Chapter 119: The Old Tree Climbs Its Roots
At this moment, suddenly a cold wind blew down from above us, blowing away the fog around us, and the four of us looked up at the same time, only to find that the towering tree with lush foliage overhead, the branches were windless but swaying, because our attention was all on each other's body just now, so we didn't realize that there was such a lush tree here, and judging from the height and thickness of this tree, it would have grown for at least a hundred years.
"Damn, what kind of tree is this? It grows so well in winter?" the fat man was still the same as before, and he was babbling when he encountered something.
"This is the locust tree...... "I continued to add, looking at the towering ancient tree with pinnate compound leaves, gray-brown bark, streaked bodies, and drooping and swaying branches, "and it's also a ghost claw locust."
Shansheng nodded: "It's indeed the ghost claw locust, this kind of tree grows faster than ordinary trees, and it is also very adaptable, but even if the adaptability is strong, the branches and leaves will not be so lush in this season."
The fat man was puzzled and asked, "What is the ghost claw locust?"
The rabbit fairy circled around the ghost claw locust with his hands behind his back, and said: "The yin qi of this ghost claw locust tree is coming out of the root of the tree, and it is still absorbing yin qi continuously, which causes yin spirits from the vicinity, and the gathering place is in this building, presumably the ghost claw locust tree demon is about to take shape, and is looking for a replacement for humans!"
As the rabbit fairy analyzed, the surrounding fog slowly dissipated, and we clearly saw that hundreds of tiny roots emerged from the root of this thick trunk, and the roots were wrapped around the body of the tree, and those yin and evil breaths were just like he said, it was from this root.
"Old Trees Climb the Roots......"
When Shansheng and the rabbit fairy and I saw everything in front of us, we couldn't help but blurt out in surprise at the same time, only the fat man looked at the three of us inexplicably, and asked suspiciously: "What is the old tree climbing roots?"
My heart was pounding, and I quickly explained:
There is a saying in the demon world called "the old tree climbs the roots, the demon cries and the ghost laughs", which is said to be this kind of ghost claw locust, which grows for hundreds of years If it encounters the fine roots and the yin qi entanglement, then evil things will happen here, it will absorb the yin qi of the nearby yin ghosts, and concentrate the yin qi to cultivate into a tree demon, although it is
This ghost locust tree has not yet become a climate, but if it is not removed quickly, it is estimated that it will gather enough yin qi in another year and a half, and it will definitely become a demon!"
"So powerful?" The fat man reached out in disbelief and was about to touch the trunk of the ghost claw locust, but the rabbit fairy hurriedly knocked it down with a stick and stopped it loudly: "This is a ghost, you don't want to die?"
The fat man rubbed his wrist and said aggrievedly: "Devil is devil! Isn't it murderous!"
I rolled my eyes and whispered helplessly: "I know that you still touch the ghost, forget what I told you that the encounter with the ghost is particularly heavy, either he kills you, or you kill it, there is no third choice?"
The fat man was not angry when I scolded him, and even showed a look of joy, rubbed his palms and stumbled in place a few times, and said cheaply: "Then let's destroy it quickly! What are you waiting for? I can't wait?"
“……”
The three of us were completely speechless, the rabbit fairy rolled his eyes and looked very helpless and took the wooden stick in his hand and hit the fat man's leg and stomach fiercely, the fat man suddenly screamed and howled: "What are you beating me for? If there is yin and evil, you have to deal with it, isn't this what you said to Yangzi? What am I wrong about?
I held the fat man's body and explained kindly: "You don't wait for us to finish talking about it, you have to deal with it, frizz is a big taboo in our industry, don't you know? Otherwise, it's easy to lose your life! You still need to learn a lot of things! You can't eat hot tofu if you're in a hurry."
The fat man knew that he was wrong, rubbed his calf and pouted: "Then you say!
"Although this tree is yin and heavy, it is not the body, it is just a container, and we have been standing for a long time and it has not attacked, which means that it knows that its Tao is not enough, so the first thing we do is to find the body inside, and then destroy it, naturally this tree will not be harmful."
The rabbit fairy pointed at the ghost claw locust with a wooden stick in his hand, and he was like an old scholar who had to analyze the rules, and I couldn't stop nodding in agreement, only the fat man muttered in a low voice: "Then don't you still have to destroy it!" I am not wrong...... Ahh
But when he came into contact with the rabbit fairy's scarlet eyes, he swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach, leaned over to the rabbit fairy with a hippie smile, and said with a flattering face: "Of course, it must be your analysis that is the most correct......!
Enough of the trouble, the four of us entered the building with the heaviest yin qi.
The whole building was very quiet tonight, and all the residents here had already turned off the lights when we came in, but I knew that this was definitely not normal, and the real reason was also because the body of the ghost claw locust had an "enchantment" in this residential building, that is, a barrier, so what happened inside may not be known to others.
The four of us can feel the yin qi that is more infiltrated than the outside when we get into the corridor, and we stand at the door of the east door on the fourth floor in the direction of the yin qi and no longer move forward, this is Lin Xuanxuan's home, and it is also the place where the yin qi gathers the most.
The door was closed, and I gave Shansheng a look, this guy's strength is amazing, so he deserves to be the first person to break the door.
"Bang......!"
After receiving my signal, Shansheng raised his big foot and exerted all his strength, and the whole sole of his foot kicked violently towards the iron security door, and with a loud bang, the iron door fell in response.
The fat man and the rabbit fairy and I gave a thumbs up to Shansheng at the same time, and the other party scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and just as he was about to speak, a goosebump-inducing laugh came from inside the room.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Hahahaha......!"
With this laughter, I could clearly feel a touch of demonic energy gathering in the room, and then a human form slowly appeared in the demonic energy.
This humanoid is surrounded by demonic energy, the face is constantly changing, male and female, old and young, its laughter is also very weird, the old and delicate male voice is mixed with the unique sharpness of women, listening to the four of us eardrums numb, can't help but shoot to block the ears.
......Good ingredients need to be cooked slowly, just like a chef cooking, every process must not be sloppy...... Otherwise, the taste will be greatly reduced......!"
The strange mixed yin sound of men and women came out from the aura of both yin and demon, and as it said more and more, the yin and demon qi finally revealed the figure of a young man after a steady mixture, no longer changing.
This young man is less than 1.8 meters tall, his emaciated figure and face are very distinctive, although he is not ugly, he is not handsome, if it is not surrounded by yin energy, I think it should be no different from a normal person.
Just as I was interacting with the rabbit fairy and Shansheng eyes, and was about to discuss countermeasures, the fat man next to me didn't know which tendon was wrong, and saw him holding the wooden stick that the rabbit fairy gave him, making a gesture of preparing to attack, and yelled:
"Bah......! The bold demon dares to fight with you, do you know what the consequences will be? Why don't you quickly tie down your hands?"
As soon as the word "huh" fell, the three of us were startled, and they all looked at the fat man who was in the same position as an immortal driving a crane, and he was so angry that he almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
The fat man posed for a long time, but because it was a one-legged upright chassis, the chassis was obviously unstable, he shook it for a few times and changed to a horse step posture, stretched out a finger and pointed at the monster who tilted his head in place and continued to say: "I said, you don't understand classical Chinese? Look at your long-standing human appearance, a dog-like nose and eyes, although it is still neither male nor female, but it is still a personal appearance, but what are you doing when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"
“……”
The rabbit fairy closed his eyes, his little hands touched his chin from the door of his head, his expression was extremely painful and he gritted his teeth in annoyance, and I also stared helplessly at this time, here, and this scene and did not forget to pretend to be fat, I couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in, and Tai Nima's shame appeared.
The young man who was surrounded by yin qi listened to the fat man's words, first frowned, and then glanced at the fat man like a scanner up and down, then showed a sinister smile and said, "Hehe...... You're a fat, oily little fat guy who's like a roast suckling pig, it's a good ingredient...... Then I'll start with you."
As soon as the words fell, I saw that its two arms were stretched out and slowly raised on its side, bringing up the surrounding extremely yin and demon gas, and then drew a circle in front of him with one hand, and the yin and demon gas began to gather slowly, and it was about to attack the fat man, the three of us hurriedly prepared to step forward and block in front of the fat man, although he had cultivated the demon power with the rabbit fairy, but after all, the time was very short, and it would still be difficult to deal with this kind of yin thing that immediately cultivated from refinement to demon.
"Slow down ......!"
At this moment, the fat man snorted violently, and the three of us, including the half-ghost and half-demon man, all stopped the movements in our hands, and looked at the fat man inexplicably, not knowing what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"If you want to fight, you can fight, and Lao Tzu can accompany you, but before we fight, shouldn't we report our own names, lest we go to the underworld and don't know who killed us, wouldn't it be a shame?"
The fat man looked like he was very reasonable, and all three of us were stunned, but just like that, it aroused the approval of the half-ghost and half-demon man, and now I can take the fat man.
"To show my respect and sincerity to you, I came first"
The fat man first bowed to the half-ghost, half-demon man and said: "Lao Tzu's original name is Lu Lufei, eighteen years old this year, belonging to the feline family, the phylum Chordates of the animal kingdom, the subphylum vertebrates, mammals, the subclass of true beasts, and the suborder of cats."
After that, he straightened up, then bowed again, and continued:
"Lu Lufei is a cat breeder rabbit, Nian Qianyao, do you know who it is? Actually, I don't know, but ......" The fat man paused and stood up, bowed again, and then said:
"But...... Lao Tzu understands that you are a ghost monster, these three are my friends, his name is Lu Lulu, his name is Lu Lulu, his name is Lu Lulu, his name is Lu Lulu, it's time for you to introduce it"
When he finished speaking, we were all two demons, half ghosts and half demons, all of whom looked at the fat man in amazement, and I thought to myself, "What the hell is this mess? I can't even understand it, let alone the stupid guy on the other side, it's a shame that the fat man can make it up."
But the fat man didn't care how surprised a few of us were, stretched out his big hand and politely looked at the half-demon and half-ghost opposite, and seriously popped out three words:
"Please tell us about ......"
