

The art of burning the sky with red eyes!

Seeing this, Wei Lai looked up at the dense yin qi around him, it was difficult for him to guess what kind of situation was outside Tonglin, but people's hearts were not aligned, even if they could resist some time, but if they didn't get the news from Tonglin for a long time, under the threat of the continuous condensation of the yin dragon, would anyone have two hearts.

Wei Lai knew that Ji Huanxi was right, and their time was wrong.

Seeing that Wang Daoan and Ji Huanxi, who had hideous expressions, were fighting together, Wei Lai could only temporarily suppress some of the uneasiness in his heart, and stepped forward with heavy eyes.

At that time, his hand gently pressed on the huge trunk of the ancient tree, his eyes closed, and he secretly urged the few golden divinities in his body, trying to sense the will of the ancient tree as he did last time.

Yes.

The tree had spiritual roots as rumored, and in a sense he should be counted as a dryad.

The last time he transmitted the divinity of this ancient tree, Wei Lai had felt his will, although it was only a quick glance, but Wei Lai felt a certain emotion that was close to human from the ancient tree's will—reluctance.

But whether that reluctance was related to the people of Gutong City, or his own life, Wei Lai had no way of knowing.

And now, of course, when he calmed down again to feel the ancient tree, Wei Lai was suddenly shocked!

Anger!bloodthirsty!hatred!fear!

A series of breaths so strong that they almost engulfed Wei Lai's mind enveloped Wei Lai, and Wei Lai almost lost his mind.

With a shudder, he withdrew his palm from the trunk of the ancient tree, and his eyes opened at that time.

"What's wrong?" Ji Huanxi dodged an incoming blood light, and then summoned Lingyan to defeat several Yin Spirits who were killing Wei Lai from everywhere, and asked Wei Lai loudly in his mouth.

"A little trouble. Wei Lai replied softly, then his eyebrows sank, and he stabilized his mind and pressed his hand on the trunk again.

This time, Wei Lai was not in a hurry to teleport his divinity to the ancient tree, and the contact he had just made him realize that if he wanted to get out of the predicament in front of him, it seemed that it was not possible to solve it by healing the ancient tree, at least he had to figure out what was going on first.

He used most of his power to wrap his mind, but Rao was so, when he touched the will of the ancient tree, those negative emotions like a tsunami still made Wei Lai dizzy, and he almost fell to the ground. But fortunately, after a few breaths, he gritted his teeth and stabilized his mind, and then he continued to feel the will in the ancient tree's body.

All kinds of violent emotions were rampant in the body of the ancient tree, and Wei Lai had some doubts in his heart after he was surprised at first. According to Yu Tong, this ancient tree has been here since 700 years ago, suppressing the Yin Dragon underground, where did he get so violent that he would almost engulf a normal person's mind?

Wei Lai couldn't figure it out, but in order to solve the predicament in front of him, he gritted his teeth, opened his mind, and took the initiative to face the violent emotions that were surging in the ancient tree's body - only in this way could he figure out what was going on.

Rumble!

However, the moment his mind touched the violent emotion, a roar sounded in his mind, and it was accompanied by bursts of sharp pain like a knife cutting a sword.

Wei Lai endured the discomfort that almost tore him apart, and carefully sensed the fragmented memories wrapped in those violent emotions-

He saw corpses all over the ground, from babies in swaddling clothes to old men on the verge of death, all of whom had fallen on a wide plain. It was raining, and the blood and the rain were mixed together, and they flowed together into a stream, and spread into the distance.

He saw women being dragged out of the house, their clothes torn, and men in armor surrounding them, eating them like wolves eating lambs.

He also saw butcher knives held aloft and heads tumbling down. The cries of the children, the sobs of the women, the swearing of the men, and many more wails mingled together in a purgatory-like scene......

Such a tragic situation made Rao is self-esteem that Wei Lai, who thought that his heart was already unusual, couldn't help but turn pale and his mind was turbulent after seeing it......

But where did a tree come from, Wei Lai thought in confusion.

Suddenly, his heart moved—this was not the memory of this ancient tree, it was the memory of those ghosts, those ghosts of the Yu family who died seven hundred years ago!

"Save ...... Save...... He...... They. “

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Wei Lai's mind.

The voice was choppy, and while the pronunciation was standard, it was distinctly jerky. It's like a babbling child piecing together the sentences he wants to say with syllables that he is not familiar with.

"Who are you?" Wei Lai asked in his mind, not believing that Fang Cai's voice was a hallucination of his own making.

"Kiri...... Tung tree. The voice spoke again.

"You're this ancient tree!" Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses: "They, who do you want me to save?"

He ...... They. The voice spoke, but the answer was one of constant ambiguity.

Wei Lai frowned, it was difficult for him to get any useful information from the other party's words: "I don't know who you want me to save, but only by solving your troubles first and suppressing the Yin Dragon can we have a glimmer of life, no matter who you want me to save, you have to let me save you first!"

Saying that, Wei Lai's heart sank, so that the divinity in his body could be transferred to the body of the ancient tree at that time.

But unexpectedly, Wei Lai's divinity had just entered the body of the tung tree, and a force came from the tung tree, forcing Wei Lai's divinity out.

Then the voice of the ancient tree also sounded again: "Save ...... Save him...... They. ”

He didn't seem to be proficient in human language, but Wei Lai heard a certain unmistakable determination in his stammering sentences.

"Are you threatening me?" Wei Lai asked with a deep eye. He was a little annoyed, but the situation at the moment doomed him to be controlled by others.

"Yes. The voice replied this time very simply, and it didn't seem to have the slightest bit of shame and weakness that a normal person should have.

"But, I don't know who you want me to save!" Wei Lai was a little upset, and the conversation with Gu Shu was unexpectedly difficult.

He ...... They. Gu Shu said again, still the same answer as before.

Rao is Wei Lai's temperament, and after getting such "nonsense" answers one after another, he can't help but have the urge to scold two swear words. But before he could put such a thought into practice, his heart suddenly moved, and he drove the spiritual power in his body to carefully sense the situation in the ancient tree's body again.

Those violent emotions of all colors were still rampaging through Gu Shu's body, but this time Wei Lai felt something different.

It is not accurate to say that these emotions did not arise from the ancient tree itself or were absorbed from somewhere, but it is not the violent emotions that are rampaging in the ancient tree's body, but the owners of these emotions are surging and entangled in the ancient tree's body.

Thinking of this, Wei Lai once again withdrew his hand that had been placed on the trunk of the tree, and a certain realization rose in his heart, and he looked up at the tall ancient tree in front of him. This time, he could see it clearly, and in the thick trunk that required more than ten people to hug, there were clearly yin spirits wandering and roaring in the trunk, densely crowded together.

"What's the matter?" Ji Huanxi, who had already retreated under Wang Daoan's offensive, asked loudly when he saw Wei Lai's situation.

"Little trouble. Wei Lai responded very perfunctorily.

Ji Huanxi narrowly avoided a killing move from Wang Daoan, but he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. She worked hard for him here, but Wei Lai had a bad attitude, at least in the first eighteen years of Ji Huanxi's life, she had never been treated like this by a person of the opposite sex.

"Childe, if you don't hurry up, you may really want to be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks with Huanxi. Ji Huanxi gritted his silver teeth and whispered.

"I'm afraid I don't have that blessing. Wei Lai replied without replying, and then pressed his hand on the trunk again with heavy eyes.

Ji Huanxi hated her teeth with itching, but looking at Wei Lai's appearance at this moment, she couldn't bother anymore, and she had to grit her teeth while avoiding the attack of this Wang Daoan, while cleaning up the ghosts around Wei Lai who rushed up from time to time.

......

"When you say they, you're referring to these ghosts. ”

"But how can I save them?" Wei Lai, who was once again connected to the will of the ancient tree, asked in a deep voice.

"Get rid of ...... Get out of control...... ...... with your water," the ancient tree's staccato voice sounded again.

Wei Lai didn't have the heart to delve into the ambiguity in this ancient tree's words, he immediately thought of the underworld black water. This thing can absorb the Yin Soul for his own use, but he doesn't know if he has the ability to collect all the 100,000 Yin Souls into the Netherworld Black Water, in fact, when he fought against the nearly 1,000 Yin Souls, he felt that the Netherworld Black Water seemed to have reached the point of saturation.

"I can try, but I can't guarantee ......," Wei Lai said in a deep voice, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the ancient tree.

"Save Him First......"

"Use ...... This ......"

As Gu Shu spoke, a golden thing suddenly poured out of his body, pouring into Wei Lai's body through Wei Lai's palm.

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, he looked inwardly at the extra golden thing in the depths of his Divine Gate - it was a divinity, a divinity the size of a fist, more than the divinity that Wei Lai had spent a lot of time condensing before.

"Save him first, then I can save them again, and then I can save you again. ”

The voice of the ancient tree sounded again, Wei Lai came back to his senses, and looked at the old man who was fighting with Ji Huanxi with a hideous expression on the side, and it was only then that Wei Lai understood that the "he" in the mouth of the ancient tree before was ...... "they" refers to him and them.

......

"What the hell are you doing?"

Ji Huanxi looked at Wei Lai who walked to her side with great dissatisfaction, and stretched out his hand to evoke the spiritual flame barrier again to resist Wang Daoan's attack like a mad demon.

She didn't understand that she had reached this juncture, Wei Lai couldn't solve the problem of the ancient tree, why did she still jump up and down......

"Help me restrain him, I'll have to find a way to get close to him. Wei Lai didn't feel Ji Huanxi's dissatisfaction at all, and said in a deep voice at that time.

He knows his strength very well, although relying on the method of swallowing the dragon with the dove snake, his energy can be described as endless, as long as he is not killed, he can even fight forever, but his own strength is far inferior to Ji Huanxi and Wang Daoan, who beat Ji Huanxi to the point where he only had the power to parry but had no ability to fight back. Therefore, if he wants to get close to Wang Daoan, he must be helped by Ji Huanxi.

It's just that the depression in Ji Huanxi's heart when she heard this can be said to have piled up to the extreme, but she still asked calmly, "What's going on?"

"There's no time to explain, do it!" Wei Lai didn't notice it, he shouted in a deep voice, and his body burst out.

Ji Huan was overjoyed, at this moment she couldn't wait to pull Wei Lai's skin and bones, at this moment she had been fighting with this eccentric old man for nearly half an hour. And now because of Wei Lai's ambiguous words, she has to take risks again, and she doesn't know why she did it from beginning to end, and what is the use of doing it?

It's just that although the anger in his heart is burning, he saw that the young man who rushed out was locked by the old man, and then the blood shot towards the young man. She still had to suppress the anger in her heart, and cast the red pupil burning technique, summoning one spirit flame after another, consuming the small spiritual power in her body to block the attack that was enough to take the other party's life for the young man one by one.

"You all have to die! you all have to die!" Wang Daoan seemed to realize what Wei Lai wanted to do, and his mouth kept letting out a low roar, and the blood light poured towards him more and more violently.

Wei Lai kept approaching the old man without distraction, but Ji Huanxi on the side was miserable, she had to stimulate the spiritual power in her body again and again, and kill those killing moves that attacked Wei Lai before they hurt Wei Lai.

Her aura became more and more unstable, and she had consumed most of her spiritual power when she was protecting Wei Lai's Dharma before, and although she had recovered some of it later, it had already reached the point where she had run out of oil at this moment.

Wei Lai didn't seem to be worried at all that once Ji Huanxi ran out of strength, with his cultivation, being hit by that blood light once would be enough to make him die, he just moved forward with his head bored, ignoring other things.

Of course, this can be understood as absolute trust in Ji Huanxi, but Ji Huanxi prefers to regard it as a kind of inhuman oppression.

She cursed Wei Lai in her heart, but she still kept urging her spiritual power in her hands.

Finally.

After a short period of time, but surprisingly slow.

Wei Lai finally came to the old man's side, his eyes condensed, and a hand reached out and was about to slap at the old man.

"Don't want to hurt him!" the old man looked like a madman, his white hair rose wildly, and one hand suddenly stretched out and roared.

Bang!

A muffled thud rang out.

"Childe!" Ji Huanxi let out an exclamation.

saw that Wei Lai's face turned pale at that moment, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

She didn't have time to think about why Wei Lai did such a thing, and out of subconscious, she hurriedly stepped forward at that time, wanting to come to the rescue.

But at this moment, a fierce color flashed in Wei Lai's eyes, who were pale.

And then......

The golden light suddenly lit up between his palms and the old man's face, and the light was as sacred as fire, dazzling.

Ji Huanxi's eyes tingled under that light, and she had to close her eyes, and after a few breaths, she opened them again.

She caught a glimpse of Wei Lai, who had fallen to the ground, only a few feet away from her. The skin on the boy's naked upper body was torn by the friction against the ground, blood was spilling everywhere, his face was pale, and his eyes were closed.

"Childe. Ji Huanxi called lightly, and quickly came to Wei Lai's side, reaching out to help him up.

She gently shook the boy's body, but the boy seemed to fall into a coma, his eyes still closed.

Ji Huanxi's heart was a little flustered for no reason, she frowned, and her voice was raised a few points by her: "Childe!"

The boy's eyes were still closed, and there was no response.

Ji Huanxi's brows furrowed even deeper, her heart was in a mess, but she instinctively blamed it on Wei Lai's death, as if the predicament in front of her would turn into a dead end. But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out and placed it on top of Wei Lai's head.

The hand was thin, shriveled, and wrinkled, like an old tree.

Ji Huanxi was shocked, and when she looked up, it was Wang Daoan, the old man who had just fought with her.

"You!" Out of instinct, Ji Huanxi's hand suddenly condensed a raging spiritual flame, and then he was about to bang it to the old man.

"The internal organs are damaged, and the qi and blood are surging. But his physical body is different from ordinary people, and I have injected him with some paulownia divinity, and he will soon recover. But then the old man's voice suddenly sounded.

Ji Huanxi was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the old man in front of her did not have the murderous aura he had before, and the expression on his face became peaceful and calm. She vaguely realized that this seemed to be Wei Lai's purpose.

But Ji Huanxi is not a person who can easily let down her vigilance against people, she temporarily put away the spiritual flame around her, but her eyes are still staring at the old man: "Then why don't you accept the enchantment and let us go." ”

The old man shook his head: "Although I opened the barrier, the power did not come from me, and I have no way to take it back. ”

Such a statement did not satisfy Ji Huanxi, she raised her eyebrows, and was about to say something.

"Girl, don't worry...... But at this time, the young man who was held in her arms slowly opened his eyes and said with some difficulty.

After saying this, Wei Lai reluctantly stood up again, looked at the old man who had returned to normal in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "He is his own person......"

"My own people?" Ji Huanxi's brows furrowed, and his tone suddenly became strange: "Childe is really kind-hearted, anyone can be regarded as his own." ”

Wei Lai's head was still a little dizzy, but he also noticed the strangeness in Ji Huanxi's tone, he turned his head to look, only to find that because he had been weak, he subconsciously put his hand on Ji Huanxi's shoulder at this moment, such an act was inevitably a little abrupt and Meng Lang. Wei Lai was agitated and hurriedly withdrew his hand.

Ji Huanxi smiled faintly, and no longer embarrassed Wei Lai about this matter, but asked: "Then what should we do next, according to this old gentleman, it seems that he can't take back the enchantment, and Childe's move seems to be in vain." ”

When Wei Lai heard this, he also knew that Ji Huanxi had misunderstood his original intention. He didn't explain, looked at the old man and said, "Old man, we have to find a way to save this tung tree, you are a forest keeper, you must know more than us." The Ancient Tree once said that I should save those ghosts together before I could be healed...... But now that time is pressing, I am not sure that I can let 100,000 Yin Souls escape from the clutches of the Yin Dragon, can I persuade it, let me want to solve the current trouble, about Yin Souls, I promise that I will find a way to rescue them one by one in the future. ”

Wei Lai said this very sincerely, he thought that coupled with his previous pleasant friendship with the old man, he could shake the old man a little.

But who knew that Wang Daoan's face changed suddenly when he heard this, he looked up at the withered ancient tree in front of him, his body trembled, and he whispered: "You can't save it......"

"It'...... It's dying. ”
